บท 196: Ch 196. Yukino, We're Getting Married

"Yukino..." Seeing Yukino bow her head as if awaiting a doomsday judgment, Hoshimi's eyes flashed with a strange light.

"Yes..." Yukino's voice trembled, her fingers interlocked, looking extremely nervous.

"Sigh~"

Hoshimi's sigh felt like a mountain falling onto Yukino's heart.

For some reason, Yukino's chest tightened, and her mood began to sink.

"Yukino..." Hoshimi, with a playful look in his eyes, said helplessly, "Yukino, tell your family to prepare for a marriage proposal."

"?!!!" Yukino's beautiful eyes widened in shock as she looked up at Hoshimi.

A marriage proposal?! What's going on?!!

The mountain in Yukino's heart instantly vanished into thin air. She looked at Hoshimi, who appeared helpless, feeling a mix of dissatisfaction, excitement, and anticipation.

Dissatisfaction stemmed from the helplessness on Hoshimi's face.

What's this? Does marrying me make you feel helpless? Hoshimi, you jerk!

Excitement and anticipation didn't need much explanation—the former arose from the relief of a misunderstanding, and the latter from...

Yukino's face turned red as she stared at Hoshimi, pressing him for an answer: "Hoshimi! What on earth is going on? Just tell me already!"

Hoshimi spread his hands and said, "It's exactly what I said. My aunt asked me to take responsibility, and after inquiring about your background, she decided we were a good match. So, she ordered the old butler to arrange the proposal."

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will be my fiancée by tomorrow noon at the earliest, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"And once we're of age, we'll get married. My aunt also set a goal for us... to have enough children to form a basketball team."

"..." Yukino blushed and lightly punched Hoshimi's chest.

She softly spat, then looked at Hoshimi with bright eyes and asked, "Hoshimi, what should we do now? Are we really going to..."

Yukino's lips opened and closed several times, but she couldn't bring herself to say the word "marriage."

Things were moving too fast, and she was struggling to keep up.

And if they do get engaged, Hoshimi would surely move in with her, and then...

"Ugh~" Yukino's legs weakened, and she felt as if all the strength in her body was being drained away like silk being unraveled.

"Yeah..." Hoshimi lifted his head, sighing with emotion: "We're really going to get married..."

"..." Yukino's breath quickened, and she lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.

She leaned forward, resting her head against Hoshimi's chest, and softly responded: "Yes..."

"..." Hoshimi's eye twitched.

Something was off—Yukino's reaction wasn't what he had expected.

He had imagined she would be flustered, asking him what to do. But instead, she agreed all of a sudden?

Uh-oh, there's been a slight hiccup in the plan—how should I wrap this up now?

Hoshimi's eyes darted around, and he quickly came up with a solution.

He placed his hands on Yukino's delicate shoulders, bent his knees, and lowered himself to meet her gaze.

"Yukino, since we're going to get engaged, does that mean we can..." Hoshimi teased with a mischievous smile, his meaning clear.

Blushing deeply, Yukino turned her head away and softly murmured: "...No, we have to wait until... um~"

Yukino wanted to say "until we're married," but she couldn't get the words out when it came to "marriage."

It felt like a playful kitten, its soft paw resting on her heart, and whenever she thought about "marriage," the paw would scratch her, making her heart race to the point where she couldn't speak.

"Yukino, after we get engaged, we should be able to live together, right?" Hoshimi's eyes sparkled as if he was plotting something.

"..." Yukino, who had turned away, remained silent, taking it as her way of agreeing with Hoshimi's suggestion.

She knew that if they really got engaged, there wouldn't be any issue with them living together.

Her parents wouldn't have any objections, and it would be acceptable in name...

But if they did live together, given Hoshimi's tendency to push his luck, they'd probably end up...

"Yukino, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement, okay?" Hoshimi's eyes gleamed with mischief, but deep down, a hint of relief flickered.

"..." Yukino's lips parted, then closed again, and she eventually acquiesced.

"That's great." Hoshimi stood up straight and hugged the now soft Yukino in his arms, whispering, "In a few years, we'll be able to live together. Isn't that wonderful..."

