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

Men and women dressed in Soubu High School uniforms were walking along the street from time to time, and they were all surprised to see two people holding hands.

Especially the male students, seeing Yukino, such a high-class beauty, being won over by Hachiman, aroused all sorts of feelings of envy, jealousy and hatred.

The girl, on the other hand, was wondering why she had never seen this handsome guy at school before; he seemed like a complete stranger.

Regardless of what others thought, the two slowly walked into the gates of Zongwu High School and waved goodbye only when they reached the stairs.

"Ara~ How was your summer vacation, Hachiman?" Miss Dango pounced on Hachiman like a puppy.

It's alright, but you seem to have forgotten something.

Hachiman stared at the beautiful girl.

Hehehe, I know, I'll go and take Sabre away today.

Hachiman rolled his eyes. Poor Sabre had been forgotten by its owner at the Hikigaya house for over a month, living a miserable life every day.

Because Yukino was terrified of dogs, Hachiman had no choice but to keep her outside and take her for walks every morning and evening.

I have a feeling you did this on purpose. You knew Yukino was so afraid of dogs, yet you still left it here.

Hachiman said suspiciously.

Oh dear, have we been found out? I just wanted to help Xiaoxue.

Yui said with a grin.

Then I should thank you, because of you, she's even more afraid of dogs now.

"I'm annoyed," Hachiman said.

"Huh? Why?" Yui was a little confused.

That day I wasn't paying attention, and your dog leash came loose. Sabre pounced on Yukino, scaring her half to death.

Hachiman recounted what happened at the time.

How could that be?

Yui said in utter despair, "Won't Xiaoxue hate me to death?"

Haha, if I hadn't stopped you, your Sabre would have been turned into dog meat hot pot.

Hachiman scared Dango.

Yui let out a cute, amused whimper that was hard to decipher, probably imagining her little dachshund being cooked.

Little business owner, thank you!

Yui had a bright smile on her face.

Well, how was your summer vacation?

Hmm, it's alright, I just feel like I've gotten a little tanned.

Yui was a little embarrassed.

Really? I didn't notice. In fact, she looks much fairer than before.

Oh! Really? Yui was overjoyed.

Can you tell I've gained weight? I couldn't control myself during my vacation and ate a lot.

I feel like I've gained some weight around my stomach.

Hachiman carefully examined Yui before speaking after a moment's hesitation.

Ah! You can tell? I can tell that Yui is a little panicked.

It's hard to tell unless you look closely.

Hachiman comforted him in this way.

No, even so, I'm going to lose weight.

The girl clenched her fists, having made up her mind.

Good luck!

Hachiman was being completely insincere and just going through the motions.

Huh? Doesn't Hachiman believe me? Yui sensed the doubt in Hachiman's words.

I never said that.

Just as Yui was about to continue speaking, Miura suddenly called her name.

Ah, excuse me, I'll be right there.

Yui's words carried a hint of apology.

Hachiman nodded to indicate that he was alright, watched Yui turn and leave, then walked to Miura's side and chatted and laughed with the group of popular people.

Shaking his head, Hachiman took his earphones out of his bag and listened to music by himself.

They waited patiently until Hiratsuka Shizuka walked into the classroom. Hachiman took off his headphones as a sign of respect, but he didn't hear what she was saying.

Reflecting on his summer vacation, Hachiman drifted off into his own thoughts.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Hachiman, who was staring out the window and smiling inexplicably, and felt a surge of anger. She gritted her teeth and continued to give instructions on what to do after returning from summer vacation.

...Finally, if you want to continue your studies, you should quickly refocus your mind.

Am I right, Hachiman?

Hiratsuka Shizuka's tone was filled with anger.

Huh? Hachiman withdrew his gaze and looked blankly at Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Repeat what I just said.

Hiratsuka Shizuka stared intently at Hachiman.

If you just said you wanted to continue your studies, you should focus on that as soon as possible.

Hachiman spoke up after being reminded by Yui behind him.

Okay, sit down.

When Hiratsuka Shizuka saw that Hachiman had answered, she had no choice but to let Hachiman sit down.

When school ended in the afternoon, Yui grabbed Hachiman and ran eagerly toward the Service Club.

As she opened the door, she found that Yukino had just put down her schoolbag. Yukino turned around when she heard the sound, but before she could say anything, Yui pounced on her and rubbed against her.

"Waaah~ Yukino, I miss you so much~" Yui rubbed her face against Yukino's.

Hey! What are you doing? Get up!

Feeling her breasts being squeezed by Yui's fullness, Yukino immediately felt her nipples slowly harden.

Huh? Xiaoxue, you smell just like Xiaoqi.

Yui sniffed Yukino for a long time before letting out a gasp.

Huh? Hachiman and Yukino were dumbfounded.

"Are you a dog?" Hachiman thought to himself, looking at Yui who was holding Yukino.

"You two... do you sleep together?" Yui asked, looking at the two of them with a mischievous grin.

Ah... um... no.

Yukino stammered shyly.

Yui knew she was right from Yukino's tone and smiled wickedly.

Oh ho~ really? Yui didn't believe Yukino's words at all.

Hey Xiaoxue, I have a question for you.

what?

"Um... does it hurt?" Yui asked hesitantly.

Hachiman covered his face, wanting to beat the dumpling to death.

Huh!? Yukino was completely dumbfounded and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Xiaoxue, tell me quickly! Everyone says it hurts a lot.

Yui is like a curious child.

I don't feel any pain.

Yukino said calmly.

Huh? Doesn't it hurt? Yui was completely confused.

I don't feel anything.

Yukino, who was still a virgin after living with him for two months, remained unusually calm.

Since I haven't tried it yet, if you want to know whether it hurts or not, go find Hachiman and try it yourself.

Yukino casually smoothed her hair.

Huh!? But... isn't Xiaoqi your boyfriend?

Yui was confused by Yukino's words.

Yukino, who was about to say that she didn't care, choked on her words, only to realize that the Yui in front of her was not the kind of person who would share her boyfriend Hachiman with her.

Then why are you asking me what to do?

Yukino rolled her eyes and said irritably.

Hehehe, I'm just curious.

Yui stuck out her tongue.

It was just me and Yukino; if it were anyone else, they wouldn't give you a good look if you asked them that.

Hachiman spoke to Yui with a slightly reproachful tone.
