The Hikigaya Couple's Youth Romantic Comedy Is Definitely Not Wrong

Here is the menu, please take a look.

After handing two menus to Hachiman and Yukino, he took out a pen and notebook and stood quietly to the side.

What would you like to eat? Yukino said, looking at the menu.

Hmm~ I don't mind, I'll eat whatever Little Snow eats.

Yui said with a giggle.

Hmm~ Komachi doesn't mind either.

I want ice cream.

Little Rumi said faintly.

Do you want to eat the seafood hot pot? Hachiman asked, looking at the menu with some interest.

No, I'll have the steak.

Yukino wasn't very fond of seafood. After closing her menu, she exchanged opinions with Hachiman.

For appetizers, we'll have Italian crab meat fettuccine and puff pastry-wrapped lamb haggis. Then, a seafood hot pot and a steak. For dessert, one ice cream, one panna cotta, and three puddings.

Yukino finished speaking and looked at the waiter.

No alcohol?

No.

And how would you like your steak cooked?

Medium.

Okay, please wait a moment, we'll serve your dishes shortly.

Putting away the pen in his hand, the waiter walked to the back.

Soon, the waiter first brought Hachiman and the others glasses of water, signaled them to wait a moment, and then brought out the appetizers one by one.

Hmm, this feels good.

Hachiman said, looking at the dishes in front of him.

Most restaurants nowadays remove the sheep's stomach before serving, otherwise, it would be unappetizing to look at.

Yukino showed no interest in the sheep offal in front of Hachiman.

But I think it tastes pretty good.

Hachiman put the sheep offal mixed with mashed potatoes into his mouth and chewed it carefully.

He couldn't taste any offal flavor at all. Instead, it felt like very chewy meat, mixed with spicy seasonings and a hint of sweetness from the starch hydrolysis. Hachiman nodded with satisfaction.

I'm glad you like it.

Yukino ate the noodles mixed with crab meat and was very satisfied with the restaurant.

This place is indeed good. There are no cartilage fragments in the crab meat.

Hmm~ Yui, who was only focused on eating, had no idea what the person next to her was talking about.

I always feel like Little Snow talks so sophisticatedly.

Little Rumi ate the food in front of her with dissatisfaction, muttering, "Why isn't the ice cream here yet?"

Desserts are served last.

Yukino gently coaxed the little one.

Tch~ Little Rumi pouted impatiently.

May I serve the main courses? The waiter, who had been standing by, saw that Hachiman and the others had almost finished their appetizers and stepped forward to ask.

Yes, you may.

So, the waiter cleared the plates from the table and brought out the main courses.

Enjoy your meal.

The waiter smiled politely and then went to Komachi's side to refill her water.

And so, from the main courses to the desserts, Hachiman and the others enjoyed extremely attentive service. Whether it was when their water ran out, or when Komachi found her dish bland and asked for seasoning, the waiter always appeared at the opportune moment, neither bothering the group nor causing any excessive waiting.

Even Yukino, who had been accustomed to being served since childhood, was very satisfied with him. As he cleared the last of the tableware, he noticed a twenty-pound note pressed under Yukino's plate.

How much did this meal cost? Hachiman asked Yukino as they left the restaurant, who had paid.

Over three hundred, not too expensive.

It's not too expensive. For this kind of service, it's worth that much.

This isn't expensive? Dango calculated in her heart and realized that this meal had cost almost a whole Yukichi, making it impossible for her to understand these two rich people.

Do you still care about this little money? Didn't you sign a contract to sell yourself to Yukino? Hachiman teased Dango.

What do you mean, a contract to sell myself! Yui said indignantly.

Even if it's not a contract to sell yourself, it's pretty much the same.

The girl who had signed a contract with Yukino shut her mouth guiltily, her face flushed red with embarrassment, and stared at Hachiman with clear dissatisfaction.

"Alright, stop bullying her. She wasn't that smart to begin with, and it won't be good if you make her even dumber by upsetting her," Yukino said.

Yukino and Hachiman ganged up on Yui, teasing her until she almost cried.

Huffing, Yui walked ahead, deciding in her heart that she would keep her distance from these two schemers from now on.

"See? Didn't I say not to bully her?" Yukino expertly shifted the blame.

"Who exactly was bullying her? Hachiman had no way to deal with Yukino. He couldn't beat her, and he couldn't bear to scold her. Seeing Yukino's increasingly girlish and childish behavior, he could only resentfully take the blame."

"Hikki~ Little Snow~ Come look at this quickly!"

