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

Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Mask

Hey Xiaoqi, do you think the Ministry of Revenue will ultimately succeed?

As soon as the Ministry of Revenue left, Yui snuggled up to Hachiman and asked him all sorts of gossipy questions.

What would your reaction be if this guy suddenly came up to you and confessed his love?

Hachiman said calmly.

Hmm, although Mr. Tobu is usually quite nice, I don't think he's really a good match for me.

Yui thought about it seriously for a long time before finally saying those words.

See, this is the standard way a girl rejects a suitor.

Hachiman turned to Yukino and said.

Even Yui, who was tricked by you into signing a life-long contract of servitude, wouldn't be this stupid, let alone that guy who looks much smarter than Yui.

Hey! Little Qi, that's going too far.

They're not stupid.

Yui protested in dissatisfaction.

Okay, you're not stupid, you're a goddess, Aqua the goddess.

Hachiman casually fooled Yui.

The girl thought Hachiman was praising her, so she immediately reverted to her silly expression and laughed like a person with dementia.

You see, if we compare Yui's intelligence to Aqua's, then Himeko is like Ai Haibara.

Hachiman made a vivid analogy, and Yukino nodded in understanding instantly.

Looking at the bewildered girl, Yukino felt that Hachiman was absolutely right.

What are you two talking about? I don't understand a word of it.

Can't we speak in a way that everyone can understand? Aren't you two modern people? Yui felt that the reason she had been losing hair lately was because of the way these two people spoke. Sometimes, even if these two guys only had a simple conversation, she would spend several minutes analyzing it.

Let's look at the person in charge of the Ministry of Revenue from another angle and talk about our first impressions of her.

I found him very noisy and lacking in manners.

Yukino hit the nail on the head.

"Hmm, Yui, what about you?" Hachiman asked the girl after writing down these two characteristics in his notebook.

Hmm~, when I first saw Hubu in my first year of high school, he was already with Hayama. He must be cheerful.

Yui hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.

Cheerful? Actually, it's just noisy, to put it nicely.

Hachiman waved his hand, considering this a repetition.

Let me explain. I've been observing him ever since he tried to commission me, and now I've come to some conclusions.

Hachiman cleared his throat and began to speak.

Let's start with appearance, since that's the first thing people notice when interacting with each other.

Judging from his popularity among girls, although he can't compare to Hayama, he's still quite popular compared to the average person.

Next, let's analyze his usual behavior.

The most distinctive characteristic of the person in charge of the Ministry of Revenue was that he spoke in a very frivolous manner, but it was not a malicious act. This can be considered a characteristic.

However, if this characteristic is removed, this person's presence will be reduced to that of a passerby.

As for interpersonal relationships, he is currently a member of the Soubu High School soccer club and has a good friendship with the club president, Hayato Hayama.

This led to the introduction of Miura Yumiko, Ebina Hina, and Isshiki... Hachiman suddenly paused, thinking that his quirky junior had not yet interacted with these people.

Isshiki? I don't think I've ever heard of anyone with that surname before.

Yui was a little confused, because with her personality, which made her a beauty from all walks of life, she could become friends with others with just one indirect connection.

Of course you wouldn't know her; she's a first-grader.

Yukino glanced at Hachiman, looking at him with a warning in her eyes.

Is she a girl?

Yui was somewhat dissatisfied, instinctively believing that these two had done something behind her back again.

Yes, she's not only a girl, but she's also quite pretty, and every time she sees someone, she keeps calling him "senpai, senpai~".

Yukino said with a jealous look on her face, as if the guy who suddenly appeared and shamelessly lingered in front of her, trying to steal her man, was right in front of her.

What are you doing? When Hachiman saw Yukino's sudden expression, he knew that the girl in front of him was inexplicably jealous again.

He leaned close to Yukino's ear and quietly licked the girl's glistening earlobe before speaking slowly.

"You're not going to forbid me from having any contact with other girls in the future, are you?" Hachiman slowly scraped his tongue against Yukino's ear, causing the girl to lean weakly against Hachiman's chest.

What? Is that not allowed? Believe me or not, I won't even let you leave the house from now on.

