The girl seeking help was from the class next to Eriri's. She had a single ponytail, a round and chubby face, and while she wasn't as stunning as Utaha and the others, she had a petite and cute charm.
Forcing a slightly awkward smile, the girl said, "Hello, Sawamura-san. I'm Komatsu Yuno from Class B. We had PE together before."
Eriri smiled back. "Oh, yeah, I rember. So, what brings you here? Do you need help with sothing?"
Compared to Yukino's cold and indifferent deanor, Eriri was undoubtedly better at handling requests from clients.
Komatsu glanced around at the people in the room, looking a bit uneasy. She lowered her head and clasped her hands together on her lap before speaking. "Well… I heard from Hiratsuka-sensei that there are people here who can help . I thought about it for a while, and if it's Sawamura-san and Yukinoshita-san, I don't think you two would spread this around."
Yukino nodded. "You don't need to worry, Komatsu-san. Regardless of the client's wishes, we never disclose any personal information about them. So, can you tell us what this is about?"
Komatsu remained silent for a mont before finally speaking.
"Um… I'd like to ask Yukinoshita-san to investigate soone for . A classmate of yours—Satou."
"Hm?"
Yukino raised an eyebrow and looked at the girl. "I do rember soone nad Satou in my class. But can you tell why you want to investigate him? And what exactly do you want to find out?"
Hearing that, Komatsu's face turned bright red.
The four of them exchanged glances, already forming a rough guess.
Eriri looked at Komatsu and asked, "Wait… Komatsu-san, do you like that arrogant guy, Satou?"
Komatsu's face grew even redder, and she lowered her head further.
"W-Well… just a little…"
Even though Yukino lacked experience in romance, she could more or less understand why Komatsu had co to them.
Crossing her arms, Yukino looked at Komatsu and said, "So, you want to find out if Satou already has soone he likes, right? That doesn't seem too difficult. Couldn't you just find out yourself?"
"Ugh… But I don't know anyone in Class A. None of my friends do either," Komatsu mumbled, her voice small. "If I just ask directly, people will definitely find out. And if Satou already has a girlfriend, and then my actions get exposed, it'll be really embarrassing…"
Yukino didn't quite understand. She turned to Eriri and asked, "Embarrassing? What do you an?"
Eriri imdiately understood and explained, "Well, girls tend to be really into gossip, especially when it cos to romance. If soone in the class has a crush on a boy, or if they get a boyfriend, people will start asking all sorts of questions."
Hearing that, Komatsu nodded vigorously. "Exactly! That's why I don't want anyone to find out for now."
"I see."
Yukino thought for a mont and then said, "I'm not very familiar with my classmates, and I've never spoken to Satou before. But I've heard that he's a mber of the school's soccer club. That might be a good place to start investigating. Eriri, does anyone from your class play soccer?"
"I'm not sure." Eriri shook her twin-tails, looking troubled. "The boys in my class are kind of a hassle. A few of them keep trying to ask out. As for the soccer club, I don't think we have any mbers. We do have two in the track and field club, though. What about your class, Ichin-kun, Utaha?"
"We have so."
Ichin gave a definite answer. "Two of my classmates are on the soccer team, and they're actually starters. If Komatsu-san is okay with it, I can have soone discreetly ask around tomorrow. I promise I won't let anything about you slip. I have my ways of keeping those guys quiet."
Komatsu's face lit up with excitent. She imdiately stood up and bowed. "Thank you so much, Senpai!"
Ichin waved it off as if it were nothing and gestured for her to sit back down before continuing, "By the way, Komatsu-san, if Satou really doesn't have anyone he likes, what's your plan? Are you going to confess to him directly?"
"Eh? Confess?"
Komatsu's face turned bright red as she flusteredly waved her hands. "C-Confess?! No way! I just want to know first, then see if I can find a way to get to know him… But I don't even know if I'll have the chance."
At that mont, Utaha, who had been silent the entire ti, finally spoke up.
"Can I ask what this Satou guy looks like?"
Still blushing, Komatsu answered, "Um… He's really handso. And he's great at sports."
Utaha nodded and turned to look at Yukino, hoping to get a more objective opinion from soone who was in the sa class as him. After all, soone with a crush might see things through rose-colored glasses.
However, Yukino simply leaned back in her chair and said calmly, "I don't really pay attention to the boys in my class."
Utaha smirked. "Alright then, let's make a comparison. How does he stack up against Ichin?"
Yukino glanced at Ichin, who was sitting next to Utaha, and after thinking for a mont, she replied, "In terms of height, he's nowhere near Senpai. He's probably around 170 cm. As for his looks… I'm not great at evaluating people's appearances, but at the very least, I wouldn't say he's unattractive."
"So, there's a bit of a gap compared to Ichin. Got it."
Clapping her hands together, Utaha turned to Komatsu. "Alright then, Komatsu-san. We'll look into whether Satou has soone he likes. After that, we'll discuss the next steps. Sound good? Don't worry—we'll keep this completely confidential."
"That works! I'm counting on you! Thank you so much!"
Komatsu gave a deep bow to everyone before leaving the Service Club.
Once the door closed behind her, Eriri turned to Utaha. "So, if Satou doesn't have a girl he likes, what's your plan? Are you going to give her so advice?"
"More or less."
Utaha pulled out a small notebook and started jotting things down as she spoke. "But I think we need to gather more useful information first. If this Satou guy turns out to be decent, I can give her a few pointers. But if he's not, then to prevent an inexperienced girl from getting hurt, we might have to step in. Of course, that's just my opinion. I'm not an official mber of the Service Club. Ultimately, it's up to you and Yukino."
After a mont of silence, Yukino gave her own thoughts.
"Let's investigate first. As for the rest, I agree with Senpai's opinion. Failing a confession isn't a big deal, but we need to make sure that Satou's personality and character aren't problematic. We can't let our client end up getting seriously hurt."
And so, the Service Club's first request began.
Ironically, it was a romance-related request—sothing the second daughter of the Yukinoshita family understood the least.
