Ministry Action Records

"Let's take a look around first."

"Let's go there..." Hikigaya looked at Yukinoshita and found that she was standing there looking at something. Hikigaya followed her line of sight and found that it was a claw machine.

"Mr. Pan..." Yukinoshita murmured.

"Let's go and grab the doll."

"Huh?!" Yukinoshita was a little surprised.

"Come on, you want that one." Hikigaya said as he slowly walked towards the claw machine.

"I... I don't know how to use a claw machine..." Yukinoshita said in a low voice. She herself also thought it was... strange that she didn't know how to use a claw machine...

"Don't worry, I can do it. Let me help you." Hikigaya and Yukinoshita had already leaned in front of the claw machine.

"I want this..." Yukinoshita pointed at the puppet Mr. Pan in the claw machine.

"Three chances, let's start." Hikigaya looked at the three game coins in his hand and threw one into the claw machine.

Hikigaya operated the joystick, aimed the clamp at Mr. Pan's position, and pressed the button. Yukinoshita nervously watched the clamp fall.

The result...how should I put it...I clamped it crookedly, but also clamped the doll next to it.

"It's a good start, Yukinoshita..." Hikigaya said to Yukinoshita a little embarrassedly.

"Let's start the second time." Hikigaya threw the second coin into the claw machine and it hit the target! But it fell down...

Looking at the last game coin in his hand, Hikigaya wondered how to increase his success rate.

Yukinoshita saw Hikigaya take out two rings! Her pupils shrank! Then Hikigaya put them on his hands..., Yukinoshita calmed down and looked at the two rings, one gold and one silver, both shaped like snakes, and the snake eyes seemed to be inlaid with red gems. The scarlet snake eyes gave people a feeling of greed.

Hikigaya took out another golden coin, crushed it, and the coin turned into golden light and dissipated into the air.

"We can start now." After doing all this, Hikigaya said.

This time, Mr. Pan was easily pulled out.

"Here, your doll." Hikigaya took out two dolls from below and handed them to Yukinoshita.

"You can take this one. I only need this one." Yukinoshita took Mr. Pan and left the other one for Hikigaya.

"What were you doing just now?" Yukinoshita asked curiously.

"Some small props to increase my luck, and it seems to be successful." Hikigaya took back the Greedy Silver Snake Ring and Greedy Gold Snake Ring on his hands.

"Done. All the game coins are used up. I'm going to go to the supermarket to buy some things. What about you?" Hikigaya asked Yukinoshita.

"Um... let's go together. I don't have anything to do." Yukinoshita thought for a moment and replied.

"Huh? Yukino-chan? It's Yukino-chan." Someone behind was calling Yukinoshita's name.

"Tsk." Hikigaya could tell that the emotion behind Yukinoshita's 'tsk' was a bit complicated. It seemed like a troublesome guy had come.

Hikigaya turned his head and looked behind him, and found a tall, short-haired beauty walking straight towards Yukinoshita, hugging her from behind, resting her head on Yukinoshita's shoulder and rubbing her face.

"What are you doing here, Yukino? You must be on a date! Yukino-chan is old enough to date now, I'm really envious."

Hikigaya looked at the short-haired beauty who was hugging Yukinoshita and found that her face was very similar to Yukinoshita's. They must be sisters, right? But... her figure was really pitiful. Poor Yukinoshita.

"Hey, is this Yukino-chan's boyfriend? He is indeed her boyfriend!"

"No, we're just ordinary friends." Yukinoshita responded coldly.

"Really? Why are you so shy, Xiaoxue...ah?! Friend?!"

The short-haired beauty covered her mouth and took two steps back, with a look of surprise on her face. It seemed that Yukinoshita's words had a great impact on her.

"Yukino...actually...has a friend?!" Originally, I just wanted to come over and tease the cute little sister I met by chance, but I didn't expect that she was actually a friend? ! My sister Yukinoshita Yukino admitted it herself? ! Has a friend? !

"What do you mean...sister..." Yukinoshita glared at her sister with such sharp eyes that Hikigaya beside her could feel the terrifying aura contained in them.

"Of course I'm happy for you, Yukino-chan. A stubborn kid like you finally makes friends. I'm so happy." The elder sister said with a smile.

"I'm Yukinoshita Haruno, Yukino-chan's older sister. Please take good care of Yukino."

"Uh...I'm Hikigaya Hachiman, Yukinoshita's friend and classmate." Hikigaya didn't know what to say, so he just introduced himself.

"Hikigaya Hachiman..." Haruno looked at Hikigaya Hachiman, "I didn't expect Yukino to like boys like you."

"We're not a couple, we're just friends." Hikigaya waved his hands. He really couldn't deal with Yukinoshita's sister.

"Sister, he is just a member of my department, don't think too much about it."

"Yeah." Hikigaya nodded in agreement.

"Oh? Do you two think I'm blind? You two are walking together so closely, each holding a stuffed doll. You just went to the arcade together, right? It looks like a date."

Yukinoshita and Hikigaya have nothing to say. Did they say that they met by chance today and followed someone together? This is weird, right?

