"Instead of daydreaming, why don't you talk about other things?" Yukino looked out the window, sipping steamy tea with her pink lips.
"Why did you move out of your home so suddenly?"
"Is it so sudden? I've been away for two years, but you didn't know anything about studying abroad." Rinno glanced at her phone and saw that ten minutes had passed.
He had things to do tonight and didn't have much time to waste.
A high school student living alone has to face all kinds of troubles, and the most important thing is that Natsume Rinno needs to earn her own living expenses.
Relying on the accumulation and experience of his previous life, his income is already very considerable, but his lifestyle is gradually moving towards that of a corporate slave.
He has made up his mind that after earning enough money to support his high school career, he will temporarily quit the workforce, spend these three years in peace, and then prepare for future development.
In Tokyo, where the cultural industry is not very developed, Natsume Rinno can make a good living by plagiarizing texts. She really has no desire to strive for success.
"Why?" Xue No blurted out, then pinched her chin and pondered: "It seems that you don't want to say it. Does it have anything to do with my sister?"
"If you don't make random guesses, I can still treat you as my sister."
The activity room fell silent. When the name "sister" was occasionally mentioned, not only Yukino looked melancholy, but Rinno's expression softened as well.
The last time he was able to call her sister was three years ago. Yukino had not yet gone abroad and was just an elementary school student. He was still boarding at Yukinoshita's house at the time and was given Yukinoshita's last name.
No matter what happened later, it was indeed the Yukinoshita family that helped him through the most difficult years, and the conflict had little to do with Yukino going abroad.
"You are too arrogant to take away my brother's title without my permission." Yukinoshita Mushino stood up, lifted her long hair by her shoulders, and an awe-inspiring aura came over her.
Compared to elementary school, she looks a lot more mature after returning to China. Even though her temper can't be changed, she became one of the goddesses of Sobu High School as soon as she entered school.
"You should talk about serious matters." Rinno emphasized.
"..."
Yukino's cheeks turned red. She should have been the one to say this, but Rinno got there first.
I haven't been back to the island country for such a long time, and I still feel a little uncomfortable.
"This is the service department."
"You already said that." Rinno picked up the flyer on the table and started reading it.
"The purpose of the Service Club is to lend a helping hand to those who are in trouble, but it cannot be just one-sided help. The other party must learn how to solve the problem." Yukino described her thoughts when she founded the club in a stick-reading tone.
Natsume Rinno saw the company's mission statement on the flyer, as well as the recruitment requirements that could almost be described as outrageous.
【Master many skills, preferably all-rounder】
[You must be kind and at least don’t quarrel with the president]
[Your academic performance must be good, at least not worse than mine]
[The spirit of dedication must be sufficient to meet the needs of community activities]
[The most important thing is not to have any thoughts about the president! ]
"You don't look like you're looking to recruit anyone, and Yukinoshita-san, please help me," Rinno complained, holding out her hand.
"...What?" Yukino frowned.
"Isn't the Service Club supposed to help other students? I can't even pay my rent this month. Can Yukinoshita-san bear to see me wandering the streets?"
The fingers pulling her hair turned slightly white. Yukino took a few deep breaths and forced herself to put on a kind expression.
"Natsume-san, you were just bragging to me that you would provide financial assistance if I would just give in."
"Oh, I've been staying up too late lately, so my memory is a little bad." Rinno naturally withdrew her hand, leaned lazily in the chair, and took out her mobile phone to check the time.
Ten minutes to go.
He had to deal with this kid quickly, as he had other important things to attend to.
"But can one person set up a club? Or did Hiratsuka-sensei have some kind of deal with you? She looks very powerful. Does your hospital offer beauty services?"
"Hiratsuka-sensei is fine. Although he is not young, he looks like a big sister."
Yukino fell into deep thought, could it be that her sister is already considered an old person?
When I see Haruno, I must repeat this sentence to her, of course, making sure to indicate that the source is Natsume Rinno.
Maybe I could get some information from her about why Rinno left the Yukinoshita family.
"As for the club, I don't want this room to become a place for boys to release their teenage hormones, and those girls."
Her tone became proud again, and she looked up at her little face which looked particularly adorable.
"Not to mention whether they have the confidence to join, even if they do, they will quickly become jealous idiots because of my cuteness."
Natsume Rin was speechless.
Has this woman always been like this, or has her condition become more serious during her three years abroad?
"With this expression on your face, am I not the cutest person in the world?" Yukino crossed her arms in front of her chest and crossed her legs, her tone revealing a strong sense of confidence.
"Mr. Pan, right?"
"…You are so mean. I am the second cutest girl in the world. Now the second cutest girl, Yukinoshita, needs help from another Yukinoshita. You won't reject me, will you? My club needs one."
Thinking of the lovely Mr. Pan, Xueno hardened her heart and lowered her ranking by one place.
"Time's up, see you, Yukino-chan."
It is a disgrace for an author who cannot update Chapter 3 ten times a day!
