The Hikigaya Couple's Youth Romance Story Is Definitely Not Right

This... is clearly a wedding ring... It's Little Snow's and Hikki's wedding ring... right?

Mm-hmm~ Yukino and Hachiman nodded simultaneously.

Not long ago, I met with Yukino's father, and we set the wedding date then.

Hachiman explained.

We'll get married on graduation day.

Hachiman added, enjoying the gentle massage from his fiancée.

So... why did you give me one? Yui asked.

This one! I don't know.

Hachiman's fluctuating tone made Yui want to slap him to death.

Ask Yukino, she insisted on having someone make another one.

After speaking, Hachiman closed his eyes, humming a little tune and putting on a relaxed expression.

Yukino impatiently pushed Hachiman aside and pulled Yui's hand, walking away.

Hachiman watched the two of them walk off, whispering to each other, rolled his eyes, and twisted his stiff neck.

With a few crisp cracks, Hachiman stood up feeling refreshed and walked towards the restroom, pulling open the club room door.

Hmm, how should I put this... Yukino thought, unsure where to start.

Ah~ I've got it.

Yukino tapped her hand and leaned down, whispering something into Yui's ear.

As Yukino spoke, Yui's pretty face grew redder and redder. By the end, she couldn't contain her inner shyness and cried out.

Huh? You're saying I drugged Hikki? And shamelessly... did that with him? Yui's face seemed like it could bleed, and a faint mist even appeared above her head.

Hmph, I saw it with my own eyes, would I lie to you? Yukino shot a glance at Yui beside her, still vividly remembering the scene.

At that time, the Modified First Playthrough Yukino, with trembling hands, swiped the room key card and the first thing she saw was an unprecedentedly alluring expression on Yui's face.

Never mind that, it makes me angry just thinking about it.

Yukino pinched Yui's chubby little face.

Are you stupid! Insisting on using such a clumsy method.

Pulling Yui's cheeks back and forth, Yukino said exasperatedly.

Wuwuwu~ What does this have to do with me? I never did any of those things.

Yui's tears streamed down her face from the pain, and she looked at Yukino pitifully with her big eyes.

You still say that, don't I know you? Tell me honestly, do you like Hachiman now?

Yukino pouted and asked knowingly.

I... Yui was about to deny it when Yukino interrupted her.

Don't think about lying, I know exactly what's on your mind. I understand you better than you understand yourself right now.

Yukino pointed at Yui's nose and said.

I'm not an unreasonable person, telling the truth won't get you in trouble.

You're getting a ring too, so what are you worried about?

I... like him.

For the first time, Yui truthfully told Yukino her inner thoughts.

Hearing Yui's answer, Yukino finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Yui was willing to confess her feelings, this would be easy to resolve.

She was only afraid that Yui would be like the Yui in her dream, unable to release her deep love for Hachiman for a long time, and seeing her best friend's wedding date with her beloved approaching day by day, falling into despair and causing all three of them to fall into an extremely awkward situation.

I knew it.

Yukino giggled, pinching Yui's little nose and pulling it back and forth.

You... don't blame me? Yui asked hesitantly.

Why would I blame you? This just proves I have good taste.

Yukino proudly puffed out her little nose.

Mmm...

My Yui is so cute, that pervert is really getting off easy.

No way, you should just give yourself to me, you can't let Hachiman have all the fun.

Yukino said.

But... Little Snow isn't a boy.

Yui stammered.

What does that matter? At worst, we can emigrate later, find a place where same-sex marriage is legal, and we won't have to deal with that dead fish-eyed pervert anymore.

Yukino cupped Yui's face and planted a kiss on her.

When Hachiman returned to the Service Club after using the restroom, he saw his fiancée and his pet kissing.

Yukino noticed Hachiman's twitching eye and looked up, shielding Yui behind her.

"Listen here, Hachiman, you're not allowed to bully Yui anymore. She's my wife!"

"Huh? Then what am I?" Hachiman asked, bewildered.

"You're my concubine."

Yukino said matter-of-factly.

Hachiman stood there, dumbfounded, unable to comprehend what had happened in the time he'd been in the restroom.

Chapter Sixty-Six Ends

"Yo~ Looks like you're busy?" Hachiman, with a pleased expression, patted Hayama's shoulder as he tuned his guitar.

"Heh."

Hayama had no desire to engage with the person in front of him.

"Aww~ Don't be so cold."

Hachiman suppressed a laugh, offering sympathy for Hayama's recent experiences.

Whenever Hayama and Ayaka practiced, Haruno would make time to come to their classroom to join in, no matter how busy she was.

