Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino finish her porridge, Tanaka Masao took the bowl and spoon.
"I'll go wash them."
"Just put them in the sink; I'll wash them myself later."
"It's fine, I'll just wash them now."
With that, Tanaka Masao had already walked out.
Only a few minutes passed before he returned.
He loosened the caps of two energy drink bottles and placed them on Yukinoshita Yukino's bedside table.
Tanaka Masao said,
"Well, I'll head back now. Yukino, get some good rest; you don't need to see me out. You can call me anytime if you need anything."
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded. Having just eaten, her body felt warm and comfortable, and sleepiness was sweeping over her, making her want to sleep.
"Alright, be careful on your way."
Tanaka Masao gently closed the door to Yukinoshita Yukino's room and went to the genkan to change into his shoes, preparing to leave.
As he sat down to change his shoes, his eyes caught sight of several pairs of Yukinoshita Yukino's shoes placed to the side, and a conversation suddenly surfaced in his mind.
My indoor shoes have been hidden over sixty times, and a few times they were hidden by dogs.
What kind of shoes would a dog hide?
Tanaka Masao's curiosity reached its peak, a ticklish feeling in his heart, causing him to pause his action of putting on shoes.
After an internal struggle, Tanaka Masao cautiously looked back at the closed door of Yukinoshita Yukino's room.
Yukino should be resting now; I need to be quick…
Thinking this, Tanaka Masao picked up a pair of leather shoes from the shoe cabinet.
"Sniff, sniff…"
Tanaka Masao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, a top-tier inhale, and savored it.
This smell…
It wasn't fragrant like in novels or anime, but rather had a faint unpleasant odor.
However, the smell wasn't strong; if it were wine, it would be a light aroma type.
I see, so this is the smell. Then what would her face smell like?
Satisfied with his curiosity, Tanaka Masao was about to put the shoes back when a voice rang out.
"Tanaka-kun, you forgot your phone…"
Tanaka Masao turned around and saw Yukinoshita Yukino emerging from her room. Their eyes met, and the scene instantly became extremely awkward.
Seeing the sight before her, Yukinoshita Yukino's previously gentle expression instantly turned grim.
"Tanaka-kin, what are you doing?"
If this were a game, Tanaka Masao would surely see a notification that Yukinoshita Yukino's affection level had greatly decreased.
Tanaka Masao lost a lot of points.
"Yukino, calm down first; I can explain."
"Explain? I think you should explain to me first."
Another door opened, this time it was the main door of Yukinoshita Yukino's house.
A mature woman in her twenties with shoulder-length short hair stood at the doorway.
Her face was extremely similar to Yukinoshita Yukino's, but her figure was quite full, one could say she was the Yukino plus version.
This person's identity was clear: Yukinoshita Yukino's older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno.
A woman even more excellent than Yukinoshita Yukino, an older sister in every sense of the word.
But didn't Yukinoshita Haruno have a fake mask for dealing with people, giving off a very cheerful and gentle impression?
Yet, why did Tanaka Masao feel that her expression and aura were even more somber than Yukinoshita Yukino's? Could it be that he could easily see through a person's disguise?
Tanaka Masao still held Yukinoshita Yukino's shoe, unsure whether to put it down. At this moment, standing in the crosshairs of their gazes, he felt immense pressure.
Why do I feel like I can't breathe? Has the surrounding air been sucked away?
At this moment, only one voice screamed in Tanaka Masao's mind.
Run, hurry and run.
"I'll just…"
As soon as Tanaka Masao spoke, he felt Yukinoshita Haruno's piercing gaze.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Yukinoshita Yukino was the first to break the somewhat oppressive atmosphere, asking.
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's voice, Yukinoshita Haruno's imposing aura suddenly receded, and a smile reappeared on her face.
Although it was only a fake smile, Tanaka Masao felt the pressure on him sharply decrease.
Tanaka Masao let out a soft breath.
Anime doesn't lie to me; the call of the white moonlight can truly awaken a demon king in a state of madness.
Yukinoshita Yukino to Yukinoshita Haruno is like Lan Tu and Hong Mao, Wu Dalang and Wu Song, Sasuke and Naruto, Krillin and Goku, Tanaka Masao and Yukinoshita Yukino…
Wait, did something strange get mixed in?
As long as he clung to Yukinoshita Yukino, Yukinoshita Haruno surely wouldn't dare to act rashly. This is called 'holding Yukino to command Haruno.'
Yukinoshita Haruno: You can try hugging her.
However, he seemed to have just made Yukinoshita Yukino unhappy, but this was just a trivial matter; she shouldn't mind, right…
Alright, I admit my behavior just now was a bit inappropriate.
If I could do it again, I would never make the same mistake.
Anyway, I already know what it smells like, so I'm no longer curious.
Yukinoshita Haruno took a deep breath, steadying her emotions.
Don't be angry, don't be angry. It's just a strange man appearing in Yukino's house; what's there to be angry about?
Anyway, Yukino is at that age; she'll get married eventually, and it's a good thing that she's finally found someone she likes…
Yukinoshita Haruno thought of ten thousand positive aspects in her mind to calm herself, but in the end, she still couldn't hold back.
Damn it, where did this brat come from? You think you're worthy of my Yukino? I won't allow it!
Well, looking at Tanaka Masao, she still couldn't accept it.
Although Tanaka Masao had lost a lot of weight and was noticeably thinner than when he first arrived, he still looked a bit chubby.
Especially in this country, where the diet is relatively light, the obesity rate is very low, and most people are quite thin.
Even if Tanaka Masao might not be very fat, the comparison made him seem fat.
Just thinking of the two of them standing together, Yukinoshita Haruno declared that she couldn't accept it.
Hadn't she just been somewhat busy with work recently?
Plus, two months ago, there was a car accident on the way to drop Yukinoshita Yukino off at school, and the other party also didn't want to live in a high-pressure home, wanting some personal space.
So she tried not to disturb her.
Today, hearing that Yukinoshita Yukino was sick, she immediately dropped her work and rushed over.
As for why she arrived so late, one reason was that it was a bit far.
Another reason was that she understood Yukinoshita Yukino well and knew that at this time, she would definitely be at her most vulnerable, most in need of family companionship.
Her appearance at this moment would surely increase her standing in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart, making her feel dependent on her.
Then, her desire to stay overnight, citing the late hour, would become perfectly logical.
And since Yukinoshita Yukino's house only had one bed, and they were sisters, where she would sleep would be obvious, wouldn't it?
How long has it been since I slept with Yukino? Just thinking about her soft, fragrant body makes me a little excited.
But now, everything has been ruined by this hateful guy.
