Chapter 53 - 52: The Background Character Heroine, Yuki
Meanwhile, Yuki received her elder sister’s request for her to go on a date with Roland that afternoon... ahem! I mean, to go shopping alone with him.
For reasons she couldn’t quite understand, Yuki, who never bothered to dress up for anyone, found herself agonizing in front of the mirror for an unusually long time, meticulously attending to details Roland would never notice.
Once she was finally satisfied, Yuki changed into a striking black romper and waited eagerly for the appointed time.
Pah! I mean, the shopping time.
But after waiting for what felt like an eternity, Yuki received disappointing news: her mother would be joining her and Roland on the outing!
The news left Yuki with a strange, bitter feeling. She immediately sent an indignant message to her elder sister:
Yuki: Sis, didn’t you say Roland and I would be going out alone? Why is Mother coming too?
Haruno replied: So what if she is? Mother’s been bedridden for ages. She needs to get out and stretch her legs.
Yuki: But didn’t you tell us not to disturb her rest?
Haruno: Well~, plans change, you know.
Yuki: Then what am I supposed to do? This isn’t what we agreed on!
