Snapped.

She closed the paperback, seemingly wanting to leave. However...

Xueno slowly stood up, her snow-soft black hair cascading down her arms.

"Chihaya-san...Excuse me, where do you go to junior high?"

"Huh?..."

Aine was stunned.

My knee-jerk reaction was: Who are you? What do you know about my past?

But... there's no such cute girl in my junior high school, right? Her temperament is so outstanding, I feel like she could instantly become student council president just by standing on the election podium!

Of course, Aine also thought she was cute. As for not having such a striking aura, she was... more approachable.

This statement is a bit strange, how about changing it to... down-to-earth?

Down-to-earth girl band, ANON TOKYO!

It was hard to describe in every sense. She looked back at Yukinoshita Yukino's determined, clear eyes, and felt a pang of fear.

After biting her lip, the girl spoke timidly:

"Um...why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Also, this girl seems to be more like the eldest daughter of Tsuki no Mori than Suyo-san, right?

Yukino didn't have the complicated and changeable thoughts like Aine. At most, she checked the appearance of Yui and Umi beside her while they were eating melons, and then she made a brief eye contact with Lin You.

Continuing to speak slowly with his usual cool and gentle voice:

"Let me show Chihaya around Sobu High School... I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Hey...what about me? Xiaoxue?"

Before Aine could answer, Yuigahama joined in the fun.

Yukino: "The service club's activities are almost over."

Yui: “Huh?”

……

Sobu High School's buildings are located almost directly on the Inage Coast, and the campus is often bathed in a sea breeze. In the afternoon, the orange-red glow of the setting sun flickers and shimmers across the seawall, fading into the hues of water and sky before disappearing.

but.

Because it is summer, it is not getting dark so quickly. It is just a little gloomy.

Half an hour later——

The conversation between Yukino and Aine seemed to be over, and Lin You had already... temporarily sent everyone away.

Lin You tried to reach the corridor of the Tebo Teaching Building, where the door opened. Sure enough, he saw a promising girl with long hair hanging down, gazing at the scenery outside the window.

Even though it was just an ordinary evening at Sobu High School in Chiba.

but……

Because of this, she had the illusion of an elf or fairy, and no matter how she looked at the girl's beauty, it seemed to be at odds with reality. Her temperament was most similar to that of a cold and aloof snow girl.

In the soft, orange-red sunlight, Yukino's snow-white skin shone as if reflecting light. Her long hair fluttered in the gentle breeze. Bathed in the pale light like a fairy, she sang in a tiny, truly tiny voice... That song? It vaguely resembled the one that closed their band's first concert... "God knows..."

If it's a little later, I should be able to hear Yukino humming a song with "Pulse of the Stars"...

As expected, Yukino is not a snow woman…she actually has quite the personality.

I can laugh, cry, feel happy, feel helpless... and occasionally blame myself.

Lin Youxin said...So let me temporarily break this picturesque scene.

"Yukino."

"Um……"

Xue No seemed to have noticed Lin You's gaze long ago. She turned her eyes slightly and whispered like a cat:

"Just now... I spent about ten minutes making Chihaya-san cry without saying anything. It was really boring for me to accompany you..."

“Really? Aine is crying…”

Aiyin, who wanted to cry, put on a crying mask. Lin You had heard the cute fake crying of this playful girl many times.

However, this time it will probably bring a lot of real damage, right?

With Yukino's sharp tongue that hits the nail on the head, is Aine hiding in a corner crying now?

When she is discovered later, the girl will automatically put on a bright smile.

Wait…you started crying after ten minutes? What about the remaining twenty minutes?

"That guy is even more clingy than Yuigahama-san... He clings to me while crying." Yukino said seriously.

"Uh..." Lin You shook his head at first, then remembered something that bothered him, and said, "By the way, Yukino, how did you answer specifically? Besides studying abroad, did you also mention Aine's time as the student council president during junior high school?"

Yukino added, "I said, there was no student council when I was in elementary school. During my time studying abroad in junior high school, I became the student council president."

"........."

This time.

Lin You remained silent.

Wait, student council president?

Is it possible for Yukino to achieve such success? Will her charming personality be welcomed abroad?

And Aine...

finally understood.

