My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected

"Because it would be a waste if no one ate it."

As she spoke, she turned to look at the clock, and I followed suit. It was nearing evening, and the western sky outside the window was tinged with a thin layer of vermilion.

"Yukino, shouldn't you be getting ready to leave? We'll take care of things here."

Hearing this, Yukinoshita glanced at the clock. Although she didn't know the exact time they'd set off, it seemed like they should be leaving around this time. After a brief moment of thought, Yukinoshita nodded in response.

"That's true... then I'll trouble you... thank you."

Yukino smiled slightly and thanked her, to which Yuihama gently shook her head to indicate that it was no problem.

"Then let's go."

"……good."

Yukinoshita urged me on with her schoolbag, and I started packing to leave. Even though there wasn't much in the bag, it felt unusually heavy.

But Yukinoshita had already finished tidying up and was standing in front of the activity room waiting for me.

There was no other way but to grit my teeth and keep going... I finally let out a big sigh, stood up, and slung my backpack over my shoulder.

"I'll be going now, see you tomorrow."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Yuihama and Komachi waved to us, then Isshiki said "Thank you for your hard work" without even glancing in our direction. We opened the door and stepped into the hallway, watching them leave. Wait, there was one person who didn't see us off.

Just at this time.

"Ah, Yukino-nee, you forgot to bring this."

Komachi called out to Yukinoshita and ran over, carrying a small paper bag in her hand.

She carefully handed the paper bag to Yukinoshita. Yukinoshita looked at the bag in her hand, tilted her head in surprise, gently opened the bag and peeked inside, then suddenly smiled.

"Thank you so much, you've been a great help."

"No, no."

Komachi bowed respectfully, then stood at the door waving and saying, "Take care on your way." Inside the activity room, Yuihama was still waving her hand slightly, while Isshiki was still playing on her phone.

This time, we left the activity room with everyone watching us go.

No, it's just that one person didn't see me off. I don't really care, it makes things easier for me this way. I really don't care!

DB Bonus: High School Grade 3 New Chapter 1 Interlude

After watching her senior and Yukino leave, Xiaomi slowly closed the door.

For this reason, the activity room suddenly fell silent.

So when Yui-senpai lowered her hand that had just been waving, her soft sigh reached my ears clearly.

I glanced at my senior through my phone; a faint smile remained on her face. Her features were the same as usual, but perhaps because of the setting sun's glow, she looked somewhat lonely.

I pretended not to notice Yui's sigh and smile, and glanced at Xiaomi.

Then, for some reason, Xiaomi also sighed.

"...Is brother alright?"

"Don't worry so much."

Yui-senpai comforted the grumbling Xiaomi.

"No, I heard that Haruno-nee will be participating too."

Upon hearing this, I also sighed.

Yukino-senpai is beautiful, has a great figure, and a large bust—she's my ideal type. However, I don't quite understand her obsession with Yukino-senpai. There must be some complicated secrets between them, but what makes things even more complicated is the presence of the senior student. Putting Yukino-senpai aside, I think if the senior student gets involved, things will definitely become a complete mess.

"Ah—that'll definitely lead to a fight. I bet Perica and the others will have a huge argument on the way back."

Note: Perica is the currency of the underground kingdom in the Japanese manga "Gambling Apocalypse". 1 Perica = 0.1 Japanese Yen ≈ 0.006 Chinese Yuan

Upon hearing this, Xiaomi enthusiastically chimed in:

"Ah, if Komachi bets 1000 points, her brother will be stuck in the toilet forever. What should Yui-nee bet on?"

"No, I won't gamble..."

Our bet scared Yui-senpai a bit. But I understand her feelings. Besides, since her senior's defeat is a foregone conclusion, the bet is invalid. Most importantly, Xiaomi was just worried, but now she's joining me in the commotion—it's terrifying. What's wrong with this kid…?

We founded the Service Society together because we shared the same interests, but I still don't quite understand what she's thinking deep down.

As expected of her senior's sister... Just as I was lost in thought, Yui-senpai crossed her arms and tilted her head, seemingly thinking about something.

"But, a big fight... is unlikely."

"Really? Don't you think they're always arguing?"

From the moment I got involved with the Service Society, I felt that the two of them would argue for the rest of their lives.

Yui-senpai looked surprised upon hearing this, then laughed casually, "Hahahaha!" as if she had heard a very funny joke. "Ah, that's hilarious," she said, pressing her eye and smiling nonchalantly.

"No, that's not true. You're exaggerating. It wasn't even an argument. We just didn't speak to each other for about two weeks."

"Isn't this even worse...?"

"Wow, everyone around them has to accommodate them."

Xiaomi and I were both terrified.

How can this person talk about such a heavy topic with such ease...?

That being said, Yui-senpai actually thought that wasn't an argument, that's really amazing... no wonder she spent a year with those two...

As I pondered these things, I looked at the chairs where the two people had just sat.

"Those two are really troublesome, aren't they...?"

"My brother is already having a lot of trouble on his own..."

