"Well, good evening, Natsume-san. Are you guys going to eat?" Ebina Hime came over, not treating herself as an outsider at all. "Do you mind taking me with you?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Yukino, waiting for her answer.
After all, she is the most difficult person to talk to. If she disagrees, it is useless for others to agree.
"mind."
As expected, Yukino isn't the type of person who would change her mind because of other factors.
"This is our department's party. If Ebina-san has nothing else to do, it would be best if he doesn't get involved."
Natsume Rin looked at her in surprise. Didn't they come out because they were too bored staying in the hotel? How come it turned into a department party in the blink of an eye?
I can only say that he is worthy of being the minister, as he said such things without any hesitation.
Ebina Hina looked very disappointed, but soon she became hopeful again. Facing the cold classmate Yukinoshita, she believed that the other party could help her solve the big problem.
"Yukinoshita-san, the purpose of your Servant Club is to help other students, right?"
and many more!
Sensing that something bad was going to happen, Natsume Rin jumped out and said sternly, "Ebina-san, we are not in school now. Please talk about the club after you get back. You can make an appointment in advance now."
He didn't want his rare school break to turn into a journey to solve problems for others.
"Hey, didn't you just say it was a department party?" Hina Ebina puffed up her cheeks, and her rustic glasses also bulged.
"A party is a party, but it doesn't mean we have to work. There's no reason to work before eating." Natsume Rin was not to be outdone.
He also worked hard for his vacation.
But the problem is that what Natsume Rin is most worried about is Yukino. She has never been able to refuse a classmate who is eager to help.
This time was no exception. Although he didn't agree directly, he had softened his stance of refusing her to come have dinner together.
"Ebina-san, during dinner, please tell us if there is anything you need help with, and we will make a judgement based on the situation."
"Okay!" Ebina agreed happily.
Minister, Minister, can't you just calm down during the holidays?
Natsume Rin looked at this workaholic with disappointment, and seemed to feel that she was not much in the right. Yukino poked her hand guiltily, then looked up cautiously and looked into Natsume Rin's eyes.
Looking pitiful, but a little stubborn, like a child who has been wronged.
Don't look at me like that, it's as if I'm bullying you.
Natsume Rin looked away with a cold face, and his attitude had obviously softened.
The triumphant Yukino stared at Mahiru, her eyes clearly showing off.
Chapter 134 The heroine appears
They continued walking forward, this time no longer with the mindset of traveling, and the restaurant decision was made much faster.
However, I was not so hungry as to stop at a fast food restaurant. At least I stopped in front of a small restaurant with Kyoto characteristics and prepared to go in.
"welcome."
As soon as I opened the door, I was welcomed. Although it was late, there were several tables of customers sitting in the store. Judging from their dress and behavior, they were not local people from Kyoto.
"Since I'm asking you guys in the service department for a favor, I'll pay for tonight's meal." Ebina Hina volunteered after sitting down.
Natsume Rin's eyes lit up and she circled the first row of the menu.
"Waiter, take everything except the part I crossed out!"
"Don't be like this, this is my pocket money. And Natsume-san, it's not good to eat so much so late at night!" After seeing the prices on the menu clearly, the confident Hime Ebina's face suddenly turned unhappy.
Her idea and desire to treat everyone was real, but who knew that Natsume would not treat her as an outsider.
"It's okay. Even if you can't finish it, you can take it home. I'm sure others will like it." Natsume Rin rubbed her hands expectantly. "It wouldn't be bad to give it to classmates as a midnight snack. Ebina-san, you're such a good person."
"Natsume-san, you are even better! So please stop."
"No, it was clearly Ebina-san who said so. I'm just acting according to your request. Don't pull me. It's useless even if you beg me!"
Natsume Rin sternly rejected Ebina's request and was ready to ask the waiter to prepare so much food.
"Stop messing around." Shiina Mahiru knocked on his head to make Natsume Rin quiet down. "You don't have to listen to him. Just follow the normal food amount."
Yukino, who had been studying the menu since she sat down, made the decision for them.
"Let's go to Kiyomizu-dera Temple tomorrow!"
The voices of the travel group next to us suddenly became louder. "I heard that the marriage fortune sticks at the Jishujinja Shrine over there are very effective. Let's test our future fate."
Hearing the word "fate", the expressions of Shiina Mahiru and Ebina Hime became complicated at the same time. Before the ordered food was served, Ebina, who was sitting next to Yukino, looked at Yukino seriously.
"Yukinoshita-san, what I need your help with may be complicated..."
"Is it Tobu who wants to confess to you? And you don't want to agree?" Natsume Rin casually said something that might be very complicated. When facing the different looks from the three girls, she shrugged innocently.
"I told you I was smart, but you didn't believe me."
"Even Natsume-san knows about it. Wouldn't those idiots make it known to everyone before taking any action?" Ebina Hina slumped over the table, looking as if she had given up resisting.
"How did you know."
Seeing Ebina's reaction and confirming that Natsume Rin was right, Yukino looked at him puzzledly while pouring tea for everyone.
Even Shiina Mahiru was puzzled. She had only heard some rumors. Natsume Rin, who did not have a good relationship with Hayama and the others, should not know about it.
"Because I'm very smart. Ebina-san doesn't have to be so depressed. In fact, many people don't know. In fact, I just guessed."
