Chapter 78 Best Friends Forever ~ Harmonious Club Development!

"Alright, it's almost time, Shiina. You've successfully mastered your spiritual power. Now you just have to rely on your own hard work to cultivate and accumulate energy."

As Yukino Yukinoshita spoke, she took out her phone and checked the time.

"It's getting late, and our club activities are almost over. Let's go back."

"Yeah, let's go together, Nishimiya-kun too, since we all live in the same building anyway." Shiina Mahiru smiled and invited her two new friends.

"Okay," Nishimiya Shoko readily agreed.

"Hey, have you forgotten about me? I'm going the same way!"

Shinji Kaminaga couldn't help but grumble.

None of these three girls invited me; that's really too much!

Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head and looked at him with disdain. "You would have followed us even if we hadn't told you, so stop talking and let's go back."

"By the way, the food in the fridge is almost gone, so you're in charge of going grocery shopping today!"

"Sure, no problem. I love shopping! I'll bring you snacks later."

Shinji Kaminaga smiled and replied, his gaze involuntarily falling on her pink lips.

When Yukino Yukinoshita saw his gaze, her face immediately turned hot. How could she not understand what he was thinking?

"Hmph, let's go home." She glared at him fiercely, suppressed her panic, and took the lead in picking up her bag and leaving the club activity room.

Shiina Mahiru and Nishimiya Shoko followed, and Yukino Yukinoshita took out her key to lock the door before going home with her two friends.

All three girls were very beautiful, and Shiina Mahiru even gave a speech on behalf of the new students at the opening ceremony. She was even more famous than Yukino.

Three beautiful girls standing together make for a stunning sight.

The presence of Shinji Kaminaga drew disdainful smirks from passing boys, their eyes filled with envy.

There's no way around it, Shinji Kaminaga is not only handsome, but he also gets to go home with three super beautiful girls. Any guy would be envious and jealous.

At this moment, Shinji Kaminaga is the dream of every boy who wants to celebrate his youth.

Hayato Hayama, who had just come out of the soccer club, also saw Shinji Kaminaga and Yukino Yukinoshita walking ahead with Mahiru Shiina and Shoko Nishimiya.

Hayato Hayama gave a wry smile.

Because when she passed by him, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't even glance at him.

He sighed and could only nod to Shen Yongxin as a greeting.

Shinji Kaminaga nodded slightly in response.

He wasn't familiar with Hayato Hayama and they hadn't spent much time together, so there was no need for him to show too much emotion.

From the moment he chose "everyone" to become class monitor in elementary school, giving up Yukino Yukinoshita, Hayato Hayama was expelled from the Yukinoshita family circle.

"Hayato-kun, that guy is Kaminaga, right? Wow, what a lucky guy, walking with Shiina-san and Yukinoshita-san. They seem to be on good terms."

Tobe Sho, with his flamboyant long hair, looked at Shinji Kaminaga's back with a sour tone.

Yukino Yukinoshita is one thing.

Even a glance at the icy beauty, Tobe Sho, would make you feel like you'd get frostbite, but Shiina Mahiru is different!

She's an angel, how could she possibly be associated with Shinji Kaminaga?

Shinji Kaminaga has been especially popular with girls since he was a child.

Tobu Sho still remembers the embarrassing incident of him soiling his pants during that summer camp.

Furthermore, because several pretty girls, including Naoka Ueno, refused Shinji Kaminaga's invitation, Tobe Sho immediately harbored resentment towards Shinji Kaminaga.

Hayato Hayama smiled helplessly and said reassuringly, "Don't think about it so much, Tobe. Isn't Kaminaga-kun always like this?"

"Seriously, don't you want to join the soccer club?"

"No, no, I'd rather not. I'm not good at physical activities. I can just cheer you on, Hayato-kun!"

Faced with Hayama Hayato's suggestion, Tobe Sho quickly shook his head and refused.

Although he also wanted to be an athletic guy, to shine on the field and attract girls' attention, the thought of joining the soccer club and having to start from the bottom, retrieving balls for the seniors, made him extremely unwilling.

Let's give this chance to shine to my good friend Hayato; he can just stand by and cheer.

Seeing that the Ministry of Revenue lacked ambition, Hayato Hayama shook his head helplessly.

He said no more, and after bidding farewell to the Ministry of Revenue at the school gate, they went their separate ways.

