Title: Are All Men This Superficial?

Haruno and Yukino wore Shinnosuke’s t-shirts, which were clearly several sizes too big and didn’t fit well. Fortunately, they wouldn’t look naked, which put both sisters at ease.

In any case, they didn’t have to worry about being cats for the rest of their lives.

“You two, why did you suddenly appear in my house!”

Shinnosuke chose to attack first, but after what had just happened, Yukino felt she had already seen through this man.

Was chest size really that important?

If it were just herself, Yukino might not be so angry, but the main problem was that her older sister was also there! And she was also seen naked like her!

What’s more, both sisters had just sat on his lap!

What was even more annoying was that Shinnosuke kept staring at Haruno.

‘Why! Is the size of “those” really that important? Are all men this superficial?’

Yukino once again felt the world’s malice towards her.

‘Why is my older sister always so dazzling?’

However, Shinnosuke was able to recognize her, which made Yukino very relieved.

“It’s a nekomata curse, Nohara-kun. Yukino-chan was thinking of you the whole time, you know.”

After getting dressed, Haruno regained her composure, and her personality seemed to revert to her usual mischievous older sister mode.

It’s just that when she looked at him, she couldn’t help but recall the moment Shinnosuke hugged her, that comfortable and completely conquered feeling.

It seemed like some incredible attribute was awakening within her heart.

Most thrillingly, Yukino was also with him just now! Wasn’t what she hoped for to be able to spend her whole life with Yukino?

After explaining what happened today to Shinnosuke, Haruno glanced at her younger sister, who was still extremely flushed and looked like she could explode at any moment, and decided not to tease Yukino today.

“But the door to our apartment seems to be locked. Could Nohara-kun come with me to the management office to get a spare key?”

This was a luxury apartment, and the management office downstairs had a spare key.

The apartment where Yukino lived was rented by Haruno. Although she was already wearing Shinnosuke’s clothes, they didn’t fit. She asked Shinnosuke for another jacket, and only then did Haruno feel safer and not worried about looking naked.

Haruno and Shinnosuke went to get the key, and Yukino immediately collapsed on the sofa.

Why did such a thing have to happen to her!

She was grateful that Shinnosuke recognized her and removed the nekomata curse, but the price for removing the curse was too high!

If only Big Sister wasn’t there.

As Yukino daydreamed, she suddenly had an epiphany.

She immediately stood up and went to Shinnosuke’s bedroom.

“Shiro, thank you so much today! I’ll prepare a delicious meal for you!”

Seeing Shiro on his sleeping mat in the bedroom, Yukino was very grateful. In critical moments, Shiro was still reliable.

Hearing Shiro bark twice, Yukino was a little disappointed. After returning to human form, she couldn’t understand Shiro’s words anymore.

Why did someone like Shinnosuke have such a reliable dog?

But Yukino’s arrival in Shinnosuke’s bedroom wasn’t to thank Shiro.

She looked up at the painting of Eriri beside Shinnosuke’s bed.

Before this, Yukino had always felt strange about the relationship between Eriri and Shinnosuke.

Today’s experience made Yukino feel like she had discovered the truth.

After observing carefully, the eyes of the Yorkshire Terrier in the painting were very lifelike, its attention completely focused on Shinnosuke. This person, wasn’t it Eriri! That gaze was exactly the same!

In other words, Eriri and Shinnosuke had experienced something similar! And judging from this painting and their daily interactions, it was clear that it wasn’t like her, who only became a puppy for a short while, but that Eriri had interacted with Shinnosuke in puppy form for a very long time.

No wonder Eriri unconsciously called Shinnosuke “master”!

How annoying! Why wasn’t this special experience just her own!

After looking at the painting twice more, Yukino returned to the living room.

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

Inside the elevator, Haruno kept observing him silently. As clever as she was, she had also realized that Shinnosuke should have recognized Yukino from the beginning.

But after recognizing Yukino, he wasn’t surprised at all and immediately chose to pet the cat, and even she became a victim. This man was truly terrifying.

“Nohara-kun, do you like eating donburi (rice with toppings)?”

“It depends, on what kind of ingredients.”

‘You...’

Originally, she wanted to make a sarcastic remark to make Shinnosuke feel embarrassed, but Shinnosuke’s words made her even more embarrassed. Did she have to ask if she and Yukino were considered top-grade ingredients?

Under the somewhat ambiguous gaze of the apartment staff, Haruno successfully obtained the key.

“Anyway, I’m very grateful for today’s incident. If it weren’t for you, Yukino-chan and I might never have been able to return.”

Although Shinnosuke was very unreliable, he was able to recognize Yukino in an instant, proving that he cared deeply for Yukino.

Even family or friends might not have been able to do it.

At least Haruno felt that her parents and good friends would most likely not have been able to recognize her.

What Haruno didn’t know was that the bond between Shinnosuke and Yukino didn’t actually reach that level. Shinnosuke himself was quite perceptive, especially in treating girls; he had a superhuman-like intuition.

Always losing in front of him, Haruno also realized that Shinnosuke wasn’t the type of boy who wouldn’t even dare to talk to her; his level was much higher than hers.

Yukino should have been easy for her to control, right?

The women of the Yukinoshita family generally took the initiative, why did such a strange person as Yukino appear?

◆━⊰✧⊱━◆

“Yukino-chan, we’re back! We got the key!”

Returning to Shinnosuke’s room, Haruno was full of energy and returned to her usual demeanor in front of Yukino.

Seeing that Yukino’s expression was also calm and no longer like before, when she looked almost dead from embarrassment and anger, Haruno secretly felt relieved.

“Do you want to stay at Nohara-kun’s place today? I can pretend I don’t know anything, you know!”

“Nee-san, stop talking nonsense! Let’s go home quickly!”

Although she had discovered Shinnosuke and Eriri’s secret, Yukino was still very embarrassed; at least today she didn’t dare to look at him at all.

Every time she saw him, she would recall the moment she turned into a cat, and also what happened when she had just returned to human form.

A girl’s innocence disappeared just like that; wasn’t this an unexpected disaster?
