Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

As for why they took the manual with the map printed on it, it was naturally that the two of them were a little uncertain about the sense of direction.Yukinoshita Yukino is because she is a little road-crazy, and Hikigaya Hachiman is because of the side effects of actively reducing the activity of the arcane energy in her body.

"Let's go then?"

Hikigaya Hachiman asked, and seeing Yukinoshita Yukino nodded without any objection, he pulled her and set off together.

Yukinoshita Yukino seldom came to the shopping mall, so she was busy looking around when she was going to her destination. Judging from the happy smile on her face, at least she shouldn't feel bored.

However, although Yukinoshita Yukino seemed very interested in this kind of shopping, she didn't stop to study the products on display. The two of them walked around like watching flowers on horseback.

It's a bit unpredictable whether Yukinoshita Yukino is interested in shopping itself, or because he is interested in shopping with Hikigaya Hachiman arm in arm like a couple.

But Yukinoshita Yukino still stopped, looked at one direction with some concern, and gently fiddled with her hair with her hands while watching.

"Want to see it?"

Hikigaya Hachiman followed Yukinoshita Yukino's line of sight, and saw that it was a puppet shop. It seemed inaccurate to say that, because there seemed to be only one type of puppet for sale in that store.

A weird panda puppet with fierce eyes, sharp claws and glowing fangs—Johnny the Panda.

Although I don't know why it is called "Johnny Panda" even though it is a panda, but its popularity is unexpectedly high.

Yukinoshita Yukino was a little moved when he heard Hikigu Hachiman's words, but after struggling for a while, he chose to turn his head back and stop going to the specialty store.

"No, it's getting late, we'd better hurry up and pick out gifts for Yui."

Now that Yukinoshita Yukino said so herself, Hikigaya Hachiman continued to walk along Yukinoshita Yukino's hand as she wanted.

Hikigumao and Yukinoshita Yukino slept together on the same bed, so he roughly understood why Yukinoshita Yukino, who likes Johnny Panda, would now refuse the temptation of Johnny Panda Muppet.

It's simply because there are too many cat puppets in Yukinoshita Yukino's bedroom, and most of those puppets in the bedroom are all kinds of Johnny the Panda, and Yukinoshita Yukino is a cat puppets that she likes. The puppets are all kept in her own bedroom.If you buy it again, it will affect her personally.

However, judging from Yukinoshita Yukino's step-by-step movements, it seems that her determination to refuse the temptation to buy is not firm.

......

The atmosphere in the women's counter is noticeably different.

In the space intertwined with pastels and bright colors, there is the aroma of flowers and soap, and the girls' merchandise area is filled with the smell of handmade and industrial spices.

Clothes, accessories, socks, kitchen items, and of course, trendy lingerie.

This place is almost a restricted area for men, but because Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino are holding hands, the two who were identified as lovers did not receive any unusual scrutiny.

"So, what are we going to buy?"

"Huh? Hmm... something that is highly practical and durable for long-term use."

Attention was drawn back from the accessories area by Hikigaya Hachiman's question, and Yukinoshita Yukino replied after thinking about it.

Then she and Hikigaya Hachiman went to the clothing area, and picked up the T-shirt that was stacked there. Instead of leaning on herself and looking in the mirror to see if it fits like ordinary people, she pulled it hard.

"Although the quality of the clothes is not very high, the sewing technique is pretty good."

Of course, because sewing is done on an assembly line of industrial machines, if the sewing skills are not good, then the program engineer will be out of luck.

But Hikigu Hachiman naturally wouldn't say such unsightly words.

"Then let's go shopping as you go. Let's talk when you see something suitable, and I don't think Yui needs clothes."

Although Yuigahama Yui is dressed in school uniforms in most cases, even so, it can be seen from the elaborate small decorations outside of her school uniform that she is not a person who does not know how to dress up.

That is to say, Yubihama Yui has a lot of clothes that suit her at home. Even if she doesn't choose the right clothes, her mother will help her.

When Hikigu Hachiman asked Yuihama Yui how she changed her makeup style so quickly, Yuihama Yui told him truthfully that it was the result of her consultation with her mother.

"Then Hikigu-kun, what are you going to give Yui?"

