Chapter 440: Haruno's Scheme

"Alright, now that everyone is here, we can start the meeting," Meguri said as everyone took their seats, with Haruno casually sitting in a corner next to Hachiman.

Whether intentional or not, she ended up next to Hachiman.

As the meeting began, Minami, as the chairperson, spoke first. After Yukino's demonstration earlier, she had some idea of what to ask.

"Could each group please report on their progress so far?"

"As for the Promotion Team..."

As various groups reported their progress, Haruno, seated beside Hachiman, spoke up.

"Hikigaya-kun, what do you think?"

"What do you mean by 'what do you think,' Miss Haruno?" Hachiman asked casually.

Haruno smiled faintly. "I mean, what do you think about Yukino becoming the executive committee member?"

"Oh, that. Well, I don't think it's necessarily surprising, considering you previously served as the chairperson," Hachiman shrugged.

"For Yukino, who has always been pursuing you, becoming the executive committee member is quite natural."

Haruno was surprised by how well Hachiman seemed to understand their situation.

"Hmm, Hikigaya-kun seems to know quite a bit about us sisters. I wonder what else you know," Haruno said.

"Well, who knows? I might know some things I shouldn't," Hachiman smirked mysteriously.

Hearing this, Haruno squinted her eyes.

Normally, she could read people quite well, but now she couldn't seem to see through Hachiman.

This added a hint of wariness to Haruno's thoughts, but one thing she was certain of was that her sister definitely had a deep connection with Hachiman.

By this point, each group had almost finished reporting their progress.

"Great job, everyone. Keep up the good work," Minami encouraged with a smile.

Just then, Haruno, who had been silent until now, spoke up suddenly.

"Hey, I have a suggestion. Can I share it?"

"What's your suggestion, Haruno-senpai?" Meguri, being the fan she was, immediately supported.

"I think the cultural festival should be enjoyed to the fullest. Although we're part of the executive committee, we shouldn't lose touch with our classmates. I still remember how much fun I had with my classmates back then," Haruno spoke up, seemingly out of the blue.

Although her words were addressed to everyone, her gaze rested on Minami, who was seated at the main position.

Because Haruno knew that as long as Minami, the chairperson, agreed, her plan would be halfway successful.

If everyone involved in the executive committee enjoyed themselves at the festival, Haruno's hardworking sister would undoubtedly take on all the remaining tasks to ensure that the work progressed smoothly.

Faced with such a huge workload, Yukino might hold out for a while, but eventually, she would seek help from others.

Whether she sought help from herself or from Hachiman, once Yukino asked for assistance, her plan would succeed.

After all, Haruno was somewhat of a sister-con, so how could Yukino's tendencies be lost on her?

In her eyes, Yukino was perfect in every way, except for being too stubborn.

And in order to surpass herself, Yukino had always relied solely on her own efforts, never seeking help from others.

But one person's abilities were ultimately limited. If one tried to handle everything alone, they would eventually face hardship.

So, in order to teach Yukino to ask for help, Haruno had tried various methods, but in the end, she could only prove that Yukino was indeed very capable and could handle many things on her own.

However, when Haruno saw that Minami was the chairperson today, she immediately thought of this tactic.

For Haruno, Minami was too easy to control. With just a bit of verbal persuasion, she could easily get Minami to follow her own ideas.

Sure enough, after hearing Haruno's words, Minami's eyes showed signs of wavering, and it wasn't just her; others seemed to be affected as well.

After all, no one enjoys tedious work.

If it were before, Minami would have definitely agreed without hesitation. However, recalling Hachiman's earlier words, she hesitated for a moment.

"Although that's true, it's also worth considering past experiences, but..."

At that moment, Yukino, seated in the vice-chairperson position, spoke up.

"Sagami-san, that's a misguided notion. We need to accelerate our preparation pace to ensure we have buffer time in case of any unforeseen circumstances."

"So, please don't mislead everyone, Onee-san."

"Huh? Yukino, don't be so rigid. I worked hard with my classmates back then too," Haruno interjected with a smile.

But then, Hachiman's voice echoed in the meeting room.

"I also disagree with this proposal!"

"While I agree with the sentiment of enjoying the cultural festival, we're still members of the executive committee. We need to fulfill our responsibilities and ensure the smooth execution of the festival."

Though his voice wasn't particularly loud, it resonated clearly with everyone present. Moreover, at the same time, an invisible aura seemed to emanate from Hachiman, weighing on everyone's hearts.

"Y-yes... we need to ensure the smooth running of the cultural festival," Minami hastily nodded, as if finding her backbone.

"So, sorry about this, but we can't adopt your proposal, Haruno-senpai."

Seeing this scene, Haruno squinted slightly.

As expected, Minami was easily influenced, but now she was under Hachiman's influence, not hers.

Since Minami was now under Hachiman's control, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to intervene.

It seemed she would have to come up with another plan.

With a hint of regret on her face, Haruno realized she would have to find another way.

"Oh? Well, that's a shame," Haruno responded.

Whether her regret stemmed from the failure of her plan or the rejection of her proposal, that remained unknown.

But then, Meguri once again stepped in to lighten the mood.

"Well, well, let's not get discouraged, everyone. As long as we can finish preparing for the cultural festival as quickly as possible, we'll have plenty of time to enjoy ourselves."

It must be said that Meguri's voice was quite pleasant, like a refreshing spring, soothing everyone's hearts. This must be the "Meguri Energy" that Hachiman praised in the original work.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces brightened considerably.

Yes, as long as they completed their work ahead of schedule, they would have time to enjoy themselves.

With renewed vigor, the members of the executive committee once again busied themselves enthusiastically in the meeting room.

