Yukinoshita's Correction Method

He chuckled softly at the same time.

In the photo, on a rapidly falling log boat, Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita hold hands and gaze intently at each other.

The wind blew through Yukino Yukinoshita's long hair, the lamplight illuminated Yukino Yukinoshita face, and splashing water droplets refracted brilliant light, surrounding the two of them.

It didn't feel like riding a thrilling amusement park ride; it felt more like spending a leisurely time on a park bench.

Yukino Yukinoshita carefully put the photo into her bag and tucked their intertwined hands into Dong Yunshan's pocket.

After buying the Christmas limited edition Panda Johnny -shaped drink from the store, the two headed to the meeting point in the square, as agreed upon with everyone.

"Over here!" Yui Yuigahama had already secured a good spot, waved happily. "The view from here is amazing!"

Komachi Hikigaya her camera ready early. "We've been waiting for you."

Yukino Yukinoshita curiously, "Waiting for us?"

"Want to take one?" Saki Kawasaki looked at them expectantly, "A kiss under the fireworks..."

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed slightly. "There's no need for that special kiss..."

The streetlights and decorative lights around the square were all turned off, and familiar Christmas music drifted gently through the night sky.

As if avoiding their gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at the sky above the white castle. "It's about to begin."

In the clear winter night sky, a vast expanse of colorful flowers blooms.

The first burst of light pierced the sky, accompanied by gasps of delight from the crowd. The dazzling fireworks bloomed like a giant flower of light above the castle.

Then, more fireworks and music danced together, like dancing musical notes, rushing densely and rhythmically into the night sky, painting a magnificent sea of light layer upon layer.

Having a year-round pass, Yukino Yukinoshita has seen many Disney fireworks displays, and felt that this performance was not much different from the previous ones.

Familiar place, familiar fireworks, familiar scene...

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head and looked into Dong Yunshan's eyes.

A familiar person.

So many familiar things intertwined at this moment, creating a feeling different from before.

The dazzling fireworks illuminate the night sky and linger in your eyes.

Everything I know has taken on a new brilliance because of you.

Yukino Yukinoshita, and the Dong Yunshan also bowed its head at that moment.

The fleeting brilliance paused the moment the lips touched.

Then, a huge golden firework burst open behind the highest spire of the castle, like the most dazzling jewel in a crown, bursting forth with brilliance and transforming into a golden waterfall cascading down.

I knew it... Saki Kawasaki gazed contentedly at the figures embracing in the light.

At that moment Komachi Hikigaya pressed the shutter, and then took a series of photos amidst a continuous series of sounds.

Yui Yuigahama suddenly understood what Yukino Yukinoshita just said.

So, the idea that you don't need to kiss intentionally means... you'll inevitably kiss each other sooner or later.

An old married couple has a tacit understanding.

In comparison, the others... eh?

Yui Yuigahama's eyes flickered as she searched for Hina Ebina's figure.

Previously, Tobe Kakeru mentioned knowing a hidden gem of a great fireworks viewing spot and encouraged everyone to go there.

Yui Yuigahama didn't go because she had made a promise with Yukino Yukinoshita.

I could see it just a moment ago, but now I can't find it... I found it.

Yui Yuigahama spotted Hina Ebina, with Tobe Kakeru beside her.

And then there's the out-of-place Yumiko Miura.

Unlike the people around her who were watching the fireworks in the sky, Yumiko Miura's gaze was fixed ahead, as if she was about to walk over, but then she stopped.

there...

In the square filled with light and cheers, Iroha Isshiki and Hayama Hayato were talking about something.

Then, Iroha Isshiki lowered her head and slowly left.

Immediately afterwards, Hayama Hayato also headed in another direction.

As the music ended, the streetlights and other lighting fixtures, now turned on again, shone even brighter.

So that's how it is...

Yui Yuigahama finally understood.

If Tobe Kakeru knew the hidden, excellent spot for watching the fireworks, he should have told everyone about it at the agreed meeting point, instead of taking them there when the square was already packed with people just before the fireworks started.

Therefore, his purpose is very clear.

It involves choosing a time when it's crowded to move everyone around.

In this way, it's easy for everyone to get separated.

If Iroha Isshiki could delay Hayama Hayato for even a little while, he would have enough time to be alone with him.

Tobe Kakeru is creating an opportunity for Iroha Isshiki.

A special invitation, Christmas at Disney, the fireworks display at the white castle, an opportunity for the two of them to be together...

Iroha Isshiki is confessing her Hayama Hayato.

As for the result...

Amidst the cheers and exclamations of the tourists, Iroha Isshiki covered her mouth as if she were enduring something, and quickly ran away from everyone.

"Ah! Iroha Isshiki!" Tobe Kakeru noticed something was wrong and called out, "Wait a minute--!"

But Iroha Isshiki disappeared into the crowd without looking back.

"I'm going to find her!" Tobe Kakeru rushed over in a hurry.

Yumiko Miura twirled a strand of hair between her fingers and sighed deeply, "... I'll go too."

Hina Ebina nodded. "I'll go help too."

"Ah!" Yui Yuigahama, "Me too!"

"Yui Yuigahama ...you have everyone's contact information. You all stay here together. If she comes back, she'll see it right away." Yumiko Miura tossed her hair in frustration. "If you see her, contact us. If we find her, we can tell you directly."

"Mm." Yui Yuigahama. "Okay."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Yui Yuigahama with a puzzled expression. "What happened?"