Although Yukinoshita Yukino asked Hikigaya Hachiman what he would choose for Yuigahama Yui, but from her swaying appearance, Hikigaya Hachiman still read her true thoughts in her heart.

Yukinoshita Yukino actually wanted to ask what he was going to give her.

Hikigu Hachiman raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the jewelry counter.

And the first row of counters are all kinds of rings.

"Hikigaya-kun, you are going to choose a ring for my good friend as a birthday present in front of me. Even I am shocked, huh?"

The address was also changed from the first name to the last name. Although it was a questioning tone, it can be seen from Yukinoshita Yukino's rosy cheeks and the tighter movement that she is in a good mood now.

Yukinoshita Yukino was very satisfied with his answer.

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

"This way, Hachiman."

Yukinoshita Yukino was wearing an apron, and while calling Hikigu Hachiman, she turned around and showed it to him.

The design of the apron is very ingenious. The black material is not bulky but gives people a light feeling. It even exudes a cool breath when worn on Yukinoshita Yukino, and the cat's footprints printed on the chest of the apron add to the lightness of the apron. A little cute.

Yukinoshita Yukino tied the rope into a big bow, highlighting her tight willow waist.

She spun around like a waltz, checking her head and wrists for ease of movement.The bow, which was not tied very tightly, rose with her movements, making Hikigaya Hachiman feel like a kimono, and the apron could be taken off her body with a light pull.

"How is it? Does it look good, Hachiman?"

"It's very suitable, but isn't it suitable for her to wear Yui? Yui doesn't seem to like this simple design style. If it is her, a more fancy apron may be more popular with her."

Yukinoshita Yukino matches this simple but not simple style of clothing very well. Looking at her who is checking her shoulders, bowknot and skirt in the full-length mirror, Hikigu Hachiman expresses her doubts after expressing her compliments.

"...It's not for Yui. I've already chosen the apron for Yui, so I put it next to you."

Looking at the full-length mirror, after repeatedly confirming that she was fine, Yukinoshita Yukino turned around and made a V sign.

"How about I buy this apron? Would you like it?"

"Of course I like it. It would be even better if I wore an apron naked."

Yukinoshita Yukino was a little dazed when he heard Hikigu Hachiman's violent remarks, but he quickly reacted and helped his forehead helplessly.

"...It really seems like something you can say. After all, it is the protagonist of a light novel."

"You taught Komachi badly, right? No wonder why she took the protagonist of the light novel as a curse."

"Who told Hachiman that you are always out of tune? When the Ministry of Service was active, you even said seriously that it was your harem. The tone was so serious, I thought you really thought so."

While complaining, Yukinoshita Yukino took off her apron and folded it carefully.

"I'll show you the clothes next time you come to my house."

"Didn't you already show it to me? The apron looks great on you."

Hikigaya Hachiman was looking at the apron that Yukinoshita Yukino had chosen for Yui Hihama Yui. It was light pink, without too many decorations, with many pockets, and the material was the one with a good fire-blocking effect.

I didn’t expect Yukinoshita Yukino to have such a deep understanding of Yuigahama Yui. She loves to put snacks in her pockets, so she chose this kind of apron with a small pocket on each side and a big pocket in the middle. When using fire, it may It will be baked by fire, so choose materials with good fire resistance properties.

"It's the kind of dress you expect."

Hikigaya Hachiman raised his head, looking surprised at Yukinoshita Yukino who was snickering.

Did he lead Yukinoshita Yukino to ruin her, or did he awaken her little devil nature?

In short, although it was a birthday gift selected by Yui Hihama Yui, when she actually checked out at the counter, Yukinoshita Yukino was holding two aprons in total.

After paying, the two walked out of the kitchen supply store arm in arm.

"Want to see it?"

Sensing that Yukinoshita Yukino was always looking towards the jewelry store, Hikigaya Hachiman asked.

Yukinoshita Yukino was a little moved after hearing Hikigaya Hachiman's inquiry, but quickly dismissed the idea.

"Are you stupid? You and I are just students, there is no need to spend money on that kind of place."

"That's what I said, but it's okay to go and have a look, right?"

"...I really can't do anything about you. Since you want to see it so much, it's not that I can't go with you."

......

Rings are divided into ordinary decorative rings, couple rings for couples showing mutual love, engagement rings, rings for married couples and so on.

