The Hikigaya Couple's Youthful Romance is Definitely Not Wrong - Chapter 3

Thinking that his current life was entirely thanks to those two, Hachiman closed his eyes in pain.

He rubbed his temples, feeling a slight fatigue.

At this moment, Komachi walked behind Hachiman, placing her soft hands near his temples and gently massaging them. "Onii-chan, it's okay. Even if you don't have friends, you still have me, your sister. I'll always be by your side."

Then it's fine. My current life isn't bad. There's no need to uncover anything and just add to my troubles.

Smelling his sister's scent while enjoying the massage, Hachiman decided to leave the past behind.

Because of yesterday's diarrhea, Hachiman's complexion was still poor today.

This made his already solitary aura even more pronounced, pushing people away.

Carrying his school bag towards the Service Club, Hachiman saw a miraculous scene after turning the corner of the stairs.

Two energetic girls were sticking their pert bottoms out at the classroom door, making their already alluring absolute territory even more prominent.

The Sobu High School uniform skirts were not long to begin with, and Yukino and Yui's actions caused their skirts to ride up. A corner of Yukino's white cotton panties could be faintly seen, while only two fair thighs were visible due to Yui's angle.

Confused by the scene before him, Hachiman quickly came to his senses and instinctively patted Yukino's pert backside. "What are you two doing here? Why aren't you going inside?"

"Ah!" The two girls, engrossed in peeking into the room, hadn't noticed him behind them. They shrieked softly in surprise at Hachiman's sudden voice.

Yukino even covered her backside, a strange blush on her face, and glared at Hachiman. "Go in and see for yourself! Why did you scare us like that?"

Unlike her usual cool tone, Yukino's voice at this moment sounded like a young girl who had been taken advantage of by her boyfriend for no reason.

Yui, on the other hand, patted her chest, causing a jiggle that drew the gazes of the two people beside her. "Hikki, you're terrible! You almost scared me to death."

Hachiman looked at the person who had indirectly caused his high school life to remain unchanged, looking at her gentle expression and listening to her voice, which sounded more like a spoiled child than a complaint. He hid the emotions in his heart.

"What are you two looking at?"

"There's someone inside who's really strange. Hikki, you'll know when you see for yourself."

As Yui spoke, she pulled Yukino aside, allowing Hachiman to enter the room directly.

Hachiman glanced at the two who were acting strangely and pushed the slightly ajar door open completely, revealing the scene inside.

Because Sobu High School is a seaside school, a sea breeze always blows in when the windows are open. What Hachiman saw was someone wearing a coat and fingerless gloves in early summer, already covered in sweat.

"Ah, Hachiman, my friend! I never expected us to meet again here. This is truly the result of wondrous fate."

Along with the white-haired fatty's words, a strong chuunibyou aura emanated. Hachiman felt extremely awkward upon hearing this.

"Hachiman's friend? He's really similar to him, just as disgusting."

Yukino, who had followed him in, looked at the two with disgust.

Yukino's blunt words seemed to stab someone, causing the veteran chuunibyou patient to clutch his chest, feigning a look of deep hurt.

"Heh," Hachiman looked at the goofy guy in front of him. "May I ask who you are?"

"Have you forgotten the time we fought side-by-side after such a short period?"

"No, we were just in the same group during gym class. Please don't describe it so dramatically."

"Then, allow me to reintroduce myself to Hachiman, with whom I share a master-servant relationship."

"Who has a master-servant relationship with a chuunibyou like you, you idiot?"

"I am the legendary existence, the General Swordsman, Yoshiteru Zaimokuza, who fought the rebels for several hours before perishing from exhaustion! Is your friend's head not right?" Yukino tilted her head and asked me. Even if I'm alone, I don't want a friend like that.

Also, why does this guy look so cute when he tilts his head?

"So, what business do you have here?" Hachiman forcibly turned his head to avoid getting lost in Yukino's unintentional cuteness.

"According to Teacher Hiratsuka's guidance, this should be the Service Club where my wish can be granted. Hachiman, my friend, lend me your strength, and let us cooperate once more to conquer the world!"

Someone please save me and take this chuunibyou general away, Hachiman thought.

Chapter 5: From this moment on, his and her youth will no longer be separated.

"Genius, so your request is for us to give our opinions on the light novel you wrote?" Yukino asked the white-haired fat otaku standing there, holding a stack of papers titled "[Saint Sword Academy Series: Phantom Void of the Blade's Flash ~Black Oak Arc~]".

"That's right, exactly." Yoshiteru Zaimokuza stared at Hachiman, radiating strong confidence.

"Yukino is talking to you, why are you staring at me?" Hachiman complained powerlessly after feeling a prickle on his back from Zaimokuza's gaze.

"Staring at someone else when they're talking to you is very rude. Has no one taught you that?" Yukino's cool voice chimed in.

Zaimokuza immediately straightened up and turned his head.

Just making eye contact with Yukino seemed to exhaust all his courage. Within a few seconds, cold sweat began to bead on his forehead.

"Well, if it's just a request like this, I accept it." Yukino casually threw the manuscript into Hachiman's hands and turned to Zaimokuza. "Come here at this time tomorrow."

"The three of us will tell you our opinions on this novel."

"Eh, me too?" Yui, who had been playing a minor role until now, looked surprised when Yukino mentioned her.

Hachiman mumbled, looking at the manuscript in his hands, that he was seeing this for the second time was a nightmare.

Yukino, who was not far away, seemed to have heard something, and the Hachiman family's heirloom cowlick on her head twitched as if by magic.

