Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Dong Yunshan took his first sip of the drink at this time. As the sunset entered his throat, he frowned slightly, looked at the drink in confusion, and took another sip.

"It's already late..." Hikigaya Komachi tugged at Yuigahama Yui's clothes, "Let's go back today."

Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyes slightly: "...Okay."

After taking out the money and putting it on the bar, Yukinoshita Yukino got up and left.

Dong Yunshan took another sip and asked, "Did you add oolong tea?"

"Smoked oolong tea," Kawasaki Saki corrected. "It simulates the smell of dust."

"It tastes pretty good." Dong Yunshan took out his wallet.

Kawasaki Saki shook the banknotes in her hand: "I have already paid."

-

"Actually, what Kawasaki-san said is not wrong. After all, this is her family's business and her own business." Hikigaya Komachi bit the straw of her Coke. "So it's not easy for us to say anything, especially when she's so resistant."

"Kawasaki-san doesn't want to communicate with us at all..." Yuigahama Yui sighed deeply, "What should I do..."

"Family matters should be handled by the family after all." Hikigaya Komachi came up with a good idea. "Since we already know where she works, let her brother talk to her about the rest."

"But didn't they talk about it before?" Yuigahama Yui was puzzled. "It never came to any conclusion...I don't think it will be any different this time."

"Before, it was just a conversation between them." Hikigaya Komachi was very experienced in this area. "If siblings don't want to talk, there are many ways to evade the conversation. You can even just walk away and end the conversation unilaterally."

"But with an observer here, the situation is different." Yukinoshita Yukino pondered, "With us present, we can render most of their deceptions ineffective, allowing them to communicate effectively."

So...just get up early and block Saki Kawasaki on her way home from work.

Dong Yunshan yawned and waved to the tired-looking Kawasaki Saki: "Kawasaki, this way!"

"......" Kawasaki Saki's face showed obvious irritation, "What are you going to do now?"

Dong Yunshan pointed to the McDonald's where everyone was and said, "Come in and have a seat."

Saki Kawasaki: “That’s not necessary.”

Dong Yunshan: "Your brother is here too."

"..." Saki Kawasaki clicked her tongue and followed Azuma Yunshan into McDonald's.

"Dazhi..." Seeing her brother in the store, Kawasaki Saki sighed deeply, "What are you doing here at this hour?"

"I'm waiting for my sister." Kawasaki Daishi frowned, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"It has nothing to do with you..." Saki Kawasaki avoided her brother's sight.

"What's the difference?" Kawasaki Daishi refused to give in. "We are a family."

"...Didn't I tell you," Kawasaki Saki's expression became stern, "that you don't need to know?"

Kawasaki Daishi's expression froze, and he opened and closed his mouth, but no sound came out.

Communication at home basically ends here.

"She means to sever the sibling relationship with you." Dong Yunshan explained considerately, "Then her business will be her business, and your business will be your business."

Kawasaki Daishi's voice was hoarse: "Sister?"

"That's not what I meant!" Kawasaki Saki glared at Dong Yunshan, "I... I am..."

Her momentum weakened, but she still had no intention of speaking out loud.

Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly spoke up: "You want to go to college, right?"

Sobu Senior High School is a high school with a high admission rate.

More serious students will probably start preparing for college entrance exams during the summer vacation of their second year of high school, and during the first semester they will consider which cram school to attend.

Sasaki University in Tsudanuma, Kawaijuku Genyekan in Nishichiba, Toshin Cram School in Inagekaigan...are not cheap.

Moreover, it's not just Saki Kawasaki who needs tutoring.

There is also Daishi Kawasaki, who is in the third year of junior high and preparing to take the high school entrance exam.

According to Daishi Kawasaki's story, Saki Kawasaki became a bad girl when she was in her second year of high school.

Saki Kawasaki, who wants to reduce the burden on her family, believes that once her younger brother enters the third year of junior high school, she will need to work hard.

Volume 6: Chapter 214 Worry about Understanding

Although the previous communication ended unpleasantly, it was not without gain.

"For someone like you who has no worries about food and clothing, there's no need to pretend to understand me—after all, we both know it's fake."

Just think about this sentence in reverse.

Saki Kawasaki is not a bad person, she is just working hard.

Those seemingly bad behaviors all stem from the fatigue brought by work.

I work for money, and as for why I need money...

Saki Kawasaki started working part-time in her second year of high school. So compared to before, what major expenses did the family have to bear?

cram school.

Yukinoshita Yukino, who has no worries about food and drink, doesn't worry at all about whether her cram school attendance will be a burden to her family.

Try to think about problems that you don’t know how to think about, and you will find answers to problems that you don’t understand.

"You don't want to increase the financial burden on your family, so you work part-time to earn money." Yukinoshita Yukino stared at Saki Kawasaki, "But you can't tell your family about this, because it will increase their psychological burden."

"It's all because of me..." Kawasaki Daishi drooped his shoulders weakly, "It's all because I have tutoring..."

Kawasaki Saki patted his head gently: "...So I told you everything, you don't need to know."

"I won't make up for it!" Kawasaki Daishi raised his head, "If I rely on my own efforts..."

"Idiot!" Saki Kawasaki's comforting pat turned into a knife-like hand.

"Even if you don't tutor her, she'll still keep working," Yukinoshita Yukino pointed out pointedly, "Because she's not busy with current problems, but worried about future ones. This incident... is a warning to her."

Now Saki Kawasaki is in her second year of high school and her younger brother is in his third year of junior high school. They both need tutoring, which requires the family to spend a lot of money at once.

So...what about when Saki Kawasaki goes to college and her younger brother is in his second year of high school?

There will be a bigger expenditure.

