Compendium of Anime: My Five Senses Linked with the Top Daughters of Ten Thousand Worlds Chapter 48

Yukino Yukinoshita placed her school bag on the marble countertop, the metal emblem clinking crisply against the stone.

The girl's movement, as she took barley tea from the refrigerator, suddenly froze—Haruno had somehow circled behind her, her chin resting lazily on top of Yukino's head.

Her long, silky hair spread across both their shoulders. Haruno's voice was sweet, like honeyed black tea, "Little Yukino, have you started taking an interest in romance lately?"

Yukino Yukinoshita spun around abruptly. She looked at her sister, who had stepped back, her gaze falling on the Love Beat in Haruno's hand.

It was something she had casually placed beside her school bag.

"That was given to me by Ms. Hiratsuka..."

Unconsciously, Yukino Yukinoshita explained the book's origin.

Upon hearing Hiratsuka's name, a flicker of understanding crossed Haruno's eyes.

She had indeed asked Shizuka Hiratsuka to keep an eye on her sister. Although the woman had reluctantly agreed, Haruno knew her well enough to be sure that once she promised something, she would follow through.

Haruno Yukinoshita, who also found her sister's personality a headache, found it a bit amusing. Was Ms. Hiratsuka planning to use this method to make little Yukino more like a normal girl her age?

That would be underestimating their Yukinoshita family's parenting methods, and underestimating Yukino even more...

Thinking this, Haruno Yukinoshita walked over to the sofa and sat down, casually opening the second volume of the book, which her sister had clearly already read.

After tidying her school bag, Yukino Yukinoshita noticed her sister hadn't moved for a long time. Although they didn't always get along, they were still sisters. With a touch of curiosity, the girl returned to the living room, just in time to see Haruno Yukinoshita pull out her phone and quickly dial a number.

Ring—ring—

The call connected.

"Shiyu Kasumigaoka!!! How dare you fold me up! Don't run!!! I'm going to draw a turtle on your forehead this time!!!!"

A nearly screaming female voice pierced through the receiver, assaulting the ears of the Yukinoshita sisters.

Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned.

That voice... it sounded like Sawamura-san from her class!?

What did she mean by "fold me up"? And she called out Kasumigaoka-senpai's name. Were they fighting?