At first, Yukino, immersed in the warmth of Hoshimi's embrace, didn't realize what was wrong.

But two seconds later, Yukino suddenly felt something was off.

She carefully replayed Hoshimi's words in her mind.

"Engaged, then living together."

"In a few years, we'll be living together..."

A flash of insight hit Yukino, and she seemed to understand something. She gently placed her hands on Hoshimi's waist and quietly asked, "Hoshimi, why did you say 'a few years later'?"

"Ahahaha~" Hoshimi laughed heartily, subtly tightening his hold on Yukino.

He couldn't let go now—if he did, he might have to face 'Demon Yukino.'

Realizing the truth, Yukino used both hands to pinch the soft flesh at Hoshimi's waist, angrily muttering, "Hoshimi! You jerk! Idiot! Fool! Today, I won't rest until I defeat you! Let go of me!"

"Ouch, ouch~~ it hurts~" Hoshimi, having numbed the pain in his waist, convincingly cried out in pain, "Yukino-chan, it hurts~~ be gentle~~"

"Hoshimi! Kiyokawa!"

The more Yukino thought about her embarrassed state earlier, the more her anger grew.

She struggled vigorously in Hoshimi's arms, still pinching the soft flesh at his waist.

"Hoshimi! Kiyokawa! Let go of me!"

"I'm not letting go. Yukino-chan is so soft and smells so nice. Why should I let go?"

"Hoshimi!!"

Having struggled in vain, Yukino suddenly bit Hoshimi's shoulder.

She bit down hard, and it wasn't until the fabric of Hoshimi's clothes showed hints of red that she let go, feeling both heartache and helplessness.

Filled with pent-up frustration, she pressed her head against Hoshimi's chin, rubbing back and forth to vent her emotions, before gradually calming down.

"Yukino-chan..." Hoshimi softly called in her ear.

"Hmph!" Yukino coldly snorted, refusing to respond to this wicked man.

"Yukino-chan, my aunt knows your name, but she didn't ask too many questions. She trusts me to handle my personal matters..." Hoshimi gently explained.

"Hmph!" Knowing she had been tricked, Yukino coldly replied, "Hoshimi, if you ever dare to mess with me like this again, don't expect it to end easily!"

"Hmm." Hoshimi responded.

Indeed, there won't be a next time—now that he knows Yukino's attitude, the next time will have to be the real deal...

บท 197: Ch 197. Yukino, I'm Sorry

In a dream, Yukino finds herself in a library. The previous incident has been put behind them, and Hoshimi gently convinces Yukino to sit down in the reading area to begin their study session for the night.

He starts by producing study materials out of thin air, and then changes Yukino's clothes into a teacher's uniform. Lastly, he looks around, feeling like something is missing.

"Hmm~" Hoshimi ponders for a moment.

Soon, he has an epiphany. Role-playing with uniforms should involve both people, right? Since Yukino is now in a teacher's outfit, he should change into a school uniform to enhance the immersion!

"Snap!"

Hoshimi snaps his fingers, and his clothes transform into the black school uniform of Sobu High.

"..." Yukino, who has been watching the whole process, glances coldly at Hoshimi's attire. The icy aura surrounding her becomes even more intense. She doesn't want to think about what kind of mischief Hoshimi might be planning; all she knows is that she's very angry right now, and Hoshimi had better not cross her.

"Yukino, let's start studying~" Hoshimi, now dressed in a school uniform, smiles as he pulls out a math textbook.

The school uniform is just to enhance the study atmosphere; it's not for anything inappropriate. At least, that's the case until he can properly calm Yukino down.

"Hmph!" Yukino snorts, takes the math textbook, and begins tutoring Hoshimi with a stern face.

Time passes slowly, and before long, an hour has gone by.

At first, Yukino was secretly wary of Hoshimi pulling any stunts, but as the lesson progressed, her attention gradually shifted back to teaching. She had to focus completely on tutoring Hoshimi.

It wasn't because Hoshimi was too dull that she had to put in so much effort. On the contrary, it was because Hoshimi was too smart that she had to be fully engaged to keep up with his pace.

Yes, it was quite absurd—the teacher had to focus all her energy just to keep up with the student's learning speed.

