Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Komachi Hikigaya asked worriedly, "You two haven't spoken since then, have you?"

"Hehe~" Yui Yuigahama, "I went straight to talk to her, and she got really angry and scolded me."

Yukino Yukinoshita.

"They kept saying my ball skills were bad, that I was a coward, and that I shouldn't run around if I have a sprain..." Yui Yuigahama smiled cutely, bouncing around a couple of times to show her current physical condition. "But her sprain medicine is really effective; I'm completely fine now! It would have been even better if the massage had been a little lighter..."

Dong Yunshan's expression was complicated. "Applying medicine while scolding me, are you sure you're really classmates?"

"I rarely exercise, so I don't even know how to apply medicine to a sprain..." Yui Yuigahama muttered softly. "Of course, it's because we're classmates, what else could it be?"

For example, a tsundere mother and a silly daughter... Such thoughts couldn't help but pop into Komachi Hikigaya's mind.

However, it seems that this competition not only fulfilled Saika Totsuka's request, but also helped Yui Yuigahama, who had already undergone some changes, to gradually get used to her own transformation.

She still cares about what others think, but this concern is no longer an obstacle preventing her from expressing herself.

Volume 5 May Holidays: Chapter 175 Holiday Plans

"Plans for Golden Week?" Dong Yunshan sipped his black tea. "I don't really have any plans yet. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll probably just take on some commissions and practice cooking."

The Golden Week refers to a long holiday period from the end of April to the beginning of May each year. Because these holidays are adjacent or have short intervals, people often make adjustments to their work schedules or take leave to create a long holiday of seven to ten days.

During my first year of high school, Dong Yunshan occasionally skipped classes, so she doesn't have much of an impression of the Golden Week.

Once I entered my second year of high school, I started attending classes diligently, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

When Yui Yuigahama asked, Dong Yunshan realized that Golden Week was just around the corner.

"Huh?" Komachi Hikigaya seemed a little disappointed. "Is that all?"

"It's about time I took on some more jobs." Dong Yunshan recalled the past, "I've been so busy with school matters lately that my Odd Jobs Agency) is practically defunct."

You're busy with school stuff... Komachi Hikigaya glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita.

Dong Yunshan was clearly busy with things at home.

Or perhaps... you're busy with settling down?

"Where 'Little Yukino?" Yui Yuigahama turned her head. "What are your plans for Golden Week?"

"Physical training." Yukino Yukinoshita planned this all along.

Although she had experienced stamina issues during previous matches, Yukino Yukinoshita's stamina has improved significantly compared to the past.

Given that Yumiko Miura didn't seem like the type to give up easily, Yukino Yukinoshita considered it for a moment and decided to strike while the iron was hot, at least to improve her stamina to the point where she could play a full game.

Komachi Hikigaya glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, then at Dong Yunshan, her expression suddenly enlightened.

I see.

"Isn't this perfect?" Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up. "Shinonome is an expert in this area."

"I can manage on my own..." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "He still has things to do at the Odd Jobs Agency."

"We also take on training requests," Odd Jobs Agency Dong Yunshan considered for a moment. "A week isn't enough to dramatically improve physical strength, but it's sufficient to master the basic movements and develop good habits."

If it's about training, Yukino Yukinoshita has to listen to him.

Dong Yunshan didn't want to miss such a good opportunity for correction.

"Then..." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes shimmered, "I..."

Before I could even say what I wanted to say, an unwanted phone call came in.

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her phone screen, her eyes instantly turning gloomy, and even her face turned ugly.

"I'm going to answer this phone..." Yukino Yukinoshita gripped her phone, stood up, walked out of the activity room, and answered the call, "Mom."

A gentle female voice came through the phone. "Yukino, how have you been lately? Are you adjusting well to the new semester?"

"It's alright," Yukino Yukinoshita replied calmly, "The same as before."

"You moved out when you started high school and didn't come home for spring break. You've never been away from your mother for so long before. Come back Golden Week holiday. Your father is free, so we can go out for a stroll as a family."

Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly. "Golden Week...?"

"What, do you have other plans?" Yukinoshita's mother asked gently. "It's alright. If you have something more important to say, you can tell your mother."

"No..."

"Did you make a promise with someone? I heard you've made a lot of friends." Yukinoshita's mother paused. "If needed, I can apologize on your behalf, after all, you made a promise beforehand."

Gentle, considerate, and understanding.

Yukino Yukinoshita tightened her grip on her phone.

But... you absolutely cannot disobey.

If you don't want to go home, give me a valid reason.

If it's an agreement with someone else that you can't refuse, then let me handle the negotiations.

Hidden beneath that gentleness was an all-too-obvious hint.

"Your mom and dad miss you so much, it's been so long since we've seen each other," Yukinoshita's mother said gently. "If you were staying at home, there's no need to travel during Golden Week."

You don't have to come back during the Golden Week Golden Week; you can just move back home afterward.

"I'll go back," Yukino Yukinoshita replied weakly. "I just need to pack some things."

"Then it's settled. If your friends are interested, they can come along too; it'll be more lively with more people."

"...No need." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly. "Everyone has their own plans."

After hanging up her mother's phone call, Yukino Yukinoshita looked towards the door of the activity room.

He had just taken one step when he stopped.

I picked up my phone again and dialed my sister's number.

"Mom said we're going on a trip Golden Week," Yukino Yukinoshita succinctly summarized, "All together as a family."

"I just got a call too," Haruno Yukinoshita said cheerfully. "It feels like it's been ages since we went on a trip together. Looks like Dad hasn't been so busy with work lately."