"I didn't expect that there are so many types of rings. Although I learned about the classification of rings from books, I didn't expect that there are so many subcategories of different styles under each category."

"After all, it is a trap set by consumerism. There are so many different styles in order to induce people to buy."

"Although what you said is reasonable, it can't be fully applied here, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino held Hikigu Hachiman's hand and pinched him slightly, expressing her dissatisfaction with his intentional destruction of the date atmosphere.

"If theory could perfectly guide reality, the world wouldn't be as complicated as it is now." Hikigu Hachiman skipped this topic with a random reason.

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

The waiter of the specialty store leaned over and asked the two people in front of the counter.

"Ah, nothing..."

Yukinoshita Yukino replied a little indifferently, exuding the breath of "don't come and talk to me".This is very similar to Hikigaya Hachiman, because that's what he did when he didn't want the clerk to talk to him when he was picking something.

However, a set of theories cannot be applied to all occasions. In this situation where it is obvious that the recommendation of the shop assistant is more important, we cannot use that method to dissuade people who want to help.

Yukinoshita Yukino has no experience in buying rings, and although he has received many different kinds of expensive rings, he has no experience in buying them himself.

Although the two of them are just going to take a look and not buy it.

"We're going to take a look first, so we don't need help for now, sorry."

"That's it, then please choose slowly."

After all, he is a waiter at a luxury counter. Since the customers have said so, there is nothing else that needs to be done.

But it seems that they are a couple on a date together. Although the woman is beautiful, she doesn't seem to have a friendly personality. Although the man has slightly flawed eyes, he can be regarded as excellent overall.

The clerk silently looked at the two people who were choosing in front of the ring cabinet, and mentally analyzed the types of rings that they might be suitable for.

"Don't want to ask me why I suddenly became interested in rings?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked Hikigu Hachiman next to her while checking if there was a ring matching her eyes according to her favorite style.

"If couples are thinking about the future, is it strange to want a pair of rings that look pleasing to the eye?"

"That's what I said." Yukinoshita Yukino sighed.

The person I like has this kind of virtue, he knows everything clearly, but he just likes to act like he doesn't know.He never loses the initiative, and always looks confident that everything is under control.

So Yukinoshita Yukino took the initiative to tell the reason.

"Did you see that day too? The ring on my sister's left hand."

Of course Hikigu Hachiman saw it, and he also knew that the ring that Yukinoshita Yono was wearing was given by him.

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

"Sister, she is engaged."

Wearing a ring is a very eloquent thing.

According to the traditional saying, rings are generally worn on the left hand. There are different opinions on why they are worn on the left hand, but if it is related to love, the ring is worn on the left hand.

And wearing different fingers on the left hand is also learned.

Wearing it on the thumb symbolizes self-confidence and authority, wearing it on the index finger means being single, wearing it on the middle finger means being engaged, wearing it on the ring finger means signing a marriage, and wearing it on the little finger means not married.

Of course, it does not rule out the situation that people don't care about these just conventional rules, and choose the position to wear at will.

As for her sister, at that time, the ring she wore on her hand was on her ring finger. It is impossible for her sister to not know the meaning of wearing a ring on her left ring finger.

My sister is married.

This is impossible, because it is impossible for her, as her sister, to be ignorant of such a big matter.

Excluding this point, the fact should be that her sister is engaged, and the progress is so fast that it cannot be refuted. She directly bypassed the engagement and forcibly declared her sister's ownership to death.

"Not necessarily, your sister wears a ring on her left ring finger, and there is no news about the marriage of the eldest lady of the Yukinoshita family, right? Maybe it's just your sister who thinks wearing a ring like this looks good."

"You don't understand, Hachiman." Yukinoshita Yukino's tone was a bit lonely, "Sister, she doesn't do meaningless things. In other words, it's time for my sister to decide on her marriage."

"Is it that serious?"

"No, it can even be said to be more serious than this, because this is very likely to be arranged by the mother. I heard that the mother will arrange a marriage suitable for her at the right time, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon. "

Yukinoshita Yukino trembled a little, and her fear was completely transmitted to him from the right hand that was holding Hikigaya Hachiman tightly.

"You seem to be very afraid of your mother."
