Let's do it again, Yukino.

A cool, clear hum reached his ears.

Realizing he had suffered internal injuries, the boy suddenly realized he had been too smug and had lost his mind.

I regret it.

Yes, really.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Their Agreement Under the Rooftop

Totsuka Saika,

The woman that Teacher Da once loved to the core—

Uh, no,

Nowadays, they should be called men.

Inside the classroom, having finally calmed down the furious Chunri, the boy casually found a stool and sat down, looking speechlessly at Xiaoxue who was sitting in front of him with her head down, not saying a word.

"Seriously, can you stop thinking of me as someone like Hachiman who would easily become obsessed with men?"

Thinking about it now, Totsuka's figure was slender, just like a girl's, and her skin was even whiter than a girl's. Coupled with that androgynous face, even if Yukinoshita hadn't lied to him about Totsuka actually being a girl, he probably would have still thought of Totsuka as a girl.

“I’m worried that once you find out Totsuka is a boy, you’ll end up like Hachiman…”

In her memory, Hikigaya almost said to the lovely Totsuka, "Please cook miso soup for me every day," which could be considered a love confession. After careful consideration, Koyuki chose to lie rather than add such a formidable rival to her otherwise smooth-sailing relationship.

"Alright, let's leave it at that. I still need to go back to the Service Club. Remember, you're not allowed to mention this in front of Totsuka again, understand?"

Yukinoshita put away those unnecessary thoughts and looked at Haruhi with a threatening gaze.

"..."

Looking at Xiaoxue, who seemed to have no intention of admitting her mistake, Chunri remained silent for a long time before nodding with some humiliation.

After all, he really couldn't beat Yukinoshita.

However, I've never seen you so generous in glossing over my minor mistakes before.

"Lunch, wait for me at our usual spot on the rooftop."

Pushing open the door, before leaving, the girl seemed to remember something, and touched her exquisite cheek with her fingers.

A gentle breeze blew in through the open window, causing the girl's pleated skirt to sway slightly.

She spoke in a very calm and ordinary tone, without looking at the boy behind her who was bending over, trying to peek under her skirt.

"Today... I... I made some of your favorite dishes."

After leaving behind this hasty sentence, Yukinoshita quickly left with somewhat light steps.

The boy, who had just stood up, touched his nose, and as he remarked that he wouldn't have to worry about lunch today,

However, a hint of doubt arose.

He couldn't help but scratch his head and frown slightly.

By the way, what was I originally planning to do? How did I end up here?

The boy seemed to have forgotten something very important.

……

…………

noon,

The rooftop of Zongwu High School.

It's no longer the continuous rain of the past few days.

The sunlight, though bright, also carried a gentle warmth.

Two figures were sitting cross-legged in the shadows in the corner of the rooftop.

A clean blue cloth was placed beneath them, and their lunchboxes were laid out in front of them.

The lunch Xiaoxue prepared was for two people, and as she always kept to herself, her cooking style resembled that of when they lived together in her previous life. At first glance, the bento box didn't look too lavish.

That being said, the colors of the dishes in the bento box whetted Chunri's appetite. Just like Xiaoxue had told him before, he never refused any of the girly bento foods like cherry tomatoes, sausage and squid rolls, or egg rolls.

Because as long as it's made by Xiaoxue, Chunri is never too picky.

As for whether it was lavish or not, Chunri didn't care at all. He had been used to that kind of life since he was a child. Even when he lived with Xiaoxue in his previous life, they could eat very simple and dry bento boxes like seaweed rice and plum rice with relish. The key point was that both of them preferred light flavors, so after eating them for several days in a row, they did not notice anything wrong.

"Eat a little slower, I'm not going to take it from you."

Yukinoshita looked at Haruhi, who was wolfing down his food, with a slight headache. She poured herself a glass of juice that she had squeezed at home that morning, and while chewing on her own rice ball, she handed him the glass full of her drink.

"Cough...cough...didn't you just tell me to go to the tennis court later to help Totsuka Saika with her training? If I don't hurry up, what if people find out about our relationship because you're late?"

"So what if they find out? I'll just tell them I was forced by you, that'll be fine."

