Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

Tsurumi Rumi bowed her head politely, followed Hikigaya Hachiman's invitation and stepped into the living room.

For the convenience of observation, Hikigaya Hachiman temporarily removed the small table, cleared the window, and placed Tsurumi Rumi's favorite cushions.

Hikigaya Hachiman also prepared a small blanket for Tsurumi Rumi to put on her lap, but she was a little thin, so he took out a big coat that was prepared just in case and put it on her shoulders before sitting down. next to her.

"It's really well prepared."

"Do you think I'm so bad at preparing?"

Hikigaya Hachiman smiled and took the remote control to turn off the light, then Tsurumi Rumi's body trembled slightly.

"Sorry, I should have said it before closing it."

"It's okay... just a little scared."

However, she secretly grabbed the sweatpants on Hikigu Hachiman's body, and Hikigu Hachiman felt that maybe this matter should not be said.

So without saying a word, without being unnatural, he slightly leaned his body towards Rumi Tsurumi, and then quietly looked out the window.

Although I don't usually notice it, but now I look at the sky carefully, only to find that the sky shows a magical color, which is close to black navy blue mixed with a little blue and purple, as if clear and transparent, but completely Can't see through.It even gives people a feeling that the quiet color seems to be to highlight the stars inlaid in the sky.

Perhaps the air is clearer than usual today, and the tiny brilliance dotting the sky can be clearly seen.

Hikigaya Hachiman silently lamented the beautiful night sky in his heart, staring at Tsurumi Rumi from the corner of his eye, while she quietly looked up at the sky through the window.

The moonlight illuminated Tsurumi Rumi's straight outline.

The long eyelashes seem to exude a soft light under the faint light. This may be the illusion of Hikiya Hachiman, or it may be that his eyes have added special effects to the person he likes.

However, it is clear that Tsurumi Rumi sitting next to him is different from usual, exuding a delicate, illusory but inexplicably alluring charm.

"...It's really beautiful. Although I haven't found a shooting star yet, the scenery like this is good enough."

Tsurumi Rumi seemed to have noticed Hikigaya Hachiman's gaze, and smiled slightly at him.Hikigu Hachiman suddenly realized that he saw selflessness, so he nodded accordingly.

"Yeah. I haven't watched the stars quietly at this late night before, and it feels quite fresh."

"It's very simple to calm down and look at the stars, but it's not easy to do in the busy modern society."

"Yes. It's a pity that it's not easy to see here. If you were in your hometown, you could lay down on a picnic mat in the yard and watch it. It's also clearer than here."

In the area where Hikigaya Hachiman's hometown is located, there is less traffic than here, and there are fewer artificial lights, and the starry sky is very beautiful.

The yard is quite big, and it has been tidied up well, so you can lay out mats to watch the starry sky.Hikigaya Hachiman remembered that when he was a child, although he didn't watch the meteor shower, he used to look up at the starry sky with Komachi, so the corners of his lips curled up nostalgic.

"Hehe, it's great just thinking about it."

"After all, it's a bit more rural than here, and the scenery over there is also very beautiful."

"That's great. My house is on a high-rise apartment building, and the night sky is beautiful too...but it must be much more beautiful from my hometown in Yawata."

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't know how to respond to Tsurumi Rumi's words, but Tsurumi Rumi just smiled slightly and silently looked away—as if looking into the distance.

"Looking at the night sky like this now, I feel much more beautiful than before."

"......yes."

After Hikigaya Hachiman responded, he stopped talking and looked up at the sky as well.

Shall I go to the balcony?Hikigu Hachiman thought for a while, now that Tsurumi Rumi is by his side, it's better not to leave her.So he just stared at the starry sky quietly.

Sending the ancient brilliance to the modern starry sky will not say anything to Hikigu Hachiman and the others, but only emits a steady faint light to illuminate the dark night.

The room fell silent.Miraculously, there was a comforting tension in the silence.

