Walking out of the Chiba station, Natsuyu led the little pendant tagging along behind him, observing the surrounding environment.
The two Tokyoites simply felt that Chiba had a wide field of vision, without so many high-rise buildings, and the density of pedestrians on the street was much lower and less hurried, which made them feel it was novel.
Nearby, there was a group of youthful girls looking at Natsuyu with bright eyes.
Natsuyu was already used to it. Before he could be hit on, he quickly led Rurikawa Tsubaki away.
"Brother, where are we going to find your friend?"
Rurikawa Tsubaki was confused.
According to etiquette, they had come from afar. As a friend, even if she didn't come to the station to welcome them, considering their impoverished situation, she shouldn't let them walk over, right?
"To Sobu High, my friend goes to school there."
Natsuyu was very curious about what kind of expression Yukinoshita Yukino would show when she saw him blocking the school gate.
They had shared joys and sorrows in the Don't Starve World and got along quite pleasantly. Turning around and transmigrating back, only to be subjected to Offline Doxing by a teammate, the scene would definitely be joyous and harmonious.
What should he say to Yukino, and what expression should he use to see her?
He would just use the smile with the most Charm.
Rurikawa Tsubaki blinked, her cool voice carrying a hint of confusion:
"But, Brother, it's vacation time now, the schools are all on holiday."
"..."
Natsuyu stopped in his tracks.
Rurikawa Tsubaki walked in front of Natsuyu, looking up at his expressionless, calm face, her eyes widening slightly:
"Brother, could it be that you didn't think of this?"
"You can just use your phone to contact your friend directly; there's no need to give them a surprise."
"Brother? Why aren't you speaking."
"...Don't tell me you don't have their contact information?"
Natsuyu laughed heartily, gently held Rurikawa Tsubaki's hand, and said tenderly, "Tsubaki, we actually came to Chiba to relax. Now that we've seen the scenery of Chiba, let's go back to Tokyo."
Major mistake!
In Natsuyu's impression, Yukinoshita Yukino would definitely spawn consistently at Sobu High, just like how Genichiro Ashina would automatically spawn in front of you after you learned how to attack and defend.
As a result, Natsuyu overlooked the fact that it was currently the holidays.
Under Rurikawa Tsubaki's somewhat speechless gaze, Natsuyu urgently needed to salvage his dignity as a wise savior and older brother. He revealed a perfectly sunny smile, dazzling a passing group of Gyaru:
"Actually, I have friends in Tokyo too."
Referring to the Two-faced Kushida Kikyo.
Natsuyu and Kushida Kikyo were from the same school. As long as he returned to school and found her contact information and address, he could directly commit Offline Doxing.
'Excuse me, are you Miss Kushida Kikyo from Class A of the third year, who lives in house XXXX and hasn't come to class for XXXX days?'
"Miss Kushida Kikyo, you wouldn't want your Secret to be exposed, would you? Please work hard to make money to keep me, I still have to use your money to keep another girl."
From then on, he would live the life of a Parasite taking care of a little sister, being secretly cursed a thousand times a day by Miss Cold Soba.
But this also had side effects.
Kushida Kikyo would realize that Natsuyu knew her Dark History. Perhaps one day while eating, Natsuyu would pass away peacefully due to accidentally ingesting chemical pesticides.
Natsuyu quickly shook his head, throwing away this end choice.
"Alright, Tsubaki, I actually know where my friend is."
Yukinoshita Yukino's family was a famous construction company in Chiba; with a little asking around, he could find the location.
It would still be very simple for Natsuyu to find Yukinoshita Yukino.
The only problem was that doing so might expose him in front of Yukino's family.
But that was a headache for Yukino. Natsuyu would be very happy to see Haruno and Mother Yukinoshita interrogating Yukino and serving her family punishment.
Good brother, this is what a bro should do!
Rurikawa Tsubaki: "Oh."
Natsuyu was confused.
He had found a long-term meal ticket, so why did Xiao Chun seem unhappy?
It must be because she was more of a Kuudere; she was actually very happy in her heart, just not showing it.
It couldn't possibly be that Xiao Chun hoped he had no money, right?
Impossible.
At this time.
From the small group of Gyaru not far away, pushing and shoving, a cute girl with long blonde hair, green eyes, a confident face, and a powerful aura stepped out.
