Lin Qianshu was going to explain Japanese law to Hachiman Hikigaya, since he didn't want his source of willpower points to be used for pork chop rice.
"That's my sister..."
Oh? Is that how it is? Haha, how embarrassing.
Lin Qianshu blinked, not expecting that such a cute girl would actually be Hachiman's sister. Seriously, the difference in appearance between you two siblings is just too great, isn't it? Apart from the hair color, you can't see any resemblance at all.
Anyway, Lin Qianshu found it hard to look at the dead fish eyes in front of him... wait, Lin Qianshu suddenly narrowed his eyes, then used his fingers to block his eyes, which just happened to cover Hachiman's eyes.
Hiss... Lin Qianshu finally understands why people say the eyes are the windows to the soul. On Hachiman, it's more than just windows to the soul; he's like a completely different person.
Have you considered buying a pair of sunglasses to wear?
"what?"
Hikigaya didn't understand why Lin Qianshu was suddenly saying this. He was about to say something when he noticed that a boy in a stand-up collar uniform was standing next to his sister.
"Sorry, I have to leave for a moment."
There was no time to understand what Lin Qianshu was trying to say. Hikigaya had to immediately find out the name, age, address, and family background of the brat next to Komachi and then isolate and disinfect him.
Lin Qianshu watched as Hikigaya stormed toward the cashier and soon returned with the beautiful girl he had just seen, accompanied by a somewhat reserved and shy young boy.
"This is my younger sister, Komachi Hikigaya, and this is Chiki Hayashi." Hikigaya introduced the two in a very formal and routine manner.
However, he seemed to have forgotten something, or perhaps deliberately ignored it?
Is she trying to use passive-aggressive behavior to make the boy next to her leave?
Regardless, Lin Qianshu immediately activated her emotional perception.
Please, he really wants to know how Hachiman is feeling right now!
Of course, Lin Qianshu didn't forget to stand up and greet Hachiman's sister.
"Hello, I am your brother's friend, Lin Qianshu. Please take care of me."
"On the other hand, I never expected my brother to have friends. In fact, it must have been hard for you to be friends with my brother. Please take good care of this silly brother of yours in the future!"
While speaking, Hikigaya Komachi solemnly bowed halfway to Hayashi Chiki, a gesture that made Hikigaya Hachiman, the older brother standing beside her, feel somewhat uneasy.
No, is it something shameful to be friends with yourself?
So, I'm already considered a friend by Lin Qianshu? Before, in the club, I thought he treated me like a digital pet.
"Please sit down, Hachiman."
"Hmm?"
The brother and sister responded at the same time, then looked at each other, and Komachi Hachiman took the initiative to step forward and say, "Just call me Komachi."
Hachiman Hikigaya objected, protectively saying, "Just call me Hachiman."
Lin Qianshu completely ignored Hikigaya Hachiman and smiled at Komachi, saying, "Then, Komachi-senpai, and this gentleman beside you is..."
"Ah, my name is Kawasaki Taishi. Hello, senior. Please take care of me!" Kawasaki Taishi quickly introduced himself when he saw Lin Qianshu looking at him.
"Hello Kawasaki, just call me Lin Qianshu, or if you really don't like it, call me senior. Your uniform should be from junior high, right?"
"Tsk." Hu Shi Gu made an annoyed "tsk," it was unclear whether it was directed at Lin Qian Shu, Kawasaki Taishi, or both.
In short, Hachiman Hikigaya was unusually aggressive today.
Chapter 31 Hachiman never imagined this day would come so soon.
Everyone took their seats, and the Hikigaya siblings naturally sat together, while Lin Qianshu sat opposite the siblings with Kawasaki Taishi.
"So you met at the cram school?" Lin Qianshu inquired about Kawasaki Taishi and Komachi with great interest.
Meanwhile, Hachiman was already trying to figure out how to persuade his parents to switch his younger sister to a safer tutoring center.
Ideally, they should all be girls!
"Speaking of which, are you two here at the family restaurant for a study session?" Lin Qianshu asked.
Hachiman stopped his dangerous fantasies and listened carefully.
