Zongman: Unknowingly trapped in the hatchet

"What do you think...Ebina means by this?"

Looking at Ebina's departing back, Yukino pinched her chin and sought the opinions of others.

Perhaps she herself did not realize that she would not say such words when she was alone.

At least, not the first one.

"I think it's pretty obvious... I just hope we can stop Tobe's confession."

As a marginalized person, Hikigaya understands Ebina's behavior of wanting to avoid damaging the relationship but expressing it in a very tactful way.

"So you want us to help Hu Bu create a surprise for her during the school trip..."

Caijia reacted belatedly.

"No...if we really do that, it will probably be terrifying for Ebina."

If it were someone else, Hikigaya would even wonder in his heart if the other person was stupid.

But when he saw Ayaka tilting her head and looking at him with curiosity and admiration, only one thought remained in his mind:

Caijia and the like are really the cutest!

"I feel bad for saying this, but I think Hime is asking us to stop this confession that hasn't happened yet."

Yui said, a sympathetic look on her face.

I failed before I even confessed my love to you. It was almost like forgetting to bring your admission ticket to the college entrance examination and then not being able to enter the examination room.

"But how did she know that? Isn't it a bit too coincidental?"

Yukino still pinched her chin and said suspiciously.

"It can only be Ye Shan. There should be no other answer besides this." Su Qing said.

"Psychology again?"

Yukino teased.

"You said it as if you didn't notice."

Ignoring Yukino's teasing, Su Qing said calmly.

With the other party's intelligence, even if he was not 100% sure, he was at least 90% sure that it was Ye Shan.

It would be better to say that Hayama and Ebina were just pretending symbolically, almost treating the people in the service club as fools.

"Then the situation becomes complicated... We accepted the commission from the Ministry of Finance, but now Ebina comes to us and asks us to sabotage the commission."

Hikigaya said with a headache.

He used to just want to be a marginal figure quietly.

Now, we participate in club activities from time to time, and enjoy the remaining "retirement" life on campus with Caijia and a few others.

But now the commissions are getting stranger and stranger...

"Speaking of which, is there a way to fulfill these two conflicting requests at the same time?"

Yui hung her head, obviously stumped by this logical question.

Yukino, who was standing beside her, tapped the table lightly with her fingers, her brows tightly furrowed.

Apparently, even Yukino couldn't come up with a solid solution the first time.

"Commission? So Ebina just asked us for a favor, but didn't give us a formal commission, right?"

Hikigaya grasped the blind spot. Although he felt that this statement was a bit of a play on words, it might be a good suggestion for other people, but not necessarily in this club.

"There is no essential difference between the two... and there is really no reasonable reason to reject Ebina."

Yukino also felt a bit of a headache from thinking about it and sighed softly.

But the next moment, her gaze drifted uncontrollably towards Su Qing.

Ever since meeting each other, his pretty face always looks calm and relaxed.

Excellent results.

Don't be surprised by anything.

Yukino even saw her sister's back in the other person's view.

Just more generous and more reassuring.

Although he always says some strange things, I can't help but get close to him for some reason.

But... maybe it was those strange words that made her so itchy that she always subconsciously respected and trusted him...

There was no abnormal expression on Yukino's fair face, only her slightly trembling eyelashes showed that her heart was not as calm as she appeared.

[Do you want to choose dependence again? ]

It seemed as if an ethereal voice sounded deep in Yukino's soul, but the voice was so faint that Yukino seemed not to hear it and ultimately chose to ignore it.

"What do you think... How about solving it with truth or dare?"

Seeing that everyone is in trouble, Ayaka wants to contribute to the Service Club like Hikigaya did.

"Truth...or Dare?"

Yukino repeated it in confusion, and being smart, she quickly understood the general meaning from the literal meaning.

But pretending to know something when she doesn't is not her style.

"What is that, a game or something?"

Yukino asked.

"Yes. It's a small game used to break the ice in a gathering or club. Miura and the others have played it in a KTV before."

Yui, who was arguably the most experienced person present, was the first to explain,

"Yumiko and I always play rock-paper-scissors or compare playing cards to decide the winner.

The loser then gets to choose truth or dare as the game punishment.

It’s just that the specific questions or what to do depends on the winner.”

"This idea... seems to be a good one." Hikigaya thought for a while and exclaimed in surprise, "Ayaka, that's amazing."

Regardless of the object, Hikigaya's admiration comes from the bottom of his heart.

Being able to come up with such a seemingly perfect method in such a short time shows that his ability to respond to emergencies is at its best.

"Do you think this method is good?"

Su Qing asked as she continued eating her cookies.

"At the moment, there seems to be no better way."

After determining the specific rules of Truth or Dare, Yukino also began to analyze the feasibility of this method, but before that there was still something that needed to be determined.

"This so-called great adventure is not limited to doing something specific, right? It should include more abstract things. For example, 'confession' can also be considered a great adventure?"

Ayaka and Yui seemed to be the only ones who understood what was going on, so Yukino asked them.

"Eh? When I was playing with Yumiko and the others, I never thought about these things... But now that Koyuki mentioned it, it seems to be the case."

Yui was obviously stunned for a moment.

Girls play games just for fun, and no one would seriously think about the loopholes in the rules of the game.

Well... boys are different.

“You can think of it that way.”

After receiving Ayaka's affirmation, Yukino nodded and continued with her previous analysis:

"Then we just need to let Tobe participate in this game, let Ebina be present, and try to make Tobe accept the punishment, so that he can confess his feelings.

As long as you don't mention in advance whether you are playing truth or dare, you can leave some wiggle room.

If the confession is successful, explain that you chose to speak the truth.

If the confession fails, he will take a step back and say that he chose to confess because of the punishment from other people's games.

This way, we can satisfy Tobu's confession needs while also avoiding the damage to the relationship that Ebina is worried about."

"Wow! Xiaoxue, it's Conan."

After hearing this, Yui clapped her hands excitedly.

She knows how to play truth or dare, and she can understand when someone expresses their feelings through it.

However, she only now understands all the ins and outs of it.

Ok……

No wonder Xiaoqing always told me to use mathematical formulas. Whenever I wanted to know where the formula came from, Xiaoqing would tell me with a smile:

You don't need to know so much.

So this is ah!

but.

Being able to think of this, she has indeed made some progress, right?

No, it’s all because of Xiaoqing’s teaching(*^▽^*)!
