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

"Are you and him close?" Hachiman asked curiously, looking at the expression on Heike Shizuka's face.

Well, to put it simply, I became a teacher at Zongwu High School largely because of him.

If it weren't for him, I don't even know if I could have gotten through that period.

During that time? Hachiman tried to get something out of Hiratsuka Shizuka, after all, he was still very curious about the woman's experiences.

What could possibly motivate Shizuka Heike to willingly become a teacher at a school, given that the annual salary from this job is barely enough to cover her beloved skincare routine?

Well, these are all things from the past. Why bring them up? The most important thing in life is to look forward.

Shizuka Heike casually waved her hand, putting on an inspiring look.

Hachiman stared at Taira no Shizuka with a cold expression, as if she were looking at an idiot.

Students passing by also looked on curiously, seemingly eager to know what the two people were doing.

Pingjia Shizuka, who was standing still, wanted to find a place to linger. After regaining her senses, she quickly covered her face with her laptop bag and ran away as fast as she could.

Hey.

Is this still the Shizuka-sensei I know? Hachiman watched as she ran wildly, not even looking where she was going, constantly crashing into people's houses. Was she going through early menopause and her IQ dropping? Silently looking at the suitcase lying on the ground, Hachiman wondered to himself.

After stuffing the tablet into his suitcase, Hachiman took the suitcase that Shizuka Heike had left behind, intending to put it in his room and wait for Shizuka Heike, who had the accommodation form, to come and get it herself.

I followed a group of people dressed in Soubu High School uniforms to the front desk, and after stating my name, I received the key.

Looking around and finding no one else as alone as himself, Hachiman sighed. Without Yukino and Yui by his side, he felt like he had returned to his old self.

~Hey~ Isn't this Hachiman Hikigaya-kun?

A familiar voice came from behind him, and just as Hachiman was about to turn around, someone put their arm around his shoulder.

Hey~ Hachiman, why are you all here alone? Where are the other two?

The flamboyant Hobu hooked his arm around Hachiman's shoulder and spoke as if they were old friends.

Hachiman tensed up completely, after all, in all his years of life, he had never had any intimate contact with any other person of the same sex except for Saika.

Suppressing the urge to slap the guy next to him to death, Hachiman pretended to turn around and shake off Tobe's arm.

Oh, it's the Ministry of Revenue.

Hachiman, whose mouth was faster than his eyes, paused for a moment after turning around completely, because he saw Saika, dressed in autumn clothes, waving at him.

Hachiman blushed slightly, then continued greeting the Zaiyama...Ayato family.

Hachiman relaxed after saying that, since he almost called out Saika's name. However, Hachiman keenly noticed that Hayama's expression changed noticeably after he called out Saika's surname.

Hachiman leaned closer and asked Hayama in a barely audible voice, "What's wrong? Why did your expression change when you saw the Toke family?"

Ye Shan's lips twitched, as if he didn't want to answer the question.

But then he remembered that he would need this guy's help later, so he could only speak with a humiliated expression.

I wasn't with her during the cultural festival.

Pshaw, did we rehearse for a long time? Now every time I see him, I'm reminded of the scene from back then.

Hayama's complexion is quite poor, although Ayaka's appearance is indeed quite cute.

However, after rehearsing together for a month, there would always be times when both of them needed to urinate at the same time.

At that time, Ayaka was wearing high heels and a short skirt, standing next to her.

She even lifted her skirt right in front of him... Even now, every time Hayama sees Saika, he recalls that scene and his sanity plummets.

The little angel, who was laughing unusually cheerfully to the side, had no idea how much psychological trauma she had caused Hayama back then. She was just happy to greet Hachiman.

Hachiman, there are some things I can't say right now because there are so many people around.

I'll come to your room tonight, and you can help me think of a solution.

After Hayama finished speaking, he glanced at Hachiman's room number and went to the front desk to collect his room key.

Hey~ Hachiman, have you come up with an idea yet? I'm planning to start tomorrow.

Kebu leaned closer and whispered to Hachiman.

Ah~ Hikigaya-kun—you must have thought it through. I'll come find you tonight and explain to you in detail what I should do.

Kebu patted Hachiman on the shoulder and followed Hayama over.

Ayaka's soft, sweet voice came over, making Hachiman shiver involuntarily.

I'm going to get my room key now, see you later.

Saika glanced furtively at Hachiman's room number, then smiled and said goodbye to him.

See you later.

Hachiman was so captivated by the little angel's smile that he didn't notice Saika's little actions and laughed as he said goodbye to him.

Having found his room, Hachiman opened the door and went inside. After looking around, he nodded in satisfaction.

Hachiman tossed aside his and Shizuka's luggage and began to plan what to do next.

Chapter 104 The Generous Yukino

Ring ring.

