Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

"I feel really unreliable, this..."

Isshiroba also nodded in agreement with Hikigaya Hachiman's subtly uneasy feelings about the boat.

"Really. Well, I'm pretty calm right now, so I think it's okay. Ah, if you're scared, you can hold my hand, okay?"

"Who will hold it, and why do you think I'm afraid?"

"Even if you don't feel scared, it's okay to hold my hand, right?"

"Who will hold..."

While the meaningless conversation was going on, the two also boarded the boat.

When the two began to paddle the boat, the shaking was much stronger than before.

"Wow, it's pretty good at shaking."

"That's right."

So Hikigu Hachiman decided to slow down the speed of rowing a little and enjoy the scenery leisurely.

But, for some reason, Isiroba looked dissatisfied.

"Hmm... I really don't understand how to slow down..."

"What's the matter, would you like to hurry up?"

"No, if the speed increases, won't the boat start to rock? In that case, wouldn't there be a chance to get in touch with me who is out of balance? Senior——, it's a pity to lose this opportunity~~"

"It was my mistake to listen to you carefully."

Hikigaya Hachiman thought in his heart that he would continue with safety as the first priority.

As the boat advanced, we also came to the center of the lake.

Looking at this beautiful lake and red leaves in the center is also unique. Just as Hikigaya Hachiman was thinking this way, Isshiroha took out something in the bag.

"Look! I rented fishing rods and lures at the counter just now. Now that you're all here, why don't you try fishing too?"

Yishishiyu proudly took out two fishing rods.

...As expected of the student council president, he is a well-prepared guy.

"Fishing. It's been a long time since I played, since middle school?"

"It's my first time. So please teach me how to do it, senior."

After speaking, hand the rod and bait to Isshiroba of Hiki Valley Hachiman.

What a guy who is well prepared but has no plans.

What if I don't know how to fish either.

Hikigaya Hachiman thought so.

"In short, let me attach the bait for you, and throw it as you like. Then you can live with the situation, right?"

"The explanation is too casual! Forget it, anyway, my genius will always make it."

Hikigaya Hachiman explained casually, and Isshiroha also accepted it casually.

Although it has been a long time since I did it, I still remember the method of attaching baits. After Hikigaya Hachiman attached the baits to the two fishing rods, he handed one of them to Kazushiroha.

"take it."

"Thank you, senior——. Then, let's fight to see who catches it first?"

"As you wish. The loser will swim back to the shore, shall we?"

"The punishment game is too difficult! Just go to the small shop to treat guests to ice cream!"

"Then, this is it."

After such a small quarrel, the two threw their fishing rods towards the lake.

Watch as the bait pops into the water and floats to the surface.

If Hikigaya Hachiman was fishing alone, he would pull the line, shake the fishing rod, and do some work in order to successfully catch the fish, but now he wants to enjoy this leisure time, so he didn't do anything special, just Just looking at the bait floating on the water.

"It always feels so peaceful——"

Yi Caiyu probably has the same mentality, instead of a competitive mentality, he just enjoys fishing leisurely.

"That's right."

The ripples created by the bait blurred the red leaves reflected on the water.

Hikigaya Hachiman and Isshiroba watched the scene like that.

"えいっ...Senior?"

Isshiroha suddenly placed her shoulders on Hikigaya Hachiman's shoulders, and pressed her weight over.

"...What's the matter, all of a sudden?"

A mischievous smile appeared on Isshiroba's face, looking at Hikigaya Hachiman who was a little surprised by the sudden contact.

"Huh—? Didn't you see that the boat was shaking and made me lose my balance?"

"The water surface is so calm that people think it is flat land."

"Really? I feel a strong wave!"

After sighing in response to Isshiroha's stupid remark, Hikigu Hachiman looked towards the water.

Suddenly, the fake bait on the feather pole of one color sank into the water.

"Hey, wow, that, I always feel like the fishing rod is being torn off with great force!"

"There must be a fish caught. I lost."

Hikigu Hachiman sighed a little, but Isshiroha didn't show off his victory, but was very flustered.

"Wait, help, help, senior——It feels a little scary!"

"There's nothing you can do"

Hikigaya Hachiman went to the opposite side of Isiroha who was in a state of timidity, pulled up the fishing rod, and helped Isshiroha catch the fish.

