My love game with them that will lead to certain death

"… As expected, you are very rude, Senior."

The black-haired girl opened her mouth and bit off the apple with a little more force than before, as if it was someone's stand-in.

"Then I'll do the polite thing to make amends."

After going around in circles, the conversation between the two finally returned to the topic that Toru Narumi was concerned about.

"Yukino, your Servant Club - that should be the name. Do you need an assistant to help you recruit members and collect commissions?"

Ming Hai Che’s map of Yan State is only this long.

Chapter 5 I'm CPUing You! (Part 2)

"It's hard to recruit new members when the club is just established without connections, right? In addition, due to your physical condition, it might be easier if you have more assistants to help you."

"…Is this also your way of getting along well with me, Senior? Or is this just a mission from my elder sister?"

It's a sharp intuition, but unfortunately it still leaves room for Ming Hai to make excuses.

"Because I'm bored."

"This explanation is not as good as the two previous ones."

"But this is the truth. You can't possibly say that I have any improper thoughts about you, Yukino, an underage female high school student, right?"

"It seems that we can't rule out this possibility."

"My image in your eyes is so bad~"

The relaxed and simple chat made Yukinoshita Yukino, who had always had a stern face, relax a little, and the corners of her mouth would occasionally rise slightly because of the young man's complaints - and perhaps she herself was not even aware of it.

"Since my sister doesn't care, and you have nothing to do, then you can become my assistant as you wish."

The girl stood up from the bed, raised her head and looked out the window at the blue sky.

"Or, should I become the camera man that my sister sent to install next to me?"

"It seems like I've been objectified a bit too many times today. Even I'd be sad."

The curly-haired young man said these discouraging words, but in reality he just shook his head without making any comment.

"…I'm sorry, I was a little rude."

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a while, probably because she felt that her aggressive attitude was inappropriate.

"I will go back to school after a few days of rest. Then I'll trouble you to meet me at the Servant Club."

"Don't you think I should be given some authority that an assistant should have?"

"Oh?"

Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head curiously and finally met his gaze.

"It's not impossible, but what do you mean, Senior...?"

——The day Yukinoshita Yukino returned to school.

She looked at the club recruitment bulletin board in the corridor on the first floor of the teaching building, her expression more complicated than ever before.

[Our company is not interested in ordinary humans. If there are aliens, people from the future, people from another world, people with super powers, or if you encounter any difficult problems, please come to us! ——The president of the Servant Club, Yukinoshita Yukino! 】

"........."

"Oh my, that Yukinoshita Yukino-san actually speaks so immaturely?"

"Don't judge a person by appearance. These days, it seems that the setting of a woman who appears to be an ice beauty on the surface but is secretly a nerd is very popular."

"I really didn't expect that... I'll join the club right away!"

As her classmates passing by murmured in low voices, she tore down the notice in silence.

Then he walked straight towards the service club activity room and pushed the door open.

"The most abnormal person here who needs to be expelled the most is you, Senior!"

Yukinoshita Yukino pronounced this to the curly-haired young man who was leisurely sitting at the table sipping black tea.

Fortunately, this was only a simulation. She repeated this to herself no less than three times. Otherwise, social death would have been a foregone conclusion.

"Oh, I spent so much time thinking of such a brilliant copy for you. It's great to get such a high evaluation from you."

The young man raised a rather happy smile on his face, and then pointed to the room which he had cleaned very cleanly.

"I also cleaned the headquarters activity room for you, Yukino. No need to thank me."

"I didn't plan on thanking you."

Yukinoshita Yukino came to her senses and finally realized that she was being CPUed.

"An impolite president won't leave a good impression on newcomers~ Yukino."

Ming Hai curled his lips and signaled with his eyes, and Yukino, who was still angry, noticed it.

Opposite him, sitting upright with an uncomfortable look on his face, the boy with dull hair and dead eyes was staring at him with a somewhat surprised look.

Perhaps it was because the gaze from a pair of dead fish eyes made people feel really uncomfortable. Realizing that she had lost her composure, Yukinoshita Yukino coughed lightly and nodded to the dumb-haired boy as she walked in.

"…I'm sorry. I'm Yukinoshita Yukino, the president of the Servant Club. May I ask who you are…?"

"…Hikigaya Hachiman."

The boy with dead fish eyes looked away and twirled his fingers nervously under the table, not daring to meet the president's gaze.

"I'm so sorry, I'm not an alien nor a person with super powers. I'm just an innocent boy from high school who was captured by the teacher."

"It's doubtful that it's normal."

Ming Hai on the side raised his index finger seriously to add to his words, which made Miss Yukinoshita Yukino's forehead unconsciously bulge with blue veins.

"As an assistant, if you get too involved and take over the main role, you will be fired, senior."

"Sure enough, this man is not a high school student. He smells like a smart, foxy person..."

Hikigaya Hachiman's mumbling voice reached the ears of the two.

"I couldn't agree more with that, Hikigaya-kun."

As a result, he was praised by the president of the service club.

"Oh, you two have reached a consensus so quickly, that's great! But I'm not a member of society, I'm just a college student who can be found everywhere."