Under the blue sky and amidst the snow, he said it very casually.

"cough……"

The juice that had just choked in my throat almost sprayed out of my nose again because of Xiaoxue's words.

“Just kidding, I’ll only tell them that you drugged me and then took a lot of indecent photos of me.”

"I still forced him to do this!!!"

Xiaoxue seems to be in a really good mood today.

This is evident from the fact that Haruhi didn't find any seaweed that she had mischievously kneaded into the shape of a cockroach in her own food.

The girl's slightly aloof smile made the boy feel as if he were basking in a spring breeze.

"Are you planning to look for another part-time job after school today?"

She started talking about Kasuga, and she was more interested in this idiot's part-time job than Totsuka's request.

However, to her surprise, Chunri, who was having some trouble finding a job yesterday, was unusually enthusiastic when the topic of work came up today.

He patted his chest, quite pleased with himself.

"Don't worry about that. I found out yesterday that a Chinese restaurant seems to be hiring, and your teacher, Xueye, is somewhat acquainted with the owner. She said she's already contacted them for me, and I should have an interview today. If nothing unexpected happens, I should have an 80% chance of getting hired."

This was probably the only reward he received for spending most of the night with Professor Yukino.

Xiaoxue put down the rice ball in her hand, looked at the boy who seemed to have made up his mind, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "You've made up your mind? If you want to write light novels like Zaimokuza, I won't stop you."

"No need. As you know, my talent is at best mediocre, but not exceptional either. As for being a light novel writer, I'll just treat it as a hobby to pass the time occasionally. Although I won't give it up, I will definitely not let it interfere with our future life."

"Are you really not regretting it?"

She asked again softly.

"Haha, isn't my story with Xiaoxue the most beautiful light novel? Why would I write another light novel and spoil the mood?"

"……Hate."

The boy calmly continued eating his bento box, and the moment he lowered his head, it felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart.

As expected...

He had considered making money by plagiarizing a few popular novels from his previous life, but just as he was about to tell Xiaoxue about this brilliant idea, the girl gave him a severe scolding and even pointed her finger at his face, criticizing him for having some problems with his values.

He thought, "Isn't this a huge injustice to me...?"

On the pergola beside the campus courtyard, a wisteria quietly bloomed. This year, the wisteria bloomed much earlier than in previous years. The bright purple color seemed to radiate light in the abundant water. Crystal-clear water droplets rolled down the canvas continuously, making it look exceptionally beautiful and moving.

As the petals quietly bloom,

Lunchtime,

Leisurely,

Faintly, one could hear the boy and girl having a particularly warm and intimate conversation under the blue sky.

"When you go for the interview, remember to pay attention to proper etiquette when speaking to the store manager, and be sure to wear the glasses they gave you."

"Also, if you find a part-time job, you need to get along well with your colleagues and not throw tantrums. It's not home, they won't let you do whatever you want. And as a newcomer, if you don't understand something, you should ask your seniors. Do you remember all of this?"

"Okay, okay, and please don't talk to me like a mother coaxing a child, Xiaoxue."

"In my mind, Chunri's mental age has always been that of a child."

"……whispering sound."

Faintly, one could hear the boy's disdainful clicking of his tongue and the girl's soft laughter.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Who Agrees, Who Disagrees?

General Military High,

tennis court.

Several members of the Service Department were practicing on the tennis court they had borrowed from Xuexia.

Of course, it seems that the Minister Yukinoshita still hasn't appeared before Hikigaya and Yuihama due to some personal reasons.

While playing with the tennis ball in his hand, Hachiman Hikigaya's usually lifeless eyes suddenly became bright and he stared intently at Ayaka, who was sweating profusely on the playground.

"Xiao Qi, do you know where Xiao Xue went?"

A graceful figure blocked the spring sunlight. Yuihama stood with her hands on her hips, a hint of a smile in her watery eyes as she looked at Hachiman.

After doing many push-ups with Ayaka, the energetic brown-haired girl's fair skin turned red from her heavy breathing, and the heaving of her chest made her quite attractive to the boys around her.

However, Hikigaya, who had only recently joined the Service Club, chose to ignore this sight, and his voice sounded particularly lifeless at that moment.
