Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

Seeing Komachi jumping up from the sofa, waking up Kamakula in his sleep and running to find Sabre's dog leash with bare feet and no shoes, Hikigaya Hachiman said helplessly.

It's just that Komachi has already run away, so he probably couldn't hear his complaints.

After looking at the white cat who found a comfortable place on the sofa and fell asleep on its stomach, Hikigaya Hachiman also left the sofa, knelt down and rubbed the head of Sabre, who was whining softly.

Chapter 170 VII The Lonely Figure Under the Warm Light

"Here comes Komachi~"

Holding the dog leash left by Hikihama Yui in the pile of pet supplies at Hikigaya's house, Hikigaya Komachi quickly ran to Hikigaya Hachiman.

Because of the intense action, Hikigaya Komachi handed the rope to Hikigaya Hachiman, bent slightly and gasped for breath.

Hikigaya Komachi's influence in the junior high school he attended was that he was a top student with excellent academic performance.She is popular and has a lively personality, but although she is an active person, her physical strength is not very good.

During the school sports meeting, I often only participate in group events that must be participated by all students. During large-scale events, I only do inspection work, or I am simply selected to broadcast as a mascot.

"Why are you running around in such a hurry at home? Although Yui missed the time she suggested to take Sabre out for a stroll, it's okay to postpone once in a while, right?"

Hikigaya Hachiman, who took the dog leash, looked at Komachi who was breathing calmly, shook his head and said something about her, then gently pressed Sabre's body to keep him from moving, and then tied the dog leash.

Walking the dog without a leash is equivalent to the dog slipping away, Bi Qigu Hachiman still knows this.

"Is that all right?"

After pulling on the dog leash and making sure that the rope and the buckle on Sabre's collar were securely fastened, Hikigaya Hachiman stood up and said to Komachi that he was all right.

In fact, he really likes this dachshund in Yuhihama Yui's family. Although he says he doesn't care about this kind of lively and cute little animal, he will stop for a while when he sees it.

After all, Hikigu Hachiman, who started out very early like a lonely patient, has not communicated with others for a considerable amount of time. He only has so much to do, and he has to find a place to spend so much time when he is free. Sand off.

So cute pets who can't speak, and don't have any special reaction even if they are sized up, have become his favorite objects of observation.

Even if it's not my own pet, as long as it looks cute and looks good, Bikigu Hachiman still likes it.

At that time, regardless of safety, he physically stopped the car to save Sabre, which was largely the reason.

Otherwise, if it is a pet that is annoying to look at, it is estimated that he will regret it a little after the accident at most, instead of desperately trying to save it.

Not to mention that Sabre is the pet dog of Yui Hihama's family.

Even though it is cute at first, coupled with the identity of his girlfriend's dog, it is difficult to make Hikigu Hachiman hate it.

After all, although he said that Komachi has a tsundere personality, in fact he is also a rather awkward person. He says he doesn't care, but sometimes he doesn't think so in his heart.

And putting Sabre on the leash earlier had always made him think of other places.

Originally, Komachi was always the one who took Sabre on a leash during the summer vacation, and it was Komachi who tied the rope. Today was the first time he put Sabre on a dog leash.

At first, I didn't think it was a big deal, but as I tied it, I suddenly thought of something that he was familiar with and then took for granted.

When he and Yukinoshita Yukino went on a date together for the reason of choosing a birthday gift for Yuigahama Yui, in addition to Yukinoshita Yukino, he also chose a gift for Yuigahama Yui.

When it was given to Yuigahama Yui, she wrapped it around her neck with high hearts.

The collar that was originally given to Sabre as a gift has been worn by Yuihama Yui as a Choker.

When Yui Hihama delivered Sabre to Hikigaya's house, she always wore that collar around her neck.

I guess you still wear the thin black leather strap as an ornament now?

When he was tying the rope to Sabre earlier, he suddenly thought of this.

What would happen if you tied a rope to the collar around Yuihama Yui's neck?