“Hmm…” Komachi hesitated for a moment, then looked at Kawasaki Taishi as if seeking his opinion.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked at it; once he did, it completely shattered Hachiman Hikigaya's composure.
As the emotions surging around Hachiman Hikigaya gradually turned into darkness, he was about to lose control.
To prevent a tragedy from occurring, Lin Qianshu quickly said to Kawasaki Taishi, "Is it inconvenient to say?"
"It's not that it's inconvenient, it's just some family matters," Kawasaki Taishi hesitated for a moment, seemingly sensing danger as he answered.
"Speaking of family matters, Kawasaki Taishi, you don't have an older sister, do you?"
The surname Kawasaki is not uncommon, but Kawasaki Taishi's light blue hair inevitably reminded Lin Qianshu of a classmate.
“Yes, my older sister is a second-year student at Soubu High School. In fact, what I wanted to talk to Komachi about is related to her,” Kawasaki Taishi nodded.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianshu suddenly gave a name: "Kawasaki Saki?"
Kawasaki Taishi looked surprised. "Senpai, do you know my older sister?"
“We are classmates,” Lin Qianshu replied.
"Who?" Hachiman Hikigaya clearly had no recollection of anyone. Rather, apart from Chiki Hayashi and Yui Hama, and the other members of the group whose presence was so strong that he had to pay attention to them, he knew almost nothing about the other people in the class.
Hikigaya Komachi clearly knew her brother's personality, so she wasn't surprised at all.
Compared to that, what surprised Komachi more was that her brother was able to make a normal friend like Lin Qianshu.
"Could you tell us if it's convenient? Hikigaya and I are both in the school's Service Club, so we might be able to help." Lin Qianshu said enthusiastically.
If you ask where this enthusiasm comes from... it's naturally because he saw the gray exclamation mark above Kawasaki Taishi's head.
Although it's just a gray-level wish request that only gives a little wish power, the difficulty of gray-level requests is low, so it doesn't hurt to listen to it. You might as well try your luck a couple of times, right?
Besides, she's the other person's older sister and also my classmate, so there's nothing wrong with helping her out.
Kawasaki Taishi hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Lin Qianshu didn't seem like a bad person, and was his sister's classmate and Komachi's friend, he said, "My sister... may have become a delinquent."
Is this how it's going to unfold?
Lin Qianshu didn't say much, but instead asked seriously, "Could you explain the basis of your judgment?"
“Well… lately my sister has been coming home very late and doesn’t listen to our parents at all. No matter what I say to her, she just gets angry and says it has nothing to do with me…” Kawasaki Taishi said slowly, his head down.
Seeing the boy's turbulent emotions, Lin Qianshu knew that what the other person said was true, and that he couldn't think of any other way.
Seeing this, Komachi nudged her brother with her elbow and whispered, "What is the Service Club?"
“A club that helps others solve problems,” Hachiman Hikigaya replied in the same volume.
Are you a member of the club too?
"Yes."
When answering "yes," Hachiman Hikigaya seemed unusually proud, as if he were saying to Komachi, "Look, your brother has joined the club too."
"In that case, why don't you help Kawasaki?"
Hikigaya Hachiman wants to quit the club.
He had thought that one day his sister might beg him for help from another man, but he never expected that day to come so soon!
"I understand, I'll keep an eye out for you later." Lin Qianshu nodded to indicate that she understood the situation, and then comforted her, "It's not necessarily that she's gone bad. Maybe your sister just has her own things to do? After all, I think Kawasaki is quite attentive in class. What delinquent would be attentive in class?"
In reality, Lin Qianshu had not paid any attention to Kawasaki Saki; he was only saying this now to reassure Kawasaki Taishi not to worry too much.
As expected, after hearing Lin Qianshu's words, Kawasaki Taishi's expression improved considerably, and his gaze towards Lin Qianshu became exceptionally friendly, even... a little bit admiring.
"Hachiman and I came to the family restaurant for a study session. Would you like to come along? If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or Hachiman," Lin Qianshu said.
"Although Komachi really wanted to stay and join the study session, unfortunately, she has to go to cram school next."
"Oh, okay? Then hurry up and don't be late."
