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

Yui kindly reminded Hachiman from the side, stopping the boy from doing something reckless.

Hmm... Hachiman suddenly remembered that what was most astonishing about Hiratsuka Shizuka was not her appearance, but her martial arts skills, which were like those of a fighter.

Even though Yukino is proficient in Aikido, she is only skilled in technique; in the end, she is still just a girl who doesn't have much strength.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, however, was different. She was someone who could knock Hachiman unconscious instantly with a single punch. Therefore, Hachiman had always wondered just how developed Hiratsuka Shizuka's upper body muscles were.

Hey, I have a feeling you're thinking about something rude.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at Hachiman in the rearview mirror, her tone unfriendly.

Oh, so even your ability to sense good and evil is as sharp as a fighter's? Or are you actually a descendant of some reclusive family, here in the mortal world to cultivate?

Hachiman is increasingly showing a tendency to evolve into a comedic character.

Alright, we've arrived. Get off the bus.

Hiratsuka Shizuka jerked the steering wheel sharply, executing a stylish drift to bring the car to a steady stop.

Due to centrifugal force, Yui, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, was thrown onto Hachiman. Even though she had shared a bed with him the night before and had been teased by Yukino and Hachiman for a long time, Yui was still just as shy.

Yui, blushing sweetly, climbed off Hachiman, while Rumi rolled her eyes in annoyance.

She glanced at the dumpling with a mixture of jealousy and envy, then turned her head to express her strong dissatisfaction with the weapon that had almost suffocated her.

Oh, is Xiaojing here again? Same as always, tonkotsu ramen?

Yes, it's a super large portion.

Order whatever you want to eat, it's all on this brat.

Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke heartily, ignoring the large group of office workers in the ramen shop who looked like they were about to collapse from exhaustion, and greeted everyone in a carefree manner.



Chapter 90 The Arrival of Yang Nai

Yukino had been frowning slightly since she entered the ramen shop, clearly dissatisfied with the greasy tables. Moreover, most of the people sitting in the shop were white-collar workers from the surrounding office buildings who had to work overtime at night, their faces showing deep fatigue, as if they were overwhelmed by the pressure of life.

With a helpless sigh, he obediently sat down next to Hachiman.

When Hachiman saw that disgusted look, the young man chuckled and took Yukino's fair and soft hand.

What's wrong? You look so miserable.

Hachiman whispered in Yukino's ear.

Nothing much, it's just that this table is so dirty.

And it seems like the ramen here is also very oily.

Yukino and Hachiman were whispering to each other in public.

You two... can you please stop acting like this in front of me all the time, using the excuse of inviting me to dinner to come and torment me? That's going too far.

After catching up with the shop owner, Hiratsuka Shizuka turned around and saw the two of them cuddling together again. Her already bad mood was further aggravated, and she felt a pang of sadness as she covered her forehead.

Uh... I was just asking her what kind of ramen she wanted to eat.

Hachiman felt a little awkward because the distance between them wasn't too far, so he wasn't sure if Hiratsuka Shizuka had heard his conversation with Yukino.

Otherwise, it's really infuriating to let others choose the meeting place and then complain about it.

Conversely, if you can change all disagreeable statements to something that pleases you, that's fine too. Don't interrupt others when they're speaking; whether what they say is correct or not, just smile and nod.

If that's the case, then social skills like Yui Yuigahama's are nothing to envy.

Really? I have a feeling you're just trying to provoke me with malicious intent.

Hiratsuka Shizuka stared at Hachiman suspiciously, making him break out in a cold sweat, fearing that Hiratsuka Shizuka might punch him in the face and knock him to the ground.

After staring at Hachiman for a while and finding nothing amiss, Hiratsuka Shizuka turned back to continue her conversation with the shop owner.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Hiratsuka Shizuka said without turning her head: "Yono is coming later too, and she seems to have something to ask you. Hikiko-kun, have you offended her recently?" Her tone sounded like she wanted to devour you alive.

I didn't do anything to her... I haven't even spoken to her since we last met.

Hachiman looked completely bewildered, not understanding when he had offended that woman.

Yukino rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, "You seem to have forgotten about Hayama."

However, the girl didn't intend to remind him. Hachiman had indeed become a bit too complacent lately, and she wanted her older sister to give him a little nudge so that he could regain his usual composure.

Hmm, this ramen is really delicious.

In front of Komachi was a ramen bowl bigger than her own face, her little mouth glistening with oil from eating.

Why did you order such a large portion?

