Bab 50: Ch 50. Energetic Yui

"..."

Seeing Yuigahama at the corner, Yukinoshita stiffened. She quickly freed herself from Hoshimi's grasp and stood up.

After stabilizing herself, she didn't forget to kick Hoshimi in frustration. It was this blabbermouth who caused the current situation, he deserved it!

Hoshimi silently noted this in his mind, planning to find a chance to get back at her.

Then, he slowly got up from the ground, dusting off his clothes while openly eavesdropping on the conversation between Yukinoshita and Yuigahama.

"Yuigahama-san..." Yukinoshita took a few steps forward, standing two meters away from Yuigahama.

Yukinoshita hesitated, unsure how to explain what Yuigahama had just witnessed.

She deliberated, considering, and finally chose to change the subject. "Yuigahama-san, I'm sorry about yesterday."

"Huh? Yesterday?" Yuigahama blinked in confusion, expecting Yukinoshita to explain what just happened. Hearing Yukinoshita apologize out of the blue left her momentarily at a loss.

"Yes, yesterday I forgot to inform you and Hikigaya-kun that the Service Club's activities were canceled, making you wait for nothing. That was my fault, I apologize."

Seeing Yukinoshita bow slightly in apology, Yuigahama quickly waved her hands. "It's fine, Yukinon, you don't have to worry about it. Hikki and I didn't wait for long, so it's no big deal, and I..."

Yuigahama instinctively glanced at Hoshimi, unsure whether to say what she knew.

She and Hikki had already seen Yukinon with Hoshimi at the tennis courts after school yesterday...

If she said it, she wouldn't be able to explain why she didn't greet Yukinon or ask about the Service Club activities when she saw them.

But if she didn't say...

"Yuigahama-san?"

Noticing Yuigahama's silence, Yukinoshita straightened up, looking at her in confusion.

Seeing that Yuigahama's gaze was on Hoshimi, Yukinoshita frowned and discreetly moved to block Yuigahama's view of him.

"Yukinon, sorry, I spaced out..."

Sensing Yukinoshita's action, Yuigahama explained quietly, avoiding her gaze.

Yukinon was blocking her view. Did she not want her to see Hoshimi?

As she thought about it, the scene she had witnessed earlier flashed n Yuigahama's mind. Yukinon sitting in a rather undignified manner on Hoshimi, both looking at her in surprise when she appeared.

She knew Yukinon and Hoshimi weren't doing anything inappropriate; they were just... just...

Yuigahama racked her brain to find the right words.

'Playing around.'

Yes, they were just playing around, a normal playful interaction between a boy and a girl.

But... when it came to Yukinon, it didn't seem normal. With her cold demeanor that kept others at a distance, Yuigahama had never seen Yukinon close to anyone.

Even as her friend, Yukinon always addressed her as "Yuigahama-san."

So, she couldn't imagine Yukinon playing around with someone.

When she first saw it, she thought she was dreaming...

But it turned out to be real...

What exactly was the relationship between Yukinon and Hoshimi? Why was Yukinon, who always talked about getting back at Hoshimi, playing so intimately with him?

Moreover, Yukinon seemed to call Hoshimi by his name directly, never adding any honorifics from the start.

As she pondered this, Yuigahama's eyes no longer evaded, and they gradually dimmed.

Yukinon and Hoshimi's relationship might not be simply defined as "adversarial"; it might be deeper than she had seen...

"Yuigahama-san? What's wrong?"

Seeing Yuigahama silently hanging her head, Yukinoshita frowned deeply.

Why did Yuigahama become like this as soon as she blocked Hoshimi?

Could it be that something happened between Hoshimi and Yuigahama recently?

Was it in the dream?

No, it couldn't be the dream. She had been in Hoshimi's dream recently and didn't see anyone else.

Could it have been before her?

No, that wasn't it either. If Yuigahama had known Hoshimi earlier in the dream, their interaction wouldn't be like this.

