Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

——Only Yuigahama Yui's one.

"Wow, it's so beautiful. It's really good, Fireworks."

Beside Yuigahama Yui, who was satisfied with the colorful fireworks, Hikigaya Hachiman frowned.

"Yes——but my fireworks are damp, so it seems like they can't start a fire."

"It's really unlucky. Well, after all, it's a clearance dump, so there's nothing you can do if it sells so cheap. But anyway, there are still a lot of them, so it's okay if one is just damp?"

Saying this, Yuigahama Yui gave him another firework.

Hikigaya Hachiman took the firework she handed over, and brought the firework closer to the candle again.

Then, this time, the moment the gunpowder was ignited, violent fireworks burst out immediately.

"It lit up at once. The flame is also normal. I won the lottery, so lucky."

"That's great, Xiaoqi. Ah, mine's burnt out."

Just after Hiki Valley Hachiman's fireworks were ignited, the fireworks in Yuihama Yui's hand stopped spewing sparks as if withered.

So she immediately took out a new firework, and brought it close to the firework of Hiki Valley Hachiman, which was raging.

"Xiaoqi, fire, give me some~~"

"Ah."

The next moment, her fireworks also burst into beautiful sparks—the flames extinguished in less than five seconds.

"Wow, mine is also damp. Could it be that the chances of empty bags are high?"

"This is a typical example of cheap goods but not good ones..."

With such a frustrating high-altitude packet rate, it always feels subtle and not exciting.

Although it is only a small thing, it will still be a little uncomfortable when encountering it.

That kind of awkward feeling will always itch in my heart.

Obviously everything is satisfied, but when encountering a little trouble, I feel a little uncomfortable.

Unlike Hikigaya Hachiman, who was a little jaded in his heart, Yuihama Yui clapped her hands as if thinking of something.

"Well——in this case... good! Then let's have a match!"

"Win or lose?"

Hikigaya Hachiman, who left from the perception of life, tilted his head to express his puzzlement, while Yui Hihama nodded happily.

"That's right. Try to light five fireworks with each other, and the side with the most fireworks will win. The loser will have a penalty game!"

"Punishment game? It's more interesting. Then do as you wish."

It is Yui Hihama's strength that he can turn the little troubles in front of him into something that can provide fun.

Hikigaya Hachiman also likes her character very much, or in other words, as long as Yui Hihama, even if she doesn't have such a character, he will like it.

He doesn't like her because she has such a personality, but because she is the one with such a personality, so he likes her.

"Okay, then if I win, I will hand over the job I will be on duty tomorrow to you."

In order to raise the tension, Hikigaya Hachiman announced his punishment game first.

It is said to be punishment, but the content of his work itself is not much, and most of it still overlaps with Yuigahama Yui.

Even if Yuihama Yui handles everything, she will only have a few more minutes of work.

"Understood. Then if I win... what do I want Xiaoqi to do? Ummm, it's so hard to think...ah! I thought of it, then on the next date, Xiaoqi Qi is going to invite me to a luxurious dinner!"

"Okay, but your punishment doesn't seem to be of the same magnitude as the punishment I proposed, right?"

"This kind of thing is the first to say that it is a disadvantage~~ Even if you lose, Xiaoqi just changes the taste. Every time I go on a date, I take her to Salia. Although the taste is good, it always feels a little weird ..."

Although the tone was hesitant, Yuihama Yui's eyes were serious...I can't lose here!

You, a person who has been fooled by consumerism, must be educated!

Is there anything wrong with going on a date to dinner in Salia?Not only dining in high-end restaurants can be counted as date dining, but the dishes in cheap restaurants can also provide energy, right?

Although these are not as good as eating at home...but considering the cooking skills of the two of us, it is better to eat outside on a date.

After all, please ask Yukinoshita Yukino to cook for the two people who are dating... Not to mention the thin-skinned Yuigahama Yui, even the thick-skinned Hikigaya Hachiman is a bit speechless.

With the tension of the game rising to a high point in one go, the two began a duel.

"Then first is the first branch——Small enterprises, how about you?"

"Okay, don't think about it, the victory will definitely belong to me."

Hikigu Hachiman lit the fire with a serious attitude.

There is no ability to use it. After all, if the results of these things are known from the beginning, they will lose their original meaning.

Not to mention that I am playing with the person I like, it is even more unnecessary.

Hiki Valley Hachiman's fireworks... I was lucky, there was no moisture, and it ignited normally.

"Ah, my fireworks are lit too. It's a tie!"

"Congratulations. Originally, I thought I could make a quick attack to decide the outcome."

The two put the burnt fireworks into the bucket and entered the next round of competition.

"Okay, second one. Mine is... ah, it's burning!"

"Congratulations, then it's me... Hey, I can't count."

Compared with Yuigahama Yui's beautifully blooming fireworks, Hikigaya Hachiman's fireworks are only burnt on the surface, and there is no reaction at all after that.

Just as Hikigaya Hachiman was about to put the unflammable fireworks into the bucket, Yuihama Yui stopped him.

