Chapter 315 Yukino: Everyone Else's Families Are Loyal, My Whole Family Are Traitors?
Yukino stared at her sister and said, somewhat incredulously, "You know the identity of another Restoration Society's parliamentarian?"
Haruno smiled like a weasel that had stolen a chicken.
"That's right. I know the identity of another Restoration Society parliamentarian. And you know her too, Yukino. Want to guess who it is?"
Yukino: ???
Seeing Haruno's expression, a bad feeling arose in Yukino's heart. But she couldn't guess who the other parliamentarian was.
Haruno leaned close to Yukino's ear and whispered a name. Hearing the name, Yukino's pupils suddenly contracted.
"You're joking, right?"
Yukino asked, trying to control her emotions. But Haruno spread her hands. "I know it's hard to believe, but unfortunately, it's true. I can be almost 100% certain."
Yukino was silent. Finally, she laughed. "I feel like an outsider."
After speaking, she said no more. Haruno also looked a bit embarrassed.
"Never mind. I'll contact Hakuto first."
Yukino picked up her phone and dialed Hakuto's number. But before she could speak, his voice came through.
"Sorry, Yukino. I was going to see you today, but something came up, so..."
Yukino interrupted him. "I'm not calling about that. I've found a Restoration Society's parliamentarian."
On the other end of the line, Hakuto was silent for a full three seconds. Then, in an uncertain tone, he asked again, "Yukino, are you sure you're serious?"
"I am absolutely sure. 100% certain of her identity. If you have time, come over. We'll meet."
"Okay. Where are you, Yukino-chan? I'll be right there."
After giving the address, Yukino hung up.
About ten minutes later, Hakuto appeared before her.
Looking at Yukino and Haruno, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face.
[I just guessed in my diary that Yukinoshita Haruno was likely one of the Restoration Society's parliamentarians. And then Yukino called me over. No way, no way. Could my guess have been...]
Yukino glanced at Hakuto, then said to him expressionlessly, "Yukinoshita Haruno, Restoration Society's twelve parliamentarians: Rat. After my persuasion, she is now willing to defect and become a spy infiltrating the Restoration Society."
[Wow. Yukinoshita Haruno really is one of the twelve parliamentarians, Rat. My intuition is something else. Who knew my guess would come true?]
[Speaking of which, could the rest of the Yukinoshita Family be members too? That would be interesting.]
Yukino, Haruno: ....
"And also, Yukinoshita Haruno says she knows the identity of another of the twelve parliamentarians."
Hakuto: ???
[Yukino is really my lucky star. Not only did she catch Yukinoshita Haruno, one of the twelve parliamentarians, Rat, but she also got the identity of another parliamentarian as a bonus. Is my luck finally turning?]
Hakuto glanced at Haruno, then smiled slightly. "I deeply welcome Miss Yukinoshita Haruno's decision to abandon darkness for light. So, who is the other Restoration Society's parliamentarian?"
With a fox-like smile, Haruno said a name that made even Hakuto's eyelids twitch.
Hakuto looked at Haruno and said in an uncertain tone, "If I remember correctly, that name is your mother's."
Haruno nodded affirmatively. "That's right. It's my mother, the head of the Yukinoshita Family. Restoration Society's twelve parliamentarians: Rabbit."
After hearing this, Hakuto directly fell silent. He didn't know what to say. Should he sympathize with Yukino, or admire her?
[Wow. I just casually said it. And it actually came true. Yukino's sister is one of the twelve parliamentarians, Rat. Yukino's mother is one of the twelve parliamentarians, Rabbit. Everyone else's families are loyal, but your whole family are traitors, Yukino-chan?]
"Yukino-chan, could you also be..."
Yukino looked at Hakuto expressionlessly. "I am not!"
Hakuto's expression was strange as he said to Yukino, "I didn't expect this. Your sister and mother are both Restoration Society's parliamentarians. Only you are not. It feels like you're being excluded."
Yukino looked at Hakuto expressionlessly. Her gaze made him involuntarily turn his head slightly.
Everyone else in the family was excluded except Yukino. But thank goodness she wasn't, otherwise the entire Yukinoshita Family would be executed.
Yukino said to Hakuto, "Go ahead and laugh if you want. Being part of the same family, but feeling like an outsider."
Even as she said this, her tightly clenched fists made it clear that if he dared to laugh, he might end up bleeding on the spot.
"There's nothing funny about it. Don't overthink it, Yukino. And besides, nothing has been confirmed yet."
Yukinoshita Haruno raised her hand. "I'll handle confirming the situation with my mother. I'll do it myself. Yukino-chan, I'll leave her to you for now."
After speaking, Haruno waved to Hakuto and slipped away. He did not stop her. Since her identity had been confirmed, she couldn't run far.
Besides, he had left a contingency to ensure nothing happened to her.
After Haruno left, Yukino finally spoke. "Go ahead and laugh if you want. I find it laughable myself."
Hakuto looked at Yukino. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
