Suddenly, words from behind made Yukinoshita Yukino jump.

She nervously turned around, and seeing Fujiwara Michi behind her, she let out a sigh of relief. With perfect etiquette, she bowed slightly and said, "It's Fujiwara-kun."

Although on the surface, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed perfectly composed, Fujiwara Michi could still detect a hint of resentment in her words.

He had just opened his mouth to speak when his heart stirred. His instincts as a CIA agent made him aware that someone was approaching to eavesdrop on his conversation with Yukino.

Fujiwara Michi subtly glanced out of the corner of his eye and immediately spotted the eavesdropper approaching him.

One of them was Haibara Ai. Little Ai, with her small elementary school child's stature, was very hard to spot in the crowd.

She appeared to be idly staring at other places, but her ears were perked up, and she was listening intently.

The other eavesdropper was a girl in a lady's suit, with a single ponytail, her posture elegant, like a beautiful knight.

He thought for a moment and realized who she was.

That girl should be Kaguya Shinomiya's maid, Hayasaka Ai.

Is she eavesdropping for her own young lady?

Fujiwara Michi mused internally and did not point out the two eavesdroppers. He smiled at Yukino and said, "Yukino, why do you call me that now? In the hospital before, you didn't call me that."

Fujiwara Michi's teasing tone made Yukino's heart feel a bit resentful. She maintained a cold expression and said, "That's just what my mother requested."

Her personality was just like this, extremely self-deprecating. Although she had a good impression of Fujiwara Michi, she was also very grateful that he had saved her.

But Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't stand Fujiwara Michi teasing her like this.

"Oh? Then I'll go call your mother over and let her arbitrate."

Saying this, Fujiwara Michi prepared to go and call Mrs. Yukinoshita.

Yukino's heart skipped a beat. She immediately grabbed Fujiwara Michi's sleeve and said anxiously, "Don't you dare!"

She had always been somewhat afraid of her mother in her heart. If her mother really came over and Fujiwara Michi added fuel to the fire, she didn't know how much scolding she would receive.

"Then Yukino, you'll have to give me a reason not to go find your mother."

"Is bullying girls very interesting?"

"Bullying girls isn't interesting, but bullying you is interesting."

"Why?"

Yukinoshita Yukino felt even more resentful.

"Because you're cute?"

Fujiwara Michi pretended to think for a moment before saying.

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her crimson lips and said, "Of course I know I'm cute, but that's not a reason for you to bully me."

"If I say it's a reason, then it's a reason. Or should we let Mrs. Yukinoshita arbitrate?"

"You... Brother!"

Yukinoshita Yukino was exasperated. She stomped her foot lightly, grumbling softly.

"I'm sorry, your voice is too low, I can't hear you."

Yukino gritted her teeth and said, "Brother~~"

"That's more like it."

Seeing Fujiwara Michi give up on finding her mother, Yukino finally felt relieved.

Fujiwara Michi looked again at the bustling crowd. He softly asked, "Don't you think these people are very pretentious?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes brightened. She nodded slightly: "Hmm, they are all very pretentious. Fujiwara... Brother, do you think so too?"

Seeing Fujiwara Michi look over, she even changed her address.

At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino felt a hint of pleasant surprise in her heart. She suddenly felt as if someone understood her. In this world where everyone was intoxicated, there was still one person awake besides herself.

Fujiwara Michi smiled and said, "Yes, these people are pretentious. Do you think your mother and sister are also pretentious?"

Yukino's expression showed a trace of emotion, but she insisted on her opinion, saying disdainfully, "They are equally pretentious."

Even if Fujiwara Michi were to "tell on them" again, she would not change her mind.

"But this is necessary, Yukino. Since ancient times, when people interact with each other, these pretenses are all necessary."

"You must accept others. You must adapt to your surroundings. It has always been this way, and it has never changed."

Fujiwara Michi's words made Yukinoshita Yukino dissatisfied. She said somewhat angrily, "Is it correct if it has always been this way?"

Fujiwara Michi suddenly looked stunned: "You have a rare talent for literature."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "...I'm saying these things not to argue about right and wrong. This kind of debate about right and wrong could go on for days and nights, and in the end, it's just both sides' sophistry."

"All I want to say is, whether it's right or wrong, it all depends on yourself."

"If you have great strength, then you can completely ignore these unwritten rules. You can live as you please, not caring about others' opinions."

"This requires you to have the ability to do so in this reality, and it also requires you to have strong mental fortitude."

"But if you can't do that, then you can only go with the flow. You must follow the rules. You can't change society; you need to adapt to it."

Yukinoshita Yukino said stubbornly, "I will continue to adhere to my opinions. If you believe that only with strong mental fortitude, only with enough ability, can one ignore these, then I will become such a person!"