"Eh? Don't run away!" Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and tried to stop him.
It's so hard to find a suitable club member, how can we let him go so easily?
"Yukino-chan, I have no interest in playing club games with you. And if you want to beat Haruno, you can't waste your time on meaningless things like this."
The light of dusk shone through the window of the activity room onto Natsume Rinno's handsome face. He was usually lazy, but when he mentioned Haruno, his voice became stern.
It was that damn Haruno who forced him out of Yukinoshita's house and almost caused him to become a homeless person in Tokyo.
"……elder sister?"
"As Yukino's brother, I fully support your idea. The future of the Yukinoshita family should be in the hands of smarter people. When you really fight her, I will be your solid backing."
Rinno patted her shoulder, looking like she had seen through it all.
Since she was a child, Yukino has always been a well-behaved girl, and she has been imitating Haruno's every move most of the time. However, due to her naturally cold personality, her imitation of Haruno's acting skills could only earn her perfunctory praise from guests and her parents.
"Yukino is so good."
Then she would turn around and chat with Haruno, leaving Yukino, who had just made some achievements, aside.
After all, compared to her, Yangno is more cheerful and Rinno is more sensible.
If he, her sworn brother, wasn't a kindhearted man who comforted Yukino whenever her lovely sister was ignored, her narcissistic and cold temper might have become even worse.
"It seems that your leaving home is inseparable from Yang No..." Yukino sighed and confirmed this guess.
His method of instigation was simply too obvious. Even if she wanted to compete with Yang Noi, it wasn't the time.
"It's good that you understand. When Yukino inherits the Yukinoshita family's business, remember to invite me over. I want to see that woman fail with my own eyes."
After saying this with lingering thoughts, Rinno picked up her schoolbag and prepared to go home.
"Where do you live now?" Yukino asked coldly after putting things on the table.
The activities of the service club did not exist in the first place, so there was no problem for her to leave early.
"I rented a house near the school, and I have to make money to pay the rent. Shouldn't Yukinoshita help me?"
Walking out of the activity room, Yukino was locking the door, and Rinno was still thinking about the purpose of her service club, but her eyes unconsciously glanced towards her absolute domain.
The spring attire of Sobu High School is a black and white school uniform paired with a black pleated skirt. It is elegant yet lively, especially when girls wear it, they look more youthful.
Girls with beautiful leg curves will be a little more creative when matching their clothes, replacing their black stockings to expose their entire legs.
Yukino didn't think much of it. Even though the perfect pair of calves under the pleated skirt were covered by cotton socks, the beauty of the middle part was enough to completely change one's attitude.
"I feel like there is a disgusting gaze." After turning around, Yukino stared at Rinno vigilantly. She seemed to be a little careless towards her brother.
When he was in primary school, he probably didn't know anything, but now he looks like a complete pervert in the making.
"That's admiration." Rinno corrected her and led the way towards the stairs.
When he reached the school gate, he made his conclusion.
"It's completely understandable that I can't help but look a few more times at someone as cute as Yukinoshita-san."
"I will report your criminal declaration to Mr. Hiratsuka." Yukino lifted the strands of hair from her shoulders, and a nonchalant smile appeared on her perfect face. "And sister, I feel like you should be very scared of her."
"…I've been thinking too much about you. See you tomorrow."
It would be better if we don't meet tomorrow, Rinno thought to herself. Yukino waved goodbye to him and walked in the opposite direction from him.
It was strange that the driver of Yukinoshita's family didn't come to pick her up.
Rinno shook her head and trotted towards where she lived.
The price of renting a house near school in Shinjuku District was enough to make a high school student like him complain.
Especially when he traveled to Tokyo, his parents had passed away in a car accident, and he grew up in the home of his distant relative Yukinoshita during his childhood.
Although he lacked sufficient financial resources, he was able to be independent and self-reliant, and survived stubbornly in Tokyo with his tenacious spirit and sufficient wisdom.
Of course, it is also inseparable from the insignificant copywriting skills.
Since the novel world in this world is so weak, what he did could be considered as bringing a little update and shock to these lazy authors!
An author who only updates two volumes a year has no right to live in this world!
Writing ten updates a day is what an author should do.
When he walked downstairs, he noticed a large truck parked there and people were constantly getting on and off, carrying luggage back and forth.
Are you a student from nearby too?
Thinking this, Rinno walked to the third floor and found that the neighbor's room, which had been empty a few days ago, became lively.
"Hello, I'm the new neighbor Shiina Mahiru. Please give me your guidance in the future."
With bright yellow hair draped over her shoulders and a gentle smile on her small face, when she noticed that Yukinoshita Rinno opened the door of the next room, Shiina Mahiru greeted her out of politeness between neighbors.
She was wearing the uniform of another school, probably a well-known private girls' high school, not far from Sobu High School. The design of the uniform had an aristocratic feel, and it also brought out Shiina Mahiru's noble and gentle temperament.
