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

However, Hachiman showed no impatience whatsoever; instead, he kept smiling, nodding in agreement, and patiently listening to her introduction.

Hachiman continued to look at the scenery outside the window only after the old man got off the bus.

The group slowly walked to the Radisson Blu Hotel Edinburgh. After completing the formalities at the front desk, Yukino handed one of the room keys to Hachiman.

You live with Rumi and Komachi.

Yukino paused for a moment before continuing to talk to Komachi: "Is it okay for you to share a room with your brother?"

Komachi doesn't care where she lives.

Komachi said nonchalantly.

That's good.

Yukino turned around and pulled Yui forward.

Komachi, who was behind, nudged Hachiman's ribs with her elbow and asked with a mischievous grin: "Brother~ Did you make Yukino angry?"

No, you're overthinking it.

Hachiman coldly carried his luggage and led the two troublesome girls towards the room.

Chapter 69 Edinburgh Travelogue Part Two

After putting away his and Rumi Komachi's luggage, Hachiman went out to meet Yukino and the other two.

When the five of them reached the elevator, they encountered a middle-aged man dressed as a waiter. His brown hair was meticulously smoothed with hair gel and combed into a ponytail at the back of his head. His carefully groomed face showed no trace of stubble.

Unlike typical Western men, he was physically imposing but lacked any arrogant rudeness; instead, he exuded a certain elegance from within.

"Are you going to a restaurant?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile in his deep voice.

Yes.

Hachiman inexplicably felt a slight liking for the person in front of him and responded.

Then please follow me, this way please.

He gestured with his hand, indicating "please".

After Hachiman and the others filed into the elevator, the uncle pressed the elevator button and stood quietly to the side.

With a ding, the elevator beeped, and then the doors slowly opened, leading us to the restaurant.

Please show me your room cards so I can register you.

Hachiman and Yukino showed him their room key, and the uncle thanked them and went over to his colleague to say a few words.

He quickly returned to the group and led them to a seat by the window. After Hachiman and his group sat down, he took five fruit tarts on a tray and placed them in front of them one by one.

This is for display only, not for eating. I will bring the food over later.

The uncle said with a serious expression.

"What did he say about watching and eating?" Yui, whose English wasn't very good, asked Yukino. Because the man spoke so fast, she only caught a few words.

Yukino repeated it, which made Yui a little unhappy at the time.

"Eh~ I can't eat this? I'm starving!" Yui suddenly collapsed onto the table, looking pitifully at the fruit tart in front of her.

Just as Yui was suffering from the inability to eat, the uncle brought out the breakfast, placed it in front of everyone, and smiled when he saw that no one had touched the fruit tart.

"This is edible. I was just joking. Did you guys really take it seriously?" The uncle couldn't keep his expression straight and laughed heartily.

Morrison, you're joking with the tourists again.

He seemed to be the uncle's friend, smiling as he looked over.

Shut up, Jaden, or I'll make sure you don't come in for free meals anymore.

Morrison glared at Jaden, who was eating fried sausage.

"Cough, I paid for it..." Jaden, after being glared at again, shut his mouth and silently struggled with the breakfast in front of him.

Our fruit tarts are made with fresh fruit on the same day. If there are any left over after three hours, they are recycled and sent to a modern fertilizer plant.

Morrison said.

Today's breakfast is bacon and eggs, plus a fried sausage and a few baked mushrooms.

If you don't want to drink milk, you can substitute orange juice.

The clock tower outside the window is Princes Street. If you're interested, you can visit it after breakfast. However, if you don't return to the hotel until after 2 p.m., all we can offer is afternoon tea.

Morrison noticed that Yukino was staring out the window as he explained.

As for dinner, from 5:30 pm to 8 pm, we will be providing a buffet for our guests here.

Well then, I'll be going now. Please feel free to call me if you need anything. Enjoy your meal.

"Mmm~ I'm starting!" Yui said softly, eagerly devouring the food in front of her.

"So much meat for breakfast...?" Yukino looked disgusted.

I think it's pretty good.

Hachiman, who had been raised like a herbivore by Yukino, hadn't had a morning meal with his mouth full of grease in a long time, and he felt especially good at this moment.

Tch, what's so great about it?

