Yukinoshita Yukino, the flower of Sobu High School.
A perfectionist, a beautiful girl with both intelligence and charm, she excelled in her studies and other areas.
Her only flaw might be that she learned everything too quickly, leaving her with weak physical endurance—commonly described as "not being able to last."
As an exceptionally outstanding girl, she was so impressive that others envied her.
A week ago, with Shizuka Hiratsuka's help, she had founded a club called the Service Club.
On one hand, she wanted to prove her abilities to her mother and sister.
On the other, she wanted to influence others and improve this somewhat distorted world, a world that had excluded her for being too outstanding since childhood.
…
Today, Yukinoshita Yukino sat alone in the room, reading a book, just as she had for the past few days.
But a sudden knock at the door interrupted her.
She instinctively thought it was Shizuka Hiratsuka.
After all, although she had founded the Service Club to help others, given her social circle and the remote location of the room, it was unlikely that anyone else would come here.
However, if it was Hiratsuka, why would she knock on the door?
Thinking of Hiratsuka's carefree nature—she usually never knocked but just pushed doors open—Yukinoshita Yukino felt a headache coming on.
[After all my reminders, did Mr. Hiratsuka finally listen?
Is it an accomplishment to make Mr. Hiratsuka knock on a door?]
She put down her book, looked at the door, and called softly:
"Come in."
No sooner had she spoken than the door opened, revealing a boy wearing glasses and a bit overweight.
Seeing him, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly.
For some reason, the sight made her uneasy, and she instinctively shrank back.
But she quickly regained her composure and asked politely:
"Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you?"
······
Tanaka Masao looked at the beautiful girl sitting quietly by the window and couldn't help but feel a little stunned.
He had seen many main characters before, and they were naturally beautiful.
But Yukinoshita Yukino gave an impression of near-perfect beauty. Except for her flat chest, she was flawless.
Yukinoshita Yukino stared blankly at Tanaka Masao after he entered.
She didn't feel surprised at all.
It was normal for boys to be attracted to her looks. She was used to it.
"Classmate, can you put away your lustful gaze? I feel like I'm in danger," she said, covering her chest.
Hearing her, Tanaka Masao finally snapped out of it.
Well, he had let his mind wander a bit earlier, thinking about the names of two children.
Still, he was annoyed at Yukinoshita Yukino's instinctive gesture.
He really hadn't been looking there.
Turning his head to avoid distraction, he spoke:
"Hello, Yukinoshita-san. I'm Tanaka Masao, Class D, Grade 1."
Yukinoshita Yukino had sensed a trace of malice from him but didn't know why.
Seeing him greet her politely, she nodded and didn't press the issue.
She wasn't surprised he knew her name and still felt confident about her popularity at school.
"Tanaka-kun, what are you doing here?"
Yukinoshita Yukino was curious. Although she didn't want to admit it, this remote room was rarely visited by anyone other than Hiratsuka Shizuka.
[Is he a stalker?]
She had encountered stalkers several times before, but her family had always handled the situation, so she wasn't too worried.
Tanaka Masao naturally couldn't admit that he had come looking for her, but he had a ready excuse:
"I was wandering around the school and found that there were many empty rooms here, so I came to take a look out of curiosity.
I didn't expect Yukinoshita-san to be here."
Yukinoshita Yukino accepted this explanation.
A bored student wandering, finding an unfamiliar room and walking in—it was reasonable.
A breeze blew through the glass, stirring the curtains and her hair.
She gently gathered her hair and asked:
"Now that you've seen it, do you plan to leave or stay and talk?"
This was the Service Club; its purpose was to help others. Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't drive anyone away.
And if Tanaka Masao had a serious and feasible request, she could accept it.
Having been in the Service Club for a week, she was still looking forward to her first commission.
Tanaka Masao nodded and accepted her invitation.
He found a chair and sat about three meters away from her.
······
After Tanaka Masao sat down, the room fell silent.
Clearly, Yukinoshita Yukino had no intention of speaking first.
After about ten seconds, Tanaka Masao asked cautiously:
"What does Yukinoshita do in this classroom?"
Seeing him ask directly, Yukinoshita Yukino didn't answer immediately but responded with interest:
"Why don't you guess?"
"Hmm…"
Tanaka Masao thought for a moment and said:
"Yukinoshita used her powerful background to get the teacher to give her an empty room, so she could have a quiet and comfortable space at school to read and eat."
Yukinoshita Yukino's cold expression didn't falter.
Although she wanted to refute it, after thinking carefully, Tanaka Masao wasn't entirely wrong.
With a powerful background—her father was a county councilor, and her sister had a good relationship with Hiratsuka Shizuka—she did have advantages.
Although her original intention was to create a club to help others, with no commissions yet, she did enjoy this quiet space for herself.
But she definitely hadn't forced Hiratsuka Shizuka to give her this room.
It wasn't really "forcing"…
After a few seconds of silence, Yukinoshita Yukino spoke:
"Tanaka-kun, please don't think in such narrow-minded terms. I wouldn't do something so trivial."
Saying that, she closed the book on her lap and stood up.
Looking at Tanaka Masao, she walked toward him while speaking:
"People who are wealthy and give their surplus to those in need with compassion are called volunteers.
Helping those in trouble is the purpose of the club I founded.
Welcome to the Service Club."
Looking at her, arms folded and long black hair fluttering in the breeze, Tanaka Masao felt a little excited.
