Chapter 115 On Unrequited Love, [Himekoji Haruto] Chooses the Wry Side

The person he likes, should I say it's Yoko-nee? He definitely likes Yoko-nee a lot. Two people who like each other, have slept together, but are not dating. Such a strange relationship. She is like a teacher and student, and also like an aunt and niece. They should be lovers, but they maintain an interesting distance. She is a really fascinating woman.

However, this also means that he has many admirers.

"Haha, it's a little awkward, but I'll talk about it anyway, what's wrong with that?" Hubu continued to pester everyone to share, and when no one responded, he said as if talking to himself, "I... am actually quite interested in Ebina."

He didn't say he liked it, just that he was quite interested. But the guy got shy when talking about these things.

But most girls would be more direct and say, "I like XXX," and sometimes they would even speak first, so that other people with the same intentions wouldn't be able to say it.

"Hey, really?"

"Hikigaya exclaimed in surprise."

"Huh? Oh, Hachiman, you were listening. I thought you were asleep."

"Hmm... To be honest, I thought you liked Miura."

"Let's forget about that, it's too terrifying, I wouldn't know where to begin."

"Haruto-kun, what you said...?"

Influenced by the atmosphere, Hayama could no longer pretend to be asleep and began to open his eyes to ask Himekoji a question.

"Yes, yes, President Himekoji is quite a mystery. There are always various rumors about her, but there's never any confirmed news!"

"The person I like... Sigh—, if we're talking about this, I really want to mention Daphne Borgia."

Himekoji brought up her mother's name, which was hers before she married into the family. Later, she added the surname Himekoji to it, and from then on, she called herself Himekoji Daphne. In Japan, she rarely mentioned her surname Borgia anymore.

"Huh? Who's that? A foreigner?"

"I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before..." Hayama frowned in thought, while Hachiman also fell into deep thought. Where had he heard it before? It didn't seem like it was this name. Hayama scratched his head and muttered, "It sounds like someone really famous..."

"Well, I was just kidding, don't mind that name."

It's likely that Hayama has heard of the name his mother used before, and if we continue talking about it, it might lead to some awkward situations. It's better to let Yoko-nee come out at this point.

"Then just tell us! Keeping us in suspense is so frustrating!!"

Are you really that interested?

"Yeah! I'm really interested. President Himekoji, you're right at the center of all the scandals!"

So Himekoji planned to invite Yoko-neechan out, but actually he wanted to say it was Hiratsuka Shizuka.

However, if Himekoji's mother were to answer this question, she would say: "If you had asked me this question before I got married, I would have given you a lot of answers, so many names that you would get dizzy from remembering them all. But now, I only have one answer: Himekoji Naoto."

So her teaching of Himekoji about love was the same—Veni, vidi, vici! (I come, I witness, I conquer!), if you're interested, just love boldly. (Another account says she almost named Himekoji "Himekoji César").

Of course, love and marriage are absolutely two different things!

"But I don't really want to say it..."

"The first letter, the first letter of the name is also fine!"

"Regardless of the surname, if we only talk about the first name, the first letter is Y."

Himekoji said maliciously, which startled Hayato Hayama.

Because if we consider only the given name, regardless of the surname, then Touma Youko is indeed Youko.

However, if the question were asked about the first letter of the name of the person she likes rather than the girl she likes, Himekoji would definitely answer "S" without hesitation! (ShidouMariya is pronounced as "ShidouMariya" in this context.)

“Y...? Y?!” Tobe exclaimed, then turned to Hikigaya and asked, “What about you guys? Even President Himekoji has spoken, so why don’t you say something too, even though he didn’t give a definite answer.”

"Girls I like...girls...it seems like there aren't any I particularly like."

Upon hearing Totsuka's words, the ahoge (cowlick) on Hikigaya's head seemed to immediately become stiff and straight.

So the Ministry of Revenue skipped over Hikigaya and asked Hayama again.

"Well then, tell me, Hayato!"

"I... never mind, don't ask me."

Ye Shan didn't want to lie, but he also didn't want to answer the question. Ji Xiaolu opened his eyes and stared at him in the darkness, Ye Shan's gaze darting away.

"Hey, Hayato! This won't do! There must be something, right? Tell me quickly, don't try to cover it up!"

"....well."

"Even the first letter is acceptable!"

"First letter...Y".

"Y...? Y?! Why are they all Y's?! Hey, what's going on?!"

"That's enough, go to sleep now."

Ye Shan said somewhat angrily, feeling as if he had been seen through when he met Himekoji's gaze. He was afraid that Himekoji already knew about him.

Y: yukinoshita yukino, yukinoshita haruno, yuigahama yui

However, if we disregard the surname, Miura Yumiko is simply Yumiko. It can be said that Hayama Hayato's move was incredibly skillful, and Himekoji was somewhat impressed by him. Himekoji's use of the letter Y was enough for them to guess Yukino Yukinoshita, Yui Yuigahama, and Miura Yumiko. However, they were wrong because he was referring to Yoko.