"Ah, so I was right, didn't I? Don't deny it, Xueno. And you, if I find out that you bully Xiaoxue, you'll be dead." Yangno looked at the two silent people, indicating that she saw through them.

"Forget it, I won't disturb your date, Yukino. You're still a child. You should go home early." Yangno whispered in her sister's ear.

"It's not like that...sister..." Yukinoshita's rebuttal was so weak.

"Okay, okay, I get it. I won't bother you anymore." Yang Nai waved goodbye to the two of them.

Yang Nai left very quickly. How could she disturb her sister's love affair? Her beloved sister finally came to her senses and wanted to fall in love. However, she also needed to find someone to investigate the man, if he was not a good person... hehe.

"What do you think of my sister?" Yukinoshita asked Hikigaya.

"She's... a woman with ideas." Hikigaya organized his words.

"Any ideas?" Yukinoshita didn't quite understand the wording.

"He seems to be in control of the situation..." Hikigaya expressed his opinion.

"Yes, that's true." Yukinoshita nodded slightly.

"My sister has always been a very outstanding person. I have always admired her very much and have always worked hard to become like her."

"She is indeed a very excellent...ordinary person, but she may not know about you." Hikigaya did not sense any special power from Haruno, and her physical fitness was also at the ordinary level.

"Do you dare to tell your family that you almost died? It will only scare them. Besides, nothing happened to me now, right? Just pretend that nothing happened."

"What about the one who drove the car when school started that day? Can you hide it from him?"

"Walter, the butler my parents hired for me, is an expert and can't really hide it, but he promised me not to tell my family about these things. But I know he has been hunting ghouls for a while. After all, what happened to me...he always felt that he was also responsible."

"It's better to keep it a secret. I don't know whether I should tell my family. Mom and Dad, it's not a big problem for your son to kill a few gods now. Do you think my mom will say that I am wearing a wig because I am so strong now?" Hikigaya laughed at the end.

"What do you mean..." Yukinoshita looked at Hikigaya in confusion.

"You don't know this either... I became stronger but also bald..."

"Well... now I know..."

"Let's go after we finish shopping."

"Ah."

20. VAN in Gokawa's House

"I'm back." Gokawa Shido pushed open the door and said these words as usual.

"Van-san, come in too."

"Ah."

Shidou took Van and the other man to the living room.

"Ah, Onii-chan, welcome home." Kotori, who was sitting on the sofa with a white headband, turned around and greeted Shidou.

"Oh, I'm back, Kotori."

"Shidou, you're finally back." With a crying voice, Tohka threw herself towards Shidou.

"What's wrong, Tohka?" Shidou caught Tohka who was rushing towards him and smiled gently.

"I can't hold on any longer... I'm starving to death..."

"I'm sorry, I'll cook right away. You just sit on the sofa and wait, Tohka. It will be ready soon." Shidou comforted Tohka. He knew how pitiful it was for Tohka to be hungry.

"Welcome back, Shidou-san." A weak voice sounded. It was Yoshino.

"Ah, Yoshino, I'm back, and so is Yoshina." Shidou walked up to Yoshino and touched her head, then raised his hand and greeted the rabbit-shaped puppet Yoshina on Yoshino's left hand.

"By the way, let me introduce to everyone, this is Van-san. He will probably be staying at our house for a while." Shidou walked to Van and introduced him to Kotori and the others.

"Hello, Kotori, Tohka, Yoshino and Yoshina, I'm Van." With a warm smile on his face, Van greeted everyone, giving people the feeling of a kind elder.

"You're very understanding, uncle. You remembered all our names at once." Yoshino nodded shyly and didn't dare to speak to the newcomer Van, while Yoshina talked to Van very familiarly.

"Then please take care of me, Yoshina." Although he didn't know why the little girl in front of him could speak through the doll, of course it is not impossible that the doll itself can speak, after all, the doll lady in Higurashi also has her own soul, but Van would not reject other people's enthusiasm.

"By the way, Van-san, Kotori is my sister, and Tohka and Yoshino are the spirits that live here."

"Oh? Are you also elves? Then we are fellow countrymen."

"Ah?! Is Van-san also an elf?! This is the first time I've seen a male elf." Tohka looked around Van, and Yoshino also looked up curiously.

"And what is a fellow villager? Can it be eaten?" Tohka asked stupidly.

"Fellow countrymen refer to people from the same place. To this world, we all come from other places. It's okay to call us fellow countrymen in a broader sense." Van explained patiently to Tohka.

"Then fellow villagers are friends, right? We are friends, right?" Tohka was very happy. It seemed that she had made a new friend.

"Yeah, we're friends for sure." Van didn't refute Tohka. After all, she was just a kid who wanted to have more friends.

“Friends?” Yoshino whispered.

"Yes, Yoshino, Van will be your friend from now on (mother-in-law...crossed out)." Hearing Yoshino's words, Shidou put his hands on Yoshino's shoulders and encouraged her.

"Please sit down first. I will cook now."

"Do you want me to lend a hand, Shidou?" Van asked Shidou.

"No need, Van, let me entertain you today." Shidao was full of confidence at this moment.

"Okay, then I'll slowly look forward to your cooking, Shidou."

"You'll be satisfied, Van."
