Chapter 15 Then I can throw it 9 times!
Yukinoshita Haruno switched to her spoiled mode. "Please, Shizuka! I originally wanted to give this task to Hayama, but unfortunately, he and Yukino aren't in the same class, so I had no choice but to ask you, my kind and beautiful homeroom teacher!"
"..."
Yang Nai continued, "Three meals of drinks, plus one meal at a three-star restaurant."
Hiratsuka Shizuka picked up her coffee. "That's not what I meant. It's just that Yukino has grown up and should have her own life. Constant attention... isn't necessarily a good thing."
Yukino Yukino pouted. "Seriously, Shuchiin is a mixed bag. What if Yukino really gets kidnapped?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka chuckled, "Don't worry, if Yukino really does have contact with any boy, I'll keep an eye on it."
"Then I'll have to rely on information sharing!"
"But it's impossible no matter how you look at it, right? Yang Nai, you're just overthinking it. Don't you know your sister? If she really had too much contact with a certain boy, you don't need to treat her to a three-Michelin-starred restaurant, I'll pay for it!"
"..."
Yukino fell silent. Suddenly, her gaze turned to the window, her pupils widening visibly, as if she had seen something astonishing.
"What's wrong, Haruno? What did you see?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka slowly turned her head following Haruno's gaze, and with a "pfft," accidentally spat out the coffee in her mouth.
Hiratsuka Shizuka put down her coffee and rubbed her eyes hard. She could hardly believe her eyes; it had only been a week since school started.
Yukino, who's usually as cold as an ice cube... Yukino doesn't even have any female friends, let alone boys... is actually going on a date with a boy on the weekend!!
At the entrance of the shopping mall, Yukino Yukinoshita calmly followed a boy into the crowd and disappeared from sight.
Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes, stood up, and walked straight out the door.
"Xiaojing, please pay the bill for me. I'll go check what's going on!"
Meanwhile, after entering the shopping mall, Yukino Yukinoshita took Ryo Uchiha to the pet store on the third floor.
"This one, and this one too, um, I want this one too!"
Would Yanyun-chan, a ninja cat, really need things that are for ordinary cats? Ah, forget about cat entertainment supplies, that guy can't live without his phone anymore.
"If you're talking about premium cat food cans, give me thirty to start."
As expected of the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family, she's incredibly generous. However, just as Yukinoshita was about to take out her credit card to pay, she was stopped by Uchiha Ryo.
"Once you've chosen your items, I'll pay. I'd look down on myself if girls insisted on paying for me in public."
Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "Boring male pride. Are you an outsider? These high-end cat foods and supplies aren't cheap."
"Even for students from outside the university, this amount of money is still affordable."
Uchiha Ryo preemptively bought the items. However, it was quite impressive that this pet store offered home delivery service for single purchases exceeding 300,000 yen.
After buying the items, which were expected to be delivered to the apartment building that afternoon, Uchiha Ryo looked at Yukinoshita standing outside the pet store.
"What are your plans next? Are you going to continue shopping and buy some other things, or go straight back?"
"Is this an invitation for me to go shopping? Then please allow me to decline."
"...Then let's go back."
It seems the task of raising Yukino's affection level should be left to Yanyun-chan; he has no interest in doing something that's met with indifference.
I reckon Hiratsuka-sensei is easier to win over than Yukino Yukinoshita.
As Uchiha Ryo was thinking, he saw Yukino suddenly stop in her tracks and look into a pet supplies shop.
It appears they've launched some new plush toys, and while promoting them, they've also set up a booth with prize-winning activities.
"Let's go take a look."
Yukino didn't move, but Uchiha Ryo changed course and headed towards the shop.
"Huh? You...."
Yukino Yukinoshita did see many interesting cat plush toys and Mr. Panda Pan plush toys, but these were prizes for the event and could not be bought with money.
If it were a purchase with money, Yukino would never give up the adorable Mr. Pan doll, but... as she stood in front of the shop, Yukino looked at Uchiha Ryo beside her.
"Why don't we just go back?"
Uchiha Ryo looked at the stall in front of him and beckoned the owner over while speaking.
"Since you seem to like it a lot, consider it a thank you gift for helping me introduce cat supplies."

A moment later, a portly middle-aged man walked over, carrying a box of plastic kunai, and pointed to the balloons on the foam wall about four meters behind him.
"500 yuan can be used for four throws. If you can pop three balloons, you can take home a plush toy."
Perhaps the new dolls were very popular, because there were already quite a few passersby throwing plastic kunai at balloons in front of Uchiha Rin. Among them were high school students like them, middle-aged people who were not young, and even elementary school students who stopped in front of the stall.
"Boss, is there something wrong with your plastic kunai? Why can't I pop them even when I throw them?!"
The middle-aged boss frowned. "How is that possible? Look at this."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper picked up a kunai and went to the balloon. He gently poked the balloon with the tip of the kunai, and the balloon immediately popped.
"Boss, give me 500 yuan's worth first."
Uchiha Ryo slapped out the banknotes, and Yukino could only sigh and stand behind him.
"Thanks for your support! Your girlfriend is really beautiful, you must get her the biggest plush toy."
Yukino raised an eyebrow, about to retort, when she saw Uchiha Ryo throw out the first kunai.
The foam wall was quite large, but the balloons on it were only about the size of a fist. Furthermore, the balloons weren't densely packed, making it difficult for an average person to hit them.
The kunai pierced the foam precisely, still some distance from the nearest balloon. The boss immediately breathed a sigh of relief and pulled it out with a smile.
Uchiha Ryo remained expressionless. The weight of the kunai was off; the overall weight had been manipulated, and ordinary throwing methods wouldn't work.
The shopkeeper chuckled and handed the kunai back to Uchiha Rin. "Hehe, not bad. Just a little short, what a pity."
The second time, the kunai grazed the edge of the balloon, but it didn't pop. It seems the edge of the kunai has been worn smooth; to pop the balloon, you need to throw it precisely with the pointed end.
"Wow, that's impressive! No problem, you still have two more chances!"
Yukino stepped forward, tugged at Uchiha Ryo's sleeve, and said softly.
"These limited-time events that only last one or two days are mostly problematic. They might be kunai or balloons, so it's best not to waste your money."
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "Trust me."
Yukino was momentarily stunned. It was the first time she had noticed that Uchiha Ryo's eyes seemed different from others. It was an indescribable feeling, but for a fleeting moment, Yukino seemed to see two shining stars.
[Yukino's affection for you has slightly increased - G-spot +5]
"Boss, we still need two more chances. Even if we win, we won't get much. I'm starting to suspect there's something wrong with your kunai."
"How could that be? Didn't we just try it? And you almost pricked yourself the second time."
Uchiha Ryo narrowed his eyes. "Is that so? But looking at the other people around, it seems like none of them have been able to get your doll."
The boss looked at Uchiha Rin, then at the seven or eight passersby who had already played the game and gathered nearby.
"Um... hahaha, guests are guests! How about this, I'll give you a discount, 500 yuan for seven chances, and you still have two chances left. If you give me another 500 yuan, you can throw nine more times."
Uchiha Ryo smiled and said, "Really? Then I'll throw it nine times."
