Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

Is the real answer the same as the answer I expected?

For this reason, Hikigaya Hachiman was able to withdraw and leave gracefully, but Ichinose Chizuru was caught in a tangle.

If you just let him go like this, then you don't know when the two will meet again.

According to his current attitude...maybe he won't come to the bar to find himself again...

And after today, I'm afraid I don't have much time to come to the hospital again.

When the time comes again, what if he has already been discharged from the hospital?

She actually doesn't like to take the initiative.

Whether it is interpersonal or emotional, the one who takes the initiative is often the passive one.

If you don't want to take the initiative, then you have to show enough charm to attract the other party.

At least there is a certain point that draws out the other party's curiosity and expectations, so that the other party can't treat himself as an ordinary person like air.

Then we must maintain appropriate patience and slowly wait for the other party to take the initiative.

Just like fishing, as long as you put the bait in place and flick the fishing rod, you don't have to do anything, just wait slowly.

Whether you can catch fish depends on whether the bait is attractive enough and whether you have enough patience.

At this moment, Chizuru Ichinose, the mermaid, was hooked to death by the bait thrown by Hachiman Hikigaya.

She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "Well, wait a minute."

Hikigu Hachiman was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and said, "Huh? Is there anything else?"

Chizuru Ichinose lowered her head, and quietly clenched her small hand holding the strap of the satchel, tension permeated her heart, besides, there was an indescribable shyness.

She thought of a way.

A way to get closer to him and explore the answers you want more.

But this way, it's kind of...

Inexplicable.

Looking at the hesitation on her cheek, Hikigu Hachiman secretly smiled: "Huh?"

"That... you... do you have other things to do now?"

Ichinose Chizuru avoided his gaze, looked at the white wall beside her, deliberately created a look of absent-mindedness, and asked casually.

"No, I just want to go for a walk."

Hikigaya Hachiman complained naturally:

"Staying in the ward all the time, I feel that I am almost depressed."

"Then...do you have something to do later?"

Chizuru Ichinose whispered.

The corners of Hikigu Hachiman's mouth turned up slightly, he walked up to her lightly, and said softly: "Your tone seems to want to ask me to do something."

"No......"

Ichinose Chizuru immediately denied it, and explained cautiously: "I...I just have a request."

"Oh? You might as well say it."

"Well, this request may be a bit embarrassing."

"If I can help, I will do my best."

"Then I said...because..."

Ichinose Chizuru looked at his gentle expression, felt relieved, and said softly: "My grandma has always had a wish."

"She... wants me to find... find..."

With the last few words, she hastily lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito, "Boyfriend."

She didn't even know how she said it. After saying those three words, there was only a blank in her mind, and she felt her heart was on fire, and the hot sunset glow rose on her face.

Chapter 9 Perhaps the world should see this cuteness

Ichinose Chizuru wanted to keep Hikigaya Hachiman, at least want to get along with him for a while longer.

This unreasonable sense of nostalgia comes from many, many complex emotions.

But no matter what, Hikigu Hachiman left her with one mystery after another, which has fully mobilized her curiosity and enthusiasm.

She has been sought after since she was a child, but she has always been the only one who has dismissed invitations from others, and rarely meets a boy who treats her lightly like Hikigu Hachiman.

At least in the stage of being a student, Ichinose Chizuru has always been positioned as a popular "campus goddess".

Even as a waiter at the front desk of a bar, the number of men who strike up a conversation with her far exceeds that of other girl staff in the store.

Regardless of whether these staff are serving as wine companions or purely serving as waiters, they are all far inferior to Chizuru Ichinose in terms of charm.

This may not be something to show off or be proud of.

For Ichinose Chizuru, the overly dazzling charm has indeed brought her a lot of troubles.

But what can't be changed is that in this long-term sought-after atmosphere, her inner self-esteem is much better than that of ordinary girls.

She is a girl who looks gentle and delicate, but actually has a good face and high self-esteem.

Even a girl like Ichinose Chizuru can't help but fall into the inferiority of human beings.

What is not available seems to be in constant commotion.

What is available at your fingertips is often dismissed.

It's just that Chizuru Ichinose, who is now accustomed to getting it at his fingertips, has become dismissive in front of Hikigaya Hachiman.

There are not only the strength and dissatisfaction brought about by the contrast, but also the curiosity towards him, and the kindness towards him, plus the days when I spent time with him in my memory, all kinds of factors are intertwined.

This boy who is like the wind and like a dream, she doesn't want to fall into the long wait of not knowing when the next meeting will be.

She must visit her relatives in the hospital, not to mention her grandma is lying on the hospital bed not knowing what the future holds.

And she doesn't have enough time, and she can't circle around Hiki Valley Hachiman all day.

So she had to find a way to prolong her time with him in her free time as soon as possible.

She said that her grandma had a wish, but she wasn't lying.

Every time she went to see her grandma, her grandma would nudge her repeatedly, hoping that Chizuru Ichinose would bring her boyfriend to visit next time.

