Hikigaya Hachiman is still in the dark

"Then let's reset Hikigaya-kun's favorability to zero."

Yang Nai looked at me coldly, then slammed the door shut.

I stood there with a bitter smile. I had thought before that since she could check my balance, she would definitely be able to check my spending records as well, and the exposure of that matter was inevitable.

It's understandable that she's angry, because she did mention that I should stay away from the "Qianye Family" before. Yang No might think that I deliberately went against her wishes to cause trouble for her... But, I didn't do anything wrong, even though I regret my decision now, but I still think I didn't do anything wrong.

And Yang Nai, you have misunderstood a very important fact. In fact, I am the one who least wants to have anything to do with the Qianye family again.

Shaking my head to clear the chaotic thoughts in my mind, I left the room to help Yukinoshita carry her luggage.

Extra: Attack of Yukinoshita Haruno

This is an ancient town with tall and simple city walls, revealing an ancient atmosphere. The base of the city walls is covered with moss and other climbing plants. On top of the city walls, there is an observation tower every few places, and the guards who are constantly patrolling show the strictness of the guard.

Today seems to be an important day. Black flags are hung everywhere on the streets, but the streets are unusually deserted and there is no one in the shops.

The town is designed with an ancient symmetrical structure. Walking along the street to the center of the town, there is a luxuriously decorated palace in the center. The architectural style of the palace is like the medieval British royal city. In the center of the palace is a black statue, which seems to be worshiped as a hero. In front of the statue is something like an altar. A priest is singing an ancient ballad in front of the altar. Below the priest, a group of people are standing in a black mass, and everyone is bowing their heads solemnly.

At this time, a man walked out from the gate in front of the palace. The man's steps were steady, and every step he took left a "clang" sound on the marble floor. The man was dressed in the gorgeous clothes of the medieval British royal family, wearing a red shawl, and behind him was fluttering the brocade robe worn by the crowned king.

The man walked in front of the statue and bowed to it reverently. Then he turned his back to the statue and looked at everyone with dignity. The aura he exuded made the priests afraid to speak.

"Today is the 10th year of our independence and also the th year of our living and working in peace and contentment. Today, we are about to worship our hero, Hayato Hayama. It was he who sacrificed himself at the last moment and led the Demon King somewhere else. He used his life to fight for our victory, our freedom, and the meaning of our existence in this world." The man's voice became more and more passionate, like a king declaring his hegemony.

"Now, as the Human King Hikigaya Hachiman, I order everyone to mourn for three minutes." After saying this, Hikigaya turned around and bowed his head in mourning towards the statue of Hayama Hayato. The crowd below also observed a solemn silence.

Three minutes later, Hikigaya faced the crowd and waved his hands vigorously like an emperor reviewing his troops.

"Disband."

"Yes."

After the response, the crowd slowly dispersed. After saying a few words to the priest, Hikigaya turned and walked into the palace filled with shadows.

Hikigaya walked through the dark corridor of the palace. The walls of the corridor were full of mysterious patterns. Due to the use of not very bright candles, the corridor seemed a little dark, with only a little light trying to shuttle through it. After a while, the light became brighter and brighter. He was probably close to the exit, so he gradually quickened his pace.

This is a large garden, about 1,000 square meters in size. There is an artificial river around the garden, and there are benches at intervals beside the river. Different areas of the garden are planted with flowers of different seasons, ensuring that there are flowers blooming every day. There is a large pavilion in the center of the garden, and next to it is a white swing. Under the pavilion, Yukinoshita sat quietly, wearing a gorgeous dress, like a princess. Next to her, Yuigahama sat restlessly, probably not used to the constraints of the dress, her body was twisting unnaturally.

Hikigaya stopped in front of the lawn, and the attendants beside him hurriedly stepped forward to take Hikigaya's brocade robe and remove his shawl. Hikigaya nodded slightly, and the attendants stayed quietly aside.

"Xiaoqi, is everything going well?" When Yuigahama saw Hikigaya, she immediately stood up happily and ran towards him. Hikigaya quickly caught Yuigahama.

"It went pretty well." Hikigaya answered a little tiredly, then put his arm around Yuigahama and sat on the chair under the pavilion.

A gust of wind blew, and the grass swayed in the direction of the wind. Hikigaya closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the rare peace, while Yuigahama lay in Hikigaya's arms with a blushing face, smiling sweetly.

"If you find it hard, don't force yourself. I can do some of the work for you."

"I know you can do it, and you will definitely do it well." Hikigaya opened his eyes: "But, in the end, Hayama entrusted me to take good care of the others. These things are not that difficult. You just need to have a good rest."

Yukinoshita frowned slightly: "This can't be entirely blamed on you, after all..."

"After all, he is the Demon King, right? I have often comforted myself with this reason in the past few years, but I still can't forgive myself. Although this town has been prepared for a long time, Komachi, Teacher Shizuka, and Totsuka are all gone. Even in the end, Hayama faced the Demon King alone to protect me..." Hikigaya's voice became lower and lower, and he even cried in the end.

"You've tried very hard, don't blame yourself." Yukinoshita looked at Hikigaya gently: "Everyone knows."

