Yukino Yukinoshita: What to do with a cheating cat?

Chapter 96 Yukino Yukinoshita: What to do with a cheating cat?

A little while later, Nishimiya Shoko returned to the kitchen with a pleasant smile.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at her smile and didn't think much of it at first.

But when Nishimiya Shoko passed by, a familiar scent made her heart skip a beat.

Frowning, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Shoko Nishimiya's smile and a word involuntarily came to mind.

A cat that steals fish!

Nishimiya Shoko's smile at that moment was just like a cat sneaking a bite of dried fish while its owner was away.

She wanted to be angry, but she couldn't bring herself to be.

After all, she was actually the one who ran away first.

What frustrates Yukino Yukinoshita is that Shinji Kaminaga is just too easily tempted!

Although she understood.

Shoko's ample bosom was more alluring than mine, but I still felt a pang of jealousy.

As she was lost in thought with mixed feelings, Nishimiya Shoko suddenly smiled and took her hand.

"Yukino, it's your turn to make the bento today. Kaminaga-kun says he's really looking forward to it."

"Hmm—what could he possibly expect? It's not like he's never eaten before—" Yukino Yukinoshita pouted, subconsciously replying with emotion.

"Hehe, since it's Yukino who made it, I'm looking forward to it too. Don't look so lonely. Kaminaga-kun isn't going to leave your side anyway."

"Um, Shoko, I—"

"Alright, alright, stop overthinking. Aren't we friends? Since we're friends, don't worry about such trivial things. I don't want to lose Yukino's friendship no matter what, so relax, everything will be alright."

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was being comforted, gave her a complicated look and nodded solemnly in response.

"Yes, it will be alright, Shoko, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for? There's no need for all those roundabout ways between friends. Yukino isn't good at that kind of thing, is she?"

Nishimiya Shoko has always been accommodating to her.

Realizing this, Yukino Yukinoshita's gloom dissipated, replaced by a confident smile.

"Yes, best friends, forever!"

Yukino Yukinoshita has recovered and her last bit of depression has dissipated.

What is she struggling with?

Shoko was so gentle and accommodating towards him, yet he was still jealous of her.

Shiina Mahiru watched the interaction between the two and felt a little envious.

Although she is called an "angel," her interactions with others are actually tinged with an invisible barrier.

Being friendly to everyone is actually just a perfunctory way of getting along with others.

It is a polite exchange that will never involve genuine sincerity.

However, Shiina Mahiru is confident in herself.

She will also try her best to gain the friendship of Yukino Yukinoshita and Shoko Nishimiya!

While the three girls were getting along well, Shinji Kaminaga was already dressed and standing at the kitchen door.

He rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm so hungry, Yukino, Kosho, and Shiina-kun, can we eat now?"

He wasn't actually that hungry; he just wanted to say hello and let the girls know he was there.

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head and gave him a disdainful look, saying irritably, "It's already done, you freeloader! You got up the latest, so you have to serve the dishes!"

"Okay, I'm coming right now."

Shinji Kaminaga chuckled as he stepped into the kitchen, passing by the angel Mahiru Shiina who was secretly watching his expression, before picking up a plate and leaving.

They looked like they couldn't wait to start eating.

He wasn't angry when people said he was a kept man; instead, he seemed rather pleased.

The fact that Yukino could say that means she already agrees with his idea.

And since he's living off a woman, who suffers the most? Of course, it's Yukino.

Hehe, being a kept man is so appealing, why not?

Yukino Yukinoshita watched his retreating figure, her lips slightly pouting.

"Shameless fellow."

The girl muttered a complaint under her breath and followed them out.

"Let's go, Shoko, Shiina-kun, let's get out of here quickly, or we'll have to redo everything if he eats it all."

"No way, Kaminaga-kun isn't the type to hog everything, is he?"

Shiina Mahiru said with amusement, inwardly marveling at the closeness between Kaminaga-kun and Yukinoshita-kun.

This is clearly flirting in front of her and Shoko.

Hearing Shiina Mahiru's words, Yukino Yukinoshita shrugged and said meaningfully, "That's not necessarily true. He actually loves to sneak food! He might have been eating alone behind our backs for a while now."

Nishimiya Shoko couldn't help but roll her eyes.

If we're talking about eating alone, Yukino, aren't you the same?

You two are equally bad, okay?

Yukino, the philandering cat!

When Yukino Yukinoshita saw the look in Nishimiya Shoko's eyes, she instantly understood.

She scratched her cheek somewhat awkwardly and subconsciously quickened her pace.

Indeed, there's no way to refute that.

She was the one who ran away first.

If she hadn't been frightened by the crushing power and despair of the vampire progenitor that night and hadn't taken the initiative to crawl into his bed, her relationship with Shinji Kaminaga would never have developed so quickly.