章節 441: [441] Live for Yourself

Chapter 441: Live for Yourself

As time passed, the sky gradually darkened, and one by one, the people in the meeting room left.

Haruno also left early. Once she realized there were no more opportunities today, she didn't linger long. After all, there were still many things at the company that needed her attention.

After everyone had left, only Hachiman and Yukino remained.

Seeing the girl still typing away at her computer, Hachiman got up and approached her.

"Alright, Yukino, let's call it a day for now. There's no end to the work."

Hearing his words, Yukino nodded, saved the completed documents, and then shut down the computer.

"Let's go, shall we? We should head back. You said you had something to tell me, right?"

"Yeah, let's leave school first. It's not convenient to talk while we're on the road," Hachiman smiled.

With that, the two of them left the meeting room together.

As they walked out of the campus, they walked side by side on the road.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" Yukino asked again.

"Not now. Let's go back to your apartment. It's not the best place to talk along the way," Hachiman shrugged.

Seeing Hachiman's mysterious demeanor, Yukino was a bit puzzled. But the girl didn't dwell on it too much, trusting that Hachiman wouldn't harm her.

Passing by a glasses store, Hachiman thought for a moment, then took the girl's hand and walked in.

Watching Hachiman lead her into the glasses store left Yukino even more puzzled.

As Hachiman browsed through the glasses on display, he picked up a pair of semi-rimless glasses and handed them to Yukino.

"Here, try these on."

"What do I need glasses for? I don't have nearsightedness. Is this some kind of strange fetish of yours? If it is, I'll have to decline," Yukino replied.

Hearing this, Hachiman smirked.

What did she mean by "some kind of strange fetish"? Don't just casually attribute weird attributes to me.

Sighing, he spoke, "You're overthinking it. These are just plain lenses. They're not just for nearsightedness."

"Lately, you've been spending a lot of time in front of the computer. These glasses can block blue light, radiation, and better protect your eyesight."

Ah, I see.

Hearing Hachiman's explanation, Yukino felt a warmth in her heart.

Taking the glasses, she put them on and adjusted the frames on her nose.

"How do I look? Does it look weird?"

Seeing Yukino with the glasses on, Hachiman's eyes lit up.

Despite the glasses covering her face, it didn't diminish her delicate beauty. Instead, it added a touch of scholarly charm.

And because of the glasses, Yukino's gaze seemed less cold and more gentle.

"It suits you perfectly, like a match made in heaven," Hachiman exclaimed, giving a thumbs-up.

Seeing this, Yukino felt a bit pleased in her heart, although she didn't show it on her face. She just hummed lightly.

"Please don't awaken any strange fetishes," she said.

Hearing this, Hachiman smirked.

"Alright, alright, let's go. It's getting late, and we still need to go back to your apartment."

"Okay," Yukino nodded.

After paying, the two walked out of the glasses store.

...

Soon, they returned to Yukino's apartment.

"Come in."

Unlocking the door with her keys, Yukino bent down to retrieve a pair of new slippers from the shoe cabinet.

"Here, wear these. They're new."

"Oh? Are these specially for me?" Hachiman couldn't help teasing.

Hearing this, Yukino just gave him a disdainful look without saying anything.

Entering the living room, Yukino placed the new glasses properly, then poured a glass of water for Hachiman.

"Alright, can you finally tell me what's so mysterious?" she asked.

Taking a sip of water, placing the glass down, Hachiman looked at her with a mischievous smile.

"Of course."

As soon as the words fell, Hachiman kissed Yukino's tempting lips before she could react.

"Mm..."

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Yukino let out a short gasp before her words were sealed shut.

But Yukino didn't resist the kiss much, soon responding to it.

After what seemed like a while, their lips parted, leaving a faint blush on Yukino's face.

"So this was your purpose for coming to my apartment, huh? Saying you had something to tell me was just a trick," Yukino remarked.

"I didn't trick you. I do have something to tell you," Hachiman shrugged.

"As for the kiss, it was a special circumstance. Blame it on you being too beautiful. I couldn't resist," he added casually.

Yukino rolled her eyes at Hachiman's somewhat rogue words, but she was curious to hear what he had to say.

"So what's on your mind? You can tell me now," she said.

"Of course," Hachiman replied, sitting on the sofa with Yukino in his arms.

"Do you remember what you said when you accepted Sagami's request?"

"Sagami-san's request..." Yukino pondered for a moment, then fell silent.

Seeing this, Hachiman's voice softened slightly.

"You said you would assist Sagami as the chairperson, not like now, where you've replaced her as the actual chairperson."

"I..."

Yukino was momentarily at a loss for words because she knew that what she had been doing so far didn't align with her initial promise.

"But Sagami isn't very capable, is she? My taking over could improve efficiency," Yukino tried to justify her actions.

"I understand that Sagami isn't up to the task, but what you're doing goes against the service club's principle that you set for yourself initially," Hachiman continued.

"It's not about giving fish but teaching fishing. We should only provide assistance, but in the end, it's up to the client to fulfill their wishes."

Hearing this, Yukino fell silent again because Hachiman was speaking the truth. She had indeed violated the service club's principle she had set for herself.

"But by doing this..."

Before Yukino could continue, Hachiman interrupted her once again.

"I know you're doing this to surpass your sister, Haruno, but what's the point of doing it this way?"

"Chasing after your sister's shadow, doing everything she does just to prove you can do it better?"

"For the sake of proving you're better than your sister by doing the same things, isn't that a bit mundane?"

"Even if you do end up proving you're stronger than Haruno, what then? Constantly imitating, trying to surpass her, in the end, you'll realize that as Yukino beneath Haruno, you've vanished. You'll just become another version of Haruno."

"Yukino beneath Haruno is an independent persona, not just a shadow of Haruno."

"So, please, live for yourself!"
