Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

"Is this a lobster?" I asked with a piece of shrimp

"Yes, this is Boston lobster. Although Ise lobster is more fresh and sweet, the quality of Boston lobster is better this season..." Very good, besides Snow Encyclopedia and Cat Encyclopedia, congratulations to Miss Yukinoshita Awarded the new title of Lobster Encyclopedia!

Seeing that I didn't respond, Yukinoshita stopped the long talk and sincerely apologized to me: "I don't understand your feelings as a kind, I'm really sorry..." So when will this stalk be used!Although lobster is also good, deep-sea fish is more rich in DHA, isn't it?No, why did I naturally associate myself with sea creatures...

"... Is it delicious?" Yukinoshita asked a little uneasy.

"Well, it's delicious... probably tell me that it's a work from a star-rated restaurant and you'll believe it," I said vaguely.

"Actually, there are a lot of unfinished parts..." She sighed, "Because it was heated once, although the taste is not much different, the meat quality still has obvious changes. The taste should also be sweet. Some, considering your taste..."

"No, that's good enough, there's no reason...but I think so" I said decisively.

Yukinoshita was stunned, and laughed again: "It's really a compliment of your style..."

After dinner, Yukinoshita explained to me the situation of our family, and simulated a few questions that might be asked.The combat meeting continued like this until late at night.

"It's time for me to go back..." Looking at Yukinoshita's tired face, I, who has a third-level appraisal of Yukinoshita, made an accurate judgment.I stood up, ready to say goodbye.

Suddenly, the corner of the clothes was gently grabbed. "This..." A faint mosquito voice behind him said, "It doesn't matter if you don't go back..."

"what?......"

Chapter 140 Two

"Komachi-san also sent your change of clothes... It's not safe to go back so late..." Yukinoshita hesitated.

Needless to say, Komachi must have gotten the news from Yono, and it must have been her idea to send a change of clothes. Komachi seems to be subtly on the same front as that demon...

"Well...but sleep..."

"I have an extra quilt here...I'll take it out" Yukinoshita said, walking towards the bedroom.

The two sisters are exactly the same in terms of talking to themselves... There is no chance of rejection at all.

"That...you don't have to sleep on the same bed..." After taking a shower, I saw the two quilts on the big bed in the bedroom, and suddenly panicked.

"Because it's not a Japanese-style room, I can't pave the floor for you..."

"...that's not the problem..."

"Ah, it seems that Mr. Hikigu has thought of dirty things. Don't worry, even if you are asleep, I am confident that I will throw you out of the window if you behave rudely."

"......I won't do that kind of thing......"

I've been told that, but it's not good until I got under the covers... That Yukinoshita was really sleeping next to me!The slight breathing, the pleasant scent of the shampoo all emphasized this fact to my nerves.No, something bad came to mind again...

"Hikigu-kun..." Yukinoshita's soft voice was very clear in the quiet bedroom, interrupting my thoughts.

"I'm a little uneasy...know why, but it's always been like that...sorry for the weird words..."

"...It is necessary to apologize, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will be very troubled..."

A little restless, dissatisfied with the fact that he couldn't relieve her uneasiness.Even if he was by her side right now, he could only say innocuous words.

I hate myself like this.

"It's not just because of the current situation...Even if we let my mother refuse the meeting request this time, the same thing will happen in the future...We can't always rely on you... ..sister......

The irritability in my heart is becoming more and more obvious, I can't go on like this, I have to do something... right now I have something I can do...

I stretched out my left hand, slowly reached into her quilt, and held her hand so tightly.

"...Bichigu-kun..."

"I'm sorry for being so sudden... It would be a big help if I could reassure you a little... I think so..."

"...Thank you" came a small voice from beside me.

"...It's not enough to thank you, and I can't help you..."

There was a small sound of the quilt rubbing beside me, and Yukinoshita turned sideways, facing my direction.

"Hey, Mr. Hikigu..."

I also turned around, and with some light, I could vaguely see the outline of her beautiful face.

"......What's wrong?"

Yukinoshita slowly stretched out the other hand, gently stretched it into my quilt, put it on my body, and slowly approached me, I stretched out the other hand to wrap around her waist, just like that He gently took her into his arms.