If it wasn't this or that, why did Yuigahama suddenly become so dejected?

Feeling somewhat irritated, Yukinoshita glanced back at Hoshimi. If this jerk were in this situation, he would definitely know why Yuigahama was feeling down.

"..."

Hoshimi, silent in the back, had a rather peculiar and amusing smile on his face.

He took a few steps forward, standing right behind Yukinoshita, and whispered in her ear, "Yukinoshita, you're such a sinful woman~"

"Huh???" Yukinoshita looked at Hoshimi in total confusion, completely not understanding what this jerk meant.

She was sinful? Then Hoshimi should be sent to the eighteenth level of hell!

How could this jerk even have the face to say that?

"Click--click--"

Just as Yukinoshita was puzzled, soft footsteps came from the corner.

She temporarily set aside her confusion and looked toward the corner.

A moment later, a dispirited Hikigaya walked out.

Seeing the three of them, Hikigaya paused, looking at them in suspicion.

Two steps ahead of him stood Yuigahama. Opposite her was Yukinoshita, with Hoshimi behind her.

Hoshimi and Yukinoshita were very close. From his angle, it seemed as if Hoshimi could pull Yukinoshita into his arms at any moment.

"Hikigaya-kun, you're here too. Perfect, I can inform both of you at once."

Seeing Hikigaya, Yukinoshita took the initiative to start a conversation, taking the opportunity to observe Yuigahama's state.

Until now, she still had no clue why Yuigahama had suddenly become so dejected.

"Yuigahama-san, Hikigaya-kun, the Service Club activities might be paused for a while."

As soon as Yukinoshita finished speaking, Yuigahama raised her head, looking at Yukinoshita in astonishment.

Paused? Why?

Full of confusion, Yuigahama couldn't help but ask, "Yukinon, why pause the club activities? Is it because..."

She instinctively glanced at Hoshimi.

Since Yukinoshita was right in front of him and Hoshimi was a head taller, Yuigahama's eyes met Hoshimi's as soon as she looked up.

"..." Hoshimi blinked, his crimson eyes seemingly trying to convey some message to Yuigahama.

But Yuigahama, not being very familiar with Hoshimi, couldn't understand his meaning. She looked at him in confusion.

Seeing that eye contact wasn't working, Hoshimi raised his hands, making a biceps flexing pose.

Yuigahama was still bewildered...

"Sigh~"

Seeing Yuigahama's gaze lingering above her head, Yukinoshita sighed softly.

She bent her arm and gave Hoshimi an elbow jab.

"Oof~~" Hoshimi winced, quickly pulling back and clutching his side.

"Hoshimi, can you go wait somewhere else? Don't stand behind me causing trouble, okay?"

"Alright~" Eyeing Yukinoshita's poised elbows, Hoshimi agreed, clutching his side.

He noted this grudge, adding it to the previous ones and those to come. Tonight's retribution list was growing quite long.

"Yuigahama-san, let me explain why the club activities are being paused."

Once Hoshimi moved aside, Yukinoshita began explaining to Yuigahama and Hikigaya.

"Hoshimi and I are participating in the mixed doubles tennis for the upcoming sports festival, but Hoshimi knows nothing about tennis, so I need to 'teach' him in preparation for next week's event."

'Additionally, this is a rare chance to get back at him. I can thoroughly enjoy my revenge while 'teaching' him.'

Yukinoshita thought for a moment but didn't voice the latter part.

Firstly, because Hoshimi was still there listening.

Secondly, Yuigahama and Hikigaya knew about her animosity toward Hoshimi, so they could probably guess her intentions.

"..." Yuigahama looked at Yukinoshita, then at Hoshimi, as if she understood something.

She pursed her lips and quietly asked, "Yukinon, will the club activities continue after the sports festival?"

"Yes." Yukinoshita confirmed.

"Good... that's good..." Yuigahama murmured, lowering her head.

"Huff~ huff~"

Then, Yuigahama closed her eyes and took two deep breaths.

