After several consecutive 'rehearsals'-
Yukino still couldn't achieve the effect her mother wanted.
But the commotion outside the car had ended.
The Yukinoshita's family of four looked through the car window and saw Lott slowly descending, carrying a half-dead Genos.
He happened to land on the opposite side of the road from their car.
"Can you still stand, Genos?"
Lott set Genos down and asked.
"Yes. As expected, the limits of a human body are about this much. I hope to transplant cells from other species soon to keep up with you, Sensei."
Genos supported himself on the railing behind him with his right hand, clenching his left fist, seeming impatient.
Gurgle~
At that moment, Lott's stomach rumbled like thunder in protest.
"Ahh~ Now that you mention it, I came here without eating breakfast. Let's have Erina make something. Genos, do you want to join us?"
Lott patted his stomach and asked.
"No, I'll pass, Sensei."
Genos was learning to read the situation better now.
When his Sensei was with only one woman, it was best not to interrupt.
"Alright, let's head back then."
As Lott spoke, he prepared to turn and leave with Genos.
In the car across the street, seeing Lott and Genos about to leave, Mrs. Yukinoshita could no longer care about her second daughter's unsatisfactory 'rehearsal'. She hurriedly shouted:
"Yukino! Quickly! Go apologize!"
In her anxiety, Mrs. Yukinoshita didn't even consider whether her daughter agreed.
She opened the car door and physically pushed her younger daughter out.
Yukino stumbled and nearly fell.
Fortunately, X City was still under reconstruction, and there weren't many cars on the road.
Otherwise, it was still a red light at this time, so if a car had charged from the opposite direction...
Lott wouldn't waste a wish to resurrect her.
Seeing Lott walking towards her, Yukino gritted her teeth, struggling for a long time but failing to utter a single word.
"S-Sorry... th-that... I'm... sorry..."
After struggling for what felt like an eternity, Yukino finally managed to squeeze the words 'I'm sorry' out from between her teeth just as Lott came within half a meter of her.
However, what happened next left Yukino completely stunned.
Because Lott walked right past her.
That's right, as if he didn't see her at all.
He just walked past.
Yukino turned her head, looking at Lott's retreating back in disbelief.
"Wait!"
Without even thinking, Yukino subconsciously called out.
Genos, who had been following behind Lott and was also about to walk past Yukino, glanced sideways at her.
"What is she trying to do!?"
Watching her second daughter's actions from across the street, Mrs. Yukinoshita's heart nearly jumped out of her chest.
She was terrified her younger daughter would say something shocking again.
Fortunately, this time Yukino seemed to have learned a little.
What she said wasn't offensive, but it certainly lived up to the evaluation of shocking.
"You... I-I'll do anything... as long as you're willing to forgive me!"
When she reached the words 'anything', a faint blush still rose on Yukino's pale cheeks.
"Huh?"
Lott, who originally had no intention of acknowledging her, finally stopped and half-turned to look at her.
"Yukino!?"
Haruno, the siscon, had her expression changed dramatically.
She looked like she wanted to rush down and stop it.
How could she let her sister lose her virginity like this?!
Slap!
However, the moment Haruno's hand touched the car door handle, she received a slap from her mother.
Haruno covered the slapped side of her face, looking at her mother in disbelief.
But Mrs. Yukinoshita wasn't even looking at her, she was calmly observing the situation across the street.
Her perpetually cold face now actually showed a faint smile.
If Lott answered with a single 'Okay', Haruno had no doubt her mother would pop open champagne on the spot to celebrate.
For the first time in years, Mrs. Yukinoshita was showing approval for her younger daughter.
'It seemed she wasn't entirely useless after all.'
However, about ten seconds later.
After Lott's gaze swept up and down Yukino's body, his answer wasn't 'Okay', but a disdainful snort from his nose.
He turned away again and left without looking back.
Yukino, who had already prepared herself to sacrifice her body to the devil, trembled with anger at this moment.
For a woman, no, for a female-
There was probably no greater insult than this.
At that moment, Genos also walked past her, not even glancing at her, and delivered a scathing remark:
"Pan would starve to death."
…
Five minutes later, inside the Yukinoshita Family's extended luxury car.
Yukino sat with her head bowed low, completely silent.
Her older sister, Haruno, sitting beside her, gently patted her shoulder in comfort.
Mrs. Yukinoshita rubbed her forehead inwardly, extremely disappointed, and said:
"It seems I gave you too much freedom before, making you so useless."
The words 'useless' at this moment felt like salt rubbed into the deep wound Lott had just inflicted on Yukino's self-esteem.
'What do you mean 'useless'?'
'I studied desperately, tying for first place with that Shinomiya Kaguya from the Shinomiya Family all three years of high school.'
'I had gone that far, and in your eyes, I only deserves the evaluation of 'useless'?'
'And the reason is simply because I didn't let a selfish monster sleep with me?'
'What exactly am I, your daughter, in your heart?'
Of course, Yukino only muttered these shouts in her heart.
Towards her mother, she felt a fear originating from her soul.
She had seen before how terrifying her mother could be when angry.
Yukino had never seen her mother, who always presented the image of a noble lady both at home and in public, actually hit someone.
However, Mrs. Yukinoshita had no interest in the anger and resentment in her younger daughter's eyes.
She just coldly analyzed: "Indeed, Yukino's charm as a woman is too limited. That was my miscalculation."
As she spoke, Mrs. Yukinoshita raised her eyes and fixed her gaze on her eldest daughter.
This eldest daughter who had inherited not only her beauty but also her figure.
"Haruno, you go."
Haruno's beautiful eyes flickered, showing a trace of surprise for a brief moment.
But the next second, she nodded in agreement.
As the first successor of the Yukinoshita Family-
She had long been prepared to sacrifice everything for the family, whether it was her life or her body.
Yukino tightly pressed her pink lips together, using all her strength not to make a sound.
But her body still trembled uncontrollably.
She even began to doubt whether she and her sister were truly their mother's biological daughters.
'Was she really so eager to push both her daughters towards that monster?'
'In the end, wasn't it just because of one sentence?'
'I had already said 'I'm sorry', hadn't I?'
'Wasn't that enough?'
'Why did I or Nee-san have to give up our bodies?'
"Heh~ You think I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, right? You think I'm cheap, desperately trying to send my daughters to be slept with, right?"
Mrs. Yukinoshita suddenly sneered and looked at her younger daughter.
Yukino was so frightened she nearly fell off the expensive leather seat.
This was what she feared about her mother.
Not only the natural authority, but also the fact that since childhood, she could always see right through her true thoughts.
Just like her sister.