...wait a minute, what did I just do?What an unfolding!Why did I hug Yukinoshita so logically!Will you be beaten?Or will it be silenced?I don't want to be thrown out on the street so late!

"...Sleeping like this...is it okay..." Yukinoshita buried her head in my chest and asked softly.

"..., if you think it's okay..."

Yukinoshita's petite and soft body was held in my arms, like a cute kitten.She is just an ordinary girl who needs care and love after taking off the perfect superman and snow queen coat.I should have realized this a long time ago, I'm really slow...

"Good night......"

"OK, good night......"

Probably because of the peace of mind of being hugged, Yukinoshita, who was already very tired today, quickly fell asleep, breathing evenly, but I couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

The beliefs I uphold with her, the responsibilities I have to take on her, and my feelings for her...all of these became extraordinarily clear on this cold winter night.

I no longer need to rack my brains to find an excuse to act on my base behavior, because from this night on, the irresistible reason that governs all my behavior has been found, and she is now sleeping peacefully in my arms. .

I just don't want her to leave me, I just want her to be by my side forever... Even if it's a selfish, arbitrary, ridiculed idea, I want to make it happen.

Probably because of fear... Fear of the days without her, fear of not being able to see her smiling face, fear of not being able to smell the aroma of black tea, fear of not being able to hold her hand and hug her like today.

I can't imagine or dare to think about life without her. It is this fear of the unknown that makes me afraid, tremble and even cry.

So, no matter what, I will never let go.

"...You are really bolder than Qigu-kun..."

I can't save Yang Nao who always appears in my sleep... Wait a minute, this voice doesn't seem to be a dream?

Opening his eyes, he found that he was still hugging Yukinoshita, and Yono was looking at us with a smile.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"Sister?! How did you get in?" Yukinoshita blushed and questioned Yango.

"I also have a spare key~ But, it seems that it is right to come in without knocking today~" Yang Nai showed that sly smile that I am familiar with.

After simply having breakfast, I put on the men's kimono that Haruno brought, but I couldn't manage it.

"Let me do it." Yukinoshita took the belt in my hand and carefully arranged my clothes.

"It seems that Yukino-chan and Biqigu-kun are more and more like a husband and wife~" Yang Nai joked.

"No!" Yukinoshita and I denied it with one voice, but our faces turned red in spite of ourselves.

After going downstairs, we got into the familiar black business car and drove to Yukinoshita's home.It didn't take long for us to arrive.A traditional Japanese-style building comes into view, and the heavy gate has an overwhelming majesty.Under the guidance of the butler, I was taken to a place that looked like a living room, but Yukinoshita and Yango separated from me in the middle, it seemed that they were going to change their formal attire for receiving guests. Really hard.

"You are Mr. Hikigaya?" A lady in a kimono slowly sat down in front of me, her long black hair was meticulously tied into a bun, her face was similar to Yukinoshita's, but she had an indescribably mature temperament. Yukinoshita's mother.

"Yes, yes...Hello, Auntie, I'm Hikigu Hachiman..." Her sudden arrival almost threw me off my feet.

"Xue Nai's father has something to go out today, please forgive me for the poor reception." She nodded slightly.

"No no...I disturbed your residence today...Are all the women in Yukinoshita's family so difficult to deal with...I almost stuttered from nervousness... .

"Mr. Hikigu hasn't eaten lunch yet. If you don't mind, let's go to the restaurant to have dinner together. Yukino and the others should already be waiting there."

"Hmm...Okay, excuse me then" I stood up and followed Yukinoshita's mother to the restaurant.

The Yukinoshita sisters were already sitting at the table, and they all changed into kimonos, Yang Nao was bright red, while Yukinoshita was light blue, her long hair was curled into a bun, surrounded by a pink A colored hair tie is tied at the back of the head.This hair tie, is it...

"Ah, Yukino-chan is so beautiful today, even Mr. Qigu is dumbfounded~" Yang Nai's teasing words made me realize my gaffe. "No...it's because I haven't seen Yukinoshita-san wearing a kimono..." I tilted my head to one side and replied in embarrassment. "Oh, Mr. Biqigu is really not frank~"

"Yang Nai, stop making trouble." Yukinoshita's mother said flatly.

"Yes~~~~~" Yang Nai returned to his seat with a look of fading interest.