We arrived at Shinji Kaminaga's side.

Looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's calm back, he couldn't help but tease her.

"Yukino, do you remember that blond boy from earlier?"

"Who?" Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Nishimiya Shoko suppressed a laugh. "It's Hayama-kun. He even seemed to greet you, but you completely ignored him, Yukino."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita pouted in disdain.

Why bother with him? We're not even acquainted.

"As expected, Yukino still cares about the past. Poor Hayama-kun, he was just ignored like that."

Shinji Kaminaga shrugged, his expression clearly showing his delight.

Yukino Yukinoshita understood perfectly well that he was simply acting out his competitive and possessive nature.

He felt smug seeing that he ignored the blond handsome guy Hayama Hayato and only befriended him.

Yukino Yukinoshita rolled her eyes at the person, then raised her hand and flicked her hair, causing the red rope to tremble twice.

"Don't mention him. I've long forgotten about what happened when I was a child. It's nothing to care about. And things are fine now. I don't think I need to change my attitude towards him."

As long as that idiot Shinji Kaminari keeps caring about her, that's enough for her.

As for any other men, let them get as far away from her as possible!

As Shiina Mahiru listened to her companions' conversation, she couldn't help but show a curious expression.

"Um, what are you referring to as something from your childhood? If it's convenient, could you tell me? Oh, of course, it's okay if you don't want to tell me."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "There's nothing I can't say."

"But it feels weird for me to explain it, you idiot-kun, you explain it."

Yukino Yukinoshita entrusted the task of telling the story to Shinji Kaminaga.

Shinji Kaminaga raised an eyebrow. "If I'm the one saying this, Yukino, don't be angry."

"Shiina-kun, actually it's like this."

"When Yukino was little, she was ostracized by the other girls because she was cute and had excellent grades."

"Items like indoor shoes and recorders are often hidden away."

"And the trigger for everything was the election for class monitor."

"A class monitor election? Could it be that his opponent is that Hayama-kun?"

Shiina Mahiru covered her mouth and gasped in surprise.

"That's right, it's him. Obviously, Yukino is not good at compromising, so she lost to Hayama Hayato, and even became more ostracized because of Hayama Hayato."

"Because of this incident, Hayama probably feels guilty towards Yukino. He wants to make amends but doesn't know how, because when Yukino was being ostracized, he tried to help her integrate into the group, but it only made her more ostracized."

"I don't want any compensation, or rather, I don't care about him at all. If you hadn't brought him up, I wouldn't even remember him."

Yukino Yukinoshita spoke calmly, a confident expression on her face, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

"Moreover, and most importantly, I don't feel like I was ostracized; it's just that I didn't want to play with them. In other words, I ostracized all of them!"

"It was the same during junior high school!"

Seeing her proud demeanor, Nishimiya Shoko and Shiina Mahiru felt a pang of heartache.

The two exchanged a glance and, in perfect unison, raised their hands to gently grasp one of Yukino Yukinoshita's delicate hands.

Nishimiya Shoko: "Yukino, I'll always be by your side, your best friend!"

Shiina Mahiru: "Yukinoshita-kun, it was hard to say before, but now that I'm here, I definitely won't leave you alone anymore."

Seeing her two friends looking at her so tenderly, Yukino Yukinoshita withdrew her hand somewhat uncomfortably.

"What? What's with those looks? Of course I consider you friends too, don't look at me with pity! I don't care at all about how I used to ostracize others!"

"This isn't pity; it's an expression of treasuring friendship."

Nishimiya Shoko spoke solemnly, raising her hand to hug Yukino's arm in an intimate gesture.

But inwardly, I couldn't help but think, "You're not ostracizing others, you're the one who's been ostracized to the point of having no friends at all."

No wonder, Yukino is always like this, she refuses to bow down to others or admit defeat, and she won't compromise with complicated interpersonal relationships.

Shiina Mahiru also hugged her other arm.

The three girls looked like close sisters, which made Shinji Kaminaga feel a pang of sadness.

"Shoko, Shiina-kun, stop bothering Yukino. You can hug my arm too."

Upon hearing this, the three girls turned around in unison and each rolled their eyes at him.

"You wish!"

"Get out of here!"

Don't even think about it!

Shinji Kaminaga: "...

Good grief, you guys are making me seem a bit redundant. Don't give me a chance to be alone with you, or I'll take you down one by one!
