The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

However, he had barely had this idea when he was conscripted as a security guard by Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Why did you invite me to come with you to the stream?"

Hachiman Hikigaya sat listlessly on a large rock by the stream, staring at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was doing warm-up exercises beside him, and asked.

"If we encounter danger, it would be more convenient with you around, wouldn't it?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked back.

Although the stream wasn't too far from the camp, there was still a possibility of wild animals roaming around.

Moreover, dangers don't only come from animals; they can also come from various accidents.

Since Hachiman Hikigaya is also planning to rest, then resting in a tent or resting in the shade of a tree by the stream is the same, right?

"Are they treating me like a bodyguard?"

Hearing Yukinoshita's explanation, Hachiman Hikigaya felt quite helpless.

Although he had already acted as a bodyguard last night, there is still a big difference between being forced to do it and doing it voluntarily.

"Then I'll leave it to you to do your job well, Mr. Bodyguard~"

After finishing her warm-up exercises, Yukino Yukinoshita, in a surprisingly good mood, teased Hachiman Hikigaya.

Then, she pulled Tsurumi Rumi, who had also finished warming up, and the two 'Yukino's, one big and one small, jumped into the icy water under the watchful eyes of Hachiman Hikigaya.

Hearing the playful laughter around him, Hachiman Hikigaya shrugged, and then, as Yukino Yukinoshita had suggested, found a shady spot, leaned against a tree trunk, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Hachiman..."

I don't know how much time had passed, but suddenly Tsurumi Rumi's voice appeared in my ears.

Hachiman Hikigaya looked up at Rumi Tsurumi, who was standing timidly in front of him, wondering what she wanted to do. Rumi Tsurumi then showed a determined look on her face.

She then took her hands out from behind her back and splashed the stream water from the container directly onto Hachiman Hikigaya's face.

"........."

The cool touch of the stream water instantly awakens the body's functions.

Wiping the water droplets from his face, Hachiman Hikigaya reached out and grabbed Rumi Tsurumi, who was trying to escape. After swaying her in mid-air, he asked her why she did it.

"It was Yukino-neechan who suggested it! I was just following her orders!"

Grabbed by Hachiman Hikigaya, before he could even interrogate her, Rumi Tsurumi covered her head with her hands and revealed all the information.

"........."

Completely surprised by Tsurumi Rumi's swift surrender, Hikigaya Hachiman was taken aback by her words.

Standing in the stream, Yukino Yukinoshita saw this scene and held her forehead in distress.

Are you angry?

Tsurumi closed her eyes, covered her head, and waited for half a day, but she still didn't see Hachiman Hikigaya's anger.

[Is it really as Yukino-neechan said?]

Tsurumi breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at Hachiman Hikigaya in front of her.

"Absolutely not."

It was just a little water splashed on me playfully by someone I knew.

Hachiman Hikigaya wasn't so narrow-minded as to get angry over something like this.

Although he wasn't angry, he still ended up losing out.

therefore........

To Tsurumi Rumi's astonishment, Hikigaya Hachiman raised his hand and guided a large ball of water from the stream, which hovered above her before bursting it...

"You're cheating!"

Soaked to the bone, Tsurumi angrily accused Hachiman Hikigaya of cheating in the game.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with making reasonable use of one's own strength."

Hachiman Hikigaya turned his face away, refusing to look at Rumi Tsurumi's angry eyes.

This move undoubtedly fueled Rumi Tsurumi's anger.

She was grinding her teeth angrily, her eyes scanning over Hachiman Hikigaya's body, clearly looking for a suitable opportunity to pounce and bite.

"Alright, Tsurumi-neechan, come here."

Yukino Yukinoshita, who was standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer.

She walked over to Hachiman Hikigaya, pulled Rumi Tsurumi to her side, and after carefully wiping the water off her face, she stood up and turned her gaze to the guilty-looking man.

"Want to play together?"

"Eh?"

Hachiman Hikigaya could hardly believe his ears.

Was Yukino Yukinoshita inviting him to go out and play just now?

