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

She looked at Hachiman with great vigilance, as if she was beyond saving, waiting to die, and taking her leave, which made Hachiman grit his teeth.

With a splitting headache, Hachiman knew that coming to see this whole family would not be an easy task.

If Yukino doesn't help him come up with a solution, then Hachiman will have to figure it out himself, all by himself.

Sighing in frustration, he thought that what he did would make Yukino happy, but he never expected to get himself into such a mess.

Don't sigh. Can't you ask someone else? Teacher Jing and my sister are both very playful people. They must know what kind of games the family can play with dried leaves.

Unable to bear seeing Hachiman's distress, Yukino, feeling sorry for her beloved, found a way out for him.

If all else fails, you can ask Isshiki; that guy will definitely know.

To prevent Yang Naihei and Pingjia Jing from having any issues with them.

Yukino even took pity on Hachiman and offered to call Isshiki.

After careful consideration, Hachiman decided it would be better to call Haruno and the others first.

Who knows if Yukino was just being polite? If Hachiman actually called Isshiki, the happy celebration of Yui's recovery might turn into Yukino's jealousy before it even begins.

Adhering to the idea of ​​being an honest person, Hachiman decided to back down for now and not ask Isshiki, who was the most suitable person for the position.

Instead, she chose to call Yang Nai first.

As for Shizuka Taira no one was even in Hachiman's considerations. After all, he didn't think a teacher who spent a lot of time at school every day and had to deal with all sorts of student matters after school could have much time to wander around Miyazaki.

Chapter 686 Proposal

Your sister and the others seem to be... doing something else.

After hanging up the phone, Hachiman turned to Yukino and said this.

It wasn't that Hachiman learned anything from Haruno; he simply made some deductions based on Haruno not answering the phone.

You know, normally Haruno is like a professional customer service representative. She answers Hachiman's call almost as soon as he calls, as if she's always by his side.

As a result, neither Haruno nor Hiratsuka Shizuka answered the phone today.

Who knows if these two women, who are already well into the auntie and old auntie age range, are just lounging at home, gazing at each other with spring-like eyes, conveying their feelings.

Hachiman couldn't help but shudder. He hoped he hadn't bothered those two guys, otherwise he didn't know what kind of trouble he would have been in.

It's normal to let loose a little on weekends, after all, neither my sister nor Ms. Heike Shizuka are saints, and they inevitably do all sorts of things because of their feelings.

I didn't find anything strange about it; on the contrary, Yukino was very considerate of Haruno's feelings.

Yukino is overjoyed that her older sister has finally found someone she likes, and she's too busy offering her blessings to have any other thoughts.

"You really have a very open mind... I still can't figure out what's going on between Yono and Hiraie Shizuka, and I can't figure out if these two are in a teacher-student relationship or some other weird feeling!" Hachiman couldn't help but complain.

Hmph, I've come to terms with a lot of things now, otherwise you would have driven me crazy sooner or later.

With a haughty hum, Yukino's textbook-perfect expression was rather endearing to Hachiman.

However, Hachiman didn't respond. He knew that if he tried to talk to Yukino now, she would start chattering away like a machine gun, trying to make Hachiman feel a little guilty.

Hachiman had no idea what Yukino was thinking; he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to try.

What to do now? Should we go online and see what others are saying? Pretending to ignore someone's appearance, Hachiman isn't forgetful, he just wants Yukino to think that he's not constantly thinking about someone, as if he can't wait to talk to someone. Isn't there Isshiki? Let's ask her first. If she doesn't know, then forget it. Tomorrow we'll buy some things to celebrate at home.

Yukino glanced sideways at Hachiman beside her; she hadn't really bothered with him.

Does she really think she can't see what he's thinking? Yukino isn't stupid.

A young girl's thoughts are more delicate than a strand of hair. Not to mention his obvious appearance, even if Hachiman just rolled his eyes slightly, Yukino would know what he was planning to do.

It's just that I care about them, or rather, I like to spoil them.

There's no doubt that he cares about himself, but Hachiman's heart can't possibly only have Yukino in it.

Those who once left their mark on his heart, though no longer the same people, had nonetheless brought Hachiman a great deal of inspiration.

It's impossible to forget him. Hachiman is a very strange person, both sentimental and ruthless.

Yukino, who knows him very well, knows that it's better to let Hachiman vent his emotions sooner rather than keep blocking him.

When the last trace of emotion in his heart is exhausted, he will still belong to himself.

Iroha is a smart and good girl, and Yukino actually likes her very much.

However, Yukino has never been good at expressing her emotions, so she can only watch Hachiman carefully in this strange way, bringing that guy an influence that is not very important to her, the second young lady of a wealthy family, but will benefit Isshiki for a lifetime.

I feel like I'm becoming more and more like the empress, although I'm still comparable to IAD, but my mind and vision are incredibly broad.

Of course, she still had to be jealous when the time came, because Yukino found that Hachiman was very susceptible to this kind of thing, probably because of her guilt. Whether in the past or now, he had never been able to give Yukino the best feelings.

Those complex thoughts gradually bent Hachiman, making him extremely cautious.

"There's no need for that..." Yukino sighed, looking at Hachiman's obvious joy, and then turned her head away.

I don't want to hear that guy's voice, at least I don't want to hear the obvious tone of her voice when she talks to Hachiman.

As if she had drunk a bowl of aged vinegar, Yukino felt sour from her throat all the way to her stomach. The sourness made her wrinkle her nose and her beautiful eyes filled with resentment.

