Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Immersed in her inner world, Yukinoshita Yukino kept perfecting her experimental plan. Sometimes she was delighted that her "human mind control technique" was about to be perfected and her face was full of joy. Sometimes she thought of the difficulties that might be encountered during the experiment and her eyes were serious and fierce.

The three older sisters at the table watched with great fascination this wonderful change of expressions. When Yukino came back to her senses with a look of satisfaction, she saw three pairs of eyes staring at her. Their eyes were filled with "This is fun, change another one."

The girl opened her mouth to say something, but suddenly realized that if she said something like "The Art of Controlling People's Minds", her sisters would never understand what a great skill it was, and would instead laugh at her for being childish or having a second-year syndrome. The most hateful thing was that her sister was actually the master of "The Art of Controlling People's Minds", and she would definitely laugh the loudest.

In the end, she just frowned, sat there angrily and stopped talking.

"Hahahaha~~"

The belated laughter finally sounded, and Yukinoshita Yukino closed her eyes in some pain. Yes, no matter how she responded, she couldn't stop her sister from having fun.

It's like looking at a kitten. She thinks it's cute when the kitten hunches over and its fur stands up and makes a threatening sound. She thinks it's cute when the kitten lies on its belly and twists around on the ground. She thinks it's cute when the kitten buries its head in eating.

She had the illusion that in her sister's eyes, she was probably, perhaps, possibly, also a little kitten.

It's not because she's cute, but because she's so weak that she looks cute no matter what she does.

Just like her mother, no matter whether her sister stays out all night or simply goes abroad to play with her friends without saying a word, when her sister laughs dryly and says sorry, she always has an expression that says "I really can't do anything about you."

Yukinoshita knew very well that it was not because her mother doted on her sister. Strictly speaking, no one was more doting than her mother. It was because her mother was confident that no matter how her sister resisted, she would not be able to escape her control. The trajectory of her sister's life had not changed since she was given the surname "Yukinoshita".

The girl had a very deep understanding of this. Although she was not the heir valued by her mother, she had tried.

After her sister was taken to the party, she asked to go with them. Her father and sister felt sorry for her and told her that it was not fun and boring. However, she ignored the father and daughter who had no say in the matter and stared at her mother.

The mother was stunned at first and then a smile appeared on her face that said "I really can't do anything about you", as if she understood everything and was very tolerant.

She studied hard, begged her family to enroll her in cram schools, and imitated her sister and mother, learning everything that could make her stronger. Her mother always agreed with a smile, the kind of smile that said, "I really can't do anything about you."

At first she was very happy, thinking that her name was finally included in her mother's plan for the future of the Yukinoshita family. Her sister would no longer have to work so hard, and she could also inherit her father's career.

But she soon found out that she was wrong. Her mother did not reduce her expectations of her sister because of her efforts, and her sister did not work harder because of her efforts to catch up.

She is like the snow on a snowy day, natural and insignificant. She will never be as dazzling as the sunshine after the snow.

She guessed that even if she told her mother directly that she wanted to replace her sister and inherit the family business, her mother might agree after being surprised, and might even say a word or two of encouragement to her with a smile, but that smile would definitely be a smile of "I really can't do anything about you."

It was a feeling of powerlessness where one didn't even know how to fight back, as if one was trapped in the deepest darkness and couldn't grab anything no matter how hard one tried, and couldn't move forward, backward, left or right.

Yukinoshita never resented her sister, nor did she have thoughts like in the melodramatic plots on TV dramas, "You were only born a few years earlier than me, and yet you took away all my things", because as a younger sister, she knew her sister's pain better than anyone else, and she knew that if she were in her sister's position, she would never be able to do better than her.

My sister's every move is in her mother's eyes.
It would be difficult for an outsider to judge which of these two completely different situations is more suffocating. Only the sisters are qualified to make that judgment.

My elder sister has never said a word of complaint, and even when she teased me, it was only because she loved her from the bottom of her heart and she did it without any malice.

