That's a choice that really fits Hikki's style.

Yui yawned and continued speaking.

"Yui, are you sleepy?" Yukino asked when she noticed.

"Aren't you guys sleepy? You got back so late last night."

Wiping away tears, Yui looked tired.

Hachiman stood up, took a can of coffee from the cabinet, and handed it to Yui, signaling the yawning girl to perk up.

"Well, it's okay, I guess."

A faint weariness also showed on Yukino's face.

"It's just, I really didn't expect Saki to work that hard."

Yui, experiencing the difficulty of working late for the first time, said this.

"No, I should say everyone has their own difficulties, right?"

Hachiman's eyes looked at the floor. "Well, let's not talk about that."

"Speaking of which, Yukino."

Hachiman turned his head to look at the girl who had her eyes closed, resting her head on the desk and starting to doze off.

"Hm? What is it?"

Yukino opened her eyes, her navy blue irises like a pool of clear spring water.

"Do you have any plans for the summer vacation?" Hachiman asked gently.

"I don't know. Don't forget, I stayed home for a long time during summer vacation."

Yukino said in the same soft voice.

"Eh~ So, Hikki and Little Snow don't have any plans like that?" Yui exclaimed in surprise. It was summer vacation, after all, a full two months.

"Speaking of plans, have you decided what to do about that child?" Yukino quietly nudged closer to Hachiman and whispered in his ear.

"Which one? Rumi?" Hachiman asked with a frown. "I haven't decided about her yet."

Yukino thought of the girl in her dream who was so similar to herself, and her heart was filled with confusion.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Hachiman hugged the girl in front of him, stroking her head to comfort her.

"Also, Hachiman, I have a feeling my mother might look for you."

Yukino looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with unease.

Yukino's mother's domineering nature had left a deep impression on her, making her worry if Hachiman could pass the test.

"It's alright. I don't think your mother is unreasonable."

Hachiman said softly. "Besides, isn't Haruno there? I think she'll help us too."

"Big sister? Then I'll call her later to ask."

Yukino hesitated.

As Hachiman and Yukino were discussing in low voices, a faint snore came from the side. They turned their heads and realized Yui had fallen asleep without them noticing.

"Haa~" Yukino looked at the sleeping Yui and couldn't help but yawn. "Hachiman, I'm sleepy too."

"Do you want to sleep for a bit? There's still some time."

"Mm." Saying this, Yukino rested her small head on Hachiman, leaning her entire body against him for support. Breathing in the scent emanating from Hachiman, Yukino gradually fell into a peaceful sleep.

"Onii-chan~ Are you really going to stay home all summer vacation?" Komachi, wearing only a T-shirt and blue and white boxer shorts, asked while trimming her toenails and lounging on the bed playing with her phone.

"Mm," Hachiman, lying on the bed, responded half-heartedly.

"Onii-chan, are you even listening!" Komachi, angered, stepped on Hachiman's face and rubbed it fiercely.

His face stepped on, Hachiman remained unhurried. He simply licked the sole of his sister's tender foot, causing Komachi to gasp and retract her jade-like foot.

"Onii-chan, why are you so perverted!" Komachi, embarrassed, lightly kicked Hachiman as if angry.

"If I'm not at home enjoying the air conditioning with my cutest sister, and instead go out, that would be crazy."

Hachiman licked his lips, savoring the lingering sensation.

"Eek~ Onii-chan, I'm happy you say that, but aren't you going on a date with Yukino-neechan?"

Hachiman reached out and took Komachi's freshly trimmed foot in his hand, picked up the nail polish nearby, and inserted a towel between Komachi's toes. He slowly began to paint her nails.

"Are you in charge of what happens between me and Yukino? You worry too much."

Hachiman said irritably.

"Waaah~ I was just concerned, you know. After all, it's only after so many years that Yukino-neechan likes Onii-chan."

Komachi said pitifully after her foot was squeezed.

"Hoo~" Hachiman gently blew on Komachi's nails after finishing painting them.

"Your nail polish isn't very good, is it? Should Yukino and I go shopping tomorrow and get you a better one?" Hachiman asked.

"Hehehe, as long as it's from Onii-chan, it's fine."

Komachi happily hugged Hachiman, rubbing her cheek against his.

"Don't do that, it's too hot," Hachiman said, pushing Komachi away with a look of disgust.

"Waaah~ Does Onii-chan hate Komachi? You used to say you'd marry Komachi, but now that you have Yukino-nee-chan, you've just tossed Komachi aside."

