She was still someone with fewer chances to interact with him.
Yukino thought of "Saekano".
Yukima Azuma had once written a love letter like that.
Yukino wasn't as foolish as Eriri, so of course, she understood the implication within that light novel.
Perhaps, she had already lost a long time ago.
That thought made Yukino's eyes momentarily darken.
"Even Yukino-chan doesn't know what to do, huh?"
"That doesn't sound like something you should say."
"But have you ever considered staying by that boy's side along with the other girls?"
Haruno spoke while glancing at Yukino.
Hearing her sister's question, Yukino was completely dumbfounded.
What was this?
A harem?
That was utterly ridiculous.
This wasn't a light novel world.
"Are you joking? Not just me, but the others wouldn't agree either."
"Besides, Azuma-kun would never..."
Before Yukino could finish her sentence.
Haruno interrupted her:
"Never? Yukino-chan, do you want to think it over more carefully?"
"Yukino-chan, you know by now, right? Yukima Azuma is the boy who came to our house back then."
Hearing that, Yukino fell silent again.
Yukima Azuma was the one who had visited the Yukinoshita household back then.
The boy who negotiated with Mrs. Yukinoshita, wanting his name to be recorded under the Yukinoshita family.
Yukino knew very well what had happened to the Yukima family.
That boy no longer had a single blood relative in this world.
Or perhaps, from the very beginning, he never had any family at all.
Yukino recalled hearing that Yukima Azuma had been sent to Tokyo since elementary school.
The car passed through the streets, with Yukima's house on one side.
But Haruno didn't stop.
The car quickly passed the mansion, continuing forward, taking another round.
"Yukino-chan, can't you see? That boy, no matter how much he uses maturity and intellect to conceal himself"
"Deep inside, he is still unbearably lonely, like an abandoned child."
As Haruno spoke these words.
Her eyes flickered slightly, barely noticeable.
As if she was peeling open an old wound, suppressing the pain.
Why did Haruno understand Yukima Azuma's true state so well?
The answer was very simple.
Because that night, after she had "swallowed him whole."
After the boy fell asleep, he held her tightly.
Pressed his cheek against her neck.
As if he wanted to bind her to himself at all costs.
Afraid that with just one careless moment, she would leave him behind.
A deep attachment that could never be erased.
When Haruno was embraced, she felt as if her entire heart had been filled.
She just kept looking at Yukima Azuma all night.
Until the morning light crept into the hotel room.
She was forced to remove the arms of the boy who was tightly holding onto her.
That was also Haruno's first time.
If she truly didn't care, she wouldn't have risked jumping from the second floor of the banquet hall, despite the possibility of breaking her leg.
The boy's attachment was like the sweetest candy in the world.
Once tasted, it had to be given up forever.
That morning felt like a knife slicing through Haruno's heart.
But she had no other choice.
At that time, the boy was still just a part-time banquet hall worker.
If Haruno had truly stayed and confirmed her relationship with Yukima Azuma.
The Yukinoshita family would have delivered a fatal blow to him.
After leaving, Haruno could only lick her wounds in silence.
She just never expected that
One day in the future.
When she met that boy again.
He had built an entire fortress from nothing.
Stepped into a position where he no longer had to fear the Yukinoshita family.
And even sheltered her younger sister under his wings.
As someone who loved her sister to an extreme degree.
She couldn't help but feel jealous of her own sister.
She was clearly the one who came first!
On one side was her most beloved younger sister.
On the other was the boy with whom she had shared her first time.
The sum of two happinesses should have been the most beautiful dream.
Why did it turn out like this!?
Those bitter lines from White Album unconsciously surfaced in Haruno's mind.
This made her start to doubt
When that boy created that game.
Had he already foreseen this exact situation?
Damn it, why are you so skilled at this!?
Haruno's thoughts became chaotic.
Yukino wasn't much better off.
Though not as deeply as Haruno
She had still been with him for a year.
Regarding Yukima Azuma's issues, Yukino had also noticed some signs.