The next moment, she looked up at Yukinoshita with a bright smile, energetically saying, "Yukinon! Good luck! You must get first place!"

Bab 51: Ch 51. Teaching Stick, Tennis and Camera

"..." Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment before nodding lightly.

With her lack of physical stamina and Hoshimi's barely passable tennis skills, winning the mixed doubles tennis championship was going to be a tall order...

"Hoshimi-kun, I'll leave Yukinon to you! Good luck! Make sure you win the championship! Yukinon has a very strong competitive spirit!" The energetic Yuigahama turned to Hoshimi, cheering him on.

"No problem, Yukinoshita and I are pretty strong." Hoshimi replied with a peculiar look after glancing at Yukinoshita.

"Good luck! We'll leave you two to it then!"

"Hikki, let's go!"

With a smile, Yuigahama left with Hikigaya without any further delay.

Watching the two disappear around the corner, Yukinoshita couldn't shake the feeling that something was off...

She crossed her arms and rested her chin on one hand, lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about? Aren't you supposed to 'teach' me?"

Hoshimi, his odd expression now replaced with a cheerful one, walked over to Yukinoshita.

"..." Yukinoshita glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, still feeling a sense of dissonance.

Her brow furrowed as she pondered, growing more and more irritated.

Moments later, she kicked Hoshimi's leg and said coldly, "Let's go to the tennis court."

Forget it. She didn't want to think about it anymore. As long as Yuigahama was fine, her top priority was still to get back at Hoshimi.

She needed to blow off some steam at the tennis court. Today, she had specially prepared a teaching stick. She'd take her revenge with a few lashes first.

...

Meanwhile, pushing their bikes, Hikigaya and Yuigahama walked in silence along the street.

"Hikki, have Hoshimi-kun and Yukinon made up?"

Waiting at a red light, Yuigahama finally broke the silence between them.

"..." Hikigaya remained silent.

After a long pause, and with the green light signaling them to go, he mumbled indistinctly, "I don't know."

He really didn't know. Maybe things weren't as Yuigahama thought; perhaps there was more to it.

But without understanding the hidden details, he couldn't give a definite answer.

"Really? You don't know either, Hikki? I thought you knew everything..." Yuigahama stepped onto the crosswalk.

Hikigaya pushed his bike and followed, retorting, "The one who knows everything isn't me; it's Yukinoshita. I don't know much at all."

"Hehe~ You're right. Yukinoshita is really amazing, knowing everything. She's like an encyclopedia," Yuigahama praised with a laugh.

But the encyclopedia that knew everything also kept everything to herself...

"..." Hikigaya stayed silent, not responding.

Yuigahama didn't speak again either, her thoughts drifting away.

Once more, silence fell between them.

After some time, Yuigahama stopped, smiling as she stood at the roadside.

"I'm home now, Hikki. See you."

"Yeah, see you."

With a clear mind, Hikigaya watched her leave before continuing on alone, pushing his bike.

Reaching an uphill road, he paused, gazing at the bustling city.

Yukinoshita Yukino's youth had finally taken on a different hue. The 'Snow Woman' trapped in the Service Club had been led out of her isolation.

But when the 'Snow Woman' left her self-imposed island, what would happen to Yuigahama, who had willingly entered it?

Would Yuigahama's youth lose a color? He didn't know.

He only knew that with the Service Club activities suspended, he could enjoy a period of peace and quiet.

And when the club resumed, he might have to adjust to its changed dynamics.

With one last look at the bustling city, Hikigaya continued up the hill.

This uphill road... it's really tiring...

...

At the Sobu High tennis court.

"Thwack--- Thwack---"

"Thwack---"

The sound of the ball hitting the racket was crisp.

At the moment, Hoshimi was practicing with the wall, honing his forehand and backhand strokes while also reinforcing the tennis footwork Yukinoshita had just taught him.

"Thwack--"

The next moment, Hoshimi's cross-step was a beat too slow, and the ball brushed past him.