However, Toru Narumi's cheerful response inevitably made Hikigaya Hachiman feel a little wary. The feeling that everything that was currently happening was under the other party's control made it impossible for him to relax.

"Then my question is why there are college students in a high school club."

So he asked this question somewhat awkwardly.

"Well, because I'm Yukinoshita's ex-boyfriend."

Ming Hai also gave the answer very naturally and sincerely, although this answer made the black-haired girl who had just sat down next to him tremble as she picked up the tea bag.

"………What?"

Now it was Hikigaya Hachiman's turn to be at a loss.

Chapter 6: Yukinoshita Yukino is a sturdy woman (Part 1)

As we all know, real-life couples are the ones that can make some people feel uncomfortable and have a strong desire to burn just by breathing.

This state of mind is somewhat similar to that of Hikigaya Hachiman now.

Not only was she dragged to a service club that sounded like it was strictly for girls by Shizuka Hiratsuka without saying anything, but she was also involved in the emotional battle between handsome men and beautiful women? This was a bit too much.

Therefore, the young man Hikigaya Hachiman turned his target of attack to the assistant who seemed to be idle and not doing any serious work.

With the blessing of resentment, activate the skill and stare with dead eyes!

"Why, Hikigaya-kun, are you looking at me like that, do you want to be my girlfriend?"

What a shame, it had no effect at all on the smiling Assistant Narumi Toru...!

[Achievement achieved——"Nantong is actually me? Not sure, take another look"]

Wait, why did this achievement pop up in such a weird place?

"W-I didn't mean that!"

Hikigaya Hachiman suffered damage that rebounded, making it difficult for him to use his moves in the next round!

Yukinoshita Yukino curled the corners of her lips without saying anything, but some emotions could be vaguely seen in her complex eyes.

You gays...

"Allow me to clarify for myself. This Narumi Toru-senpai is my sister's ex-boyfriend. He is a serious college student, but he became an assistant of our club out of his nosiness and the need to collect materials."

Yukinoshita Yukino coughed twice lightly, and began to seriously introduce the origins of Toru Narumi to Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Senior and I have nothing to do with each other, and my vision in choosing boyfriends is definitely better than that of my sister."

This kind of words are usually flags, Ms. Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Hello, hello, great god Hachiman~"

Ming Hai also seemed to be very good at dealing with people, and his familiarity made Hikigaya a little overwhelmed. Maybe it was because he realized that this person's familiarity was actually very cold.

“So there are people who know the origin of this name…”

But no matter what, Ming Hai's words just now still made him look good.

What's more, compared to Yukinoshita Yukino, who looks tough and hard to approach, the same-sex elder in front of him, who seems kind and reliable, is more friendly.

How much favor does Toru Narumi have in Hikigaya Hachiman's heart? 1. (Unnecessary favorability increased)

"Speaking of sources, are you a novelist?"

"Well, there's a possibility that he just likes to watch the fun."

Ming Hai snapped his fingers contentedly. He certainly would not reveal all his secrets to others in the simulation.

"I am a transparent novelist who came out to collect materials because I was troubled by the problem of my novel. I am also a hot potato thrown to me by my sister."

Yukinoshita Yukino on the side did the same thing without mercy.

"Haha, that's right!"

The curly-haired young man showed a cheerful smile, but he ruthlessly spoke words that slandered him.

"Well, that's the truth. We are all rats in the gutter, the shameful bugs curled up in the corners of youth and sunshine, and we are self-satisfied by observing human behavior, so we are exiled here, Hichiko-san!"

"Although part of what you said is true, please don't drag me into this group. And what's with that nickname that's not difficult to pronounce at all?"

Hikigaya forced a smile at the corner of his mouth. He never thought that he was the relatively normal person here.

Sitting down steadily, Yukinoshita Yukino put the tea bag into the teacup and began to brew tea meticulously while smiling out loud.

"Hikima-kun, don't be fooled by the fact that this Narumi-senpai doesn't look very smart. He is actually very good at changing the subject and livening up the atmosphere."

"Oh, thank you for calling me a dorky handsome guy, Yukino!"

"Did I mention the word handsome in my speech just now?"

"Being handsome is an objective fact, which does not prevent it from being added later."

"Then I will reject it without any subjective emotion."

"Since President Yukinoshita has praised me so much, it's my turn to return the compliment. This unsuccessful novelist has already tailored a profile that best suits you. If you are interested, I would be happy to show it to you."

"Although I didn't compliment you...wait, when did you do the profiling?"

"Well, Yukinoshita Yuki is a sturdy woman (in terms of thought). Although she is not tall and strong, she is upright and unyielding—"

"…I shouldn't have asked. Your description is very much in line with the standards of a failed writer."

"The topic has almost been changed! And why don't you immediately put your knowledge into practice and start calling me Hipenguin like Narumi!"

Hikigaya's dead fish eyes kept drifting, and he became more and more convinced that the curly-haired young man in front of him had a terrifying ability to control social situations.

He is a fox-like guy who is eloquent and often says shocking things. If he were a girl, she would definitely control him completely.

Wait, it seems like it’s okay even if you’re not a girl… No, no! Hikigaya Hachiman, you’re an upright high school boy… Be upright! You must be upright! You can’t live a Westernized life!
