Yukino stared at him with a stern look. It would have been fine if she hadn't completed the task, but she actually used her own words to excuse herself: "Isn't Natsume-san known for having many friends?"
"Don't even think about that group of people. None of them can meet the requirements of the club president. The only one who is more suitable is Totsuka." Natsume Rin glanced at her and continued slowly, "But he has a good life in the tennis club, and..."
"And what?"
"And you scared him the first few times. When he heard it was the Service Club, he got so scared that his face turned pale and he ran away without paying any attention to me." Natsume Rin explained to her the experience of the unlucky Totsuka.
Thinking of that scene, Yukino's mouth curled up as if she was smiling, but it didn't last long, and she returned to her serious expression.
This guy definitely did it on purpose.
I always like to interrupt people with irrelevant things when they are talking about serious matters, thinking that this will liven up the atmosphere.
"But we are short of people," Yukino emphasized.
"How about Senior Eriri? She should meet your requirements, and she doesn't look like someone who would cause trouble." Natsume Rin suddenly had an idea.
The reason why Yukino resisted allowing girls to join the club was that they would be jealous of her. Obviously, senior Eriri doesn't have this problem. Not only does she have excellent qualifications herself, but she also seems to have a strong admiration for Yukino.
"I've looked for her, but she's a core member of the art department and has no plans to leave."
"Then there's nothing I can do. You can't cut me in two."
Natsume Rin was originally joking, but Yukino's eyes lit up and she looked at him very seriously, gesturing with her hand.
Even though she knew she did it on purpose, Natsume Rin still felt a chill in her heart, fearing that this now unpredictable minister would get upset.
"Minister, if a person is cut in half, he will die."
"really?"
"..."
Seeing his sullen look, Yukino, who seemed frightened, laughed cheerfully. It didn't take long for her to return to her ladylike appearance, but Natsume couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
She looks good when she's cold, and she looks beautiful when she's funny.
I always feel that when she grows up, she will be even more useless than Yang No.
"I heard that you had a collaboration with Mr. Hiratsuka?" Yukino sat up straight, and her long hair that had just fallen was combed behind her ears.
"Yes, there is. How did the minister know that?" Natsume Rin was very sure that it was not him who said it. After all, it would not sound good to tell such a thing to others.
"The teacher accidentally said it when he was showing off to me, but what can you cooperate with?"
...As expected, he seems quite unreliable. And what's so good about this that Hiratsuka-sensei has nothing to brag about?
“About the exam rankings.”
Natsume Rin felt that Yukino was definitely not a talkative person, and since the exam was over, she had nothing to hide and just told the whole story.
"I see." Yukino flipped through the book and said confidently, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? If I hadn't let him off easy on the exam, Natsume-san probably wouldn't have gotten to eat that meal."
Although she is not very ordinary, she is very confident.
Natsume Rin didn't want to provoke her, so she gently reminded Yukinoshita: "Buyer, there is a ranking in the entrance exam."
“Ahhhhhh.”
Yukinoshita Yukino folded her arms in front of her, exuding confidence, like an angel descending into the world.
"Is there really anyone who can give their best in a test like that? It won't affect anything anyway."
Still talking hard.
Natsume Rin made a judgment in her heart and looked at her without giving in.
Yukino realized his thoughts and tapped the table leisurely.
"It seems that Natsume-san doesn't agree with what I said."
"No, I simply feel that even if Minister Yukinoshita doesn't let me off in this exam, I will still be first."
"Hehe." Yukino laughed confidently.
Do you really think she was just daydreaming while staying in the activity room all day?
Natsume, you are so naive!
"What if you don't get first place?"
Chapter 49: There is no good end for being a tsundere!
How come we suddenly jumped to the development of the light novel's plot?
However, according to the development of the plot, what should happen next is that he easily defeats Miss Yukinoshita in the bet, proposes some embarrassing conditions, and then starts a happy love comedy!
Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel. The Second Miss is indeed suitable to be the heroine of a romantic comedy, but his current girlfriend might have some opinions about this.
The possible actions will also make Natsume realize that being alive is a beautiful thing.
"Yukinoshita-san, gambling is wrong."
"You're scared." Xueno showed a sarcastic smile on her face.
He endures it!
"Or do you want to admit that I am better than you in grades?"
You're getting too far, Minister Yukinoshita.
Natsume Rin looked at her with dissatisfaction, which instead stimulated Yukinoshita, and she put down the book with interest.
"If I rank higher than you, you have to promise me to be with Yang No."