It turns out that I, "Kasugano Yuu" teacher, didn't teach you anything else, Aine. The only thing I taught you was this:

Ability to withstand stress.

Just to withstand pressure, no output?

Then who can help me with my pursuit of the undefeated Aine?

...Otherwise, let Su Shi give him some special training?

……

After a while.

Lin You returned to the service club classroom, and coincidentally, Aine was the only one in the club office.

Suddenly calling someone over and then bullying her...seems a bit interesting, no, too much?

"Yuu, you're here? ...Hmm..."

"..."

Aine's voice seemed to be choked?

Lin You lowered his voice slightly, observing Aine's reaction. She still seemed to be a cute little sun, just complaining about why everyone left so suddenly without waiting for her... What Yukino said was not wrong...

"I just realized... Yukino is even more charming than Kasumi Shiko-sensei, and for some reason, she seems more approachable..."

Friendly?

Is it because both of you have... flat chests?

Lin You opened his mouth but didn't say anything. It's okay, small ones are cute too... It's just encouragement like that, but it doesn't apply today.

Words of comfort?... Come to think of it, I'm not really good at coaxing girls, am I? Lin You reflected, it seems that most of the girls so far have come up to him on their own initiative?

At times like this, just follow Yuki's experience. Lin You tightened his uniform tie and tried to speak.

“Aine…don’t be nervous. We’re the only two of us left alone in the entire service club right now.”

"Ah...ah...yes, yes...just the two of us."

For some reason, Aine's answer was disjointed. But regardless, the topic was opened, right?

She huddled in the standard chair at Sobu High School with her head lowered.

Lin You tried to expand on his story, and suddenly caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye that Aiyin's small hand seemed to be clenching something, and it was clenched so tightly that even her white and tender hand had some faint blue veins.

“…Aine, what’s that in your hand?”

confused.

Of course Lin You chose to ask directly.

Aine shuddered slightly, then shook her head vigorously from side to side, nervously saying, “No, nothing!”

"?"

Feeling that it would be very troublesome, Lin You directly grabbed the girl's hand and pried out the object.

For some reason, the air from the air conditioner seemed particularly weak at this time. The whirring sound filtered through Lin You's mind, and he almost broke into a sweat...

A mysterious note with a line of beautifully written small characters:

"You can't leave the service club unless you do ○!"

Lin You: "…………Okay, I think I understand."

I understand whose masterpiece this is.

I see. The fault for bullying Aine should also be attributed to Yuki, right? — It's all Yuki's fault!

Suo·Human Evil·Yuki!

But Aine, who was a bit of a fool, didn’t understand, and her cheeks became even redder, and her earlobes even turned pink.

Aine: “…I, I understand!!!”

Lin You understood!!!

meaning is……

Want to do it?

Here, right now!

Volume 154: Chapter But the smell outside the door is clearly that of Teacher Jing

The air was silent.

After class, the service club often smells of the fragrant aroma of black tea. After classes end and the sports club activities wind down, the air here becomes quiet, like welcoming dusk.

woohoo...

The air conditioner in summer brings a gentle breeze, but I can still hear the heartbeat slowly rising in my chest.

Lin You raised his eyes and looked at Chihaya Aine, who was blushing shyly and had a pair of gray eyes that seemed to be filled with expectation.

I have an inexplicable urge to change her last name to Asakusa...

... "A service club where you can't leave unless you join ○"?

Lin Youxin said that she had often thought about this before. The special teaching building with few people, the quiet atmosphere after class, and the many beautiful female members... time, place, and people, wouldn't these conditions be too favorable for carrying out "service" activities?

“Are you going to truly serve Aine? First, the mental pressure, then the physical service—”

Lin You muttered to himself, loosening his uniform tie and actually taking action.

He grabbed Aine's small hand and squeezed it in his palm.

The girl let out a faint moan, as if she was frightened. It was really tight, but also very sweet...

Aiyin has a passionate and cheerful personality. Due to her life in an all-girls school, she has never had any contact with anyone of the opposite sex, not even holding hands. However, in her interactions with Lin You, due to their cheerfulness, liveliness, and eccentricity, it is very common for them to bump into each other, touch shoulders, or even drink from the same can.

The same thing happened when I opened my little hand to check the note just now.

But now...it seems a little different?

"You... You... What are you going to do?"
