***********
Every ti she just sat there blankly, or found a space to stand quietly on her own, watching her sister dazzle like the main character of a shoujo manga.
But wait... wasn't Yuki Suou studying in a prestigious all-girls high school for the elite ojousamas? Why in Kami-sama's na did she transfer to Sobu High?
After class, Yuki Suou elegantly brushed off the curious stares and questions from her new classmates like a refined noble from a Taisho-era drama. With graceful steps, she made her way toward Yukinoshita Yukino, her eyes sharp and focused.
"Long ti no see, Yukinoshita-san," she said, reaching out her hand with a smile as polished as porcelain.
Yukinoshita Yukino raised a brow and shook her hand politely. "Ara, long ti no see indeed. What brings you here?"
"Let's talk outside. Too many people here—it's annoying."
Yukino gave a slight nod. "Wakarimashita."
The two made their way to a quieter corner of the school garden, sakura petals fluttering around them like a scene straight out of a romance ani.
"Yukinoshita, I want to join your club," Yuki declared directly, skipping any pointless small talk.
Yukino blinked. "Nande?"
"Because Onii-chan is in it, obviously. I can't let you girls hog all the fun."
"Onii-chan...? You an... Hozuki Nozomi?"
Yuki bead. "Hai! So, what do you say?"
Yukino's brows furrowed, her inner ice queen mode activating. "When did he beco your Onii-chan?"
"Since forever, duh. Ehh? Don't tell ... he never told you?"
Yukino's face froze. She rembered the mont Nozomi had tried to talk about his past, but she waved it off with a dismissive complint.
Regret flooded her like a bad filler episode.
"Can I join, then? I'm not just a pretty face. I was the student council president in middle school, y'know. Wouldn't I be a great asset to your club, buchou?"
Yukino crossed her arms. "I usually handle requests on my own. It's my style."
Yuki smirked, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Aha~ You're just scared I'll steal Onii-chan away, aren't you? Don't worry, I totally understand. You must be so nervous."
Yukino's cheeks twitched. "D-Don't be ridiculous. Isn't he your brother? What's there to steal?! Stop saying weird things!"
"Yatta~! I'm so happy you care about him too. I look forward to working with you, Yukinoshita-san! Please take care of !" She took Yukino's hand again with overflowing genki energy.
Yukino flinched, quickly pulling her hand back. "Since you're so eager and qualified... I suppose I have no reason to refuse."
"Saa, I knew it! The President's will is absolute, after all~"
Yuki giggled, giving her a mischievous wink. Yukino turned away, pretending not to be fazed, but her ear tips were turning suspiciously red.
"Did Sanshokuin-san tell you about Nozomi joining the club?"
"She did," Yukino muttered, eyes narrowing.
Hearing her confirmation, Yuki puffed her cheeks playfully. "So sneaky~ That Sumireko-chan really likes teasing you, huh? Now she's dragging into her little sches."
Yukino sighed. "That sounds exactly like her."
"Oh, by the way, you asked why I said Onii-chan has always been my brother, right?"
Yukino turned to her, brows arching. "Un... what did you an by that?"
Yuki's expression softened with a strange warmth. "Yukinoshita... you didn't know? I thought you'd at least done so digging before inviting him into your circle. You really are slow sotis. My Onii-chan... Hozuki Nozomi is just his current na. His real na is Masaki Suou."
Yukino froze.
The na echoed in her ears like a plot twist reveal from a mystery ani.
Yuki tilted her head with a nostalgic smile. "You want to ask why he's not the heir, right? It's because Onii-chan gave everything up to protect . He's always been the kindest person in the world. That's why... I love him the most."
Yukino gulped as realization sank in. So that was why her mother had insisted on the engagent.
"Let's get along well from now on, Buchou," Yuki said sweetly. "I have a feeling... we're going to be good friends. Or rivals. Depends on how things go, ne?"
Yukino stared at the mischievous sparkle in her eyes and sighed. "Yare yare da wa..."
========================
It was just around noon when Hozuki Nozomi strolled into the clubroom of the Service Club.
