Unlike Yuki's pink room full of little girl romance, Uesugi Yui's room is simple and plain. There is not even a doll, let alone a mirror.

Uesugi Yui casually picked up a cushion and handed it to me, then sat on the bed and looked up at me, asking, "What do you need to discuss with me?"

With her eager eyes, it felt like I was teasing a child who had just received a gift box. But I didn't do that because I knew it would be suicidal, and also because I didn't have the luxury of time to play like that.

"Do you remember the Wanlanshan family incident at the coffee shop last time?"

I sat down on the cushion because the clear view from above would distract me.

"Yes, I remember."

Fortunately, Uesugi Yui didn't notice the reason why I sat down. She was focused on the topic I brought up.

"I need your help with this matter, can you do it?"

I thought that although Uesugi Yui would definitely help me, she wouldn't miss this rare opportunity to tease me...

"Yes, of course, it's my duty as an older sister."

Unexpectedly, Uesugi Yui readily agreed, without any intention of taking advantage of the situation. Maybe it's because this is the first time she has felt like an older sister since I became her younger brother?

Looking at Uesugi Yui's satisfied and radiant smile, I felt that I was right.

Afterwards, I briefly explained the information given to me by Fan and the fact that Baiya rented a warehouse to Uesugi Yui. Of course, I deleted the inconvenient fact that Fan visited my room in a towel at midnight.

After I finished explaining, Uesugi Yui frowned and said, "If it's in the afternoon... I can only skip school to catch up with the car you mentioned..."

It's really strange to hear "skip school" from Uesugi Yui, who is the disciplinary committee member. I thought such an option didn't exist in her world.

"Then let's skip school."

I replied without knowing my own good.

"Please, I'm a disciplinary committee member, how can I do something dishonest?"

I guess it should be like this. I still don't understand Uesugi Yui well. I made several mistakes in just a few sentences of conversation.

If it were "Ziongzong," would it be different?

Maybe it was a mistake to let someone as useless as me take over, but now is not the time for self-disgust. When faced with a problem, I should provide a solution.

"Find an excuse to take the day off."

I don't know if Uesugi Yui's worldview accepts such methods.

"Is making excuses a bad thing? Once the first lie is told, you need to constantly create new lies to cover it..."

Indeed, Uesugi Yui with such a strong sense of justice wouldn't agree with this kind of cleverness... Wait, speaking of justice, I remember seeing in "Ziongzong's" memory that Uesugi Yui wanted to become a police officer in the future...

"But sometimes, even police officers search without a search warrant, right? Sometimes, it's necessary to use alternatives, isn't it?"

I carefully chose my words and observed the change in Uesugi Yui's expression, completing this questioning that intends to reverse the situation.

After a long period of contemplation, Uesugi Yui finally nodded, struggling.

"Okay then, let's come up with an excuse to take the day off early. What excuse would be better?"

Uesugi Yui, who has always been upright from childhood to adulthood, even discusses creating an excuse with me seriously.

Isn't this the time to use a universal and simple excuse?

"Just say that your older sister is having her period, how about that?"

I confidently made a suggestion.

Then I was kicked out of the room by Uesugi Yui.

I...!

Ah, it's just a period, if I had a period every month, I wouldn't mind using it as an excuse.

It's all because of puberty.
