Yukino saw Suzune who had left with a disappointed expression, and began discussing her own business. She took out the club application form with a very serious expression.
"President Horikita, I want to apply to create a club called the Service Club. Those who have compassion give help to those in need, this is what's called volunteer activities. Extending a hand to those in difficulty, that's the activity of this club!"
Manabu adjusted his glasses.
"Rejected!"
A moment later.
Yukino and Hiyori had been "kicked out" the door. From inside the room, the Student Council President's final words were heard:
"Change the club name first before reapplying. That name won't pass censorship."
Yukino showed dissatisfied emotion. "That president really has no vision, he doesn't understand the magnificence of the Service Club at all."
Hiyori felt helpless. "Yukinoshita-san, can the club name really not be changed? The name is very easy to make people think various things."
Yukino's eyebrows furrowed even more. "That's because their minds are dirty."
Hiyori: "I think... it's not other people's fault either."
Yukino sighed. "I know that too, but I don't intend to change the name. If changed, it's no longer the Service Club, and no longer the ideal club I want."
"Alright then." Seeing that, Hiyori no longer persuaded, but gave good advice to Yukino. "I have a reading friend named Akasaka-kun, maybe he can help you."
Hearing that name, Yukino felt it wasn't unfamiliar. She held her chin and thought for half a second before remembering who the person was. "Is that the man who was in the Student Council office earlier?"
Hiyori was slightly surprised. "How do you know?"
Yukino straightened her back proudly. "Because since the first day of entering school, I've already memorized all the student names in this school."
"Normal people usually wouldn't memorize all students, right?" Hiyori was quite amazed, but she immediately took out her phone and contacted Ryunosuke to ask for help.
The relationship between Hiyori and Yukino could be said to be quite close. The main reason was because they both were equally "flat".... Besides that, they both liked reading books, so they were very compatible, including with Fumino. Perhaps because of shared feelings and common interests, the three of them got along well with each other.

Meanwhile on Ryunosuke's side, because Suzune had just been rejected by her brother, the girl lost her usual fierceness. She squatted in the corner of the balcony, looking like a quiet neighbor's little sister.
Ryunosuke received a message from Hiyori and replied that they would meet at the library later. He put his phone in his pocket and approached Suzune who was still squatting, then sat beside her to accompany her.
What else could he do, he had already received the mandate and had to complete it well. Moreover, Manabu had already paid him; he had to be fully responsible for looking after his client's sister. After all, after the President graduated later, all his money would become his...
Suzune realized there was someone beside her, but she didn't shift, as if still immersed in sadness from being rejected by her brother.
"Tsk." Ryunosuke clicked his tongue in his heart.
(Is this really that arrogant Horikita Suzune? She really looks like a little sister~ A little sister sulking after being rejected by her brother.)
Ryunosuke just sat beside her without saying a word, only providing silent presence. For the sake of Manabu's money, he had to bear this responsibility.
That's right, all this for Manabu's personal points. Ryunosuke kept brainwashing himself, looking for logical reasons. He wouldn't be willing to admit he did it because of the girl's beauty.
Before long, Suzune came to her senses. She stood up in silence, patted her skirt, and didn't say anything. Ryunosuke also stood up, intending to accompany her walking home.
Suzune bit her lip, wanting to say something, but in the end no words came out. She was still not good at expressing her feelings. After restraining herself quite a while, she let out a long breath and only said, "Thank you."
Ryunosuke smiled. "You're welcome. Besides, your brother already paid, I have to be responsible for you."
"Hmph!" Suzune flipped her black hair, looking dissatisfied with that answer, but she didn't object. She looked toward the night sky and said—whether to Ryunosuke or not: "Let's go back."
Ryunosuke thought he misheard and hurriedly asked, "Are you talking to me?"
Suzune didn't repeat it a second time. Her cheeks slightly reddened, then she walked quickly without looking back.
Ryunosuke followed her without much talk. Until now he still didn't understand what Suzune was thinking. This girl was the type most difficult for him to guess...
Strangely, they didn't quarrel and walked together until Ryunosuke escorted her back to the dormitory. Only after that did he head to the library to fulfill the appointment.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
At the library, Hiyori and Yukino had been waiting quite a while.
Yukino was slightly dissatisfied because the other party was late, but because she needed help, she held back her emotions.
Hiyori greeted as usual, though there was still a slight annoyed tone in her voice.
"You're late, Akasaka-kun."
"'-kun'?" Yukino again noticed that pronoun. She looked with curiosity at the way the two chatted familiarly, as if understanding something but not speaking.
Ryunosuke sat in front of them and looked at Yukino.
"Who is this?"
Of course he knew who this person was, but as usual, he had to act like he didn't know.
"Yukinoshita Yukino," Yukino answered normally, without her usual sharp tongue.
Because the person in front of her was Hiyori's friend, she knew the boundaries of politeness. As long as she didn't meet a very disgusting man.
Hachiman's EQ was actually very high; Ryunosuke intended to learn from him to face future Shuraba... Considering his current condition, if he couldn't control the situation, everything could spin out of control at any time. But he didn't want to let go of either side, so this awkward situation was created.
Ryunosuke looked calmly. After learning Yukino's name, he also introduced his own name. Yukino stated she already knew, because on the first day she had already memorized all student names.
Ryunosuke clapped to show admiration, then immediately got to the core of the conversation. "What business do you have looking for me?"
Yukino sat upright and began speaking seriously. "I want to establish the Service Club."
Like the Student Council President, Ryunosuke raised his hand and said:
"Rejected!"
Yukino: 😐
