The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

A flock of crows flew overhead, and Hachiman Hikigaya, resigned to his current position, took out his phone and started browsing the internet.

However, sleep is contagious.

After an unknown amount of time, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly felt his arm being gently tugged.

Opening his sleepy eyes and looking up, he saw Yukino Yukinoshita, who should have been with most of the others going up the mountain, standing in front of him with a frosty expression, her sharp eyes seeming to pierce through his body.

"Ah, Yukinoshita, why are you back early?"

Hachiman Hikigaya covered his mouth with his hand and yawned, looking somewhat confused at the empty space behind Yukino Yukinoshita.

It's quite rare to see Yui Yuigahama by Yukino Yukinoshita's side...

"Otherwise what? Do you want everyone to know you're a lolicon?"

With Yukino Yukinoshita's voice, the originally hot summer instantly entered the Ice Age.

The biting cold instantly jolted Hachiman Hikigaya awake, and he immediately snapped back to reality.

"Well....."

Suddenly, Rumi Tsurumi's murmured words came from the other side of her body.

Hearing Tsurumi Rumi's voice, Hachiman Hikigaya, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita's increasingly gloomy face, swallowed hard, feeling his life was about to end, and stammered:

"Well, I think I can explain the reason for this situation..."

"Oh? Now that things are like this, how does the lolicon friend plan to explain it?"

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya's flustered appearance, Yukino Yukinoshita stared at him meaningfully and asked.

"A lolicon classmate?"

Hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's new nickname for him, Hachiman Hikigaya was both amused and exasperated.

"If you're not satisfied with this title, how about 'Paramecium'?"

Despite speaking in a very polite tone, Yukino Yukinoshita uttered such vicious words.

Moreover, he was just a freak before, so why did his species change from a mammal to a single-celled organism in just a few seconds?

"Please, you should know I'm not that kind of person, right?"

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead as Hachiman Hikigaya tried to change Yukino Yukinoshita's opinion of him.

"Indeed, before, Paramecium only stared at my and Yuihama's chests and thighs with strange looks. But that doesn't mean you won't develop new fetishes in such a short time."

"I won't awaken! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻"

Besides, he hadn't been staring at their chests and legs the whole time! At most, it was just the attraction of adolescent hormones that caused him to glance at them occasionally.

Besides, is there really any need to watch this flat Happy Valley racecourse? Even if he were to stare, he should be staring at Yui Yuigahama, right?

"Looks like you really want to die once."

Yukino Yukinoshita, who guessed what Hachiman Hikigaya was thinking from his facial expression, instantly turned evil.

"Wait, wait a minute, things aren't as you think!"

As Yukino Yukinoshita approached him step by step, Hachiman Hikigaya was about to get up and run away when he realized that his arm was still being used as a pillow by Rumi Tsurumi, so he couldn't escape at all!

...............

A few minutes later, Tsurumi Rumi, who had just been awakened by the noise beside her, opened her eyes and saw Hikigaya Hachiman kneeling in front of Yukino Yukinoshita with his head drooping, listening to her teachings.

"Eh?"

Blinking her eyes in confusion, Tsurumi Rumi wondered what had happened.

She only caught up on some sleep, so why did Hachiman Hikigaya end up looking so miserable?

Good afternoon, Tsurumi-neechan.

Hearing the noise beside her, Yukino Yukinoshita turned around and greeted her in a completely different gentle tone than when she spoke to Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Good afternoon. Um, did he do something wrong?"

Faced with Yukino Yukinoshita's question, Rumi Tsurumi subconsciously responded, and then she curiously asked Hachiman Hikigaya why he had become like this.

"Well, it's probably best if Tsurumi doesn't know about this..."

Upon hearing Rumi Tsurumi's question, Yukino Yukinoshita's expression darkened once again.

Feeling the chill emanating from in front of him, Hachiman Hikigaya involuntarily shivered.

Yukinoshita, whose taboos have been violated, is truly terrifying!

"Ah, is that so?"

Rumi Tsurumi was also taken aback by Yukino Yukinoshita's imposing presence.

However, after regaining her senses, she became even more curious about what Hachiman Hikigaya had done earlier...

"Where's Yuihama?"

A few minutes later, Hachiman Hikigaya, who had finally been let off the hook, sat back down in his seat with a sigh of relief.

He reverted to his previous lazy demeanor and inquired about Yui Yuigahama's whereabouts.

"Yui is helping Miura organize those kids."

Seeing Hachiman Hikigaya's lazy demeanor, Yukino Yukinoshita subconsciously frowned.

If his mother saw him like this...

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly froze, then realized what she had been thinking and her skin instantly turned ripe.

"what happened?"

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, who had suddenly become shy, with a puzzled expression. He wondered what she had been thinking about.

"nothing."

She coughed lightly twice to ease her embarrassment, and Yukino Yukinoshita quickly composed herself.

"Then why did you come back early, Yukinoshita?"

"I don't want to work anymore."

Yukino Yukinoshita spoke seriously about skipping work.

"........."

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at her silently upon hearing this.

Is this really the meticulous Yukino Yukinoshita he knows?

"Well, actually it's because I felt a bit of heatstroke, so Ms. Hiratsuka told me to come back first..."

Faced with Hachiman Hikigaya's questioning gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head away guiltily and revealed the real reason for her return.

"Heatstroke?"

Upon hearing Yukino Yukinoshita's reply, Hachiman Hikigaya thoughtfully looked up at the sun that had just climbed overhead.

Although it is summer, the temperature in Japan is very hot.

But they were in the mountains, and they were climbing in the morning.

To get heatstroke under these circumstances is truly...

"If you think I'm physically weak, you can just say so, you lolicon."

Seeing the strange expression on Hachiman Hikigaya's face, Yukino Yukinoshita, who had already given up and was ready to give up, gave up struggling and indicated that Hachiman Hikigaya could speak freely.

"I'd rather you call me by my name than that."

With a pair of dead fish eyes, Hachiman Hikigaya reached out and placed his hand on Yukino Yukinoshita's fair arm.

"Please excuse me for declining this."

Yukino Yukinoshita pouted slightly, as if she were throwing a tantrum, and said softly.

"So you really do have a bit of heatstroke?"

Hachiman Hikigaya, sensing that Yukinoshita's bodily functions were somewhat disordered, began to treat her by circulating his spiritual energy.

Yukino Yukinoshita did not resist Hachiman Hikigaya's actions.

Although she had spoken ill of Hachiman Hikigaya before, she trusted him deeply from the bottom of her heart.

Besides, it was just a touch of hands, nothing to be alarmed about...

However, what seemed like an ordinary scene to the two of them became a completely different picture in Tsurumi Rumi's eyes.

Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinoshita looked at each other, and then Yukino Yukinoshita turned her head away shyly.

Then, Hachiman Hikigaya boldly grabbed Yukino Yukinoshita's arm...

Seeing the pink ring around their bodies, Tsurumi Rumi wisely jumped off her seat and ran back to her tent.

When Hachiman Hikigaya recovered from his heatstroke and looked around, he discovered that Rumi Tsurumi had disappeared.

"Thank you."

Retracting her arm, Yukino Yukinoshita covered the spot where Hachiman Hikigaya had grabbed her with her other hand and whispered her thanks.

"nothing."

Mild heatstroke is not a big problem, and Hachiman Hikigaya did not have any other thoughts about it.

After a brief chat, Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at the time, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

Now only three people remain in the camp.

Logically and emotionally, the task of cooking fell to her.

We had a simple lunch prepared by Yukinoshita.

Hachiman Hikigaya then planned to return to his tent for a midday rest.