"I'm starting!"

Shinji Kaminaga's eyes lit up as he looked at the exquisite breakfast in front of him, and he couldn't wait to start eating.

Yukino Yukinoshita, Shoko Nishimiya, and Mahiru Shiina all glanced at him subconsciously and began to enjoy their own breakfasts.

After breakfast, the group headed to Zongwu High School.

Walking on the campus roads, Shinji Kaminaga once again felt the envious gazes of the boys passing by.

He calmly chose to ignore it.

Back in the classroom, he greeted a few familiar faces and then returned to his seat.

Speaking of the people he knows well, they are probably Naomi Watanabe, Sherry, and Kagome Higurashi.

They're all beautiful girls.

Moreover, she seems to have a bigger heart than Yukino.

"Ouch~ Yukino, why are you pinching me again?"

His wandering gaze immediately caught the attention of Yukino Yukinoshita, who then proceeded to deliver her usual waist-pinning attack.

Yukino Yukinoshita gave a haughty snort, crossed her arms, and said unhappily, "Your eyes tell me you're thinking something rude."

"Ahem, no way. I was just admiring your gaze. Yukino, you can't just slander me because you're cute, or my mouth will start to itch."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita felt her lips burning, as if the warmth of his kiss still lingered, and her cheeks flushed crimson.

She immediately hardened her expression and said coldly, "Your mouth itches? Want me to give you a few slaps to treat it?"

"Uh—you're going to hit me? Are you really willing to?"

Shinji Kaminaga clutched his chest, looking heartbroken.

Yukino Yukinoshita raised her delicate chin haughtily. "Hmph, to deal with a philanderer, I think a good beating is the only way to teach him a lesson. What do you think, Kaminaga-kun?"

"Ahem, well, I consider myself quite fond of cats, so I definitely won't hit them."

Yukino Yukinoshita smiled knowingly and said, "But he cheated on me. How can we teach him a lesson and make him realize his mistake without punishing him?"

Upon hearing this, Shinji Kaminari winked at her with a serious expression.

The words that came out left Yukino Yukinoshita speechless.

"It's simple. He likes to cheat, right? Yukino, just let him cheat to his heart's content. Once he's full, he won't have any room left to cheat again!"

"You wish!" Yukino Yukinoshita angrily reached out her small hand again and pinched!

"Ouch~ Yukino, I feel like my waist is a little bit dead."

"Serves you right for being a philanderer!" Yukino Yukinoshita stopped pretending and directly stated that the philanderer she was referring to was Shinji Kaminaga.

She gave him a symbolic, light pinch, and Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head away, ignoring him.

She got a little temperamental.

Ignore him for the entire class!

It's not that she's too stingy.

The main thing is, do you think he's speaking human language?

One affair wasn't enough for him; he even said he wanted to cheat as much as he wanted. How could she not be angry?

Seeing that Yukino was ignoring him, Shinji Kaminaga rubbed his waist, took out his phone and sent her a message.

Upon receiving a vibration notification from her phone, Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively took her phone out of her pocket to check it.

Someone sent her a message that made her cheeks burn.

Shinji Kaminaga: "The one I've always wanted to steal is Yukino. I've been stealing your heart ever since we first met in elementary school."

Yukino Yukinoshita let out a soft nasal sound, "humphed," and glanced at someone.

This guy is so smooth-talking; he's really good at making girls happy.

Fine, I'll just give up on the idea of ​​ignoring him for the whole class.

As Shiina Mahiru watched Shinji Kaminaga and Yukino Yukinoshita interact, her lips involuntarily twitched slightly.

She felt a little sour inside.

She glanced furtively at Shinji Kaminaga's face before quickly turning her head to focus her attention on her textbook.

However, Shiina Mahiru was unable to get into a studying state no matter what she did.

She used to study hard and maintain excellent grades, becoming a top student in everyone's eyes, all in order to gain her parents' approval.

She wanted to make her family more harmonious through her own efforts; she wanted to experience a real family and enjoy the feeling of being cared for by her parents.

However, now everything has lost its meaning.

It seems she no longer needs to study hard, right?

Just as I was feeling hopeless, my phone suddenly vibrated.

Since it was still during morning self-study time, no teachers would come to check, so Shiina Mahiru took out her phone to check.

Shinji Kaminaga: "Shiina-kun, I noticed you've been staring at me. Are you captivated by my handsome face?"

When Shiina Mahiru saw these words, she was speechless, but also felt a warmth in her heart.

The thought of giving up on myself vanished instantly.

She typed rapidly, quickly composing a message to reply to this narcissistic person.

Shiina Mahiru: "Yeah, you're so handsome. I never expected Kaminaga-kun to be so shameless. I'm really shocked."

