What does that have to do with you? Yukino asked Hachiman, puzzled.
... Hachiman choked on his words. It's all your mother's credit.
Your mother lost weight for you, she's so thin it's painful to even rest your head on her.
Are you trying to die?
Yukino angrily hit Hachiman.
Rumi thought for a moment before slowly nodding.
Seeing his daughter agree, Hachiman was satisfied. Since he was hugging Rumi, he couldn't fight back and could only grit his teeth as Yukino beat him.
To the passersby, the three of them looked like a loving couple picking up their child from school. Seeing such a heartwarming scene, they couldn't help but smile.
Chapter 44: The Summer Vacation That Quietly Slipped Away
In the early morning, Hachiman walked down the road yawning, with a similarly tired Rumi beside him.
Yukino, however, who had slept with Hachiman last night and woken up early to prepare lunch for the four of them, seemed energetic.
Aren't you tired? Hachiman asked Yukino, wiping away the tears welling up in his eyes.
Not tired, you're just not adjusted yet.
Yukino said with a smile, covering her mouth.
Maybe, I've almost forgotten how to write after this summer vacation.
Hachiman said with a pout.
That's an exaggeration.
Heh, I haven't touched a pen in a month and a half, I've even forgotten what I was studying before.
Hachiman said with some distress.
Pfft, who told you not to review? You want to get into Tokyo University like this? Yukino said with a teasing smile.
Cough... Hachiman felt a bit awkward.
I'm leaving~ Little Rumi said goodbye faintly.
Yukino and Hachiman nodded.
Rumi tugged on Yukino's hand, signaling her to lean down. Yukino crouched down in confusion.
Unexpectedly, Rumi gently pecked Yukino on the cheek. Yukino's eyes immediately narrowed with joy.
What about me? Hachiman asked jealously.
Hmph! Pervert! Rumi lightly kicked Hachiman's calf and turned to run towards the school.
This child, why is she like this?
Hachiman stared darkly at Rumi's hair, which fluttered as she ran.
Aren't you two together all the time already? Yukino said, a little jealous, as Rumi was always hugging Hachiman when they were together.
Jealous? Hachiman teased.
Who's jealous of you.
Yukino turned her head away, her face flushed.
Alright, Rumi is still young. Do you want me to hold you every day like I do her?
Yukino fell silent.
Hachiman didn't tease Yukino any further, just held her hand and walked side by side.
Men and women in Sobu High School uniforms walked along the street from time to time. Seeing the couple holding hands, they were all surprised.
Especially the male students, who saw Yukino, a high-class beauty, in Hachiman's hands, felt a surge of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
The girls, on the other hand, wondered why they had never seen this handsome guy at school, feeling like he looked unfamiliar.
Regardless of what others thought, the two slowly walked into the gates of Sobu High School and waved goodbye only when they reached the stairs.
Oh my~ How was your summer vacation, Hikki? Miss Dango leaped towards Hachiman like a puppy.
It was okay, but you seem to have forgotten something.
Hachiman stared at the beautiful girl.
Hehehe, I know, I'll go pick up Sabure today.
Hachiman rolled his eyes. The poor Sabure had been forgotten by its owner at the Hikigaya house for over a month, living a life of hardship every day.
Since Yukino was extremely afraid of dogs, Hachiman had to keep it outside the house and take it for walks every morning and evening.
Why do I feel like you did that on purpose? Knowing how afraid Yukino is of dogs, you still left it here.
Hachiman said suspiciously.
Oh, you found out? I just wanted to help Little Snow.
Yui said with a smile.
Well then, I should be thanking you, because of you, she's even more afraid of dogs now.
Hachiman said with annoyance.
Huh? Why? Yui was a bit confused.
That day, I wasn't paying attention, your dog's leash came loose, and Sabure lunged right at Yukino, scaring her quite badly.
Hachiman recounted the events of that day.
How could this happen?
Yui said despairingly, Doesn't that mean Little Snow must hate me to death?
Heh, if I hadn't stopped him then, your Sabure would have ended up in a dog meat hot pot.
Hachiman teased Miss Dango.
Wuwuwu~ Yui let out a series of incomprehensible, cute whimpers, likely imagining her own dachshund being cooked.
Hikki~ Thank you.
Yui said with a bright smile on her face.
Yeah, and you, how was your summer vacation?
Mmm, it was okay, I just feel like I got a bit tanned.
Yui said a little shyly.
Really? I didn't notice, I actually think you've gotten fairer than before.
Oh! Really? Yui was extremely delighted.
Then can you tell if I've gotten fatter? I didn't hold back on my eating during the vacation.
I feel... like there's a bit more flesh on your stomach.
Hachiman carefully examined Yui before saying it thoughtfully.
Ah! You can tell? Yui was a little flustered.
It's hard to tell unless you look closely.
Hachiman comforted her.
No, even so, I need to lose weight.
The girl clenched her fist, making such a resolution.
Then I wish you good luck.
Hachiman said perfunctorily, without any sincerity.
Huh? Hikki, you don't believe me? Yui heard the doubt in Hachiman's voice.
I never said that.
Just as Yui was about to say something else, Miura suddenly called her name.
Ah~ Hikki, I'm sorry, I have to go over there.
Yui said with a hint of apology in her voice.
Hachiman nodded, indicating it was fine, and watched as Yui turned and walked over to Miura, laughing and chatting with the popular crowd.
Shaking his head, Hachiman took his headphones out of his bag and listened to music alone.
He waited like this until Shizuka Hiratsuka walked into the classroom. Hachiman took off his headphones as a sign of respect, but he didn't hear what she was saying.
Recalling his summer vacation experiences, Hachiman's mind wandered.
Shizuka Hiratsuka watched Hachiman staring out the window and smiling inexplicably, and her anger flared. Gritting her teeth, she continued to talk about the precautions for returning from summer vacation.
...And the last point, if you want to continue your studies, you better get your act together.
Am I right, Hachiman-kun?
Shizuka Hiratsuka's tone was filled with anger.
Huh? Hachiman snapped back to attention, looking at Shizuka Hiratsuka blankly.
What did I just say, repeat it.
Shizuka Hiratsuka stared intently at Hachiman.
You just said that those who want to continue their studies should focus sooner.
Hachiman said, prompted by Yui from behind him.
Mm, you can sit down.
Seeing that Hachiman had answered, Shizuka Hiratsuka had no choice but to let him sit down helplessly.
When school ended in the afternoon, Yui eagerly pulled Hachiman towards the Service Club.
Opening the door, they found Yukino had just put down her school bag. Hearing the sound, Yukino turned her head, and before she could speak, Yui pounced on her, nuzzling her.
Waaah~ Little Snow, I missed you so much~ Yui rubbed her face against Yukino's.
Huh! What are you doing! Get up already.
Feeling her chest being pressed by Yui's ample bosom, Yukino's nipples slowly began to harden.
Huh? Little Snow, you smell just like Hikki.
Yui exclaimed after sniffing Yukino for a long time.
Huh? Hachiman and Yukino were stunned.
Are you a dog? Hachiman thought as he looked at Yui hugging Yukino.
Chapter 45: Big News
You two~ are you sleeping together? Yui looked at them mischievously.
Ah... um... no.
Yukino stammered shyly.
Hearing the tone of Yukino's voice, Yui knew she had guessed correctly and grinned wickedly.
Oh ho~ is that so? Yui didn't believe Yukino at all.
Hey, hey~ Little Snow, I have something to ask you.
What?
It's... um... does it hurt? Yui said coyly.
