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

Is that all? Hachiman felt it was unfair that he had taken a punch for no reason.

Or else?

Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand, indicating that Hachiman could leave.

Wait a minute, Shizuka stopped Hachiman, who was about to leave. This time, you better do a good job and don't even think about slacking off, understand?

Don't worry, I won't slack off this time.

Hachiman turned away, not wanting Hiratsuka Shizuka to see the coldness in his eyes.

That's good. I'd like to see what's making Yang Nai praise you so much.

Oh.

With a slight, cold laugh, Hachiman turned and left. As he entered the classroom, he glanced at Sagami, who was showing off to the girl next to him.

Silently adjusting his glasses, Hachiman sat down in his seat.

Chapter 55 Yukino Yukinoshita Remains Strong

So you actually became the male representative of Class F? Yukino twirled the pen in her hand, looking at Hachiman with a smile on her face.

What's wrong? Are you surprised? Hachiman scribbled and drew.

"With a personality like yours, who's unwilling to even turn over, how can you possibly take on such a thankless and arduous job?" Yukino teased Hachiman.

"You yourself said it's a thankless task, so why did you take it on?" Hachiman asked rhetorically.

Of course, the excellent should lead the incompetent.

Yukino said calmly.

Do you expect them to enjoy the fruits of your labor without a care in the world? And then turn around and blame you for not working hard enough? Hachiman frowned, his tone tinged with displeasure.

That's just how it is, isn't it? People who are too dazzling will only be ridiculed and envied.

Despite making enormous contributions to the world, they have been driven to a dead end by some incompetent people.

When people see a goal that they cannot surpass, their first thought is not to start working hard now to reduce the distance between themselves and others, but to try every means to slander and ridicule, to find various reasons to hypnotize themselves, and to believe that the achievements of others are dishonorable and were obtained through despicable means.

Yukino paused, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and then continued speaking.

Humanity's worst traits are clearly revealed at times like these.

Hearing what Yukino said, Hachiman couldn't help but chime in: Jealousy is the easiest way; you can almost close the distance with others just by using your brain.

Hey... what are you guys talking about? I don't understand any of it.

Yui stared blankly at the two of them.

It's good if you don't understand it; it would be best if you didn't understand it until you die.

Yukino sighed and looked at the naturally naive Yui.

"I don't really feel like this is a compliment..." Yui said, annoyed.

No, Yukino is just praising you.

Hachiman chuckled softly.

Really? What are you praising me for? The girl looked at Hachiman excitedly.

I'm complimenting you on your youthful mindset.

Hehehehe~ Yui laughed foolishly.

You sometimes overthink things. I wish you were like Yui.

Hachiman took Yukino's hand, feeling the fine lines on the girl's palm.

If I were like her, you would have sold me out long ago and I'd still be counting the money for you.

Yukino rolled her eyes at Hachiman, clearly annoyed.

How could that be? Even when you're eighty years old, unable to walk, and sitting in a wheelchair with white hair, I still can't bear to see you like that.

Ugh... Yukino thought about how she looked back then and couldn't help but shudder.

No... My face will be covered in wrinkles by then, I'll look awful, I'd rather be dead.

The girl said with a look of disgust.

Don't say that. You might as well be dead, and I'll lose many years of my life.

Hachiman shrugged and said.

"What's it to you if I just die?" Yukino asked, puzzled.

If you die, I will die of grief, so I want to go before you.

Hachiman said calmly.

You two are disgusting. You've been talking about dying since the beginning. Ugh, I can't stand it.

Yui pretended to look at the two of them with disgust.

Hahaha.

Yukino and Hachiman exchanged a knowing glance and burst out laughing at the same time.

"What are you laughing at?" Yui looked at them, completely bewildered.

It's nothing.

I really don't understand, Xiaoxue and Xiaoqi are sometimes so inexplicable.

Just then, Hachiman's phone suddenly rang.

I'm going to take this call.

Hachiman spoke apologetically to the two of them.

Hello~ Good afternoon, Hikigaya-kun~ You can tell from her tone that Haruno is very happy right now.

What's wrong? You seem to be in a good mood.

Hachiman responded with a smile.

Isn't this all because of you?

What did I do?

The plans you wrote have been initially implemented, and so far the response has been good.

Yang said.

So you called just to say this?

No, there are two more things.

Hurry up and tell me, Yukino and I have other things to do.

Ugh~ Yukino hasn't been contacting me lately either. She's really forgotten about her sister now that she's found a lover.

"Are you going to tell me or not?!" Hachiman roared at his sister-in-law in annoyance.

Alright, young man, don't be so impulsive. The first thing is, Dad said he'll have Yukino bring you home for dinner this weekend.

How was it? Are you happy?

No... I understand that was just a bit of a surprise. So what's the second thing?

The second thing is... You were supposed to get a share of the profits, but considering that men tend to go astray when they have money, I've put most of it into Yukino's account. I'll leave you a little for spending money, is that alright? Haruno said with a grin.

I have no objection; it's the same everywhere anyway.

Hachiman replied.

That's settled then. We'll talk about it tomorrow.

What? You're coming to Soubu High School?

Isn't this the cultural festival? As your senior, am I not welcome to come and see?

No, I welcome you. Your arrival makes things much easier for Yukino and me.

Hachiman hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking.

Huh? What's so relaxing? Miss Yang blinked, looking at the phone that had been hung up, completely bewildered.

"My older sister?" Yukino asked Hachiman.

Yes, she said she's coming to Zongwu High School tomorrow, so we can slack off a bit.

"I can't believe it," Hachiman said casually.

Pfft, you really don't treat her like an outsider.

Yukino giggled.

What kind of outsider is a sister-in-law?

As he spoke, Hachiman glanced at the transfer information on his phone.

Is eight million really just pocket money? What an ugly face of capitalists!

Hachiman, who was thinking this, never expected that he would join this group from now on.

Well.

Yukino glanced at her phone. "Why is my sister like this... Do you want me to transfer the money to you?"

No need, I have enough.

Hachiman waved his hand.

Upon hearing Hachiman's words, Yukino smiled happily.

What is it? Why are you being so mysterious?

Yui leaned over and saw the numbers displayed on Hachiman's phone, immediately letting out a scream.

Wow! Little Qi, did you rob a bank? There's so much money!

Yui, whom Fukuzawa Yukichi had barely touched since childhood, was quite surprised.
