Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Before her sister even started to help her, Hayama Hayato, the son of the company's legal advisor who grew up together because of their parents' relationship, patted her chest and asked him to help her.

Judging from the situation at the time, this was indeed the most appropriate. Hayama Hayato, who was in the same class as him and was very popular among both boys and girls, was only an abridged version of Hojo Kyosuke, but if he really had If Hojo Kyosuke puts in the effort, maybe the matter can be solved perfectly.

In line with the principle of fair exchange, and by the way sharing the process of forming his concept, Yukinoshita told Yamauchi Sakura about his trauma without any concealment. There is absolutely no intention of making the other person feel uncomfortable.

"At that time, my friend had a conversation with the girls in the class, probably asking them to stop doing bad things to me."

"Isn't that bad?" Yamauchi Sakura exclaimed.

"Yes, the girls' behavior is getting more and more ugly. Thinking about those people's faces still makes me feel sick."

Yukinoshita smiled softly. The wind outside the window blew at this moment, accompanied by the shouts of the football club or the baseball club on the playground.

The wind in the spring evening is neither warm nor cold. The perfect temperature seems to carry the fragrance of flowers at any time, full of vitality. Just like the students running around the campus, squandering their youth and sweat.

The classroom of the Ministry of Service seems to have become a country within a country, and the noise and restlessness are isolated. Even if the end of the world comes, the girl who will sit quietly in a chair and read a book, in this country that operates according to her thoughts, softly narrates the past and witnesses youth with her own eyes.

"Then what?" This time the person asking the question became Yamauchi Sakura.

"I asked him to stop his behavior, and he immediately accepted the request as he was also frightened by the rapidly deteriorating situation. After all, he is just an immature child, and I can understand his confusion. But I don't know if it is because of the boy. His self-esteem is still his admiration for my sister, and he did not hand over this matter to my sister like I did."

"That couldn't be worse!"

Sakura exclaimed again, what Yukinoshita's friend did was just adding fuel to the fire. Helping but not helping to the end will only make those girls think that Yukinoshita has been abandoned by her last friend, and they will only become more unscrupulous in the future.

"Well, it's actually not bad, because I will go abroad later." Yukinoshita nodded, and before Yamauchi Sakura expressed her thoughts, she continued:

"Since then, I have understood that in the end, the only person you can rely on is yourself. Not to mention my friend's wrong approach, even if it was my sister who helped me, when she withdrew her help, the troubles that were temporarily covered up would disappear. It broke out again.

Everyone wants to rely on the strong, but the only one who can really rely on them is themselves.

Since you have to face it alone in the end, it's better to be brave from the beginning.

The girls haven't changed, and I haven't changed either, so the worries won't change either. It's just a despicable act of escaping. "

"Xiao Yukino is also very strict with herself, but isn't escape also an option to solve problems? Isn't studying abroad also a kind of escape for you?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, that is also an escape, but it is to make changes. I have also thought about Hojo Kyosuke's method."

The cover of the novel is cyan on the upper part and blue on the lower part. A huge black cat stands at the junction of the two, looking full of loneliness.

Yukinoshita lowered her head and stared at the book cover. After saying this softly, she folded her hands and covered it, then turned to look at Yamauchi Sakura.

"'Violence'

I once tried to seek relief through violence. Since in their twisted world, I was a weak person who could be bullied at will, then I used absolute violence to force them to change. For this reason, I practiced Aikido.

As you know, I am a genius and can learn everything quickly, so I quickly mastered the force sufficient to carry out justice. "

Yamauchi Sakura opened her eyes wide, ready to hear the bloody revenge plot that followed.

"but……"

"Oh, as expected~~" Sakura wailed.

Yukinoshita glared at her displeasedly, and then continued:

"I gave up, and I realized that the troubles could not be truly solved through violence. This was the same approach as my friends and sister used their popularity to solve it. People still cannot understand each other, and it may even lead to greater tragedies.

Winning with violence also means failure, and the joy of cruelty will eventually end in violence. The troubles will not be solved, and no one will be saved, including myself.

So, I decided to change the world by changing people's hearts. "

"Xiao Yukino is such a weird person." Sakura lay on the table, her chest tightening after hearing Yukinoshita's story.

"Kyosuke never minds using violence to solve problems, and he has done a good job so far."

"That's because he hasn't met anyone stronger than him yet." Yukinoshita said immediately.

