The Hikigaya Couple's Youth Romance Story Is Obviously Not Problematic

Didn't do anything, just slept.

Hachiman adjusted Yukino's position so she could rest her head on his shoulder. The two were pressed together with zero distance between them, clearly feeling each other's body heat.

Hachiman gently stroked Yukino's face and softly told her to sleep, saying there was still a whole day tomorrow.

Yukino obediently closed her eyes. However, in the moments between closing her eyes and falling asleep, the girl was acutely aware of something stiffening and pressing against her lower abdomen.

Pretending to be asleep, the girl's face flushed red. Under this unique sensation, she gradually drifted off to sleep.

In the middle of the night, Hachiman, half-awake and half-dreaming, felt his lower body enveloped in a warm, wet, and sticky sensation.

But exhausted from the day, Hachiman fell back into his dreams.

When he woke up again, it was already morning, and Hachiman felt something was wrong.

Because he felt a wet, cold, and sticky sensation in a certain unspeakable area of his body.

No way? Hachiman's heart skipped a beat. Disbelieving, he reached down, but the reality of the situation forced him to lower his head.

Annoyed, Hachiman covered his cheek with his left hand, which was still outside the covers, while his right hand traced along the coldness until he felt the same sensation on Yukino's panties.

What the hell? Is this a joke? Hachiman suddenly felt his entire life turn gray.

Hachiman's right hand trembled as he withdrew it. However, what he saw on his hand was not his own progeny.

What is this? Hachiman looked at the mottled bloodstains on his right hand, doubting his life.

He then lifted the blanket and discovered that the bloodstains extended from Yukino's side, soaking into part of the bedsheet and their clothes.

Huh? Hachiman was stunned for a long time before hesitantly using his clean left hand to gently pat Yukino's cheek.

"Mmm, good morning, Hachiman,"

Woken up, Yukino greeted Hachiman first.

Then she felt something was wrong and glanced down.

Yukino fell silent, covering her cheeks with her hands.

Seeing Yukino on the verge of collapse, Hachiman didn't say much. He simply stepped forward and gently picked her up. A few drops of blood splattered onto the carpet, leaving a trail of crimson marks.

Hachiman casually grabbed a dry towel prepared by the hotel and sat down by the bathtub with Yukino.

He wet the towel with hot water, wrung it out slightly, and began wiping the bloodstains from Yukino's body.

When the wet towel touched Yukino's leg, the bloodstains came away with it, revealing her fair, clean thigh underneath.

However, after only a few wipes, the towel was already saturated with blood.

Hachiman placed the towel back in the water to re-wet it, wrung out the bloody water, and continued to wipe the exposed skin stained with blood.

By the time Hachiman had cleaned all the bloodstains away from the source, the towel was completely soaked in red.

"Can you handle the rest yourself?" Hachiman asked softly.

Seeing Hachiman's hands stained with blood, Yukino bit her lip and then nodded almost imperceptibly.

After washing his hands, Hachiman handed Yukino a new towel and took one himself, wet it, and walked out.

After leaving the bathroom, Hachiman checked himself and found only a small amount of blood on his thigh. He took off his blood-stained underwear, threw it away, wiped his leg clean, and then put on his clothes.

Hachiman then looked at the large bloodstain on the bed with a troubled expression. Deciding not to dwell on it, he sat on the sofa and waited for Yukino to finish cleaning up.

After a while, Yukino opened the door and walked out. Hachiman turned his head when he heard the sound, only to widen his eyes in shock.

Yukino, who had just come out, was only wearing a bra. The bare skin confirmed Hachiman's initial guess from when he was at Yukino's house.

Looking at the vacant-eyed girl before him, Hachiman felt that this heavy period had really affected her.

Therefore, Hachiman didn't say anything to remind her. He simply took her bra and underwear from Yukino's bag and handed them to her, along with the clothes she had changed out of yesterday.

The girl didn't deliberately avoid him and just stood there blankly as she put on her clothes piece by piece.

As soon as Yukino lifted her leg, Hachiman turned away and folded the blood-stained bedsheet, placing it into Yukino's bag.

After checking to make sure nothing was left behind, Hachiman took Yukino's hand and led her outside.

Outside the elevator, they encountered Komachi and Yui, who had also just woken up. Seeing Yukino and Hachiman walking out hand-in-hand, Komachi chuckled mischievously and said, "Onii-chan must be feeling amazing right now, huh~"

Yui also greeted Yukino and Hachiman, "Hello~ How did you sleep last night?"

"It was okay,"

Hachiman replied vaguely.

After getting out of the elevator, Yukino stiffly went to check out.

Yui then leaned closer to Hachiman and whispered, "Why does Little Snow seem a bit off today? Did you bully her?"

"No, it's just that her period came, and you know her condition – she's frail, so she's a bit..."

Yui showed a look of understanding and said regretfully, "So we can't play, huh? It's a shame we finally got a chance to come to the beach."

Hachiman shrugged, indicating he couldn't do anything about it.

Meanwhile, in Hachiman's room, the cleaning staff stared blankly at the bloodstains on the carpet and the blood-stained men's underwear in the trash can.

