The two were actually having an affair!
Hiratsuka Shizuka heard what Yukinoshita Yukino said and became even more certain. If it weren't related to Yukinoshita's personality, why would she take the initiative to recruit people to the club and even ask for their help?
"Thank you, Yukinoshita-san, but I'm Natsume Rinno." He said nonchalantly.
It seems that in her mind I should still be Yukinoshita Rinno.
"A name is just a symbol, it doesn't have much meaning."
"Then we should forget the past."
"When you can invent a device to erase memories, remember to use it for me." Yukino reacted reluctantly.
"Amnesia gameplay? I didn't expect Yukinoshita-san to be that kind of person."
The argument became more heated, and Hiratsuka Shizuka laughed loudly, "You two had a very good relationship before."
"No." "Professor, please don't say that."
The two answered at the same time, as skillfully as if they'd rehearsed it countless times, which made Hiratsuka Shizuka laugh even louder. Were these two already a couple?
She didn't know Natsume Rinno's family history, but Shizuka Hiratsuka knew the Yukinoshita family very well. An ordinary family shouldn't be qualified to date a young woman.
"Professor Hiratsuka, this is the information you requested." After calming down, Yukinoshita Yukino handed him what she was holding.
"This is information from the Service Club, but it's a club created by an individual. Even if I agree, the Student Union won't consider it a real club." Shizuka Hiratsuka flipped through the materials and explained the problem.
"Student Council? What's that?" Yukino said. "My original intention in founding a club is to realize my ideas. It has nothing to do with whether others agree or not."
Natsume Rinno wanted to yawn, but since Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't give the order, he couldn't escape so soon.
"Is Mr. Hiratsuka in charge of the club?" he asked curiously.
"Well, both new students who want to start clubs and old students who want to disband, they need to ask me for help." After reviewing the information, Shizuka Hiratsuka took a red stamp from the drawer and stamped it on the last page.
"The more capable, the more work?"
"No, this is blatant bullying in adult society and in the workplace!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka handed the materials back to Yukinoshita Yukino, turned around, crossed her legs, and began complaining, "Just because I'm new to school, I've been given this thankless task. Basically, the leaders of all the clubs have to come to me, leaving me with no time to rest."
"Yukinoshita-san, please find other people to join the club as soon as possible. If Natsume doesn't want to, you should lower your standards. It's not good for you to be alone in the activity room."
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded indifferently, showing no remorse. After realizing everything was fine, Natsume said goodbye to the teacher and left the classroom.
From the hallway on the first floor, you can see the campus atrium, the campus during lunchtime, and high school students chatting in the flower beds.
In spring in Tokyo, cherry blossoms begin to bloom one after another on campus, and Natsume Rinno welcomes this youthful scene.
"I intend to suspend the club's activities."
Yukinoshita Yukino, who was following him, suddenly spoke.
"Are you going to give up? High school students should strive to make studying their goal." Natsume Rinno encouraged her to think.
"No." Yukino shook her head, her pretty face filled with thoughts, "I think there's something wrong with the purpose of the current service club. Just like how you shamelessly came to me asking for help yesterday, it's really disturbing."
If you don't insult him, you won't be able to speak?
He can handle it!
Natsume Rinno was curiously curious about her personality points at that moment, so she took her second chance to test Yukinoshita Yukino.
...
[Name: Yukinoshita Yukino]
[Appearance: 9]
[IQ: 8]
[Force: 4]
[Personality: 4]
[Introduction: A young lady from a prestigious family, her personality is like her name, inspiring and inviolable ice and snow.]
Both her physical strength and personality are inferior to those of ordinary people, which is in line with Natsume Rinno's stereotype of Yukinoshita.
"Your eyes are strange." Yukino held the short, narrow hem of her skirt with both hands, trying to cover her soft calves. She muttered quickly, "Being with a man like you makes me feel dangerous. And even if you're lewd, you should be careful about the occasion. You're looking at me like that in the hallway..."
Yukino still felt a little uncomfortable thinking that some people in her class were privately discussing sending love letters to Natsume.
His popularity is so high that he really needs to be punished with social death.
"Are you done? Then I have to get back to class."
This kind of reaction makes people even more angry.
"Just one more thing. I repeated to her what you said about your sister being an old lady. No need to thank me." Yukinoshita Yukino pinched the hair on her hand and said in a tone that was taking advantage of her.
"It's a good thing I didn't tell Hiratsuka-sensei. You were the one who told me yesterday that she was an elderly lady."
"I said such a thing?" Natsume Rinno couldn't believe it and continued to recall the details.
He just said that Hiratsuka-sensei looked very old...
"It doesn't matter. Tokyo has twenty-three districts and a lot of people. As long as Haruno isn't so crazy as to block the school gate, the chance of us meeting is slim." Natsume Rinno pretended to be calm.
After all, they haven't met by chance in the years since they separated, which is enough to prove that fate doesn't exist between them.
Yukino looked at him with pity, thinking that he was still deceiving himself at this moment.
If Haruno really wanted to capture someone, not to mention the 23rd District, even the entire island country wouldn't be a problem.
Without interrupting his fantasy, the two parted ways in the hallway. She returned to preparing the service club's new purpose, while Natsume seemed a little distracted that afternoon.
After school, he ran straight home.
"to call."
Natsume Rinno leaned against the apartment wall, patting his chest, and still felt a lingering fear at the thought of that pervert.
Even for him, Yukinoshita Haruno left a very deep memory, one that could even be called unforgettable.
"Ding dong."
"Who!"
A bell was heard outside the door, and Natsume Rinno unconsciously screamed.
The person outside must have been startled by this reaction and spoke weakly after a while.
"Natsume-san, so Shiina Mahiru."
He's the neighbor who moved in yesterday. The threat he poses is basically zero.
After Natsume Rinno confirmed through the peephole that it was really her outside, she opened the door and smiled gently.
"Shiina-san, is something wrong?"
"This is a new cake I made. I can't finish it alone. When I heard Natsume-san had returned, I thought, if you want to try it, I'd like to give it as a gift to your new neighbor."
With an angelic smile on her face, Mahiru Shiina held half of the remaining cake with a cute kitten print on it.
It looks delicious from the looks of it.
He really has a good personality.
Natsume looked at him for a few minutes, asked Shiina Mahiru to wait a moment, and then went back to the room to search.
When she came out again, she was holding a beautiful pendant in her hand.
"This is a return gift for the meeting, what do you think?"
