After completing her subtle act of upholding the minister's dignity, she didn't look at Su Qing's expression again, but instead shifted her gaze to the Ministry of Revenue:

"Get up, we can accept this request."

"Really? That's great!"

The Minister of Revenue looked up excitedly and even made a "yes" gesture to encourage the officials.

Anyone who didn't know better would think his confession had been successful...

"In short... we have seen your determination, but we cannot guarantee that your mind will remain the same."

"As always, of course as always! I only like Ebina now."

Before Yukino could finish speaking, Hobe couldn't help but interrupt.

[Now? Just? What kind of outrageous statement is this...]

Everyone present, except Su Qing, was speechless at the Ministry of Revenue's explanation.

"Not that 'Ruyi'." Yukino shook her head; it seemed getting the other person to understand in one go would be quite difficult.

"We can only affirm your determination at this moment, but can you guarantee that your determination will still be as firm as it was just now after tomorrow, and won't waver like it did at the beginning?"

"I... I should be fine, right?"

The Ministry of Revenue was actually somewhat uncertain about its own position.

Most importantly, given what he just did, who would believe him if he gave a definite answer?

"The fact that you yourself cannot give a definite answer speaks volumes." Yukino didn't care about Tobe's reaction.

"Therefore, once we determine that your resolve has changed, the commission will become invalid."

"If this cannot be accepted, then we are sorry that we cannot agree to it."

She needs to be responsible to her clients.

But before that, she was a minister, and therefore had to be responsible to her ministers.

Before Yukino could finish speaking and before Tobe could reply, Yukino felt another impact on her foot.

Without a doubt... it's Su Qing, that habitual offender, again!

[This is a war you started!]

As Yukino felt resentful, her gaze shifted.

Then, in her pupils, she saw once again the man with a gentle smile, watching his daughter grow up with the same satisfaction a father would show...

[Well done.]

Su Qing's voice has a very unique timbre.

It possesses both the gentle and refined qualities of a gentleman and the profound and calm charm of a deep pool.

That's why, at this moment, Yukino's mind automatically used the other person's voice from her memory to dub the unspoken words.

What panicked Yukino even more was that once she realized it, she couldn't stop no matter what.

It was as if that voice was deeply imprinted in the depths of her memory.

Is it just wishful thinking?

It's not just wishful thinking, is it?

Even if it's just wishful thinking, it doesn't matter.

Yukino grew up in the shadow of a girl named "Yinno".

Even if that shadow cherished her as well, a shadow is still a shadow.

Throughout her childhood, she never received a word of praise or encouragement from her relatives.

Even her loving father was like that.

Even if the aloof girl doesn't say a word, even if she is asked by others, she will suppress the ripples in her heart and then firmly shake her head.

But if one is truly resolute, how can there be any ripples?

Why...did I subconsciously want to get closer to him?

Yukino thought that she was probably sick.

"I can accept!"

Just then, Tobe's answer interrupted the strange thoughts that were growing in Yukino's mind.

However, some emotions, once planted, can become very difficult to change.

Its growth will spread rapidly, like a wildfire.

then.

It greedily absorbs all the nutrients around it.

Until one day it breaks through the soil, no one can stop it anymore.

The person who plants the seed is not good.

Those who cultivate seeds are even less suitable.

"In short, you are the only ones I can rely on. I hope you can help me."

The Ministry of Revenue once again earnestly requested this.

Faced with such a troublesome situation, even Hikigaya had to sigh inwardly and begin to plan how to increase the chances of a successful confession.

"I'll leave Xiang's matter to you. I have some things to attend to in the football department, so I'll be going now."

Although he knew this would be the outcome, Hayama couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

After handing over the Ministry of Revenue to the Ministry of Service, he found a suitable excuse to leave.

However, he still needed to put on a good show, and before leaving, he didn't forget to encourage the Ministry of Revenue:

"Keep it up. Try to cooperate with them as much as possible."