The energetic Yui turned back and called out to the others, causing passersby to turn and look at the vibrant, young beauty from a foreign land.

Although the passersby were looking at her with smiles, the shy girl lowered her head, embarrassed, and stared intently at her own chest.

"What is it?" Hachiman asked, looking at the girl who got angry quickly and calmed down even faster.

"Look at this mirror, it's so fun~" Yui stared at the funhouse mirror with great interest.

"Fun? I don't feel like it's fun at all," Hachiman said, bewildered.

"Heeheehee~ Hikki, look inside, don't I look really thin~"

"Heh heh..." Hachiman couldn't keep up with Yui's excitement and just smiled indifferently.

"Alright, let's go. Staring at it won't make you any thinner," Hachiman teased her, looking at Yui.

"Hikki~ You'll lose me if you say that!" Yui said seriously.

"Don't believe me, I'm serious!"

"Mhm, serious."

While feigning agreement, Hachiman stepped forward and took Yui's hand. Her soft little hand didn't struggle at all, obediently resting in the young man's palm.

Hachiman walked through the streets of Edinburgh, holding one hand in each of his.

Chapter 72: Edinburgh Travelogue 5

Hachiman collapsed on the bed, gasping for breath, his forehead covered in sweat.

At this moment, he could no longer feel his limbs.

"Brother, you're so weak~" Komachi looked at Hachiman with disdain.

Hachiman was too tired to even speak, rolling his eyes and completely ignoring Komachi's taunts.

"Hikki's current state is like a fish that was accidentally washed ashore and then dried into a salted fish," Yui described him aptly.

"If salted fish looked like this, I believe no one would want to eat it. It's too disgusting," Yukino tidied the creases on her clothes that had appeared after exercising with Hachiman.

"Can you guys stop making snide remarks? You try walking around all day and then doing squats while holding someone who weighs over ninety pounds?" Hachiman protested indignantly.

"You collapsed before even doing twenty," Yukino scoffed dismissively.

Little Rumi silently handed Hachiman a glass of water and sat obediently beside him.

"Rumi's the best. You three ungrateful wretches over there, I helped carry bags all afternoon, and this is how you treat me," Hachiman said disdainfully, looking at the three ungrateful people.

"Since I'm ungrateful, I won't give you a massage. I was actually going to help someone prevent muscle soreness," Yukino sighed regretfully.

"..." Hachiman really wanted to slap his own mouth.

Seeing Hachiman's constipated expression, Yukino burst out laughing. She slowly walked over to Hachiman and gently massaged his legs.

"If we weren't climbing a mountain tomorrow, you'd just have to suffer through the pain yourself," Yukino said, looking at Hachiman with her beautiful eyes, giving herself an excuse.

"Are we climbing a mountain tomorrow?" Yui asked.

"Ah~ We're going to see Arthur's Seat," Yukino said while massaging Hachiman's calves and talking to Yui.

Does that even count as a mountain...? Hachiman thought to himself.

"Arthur's Seat? Is that King Arthur?" Yui asked curiously.

"You know about it? Hachiman looked at Yui, surprised that she remembered King Arthur, even though she didn't know about the legendary figures of her own country.

"I've watched Fate too! Hikki, you underestimate me~" The girl patted her chest proudly.

Never mind, I was overthinking it.

Hachiman knew he couldn't expect anything from this silly girl.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Yui looked at Hachiman, who had a vein throbbing on his forehead, in confusion.

"I actually think King Arthur is pretty cool, almost like Little Snow."

"Even if you say that, I still don't understand why you'd refer to him that way."

Yukino, who never watched anime, stated she couldn't understand at all.

"What? Isn't she a girl?"

"You idiot, apologize to the British people!" Hachiman retorted.

"Mmm~ I didn't know, I thought you were talking about an anime character..."

Yui stuck out her tongue slightly, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Yui, don't tell the British that King Arthur is a woman. If you meet someone with a bad temper, they'll yell at you on the spot," Hachiman advised.

"Got it~" Yui waved dismissively, quickly forgetting about it and taking out a deck of cards from her bag.

"Hikki, Little Snow, wanna play cards? It's so boring on this train, and I don't understand the TV."

Yui pouted, not interested in the English channels at all.

"Sure, what kind of game do you want to play?" Hachiman was also feeling a bit bored, so he immediately got interested.

"Mmm~ Let's play cards, I don't know how to play anything else."

Yui thought for a moment and realized she didn't know many games.

"That's fine, it's indeed a bit early to sleep now, it's only a little past seven."