"Hello there, handsome guy and pretty girl, I am Miura Yumiko. It seems you guys have encountered some difficulties?"
Miura... who?
Natsuyu raised an eyebrow slightly.
Oho, he just happened to run into a local from Sobu High.
Natsuyu revealed a perfect sunny smile, dazzling Miura Yumiko so much that her eyes went slightly blank, and the small group of girls behind her also collectively held their breath.
1.3 Charm, little girl!
...
The morning light shone through the window, illuminating the girl's long eyelashes.
Yukinoshita Yukino's eyelashes trembled slightly. Her excellent biological clock allowed her to wake up quickly, and she spoke as she opened her eyes:
"Natsuyu, wake up, when are we going to... uh."
Yukinoshita Yukino sat up, her scattered long hair falling smoothly in front of her as she calmly observed the familiar room.
"So it was a dream... no, how could that be a dream."
The memories of the scenes she spent with Natsuyu and the others were incredibly clear.
Yukinoshita Yukino could still recall the palpitations of jointly fighting the Spider Warrior, the Fear of encountering the Shadow Monsters, and the scene of opening up to Natsuyu and the others at night to tell Secrets.
"I'm back home."
Yukinoshita Yukino breathed a sigh of relief and lightly pursed her thin lips.
Returning home was a good thing. Kiana could go find her irresponsible father, Natsuyu could start his revenge, and there were Ema and Kikyo...
But if that was the case, what did their encounters in the Don't Starve World mean!
Could they ever meet again?
Yukinoshita Yukino's thoughts were a mess. As she took off her pajamas and prepared to change clothes, her gaze suddenly sharpened when she noticed a patch of bruising on the snow-white skin of her arm.
When did she get injured...
Oh, right.
It was when she pinched her own arm while she was feeling lost and miserable.
Thinking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino's mind brought up the smiling face of Natsuyu when he comforted her. Her memory subjectively added a divine radiance to him, making her mood complex, yet she sighed in relief again.
"Natsuyu, Kikyo, and I are people of the same world; at least there is still a chance to meet. I can go find Natsuyu first, the Rurikawa Family is easy to find, I'll put Kikyo on hold for now."
"Injuries can be brought out, which means if I die in That World, I would probably really die."
"Will we be pulled into That World again? If we enter again, I have to tell everyone this information."
Knock, knock, knock.
The sound of knocking on the door.
Haruno's reminder came from outside the door:
"Yukino, wake up, you still have cram school today."
"If you're late because you slept in, I will tell Mother~"
Yukinoshita Yukino sighed softly and put on the clothes prepared at the head of the bed.
Since things had come to this, she should go to class first.
Opening the door, Yukinoshita Yukino saw Haruno, and all her complex thoughts disappeared, leaving only a calm joy.
"Sister."
Being able to see you, and not making you worry, is really wonderful.
"Eh?"
Haruno was extremely shocked in her heart. She discreetly observed Yukino, and continued observing during the meal.
Since growing up, Yukino definitely didn't have the kind of personality that would happily call her sister and gaze at her tenderly!
Exactly what was it that made Yukino undergo such a massive change in such a short period of time?
Haruno pondered, watching the sight of Yukino's departing back.
There were only a few things that could cause a girl's personality to change momentarily.
It couldn't be that she had fallen in love.
Haha, absolutely impossible.
Haruno let her curiosity spread, planning to thoroughly investigate what had happened around Yukino recently after finishing today's work.
As a result, half an hour later, she received a phone call.
"Miss Haruno, Miss Yukino didn't come to class today. Did something happen?"
"Yes, teacher, Yukino is sick, so I am asking for a leave of absence for her. I'm sorry for forgetting to notify you; it was my negligence."
"It's no problem. I wish Miss Yukino a speedy recovery."
Haruno hung up the phone, her eyes narrowing slightly.
It seemed she needed to go investigate Yukino right now.
An hour later, before the people Haruno had sent out could even relay any news.
Haruno received a phone call voluntarily made by Yukino. After connecting, the sound of a conversation came from within:
"What do you want?"
"A house and money will do."
"Oh, okay. Sis, can you help me arrange an empty house? And give me a sum of money while you're at it."
Yukino added a sentence, "It's best not to let Mother know."
"..."
Haruno's pupils quaked.
She seemed to have heard a male's voice.
Mother, our Yukino has gone bad!
She has actually started keeping a man!