"Go ahead and do your work, don't worry about me."

The Ministry of Revenue expressed his gratitude to Hayama with great confidence, completely unaware of the complex thoughts that Hayama was having at that moment.

After Yeshan left, the members of the Service Department prepared to resolve this thorny issue.

"In that case, let's start by talking about your strengths or your charm."

After glancing at Hobe a few times, Yukino took out a notebook and pen from her bag, preparing to jot down some useful information.

"Um...you're friends with Hayato?"

After much deliberation, the Ministry of Revenue spoke.

"You're not the only friend of Hayama, are you? Are you really going to accept their confessions because of this?"

Although Su Qing was speaking to the Ministry of Revenue, her gaze drifted toward Yui.

[Turns out there are people in this world even dumber than you...]

Similar to spider-sense, humans are quite sensitive to the gaze of others.

Especially with Su Qing's amused expression at this moment, even if the other party didn't say anything.

Yui also accurately understood what Su Qing wanted to express.

[I'm not that stupid!!]

Yui ultimately couldn't bring herself to glare at Su Qing.

She could only maintain an unhappy expression, and to express her dissatisfaction more strongly, she took a cookie from her bag and stuffed it into Su Qing's mouth.

"eat……!"

Su Qing subconsciously opened his mouth, chewed a couple of times, and a sweet taste burst in his mouth.

[Why do the cookies in Yui's bag seem a little different from mine?]

"The cookies in your bag look a bit tastier?"

Su Qing couldn't help but ask.

"They're all the same."

Yui suddenly became a little nervous. Was Su Qing hinting at something to her?

She just couldn't quite understand what it meant.

In a moment of impulsiveness, she handed her bag of cookies to Su Qing, looking wronged like a bullied child:

"I'm full, you can have this bag too."

"Oh, thank you."

Su Qing silently accepted the cookies, but something felt off.

Why are you bullying her again?

Yukino, drawn by the commotion, reluctantly took out her cookies and said to Yui:

Let's eat together.

After saying that, he gave Su Qing a warning glare.

Don't even think about taking this bag!

"Her bag really tastes better than mine..."

Su Qing wanted to explain, but the next moment...

"I'm saying, you guys should consider that I'm still here!"

The Ministry of Revenue cried out in grief and indignation.

No wonder something felt off.

Oh, there was another blond guy too.

But it doesn't matter.

The service staff ate cookies.

The Ministry of Revenue is eating dog food.

Coca-Cola.

In short.

A world where only blond-haired guy gets hurt has been achieved! (Emphasis added)

Chapter 210 Things That Are a Matter of Taken for Granted

"That's true... Well then, you should have some too."

Hearing the Ministry of Revenue's shout, Su Qing pretended to have just noticed him, and then, under Hikigaya's puzzled gaze, took out a few cookies from his cookie bag and gave them to the Ministry of Revenue.

"Oh, thank you."

The Minister of Revenue subconsciously opened his hand to take the cookie, but seeing his obvious surprise, he forgot what he was originally going to say.

"Let's continue talking about the advantages of the Ministry of Revenue."

Su Qing changed the subject at the right time.

"Lively... talkative... with fluctuating emotions that are interesting... or something like that?"

Yukino supported her right elbow with her left hand, while her right hand gently rested on her chin—a subconscious gesture she made while thinking.

She uttered a few words haltingly. It wasn't that Yukino lacked language skills; it was simply that she couldn't see any obvious merits in the blond-haired man in front of her.

"His social skills are alright... wait, it would be more accurate to say he's naturally outgoing."

Hachiman thought for a moment and said that although being overly familiar can sometimes be troublesome, this skill is still somewhat useful in this society for non-technical jobs.

Besides, he can't do that, so Hachiman considers that a strength... right?

"Where are Totsuka and Yui?"

Yukino and Su Qing asked the two of them at the same time, in unison.

Their tacit understanding surprised the others.
