Let's do it again, Yukino.

"I knew Xiaoxue would support me!"

Springtime revealed its bright and cheerful smile.

Yukino rolled her eyes.

"Then come with me to the Service Club. You didn't participate in the previous cultural festivals, so let me explain the details to you..."

"Good Le!"

(P.S.: It's really tough being stuck in writer's block.)

Chapter Forty-Three: Connecting the Dowry

"Hachiman, are you reading a book?"

"Yes, I'll read a book."

Is it interesting?

"It's alright... By the way, why don't you apply to Hiratsuka-sensei to join the Service Club, so you won't have to come over every few days?"

"Bullshit! Don't think that just because you're inviting me like this, I'll agree to your invitation. I'm not going to join your club so easily, hmph!"

"Is this the most hypocritical tsundere from Soubu High School? There's not a trace of cute tsundere style in it..."

In the Service Department, the only two boys were having a friendly exchange, a testament to their camaraderie.

Kasuga, who had some understanding of the program that Hikigaya's class would be performing at the cultural festival, was also asking the three members of the Service Club about the specific details of the cultural festival while chatting.

Hearing Haruhi hurling baseless insults at Hikigaya, Yukinoshita, standing nearby, tilted her head two centimeters and winked at Haruhi.

In the blink of an eye, Chunri stretched out her hand and grabbed Yui Yuigahama's arm. It was already this season, and most of the girls had changed into their slightly more conservative autumn school uniforms.

The girl, though terrified, did not resist, out of respect for Kasuga Gian's imposing presence.

“Tell the head of your Service Department. Listen up, if she dares to lay a hand on me again, I promise I’ll make a huge scene here. No matter what means I have to use, I’ll make sure Hachiman next to you, Yui, has no peace.”

"……Hello!"

Stimulated by Kasuga, Hikigaya could only turn his pleading, dead-fish-eyed gaze to Yuki.

"Enough, you rude and disrespectful Kasuga-san who's striving to become the next student council president. If you continue to ruin the atmosphere in the club like this, please walk out the door with an exceptionally graceful demeanor..."

"This way of kicking out guests, Minister Yukinoshita, what exactly do you take me for?"

"Roadside stones or mud from the sewers?"

Yukino thought about it very carefully before drawing a conclusion.

"Why don't you just tell me to get lost? And besides, Yukinoshita-sama, don't you have any other adjectives to describe me? Like handsome, dashing, or even a gentle male protagonist, right, Yui-kun?"

"Ha ha……"

Tuanzi touched her frizzy hair, stuck out her tongue playfully, and laughed heartily.

"Hey, even if you're a girl, Yui, can you please not laugh in this serious atmosphere?"

Wasn't that the perfect moment to laugh out loud?

"Then how ridiculous am I in your eyes, Yui?! Anyway, I'm counting on you guys for this request! Especially you, Hachiman, as your best friend, you should lend a hand now that your best friend is in trouble."

Yukinoshita nodded, agreeing to Haruhi's request, but then asked, "Since you're asking us for help, shouldn't Haruhi-kun at least show some sincerity?"

"So what do you want?"

"Okay, go downstairs and buy me a box of vegetable and fruit juice as an advance payment for this request. As for Yui-kun and Hachiman-kun, what do you two need this guy to bring back?"

Strawberry milk!

"MAX Coffee!"

"You guys are ruthless!"

Although dissatisfied with the three members of the club's rude attitude towards her, Kasuga, whose savings had recently increased significantly, corrected her previous stinginess. After uttering a harsh remark, she happily left the club.

"Xiaoxue, isn't this a bit too much for Haruhi-kun?"

Watching Chunri rush off, Tuanzi felt a little guilty.

"The original purpose of the Service Department was not to convey the idea that pie will fall from the sky. Even if it is what I once said about teaching people how to fish, at least the tuition should still be settled."

Even close brothers keep clear accounts, don't they?

……

…………

He ran out of the service department.

A little while later, Chunri arrived at the vending machine next to the school cafeteria.

"Milk, coffee, and juice—three completely different flavors. Luckily, I had enough coins on me when I left today, otherwise I really would have had to borrow money from Xiaoxue."

Following the steps, he pressed the buttons for the drinks needed by the three members of the Service Department. With three clattering sounds, three different types of drinks rolled out of the beverage dispenser.

"In that case, we can go back now."

With the drink tucked into his pocket, Kasuga planned to return to the Service Club.

"Eh? Kasuga-senpai!"

He hadn't walked far when a joyful voice came from behind him.

The voice was familiar; at least during the summer vacation, I saw the owner of this voice quite often at the Fengliu Nunnery.

"Iroha-chan?"

Turning his head,

Her flaxen, shoulder-length hair swayed rhythmically with each step she took. Her light, flowing hair contrasted with her chestnut-colored eyes, her cute and delicate face, and her distinctive gesture of clutching the extra cuff of her cardigan.

Who else could it be but Iroha Isshiki?

Whether it was intentional or not, the girl would come to Fengliu Temple every few days during the summer vacation, and specifically ask Chunri to order and serve her food.

Thinking of this, Chunri couldn't help but sigh.

Could this child really like me? Could it be that my charm has actually increased to a level that can attract any girl after being reborn?

The day of Haruhi's confession to Aizawa-kun has come to light, and she has also begun to experience the three great illusions of life that Hachiman Hikigaya often talks about.

"Don't worry, she came alone. Besides, if her classmates saw her with her senior, I would be very troubled too."

The girl chuckled and then focused her gaze on the pile of drinks in Chunri's arms.

"Are you here to buy drinks too, senpai? And so many? Are you buying them for a friend? But I heard that Kasuga-senpai doesn't have any friends, right?"

"..."

Spring frowned.

What's wrong with this kid who has a crush on me? He spoke to me in such an annoying tone the moment we met.

Although Haruhi had gotten used to the girl's attitude, she didn't feel annoyed at all.

"By the way, I was just thinking, given your current reputation, you should be quite familiar with Hayato, who's in the same grade, right?"

"I feel like you subtly made a dig at me just now, but... well, my relationship with Hayato is alright, so-so, we're friends, what's up?"

"That's wonderful." Isshiki smiled with relief, patted his chest, and looked up at Haruhi. "Um, could you help me connect with Hayato-senpai?"

It turns out that my crush was just my imagination.

Kasuga is like, "orz," as expected, Aizawa's confession was a beautiful misunderstanding from the very beginning.

Girls who like Hayato could line up from the first floor to the second floor. Even Yumiko had a crush on Hayama, so it's not too surprising that Isshiki likes Hayato.

Wait, I remember in my past life, wasn't Isshiki in love with Hachiman?

Or was it before I liked Da Zhangwei?

Is Hayato Isshiki's first love?

First love is, after all, the most sacred and meaningful love, and Haruhi was too embarrassed to reject this junior student to her face.

"Um, Isshiki, you like Hayato?"

"He's handsome, a popular guy who rivals the seniors in the senior class at Soubu High School, and an ace member of the soccer club. He's also very popular. He's practically the perfect high school boyfriend. Why can't people like him?"

"You really dare to say that..."

Although Isshiki's words seemed logically sound, for some reason, Kasuga felt something was off.

As for what was strange, he couldn't quite figure it out for the moment.

lol, I'm definitely way behind Xiaoxue and Da Laoshi in terms of intelligence...

light snow.

Ok?

If I had met you earlier, or even when I was little, would our future have been different?

The future?

If what you just said is true, Kasuga-kun, then what will our future be like?

Wouldn't that kind of future be the best future?
