Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

If anything, they were more steadfast in their tribal principles.

These girls aren't a pack of wolves, they're a pack of vultures ready to rip each other apart.

In that sense, high school girls are cruel, and people understand them badly and cruelly.

They should make a nature documentary about them narrated by some eccentric Brits.

After all, there are always some really weird documentaries on the BBC.

"Okay, stop talking."

To some extent, Miura said, Ebina's lack of a coherent response was an acceptable form of proof of the situation.

"Ah..." Yuigahama lowered her eyes.

Poor Yuigahama.

It was almost as if she was wrestling for an amateur world heavyweight champion who had never been seen before.

"Well," Miura continued. "What did she say?"

"Yuki Nao said that the initials of the name are HH student council president and she mispronounced..."

"that's it?"

"Yes."

"So it could still be him, no?"

"Yumiko." Ebina defended. "A lot of boys' names have a capital HH right? How do we know she's referring to Hayama? She could be referring to anyone, no?"

Miura sat quietly.

That woman was a vortex of the worst female vices.

She exudes the scent of fresh perfume.

Any good qualities, judging by her generous assumptions, are overshadowed by her numerous flaws.

Whether she cooks, cooks, thinks.

Miura is a woman who knows what she wants, she always wants what she wants, and can finally get what she wants by complaining.

I even feel a little bit of sympathy for her.

The bell rang.

Hayama Hayato hasn't come to class yet.

"There's only one person whose initials are also HH...."

Miura's eyes turned to Hayama's empty seat.

"...but he might be too far away for me to reach."

-------------------------------------

The cold is not over yet.

It's lunch time, but I need to choose between annoying classrooms and freezing cold.

Although Yukinoshita is not here, I am still a member of the service department.

It is very convenient to have a place to live. As long as I convince a trainee teacher that I am the deputy head of the service department, I can get the key.

When I walked to the unused classroom that was used as the service department, I felt a strange key in my pocket.

I opened the door and walked into the room.

I instinctively set my sights on the window seat.

Today, no one is sitting there.

Sitting in my usual chair, I pulled out my lunch; a curry bun and some milk.

I also drank a can of hot coffee MAX because caffeine is a must in my daily diet.

Then, the door creaked open.

"Yue, Yukino!?"

The door flung open.

Yuigahama rushed into the room.

And I've already started eating lunch.

I didn't even have to look at it to know she wasn't finding what she was looking for.

"Small business..., oh..."

"Yo."

"The door is unlocked... I thought Yukino was there...but..."

"I borrowed the key."

Yuigahama began to fidget.

She held two lunch boxes in her hand, one wrapped in pink floral cloth and the other wrapped in blue cloth.

I guess she thought she could make Yukinoshita a lunch to cheer her up, but that wasn't going to happen...wait.

"Did you buy those bento boxes?" I asked.

"No, no!" Yuigahama said. "I......"

"You made your mother do it?"

She nodded.

What a disgraceful act of non-prayer.

I got up and went to the window.

Despite the cold weather, the sky was clear.

But at the edge of the horizon, dark clouds gather there.

I remember the weatherman saying it was going to rain, or possibly hail, but my gut told me it was going to snow.

Ahhhh... nothing beats the comfort of a hot drink on a cold day.

When I hold the coffee MAX, it is still fresh and warm to the touch, and I take a sip.

What a bliss this is, it even cleanses the soul.

"You seem to be in a good mood, Xiaoqi..."

By the way, Yuigahama is still here.

Turning to face her, I took another big sip of coffee MAX.

"Does that mean I shouldn't be in a good mood?"

"No, I mean... Yukino... and Ha Shan-kun, aren't you worried at all?"

A chill ran up my spine and through my chest.

"No. Or should I be worried?"

Yuigahama froze.

"I see..." She frowned.

I smiled, but it was only a momentary smile.

On a sunny day, a single snowflake may last longer.

"Well, you promised me to help her, right? So, we have to do something! For Yukinoshita!"

"Yueshita can handle it by himself." I replied.

So back to reality.

No, to be precise, this is the reality.

-------------------------------------

Some girls on the tennis team are playing.

I can see cute Totsuka giving water bottles to ungrateful players.

Ah! Look at them, they are all smiling around him... Totsuka's smile is like the sun, and their smiles are like candlelight!

"Ah...that's right."

Yuigahama sat down and said, "Yukino said it's not a problem..."

I turned around and found her still in a state of disbelief.

"If she has something to tell us, she'll tell us," I said. "If she doesn't tell us, it's not our problem."

Yuigahama looked at me, she looked angry.

"Everybody has a secret, Small Business!"

"Yukinoshita won't lie."

I replied, confidently.

I said Yukinoshita doesn't lie.

That woman can hide the truth of the matter.

She can also lie.

But she will not lie.

There are a lot of mental exercises she can do to explain, in the simplest terms that would make a lawyer cry, that nothing she says is a lie.

She is a woman who fully believes in her duty.

Yukinoshita won't lie...

But do I really believe this?

Yuigahama looked at her feet and said nothing.

"Please sit down." I said.

"Let me make tea," she said.

She walked slowly towards the water heater.

But it occurred to me that Yuigahama might not be able to make tea.

I mean, if she can't make cookies, isn't it an exaggeration that she can't make tea?

Hope Yuigahama has enough points to unlock the skill of [making tea] and [pour tea]......

This electrical idiot...

The room fell silent as Yuigahama started fumbling with the button (was it that hard to press "boil"?).

The only sound was her muttering about what she could do.

Whenever the situation gets tense, Yuigahama is usually the one to defuse it, but now, she is the one who makes it tense.

Under the snow disappeared.

Yubihama ascended the throne.

Is this how the embarrassing situation develops?

Does it have to be this embarrassing all the time?

"So...do you have any news from Yukinoshita?" I asked curiously.

"Hmm...'cooked'...um...?"

Hmm, now..., has my existence returned to nothingness? "Hello? Yuigahama..."

"But what does 'unlock' mean? Do I have to press 'unlock' first?"

I got up from my seat and walked towards her.

I think she is so obsessed with a simple water boiler.
