While Renji Kamisaka was enjoying Shiina Mahiru's lap, the three exchange students from Toshōbu High School at Soubu High were close to finding all they sought.
Momo Sakurabara and Runa Kusami exchanged glances, and finally Momo Sakurabara spoke first. "Yasuo, Runa and I asked Kawasaki from first-year Class F." Momo's voice sounded serious. "The one who had the wedding experience with Sumireko is named Renji Kamisaka, also from first-year Class F. It's said that he has a relationship with more or less many beautiful girls at school."
Momo continued, her tone slightly skeptical. "Some people say that he has many relationships at the same time. Even the famous high school actress Mai Sakurajima has had scandals with him."
Hearing this, Yasuo Hazuki frowned, his expression filled with annoyance. "How could Sumireko be with someone like that? I don't believe it. Sumireko must want me to give up and deliberately found a playboy as a shield!" Yasuo clenched his fists, his voice rising. "That man isn't worthy of Sumireko!"
When Runa Kusami heard this, her heart ached. Sumireko, Sumireko, Sumireko, he only knows Sumireko. Yet Runa and Momo are the ones who are always by his side! Runa felt sad, but she was used to comforting her childhood sweetheart, so she smiled faintly and said, "Then, Yasuo, do you still want to continue pursuing Sumireko?"
"Yes." Yasuo Hazuki clenched his fists and showed a resolute expression, his eyes full of determination. "If I don't ask clearly, I'll never be able to let go. I don't think that person who's cheating is better than me."
Momo Sakurabara promised with a smile, "Yasuo, we'll help you. Anyway, first, ask clearly if Renji Kamisaka is really dating Sumireko."
"Well, let's go see him now!" Yasuo Hazuki said, excited.
Yasuo Hazuki and his group came again to Hayama Hayato. "Hayama, I heard that Renji is your class monitor. Do you know where he is now? I want to consult him about something."
Hayama smiled kindly when he heard what Yasuo Hazuki said, "If you want to find Renji Kamisaka, you can only wait until tomorrow because he's already gone home."
Momo Sakurabara widened her eyes. "The cultural exchange isn't over yet. He's the class monitor. How can he be so irresponsible and just leave?"
Hayama Hayato smiled and explained, "The class monitor has already prepared the venue and props for the event. The rest is, of course, about cooperation. He's always been an early dismissal club member. He probably has something going on at home. Everyone understands."
Momo Sakurabara showed a surprised expression. "Hayama, is Renji Kamisaka very popular in class?"
"Well, I guess so. He's very popular with girls." Hayama replied casually. Most boys were envious and disliked Renji Kamisaka, so few people were willing to talk to Renji Kamisaka.
Momo Sakurabara and Runa Kusami looked at each other. A word came to their minds. "Lady-killer!"
But Yasuo frowned upon hearing it. "Hayama, thank you for telling us. It seems we can only look for him tomorrow for this matter."
After leaving the venue, the three of them had no intention of continuing to stroll around. Yasuo Hazuki was even more anxious. Waiting until tomorrow was simply torture.
Momo Sakurabara smiled and patted Yasuo's shoulder. "Don't be depressed, Yasuo, you also said that Sumireko might just be looking for a shield." She tried to comfort him. "Just like at Toshōbu High School, Yasuo, aren't you very popular with girls?"
"You're right, Momo, let's wait until tomorrow." Yasuo Hazuki said, a faint smile finally returning to his face.
Seeing Yasuo Hazuki had cheered up, Momo Sakurabara smiled and left him. She was the student council president at Toshōbu High School, and she wasn't here to have fun. Her main purpose was to investigate the learning atmosphere, campus facilities, and club management of Soubu High School. The main purpose of this cultural exchange was to bring good strategies back to Toshōbu High School. As the student council president, Momo Sakurabara was naturally good at other abilities, except that she had feelings for Yasuo Hazuki. Therefore, she had to start fulfilling her duties as president now, and she didn't have time to continue comforting Yasuo Hazuki.
