Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

Secondly, when he speaks, his voice is a little weak, and he rarely has emotional fluctuations, as if he is just a vocal machine without emotion.

This combined with Bi Qigu Hachiman's melancholy and gloomy temperament......

No matter how enthusiastic a person is, when you get along with him for the first time, you will feel that it is not easy to get along with him.

However, although Hikigaya Hachiman gives people the feeling that he is melancholy or mournful, he is not a person who talks vulgarly or utters violent words.His tone is always cold, but if you listen carefully, you can find that what he actually said is very ordinary.

Just a little more mature than youthful.

The same is true for Tsurumi Rumi.

If she hadn't met him at a summer camp in elementary school, she wouldn't have had the chance to get to know Hikigaya Hachiman.

The two will not develop the relationship they have today.

"It's a pity that he is always misunderstood by people despite being such an excellent person..."

But that's fine too, as long as everyone feels that Hachiman is difficult to get along with, then there will be far fewer vixens who want to get close to him.

It's just that it's even more troublesome to deal with the vixens who have been screened for the first time.

Tsurumi Rumi thought this way while looking at Hikiya Hachiman who was quietly writing a graduate thesis beside her.

Hikigu Hachiman still looked indifferent, with a calm expression on his face.

He didn't notice Tsurumi Rumi's gaze, and he didn't look at the coffee he made, but just wrote with the automatic pen without saying a word, and seemed to be quite concentrated.

Tsurumi Rumi picked up her cup as quietly as possible, and took a sip of the already warm coffee.

Perhaps Hikigu Hachiman has mastered Tsurumi Rumi's preferences. He added just the right amount of sugar and evaporated milk to the coffee, so that there is a faint, smooth sweetness after the bitterness.

Tsurumi Rumi once said to herself that it is not easy to drink coffee that is too sour. Probably this sentence was kept in mind by Hikiya Hachiman. Afterwards, the coffee beans he bought back and kept at home changed to a different brand. .

After all, Hikigu Hachiman put this in his own home, so he could have done it according to his own preferences, but when Tsurumi Rumi hinted at Hikiya Hachiman with his eyes, he casually smiled and said, "This brand of coffee It tastes better", in this case, Tsurumi Rumi couldn't say anything anymore, so she had to accept his kindness.

How could he be so considerate? When thinking of these things, Tsurumi Rumi felt a little restless.

She took another sip of coffee, and Hikigaya Hachiman looked up.

"You're staring at me like that... Is the coffee bad?"

"No, that's not the case. I was thinking, this coffee is delicious!"

"Really, it's great to meet your taste. Has my coffee-making technique improved a little?"

Hikigaya Hachiman showed a reassuring look, which made Tsurumi Rumi smile.

"After all, when Hachiman used to make coffee, he added too much coffee powder, and as a result, he had to add a lot of water, which overflowed from the filter paper. Why did you add so much?"

"It was just a slip of the hand. I never did that again, lesson learned."

After all, Hikigu Hachiman doesn’t drink coffee often, so he doesn’t know how to make coffee, so he buys coffee powder and cooks according to the ratio that suits him.

Then I realized that this was prepared for Tsurumi Rumi, and I couldn’t arrange the concentration according to his habit, so I could only add water like that if there was too much coffee powder, and if there was too much water, add coffee powder, and then it would overflow.

After getting familiar with it, Hiki Valley Hachiman can now produce high-quality coffee.

However, he doesn't use this technique very often, and spends most of his time giving it to Rumi Tsurumi, a high school student who needs coffee to refresh himself.

Kawasaki Jinghua is a junior high school student, and the pressure of study is not as great as Tsurumi Rumi, so Kawasaki Jinghua does not often drink coffee.

"Well, failure is the mother of success. If Hachiman can learn from failure, those wasted coffee will be worth it."

"...I can understand that this is Rumi, are you playing tricks on me?"

"This isn't a trick, is it?"

Tsurumi Rumi replied with a smile.

As a result, Hikigu Hachiman immediately sighed slightly and said, "But you have a teasing expression", but Hikigu Hachiman probably knew that Tsurumi Rumi was not really making fun of him, because she didn't continue to make any comments.

