Chapter 19 Eru, I'm counting on you tonight.
Two and a half hours ago, Yukino Yukinoshita opened the door.
"Hmm! What brings you here?"
Outside the door, a cute girl with long black hair walked in.
"Sorry to bother you, Yukinoshita-kun~ I only got your address by asking Yokoshima-sensei."
Looking into those adorable purple eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita simply smiled. "It's nothing, Chitanda-san, come in. What can I do for you?"
After changing her shoes, Chitanda Eru's first sight was of the cat plush toy on the sofa.
"So cute~"
Seeing Chitanda collapse onto the sofa as soon as she entered, Yukino Yukinoshita sighed and went to the kitchen to make her a cup of black tea.
"Thanks."
Chitanda sat down again and accepted the black tea.
"Yukinoshita said she wanted to research the secrets in 'Hyouka' this weekend, so I came to help!"
Yukinoshita was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
"There's a lot recorded in Hyouka. I've organized it a bit, and we can look at it together later."
Chitanda nodded, then looked around Yukinoshita's apartment. "Yukinoshita-san lives alone, right?"
"Yes, I moved out of my family home when I started high school."
"Why not live with your family! It's so boring living alone!"
Yukino shook her head. "Because I'm no longer the little kid who needs their discipline. I can be independent."
Looking at Yukinoshita's expression, Chitanda Eru suddenly stood up.
"Yukinoshita-san, are you having some disagreements with your family? If so, you need to communicate with them more often!"
Yukinoshita thought of her strict and excellent mother, and her genius older sister who had always liked to tease her and whose abilities surpassed hers in every way.
As she was thinking, Yukinoshita felt a warm breath on her cheek.
Yukinoshita, regaining her senses, stared wide-eyed as Chitanda Eru appeared in front of her at some point, her equally adorable face less than two centimeters away.
Even with the slightest movement, their noses could touch.
"It's too close!"
Yukinoshita leaned back on the sofa, while Chitanda continued to stare at her with her bright purple eyes.
"Yukinoshita-san's relationship with her family isn't very good, I can tell! But why is that? Why is her relationship with her family so bad? I'm really curious!"
Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."
Chitanda straightened up, then suddenly chuckled and took out his phone to make a call.
"Mom~ um, I've arrived at my classmate's house. By the way, can I stay at her house tonight? She's just a girl, and she's home alone..."
Yukinoshita looked up in surprise and saw that Chitanda had already handed her the phone.
"Yukinoshita-kun, just say hello to my mom."
Yukino instinctively took the phone, and an incredibly gentle voice immediately came from it.
"Are you Eru's classmate? Yukinoshita... that's a familiar surname. I'll leave Eru in your care tonight."
"Um... Auntie."
"What an adorable little one! Be sure to get along well with Eru!"
After hanging up the phone, Yukino Yukinoshita finally realized why she had agreed.
Chitanda Eru sat down next to Yukino with a smile, saying, "Um, nice to meet you today, Yukino-san!"
Yukinoshita rubbed her temples. "Chitanda-san..."
Chitanda's eyes were fixed on them.
Yukino's expression turned somewhat serious. "I haven't even said I'd let you stay at my place yet."
Chitanda looked over with a slightly pitying gaze.
"Only one night's stay..."
...
Two and a half hours later, Yukina, who was inside the room, heard another knock on the door.
"Who else could it be?"
Yukino stepped out of the bedroom and glanced at the misty bathroom. Chitanda was still taking a shower.
When the door was opened again, Yukino's expression changed, because the person standing outside the door... was Yukinoshita Haruno, who had a serious expression.
Yukino understands her younger sister, and Yukino understands her older sister just as well. Why does her sister, who always greets everyone with a smile, look so serious? Something must have happened!
"Sister, what brings you here?"
"Can't I come? Or is there something you don't want me to see? Are you rested? Where is he?"
Yukino frowned. What was Yukinoshita Haruno saying? She couldn't understand it.
The moment the door opened, Yukinoshita Haruno first noticed Yukino's intact clothes, and then began searching for him.
Not here? How could that be! Someone must be coming, so he's hiding!
Yukinoshita scanned the living room, finally spotting two cups of black tea on the table. "Yukino, are there other people here?"
Yukino stepped forward, turning her head indifferently as she spoke.
"This has nothing to do with my sister, right?"
Yang remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on the misty bathroom. He was actually taking a shower? What had he been doing for the past two hours?!
"Yukino, since you moved out of your family home, you've been hosting guests yourself. Why don't you ever bring your friends over when you're at home?"
Yukino came over with a freshly brewed cup of black tea. "She's just a friend I met in high school."
"oh....."
Yang Nai just couldn't understand what kind of mind-control drug Uchiha Rin had given you. How could you have him in just one week, and even take a bath in your house!
If he hadn't been taking a shower, Yukino Yukinoshita would have rushed in and dragged him out no matter what.
"It's been a long time since my sister and I have had a chat and a meal together. When is your friend leaving?"
Yukino gave a light snort. "Then you should leave. My friend is staying here tonight and won't leave until tomorrow."
Yang Nai's teacup trembled and almost fell to the ground. What a joke, letting that brat and Yukino, a man and a woman, stay together for a day?
"I disagree!"
"Huh? Sis, I invited my friend to stay at my house for a day, that's none of your business!"
Yukino really wondered if Haruno had taken the wrong medicine today. What did she mean by coming here?
"Yukino... Okay. So, are you planning to let Mom know?"
Yukino: "???"
What do you know? My mother knows I moved out. Do you think I invited friends to stay at my house?
Yukino Yukinoshita laughed, a laugh born of frustration. She moved out because she wanted independence, but now even her friends need parental permission to come over! Does she really think she's still a primary school student?!
"My friend is staying at my place today. It's an apartment I rent, and I allow it. Even if she wants to stay tomorrow or the day after, that's perfectly fine with her!"
"Yukino, you! Huh? She...."
The bathroom door was pushed open, and Chitanda Eru, wrapped in a bath towel, slowly walked out.
"Excuse me, Yukinoshita-san, could I borrow one of your clothes to wear?"
Yukinoshita glanced at Chitanda, then at Yukino who was glaring at her.
"A female...female classmate?"
Yukino gritted her teeth, "Female classmate...of course she's a female classmate! What else did you think!"
