Chapter 32 Chapter 29 – What is Ayaka’s Gender?
The stay of her older sister, Yahiko, had not actually affected Yukinoshita Yukino’s life other than having to deal occasionally with her sudden probes and pranks, which made her even more troubled.
Especially last night when Yahiko insisted on bathing with her; it was very annoying.
If this happened a week ago, Yukinoshita might have half-heartedly consented to it, but now with a squatter in her body, she could only firmly refuse.
Thinking back on the chaotic scene from last night, the girl felt a headache coming on, and such days were going to continue.
Just having a rowdy Parasitic Bug in her head was already quite lively; add in her mischievous older sister, the home has become too “lively.”
“What a pity,” Lin Qi lamented with regret.
“Parasitic Bug, full of perverted thoughts, should be sprayed down with insecticide!” said Yukinoshita coldly as her ethereal voice carried a chill reminiscent of the Siberian tundra’s freezing wind.
Unfortunately, it did not affect Lin Qi.
“What I regret is not being able to move freely due to your sister’s close supervision. What exactly are you thinking about?” he stated seriously.
Lin Qi’s statement flipped the dynamics.
Rarely browsing online and uninfluenced by the internet, Yukinoshita did not expect this individual to be able to keep a straight face while saying such nonsense.
As if she were the one with unhealthy thoughts, her face reddened slightly, and her words lacked force: “I underestimated the Parasitic Bug’s audacity; I really lost to you.”
At that moment, there were only two people in the Service Club, and if someone unrelated came over, Lin Qi would naturally retreat from sight. Hence, they communicated without using brain channels.
Before long, Hachiman Hikigaya arrived at the clubroom.
“Good afternoon… Oh, Boss is here.” He was startled when he saw Yukinoshita wide-eyed.
Indeed, no matter when, seeing this scene suddenly was still startling.
“I haven’t seen you around for these couple of days,” Hachiman said casually as he sat down.
“Ah, well, more people have started joining this club, so there aren’t many chances to go out anymore.”
“Yeah, it must be partly because Teacher Hiruzen’s quietly promoting it, right?”
Not to mention, the ordinary girl, Yuigahama, joined the club, making it inconvenient to discuss matters of the Jujutsu world.
Initially, Hachiman thought that Yuigahama’s joining was instructed by Rinnagi, but later realized it wasn’t so. It was simply because Snow Underneath refused her advances due to her own kindness.
Snow Underneath is indeed too soft-hearted.
After feeling this way internally, Hachiman seized the opportunity to ask formally: “So how is the matter concerning Yukinoshita’s sister? Shouldn’t it be fine?”
“Not much of an issue, just that she is under house arrest by her older sister.”
“Please don’t say it like that.” Yukinoshita pinched her brow, sighing helplessly. “Because of work, my older sister is living with me now and it’s inconvenient to act compared to before.”
“If there’s a good reason, older sister shouldn’t stop me from going out… probably.”
Given what she knows about Yahiko, if she says she wants to go out now, this older sister will likely follow her.
“What do you mean by ‘probably’…” Hachiman subconsciously complained, then immediately realized a critical point, “In other words, until Snow Underneath regains freedom, there will be no way to exorcise cursed spirits, right?”
“In theory, yes,” Lin Qi grinned.
But before Hachiman could feel cheerful for a few seconds, he added meaningfully: “But is this really okay?”
“What do you mean?” Hachiman felt Lin Qi wouldn’t say anything good, attempting to anticipate his next move and quickly retorted, “While I am at home, I have been exercising my body and curse energy, not wasting my time!”
“That’s not what I refer to.” Lin Qi waved his hand, although it appeared as if Snow Underneath’s gesture to Hachiman.
“Most people encounter powerful cursed spirits and are killed almost instantaneously. Even weaker cursed spirits lead to negative effects like physical fatigue and mental disorder for ordinary folks. Without resolving it, death becomes inevitable in due time.”
“Recall you mentioned seeing several weak cursed spirits on your way to school. Those were minor, even with your current strength, you’d handle them easily.”
“Even if it means sacrificing yourself to rescue a dog about to be hit by a car, how can one capable of aiding others disregard ordinary people?”
“Whether or not to cleanse cursed spirits doesn’t really matter to me; teaching you is merely my hobby.” Lin Qi spoke nonchalantly, “Unlike Snow Underneath who deals with her troublesome older sister, your actions depend solely on yourself.”
Upon hearing Lin Qi’s remarks, Hachikan’s expression turned difficult immediately.
Ignoring the previous statements, it was like drinking bitter coffee; however, why does Lin Qi know I got hit by a car while rescuing a dog!
Although initially proud of saving the dachshund, after reflection, Hachiman realized his earlier act was rather foolish.
“Think about it, someone is coming,” Lin Qi remarked, withdrawing to watch from a distance, leaving a teenager with complex emotions, eyes looking downwards.
Shortly afterwards, Yui Yuigahama opened the door and walked in, followed by a petite… girl?
No, it’s a boy, right?
Through Yukinoshita’s perspective, Lin Qi’s keen observation revealed a slightly prominent Adam’s apple that wasn’t obvious, straddling the line between male and female.
“Hi there! I brought a client with me!”
Yuigahama greeted everyone cheerfully and pushed the cute boy standing behind her towards them.
“The name’s Hozuki Ayaka, I’m in the same class as Hachiman, please take care.”
With silvery hair, Ayaka Hozuki’s face blushed as she shyly smiled; using her fingers to nervously scratch her cheek then breaking into a blossoming smile. Her soft, neutral voice made it hard to discern his real gender.
At this moment, a teenager couldn’t help but be captivated by this beautiful scene.
Wish to protect this smile forever!