"Why?"

"Of course it's because of you, otherwise why would it be because of me?"

"... Why?"

"You should have thought about this day when you decided to move out on your own," Haruno Yukinoshita said with a hint of amusement in her voice. "After all, you're just moving out."

"She agreed."

"She just didn't object," Haruno Yukinoshita corrected. "After all, objection needs a reason."

"Then why now...?"

"I didn't snitch, you know. My older sister still has that much loyalty." Haruno Yukinoshita chuckled. "The one who gave her a reason to object was you."

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips, realizing the crux of the matter. "... the match."

"After causing such a commotion, we can't just pretend nothing happened." Haruno Yukinoshita's tone was complicated. "Now that she has a reason to object, you can't ignore her objections like you did before."

"This is my business..."

"It's more than that now," Haruno Yukinoshita said earnestly. "I've warned you before, everything should have clear boundaries."

"I already drew the line." Yukino Yukinoshita a deep breath. "Before you reminded me."

"Then don't overthink it." Haruno Yukinoshita chuckled softly. "Just enjoy your vacation~"

Yukino Yukinoshita hung up the phone number 8521042 in the novel group, and it took her a while to open the door to the activity room.

Under the watchful eyes of the three, Yukino Yukinoshita calmly said, "We'll choose a time for physical training later... I'm going on a trip with my family Golden Week."

"No problem." Dong Yunshan nodded. "Have a pleasant trip."

"Okay." Yukino Yukinoshita turned her gaze to the window.

Did you have a pleasant trip...?

Volume 5, May Holidays: Chapter 176, Pizza Commission

The doorbell rang. Opening the door, I saw a smiling deliveryman in a uniform, holding a flat, square box. "Hello, here's your pizza."

Pizza? I didn't order pizza.

"... Mr Shinonome from number 23?" The deliveryman confirmed the address. "If it's you, this is the double pineapple pizza you just ordered."

"How could I possibly order a pineapple pizza? A double one, no less?" The man waved his hand impatiently. "The address is right, but my name is Matsuda, who's Shinonome?!"

"I'm Shinonome." Dong Yunshan pushed open the bathroom door, washed his hands, and walked through the living room to the doorway under Matsuda's astonished gaze. He took the pizza box from the deliveryman, handed him the money, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"Enjoy your meal." The deliveryman took the money and turned to leave.

"Who are you?" Matsuda stared at Dong Yunshan.

"I just introduced myself." Dong Yunshan returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, put down the pizza, and waved to Matsuda. "Why are you so reserved? Come and sit down, make yourself at home."

"This is my home!" Matsuda approached angrily, but calmed down slightly when he saw the clear outline of Dong Yunshan's tight-fitting T-shirt. "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

"Shinonome." Dong Yunshan opened the pizza box, picked up a slice, and took a big bite. "Come and eat some pizza."

"Are you kidding me?" Matsuda's eyes blazed with anger as he grabbed the fruit knife beside him. "What are you doing?!"

"You can't grip it like that," Dong Yunshan instructed, shaking her fingers as she ate her pizza. "A reverse grip gives you more leverage, and you should use your thumb to hold the handle to avoid cutting yourself. Then aim at this..."

Dong Yunshan pointed to her chest.

Matsuda stared at him warily. "You... mentally..."

"It's normal, I have a doctor's certificate." Dong Yunshan finished a slice of pizza in a few bites, wiped his hands, grabbed Matsuda's wrist, and pointed the tip of the fruit knife in Matsuda's hand at his own chest. "I'll give you a chance."

"You..." Matsuda struggled back, "What are you going to do?"

"Don't be afraid, it'll be quick." Dong Yunshan grabbed his wrist, the sharp tip of the knife dangling in front of his chest. "Thud! One stab, and my life is yours. I'll count to three, just three."

"You're a madman..." A look of terror appeared in Matsuda's eyes.

"One."

"I don't know you at all..." Matsuda racked his brains but couldn't recall any conflict between himself and this madman.

"Two."

"Let go of me!" Matsuda felt as if his wrists were being gripped tightly by iron clamps.

"Three!"

With a slight tightening of his fingers, Dong Yunshan made Matsuda lose his grip on the fruit knife.

Before the fruit knife even hit the ground, Dong Yunshan gripped it tightly.

"I gave you a chance, but you were useless..." Dong Yunshan patted Matsuda's face with the cold blade of her sword. "I gave you a chance, but you were useless!"

Matsuda clenched his fists in silence.

"Don't blame me, I've given you a chance. Now I have a small request..." Dong Yunshan pointed to the floor, "Kneel down and call me 'Master,' and I'll let you go."

Veins bulged on Matsuda's forehead. Kneeling was no problem for him, but calling him "Master"...

"What, you're not giving me face?" Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "I'll count to three, and if you don't kneel down and call me 'Master,' I'll stab you to death."

"You..."

Dong Yunshan gripped the fruit knife in reverse, "One."

"I would never..."

Dong Yunshan, expressionless, pointed the tip of his knife at Matsuda's stomach. "Two."

Thump!

Matsuda knelt down. "Master!"

"Good boy, get up." Dong Yunshan put down the fruit knife, her smile kind. "Want some pizza?"

Matsuda swallowed hard. "I... I'm not hungry..."

Do you know why I contacted you?

Matsuda shook his head blankly.

"Do you remember the person you harassed yesterday?" Dong Yunshan reminded him.

"The one who harassed me yesterday..." Matsuda's face stiffened. "Which one?"