It goes without saying that her sister is better than herself in terms of her control over worldly affairs, her ability to handle relationships with anyone, her academic ability, her affinity, etc. The fact that she can live so freely and happily under the heavy pressure of her mother is enough to make Yukinoshita admire her. As a younger sister who "does not need to inherit the Yukinoshita family so she can do whatever she wants", she still dares not disobey her mother's wishes. Seeing her mother's face darken, she will even be frightened to the point of cardiac arrest.

And my sister...

She had no doubt that if her sister had not been afraid that her mother would focus her attention on her after running away from home, she would have run away long ago, directly wasting her mother's years of hard work.

Her elder sister was capable of doing such a thing. She even seemed to hear the unbridled laughter in the videotape left by her runaway sister.

She doesn't want to tell anyone, but in fact, Yukinoshita Yukino loves her sister the most.

She wanted to catch up with her sister and surpass her in her own way.

"Hello? Yukino-chan? Wake up, hey—"

The call from ancient times woke the girl from her thoughts. Before her soul completely returned to her body, she subconsciously said:

"Sister, you are so annoying!"

When Yukinoshita Haruno heard this, her mouth pouted and she cried out in grievance. Of course, she did not forget to rub against her sister while crying.

Yukino pushed her sister's face with her little hands with a look of disgust on her face. The two sisters had a very happy intimate time.

Yukino Momoka and Okudera Miki on the opposite side watched the scene calmly, occasionally raising their wine glasses to clink them together.

"Miki, what if Xiaojing drinks too much and hugs Yang No and cries?"

Yukino asked quietly, and this instantly silenced Miki Okudera.

When the drunkard Shizuka Hiratsuka likes to hug someone and act like a spoiled child, usually the person being hugged is Haruno. Because Yukino can drink the best and doesn't get drunk and runs away quickly, while Miki needs to take care of the drunkard, only Haruno can't run away.

When Xiaojing arrives, it might be that Yangno is crying while hugging Xueno, and Xiaojing is crying while hugging Yangno. The scene is so beautiful that I dare not even imagine it.

"In fact, it could also be that Jing and Yang Noi hugged Yukino and cried together. Do you think she is suitable for hugging?"

A voice suddenly sounded, and Yukino and Miki subconsciously looked across.

No matter how Yang Noi rubbed her, Xue Noi remained calm and motionless like the earth. Her pretty face showed no emotion. Just chanting "Amitabha" could directly send a drunkard to reincarnation. She was indeed very suitable for dealing with drunkards!

"As expected of Hojo-kun."

Yukino sincerely admired that Hojo-kun always found a way, he was always omnipotent.

Yes, it is a monotheistic religion after all, and one person’s God must be omniscient and omnipotent.

The classical beauty who seemed to have walked out of an ink painting and was laughing softly was quite interesting.

The person who came was naturally Hojo Kyosuke. He almost laughed to death when he saw Yukino's helpless look. Haruno was unbeatable in tormenting her sister. He believed that if Hui's sister was like Haruno, Hui would not be able to calm down even if she recited the Qingxin Jue ten thousand times.

The pale girl will become a miserable girl, and maybe she will go from being ignored everywhere to having a low pressure wherever she goes.

Yukino has been tortured for so many years but can still remain so normal. The word "superman" is not enough to describe her.

"Kyosuke, Eriri, you're here."

Miki Okudera stood up and greeted them with a smile, while moving to make room for the two of them.

In a good mood, Eriri called out everyone's names one by one, swiftly took off her clogs and was about to climb onto the tatami, but immediately turned around and placed the clogs side by side neatly, with the heads of the clogs level without a millimeter of error.

No wonder my mother liked Eriri so much at the awards ceremony that day...

Yukinoshita Yukino, who noticed this scene, sighed in her heart and had a little more respect for Eriri. She thought that if this guy was born in her own family, she might become a person as powerful as her sister.

Hojo Kyosuke was arranged to sit facing the window. Originally, Eriri wanted him to sit in the only place with his back to the window where he couldn't see the view, so that she could pretend to look at the scenery outside the window and then peek at him. But unfortunately, with that guy's height, he blocked the entire window when he sat there.

There was no other way, Eriri-sama had to sit with her back to the window, so that the stupid chores could admire her cuteness while looking at the scenery outside~~
With Eriri present, Yangno let her sister go and asked them why it took them so long to come over since they had already had two rounds of drinks.

