Transmigrated Become Sukuna, but the host is Yukinoshita Yukino?

It was a case of "better late than never." 

This was the conclusion Hiratsuka Shizuka reached after drinking and chatting with Hayashizaki. 

He was easygoing, didn't mind her rough behavior, agreed with her on many things, and could drink a lot. 

If she had met someone like Hayashizaki earlier, who would even care about Yukinoshita Haruno? 

In short, she thought Hayashizaki was a great friend! 

But after coming to this conclusion, things got a little tricky, since she might accidentally offend Hayashizaki. 

However, the purpose of observing his character had been fulfilled. 

Hiratsuka Shizuka wasn't great at judging men, but when it came to friends, she had a very good eye. 

The only remaining thing was to ask if Hayashizaki was the partner chosen by the Yukinoshita family for Yukinoshita Yukino. 

After thinking it over, though it was a bit hard to bring up, she decided to ask. 

"Hayashizaki, have you... already been... betrothed to Yukinoshita?" 

"Mm?" 

Hayashizaki raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying. 

"It's nothing else, just a simple question." 

Seeing Hayashizaki's lack of an answer, she quickly waved her hand. 

"Do you want to marry me?" 

Suddenly, Hayashizaki threw a very unexpected question back at her. 

"Huh? No, of course not. Why would you think that... um?" 

After being asked such a wild question by Hayashizaki, Hiratsuka Shizuka first thought he was joking and laughed it off. But then she suddenly seemed to realize something and stopped mid-sentence. 

Wait... could it be like this!? 

Not minding her manly behavior, sharing similar views, having the same profession as a teacher, being able to drink with her, and looking handsome... 

Is this really possible? 

Her already flushed cheeks became even redder, and the drunk, older woman suddenly showed a shy, almost girlish side. Her voice became more hesitant. 

"Re... really? Would you marry me?" 

In that moment, she looked almost innocent, like a young girl. 

Pfft...! 

Did I just hear suppressed laughter? 

Hayashizaki turned his head away, trying to hold back his expression. 

Alright, that's enough. This is probably enough to keep Haruno laughing for a few days. Continuing would be going too far. 

He turned back and, with a serious expression, answered Hiratsuka Shizuka's earlier question, 

"I'm just friends with Yukinoshita, and we also have a teacher-student relationship. The engagement, or whatever, is just a misunderstanding." 

"Ah? Oh, I see. That's great." 

A glimmer of hope appeared in Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes. 

"Does that mean you can marry me?" 

"You're really drunk." 

Hayashizaki shook his head and smiled. Then he took out his phone and called Yukinoshita Yukino. 

"Come get your teacher. She's drunk." 

"I'm not drunk!"

Hayashizaki's voice mixed with Hiratsuka Shizuka's protest, and Yukinoshita Yukino asked, "Is it over?"

"It's over. I recorded some interesting stuff. I'll send it to your sister later."

"Your sister asked you to do this, huh?"

Thinking of her sister Haruno's personality and her relationship with Hiratsuka-sensei, Yukinoshita Yukino understood and sighed, "Don't spoil her too much, or she'll keep asking for more."

"What? Are you jealous?"

Hayashizaki's teasing voice came through the phone speaker.

"I just don't want to be the target of your two's jokes."

Yukinoshita Yukino snorted lightly.

"It's fine, what's meant to happen will happen."

"...I'm hanging up."

When Yukinoshita Yukino arrived in front of Hayashizaki, she saw that Hiratsuka Shizuka had already fallen asleep at the table. Hayashizaki had cleaned up all the mess from the picnic and was sitting nearby, playing on his phone.

Most likely, he was texting his sister.

"What did Hiratsuka-sensei tell you?"

The girl asked, curious.

"Want to know?"

Hayashizaki grinned.

"Probably just some unimportant stuff."

Seeing that look on his face, Yukinoshita Yukino knew she wouldn't be able to get the answer easily, so she turned and gently picked up the sleeping Hiratsuka Shizuka, ready to take her to the room to rest.

"Well, it's not much really. It's just that because of a series of misunderstandings, she thinks you had to get engaged to me because of family reasons."

Hayashizaki's casual voice floated to the black-haired girl's ear from behind.

"Boring."

Yukinoshita Yukino paused for a moment, then continued walking, carrying the now weightless Hiratsuka Shizuka. She left behind a slender figure for Hayashizaki, though the ear that peeked through her hair was unusually flushed.

...

...

Though the students had to cook lunch themselves, today was the only day they had to do so. The meals for dinner and the following days were prepared by the summer camp staff.

After dinner, the elementary school students were taken to watch an outdoor movie on a large screen.

The high school students, who were supposed to have free time, stayed at the table at Hayama's request.

"Hiratsuka-sensei? She didn't come for dinner, right?"

Hayama glanced around but didn't see Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"Hiratsuka-sensei is drunk and resting in her room," Yukinoshita Yukino said. "When she wakes up, I'll bring her dinner."

"Ah, I see," Hayama paused for a moment, then nodded, understanding. "Well, let me continue."

"Today, I noticed that a girl was being isolated by others, and I wanted to help her. So, I asked everyone to stay and brainstorm ideas on how to help her make up with her friends."

"I see, you're so thoughtful, Hayama!" Tobe Shō made a gesture he thought was cool, loudly praising him.

"It's that girl, Tsurumi Rumi, right?" Miura Yumiko nodded. "She does look pitiful. Helping her out sounds good."

"Eh? Is there such a thing?"

Yuigahama Yui froze for a moment, then turned to look at Yukinoshita Yukino and Hikigaya Hachiman. Seeing that both of them seemed to know what was going on, she became flustered. "Did everyone notice this?"

Today, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to spend most of her time with Hayashizaki. Since the atmosphere between them felt a bit hard to join, Yuigahama Yui decided not to stay by her side and instead stayed with Totsuka Saika and Komachi. 

Was it because she was too caught up in having fun that she missed something so important!?

Thankfully, it wasn't just her who didn't notice. Only three people realized it. 

Oh, and there was also Hayashizaki, but he wasn't here at the moment.

According to him, he had gone home and would come back to hang out tomorrow morning.

When Hayama Hayato brought this matter to light, everyone seemed a little down, and the atmosphere became tense for a moment.

That was until a cold voice broke the silence.

"No need."

Yukinoshita Yukino spoke coldly.

"This volunteer activity is part of the Service Club's camp, so Tsurumi Rumi's issue will be handled by the Service Club. You don't need to worry about it, Hayama-kun."

"And even if you say it, you won't actually be able to do anything about it."

When she said this, Miura Yumiko immediately slammed the table in dissatisfaction. "Hey! Yukinoshita, how can you say that?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's calm tone was like lighting a fuse, and the atmosphere around the table instantly became tense.