Saki Kawasaki wants to prepare for the future while there is still time.

"...I take it back." Kawasaki Saki gave Yukinoshita Yukino a deep look, "I underestimated your ability to understand."

"If you take back what you said, I won't understand your thoughts." Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips, "But that doesn't mean your thoughts are correct."

Saki Kawasaki looked away, not wanting to argue with her.

"Working part-time to earn money for cram school affects your sleep and sleep schedule, which leads to lower study efficiency and poorer grades. Then you use the money you earn from working to attend cram school to improve your grades..." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed softly, "If you use the time you earn from working directly to study, your grades will be better, you won't have to work so hard, and you won't have to worry about the cost."

Kawasaki Saki frowned: "What?"

"Ah!" Yuigahama Yui exclaimed, "It's that, the cram school activity."

In order to attract students, many cram schools have launched their own activities.

Among them, there are activities that refer to the scholarship system and provide comprehensive tuition fees for students with outstanding academic performance.

After all, students who perform well in cram schools will not perform too badly in exams.

If there is a student with exceptionally good grades, other students will spontaneously go to the cram school that the student attended without the student even asking for permission.

The scholarships given out will be earned back many times over.

"So, as long as I get a scholarship for the cram school, I won't have to worry about tuition." Yukinoshita Yukino explained her plan, "As long as I get a scholarship for university, I won't have to worry about tuition either."

Kawasaki Saki muttered softly: "How can it be that easy..."

"Of course it's not easy. Only those who work hard can do it." Yukinoshita Yukino stared intently, "So you want to join? The reading club of the service club."

Kawasaki Saki's eyes moved slightly.

Yukinoshita Yukino, the top student in the grade.

There is also Dong Yunshan, who hardly attended classes in the first grade but still achieved grades in the upper-middle range.

Although there had been no contact before, Saki Kawasaki had heard of both of them.

If I study with them, maybe I can really...

"Um...can you listen to me for a few words?" Hikigaya Komachi suddenly spoke.

Saki Kawasaki silently turned her gaze away, waiting for her next words.

"The Komachi family also has a younger brother. Since it's a dual-income family, when I get home from school, Mom and Dad aren't home yet, so it's just me and my brother. We have to handle a lot of things on our own." Hikigaya Komachi's eyes were distant. "Because I'm the older sister, when I encounter a problem, I always want to handle it myself. There are always things that I can't solve myself, but I don't want my brother to worry, so I just deal with it alone."

Saki Kawasaki looked at Hikigaya Komachi with a much more intimate gaze.

"Just when I was feeling upset, my brother insisted on dragging me on and on about those chuunibyou settings," Hikigaya Komachi's cheeks puffed up slightly. "At first, I wanted to be a good sister, but who can stand being like that all the time? So, I said something really extreme."

Hikigaya Komachi twirled her drink and spoke softly, "Later, when I apologized to him, I realized that even when I was upset, he was worried about me. He wanted to tell me his secrets, so I would tell him the secrets that upset me."

Kawasaki Saki bit her lower lip lightly: "What do you want to say?"

"What I'm saying is... if your family is worried about something you tell them, they'll still worry if you don't tell them—that's what family is." Hikigaya Komachi said with a sincere look. "Since the outcome is the same, it's better to be honest. We're family after all. Brothers and sisters should be more willing to face known problems with their sister than for her to face the unknown alone."

This sentence of Komachi has a high score~

This thought came to Dong Yunshan's mind, but he didn't say it out loud as usual.

"I..." Kawasaki Daishi blushed, "That's what I thought."

Saki Kawasaki touched her brother's head, and a gentle smile appeared on her tired face.

Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino again, Kawasaki Saki asked: "Why are you helping me?"

"The purpose of the Servant Club is to teach people how to fish." Yukinoshita Yukino repeated what she had said before, "Anyone who strives to become a better person should be helped."

When she heard the same sentence again, Saki Kawasaki had a different feeling.

"And..." Dong Yunshan added, "The Sunset Rollercoaster you made is really delicious, especially the addition of smoked oolong tea, which is the finishing touch."

"And reading together is really fun!" Yuigahama Yui recalled, "It really improves your logical reasoning skills!"

Kawasaki Saki: "...?"

Volume 6: Chapter 215: The Winner

There was still a chill in the early morning air.

The Kawasaki siblings walked further and further away, talking about something and laughing from time to time.

The distance between them was neither far nor close, but if one of them found that he was walking too fast, he would slow down.

The one who walks slowly will also take two quick steps to catch up.

"That's the feeling of what it means to be brothers and sisters..." Yukinoshita Yukino murmured softly.

Dong Yunshan tilted his head: "Not necessarily..."

Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyes slightly: "Yeah..."

Dong Yunshan: "My sister can't walk yet."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

"My home feels different too." Hikigaya Komachi yawned. "He rarely goes out."

"Ah!" Yuigahama Yui suddenly realized, "I'm the only one who doesn't have any brothers or sisters... I'm so envious!"

Dong Yunshan chuckled: "If you really have it, you will envy others."

Yuigahama Yui wanted to argue, but she turned the words around and thought about it carefully: "...It seems possible."

"Let's go back too." Yukinoshita Yukino's mouth twitched, "We have to go to school in three hours."

This place is closer to Yukinoshita Yukino's apartment, and Yuigahama Yui was worried that she wouldn't be able to get up, so she stayed overnight in the apartment.

Dong Yunshan had to wait for someone outside, so he went home to get some clothes and came over after resting.

Hikigaya Komachi was worried about her younger brother at home, so she also went home and came with Azuma Yunshan in the morning.

There are only a few hours left before school starts, and if I go home, there will be even less time left.