"If there's nothing else, you can go now, classmate," Yukino said, directly turning back to her seat after unceremoniously telling Yoshiteru Zaimokuza to leave. "Hikigaya-kun."

As the club activities had ended, Hachiman was hurrying home, eager to spend time with his adorable sister, when he was stopped by a clear, cool voice.

"Ah, Yukino, what is it?"

Seeing who had called him, Hachiman's dead fish eyes softened for a moment.

"I just heard you say during club that you'd seen this manuscript for the second time, so I wanted to ask about it." Yukino bit her soft, cherry-red lips, as if she had made up her mind. "From what I've learned from Zaimokuza-san, this manuscript was written recently and hasn't been shown to anyone else."

"Does that matter? Maybe you misheard," Hachiman waved his hand dismissively.

"No, it's important, because I've seen this manuscript before too."

As Yukino said this, her entire body relaxed.

"I've seen this manuscript before, in a dream."

"Wh-what? You too?" Hachiman's eyes widened in disbelief.

"So, that means Hikigaya-kun is like me."

"I've been having that dream for a week before the entrance ceremony."

"So, Yukino, you've also dreamed about what happens after our second year, just like me?" Hachiman, who had kept this matter buried deep in his heart, suddenly learned that another person involved was in the same boat. Even Hachiman, who was usually calm even when facing Shizuka Hiratsuka's fists, couldn't suppress his expression at this moment.

"It seems so, Hikigaya-kun. I can't recall some details, but I can never forget that immersive feeling." Yukino let out a soft sigh, her tone carrying a gentleness she herself hadn't noticed.

"Does that include the final... " Before he could finish speaking, the girl standing opposite him covered his mouth. He felt the warm, soft touch on his lips and Yukino's unique, faint fragrance.

Hachiman's mind drifted back to that scene, whether it was a dream or the real future. The girl before him was impossibly beautiful in a white kimono. Her face held a hint of shyness, unlike the aloofness he'd first seen, and her eyes showed a tenderness she'd never displayed to anyone else. The shadow in his memory and the lovely girl before him gradually merged. Hachiman couldn't help but reach out to caress Yukino's cheek.

Unexpectedly, Yukino, like a secluded orchid, neither dodged nor slapped Hachiman's hand away. She simply let him touch her flawless cheek. The moment Hachiman's hand touched Yukino's cheek, it was as if everything in the world stopped. Even the slightly noisy early summer breeze seemed unwilling to disturb the perfect couple, ceasing its gentle caress of the leaves.

After several minutes, Yukino finally came back to her senses from the familiar touch. Instantly, it seemed as if all her blood rushed to her fair face. She took a few steps back and delivered a clean, swift spinning kick to Hachiman, who was still dazed.

The last thing Hachiman saw before losing consciousness was white cotton panties. This is the second time today, Hachiman Hikigaya thought.

"Ugh..." Hachiman rubbed his swollen cheek and opened his eyes. A familiar ceiling. He slowly sat up and picked up the ice pack that had fallen beside the bed when he moved. "This looks like Yukino's bed," Hachiman said, looking at the familiar Mr. Pan dolls on the bed.

"Hiss..." Hachiman gasped as speaking pulled at his wound, and he quickly reapplied the ice pack. How could this girl hit so hard? As he was thinking, Hachiman heard the sound of the door opening. He turned his head and saw Yukino in her pajamas.

"Oh, you're awake. It seems Hikigaya-toad has quite the resilience. I thought you'd be unconscious until tomorrow," Yukino said, pausing for a moment when she saw Hachiman awake before speaking.

"Why did you suddenly kick me!" Hachiman exclaimed, seeing a faint smile on Yukino's face.

"It's not excessive to treat someone who suddenly attacks a girl that way. If it weren't for our classmate relationship, Hikigaya-kun, you'd be spending the rest of your life in prison right now."

"So you kicked me unconscious and brought me to your house? Can I consider this an attempted kidnapping by a pervert?"

"No, this isn't kidnapping. I've already called Komachi to tell her you'll be staying over tonight." Yukino took Hachiman's phone and played with it. "And Komachi-imouto's tone back then was really surprised, as if she woke up one morning to find the Earth had entered the space age."

"A brother who doesn't even have friends suddenly gets a call from a girl saying he's staying over. Anyone would be surprised, right?"

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Hikigaya-kun, the reason I brought you here is to discuss that dream and how we'll interact from now on."

After just finishing my math exam, I was dragged out to eat by a friend. When I got home, I started writing. While I was halfway through, I felt my spirit was getting too sickly sweet from the sugar, so I wanted to chat with my girlfriend. But then I found out about the eight-hour time difference, and someone was still sound asleep in bed. My heart ached.

In short, this story is just to satisfy my girlfriend and my own expectations for the final outcome of Hachiman and Yukino. So, you won't find any of the typical "stomach medicine" stories that are popular among book readers lately. There will only be some overly sweet things, along with some of my and my girlfriend's daily lives. So, you can watch with peace of mind.

Also~ considering I'm still writing during my college entrance exams, any recommendation tickets?

Chapter 6: His and Her Youth, As Always

"What's so great about geniuses?" Hachiman turned to look at the clock with Mr. Pan decorations hanging on the wall. It was already 1:30 AM. "Let's talk about it tomorrow. I want to sleep."

"Sleep? Didn't you just wake up? Get up." Yukino suddenly realized this was her bed, and Hachiman, who had just lain down, was sleeping in her usual spot, even burying his head in the pillow and sniffing the lingering scent of Yukino's hair. Yukino's face instantly flushed red. With lightning speed, she kicked off her slippers and jumped onto the bed. "This is my bed. If you want to sleep, go to the living room. There's a sofa there."
