The Hikigaya Couple's Youth Romantic Comedy Is Indeed Problematic Chapter 39

Hachiman smiled and replied.

Isn't it all because of you~

What did I do?

The plans you wrote have already been partially implemented, and the initial response looks good.

Haruno said.

So you called just to say this?

No, there are two other things.

Hurry up and say it, Yukino and I have things to do.

Waaah~ Little Yukino hasn't been contacting me lately, you really forget your sister once you have a lover.

Are you going to say it or not! Hachiman roared at his sister-in-law impatiently.

Alright, don't be so impulsive, young man~ The first thing is~ Dad said he wants Yukino to bring you home for dinner this weekend.

How about it? Happy?

No... I'm just a little surprised. I understand. What's the second thing?

As for the second thing~ You were supposed to get a share of the profits, but well, considering that men go bad when they have money, I've put most of it on Yukino's card. I hope you don't mind me leaving you a little pocket money, right? Haruno said with a grin.

I don't mind, it's the same wherever I am.

Hachiman replied.

Then that's it. We'll talk more tomorrow if anything comes up.

What? Are you coming to Sobu High School?

The Cultural Festival is coming up~ As your senior, aren't you welcome to visit?

No, I'm very welcome. It'll be much easier for Yukino and me if you come.

Hachiman said, and then hung up the phone directly.

Huh? Easier how? Miss Haruno looked at the phone she had just hung up, blinking inexplicably.

Sister? Yukino asked Hachiman.

Yeah, she said she's coming to Sobu High School tomorrow. We can slack off then.

Hachiman said indifferently.

Pfft, you really don't treat her like an outsider.

Yukino said with a charming laugh.

What's a sister-in-law considered an outsider?

Hachiman said, glancing at the transfer information on his phone.

Over eight million yen as pocket money? The ugly face of capitalists.

Thinking this, Hachiman didn't expect that from now on, he would also join their ranks.

Yukino also glanced at her phone. My sister is like this... Should I transfer it to you?

No, this is enough for me.

Hachiman waved his hand.

Hearing Hachiman say that, Yukino smiled happily.

What is it? So mysterious.

Yui peeked her head over and saw the number displayed on Hachiman's phone, immediately exclaiming in surprise.

Wow! Hikki, did you rob a bank? That's so much money.

Yui, who had never even touched much of Yukichi's money since she was little, was very surprised.

If you robbed a bank, would you have them transfer the money to your card? Hachiman covered his face, feeling very helpless.

Sorry, sorry~ I just felt like Hikki was so amazing. My family has never had this much savings.

Yui stuck out her tongue.

Yukino was about to say something, but was interrupted by a knock on the door, so she had to give up helplessly.

Please come in.

Yukino said coolly.

Um... Student Council President Meguri Shiromeguri opened the door and walked in. We're going to have a meeting to elect a committee chairman or something. Aren't you coming?

No need, Yukino and I are not interested.

Yukino was about to get up when Hachiman stopped her.

Even so, please come to the meeting. It will be convenient for the Cultural Festival work.

Meguri Shiromeguri said with a gentle smile.

Okay, fine.

Hachiman then took Yukino's hand and followed Meguri Shiromeguri towards the conference room.

Chapter 56: The Scheming Couple

Hachiman was the first to follow Meguri Shiromeguri into the conference room. As soon as he entered, the buzzing of discussion echoed in his ears. Hachiman frowned and found an empty seat to sit down.

The other committee members paid no attention to Hachiman's arrival, as if no one had just entered.

"Oh~ Yuu-chan, you're here too!" Sagami seemed very happy, saying to a girl beside her whom she seemed to know.

"What? Did you lose rock-paper-scissors too?" the girl who was asked replied.

"No~ I was chosen by Teacher Hiratsuka. I was actually startled at the time."

"Because I've never been a committee member before, and I have no idea what to do."

Sagami put on a distressed expression, but a smug smile was already overflowing.

"What a clumsy performance."

Hachiman shook his head.

Just then, Yukino, who followed closely behind, silently entered the conference room.

As the girl stepped in, the entire conference room fell silent. Except when she was with Hachiman and Yui, Yukino would revert to her usual cold demeanor whenever any outsiders were present.

Yukino, like an Ice Queen, walked to Hachiman's side under everyone's gaze and sat down silently.

