    Chapter 41 Yukino Yukinoshita’s Desire for Involvement

    After handling Hayato Hayama’s request, the Service Club’s door now had another sticker on it.

    On the last days of May, Yukino Yukinoshita stood at the entrance of the Service Club, feeling that things couldn’t continue like this.

    After all.

    Despite completing 2 requests, she didn’t have any sense of involvement.

    As for Yui Yuigahama’s request, the kind that could give her nightmares, she’d rather not have that kind of involvement.

    ‘The purpose of the Service Club is to change this terrible world, but every time I’m not the main force behind the requests…’

    She felt helpless and slightly resentful.

    Yukino Yukinoshita admired Asakura…

    She admired his ability to face problems head-on and solve them almost perfectly without avoiding them.

    However.

    She knew she couldn’t become another Asakura, and rather than trying to make Yukino socialize and handle complex relationships, she was willing to maintain the status quo and be a solitary snow lotus.

    A few days ago, Asakura had gone over the details of Hayato Hayama’s incident.

    After listening, Yukino couldn’t understand the thought process of the 3 people involved in the incident.

    Why?

    Despite mutually criticizing each other, they could still maintain peace and even forgive each other?

    Wasn’t that relationship just a fragile, baseless structure that would crumble with a single touch?

    Could apologies and forgiveness really be that simple?

    Yukino Yukinoshita didn’t think she had the saintly personality to repay evil with kindness; if she were maliciously slandered, she would retaliate with even more terrifying measures, cutting them down to the root!

    Her motto was… an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!

    Even the time Asakura had gone to great lengths to help Saki Kawasaki, she wouldn’t have done it!

    ‘What’s Asakura’s goal? Is it for his so-called harem dream?’

    Or was it something else?

    Perhaps.

    Yukino didn’t know for the time being.

    She still didn’t understand him well enough.

    …………

    Meanwhile.

    Inside the office.

    Shizuka Hiratsuka had her legs crossed, a cigarette in her mouth, and Asakura’s homework paper in her hand, reading it in a bored tone:

    “…In conclusion, I want to become a writer in the future, using my pen and paper as a sword and shield to eliminate ignorance and make the world a better place.”

    How boring.

    How uninteresting, Asakura-san.

    I thought your future dreams would be at least becoming a masked rider or a giant of light, but a writer… such a plain profession doesn’t match your chuuni personality.

    Put down the paper.

    Shizuka Hiratsuka spoke up quickly……

    “Saki Kawasaki came to see me at noon today to ask about scholarships. Did you tell her?”

    Shizuka Hiratsuka finished speaking, her gaze fixed on Asakura Yu, who was smiling but not saying a word.

    She knew what was going on.

    She asked again, “Why didn’t you ask me for help?”

    “I wanted Kawasaki-san to face her true self… If you were here, Teacher, would Saki Kawasaki admit she wants to go to university?”

    “You tried to figure out her thoughts first, and then asked me for help. That wouldn’t work, right? You little brat, you think you’re capable, with wings hardened?”

    Shizuka Hiratsuka thought his mouth was truly hard, like a stone in a toilet, smelly and hard!

    Even Thanos snapping his fingers couldn’t shut him up!

    “There’s no time, Kawasaki’s parents only have a few days free each month.”

    He was still being stubborn!

    “What the hell, such a hard mouth!”

    Shizuka Hiratsuka couldn’t help but laugh at his anger: “As a teacher, I’m busy every day, but I still have time to educate you. You think it’s too late, is it really too late, or are you unwilling to ask me for help, wanting to be a lone hero? Hmph, you’re not afraid of anything! Don’t you respect your teacher?”

    I, as your client, am even excluded from the commission!

    You’re good!

    You’re really good!

    “That kind of talk doesn’t make any sense, Hiratsuka-sensei.”

    “No sense?” Shizuka Hiratsuka stared at him, her voice cold and terrifying: “I’ll just ask you one question, what if Saki Kawasaki’s parents aren’t so open-minded, even if you suggest a scholarship, they refuse, what will you do?”

    “…”

    “Slink away from their house? Then curl up in a corner like a stray dog, licking your wounds?”

    “There’s no difference, Teacher, if I fail, if you were in my place, you would also fail.” Asakura Yu said confidently: “Knowing Kawasaki-san’s parents are not open-minded, would you still try to persuade them, Teacher? I don’t think you would.”

    Even if you would, how would you persuade them?

    Offering money? That won’t work.

    The daughter’s head teacher suddenly said that she wanted to borrow some money to spend on her daughter’s college expenses.

    Will Kawasaki’s parents agree?

    No!

    Persuasion?

    After considering the family situation for a while, it was not Kawasaki’s parents who surrendered first, but Saki Kawasaki!

    Although I am gambling, my success rate this time is not low.

    Shizuka Hiratsuka heard his question and stopped answering it, but just put out the cigarette, slowly pressed his right hand against his forehead, lay on the sofa behind him, and sighed deeply.

    ​​After a long time, she said tiredly…

    “I’m really worried about you, Asakura.

    I don’t want to lecture you, and you wouldn’t like me to use grown-up logic to pressure you, but I still have to say it.

    There are more than one way to solve a problem. Even a single sentence can be expressed in countless ways. You can be subtle, straightforward, or even express it through your expressions or silence. One success doesn’t mean every attempt will be successful. A gambler’s fate is only one thing. That is…”

    Asakura Yu continued her words:

    “Bankruptcy, right? I understand.”

    “You have many good qualities. You’re far more mature than your peers, you’re handsome, and you have excellent grades. As a teacher, I like you a lot. You’re my best student, no doubt about it. But, I always worry about you.” Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at him, her voice gentle:

    “You’re trapped in the shell of a being named Asakura Yu. What kind of existence is he in your heart? Perfect, like the sun, warming others. Any difficulty can’t stop him from soaring like a bird across the sky, and people on the ground can only look up at him in admiration. You want to be that kind of person, right?”

    Asakura Yu remained silent.

    “You must be very curious why I understand.” Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled. “Because you’re my favorite student, and I read every single one of your articles carefully. I gave you this assignment both out of fear that you wouldn’t be able to complete it and be set back, and out of expectation that you would come up with the perfect solution. I even had a slight thought that you would be hit hard by reality and run to me, crying in my arms.”

    “You didn’t let me get my way, that’s really great.”

    “Yes.”

    Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded.

    “It’s really great that you weren’t discouraged. I read Yukino Yukinoshita’s assignment report that she gave me yesterday. It was very good. You always seem to be able to solve young people’s problems perfectly. I won’t worry about that. But, the next time you accidentally stumble into the world of adults…”

    She stood up and patted Asakura Yu’s shoulder:

    “Lean on me a little more. Let me feel some of your youthful vigor too.”

    She really is a good teacher.

    Asakura Yu felt this again, clearly and definitively.

    Although he already knew it.
