Yukinoshita's Correction Method

After everyone had finished eating ramen and gone home, Yukino Yukinoshita finally received her sister's reply:

[Wow, it's so beautiful! I think you should go see it sometime, sister.]

Yukino Yukinoshita looked up at Dong Yunshan beside her. Dong Yunshan ruffled her hair without saying a word.

With a soft touch of her fingertips, Yukino Yukinoshita edited a message, revising it repeatedly, before finally sending it:

[Yes, it's worth a visit.]

Haruno Yukinoshita: [Let's go together with my sister~ We can bring Yunshan ~]

Yukino Yukinoshita: [We'll see later, some people didn't come today.]

Haruno Yukinoshita: [Wow~ Such a strong resentment, is it thinking about its sister?]

Yukino Yukinoshita stared at the screen for a long time, her cherry lips pressed into a thin line: [Yes]

Haruno Yukinoshita replied after a long time: [You're getting married soon, so you're starting to miss your older sister? My little sister is so cute~ I'll miss you too. How about letting Yunshan marry into our family instead, so we can be together forever!]

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly: [He didn't think that way.]

Haruno Yukinoshita: [It always takes time~ Ideas need to be nurtured, and I'll do my best too. Let's work hard together!]

Yukino Yukinoshita: [I didn't think that way either.]

Haruno Yukinoshita: [Give it a try! I have a great idea, do you want to hear it?]

Yukino Yukinoshita: [No]

Haruno Yukinoshita did not reply.

Yukino Yukinoshita angrily shoved the phone into Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita hugged the cushion, her cute little face puffed up, squeezing it hard with her hands.

So cute~

Dong Yunshan smiled broadly, picked up her phone, and quickly glanced at the notes. "This is a deliberate attempt to end the conversation."

"I know," Yukino Yukinoshita muttered softly.

"That means your reply was really effective," Dong Yunshan said, hugging Yukino Yukinoshita. "You've won another round."

Yukino Yukinoshita is able to confront and express her own thoughts.

Haruno Yukinoshita, however, was deliberately avoiding the situation.

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a soft hum, a hint of smugness in her smile.

Then I became a little worried.

"What if..." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her knuckles against her chin, "What if she keeps running away like this?"

"Didn't she already say that herself?"

"Hmm? Ah..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the chat history, "Missing my sister?"

Dong Yunshan blinked. "So it's normal to ask my sister to go shopping together, right?"

"Let's see how she behaves afterward." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly.

The next day, we went to the Sweet Chocolate Paradise and the dazzling Light Decoration Village, but Haruno Yukinoshita didn't come.

On the third day, just as Yukino Yukinoshita was about to find a way to call her out, Haruno Yukinoshita suddenly said that things were almost settled.

Haruno Yukinoshita drove everyone to the interesting shops she had noted in her notes. Following Iroha Isshiki's original plan, they went to some good places to eat and have fun, and also visited a few clothing and accessory shops.

Although these places were very interesting, and I bought quite a few things while visiting them, compared to the places I went to a few days ago, I always felt that something was missing.

Until we arrived at the handmade workshop.

Compared to a store, this place is more like a well-organized giant warehouse, with display counters and shelves that go from floor to ceiling, displaying various materials in a categorized manner.

Glass beads, metal beads, and acrylic accessories arranged by color spectrum; transparent drawers filled with pendants, pins, chains, and earrings; felt, fabric, paint, metal wire, epoxy resin, heat shrink film, handmade leather...

There are no expensive experience fees here; you only need to pay for the materials to experience the fun of making it yourself.

You can learn simple production methods on-site and complete your creation with the help of the shop staff.

Alternatively, you can buy the materials, take the tutorial home, and study it at your own pace.

Iroha Isshiki skillfully communicated with the store staff during the interview, learning various relevant knowledge.

Yui Yuigahama looked at the dazzling array of materials and was itching to buy them.

"Since we're here, let's give it a try." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her sister and said, "Let's see what interests us."

Yui Yuigahama looked around. "Little Yukino, what do you want to do?"

"I haven't decided yet." Yukino Yukinoshita knew Yui Yuigahama's personality well. "Let's choose separately and then meet up later."

"Mmm!" Yui Yuigahama strolled around without any worries.

Dong Yunshan also began looking for things that interested her, while Haruno Yukinoshita stayed by Yukino Yukinoshita's side the whole time.

"Sister..." Yukino Yukinoshita had gone to several places, but Haruno Yukinoshita showed no sign of leaving. "Isn't there anything that interests you?"

Haruno Yukinoshita smiled and said, "I'm looking for it~"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "... Where are you going?"

"This way," Haruno Yukinoshita pointed in a direction.

Yukino Yukinoshita immediately walked to the other side.

Haruno Yukinoshita immediately followed.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "..."

Haruno Yukinoshita browsed the materials on the shelf. "Yunshan whispered something to me earlier."

"Didn't my sister go to find him first?"

"I wasn't planning on whispering anything to him!"

"He didn't intend to do that." Yukino Yukinoshita picked up a bead. "So it wasn't a whisper."