"Yes, because he didn't stop learning like you, Yukino. Even now, he is still practicing diligently every day."

"Force is a form of violence, but it is not all violence. Power and money are also consistent disguises of violence. If he meets someone who is stronger than him in these places, can he still use violence to solve his troubles? " Yukinoshita retorted again.

"Although I don't know much about it, Kyousuke has the power to actively improve the two aspects you mentioned. Even if there are many things to do, he will spend a lot of time maintaining friends in society. In the situation you mentioned, if he If he encounters something he can’t solve, there will definitely be someone willing to help him.”

Many times, Sakura would feel sorry for Kyousuke. It was clear that other high school students were worrying about trivial matters in school like fools, but he entered the society early and stood with the adults and worked hard for the future. .

"It is dangerous to place your hopes on others. I have verified this with my own personal experience."

Yukinoshita was unwavering, just as she would disdainfully point out that she knew it was a provocation, and then accept the challenge without hesitation. She was such a stubborn person.

"It's over, it doesn't make sense at all." Yamauchi Sakura covered her face and wailed, then changed her expression instantly and said excitedly:

"Xiao Yukino, why don't you wait for the Kyo Intervention Department to come and submit a request later? He will definitely save you."

"No, I don't need anyone's help now."

Yes, although the art of controlling people's hearts has not yet been perfected, it just cannot change others. As far as she is concerned, Yukinoshita is very satisfied with herself now.

"Yukino, do you know why Ni-chan was so angry before?" Sakura moved her chair and got closer to Yukinoshita.

"Because she likes Hojo Kyosuke, she cannot accept other people's objective evaluations of him." Yukinoshita turned around and stopped the other person from getting closer with her knee.

"Tsk, you really don't want to give in at all."

"Listen up, Kyosuke used violence that you don't like to save Ni-chan from bullying."

"impossible!"

Violence cannot bring salvation, this Yukinoshita Yukino is extremely sure of.

"Of course, there's a lot of love added to it. It's hard for you, Yukino, to explain this kind of thing clearly."

"..."

So why do you think I accepted you problem children into the ministry? Yukinoshita signaled Yamauchi Sakura to explain the matter quickly with a look that could freeze anyone to death.

"But this kind of thing should be Nishimiya-san's privacy. Can I just say it like this?"

Yukinoshita Yukino is the upright person who dares to believe in "absolute justice". Even though she is full of curiosity, she restrains herself with morality immediately.

"Well, even though it's called bullying, it's not actually a tragic thing. On the contrary, just mentioning it will make Glass laugh happily."

Yamauchi Sakura's first words made Yukinoshita frown tightly. In her opinion, there was nothing worse than bullying. However, she did not rush to speak, but quietly waited for the other party's further explanation.

"Let me tell you first, I am not making excuses for my improper behavior. Even Glass herself can say this with a smile on any occasion. She doesn't mind others knowing at all."

In fact, when the two were chatting, Glass also expressed the idea of ​​​​asking Hojo Kyosuke to draw his story into a comic.

"Although there is only one Kyousuke-kun in the world, I want those who are also in despair to know that never give up no matter what. As long as you don't give up, the sun will eventually rise again."

As he spoke, Glass smiled shyly.

Later, she also said that after fulfilling her dream of becoming a voice actress, she hoped to become a teacher in a special school and provide the best help she could to those children who were in the same situation as herself, just like Kyosuke-kun did for her.

"Then just let Kyousuke help you open a school. Glass will definitely become the best principal!"

"No, no, I can't~"

Of course, Glass doesn't feel like he has that power. But Yamauchi Sakura's words ignited a shining star in her heart.

"It's such a great dream. I also want to work in that school and share the food that Kyousuke cooked for me with the children."

Yukinoshita stared at Yamauchi Sakura for five seconds, and this guy added magic to his words again.

Hojo Kyosuke turned the bullying he encountered into a heroic fairy tale that his childhood sweethearts would laugh out loud, and turned the bullying encountered by his friends into something that made him feel happy. Does such a person really exist, or is it the subjective imagination of Yamauchi Sakura?

"What's specific?"

"The thing is very simple. In elementary school, someone wanted to play a prank on Niu-chan, so Kyousuke beat that person up. Then Niu-chan became friends with us, and we have continued to this day."

"I have a question. Nishimiya-san doesn't look like he needs help from others."

To put it bluntly, when facing myself, neither boys nor girls would have the courage to shout out loud. Most people would run away in shame just by the sight of themselves, let alone protest for their friends.

