I am a freeloader in the anime world

After school the next day, Yukinoshita Yukino stepped into the Service Club as usual.

However, what she saw before her eyes, Yukinoshita Yukino, could no longer be simply summarized with the usual "same as always".

At this time, a man and a woman were sitting in the middle of the service table. There was also a girl standing next to the sitting girl. She looked a little frightened, but also stared at the boy sitting opposite with caution.

The boy, Yukinoshita Yukino, is very familiar to her, and the girl sitting there, Yukinoshita Yukino, is also very familiar to her.

The boy was Su Yang, and the girl was Sora Ginko from Yukinoshita Yukino's class.

As for the girl standing, Yukinoshita Yukino had some impression of her, but not much. She seemed to be from Class C in the first grade. As for her name, she had no impression. She vaguely remembered that she and Sora Ginko were both members of the Shogi Club of Sobu High School.

At this time, Su Yang and Kong Yinzi were sitting opposite each other at the table. Kong Yinzi looked serious and focused, with his head down, lost in thought.

On the table is the most popular table game in the Land of Sakura - Shogi. The chess pieces are arranged in an orderly manner on the board. At this moment, a fierce battle of wits is going on.

They played chess silently, interpreting the tension and excitement of the game with their silent contest. It seemed as if the entire space was left with only the crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the board and the subtle psychological competition between the two.

However, the boy's expression at this moment did not look nervous, but helpless.

"When did my service club become a shogi club?"

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed slightly. Although the sound was light, for her, the volume was already suppressed as much as possible.

The moment Yukinoshita Yukino's voice rang out, Sora Ginko and the standing girl's bodies seemed to be blown by an invisible cold wind, and they trembled suddenly.

Kong Yinzi leaned back involuntarily, as if being pulled by the magic of the voice, and her whole body fell into a brief state of stiffness and distraction.

"Ah!" The standing girl suddenly let out a cry of surprise, followed by a faint apology, which was unclear and seemed to carry a hint of unspeakable weakness. It sounded quietly and echoed softly in the quiet space of the service department.

"Yes...I'm sorry..."

"What did you say just now? I didn't hear a word clearly. Could you please speak more clearly?"

Yukinoshita Yukino responded softly to the girl standing in an extremely gentle tone, a kind of intimacy that she had never heard of before.

Yukinoshita Yukino's voice was like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, carrying a hint of warmth and care, as if telling of the deep friendship between them.

However, after hearing what Yukinoshita Yukino said, the girl standing there just took a few steps back, and then suddenly ran out of the Service Club.

Kong Ginko's hands were trembling slightly. One of her hands was clenched into a fist. Her eyes kept moving between Su Yang and Yukinoshita Yukino, as if she was hesitating about something. However, Su Yang and Yukinoshita Yukino who were present did not pay attention to Kong Ginko. Their attention was all attracted by the girl who had run out of the service club.

She ran away in panic just because of a seemingly simple question. It must have been the terrifying expression on the questioner's face that made her feel frightened and as if she was facing a powerful enemy.

Su Yang was complaining in his heart.

This was just Su Yang's imagination. In fact, from the gentle and kind smile on Yukinoshita Yukino's face, it can be inferred that logically speaking, the girl might have just seen an illusion or was frightened by the sudden sound.

However, it was obvious that Yukinoshita Yukino did not think so.

At this moment, a feeling of pity welled up in Yukinoshita Yukino's heart. She thought to herself that it was really a sympathetic situation that he would have hallucinations while watching a shogi game.

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head gently, a hint of sadness in her eyes, then she coughed lightly and cleared her throat, trying to calm her inner waves and readjust her emotions.

"So, is there any commission?"

In fact, Yukinoshita Yukino had no intention of raising any questions to the standing girl.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed softly, this was not her usual expression of emotion, but was caused by Sora Ginko's unscrupulous behavior. She actually took Yukino's seat with peace of mind and sat down to play shogi with Su Yang. Such a shameless act made Yukinoshita Yukino feel helpless and unhappy, and finally she couldn't help but sigh.

If it was Su Yang sitting in her seat, she wouldn't have sighed so much, at least she wouldn't have felt that inexplicable anger in her heart.

Sure enough, this is all Su Yang’s fault!

Su Yang: Huh? So unreasonable?!

"You don't seem to be planning to follow her footsteps and flee. So, can I ask what matters you have come to the Ministry for that you need us to handle?"

Yukinoshita Yukino walked to Su Yang's side, put a hand on Su Yang's flowery shoulders, looked at Kong Ginko who was sitting in her seat, and asked.

"..."

For some reason, Su Yang always felt that there was a sour smell in the service department.

However, Su Yang, who possessed superhuman perception abilities, knew very well that he must not make a sound at this time, otherwise he would definitely face the wrath of Yukinoshita Yukino.

"what?"

Sora Ginko sat in Yukinoshita Yukino's seat, her eyes firm and slightly doubtful, as if she was the real master of this service club.

Seeing Kong Ginko's appearance, Yukinoshita Yukino placed her hands on Su Yang's shoulders even more tightly.

"..."

It hurts a bit. I want to speak up to stop Yukino, but it seems like something is not right right now. If I speak up, I will probably get beaten to death, right?!

Su Yang smiled bitterly in his heart. This inexplicable atmosphere in the service department was really uncomfortable!

"I say, classmate Kong Ginko, do you have any request when you come to the Service Club?" Yukinoshita Yukino tightly grasped Su Yang's shoulders and looked at Kong Ginko with a somewhat unfriendly expression.

Su Yang and Yukinoshita Yukino did not notice that at this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino was like a child whose beloved thing was about to be taken away. She was constantly protecting her beloved thing and declaring her sovereignty.

But Sora Ginko discovered that, after all, shogi is a chess sport, and Sora Ginko is even one of the best in it. Her IQ is actually not low. She knew very well what Yukinoshita Yukino's performance meant.

Therefore, Kong Yinzi clenched his fist under the table even tighter.

For some reason, Sora Ginko wanted to stand up and say to Yukinoshita Yukino, "Hoshino-kun is not your property, you hurt him!"

But the fact that Su Yang and Yukinoshita Yukino have a good relationship is almost known to everyone in Sobu High School. There are even rumors that Yukinoshita Yukino and Su Yang are actually in a relationship like a couple.

For some reason, these rumors made Kong Yinzi very unhappy.

However, Kong Yinzi didn’t know why she felt unhappy. After all, the relationship between her and Su Yang was not at all close. Their relationship was just slightly better than that of strangers.