She tried to find some pebbles or something like a trolley to kick a few times to vent her frustration, but there was really very little of that kind of trash on the streets of Japan, which made Yukino quite annoyed.

Fortunately, Hachiman valued his life, and after briefly explaining his purpose in making the call and his request, he quickly received an answer.

Silently noting down the plan that Isshiki had provided, which wasn't really a plan, Hachiman covered the microphone of his phone and asked Yukino, "Since we're celebrating Yui's sadness, we can find a nice barbecue restaurant to have a good meal, and then just do whatever we want in the afternoon."

Keenly noticing a word in Hachiman's words, Yui, who was slowly trailing at the end of the group, nervously touched her lower abdomen.

BBQ.

Her fair brows were tightly furrowed. Yui had accumulated quite a layer of fat over the past few months, which was already very difficult to lose. If she ate a round of barbecue on top of that, it would be even worse.

Wouldn't that mean gaining five pounds in one meal? But then she thought about those delicious, well-marinated beef and lamb dishes that looked so appetizing, and Yui decided it was best to keep quiet.

Moreover, the girl even secretly hoped that Yukino, as the head of the family, would agree to the proposal.

Shouting is the same as saying nothing at all.

Somewhat unhappy, Yukino had thought Isshiki might come up with a better plan, but it turned out to be incredibly mundane.

but.

The barbecue restaurant is actually not bad.

For people, the satisfaction they can get from food is no less than that from any other thing.

Moreover, this was merely to celebrate Yui's recovery; there was nothing else complicated about it.

That being the case.

After thinking it over carefully, and realizing that she really didn't have any better suggestions, Yukino could only nod in agreement with this suggestion, which was neither particularly good nor particularly bad.

Chapter 687 Schemes and Guilt

The initial plan has been set. Although it's not very original, considering that we only have one day and can't have too much fun, having some barbecue, chatting, and then the whole family going home happy is a good thing.

Yukino naturally didn't have any major objections to this. If they wanted to really have fun, they would have to discuss it again after the holidays.

It would be a bit inappropriate to delay things for a few more days just to celebrate Yui's recovery.

She's already taken too much leave; if this continues, Yukino will feel terribly guilty.

By the way, should we invite Isshiki too? Since it's a celebration, it would be better to have more people, right? Thinking about it this way, Yukino's feelings for Isshiki are still quite complicated.

I like her a little bit because Isshiki is indeed a very cute girl, but I also have a little bit of wariness towards her.

However, as time went by, Yukino no longer regarded Isshiki as a threat at all, and often she began to consider playing with Isshiki, who was very popular among the boys but was ostracized by many girls.

The sheer terror of the scene, with its various overt and covert acts, provided an extraordinary sense of satisfaction for the onlookers.

But once a winner is decided, the relationship sometimes actually gets better.

However, most of the time it is the winner who takes the initiative to improve the relationship.

Isshiki is a good child, especially now that the threat has been eliminated.

I used to play with her often, and if I ignore her now, it will inevitably make her feel lonely, even if she has a lot of charm.

Yukino knew that feeling and taste best.

Having worried for so long, she was naturally the most capable of putting herself in Isshiki's shoes.

Yukino's sharp tongue but soft heart has always been a defining characteristic. Just look at Yui to see just how soft-hearted Yukino truly is.

But is this really a good thing? She couldn't help but think sadly, she had given Isshiki hope, and then left her in despair.

After all, Yukino could no longer let Isshiki succeed.

That child seems quite capable, but his level is still much lower than Yukino's.

He was completely crushed. He used to have Hachiman to rely on, but when it comes to feelings, it really depends on the two of them.

It's a pity that half of Hachiman's heart has now been taken by Yukino, and the other half has been completely divided up by the other people currently living in the Hikigaya family.

As a junior, Isshiki could only occupy a small corner, pitiful and reserved, which made Hachiman feel a little sorry for her.

However, being a heartless man, Hachiman naturally wouldn't make any overly obvious moves after feeling sorry for Hachiman.

It would be wrong of him to show preferential treatment to one person because of his own feelings.

Her thoughts were somewhat different from Yukino's. Perhaps she simply and naively believed that calling Isshiki was just because they were late. Yukino would never have any unfounded ulterior motives in such matters.

However, Hachiman felt that her behavior might be seen as blatant showing off in Isshiki's eyes.

Girls are always sensitive.

Especially in this slightly strange setting, Isshiki might be thinking about more things than Yukino.

Not wanting Isshiki to feel that Yukino was deliberately showing off to her again, which could cause Isshiki to become withdrawn, Hachiman thought it would be best not to let her come along.

However, Isshiki is not quite suitable, but Yukino and Shizuka are. After all, they are family, and it would be more lively if they got together. I believe Yukino would also be happy to take this opportunity to meet with her sister and have a good chat about things that only sisters and family members can talk about.

Hachiman can indeed have a lot in common with Yukino, but he is not omnipotent and there are some topics he is not good at.

At this point, someone else needs to talk to Yukino for a while.

Yukino is undoubtedly a good choice. She is knowledgeable, sophisticated, and understands Yukino very well. Having her spend a little time chatting with Yukino would likely make Yukino feel very comfortable.

Yōno will likely have a different feeling because of this. After all, she is still a sister-complex girl. Now that her sister is sensible, she will naturally look forward to every meeting.