After sitting down, I realized that the dishes on the table are really luxurious...It turns out that the dishes in the luxurious restaurant can really be made at home, but given the special nature of Yukinoshita’s house, it’s not worth it Just be surprised.

"I don't know if these dishes suit your taste, please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

"No, no, nothing, the food is delicious..." The short conversation revealed the fact that I don't often visit other people's homes. If Komachi was here, he would definitely be able to say ten times better than me. Compliments... Komachi, I need you!

After eating, the maid poured hot tea for us. I took the teacup and didn't drink it immediately, but waited for the boiling tea to cool down slowly.

"Is Mr. Hikiya not used to drinking green tea?" Yukinoshita's mother noticed my behavior.

"No, I..." I was about to answer, but Yukinoshita blurted out: "He has a cat's tongue."

"I can't be more clear about Yukino-chan than Qigu-kun~" Yang Nao kept poking Yukinoshita's cheek as if he had discovered something interesting.

"Sister, don't be like this..." Yukinoshita tilted her head to one side shyly.

"It's like this... I'm not used to eating too hot food... I'm blushing... It must be because this room is too hot? It must be like this!

"Mr. Hikigaya is here for the first time, Tsuzuki, please show Mr. Hikigaya a visit." Yukinoshita's mother suggested with a smile.

"Hmmm... that's really not a good way to say no...

"Xue Nai, come with me, I have something to tell you." Just as I was about to walk out of the room, I heard the words of Yukinoshita's mother, which was unquestionable and calm, just like her ten-year-old mother. As I have been used to for years, it is chilling like ice on a high mountain.

The real battle that Yukinoshita and I have to face thus kicked off.

Mr. Tsuzuki gave me a detailed introduction to the history of the Yukinoshita family while walking. It turned out that the Yukinoshita family was a prominent family since the Edo period. In other words, I rarely heard about her from Yukinoshita. Surprises are unavoidable when it comes to family matters.

After visiting the huge courtyard, I followed Mr. Tsuzuki into the inner room.

He stopped in his tracks, turned around and bowed to me: "Mr. Hikigu, Madam is waiting for you inside."

Is it finally here? I clenched my fists and tried my best to calm down. I remembered the countermeasures I had discussed with Yukinoshita last night, and slowly walked into the house.

"Mr. Hiki, as Yukino's mother, can I ask you a few questions?"

"...Okay, Auntie, please."

"Mr. Hikigaya, in what capacity did you come to our house today?"

It's an expected question, but what I didn't expect was that I asked this question so early. It seems that I don't even want to waste the time of greetings on me.

"Of course as Yukinoshita's boyfriend. Yukinoshita and I have been dating for three months. We formed a club called the Service Department because of Mr. Hiratsuka... "

Before I could finish my prepared remarks, Yukinoshita's mother interrupted me

"Then what does Mr. Hikigu think of Yukino?"

I paused, and continued to answer

"She is a perfect girl with excellent grades and a kind-hearted person. During her days in the Ministry of Service, she helped many people..."

Still before I finished speaking, she calmly asked the third question:

"What is the purpose of Mr. Hikigaya's visit to our house today?"

This is the most difficult question to ask, but it is also the core question. The answer and response to this question will directly determine the outcome of this farce.

Kneeling in front of my mother under the snow, I slowly leaned over, saluted her solemnly, and slowly said those words:

"As Yukinoshita's boyfriend... I hope my aunt can terminate the marriage meeting tomorrow."

There was an unbearable silence in the small tea room, made all the more uneasy by the sound of running water in the courtyard.

After a long time, Yukinoshita's mother let out a long sigh, which made people worry.

"Mr. Hikigaya..."

I looked up and met her gaze.

In that look, is it pity?Are you pitying my so-called "boyfriend" who is overwhelmed?Or mock?The mockery of me who can utter such words?

"You and Yukino are not suitable..."

As if on trial, she said so.

The upbringing of a famous family made her only use the three words "inappropriate" to persuade me even in the end.

Even at this time, you still have to take care of me... What a pity...

"I......"

He obviously prepared countless rebuttals, but he was defeated by this woman's eyes.

Apart from the prominent family background of Yukinoshita's family, just as a mother, that look in my eyes already made me crumble, and I couldn't say a word.

"It should be that someone who is good at standing in front of others is more suitable for Xue Nao. Both her father and I think so..."
