Natsuhiko wanted to ask more.
A "knock, knock" came from the classroom office.
"Yukinoshita, come in!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka looked up to greet her.
Natsuhiko turned around too.
Wearing the uniform, she still stood out. Her standard black long straight hair. Natsuhiko had seen many pretty girls, each with her own special charm.
Neat features, a face so cute it breaks the rules.
Clear smooth skin, bright big eyes, thin pink lips, red butterfly ribbons tied on both sides of her hair, black knee socks showing her long legs.
If Yukino's main trait is what, it's of course—flat (cough).
But thinking of Kaguya.
Natsuhiko had to sigh.
In his harem group, a plain flat chest is a rare type!
Science surveys show only 5.3% of women have A cups, even lower than F cups at 6.0%. Just for that, Natsuhiko thinks they have real staying power.
Of course.
Yukino's unique vibe matched her name. The air around her felt like falling snow. The snow kept falling. She was beautiful, but people stayed away.
"Why knock if you're already here?"
Unlike her rough tone with Natsuhiko, Hiratsuka Shizuka was gentle and caring with Yukino.
"Hiratsuka-sensei, knocking is basic manners."
The girl gave the laid-back teacher a displeased look.
Hiratsuka Shizuka ignored Yukino Yukinoshita's hidden complaint. She turned and smiled, introducing her to him.
"This is Yukino Yukinoshita from class 1-J."
Natsuhiko was curious. In this world, it was odd that Yukino didn't go to Shuchiin Academy.
"This is—"
Shizuka's cute intro wasn't done yet.
Yukino Yukinoshita's cold voice cut in.
"I know him. The school celebrity. Natsuhiko from class 1-A, the transfer student from private Shuchiin Academy that the teacher just mentioned on the broadcast."
"The guy who got number one on the national practice test. They say he transferred because rich kids at school ganged up on him."
"The trash who declared in class at Hoshinoumi that he wants to be 'Harem King,' and now he's fooling around with pretty girls' feelings."
Hey, hey, hey.
Straight to sharp tongue triple combo!
And that rumor is too much. What do you mean ganged up by rich families.
But.
Thinking about it, it might actually be possible.
With that attitude.
Natsuhiko thought if he tried chatting her up on the street, she'd politely shut him down like a gentleman.
Yukino Yukinoshita's long speech gave Natsuhiko no chance to argue. Her words hit like a blizzard, chilling body and soul.
For normal people, anyway.
He bravely stuck out his hand.
"Don't be so cold, Yukino. Let's be good friends!"
"Let me refuse. Just your dirty look makes me feel at risk. It even threatens my purity!"
Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes like she was looking at something filthy. She tugged at her perfect collar and spoke coldly in her clear, pleasant voice.
[Rejected by Yukinoshita Yukino, Youth Points gained +2]
...
Getting rejected without mercy is youth too!
Natsuhiko had to sigh.
Announcing his harem plans too soon brought this backlash. It was totally normal.
This was the downside of showing his true colors.
Natsuhiko clicked his tongue.
Should he have played it safe and grown stronger in secret back then?
Would that even make him a man?
Hmph!
With that thought, Natsuhiko's mood brightened.
But Yukino's gut feeling was spot on.
Wasn't he planning to go after her?
He wisely pulled back his hand. Yukino wouldn't play handshake games anyway. No need to embarrass himself.
As for speaking up.
Since she saw him that way, Natsuhiko shifted his gaze and started checking out Yukino from head to toe. Even among A cups, there are different views.
But from her cold reaction, she didn't seem to need his help. So what was this favor about?
Hiratsuka Shizuka seemed to notice Natsuhiko's confusion and spoke up quick.
"Yukinoshita, I approve your request to start the Service Club. But with just you as president, you can't do any activities."
Yukino pressed her lips but said nothing.
Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled.
"Even so, I've approved him as a special addition. But—"
Natsuhiko clearly felt Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes shift to him. Looks like the "but" was about his little favor!
He wanted to see what trick his cute Shizuka had up her sleeve.
"Oh, but what?"
Yukino Yukinoshita asked back with interest.
Yukino was still too green. That kind of question just shows how much she needs it.
Natsuhiko shook his head.
"Even alone, I have to judge if you can really lead the Service Club as president and handle club activities with future members. So you need a test."
"A test?"
Yukino's face showed no change.
At that point, Hiratsuka Shizuka pointed at him standing nearby.
"It's this guy. This is the job the teacher is giving you. Hope you can stop his 'harem' ideas, and turn him into a normal guy who gets along with regular girls!"
"He's always on about harems. The girls in them are so pitiful..."
Hiratsuka Shizuka sounded like she was telling a sad tale.
What kind of genius move is this? Natsuhiko got it. Hiratsuka Shizuka planned to turn him into a normal guy, and hand the job to a pretty girl who hates him?
He was stunned.
"If my harem makes me pitiful, then isn't the teacher even more pitiful for not being married?"
"???"
Natsuhiko's comeback hit Hiratsuka Shizuka like thunder.
She held her head and complained.
"Yukinoshita, see? He's a bad kid."
Yukino Yukinoshita watched it all and said without mercy: "Then just teach him a lesson with your fists, right?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka answered pitifully: "I can't beat him!"
"..."
It really happened.
"But this is tough. People don't change easily!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded.
"So it's a long-term job. If you want to fix him and set him straight, you can keep doing Service Club activities. If you quit, you need enough members to keep the club going."
Hiratsuka-sensei explained it to Yukino like that.
Natsuhiko finally got Hiratsuka Shizuka's evil plan.
Yukino was a stubborn type herself. If she finished an impossible job, it proved her skill. Plus, it got rid of him as a problem student.
If she quit, she'd have to recruit members herself for the Service Club. That was training too, a test for Yukino Yukinoshita.
Scary woman.
But Hiratsuka Shizuka's plan was good, except the big flaw: bringing him in for whatever reason.
Now Natsuhiko wanted to thank cute Shizuka. This was a free strategy target handed over. Cute Shizuka might end up losing big time.
