Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

Because they don't need to participate in the competition, they just need to go directly to the finish line.From time to time on the road, I saw children looking for billboards, or gathering together to think about puzzles on paper.

Is it because the eyes of some elementary school students are too rude?Are my eyes really that scary?

But seeing that they were having a good time, and there were always people watching, Hikigu Hachiman thought about it and withdrew his plan to cause a landslide.

"come on!"

"Big sister is waiting for you at the finish line?"

Ebina Himina and Miura Yuiko will cheer up children who are looking for their way when they meet them, and play the role of big sister earnestly.Miura Yuko herself is a passionate person, and she is always approachable when she is not wearing the queen mask.

However, when Ebina Hime was dissatisfied with running the train and being a good girl, she didn't expect that she would look like this pure and innocent girl.

"Yui! Yui——unexpectedly, I actually like children a lot, don't you think they are super cute?"

"Yumiko is cute too."

Yuigahama Yui, who is extremely good at observing words and expressions, naturally understands the meaning of Yumi Miura's words. After all, his friends are like this, and they like to say some nice words to highlight how cute they are.

Then Yuihihama Yui saw Hikigaya Hachiman tilting his head and sticking out his tongue, trying to imitate Yumiko Miura's movements.

He decisively turned his head and chose to ignore it, and talked to Miura Yumiko who was in high spirits again.

"To be disgusted by Yui, you are indeed Hikigu-kun. And you are not suitable for pretending to be cute."

Yukinoshita Yukino naturally noticed Yuigahama Yui's actions, and when she complained about Hikigu Hachiman, she also belittled Namiura Yumiko.

It seems that Yukino and Yumiko are really at odds.

Is the reason for attribute overlap?

"Is that so?"

Hikigu Hachiman thought for a while, then cleared his throat.

"I like elementary school students."

"If you don't want to be caught and sent to prison, please don't continue your declaration of child control."

Seeing Yumiko Miura and Himina Ebina cheering on the children, Tobe, Yuihama Yui and Komachi also joined the ranks, and gradually became warm with everyone.

Then Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino were left at the end, and no children approached them to initiate a conversation, although they did not intend to initiate a conversation.

"It feels a little weird. What's the matter with the déjà vu of empty-nesters who stay behind at home?"

"Wife?"

"It's very rude, old man."

"It's a pity that my daughter can't go home this year because of work."

"......you win."

Yukinoshita Yukino chose not to resist Hikigu Hachiman who was still in the state.

Then the group met a team of five girls on a detour.

They are also lively and energetic, and have begun to know how to dress up, and their voices will make Hikigu Hachiman feel a little harsh when chatting.After thinking about it carefully, it may be that they may become the central figures of the grade if they enter junior high school, and they are now serving as the reserve team.

Now they were a little panicked, startled by the jumping snake.

Hayama Hayato ran over and helped catch the snake and threw it back into the grass.

"It's all right? It's just a golden snake. All golden snakes are non-venomous and won't bite people." Hayama Hayato comforted the frightened elementary school students while teaching them about snakes.

"Eh—but even if it doesn't bite, I don't want to touch it at all. Just looking at it makes me sick, doesn't it?"

After one elementary school student mentioned it, the next elementary school students followed suit.

Hayama Hayato was chatting with them while smiling, and it seemed that he had become one with them.

They are really cheerful and lively children, but there is one person who makes him care a little bit.

In the team of five, one person was two steps behind everyone.

His limbs are healthy and slender, and his straight black hair is slightly purple. Compared with other children, he looks more like an adult.The clothes on her body are also very feminine, and she looks particularly elegant among the crowd.His skin is very fair, and he has a digital camera hanging around his neck. He fiddles with it occasionally with his idle little hands, but he has no intention of picking up the camera to take pictures.It seems that she wants to escape the fact that she is alone in the crowd through such actions.

Although she is a very cute and very attractive girl, she doesn't blend into the group.

A lonely and abandoned man.

"..." Yukinoshita Yukino witnessed all this and did not speak.

After a long time, he sighed lightly.

Just as people who have had the same experience are attracted to each other, lonely people are most likely to spot lonely people.

This outstanding-looking, young and lonely little girl.

Yukinoshita Yukino saw his shadow in her, right?

Yukinoshita Yukino is lonely, and Hikigu Hachiman is also lonely. People with the same attributes will always find people with the same attributes quickly.

Find the same kind, and then communicate or confront.

This is probably the reason for the friction when meeting Yumiko Miura.