Upon seeing the several towels dyed red in the bathroom and the mysteriously missing bedsheet from the bed, the cleaning staff finally couldn't hold back.

He took out his phone, snapped a few pictures, and then posted an article on his social media.

"Man May Have Castrated Himself at Hotel Where I Worked Last Night."

An article with such a title spread rapidly across Chiba's internet.

By the time Hachiman and his group returned from the beach in the evening.

Yukino finally reacted. She gently tugged on Hachiman's hand, signaling him to lean closer.

When Hachiman lowered his head, she whispered into his ear, "You are absolutely not allowed to talk about today's events. If you do, I'll kill you."

Hachiman chuckled softly, looking at Yukino, whose face was so flushed it looked like it could bleed. He patted his chest and promised.

After getting out of the car, Hachiman knocked on the window. Yukino looked at him quizzically.

"I've taken care of everything. It's all in your bag, wrapped in the bedsheets. No one will ever know."

Yukino said thank you with a hint of embarrassment.

Then, she hurriedly closed the window and instructed the driver to leave.

After Yukino's car disappeared from sight, Hachiman, standing in place, took Komachi's hand and walked home.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Midterm exams approach without notice.

Hachiman opened the club room door. Yukino and Yui were already seated.

Seeing Hachiman enter, Yukino's face turned red. She probably remembered not only sleeping with him the day before and her subsequent heavy bleeding, but also that this guy had already seen her naked.

"Oh~ Yui's actually reading? That's rare," Hachiman exclaimed in surprise.

"Ugh~ Don't even mention it. Midterm exams are coming up, you know."

Yui slumped onto the desk, rubbing her hair with a troubled expression.

"Speaking of which, they really are coming up soon. It feels like there's only a week left."

Hachiman put down his school bag and tapped the desk with his index finger.

"Eh? Why doesn't Hikki seem worried at all?" Yui asked, confused.

"Don't let his usual idle demeanor fool you. This guy's Japanese literature score is third in the grade," Yukino suddenly chimed in, looking up from her paperback.

"Second is Hayama, and first is this ice queen right in front of you," Hachiman added, picking up where Yukino left off.

"What? So, it turns out I'm the only one worrying about this?" Yui wailed.

"People who get into Sobu High School generally have high academic aptitude. They usually don't stress about grades," Hachiman said casually.

"Eh! Hikki, what do you mean by that? I got in on my own merits!" Yui glared at Hachiman.

"I didn't say you didn't. What's with that look?" Hachiman asked, baffled, looking at the girl who seemed like a dog whose tail had been stepped on.

"Ugh~ I have a bad feeling about this exam. I was planning to review this weekend, but then we went out for two days."

Yui said with a sense of utter defeat.

"Well, you can't blame anyone for that. Didn't you suggest we go out and have fun?" Yukino added, striking a blow without hesitation.

Poof! The pitiable Miss Dango clutched her chest and collapsed.

"Okay, don't be like that."

Yukino patted the back of Yui, who had become a plaster statue.

"At worst, we can study with you."

As Yukino comforted Yui, she also gave Hachiman a meaningful glance.

"Huh? Oh! Right, right, right. At worst, we two will study with you."

Hachiman blinked, but years of unspoken understanding allowed him to instantly grasp Yukino's meaning. He quickly spoke up, joining her in trying to placate Yui.

"Really? Little Snow, Hikki, you're too good to me."

The poor Yui had no idea that these two, apart from the final step, had already completely bared themselves to each other.

"So, what are we doing now?" Hachiman asked Yukino after finishing his sentence.

"Studying," Yukino replied as she took out her earphones.

She tapped away on her phone screen, plugged in her earphones, tested the volume, nodded with satisfaction, and then returned to her book.

Hachiman also took out his Bluetooth earphones from his pocket and continued listening to music.

Yui stared blankly at the two people in front of her, who were acting with uncanny synchronicity.

Didn't they say they were going to study with me? Why are they listening to music now?

"But this is what I usually do when I read. I can't hear any noise at all," Yukino explained.

"Yeah, that's right. Exactly," Hachiman chimed in.

"Besides, when you're studying, it's up to you. Just ask if there's anything you don't understand."

"Hmm, okay ヽ￣д￣;ノ"

Yui casually took out a book from her bag and started flipping through it, but after a short while, a troubled expression appeared on her face.

"Hikki~ What is this?"

"What? Let me see."

Hachiman said as he took the book from Yui's hand.

"Huh? What is this, Newton's Third Law?" Hachiman looked at the physics book in front of him, feeling a headache coming on.

"Um, I've already decided to go into the humanities track. You should ask Yukino about these things."

Yukino rolled her eyes, took the book from the silly dango's hand, and patiently began to explain.

After some time, they, along with Hachiman, started to doubt how this dango had even gotten into Sobu High School. They explained several points repeatedly until their mouths were dry, but she still couldn't grasp them.

Yukino slumped onto the chair in despair, covering her forehead with her hand.

Across from her, Yui was also dejectedly slumped over the table.

"Waaah~ Little Snow, I feel so useless."