Hachiman was lying on his bed, pretending to be a salted fish, when his phone rang.

Struggling to get up, I picked it up and stared blankly at the screen.

Seeing Yukino's name displayed on the screen, he smiled and pressed the answer button.

What are you doing? I'll be there soon, come out and meet me, okay?

Yukino's voice was soft, as if she didn't want the students next to her to hear what she was saying.

Hachiman simply closed his eyes and listened to Yukino's voice without responding.

"What's wrong with you?" Yukino asked, puzzled as to why Hachiman wasn't answering her.

It's nothing, I just missed you.

Hachiman spoke shamelessly, showing no embarrassment whatsoever for his blunt words of love.

"Eh, what are you saying? It's only been six or seven hours, how come you already miss me..." Yukino blushed at Hachiman's words and stammered.

Six or seven hours is a long time, considering we haven't been apart for more than half an hour since you moved in.

Hachiman imagined the expression on the girl's face at that moment, and judging from her tone, she must be unusually delicate.

Shut up, don't say anything.

I'll be there in a few minutes, come down and pick me up.

After Yukino finished speaking, she hung up the phone without giving Hachiman a chance to speak again. Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Hachiman smiled contentedly.

After all, someone like Yukino is not only beautiful, but also has a wonderful voice, high emotional intelligence and IQ, and is also very good at cooking and other housework.

Ignoring his body's constant signals that it needed rest due to the long journey, Hachiman rolled out of bed, stretched, and slowly strolled around.

Looking around the hotel, Hachiman was quite impressed with the school's generosity.

There were no instances of students living together to save money, although Soubu High School had a relatively small number of students compared to other schools due to its higher deviation score.

However, because single rooms were booked for each student for the school trip, the cost was actually much higher than that of other schools.

After all, most students nowadays are only children and are not used to spending time with their peers in such a private room.

What if the guy you're assigned to grinds his teeth or snores?

The habit of showing off farts can easily lead to conflicts.

Not to mention someone like Yui who likes to sleep naked. Even if multiple people live in one room, they are all of the same sex, but it still adds a lot of unnecessary expenses to the school.

As Hachiman pondered this in his heart, he made his decision.

After all, although the admission qualifications for myself and Yukiman were obtained from the Yukinoshita family, the quota was still a quota for Soubu High School.

However, the strong-willed Yukino didn't intend to rely on the guaranteed admission; she wanted to get into university based on her own abilities. Therefore, Yukino transferred her spot to Yui.

Hachiman couldn't help but complain when he thought about it. If others knew that what he desperately wanted was so disliked by a girl, he would probably be tempted to draw his sword and kill someone. Bored out of his mind, Hachiman sat on the sofa near the front desk, waiting for Yukino to arrive.

Are there no good mobile games lately? Why are there so many games featuring ships, cars, and planets?

Holy crap, they even have rice? Have the Japanese become so indiscriminate in their food choices these days? Looking at all the various hentai characters pushed by the app, Hachiman suddenly felt a sense of despair.

What are you doing, so engrossed in it?

Suddenly, Yukino's cold voice came from beside him, and Hachiman was so startled that he almost threw his phone away. He hurriedly tried to cover the screen so that Yukino wouldn't see it.

Hey~ Yukino snatched it away quickly, sliding her delicate white fingers up and down.

"Hmph~" Yukino looked at the page above and gave Hachiman a mischievous smile before saying, "You can actually get aroused by this kind of virtual stuff? I really don't understand what you're thinking."

She tossed the phone to Hachiman; Yukino seemed completely oblivious to the situation.

It's not what you think.

Hachiman rolled his eyes, his face full of helplessness.

Oh, I have no problem with you playing these games; they're just virtual data anyway.

There's just one thing to note.

Yukino paused, seemingly thinking about how to choose her words.

Take care of yourself.

Yukino patted Hachiman on the shoulder and walked towards the front desk.

Staring blankly at Yukino's retreating figure, Hachiman felt extremely wronged.

He couldn't even afford to pay his grain tax, so the government wouldn't accept it. Why would he indulge himself in such things? However, Yukino didn't care about any of that. She thought that if Hachiman had this hobby, she would let him be.

It also saves her from feeling nauseous all the time. And she throws away stockings one pair after another. This thrifty girl has been thinking about this for a long time.

At these times, Hachiman would always say, "If you had a figure as good as Yui's, would I still waste it?" Then Yukino would go berserk and subject Hachiman to all sorts of inhumane trampling.

The screams that followed Hachiman prompted his neighbor, Yumiji, to call the police. After several visits, the police finally lost their patience and issued a stern warning to the two.

However, this did not make Yukino let this bitch off the hook. After that, something called insulating black tape appeared on the Hachiman family's purchase order.
