Chapter 3.5: Negotiation
"I really didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to me!" "Yukishita Yono looked at the red-haired boy in front of him with interest, his frowning eyebrows did not change the firm expression on his face, and it also made Yono interested, you know, as far as she knows, not long ago, this guy still looked self-pitying, which also made her regret that she had given the task to this child a little rashly.
Now, however, it seems that the situation has changed again!
"I'm worried that if I don't come to the door, you should take the initiative to come to me. ”
"Oh, then please rest assured that that situation can't exist. Yukishito picked on her beauty with grace, but her words were noticeably tougher, "I don't have time to question someone who can't clean up the mess. ”
"So, Yono-senpai means that he won't pay attention to people who have become defeated dogs, is that true?" Yubihama Kazuya's face became complicated, but he still restrained his emotions well, he knew that he was the relatively weak party in this meeting.
"If you want to, you can understand it that way. ”
"So, do I need to prove to you that I'm not a defeated dog anymore?" sighed, looking at Yono under the snow with squinted eyes and an unfathomable gaze, Yubihama Kazuya poked his temple.
He knew the meeting wasn't going to go well, but it was a bit too bad to start with that situation.
"Well, there's no need to prove it," however, as with almost all previous conversations, Kazuya Yuhihama always seemed unable to snatch the rhythm of the conversation from Yono's hands under the snow, "Because since Kazuya's brother took the initiative to find me, I just wanted to hear how you can make up for the mistakes you made, and whether or not you have adjusted your mood now has nothing to do with me." Of course, if you're trying to solve this problem with a self-defeating attitude, which makes the problem more complex and creates new risks, I think I need to stop it, that's all. ”
"Really, it's a merciless speech!"
"Considering your past, my sister thinks it's better not to be too gentle - too gentle and trusting of you, but it almost caused a big disaster!"
Kazuya has always disliked this kind of penetrating gaze, the reason why he doesn't like Yono under the snow is that he doesn't like her seemingly careless, actually in control of everything's attitude, he doesn't know when the other party is answering seriously, when he just coped with things.
However, this time, he found a loophole in Yono Yukishita, who almost didn't make mistakes.
"If you think about it in this direction, considering the history of my big mistakes, and let me make up for it, don't you think that you are also a person who likes to take risks?"
"Adventurous people, that's an interesting statement. ”
"Of course, I don't think that's necessarily the case. The reason why you are willing to listen to me, someone who has already made a mistake once, is not because Yono-senpai is a challenge-spirit, or because you are a noble person who will give people a chance to mend their ways," Kazuya pursed his lips and smiled, "but because, Yono-senpai has expectations for me. And the reason why the seniors are expecting me is because, for the time being, the seniors can't find a way to get rid of me and solve your sister's predicament, right?"
"Brother Kazuya's good reasoning! Now I'm sure you've come out of your self-pity. ”
"There is no point in changing the subject, if the seniors agree with the correctness of my judgment, then can our status be more equal?"
"Oh, what that Kazuya brother means: Although you caused my lovely sister to fall into tragedy because of your mistakes, not only do you not feel guilty in front of my sister because of this, but you also have the confidence to say that the two of us must cooperate on an equal footing to avoid tragedy, and even not necessarily cooperate on an equal footing, and you need to take the lead in solving the problem, right?"
"Isn't that so?"
"I'll say no!"
"No, you won't refuse. ”
Kazuya looked at Yono Yukishita with a steady and cautious gaze, although until now, he still couldn't judge what Yono's thoughts were, but he had already investigated to the end based on the momentary mistakes revealed by the other party, and if his judgment was wrong, it meant that this negotiation had broken down.
However, if his judgment is correct-
"-Well, my sister is in a good mood today, so if Brother Kazuya really wants to cooperate with me on an equal footing, then tell me what you think?"
Kazuya secretly clenched his fists. He didn't underestimate the importance that Yukishita valued her sister, and similarly, he didn't overestimate Yukishita's versatility, and by combining these two points, he could regain the other party's support for his handling of Yukino's problem. As Yono said, it is ridiculous to want to let yourself take the lead in solving the problem after you have made a big mistake. Still, he did.
It was Yuhihama Kazuya's first victory over Yono Yukishita.
----------------------------------- Dividing Line-------------------------------------
To be fair, Yukishita Yono did not despise Yubihama Kazuya, but it was precisely because she was confused by the overconfident aura of Kazuya at that time that she would basically let the other party solve the problem, and she just mixed in more where she found it interesting. However, it turns out that she didn't overestimate Kazuya's ability, however, she overestimated Kazuya's psychological calmness, which also led to her not being able to find a suitable breakthrough for a while after realizing that her sister was in a trough, which also made her accept Kazuya's proposal to regain her strength relatively easily.
"Although I agreed, but on the other hand, I can't let you do it completely alone this time, but I want to participate in your plan. It is rare for Yono to make such a compromise move, and being forced to say such things also shows that this time she has indeed lost her rhythm.
"No problem, I already expected this, and the seniors will participate in the whole process of this next plan. Looking at Yubihama Kazuya's expression full of surplus, she couldn't help frowning, not because she lost her dominance for the first time in the conversation between the two, but because, in the past, she relaxed her vigilance precisely because she realized this kind of surplus.
If you simply cheer up and don't think about your previous mistakes, the same problem will recur. But let's listen to his plan, right?
"Actually, the current situation under the snow is not much different from what I estimated, and in the previous predictions, she should be as overwhelmed as she is now, if there must be a difference-" Kazuya glanced at Yono embarrassedly, after all, if he said something like "The biggest difference is that Yukino under the snow may like me" in front of the person's sister, then he may not be able to accept this conversation peacefully.
