Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow: "It's not too late to change it to 19 now."

"Lilililil~" Yukinoshita Haruno made a face, "I won't change~"

Dong Yunshan shook his head helplessly.

Although their outward appearances are different, the inner stubbornness of Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukinoshita Yukino is exactly the same.

Volume 6: Chapter 229: Hesitant to Speak

Saki Kawasaki closed the book, walked to the table by the window, and made a drink with skillful hands.

The previous cheese strawberry already had a standard recipe, and Saki Kawasaki is trying a new type.

Combining the various teas and fruits brought back by Dong Yunshan, making different drinks, and selecting the best flavor has become her daily routine recently.

After school, I go to the service club, study, and ask Yukinoshita Yukino if I don’t understand something. When I get tired of studying, I mix drinks for a while. When I get tired of mixing drinks, I continue studying. When it’s time, I leave school to pick up my sister.

Saki Kawasaki has adapted to her new life on campus.

but......

It seems that some people are not used to it.

Saki Kawasaki turned her eyes slightly and looked at Yuigahama Yui who was fiddling with her mobile phone.

Leaning back in the chair with the phone in hand, he slumped over the table, squeezing his face flat, resting his chin on the book as he turned the pages...

In just a few minutes, Yuigahama Yui had changed several positions.

From time to time, his eyes would look in the direction of Yukinoshita Yukino.

He hesitated to speak several times.

Yukinoshita Yukino was just looking at the fashion magazine in her hand, concentrating... eh?

Saki Kawasaki recalled.

In the past, it seemed that Yukinoshita Yukino only read paperback editions.

A6 size, light and easy to carry, the contents are basically classic literature and academic works.

Why are you suddenly reading fashion magazines?

And he's watching so intently.

With a click, the door of the activity room was opened.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked over almost instantly.

Saki Kawasaki: “…” She doesn’t seem to be particularly focused.

"Teacher..." Yukinoshita Yukino reminded countless times, "Please knock on the door first."

Completely ignoring Yukinoshita Yukino's complaints, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced around the activity room: "You weren't here today... I thought you would figure it out on your own now - it seems I was too optimistic."

"Teacher," Yukinoshita Yukino asked bluntly, "What are you doing here?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't beat around the bush: "That boy Dongyun hasn't been in the activity room recently, right?"

Yuigahama Yui's eyes lit up, and she looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka with admiration.

Saki Kawasaki saw this and knew that Yuigahama Yui had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Yukinoshita Yukino's expression remained calm: "He's busy outside."

Hiratsuka Shizuka crossed her arms and leaned against the wall: "A high school student, is there something going on outside?"

"He's helping his friend prepare to open a shop." Yukinoshita Yukino raised her chin, "He got all this."

There is a pile of drink-making equipment on the table by the wall.

There is even a sealing machine.

Kawasaki Saki raised the cup she had just prepared and said, "Teacher, try it too."

Hiratsuka Shizuka perked up: "Add more wine?"

Kawasaki Saki was speechless for a moment: "...No."

After all, this is a high school. How could Saki Kawasaki be mixing cocktails here?

"Forget it then." Hiratsuka Shizuka lost interest. "He's just a high school student. Even if he helps someone open a shop, does he need to be busy all the time?"

-

"I'm a minor." Azuma Yunshan sipped his coffee and looked at Yukinoshita Haruno across from him. "Shouldn't you, an adult, handle these matters?"

"Even if I do it, you have to be present." Yukinoshita Haruno stuck out her tongue playfully, "Otherwise, if something goes wrong, what if you blame me for it?"

"As the eldest princess of Chiba's largest construction company..." Azuma Yunshan looked out the window. "Could there be any problems with renovations?"

"Of course I have." Yukinoshita Haruno pointed to the storefront under renovation outside the window. "I found so many stores for you, why did you choose this one across from Starbucks?"

"Store location selection is a key factor in determining business success or failure, requiring comprehensive consideration of factors such as foot traffic, target customer base, competitive environment, rental costs, and transportation accessibility." Dong Yunshan, vaguely recalling the days of making PowerPoint presentations, felt a wave of physical discomfort, but his speech became increasingly fluent. "The site selection process requires data-driven evaluation and analysis of foot traffic density and consumer interest, testing and verification to gauge market response, and monitoring future regional development, with advance planning... Starbucks has considered all of these issues."

