Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

"That guy still has some information and ways to places I won't go to. I'm a little afraid that you will be taken to a strange place by her. 』

"She does sometimes take me to places I don't know, but those places are safe and interesting. Recently she took me to a place where I have not done solo climbing before, and I had a good time. happy."

"Ah, freehand rock climbing, I was dragged by Komachi to play in my hometown before, but I couldn't climb it at all.I think I'm not that bad at sports either. 』

"That's it, but maybe it's okay to say it now? Everyone can see Hachiman's physical fitness!"

『It would be nice if I became a little bit stronger.Next time you take me to that venue? 』

"......Um......"

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded without any problem.

Thinking about it carefully, it must have been an invitation to go out just now.Hikigu Hachiman didn't seem particularly concerned, and his attitude was very natural.

...would it...become a date?

If you just want to go to the rock climbing place, you can just ask Yango; since Hikigu Hachiman asked Yukinoshita Yukino to take him there, then it can be considered that Hikigu Hachiman wants to go with Yukinoshita Yukino.

Perhaps Haruno would comment that the destination was too lacking in atmosphere, but this was an invitation initiated by Hikigu Hachiman, Yukinoshita Yukino's lips naturally curled up in an arc.

"I'm looking forward to going out with Hachiman..."

Yukinoshita Yukino expressed her feelings frankly, and smiled happily, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hold back her expression.

It's as if Qigu Hachiman is not in front of him, Yukinoshita Yukino thought.

It's so easy to let the expression relax like this, it's impossible for people to see.

Being able to go out with the person I like, even though this kind of thing has happened many times, Yukinoshita Yukino is still happily rolling around on the bed.

Just like that, Yukinoshita Yukino was very glad that she had made this phone call, she was so happy and relaxed, and the nervous feeling was gone.

Maybe I am quite simple.

The slight tension left after starting the call has disappeared, and perhaps for reassuring reasons, the Sandman came all at once.

Perhaps because of happiness, sleepiness is induced, so that I can immerse myself in this feeling for a longer time.

She found that she didn't even want to open her eyes.While she was laughing silently, a small voice came from the other end of the phone, "...that? 』

"I'm curious about something, can I ask? 』

"......curious?"

What is the question at this time?Yukinoshita Yukino resisted the slowly coming tiredness and replied.Then came a hesitant voice.

"Well, what did you mean by that sentence today?Just, make up for each other and go on? 』

Hearing this question with a more ambiguous voice than usual, Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment, and then said slowly.

"...Hachiman and I are always together, right? We rarely get separated...In that case, it should be more efficient to help each other do things that the other can't do, right? ..."

Needless to say, it is more efficient to entrust things to people who can do it.

If Yukinoshita Yukino is asked to do physical work, it will take a lot of time, and there may be some things that women's physical fitness is not enough to complete.

And if Hikigu Hachiman is asked to cook, it may not only waste materials, but also take more time.

If two people learn from each other's strengths, things can be done more easily, so of course it is more appropriate.

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't have much strength to answer due to being confused.

Hikigaya Hachiman also muttered in an unclear voice, "...Well, that's what I said, but how should I put it, that's not what I want to ask. 』

What do you want to ask... Yukinoshita Yukino grunted instead of asking, but Hikigu Hachiman did not respond.

"Forget it, it's okay... If I ask for the exact deep meaning, I'm afraid I'm going to die?" 』

"......why......?"

"It's nothing, please don't worry about it, and please don't ask. 』

Hearing this kind of polite refusal, which was better than Kigu Hachiman's, made it clear that he would not answer any more.

At this point, no matter how entangled he is, Hikigu Hachiman will hardly say anything, it's better not to stalk.

Most of the time, he talked about him from left to right, and turned to persuade Yukinoshita Yukino.

"I don't need to worry about my side in advance... By the way, you are sleepy, right?" 』

It seems that Hikigu Hachiman heard that Yukinoshita Yukino is about to lose to Sleepiness.

"Then I'm almost dead, right? 』

"...don't. Let's talk...for a while..."

Yukinoshita Yukino knew that this kind of behavior was very childish, but she still wanted to listen to Hikigu Hachiman's voice for a while longer.

Such opportunities are almost non-existent.

To be able to have such an opportunity to concentrate on listening to the voice of Hachiman in Hiki Valley, and to sleep peacefully in this voice.

Yukinoshita Yukino's melting rationality was trying to persuade herself not to be so willful, but a gentle "OK" dissolved all her hesitation.

After getting the consent, Yukinoshita Yukino let go of her heart. She put her hands on her chest, feeling the warmth in her chest, and then focused on the mobile phone that fell on the bed sheet.

"...Hachiman's voice is reassuring, especially...comfortable..."

"Is this the first time someone has said that to me? 』

"Is it...?...? Soft, heart-warming, light and floating..."

The refreshing voice is very magnetic, but not too deep, and the smooth tone is soft and even sweet.

That kind of voice mingled with her breath and rang softly in her ears, making Yukinoshita Yukino feel that the power was being sucked away from her body.

This feeling is not unpleasant, but very pleasant.

Only you can hear it, it won't be like this to other people, the voice that you can only express to yourself is very warm, slowly pulling Yukinoshita Yukino into the ocean of sleep full of happiness.

As the sound soaked into the body, the body seemed to float lightly.

...still thinking, listen more

I really want to hear that voice and call myself by my name more often.

"......Is it so exaggerated? 』

"Hachiman, yes, the voice...I like it very much. Also, call me, name..."

The thing I like the most is that he calls his own name.

Before meeting Hikigaya Hachiman, no one had ever called Yukinoshita Yukino's name like this.

The mother who doesn't love her child at all, actually named herself Yukino Yukino from the day she adopted her, which she doesn't like.