"But..." A shrill alarm suddenly sounded, and Hikigaya stood up in panic. At the same time, a sentry ran over and shouted in panic:

"King, the devil has appeared."

After hearing this, Hikigaya hurriedly ran towards the main hall, with Yuigahama and Yukinoshita following closely behind him.

Hikigaya ran out of the magnificent palace and stood on the steps, clearly looking at the demon king who was so tall that the city walls were eclipsed—

Yukinoshita Haruno.

Hikigaya fell to the ground in panic. Yuigahama and Yukinoshita Yukino hurriedly supported him. Then they looked outside the city wall with the same terrified eyes, at the huge figure that was covering the castle like a dark cloud.

"How could that be? She has evolved again and is taller than before."

"Hello, Yuki and Hikigaya-kun, you don't think it's okay to hide here, do you? I've worked hard for a long time, and finally now I can see you!" Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and waved.

That day, humans finally remembered the fear of being driven to this town by Yukinoshita Haruno...

Chapter 121 Class reunions always come so suddenly

"Why is it so dull? It's a rare occasion for you to have a meal together, can you not act like it's your last meal before being executed? We are all young people, so please be more lively."

At the dining table, Yang No looked around at the three of us and spoke with a smile.

I understand, but I just can't feel happy when you are around. It's really a miracle that I can still calmly eat at the same table with you after you have invaded my privacy so seriously.

I looked at Yukinoshita. I had no idea what she was thinking at the moment. She just lowered her head and ate her meal. But Yuigahama reacted quickly when I turned her gaze to her, and turned her face away guiltily.

Please don't look around while eating. Don't you know that this is disrespectful to food? And you acted so suspiciously, which made me sure that you were the mastermind of this cohabitation conspiracy, and it succeeded with Yang Nai's wisdom!

Seeing that there was no response to her calls, Yang Noi looked unhappily at Yukinoshita who was thinking about something and me who was standing alone in a daze. Her expression that changed from gloomy to bright was really scary.

As this person gets older, he becomes more and more like a villain...

Yang No suddenly stood up and sat very close to Yukinoshita, looking at her with a smile.

"Do, what?" Yukinoshita asked subconsciously, hesitating because she was suddenly attacked.

"Nothing, I just wanted to check on Yukino-chan."

Yang No supported her chin with both hands and looked at Yukinoshita seriously, with a big smile still on her face.

"If you're bored, could you please come over? It's time for dinner, and I don't have the time to fool around with you!" Yukinoshita frowned and spoke with disgust.

"You're so cold, Yukino-chan. But that's also very cute! As the saying goes, it's tiring to be a freeloader!"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand at all..."

Yukinoshita moved her position in disgust, trying to move away from Haruno, but Haruno still approached her again with a smile.

"So, what do you want to say?" Realizing that no matter how much she moved, she would still be caught up by Haruno, Yukinoshita finally gave up the futile struggle, selectively ignored Haruno, and continued to eat her meal.

"Xukino, you really want to talk to your sister, right?"

"Xue-no-chan, do you feel that your sister is too beautiful, so you feel too stressed and don't want to talk?"

Haruno kept chattering there, but Yukinoshita showed no sign of wanting to pay any attention to her and just kept eating her meal indifferently.

"Oh, so that's how it is..." Yang Nai folded her hands and thought: "I know!" Yang Nai suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment; you finally realized that you are an eyesore here, so you are going to leave immediately with self-awareness? You woke up too late!

"Xukino, you're feeling shy because you're going to live with Hikigaya-kun, right?"

With a "puff", the food in my mouth almost spit out. Thanks to her, I had to keep coughing dryly, trying to adjust my body.

"What did you suddenly say?" I slammed the table excitedly.

"Eh, is there something wrong? I do remember that this situation completely fits the definition of living together."

"This is rooming, not living together. Please be careful with your wording!"

When she heard me say the word "shared rental", Yukinoshita, who was standing aside in a daze, finally found the opportunity to refute Haruno, and she also said firmly that we were sharing a rental.

"If we share a house, shouldn't we both share the living expenses? But as far as I know, Yukino didn't spend a penny..."

Will the game be decided by a straight ball? That's true. To put it bluntly, Yukinoshita is now completely eating for free! It's really far-fetched to say that we are sharing a house. Damn it, she really won't let us win so easily!

"In short, it's definitely not the kind of relationship you said. Hikigaya and I are just ordinary friends." Yukinoshita said firmly. What she said is right. Yukinoshita and I are just simple friends. And dating Yukinoshita... It's so cold, so cold. Why is it so cold all of a sudden? Is the air conditioner broken? Or did a cold wave suddenly invade Chiba?

"Hey, now you can say the word 'friend' very easily, Yukino-chan, you..." Yangno looked at Yukinoshita meaningfully, her expression showing relief but also an indescribable emotion that made me feel scared.

Yang Noi turned her gaze to me again, and her unnatural gaze made me take a small step back unconsciously.

"Don't be so scared of me, okay, Hikigaya? I won't eat you." What you said is not funny at all. If it is in the physiological sense, you really won't eat me, but in every other sense, I feel like you have eaten me until there is not a single bone left!

