Chapter 220

The sobbing sound from the girl with the pink dango hairstyle suddenly emerged, instantly casting a faint, tense atmosphere over the quiet Service Club.

Yukinoshita Yukino was somewhat flustered, not knowing how to handle the situation.

She had never experienced a girl crying in front of her before.

"Yui-san, please don't be anxious. Sit down and have a cup of water first, and we can talk about it slowly."

After saying this,

Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and walked toward a table five meters away, where she kept her teacups and kettle, while Lin Ye proactively pulled out a chair to signal Yuigahama Yui to sit.

"Please."

"Th-thank you..."

After Yuigahama sat down, Lin Ye returned to his seat. By now, he had already grown accustomed to Yukinoshita Yukino's current state.

Getting used to it was fine;

seeing it often made it just that—though he still had to admit that Yukinoshita Yukino's body was truly fair and beautiful, it was a pity that her development in certain areas was really average.

Not to mention comparing her to Hiratsuka Shizuka or Tachibana Hinata; even her peer, Yuigahama Yui, who was sitting right there, couldn't be compared to her.

This one was truly a "dango," whereas Yukinoshita's were...

Lin Ye glanced over and immediately met Yukinoshita Yukino's icy glare.

It was as if she had seen right through his thoughts.

"Yui-san, have some tea."

Yukinoshita Yukino placed a cup of tea in front of Yuigahama Yui.

Faint white mist drifted from the teacup, and the fragrance of tea permeated the air.

"Thank you."

Holding the teacup, Yuigahama Yui calmed her sorrowful emotions slightly.

"Um, President, where is my tea?"

Lin Ye looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, who had returned to her seat, feeling as if something was missing from the empty space on the table in front of him.

"There isn't any."

"Why?"

"Provisional members don't get tea."

"I'll write the membership application right now."

But the next sentence made Yukinoshita Yukino unhappy.

"President, if you wanted me to join officially sooner, you could have just said so; there was no need to use this method."

"If it weren't for Hiratsuka-sensei's repeated requests, I would never have allowed you to join the club."

"Hiratsuka-sensei is being used as a scapegoat again."

Yuigahama Yui stared blankly at the exchange between the two, feeling that Lin Ye and Yukinoshita seemed to have a very good relationship. She wasn't familiar with Lin Ye, but she knew a thing or two about Yukinoshita Yukino.

A beautiful girl from Class J, the international class in the second year, cold-natured, with excellent grades, always ranking first in the second year, from a wealthy family, a famous name in Chiba, and very popular at Sobu High. She was a goddess in the hearts of many boys, yet no man could get close to her.

But now... it seemed there was one.

The girl with the pink dango hairstyle stared blankly at the two, her thoughts drifting.

"Yui-san, have you calmed down?"

Yukinoshita Yukino decided to ignore Lin Ye.

"Yes, yes, I'm much better now, thank you."

Yuigahama Yui blew on her tea and took a sip, then spoke slowly, "Sabre has been missing for two days. My mother and I looked for her all day yesterday and even put up 'lost dog' posters, but there hasn't been any news."

Thinking of her family's dachshund, she felt sad and worried again.

"Hiratsuka-sensei saw that I wasn't doing well today and asked me why. After I told her, she said I could come to the Service Club for help. Yukinoshita-san, y-you can help me find Sabre, right?"

*I can't... *

She couldn't say those words. The eager anticipation in Yuigahama Yui's eyes made it impossible for her to refuse.

"What do you think?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked Lin Ye.

"Me? As a provisional member, I don't have the right to express an opinion."

"You do now."

"Help, we must help. A classmate has a difficulty and turns to the Service Club for help. As a member of the Service Club, I must extend a helping hand, shouldn't I? President Yukinoshita Yukino, isn't that exactly why the Service Club was founded in the first place?"

Mostly, he wanted to use this opportunity to see if he could track down events related to the Eerie.

Lin Ye had that feeling.

But Lin Ye's righteous and enthusiastic appearance almost made Yukinoshita Yukino react with shock.

This wasn't the Lin Ye she had in mind.