"This will save us a lot of trouble." Yukinoshita Haruno tilted her head. "But you just mentioned the competitive environment, right?"

"Isn't the competitive environment good?" Dong Yunshan spread his hands. "If you open a store somewhere else, you'll have to compete with many other stores. But if you open a store across from Starbucks, you only have to compete with Starbucks."

"I've already decided on the address here according to your idea. The renovation is now progressing steadily..." Yukinoshita Haruno narrowed her eyes slightly, "I trust you very much."

"Starbucks' location selection logic overlaps greatly with ours, so wherever Starbucks opens, we'll open there," Dong Yunshan paused. "As for the competition... opening a beverage shop across from Starbucks, wouldn't you want to give it a try?"

"Compared to lesser-known shops, Starbucks' competitors are certainly more buzzworthy, so there's no need to worry about initial buzz. Starbucks already has a stable customer base, and opening a shop across from Starbucks will help divert customers from the overflowing queue." Yukinoshita Haruno rested a finger on her fair chin. "Avoiding direct conflict can help maintain stable development for a while, but in the long run... it's not optimistic."

"That's the crux of the matter." Dong Yunshan raised his glass. "If you can succeed by opening across from Starbucks, why would you need to cooperate with me?"

Yukinoshita Haruno can just open it herself.

"So I'm curious." Yukinoshita Haruno smiled, but her eyes were cold and clear, like crystal clear ice. "How can a small shop like ours compete with Starbucks?"

"Small means competitive advantage." Dong Yunshan pointed in the direction of the counter. "How long does it take for a chain like Starbucks to launch a new product?"

Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes moved slightly.

Dong Yunshan tapped his temple with two fingers together. "How long does it take to plan an event?"

"A single hair can move the entire body..." Yukinoshita Haruno murmured, "and we ourselves are just a single hair."

"We're too small. If we beat up Starbucks, it'll take Starbucks a month to react." Dong Yunshan chuckled, "That's enough time for us to beat them up again."

"Isn't it about avoiding competition, but actively provoking it?" Yukinoshita Haruno accurately grasped the crux of the matter. "But how do you know that the new products you launch and the activities you plan will actually be successful?"

"Well..." Dong Yunshan recalled what Hiratsuka Shizuka once said, "You'll understand when you reach my age."

Volume 6: Chapter 230: The Abolition Crisis

"Teacher," Yukinoshita Yukino closed the magazine and placed it on the table, "What exactly are you going to do?"

"As the advisory teacher of the Service Club..." Shizuka Hiratsuka straightened her back and announced loudly, "I want to abolish the Service Club!"

"What?!" Yuigahama Yui stood up suddenly, "How can this be possible..."

Saki Kawasaki also frowned.

"The Service Club isn't a place for you to eat, drink, have fun, and bond. If you want to enjoy life, please find another place." Hiratsuka Shizuka said sternly, "It's not the Service Club's style to ignore important members' long-term absences."

"After all that talk..." Yukinoshita Yukino pressed her temples as if she had a headache, "You actually just want to try the old-fashioned crises, right?"

"Is it really that obvious?" Shizuka Hiratsuka murmured doubtfully, "I was so serious..."

Yuigahama Yui breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be a joke..."

"I'm not kidding," Hiratsuka Shizuka warned in a more relaxed tone than before, "If I can't find the real reason why Shinonome has been away from the Servant Club for so long and get him to return, I will really abolish the Servant Club."

Yuigahama Yui: “Ah…”

"I'll give you a week." Shizuka Hiratsuka raised a finger. "Once that time is up, I'll take this activity room back."

Crack.

After making this announcement, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned and left, closing the door behind her.

"Xue-no..." Yuigahama Yui worriedly grabbed the corner of Yukinoshita Yukino's clothes, "What should I do..."

"The real reason...?" Yukinoshita Yukino murmured softly.

"In other words, helping someone open a shop isn't the real reason for his long absence from the Servant Club," Kawasaki Saki said. "He might really be helping someone open a shop, but that's not his goal; it's just an excuse."

