Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

"It's not good if you're not thin."

"...No, it's actually quite appropriate, Yukinoshita."

"Yes. That would be great..."

Speaking softly, Yukinoshita paused,

"...Hi, Hikigu-kun?"

"what?"

"......I can do nothing......"

"......yes."

"Do you care?"

"No, nothing."

"That's it..."

Yukinoshita's stubborn expression turned into a smile.

cute guy.

Really.

"What are you laughing at. Hikigaya-kun, I'm not interested at all?"

"Just laughing. By the way, what's for dinner? I want to eat hot pot..."

"Hey?"

"Do you want me to go on holidays too...cooking..."

"Ah, there is no such thing..."

"Then it's decided. Let's go together?"

After saying that, Yukinoshita shyly held out her hand to me who stood up.

"......Have no idea."

Sighing in confusion, Yukinoshita smiled again and held my hand.

"The meat is Mr. Biqigu's treat?"

"No, I have all of them... I have also asked for the food expenses up to now."

"Is Hikigu-kun a bran and gluten pie?"

"Is that the boss's strange pride?"

While chatting, the two of us set off.

There is no special time, just experiencing happiness together.

The frozen time between me and her started to turn again.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"Ah, hello---. Senior~~, this way~~"

The moment Hikigaya Hachiman stepped into the tea shop, Isshiroha, who arrived one step ahead of Hikigaya Hachiman, immediately waved and shouted to Hikigaya Hachiman.

"You've been so energetic since morning, that guy..."

While muttering softly, Hikiya Hachiman walked towards her and sat opposite her.

"It's a shame you came so early, senior~~. Do you really want to meet me?"

"You called me out, right?"

Hikigaya Hachiman rolled his eyes at Isshiroha who was talking inappropriately in front of him as usual.

The time is now seven thirty in the morning.

At this earlier time than usual, the two met in this way.

"Isn't it because I have something to do this afternoon and I can't meet up~ In that case, I thought that senior~~ might feel lonely, so I made a special time to say this?"

Isshiroha pursed his lips for some reason, and said so with a look of kindness to Hikigaya Hachiman.

"It's you who will be lonely, right?"

"Hmm... this explanation makes sense. Ah, but my girlfriend who feels lonely because I can't meet her boyfriend is also cute. She's a little cuter than before, I... ...Right? Senior~seni—☆"

"You guy, why did you go up a little bit in the level of narcissism?"

Feeling helpless, Hikigaya Hachiman decided to stop the conversation and took the menu from the table.

Then, Isshiroha immediately reacted to Hikiya Hachiman's actions, and his expression suddenly brightened.

“The breakfast here is highly rated. The muffins are especially recommended~”

Neon muffins are a bit different from other types of muffins: most muffins are a thin piece of neon that pulls up the center and cooks to a fairly mushy consistency.

Since it is a food that all the feathers of one color agree with, it must taste first-class.

"Hey, is that so? Then, let's order a piece of toast."

"Why, senior, you completely ignored my opinion!"

Hikigaya Hachiman pressed the small bell to call the clerk.

In short, amidst Isshiroba's constant murmurs, Hikigu Hachiman ordered a toast set meal, and Isshiroha ordered a pancake.

While the two were waiting for their meal.

Isshiroba spoke out and started chatting with Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Speaking of which, Iroha, what is the first lesson today?"

"The two of us are in different grades. Why are you asking this...well, it's advanced mathematics...Senior~~, have you done the homework assigned by the professor?"

Although they are in different grades, some classes are taught together because of their different majors.

"Wow, that's true."

Because of the reason Yukinoshita Yukino got tired of crooked with Yukinoshita Yukino after returning to the apartment, until just now than Kigu Hachiman readily forgot about it.

"Oh my, really. It's great to confirm with you~"

Isshiroha was probably pleased that it was as expected.

Although I was a little dissatisfied with Isshiroha's gloating in his heart, it was actually Hikigu Hachiman's fault, so he couldn't say anything about counterattack.

However, he also knew why Yi Caiyu showed such gloating and eagerly hinted at what he should do.

For this quirky little devil, Hikigu Hachiman was also a little helpless when facing her.

"That's really helpful. Come to think of it, there's one thing I want to ask Isiroha who is very smart, cute and gentle?"

