Chapter 74 A Man Who Has His Hands on Two Boats? (Seeking First Subscription!)
Nishimiya Shoko's straight shot created a delicate atmosphere.
Shinji Kaminaga chuckled and stroked her long, flaxen hair. "Really, don't say things that could be misunderstood, Sho."
"My gaze was perfectly normal, it was an appreciative look, don't always say I was lecherous!"
After saying that, he found a chair and placed it next to the desk opposite Yukino Yukinoshita, then took out his textbook and began to review.
Nishimiya Shoko, meanwhile, winked at Yukino Okinoshita and Mahiru Shiina with an expression that said, "I've already done it, you can do whatever you want."
She made no attempt to hide her feelings for Shinji Kaminaga.
This frankness put Yukino Yukinoshita under a lot of pressure, since compared to Shoko, she was the one who wasn't frank.
Although Shiina Mahiru was somewhat surprised by Nishimiya Shoko's feelings for Kaminaga Shinji, the understanding girl did not ask any further questions and simply focused on reviewing her lessons.
She was trying to integrate into the club. Since Yukinoshita and Nishimiya were both shrine maidens, Kaminaga, who could instantly defeat three thugs, must also be no ordinary person.
She feels safe here.
Moreover, she was still wondering why the aura emanating from Kaminaga was so similar to that of the person wearing the Ultraman mask last night.
Another thing she noticed was that he treated Yukinoshita very gently.
Hmm—it seems that person touched her head last night and gently comforted her?
If this person is actually Kaminari-kun, then ———
Thinking of this, Shiina Mahiru lost all interest in studying, and her cheeks turned red, just like Yukino Yukinoshita's.
Yukino Yukinoshita blushed because she was thinking about what happened that morning.
And last night, I boldly went to his room and even crawled into his bed.
Will that guy think I'm a promiscuous girl?
That's how teenage girls are; they're prone to feeling insecure and anxious when it comes to relationships.
On one hand, Yukino Yukinoshita hopes that Shinji Kaminaga has feelings for her and that he will always be watching over her.
But as a girl, she was reserved and would feel shy about his gaze, and before long, she would start to overthink things.
Nangong Nayue's assessment was correct.
Yukino Yukinoshita is a bit stubborn and not very straightforward.
However, when her defenses are completely breached and the ice and snow melt, even the Second Miss Yukinoshita will become as soft and helpless as water.
After Nishimiya Shoko was patted on the head, she kept smiling.
After a while, Nishimiya Shoko checked the time, put down her pen, and took out a bento box from the table.
"Alright, it's almost time, Yukino, Shiina-kun, it's time to eat your bento."
"So, Xiaoxiao, why didn't you call me? That's so unfair! You actually joined the others in ostracizing me!"
Shinji Kaminaga feigned grievance and denounced her.
Yukino Yukinoshita rolled her eyes and said irritably, "You're shameless. You would have eaten with us even if I hadn't invited you. Shoko, ignore him. He's just pretending to gain your sympathy."
"Haha, Yukino really knows me well! Well then, I won't be polite, let's dig in!"
Shinji Kaminaga smiled and took out a bento box that was exactly the same as the two of them. After opening the lunchbox, what came into Shiina Mahiru's eyes was the same food as Yukino Yukinoshita and Shoko Nishimiya.
She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
So, is Kaminaga actually dating Yukinoshita and Nishimiya at the same time?
Then, considering that the three of them lived in the same building, she felt that she had discovered an incredible truth.
Kaminaga is actually a womanizer and a two-timing scumbag!
No wonder Yukinoshita always teases him.
There was another thing that intrigued her.
"Um, Yukinoshita-san and Nishimiya-san, I've been wanting to ask you this for a while, why do your voices sound so alike?"
Upon hearing this, Nishimiya Shoko smiled gently and said, "I don't know either, it's probably fate."
"Before, I was born deaf and had limited ability to receive information from the outside world. My speech was incomplete. It was Yukino who patiently guided me so that I could communicate normally like I do now."
"Ah, of course, there's also Kaminaga-kun. If it weren't for him protecting me, I might have been bullied by the brats in my class all along."
Upon hearing this, Shiina Mahiru covered her mouth in surprise.
"Nishimiya-kun, your ears?"
"There's nothing I can't say. I wear hearing aids, and I used to communicate with others using sign language when I was little. My speech is also a bit hesitant."
Nishimiya Shoko brushed her hair behind her ear to show her her hearing aid, then said earnestly, "Shiina-kun, Yukino and Kaminaga are both very, very good people, absolutely trustworthy. Since we're all members of the same club, let's get along well from now on!"
"Yes, I understand!"
Shiina Mahiru nodded vigorously, her gaze towards Nishimiya Shoko filled with sympathy, but also with an even stronger determination to stay in the club.
Yukino Yukinoshita blushed; Shoko's praise made her a little embarrassed.
However, she was still quite happy to be told that she was a very good person.
Needless to say, Shinji Kaminaga also had a smile on his face, his lips curling up completely from Shoko's praise.
After dinner, and with Nishimiya Shoko's self-disclosure, the atmosphere in the club became unusually harmonious.
Yukino Yukinoshita packed up the bento box, including someone else's, without any attempt to hide it.
Anyway, everyone in this club is one of us, and Shiina Mahiru will find out about her relationship with Shinji Kaminaga sooner or later.
"Ahem, now, let's discuss the club's future plans."
Yukino Yukinoshita composed herself and took the initiative to make the suggestion.
"Yes, Yukino, whatever you say, I support you."
Nishimiya Shoko immediately stood up for her best friend, her attitude of giving up on thinking left Yukino Yukinoshita speechless.
Although it feels good to be trusted, she is now seeking the opinions of the club members. Why don't you offer some suggestions?
Shinji Kaminaga thought for a moment and said, "Since our club's activity is to observe special events, the first thing we need to do is to make a name for ourselves and let people know that there is a club like ours that handles special events. Otherwise, no one will commission us to investigate."
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in satisfaction. "That makes sense. Kaminaga-kun, please continue."
"Hmm, let me think. Our club has just been established, so we need some successful cases to make a name for ourselves. This can't be rushed. We need a publicity ambassador to let people know the name of our club."
At this point, Shinji Kaminaga looked intently at Mahiru Shiina.
