Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Chapter 1053 Hiratsuka Shizuka, who cannot be let go

Sakura Yamauchi's amber-like eyes darted around, her clever little mind racing, and she quickly made a decision—

We absolutely cannot let Yukino be in charge of the sports festival invitations!

Without her, I would never be as happy as I am now!

I can't build a secret hut at the top of the gate and secretly throw candy down during the sports festival; I can't secretly write my and Kyosuke's names on the curtain with darker paint; I can't dance the night dance with Kyosuke in front of everyone; I can't shout "Go Kyosuke!" like a madman; I can't...

Do not! ! !
I absolutely will not allow such a thing to happen!

Sakura Yamauchi suddenly stood up, and the potato chips on her lap fell to the ground.

"Chief Assistant Yukinoshita!"

Her face was serious, her tone stern, and for a moment she exuded an air of authority, which shocked Yuihama, Nishimiya Shoko, and the others standing beside her.

Only Yukino Yukinoshita remained expressionless, even raising her arms to cross her chest, looking at Sakura with an expression that said, "You can begin your performance now."

"Why do you think I entrusted the position of Chief of Staff to you?!"

Sakura Yamauchi questioned.

Yukino said expressionlessly, "Because you want me to be your slave."

"Besides this?!"

Sakura Yamauchi asked again, her expression still serious.

"Because you're not good at management and organization, while I'm very good at it."

"Besides this?"

"Because you want to leave everything to me so I can have fun all by myself."

"Besides this?"

"..."

The back-and-forth between the two left Yui Yuigahama and the other members of the curtain crew completely dumbfounded.

Especially for Yui, Sakura's shameless and self-righteous attitude had a huge impact on her young mind. She really treated Yukinoshita like a demon.

She quietly turned her head and found that Hojo wasn't watching the gossip as usual, but was instead constantly operating her phone.

The captain and the assistant chief's argument lasted for about three minutes, until finally, Sakura Yamauchi looked at Yukino with utter disappointment and said weakly:

"I entrusted you with such an important position as Assistant Commander because I saw your potential, Yukino, and wanted you to become a better version of yourself!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, not only Yuihama, but even Yukino was momentarily stunned.

Only Sakura Yamauchi's face grew increasingly sorrowful, her eyes filled with grief as she looked at Nakama, whom she had once been close to.

"Hey, Yukino, let me ask you... you're someone who likes everything to be perfect, right?"

she asked in a low voice.

For the first time, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression turned somber.

"Hey, Yukino, let me ask you... are you the kind of person who likes to give up halfway and leave the mess to others?"

Sakura asked in a low voice.

"..."

Yukino's face darkened again, but she remained silent. This was a complete denial of her hard work!
The girl complained unhappily, "It's not a mess! I've arranged almost everything. You just need to follow the steps and supervise the process..."

"So, you want to abandon this halfway and hand over this mess that might not be so bad..."

"Hey! That's enough! I've already told you this isn't some kind of stall, it's a train already on the right track, all you need to do is..."

"So! Yukino!"

Sakura Yamauchi's beautiful almond-shaped eyes widened suddenly, her aura intensifying, and she shouted:
"How can you be sure that after you take charge of the sports festival invitations, you won't abandon it again because of other things, leaving behind another mess?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's pale blue eyes were filled with helplessness and speechlessness. She glanced at someone and had already seen through their scheme.

"You think everyone in the world is as lazy as you? Hey, over there I am..."

"answer me!"

Sakura Yamauchi shouted, his face stern:
"Look me in the eyes! Tell me, can you promise me? You won't abandon that mission again, just like you betrayed me?!"

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head limply to one side and exhaled a breath of stale air.

Sakura is completely manipulating me in a way that's like a gentleman deceiving me. Of course, she's confident she can handle things well, but she can't guarantee that there won't be any unforeseen circumstances that force her to abandon what she's doing there.

Therefore, the answer is yes:

"No."

She said helplessly that she always felt something was wrong when she spoke.

"Very good~"

Sakura Yamauchi nodded her chin in satisfaction, her amber eyes instantly sparkling with joy.

"So, what you should do now is, as the assistant captain of the Red Team, lead your teammates to enjoy this sports festival and bring it to a perfect close!"

After saying that, she suddenly took two steps forward, almost touching Yukinoshita's face, and then whispered furtively:
"Yoshino will be coming to the sports festival this year! As far as I know, she's never been a team leader at a sports festival before. If she sees that you, Yukino, have managed to do something so difficult so perfectly, she'll be absolutely shocked!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura took a step back, clenched her fist tightly, and gave a fierce, encouraging look.

"..."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at the idiot in front of her with a complicated expression. She finally realized that something was wrong.

This is the second time she's experienced something like this today!
Although the specific words were different, wasn't that unscrupulous teacher named Hiratsuka Shizuka doing the same thing to herself in the Service Club's activity room just over ten minutes ago?

Oh no, in my eyes they are idiots, but in their eyes I am probably the biggest idiot.

Yukino suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, as if she were about to vomit blood.

She raised her hand, her index finger trembling as she pointed at Sakura Yamauchi.

You, you...