"Hikigaya-kun is really amazing. He can always change the people around him unconsciously like now. If it were in the past, Yukino would never say words like friends so naturally."

"This is obviously Yuigahama's work, okay? I don't remember deliberately helping you correct the character flaws of your lovely sister!"

Yukinoshita glared at me fiercely, probably because I just said that she had character flaws! At this point, please don't correct such facts anymore, okay!

"Hmm? That's true."

Yang No didn't deny what I said, but nodded in agreement. This response made me not know how to respond.

To use an analogy, it's like a competition between two old enemies. At the beginning, one of them says to the other, "Just admit defeat quickly. You can't beat me." Then the other person nodded and admitted defeat decisively. The person who spoke at the beginning suddenly didn't know how to respond!

Can you please play according to the routine? Does your mother know that you are so good at playing tricks on her?

"Hikigaya-kun, you are such a rational freak... Even now, your way of thinking has not changed at all. It's really funny!"

"In the past, Yukino would not easily say something like "friend". At that time, probably no one would have thought that Yukino would have changed like this. Since no one thought of the current changes at that time, then in the future, Yukino..."

Yang No turned to look at Yukinoshita, as if warning her but also as if expecting something.

"Maybe in the future, Xiao Xue, you will be able to easily say words like love and lover. When that time comes..."

Yono seemed to want to say something, but Yukinoshita interrupted her firmly.

"That's enough. We'll discuss the rest later. If you've had enough fun, please go back quickly!"

After Yukinoshita finished speaking, she stared at Haruno, and the smell of gunpowder between the two of them became more and more intense, so much so that I thought that if neither of them was willing to back down, World War III would probably start today!

"That's true. Now that I've seen some interesting things and confirmed some interesting things, and I've had enough fun, it's time to leave."

Yang No turned his eyes away and stopped looking at Yukinoshita.

"Well then, Hikigaya-kun, Yui-chan, I'm leaving first! Byebye!"

After waving to us, Yang No quickly left the scene without saying hello to Yukinoshita.

The three of us were left speechless, and then there was silence, an awkward silence. The air was so heavy that it could kill people, that's probably it.

"Well, let's eat first. It's rare that I made a meal that suits your two tastes. If you don't eat well, the God of Rice will be jealous!"

"Yuigahama, I don't have much appetite..."

"Me too……"

Yukinoshita and I both responded to Yuigahama uncomfortably. After what happened just now, I really didn't have much appetite, and I had already eaten sushi with Yuexia and the others before. Although I knew that we would have to eat together again after returning, I deliberately ate less, but I still ate a certain amount of food.

"Yeah, that's true. After just going through something like that, no one would have an appetite again." Yuigahama lowered her head in disappointment, muttering to herself.

"Let me clean up first." Yuigahama stood up and started to clean up the dishes.

"I'll come too..." Yukinoshita said as she stood up and prepared to help Yuigahama clean up. Yuigahama waved her hand and said, "It's okay, Yukino-chan, I can do it alone! Yukino-chan, take a good rest. I have something else to discuss with you guys later."

"Well, what's the matter? Is it about the flower shop?"

"No, it's not. We can talk about it in detail later. Yukino, you two should just take a good rest first."

After saying that, Yuigahama pushed Yukinoshita onto the chair with her hands and started to get busy by herself.

Not long after, Yuigahama finished packing her things and sat down next to Yukinoshita.

"It's been a long time since we've been able to discuss something like this with three people." Yuigahama said with infinite emotion.

In terms of time, we haven't seen each other for almost five years, let alone discussing things together like we did in the high school service club.

Thinking of this, I nodded in agreement with Yuigahama's words.

"So, Yuigahama, what important matter do you want to discuss with us?" Yukinoshita looked at Yuigahama puzzledly. She probably thought that Yuigahama would not have anything important to say. In the past, when she was shouting about important matters, all we received were discussions about love.

To sum up, it is indeed difficult to understand what Yuigahama wants to say.

"Well, when I came here before, I met Xiao Caijia..."

"Eh! Really? Is that Totsuka? Are you sure you're not seeing things?"

"Can someone over there please retract your body? Why do you become like this every time Totsuka Ayaka is mentioned?!"

Yukinoshita's cold words calmed me down, and I sat up straight again.

I couldn't contain my excitement for a moment, I really lost my composure, but I haven't seen Totsuka for a long time. I wonder if this guy has become even cuter now, cuter and even cuter!

"Xiao Qi, you're right. I really did meet Xiao Caijia and even chatted with him."

"Oh, really? How is he doing now? Has he become cuter?!"

Yukinoshita looked at him with an even colder gaze: "You are really hopeless!"

You are so nagging. This is ordinary love. You can never understand it. He has such a gentle smile.

"Xiao Caijia has been doing well recently and seems to be in good spirits. I talked to him for a long time and he was quite happy."

"Oh, is that so?" I breathed a sigh of relief. From Yuigahama's description, I thought that Totsuka shouldn't have changed that much. That was great!

"Then we talked about some old classmates. After that, Xiao Cai and I wanted to hold a reunion for old classmates."