Through this hour of tutoring, Yukino realized just how little effort Hoshimi had put in the previous two days. Compared to now, it was clear he hadn't been taking his studies seriously at all.

"Hoshimi, try solving this problem," said Yukino, her head aching slightly as she pushed a workbook toward Hoshimi.

"Alright." Hoshimi glanced at the problem, a complex question on planar vectors, and squinted, searching his memory for the solution.

After a moment, with a bit of an idea forming, Hoshimi began to write down his answer.

Yukino watched Hoshimi's smooth and confident writing, feeling a twinge of envy. Hoshimi was undoubtedly a genius—he grasped concepts quickly, mastered them even faster, and didn't just understand them but truly integrated them into his knowledge base.

If she didn't know Hoshimi's laid-back personality or that he had spent a year cooped up at home, she might really believe that Hoshimi had already gone through high school once before.

"Yukino, it's done~" Hoshimi said, pushing the workbook back to Yukino after completing the problem.

Yukino lowered her head to check the answer. The problem-solving process and final answer were flawless, matching the standard solution perfectly.

"Sigh~" Yukino sighed softly, feeling a sense of defeat rise within her.

She had taken nearly twice as long to solve this problem as Hoshimi had...

Yukino felt an inexplicable sense of loss. She had found someone she could be close to, only to lose so thoroughly in the end. This was...

"Yukino, is there a problem with the answer?" Seeing Yukino's reaction, Hoshimi asked suspiciously.

Was it his imagination, or did he detect a hint of jealousy in the air?

But would the upright Yukinoshita Yukino really feel jealousy? Probably not, right? It must be an illusion...

"The answer is fine; let's continue." Yukino picked up the workbook and textbook, continuing to tutor Hoshimi.

She made a decision! She was going to properly "train" Hoshimi, turning him into the kind of person she wanted him to be. She couldn't let Hoshimi's talent go to waste!

Such talent, if squandered, would be a crime!

She couldn't allow this laid-back guy to keep committing such a crime!

The tutoring continued!

...

After another two hours, Hoshimi straightened up and stretched comfortably after solving the final problem.

It had been almost four hours. It was time to switch gears and spend time with Kotoko.

"The answer is correct," Yukino confirmed after checking the solution, then glanced at the clock on the wall, knowing that Hoshimi's time with her tonight was about to end.

She closed the workbook, pushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and asked calmly, "Hoshimi, did your aunt give you a task?"

"Hmm?" Hoshimi raised an eyebrow, looking at Yukino with interest. "Yukino, how did you know?"

Yukino shot a sidelong glance at Hoshimi and said coolly, "If it weren't for some external factor, I wouldn't believe you'd study this diligently. And the only likely external factor recently is your aunt, right?"

Hoshimi's eyes curved with a smile as he cheerfully praised her, "My Yukino is so smart, seeing right through everything."

"..." Yukino glanced at Hoshimi sideways and asked coldly, "So, what did your aunt agree on with you? What made this laid-back guy suddenly take his studies seriously?"

"Nothing much," Hoshimi replied casually, waving it off. "She just asked me to get into the top five in the year. If I can't, she'll hire a private tutor for me. To avoid having my leisurely life disturbed, I had to put in a little more effort~"

"Oh, and..." Hoshimi added, "She also told me to aim for Todai. What do you think, Yukino?"

"..." Yukino didn't respond immediately. She quietly rubbed the cover of the book.

Tokyo University, huh? It shouldn't be a problem. As long as she didn't slack off, she was pretty confident she could get in.

"Yukino?" Hoshimi called her name again when she didn't answer.

Yukino glanced at him and said coldly, "It's been four hours, Hoshimi. Are you planning to stay with me for the rest of the night?"

Hoshimi raised an eyebrow slightly, stood up, and kissed Yukino on the forehead before whispering a goodbye in her ear.

"Yukino, see you tomorrow. And..."

Hoshimi paused, "... I'm really sorry."

After that, Hoshimi abruptly vanished from the library.

"..." Yukino, left alone in the library, furrowed her brows ever so slightly.

Hoshimi was apologizing? But for what?

Was it about that "marriage" incident? Or was it something to do with Kotoko? Or was it something she wasn't aware of?
