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

As long as Yukino can understand him, he doesn't care if he breaks ties with those ungrateful friends and relatives, or even if he is scolded by his father for it.

After all, all his actions were for the sake of the Yukino family, or rather, for Yukino.

It's not hard work. This is the path my sister chose herself. Someone has to stand up for the Yukino family, but you can't do it, so it's only right that I handle these things.

Besides, I am the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family. If these things were to fall on your shoulders, it wouldn't be a good thing for me either.

It took Yang Nai a long time to calm herself down. As if she had unloaded all her burdens, she spoke in a very relaxed manner.

Because of various troubles at home and at work recently, Yang Nai, who is only in her early twenties and still in college, is very irritable no matter how strong she is.

The phone call from Yukino at that moment was like a refreshing bowl of cool tea on a sweltering summer day, so soothing and comforting.

Why would he suddenly say that? Yang Nai was also a little puzzled.

Seeing how Hachiman and his sister interacted, I suddenly felt envious; that's true family love.

Yukino smiled and said to Haruno.

So, does that mean I should thank that guy? Yang Nai was immediately annoyed. How come this guy's shadow is everywhere? Not only did he steal away her favorite little sister, but all the years of training she had given him were not as good as the few months he had given her?

Yang Nai absolutely hated Hachiman, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere; he was like her natural nemesis.

He had somehow managed to trick his favorite younger sister away with some clumsy tricks, and she was even speaking up for him.

He had intended to use his family background to make things difficult for him, but before he could even make a move, the guy handed him a business plan. The forward-thinking ideas in the plan even shocked his parents.

Whenever he thought of this, Yang felt a toothache, as he felt that every time he encountered Hachiman, he was completely under Hachiman's thumb.

Today, Yukino's phone call finally gave me a little confidence, making me realize that my sister has more than just that jerk in her heart.

Before he could even finish feeling smug, reality slapped him hard in the face. It turned out that the phone call was just because he had seen Hachiman and his sister's daily life and was moved by it.

Yang Nai suddenly felt that life was bitter and tiring, and the future was bleak.

It's not really easy to explain over the phone. How about we find a place to talk it over when I get back from my school trip? Yukino suggested.

Alright, I've actually had some things on my mind for a long time. Since you've put it this way, let's settle on this.

Yang agreed.

Okay, I'll discuss it with Hachiman later and then I'll call you.

Ah, whatever you want.

Yang suddenly hung up the phone in a huff, leaving Yukino puzzled as to why her older sister was so angry.

What happened? Did she hang up on you? Hachiman chuckled as he looked at Yukino's bewildered expression. The girl's adorable face made Hachiman want to pinch her cheek.

I only mentioned you briefly, I didn't expect my sister to react so strongly.

Yukino was a little embarrassed.

It's okay, I'm used to it. Yang Nai and I actually have a very good relationship, she just doesn't say it out loud.

Hachiman waved his hand dismissively. Perhaps because both he and Haruno were siscon (sister complex), the two often had things in common.

The teacher can rest assured now.

Yukino turned to Hiratsuka Shizuka beside her and said.

Huh? Oh, since you and Yang Nai are on such good terms now, I'm relieved.

But if you don't hurry up now, you'll be late!

Hiratsuka Shizuka shrugged indifferently. She was just offering advice anyway; it was best if the advice was heeded, but it didn't matter if it wasn't.

It's only a ten-minute walk from here to the school, so we should have enough time.

Hachiman glanced at the time, then pulled Yukino along slowly, a stark contrast to the other Soubu High students beside them who were rushing around, afraid of being late.

Oh, so unhurried? Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Teacher... have you forgotten that Yukino and I have already been guaranteed admission to university? Going to school is just a formality for us.

Well.

It was only then that Hiratsuka Shizuka realized this point; no wonder the two of them seemed so confident.

Even so, you two should be mindful of the impact. If my teaching career suffers any bad reputation because of you, Hikigaya-kun, I won't let you off the hook.

Upon hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's threat, Hachiman grabbed Yukino and ran without saying a word.

Run slowly, be careful not to fall.

Hiratsuka Shizuka shouted loudly, but in the end she was still a little worried about the two of them, so she chased after them in her high heels.

Chapter Ninety-Six: This Service Department Isn't So Clean

Well, Mr. Hubu, please sit down. There's no need to be so nervous.

Yukino looked at Hobe, who had just knocked on the door and entered the Service Department, and didn't even know where to put his hands, and said with a bit of helplessness.

What brings you here today? Hachiman leaned back lazily in his chair, looking as if all the bones in his body had been removed.

Perhaps it was because his life had been too comfortable lately, Hachiman had been feeling listless and lacking any motivation since autumn began. He spent his days lounging on the sofa like a rotting salted fish, much to Yukino's dismay.

Not only that, the guy next to him is becoming more and more addicted to his body, looking like he can't extricate himself. If it weren't for Yukino's strong stance, Hachiman would probably be even more unrestrained after tasting the flesh. His already not very strong body would probably become even more unbearable after repeated acts of lust.