After finishing the baked mushrooms and fried egg, Yukino didn't touch her knife and fork again, but instead sipped her orange juice.

Hachiman didn't continue to speak and provoke trouble, otherwise Yukino would definitely not have minded letting him experience what Aikido is like.

As if sensing something, Yukino suddenly reached under the table and touched Hachiman.

"Ugh~" Yukino said disdainfully. "Let me tell you, you need to start exercising when you get back. You're as skinny as a monkey."

Huh? Hachiman was stunned, not knowing why Yukino suddenly said that.

Here, I don't need the papaya, you eat more.

Hachiman spoke gently, completely ignoring Yukino's murderous glare.

Yui, save the papaya for Yukino. If you eat this, you'll deform.

Hachiman is going further and further down the path of courting death.

Huh? What transformation? Yui, with her cheeks stuffed full of bacon and a sausage dangling from her mouth, looked at Hachiman with her jaws twitching like a hamster, completely bewildered.

It's okay, you can eat it.

Yukino handed the contents of her plate to Yui as well.

"I can't eat this much..." Yui shrank back before she could finish speaking. After Yukino gently kicked her under the table, Yui suddenly noticed that Hachiman's expression had instantly turned sour.

Hachiman looked at Yui, who was cowering with her head down, and had no words to express his suffering. Yukino, wearing small leather shoes, stomped her feet hard on her own feet, while twisting her little hands around her waist.

Pretending to be nonchalant, he nudged Rumi, who was happily eating, with his foot. The little girl was a bit confused by the sudden disturbance, but when she saw Hachiman's livid face and Yukino smiling and watching him from the side, and then remembered Hachiman's reckless words, Rumi instantly understood what she had to do.

Under Hachiman's hopeful gaze, Rumi feigned an innocent and naive demeanor and said to Yukino, "Does Mom like to eat papaya? I'll give mine to Mom too."

Hachiman felt that it was a bit late for him to buy a coffin now.

Fortunately, Rumi still remembered Hachiman's kindness. After revealing a mischievous smile, she still helped Hachiman out of the predicament. The little guy composed himself for a moment and said in a slightly shy tone: "Dad, I...I want to go to the toilet."

Komachi, go take Rumi to the restroom.

Yukino directly dispelled Hachiman's fantasy, glancing at him with disdain.

Honey? Do you think papaya is useless?

"It's useless! It's definitely useless. If papaya were useful, what would be the point of silicone?" Hachiman said righteously.

Since it's useless, should I still eat it?

Eat it if you like, or give it to me if you don't.

But if I don't eat it, someone will complain about me.

Yukino continued speaking in a sarcastic tone.

I don't mind at all. How could I possibly mind? My preferences definitely change depending on the actual situation.

Your little mouth is so sweet!

You know whether it's sweet or not; you've tasted it so many times.

Okay, tonight you'll do fifty squats with me, and that'll be the end of it.

Yukino said calmly.

What?! Hachiman's face turned green.

What? Not satisfied? Then a hundred will do.

Satisfied, satisfied, fifty in total.

Hachiman was already regretting his sharp tongue.

Let's go for a walk outside when Komachi and Rumi come back.

Yukino made a decision.

Chapter Seventy: Edinburgh Travelogue Part Three

In the lush Prince Street Gardens, the grass, glistening with dewdrops from a recent light rain, appeared even greener.

At the easternmost point of Princes Street, near Calton Hill, there is a road that leads west to the Duscot Monument and the National Museum of Scotland.

However, this was not Hachiman's destination. The group of five had just stepped out of the hotel when they noticed a light drizzle starting outside.

I took the umbrella from the doorman, pushed open the door and walked out of the hotel. Just as I was about to open the umbrella, I found that the drizzle had quietly stopped.

Hachiman, both amused and exasperated, returned the umbrella, while the surrounding pedestrians seemed to be used to it, simply tightening their coats and continuing on their way.

As soon as Yukino spread the blanket on the slightly damp grass and everyone sat down, some restless pigeons fluttered their wings and flew over to the side.

In just about ten minutes, the gloomy weather was dispelled by the warm sun, and pedestrians gradually appeared on the lawn.

Perhaps because it had just rained, the wet grass was not suitable for lying down and sunbathing, so pedestrians simply sat on the benches provided around the area.

Little business owner, take a look!