"Smack--"

Yukinoshita, who had been waiting, stepped forward quickly and lashed Hoshimi's butt with the teaching stick.

"Ah~~" The pain made Hoshimi gasp, and he turned to silently stare at Yukinoshita.

"What are you looking at? Keep practicing," Yukinoshita, now in her tennis outfit, said with a sadistic smile.

"Hoshimi, I think I should remind you that hitting too hard isn't good," Hoshimi, eyes narrowed and smiling, gave a sinister warning.

"Hmph~" Yukinoshita scoffed, striking Hoshimi's leg with the stick again. "A strict teacher produces outstanding students. Without a little force, how will you remember your mistakes?"

"And another thing..." Yukinoshita crossed her arms and slightly tilted her chin up, exuding arrogance. "If your skills don't improve, how can you team up with me? Since we signed up, I don't want to return empty-handed."

"..." Hoshimi narrowed his eyes, staring at Yukinoshita.

Yuigahama wasn't wrong; Yukinoshita did have a strong competitive spirit.

Yukinoshita genuinely wanted to train him harshly and take him along to achieve a good result in the mixed doubles.

"Why are you still looking at me? Go practice." Yukinoshita raised her stick again but then decided to kick Hoshimi's leg instead.

"Alright." Hoshimi smiled, picked up his racket, and continued practicing.

Watching his back, Yukinoshita felt no fear.

She knew Hoshimi would undoubtedly seek revenge a hundredfold in the dream world tonight, but so what? Would she give up her revenge because of that?

No! She had to intensify her efforts!

There was no way out through retreat!

If Hoshimi dared to do it, she had to be ready to do it even more!

Hoshimi's revenge might be intense, but it was just a dream. Even if it hurt, it would subside after a while upon waking.

But reality was different. One was one, two was two, with no discounts whatsoever.

So, no matter how you looked at it, she was coming out ahead!

"Thwack---"

Hoshimi missed the ball again, and Yukinoshita stepped forward, lashing him once more with the stick.

"Smack--"

The crisp sound filled Yukinoshita with such joy that it nearly overflowed from her eyes.

This is exhilarating!

The pleasure of revenge never gets old!

"..." Taking another hit, Hoshimi picked up the ball and pondered his mistake.

There was a problem with his footwork; it could still be improved.

The force of his shot was a bit too much, and the hitting area was off, causing the ball to rebound far off course.

After correcting himself, Hoshimi continued practicing earnestly.

The pain from the teaching stick? He could endure it. He just needed to keep practicing and learning. Once he could start rallying with Yukinoshita, the real game would begin.

"Thwack--"

"Thwack--"

With each crisp hit, the sweating Hoshimi's face was filled with an exceptionally rare look of seriousness.

Standing to the side, Yukinoshita watched the now-focused Hoshimi with an indifferent expression.

So, it hurt enough to make him serious? Was he planning to regain the upper hand in their future practice matches?

But a mere beginner wanting to score against her was too conceited.

If Hoshimi had significantly better stamina than her, he might have a chance once she was exhausted.

But alas, Hoshimi's stamina was also lacking, leaving no chance at all!

"Stamina..." Yukinoshita muttered.

Speaking of which, with both of them lacking stamina, achieving a good result would be challenging...

It seemed there would be no room for complacency in the coming days. She needed to improve her stamina as much as possible.

Once her stamina improved, even if they couldn't win the championship, securing a good ranking should still be feasible.

"Thwack---"

Hoshimi missed again, and Yukinoshita walked over, striking the contemplative Hoshimi with the stick.

From a distance, Iroha Isshiki, holding a borrowed camera, watched the scene in silence. She took a few steps back and then left without looking back.

I'm sorry, Iwanaga-san. There are no photos, and I don't want a treat either.

If I get any closer, I'm afraid Yukinoshita-senpai will use that stick on me too.

Scary~ Too scary~ To be this harsh with her boyfriend, does Yukinoshita-senpai have some special interest?