Moreover, even when there were outsiders present, Hachiman still kept taking advantage of himself under the table.

This annoyed Yukino, but since Hachiman was only touching her thigh through her stockings, the girl let him do as he pleased.

The girl wouldn't say it, but at this moment, not only was there a faint feeling of restraint from the stockings on her thighs, but the warmth of Hachiman's palms was also constantly being transmitted to her delicate skin, giving Yukino a warmth unlike any she had experienced in the increasingly cool autumn breeze.

Her fingers kneaded the girl's soft, jelly-like thighs incessantly. Although Yukino looked unusually thin, she found that the girl's thighs were not as soft as Yui's, but rather quite delicate.

Perhaps sensing a hint of malice from the two people opposite him, Tobe instinctively shivered before continuing Hachiman's words.

Ah, I thought about it carefully over the weekend. I was supposed to have Hayama help me come up with ideas, but he seems to have been busy with his own things lately.

The Minister of Revenue was somewhat bewildered. After the guy who usually gave him advice disappeared, he felt as if he had lost his backbone.

So you came to us? Hachiman felt a strange urge to laugh. This guy had spent a whole weekend thinking about a solution that was just about getting someone else to give him advice.

You really trust someone you barely know? Just because I said I'd help you? You trust me so much with just that one sentence?

Hachiman thought to himself, chuckled, and then shook his head slightly.

I don't agree with the Ministry of Revenue's approach of blindly trusting others without any thought; otherwise, he would be like Yui.

Even though he was tricked by Yukino and Hachiman into signing a contract of servitude, he still acted like he had made a huge profit.

As Hachiman was thinking about these things, he instinctively turned his head to look at the naturally naive girl. Yui also turned her head in unison, her little mouth stuffed full.

It blinked its big eyes rapidly, its mouth never stopping, like a greedy rodent.

I have no one else I can ask for help.

The Minister of Revenue seemed a little embarrassed, clutching his hairline tightly at the back of his head.

Well, so our mission suddenly changed from being a logistics support force to being the main force?

There's nothing I can do about it. If even you guys don't help me, I really don't know what to do.

Completely blinded by hormones, the Minister of Revenue was more pathetic than ever before.

Hachiman sighed almost imperceptibly. Judging from Hobe's current behavior, the outcome of his confession was destined to be tragic.

If that's the case, then so be it, but I'll make this clear upfront.

Our job is simply to analyze and offer suggestions; if we fail, it's not our fault.

Hachiman's blunt remark brought Hobe back to his senses.

After thinking it over carefully for a while, the Minister of Revenue, inexplicably filled with confidence, said nonchalantly: Don't worry, I will definitely not blame you.

Hey! Are you acting like you're the male protagonist of a light novel? What gives you such strong confidence?! Hachiman looked at Tobe, who was just an ordinary high school boy, and his lips twitched.

Even after racking my brains, I couldn't find anything different about the guy in front of me.

Did he find out that Ebina likes effeminate men? Hachiman looked at the guy in front of him with malice.

You should know what Ebina's hobbies are, right?

Her hobbies? Aren't they just like any other girl's? Without Hayama, the Ministry of Revenue is like a blind man, completely unable to gather information.

Well... that's not wrong.

Hachiman barely suppressed a laugh.

According to what I heard from Yuihama, Ebina prefers seeing male-male interactions to her own.

Hachiman rolled his eyes. Whenever he talked to Hayama or Saika, he would inexplicably feel like he was being pricked by needles.

Turning around, he saw Ebina staring intently at him.

In particular, on several occasions, Ebina saw Hachiman and Saika alone in a place where no one else was around, and Saika's face was flushed.

However, Ebina would faint from a nosebleed due to sheer bliss. After this happened several times, the teachers in the school health room started giving Hachiman strange looks.

What is this? Hubu was a little confused. Being a completely straight man, he had no idea about this new world.

It's nothing, it's nothing important.

Hachiman shrugged, suddenly realizing that the guy in front of him, just like himself, was also perceived by Ebina as something bad.

Especially when the sunny, handsome guy, the soccer team, and several other men are constantly hanging out together.

What kind of script would be created if these words were strung together by a fujoshi? Just thinking about it makes Hachiman's anus tighten, his body tremble, his legs shake, and he almost want to run away.

He glanced at Hobu with pity, completely unaware of the terrifying beast lurking beneath Hime's sweet appearance.

Even if Hina were to change her mind due to the butterfly effect, the innocent Tobe would probably still be no match for Hina, who has mastered all the books.

I don't know if the training the football club provides will help you overcome your prostate issues.

Hachiman had long since abandoned all sense of decency.

Ah, I have to go now, the soccer team still needs to practice.

The Ministry of Revenue sat there for a while, but he kept feeling a chill down his spine because of all sorts of campus ghost stories.

The Ministry of Revenue always felt that something was not quite right in the Ministry of Service, so he made up an excuse and ran away.