Sakura raised her hand, firmly grasped those slender fingers, and said sincerely:
"You're welcome, because... we're Nakama! There's a bond between us that even Taiyo envies and is jealous of!"

No! I don't want to!
Yukino Yukinoshita looked terrified and tried to pull her hand back as if to avoid some kind of contaminant.

Nakama, bonds, whatever! Stay away from me!

But there was nothing she could do; that despicable guy on the other side secretly twisted her fingers upwards, and if she struggled any further, she would feel pain.

Yukino's gaze towards Sakura shifted from fear to disbelief. This guy...

Are you even human?!

Fortunately, Sakura Yamauchi wasn't entirely inhuman. After confirming that her good ox wouldn't run away, she turned around and swung her high ponytail, hitting the black-haired girl in the face, looking quite dashing.

"a!"

She blinked her big, bright eyes at someone, not saying a word, just staring like a puppy.

Kyosuke Hojo had already put his phone back in his pocket by then. Hearing this, he looked up and gave an OK sign.

"It's done!"

He grinned, displaying the charisma of the all-powerful Hojo Machine God.

Then, looking at Yukinoshita, he comforted her:

"Don't worry, Yukino. Now you can focus on the Red Team's affairs, and you'll soon be able to accomplish a feat that Haruno can never surpass!"

Familiar words, familiar routines...

Yukino Yukinoshita gritted her teeth, her anger barely contained, and roared:

"Damn it! My older sister has already graduated from high school, of course she can't surpass me! How long are you guys going to use my sister as an excuse?! Stop it already!!"

After saying that, she abruptly shook off Yamauchi Sakura's hand, turned around angrily, and stormed off.

"Shoes! Yukino, you forgot to wear your shoes! Shoes!"

The loyal Red Team captain shouted as he picked up his shoes from under the snow and chased after them.

Hearing the shout, the black-haired girl walked even faster.

Then Yui Yuigahama, who remained where she was, saw it.

Sakura followed along eagerly, wanting to go over and say something to Yukinoshita, but was immediately pushed away with obvious disgust. In the distance, the two of them could still be heard talking.

"Don't put your shoes on my face!"

"Don't help me! Can't you tell left from right?!"

"Wait a minute...why aren't you wearing shoes?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was full of helplessness and shock, followed by Sakura Yamauchi's clear laughter.

"Of course, it's because I was afraid my lovely subordinate's delicate little feet would get hurt! I was so worried that I didn't even have time to put on my shoes before running over!"

"Huh? Huh!!!"

"Yukino, your face is so red! Is it because you're happy thinking about how you'll shock Taiyo-no out of her wits?"

"Hehehe, you're so cute, Yukino~~ Come here and let me hug you."

Just hearing that voice conjures up the image of Sakura Yamauchi's cheeky, roguish face.

Yui Yuigahama herself didn't realize that she had developed a maternal smile on her face at some point.

While she was lost in thought, she saw the slender figure with cascading black hair in the distance suddenly stop, then turn around and walk hurriedly toward her.

In less than two seconds, Yukino Yukinoshita was back by the curtain. She bent down and looked around, finding Sakura Yamauchi's shoes in just half a second. Then, she picked up the shoes and hurriedly turned away.

Then, in the distance, Sakura Yamauchi's voice rang out again.

"Hey hey hey hey? Yukino, why didn't you help me get dressed? I did help you..."

"Put it on yourself! I'm not your mother! Besides, you didn't help me put it on just now, so I refused! I refused!"

"Not just Mom, Kyosuke helps me get dressed too!"

"Then go back and find him!"

"..."

The two of them walked faster and faster after putting on their shoes, but actually it was Yukinoshita who wanted to escape and Sakura kept chasing after her, and the two of them started running as they walked.

Yui Yuigahama stood on tiptoe and craned her neck to make sure she could no longer see the two of them before reluctantly looking away.

"Sakura and Yukinoshita are such good friends!"

She said enviously, "Although they seem to be bickering, I can feel their genuine friendship! Especially when Yukinoshita breaks down."

Turning around, she found that Shoko and Hojo had already sat down and were whispering to each other.

Your friendship is so genuine. If it's possible, could I join in?
She pursed her lips, sat down, and asked curiously:

"Hojo-kun, are you going to take charge of the sports festival invitations next?"

Yui was a little reluctant to part with him. Although Hojo spent most of his time talking to Shoko when he came to the choreography group, she could still see him and talk to him under the pretext of asking him for advice.

Kyosuke Hojo, who was smiling and talking to Shoko, was taken aback and turned around, asking curiously:

"Yui, why would you think that? Do you think I'm some kind of hardworking person?"

of course not!

Yuihama shook her head inwardly, then subconsciously the images of Yukino Yukinoshita and Shizuka Hirazuka came to mind. If we're talking about being diligent, these two are the ones who should be.

"So...?" she asked, puzzled.

"Of course, I'll leave it to someone else! Professionals should do professional things—that's my life motto!"

Kyosuke Hojo grinned, revealing eight gleaming teeth.

"Is that Kisaki-kun?"

Yui Yuigahama shouted excitedly, only realizing afterward that her voice sounded a bit shrill.