With his previous performance, Nishimiya Glass has surpassed 99% of humans.

"Hahaha, so Yukino, do you think why this matter makes Ni-chan feel happy just thinking about it?"

"Because I met Hojo Kyosuke?"

"Yes, as you said. Violence will not bring about real change. If nothing changes, no one can truly be redeemed."

"Yes, you finally understand."

"So, because of Kyousuke's presence, Ni-chan has changed. She has become the strong yet gentle girl she is now, a girl that everyone loves."

"I will not comment on the role of Hojo Kyosuke in your words, but the final result was not achieved through violence."

Yukinoshita kept this in mind and retorted.

It's a pity that Hiratsuka Shizuka or Hojo Kyousuke are not here, otherwise anyone could tell her clearly. Violence cannot make people really change, but it can make the other person willing to change.

"That's right, then Yukino, you win." Yamauchi Sakura said happily.

"This is not a competition!"

Although he won the victory, Yukinoshita felt a bad breath trapped in his chest, feeling aggrieved and without the usual joy of defeating the enemy.

The most important thing is that the happy smile on Yamauchi Sakura's face makes her feel that the other party is the real winner, and the other party has got what he really wants.

"Anyway, that's it. I hope you won't be angry with Niu-chan, because Kyosuke is such an important person to her. Besides, your initial doubts should have been answered, right? How do you think she should make such a person How about leaving Kyousuke and I’s world?”

Yamauchi Sakura threw the question to the "wise man" Yukinoshita Yukino, wondering if this smart man who was calm, rational, and absolutely righteous could give an answer.

"...I don't know, but like you are now, the troubles are just temporarily hidden, and you still need to face them eventually."

After thinking for a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino, whose head hurt a little, shook her head and said.

Although Yamauchi Sakura's words were unclear, it was enough for her to see the unbreakable bond between Nishimiya Glass and Hojo Kyosuke.

Facing Nishimiya Glass, whose life had changed because of this, she could no longer say that it was dangerous to place her hopes on others. Because as far as the current results are concerned, Nishinomiya's changes are only good, although in her opinion Hojo Kyosuke is still not someone who can always rely on.

"Tomorrow's wind will blow tomorrow. Let my future self enjoy such worries~"

Sakura said happily, although she could occasionally see the battle between Eriri and Kasumigaoka-senpai at home, but that was not enough. Just thinking about what would eventually happen in the future made her very excited.

Maybe at his own wedding, girls wearing all kinds of wedding dresses will run out from all directions, and everyone will tear Kyosuke's clothes to pieces together. Or maybe everyone has a fight first, and the winner gets the right to get married. In this case, Yukino should be able to win, right? After all, didn’t she say she had practiced Aikido before?

"Sakura-san, what do you want me to say?" Yukinoshita sighed helplessly.

"Just smile. I wanted to say it before. Yukino, you look so pretty when you smile, but you always have a cold face."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's the fool who smiles all day long."

"No way!"

"..."

Dong Dong——

There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Yukinoshita calmly distanced herself from Sakura Yamauchi, who had become very close.

The sliding door opened, and Hojo Kyosuke walked in first and sat back down consciously, while Glass slowly walked to Yukinoshita.

"Yunoshita-san, this is for you." Glass handed the strawberry yogurt to Yukinoshita Yukino. There was no shyness or hesitation, but her face was slightly red.

"ah!?"

Because she was too surprised, Yukinoshita shouted softly. She never expected that Nishimiya Glass, who was so angry before, would actually bring her a drink. Such an experience was rare in her memory.

"Thank you, how much is it?" She took the drink and immediately took out her wallet.

"No, no need, let me treat you this time." Glass shook his head.

"But you have no reason to treat me." Similarly, I have no reason to accept the treat.

The few times she had drinks in her memory, she only accepted them after she had helped others, in order to satisfy the other person's desire to repay their kindness.

"Yukino, if there is any minor conflict between girls, they will use snacks like this to express friendship." Sakura said in a low voice.

"Really, really?" Yukinoshita also asked in a low voice, and gently tugged on Sakura's sleeve with one hand.

"Yes, and..."

Yamauchi Sakura moved her chair, openly approached Yukinoshita and whispered into Yukinoshita's ear. The latter nodded repeatedly and said "um" and "um" with an expression on his face that said "I see" and "I have benefited a lot."