Hachiman looked at the ramen in front of Komachi, along with the two thick slices of char siu on top and various other toppings.

How would I know? The ramen I usually eat isn't even half the size of this. I only ordered a large portion because I was a little hungry.

Komachi was somewhat desperate; the bowl of ramen in front of her was enough to feed her for two meals.

I already reminded you that the portions of ramen at my house are very large, but you insisted on having a larger bowl.

The shop owner said this to Komachi while he was busy working nearby.

Eat up! If you can't finish it, pack it up and take it home for your late-night snack.

Hachiman reached out and ruffled Komachi's hair.

Um, please don't make the children's portion, I'm not very hungry, I'll just share a bowl with her.

Hachiman's words displeased Rumi, who was in his arms.

What's wrong? Looking down at Rumi, who was squirming in his arms, Hachiman tucked her kicking legs between his own, hugged the little one's soft waist, and their cheeks touched.

Who wants to share a bowl with you?

She turned her head away angrily, not wanting Hachiman to see the blush gradually appearing on her face.

What I mean is, you eat first, and I'll finish what's left.

Hachiman explained to her.

Ugh, you just want to eat my saliva, don't you? Daddy, that's disgusting.

Rumi looked at Hachiman with disdain, but let him hug her.

Hey...you're going too far with what I'm saying.

It's not excessive at all. Not only does Dad lick other people's feet, but he also gropes them all day long, and he finds excuses to spank them at the drop of a hat.

The young Chinese girl whispered.

Hachiman listened with a dark expression as the little guy revealed these crimes, which would be enough to land him in jail in Western countries, and he couldn't refute them because he had actually done them.

Xiaoxue~ Have they always had such a good relationship? They're practically like a biological father and daughter.

Yui was also whispering to Yukino.

It seems to have always been like this.

Yukino watched the father and daughter playing around and spoke to Yui with a smile.

But I feel like Rumi-chan doesn't really like me.

Yui felt a little down. She had clearly tried to talk to her in a very friendly way, but each time she had failed and was even treated coldly.

Yui Yuigahama, who is hailed as the most beautiful woman in the world, was somewhat hurt. When did her social skills become so bad that she couldn't even handle a little girl who was still in elementary school?

It will get better with time; this child has always been like this.

Hmm... I hope so.

After saying a few words, Yui began a fierce battle with the ramen in front of her.

Hey, Xiaoxue, you should try this! This ramen tastes amazing.

After taking a bite, Yui's eyes lit up as she spoke to Yukino.

Ah... Oh... Yukino looked at the ramen broth floating with heavy oil in front of her with difficulty, and under Yui's gaze, she could only grit her teeth and open her mouth.

The girl, who prefers light flavors, initially thought that this ramen would be greasy to the bone after taking a bite, but after chewing it carefully, she found that it was not as bad as she had imagined. On the contrary, it was very smooth.

Although it's a meat soup, it doesn't have that disgusting smell you usually get in restaurants.

Relieved, the girl only took a small bite before putting down her chopsticks. Although the taste was good, Yukino still didn't like this kind of food.

Seeing Hachiman pitifully eating the last bit of ramen left by Rumi, Yukino handed him her share.

Aren't you going to eat it?

I'm already full.

Hearing Yukino say that, Hachiman didn't stand on ceremony.

I don't know what triggered Rumi, but she was willing to use such a self-destructive method to kill eight hundred enemies, preferring to stuff her belly round rather than let Hachiman eat his fill.

The little guy was burping continuously, and only Hachiman noticed his attempts to laugh.

Looking at Rumi lying lifeless in his arms, Hachiman almost burst out laughing.

Ah, Hachiman, don't we need to have a talk?

As soon as a familiar female voice rang out, Hachiman's smile vanished.

"Talk...talk about what?" Hachiman turned around and stared stiffly at Hinano, who had her arm draped over his shoulder.

Chapter Ninety-One: The Sacrificed

You still ask me what to talk about? Have you forgotten everything you did? Yang raised an eyebrow, hooked Hachiman's chin and lifted his face, getting closer and closer until their noses touched slightly before stopping.

The gift for Hayama must have been the one you slipped into the bag you gave me, right? I didn't expect Hachiman to be so helpful.

Yang said coldly.

With a click, Hiratsuka Shizuka successfully completed Haruno's request and captured the current scene on camera.

Tsk tsk tsk~ Hiratsuka Shizuka clicked her tongue in amazement as she looked at the photo on her phone.

Yang Nai, I've sent it to your phone.
