The Hikigaya couple's youthful love story is definitely not a problem.

Hmm~ Yui thought with her pretty brows furrowed.

After a long while, she smiled sweetly and said, "Let's watch a newly released animated movie."

An animation? That's fine too. What's it called?

White Album the Movie

ha?

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Summer Vacation Arrives Quietly

A week has passed since the end of their workplace internship. While other students at Soubu High School are suffering and being exploited as free labor, the three members of the Service Club are enjoying a more leisurely life than a holiday.

Moreover, the others also have to go to great lengths to please their temporary superiors in order to obtain a better evaluation.

All Hachiman and his two companions needed to do was hand over the excellent evaluation forms they had already obtained from the venue manager to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Ahhh~ Now I can just lazily wait for summer vacation to arrive.

Yui stretched and said.

"Hmm, have you thought about how you're going to spend the next two months?" Hachiman asked casually.

Uh, I haven't decided yet.

Yui thought about it but couldn't come up with an answer.

Have you been eating too much cantaloupe and your brain has been eroded by sugar?

Huh? That's really going too far, little Qi.

Yui puffed out her cheeks angrily.

Have Xiaoqi and Xiaoxue decided where to go for summer vacation?

No, I don't want to go anywhere during the summer vacation. Staying at home with Komachi and enjoying the air conditioning is the best choice.

This is a choice that perfectly reflects the style of a small business.

Yui yawned and continued.

"Yui, are you sleepy?" Yukino asked, noticing.

Aren't you tired? You didn't get back until so late last night.

Wiping away her tears, Yui looked somewhat tired.

Hachiman got up, took a can of coffee from the cabinet, and handed it to Yui, gesturing for the yawning girl to perk herself up.

Well, it's alright.

Yukino's face also showed a hint of fatigue.

I really didn't expect Saki to work so hard.

Yui said this as she experienced firsthand how difficult it was to work late at night.

No, I should say that everyone has their own difficult side.

Hachiman's eyes are on the floor, so let's not talk about that anymore.

Anyway, Yukino.

Hachiman turned to look at the girl who was resting on the table with her eyes closed.

Hmm, what's wrong?

Yukino opened her eyes, her dark blue pupils like a pool of spring water.

"What are your plans for summer vacation?" Hachiman asked gently.

I don't know, don't forget I spent a long time at home during the summer vacation.

Yukino spoke in the same soft voice.

"Eh~ So neither Xiaoqi nor Xiaoxue have any plans in this regard?" Yui exclaimed in surprise. "It's summer vacation, a full two months!"

Speaking of plans, have you thought about what to do with that child? Yukino quietly snuggled up to Hachiman and whispered in his ear.

Which one? Studying in the US? Hachiman asked, frowning. I haven't thought about it yet.

Yukino felt a sense of bewilderment as she thought about the girl in her dream who was similar to herself.

It's okay, I'm here for you.

Hachiman hugged the girl in front of him and stroked her head to comfort her.

Moreover, Hachiman, I have a feeling that my mother might be looking for you.

Yukino looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with unease.

Yukino's mother's domineering nature left a deep impression on her, making her worry about whether Hachiman could pass the test.

It's alright, I don't think your mother is the kind of person who is heartless.

Hachiman said softly, "And isn't there Haruno too? I think she'll help us too."

Sister? I'll call her later and ask.

Yukino arrived hesitantly.

As Hachiman and Yukino were whispering to each other, they heard a soft snore coming from the side. When they turned around, they found that Yui had fallen asleep without them noticing.

Ha~ Yukino yawned as she looked at Yui sleeping soundly. Hachiman, I'm sleepy too.

Do you want to take a nap? There's still some time.

As she spoke, Yukino rested her head against Hachiman, relying entirely on his body for support, breathing in the scent emanating from him, and gradually drifted off to sleep peacefully.

……

"Onii-chan~ Did you stay home all summer?" Komachi, wearing only a T-shirt and blue and white panties, was clipping her toenails while talking to someone lying in bed playing on their phone.

Hachiman, half-dead, was barely coping with what was happening on the bed.

"Onii-chan, are you even listening?!" Angry Komachi stomped on Hachiman's face and rubbed it hard.

Hachiman, whose face was being stepped on, remained calm and simply licked the soles of his younger sister's fair feet. Komachi exclaimed in surprise and withdrew her foot.

"Onii-chan, how could you be so perverted?!" Komachi, blushing with embarrassment, playfully kicked Hachiman lightly.

If you don't stay home and sleep with your cutest little sister in the air conditioning, but instead go out, then you're the one who's crazy.

Hachiman licked his lips, savoring the feeling from just now.

Ee~ Onii-chan said that, Komachi is very happy, but aren't you going out on a date with Yukino-neechan?

Hachiman reached out and took Komachi's freshly trimmed toes in his hands. He picked up the nail polish that was placed aside, stuffed a towel between Komachi's toes, and slowly painted her toes.

"It's none of your business what I do with Yukino. You're just being nosy."

Hachiman said irritably.

Ugh~ I was just showing concern, after all, it's been so many years since Onii-chan only had one Yukino-neechan who liked him.

Komachi's little foot was pinched, and she said with a wronged expression.

Hachiman gently blew on Komachi's nails after finishing painting them.

"Your nail polish isn't very good. Should I go shopping with Yukino tomorrow and buy you a better one?" Hachiman asked.

Hehe, as long as it's from Onii-chan, it's fine.

Komachi happily hugged Hachiman and rubbed her little face against his.

Don't do that, it's so hot.

Hachiman pushed Komachi away with a look of disgust.

Ugh~ Onii-chan is tired of Komachi? He said he would marry Komachi, but now that he has Yukino, he's just thrown Komachi aside.

Komachi cried feigning distress.

Hachiman's lips twitched, ignoring the antics of Komachi in front of him, and he simply sent a text message to Yukino on his phone.

Do you have time tomorrow? I promised to buy Komachi a nail polish as a gift.

Tomorrow? I'll just send it over to you directly. I have a lot of cosmetics that I don't use anymore, so I'll give them all to Komachi.

That's not a good idea. After all, it's your stuff. What's the point of giving it to her? I'll pay you whatever it costs.

If you mention money to me again, I'll kick you to death.

It's settled then, I'll send it over to you tomorrow.

Hachiman felt very tired. He had a girlfriend who was quite wealthy, and he always felt like a gigolo living off her.

Komachi, come here for a second.

Hey~ What are you doing, Onii-chan?

Komachi happily came over.

Hachiman reached out and roughly rubbed Komachi's face.

Ugh~ What are you doing, Onii-chan?

Ignoring the wailing Komachi behind him, Hachiman let out a refreshed sigh.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Morning When Nothing Happened (Revised Version)

Early in the morning, Komachi, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by a series of knocks at very regular intervals.

Ah! Who is it, disturbing my peaceful sleep so early in the morning?

Komachi, looking annoyed, put on her clothes unhappily.

Yawning, Komachi shuffled to the entrance. "Who is it?" she asked impatiently.

Good morning, Komachi!

Yukino looked apologetically at Komachi, who was clearly still half asleep.

"Huh? Yukino-neechan is here so early?" Komachi blinked and said in surprise.