After thanking the minister for the tea, Natsume Rin explained her analysis.
He was sure that the person he wanted to confess to was not Hayato Hayama, but since that guy was so concerned about it, he must have a very close relationship with that person, so the scope of possible men was narrowed a lot.
He remembered clearly the boys' little movements and looks this morning at Kiyomizu Temple. When Tobe Sho was there, Ayaka and the class monitor, who were obviously aware of the situation, seemed very strange.
Originally, he couldn't be sure who the heroine was, but when he saw Ebina, who was dragged along to draw fortunes, appear here, everything became clear.
"It turns out it hasn't been leaked yet." Her tone was complicated, and it was unclear whether she was happy or sad.
The food that Yukino ordered was served. Most of them were light meals that suited her taste. Only the one in front of Natsume was a pork chop that looked very tempting.
As expected of a minister, he even took everyone's taste into consideration.
"Don't you, Ebina-san, like Tobe? In that case, why not just reject him?" Shiina Mahiru gave her advice.
She had encountered many confession incidents before, but after she rejected many confession incidents without hesitation, such incidents became less frequent. She spent the first half of high school in a girls' school, so of course she didn't have such troubles. After transferring to Sobu High School, she had many scandals with Natsume Rin, and not many people would be so tactless.
"If the problem could be solved so easily, Ebina wouldn't have come to us." Yukino drank the soup and felt that even though it was a small shop, the taste was above average.
"It's like this, I don't have any intention of falling in love right now, but I'm worried that this rejection will make Tobe-san feel discouraged." Ebina Hina said faintly.
"I don't want anyone to leave our group because of my personal reasons. We are all good friends, but we are just friends. Who knew that Tobe Xiang would suddenly have the idea of confessing his feelings?"
"The fortune he drew at Kiyomizu Temple this morning was clearly a bad fortune, but he still hasn't given up on it."
Listening to her madly complaining about this matter, Natsume Rin, who had almost figured out the whole thing, looked at Yukino.
"Give it up. We are not suitable to get involved in this kind of thing."
What he hated most was people who were hesitant and indecisive. It seemed that Ebina Hime still hoped to find a way to not hurt anyone in this dilemma, which made Natsume Rin even more annoyed.
Because he is that kind of person too.
Although Hina Ebina clearly doesn't like Tobe Sho, she can't reject him openly because of the relationship between the real-life group and is worried that it will hurt the relationship between the team. So she finds the Service Club again and almost asks them to be the bad guys.
Well what does that mean.
His persuasion with his eyes was effective, but obviously not very effective. Yukino hesitated, but still asked that question in the eager eyes of Ebina Hime.
"So Ebina-san, what do you want to do?"
"I don't know either, but I would like everyone in the Service Club to help cancel this confession."
"Let Ye Shan go. He has such a good relationship with the Ministry of Household Affairs. As long as we explain the situation clearly, the Ministry of Household Affairs will give up." Natsume Rin spoke first.
Ebina Hina smiled bitterly, with undisguised worry on her quiet face.
"Ye Shan is a man who is as hesitant as I am when making choices. It's harder to get him to tell his best friend not to confess than to kill him. Every time I talk to Miura, I say I've tried my best to hint, but that idiot Tobe doesn't take any hints at all!"
Chapter 135 You must come tomorrow
"So what Ebina-san wants us to do is expose everything?" Shiina Mahiru reacted and her gaze towards Ebina became strange.
Even Hayato Hayama, who was a close friend of theirs, didn't dare to do this. If they did so, Tobe Sho would definitely hate them to death.
Although she didn't care about the feelings of this passerby character, Shiina Mahiru still felt a little uncomfortable being used as a gun like this.
"It's not necessary to do this..." Feeling guilty, Hina Ebina rubbed her hands, not knowing how to argue.
In fact, she herself had no good ideas, otherwise she would not have delayed it until today. When she saw that Hubu Xiang was about to take action, she desperately sought help from the Service Department.
"There is no room for hesitation when it comes to love, and it would be best if you were the one to respond. Someone like Tobe-san wouldn't cut off contact with you just because your confession failed, right?"
When saying these words, Shiina Mahiru clearly put herself into the situation. She felt that it was because of her own hesitation in feelings that her relationship with Natsume had not made any progress.
"If it was a private confession, I do believe Hu Bu would not do that, but it was a carefully prepared action with everyone present. If he was rejected, he would definitely be embarrassed to death."
Given Natsume Rin's understanding of high school students' face, this kind of thing is not impossible to happen.
The matter is more complicated than it seems, and it is now up to the minister to make the final decision.
"You don't like him, but you still want to keep him as your friend." Yukino repeated Ebina's point of view.
"Yes, Yukinoshita-san."
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Natsume Rin with an inquiring gaze, causing him to sigh helplessly.
"Minister, I can't help with everything, especially emotional matters. Most of the time, it's a thankless task."
"I know." She blinked her eyelashes, and her words were slow and weighty after careful consideration.
"I was just wondering if there is any way to help Ebina-san solve this problem without hurting the members of the Service Club."
Natsume Rin looked at Yukino in surprise, a little bit unable to believe that she would say such words.
Yukino, who usually only cares about completing her tasks, actually considers the mental health of her members?
You have to know that she used to be a complete workaholic who didn't even care about herself.
