Caijia tried to change the subject.
After all, judging from what Ebina said, it's very likely that he discovered Hayama helped Hobu confess his feelings...
"That's right..."
Ebina had lost the energy to make jokes at this moment. Normally, she would have started making a series of unrelated associations around words like "boy," "complex," and "vulgar."
"However, I still prefer the old atmosphere. Once things change, it's hard for me to accept, but I still want to get along well with everyone."
Also, I hope some interesting things will happen on the school trip.
In short, I'm counting on you all!
After saying that, Ebina hurriedly left the Service Department and thoughtfully closed the door for them.
Watching her departing figure, both Hikigaya and Yukino began to ponder what the other's "please" really meant.
Su Qing, on the other hand, seemed uninterested in this, listlessly resting her chin on her hand.
I don't know if it's because I activated my talent, but I'm hungry again.
At this moment, his gaze had quietly fallen on the cookies that he had just returned to Yui not long ago.
……
Chapter 214 A Seemingly Perfect Method
"What do you think... Ebina means by this?"
Watching Ebina's departing figure, Yukino pinched her chin and sought the opinions of the others.
She probably didn't even realize that she, who was once all alone, would never have said such a thing.
At the very least, he's not the first.
"I think it's pretty obvious... they just want us to stop Hubu from confessing his feelings."
As an outsider, Hikigaya understands Ebina's behavior of trying to avoid damaging relationships while making very tactful statements.
"So, she didn't want us to help the Ministry of Revenue create some surprises for her during the school trip..."
Cai Jia only realized it belatedly.
"No... if we really did that, it would probably be terrifying for Ebina."
If it were anyone else, Hachiman might even think to himself that the other person is stupid.
But when he saw Ayaka tilting her head and looking at him with curious and admiring eyes, only one thought remained in his mind:
Saika and the like are definitely the cutest!
"Although it's very unfair to say this to Tobe, I also believe that Hina is asking us to stop this confession that hasn't even happened yet."
As Yui spoke, a look of sympathy appeared on her face.
The confession failed before it even began, almost as bad as forgetting your exam admission ticket during the college entrance exam and being unable to enter the exam hall.
"But how did she know? Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence?"
Yukino, still holding her chin, said suspiciously.
"It can only be Ye Shan. There shouldn't be any other answer," Su Qing said.
"Is it psychology again?"
Yukino teased.
"It's as if you didn't see it."
Ignoring Yukino's teasing, Su Qing said calmly.
Given the other party's intelligence, if not 100% certain, there is at least a 90% chance that it is Ye Shan.
It's more accurate to say that Hayama and Ebina were putting on a show, almost as if they were treating the Service Club members like fools.
"Then things get complicated... We accepted the Ministry of Revenue's commission first, and now Ebina has come to us asking us to sabotage it."
Hachiman said with a headache.
He used to just want to be a quiet, marginal figure.
Now, he occasionally participates in club activities and enjoys the remaining "retirement" life on campus with Caijia and a few others.
But the requests these days are getting stranger and stranger...
"Speaking of which, is it possible to fulfill two conflicting requests simultaneously?"
Yui hung her head, clearly stumped by this logic problem.
Yukino, standing to the side, tapped her fingers lightly on the table, her brows furrowed.
Clearly, even Yukino couldn't come up with a safe solution right away.
"A request? So Ebina only asked us for a favor, without giving us a formal request?"
Hachiman seized on the blind spot. Although he felt that this statement was a bit of a word game, it might be a good suggestion for others, but probably not in this club.
"There is no difference between the two in essence... and there is really no reasonable reason to refuse Ebina."
Yukino also had a headache from thinking about it and sighed softly.
But the next moment, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Su Qing.
Since meeting him, his handsome face has always maintained a calm and composed demeanor.
Excellent grades.
Remain calm and composed in the face of adversity.
Yukino even saw her older sister's back in the other person's view.
It's just more generous and more reassuring.
Although she always says strange things, it inexplicably makes you want to get closer to her.
But...maybe it was those strange words that made her so restless, to the point that she subconsciously respected and trusted him...