Renji Kamisaka finally had to temporarily end his lap pillow experience with Shiina Mahiru, under Yukinoshita Yukino's piercing gaze. Checking the time, he stood up and said to Yukinoshita Yukino, "Yukinoshita, it's getting late, I'll walk you home." He added in a teasing tone, "Of course, if you want to stay over, I welcome you anytime."
"Send me back." Yukino said curtly. After being surrounded by bad people last time, Yukinoshita Yukino naturally didn't dare to go back alone.
Leaving Sumireko Sanshokuin and Shiina Mahiru to chat, Renji Kamisaka took Yukinoshita away from Sakurasou Dorm. On the way, the atmosphere became a little quiet. Neither of them spoke.
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at him, and her small lips couldn't help but pout slightly. "Pervert." She couldn't help but say something.
But Renji Kamisaka looked at her with a smile and threatened, "If you say that to me, I'll have to take action against you."
"You dare!" Yukino glared with her beautiful eyes, and raised her chin to look at him, a hint of challenge in her eyes.
"I really don't dare. If I bully you, Sister Haruno will get angry." Renji chuckled and continued to escort her.
"What do you think of... my sister?" Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly asked, her voice a little softer than usual.
"You're asking me what I think of Sister Haruno?" Renji replied, his expression bright. "Of course she's super beautiful, mature and intellectual, lively and cute. With her, there always seems to be an endless topic to talk about, which makes people feel comfortable."
Yukinoshita Yukino said "Oh" with a frown. Her expression seemed to become depressed. "Being with me is very depressing, isn't it?"
"..."
"My sister has been very good since she was a child. People who have met her will praise her." Yukino spoke to herself, a sense of unease emanating from every word. "Compared to my sister, I can be called well-behaved, but I'm more like an accessory to my sister." She sighed. "I didn't do anything. Every time I attended a banquet, I just sat there blankly and watched my sister shine brightly..."
The girl spoke to herself, feeling uncomfortable. Renji Kamisaka stopped and looked at her steadily.
Yukinoshita Yukino trembled and said uncomfortably, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Renji Kamisaka smiled gently, and suddenly reached out and held her hand tightly. "I just felt surprised and a little shocked... I'm honored that the president is willing to tell me about her own affairs."
Yukinoshita's cheeks flushed. She was truly flustered. What's wrong with me? Why did she tell him that she felt she couldn't compare to her sister? Was she expecting him to encourage and praise her? She wanted to pull her hand back in embarrassment, but she couldn't.
"Hand... you pervert, who allowed you to hold my hand! How rude!"
"Uh... sorry, I was afraid you'd get lost. Sister Haruno said you're a person with a bad sense of direction." Renji reluctantly released Yukinoshita's snowy white hand and made an excuse.
Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but roll her eyes and retorted unconvinced, "I'm not a person with a bad sense of direction. I'm just not used to places I haven't been to. Besides, this isn't the first time I've come home from Sakurasou Dorm. How could I not remember the way?" She narrowed her eyes. "Are you looking down on me?"
"How could I? I wouldn't dare look down on you." Renji said, deliberately glancing at her chest.
Yukinoshita Yukino sensitively crossed her arms and glared at him angrily. "Pervert, what are you looking at?"
"Ah, this... I'm just admiring you. The president is so beautiful." No, that's clearly looking down on my chest. Yukinoshita Yukino thought angrily. Sumireko Sanshokuin's splendor flashed in her mind. And Shiina Mahiru, also known for her perfect body. But me...
"..." She gritted her teeth, picked up her pace and accelerated her departure.
Renji Kamisaka hurriedly chased after her. "Are you angry?"
"Hmph, what do you think?" Yukino snorted.
"You look angry, but can't I look at you with admiration?" Renji asked, his tone amused.
"Are you admiring me?" Yukinoshita Yukino said, but couldn't say the rest. She felt increasingly embarrassed. Why should she care what he thought about her chest?
"Don't be angry. Since the president has told me about you, I'll tell you something about me in return."
"Don't say it. I'm not interested!" Yukino said this but her steps slowed.
Renji Kamisaka curled his lips. Yukinoshita is so cute when she says one thing but means another.