Hikigaya Komachi and Kawasaki Taishi left the family restaurant.
"What do you think?" Hachiman asked. "Coming home late at night, parents having a bad relationship, getting angry even when his own brother asks. One or two is fine, but suddenly all of them together, doesn't it look like they've turned into delinquents?"
"No investigation, no right to speak. By the way, aren't there a lot of acquaintances here today?"
As Lin Qianshu spoke, he stood up and waved towards the door.
Two beautiful young women pushed open the restaurant door. One of them, a girl with pink hair, noticed Lin Qianshu's actions and quickly tugged at the black-haired girl next to her as if saying something. Then, the black-haired girl also looked in Lin Qianshu's direction.
Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama never expected to run into Chiki Hayashi here, and it seems that Chiki Hayashi is not the only one.
"Hikiya's here too?" Yui Yuigahama came to the two of them with a surprised expression on her face, seemingly genuinely surprised that Hikigaya was also present.
"Hello." Hikigaya greeted Yuihama and Yukinoshita.
Seeing the books on the table, Yuihama asked curiously, "Are you here to study too?"
"It's obvious."
"In that case, let's do it together, Yukino, what do you say?"
Yukinoshita glanced at Hayashi Chiki and found that he had already quickly made room for her and sat down next to Hachiman.
"I don't care, it's all about studying anyway."
So the number of people at the table became four again, and the club activity, which had been terminated due to school arrangements, was unexpectedly restarted in a family restaurant.
Of course, today's club activity was still 'studying'.
Chapter 32 This is a tip
"Um... Lin Qianshu, where do we insert the coin?"
Yukino Yukinoshita was holding a 500 yen coin in her hand. She carefully examined the vending machine for a while, but couldn't find the coin slot. In desperation, she asked Chiki Hayashi next to her for help.
"Huh?" Lin Qianshu was full of questions. A coin slot? What coin slot? Didn't I already pay for the 'drink bar' with the waiter?
Fortunately, Lin Qianshu reacted quickly, saying, "I really can't do anything with you, give me the coin."
Yukinoshita obediently placed the coin in Hayashi Chiki's hand and then handed him the cup in her right hand.
"What would you like to drink?" Lin Qianshu asked.
"Coffee will do," Yukinoshita replied.
Then Yukinoshita noticed that Lin Qianshu didn't insert a coin. Instead, after taking the cup, she placed it directly on the espresso machine, pressed the button, and a cup of coffee was made.
The coin under the snow was never used throughout the entire process.
"Here you go." Lin Qianshu handed the coffee to Yukinoshita, and couldn't help but laugh when he saw her hesitant expression.
"So you don't need to insert coins, right?" Yukinoshita was very clever; after Hayashi Chiki demonstrated it once, she had completely understood everything.
"Yes."
"Then here are my coins."
"A tip, isn't that reasonable?"
Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent. Fortunately, it was only 500 yen, which was nothing to the rich girl Yukinoshita Yukino. She could just consider it tuition.
Thinking this, Yukino was about to take the coffee back when she found that Hayashi Chiki had stopped her and handed her his empty cup.
"Cola, thank you, this is a tip." Without waiting for a reply, Lin Qianshu stuffed the 500 yen coin into Yukinoshita's hand, along with an empty cup.
Yukino pursed her lips, wanting to say who cares about your little tip, but in the end she didn't say it. She put her coffee aside and poured Lin Qianshu a Coke.
Watching Lin Qianshu leave with the cola, Yukinoshita silently took out her small wallet, thought for a moment, and then put the coin away separately.
Return to your seat.
"Let's begin!" Yuihama seemed very excited. She had been attending study sessions in the Service Department, and it felt like she was in a different classroom.
Holding study sessions in a family restaurant now feels like returning to the way study sessions should be in Yuihama's memory.
At Yuihama's command, Yukinoshita was the first to take out her headphones, followed by Hayashi Chiki, and finally, seeing that they were all wearing headphones, Hachiman also took out his own in-ear headphones and put them on.
Yuihama looked stunned when she saw this.
"Wait, why are you listening to music?"
I've never seen you do this when I was studying in the Service Department.