Shinji Kaminaga: "Thank you for the compliment. Yukino said the same thing."

Shiina Mahiru glanced at him helplessly, but her cheeks involuntarily flushed when she met his gaze.

She pouted and continued replying, "I realize adding your contact information was a mistake. If someone harasses a girl, I can call the police, right?"

Shinji Kaminaga: "If this counts as harassment, how long would I have to stay in jail?"

Shiina Mahiru: "Hmm, let me think... how about life imprisonment? That's a lifetime!"

Shinji Kaminaga: "Sure, if Shiina-kun is willing to come with me, I have no objection."

Shiina Mahiru: "Pah, why are you dragging me into this while you're in jail?"

Shinji Kaminaga: "Because I hold grudges. I was just having a normal conversation with you, but you accused me of harassment and even threatened to put me in jail. I've remembered this, so I'm definitely going to drag you down with me!"

Shiina Mahiru: "How scary!"

Shinji Kaminaga: "Hehehe, scared now? If you're scared, let me taste your bento at noon and I'll forgive you, my angel!"

When Shiina Mahiru saw this, her cheeks turned red all the way to her ears.

What angel?

What's wrong with this guy?

Why do you always say things that make my heart race?

And—does Yukino know that?

Is our secret flirting considered cheating?

Am I a philanderer too?

Thinking of this, Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but guiltily turn her head to look at Yukino Yukinoshita in the back row.

Yukino Yukinoshita met Mahiru Shiina's gaze with a puzzled look, raising an eyebrow at her as if to say, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Shiina Mahiru shook her head guiltily, turned away, and with a slightly thrilled and excited feeling, continued to reply to the boy who had been harassing her.

Shiina Mahiru: "Just say you want my bento, no need to flatter me, and besides, I'm not some kind of angel."

You and Yukino are the real angels. I'm just a homeless little girl who was saved by you.

Shinji Kaminaga: "It's a little embarrassing to say it directly, well—I always need to find an excuse, otherwise I'll be shy if I just make a request directly."

Shiina Mahiru couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw this.

Are you still shy?

His skin is thicker than a city wall, and he's making her heart race!

Shiina Mahiru: "I think Yukinoshita was absolutely right to pinch you; you deserved it!"

Shinji Kaminaga: "That hurts, angel. So, what about the bento boxes?"

Shiina Mahiru: "So why is it my bento? My bento was made at your house today. Yukinoshita was the chef, and Nishimiya and I helped out. The bento is exactly the same as the one in your bag."

Shinji Kaminaga: "Uh, right, I just remembered. Haha, I can't help it, seeing the angel with that lonely look on his face, I couldn't help but want to comfort you."

When Shiina Mahiru saw this, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt her eyes well up with tears.

Turns out, it's not like I'm completely ignored.

Regardless of Shinji Kaminaga's motives, she genuinely received his concern.

Shinji Kaminaga: "You're not thinking of going to the park to get soaked in the rain again, are you?"

Shiina Mahiru: "Do I look like an idiot? Besides, it's been sunny for the past few days, not a drop of rain!"

Shinji Kaminaga: "It's hard to say. Weather forecasts aren't always accurate. Didn't the last rain come out of nowhere? The angels were crying. It seems even the heavens couldn't stand it anymore."

Shiina Mahiru: "Idiot, I'm not some angel, Kaminaga-kun, why are you so concerned about me?"

After sending the message, Shiina Mahiru tensed up, and her grip on her phone tightened involuntarily.

How would he answer himself?

He probably actually likes himself.

After all, she was well aware of the attraction her looks and figure had for men.

Even that vampire progenitor wanted her. Since the sixth grade of elementary school, she has received love letters more than once, and there have been confessions in person as well.

Faced with Shiina Mahiru's question, Shinji Kaminaga thought for a moment and replied on his phone: "Because I'm a man who's easily swayed and easily tempted. Shiina-san is so cute, I don't think anyone could resist your charm. Seeing that hurt expression on your face, any man would be unable to resist lending a helping hand."

When Shiina Mahiru saw this, a warm current suddenly spread throughout her body, and she even felt as if she had been electrocuted, becoming tingly and numb.

In fact, Shinji Kaminaga's words were practically a confession.

He said he was easily tempted and soft-hearted, yet he praised her for being cute; he probably just had a crush on her.

This guy is really something. He already has Yukino, and he also has Nishimiya Shoko by his side.

Yet she still teases herself.

What made her most guilty was that she couldn't refuse his concern, because she really needed it.

Shiina Mahiru bit her lip, but felt an unusual joy in her heart.

Looking at her phone, her eyes softened. Normally self-disciplined, she simply couldn't concentrate on studying during this morning study session.

The girl's calm heart was completely thrown into turmoil.
