Chapter 14 Reiterating, Asakura Yuu is not a pervert!

You guys know what a flag event is, right?

It’s a common plot device in romance stories, like the hero saving the heroine, getting caught in the rain without an umbrella, or being locked in a school storage room together – all these are flag events.

And things like that are all flag events.

Based on yesterday’s experience, Asakura Yuu summarized the method to gain a large number of points… by collecting romance flags.

[Approaching the silver-haired beauty and getting her contact information]

This event opened up Eucliwood’s personal route, and according to his experience from hundreds of romance stories, Asakura Yuu speculated that the next step would be to actively contact her.

[Helping a classmate who’s bad at cooking learn how to make stew]

This marked the beginning of Yui Yuigahama’s route.

As for how to proceed, Asakura Yuu couldn’t guess, maybe it would be helping her overcome her weakness of being overly concerned with others’ opinions?

[Taking in a runaway rich girl]

This was the starting point for Momo’s personal route… and the next step would be to interact with her father?

‘The third progress bar is off, isn’t it? Why is Momo’s progress so fast?’

The first 2 are still at the starting line, and Momo has already reached the cohabitation step!

…………

In the morning, in the courtyard, the young man basked in the sunlight, his handsome face captivating anyone who laid eyes on him.

At this moment, his eyes were distant, his mind racing with thoughts.

‘Wait a minute!’

Asakura Yuu, holding a watering can, stopped halfway through watering the plants.

He recalled his experiences over the past half month and discovered something strange…

He had never received a large reward of points from Yukino Yukinoshita.

‘After all this time, half a month has passed, and I still haven’t made any progress with Yukinoshita-san’s route?’

What a failure!

Too much of a failure!

Asakura Yuu felt that at this rate, he wouldn’t be able to make Yukino fall in love with him even by the time they graduated from high school.

[You didn’t make me fall in love with you in 2 whole years, how cute~]

Asakura Yuu imagined Yukino resting her chin on her hand, saying such teasing words with a cute expression.

It was decided, this semester he had to start Yukinoshita-san’s route no matter what!

…………

As it turned out, the gap between ideals and reality was vast, and if it could be quantified, it would be the distance between the peak of the Himalayas and the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

The difficulty of conquering Yukino Yukinoshita was like trying to pluck a star with bare hands.

After school, Asakura Yu was fiddling with a whiteboard inside the Service Club.

Written on it was, “[People are constantly choosing between contradictions, putting on masks, burning the past, arming themselves.]”

Yukinoshita-senpai was looking down, flipping through a book in her hands──a pet album, though she skipped the dogs and only looked at the cat sections.

She was a cat lover, but unfortunately, she didn’t have a cat of her own.

Asakura Yu put down the oil pen.

“Senpai, what do you think of this sentence?”

Yukino didn’t even look up; she wasn’t too keen on joining this conversation.

Yukino Yukinoshita was accustomed to solitude and tranquility, and the current environment of the Service Club was comfortable to her.

She recalled Asakura Yu’s suggestion earlier…

“[Every so often, we put up a topic on the whiteboard for discussion, so we won’t get bored.]”

Boredom?

She never felt bored or lonely.

Nor was there any need to seek out topics.

In the half month since the Service Club started this semester, most of the time, it was Asakura Yu who initiated the topics.

Yukino would chat if she was interested, or remain silent if she wasn’t.

Both had grown accustomed to this style of communication.

After all, it was agreed upon joining the club to communicate with sincerity, and if one didn’t want to answer a question, they didn’t have to.

“Senpai~ say something~” Asakura Yu sat back in his chair, looking at her.

“Don’t drag your tone like that, it’s a bit gross.”

Yukino glanced at him before continuing to read her book.

It was only after being stared at for several minutes, his gaze shifting from her face to her long, alluring legs, that Yukino slowly closed her book.

“I feel like I’m being horribly mistreated in your mind,” she said.

“I was just looking at your legs!” Asakura Yu protested his innocence.

Besides, Yukinoshita-senpai was wearing black thigh-highs, and her uniform skirt was quite long, with only a sliver of the hem and the middle of the stockings revealing her pale, rosy skin.

“Your perversion makes me uncomfortable, please change it, thank you.”

“…” Preferences like that aren’t something you can just change.

Yukinoshita-senpai, you should reflect on yourself.

If your chest could capture my attention, would I still look at your legs?

Of course, Asakura Yu wouldn’t dare say that out loud.

If he dared to say it, Yukino would give him a cold look.

“Fine, to prevent you from continuing your disgusting fantasies about me, let’s do that suggestion of yours.”

Yukino said with a resigned expression.

She just wanted to spend each day’s club activities in peace and quiet.

But who would have thought that a certain member of the Service Club was an uncooperative guy.

“President, let me reiterate, Asakura is a ladies’ man, but not a pervert!”

“I know, Asakura is not just a pervert, but also a ladies’ man.”

Hey, that’s not what I meant at all!

Although it’s just a change in wording, I’ve somehow gained an extra shortcoming!

“President, you used the wrong conjunction.”

“Isn’t that right? I naturally came to that conclusion based on the situation.” Yukino said, resting her chin on her white palm.

“I think…”

“I wasn’t wrong, was I?” Yukino smiled.

Asakura looked away from her thighs and let out a sigh: “Yes, you’re right, I’m the one who’s wrong.”

I was the one who brought up this topic, trying to bicker with President Yukinoshita, and I’m the one who’s completely in the wrong!

[Yukino Yukinoshita’s affection level +1, points +1000]

It seems that her affection level increases after she bullies me; what a wicked president.

“The sentence you wrote is a famous quote by Natsume Soseki.” Yukino Yukinoshita changed the subject, looking at the content on the whiteboard.

Burning away the past, arming oneself…

Easy to say, but hard to do.

Yukino Yukinoshita has always lived in the shadow of her sister, following in her footsteps, and the bewildered Yukino couldn’t find her own goal, nor could she let go of the past.

But as for arming herself, Yukino can do that; she closes herself off, enjoys her solitude and loneliness, and treats herself harshly, becoming the school’s top student – that’s her method of self-defense.

“I think that to deeply understand someone, you need to start with their past.”

“I’m not interested in your past.” Yukino Yukinoshita gave him a cold glance.

In the end, Asakura still received a cold stare from the beautiful girl.

Even though he had given up struggling, he still got this result.

Indeed, resistance is necessary.

“On the other hand, I’m curious about President Yukinoshita’s past.”

The conversations they’ve had so far have never involved their families, past experiences, or future expectations, which is why he’s curious.

“The excellent are ostracized by the ordinary, and I’ve been the excellent one since I was a child.”

“…”

You can make being isolated since childhood sound so difficult to understand; that’s so like you!
