How to Make Her Meow Willingly?

"What's really going on with teenagers these days? Bunch of little kids acting all grown up, all of them are problem children!"

After two glasses of hard liquor, Hiratsuka couldn't hold it in anymore, venting her frustrations to Haruno.

Of course, the main object of her complaints was that brat Shinnosuke.

Hiratsuka could be said to both love and hate Shinnosuke. What she was most worried about now was Shinnosuke attracting too many girls. The girls at Shuchi'in Academy were basically children of the wealthy. As far as she knew, Shinnosuke's family background was very ordinary, and if something happened, it would definitely be very troublesome.

"Shizuka-chan, it's only natural for teachers to encounter problem children. But, the problem child you're referring to shouldn't include Yukinon, right?"

Haruno wasn't very interested in the drink in her glass. Gently swirling her wine glass, she looked very elegant, a stark contrast to the blunt Hiratsuka.

The men in the drinking establishment also occasionally glanced at her.

"Your younger sister is even more dishonest than you, Haruno. You're not good to your sister. Her strange personality is mostly because of you."

Hiratsuka knew Haruno very well. This sociable woman could get along with anyone except her own younger sister. She always liked to tease her with a bad attitude, which eventually made Yukino slowly become who she was now.

In short, it was the special circumstances of the Yukinoshita family that created this complicated family relationship.

A slightly gentle father who married into the Yukinoshita family, a mother who led the whole family and was too dominant, an older sister who was very capable but lacked sincerity, and a younger sister who was a bit confused due to her childhood experiences.

A family whose development was temporarily stagnant, not good enough above or below, three mothers and daughters who were dishonest and couldn't express their inner feelings.

"But you can rest assured, I've found a very interesting kid. He will definitely change Yukino."

"Oh?"

Haruno became interested. She was very aware that she herself was less than honest, but every time she saw her cute younger sister, she couldn't resist teasing her.

After all, for whom had she been working so hard all this time? Wasn't it for Yukino?

As long as she was capable enough and could inherit the Yukinoshita family, then Yukino could freely enjoy her life, choosing her own lover and future.

It was just that telling Yukino all that directly was the same as killing her.

Wanting Yukino to become more mature, but also wanting Yukino to remain childish forever, who would understand this contradictory thinking?

"Tell me about him, and also about Yukinon. I heard she established a club?"

Hiratsuka told Haruno about Shinnosuke and the Service Club, with an emphasis on her complaints about Shinnosuke, that unreliable and troublesome brat.

Haruno nodded in agreement. She became slightly interested in the man named Nohara Shinnosuke that Hiratsuka mentioned, but not too much.

What she was thinking about now was that after taking Hiratsuka home later, she would look for Yukinon to replenish her sister's energy and also see how her sister was living alone.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Yukino felt restless after returning to her apartment. She slightly regretted agreeing to eat sukiyaki with Shinnosuke, but she did want to eat and also wanted to observe him, looking for his weaknesses.

In her view, Shinnosuke's pretentious grown-up attitude was just a facade to hide some kind of emotion deep in his heart.

Just like herself, her cold and arrogant attitude was to hide her gentle heart.

Unfortunately, Yukino guessed wrong. Shinnosuke wasn't pretending; he was always like that.

A sudden vibration from her phone made Yukino hurriedly pick it up.

Fatso: {Almost ready, Yukinon hurry over}

"Yukinon again, why can't Nohara-kun remember? Oh well, it's much better than Haruno, just let it be."

Leaving the room, arriving at the door of Shinnosuke's apartment, she took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Waiting for a moment, the door opened, but Shinnosuke wasn't visible through the opening.

Looking down, Yukino then realized that the one who opened the door for her was the puppy she had seen last time! A leash was tied to the doorknob, and the other end was being bitten by the puppy.

Yukino and Shiro stared at each other, her body instantly tensing up. She was very afraid of dogs, even a small dog like Shiro made her very scared.

Fortunately, Shiro was a very polite dog. He released the leash from his mouth, nodded at Yukino, then turned around and left.

'This dog is too smart, isn't it?'

Seeing Shiro go to his kennel and not intending to attack her, Yukino felt relieved.

"Yukinon's here! I'm still cutting vegetables, almost done!"

"Okay."

Yukino replied and observed the room.

Although they were neighbors, her apartment was twice the size of Shinnosuke's, and the decoration was also much better.

His room wasn't very tidy, a little messy, but not to the point of being dirty. On the contrary, it felt very lively, warmer than her very neat but somewhat cold room.

On the small dining table in the not-too-large living room, there was already an electric hot pot. Several side dishes were placed around it. Shinnosuke himself was cutting vegetables and meat in the kitchen not far away.

A faint aroma of rice filled the air. On the edge of the table were two small bowls containing raw, bacteria-free eggs.

The aroma of the food made Yukino feel much calmer, and her body was no longer so tense.

'Nohara-kun seems much more reliable than I imagined?'

"Alright, just wait a little longer."

After putting the cut vegetables and beef into the pot and turning on the hot pot, Shinnosuke sat down expectantly. Yukino also pulled out a chair and sat down politely, also looking at the electric hot pot on the table with anticipation.

Looking at Yukino, Shinnosuke summarized his information.

Yukino really liked cats, a true cat lover. Her relationship with her family wasn't very good, especially with her older sister; their relationship was a bit strange.

How to make Yukino meow willingly in front of him?

Judging from her personality, this wasn't going to be easy.

"Nohara-kun, you staring at me like that makes me uncomfortable. Don't tell me you finally couldn't resist your desires and want to attack me?"

"I told you before, I've been practicing aikido for a long time."

"Relax, I only like women who are well-built and very gentle. Yukinon still needs to work harder."

'Work harder? How do I work harder? Is this something that can be changed with effort?'

'Really makes my teeth itch. If I were Hiratsuka-sensei, I could punch him without any psychological burden at all!'