Eriri became excited when this was mentioned, and immediately started chattering about the cat she and Kyosuke had just seen at the beach.

"…It was a big black cat, sitting on the edge of the sea, with the waves just reaching in front of it. It was not afraid at all, just lowered its head and looked at the waves quietly. I felt that it must be thinking about something very important. It was a smart cat. Even when it was disturbed by us and ran away, it was very powerful. It ran super fast, and it ran away like lightning!
Maybe it was a supernatural cat! Because I walked over and looked at the footprints it left in the sand, and they were unusually round. Normal cats definitely don’t have feet that round…”

Eriri was talking happily, and Yukinoshita was also listening happily. Her pair of big light blue eyes became brighter and brighter as she listened. They could be used as light bulbs or hung in the sky to replace the moon.

When the story finally came to an end, the black-haired girl hurriedly asked:
“Where are the photos?”

“T-photo…?”

Eriri hesitated with a guilty conscience, then quietly looked at Kyosuke across from her. Her mind was full of thoughts of turning into a cat in her next life and being raised by Kyosuke. She was so immersed in the joy of turning into a cat and lying in Kyosuke's arms that she had no time to take pictures.

She whispered, "I forgot to take the photo..."

Yukinoshita was shocked when she heard this, and the light in her eyes disappeared instantly.

Even though she knew that it was the freedom of others to take pictures or not, and that Eriri had no responsibility or obligation to take pictures for herself, the girl still couldn't help but say in disappointment:

"Such a smart, cool, handsome and cute little cat, and you actually...actually didn't take a photo?!"

Seeing Yukino's dejected look, Eriri, who was the best at empathy, immediately felt extremely guilty. She apologized first and then explained:
"It's all Kyousuke's fault! I told him to take the photo, but he insisted..."

You have to drag me and say things that make my heart beat faster and my face blush. How shameless!

Ah, indeed it is.

Hojo Kyosuke thought expressionlessly, then slowly took out his cell phone and said in a tone of "Yes, yes, you are right," "So after hearing Eriri-sama's instructions, I immediately turned on the camera on my cell phone and activated the video mode."

As soon as these words were spoken, Her Royal Highness the Princess frowned.

Huh? What the hell? You were talking to me like that, and you actually had the energy to record a cat!? Why didn't you record your confession to me?!
Yukinoshita didn't have time to observe humans at this time. She quickly took Hojo's phone and started watching cat videos.

As she watched, a motherly smile appeared on the girl's cold little face. Her split reaction shocked Eriri.

The video shot at night is actually not very clear. You can only see a black shadow of a cat squatting on the beach. What you can really see clearly is that the black cat was scared and ran away in panic. Even so, Yukinoshita was satisfied watching it.

After asking Hojo if she could share the video with her, Yukinoshita immediately forwarded it.

After she put down her phone contentedly, she said in a very serious tone:

"After seeing this cat, I will be nice to everyone today."

After saying that, she looked at the great hero Hojo Kyousuke and promised: "If Mr. Hiratsuka scolds you, I will help you bear all the anger."

She then looked at Eriri, the second hero, and said, "From today on, you are the number one painter in my mind. If you ever fight with Kasumigaoka in the future, I will help you subdue her."

Without waiting for the overjoyed Eriri to reply, she looked equally at Yukino-sensei and Miki-sister who were sharing the happiness with her. After thinking for a while, she didn't say anything. She decided that in the future, as long as the people who fought with them were not Sakura and Nozomi, she would help them.

"What about me? What about me! Yukino, you're sitting here tonight because I didn't tell Jing to come play with you. Otherwise, Hojo wouldn't have stopped by the beach on the way here. So, shouldn't I be the one who should be thanked the most?"

Yang Nai, who was deliberately ignored, shouted loudly in dissatisfaction.

No wonder, without you guys I would have found a chance to secretly take Kyousuke to the beach for a walk! If it weren't for you guys, it would have been a happy world for the two of us!

Ying Lili murmured in her heart, but was too timid to say it out loud. (End of this chapter)