The result was that every time Hayama practiced in the classroom, he felt a constant sense of being watched, and whenever he turned his head, he would see Haruno's half-smile.

Therefore, after a long period of practice that was both painful and enjoyable, Hayama was mentally and physically exhausted.

And now he had to be the band's guitarist. While he was this tired, this scoundrel was happily running over to mock him.

Hayama felt that his self-control was exceptional for not smashing his guitar directly into Hachiman's face.

"What do you want, really?" The good-natured Hayama finally asked.

"Nothing much, just saw you here and wanted to say hello," Hachiman replied casually.

"By the way, after all this time, haven't you managed to talk to Haruno yet?"

"... Hayama fell silent."

"No way, right?" Hachiman asked Hayama, surprised. "It's been almost a month, and she watches you practice for over an hour every day."

"Cough..." Hayama felt a bit awkward. "I don't know why, but she always leaves just before it ends, and she ignores me even when I try to catch up."

"Keep at it, young man. You have a long road ahead of you."

Hachiman patted Hayama's shoulder and walked back to Yukino's side.

Hayama's mouth twitched, and he suddenly felt his entire life turn bleak.

"What did you go over there for again?" Yukino asked, seeing Hayama's suddenly worsened expression, knowing he hadn't done anything good.

"I was just offering some encouragement, so he'd be more determined to pursue your sister."

"Hayama is quite pitiful. He hasn't given up after all these years, but unfortunately, your sister just sees him as a childhood friend."

"In her eyes, he doesn't even count as a childhood sweetheart."

Yukino sighed.

"Now that you put it that way, I suddenly feel Hayama's efforts are a bit wasted," Hachiman said.

"Wasted? What's wasted?" Haruno walked up to Hachiman, her heels clicking.

She glanced at Hayama, who was fiddling with his guitar, and sighed softly.

"I originally just saw him as a younger brother. I don't know why he became interested in me later on."

"But there's no law that says if someone likes me, I have to like them back, right?" Haruno shot Hachiman a look.

"So, don't you worry about me and Hayama. When he's bashed his head bloody, he'll naturally give up."

"Tsk, what a heartless person," Hachiman remarked.

"Ever since you snatched my sister away, I haven't cared about anything else. Romance isn't my thing," the strong woman Haruno said coolly.

"Then why do you tease him all the time? Be careful not to get burned," Hachiman joked with Haruno.

"Heh, I'm the one who does the burning."

Hachiman and Haruno bickered, while Yukino watched them helplessly. They always started arguing whenever they met and seemed to enjoy it.

Meguri Shiromeguri quietly walked over, looking troubled as she watched the two still bickering. She had no choice but to go to Yukino's side and whisper something in her ear.

"Is that so? I understand. You can go back to your work now."

Yukino nodded and said to Meguri Shiromeguri.

"But... this is important. If it's not handled properly, this Cultural Festival might become a laughingstock."

Even the usually gentle Meguri Shiromeguri was anxious, feeling extremely dissatisfied with Sagami Minami, who was more capable of ruining things than accomplishing them.

"It's fine. My sister already made preparations."

Yukino comforted her.

Just as Hachiman had predicted, Sagami Minami's only way to get revenge was to use her position as Executive Committee Chairperson of the Cultural Festival. She planned to disappear immediately after obtaining the list of winners for the Excellence Award and the Regional Award.

This way, people would search for her, increasing her sense of presence. Then, amidst everyone's efforts to find her, she would be "accidentally" found.

She would say something like, "I was just a little nervous and wanted some fresh air, but I ended up losing track of time."

And with reasons like that, she would be joyfully welcomed back by others.

Finally, she would easily complete her original task. With just this small action, she could ensure that she, who had always been ignored, would be noticed. It was the easiest plan imaginable.

The advantage of this was that she could not only easily seize the fruits of the Cultural Festival that Haruno and the others had worked so hard for, but others also couldn't easily blame her.

After all, she was a girl, and it was her first time as an executive for such a grand event. Being a little nervous was understandable, and she hadn't caused any irreparable mistakes. Therefore, there wouldn't be any punishment, at most just a few verbal criticisms.

However, this time, things wouldn't go as Sagami Minami wished, with others going to great lengths to find her.

After Yukino sent Meguri Shiromeguri away, she separated the still-bickering pair and relayed the information Meguri Shiromeguri had just received.

"Heh, I knew it."

Hachiman chuckled.

"Did you leave a copy of everything I asked you to pay attention to?" he asked Haruno.
