Transmigrated Become Sukuna, but the host is Yukinoshita Yukino?

After hastily leaving the main house, where the atmosphere had become unbearably tense and awkward, Yukinoshita Yukino quickly followed after Yukinoshita Haruno, who had left earlier. 

Raindrops, carried by the wind, drifted into the hallway, landing on her face with a slight chill. 

Yukinoshita gradually slowed her steps, staring blankly at her sister's soft profile. A trace of unspoken loneliness flickered through the short-haired woman's eyes, only to vanish just as quickly, as if it had never been there at all. 

"Oh, it's Yukino-chan." Haruno quickly hid her emotions and turned to the dark-haired girl with a flawless smile. 

"Nee-san..." 

Yukino pressed her lips together and asked, "Why did you slander me in front of Mother?" 

"Well, I didn't want to get scolded~" Haruno showed no remorse, smiling with her eyes slightly narrowed. 

"Besides, it's not like I was wrong, right? Even you admitted it." 

"But you exaggerated the truth!" Yukino unconsciously raised her voice, thinking about how she had been wrongly scolded by their mother because of her sister. 

"Sorry, sorry." The short-haired woman pressed her palms together, her lips curving slightly in an attempt to brush it off. 

"Forget it. I actually wanted to ask you something else." 

Yukino sighed helplessly, hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke. "Is the fireworks festival this year also your responsibility?" 

"Hmm? Well, unless something unexpected happens." Haruno blinked, seemingly surprised by the question. "Why? Do you want to help?" 

She was joking, but then, as if realizing something, a brief dimness flashed in her bright eyes. She chuckled lightly and added, "But the family probably won't allow you to get involved in these things, right? If you have any ideas, you can tell me, and I'll see if I can make them happen for you." 

"No, actually, I wanted to ask you for help choosing a gift." 

Seeing her younger sister suddenly become a little flustered, Haruno's vague emotions were instantly replaced by curiosity. Her eyes sparkled as she leaned in. 

"A gift for Hayashizaki? Are you planning to confess to him during the fireworks festival?" 

"Con—?! Nee-san! What are you even thinking?!" 

The black-haired girl's face turned red in an instant, and she protested in frustration. "I just want to thank Hayashizaki-kun! That's all!" 

Haruno stared into her sister's eyes for a while, as if trying to see through those deep blue irises into her true feelings. Yukino, however, didn't flinch and held her gaze firmly. 

After a few seconds, Haruno lost interest and pouted. "Tch, boring." 

Back in Yukino's room, Haruno flopped onto her little sister's bed and sprawled out lazily. "So, you want me to help pick a gift?" 

"I already know what I want to give, but I haven't decided on the style yet." 

"What are you planning to give?" 

"A kimono." 

"Huh? And you still say you don't have feelings for him!?" 

Haruno suddenly perked up, all her previous boredom gone as she shot upright on the bed. 

In Japan, when a woman gifts a man a kimono, it means she sees him as someone "special." On a deeper level, it's a sign of commitment—an unspoken promise to stay with him for life. Unless they were engaged, no one would randomly think of giving a kimono.

"I didn't expect you to be so... uh...~"

Yukinoshita Yukino felt like her words didn't quite get her point across, so after thinking for a moment, she added, "A women's one."

"Huh?" Haruno was stunned for a second, as if she didn't quite understand.

"I'm planning to give Hayashizaki a women's kimono. A white one," she repeated.

"Did Hayashizaki do something to upset you recently? You know, a well-made kimono isn't cheap. Sure, our family isn't short on money, but is it really worth spending so much just to humiliate him?"

Haruno chose her words carefully as she tried to talk her sister out of it.

"That's not what I meant... Never mind, just take a look at this." Yukino knew that explaining with words alone wouldn't make her sister understand, so she pulled out her phone and showed her a photo from their training camp.

It was a picture of Hayashizaki standing in front of a forest shrine, wearing a Yuki-onna kimono. At that time, he had yet to reveal his four-armed form.