However, since meeting Hikigaya Hachiman and falling in love with him, Yukinoshita Yukino also began to like her own name.

She especially likes that Hikigu Hachiman only calls her the name Yukinoshita Yukino, and doesn't regard her as a flower of Gaoling, or a member of Yukinoshita's family.

Yukinoshita Yukino felt satisfied with the whispers beside her ear.The mood also becomes warm and happy.

After asking Hikigu Hachiman to call her name with light thoughts, Yukinoshita Yukino heard a voice on the other end of the phone, as if Hikigu Hachiman was suffocated, or there was something she couldn't swallow, Make her feel very puzzled.

"Yukinoshita Yukino..."

Hikigu Hachiman called Yukinoshita Yukino's name, his voice sounded hesitant to speak.

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't quite understand what he meant, so she closed her eyes.

She knew that doing so would allow her to focus on Hikigaya Hachiman's voice.

With a calm mood immersed in happiness, Yukinoshita Yukino focused her consciousness on hearing.

Then she heard a breath like a sigh.

"...Forget it, it's nothing. 』

In the middle of the speech, he took it back, and the voice in the microphone was only a light breath.

Even that fixed voice made Yukinoshita Yukino feel happy.

She grunted, and then drifted into the comfortable silence, giving up even trying to catch the flickering thoughts.

In a daze, her thinking became more diffuse than before - she understood this as if it had nothing to do with her.

"Yukinoshita Yukino. 』

After a short, long silence in the eyes of Yukinoshita Yukino, Hikigaya Hachiman's voice sounded as if confirming something, so cautious and so low that it could almost be covered by breathing.

You have to answer.

Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to speak, but this kind of lethargy that could be called tranquility prevented the voice from coming out of his mouth.

She just uttered a weak and hoarse voice as if her throat rang, and she was already trying her best.

Hikigu Hachiman sighed with a slight smile.

"...Good night, Yukinoshita Yukino..."

A softer and sweeter voice than before entered his ears gently.

Yukinoshita Yukino could no longer resist the drowsiness and fell asleep.

In the evening of the next day, Yukinoshita Yukino came back from school as usual, and came to Hikigaya Hachiman's house after cleaning up. She found that Hikigaya Hachiman she met was a little unhappy.

Hikigaya Hachiman was waiting for her with a straight face in the corridor in front of the living room.

"Well, I said, it's better to call less before going to bed, right?"

In the service department, Hikigaya Hachiman seemed to be about to say something.

Of course, it was impossible for Yukinoshita Yukino to go over and talk to her, so she wanted to wait for the two of them to be alone before asking... Unexpectedly, he would have an opinion, Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyebrows.

Did I make a fool of myself yesterday...?Or maybe you're angry because you fell asleep first when it was me who made the call...?

She made a phone call yesterday, and in the middle of the call, she fell asleep and her memory was blurred.

At that time, Yukinoshita Yukino was half asleep and half awake, and couldn't remember exactly what he said, maybe he said something that would arouse Hikigaya Hachiman's disgust.

She hoped she didn't say anything strange, but seeing Hikigu Hachiman's unhappy eyes, she lost all that confidence.

"I, did I make a fool of myself..."

"It's not like that. It's just that I don't think it's good in every sense if you're drowsy for people to see or hear."

Hikigu Hachiman reminded Yukinoshita Yukino very seriously with a somewhat stiff voice, it should be Yukinoshita Yukino who said something very excessive.A sense of guilt welled up in her heart.

"That's what I said to make you unhappy..."

"Not saying that... just saying... because it's too lax, so I don't think it's good for people to hear it."

"...relax?"

"Anyway, no. It's not good."

"...Even with you? If you don't like it..."

"It's not that I don't like it, but it's not good, especially with me. It's not good for the heart, really, it's hard to stand..."

Hikigu Hachiman turned his face in embarrassment, and refused to look at Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Difficult?"

"do not talk."

Hikigu Hachiman resolutely refused to give a reason, even if Yukinoshita Yukino showed dissatisfaction in his eyes, he still refused to give in, insisting that "it can't be done anyway".

Yukinoshita Yukino, whose appetite was whetted, lightly clenched her fist and hit Hikigaya Hachiman's arm, expressing her dissatisfaction.

She felt that Hikigu Hachiman had something important to hide from her, which made her very uncomfortable.

Did you say something weird by yourself?Yukinoshita Yukino asked Hikigaya Hachiman for an explanation uneasy, and Hikigaya Hachiman lowered his eyebrows in embarrassment, and then sighed obviously.

Thinking that this sigh was caused by being dumbfounded, Yukinoshita Yukino began to tremble.

Hikigaya Hachiman gently extended his hand.

Firm fingers slowly moved away the hair on the side of Yukinoshita Yukino's cheek like stroking, and her ears were in contact with the air without any obstruction.Then Hikigu Hachiman squatted down lightly, and slowly brought his face closer.

"Yukono. Anyway, no...do you hear me?"

Hikigaya Hachiman whispered as if he wanted to comfort Yukino Yukino with unresistable movements. After his soft and smooth low voice touched Yukinoshita Yukino's ears, Yukinoshita Yukino felt something like being caressed. The wonderful numbness of the bristling hairs on her back surged up, and she couldn't help but let out a "woo-meow!?" sound from her mouth.

What circulated in his body was not so much a cold air, but an inexplicable numbness.

After hearing Hikigaya Hachiman's voice that seemed to take away the strength of her body, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to be melting all over, and almost fell to the ground.Hikigaya Hachiman immediately stretched out his hand behind her to hold her, and then Yukinoshita Yukino slammed into Hikigaya Hachiman's arms like this.