Only the sound of each other's breathing, the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, and the sound of car horns in the distance can be heard.

Then I don't know how long it took.

???????????????

Tsurumi Rumi let out a childish voice softly.

It was an unspoken "ah".

Hikigaya Hachiman instinctively looked at Tsurumi Rumi, and saw her clear eyes gliding across the sky as if chasing something.

Those shining eyes that are not inferior to the stars made Hikigu Hachiman stare blankly at her side face - it took a beat to realize that she was the one who discovered the shooting star.

Hikigaya Hachiman also looked out, but the lifespan of the meteor is short, and it has already burned out.

Pity.However, it might be nice to see something more beautiful than a shooting star.

"...Did you make a wish?"

"I think the wish I made on Meteor will only come true if I don't say it."

"Is that right?"

"And the wish I just made...it should be said to be a blessing or an oath is more correct."

"That's why it's a secret." Tsurumi Rumi said shyly, and then looked straight at Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Did Hachiman make a wish?"

"Uh...no, I didn't make any wishes either."

Of course Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't tell that he was fascinated by Tsurumi Rumi's side face, so he tried to perfunctory, but his heart seemed to be exposed, Tsurumi Rumi smiled and said, "You didn't look at it seriously, did you?"

"Well... I'll find it next time."

"Hehe, come on?"

Tsurumi Rumi put her hand to her mouth and smiled, then looked out of the window again.

This time Hikigaya Hachiman didn't want to be laughed at by Tsurumi Rumi again, so he was going to seriously look for Meteor.At this time, he noticed that Tsurumi Rumi's body trembled.

In spring, it will still be cold at night. Even though the air conditioner is on, Hikigaya Hachiman's body feels different from Tsurumi Rumi's.In addition, Tsurumi Rumi's body temperature is not high, even with a coat and blankets, it may still not be warm enough.

Hikigu Hachiman thought that he didn't think enough about Bikigu Hachiman, so he quietly peeped at Tsurumi Rumi's face, and saw that her eyes seemed to be wide open in fright.

"......are you cold?"

"No, I have the coat that Hachiman lent me, it's no problem...it's a big one, and it's very warm."

"......That's good."

Tsurumi Rumi, who put on her coat tightly, smiled.

The coat that Tsurumi Rumi wore looked too big for her.

Tsurumi Rumi was grabbing Hikigaya Hachiman's clothes with her fingers showing her cuffs slightly, this look was also very cute.

"...Well, I'm going to prepare some hot drinks."

"what......"

Tsurumi Rumi's weak voice and a little resistance locked Hikigaya Hachiman's body to the floor.

Tsurumi Rumi was holding the hand of the clothes just now, but now she is holding the hand of Hikigaya Hachiman, as if saying "don't leave".

The slender fingers were very cold, indeed colder than usual.Hikigu Hachiman also felt that she was not shivering from the cold.

"Hey, sorry to bother you..."

"No, it's fine...Rumi's hands are quite cold."

After Tsurumi Rumi noticed her current appearance, she hurriedly moved away her slender fingertips, but this time, Hikigaya Hachiman took the initiative to hold her hand up and wrap it around hers.

She immediately showed a relieved look, so Hikigu Hachiman speculated that although she didn't say it, she was afraid of being left alone.

Tsurumi Rumi lightly held Hikigaya Hachiman's hand as if begging, and lowered her eyes slightly.Maybe she's a little shy, but she doesn't intend to let go of Hikigu Hachiman anymore.

"It's just that Hachiman's hands are warmer. Hachiman makes people feel very warm, and it's very comfortable to stay by your side."

"yes."

Hikigu Hachiman didn't ask what exactly "comfort" means, but at least what I can know is that she has a good impression of Bikigu Hachiman.

For the current Hiki Valley Hachiman, this is enough.

Rumi Tsurumi, who was gently holding hands, glanced at the clock.

Hikigaya Hachiman narrowed his eyes to check the time on it.It has been nearly two hours since I started watching meteors.