Yukinoshita Yukino raised her delicate, snow-white chin and spoke with determined will.

"It's not a bad idea, but whether you can achieve it needs time to prove."

"Yukino, with thoughts like yours, are you doing justice to your mother and sister's current humble pleas, and their humble attitude?"

"Do you think they don't know they're being pretentious? They're willing to do these things to accommodate others? But there's no choice. For your family, for your life, for your happiness, for your studies, they have no choice but to be pretentious."

Fujiwara Michi said earnestly, "...You can have your own persistence, but I hope you can see the efforts and hard work that your mother and sister have put in for this."

"I heard you are currently living alone, and living in a luxurious apartment? Your sister said you want to be independent, that you only move out when you want to truly belong to yourself?"

"But Yukino, who paid for that apartment's rent? Wasn't it still your mother?"

Fujiwara Michi's series of moral blows almost broke Yukinoshita Yukino's composure. Her face flushed red as she said, "What did my sister tell you?!"

She turned away, whether out of anger or embarrassment at Fujiwara Michi's words, she just wanted to get away from him.

Fujiwara Michi did not stop her, allowing Yukino to walk into the crowd.

He shook his head and was about to leave when a figure suddenly appeared before him. It was Yukinoshita Haruno.

She wore a light purple kimono with dark vertical stripes, holding a delicate fan in her hand. Her exquisite face smiled like a flower, and her beautiful eyes exuded confidence and elegance.

"Had a fight with Yukino?"

"If you consider her running off like that a fight, then yes."

"I heard everything you just said to Yukino."

"I know you were eavesdropping."

Yukinoshita Haruno lightly brushed a strand of hair from her temple and said softly, "Fujiwara-kun, I hope you don't get angry with Yukino. She's still young and doesn't understand some things."

Fujiwara Michi smiled and said, "Of course I won't get angry with her."

One thing to know is that Yukinoshita Yukino had just started high school. This kind of rebellious phase is very common.

Many junior high and high school students feel they can do anything and enter a rebellious phase where they don't need to rely on their family.

"Actually, Yukino's inner self is very fragile. I've always been very assertive with her, hoping to bring about some change in her so she won't be bullied later."

"Being isolated at school is one thing, but once she enters society, the bullying she'll face won't be just these few instances. If this continues, she will eventually collapse one day."

Haruno sighed softly.

"You're a good sister."

"I've always been a good sister. Is Fujiwara-kun misunderstanding something?"

Haruno glanced at him, startled.

She paused for a moment, then Haruno said again, "...Soubu High will be holding a sports festival. I'll use some of my connections to arrange a joint sports festival between Tokyo University and Soubu High."

"Soubu High?"

"It's my alma mater, and where Yukino attends. It's nothing."

"It's not that I look down on you, Haruno, but your connections don't have the power to make Tokyo University make such a decision."

Let alone Soubu High, even the most renowned high schools, if they wanted to hold a joint event with Tokyo University, that difficulty level is not ordinary. Even normal students would absolutely be unable to achieve it.

No matter how powerful someone is, they might be able to handle things on their own in high school, but when it comes to Tokyo University, facing the most outstanding group in all of Rainbow, wanting to gain the approval of all Tokyo University students is almost impossible.

These geniuses all had their own arrogance.

Haruno calmly said, "Won't Fujiwara-kun say something nice to me?"

"The truth is a sharp blade, Yukinoshita-senpai."

"Don't think I didn't hear you just now. You directly called Yukino by her name. If you call me 'Yukinoshita-kohai' again, I'm going to get angry."

"Haruno-senpai?"

"Heh heh, that's better. I love hearing the 'senpai' title."

Yukinoshita Haruno smiled charmingly and said, "...Of course, it's not a joint event with all of Todai. I don't have that much energy. I just secretly got permission from the Judo Club's president."

"Michi-kun is now a celebrity in Rainbow, so you'll have to come and participate in the activities then~"

Regarding Haruno changing her address, Fujiwara Michi didn't care. He smiled, "Can I refuse?"

"No, I am the president of the Judo Club, and you are a member. You must obey the orders of the vice president."

Fujiwara Michi pretended to be helpless and shrugged: "Since Haruno-senpai has said so, I have no choice but to obey."

"Michi-kun is so obedient. Do you want a reward from your senior?"

"There are many people here. Can I get the reward when no one is around?"

"Then keep that reward in mind for now. You'll have to think hard about it."

Just as Fujiwara Michi and Yukinoshita Haruno were talking, which was both intimate and discussing serious matters, calls from the Osaka Prefectural Police and Kyoto Prefectural Police simultaneously rang out.

Both of them quickly answered their phones, their tones serious, immediately causing everyone around to look over.