"You could say there's a hidden meaning in what I'm saying~" Haruno Yukinoshita lightly tapped the transparent drawer, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"I've been correcting him." Yukino Yukinoshita put down the beads and continued walking forward. "Now it's my turn to manage the consequences."

"So you know what he's going to do~" Haruno Yukinoshita murmured, "Or... do you have no idea what he's going to do at all?"

"The one who doesn't know is probably my older sister." Yukino Yukinoshita stopped in her tracks. "Do you really know what he's going to do?"

"Just some..." Haruno Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes slightly, "... unnecessary matters."

"So you don't know." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered, and she noticed a familiar drawing. She walked over to it.

"This looks interesting." Haruno Yukinoshita followed her sister and saw the pixel art of Panda Johnny. "This is... Perler beads?"

Yukino Yukinoshita flipped through the instructions beside her and gained a general understanding.

Simply put, it involves arranging colored plastic beads according to a pixel pattern on a perforated template, then using an iron to heat and shape them, ultimately creating items such as keychains, pendants, and decorative paintings.

Simple to operate, easy to learn, and produces exquisite finished products.

The seller provided many pixel art images, including various popular characters.

Yukino Yukinoshita selected the corresponding color and number of beans according to the color of the pixel image.

Haruno Yukinoshita.

Everyone regrouped and found a suitable workbench.

Yui Yuigahama found the planner section, saw the finished products on display, and was immediately captivated. She chose a pink planner, and also picked out some washi tape and magazines.

Dong Yunshan was holding a piece of wood in his hand.

"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"A little surprise." Dong Yunshan glanced around and found that the tools needed for the initial treatment were elsewhere, so he left first.

Sand the wood smooth, draw the desired outline on it with a pencil, and then transfer it onto the wood.

Use a wire cutter to slowly cut out the overall shape along the drawn outline, and then use a file to grind away the burrs and saw marks to make the curves more rounded.

Dong Yunshan, with his precise control over his body, compressed the entire process into an extremely short time.

Back with Yukino Yukinoshita, Dong Yunshan slowly finished polishing the last bit of material while checking on the others.

The journal that Yui Yuigahama is making is not difficult to operate. She chooses a suitable pattern on washi tape, cuts it out, and pastes it on the journal. By combining various elements, a picture with a unique artistic conception is created.

During the tape application process, Yui Yuigahama deliberately left many blank areas for later writing and note-taking.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Haruno Yukinoshita first tried out simpler pixel art to understand the general process and specific methods before starting to assemble the relatively complex Panda Johnny.

Yukino Yukinoshita and noticed that the pixel art her sister had chosen was a little larger than hers. Although they were both Panda Johnny, there were subtle differences in their poses and outfits.

A larger size doesn't necessarily mean a better finished product.

After her recent attempt, Yukino Yukinoshita has figured out the specific principles behind it.

Although Perler beads are simple, there are quite a few details to pay attention to during the process.

Especially when heating, a slight lapse in attention can lead to regrets.

We can win.

By placing the different colored beans in their corresponding positions, Yukino Yukinoshita was the first to complete the pattern, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

I turned my head and saw my sister still busy.

Is it that slow?

As Yukino Yukinoshita was wondering what was going on, she suddenly saw Haruno Yukinoshita pick up a craft knife, cut the already small bean into pieces, and then combine it with another color of bean and put it on the bean curd board.

This is...

Yukino Yukinoshita pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized her sister's purpose in doing so.

Because Perler beads are made by assembling individual small beads into pixel patterns, even if two people choose relatively small beads to create a relatively large pattern, there is still a certain lack in terms of color detail.

Especially where the lines are relatively sharp.

The older sister's method allows for the creation of more delicate brushstrokes in Perler bead art.

I can't believe it...

"You've finished yours too~" Haruno Yukinoshita finished her Perler bead artwork, turned to her younger sister, and said, "Let's start ironing together."

"...Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded.

There's still a chance.

If only it could be ironed better...

Set the iron to a suitable temperature, cover the Perler beads with ironing paper, and then slowly move the iron in small circles until the beads melt and stick together to form a pixelated texture.

very good...

Yukino Yukinoshita carefully lifted the ironing paper, and after seeing the complete Panda Johnny, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Turning to look at my sister's finished product...

Because she used the technique of cutting beans, Haruno Yukinoshita's work is more refined in detail.

However, due to the cutting process, the stability of the beans decreased, resulting in slight deformation of the final ironed image.

The result, despite similar patterns and the same characters, evoked completely different feelings.

It's hard to say which is better...

Did they win? Lose? Or did it end in a draw?

For a moment, Yukino Yukinoshita was also unable to make a definitive statement.

"Here you go." Haruno Yukinoshita handed the completed pixel art to her younger sister.

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was deep in thought, was interrupted and looked blankly at him, "Hmm?"

Haruno Yukinoshita: "It's yours."

Aren't you going to keep it for yourself?

"Me? I don't particularly like this panda." Haruno Yukinoshita waved her hand. "It can't stay with me. I might lose it any day."

"Don't like it? How come..." Yukino Yukinoshita had barely begun to speak when she already knew the answer.

Everyone has things they like and dislike.