"Well..." Yui Yuigahama sighed softly, "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics either."

Dong Yunshan's eyes darted around, and using her height advantage, she spotted a figure in the corner. "I'll go ask."

In a somewhat shady spot, Hayama Hayato stood alone.

Seeing Dong Yunshan approach, Hayama Hayato forced a smile, "You've come."

Dong Yunshan frowned slightly. "Aren't you going?"

"I shouldn't have gone..." Hayama Hayato sat on the railing in the plaza. "I broke Iroha's heart."

Dong Yunshan paused for a moment, recalling Iroha Isshiki's cheerful voice on the phone.

"Disney, awesome! Oh, by the way, can I bring one more person? I'll take care of the tickets."

"You refused?"

"Agreeing would also break her heart." Hayama Hayato lowered his head, the shadow of his hair obscuring his eyes. "That would be an even greater hurt."

Dong Yunshan nodded. "Indeed."

Hayama Hayato sighed softly, "Is that all?"

Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "You want me to give you some advice?"

"You can't do anything about it either...?" Hayama Hayato, somewhat unwilling. "If it were you, what would you do?"

Dong Yunshan twitched the corner of his mouth. "I'm not some kind of 'central air conditioning' guy who's all warm and welcoming."

"Did I cause her to misunderstand?" Hayama Hayato stared at Dong Yunshan. "However, you might also bear some responsibility."

"Ha?"

"It should have been within a safe range..." Hayama Hayato murmured, "But seeing the couple's happiness made me act impulsively..."

"Happy couples aren't happy because they're couples," Dong Yunshan shook her head, "They become couples because they're happy."

"...You're right." Hayama Hayato stepped away from the railing. "I'm going back now."

Watching Hayama Hayato disappear into the darkness, Dong Yunshan turned to look around.

So... where did Iroha Isshiki go?

"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka's gaze locked onto a familiar figure, "Iroha?"

Haruno Yukinoshita followed her gaze and noticed the girl with heavy steps. "Your student doesn't seem very happy~"

"Something might have happened," Shizuka Hiratsuka said worriedly as she followed.

Haruno Yukinoshita quickened her pace to catch up with Shizuka Hiratsuka, then turned to look at her with a smile, "Are you going to help her?"

"That's my student, I'm her teacher," Shizuka Hiratsuka replied matter-of-factly. "I may not be able to help, but I can't refuse to help."

Haruno Yukinoshita's voice drifted back. "Perhaps... it's better not to help."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"She probably just wants to rest for a while, or to calm down by herself." Haruno Yukinoshita's smile was perfect, but her eyes seemed to flicker with unextinguished embers. "She could have faced it alone, but the help from others might have made her feel that she needed help, or even that she could get help."

Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly stopped in her tracks, her gaze falling on Haruno Yukinoshita.

"For a moment, I thought you could save me..." Haruno Yukinoshita's voice was distant, then suddenly turned into a playful tone, "If she gets that misunderstanding, that would be terrible."

"You're right..." Shizuka Hiratsuka grabbed Haruno Yukinoshita's wrist. "To avoid this situation, you should come with me."

PS: 4k chapter, here's an extra update.

Chapter 643 Daydreaming

Haruno Yukinoshita still in a daze, she had already started running after Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Shizuka Hiratsuka pulled her through the crowd and caught up with Iroha Isshiki, whose pace had slowed down.

Her gaze lingered briefly on Iroha Isshiki's reddened eyes. Shizuka Hiratsuka, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"T-Teacher..." Iroha Isshiki avoided her gaze, hastily wiping her cheek. "It's nothing..."

"Is that so?" Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded, took out her phone, "Then I'll call the others over. It's time to go back."

"No!" Iroha Isshiki instinctively refused, then glanced away, "It's alright, I... I can go back by myself."

"That's perfect. I wasn't planning on dropping that young couple off anyway." Shizuka Hiratsuka sent an email to Dong Yunshan, then nodded towards the parking area. "I can use dropping you off as an excuse to leave first."

Iroha Isshiki pondered her reasons for refusing, "Then what about them..."

"Yunshan can just make a phone call and a car will come..." Shizuka Hiratsuka paused, "If you don't believe me, then wait until we meet up and he can tell you."

"I believe..." Iroha Isshiki knew that Dong Yunshan could easily find a car to go home; she just wanted to find a reason to reject Shizuka Hiratsuka.

However, compared to the reunion that Shizuka Hiratsuka mentioned, it's better for Shizuka Hiratsuka to leave now.

"Alright then..." Iroha Isshiki knew that her teacher was worried about her current state and wouldn't let her act alone.

In that case, it's better to leave with the teacher before the others arrive.

Shizuka Hiratsuka started the car and drove away from Disneyland with Haruno Yukinoshita and Iroha Isshiki in tow.

Shizuka Hiratsuka deliberately had Iroha Isshiki sit in the passenger seat while she drove, secretly observing Iroha Isshiki's situation.

As a teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka is very experienced in judging students' emotions.

Although Iroha Isshiki appears calm, her inner emotions are likely churning.

This is also the main reason why Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn't just leave her alone.

The emotional turmoil that Iroha Isshiki is currently suppressing may very well drive her to do something irrational if it is not released.

Therefore, Shizuka Hiratsuka needs to stay by Iroha Isshiki's side, guide her to release her emotions calmly, and help her face them rationally.
