"If he happens to like multiple girls at the sa ti, and you're one of them… what will you do then, Yukino-chan?"
Haruno's words left Yukino completely silent.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Yukino unconsciously wrapped her arms around herself.
What should she do?
Yukino asked herself, but she couldn't find an answer.
With her upright personality, she could never accept a lover's betrayal.
But if she were to be told to stay away from Yukima Azuma…
For Yukino, that would be no different from being thrown back into hell.
After all, could she really compete with other girls?
Though Yukino wasn't the type to be insecure.
To be precise, she was quite confident in her own beauty.
At the sa ti, she took pride in her natural talent.
But to Yukima Azuma, those things might not even be an advantage.
The girls around him all had outstanding beauty.
As for talent?
Who would dare call themselves a genius in front of a Laplace Demon?
Setting those things aside, Yukino suddenly realized that the connection between her and Yukima Azuma wasn't actually that strong.
At least, compared to Kato gumi and the others who studied and lived alongside him at the ho and academy.
She was still soone with fewer chances to interact with him.
Yukino thought of "Saekano".
Yukima Azuma had once written a love letter like that.
Yukino wasn't as foolish as Eriri, so of course, she understood the implication within that light novel.
Perhaps, she had already lost a long ti ago.
That thought made Yukino's eyes montarily darken.
"Even Yukino-chan doesn't know what to do, huh?"
"That doesn't sound like sothing you should say."
"But have you ever considered staying by that boy's side along with the other girls?"
Haruno spoke while glancing at Yukino.
Hearing her sister's question, Yukino was completely dumbfounded.
What was this?
A harem?
That was utterly ridiculous.
This wasn't a light novel world.
"Are you joking? Not just , but the others wouldn't agree either."
"Besides, Azuma-kun would never..."
Before Yukino could finish her sentence.
Haruno interrupted her:
"Never? Yukino-chan, do you want to think it over more carefully?"
"Yukino-chan, you know by now, right? Yukima Azuma is the boy who ca to our house back then."
Hearing that, Yukino fell silent again.
Yukima Azuma was the one who had visited the Yukinoshita household back then.
The boy who negotiated with Mrs. Yukinoshita, wanting his na to be recorded under the Yukinoshita family.
Yukino knew very well what had happened to the Yukima family.
That boy no longer had a single blood relative in this world.
Or perhaps, from the very beginning, he never had any family at all.
Yukino recalled hearing that Yukima Azuma had been sent to Tokyo since elentary school.
The car passed through the streets, with Yukima's house on one side.
But Haruno didn't stop.
The car quickly passed the mansion, continuing forward, taking another round.
"Yukino-chan, can't you see? That boy, no matter how much he uses maturity and intellect to conceal himself…"
"Deep inside, he is still unbearably lonely, like an abandoned child."
As Haruno spoke these words.
Her eyes flickered slightly, barely noticeable.
As if she was peeling open an old wound, suppressing the pain.
Why did Haruno understand Yukima Azuma's true state so well?
The answer was very simple.
Because that night, after she had "swallowed him whole."
After the boy fell asleep, he held her tightly.
Pressed his cheek against her neck.
As if he wanted to bind her to himself at all costs.
Afraid that with just one careless mont, she would leave him behind.
A deep attachnt that could never be erased.
When Haruno was embraced, she felt as if her entire heart had been filled.
She just kept looking at Yukima Azuma all night.
Until the morning light crept into the hotel room.
She was forced to remove the arms of the boy who was tightly holding onto her.
That was also Haruno's first ti.
If she truly didn't care, she wouldn't have risked jumping from the second floor of the banquet hall, despite the possibility of breaking her leg.
The boy's attachnt was like the sweetest candy in the world.
Once tasted, it had to be given up forever.
That morning felt like a knife slicing through Haruno's heart.
But she had no other choice.
At that ti, the boy was still just a part-ti banquet hall worker.
If Haruno had truly stayed and confird her relationship with Yukima Azuma.
The Yukinoshita family would have delivered a fatal blow to him.
After leaving, Haruno could only lick her wounds in silence.
She just never expected that—
One day in the future.
When she t that boy again.
He had built an entire fortress from nothing.
Stepped into a position where he no longer had to fear the Yukinoshita family.
And even sheltered her younger sister under his wings.
As soone who loved her sister to an extre degree.
She couldn't help but feel jealous of her own sister.
She was clearly the one who ca first!
On one side was her most beloved younger sister.
On the other was the boy with whom she had shared her first ti.