With Yuigahama Yui's shy character, she must immediately refuse with a blushing face, right?

After frantically refusing, he lowered his head, and while uttering almost non-aggressive accusations, he secretly looked up at his expression.

Then he said that if he found that his expression was not very happy after a while, he would hesitate to suggest that he could give it a try.

Or if he proposed to put a rope on Yubihama Yui's collar, Yuihama Yui might say something:

"Isn't that good?", "It's too much for Xiaoqi...to make such demands on girls", "It's too much...for girls to do these things... ..."

Then he took the initiative to pick up the rope and tie it half-push and half-push, and handed the handle of the rope to his hand after tying it...

A girl with a loyal dog personality is probably like Yuigahama Yui?

"Okay, let's go!"

Komachi Genki's voice brought Hikigaya Hachiman back to reality.

"Ah, um, ok..."

Then Hikigu Hachiman realized that things were unusual.

we?

What does it mean?

"Brother, what are you doing in a daze?"

After putting on his slippers, Hikigaya Komachi went to the kitchen to pour a glass of water and came back, only to find that his brother holding the handle of the dog leash was motionless, and asked with some doubts.

"Does that mean I'm taking Sabre out for a walk?"

"Of course."

Hikigaya Komachi stuck out her little tongue at Hikigaya Hachiman, and then finished the cold water in her cup in one gulp.

"My brother must be taking Sabre out to play today. If I didn't do this, my brother wouldn't have stepped out of the house, right?"

Putting the matching red mug that he bought with his brother on the dining table, Hikigani Komachi wiped the water stains left on his mouth with the back of his hand, and said seriously.

Although it's good for her brother to be with her at home, it's not a problem to let him stay at home all the time. In her opinion, it's better for people to be more active.

"But......"

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't think like Hikigaya Komachi, he resisted this kind of thankless work all over his body.

But Hikigaya Komachi didn't care at all, and ran behind Hikigaya Hachiman, pushing his back towards the entrance.

"I've said it all, we're the ones going out, so Komachi will go out with my brother. No matter how troublesome my brother is, judging from Komachi's request, it's like going out with Komachi—! "

Now that Komachi said so, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't hold back her anymore. After changing their outdoor shoes, the brother and sister started to walk the dog, which was already long overdue.

-

It is indeed a long time late.

Now that the sun has set in the west, a thin ink is rendered in the indigo sky, and a bright moon hangs high in it.

This is a very common scene in summer evenings, the sun still has afterglow, and the moon is unwilling to be lonely, showing its true face to the world.

The cities where Hikigaya Hachiman and Hikigaya Komachi live are quiet, as if they have existed for quite a long time.

You can see people everywhere. Although it is a city, it is still full of human fireworks.

The urban concrete forest is only separated by a river, and it is scattered farmland, where people who make a living by farming live.

One side retro, one side modern.

The two worlds are divided into two parts by a river.

Following Komachi who was holding the handle of the dog leash enjoying the feeling of being pulled by Sabre, Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the environment in front of him and found that it seemed to be different from the scene in his memory.

He once heard his mother talk about her childhood, that is, more than 30 years ago.

Even the rivers and roads on the city side can still see fireflies.

But now, even on the other side of the river, there are no more fireflies in the fields.

Even if it doesn't go back so far, everything has changed a lot in just over ten years from Hikigaya Hachiman's childhood to now.

Everything in front of me is gradually changing day by day, and no special changes can be seen in a short period of time, but the time scale is extended to one year, four years, eight years, and ten years.

In the end, the things presented in front of my eyes have little connection with the past in my memory.

At most, there are still some traces of the past in the corners that no one pays attention to.

People will always miss the past, nostalgia for the past, lament the changes, lament the changed things.

"The past was wonderful", "That beautiful era", and "Showa style", the longer the era is shown, the more people will affirm it.

Nostalgia is the longing and longing for the past. This past is not a reproduction of the real scene, but a reconstruction of the arrangement and combination of different memories.

