Shiina Hiyori's Turn / Shiina Hiyori Gets What She Wanted

"I'll go too. I can't let that guy take advantage of you."

Ibuki Mio glared, as if she could already see the exact scene of Hashiba Hikaru "frivolously" Shiina Hiyori.

"This..."

Shiina Hiyori hesitated for a moment. She didn't mind having Ibuki Mio come along, but she was a little worried that Hashiba Hikaru would be unhappy.

"Let me ask Classmate Hashiba."

"Snort."

Ibuki Mio crossed her arms and sneered.

A while later, Hashiba Hikaru's reply arrived.

"Classmate Hashiba has agreed, let's go together."

Shiina Hiyori smiled slightly, feeling very content.

"Hmph, at least he still has some conscience."

Ibuki Mio snorted again and finally agreed to the date.

Chapter 795 is Shiina Hiyori's turn.

When Hashiba Hikaru meets with Shiina Hiyori, she usually chooses a Matoba are relatively few people.

Because she loves reading, the girl prefers quiet places, such as Library or less crowded cafes.

However, because we brought an extra person today, the atmosphere was a bit noisier, lacking the intimate atmosphere we usually have when we're alone, but adding a unique sense of liveliness.

"So, what exactly are you planning to do?"

Ibuki Mio and Shiina Hiyori sat opposite Hashiba Hikaru. She placed one hand on the table and stared intently at the boy in front of her.

"What are your plans and what will you do?"

Hashiba Hikaru seemed not to understand, and after finally choosing the drink she wanted, she handed it to the waiter standing to the side.

"I'm asking you how you plan to handle your relationship with Hiyori?"

Ibuki Mio glanced at her best friend, whose face had been adorned with a gentle smile ever since Hashiba Hikaru arrived.

"What's it to you?"

Hashiba Hikaru raised an eyebrow. "Even if I were to make a decision, I would only tell Shiina. Why would I need to inform you?"

"Because I must protect Hiyori!"

Ibuki Mio glared fiercely at Hashiba Hikaru, her tone becoming even more aggressive, "You're already juggling so many relationships, can't you just leave Hiyori alone?"

"Ibuki... please don't say that."

Shiina Hiyori gently grasped Ibuki Mio's small hand, her voice soft, "What happens between us is none of anyone else's business. I trust Classmate Hashiba will make her own choice."

"Yeah, I'll only tell Shiina how to answer. What are you, an outsider, meddling in?"

Hashiba Hikaru chimed in, causing Ibuki Mio's face to flush instantly.

"You!"

"Hmph, then I'd like to hear exactly what you're planning to choose!"

Ibuki Mio crossed her arms and leaned back against the leather sofa, her face full of displeasure.

"Heh, Shiina, while I don't object to you bringing Ibuki?"

Hashiba Hikaru's expression was serious as she directly asked the gray-haired girl, "I've thought about many things these past few days. Now that I know your feelings, I must give you an answer. I don't want to delay any longer."

"Hmm... I believe Ibuki will keep it a secret; she's not the type to gossip."

Since Shiina Hiyori brought Ibuki Mio with her, it's impossible for her to leave halfway. Having someone stay here can give the girl the courage to face the answer.

"Real?"

Hashiba Hikaru glanced at Ibuki Mio, seemingly a little surprised, which made the short-haired girl roll her eyes immediately.

"Just tell me what you want to say. Whatever your answer, I can assure you that no fourth person will know!"

Ibuki Mio herself had no interest in these things. If it weren't for Shiina Hiyori, even if Hashiba Hikaru was dating a hundred men at the same time, it wouldn't concern her.

"Alright, one more won't hurt, it doesn't really matter."

Hashiba Hikaru looked around. Since it was still quite early, there weren't many people in the coffee shop, and their seats were rather secluded, so they wouldn't attract too much attention.

"Um."

Shiina Hiyori nodded, her gaze fixed intently on Hashiba Hikaru, eager to hear her response.

Before giving this answer, there's something I must tell you first.

Hashiba Hikaru carefully chose his words because this matter was crucial. Although he knew that Shiina Hiyori liked him, it didn't mean that she could really accept the ending of "I Want It All."

"What's up?"

"I'm a very greedy person, and I'm sure Shiina knows that."

"Um."

"When sorting out my own relationship problems, I chose an answer that sounds really outrageous, but I have to tell you this answer first. If you, Shiina, are unwilling, I won't force you to accept it, because I'm the one who's being unreasonable."

Hashiba Hikaru spoke sincerely, saying that since she had figured out how to proceed, she should tell everyone what was going on.

With this foundation, dealing with relationships with the girls will become much easier, avoiding mutual suspicion and testing.

What answer?

Shiina Hiyori suddenly felt a little nervous. She could roughly guess what was going on, but she wasn't sure.

When the gray-haired girl asked the question, Ibuki Mio, who was sitting next to her, also became serious. As an outsider, she was now just as curious and wanted to know what Hashiba Hikaru's answer was.

My answer is... I don't want to let anyone down.

The boy paused for a moment, then said, "In the future, I want to take responsibility for everyone's future and pursue the most perfect ending."