Yukino's fair face showed no unusual expression, only her slightly trembling eyelashes indicated that her heart was not as calm as it appeared.
[Should we choose to rely on others again?]
A faint, ethereal voice seemed to resonate deep within Yukino's soul, but it was so faint that Yukino seemed not to hear it and ultimately chose to ignore it.
"What do you guys think... how about solving this using Truth or Dare?"
Seeing that everyone was in trouble, Saika also wanted to do her part for the Service Club, just like Hikigaya did.
"Truth or Dare?"
Yukino repeated it with a puzzled look, but the clever girl quickly grasped the general meaning from the literal words.
But pretending to know what she doesn't is not her style.
"What is that, a game or something?"
Yukino asked.
"Oh yeah. It's a little icebreaker game that friends play at gatherings or clubs. Miura and I used to play it at karaoke."
Yui, arguably the most experienced person present, was the first to explain.
"Yumiko and I would play rock-paper-scissors or compare the size of our cards to decide who would win or lose."
The loser then chooses between truth or dare as their punishment.
However, the specific problems or what needs to be done depend on the winner.
"This idea... seems pretty good." Hachiman thought for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Saika, you're amazing."
Regardless of the object of his admiration, Hachiman's praise was heartfelt.
To be able to come up with such a seemingly perfect method in such a short time demonstrates an exceptional ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
"Do you think this method is pretty good?"
Su Qing continued eating her cookies and asked.
"At present, it seems there is no better way."
After finalizing the specific rules of Truth or Dare, Yukino began to analyze the feasibility of this method, but there were still some things that needed to be determined before that.
"This so-called grand adventure isn't just limited to doing a specific thing, is it? It should include more abstract things. For example, could 'confessing your feelings' be considered a grand adventure?"
Of those present, only Saika and Yui seemed to know the answer, so Yukino asked them.
"Huh? I never think about these things when I play with Yumiko and the others... But now that Yuki mentions it, it seems that's true."
Yui was clearly taken aback for a moment.
Girls play games just for fun, and no one really takes the game rules too seriously.
Well... it's different for boys.
"You could say that."
After receiving Saika's confirmation, Yukino nodded and continued her previous analysis:
"If we can get Ebina present when the Ministry of Revenue participates in this game, and find a way for the Ministry of Revenue to be punished, we can use this opportunity to make him confess his feelings."
As long as you don't reveal beforehand whether you're playing truth or dare, you can leave some room for maneuver.
If the confession is successful, explain that you chose to tell the truth.
If the confession fails, then take a step back and say that he chose to confess because he was being punished by others in a game.
This way, the Ministry of Revenue's desire to confess his feelings is satisfied, while avoiding damage to the relationship that Ebina was worried about.
"Wow! Xiaoxue, it's Conan!"
Upon hearing this, Yui clapped her hands excitedly.
She knows how to play Truth or Dare, and she understands when you use it to express your feelings.
However, she only now understands the intricacies of the matter.
Ok……
No wonder Xiaoqing always told me to just apply mathematical formulas. Whenever I wanted to know how a formula came about, Xiaoqing would tell me with a smile:
You don't need to know that much.
So this is ah!
but.
The fact that she could make that connection shows she has indeed made some progress, hasn't it?
No, it must be because of Qing's guidance! (*^▽^*)
Chapter 215 Deafening Silence
"Yukinoshita has very deep thoughts..."
Ayaka gave an awkward smile.
Actually, she was just saying that casually to ease the tension.
She, like Yui, hadn't considered these intricacies.
To be precise, would anyone really think that much?
Ayaka said: I don't understand~
"In short, this seems to be the best solution at the moment."
Yukino shook her head, but her gaze was fixed on Su Qing.
The other party didn't say much from the beginning.
Is it that they haven't come up with a suitable method yet, or that they don't approve of Caijia's proposal?
To be honest, even though she had just analyzed the plan very thoroughly.
From this perspective, it's a good idea that allows for flexibility and perfectly resolves this matter.
But she had a vague feeling that something was... lacking?
"So everyone should agree with this plan now, right?"
