Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama then realized that Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze was directed at...

Yukino Yukinoshita silently withdrew her gaze.

"What are you blocking?" Shizuka Hiratsuka asked helplessly. "Once you're here, just relax. No one's watching you—except Yukino."

Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth. "I don't know either... I was just spacing out."

"I'm so shy..." Yui Yuigahama's face flushed red. "This is my first time doing this with everyone..."

"It's because you care too much~" Komachi Hikigaya removed the towel. "It's nothing."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at it, then looked away.

"Wait, wait, wait..." Komachi Hikigaya puffed out her cheeks slightly, "Yukino, did you only glance at it just now?"

Yukino Yukinoshita somewhat at a loss. "Eh?"

"You've been staring at them for so long..." Komachi Hikigaya narrowed her eyes slightly. "Is it because my predictions were similar to yours?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "... I already told you I was just spacing out, thinking about some things."

"Then no one will be watching here anymore." Saki Kawasaki looked at Yui Yuigahama.

"Okay... alright..." Yui Yuigahama moved the towel away as well.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at it and almost couldn't look away.

But with amazing willpower, she managed to turn her gaze elsewhere.

Then he realized that everyone's eyes were on him.

That's correct.

Now she's the only one still using a towel to cover herself.

They won't be watching anyway.

Yukino Yukinoshita moved the towel aside.

"...?" Yukino Yukinoshita sensed something was wrong, raised her hand to shield herself, and asked coldly, "Didn't you say you wouldn't keep an eye on things?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka silently looked away. "Having a fiancé doesn't make any difference."

Saki Kawasaki nodded slightly. "There weren't any special marks."

Yui Yuigahama's eyes widened. "Traces...?!"

"Maybe..." Komachi Hikigaya blinked, "...it might be on the Yunshan?"

"On his body...!" Yukino Yukinoshita started to say, but couldn't continue.

Dong Yunshan might actually have it...

"Stop, stop, stop!" Shizuka Hiratsuka on the brakes. "There are teachers here, so please behave yourselves."

She is a teacher who has been single for many years and has recently been under intense pressure to get married.

After the jokes, the initial awkwardness and shyness dissipated, and everyone was able to relax and enjoy the hot springs more.

"I've been in the car for so long and haven't done anything, but I'm still so tired..." Yui Yuigahama sighed. "Not to mention the teacher who drove all day, you must be exhausted~"

"I usually drive myself around, this distance is nothing," Shizuka Hiratsuka said, closing her eyes to rest. "Besides, I have a particularly nice passenger today."

Saki Kawasaki nudged Yukino Yukinoshita: "You're praising your husband."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "... Thanks for reminding me."

"Honestly, seeing Yunshan's service makes me want to drive myself," Komachi Hikigaya exclaimed. "Next time Mom drives, I want to learn from Yunshan."

"Oh right, Yukino said before that there are a lot of things to pay attention to when you're in the passenger seat, and I was wondering about that." Yui Yuigahama, "I didn't realize there was so much to know."

"Not many can achieve the level of skill that Yunshan did." Shizuka Hiratsuka stretched lazily. "Most drivers don't need the passenger to do that. Just don't give driving instructions or distract the driver with your incessant chatter."

"It sounds like something someone would say based on experience." Yukino Yukinoshita turned to look at her. "But given the teacher's personality, she doesn't seem like the type to condone this kind of behavior."

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "It's your sister."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "... Oh."

Since it's Haruno Yukinoshita, there's nothing we can do.

If Shizuka Hiratsuka were to tolerate Haruno Yukinoshita's behavior, Haruno Yukinoshita might restrain herself.

However, if Shizuka Hiratsuka reacts strongly, given Haruno Yukinoshita's personality, she will inevitably escalate the situation.

"Speaking of which..." Yui Yuigahama looked towards the door with some concern, "Yunshan had a tough day too, being a good co-pilot and preparing dinner."

"He has great stamina, there's no need to worry about this." Yukino Yukinoshita tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "Besides, I just told him he doesn't need to do all of it, I'll go out and continue later."

Saki Kawasaki: "You have great stamina?"

She's really good at grasping the essentials.

Sensing the gazes that were gathering around her, Saki Kawasaki added, "I mean, I know he's physically very good, but just how good?"

All eyes turned to Yukino Yukinoshita.

"I don't know..." Yukino Yukinoshita's mind was filled with various images, which she then forcibly banished, selecting only the parts she could recall, "He could hold me while exercising for an hour and a half..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "Huh?"

Saki Kawasaki: "... That's not what I was asking."

Yui Yuigahama immediately covered her face.

Komachi Hikigaya blinked. "Exercise means..."

"Workout, huh?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked puzzled. "I'm adding weights for him... what else can I do?"

"Ah... ahahaha..." Shizuka Hiratsuka chuckled dryly. "Yeah, exercise... more exercise is good."

Saki Kawasaki looked away. "I was asking about my physical limits... the kind where I can't move anymore."

"I haven't met them yet." Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head, then suddenly paused. "You..."

"Um... well... it's just..." Yui Yuigahama stammered for a moment before finally finding a suitable topic, "What kind of sports does he usually do?"

