Tuesday.
The curtains were tightly drawn. The room was dark and completely silent.
It was already afternoon and Gojo Satoru was still deep in sleep.
The reason?
Last night—
"I'm telling you, Onii-chan," Umaru Gojo had said while holding her controller, eyes blazing with determination, "we are NOT sleeping until we clear this level!"
Gojo had adjusted his sunglasses dramatically, before saying, "Deal."
A flag had been planted.
A foolish, irreversible flag.
After which they played for several hours straight.
They did not clear the level.
Not even close.
By 1 a.m., they discovered the game had many hidden routes.
By 3 a.m., they discovered the hidden bosses.
By 7 a.m., they unlocked secret achievements after barely defeating the bosses!
By 9 a.m., even Gojo's sanity was hanging by a thread!
At exactly 10 a.m., after uncovering what felt like the fifteenth hidden plot twist—
They finally beat the game completely.
Gojo had stared at the ending screen in disbelief.
"What kind of sadistic person sets up this many hidden plots?"
He almost used Hollow Purple on the screen, just to make it stop!
As for Benio Adashino, Kirara Hoshino, and Vanilla—
They too suffered greatly!
Because the siblings had screamed, celebrated, argued, and blamed each other loudly the entire night!
🎶Never gonna give you up~ Never gonna let you down~ Never gonna run around and desert you~ Never gonna make you cry🎶
A loud, dramatic, annoying ringtone blasted through the room.
Gojo's hand flailed out from under the blanket like a zombie claw getting up from his slumber. He grabbed his phone blindly.
Tap.
Before he hung up without even looking who it was from.
The room falls into silence again as he smiled peacefully and turned over, pulling the blanket above his head.
Bzzzt—!
The phone rang again.
He frowned without opening his eyes, his hand again reach out for the phone as he—
Tap.
Hung up again.
Bzzzt—
Again.
Tap.
Hung up.
Bzzzt—
Again.
Tap.
Hung up.
Bzzzt—
Again.
"…You've got to be kidding me."
Gojo finally sat up, hair messy, his sleepmask slightly crooked.
He remove them before he squinted at the screen with a very annoyed expression.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Without thinking, he was about to hang up again—
Then paused.
"…Wait."
He stared at the number carefully this time.
"If I remember correctly… this is Yukino's phone number, right?"
Last night.
During their chat, he had sent his phone number.
Yukino had sent hers as well.
But Gojo, suffering from advanced-stage laziness, had thought:
I'll save it later.
Later.....
Which meant—
He never saved it.
And now—
He had just hung up on her four times!
"…Ah."
Gojo slowly felt the air grow colder as he too felt the surrounding getting unusually cold.
Using [Reverse Cursed Technique], he forced his brain awake.
Then he quickly dialed back.
Buzz…~
Long standby tone.
Then—
Click!
The call connected after a few seconds,
"You still remember how to call back this number, Gojo-sensei?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was icy.
So icy that even curses would shiver in the sight of it.
Gojo immediately smiled awkwardly, he could immediately guess what kind of face she would be making...
"Ahaha…My bad... I forget to save it...You're at the bus stop right? I'll come pick you up!"
"No need."
With a cold snort, Yukinoshita Yukino continued.
"I'm already at your house."
Click.
After speaking, the phone was hung up.
"…At my house?"
Gojo raised his eyebrows, as he release some cursed energy and expanded his perception slightly.
Sure enough—
Yukinoshita Yukino was sitting in the living room, with a very calm face.... with Vanilla on her lap and his sister — Benio Adashino beside her.
.....
A few minutes earlier.
Outside.
Yukino stared at her phone that was hung up again with an unreadable expression.
Four hang-ups.
FOUR!
She was not stupid.
She had already figured it out, the reason behind it...
"That careless man…"
He must not have saved her number and seeing an unknown caller, he kept hanging up.
Just how much time did it take to save someone number!
Clenching the phone in anger, she almost turned around and left.
But then—
She stopped again as she glance at the house, her thought completely fixed on the cute kitten who she had not seen for a very 'long time', Vanilla might have miss her dearly!
Her expression softened slightly, as she lossen her grip on the phone.
"…Fine."
She sigh as she began walking towards the front door and pressed the doorbell.
Ding dong—
A few seconds later—
The door opened slightly after the ring as a small head peeked out.
It was Benio Adashino.
Her eyes sharpened as she examined the unfamiliar person in front of her, carefully.
"Yes?"
"Excuse me," Yukino said calmly, not minding the look she was giving as she continue, without changing expression."is this Gojo Satoru's residence?"