Yukino's voice was hoarse, as if she was suppressing something.

Weren't we just talking about the Ministry of Revenue? How come you two are together again? There's plenty of time at home! Yui was very annoyed; these two were flirting without including her.

In Yui's mind, it was an extremely shameful thing that she was already a second-year high school student and had not yet had her virginity taken.

Sighing in frustration at the fact that the two people in front of her were completely ignoring her, she got up and slammed the door of the Service Department shut.

After doing all that, Yui reached into her schoolbag and took out a few oranges that she had casually taken from Hachiman's house, and slowly began to peel them.

cough.

Hachiman coughed and was about to speak when something was stuffed into his mouth.

Little Qi, try it, it's quite sweet.

Yui put the saliva off her fingers along with the orange into her mouth and said to Hachiman, who was instinctively chewing.

Yes, that's pretty good. I'll continue.

Actually, all of the previous things are irrelevant. The key to confessing your feelings is the feelings of the person being confessed to.

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

Hmm....

Yui cupped her cheeks in her hands.

"It's like if I proposed to you right now, would you say yes?" Hachiman patted the girl's dango.

Hehehe, definitely.

Yui closed her eyes comfortably as Hachiman patted her head, and even rubbed against Hachiman's body.

Yukino rolled her eyes, thinking that marriage was definitely not going to happen to her, otherwise her older sister and parents would definitely tear these two apart.

Therefore, Yukino was completely fearless. With the methods of the Yukino family, it was far too easy for one or two ordinary people to disappear without a trace and only be found in Tokyo Bay several years later.

That's why I said the Ministry of Revenue would be in a very tragic situation this time.

Hachiman's tone carried an unquestionable air.

Because, I suddenly remembered something Hina once said to me.

After removing his mask, Hachiman smiled and continued, "She once told me that we were both people who wore masks."

Therefore, the only thing we need to consider is helping the Ministry of Revenue collect the corpses.

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Scheming Yui

Why did you bring so much stuff to school today? Yukino looked at Yui and Hachiman, who was carrying a small pink suitcase, with a blank expression.

Hehe, Xiaoxue and Xiaoqi have a car to take them to school every day, right? I thought about it and realized that if I came to school by myself tomorrow, I would have to carry my luggage for such a long time and I would be exhausted. So I decided to stay at Xiaoqi's house instead.

Yui plopped down in the chair.

"Did your aunt agree?" Yukino asked.

Ah~ As soon as I mentioned going to Xiaoxue's house, my mom readily agreed.

Yui nodded, and casually took out various snacks from her bulging backpack, spreading them across half of the table.

Ha ha.

After putting his suitcase down, Hachiman walked to the table, but was stunned as he was about to sit down.

Why are there only two chairs left? Where is the other one? Hachiman looked around, only to find that the other old tables and chairs that had been placed in the Service Club were also gone.

I'm not sure. Teacher Jing just came over and said that it seems the school's desks and chairs were deliberately damaged by outsiders, so they can only use the old desks as a temporary substitute. After all, even if they order new ones, it will take some time.

Yukino shrugged, indicating that she was powerless to help.

Huh? Who would be so bored as to go to a school and cause trouble?

Hachiman was immediately furious. "You can't cause destruction like this! It's just harming others without benefiting yourself."

The person has been caught, hasn't he?

The school found the person just a few hours after reporting it to the police, but the person seemed to have some mental illness and had no idea what they had done.

Yukino rolled her eyes and then said.

Hey... what kind of situation is this?

Hachiman clicked his tongue, thinking to himself how unlucky he was.

Have things been going too smoothly lately? Damn life always seems to be creating trouble for itself.

Ms. Hiratsuka said that this was the best-case scenario; it was just some financial loss, which the school didn't care about, as it was better than the students getting hurt.

No, what I'm concerned about now is whether I'm going to stand here for two hours.

There are chairs in the classroom, just go and get one, and put it back when you leave.

Yukino said calmly, not understanding why he had to bring up such a trivial matter.

Hachiman rolled his eyes. If he really just wanted a seat, he would have turned around and run to find one the moment he saw that his chair wasn't there.
