"Mm, this is bad. I'd better lie low for a while. Saradaba~"
"Isn't that just an all-you-can-eat salad bar?..."
After a thoroughly witless exchange, we hurriedly fled the photo booth area.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of Zaimokuza surrounded by store clerks.
Totsuka was right. Worrying and agonizing over things wasn't Hachiman Hikigaya's style.
My way of doing things was "give up whenever trouble arises," so I could just pretend nothing had happened.
Only changing one's attitude when something happened was dishonest. That wouldn't do.
Before getting on my bicycle, I gently slipped the photo sticker into my wallet. I should add a frame and preserve it when I got home.
Volume 3: Regarding Yukino Yukinoshita
I wonder whether Brother's high school life is going well?
Komachi will do a little investigating...
Komachi Hikigaya
Brother, are you enjoying school?
Hachiman Hikigaya
Huh? Why are you suddenly asking that... Ah! O-of course I am! I-I'm definitely not being bullied or anything!
Komachi Hikigaya
Mmm~~~ This isn't the same as when mother asks, "...Are you enjoying school?" so you can relax, brother.
Hachiman Hikigaya
Komachi, you asked it the wrong way just now.
Komachi Hikigaya
No, it's just that I was thinking, with Yukino-ane and Yui-sister in your club, it should be pretty fun. I wonder what you and Yukino-ane talk about? How does it feel? Do you get along well?
Hachiman Hikigaya
I-I'm definitely not being bullied or anything!
Komachi Hikigaya
Oh, I think Komachi gets it now.
So, what do you think of Yukino-ane?
Hachiman Hikigaya
Let's see... If I had to compare her to something, she's probably like a high-end computer with a great design and powerful functions, but no mouse or keyboard.
Komachi Hikigaya
Mm, mm?
But Komachi hardly ever uses computers...