"Ha-" However, as smart as Yonai, she quickly understood what Kazuya meant, and showed a meaningful smile, she said quietly, "Go on!"
"Well," a temporary compromise would be the best outcome, Kazuya nodded and continued, "In the original plan, what I wanted to do was to let Yukishita know the problem of relying too much on others after this betrayal, and the next thing was to create an environment that isolated all other external forces, and let her solve the problem alone. ”
"——Question, how to free Xiao Xue Nai from that confused state, so as to 'solve the problem alone'?"
"Well, if it was before, I think that after doing such an excessive thing, I only need my stimulation to stimulate her fighting spirit, but now I may not be enough alone, so, for the time being, I have considered two objects that are easy to make the fighting spirit under the snow, one is Yang no senior, and the other is Isshiki. ”
"The girl who defeated Yukino-chan to become the president of the student council? It is said that she also has a strange relationship with Kazuya's younger brother?"
"Ahem, there shouldn't be any more now. ”
"So you've convinced me now, but what about Isshiki-san?"
This needs to be combined with her student council work, and it is also an important part of getting seniors involved in this program. Kazuya said confidently, "As far as I know, the Christmas event scheduled by the student council was originally co-organized with another high school, but now, there seems to be some problems with the joint school, and the two sides are a little disagreeable about the leadership of the event, so what if we can change schools?"
"It would be ridiculous if you were to say that it was our school. Let's not talk about changing to a university, it's basically led by us, and the difference between high school and university is not as simple as the difference between the middle school and high school you ran before, and the student union of college students can't look down on your small school. ”
"Of course that's the case, so the role of the seniors' school is just a front, just a bargaining chip to negotiate. Kazuya spread his hands, "Just let the other party believe that the general martial arts are contacting the university, and there is a real possibility of success." And the contact of the seniors, there is only one that is most suitable. ”
"Is it another use of Yukino-chan's relationship with me? It's a bit similar to the big news after the cultural festival - even if my relationship with Yukino-chan isn't that good, but as long as other people believe that I'm a sister to her, it's okay to have a close relationship, right?"
"That's right. ”
"So, there are two questions next," Yono raised an eyebrow and continued, "One is that since this matter doesn't actually need Yukino-chan to play a role at all, in order to achieve the goal, it only needs to create the appearance that 'Yukino-chan is discussing with me', this is just using the superficial relationship between me and her, why did she agree to your plan? Second, as you know, Yukino-chan has always been unconvinced by my sister, how do you convince her to ask me for help on this issue?"
"Very good analysis, senior, these are indeed two big problems, so getting the snow to negotiate with you is not actually the ultimate goal of this plan - the ultimate goal is to get the snow to give up negotiations with you. Kazuya nodded, chuckled, and said, "First of all, we won't tell Yukishita that her role is just a pawn, but we will create an atmosphere where she really wants to cooperate with the senior school, forcing her to accept the task of negotiation driven by a sense of responsibility." Then, as long as her predecessors continue to make things difficult, her distrust of this plan will continue to deepen, which will force her to be dissatisfied with Isshiki's arrangement—or my arrangement that proposed it. The ultimate goal is to get the snow to abandon my plan and come up with his own plan to solve the problem. ”
"So, the ultimate goal is for Yukino-chan to negotiate with another middle school student council?"
"That's pretty much it, the reason for the big detour is to break her superstition about me - although she is disappointed in me now, she probably still thinks that I can't make mistakes, and with this feeling, she won't think about herself, so I need to make mistakes first, be attacked by her, and the next step is to make her think about her own way. In order to prove me wrong, to fight the guy who hurt her in the past, she must work hard under the snow, right?"
"Well, so Brother Kazuya still thinks of himself as a villain, right?"
"That's roughly the case, but aren't the same with my predecessors?"
"Indeed, if everything is as you deduce. Yono nodded, pondering.
"What's wrong in the middle, seniors can improvise, this should be your best ability, right?"
"Do you mean that something went wrong and I have to make it up for you?"
"Ahem, but this time I've already made the plan clear to you, if something goes wrong in the middle, do you need to work together to solve it?" Kazuya smiled a little awkwardly.
However, this reassured Yono.
Although they are still as confident in the construction of the plan, this time, the other party will at least make a risk plan, which is much better than the absolute conceit of their own path before.
So, this time, maybe you can trust him one more time?
"I have to say, this time, your idea convinced me!"
"Is that so?" and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he didn't have the absolute confidence to persuade Yono under the snow, this time, he was not guiding the other party to act according to his own ideas, to be exact, he was not persuading, but only proposing a plan, he didn't emphasize the uniqueness of his plan, and if Yono had other more ideal methods, then his own work would probably be rejected.
Fortunately, though, nothing like this seems to have happened.
"Well, as long as there are no mistakes in the execution of Kazuya's brother, I think this plan is fine. Yono said with a smile.
"Isn't there anything wrong with the execution?"
"Oh, there's a problem—"
"-Huh?"
"Hmm, let me think about it, in fact, the importance of this matter depends on your attitude," Yono's eyes narrowed, and after revealing that unpredictable expression again, she asked in a low voice, "After the whole thing is over, how is Kazuya's younger brother going to face Yukino-chan's feelings?"

This time it probably won't roll over - at least in the plan, it didn't roll over, and the last volume was to be collected well. I feel like I'm more stable this time than tomorrow's PRPR in Okochi
