Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

The day after Beinuo contacted Bodao.

In order to record the battle footage, he needs to take time out to go into the "exclusive space" to train his shadow in order to deal with Ryunosuke's incredible ability to predict two seconds.

Therefore, the afternoon club activities of Sobu High School have just begun.

Beinuo was no longer seen in the service club.

The familiar sound of baseball hitting came from outside the window. The sports clubs started their daily training. The whistles and shouts were accompanied by a pleasant breeze that blew through the curtains, slightly improving the quiet atmosphere in the room.

"Does the senior have anything to do today?"

After Isshiki Iroha arrived at the Service Club and sat down, she waited for a long time for the other party to show up, so she asked Yukinoshita Yukino who was reading quietly beside her.

However, Yukinoshita, who likes to be alone and has a narrow circle of friends consisting only of members of the Service Club, was unaware of Kitano's absence.

She could only guess: "Maybe he hasn't resolved what happened yesterday."

Even though the three girls present were acquainted with Beinuo, they had to stop there because it involved other people's private affairs.

When the topic is about to end.

Yuigahama Yui looked away from her phone screen and saw the other two people looking confused, so she subconsciously said, "Oh, didn't Xiaobei tell you?"

Yukinoshita and Isshiki cast their glances over.

"So Yui-senpai knows the inside story?"

"There is no inside information. Xiaobei simply sent me an email." Yuigahama frankly stated the reason for Beinuo's absence.

"I recently received an important commission, and the store manager specifically asked me to participate. Since I have been indebted to him, it is difficult to refuse, so I have no time to participate in club activities these days..."

After Yuigahama read Kitano's message, the other two girls had different reactions.

"Working part-time? This feels a bit sudden, since I have midterm exams soon." Isshi Caiyu supported her face with her hands and moved her eyes to Beinuo's empty seat, pondering the possible hidden information in the email, especially the wording of being indebted to "the other party", which seemed to deliberately avoid the gender of the store manager.

Compared to Isshiki's suspicion of the email, Yukinoshita's focus was...

"This email should have been sent to me. Not only did the member not communicate with the president when he asked for leave, he even acted on his own without the president's permission. It seems that he has no basic qualities in communication. His attitude in participating in social division of labor in the future is worrying. It is necessary to investigate him for this..."

Yuigahama became more and more confused as she listened, and stared at her blankly, "What is Koyuki talking about?"

“Are you trying to take advantage of this situation…” Isse responded in a low voice.

However, Yukinoshita was keenly aware of her complaints and immediately stopped her critical remarks as the president. She glanced at Isshiki Iroha in a rational and friendly manner:

"Isshiki, please take this arrogant behavior of being absent without permission seriously and don't learn from him."

"I know, senior." Although he said this, Isshiki actually did not reflect on his behavior of skipping the football club activities without permission.

The service club fell silent again.

Yuigahama wanted to bring up a new topic, but influenced by the quiet atmosphere, she thought that maybe it would be okay to remain silent.

Time is passing, and the electronic clock is ticking on a corner of the flip phone case. The angle of light coming in from the window also changes, tilting along the same trajectory every day.

The three of them would chat from time to time, but soon fell silent.

"Speaking of which..." Yuigahama spoke slowly, finally bringing up the topic that had been on her mind for a long time, "After listening to Xiaobei's words yesterday, I'm still troubled about how to talk to him in the future... and so on."

"Ah, I'm almost there actually. Luckily, Senior isn't here today."

Isshiki immediately agreed. After all, she almost self-destructed in front of Kitano. With just a few questions and answers, she revealed a lot of important information. Therefore, she could empathize with Yuigahama's situation very much... After all, Yuigahama was the first to "sacrifice".

After Beinuo left the activity room yesterday, the three girls were unable to calm down and communicate, and finally ended the club activities of the day hastily.

"Could it be that the senior was absent on purpose because he was concerned about the atmosphere of the service club?"

Yi Se's guess is not reasonable, but it is mostly subjective.

Yukinoshita retorted: "Judging from his reaction at that time, he was indeed in a hurry. Besides, he made such a straightforward and undisguised statement. How could he suddenly become a coward and deliberately avoid us?"

Yuigahama nodded, "That's true, but yesterday...Xue was the boldest, right? She was the one who asked those questions decisively. If it were me, I would never be able to say them."

“That’s right, thanks to Yukinoshita-senpai’s accurate questioning, Yui-senpai’s sacrifice was not in vain!”

"Right...ah? Don't talk nonsense, Caiyu-chan!"

Yukinoshita sighed softly. She didn't feel proud at all in the face of their praise. Instead, when she recalled the scene at that time, she found it a little strange.

Because at that time she saw a scene full of déjà vu, as if she had foreseen the content of the conversation between Beinuo and others.