"It's almost the same as in the activity room," Yukino Yukinoshita said, listing the exercises with ease, "Pull-ups, deadlifts, glute bridges..."

Komachi Hikigaya murmured, "Butt bridge?"

Saki Kawasaki stared at Yukino Yukinoshita: "Carrying weight?"

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "... I'll go make dinner."

"I won't ask anymore!" Yui Yuigahama grabbed Yukino Yukinoshita. "We've only been soaking for a little while."

It started to shake...

Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't even believe her eyes.

Just as she was wavering, Yui Yuigahama pulled her back into the bath.

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama suddenly noticed something. "Little Yukino, have you... grown up?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "... Hmm?"

"Compared to summer..." Yui Yuigahama recalled, "He seems to have grown a bit."

Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded proudly. "What did I tell you? It's not time to give up yet; the future is promising."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "... I've already said I don't care at all."

After relaxing in the hot springs, the girls changed into yukatas and stepped out of the bathhouse, feeling warm and refreshed.

"You look radiant!" Dong Yunshan exclaimed, offering a cup of hot tea. "Here, have some to rehydrate."

"Thank you, Brother Shan ~" Komachi Hikigaya happily accepted the perfectly heated tea.

"Go soak in the hot spring." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the food preparation as she sipped her tea, getting a general idea of the progress. "Leave the rest to me."

"The grilled fish will be ready in about three minutes, keep an eye on it." Dong Yunshan gently kissed her forehead. "I'm going to the bathroom first."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently. "Mmm~"

Watching Dong Yunshan enter the bathroom with a yukata, Yukino Yukinoshita turned and glared at the restless Yui Yuigahama: "You're not allowed to move!"

Yui Yuigahama said, looking aggrieved, "... I just wanted to take a look."

Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment. "You can bake cookies skillfully now, how about this, I'll teach you two simple dishes."

"Really?" Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up. "Little Yukino amazing!"

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned. "But you can't touch other dishes until you've mastered them."

Yui Yuigahama vigorously. "Mmm!"

"I'll teach you how to make tamagoyaki." Yukino Yukinoshita chose a relatively simple dish. "First, prepare the egg mixture..."

While continuing to prepare the dishes that Dong Yunshan had made, Yukino Yukinoshita was instructing Yui Yuigahama.

Making tamagoyaki is quite simple if you have a square pan and control the heat well.

Heat a pan over medium-low heat, grease it, pour in a layer of egg mixture, spread it out, roll it up, and push it to the side of the pan. Brush it with oil again, pour in another layer of egg mixture, shape it, and roll it up again... Repeat this process until it's finished.

"Little Yukino!" Yui Yuigahama in a panic, "The egg yolk is leaking out..."

"You're rolling it too fast, you need to slow down."

Why is the stratification so severe?

"You're rolling too slowly," Yukino Yukinoshita reminded her. "You need to roll it up when it's semi-solid so that the layers can adhere firmly."

"Little Yukino..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka discovered there was alcohol in the refrigerator and excitedly rolled up her sleeves, preparing to make another dish of bean sprouts and grilled pork to go with the alcohol.

Komachi Hikigaya helped the two of them, while Saki Kawasaki listened attentively.

"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita a little surprised. "You're not good at cooking either?"

Saki Kawasaki's expression froze. "I only know the very basic kind."

"Very basic" refers to...?

Saki Kawasaki stammered, unusually, "... ball."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "What?"

Saki Kawasaki lowered her head shyly. "Stewed taro balls."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."

Saki Kawasaki: "..."

"Well... at least you can cook!" Yui Yuigahama noticed the awkward silence. "I can't cook at all! So Saki Kawasaki is amazing, right, Little Yukino?"

"That's true." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. "I was just thinking about what I could learn faster, since I already have taro balls as a foundation."

"Speaking of stewed taro balls, it has to be Chikuzen-ni!" Komachi Hikigaya took out a few other ingredients. "Chikuzen-ni is a classic dish [for the family]. People who are good at making this kind of dish are often considered to be good wives and mothers."

"Is that even a saying?" Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes lit up. "I want to learn it too!"

Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "The reason this dish gives people that impression is because of its complicated steps, requiring the pre-processing of various root vegetables, stir-frying first and then stewing..."

When Yukino Yukinoshita heard about stewed taro balls, the first thing that came to her mind was Chikuzen-ni (chikuzen stew).

However, there were too many skills required to make Chikuzen-ni, so she didn't mention it and instead considered other more suitable options.

but...

Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly, "Since you're interested..."

Chapter 712 Snow Night Sweet Wine

"Mmm~ It smells so good." Dong Yunshan walked out of the bathroom, drying her hair. "Chikuzen-ni?"

"Oh right~" Yui Yuigahama turned her head happily, a smug smile on her face, "This is something we completed together with Little Yukino's guidance..."

The moment she saw the Dong Yunshan, Yui Yuigahama's voice faded.

"You can make such difficult dishes now?" Dong Yunshan walked over with a smile.

Shizuka Hiratsuka's gaze flickered, and a smile played on her lips, "Not bad~"

Dong Yunshan looked at the colorful stew in the pot and nodded in agreement. "It's really good."

Saki Kawasaki coughed lightly. "The teacher probably wasn't talking about cooking..."
