Chapter 94 Today’s Yukinoshita Household

Inside the meeting room.

“Yukino.”

A dignified voice reached her ears, and Yukino Yukinoshita finally came back to her senses.

“Mother.”

“The teacher is asking about your academic goals,” Mrs. Yukinoshita reminded her.

What was her daughter thinking about, spacing out on an occasion like this?

At that moment,

The homeroom teacher of Class J in the second year picked up the career path survey form on the desk…

“You’ve chosen Chiba University’s Faculty of Science as your first choice? But Yukinoshita-san, you’re more suited for the humanities, won’t you consider changing? And with your current deviation value, going to Tokyo is also a good option. I suggest you think about it some more, okay?”

Yukino pressed her lips together, looked at her mother after a few seconds, and said, “I don’t want to be too far from home.”

As a family that developed in Chiba Prefecture, attending a top local school was definitely more suitable…

Yukino actually wanted to see the outside world, but she couldn’t go against her mother’s wishes.

“I see. If your goal is just Chiba University, you can get in with the school’s recommendation. This year’s Student Council election, Yukinoshita-san, you can consider participating. The Student Council president of Soubu High School can get recommendation qualifications more easily.”

“Yes,” Yukino nodded.

Mrs. Yukinoshita sighed inwardly, seeing her daughter’s obedient appearance.

If Yukino had insisted on leaving Chiba, how could she have possibly disagreed?

Just like when this semester started, and she said she wanted to try living alone in an apartment.

Compared to Haruno, who was rebellious back then, Yukino, who had always followed her parents’ ideas, made Mrs. Yukinoshita more worried.

Having no subjective opinions, or having them but not daring to speak out,

Either of these was a cause for concern.

The conversation ended.

The two of them left the office.

“Yukino, have you been in touch with Hayato lately?”

“…No,” Yukino replied, her tone tinged with displeasure.

“You and he weren’t close when you were little…”

“Mother, that was a long time ago!”

Such a firm statement surprised Mrs. Yukinoshita; the most intense words Yukino had spoken today were actually related to Hayato Hayama?

‘She’s been disliked to this extent.’

It seemed like there was no hope.

Mrs. Yukinoshita made this judgment in her mind.

Her vengeful second daughter wouldn’t easily forgive others.

“Is there another boy you’re interested in?”

“…Mother, why are you asking this?”

Yukino turned her face away, not responding.

As a straightforward person, she wasn’t good at lying, so not answering directly was the best option.

Mrs. Yukinoshita also didn’t press the issue, simply letting out a faint laugh at the scene.

This caused Yukino’s face to quickly flush with embarrassment.

…………

After finishing the meeting with her daughter and the other party.

Mrs. Yukinoshita got into the limousine, heading in the direction of home.

‘It’s good that Yukino has made new friends and has someone she’s interested in.’

If she were to remain alone and isolated, she would eventually become warped.

If possible, her mother didn’t want her daughter to live like a puppet on strings, even if she would inevitably grow into a mature adult; having some personality in her high school years was a good thing.

Just like…

Mrs. Yukinoshita recalled Asakura Yuu holding up a soda bottle, his expression focused, with the sunlight shining on his face, making him look exceptionally handsome.

‘Come to think of it, I forgot to ask for that boy’s name.’

Perhaps he could cure Yukino of her introverted personality?

However… despite having just come from the office, she didn’t see his parents; was it because they were busy with work, or was there another reason?

Gradually.

The vehicle stopped in front of a luxurious mansion.

“We’ve arrived, ma’am.” The driver opened the rear door.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Mrs. Yukinoshita nodded in appreciation and got out of the car.

She had many tasks to attend to today, and attending the meeting had already forced her to put off many matters.

By the time she finished with her busy schedule, it was already nighttime.

…………

The Yukinoshita household was one where family members rarely gathered.

Since Haruno had moved out to live on her own, Yukino had also moved out at the start of the new semester, only returning home for a few days during holidays and long breaks.

‘I really don’t want to come back.’

Haruno stood at the entrance of the house, rubbing her eyebrows.

She had gone drinking with friends today and it was too late to return to her apartment, so she came to her family’s home to sleep, as it was relatively close.

But communicating with Mother was always difficult for Haruno, no matter how many times she tried.

‘Maintaining her own bottom line and demands while making some compromises…’

Every time Haruno discussed things with her mother, it didn’t feel like a heart-to-heart conversation between mother and daughter, but rather a business negotiation; she didn’t like it that way.

However, her mother’s personality was like that, and if Haruno chose to be spoiled, she would only be lectured by her mother’s sharp words, leaving her no room to retort…

Dad’s too easy to handle, not even worth Haruno’s time to bully.

She pushed open the door.

Haruno Yukinoshita changed into her indoor shoes and made her way down the long hallway, catching snippets of her mother and father’s conversation as she approached the living room.

“It seems Yukino’s taken a liking to someone,”

“Really?”

“Her thoughts are so transparent, you can see right through her… I just wish she’d learn to lie,” Mrs. Yukinoshita continued, “On the other hand, Haruno’s always been hard to read. After moving out last year, she still comes back home all the time – I have no idea if she wants to leave or stay.”

“Haruno’s moving out?”

“Maybe she’s just fed up? She was quite rebellious in high school, even ran away from home a few times.”

“Perhaps… we’ve been putting too much pressure on her, making her handle some of our social responsibilities. She’s only 20, and she’s always out attending events.”

“She’s an adult now, dear.”

“Time sure flies – she’s grown up and learned to handle social situations with ease.”

Mr. Yukinoshita’s voice sounded a bit melancholic.

“If she wants to take over the Yukinoshita family, she’ll have to get used to this kind of socializing… unless…” Mrs. Yukinoshita let out a sly chuckle, “she finds herself a suitable husband, just like you did back in the day.”

“I don’t think young people these days would be willing to become a live-in son-in-law.”

“With a little guidance, they’ll learn to obey, dear.”

As she finished speaking, Haruno could clearly hear her father’s breathing grow heavier, probably because he was recalling some unpleasant memories.

Poor dad, completely under Mother’s control.

‘The art of taming a husband… is it still useful in this day and age?’

Haruno’s mind wandered to Asakura Yuu’s face, the boy she’d only spoken to a few times.

If it were him, she probably wouldn’t need to use it, though.

Clearing her mind, Haruno knocked on the living room door, “Father, Mother, I’m home.”

“Come in.”

Mrs. Yukinoshita’s voice carried a hint of authority.

The Yukinoshita household, still firmly under the control of the Snow Mother.
