The next day, Yukinoshita Yukino's body had fully recovered after a day of rest.
Tanaka Masao's life also returned to normal once again…
That was impossible.
After school in the evening, just as Tanaka Masao and Yukinoshita Yukino were pushing their respective bikes to the campus gate.
An unexpected, yet reasonable, figure appeared before them.
"Yukino, Tanaka, are you two going on a date? Can you take me, your older sister, along?"
Looking at the suddenly appearing Yukinoshita Haruno, Yukinoshita Yukino sighed helplessly.
"Sister Haruno, we're not going on a date. Tanaka-kin needs to exercise and lose weight, and I'm supervising him."
"Oh, I see."
Yukinoshita Haruno pinched her chin and nodded thoughtfully.
She had learned from them yesterday how they met.
After hearing it, Yukinoshita Haruno thought it felt so much like a youth romance novel.
It even made her a little envious.
Yukinoshita Haruno was raised as the family heir, and she actually bore a lot of pressure for Yukinoshita Yukino.
For example, it was highly unlikely she could have the kind of romance she wanted; her destiny would likely be to find a capable man to marry into her family.
As for marrying out for an alliance, that was quite impossible, because she was being groomed as the heir.
Wouldn't marrying out be equivalent to giving away her family's assets to someone else?
[Sigh, but this can't be helped. To allow my adorable sister to grow up healthy and happy, and to give her the chance to choose her own destiny, it's fine for me, her older sister, to sacrifice a little.]
Yukinoshita Haruno was almost moved by her own greatness.
[If Yukino knew how much thought I've put into this, she would definitely be incredibly touched and would throw herself into my arms to act spoiled.
Even if I'm misunderstood, even if I'm disliked, it doesn't matter to me, your older sister.
Now, let me, your older sister, test the man you've chosen.]
"Alright, let's go."
Although Yukinoshita Haruno's internal monologue was rich, in reality, she didn't hesitate for a moment, almost without any pause, and sat on the back seat of Tanaka Masao's bicycle.
Tanaka Masao clearly felt his bicycle being pressed down, and he couldn't help but think to himself.
[Sister Haruno is so heavy.]
But thankfully, he had a brain and didn't say the words that would lead to his demise. Instead, he asked in confusion.
"Sister Haruno, what are you doing?"
Yukinoshita Haruno said with a smile.
"Of course, I'm helping Tanaka lose weight. Carrying a person adds weight, so the exercise effect will definitely be better, right?"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Yukinoshita Yukino.
"By the way, since I'm occupying such an important position on Tanaka's bicycle, Yukino, you wouldn't be jealous, would you? You wouldn't get angry and hit me, would you?
Oh, Yukino is so scary, unlike me, I only feel for Tanaka."
Yukinoshita Yukino's hand tightened on the handlebars. She wasn't angry initially, but Yukinoshita Haruno's taunt ignited her temper.
Yukinoshita Yukino smiled sweetly at Tanaka Masao and said.
"Oh my, Tanaka-kin, why aren't you riding? Is it because it's too heavy to ride?"
Yukinoshita Haruno's previously smiling face suddenly stiffened.
She usually paid great attention to maintaining her figure, and her weight was always kept at a fixed value.
But yesterday, seeing Tanaka Masao eat with such relish, she couldn't resist eating a bit more than usual.
The result was that her weight had increased slightly, which bothered her a little.
And Yukinoshita Yukino's words today could be said to have successfully hit a nerve.
However, this was Yukinoshita Yukino; even if she hit a nerve, she wouldn't be hurt.
[It's only been a few days, and Yukino has already become so sharp-tongued.]
Yukinoshita Haruno also showed a benevolent smile and placed her hand on Tanaka Masao's waist.
"Right, Tanaka, why aren't you moving? Is it really too heavy to ride?"
Feeling the hand on his waist, Tanaka Masao swallowed.
Although through his clothes he could feel that these hands were very soft, for some reason, with these soft hands gently placed on his waist, he felt as if they were a pair of iron tongs.
And on the other side, Yukinoshita Yukino was also staring at him intently.
Suddenly becoming the center of their conflict, Tanaka Masao felt immense pressure.
Moving would displease Yukino, and not moving would displease Haruno.
Is this the trouble of dealing with two sisters at once? Satisfying one person will displease the other.
However, Tanaka Masao seemed to be born for this moment; almost instantly, he thought of a solution.
He turned his head, looked at Yukinoshita Haruno with a helpless expression, and said somewhat awkwardly.
"Um, Sister Haruno, I really want to take you, but according to traffic rules, my bicycle can't carry a passenger. You see..."
Tanaka Masao's meaning was clear: it's not that I don't want to take you, but the conditions don't allow it.
If, because of this, he were to be taken to the police station for a chat by the police officer, that would be terrible.
Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous glint.
Although Tanaka Masao's words were well-reasoned, when she saw Yukinoshita Yukino's somewhat smug expression, as if she had won a battle, she felt annoyed.
[Yukino, is it because we haven't seen each other for too long that you've forgotten how formidable your older sister is?]
Yukinoshita Haruno said in a soft, almost coquettish tone.
"Oh, Tanaka, can't you break the rules a little for me, your older sister?
I don't care, today you absolutely have to ride your bicycle and take me."
Tanaka Masao now had two big headaches.
[What a tormenting little vixen. Doesn't she know that Tanaka Masao responds to softness, not toughness?]
Tanaka Masao used his cleverness and quickly came up with another good idea.
"Alright, you two wait for me here for a moment. I'll be right back."
Looking at Tanaka Masao's retreating figure, the Yukinoshita sisters were both a little puzzled.
[Is he planning to run away? But he doesn't seem like that kind of person.]
As they pondered, the two looked at each other, then snorted and ignored each other.
Tanaka Masao was truly a sinful man, effortlessly turning the two sisters against each other.
In less than ten minutes, Tanaka Masao returned.
He rode his bicycle with great flair and stopped in front of Yukinoshita Haruno.
"Alright, Sister Haruno, you can get on."
Looking at Tanaka Masao, Yukinoshita Haruno's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"Tanaka, this is..."
She pointed at the tandem bicycle under Tanaka Masao's butt, momentarily unsure what to say.
Tanaka Masao, however, smiled.
"Riding this bike doesn't violate traffic rules."
Moreover, by riding a tandem bicycle, he was technically riding with Yukinoshita Haruno, satisfying her.
At the same time, he wasn't completely carrying her, because there was a certain distance between them, and Yukinoshita Haruno also needed to pedal, so this wouldn't make Yukinoshita Yukino angry.
Oh, what a perfect solution.
Which genius could come up with such a brilliant idea?
Tanaka Masao was once again impressed by his own wisdom.
Not just him, the two Yukinoshita sisters also somewhat admired him for coming up with such a bizarre idea.
Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the tandem bicycle in front of her, momentarily torn, unsure whether to get on.
Yukinoshita Yukino, on the other hand, was somewhat gloating.
[Isn't Sister Haruno shooting herself in the foot? Riding a tandem bicycle on the street, just thinking about it makes her stand out.]
