【Yukino Yukinoshita: Tohno-kun, I'm sorry for my attitude yesterday.】
【Yukino Yukinoshita: Please forgive me, I will apologize properly.】
【Yukino Yukinoshita: My sister seems to have also encountered a supernatural event, could you please take a look?】
【Yukino Yukinoshita: Please! I will do anything, no matter what the conditions are!】
‘She's determined! ’
Tohno Masashi had a strange expression and couldn't help but comment: ‘My sister is a siscon, is her younger sister a hidden siscon too?’
Of course, that wasn't what made his expression strange.
It was because both Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukino sent requests for him to help Yui look into the problem.
Didn't the two sides communicate?
“Alright, I can.”
Tohno Masashi replied to Hiratsuka Shizuka verbally, while simultaneously replying to Yukino on his phone.
……
【Tohno Masashi: Alright, I can.】
【Tohno Masashi: Choose a time and place, and tell me once it's decided.】
Looking at the reply on LINE.
Yukino let out a breath of relief, finally loosening her tightly clenched fist.
‘Great, Tohno-kun agreed. ’
But Yukino couldn't help but frown, feeling somewhat confused; ‘Strange, I’ve said all this, why hasn't he made any requests? ’
‘Could it be that he'll make them after the matter is done? ’
‘Then you have quite good service etiquette. ’
A sarcastic smile curled Yukino's lips.
In her heart, she had already labeled Tohno Masashi as a complete jerk.
At this moment.
Yui finished her phone call and returned after opening the door.
“Done.” She said to Yukino with a relaxed smile, “I've found someone, we'll meet tonight, and I'll ask them to help me investigate.”
“Really?” Yukino was slightly surprised, not expecting her sister to be so efficient.
Does my sister also know people in that field?
While surprised, Yukino added, “Sister, I want to go with you!”
“Ah, that's not necessary.” Yui waved her hand.
“No, I'll go with my sister!” Yukino’s gaze became unwavering, “I'm not at ease leaving you alone, if there really is something, we can take it on together!”
“Yukino…”
Yui was incredibly touched, she hugged Yukino tightly, burying her in her expansive embrace.
“Wuu-wuu, that’s great, Yukino.”
“You’re so concerned about me.”
“Sister is so happy!”
Yukino was suffocated by the pressure from the cleanser, she felt annoyed and embarrassed. Why, even though they were from the same parents, didn't she have the grandeur that her sister possessed?
She pushed Yui away forcefully, and said huffily, “In any case, I’m going with you tonight.”
“Hmm-hmm, no problem!” Yui nodded with a smile, thinking to herself that it was someone Shizuka introduced, so she could trust them.
It would be good to let Yukino see for herself.
……
……
In the evening.
Yui drove to Totsuka High, picking up Yukino to head to the restaurant they had reserved.
Hiratsuka Shizuka had no classes in the afternoon, so she was at home. She also drove Tohno Masashi, setting off for the restaurant.
“My name is Yukinoshita, I've made a reservation for room number 3.”
Yui led Yukino into the restaurant, and said to the waiter.
“This way, Ms. Yukinoshita.” The waiter led them, taking the two sisters to the private room.
Yui and Yukino took their seats.
Not long after.
Tohno Masashi and Hiratsuka Shizuka also arrived, and under the waiter's guidance, entered the private room.
“You’re here, Shizuka!”
Yui warmly stood up to greet her, then she saw Tohno Masashi who had come in behind Hiratsuka Shizuka, and her expression showed some surprise.
So young!
Could this high school-looking boy be the professional Shizuka mentioned?
“Tohno-kun?”
Suddenly, Yukino’s surprised exclamation came from behind.
Tohno?
Hearing this name, Yui’s expression went blank for a moment, her mind racing with lightning speed.
The professional Shizuka introduced and her own younger sister were the same person!
“It’s a coincidence, Yukino.”
Tohno Masashi smiled and greeted them, “Of course, seeing me again isn't a good thing for you.”
After all, one would only seek out him, a ‘professional’, when encountering such matters.
Yukino? ×2
Hearing Tohno Masashi directly call out Yukino's name, both Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yui's expressions changed slightly.
“It's definitely not a good thing…” Yukino was also taken aback, she felt a little helpless, so she shifted the topic to the main matter, saying, “I didn’t expect that you're the one Sister found, I'll have to trouble you again this time, Tohno.”
As she spoke, she solemnly bowed.
Seeing this, Yui had no choice but to bow along.
They hadn’t even asked for help yet, and they were already performing a grand courtesy.
Yui felt a surge of frustration, this was the first time she had felt outmatched in a social setting.
‘Tohno Masashi, right? I’ve got you in my memory!’
Yui gritted her teeth in secret, becoming twelve points alert.
This kid was getting too close to her younger sister, he was even directly calling her by her name, could he be planning to become her brother-in-law?
No way!
She wouldn’t agree to this marriage!
After a whirlwind of thoughts, Yui finished her bow, her expression reverted to that of the graceful and sophisticated eldest daughter of a prestigious family, and she smiled as she invited Tohno Masashi and Hiratsuka Shizuka to sit down.
After ordering food, they chatted for a while.
Yui only then learned that her younger sister had experienced a supernatural event not long ago, and had almost been in danger.
“Yukino, why didn’t you tell me!!” Yui anxiously exclaimed, her voice even becoming sharp.
“It’s already been resolved, there’s no need to worry you.” Yukino calmly replied, “Besides, this kind of thing, most people wouldn't believe it anyway.”
“But…” Yui was exasperated.
While Yukino’s words held truth, she couldn’t accept it.
As a siscon, she couldn't accept being absent when her sister encountered danger.
“You have to tell me next time!” Yui said seriously.
“Yes, yes…” Yukino nodded helplessly.
Then, Yui went on a long rant, nagging for a while before finally letting go of Yukino.
She adjusted her mood and looked at Tohno Masashi.
“Tohno-kun, Shizuka already told you about my situation.” Yui put on a polite smile, and asked in a gentle and graceful manner, “Please, is this situation something related to a supernatural event?”
“Hmm…”
Tohno Masashi was lost in thought.
This attitude made everyone else nervous.
“What’s wrong? Is the problem very serious?” Yui asked anxiously.
Yukino and Hiratsuka Shizuka also looked at Tohno Masashi nervously.
“It’s not that serious, but the being behind it, its intelligence and cunning are quite high…” Tohno Masashi said thoughtfully while looking at Yui.
To be more precise, he was looking at the thread behind Yui’s neck, a thread that extended towards the ceiling.
