Yui Yuigahama hesitated for a moment, then released Yae Star's hand, placed the takoyaki box on the stall, and took a small skewer in each hand. She separated one of the takoyaki in the middle, blew on it gently a few times, and finally actively fed it to Yae Star's mouth.

"Ah, open your mouth."

Yae Star looked down, then bit off half of the takoyaki on the skewer.

Before he could say anything, Yui Yuigahama saw the owner behind the stall looking at them with a smiling expression. Her own face flushed red, and she shoved the box of takoyaki into Yae Star's hands, saying shyly in a low voice.

"Okay, let's hurry up and finish and go back."

… …

Meanwhile, inside a room in the hotel.

"What should I do… …"

Yukino Yukinoshita sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the familiar number on her phone, one that she hadn't dialed or received a call from in a long time. Her usually emotionless and delicate face now showed an unprecedented look of entanglement.

After a dozen seconds of inner turmoil, she finally made a decision and pressed the dial button.

"Beep… … Beep… …"

After two short rings, a slightly lazy voice filled with laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello, my dear little sister. It's rare for you to take the initiative to call me. What's the matter?"

Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth to speak.

"Why didn't you come to Tokyo?"

"Eh? Tokyo? Why should I go to Tokyo?"

"Stop pretending. You should know that everyone in our club, including Yae Star, has come to Tokyo for sightseeing, right?"

"I can't hide anything from you. I did hear about it."

"Then why aren't you coming?"

Yukino Yukinoshita seemed a little taken aback by her sister's question, and said with a wry smile.

"Why should I come?"

Yukino Yukinoshita replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Because Yae Star is in Tokyo."

"Go wherever he goes? Wouldn't that be like a stalker?"

Yukino Yukinoshita's emotions remained stable.

"Isn't that what love is all about?"

Hearing her sister's remarks, Yae Star couldn't help but sigh on the other end of the phone.

"Yukino, your view of romantic relationships is still stuck in kindergarten."

"Hmph."

Yukino Yukinoshita snorted softly, hesitated for a moment, and finally tried her best to remain calm and asked the question she had always wanted to ask.

"You… … know Yae Star's true identity, right?"

Yae Star on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, then replied with a smile.

"True identity? I don't know what you're talking about."

"You're still… …"

Before Yukino could finish speaking, Yae Star interrupted with a chuckle.

"In your opinion, what counts as a true identity? Since you used the word 'true,' then which side do you think is false?"

Faced with this question, Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly, not knowing how to answer.

Yae Star seemed to have expected this situation and said with a smile.

"So-called truth and falsehood are just definitions given by others."

"To me, Yae Star is Yae Star. No matter which aspect of him, he is still him. It's just a different perspective."

"His essence as a person, and my feelings for him, will not change because of anything."

"Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Hearing her older sister's words, Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned.

Not because of anything else.

It was just that Yukino had never thought that the relationship she was pursuing, one without any falsehood, would one day be spoken from her older sister Yae Star's mouth.

How ironic.

She clearly believed that her sister, mother, and the Yukinoshita family were all too hypocritical, so she decided to come to Sobu High School in Kyoto, using her three years of high school to pursue a true relationship without any falsehood.

But… …

Yae Star had actually touched "genuineness" one step earlier than her?

"I… …"

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, her eyelids lowered, staring at her bare, snow-white feet on the floor, and murmured.

"I didn't expect that you would say such a thing one day."

"Envious, aren't you?"

Yae Star covered her mouth and chuckled, teasingly.

"Then you must get along well with your brother-in-law in the future. I'm hanging up now, bye-bye."

Listening to the busy tone coming from the other end of the phone, Yukino Yukinoshita was silent for a long time, countless thoughts flashing through her mind.

So, her older sister already knew… … about Yae Star's true identity.

Why did she still guide herself step by step to join the Overclocker Club?

Did she think that she could find the things she had been pursuing in this club?

Thinking of this, a surge of impulse suddenly arose in Yukino Yukinoshita's heart.

She had had enough.

She didn't want to continue pretending anymore.

This situation where she clearly knew, and Yae Star also knew that she knew, but both sides had to pretend not to know… …

It was too hypocritical.

And now, Yukino wanted to break this hypocrisy.