"Wait a minute! This posture is like cutting a cake at a wedding! Don't be shy!"

"Obviously I'm scared, but there's still room to spare, hey. Well, in that case, I'll come behind you."

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was subtly ashamed for saying something strange, went behind Isshiroha and pulled the fishing rod instead.

...Well, this has turned into a situation where Yishishiyu is completely contained in his wrist, I feel a little shy.

No, no, don't think about anything weird and focus on the fish first.

"...Mmm. This guy is very strong."

The power coming from the fishing rod was stronger than expected, and it would be difficult for Isshiroha to deal with it alone.

The theory is that this type of fish will become weaker over time.

...However, if this is really the case, it means that this close-fitting state must continue forever.

"One Color Feather, let me count to one or two and pull them up together?"

"Ming, I understand!"

Hoping to avoid that point, Hikigaya Hachiman decided to use the two of them to forcefully pull the fish directly to the surface of the water.

"Here we go...one, two!"

Following the signal from Hikigaya Hachiman, the power of the two of them was transmitted to the fishing rod.

The opposite fish also swam towards the bottom of the sea, causing the fishing rod to bend.

This guy, is he still willing to come up...!

In this way, the state of confrontation with each other was maintained for one second, two seconds, and three seconds.

With a plop, the feel of the fish is lost from the rod.

Oops, the shredded fish is broken!

"what!?"

"Whoa—!"

Hikiya Hachiman, who was kicked back by the force, fell down on the boat because his feet were on the unstable boat and he couldn't stabilize his body.

Then, a colorful feather also fell on him.

A slightly lower body temperature than his, and a girl's unique soft touch.

There was also a nice smell in the air.

"...Senior, senpai—!? This, this, this method of intimate contact is not acceptable!"

Then, Isshiroha left Hiki Valley Hachiman with a flushed face.

Because seeing someone who was more panicked than himself calmed him down, and his mind that was about to boil also cooled down.

"No, you posted it yourself just now, why not this time?"

"It's fine if it's from me! But this kind of sneak attack is not allowed! You are completely unaware!"

Still the same woman who is quite weak in dealing with attacks.

"Really, really. Senior—you...ah!?"

Ishiroha, who was shaking violently on the boat due to the shaking, lost her balance again.

"Danger!"

Before she was about to fall, Hikigu Hachiman reached out and grabbed her wrist to prevent her from falling into the lake.

But the price is that this time it became the posture of the two hugging each other.

"Ex, senior——"

"Ah, no, don't move! I can't help you every time!"

Isshiroha fell into a state of panic again and wanted to escape from his wrist, Hikigaya Hachiman chose to hug her tightly.

Entered a state of panic in an infinite loop.

"Woo, woo..."

Isshiroha, who finally understood the current situation, calmed down in Hikigaya Hachiman's arms with a blushing face.

In other words, the current situation has become that the two are quietly hugging each other.

"Ex, senpai——, that's great. Being able to get close by losing balance on a small boat. Being able to give another chance to a boyfriend who personally sabotaged a chance, I'm really an excellent girlfriend!"

Yishishiyu's face turned red, and tears were seeping from the corners of his eyes, but he still made the same narcissistic speech as before.

"...That's right. Then, let me make the most of this rare opportunity."

For some reason, Bikigu Hachiman, who was a little unhappy, injected a little more strength into the wrist holding Isiroha.

"Wha, wait...that's too embarrassing...!"

The next moment, probably because the current situation has exceeded the amount of shame that Yi Shiroyu can tolerate, after making a wonderful cry, he fell silent.

The sinking was successful.

The two who got off the boat and returned their fishing rods were leisurely on the shore looking at the lake.

Isshiroha, who sat next to Hikigaya Hachiman on the bench, let out a deep sigh.

"Really, it's been a lot of misery. The boat was bumpy, the fishing failed, and I was harassed by X."

"Please don't say something that is easy to be misunderstood by others. That is force majeure, and if that level is considered X harassment, isn't what happened between the two of us in bed unforgivable?"

There is no shame at all, it is a formal act of saving lives.

However, Isshiroba looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with complaining eyes and upturned eyes.

"...The last one, the one you hold tightly?"

"That's just an imbalance in the boat."

Hikigu Hachiman kept a parked face, dealing with Isiroba's complaints.

"Hmm... Really, it's really embarrassing..."