Benio blinked.
So it was another visitor for Gojo-sensei....
"Yes. Please come in."
Immediately, she let go of the handle and said, opening the door fully.
Nodding calmly, Yukinoshita Yukino walked in.
There are also indoor shoes specially prepared for guests at the entrance.
After changing shoes, she walked into the living room with Benio following just behind her. And immediately saw—
Vanilla, curled lazily on the sofa, sleeping without any care.
Her beautiful eyes lit up, as she began to walk towards her—a little too fast,
"Vanilla…"
Her voice softened completely, even Benio who had just meet her blink her eyes as she saw how quickly the person change.
"Vanilla, I'm here."
Hearing someone calling it's name, Vanilla slowly opened her eyes, as she yawn before glancing at the person walking towards her, seeing that it was a familiar person.
"Meow~ Meow~"
Yukino's heart melted at the sight of the welcoming Vanilla.
"It seems you still remember me."
She said softly with a small smile as she gently picked up the white cat and stroked its soft fur and neck area, lovingly.
For a moment—
It was as if all the frustration had vanished.
Buzz-!
Just then her phone vibrated, Yukino turned around the phone screen to see who it was from.
Caller ID: Gojo Satoru-sensei.
She blink her eyes twice as her finger hover over the red Decline button—tempted to hung-up the call but decided against it as she answered after waiting for a few seconds.....
{We already know how that went.}
.....
Present—
Gojo walked towards the living room after washing his face, while [Reverse Cursed Technique] get rid of the sleepiness— he still like to wash his face after a good sleep.
His face wore a lazy smile, as he walk in and was about to greet the guest.
But as soon as he did what greet him was Miss Yukinoshita Yukino's death stare.
Believe it or not he could felt killing intent from her eyes!
"Gojo-sensei," Yukino said sweetly, sweeter then the candy Gojo eat before coming her. Which was somehow more terrifying than her cold tone.
"You are truly remarkable. You forgot I was coming. And you hung up on me four times. Impressive." She continue with the same tone and same expression.
Benio's eyes widened slightly, as she quietly sat straighter—fully focus on this conversation.
However, Gojo Satoru still had the lazy smile on his face, his smile didn't even twitch infront of Yukino's cold gaze.
"Details, details. You're here now, right? By the way—Benio-san, Yukino-san. What would you like to drink?" As he change the subject without a change on his expression.
"Black tea," Yukino replied coldly, not really caring anymore about the hung-up situation — she already knew how shameless and thick-skinned he is.
At this point — Yukino wasn't really angry anymore, she reason why she was her was already in her lap, as she continue to stock it gently. This is a heavenly feeling.
{T/N: 💀}
Cat therapy was extremely effective in healing someone.
"Ah...Black tea," Benio voice echoed, just after Yukino, even though she had not tried black tea before, just how bad can it get?
.....
A few minutes later—
Gojo return from the kitchen as he placed the steaming cups of black tea on the table.
He too pick up his own cup as he sat down casually, taking a sip of the black tea. Then his eyes landed on something beside the sofa.
A neatly wrapped bag.
"What's this?" Gojo asked curiously.
"Cat food," Yukino replied without even glancing at him, as she continue to caress the kitty.
Gojo immediately beamed in joy after hearing it.
"Oh, you didn't have to bring anything."
"It's not for you."
"I know, I know," Gono waved dismissively, as he continue happily. "But this saves me cat food money."
Benio: "…"
Yukino: "…"
They were already immune to his shamelessness as they continue to do what they were doing without any reaction.
"Oh right. Yukino, let me introduce you properly." Gojo suddenly said as if he had just remember something as he gestured to the girl beside him.
"This is Benio Adashino. My student. Due to certain circumstances, she's currently staying at my house."
Benio nodded politely.
Yukino nodded back.
"And Benio, this," Gojo continued, this time more dramatically, "is Yukino Yukinoshita. The head of the Service Club at Sobu High School. The most popular and beautiful girl in the school. Also a student under Hiratsuka Shizuka-sensei."
Well, was....since the number of beautiful girls had increase. She was still very popular even after all that so it wasn't wrong to introduce her this was, Gojo thought to himself in amusement.
Benio froze, at the club name.
"…Service Club?"
She turned her head slowly towards Gojo-sensei, her expression very strange.
Are you sure that's what you said?
Service Club?
Not—
A "serving" club?
Her mind couldn't help but ran wild because of the name.
How could such a beautiful girl set up a service department? And the school allows it? It's really outrageous!
What kind of dangerous club is this?!
