Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Tanaka Masao and said,
"I think you understand now. If you have any requests, you can tell me, and I will accept them depending on the situation."
Tanaka Masao was prepared, so he stated the request he had thought of before coming.
"As for a request, I do have one. I want to lose weight."
"Lose weight?"
Yukinoshita Yukino murmured, sizing up Tanaka Masao.
"Your request is quite reasonable and aligns well with my philosophy.
Many people fail to lose weight mostly due to a lack of self-control and willpower, making it difficult to persevere.
However, if I, a beautiful girl, supervise you, it will surely stimulate your male pride and help you stick with it."
Towards the end, Yukinoshita Yukino even showed a confident smile.
Looking at that smile, while Tanaka Masao found it beautiful, he still couldn't help but retort,
"Xuezhixia Classmate, do you know what humility is?
Who would so bluntly call herself a beautiful girl?"
"Humility?"
Hearing that word, Yukinoshita Yukino pinched her chin and fell into thought.
After a while, she sighed helplessly, looked out the window, and slowly said,
"You simply don't understand."
As she said this, Tanaka Masao could clearly sense her disappointment.
Yukinoshita Yukino continued,
"I've been very cute since I was young, and almost every boy who approached me developed a liking for me.
My indoor shoes have been hidden around sixty times, fifty of which were by girls, forcing me to take my indoor shoes and recorder home every time.
It's all because I'm too cute and too popular; I feel quite helpless about it."
As if she had finally found someone to confide in, Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Tanaka Masao and asked,
"Don't you think this world is strange? The more outstanding a person is, the more easily they are envied and the harder it is for them to survive. It's truly incredible."
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's question, Tanaka Masao shook his head.
"I cannot agree with your point of view."
Yukinoshita Yukino was somewhat surprised by Tanaka Masao's rebuttal and asked curiously,
"Oh, tell me your thoughts."
Tanaka Masao nodded and said,
"Actually, my indoor shoes have also been hidden by others…
Oh, no, I should say they've been thrown away many times, and a few times they were even scribbled on with watercolors by others.
But I don't feel that I am outstanding; rather, it's because I am not outstanding enough.
If outstanding people find it hard to survive, what about those who are not outstanding?"
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned.
From a young age, she had always been a strong, outstanding person, ostracized by the weak.
Yet she had overlooked that among the weak, there were even weaker beings who would also be bullied and ostracized.
Compared to outstanding people, they found it even harder to survive.
After a few seconds of silence, Yukinoshita Yukino continued,
"No one is perfect. People are weak and ugly, easily ostracizing others out of jealousy.
And they will also punch down at the even weaker, to assert their superiority.
Humans are truly contradictory.
I want to change this world, and in doing so, change people as well."
Looking at Tanaka Masao, Yukinoshita Yukino asked,
"So, what have you decided? To be a weak person who is bullied for life,
or to make yourself outstanding?
Even so outstanding that everyone envies you?"
Tanaka Masao said very seriously,
"I naturally hope to become more outstanding, so I have made up my mind to lose weight."
Hearing an answer that satisfied her, Yukinoshita Yukino showed a faint smile.
"I like your idea of facing your weaknesses and changing them.
I accept your request.
Until you achieve your goal, even if you want to give up, I won't allow it. Prepare yourself."
"That would be for the best."
Tanaka Masao took out his phone and started recording.
"I, Tanaka Masao, have decided to lose weight, supervised by Yukinoshita Yukino Classmate. If I give up halfway, I accept any form of punishment from her."
Watching Tanaka Masao record, Yukinoshita Yukino simply said,
"I hope you can follow through and not just have a three-minute burst of enthusiasm."
Tanaka Masao put away his phone and asked Yukinoshita Yukino with some curiosity,
"Xuezhixia Classmate, you just said that fifty times your indoor shoes were hidden by girls. So, for the rest, were they hidden by boys?"
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Tanaka Masao and said,
"There were boys, and teachers, and even a few times they were hidden by dogs."
As she spoke, she showed a charming smile.
"How about it? Isn't my charm great, even able to attract small animals?"
"Dogs? Why dogs?"
Tanaka Masao pondered, pinching his chin, his eyes involuntarily looking at Yukinoshita Yukino's shoes, and he couldn't help but think...
"Could it be that Yukinoshita Yukino's shoes have a very strong smell that attracts dogs, and a smell that can attract dogs...
It must be that, after all, a dog can't change..."
Noticing Tanaka Masao's gaze, Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous glint, and her tone became somewhat cold.
"Tanaka-kin, are you thinking something very rude?"
Tanaka Masao felt a bone-chilling cold and couldn't help but shiver.
"Yukinoshita Yukino's reputation as the Snow Woman is truly well-deserved."
His eyes darted around, and he stammered,
"N-no…"
Seeing this, Yukinoshita Yukino snorted coldly.
"Hmph, being with Tanaka-kin is truly disgusting.
But since I accepted your request, I'll just have to grit my teeth and bear it.
Who told me I am a person of principle?"
As she spoke, she tossed her long hair, quite proudly.
"Alright, then let's begin."
"Begin? Begin what?"
Tanaka Masao was a bit confused.
Yukinoshita Yukino rolled her eyes, completely speechless.
"Your request, of course, losing weight! Stop with the nonsense, let's start quickly."
"Now?!"
Tanaka Masao exclaimed in surprise.
"Logically, shouldn't there be a plan for something like this, and some kind of ritual when starting?
Why so sudden? At least wait until tomorrow."
Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino scoffed, shaking her head.
"Many people fail precisely because they have such thoughts when doing things.
So-called rituals are just excuses. Once you've made up your mind, you should act immediately.
Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Tanaka Masao had encountered this situation before.
Planning to work at eight, but at 8:01, deciding to play a little longer until 8:10 before starting work.
Following the principle of procrastinating as much as possible, only starting work when absolutely forced.
Tanaka Masao asked, "So what should we do now? Go running on the track?"
Yukinoshita Yukino pondered, pinching her chin, "Running is indeed a good method.
But the track is already occupied by various sports clubs, so we can't use it."
Looking around, Yukinoshita Yukino continued,
"Here will be fine. It's secluded enough, and there's no one on the floor below, so exercising won't disturb anyone."
