chapter 5

Chapter 5 From this moment on, his and her youth will no longer be separated

Genius, in other words, your commission is to ask us to write a review of the light novel you wrote, right? Holding a stack of books titled [Sword Saint Academy Series: White Blade Sword Flash: Phantom Nothingness ~ Black Oak] in her hand, Yukinoshita asked the fat white-haired otaku standing there.

Yes, that's it.

Zaimokuza, emitting strong confidence, stared at Hachiman.

It's Yukinoshita who's talking to you, why are you staring at me? Hachiman, whose back was chilled by Zaimokuza's stare, complained weakly.

Staring at someone when they are talking to you is very rude. Hasn't anyone taught you that? Yukinoshita's cold voice sounded beside them.

Zaimokuza straightened his body instantly and turned his head away.

Just looking at Yukinoshita seemed to drain all his courage.

After just a few seconds, cold sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Well, if that's the only request, I'll accept it.

Throwing the manuscript in his hand to Hachiman, Yukinoshita turned to Zaimokuza and said: Come here at this time tomorrow.

The three of us will tell you our opinions on this novel.

Eh, I want one too? Yui, who had been playing dumb until now, was surprised to hear Yukinoshita mention her.

Hachiman looked at the manuscript in his hand and muttered to himself, "This is a nightmare! I'm seeing this for the second time."

Yukinoshita, who was not far away, seemed to have heard something, and the ahoge on her head, which seemed to be inherited from the Hikigaya family, shook magically.

If there is nothing else, you can leave now. Yukino rudely ordered Zaimokuza to leave and turned around to her seat. Hikigaya-kun

As the club activity time was over, Hachiman was about to go home quickly to play with his cutest sister when he was stopped by a cold voice.

Ah, Yukinoshita, what's up?

When Hachiman turned around and saw the person coming, even his dead fish eyes softened in an instant.

I just heard you say in the club that you read the manuscript a second time, so I wanted to ask you.

Yukino bit her pink lips as if she had made up her mind. From what I learned from Zaimokuza-san, this manuscript was written recently and has not been shown to anyone else.

What's the big deal? Maybe you heard it wrong. Hachiman waved his hand nonchalantly.

No, this is important because I have also seen this original manuscript.

As Yukino said this, her whole body relaxed.

I have also seen this original manuscript before, in a dream.

What? You also opened your eyes wide in disbelief.

So, does that mean Hikigaya-kun is the same as me?

I had that dream the week before the opening ceremony.

In other words, Yukinoshita, did you also dream about the things that happened after the second year of high school like me? Hachiman, who had been suppressing this matter in his heart, suddenly learned that the other party was the same as him. Even when facing Hiratsuka Shizuka's fist, Hachiman, who was unusually calm, could not suppress his expression at the moment.

It seems to be correct, Hikigaya-kun. Although I can't remember some details, I will never forget the feeling of being there.

Yukinoshita let out a soft breath, and her tone of voice was filled with tenderness that she herself had not noticed.

That also included the last word that was covered by the girl standing quietly opposite him before he could finish speaking, feeling the warm touch of his lips and the unique fragrance of Yukinoshita.

Hachiman recalled the scene, which he didn't know whether it was a dream or the real future. The girl in front of him was wearing a white kimono and was so beautiful that it was beyond description.

There was a coldness on her face that was different from when we first met. There was a slight blush on her face, and her eyes showed a tenderness that she had never shown to others.

The shadow in his memory gradually overlapped with the lovely girl in front of him, and Hachiman couldn't help but stretch out his hand to touch Yukino's cheek.

Unexpectedly, Yukino, who was as graceful as an orchid in a valley, did not avoid or slap away Hachiman's hand, but just let him caress her flawless cheek.

The moment Hachiman's hand touched Yukino's cheek, it seemed as if everything in the world had stopped. Even the noisy wind in early summer seemed unwilling to disturb the couple and stopped caressing the leaves.

Several minutes passed before Yukino came back to her senses from the familiar touch. In an instant, it seemed as if all the blood in her body rushed to her fair face. She took a few steps back and gave Hachiman, who had not yet recovered, a clean and neat roundhouse kick.

What Hachiman saw before he lost consciousness was still the white cotton panties. This is the second time today, Hikigaya Hachiman thought so. Hachiman rubbed his swollen and painful cheek and opened his eyes.

Familiar ceiling.

He sat up slowly and picked up the ice pack that had fallen on the side of the bed when he stood up. "This seems to be Yukino's bed," said Hachiman while looking at the familiar Mr. Pan dolls on the bed.

Hissing, Hachiman, whose wound was affected by talking, took a deep breath and quickly put the ice pack on again.

How could this girl hit so hard? Hachiman was thinking about this when he heard the sound of the door opening. He turned around and saw Yukino in her pajamas.

Hey, you're awake. It seems that Hikigaya Gama's ability to withstand blows is quite good. I thought you would be unconscious until tomorrow. Yukino, who came in, paused for a moment when she saw Hachiman waking up, and then she spoke.

Why did you kick me all of a sudden? Hachiman saw a faint smile on Yukino's face and asked.

No matter how you treat a guy who suddenly attacks a girl, it would not be excessive. If it weren't for the friendship between classmates, Hikigaya, you should be spending the rest of your life in prison.

So you just knocked me out and took me to your house? Can I assume this is a female pervert trying to kidnap me?

No, this is not kidnapping. I have already called Komachi and told her that you will be staying at my place tonight.

Yukino took Hachiman's cell phone in her hand and played with it, and Komachi's tone at the time sounded really surprised, as if she woke up early in the morning and found that the earth had entered the interstellar age.

If a brother who has no friends at all suddenly gets a call from a girl saying that she wants to stay overnight, I would be surprised too.

Okay, stop talking nonsense. Hikigaya-kun, the reason I brought you back was to discuss that dream with you and how we will get along in the futures.