"What, what? Let me see!" 

Haruno curiously took the phone, and with just one glance, she was completely captivated by the figure in the photo.

In the picture, a young man with black hair stood in a quiet forest, dressed in a light blue kimono. Moonlight bathed him in a soft silver glow, highlighting the delicate snowflake patterns on his robe. 

His hands were tucked into his sleeves, and because it was a women's kimono, the loose collar slightly opened, revealing his collarbones and a broad, well-defined chest. His posture was steady and graceful, like a tall, slender bamboo swaying gently in the night breeze. 

But what was most striking were his deep, mesmerizing eyes—bright and red like polished garnet, shining with an eerie glow in the darkness.

Haruno murmured with a complicated expression, "I never thought there'd be a day when I'd feel that a man wearing a women's kimono looks better than I do... I think I understand what you're getting at now, Yukino."

Wanting to see more, she instinctively swiped her finger on the screen. But the moment she saw the next photo, her hand trembled so hard she nearly dropped the phone in shock.

It was still Hayashizaki—but he looked nothing like before. 

His body was massive and muscular, with four arms and four eyes that weren't human. Dark markings covered his skin. And worst of all, he had a terrifying, twisted grin on his face.

"This... This is Hayashizaki's true form?" 

Haruno had only just gotten used to Hayashizakii's personality and found a comfortable way to interact with him. But this one picture shattered all of that, forcing her to reevaluate their entire relationship.

Have I... been acting way too casual around him?

That thought crept into her mind before she could stop it.

"He said this is his second form," Yukino answered honestly.

"Wait, does that mean there's a third form?" Haruno asked, feeling uneasy.

If the second form was already like this, wouldn't the third form be even scarier?

"I'm not sure. But he did use this form to play the monster at the courage test event." Remembering that night, Yukino couldn't help but feel exasperated.

"..."

Haruno was speechless for a moment. Then she suddenly realized that being intimidated by his appearance felt like an overreaction.

"Alright, I get it. Let's go pick out a kimono together then. We'll go to the shop our family always orders from," Haruno said, then suddenly giggled mischievously. "But we'll have to keep it a secret from Mom. If she finds out that little Yukino is picking out a kimono for a man, she's definitely going to lose it."

"Yeah, that would be quite the spectacle. Should we tell her?" Yukino smirked playfully.

"Yukino!"

"I'm just kidding, just kidding~ You're so easy to tease, little Yukino~"

Whew… 

— 

"Phew, I'm finally done with my summer homework~!" 

Komachi Hikigaya walked out of her room, stretching lazily in front of Hachiman Hikigaya on purpose, showing off her still undeveloped, flat figure. 

"Yeah, yeah, good job, good job." Hachiman praised her without even looking up. 

"So, since I worked so hard, I deserve a reward!" 

Unhappy with his casual response, Komachi lifted her foot and stepped on her brother's stomach with her bare foot. 

"Ugh!" Hachiman's eyes widened in pain as his handheld console slipped from his hands. "What kind of reward do you want? Nothing expensive, though. I only have 400 yen left in my wallet." 

"400 yen isn't enough to buy anything, even cheap stuff!" 

After her usual complaint about her brother's financial state, Komachi suddenly changed her tone to a sweet one. She leaned over the back of the sofa and smiled. 

"What I want… is to make precious memories with my dear brother~" 

"So! On the day of the fireworks festival, you have to go with me!" 

"Fireworks festival? Yeah, sure, no problem." 

Without thinking much, Hachiman agreed right away. 

As soon as he said that, Komachi's expression turned neutral. She pulled out her phone from her pocket and happily spoke into it. 

"Did you hear that, Yui-nee? My brother already said yes." 

"Eh!?" 

Hachiman shot up like a dying man suddenly brought back to life, staring in shock at Komachi, who was still on the phone. 

Wait… What did she just say? 

Yuigahama is coming too!? 

I got tricked again!
