In the Service Club room, the girl who had been happy that Asa hadn't been led astray by that woman, Hoshino Ai, was now in a quandary.
Just moments ago, Asa had looked at her with anticipation and said: he wanted to learn archery!
This was the first time Asa had made a clear request of her since he came to the Yukinoshita Family home. According to the knowledge she'd acquired from her book on sibling relationship skills, this was a signal that her little brother had finally opened his heart to her and recognized her as his older sister!
If that was the case, she, as his sister, must fulfill Asa's wish unconditionally.
However, she herself hadn't studied Kyūdō (Japanese Archery) much. Furthermore, with her habitually aloof personality, she didn't have any friends at school. She certainly didn't know anyone in the Archery Club.
Yukino thought for a moment and was embarrassed to realize that, as a sister, she was completely unable to help Asa in this regard.
"If not at school, I'll have to find an archery master to teach Asa-kun outside of school..."
"But... the money might not be enough." Yukino's slender, beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly.
As the second daughter of the Yukinoshita Family, she naturally received a generous living allowance. But that was only for daily expenses; trying to hire an archery master would leave her funds stretched thin.
As for asking her older sister, Haruno, for help... The thought was crushed the moment it surfaced in her mind. As a younger sister who had always lived in the shadow of the superior Haruno, Yukino's most frequent childhood refrain was, "You should learn more from your older sister!" Bound by these words, she had even come to believe she was nothing more than a lifeless doll, a substitute for her sister! The prolonged, oppressive environment at home had created her current stubborn and distant personality.
It wasn't until Asa's appearance that she found some warmth in the Yukinoshita household. To hold onto this warmth, Yukino was willing to give everything she had.
Just as Yukino was contemplating methods, Hiratsuka Shizuka strode in, her high heels clicking on the floor.
"Asa-kun wants to learn archery?"
"Why didn't you just ask me!"
Yukino paused slightly, looking up at Shizuka. "Does Hiratsuka-sensei dabble in archery?"
Under Yukino's slightly furrowed scrutiny, Shizuka lifted Asa onto her lap, leaning her sharp, elegant chin onto the little shota's shoulder for a cuddle.
"I don't."
"But I know someone who does."
"The Student Council President, Shinomiya Kaguya, she's the Archery Club Captain," Shizuka said with a smile. As the high school's Japanese language and life guidance teacher, she had frequent work intersections with the Student Council. Naturally, she had become acquainted with the Student Council President, Shinomiya Kaguya.
"Shinomiya Kaguya?"
"Will that ice sculpture of a woman agree?" Yukino's mind conjured Kaguya's aloof yet gorgeous face. She had barely ever seen a second expression on that woman's face.
"You're one to talk about someone being an ice sculpture..." Shizuka silently grumbled.
She then spoke with confidence. "With I, Hiratsuka Shizuka, on the case, I can definitely make it happen!"
"Asa-kun, how are you going to thank Hiratsuka-sensei?" With that, she leaned down close to Asa's ear, her red lips lightly breathing out. The onee-san's elegant scent wafted over the little shota's earlobe, tickling him.
"I'll give Hiratsuka-sensei a massage!" The little shota slipped out of Shizuka's embrace. He then gently removed Shizuka's high heels. He placed her long, black-stockinged legs onto the chair.
Asa's small hands immediately began kneading her slender calves. His strength was moderate and appropriate, and his expression was extremely serious.
Shizuka initially smiled, preparing to enjoy it. However, once Asa started the massage, she felt an increasingly strange sensation in her body and unconsciously bit her red lip.
Yukino was stunned on the side. What was wrong with this woman? She was actually ordering her little brother around right in front of her! She hadn't even gotten Asa's massage service yet! Furthermore, Shizuka's current expression...
Yukino couldn't watch any longer and picked Asa up. "Hiratsuka-sensei, club activity time will be over soon if we wait any longer."
The feeling of comfort disappeared, and a sense of loss welled up in Shizuka's heart. After gracefully slipping her beautiful feet back into her patent leather heels, she stood up and stretched. Her voluptuous, onee-san-esque figure delivered a devastating blow right in front of Yukino, causing the latter's face to slightly darken again.
"Alright, let's go. Time to find Kaguya!"
....
A few minutes later, at the Archery Club.
The girl in the Kyūdō uniform had the temperament of an iceberg. Her ink-black hair was tied into a high ponytail, contrasting sharply with her pale, jade-like skin. Her face, which was of an unmatched beauty, was completely devoid of expression. Her red eyes stared at the little shota before her.
She said aloofly, "Hiratsuka-sensei, this child hasn't developed enough to draw a bow yet, has he?"