"..."

While Ibuki Mio stood there dumbfounded, Shiina Hiyori, upon hearing this, revealed a faint smile on her face.

Because she understood what the boy meant.

This wasn't a rejection, but rather an "absurd" invitation.

"You're really honest, aren't you? You can make wanting to have multiple relationships sound so appealing, you're shameless!"

Ibuki Mio couldn't help but curse.

Although she had never been in a romantic relationship, she had been exposed to many literary and artistic works under the influence of Shiina Hiyori.

Generally speaking, when a guy is unfaithful, he will usually keep it a secret from different female companions and use information asymmetry to achieve the goal of dating multiple girls at the same time.

But Hashiba Hikaru was completely different; he actually said "I Want It All" outright. Wasn't he afraid his girlfriend wouldn't accept it?

"What did Zhise-san say about this?"

Although the tension in Shiina Hiyori's heart had disappeared, she still wanted to gather more information. What the girl longed for was to be with Hashiba Hikaru forever, rather than pursuing fleeting pleasure.

"Honami... she agrees with my idea."

That was the real bombshell, instantly stunning the two girls opposite them.

Ibuki Mio's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

Shiina Hiyori, standing next to her, was equally taken aback. In her view, Ichinose Honami, as Hashiba Hikaru's official girlfriend, possessed a unique status and could even force the boy to keep his distance from other girls.

But after hearing Hashiba Hikaru's answer, they were surprised by the situation.

"Ichinose, do you accept? Do you accept your wish to have multiple relationships at the same time?!"

Ibuki Mio and Ichinose Honami are friends. She has a good impression of the gentle pink-haired girl and cherishes this friendship.

"Yes."

Hashiba Hikaru nodded. Ichinose Honami accepted this because she couldn't bear being separated from him. It was a form of emotional blackmail out of love. The boy wouldn't feel smug; he would only want to make it up to her.

"..."

Ibuki Mio rubbed her head, seemingly still trying to process the current situation.

"Classmate Hashiba, is this what you wanted to tell me beforehand?"

Shiina Hiyori looked at his face, her expression resolute.

"Yes, Shiina, do you find it absurd?"

I don't think so.

The gray-haired girl gently shook her head. "In fact, it's perfect, because this way I won't have to feel sorry for Ichinose."

"..."

Chapter 796 Shiina Hiyori Fulfilled

Hearing Shiina Hiyori's answer, Hashiba Hikaru was somewhat surprised. He couldn't help but glance at the gray-haired girl's expression and found that the smile on her face remained pure.

"Shiina... you should know what I mean, right?"

"I understand. If Classmate Hashiba have any questions, I can explain my thoughts again."

Shiina Hiyori took a deep breath and spoke with unwavering determination.

"I've liked Classmate Hashiba for a long time, and that feeling hasn't faded because you've started dating someone else. I think liking someone is a rare and precious emotion, something worth remembering forever."

"Now that Ichinose has accepted Classmate Hashiba's idea, I don't think I need to worry too much, because my thinking has always been very simple."

The girl stared into Hashiba Hikaru's eyes and asked, word by word.

"As long as my feelings for Classmate Hashiba are the same, then we don't need to worry about any problems."

"Um..."

Hashiba Hikaru Hashima studied the gray-haired girl sitting opposite her. After she had revealed all her inner thoughts, many things became logical. There was no need to dwell on it too much; she could simply face her own heart.

"My feelings for Shiina are definitely the same."

The boy smiled slightly, his tone finally Matsushita as he sensed Shiina Hiyori's affection.

"I've never believed in love at first sight. I only believe that people develop feelings for each other through continuous contact, and that's how relationships are born."

"That's good."

A playful smile appeared on Shiina Hiyori and gentle face. "Now I've said everything I wanted to say."

"Yes."

The conversation with Shiina Hiyori was quite pleasant. Perhaps because of her love of reading, she possessed a unique and serene temperament. Even when discussing profound emotional topics, the girl remained very calm.

"So what is our relationship now?"

Shiina Hiyori suddenly asked again, a faint smile playing on her lips, like a quiet water lily.

"Of course they're a couple, what other possibility could there be?"

Hashiba Hikaru nodded. He glanced at Ibuki Mio sitting next to the girl. The girl's expression remained one of shock, probably because the aftershocks of his previous answer hadn't completely dissipated.

"Well then, please take good care of Classmate Hashiba."

Shiina Hiyori thought for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject, "Now that Classmate Hashiba and I are a couple, shouldn't we change how we address each other?"

"Hmm, so what do you think would be a better replacement?"

Hashiba Hikaru stroked his chin. He usually addressed the girls he was close to by their first names, except for one girl Kiryuuin Fuuka, whom he called "senpai" (senior).

"What do the other girls call Classmate Hashiba?"

As a girl, everyone wants something unique. Having a special nickname can make Shiina Hiyori feel more secure.

"Hmm... I guess most people just call each other by name, except for one person who called me 'Junior-kun'."

Hashiba Hikaru gave her answer, and this answer once again caused Ibuki Mio's expression to change, prompting her to immediately launch into a barrage of three questions.