"Or rather...form." Yukinoshita Yukino narrowed her cold eyes slightly, "I thought he had changed, but it seems he needs further correction."

Correction... Hearing this familiar word, Yuigahama Yui felt relieved.

If they continue to correct it, the two of them should be able to stick together like before.

A further correction is to stick it more firmly.

Some changes... corrections... Saki Kawasaki only needed a little thought to figure out the whole story.

After Yukinoshita Yukino and Azuma Yunshan started dating, they gradually discovered problems that they had not noticed before they started dating. Because they could not accept it, they broke up.

After the breakup, both of them calmed down and began to actively seek change.

Teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka discovered the abnormality of the two people. In order to help them, she supported them in establishing a service club, allowing them to discover and solve their own problems while solving other people's problems, and slowly reconcile.

A campus love story about continuing to participate in a club even after breaking up

That's why Mr. Shizuka Hiratsuka said that if Azuma Yunshan doesn't come back, the team will be disbanded.

Because this ministry was established just to help the two of them get back together.

That's why Yukinoshita Yukino cares that Azuma Yunshan doesn't come to the Servant Club often, but she doesn't ask Azuma Yunshan to return to the Servant Club.

Because Yukinoshita Yukino believes that Azuma Yunshan has changed under her correction, as long as Azuma Yunshan has changed, reunion is a matter of time, and being away from the Service Club for a while will not prevent them from being together in the future.

That's why Yukinoshita Yukino is so angry now.

Because if Dong Yunshan has not changed and is no longer in the Service Club, it means that he may have no intention of getting back together.

reasonable.

But no matter how reasonable it is, it is just a guess, and the specific situation still needs further verification.

"Should we just ask Yunshan directly?" Yuigahama Yui suggested, "Didn't he tell me before? As long as we ask nicely, there's no need for him to hide it."

"On the other hand, once he starts hiding something, he won't reveal it even if you ask him nicely." Yukinoshita Yukino snorted coldly, "Whatever his true purpose is, it's hard to find any fault with it in terms of the form."

Indeed...Yuigahama Yui agreed with that.

Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino now live together and they correct their mistakes every day.

Don’t ask, asking is correction.

The clean and innocent kind.

"Then we can only investigate secretly." Saki Kawasaki understood the implication of Yukinoshita Yukino's words.

[Although I want to get back together, I don't want him to know that I want to get back together, and I also want to know whether he wants to get back together or not.]

"That's what I said..." Yuigahama Yui tilted her head in thought, "But how can I investigate secretly?"

"First, determine the timeframe." Yukinoshita Yukino's thoughts were clear. "When did he start reducing the time he spent at the Servant Club?"

"Hmm..." Yuigahama Yui turned her gaze and looked at Kawasaki Saki.

"Not long after I joined the Servant Club," Kawasaki Saki pondered. "To be more precise, it was after the midterm exams and the job internship."

"It should be after he discovered your talent for mixing drinks." Yuigahama Yui further pinpointed the time node. "After discovering this, he rarely stayed at the Servant Club. It should be from that time that he started helping people prepare for the opening of the shop... It makes sense."

"I should have thought of it earlier..." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed softly, "Even when he knew Saki was a bartender, he had the idea of ​​helping someone open a shop, but it was not until after the internship that he started to take real action."

You're used to it, aren't you?... Kawasaki Saki recalled: "When I tuned him up for Sunset Roller, he recognized my talent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have prepared the equipment before letting me try it. So why did he wait until after the internship to start taking action?"

"Because before that, only he knew, but after that, we all knew." Yukinoshita Yukino rested her finger on her chin, "Only in this way, in our eyes, it makes sense that he was so busy helping people open shops that he rarely stayed in the Servant Club."

"He did this on purpose to hide his true purpose. We first had this assumption, and when we found him, we would verify it and believe it." Yuigahama Yui suddenly understood, but then fell into confusion, "But what is his real purpose?"

There was a brief silence in the activity room.

Crack.

The door opened, and Hikigaya Komachi greeted them cheerfully, "Ah... eh? Why does the atmosphere feel weird... Have you all heard about it?"

"Hmm?" Yukinoshita Yukino looked up, "What did you hear?"