When dealing with those around him, the boy always seemed excessively eager to please.
As if he was afraid they would leave him.
The car went around for the third time.
Haruno collected her thoughts and asked once again:
"Yukino-chan, are you still hesitating?"
Yukino's eyelashes lowered slightly.
"I don't know, it's just thinking about him being with someone else makes my stomach hurt."
"But if I really had to stay away from him I can't even imagine it."
Hearing that, the corners of Haruno's lips curled up.
It seemed that the situation was much better than she had expected.
She had already prepared herself for the possibility that her younger sister would stubbornly resist to the end with that strong-willed personality of hers.
But it turned out that boy was truly the embodiment of a seductive demon.
His power was formidable.
Even the iron-hard personality of her sister had been bent slightly.
That significantly lowered the difficulty.
"As someone with experience, I have a piece of advice for you, Yukino-chan."
"Actually, only when you abandon your original feelingsthat is the true betrayal."
"If your feelings remain unchanged from start to finish, and you simply develop new emotions, then it's not that big of a deal, right?"
Hearing her sister's justification.
Yukino just stared blankly.
Was that really true?
If Haruno had said these words from the beginning.
Yukino would have immediately retorted with sharp words.
But now, her head was in a complete mess because of Yukima Azuma.
On the left side of her mind was flour, on the right was waterone slight movement and it would turn into a pile of mush.
To the point that even such absurd words started to seem somewhat reasonable.
When the car once again stopped in front of Yukima's House.
Haruno slowly brought it to a halt.
"Alright, it's been a long time since we last met. Talking with Yukino-chan was really fun."
"It's getting quite late, Yukino-chan, hurry inside."
Yukino gently nodded, stepping out of the car in a daze.
Watching her younger sister absentmindedly walk toward Yukima's house.
Haruno stuck out her tongue.
"Oh dear, my adorable little sister, there's no other wayI'll have to trouble you a little."
"But then again, that guy flirts around everywhere, so you can't blame me."
Haruno mumbled to herself.
Back then, due to practical reasons, she had to leave Yukima Azuma.
But now, the Yukinoshita family could no longer threaten him.
Whether it was out of jealousy or the emotions stirring in her heart.
Haruno truly couldn't just stand by and watch anymore.
No matter how shameless it made her seem, she had to get back in the game.
And now, the biggest obstacle
Was none other than her own younger sister.
If Yukino couldn't accept it
Haruno would have no choice but to quietly back down.
Otherwise, even she wouldn't be able to overcome the barrier in her heart.
In any case, the first step was to coax her little sister into accepting the harem, then take it from there.
By that point, compared to letting him fall into the hands of other women
Wouldn't it be much better for us sisters to take the prize?
Yukino used the key to unlock the front door.
As soon as she stepped into Yukima's house.
An irresistibly delicious aroma immediately hit her, making her swallow involuntarily.
"Why are you home so late today? Good thing I made extra soup tonightit's fine to reheat it a little."
Yukima Azuma poked his head out from the kitchen. "Come eat."
Seeing that boy, Yukino's heart trembled slightly.
Earlier, when she wasn't with him, she already felt like she couldn't bear to be apart.
Now that she had just laid eyes on him
That feeling became even stronger.
The ever-righteous Yukino had finally fallen victim to beauty's charm.
Tonight, Yukima Azuma had made corn and pork rib soup.
As soon as Yukino sat down at the table, Yukima Azuma brought over a large bowl of ribs.
"Azuma-kun went to Shuchiin today, right? How was it?"
Yukino's mind was still a mess. Not wanting Azuma to ask why she was home lateafraid she might accidentally let something slip
She quickly found a topic to start the conversation first.
"Umu, it went really well. Let me tell you about it..."
Yukima Azuma started recounting the interesting events at Shuchiin.
At first, Yukino was still lost in thought, but gradually, she was drawn into the boy's lively storytelling.
From time to time, she covered her mouth and chuckled. Before she knew it, the uneasiness in her heart had faded away.