"It's the first time I've stayed up so late. I usually only wake up at this time when I can't sleep. What a bad boy."

"Be a bad boy once in a while. I'll be with you, too."

"...Hehe, can I be a bad boy?"

"Everyone has a time to be a good boy or a bad boy. No one is a sage, so it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you are a bad boy for a day. And there are only you and me here, and no one will criticize or have any opinions."

"As long as we keep it a secret, it's fine." Hikigaya Hachiman said with a smile, and Tsurumi Rumi also laughed.

With a smile that seemed to be redeemed, showing peace of mind and happiness, Tsurumi Rumi took Hikigaya Hachiman's hand again, and leaned her body against it.

The momentary body stiffness was not regarded as rejection by Tsurumi Rumi, Hikigaya Hachiman pretended to be calm, at this time Tsurumi Rumi brought his face to his ear.

"...Can I be a little bit worse?"

"Okay, what are you going to do?"

"...I'm hungry, how about some supper?"

Tsurumi Rumi might think this is a bad thing, her small voice was mixed with a little guilt.

For Tsurumi Rumi, it seems that it takes courage to do these trivial so-called "bad things".

Hearing such cute bad things, Hikigaya Hachiman nodded with a peaceful smile.

"I'm all for it, let's do bad things together?"

Eating instant noodles with a lot of toppings in the middle of the night is just the right thing to do.

After Hikigaya Hachiman smiled lightly, he finally stood up—this time he took Tsurumi Rumi's hand.

"I remember that there are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, so if you have a rare opportunity, add them all in?"

"...Eating like this in the middle of the night will cause indigestion?"

"After all, it's a bad thing, and there's nothing you can do about it."

Hikigaya Hachiman replied with a chuckle, Tsurumi Rumi also showed a slightly excited smile.

The two walked towards the kitchen with a smile.

This time, the holding hand no longer trembled.

Chapter 28 Daughters' Valentine's Day (2)

"Why are my father's daughters all such characters..."

Seeing Chuhua Hikigaya and Miyuki Hikigaya staring at each other and refusing to back down even a single step, and then looking at what to say but not knowing what to do, Nanako Hikigaya sighed helplessly in a low voice With emotion.

"what?"

"what?"

"What's wrong with Chuhua and Miyuki? Uh...Did Nanako say anything before?"

The two girls who were burning with anger glared at Nanako Hikigu fiercely, while Sugarcoat Hikigu, who hadn't noticed anything, also looked curiously at Nanako Hikigu when he saw the movements of the two girls who were quarreling.

Nanako Hikigu was also taken aback by the reactions of the three of them, but she, who was calm by nature, quickly adjusted her mentality and recovered.

Really, I was almost bluffed by these three idiots.

By the way, after reflecting a little on why she shouldn't have slipped and said what was in her heart, Nanako Hikigu changed the topic as usual, and diverted herself from the center of public opinion.

"So what's wrong with the chocolate? Do you want to come to the supermarket to buy ingredients for making chocolate?"

"Icing she said that she wanted to make some homemade chocolates for others... I was asked by her to come with me..."

Hikigu Miyuki's face was a little hot, although she couldn't see her current expression, but feeling the burning sensation on her face, she could be sure that her expression was a little abnormal now.

Because she told a little lie, Biqigu Sugarcoat didn't ask her to come, but she took the initiative to bring Biqigu Sugarcoat to the supermarket.

Since she was a child, she followed the example of her mother Hikigu Yukino, and she naturally tried her best to learn from her upright mother in most cases.

As for why it is considered honest in most cases...

It is true that Biqi Guxue is a person who sticks to his own ideas, loves to be aggressive in dealing with things, is very strict with others and himself, hates failure, is upright and has a sense of justice.

But once the matter has something to do with her husband Hikigu Hachiman, then she is like a completely different person, and the principles she has always adhered to can be easily distorted for her husband.

Specifically how to distort...
