Happy times always pass in the blink of an eye. Lunch break quickly came to an end.
Maeda's knock on the door woke the two sleeping people.
Ai-chan was resting her head on Shin-chan's lap, and Shin-chan, leaning on the sofa, had also somehow fallen asleep.
The two, now awake, naturally met each other's gaze. The girl's blushing face said more than a thousand words. Shin-chan, who wasn't honest enough, also had flushed cheeks.
The just-awakened, dazed girl had too much of an unfair killing power.
Seeing Shin-chan turn his head away, unable to hide his slightly red cheeks, Ai-chan nodded in satisfaction.
Not liking kindergarten girls is normal, but not liking eighteen-year-old girls, now that's not normal. Ai-chan still had quite a bit of confidence in her own figure.
"It's time, Shin-chan. Time for class."
Ai-chan stood up, slightly worried. She had been lying on Shin-chan's lap for over an hour. Normally, it should be sore, maybe even numb. But Shin-chan didn't move an inch, afraid to wake her, truly too considerate.
When facing someone you like, people will always keep imagining things, basically self-romancing.
Shin-chan stretched lazily. He didn't feel anything special. His body constitution was far beyond normal. He just felt Ai-chan was soft and fragrant and slept very comfortably.
'As expected of Shin-chan, his body is this amazing!'
Seeing Shin-chan stand up like nothing happened, Ai-chan didn't know what she had imagined again, but her cheeks turned slightly red.
On this point, she and Eriri the doujinshi artist would definitely have common ground.
Afternoon classes were still just as boring. But since he had taken a nap at noon, Shin-chan didn't fall asleep during the afternoon classes.
"Shin-chan, I'm heading off first." Right after class ended, Kazama greeted Shin-chan, then left right away.
Coming to Shuchiin Academy to study was quite a bit of pressure for him. Plus, he had to visit the Sawamura household on the weekend, leaving even less time for cram school. These few days, he went straight to cram school after school and studied late into the night.
Although Japan promotes "happy education," if you want to get into a decent university, cram school is essential. Kazama had been attending various cram schools since childhood, so he was already used to it.
Shin-chan was just about to leave when he saw Yukino standing at the classroom door, as if waiting for someone.
"Nohara-kun, the clubroom application has been approved. Starting today, we begin club activities."
After saying that, she turned and left without a trace of sentiment, as if she had completely forgotten about eating sukiyaki with Shin-chan yesterday.
At school, Yukino was always like this, this was her protective coloration. Although Yukino's mother had asked her to make more friends at Shuchiin, to expand her network and lay a foundation for the family's future development...
But this really was too difficult for Yukino. Being able to communicate normally with Shin-chan at school was already a big breakthrough.
Shin-chan was quite interested in shares of Yukinoshita Real Estate. If he could complete this mission, he wouldn't be short on money for now.
From childhood to now, Shin-chan had rarely worried about money. His luck was always pretty good, he could basically get whatever he wanted.
Now that he had grown up and was living alone, relying only on the allowance from Hiroshi wasn't quite enough.
Shuchiin's clubrooms were plentiful. Once a club was officially founded, it would receive a fund to slightly remodel the clubroom.
If the club achieved results later, the student council would allocate even more funding.
There were even clubs like the Kendo Club. Though they had no real achievements, because kendo had a strong cultural influence in Japan, the student council still granted them a large amount of funds.
Yukino's Service Club had been created through Shizuka Hiratsuka pulling strings. Besides Shin-chan, she still needed to recruit three more members within a month, otherwise, the Service Club would be forcibly disbanded.
This was what Hiratsuka-sensei told Yukino when she gave her the key.
This made Yukino quite distressed, where was she supposed to find three more people to join the Service Club?
In her mind, the Service Club didn't need that many people anyway. Looks like this tough task would have to be handed over to Shin-chan to solve.
"Yukino-chan, what exactly does our club do?"
"Accept requests, help others, and from a deeper level, help them understand that they can solve problems on their own."
"Yukino-chan, don't you think you're a bit too arrogant?"
"I don't think so. Between people, there are differences. Many things are already determined from birth and cannot be changed."
"Take me, for example. Because I'm just too cute, I've been ostracized in all kinds of ways since elementary school. My indoor shoes have been hidden who knows how many times."
"Not just by boys, teachers, girls, even stray dogs joined in."
Looking at Yukino say these things with a straight face, Shin-chan was stunned for a moment. Then he couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.
"Hahahahaha! Yukino-chan, can you perform that again? That part where you said, 'I'm just too cute.'"
"You…"
Yukino was clearly angered by Shin-chan's reaction. Whether out of embarrassment or frustration, her face flushed all the way to her ears.
But Shin-chan could basically understand now why Yukino was so afraid of dogs and even learned Aikido. If someone tried to steal her indoor shoes now, she'd definitely use Aikido and follow up with a vicious over-the-shoulder throw.
After gaining the ability to protect herself, she wanted to help others. It looked arrogant, but in reality, it came from a kind nature and a pure heart that made her decide to do so.
"All right, Yukino-chan. I wasn't making fun of you."
"Logically speaking, your older sister looks a lot like you. When she was your age, did she have the same kind of experiences?"
Shin-chan's question made Yukino fall silent. She sat back in her seat, about to strike Shin-chan.
Haruno definitely never had such experiences, right? So her older sister couldn't understand her. She had always been chasing after her sister's footsteps, wanting to surpass her.
Rather than surpassing her sister, it was more like wanting to reconcile with the version of herself that had been ostracized in the past.
"But what's in the past is already over. Let's complete our request properly."
"What's our request now?"
Shin-chan shifted the topic, full of fighting spirit, and asked Yukino.
"The Service Club's first official request is to fix your personality."
"Huh? Isn't it to fix Yukino-chan's personality?"
Both Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukinoshita Haruno had asked Shin-chan to help correct Yukino's personality.
"…Was it my sister or Hiratsuka-sensei?"
Yukino instantly guessed, it had to be those two. She didn't believe there was anything about herself that needed correcting. That was the absolute correctness of Yukino.