Seeing that Yukino made no move, the people in the conference room quietly resumed their conversations, gradually returning to their previous clamor.

As time passed, the conference room door opened and closed continuously. Although most people would look up when the door opened, they would quickly shift their gaze and continue their activities once they noticed the newcomer was not someone they knew.

This continued until the meeting's scheduled start time. Shizuka Hiratsuka and Teacher Atsugi, who was in charge of sports, entered with a few students. They stood at the front of the conference room.

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Meguri Shiromeguri and nodded slightly.

As if it were a signal, two students who looked like first-years distributed documents to everyone. After scanning the room and confirming everyone had a document, they quietly returned to their seats.

"Um... I am the Student Council President, Meguri Shiromeguri. I believe this year's Cultural Festival will proceed smoothly with everyone's efforts... um... probably."

The girl, touching her shoulder-length hair tied with a colorful rubber band, smiled gently.

"So, shall we begin the Cultural Festival Executive Committee meeting now?" Meguri Shiromeguri issued a soft command, like an clingy cat.

After President Meguri finished her speech, the student council members applauded, and sparse applause filled the conference room.

"Alright, let me see what the first item is... Ah~~ First is the election of the Executive Committee Chairman."

Meguri Shiromeguri looked at the document in her hand and tapped her chin as she spoke.

"Um... aren't you supposed to be the chairman?" a student below asked in a small voice.

"Ah~ I thought you all knew... " Meguri Shiromeguri said with a wry smile, "Usually, the chairman is a second-year student, and I'm already a third-year."

"After all, third-year students need to prepare for their college entrance exams~" Meguri Shiromeguri explained.

"Is that so? I see."

The student who asked nodded and sat down.

"So~~ who wants to be the chairman?" Meguri Shiromeguri continued to ask.

However, her question was met only with silence. Although this was an excellent opportunity, most people lacked the necessary abilities and didn't want to put in the effort.

"What! You don't even want to contribute to your own festival?" Shizuka Hiratsuka slammed the table in annoyance.

Teacher Atsugi, on the other hand, looked directly at Yukino. "I remember, you're Yukino's sister, right?"

"Ah, that Cultural Festival back then was truly nostalgic."

As if recalling something, Teacher Atsugi continued without regard for Yukino's slightly displeased expression.

"How about it? Are you interested in being the chairman?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't been feeling well lately, so I apologize."

Yukino replied calmly.

"Haruno-nee's sister~ What a shame."

Meguri Shiromeguri seemed to recall the time she spent with Haruno.

"In that case, is there really no one else willing?" The senior student looked at the others with great distress.

"Ah~ I forgot to mention, the chairman can apply for recommendation qualification or something~ So, is there really no one willing?"

"Um... if no one is really willing, how about I give it a try?" Sagami Minami hesitantly raised her hand, her tone filled with strong self-doubt.

"Um... may I ask your name?" Meguri Shiromeguri hesitated, as she had no impression of the red-haired girl in front of her.

"Ah~ I'm Sagami Minami from Class 2-F."

"I want to use this opportunity to train myself~ Although I'm not very good at this kind of thing, I want to try."

Sagami said hesitantly.

"Hmm, that's very good, training yourself and all."

Meguri-senpai said calmly, turning to write Sagami's name on the blackboard.

"Um... Senpai... Sagami's name is written wrong on the board..."

"Ah~ is it? Sorry, I'm not too sure how to spell it..." Meguri Shiromeguri said apologetically.

"It's fine."

Sagami smiled, but her eyes held hostility as she stared at Meguri Shiromeguri's retreating back.

"Alright, first thing's settled. Next, let's assign some tasks."

"What are you doing?" Yukino tilted her head and asked Hachiman.

"Me? Whatever seems easiest,"

Hachiman once again chose the Miscellaneous Records.

"Honestly, I don't know what to say about you."

Yukino shook her head helplessly.

"Heh, these people are even guessing their positions by rock-paper-scissors. I really can't be bothered to say anything."

Hachiman watched the noisy meeting room, and Teacher Hiratsuka's darkening face, and sneered.

"What's next?" Yukino asked.

"Same as before. This time, Haruno and I will help you. There's no need to put yourself through this."

Hachiman said.

"What exactly are you planning to do this time? You've been so mysterious."
