The Hikigaya couple's youthful love story is definitely not a problem.

Yukino, in particular, is a being who possesses both a mature soul and a girl's body. Either of these qualities would be an excellent source of comfort. Inhaling the fragrance emanating from Yukino, Hachiman opened his eyes. With no obstruction, Hachiman could easily meet Yukino's gaze.

The girl's eyes opened and closed, but every glance she gave spoke of her love for him.

Unable to hide his feelings from Yukino in this state, Hachiman bluntly told her everything that had happened that day that was worth mentioning, including his awareness of Iroha Isshiki's feelings, his pranks on her, and the scene that Saki happened to witness that was very easy to misunderstand.

Surprisingly, Yukino wasn't angry about Isshiki's actions. She just said helplessly, "Tsk~ You womanizing loli really know how to flatter yourself."

Chapter 639 The Argumentative Person

Hearing Yukino's words, Hachiman couldn't help but open his eyes, staring at Yukino who was so close to him with a strange expression.

Hachiman thought Yukino would be very angry after learning the details, but he never expected Yukino to react in this way.

Yukino's tone didn't sound angry; rather, it sounded like a helpless pout.

It's really hard to understand why, so it's normal for Hachiman to stare at him with a strange look.

Yukino had no idea what he was wondering about. The girl thought it was because she hadn't put on makeup today, so Hachiman was a little uncomfortable looking at her bare face, which was why he was staring at her face so strangely.

Is there a problem? Yukino stared longingly at Hachiman, who was resting his head on her lap. She didn't want Hachiman to see her with any flaws.

This is very problematic.

With a look of distress on his face, Hachiman had already prepared himself to be scolded by Yukino, but the girl didn't even utter a word of reproach, which he found hard to accept.

This is like doing something wrong and being caught by the teacher, but instead of being scolded in the office, the teacher politely offers you delicious food and drinks.

In this situation, no one would likely relax.

I thought you would yell at me and then just silently sulk on the sidelines.

Completely relaxed, Yukino's thighs seemed to possess a unique magic that could wash away Hachiman's fatigue.

If you want me to scold you, that's fine, but I think it's completely unnecessary.

You may be a bit unreliable most of the time, but you're the only thing I'm particularly confident about in the bedroom.

"Besides, I don't think my charm is any less than that guy's, right?" she said with a smile. Although Yukino felt that she was not a traditional woman and didn't have much to attract men, her intertwined souls were Yukino's greatest asset.

Betraying Yukino means that Hachiman needs to undergo a radical transformation, otherwise he absolutely cannot bear life without Yukino.

This is why Yukino trusts this guy so much. There's no other reason. Yukino can understand what kind of thoughts Hachiman has in this matter simply by listening to his tone of voice when he tells the story.

Indeed, no matter what, you are irreplaceable.

Hachiman is never stingy with his praise for Yukino. As long as Yukino is happy, Hachiman will be happy too. In such a situation, it would be the most foolish thing to be stingy with his lover's praise.

Your words are still as sweet as ever. Tell me, what do you want me to do this time? I don't think you'll let your little sister Isshiki off so easily, but I don't want to see her every day.

If you can't come up with a way to make next year's equity situation look better, I'm going to play the villain.

Finally, Yukino managed to straighten Hachiman's slightly messy hair, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

I can't instantly come up with solutions to everything, and the key to this matter isn't even with me. Can you let me think about it slowly? Having had his brain drained by a whole day of studying, Hachiman didn't want to do any mental work at all. He just wanted to lie on Yukino's lap like a corpse.

Okay, whatever you say, anyway, this has nothing to do with me.

Shrugging, Yukino didn't even think that Isshiki would have much of an impact on her.

If Isshiki is just starting to feel like he's reached the point where he can make some progress, then Yukino is already the big brother who can kill anyone.

Yi De and Isshiki were wondering what she was agonizing over. They planned to have her sister send her to a place far away from Hachiman after she graduated from university. That way, no matter how many wicked thoughts she had, they would be completely useless.

Suddenly, I felt a strange sense of satisfaction. In the past few years, Yukino had been tormented by Isshiki, that little devil.

At that time, almost everyone around Hachiman and Yukino understood their feelings for each other, but the two tsundere girls just wouldn't confess their feelings.

It was precisely under these circumstances that Isshiki would often drag Hachiman out to play, and would also occasionally let Yukino see the photos she had deliberately kept at just the right time.

To be honest, if it weren't for Hachiman Isshiki and Yukino, they probably wouldn't have gotten married so quickly.

This is the result, but the process was anything but pleasant; Yukino had been holding back her anger the whole time.

Now we finally have the chance to get our revenge.

As for whether the current Isshiki is the same person as the old Isshiki, Yukino shouldn't worry about that.

Deciding to let Isshiki also experience the bitterness in her heart, Yukino unknowingly transformed into the very thing she hated.

However, when Yukino actually did these things, she suddenly realized that doing them actually felt really good.

Unable to resist humming a song softly, Yukino's mood suddenly improved a lot, and she continued watching TV while holding Hachiman's head in her arms.

Oh, right, there's one more thing I almost forgot.

She slapped her forehead and realized that she couldn't be idle for too long, or she would become useless.

What's wrong? Hachiman opened his eyes again and realized that he probably hadn't had a proper rest since he was going to have dinner later. Even if he was asleep, he would have to be woken up.