Bikigu Hachiman, who was sighing and complaining, looked a little more childish than usual, and in the eyes of Tsurumi Rumi, he could already be described as cute.

No, the word cute can no longer describe the person I like.

Very cute, super cute, very cute, in short, very cute.

If he can show this expression more often, he won't be alienated by others, right?

Although Tsurumi Rumi thought so in her heart, she didn't want others to see Hikiya Hachiman's current expression, so she didn't make any suggestions for Hikiya Hachiman for the time being.

Hachiman's cute appearance should be seen by as few people as possible, preferably only me!

But Rumi Tsurumi knew that this was impossible, because leaving aside the other sisters, Yawata's fiancée Yukinoshita Yukino must have seen all kinds of cute expressions of Hachiman.

But Yawata's fiancée is really annoying...that guy just has a better family background.

The most beautiful girl in Chiba?

She deserves it too?

I don't have to be inferior to her in appearance and personality, and my figure is much better than hers!

That space shuttle airport will never be able to keep up with my size in a lifetime, right?

I'm a noble B-cup, only AA's will stay away!

"Do you want to rest in the United States? I think you are a little dazed."

"Ah! Well, yes, I have finished my homework and homework review, so I plan to take a rest."

After recovering from the criticism of someone, Tsurumi Rumi responded immediately.

"Yeah, then I'll take a break too."

This bit of mental exhaustion actually doesn't need a break at all, but Tsurumi Rumi's personality is more familiar than Kiya Hachiman's. Although she won't do anything to disturb her homework, it's not good to be stared at by her all the time.

So it's better to just rest with her.

Hikigaya Hachiman raised his hands and stretched his waist, moved his shoulders lightly, then stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

??

"I'm going to find some snacks to eat, do you have anything you want to eat?"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the box containing the snacks and asked back.

Tsurumi Rumi replied, "You help me decide."

The food in Hikigu Hachiman's house is basically free for two people to eat.

They prepared a shared snack box, but because they each put in their favorite or recommended snacks that they hope the other party will eat, there is never a shortage of content in this snack box.

Hiki Valley Hachiman will put some new products that Tsurumi Rumi doesn't know how to eat and are relatively new, both sweet and salty, while Tsurumi Rumi will put more sweet snacks.But this is just a matter of preference, Tsurumi Rumi sometimes eats salty snacks.

"I took some casually, are these okay?"

"It's already very grateful for bringing these for me. I'm more free after finishing my homework, so I should have gone to get them."

"But I'm closer to the kitchen, and I brought it up first, don't worry."

Hikigaya Hachiman chuckled and sat down, Tsurumi Rumi, who was about to get up, also sat back, accepted Hikigaya Hachiman's kindness, picked up a bag of biscuits, and opened the package.

Although Tsurumi Rumi can't eat too much, she likes to eat better snacks, and the baked snacks bought by Hikigu Hachiman understanding Tsurumi Rumi's preferences are also suitable for her.

Tsurumi Rumi was careful not to drop any crumbs, and took a bite, and the rich milky fragrance entered her mouth and nose.

Even so, it will not make people feel greasy, but the taste is relatively refreshing.Although Rumi Tsurumi was very concerned about what kind of formula was used, after all, it was impossible to know, so she just tasted it.

Tsurumi Rumi lamented that Hikigaya Hachiman's taste and tongue sensitivity are indeed good, while sipping the biscuit.

Hikigu Hachiman looked at her with some relief in his eyes for some reason.

Although this is not making fun of Tsurumi Rumi, this warm gaze always makes Tsurumi Rumi feel very concerned.

"......Is there a problem?"

After Tsurumi Rumi ate the biscuit completely, she asked Hikiya Hachiman.Hikigaya Hachiman seemed a little embarrassed to answer and said:

"Well, what should I say."

"Is there something wrong with me?"

"I didn't mean that.  …I just thought you were so cute like a little animal."

But it's not from the heart, Hikigu Hachiman previously regarded Tsurumi Rumi as his daughter.