My motto is "Girls are all troublesome," but as Xiaomi said, male seniors are also quite troublesome, so what the senior said, "Humans are inherently troublesome creatures," can also be considered a motto.

In short, those two together are really troublesome... I don't dislike that about them, so it's okay.

But one code equals another.

The thought of the trouble that might befall us tomorrow made the air in the activity room feel murky.

"It's okay! There's absolutely no problem!"

Yui-senpai probably sensed that the atmosphere had become somber, so she smiled brightly and said...

"Is that so...?"

Xiaomi gave her a suspicious look, so Yui-senpai clenched her fist tightly in front of her chest, striking a victory pose.

"Yeah, you'll get used to it soon! It's not like it'll only be a day or two ago! It's just a regular thing now!"

Ugh, what a terrible answer. Are you some kind of freak of optimism? That's what I was thinking, but then I realized what she said was incredibly negative. I feel like if this person started working, she'd be exploited like crazy…

Of course, I wasn't the only one who was frightened; Xiaomi was also quite startled.

She slowly shifted her gaze away from Yui-senpai and asked me in a low voice:

"Um, Iroha-senpai, who should I give my club withdrawal application to?"

"I don't know. I'm not a member. Shouldn't it be handed over to the president? You are the president."

Towards the end, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Well, while things are getting complicated, I'd better not come here for now.

"Ah, I'm going to the student council now."

As I was saying this, I prepared to get up—

"Wait! Don't leave me behind!"

Xiaomi hugged my waist tightly.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Let go of me! I suddenly have two weeks' worth of work to catch up on..."

It could be three weeks, depending on the situation, but if things are more harmonious here than I expect, I can be back in about two days, so don't come looking for me.

I was talking nonsense and kept slapping her hand, trying to break free.

But Xiaomi held me tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Wait, wait a minute! Komachi was in the student council in junior high! She can definitely help! Take me with you!"

Honestly, this is so troublesome. There's no other way but to let her into the student council office for now—that's what I was thinking.

"Oh, but I think it should be fine."

Xiaomi and I couldn't help but look at each other, exchanging a knowing glance that seemed to say, "What do you think?" and "No, no, no, that can't be right." Considering her earlier flawed optimistic thinking, I felt it wasn't very believable.

"Eh—is that really true?"

Xiaomi and I said in unison, even our expressions of confusion were completely synchronized.

But this time, Yui-senpai gave us a warm and serene smile.

"Yeah, really. Because staying home shouldn't make you angry, at most you'll be so tired you'll look half-dead for two or three days, right?"

"Ahhhhhh..."

"I see," Xiaomi and I nodded, replying with a more cheerful tone.

After hearing what she said, I really couldn't imagine the senior being angry.

Although you can always hear him complaining, I don't think I've ever seen him openly show that he's unhappy; at least he doesn't make you feel like you can't approach him to talk.

Could it be said that he knows how to please himself? He might be quite mature in that respect, even though that's not the impression he gives off.

Besides, the senior was already half-dead, so another two or three days wouldn't make a difference, right?

Seeing that I nodded, Yui-senpai also nodded with a smile.

But her movements suddenly stopped, and her expression turned somber. Then, like a rusty robot, Yui slowly turned her head and looked towards the corner of the activity room.

Why do I suddenly have such a bad feeling...? I was trembling with fear when Yui-senpai told me something sad, albeit haltingly.

"But conversely, Yukino might very well get stuck on her own thoughts and become very depressed..."

""ah--……""

"I see..." Xiaomi and I lowered our heads and replied somewhat gloomily.

I completely agree; after all, I can picture that scene right away.

Yukino-senpai is usually efficient at work, a cool and beautiful woman who acts quickly and decisively. But once she gets involved with her senior, she becomes incredibly girlish, and even her mental fortitude becomes as fragile as a fish.

But that's what I like about her.

She has such a feminine feel to her that I absolutely adore her.

I think Yui-senpai is probably the same way. If she didn't like them, how could she possibly get along with them?

It's incredibly troublesome, but I just love it, there's no way around it.

Whew, I sighed softly. Just then, Xiaomi suddenly leaned over and whispered in my ear.

"Seriously, wouldn't the Service Club be more peaceful without Yui-nee?"

"Ah...you found out...?"

Seeing me nod with a wry smile, Xiaomi also showed a troubled smile and said, "That's true."

Wow, Yui-senpai is amazing!

Therefore, I like her.

I like girls who are in love and girls who are unwilling to give up. I like myself, so I generally like people like me.

We looked at Yui-senpai with a mixture of respect, encouragement, and gratitude in our eyes, but she stared uneasily out the window.

"...Yukino, are you alright?"

Her seemingly unintentional remark was accompanied by a tenderness far beyond that of an ordinary mother.

No, rather than saying she's amazing, it's more accurate to say that she's so amazing it's almost frightening, Yui-senpai...

I continued to stare at Yui-senpai, my gaze now tinged with astonishment and terror. The afterglow of the setting sun streaming in through the window enveloped Yui-senpai like holy light, so dazzling that I involuntarily squinted.

"Is this person an angel...?"

"She's already a goddess..."