Komachi cried fake tears.

Hachiman's lips twitched. He ignored Komachi, who was being dramatic, and sent a text to Yukino on his phone.

"Are you free tomorrow? I promised to buy Komachi some nail polish."

"Tomorrow? I can just bring it over. I have a lot of makeup I don't use anymore, I'll give it all to Komachi."

"That's not really appropriate, it's your stuff. What do you mean give it to her? I'll pay you for it."

"If you mention money to me again, I'll kick you to death."

"It's settled then. I'll bring it over tomorrow."

Hachiman felt utterly exhausted. Having a rich girlfriend made him feel like a kept man.

"Komachi~ Come here for a sec."

"Eh~ What is it, Onii-chan?"

Komachi happily trotted over.

Hachiman immediately reached out and playfully messed with Komachi's face.

"Waaah~ What are you doing, Onii-chan?"

Ignoring Komachi's cries from behind him, Hachiman let out a refreshing sigh.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Quiet Morning Where Nothing Happened (Revised Edition)

The morning sun was shining, but Komachi, who was sound asleep, was rudely awakened by a rhythmic knocking at the door.

"Ah! Who is it? Disturbing my dreams so early in the morning."

Annoyed, Komachi put on her clothes.

Yawning, Komachi sleepily shuffled to the entrance. "Who is it?" she asked, her voice laced with impatience.

"Oh, good morning, Komachi-imouto," Yukino said apologetically to the clearly half-asleep girl.

"Eeeh~ Yukino-nee-chan is here so early?" Komachi blinked in surprise.

"I didn't have anything to do at home alone," Yukino said, smoothing down her stray hair.

"Hehehe, Onii-chan will be so surprised when he wakes up and sees you," Komachi said, smiling with her cute fangs showing.

"Hm? He's not awake yet?" Yukino tilted her head, her single ponytail swaying with the movement.

"Ever since summer vacation started, Onii-chan sleeps like a log every morning."

Seeing the look of annoyance on Komachi's face, Yukino let out a small giggle.

"Um, can I come in now?"

"Ah~ Yes, yes."

"The door to the Hikigaya house is always open for you~" Komachi joked with a grin.

Hearing Komachi's words, Yukino's face flushed slightly.

As soon as she stepped into the entrance, Yukino saw Komachi slap her forehead and say with annoyance, "Yukino-nee-chan, I forgot we don't have slippers for guests. Should I go buy some for you now?"

"No, don't trouble yourself. This is fine," Yukino replied. She then took off her sandals, her bare, white feet stepping directly onto the hard oak floor.

"Where is Hachiman's room?" Yukino asked Komachi.

Following the direction Komachi pointed, she turned back halfway as if remembering something.

She handed the makeup bag she was carrying to Komachi. "This is my makeup. I don't use it much, so it's a waste to keep it. I'll give it all to you."

"Eh? So much? I can't possibly accept this."

Komachi waved her hands, refusing to take it.

"It's fine, just take it. At worst, Hachiman can compensate me," Yukino said with a gentle smile.

"Waaah~ Thank you, Yukino-nee-chan~" Komachi happily spun around with the makeup bag.

"Eh~ Have you eaten yet, Yukino-neechan? I'm making breakfast now."

Komachi put down the things she was carrying and picked up an apron, tying it around her waist.

"I haven't eaten either, so I'll trouble you. But don't make too much for me, I'm not very hungry in the morning."

Yukino said this, even though she had already eaten breakfast at her own home.

"Then you go find Onii-chan, I'm going to make breakfast."

Yukino quietly walked towards Hachiman's room. Because she wasn't wearing shoes, only the faintest sound could be heard on the floor. She stealthily opened Hachiman's door as if she were a thief.

"Ah~ What have these two been doing? It's been an hour already."

Komachi waited in the dining room after making breakfast, feeling bored.

Just as Komachi was about to lose patience and rush into the room, Hachiman walked out holding Yukino, a look of joy on his face.

"Onii-chan, you're too slow, breakfast will get cold."

"Ah~ Sorry, sorry. Yukino didn't have the heart to wake me up, so I slept until now."

"Then let's eat quickly."

Komachi urged them on.

"Um... Hachiman, I want to wash my feet first."

Yukino buried her face in Hachiman's embrace and said shyly.

"Then go ahead. It's the last room on the left in the hallway."

"Huh? Wash feet?" Komachi stared blankly at Yukino, who had already hurried away.