In the reconstruction of memory, negative emotions and bad impressions are automatically filtered and deleted.Individual nostalgic memories are not necessarily correct, but are generally positive and beneficial to oneself.

When using sentence patterns such as "I think about the past", "At the beginning", and "The past" to nostalgia, most of the memories are my own heroic deeds.

Hikigaya Hachiman thinks so.

After all, if you ask him to list his past deeds, he will say, "I think I led the army to sweep across the entire continent, and everywhere I went, I surrendered." Instead of saying, "It was quite a year when I mustered up the courage to confess, and then when the news spread, I was banned All the girls on the Internet looked at the whole middle school life with gloating eyes..."

Negative emotions such as doubt and dissatisfaction with reality, anxiety and fear will trigger individual nostalgia, and nostalgia is like an analgesic, which has a certain repairing and compensating effect on those negative emotions.

Yet nostalgia for the past can lead to a more ambivalent mood.

That is the pessimism about "change" and "now".

Is growth, evolution, and change really the right path?Is it really something that people should be happy about and cheer for?

For the purpose, everything is turned into a tool that can be used at will to achieve the purpose.

He didn't want to disappear from the world after death, so he tried every means to refuse to retreat.

For this reason, he formed an army, established a huge empire, and finally stepped into the underworld, and returned to the world after mastering the power of the dead.

Constantly killing and conquering, just for the illusory fantasy of his childhood.

Just to satisfy the unwillingness in his heart.

He never regretted all this.

Even if he was given another chance to choose again, even if the innocent and kind-hearted young LeBlanc who would shrink his head and secretly watch him when he saw himself appeared before his eyes again.

He will not hesitate to set foot on that road of no return again.

Because he understands that even if he does not change himself, his surroundings and the whole world will still change bit by bit.

In the end, he couldn't tell whether he was trying to catch up with the times simply because he didn't want to be left behind in the ever-changing world, or because it was his nature.

He doesn't think that staying the same is good, and likewise, he never feels that changes that cater to him are right.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his past self, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his almost completely changed self now.

"Sabre! Be careful, don't go to the side of the road, there are cars, it's dangerous."

Komachi grasped the rope a little harder, restraining Sabre's cheerful footsteps.

A car drove past the Biqigu brothers and sisters.

Sabre sniffed the smell of the haystack, making noises with his nose, and then gnawed the grass.

Both cats and dogs eat weeds like this and spit out the hairballs in their stomachs. This is what happens when you take pets out for a walk, so Hikigaya Hachiman and Komachi stopped where they were and waited for it for a while.

But this does have some joy.

After all, it really looks like this cute dachshund is grazing now, and the contrast is completely different from the inherent impression, creating a rather funny status quo.

Hikigaya Komachi looked at Sabrey who was gnawing grass, then at her brother Hikigaya Hachiman, and smiled happily.

"Oh~ Komachi hasn't taken a walk with my brother for a long time~"

"Yes."

Hikigu Hachiman has indeed not come out for a long time, after all, he likes to stay at home.Hikigaya Hachiman would hardly go out with Komachi unless it was to go shopping, or visit a pet show or other activities with clear goals.

Even more so now that he's even more indifferent to things he's not interested in.

Sabre tugged on the dog's leash in front, and Komachi smiled at it and said:

"Okay, let's go!"

Shortbread let out a bark, and then showed the unique walking style of a miniature dachshund.

Hikigaya Hachiman followed behind them.

Kamakura, the white cat in the Hikigaya family, is a female cat, and Sabre, the dachshund of Yui Hihama Yui’s family, is also a female dog.

The two pets didn't fight, but evolved into the current appearance of one chasing and one running and hiding, isn't it a blessing in misfortune?

The afterglow hangs in the western sky, and the street lamps set at a fixed distance are lit together, and there are lights of every house on the ground, and several kinds of lights intermingle with each other.

In this long-accustomed city, the crowds are divided into many different directions.