Chapter 204: Yukinoshita Yuki-Nyan
Chapter 204: Yukinoshita Yuki-Nyan
"What is this?"
After dinner, as she was about to go upstairs, Yukino happened to glance at the red stone in Yukima Azuma's hand and asked curiously.
"Ah... this is a long story. Actually, I'm not even sure what it is."
Yukima Azuma twirled the stone in his hand.
This was a fragment of Charlotte.
Yesterday, Suou Yuki had handed it over to him.
After bringing it back, Yukima Azuma had spent some time studying it
But until now, he still hadn't identified any special properties.
In fact, he had even considered taking it up Mount Itomori
To ask the guardian deity of Itomori for clarification.
"It looks like some kind of mineral."
Yukino leaned in closer and gently touched it.
"What if it's a meteorite from outer space?"
Yukima Azuma casually joked.
The two exchanged a few more words.
Yukino waved goodbye and turned to walk up the stairs.
After returning to her room
Yukino let out a long sigh.
Being around that young man was truly comfortable and pleasant.
If possible, she wished she could live like this forever.
Then, she recalled the words her older sister had said.
For a moment, Yukino felt a little lost.
She removed her business attire and stepped into the bathroom.
Yukino looked at herself in the mirror.
Just like her name, snow under snow. If one had to describe her beauty, it was a kind of beauty that was untouchable, something one could never obtainonly marvel at its absolute perfection.
A Yukino like this, of course, had never once worried about her appearance from childhood to adulthood.
But at this moment, she placed her hand on her flat chest.
She bit her lip slightly.
Should she start eating more papayas or something?
She stood there in a daze for a long time.
Until she felt a slight chill and shivered.
Yukino snapped back to reality and quickly stepped under the shower.
After finishing her bath
Wrapped in a towel, Yukino jumped onto her bed.
Her fair legs gently swayed.
If only she didn't have to deal with human relationships, if only she could cling to that young man without a care in the world, how wonderful that would be.
As she thought about it, Yukino gradually drifted into sleep.
The night slowly fell.
The next morning.
The morning sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating the pristine white bedsheets.
Yukino felt suffocated, as if a blanket had been completely covering her head.
She reached out to push it away, but no matter how much she tried, she couldn't.
She opened her eyes.
What met her gaze was a layer of soft fabric, blocking her vision.
Yukino frowned.
This texture it seemed to be her towel?
Was someone playing a prank? Placing a towel over her head?
Yukino intended to reach out and pull the towel down.
But no matter how many times she touched around, she couldn't feel herself grabbing onto anything at all.
Suspicious, she looked down at her hands.
Yukino only saw a pair of snow-white, soft paws with pinkish pads.
"Nyani!"
( ®®) !!
A loud cry escaped.
Startled, Yukino struggled to free herself from the towel.
Her bed was still her bed, her room was still her room.
However, everything now appeared several times larger than before.
Yukino looked down at her body.
She only saw a sleek black fur coat, along with a cat's tail swaying behind her.
In an instant, Yukino's eyes widened in shock.
She wanted to speak, but as soon as she opened her mouth, only "nyan nyan" came out.
After adapting to her current cat body, Yukino rolled around a little and then jumped off the bed.
She walked toward the large mirror in the room.
In the mirror, there was no longer the elegant black-haired beauty.
Instead, there was only a small cat with an entirely black body, except for four white paws, looking incredibly adorable.
On a normal day, seeing such a cute cat would certainly make Yukino feel affectionate.
But right now
She tried raising her paw.
In the mirror, the little cat also lifted its white paw.
For a moment, Yukino fell into extreme shock.
She had turned into a cat!
/ Ї Ї
Yukino stared at her reflection, her pupils turning into vertical slits from the shock.
What should she do now?
For a brief moment, Yukino was utterly bewildered.
Just then.
The door creaked open.
Yukino jumped in alarm, cautiously looking toward the door.
Someone was coming.
She tried lifting her small head to see who had entered.
It was Yukima Azuma.
Yukino panicked slightly.
How was she supposed to explain this situation now?