"Aaaaaah!! If I have insomnia tonight, it's definitely your two fault!"

Seeing that Ye Shan was no longer responding, Hu Bu scratched his head in frustration, probably thinking about it all night.

"Then you can think about it slowly, I'm going to sleep now."

After playing a trick on them, Himekoji turned over and went to sleep.

But it wasn't just Kebu who couldn't sleep tonight; Hayama and Hikigaya were also having a very hard time getting some rest.

Hachiman stared blankly into the void for a long time in the silent darkness.

Who exactly is the "Y" that Himekoji and Hayama mentioned?

Several possibilities flashed through my mind, including those three people, but the most likely one was only that one person.

An indescribable sense of complexity swirled within him, and even when everyone else had fallen silent, he still couldn't fall asleep.

Hachiman went out at night and met Yukinoshita singing in a very soft voice in the woods. Yukinoshita explained a little about herself and Hayama, but only about the fact that they went to the same elementary school. However, the clever Hachiman could easily guess what had happened based on what had happened that day.

However, because he spent a little too long gazing at the stars and thinking about the people Hayama and Himekoji liked, Hachiman didn't sleep well and couldn't be woken up the next morning.

"There's really no other way, let's go first, otherwise Ms. Hiratsuka will come and call for help."

After calling Hikigaya several times without success, Hayama shook his head with his hands on his hips and said...

PS: Seventh update, please give me some criticism.

Chapter 116 On Proficiency: [Himekoji Haruto] Far Surpasses Ordinary People

"Then I'll leave it to you, Totsuka. Anyway, going there early in the morning will probably involve physical labor," Himekoji gestured to Totsuka, who was still fast asleep, and said, "You should rest first."

"Ah... okay, um! I'll help wake Hachiman up!"

Totsuka hesitated for a moment, then immediately responded with a smile.

So the three of them, Himeko and Kei, left together. Along the way, Keiko yawned several times, and Hayama seemed a little sleepy and not very energetic. Himeko, on the other hand, was full of energy. She stretched and stretched her back a few times, making cracking sounds in her joints, and then they left together to wash up first.

"morning..."

Upon arriving at the meeting place, Yumiko, whose eyes were slightly swollen, greeted everyone listlessly.

"Good morning, Yumiko. What's wrong? You don't look very energetic."

“Hayato…” Yumiko turned to look at Yukinoshita, whose face was calm, and shook her head, saying, “It’s nothing, I’m sorry to have worried you. I’m just not used to sleeping here.”

"Really? That's great."

Good morning, everyone.

Himekoji greeted everyone.

"Yes, good morning to Himekoji-kun as well."

"Good morning... Seeing you so early in the morning really casts a shadow over my heart."

Snow calmly uttered highly ironic words.

Do I look that gloomy?!

"You look like you've pulled off a smug plot. Ugh—it gives me goosebumps. Did you spy on the girls' dormitory last night? Or did you happen to run into a lone elementary school girl and do something to her that would put you in jail for years?"

Yukino immediately crossed her arms and rubbed her arms together, looking disgusted.

"...It's good that the conspiracy succeeded, but I have no interest in spying."

Ji Xiaolu was both amused and exasperated. What was this peeping about? If you want to look, just look openly! When my mom paints my maids' bodies, they look as natural as if they're lying on the beach under a sun umbrella drinking a cold drink.

Ah, it's such a mistake not to learn to paint properly. If I ever have a son, I'll definitely make him learn to paint from his mom first! Then, if I want to see a girl I like naked, I can just say seriously, "I want to paint you as Venus, a painting of you seemingly asleep." (Sleeping Venus is a very famous nude oil painting, depicting the beauty of Venus reclining on a piece of cloth in the mountains.)

Damn! (Chinese and Japanese bilingual) Why didn't I study drawing properly back then?!

"Well, who knows? That's what criminals always say at first... Waaah—"

Yukinoshita covered her mouth, turned her head away, and yawned.

"You didn't sleep well either?"

"It's nothing, don't worry about it. I'm just being vigilant to prevent you from spying on me."

"Just how suspicious do I have to be...?"

"If you go out on the street with a girl, you'll definitely get caught by the police and questioned, and they'll also check your ID to see how suspicious it is."

"...Yukinoshita, did you take some gunpowder today?"

"Alright, alright, you guys over there, come here! Huh? By the way, where's Hachiman?"

Just as she was about to distribute breakfast, Hiratsuka Shizuka greeted everyone. Now, Hikigaya and Totsuka were still missing from the hall. Could it be that the two of them were doing something unspeakable during this time?

"We couldn't wake Hachiman no matter what we tried, so we left Totsuka there to try and wake him while we came over," Himekoji said, shrugging. "We figured if anything else happened, the few of us could handle it."

"Well—the arrangements are alright. Oh, here they come."
