Although Yukinoshita Yukino really wanted to stay, Yukinoshita Haruno still forcefully dragged her back to her room.
She tried to resist, but her older sister's command was absolute.
Under Yukinoshita Haruno's offensive, she could only reluctantly be pressed onto the bed to sleep.
"Although Sister Haruno is amazing, Tanaka-kin isn't stupid. He should be fine on his own."
Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to force herself to stay awake and pay attention to the two of them, but as soon as she lay on the bed, her consciousness gradually became hazy.
"Ah, my head is so dizzy, I'm losing consciousness."
… …
In a daze, Yukinoshita Yukino didn't know how long she had slept, but she gradually woke up.
She felt that her body wasn't as uncomfortable, and her mind was much clearer; she could move normally now.
"How long did I sleep?"
Yukinoshita Yukino sat up from the bed and checked the time.
"Only ten minutes have passed? But why does it feel like I slept for a very long time?"
Yukinoshita Yukino marveled at the magic of time; she had only slept for ten minutes, yet it felt more refreshing than sleeping for ten hours.
Throwing off the covers, Yukinoshita Yukino put on her slippers, wanting to go out and see.
"Sister Haruno and Tanaka-kin should still be in the living room, I wonder what they are doing?"
As soon as she opened her room door, she heard conversation coming from the living room.
"Oh, Tanaka is pretty good, come let me see."
"Sister Haruno, no!"
"You're blushing, come on, let me see, don't be shy."
"No, Sister Haruno, no!"
"Let me see if you can do it, let me see!"
Hearing the intense arguing from the living room, Yukinoshita Yukino's body stiffened.
"I only slept for ten minutes, how did you two get to this point?"
"I want to see too!"
Yukinoshita Yukino quickened her steps and arrived in the living room, only to see… …
The two of them sitting on the sofa, perfectly fine.
No, your words were so intense just now, and this is what you show me?
Hearing the movement, Yukinoshita Haruno looked up.
"Oh my, isn't this Yukino? How can you not stand being away from Tanaka for just ten minutes? I, your older sister, wanted to spend a little more time alone with him."
Yukinoshita Yukino ignored her teasing and sat on the sofa.
"I slept for a while and feel better."
She looked at the two of them and asked,
"So what were you two talking about, why… …why were you discussing it so intensely?"
"Oh, Yukino, you don't know?"
Yukinoshita Haruno feigned great surprise, which made Yukinoshita Yukino even more confused.
"What should I know?"
Yukinoshita Haruno tilted her head slightly, looking very proud and pleased.
"I see, I see. Tanaka didn't tell you, Yukino. It seems I was one step ahead and learned Tanaka's little secret."
Seeing Yukinoshita Haruno's smug expression, for some reason, Yukinoshita Yukino felt a sense of displeasure, which made her very annoyed.
"I was here first."
Her gaze, like a knife, turned to Tanaka Masao, awaiting his answer.
Feeling Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze, Tanaka Masao shrank his neck.
"Honestly, Sister Haruno, why are you provoking Yukino again? Look, you've made her jealous. Whoever makes her angry should be the one to coax her."
"However, on the other hand, well done, Sister Haruno! This is the first time I've seen Yukino jealous."
"Sure enough, only Haruno can provoke Yukino, right?"
Tanaka Masao quickly began to explain.
"Yukino, don't misunderstand, it's really nothing. It's just that I recently wrote a novel and am preparing to release it."
"A novel?"
Yukinoshita Yukino blinked, a little puzzled.
"Then what were you two just… …"
"It's just that Sister Haruno insisted on seeing it in advance and asked me for it."
"After all, I'm very curious what kind of novel Tanaka wrote."
Yukinoshita Haruno wasn't lying; she was genuinely curious. Moreover, if a person writes a novel, one can easily understand what kind of person they are through their work.
Yukinoshita Yukino also became interested.
"I saw your Painting was quite good before, I didn't expect you to go and write a novel. That's truly unexpected."
Tanaka Masao's eyes flickered, but luckily, the obstruction of his glasses prevented it from being noticed.
He scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Ah haha, I originally planned to draw manga, but it's a bit time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I chose to write a novel instead."
"I see."
Yukinoshita Yukino didn't find it strange; drawing manga was indeed time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Yukinoshita Haruno also became interested.
"Tanaka, you can also draw?"
Tanaka Masao nodded.
"I know a little."
"Then, Tanaka, how about I pose for you, and you draw a Painting for me?"
"Okay."
Tanaka Masao agreed readily. Yukinoshita Haruno's figure was much more suitable for his Painting style than Yukinoshita Yukino's.
"That's great!"
Yukinoshita Haruno seemed genuinely excited, or perhaps she was just putting on a show.
"Yukino, how about it? Do you want Tanaka to draw one for you too?"
Yukinoshita Yukino was sitting on the sofa, appearing very calm.
"No need, Tanaka-kin has already drawn one for me before."
For some reason, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly felt a strange sense of pressure.
Although it was only for a moment, she actually saw the shadow of her own mother in Yukinoshita Yukino.
"It must be a delusion."
Yukinoshita Haruno didn't dare to think too much; one mother was enough pressure for her. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to have two such women in the house.
She went forward and looped her arm through Yukinoshita Yukino's.
"Yukino, don't be so cold. It's a rare opportunity, let Tanaka draw a group portrait of us sisters."
Tanaka Masao also nodded.
"I have no problem with it."
Tanaka Masao had more than no problem; he was very good at drawing scenes with many people, and sister flowers were his specialty.
Yukinoshita Yukino thought about Tanaka Masao's ability and skill and felt that he should be fine.
And she also really wanted a group photo.
It just goes to show what a genius Yukinoshita Yukino was; she also knew a thing or two about Painting, so her home also had a complete set of Painting equipment.
"There are pigments, so I'll draw a full-color Painting for you two."
"Tanaka, please make sure to draw us beautifully."
Hearing Yukinoshita Haruno's reminder, Tanaka Masao nodded confidently.
"Just leave it to me, I will definitely draw you two beautifully."
Tanaka Masao, full of energy, held his brush and began to meticulously refine his artwork, striving for an exquisitely beautiful result.
"Sister Haruno, can you not get so close?"
"Oh, what does it matter? It also makes it easier for Tanaka to work."
Because there were two people and coloring was involved, Tanaka Masao took a bit longer this time.
It took a full half an hour before Tanaka Masao let out a long breath, finishing his Painting.
"See how it turned out."
He handed the drawing paper to the two, while he himself tidied up the tools he had just used.
The two sisters took the drawing paper and both leaned in curiously.
Tanaka Masao had put a lot of effort into this Painting, and he had drawn both of them exquisitely.
Rosy skin, sparkling large eyes, long eyelashes, even individual strands of hair could be clearly seen, except… …
Yukinoshita Yukino frowned and tilted her head to look at Tanaka Masao.
"Was this the pose we were in just now?"
She looked at the two figures in the Painting, with their fingers intertwined and gazing deeply forward, and asked her question.
"Oh, that? I used my imagination and added some artistic embellishment. This better expresses the good relationship between you two sisters."
Tanaka Masao said enthusiastically.
"This is the difference between Painting and photography."
"Photography can only record; reality is what it is."
"But Painting can beautify real things."