"That's right, just as you heard it."

Faced with Hachiman Hikigaya's surprised gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded affirmatively.

She had just thought about it carefully and realized that it was really going too far to leave Hachiman Hikigaya out while she played with Rumi Tsurumi.

Moreover, during their playful interactions, Tsurumi Rumi didn't seem to be very open with her.

Although she hates to admit it, it seems that Tsurumi Rumi is much more relaxed around men, like Hikigaya Hachiman, than she is...

"Playing with it isn't out of the question..."

Hachiman Hikigaya's gaze was somewhat unfocused.

Even though this was the second time he had been invited by a girl, he still felt a sense of unreality.

Especially since the person who invited her was Yukino Yukinoshita.

"If you want to play, then hurry up and change your clothes."

Yukino Yukinoshita did not give Hachiman Hikigaya much time to speak.

After hearing that Hachiman Hikigaya had agreed, she immediately gave him a gentle push from behind and urged him toward the camp.

Only after Hachiman Hikigaya had completely disappeared into the stream did Yukino Yukinoshita finally exhale the breath she had been holding in.

"call......"

Taking a deep breath, Yukino Yukinoshita recalled her actions just now and couldn't help but feel her face burning again.

She quickly jumped into the stream and immersed herself in the water.

However, the icy stream water did nothing to cool her body; in fact, she felt even hotter...

"Does Yukino-nee like older brothers?"

Suddenly, Rumi Tsurumi, who was standing next to her, asked a straightforward question.

"Why do you say that?"

Yukino Yukinoshita felt a tremor in her heart, but on the surface, she asked in a calm tone.

"Hmm, is it because Yukino-nee looks at big brother with such gentle eyes?"

Rumi Tsurumi thought about it carefully, and finally gave an uncertain answer.

"gentle?"

"Aside from your older brother and the other girl with the bun hairstyle, Yukino-nee, you seem quite distant towards everyone else. However, when you're with your older brother, you readily show your true feelings..."

And they can be quite temperamental!

Rumi Tsurumi silently added in her mind.

However, Rumi Tsurumi would never dare to say such a thing aloud.

Although she didn't see Yukino Yukinoshita at her most terrifying, she would never forget the fierce look she saw on Hachiman Hikigaya when she woke up that morning.

Chapter 318 Getting Used to It

Around 4 p.m., the large hiking group finally returned to the campsite.

"Xiaoxue, I'm exhausted today!"

Yui Yuigahama dragged her exhausted body back to the tent, and the moment she saw Yukino Yukinoshita, she immediately rushed over to her and poured out her grievances about the pressure she had been under that day.

Faced with Yui Yuigahama's tearful complaints, Yukino Yukinoshita was both amused and exasperated.

When we were going hiking this morning, Yuigahama Yui was the most excited among the girls, but now...

"Okay, hurry up and sit down and rest for a while."

Yukino Yukinoshita gently patted Yui Yuigahama's shoulder to comfort her, then pressed her shoulder to help her sit down on the bed before picking up a fan to fan her.

"Mmm, that feels so good~"

With her eyes half-closed, Yui Yuigahama enjoyed the care from Yukino Yukinoshita, and involuntarily let out a moan.

[This is so spineless...]

Yumiko Miura, who had also returned with Yui Yuigahama, saw her little follower bribed with a mere fan service as soon as she entered the tent, and countless black lines immediately appeared on her forehead.

We closed the tent door; since we're both women, there was no need to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

After walking all day, with her clothes completely soaked with sweat, Yumiko Miura stood in the middle of the tent and changed her clothes.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't pay much attention to Yumiko Miura at first.

After all, the two of them don't get along, and they even had a fight last night.

But as those round, exposed breasts were exposed to the air, as if drawn by some unseen force, Yukino Yukinoshita happened to catch a glimpse of this scene.

With a "thud," the fan in her hand fell to the ground.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita, unaware of all this, continued to stare blankly at the curves of Yumiko Miura's body.

[I had expected there would be a gap, but was it really this big?]