Driven by curiosity, she tried to make modifications with the help of "known content", and as a result, she gradually revealed Beinuo's hidden thoughts.

Yukinoshita was able to bypass Kitano's defense just by accident. That strange sense of déjà vu was fleeting, and she almost thought she was dreaming.

Isshi Iroha was apologizing to Yuigahama with a smile, but it was unclear whether she was sincere or not.

Yukinoshita changed the subject: "Do you remember that he said something very noteworthy yesterday?"

Hearing this question, the two girls subconsciously raised their respective concerns.

"Senior is willing to date only after graduation?"

"Xiao Bei wants to be with him till the end of his life?"

"...Well, no." Yukinoshita admitted that these two points were also important, but they were not the same as what she was concerned about.

Isshiki and Yuigahama answered again:

"Does it mean that the senior declared that he would confess?"

"I know, it must mean that Xiaobei has never been in a relationship!"

"..."

As expected, there are many differences between people.

Yukinoshita coughed lightly and said directly, "What I want to say is that sentence 'He will handle the endgame'. Sigh, you know what this sentence means, right?"

What else can the so-called emotional endgame represent? It is nothing more than decisively deciding the outcome and avoiding any delays.

The three of them are members of the Servant Society and are also competitors.

"Well, it is indeed worth paying attention to." Isshiki thought.

"Ahahaha, Xiaobei might be in a lot of trouble..."

"Yes, in order to prevent the senior from worrying at the last minute, why don't we decide the winner in advance!"

Yukinoshita was surprised to hear the high-spirited speech of this junior, so she tried to ask: "Does Isshiki have any suggestions?"

"Suggestions? No, I just got some relevant insights from an emotional magazine. I guess I can help you share some of the pressure."

Isshi Caiyu had a depressed look on her face, and put on a bitter expression as if she was caring about all the seniors.

Emotional magazine? Is this thing reliable?

Yukinoshita had read this kind of emotional books before, but she never took them to heart, let alone delve into them. Instead of reading those incomprehensible emotional entanglement stories, she would rather read more books about kittens.

"Aya-chan is also interested in this kind of magazines. Are you looking at horoscopes or love fortune telling recently? I'm planning to buy the new issue of Harper's Bazaar. It not only focuses on fashion trends, but also covers topics about love and marriage."

Yuigahama suddenly became excited when faced with the area she was good at.

Isshi Caiyu followed up with a few sentences and then brought up her own topic very naturally.

"In fact, some couples are destined not to go far. After a long time, the shortcomings of both parties will be exposed. When they can no longer tolerate each other, it is a precursor to the breakdown of the relationship. The honeymoon period is over, and only endless torture is left. Therefore, most couples cannot escape the ravages of time. Moreover, Senior is the kind of man who almost takes the completion of his life as a prerequisite."

Yukinoshita listened silently. Although Isshiki Iroha, as a junior, deliberately expressed her emotional views in the tone of an experienced person, which made her feel a sense of incongruity, this borrowed speech was generally reasonable. It was worthy of being an emotional magazine and was indeed worthy of reference and thought-provoking.

Yuigahama nodded frequently, her bun-like hairstyle swaying, "Yes, everyone has their own shortcomings, this is unavoidable, then Xiaobei is not..."

"Don't worry, Yui-senpai."

Isshiki raised her hand to stop the other person from speaking. She continued to express her insightful views on emotions, like a counsellor: "Since the feelings between people are fragile and short-lived, you should consider carefully before choosing to date someone! At least you should find out the other person's shortcomings, and be as objective and truthful as possible. This way you can lower your expectations and extend the dating time in disguise."

"Oh - I see." Yuigahama's eyes lit up, and she immediately pondered Kitano's shortcomings.

Yukinoshita found it a little strange, but Isshiki's point of view made sense, and she also unconsciously analyzed the shortcomings shown by Kitano.

"Hmm... I thought about it carefully. Xiaobei doesn't seem to have any obvious shortcomings. Ah, am I being too picky?"

Yukinoshita kindly corrected her: "Yuigahama-san, it should be 'not particular about details'. Please try to use the correct words in your daily life, otherwise your Chinese language performance will be worrying."

"I, I know!" Yuigahama pouted in embarrassment, but quickly recovered and asked Isshi Iroha, "Is my situation normal?"

Isshiki wanted to complain that she was not a doctor in charge, nor a teacher in the health room. What was normal or not, whether her body was well developed or not, whether she was mentally healthy or not? She just wanted to trap the two seniors.

“Ahaha, Yui-senpai couldn’t find any flaws. This might be…”

"Possibly what?" Yuigahama leaned forward, blinking her eyes eagerly for knowledge.

Isshiki gave a helpless smile: "Maybe senior is not suitable for you."

"……Eh?"