He didn't even say he wanted to participate in this kind of gambling, so why did he propose punishment on his own initiative?
"Minister Yukinoshita, what good will it bring to you if we get back together?"
Natsume Rin asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
"Well." Yukino thought for a moment before answering.
"Because when you're not here, the house feels boring. I don't get along with my sister, and my mother is too serious. Although I'm not a person who likes to be lively, I'm still not used to the sound of Yang No's laughter when I return home."
Is he being treated as an atmosphere regulator?
"My move out was related to this incident. The villa was too big, and Yang Nai and her mother were often not at home. I felt a little bored staying there, so I found an opportunity to move out."
"Aren't you still alone?" Natsume Rin asked instinctively.
“The house is smaller, and it feels very different.”
After answering the question, she stared at Natsume, her meaning very clear.
She is absolutely confident of winning, so make a bet with her quickly.
"What if I win?" Natsume Rin thought about it.
"Although it's impossible, since you asked, I will mercifully allow you to make a request at will."
It feels like it would be unfair to Yukinoshita's rampant behavior if the following plot doesn't develop into an HIT. In order to teach her a profound lesson, Natsume Rin nodded calmly and revealed an evil smile.
"Minister, wait for your social death!"
She smiled indifferently, and that kind of confidence made Natsume feel a little guilty, but when he thought that the exams were over, he felt more confident.
……
In the last few days before the holiday, even though we were still in school, the atmosphere was obviously a lot more relaxed and the teacher was not as strict as before. Instead, he discussed with everyone the activities for the next semester.
In the first semester, they basically had no formal activities. According to Mr. Hiratsuka, the school intended to concentrate the activities in the next semester.
After studying the table of activities, Natsume calculated that there were about a few dozen days and began to sympathize with his peers next door.
However, this kind of decadent life needs to be experienced by him personally so that he can find a way to break it.
"…Remember to prepare for the parent-teacher conference, and be safe during the holidays." Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the excited faces in the classroom, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "I hope everyone can have a perfect holiday, and we will continue to work hard next semester."
"is teacher!"
Then cheers rang out in the classroom, and before Shizuka Hiratsuka could escape, the girls kept her back and asked her to take a photo with them.
As for the boys, they maintained a cool appearance on the surface, but their eyes clearly expressed their desire for this.
Really, it's just the holiday for the first year of high school, there's no need to make it like they're graduating from their senior year. Besides, Mr. Hiratsuka should still be teaching them next semester, so can't you just calm down?
After packing his schoolbag, Natsume Rin looked down on this group of high school students, tied his tie around his chest, and prepared to go to the supermarket.
When they set out today, Natsume's lovely dining partner made a list for him and asked him to remember to buy them after school.
Probably because both of them had plenty of time on vacation, Shiina Mahiru seemed to be planning to prepare a big meal, and the list was a long one.
"Natsume, let's take a photo!"
Natsume Rin, who was reciting the contents of the list in her mind, had just walked to the classroom door when she was pulled into the corridor by Totsuka.
There was no chance to talk at all, as several boys from the class gathered together and took a group photo.
In the photo, Natsume Rin smiled reluctantly and made a silly gesture, looking like she was just doing her job.
Seeing that Totsuka was still showing signs of continuing, Natsume Rin didn't dare to delay and walked quickly towards the exit of the building. If she continued to stay here, she would feel stupid.
Because there were too many items on the list, Natsume Rin went to a large supermarket, which was rare.
Mushrooms, tofu, corn, a lively fish, and some beef. As I continued to follow the list, I met an unexpected person around the corner.
"Minister, you should live far away from here, right?"
Judging from her attire, Yukino, who also came here just after school, has not changed out of her school uniform and has a bag on her shoulder.
Her cart also contained a variety of ingredients, but not as many as Natsume bought.
"What about you? You probably live quite far from here. And Natsume-san actually learned how to cook. Congratulations."
Yukino was also surprised to meet him here. She originally thought that he lived on bento in his daily life, but now it seems that he must have learned a lot of new things after running away from home.
"That's good to know. Besides, my skills are definitely not worse than yours."
Yukino smiled faintly, not believing what he said at all, but did not refute his idea.
Sometimes, letting others have fantasies is also a kind of gentleness. She is indeed a gentle girl!
"You bought so many things, are you planning on staying at home after the holidays?" Yukino glanced at the cart and followed him.
"This is just the amount for my one meal. Are you scared?" Natsume Rin kept looking for what she needed from the shelves.