His steps were light, his eyes glittering with anticipation. Why, you ask?
Because today was the day of the promised hizamakura—the legendary knee pillow.
"Yosh! Ti to claim the prize!" he muttered under his breath, face practically glowing.
But as soon as he opened the door, his excitent screeched to a halt.
"Eh? What are you doing here?" Nozomi's eyes narrowed like a ninja spotting an ambush.
Sitting comfortably in the room was none other than Suou Yuki, his so-called sister slash bride.
"Ehh?! Nii-sama, that's so cruel!" she wailed dramatically, placing the back of her hand against her forehead like a tragic ani heroine. "You're saying you don't want here? You're breaking my heart! Should I just run away now?"
Nozomi twitched. 'This girl's acting stat must be maxed out... I can't even tell if she's joking.'
Sighing, he reached out and gently grabbed her hand. "No, that's not what I ant. I was just... surprised. You're always welco."
"Hehe~ I knew Nii-sama cared about !"
Without a mont's hesitation, Yuki leapt forward and hugged him tightly, her soft oppai pressing against his chest as she wrapped her arms around his waist like an affectionate cat.
Nozomi's face imdiately turned crimson.
Not out of embarrassnt.
But because it was becoming increasingly hard to suppress the rising... 'power.'
"Ahem. Suou-san," Yukinoshita Yukino interrupted, voice sharp and precise like a katana strike. "Please behave yourself. Throwing yourself into the arms of a hentai boy is not proper clubroom etiquette."
She stressed the words hentai boy with a cold stare in Nozomi's direction.
Yuki smirked, her eyes glittering with playful nace. "Ara~ Are you jealous, Yukinoshita-san? Could it be that you wish to dive into Onii-chan's arms too?"
"H-Huh?! W-Why would I ever want that? Don't be ridiculous," Yukino said quickly, face slightly pink. "As club president, it's my duty to maintain decorum. I can't let the atmosphere be corrupted by such indecent behavior."
Nozomi scratched his head, visibly confused. 'So the vulgar one here... is , huh?'
Yuki, having pushed the teasing far enough, released him and smiled sweetly. "Don't worry, you'll co to see soon, Yukinoshita. Nii-sama is the most gentle person in the world."
"I have no desire to know," Yukino replied curtly.
...
A little while later, Yuigahama Yui bounced into the clubroom. Her eyes widened as she took in the new face.
"Nozomi-kun?! Wait, who's this adorable girl with you?"
"Ah, allow to introduce myself!" Yuki stepped forward with flair. "I am Suou Yuki, beloved little sister of Hozuki Nozomi!"
"Sister?! Wait, sister?!"
"Yes~ And we've even kissed!" she added, mischief twinkling in her eyes.
"Whaaa?! Wait—nani?! You kissed?! That's so not normal!" Yuigahama blurted, her brain short-circuiting like a computer on fire.
Yuki just giggled. Whether or not they actually kissed was irrelevant—it was all about the chaos.
Nozomi cleared his throat and turned to Yui, trying to shift the topic. "Anyway, I'm a full mber of the Service Club, so of course I'm here. Weren't you gonna make cookies for today? I ca to check in on your progress. Don't tell you've been slacking off~?"
"Baka! Of course not!" Yuigahama puffed up her cheeks like a pouting squirrel. "I've been working hard! Right, Yukinoshita, Sanshokuin?"
Sumireko gave a nod and a warm smile. "Yuigahama-san's been trying really hard. She almost had it yesterday, just ran out of ti."
Yukino sighed and crossed her arms. "...She's putting in effort. I'll give her that."
Nozomi instantly understood. Translation: she tried her best, but failed magnificently.
Rumor had it that Yuigahama's culinary skills were so questionable that her own mother banned her from the kitchen.
"Well then, how about I help today? Don't underestimate —I'm a pro at cooking."
"Ehh?! Really? Then I'm counting on you!"
Yui's face lit up with joy, all her earlier embarrassnt forgotten.
anwhile, Yukino bit her lower lip ever so slightly.
'Why is he always this serious... when it cos to everyone else?'