"Ah, wait a minute. For the time being, in order to make it easier to determine the number of empty packets, let's put the unflammable fireworks next to the bucket. Put them all in the water after a while."

"That's right. It's troublesome to be told that the number is different when I won."

Hikigaya Hachiman said while putting his fireworks on the right side of the bucket.

What he said is not without precedent. After all, there are really people who can't afford to lose, and even if they lose, they still want to pass the test.

It's about the student president who is addicted to fishing, Yi Shiyu.

"Oh, it seems that I haven't fully convinced yet. Hehehu, I'm looking forward to the day when I go to a high-end restaurant for a date with Xiaoqi!"

"You, you, you are obviously a college student, and you still act like a child..."

While the non-nutritive dialogue was going on, the two started the third round of the battle for victory.

This time Yuihama Yui's fireworks failed to burn for the first time.

On the other side, the fireworks of Hikigu Hachiman burned beautifully.

"Good! Good! It's really a good firework, super beautiful! It's so beautiful! This is the best firework in the world! I love you!"

Hikigaya Hachiman praised the fireworks representing victory that emitted bright sparks.

"Hey—you said that I look like a child, obviously Xiaoqi looks more like a child now, okay?! And you said this to a firework, really, even if it is a firework, it would really make people envious to say—— !"

Yuigahama Yui puffed up her cheeks while placing the unburned fireworks on the left side of the bucket.

Small businesses can't praise things other than themselves in front of their faces, even if it's fireworks!

"No problem. Yui, you are cute and cute too. I love you too—"

"It's so casual! Well, as a punishment, let's go to a high-end restaurant on our next date...!"

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was in a good mood, coaxed Yuigahama Yui like a child, but she became active.

What follows is the fourth round of winning and losing, where both sides win [-] empty bags and [-] empty bag.

"Ah, it's burning!"

"Me too."

The fireworks of the two emit beautiful sparks of the same color, and the beautiful fire lights complement each other.

"Let's just confirm, what should we do in case of a tie?"

When Hikigaya Hachiman asked, Yuihama Yui made a thoughtful gesture and answered.

"Hmmm... Wouldn't it be nice if it was a tie? How about going to the family restaurant for a meal with the two of you then?"

"Well, that's okay...but let's talk about it first, don't continue to complain."

Hikigaya Hachiman tried to hold back in order to prevent another trap, and a wry smile appeared on Yuihihama Yui's face.

"Got it. No problem."

Well, as long as it's not Salia, it's really not like a place where boyfriends and girlfriends should go, but it's very good to satisfy hunger.

It is suitable for a date to go to a warmer family restaurant.

"Okay. Then the fifth battle is coming—since it's the last, it's okay to choose the fireworks that determine fate with your own hands?"

Yuhihama Yui quickly selected his own fireworks, and gave the bag containing the fireworks to Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Which one is better..."

Hikigu Hachiman has no ability, and has turned off his intuitive perception, only choosing the right one from the appearance of the fireworks.

On the premise of completely ignoring... it would be better to choose the one with more gunpowder as much as possible?

In this case, even if there is a little moisture on the outside, there may still be a good part inside.

"It's decided! I'm betting on this guy!"

Hikigaya Hachiman grabbed a firework that contained the most gunpowder.

"Sometimes Xiaoqi is really like a child...Okay, after one or two, take it close to the candle? One, two!"

Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama Yui simultaneously lit the fireworks with the fire of the candle.

Yuigahama Yui was surrounded by restless tension.

Is it a win, a loss, or a tie?

The outcome of the outcome with all possibilities is——

"...It won't burn."

"......me too."

"Ahaha, I really don't know whether it's better to say anticlimactic or weak. If you want me to say that at least it's better if both sides succeed and draw!"

Rescued from the tension, Yuigahama Yui smiled while complaining.

"For us, maybe this scene is more suitable for us, and maybe it is."

Hikigaya Hachiman was similarly surrounded by a sense of liberation, and responded with a relaxed tone.

Wow, messed up with a bunch of sparklers.

But the target is Bihama Yui, as long as she can be happy, everything is fine.

"Huh...then, if it's a tie, let's clean it up. Then head to the family restaurant—"

"Since you have prepared fireworks, Yuigahama Yui, then I will clean them up."

After Hikigaya Hachiman proposed this, Yuihama Yui also nodded in agreement.

"Really? Thank you. Then I will contact my roommate at this time and say that I will go back later?"

"Well. Be careful on the road—"

After seeing Yuigahama Yui who left for the phone call, Hikigaya Hachiman started to pack his things.

Yuigahama Yui is a boarding student, so he has to follow the gate control.

Then, pour out the water in the bucket and take the garbage away.Put the wet sparklers in a plastic bag and put them in your schoolbag and you're done.

"...For the time being, it would be better to immerse the unburned fireworks in water."

It would be terrible if it exploded in the schoolbag.

Although he is not afraid of these things at all, but if he is seen by passers-by...

It's also very difficult to be regarded as a terrorist.

Thinking of this, Hikigaya Hachiman turned his gaze to the fireworks that the two people placed on both sides of the bucket failed to ignite.