She suddenly stood up from the edge of the bed, not even wearing slippers. Her snow-white bare feet stepped on the carpet, and she snatched the room card inserted in the door, running out with a door-slamming action, taking the elevator to the floor where Yae Star's room was located.

Yukino had made up her mind.

Hiding and concealing wasn't her.

Since she had decided to stay in this club in the future, she would use her usual straightforwardness to break this subtle, secret balance.

Only in this way could she obtain the only answer to genuineness.

Just as Yukino ran barefoot all the way to the door of Yae Star's room, panting, and raised her hand to knock on the door in front of her, she suddenly heard an extremely familiar voice behind her.

"Yukino… … classmate?"

At this moment, Yukino Yukinoshita froze.

She silently turned around, looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka in front of her, and nodded slightly.

"Teacher Hiratsuka."

It exploded, it really exploded this time.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Shizuka Hiratsuka were both at a loss.

The former was thinking.

Why would her homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, appear in this hotel, and even live on the same floor as Yae Star?

Shizuka Hiratsuka was also thinking.

Her gaze swept over Yukino's bare, tender feet on the carpet, as well as her slightly disheveled clothes, and her flushed face, which was obviously after intense exercise, still panting, and her slightly open lips.

Shizuka Hiratsuka thought of an extremely terrifying possibility, and her pupils dilated.

Wait a minute.

Looking at Yukino's appearance, plus the fact that she was standing at the door of Yae Star's room… …

Shizuka Hiratsuka's mind had automatically filled in a scene where Yae Star tried to attack Yukino Yukinoshita, and Yukino put up a fierce resistance, or failed to resist successfully, had a fierce battle, and finally fled from the other party's room in a mess.

Oh my goodness!

Are high school students these days, the students in her class, actually doing such things!?

"What are you two doing standing at my door?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned around, looked at Yae Star standing there with Yui Yuigahama, and gritted her silver teeth.

"You bastard, you're simply an animal! It's a crime!"

"What the heck?"

Yae Star looked puzzled.

"Although these two words of evaluation for me are quite accurate, I haven't done anything yet."

"Haven't done anything yet? Look at you… …"

Shizuka Hiratsuka was only halfway through her words when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

Yae Star didn't come out of the room.

Could it be that Yukino didn't just escape from the room, but just arrived at the door of the room?

So, she misunderstood?

Just as Shizuka Hiratsuka felt embarrassed and at a loss, Yui Yuigahama asked a question that made her heart tremble.

"Teacher Hiratsuka, are you also staying at this hotel?"

"Why… … are you standing at Yae Star's door?"

Chapter 194: Yukino Becomes an Internal Member, Dango Wins Big!

Yui Yuigahama's sudden question directly stunned Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Yukino Yukinoshita also realized this question, and a few traces of suspicion flashed in her eyes.

First, let's put aside the question of why her homeroom teacher, Shizuka Hiratsuka, would appear in this hotel and live on the same floor as Yae Star.

Yae Star's room door is far from the elevator entrance, and you have to go through two corners.

Moreover, because it is a suite, the area is relatively large, and the distance between the rooms is not that close.

Went to the wrong place?

Impossible.

If Shizuka Hiratsuka had gone to the wrong place, her first reaction when she saw Yukino standing at the door of the room would not have been unbelievable shock, but rather a sense of bewilderment, not knowing why Yukino would suddenly come to find her.

Since she said those words to Yae Star, no matter what picture she had in her mind, one thing was certain.

Shizuka Hiratsuka knew from the beginning that this was Yae Star's room.

Yukino Yukinoshita saw through everything.

Noticing Yukino's eyes, Shizuka Hiratsuka knew that she wouldn't be able to get away with it today.

Yukino's personality is nothing like her friend Yae Star, but she shows the similarities of close sisters in terms of insight and intelligence.

"This… … cough cough."

Shizuka Hiratsuka coughed lightly twice, forcefully calmed her flustered mood, and pretended to be calm.

"I'm going back to Kyoto tomorrow, so before I leave, I wanted to find Yae Star and suggest inviting everyone in your club to have a meal together. After all, including Sakurajima-san in the second grade, they are all my students."

Regarding Shizuka Hiratsuka's words, Yukino Yukinoshita just blinked her eyes and gave a brief evaluation of two words in a low voice.