"Oh—? If you are praised to that extent, you have to listen to it. Then I agree, why don't you listen to it, senior?"

Facing Isshiroha, who was very, very quite complacent, Hikigaya Hachiman deeply lowered his head unwillingly.

"Please let me 'reference' your homework."

"There's really nothing you can do about Senior. You can, but there are conditions~"

Unsurprisingly, Isshiroba raised the price directly, but this was also expected by Hikigaya Hachiman, so he didn't say much, but asked directly what the conditions were.

"... what condition?"

"Just to compliment me! If you can make me feel better, I'll show you the corresponding pages...?"

All of a sudden, there is a more troublesome condition than doing homework by yourself, this guy.

"By the way, the compliment just now is worth a page's worth of points. There are still nine pages left for homework, come on, senior~~"

"Damn...you damn narcissist—"

"Ah, by the way, there is a system of negative points. If it really becomes negative, then of course it won't be shown?"

"—What an excellent girlfriend. Hikigaya Hachiman is really lucky to be able to associate with such a person! (Read without emotion)"

"Okay, one more page. Eight pages to go!"

As the price of being able to refer to the homework, Hikiya Hachiman, who felt that he had lost something important, had to play with Isshiroha.

Even so, it would be hard work if you want to refer to all of them under this condition, only in terms of spirit.

"I can't help it. Solve the easy questions by yourself, and only refer to your homework for the difficult parts."

"Yeah. If you don't do it yourself, you can't become a part of knowledge. Come on, senior~~"

Thus, Hikigaya Hachiman took out his textbook and notebook from his backpack, and began to answer the questions on the homework page.

During this period, for some reason, Isshiroha kept staring at Hikigaya Hachiman with great interest.

"...Hey. It's okay to check your phone. Even if you stare at me like this, you won't find any fun."

Hikigaya Hachiman provoked this because of a subtle feeling of unnaturalness, but Isshiroha smiled mischievously for some reason.

"Is that so? I enjoy seeing the face of my boyfriend who is working hard, isn't it?"

Isshiroba was saying some subtle and shameful words again.

"Hey...you'd better look at your phone. Staring at me like that, I can't concentrate."

"Okay, okay. Well, it's only natural to feel nervous when you're stared at by a cute girl like me. I'm sorry I didn't think about it, senpai~~"

"Although there is something to complain about, but it's too troublesome, so let's just treat it like that."

After Isshiroha looked away from Hikigaya Hachiman, Hikigaya Hachiman started to solve the problem again.

At the beginning, the solution was quite smooth, but when the problem gradually became more difficult, Hikigu Hachiman's hand gradually slowed down.

"I kept you waiting, this is a toast set and muffin set."

At this time, perhaps because he was too concentrated to notice, the clerk had already delivered the dishes ordered by the two to the table.

"It just so happened that the hands stopped, so why don't you take a rest?"

"that's true."

It would be quite disrespectful to the person who prepares the food to miss out on fresh baked goods.

Hikigaya Hachiman put the textbook and notebook aside, and moved the toast set in front of him.

"Wow, those muffins look delicious. I'm sorry!"

"Then I'll start too."

Coordinating with Isiroha, Hikigaya Hachiman started eating with her.

The outer skin of the toast is full of crisp taste, but the inner is quite soft and glutinous, and when chewing in the mouth, it exudes the aroma of wheat and butter.

"...delicious indeed."

"Right?"

For some reason, Isshiroha is quite proud of the dishes that he didn't make himself.

However, Bikigu Hachiman was more attracted to the pancake in front of her than this.

"...Hey, I just found out, what is that?"

Probably the reason why Hikigaya Hachiman noticed that Isshiroha's muffins had a rather strange appearance was because he focused on his homework and never came into sight.

How should I put it... It looks like it is loaded on the iron plate that usually places steaks.

"Is this shop's famous teppanyaki soufflé pancake?"

In the scene of the sweet aroma of the burning honey falling on the iron plate, Isshiroha whispered the name of the product.

"Is it famous... It is indeed quite shocking."

"The taste is also very good. Why don't you try it?"

Isshiroha used a knife and fork to cut the muffins, and then handed them to Hikigu Hachiman's mouth.

"Then, if this is the case, it should also be a sugar supplement during study."

"Well, ah-um."
