Sakurai cursed as she exited the weather forecast, only to find that the other person was no longer replying to her when she tried to rejoin the online battle.
His last words before leaving were: You wouldn't understand if you didn't have a partner.
Sakurai: ?
Wang Changling's mother!

PS:
My writing speed has really slowed down lately; it often takes me 2 hours to write a chapter of around 2300 words.
Also, due to recent updates, the progress has been a bit slow, but it's about time for Teacher Da to make his appearance.
Finally... White Alchemy, activated!
Chapter 312 Background
?
Arashiyama.
Bamboo Forest Path.
You can find this information in the Kyoto tourist guide, and it's not difficult for most people to find by following the signs along the road.
The bamboo here is tall and dense, close together, forming a long tunnel.
The pure moonlight filtered through the gaps in the bamboo forest, accompanied by the harmonious sounds of the evening breeze rustling the leaves, making the late autumn air even more refreshing.
"Is this the place Xiaoqing was talking about? It's a really beautiful place."
Yui arrived early, opened her arms, and gently closed her eyes, as if to embrace the moon.
"From the perspective of a place to confess one's feelings, this is not a bad choice."
Yukino's gaze was forward.
Almost every few steps, a white lantern would be lit up like the moon.
Saying.
The moonlight in the sky illuminates the ground, but what does the moon on the ground illuminate?
Under the interplay of the white and green bamboo forest and the warm-toned lights, even the evening breeze seems to take on a different hue.
"Hmm, confessing here will definitely be successful, right?"
Yui chimed in.
"Then... how about trying to confess here?"
After a while.
Yukino suddenly said something that surprised even herself.
There is no subject, so even if it is spoken to Yui, it is not clear who she is referring to.
"Huh? Didn't Xiaoqing already say that this was the place to arrange things? Or did I forget to check your messages?"
Yui blinked frequently, and under the hazy moonlight, Yukino couldn't see the true color of her eyes.
I've heard that people who aren't good at lying often have some distinctive micro-gestures when they lie.
Unless someone points it out, the person will hardly notice it.
Did you get sand in your eyes?
Yukino stepped forward curiously to take a look.
"Maybe my eyes have been a bit dry lately, and where did this sand come from around here?"
Yui laughed, probably finding the adorable, goofy Yuki rather cute.
He remained standing in the same spot, without taking a single step back, but he stopped blinking.
"Really? I had some extra eye drops at home, and they worked quite well for me. But seeing how happy you are, I think I'll pass."
"I'm so sorry, Xiaoxue, please give this to me, I really need it!"
Yui's smile froze for a moment, then she immediately lowered her posture, put her hands together, and bent over.
People may not bow down for a meager living, but they would for the same eye drops Yukino uses.
For a fleeting moment, she naively thought of the other person's eyes, clearer than moonlight, and wondered if they had used some kind of special eye drops.
But just thinking about it.
Seeing Yui's lightning-fast change of expression, Yukino smiled, her usually clear voice now filled with warmth:
"Oh dear, what should I do? Well... I'll think about it for a bit?"
"Whether it's a girl or a boy, this phrase always implies reluctance or unwillingness!"
Yui pouted and glared angrily at Yukino, wanting an explanation.
"But we are friends. I mean, for me, that's a very happy thing to say."
Yukino's eyes shone with a gentle light, and a smile was still written on her face.
"Wow, it seems that 'friends' are a very high priority for Xiaoxue."
Yui slightly opened her mouth, feigning surprise, but it was so obviously an act that even Yukino felt it was somewhat perfunctory.
It's absolutely unbearable to look at.
Her acting was just as bad as that guy's...
No matter how high the priority, it doesn't stop Yukino from making sharp remarks.
"You also promise me that you won't act anymore. I don't want to see my friends in Tokyo or anywhere else unable to afford a meal."
"Baka! I never intended to become an actress, but you never know, if I ever go hungry, I'll come find Xiaoxue~"
Yui spoke cheerfully, completely unconcerned about the other person's teasing. When Yukino's cooking was mentioned, she couldn't help but drool.
"you you...."
Yukino laughed out loud, it was unclear whether she was amused or annoyed.
"I...I...I'm Xiaoxue's very high priority friend. Is that not allowed either?"
Yui leaned forward slightly, the moonlight shimmering in her eyes like ripples on water.
"I understand. If that really happens, I will make an exception for you..."
[Seriously, why not do that to that guy?]
Sometimes Yukino feels that the relationship between the three of them is a magical triangle.
It's not that I don't like being alone with Yui or Su Qing, it's just that I feel we'd have more to talk about and laugh together.
This sounds like discovering some kind of magical chemical reaction, the kind where banning AI from competitions would lead to a Nobel Prize.
So where is that guy?
Why aren't they here yet?
Yukino felt inexplicably depressed.
It must be because the girl looked too smug at that moment.
"whee."
Yui shook her head, clearly enjoying what Yukino had said.
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye.
Reaching the limit of vision, that's a very far place.
Only by the light of the moon in the sky and the halo around the moon on the ground could the dark spot be seen slightly.
But it's not exactly real either.
"Xiao Qing is here."
Yui gazed into the distance and uttered those words.
"With eyesight as good as yours, eye drops might be a bit unnecessary."
Yukino's vision was only measured at 5.1 and 5.2 this year.
Even so, you still need to stare at it for a few seconds.
Only then can you vaguely make out a person's outline.
Although her intuition had told her from the beginning that it was indeed Su Qing.
[Speak of the devil and he appears, but... not bad at all!]
Yukino's smile returned.
It's subtle, a kind of restraint unique to young girls.
"He didn't arrive too late, but I thought he would come with Hachiman."
For some reason, Su Qing has not yet told Yukino, Yui, or anyone else about his plans.
Although I really didn't want to admit it, the other party had already made it clear that he was fully prepared.
The two women are here tonight as "spectators".
"Hachiman? Come to think of it, he should have been with Saika these past few days."
Yui tilted her head, thinking as she spoke.
"Their relationship is indeed getting better and better."
Yukino nodded in agreement.
Given the current situation, even if someone wanted to do the request made by Hiratsuka Shizuka, they probably wouldn't have the chance.
"There's no chance anymore..."
The girl deliberately lowered her voice.
But the wind carried those words to another person's ears.
Yukino suddenly turned her head.
Only by the moonlight in the sky and the halo around the moon on the ground could she glimpse the true nature of those eyes.
It was a faint, gentle feeling, like falling leaves—[gentleness].

Chapter 313 Venus Accompanying the Moon
?
"You've arrived quite early."
Su Qing said with slight surprise.
Perhaps due to his talent, his eyesight has actually exceeded the limits of ordinary people.
So he saw Yui and Yukino from a great distance.
Before they even saw themselves.
"I didn't know where to go after dinner, so I came early."
Yukino explained, glancing at Hachiman next to Su Qing with a strange look from time to time.
strangeness.
Did they come together?
How come I didn't notice it back then?
Or is she using her 5.2 vision to look at Su Qing, and her other 5.1 vision to look at Hachiman?
Yukino couldn't understand this.