Didn't you trick Hu Jia into participating in some tennis tournament before? I thought it wasn't good for the two of us to just keep practicing secretly, so I simply found him a professional tennis coach.

I'll give you his phone number later; you can take charge of this.

Suddenly, she felt a little smug. Yukino thought that Hachiman was incredibly lucky to have her as his lover. Of course, she was also quite happy every day she spent with Hachiman, and helping him with some things in return wasn't so unpleasant.

Furthermore, there is the relationship between the Toke family and Hachiman.

We could be considered friends.

Since he's a friend of Hachiman, it's no problem to lend a hand.

Tennis coach.

"Are there any unprofessional people out there?" Hachiman asked innocently, blinking his eyes.

After being rebuffed like that, Yukino's previously good mood suddenly turned complicated.

Although Hachiman often teases her like this, she can't get used to it, because she feels uncomfortable every time she's teased.

This time was no different. Yukino, her face contorted with rage, gritted her teeth and said fiercely to Hachiman: "Can you stop being like this all the time? If you keep arguing with me like this, I'll bite you when you're about to come out. Let's see if you'll still have the time to nitpick then."

Chapter 640 Chiba the Jealous King

cough.

Hachiman coughed nervously, knowing he had a problem with his mouth, but he couldn't control it, or rather, he couldn't control it well in front of Yukino.

After all, if it were so easy to control, it wouldn't be Hachiman's flaw.

When he's outside, he can try to be more careful, but when he's with Yukino... Hachiman just can't keep his spirits up.

Seeing Hachiman's reaction, Yukino didn't want to say anything more.

Yukino simply disliked being teased by Hachiman. Since he didn't show any indifference but instead turned his head away guiltily, Yukino decided to let him off the hook this time.

That's it. Anyway, I've done my best. You should think about how to repay me first.

Yukino puffed out her chest; she was practically bursting with pride.

After all, Yukino helped Hachiman so much, so it's understandable that she's feeling a bit arrogant.

Rather, by openly asking Hachiman for favors, she might actually make him feel better—"Give me a massage tonight, okay?" Instead of playing any games with Hachiman like "guess what I want," Yukino simply stated her request to him.

There was no reply; Hachiman had no time to talk to Yukino about those things.

He had already seen through Yukino's thoughts. The girl simply wanted him to give her a massage. Helping Saika was just an excuse, and there was no problem in replacing that excuse with something else.

Yukino didn't take it seriously and continued watching TV.

Hachiman then rubbed against Yukino's body again.

His nose was already touching the girl's lower abdomen, and the soft, warm, and fragrant feeling made Hachiman feel very good.

I heard that if you're pregnant, you can hear the baby's heartbeat just by turning over. Yukino felt a little itchy as Hachiman rubbed against her, and while she was laughing happily, she couldn't help but feel a surge of maternal instinct.

Yesterday morning, when she learned that she was not pregnant, Yukino felt both relieved and saddened.

Fortunately, she wasn't pregnant, so she didn't have to worry about those things, but what she did regret was...

She really wants to have another child.

Perhaps it's because she's reached a certain age mentally; Yukino's yearning for a child has reached its peak.

Even Hachiman could sense this longing. After all, any man who was treated like a child by his lover from time to time would probably notice his lover's unusual reaction.

I was wondering what was wrong with you, but it turns out you've just reached a certain age and want to have children.

However... I'm 23 this year? No, I should be 24 this year, so I'm definitely at the age where I should have children.

While teasing Yukino, Yukino is indeed at the age where she should have children, according to her mental age.

If nothing unexpected happens, Hachiman and Yukino would probably have a child by now.

Pshaw, you're only twenty-four, I'm clearly only eighteen this year.

Rolling her eyes, Yukino refused to admit that Hachiman was right.

Having finally gotten the chance to become an eighteen-year-old girl again, how could Yukino possibly admit that she had ever been old?

Ignoring Yukino, Hachiman truly didn't understand. Was age really that important to a girl? It was an unchangeable fact, so how could her birth date be altered by strong desire? However, Hachiman's greatest brilliance was that he never revealed his true thoughts.

She gave a perfunctory "hmm" in response to Yukino's words, since Hachiman's face was basically covered by Yukino's lower abdomen, and she couldn't see what kind of expression Hachiman had at all.

Hmph, my current recorded age is eighteen. Your slander that I'm twenty-four is completely unfounded.

With a pout that clearly showed her displeasure, Yukino's sensitivity to age is something many girls can relate to.

After all, a girl's prime years are only a few years long.

The period from eighteen to twenty-three or twenty-four is probably the peak of a girl's appearance. During this time, as long as you don't look too bad and just be yourself.

While not stunningly beautiful, she wasn't so much so that people would find her repulsive.

If you want to maintain your appearance after that, you'll need to use all sorts of methods and put in a lot of effort.

Besides, you might think I'm a bit fixated on age now, but in twenty or thirty years, you'll probably miss me more than I do now.

I can't help but feel a little melancholy. Twenty or thirty years later, Yukino will be nearly fifty years old. I don't know what she will look like then, but the only thing I can be sure of is that Yukino will definitely not be as beautiful as before.

At most, one might develop a unique charm through long-term experience as a wife and mother, but to expect to have the advantages that age brings is nothing short of a pipe dream.

What's there to miss? Whether I'll even live to see that day is another matter entirely.

Yukino, who always seemed strangely pessimistic when the future was mentioned, didn't quite understand Hachiman's nonchalant attitude.
