Yang hugged Yin's small body tighter, nearly squeezing his life out as she looked over at the group of grown-ups while giving an explanation.

“Mitsuki Risho and I…have been dating for three months now. At first, we decided it was best to keep our relationship a secret so that nobody would get on our case about it. But since it’s come to this…”

Yang kisses Yin on the cheek. The boy blushes furiously as the rest of the people in the room let out a deafening gasp of shock from the show of affection.

“H-Higane…sweetie!”

Mr. Utose, who looked ready to pass out, wobbled over to his daughter.

“Y-you can be serious! There is no way you are actually dating a low life like that!”

“Hmph! Don’t call him a low-life father!” Yang shouted. “This is no joke! I am deeply in love—I even see a future with him!”

A shriek left the mouth of Mr. Utose as his face turned as white as snow. He floated down to the ground like paper but nobody helped him up as they continued to observe Yang and Yin—or technically Higane and Mitsuki as if they were aliens coming down from space.

The first to finally speak after the awkward silence was Otoki, who was a stuttering mess.

“T-this doesn’t make any sense! Yesterday, my brother told me that you were messing around in his club room with your friends and that you even threatened to get their club disbanded. What happened with that scenario?”

“O-oh…um…”

Yang tried to think up an excuse but Yin was able to beat her to the punch.

“That was a lie fabricated by me. In truth, Higane wanted to meet up with me to discuss dating plans but her friends followed her. We couldn’t reveal that we were dating with those people around so we tried to leave the club room. In the chaos, I may have…tripped on my shoe and knocked over Higane…”

“You…tripped on your shoe?”

“Yes,” Yin nodded aggressively. “You are aware sister…of have clumsy I am, yes?”

“W-well you are pretty clumsy but this is still all so—”

“I just…”

Everyone turned to Ms. Risho who seemed to be crying tears of joy.

“I just can’t believe…that my boy finally found someone! And someone so pretty!”

It was now Yang’s turn to blush.

“T-thank you…?”

“Mitsuki…this is a complete milestone! You have no idea how lucky you have it! Don’t mess up this chance with such a wonderful girl!”

“M-Mother!” Otoki turned to Ms. Risho with a face full of disbelief. “Don’t tell me you are actually buying this story! Isn’t there too many holes in their explanations!?”

“Otoki—there is no need to play detective!” Ms. Risho shouted at her daughter, wearing a massive grin. “Your brother is happy! So we should support him!”

“B-but—”

“With this, I think the matter is resolved…right principal?”

The principal, who was still sitting in his chair with a confused face just nodded slowly.

“Y-yes…?”

“Good! Well then, I will be heading to work! Otoki and Mitsuki, don’t be late for class! And Higane…”

Ms. Risho walked up to Yang and put her gentle hand on her shoulder.

“Take good care of my son~...”

With those final words, Ms. Risho left. The next to leave was Mr. Utose who still looked extremely pale. Then after him was Otoki who stared at Yang and Yin with squinted eyes and a deep frown.