Seeing Tsurumi Rumi grow up from a small appearance in elementary school to a tall high school student now, I always feel gratified.

But it's true that Hikigu Hachiman thinks she's cute, and she really looks like a cute little animal when she nibbles on biscuits.

"Hachiman...is this a compliment to me?"

"I was going to praise you."

This should be how Hikigu Hachiman felt when she saw her eating. Tsurumi Rumi felt a little shy and happy at the same time, and couldn't look directly at Hikigu Hachiman, so she had to turn her head to look aside.

What, serious heart beating while saying such provocative words...

It's really not good for the heart sometimes.

Tsurumi Rumi knew that Hikigaya Hachiman was someone who would not lie, at least not to her.

Although there will be times when he wants to hide something and get away with it, but he will not lie to hurt others.

Because he is a person who is not frank on the surface but is very upright, Tsurumi Rumi feels even more shy, and her eyes wander around.

Obviously he is used to being praised by others, but if the other party is Hikigaya Hachiman, he will always be like this.

Although his parents' influence on Bi Kigu Hachiman's growth was basically negative, they still taught him some positive things. For example, he became a person who could express his praise clearly.

But this is in a sense worse for Tsurumi Rumi.

In addition, Hikigaya Hachiman can take care of Tsurumi Rumi's feelings very carefully, not only this time, but his every move will often become something that is not good for Tsurumi Rumi's heart.

Recently, when he knew that Tsurumi Rumi was coming back later, he would come to pick up Tsurumi Rumi calmly.

When walking together, he would match Tsurumi Rumi's stride and walk quietly on the side of the driveway.

He would take the schoolbag that Tsurumi Rumi was carrying, and when Tsurumi Rumi was not in good health, he would immediately notice and take care of Tsurumi Rumi without any trace.

He is also surprisingly sensitive to changes in his appearance, always praising Tsurumi Rumi's changes in hairstyle and clothing.

In addition, because Tsurumi Rumi has lived here more times, Hikigaya Hachiman moved the things that Tsurumi Rumi often used to within her reach.

In order for Tsurumi Rumi to reach the high things, a small stool was also prepared.

Tsurumi Rumi is of course very grateful to Hikiya Hachiman for eliminating all these difficulties that are not easy to notice, but being able to do this very naturally without mentioning it also gave Tsurumi Rumi a feeling that he will really be great in the future .

Tsurumi Rumi initially thought that Hikigaya Hachiman was unreliable, incoherent in speech, and doing things as he wanted, but as long as you get to know him more, you will find that he actually has a very good character.

It's just a little fiddly... But it can't be his fault, it's all the fault of those shameless vixens.

That's right, Hikigaya Hachiman is a very good senior, a very good friend, and also a very good——

Tsurumi Rumi thought about this, her face suddenly flushed.

"what happened to you?"

Seeing Tsurumi Rumi blushing suddenly, Hikigu Hachiman was a little surprised.Hearing his calm but worried voice, Tsurumi Rumi tried her best to hide the wavering in her heart, and smiled softly.

"...Hachiman, why are you always so unconscious of what you do?"

"What you said, I always feel that suddenly someone wants to quarrel with me."

This time it was Tsurumi Rumi who didn't understand what she said.If she didn't know what Tsurumi Rumi was thinking about, her words would sound like accusing Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Stupid Hachiman..."

Before Hikigu Hachiman asked why he said that suddenly, Tsurumi Rumi's figure grew bigger in his pupils.

Then the rich milky taste of the biscuits exploded in his mouth.

Hikigaya Hachiman felt the embrace of the active high school girl and patted her on the back lightly.

Really, it's better to clean your mouth while doing these things, right?

If you do this, I can only taste the biscuits, okay?

Chapter 24 In the bathroom or something, it's absolutely impossible next time! (Kawasaki Saki)

Perhaps because of the need to take care of the family as the eldest daughter, Saki Kawasaki had to maximize her housekeeping ability.

But to be honest, the workaholic Kawasaki Saki actually likes cleaning.

When Hikigaya Hachiman first moved to the rented apartment near the university, she accompanied Hikigaya Hachiman to clean his house.