This is the expectation of the elders for the younger generation, and it is also the hope of a grandma for her granddaughter.

It was only when she told Hikigu Hachiman that she knew her intentions were fully exposed.

But she can't think of a better way for the time being. You can't say that since you are bored and have nothing to do now, why don't you come with me to visit my grandma?

If she was a heartless, natural, innocent girl, then maybe there was nothing wrong with doing this, but she wasn't.

So in what name did she invite him?

In what name would he, who was invited by him, appear in front of his grandma?

Letting him pretend to be a boyfriend is a helpless move, but it is also the best and most effective way at the moment.

The only trouble is:

As soon as this remark came out, it also announced that Ichinose Chizuru's passive level had gone further, and she had dug a deep pit for herself that she could not turn back.

Hikigu Hachiman's eyes narrowed slightly, there was no special change on his face, but he was quite happy in his heart.

The progress of perfectly winning Chizuru Ichinose has taken another big step forward.

He pretended not to understand her hint with great interest, and said in an understanding tone: "The old man always hopes that the younger generation can get married and start a business as soon as possible. This is a very simple wish."

"My family always hoped that I would find a girlfriend sooner."

He also hinted a little bit about himself, but it was very vague.

Ichinose Chizuru immediately grasped the point: he doesn't have a girlfriend yet.

For some reason, Ichinose Chizuru was a little bit pleased when she heard the news, and the eyebrows that were slightly frowned because of thinking about the countermeasures were also relaxed.

It's just that the unauthorized joy made her not aware of the loopholes in Hikigu Hachiman's words:

I hope he found a girlfriend earlier, or is it now?

It's not at all certain that he doesn't have a girlfriend.

Although in fact he not only has many undisclosed girlfriends, but also has a fiancee Yukinoshita Yukino.

Hikigaya Hachiman chuckled, Ichinose Chizuru didn't realize his intention at the moment, just thought that this incomprehensible man was going to tease her with her reaction again.

"But Chizuru, you don't have a boyfriend yet, do you?"

"of course not."

Ichinose Chizuru put her little hands behind her back and said in a low voice, a little at a loss: "I don't have any time to find something like a boyfriend."

She has been a rental girlfriend for a while, but she has never been in close contact with a customer, she has never even shake hands, and she has never had a boyfriend-girlfriend communication in language... It is a rental girlfriend, In fact, Chizuru Ichinose was more like a psychological counselor with a high fee at the time.

But she is really flustered now, because renting a girlfriend is not a job with a good reputation, even if she Ichinose Chizuru has never had any physical contact, it is a fact that she has done a renting girlfriend.

With his ability, he couldn't hide what he had done before.

If the person in front of me cares...it would be reasonable to cut the seat with me immediately...

After all, I was unfaithful first... The ultimate person who caused all this is myself...

Ichinose Chizuru's expression didn't fluctuate much, but the hands behind her back had clenched into fists and turned pale.

She also didn't realize why she cared so much about Hikigu Hachiman's opinion of her...

"As you know, I carry a lot of things on my shoulders."

She blinked, her voice tired and playful.

"so--"

Hikigaya Hachiman deliberately paused, holding Ichinose Chizuru's appetite: "Do you want me to pretend to be your boyfriend now, and then accompany you to meet your grandma?"

Ichinose Chizuru, who thought he was going to say what he had done before, was relieved when he heard the whole sentence. It seems that he chose not to mention it... In the bottom of his heart, Ichinose Chizuru I am very grateful, and incidentally made my already humble position even more humble.

So Ichinose Chizuru nodded awkwardly.

"Well, well~ It seems that this request is quite embarrassing."

"I...I just want to make my grandma happy, I don't want her to always miss me."

"She has spent too much time worrying about me, now..."

Ichinose Chizuru said a little sentimentally, "I want to make her happy."

"If you find it difficult, just think I'm talking nonsense!"

Chizuru Ichinose subdued her sentimentality and showed a delicate smile again.

"It's really a bit difficult."

Facing Ichinose Chizuru's expectant gaze, Hikigaya Hachiman gave an answer she didn't want to hear.

The anticipation in her eyes disappeared instantly and became dim.

In order to cover up her embarrassment, she quickly laughed dryly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I was also a little impulsive at the moment, just pretend you didn't hear it."

"Go and do your work, I'm going to visit my grandma."

She speaks very fast, fully revealing her panic and loss.

There was a rich blush on her cheeks, which was the kind of shame and embarrassment that she wanted to find a place to bury herself.

got rejected......

Rejected simply and neatly...

Ahhh, what am I thinking, what am I looking forward to!

She just wanted to turn around and leave quickly, out of his sight, as far away as possible.

And when she turned to say goodbye, Hikigu Hachiman's big hand was quietly pressing on her shoulder.

"Don't be so impatient, it's indeed a bit embarrassing, but it's not impossible."
