Can't Think of a Title

Yukino, who was standing nearby, said, "Now that you've recovered, Kirino, why don't you go home? Your family must be getting impatient."

"... Um."

Speaking of this, Kirino's enthusiasm immediately waned.

"Kirino?" Ayase comforted her, "I heard you had a fight with your uncle, right? Do you want me to go with you to apologize?"

"No, that's not necessary!"

Kirino's face stiffened. If Ayase went along, there was a high chance the truth would be revealed...

Her helpless gaze suddenly darted towards Shuya and Yukino.

"Why are you interfering in other people's family affairs?"

Shuya sighed.

"Kirino's family affairs are my family affairs! We're such good friends."

Ayase gave a fragmented speech.

"What a ghost! Since you're so free, why don't you practice your swordsmanship? I want to see how much you've improved these past few days. Yukino- chan, you take Kirino- chan home."

"Alright."

Although Yukino is aloof, she still takes good care of her juniors like Kirino.

Shuya took Ayase to the rooftop of the apartment building to check on her progress.

Kirino finally relaxed.

"Let me take you back. You go pack your things... But no, you shouldn't bring those things home, lest they upset your father. I'll take them back to your office room later."

Yukino said.

"Yukino- senpai is so nice!"

Kirino hugged Yukino with a grin, nuzzling against her.

"Don't do that."

Yukino was also helpless.

She immediately took Kirino to her house.

We arrived quickly and smoothly.

Kirino came out. Yukino wanted to ask Kyousuke to open the door, but when she called him, he was at work and not at home.

In the end, it was Yukino opened the door using her Power of Will.

Who is it?

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, Takaita Daisuke walked out of the living room.

He had a stern face and a fierce look in his eyes.

"I apologize for disturbing you, Mr. Takaita."

Yukino was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized why Takaita Daisuke, who should have been working, was here.

It's clear that after Kyousuke told his parents that Kirino's matter had been resolved that morning, Takaita Daisuke didn't go to work and had been waiting for his daughter to come home.

Ha, a doting father.

Yukino thought this to herself, but didn't show it.

She simply bowed to Takaita Daisuke.

"Ah, um."

Takaita Takasaka struggled with Yukino's impeccable manners, so he could only give a muffled hum.

"I'm back."

Kirino pretended to be ordinary.

"... Um."

Takaita Daisuke glanced at her, confirming the situation.

Seeing that Kirino hadn't changed much, Takaita Daisuke to Yukino and said, "I heard from Kyousuke that Kirino has been staying at your house for the past couple of days, right? I'm so sorry to have troubled you."

"No, that's not true. Kirino my junior, it's my duty to take care of her. Please look up."

Yukino calmly.

"In short, thank you very much."

Takaita Daisuke thanked him again, then asked, "Where's Inoue Shuya? Didn't he come?"

"... Inoue- kun has something come up."

Yukino answered.

Takaita Daisuke nodded; in fact, he didn't want to see Shuya either.

But he still said, "Please thank him for me too."

"I will."

Yukino nodded.

After Takaita Daisuke and Yukino finished speaking, they finally looked at Kirino.

Kirino wasn't afraid of him and stared straight into his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Takaita Daisuke turned his back to her and said, "Come in, I bought ice cream. Have some if you want."

He went back to the living room.

"... oh."

Kirino entered the entrance hall and said to Yukino, "I'll go in now. Thank you for bringing me back, Yukino- senpai."

"Um."

Yukino nodded and then added, "Remember to go to school tomorrow."

"OK."

Kirino readily agreed.

Yukino simply turned and left.

After she took to the air, she finally couldn't help but smile, "What an unreliable family..."

Yukino returned home, she could see Ayase lying motionless on the rooftop of her apartment building, Shuya was poking her intermittently with First Snow.

"..."

Yukino landed silently on the rooftop, her gaze sweeping over the others.

Ayase was kicked to the ground like a dog, her knife carelessly tossed aside like trash.

She hesitated and said, "Inoue- kun? What's going on here...?"

"Disciplining the increasingly unruly junior."

Shuya replied nonchalantly.

"Specifically?"

"I gave her a good beating to teach her a lesson."

Shuya was clearly unhappy about Ayase stabbing him.

So what if she's a yandere? A beating will fix it.

If one meal isn't enough, have another.

Anyway Ayase is a warrior, so she's very resilient.

Shuya chuckled twice, "How can you become a powerful martial artist without getting the worst beatings? I was also beaten up by my teacher back in the day. It proves that crushing weaklings is really satisfying."

"Yeah."

Yukino gave a perfunctory reply, went up and picked up the semi-conscious Ayase, then with a wave of her hand, drew Ayase's sword towards her.

"You guys are done fighting, right? I'll take Ayase downstairs then."

"Alright."

Shuya is perfectly acceptable.

Yukino took Ayase downstairs to take care of her. After opening the door, she turned back and looked at Shuya with feigned surprise. "Inoue- kun, what are you doing here?"

"Um?"

Shuya puzzled.

Yukino's smile held a hint of mischief, "Kirino's matter is resolved. I'll take good care of Ayase. You're no longer of any use, so go home. I won't keep you any longer."

After she finished speaking, she went into her house, slammed the door shut, Shuya outside.

"Tsk, people these days are so cold-hearted."

Shuya and cursing.

He could force his way in, but that would mean facing Yukino's cold words.

He was impatient with dealing with it.

Shuya decided where to go next in a second.

He left Yukino's house, went back to his own house first to pick up the maid outfit that Haruno had given him, and then flew to Haruno's house and opened the door.

"Waaaaah?!"

The Little Fox, who was watching TV in the living room, let out a mournful cry, swiftly slipped to the balcony, closed the door, and tried to disappear from Shuya's sight.

Shuya ignored it; he simply didn't like the fox's ex.

I won't hold a grudge against it... at most I'll play with it occasionally.

Haruno's house was deserted; she hadn't returned yet.

Shuya took out his phone and asked her. It turned out that she wasn't working today, but was attending a university class.

He didn't tell Haruno that he was at her house, otherwise she might have run away.

Section 493, page 458: Can't think of a title

That is indeed the case.

At dusk, Haruno went home after class.

When she reached her front door, she fell silent for a moment.

She sensed a familiar presence inside.

Haruno: "..."

Without hesitation, she turned around quietly and retreated without making a sound.

However, the door opened, Shuya asked with a smile, "Haruno, where do you want to go?"

"Did you suddenly remember you have work?"

Haruno a smile.

Do you think I'll believe you?

Shuya spat and pulled Haruno back home.

(The following is censored)

That evening, Haruno lay motionless on the sofa, her eyes vacant.

She wasn't wearing the maid outfit anymore.

If you ask why, it's because it has completed its historical mission and is so broken that it can't even be repaired.

I'm currently in a trash can.