She didn't know why she was so happy. Maybe it was the excitement of witnessing an urban legend firsthand? She had heard Hatake Goro and the others talk about how busy Hojo-kun's top subordinate, Kisaki Tetsuta, was before, and now she had finally seen it for herself.

Kyosuke Hojo looked at the girl with the bun hairstyle with surprise, then smiled and nodded in response to her expectant gaze: "That's right, Kisaki will handle it, he's an expert!"

"Hehe~ I knew it! I knew it!"

Yui smiled happily, then felt a pang of pity, thinking that Kisaki, who had been very active in the preparations for the sports festival these past few days, was probably going to disappear again.

"So, when Yukinoshita was still around, Hojo, you were using your phone...?"

"That's right!"

Kyosuke Hojo readily agreed. He had foreseen the outcome when Yukino approached Sakura, and as a non-stick pan, he naturally had to throw her off immediately.

Sakura wants to play, and he wants to play too, so it's just a tough time for Kisaki.

Kind-hearted Shoko silently prayed for Tetsuta Kisaki for two minutes.

'My God, please bless Kisaki with good health and abundant energy, so that she can fully utilize her intelligence to complete her work!'

This way, my Kyosuke will have more time to spend with me~~~
The girl quickly forgot all about it, happily picked up her giant paintbrush, and smiled sweetly, acting all cute.

"Kyosuke-kun~~ I can't draw this well by myself~"

"Hmm, let me see, it really is difficult!"

As he said this, he stood up and walked behind Nishimiya Shoko. He hugged the girl and grabbed a paintbrush. The two of them began to paint, oblivious to everyone else.

Yui Yuigahama: ()
I'm so full, I really can't eat any more!
On the other side, Tetsuta Hikisaki, wearing a red headband, raised his phone high, about to smash it. His fellow cheerleaders quickly stopped him and asked with concern:

"What's wrong? Kisaki, you've looked gloomy ever since you saw the message. If you need any help, just let us know."

Upon hearing these words, the dark cloud on the face of Shizaki Tetsuta, who had been ashen-faced, instantly dissipated.

He put his hand down, thanked his friend next to him, then unlocked his phone and made a call:
"Hello? Is this Yasukawa Yu? Yes, I have a task for you."

...Incompetent? If you can't even handle this small matter, how can you expect to improve? How can Hojo-kun and I entrust you with more important tasks?

Okay, I'll send the relevant materials to your email address. Please complete it as soon as possible.

After hanging up the phone, Tetsuta Kisaki still had an incredibly bright smile on his face.

He waved his cheering props as he walked into the group and shouted, "Keep dancing, don't stop the music!"

Meanwhile, in the student council office.

Eager to improve, An Chuanyu stared blankly at the documents in his email.

Me? An insignificant student council member, responsible for representing Soubu High School to invite people from all walks of life to visit the sports festival?
Me? Really?
He buried his head in his books for a long time, feeling that all the people on the list needed to be invited. But when he counted on his fingers, he realized that the number of people to be invited was more than ten times the number of students in the entire school. Anyone with a brain would know that this was definitely not going to work.

After racking his brains for a long time, he walked into the student council president's office with his phone in hand.

five minutes later.

"...So, Yasukawa, you received this important task, which even the student council isn't qualified to handle, through some channel that I can't tell you about."

"Yes, President, you have excellent insight."

"Um... and because you're not capable enough, you're now hoping I can gather the student council members to get this done?"

"Yes! This is a great opportunity to expand the student council's influence, President!"

The third-year student council president looked at the candidates with their glittering titles on her phone and felt a chill run down her spine.

Ten minutes later
The head of student affairs, who was enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea in his office, looked at the two students in front of him with a completely bewildered expression.

"...So, you received this through some channel that you can't tell me about..."

Another five minutes later.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Damn it! I was planning to go drink with Miki and Yukino today! Is it so hard to slack off!?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka clutched her head in frustration and roared in despair.

What happened? Why did such a perfect plan fail?!

There's no reason for it! That idiot Yukino should be absolutely unable to resist the temptation of surpassing Haruno!

Jing Ke'ai was completely baffled.

In fact, she was right. At this moment, in a classroom on the fourth floor of the club building.

A slender figure with flowing black hair is staring at a laptop screen, seemingly focused on her work, but the cursor that hasn't moved for a long time tells you that she's daydreaming!

'Hehe... Sister... Hehe...'

'If my sister were still in school, she'd have to obey my orders now...hehe, hehe, hehehe—'

Unconsciously, the girl's lips curled up higher and higher, and even glistening saliva dripped out.

suck-

As school board members, Mom and Dad will definitely be invited, and my sister will come too.

Ah... Although I don't want that idiot Sakura to get her way, I must do things perfectly so that Father and Mother can see my abilities and know that I am absolutely capable of inheriting the family's territory!

Keep trying! Keep trying! Keep trying!

Thinking of her mother's pickiness and strictness, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly woke up from her reverie.

Her breathing became slightly heavier, and the girl raised her hand and slapped her cheeks repeatedly before starting the next step of her work with renewed energy.