The sum of two happinesses should have been the most beautiful dream.
Why did it turn out like this!?
Those bitter lines from White Album unconsciously surfaced in Haruno's mind.
This made her start to doubt—
When that boy created that ga.
Had he already foreseen this exact situation?
Damn it, why are you so skilled at this!?
Haruno's thoughts beca chaotic.
Yukino wasn't much better off.
Though not as deeply as Haruno—
She had still been with him for a year.
Regarding Yukima Azuma's issues, Yukino had also noticed so signs.
When dealing with those around him, the boy always seed excessively eager to please.
As if he was afraid they would leave him.
The car went around for the third ti.
Haruno collected her thoughts and asked once again:
"Yukino-chan, are you still hesitating?"
Yukino's eyelashes lowered slightly.
"I don't know, it's just… thinking about him being with soone else makes my stomach hurt."
"But if I really had to stay away from him… I can't even imagine it."
Hearing that, the corners of Haruno's lips curled up.
It seed that the situation was much better than she had expected.
She had already prepared herself for the possibility that her younger sister would stubbornly resist to the end with that strong-willed personality of hers.
But it turned out that boy was truly the embodint of a seductive demon.
His power was formidable.
Even the iron-hard personality of her sister had been bent slightly.
That significantly lowered the difficulty.
"As soone with experience, I have a piece of advice for you, Yukino-chan."
"Actually, only when you abandon your original feelings—that is the true betrayal."
"If your feelings remain unchanged from start to finish, and you simply develop new emotions, then it's not that big of a deal, right?"
Hearing her sister's justification.
Yukino just stared blankly.
Was that really true?
If Haruno had said these words from the beginning.
Yukino would have imdiately retorted with sharp words.
But now, her head was in a complete ss because of Yukima Azuma.
On the left side of her mind was flour, on the right was water—one slight movent and it would turn into a pile of mush.
To the point that even such absurd words started to seem sowhat reasonable.
When the car once again stopped in front of Yukima's House.
Haruno slowly brought it to a halt.
"Alright, it's been a long ti since we last t. Talking with Yukino-chan was really fun."
"It's getting quite late, Yukino-chan, hurry inside."
Yukino gently nodded, stepping out of the car in a daze.
Watching her younger sister absentmindedly walk toward Yukima's house.
Haruno stuck out her tongue.
"Oh dear, my adorable little sister, there's no other way—I'll have to trouble you a little."
"But then again, that guy flirts around everywhere, so you can't bla ."
Haruno mumbled to herself.
Back then, due to practical reasons, she had to leave Yukima Azuma.
But now, the Yukinoshita family could no longer threaten him.
Whether it was out of jealousy or the emotions stirring in her heart.
Haruno truly couldn't just stand by and watch anymore.
No matter how shaless it made her seem, she had to get back in the ga.
And now, the biggest obstacle—
Was none other than her own younger sister.
If Yukino couldn't accept it—
Haruno would have no choice but to quietly back down.
Otherwise, even she wouldn't be able to overco the barrier in her heart.
In any case, the first step was to coax her little sister into accepting the harem, then take it from there.
By that point, compared to letting him fall into the hands of other won—
Wouldn't it be much better for us sisters to take the prize?
—
Yukino used the key to unlock the front door.
As soon as she stepped into Yukima's house.
An irresistibly delicious aroma imdiately hit her, making her swallow involuntarily.
"Why are you ho so late today? Good thing I made extra soup tonight—it's fine to reheat it a little."
Yukima Azuma poked his head out from the kitchen. "Co eat."
Seeing that boy, Yukino's heart trembled slightly.
Earlier, when she wasn't with him, she already felt like she couldn't bear to be apart.
Now that she had just laid eyes on him—
That feeling beca even stronger.
The ever-righteous Yukino had finally fallen victim to beauty's charm.
Tonight, Yukima Azuma had made corn and pork rib soup.
As soon as Yukino sat down at the table, Yukima Azuma brought over a large bowl of ribs.
"Azuma-kun went to Shuchiin today, right? How was it?"
Yukino's mind was still a ss. Not wanting Azuma to ask why she was ho late—afraid she might accidentally let sothing slip—
She quickly found a topic to start the conversation first.
"Umu, it went really well. Let tell you about it..."
Yukima Azuma started recounting the interesting events at Shuchiin.
At first, Yukino was still lost in thought, but gradually, she was drawn into the boy's lively storytelling.
From ti to ti, she covered her mouth and chuckled. Before she knew it, the uneasiness in her heart had faded away.