Glass turned his head to look at Hojo Kyosuke at a loss, but the latter was also dumbfounded.

As expected of Yukinoshita, not only did she have no friends, she even lacked attempts to make friends. If there is a rank in loneliness, Yukinoshita Yukino will definitely be able to dominate everyone.

"Ahem, thank you for the drink, Nishimiya-san, I will return the gift next time." Yukinoshita stood up and nodded seriously.

"Yeah~" Glass didn't refuse, smiled softly, walked back to his seat, and continued to be the interviewer.

"Kyosuke Hojo, although I still have many questions about you, I have other things to do next, so I agree to your joining the club first."

Yukinoshita handed over the application for joining the club on the table.

"Pah, pah, pah—"

Sakura and Glass applauded at the same time.

"Thank you, Minister Yukinoshita, but what was the other thing you were talking about?"

Hojo Kyosuke had an ominous premonition. For the service department, is there anything more important than the membership assessment? No, it doesn’t seem like there is anything that needs to be done here!

Yukinoshita looked at someone with a look like "Are you an idiot?" The person was completely unconscious, and he was not an idiot. How could he recognize it if he had never seen such a look before?

"Here are the leader of the red team, the assistant commander, and..." Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, then pinched her nose and recognized the strange position:

"And the deputy leader, of course, wants to discuss the sports festival."

"Don't be lazy, Kyousuke, I want to lead the red team to win!" Sakura stretched out her right hand and shook it left and right in a scissors motion, her face full of pride.

Hojo Kyosuke looked at Glass next to him and saw that she had quietly turned her head to look out the window.

No, although I had imagined the scene of the three of them discussing things together in the conference room and issuing instructions, this happened too quickly! And why is there another Yukinoshita Yukino, with the other party's serious attitude.

The relaxing and happy fishing life imagined with beautiful girls will soon turn into a painful overtime life. No wonder there are problems with her youth love story. Is she trying to turn love into a debate competition?

Whether he wanted to or not, for the remaining hour or so, Hojo Kyosuke was discussing the sports festival with the three of them.

There is a whiteboard for presentations, a notebook for recording meetings, three notebooks with student office labels, and some records from previous years.

Everything needed for the meeting has been prepared by Yukinoshita. If nothing else, having a secretary like this would be really comfortable.

The arrangement of tables and chairs was also slightly adjusted. The whiteboard was placed by the window on the right front of the classroom, and four people sat in front of the whiteboard in pairs facing each other. Beside Hojo Kyousuke is Sakurara, and opposite is Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita stood up and wrote the word "leader" with a black marker on the top of the whiteboard, and then wrote "actor leader", "door leader" and so on in the row below.

"The first is the troupe. This is the activity that takes the most time, so the decision should be made first."

In fact, Yukinoshita had made it very clear in the Kendo club activity room that anyone could just copy the homework, but there was one most crucial point that she still hadn't figured out yet.

"...Ye Lai Wu has a relaxed and lively dance style, and is very easy to learn. The costumes are also very simple, and you can easily make them even if you don't know how to sew. There will be very little pressure on both the performance department and the costume department."

It can be seen that Yukinoshita has made some preparations after being invited to become the "assistant chief". On the notebook in front of the three people, there is a video of Yosakoi dance and a design drawing of a yukata. This is information for other celebrations. They want it. If you use it, you just need to adapt it according to your needs.

Although it was said to be a meeting, Yukinoshita still looked like she was giving a campaign speech, as if she wanted to do everything by herself.

Is this what you call relying on your own strength?

Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino writing a bunch of words on the whiteboard, Sakura sighed silently, and then raised her hand.

"Yukino, wait a moment, you made a mistake."

"Me?" Yukinoshita frowned and lowered her head to check the small notepad in her hand.

"It's not that. You should know that we are discussing now, right?"

"Well, I do know this." Yukinoshita was still confused.

"We are a team, you don't have to do everything." Sakura said with a sigh.

"But this is the most efficient way, and didn't you invite me to be the assistant chief because my plan is excellent?"

"..."

At this moment, not to mention Hojo Kyosuke, even Glass lowered his head in embarrassment.

Yukinoshita was keenly aware of the changes in everyone. She closed her mouth, raised her right hand and put it under her nose, thinking.

"Deputy leader, what suggestions do you have?" Sakura opened the next topic directly.

"First of all, we need to make it clear what exactly the sports festival is to students and why it is held."