Hikigaya Hachiman thought to himself, but to be honest, he didn't empathize like Yukinoshita Yukino.

Although they are all lonely people, the purity of loneliness varies from person to person.No matter how close people are, there will be some gaps when they don't have mind reading skills.

Just like the current Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui, although they each consider each other to be close friends, they don't know that the rings on the necklaces worn by both of them as pendants were given by the same person.

"That's not okay."

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Hayama Hayato with a smile on his face and brought the little girl who was alone back into the group of elementary school students, denying his behavior expressionlessly.

Because the little girl who was forcibly dragged back into the group still looked like she was being rejected, no one talked to her, and no one paid attention to her. She was obviously in one group but seemed to be in another circle.

Separated by an invisible membrane, forming an invisible high wall.

Still alone.

"Even elementary school students have this kind of thing, and it's no different from high school students. It's clear that the other party is not wrong, but they think it's right to pull up the line of defense to prevent others from blending in."

"It's all the same, after all, they are all human beings."

"Are we counted? Me, and Yui."

Hikigu Hachiman did not object to Yukinoshita Yukino's words, nor did he support them.

"Eh?"

"The so-called loneliness is not absolute, is it? Before meeting real friends, loneliness is a high-quality choice for friends rather than lack."

He is not a person who will watch a girl go silent and alone.In other words, instead of letting the girl you like go through all this, it's better to do it yourself.

"Are you really lonely now?"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Yukinoshita Yukino's face, and looked directly at her too clear ice blue eyes.His face is no longer the expressionless and negative world-weary look, but dazzling sincerity.

Just like the scene in the ring shop, when I put on the ring for myself.

"I...I don't know."

She wanted to respond immediately, to express her desire loudly to the person in front of her.

But the ring lying on her chest reminded her at this moment.

The person in front of him still doesn't know that he is the culprit who caused his loneliness in high school until now.

The question that has been hidden in my heart and wants to pretend that it doesn't exist comes to my mind again.

Can I really accept his love?It is obvious that I am sorry for him, so do I still have the right to ask him for it?

Will he accept himself after learning the truth?

"So loneliness is only relative. Yukino, I don't agree with your words about extending the exclusionary behavior among elementary school students to all human beings?"

"This, this is..."

Hikigu Hachiman turned around and ignored the relieved Yukinoshita Yukino, and walked towards the large army.

Still need to make persistent efforts, I want Yukinoshita Yukino to accept being with Yuigahama Yui.

Well, anyway, the seeds planted have already bloomed, so I just need to water more slowly in the future.

Yes, Hikigaya Hachiman's previous words were intended to stimulate Yukinoshita Yukino, using her guilt over the car accident to pave the way for the two to discover the existence of the rings on each other's chests.

Chapter 110 The difference between the ring and the ring

After leaving the woods, there is an open place, and this halfway up the mountain is the end point of field orientation.

They will greet the students who arrive at the finish line in this square.

"Ah, you are so slow. Hurry up and unload these things and help prepare lunch."

Hiratsuka-sensei got out of the van.It seems that there is another car road that can lead to here besides the orienteering route.

When I opened the trunk, I saw a mountain of plastic baskets filled with lunch boxes and drinks.The cool air from inside the car touched the slightly sweaty body, and it felt very comfortable.

Hiratsuka-sensei pointed backward with his thumb, which is a place for a picnic and a meal.

Primary school students have to have dinner together after climbing the mountain, but they are asked to cook it by themselves.

But even though it is for them to be self-reliant, it is really difficult for elementary school students to cook, so they still need free labor volunteers to guide them.

Elementary school students also have teachers, so other teachers are in charge of the other two classes, and Hikigu Hachiman and the others are in charge of the class where the isolated little girl is.

The first thing is to let the children know how to make a fire. Mr. Hiratsuka demonstrated once with the fire pile used by the teacher.

"I'll demonstrate it to you first."

Immediately after Hiratsuka-sensei finished speaking, he stacked the charcoal, and placed the accelerant and crumpled newspaper underneath.After the accelerant is ignited, the newspaper burns immediately.

Hikigu Hachiman thought that the teacher would have to use a fan to spread the flames onto the charcoal, but that was too troublesome, so she directly poured salad oil on it.

The flames rose immediately.

The elementary school students at the scene broke out into a commotion, whether it was cheering or screaming.

No matter what Shizuka Hiratsuka will think in the future, at least Hikigaya Hachiman has already made a judgment for her in his heart.

From now on, Shizuka Hiratsuka will never be allowed to enter the kitchen to cook.The danger level was raised to the same level as that of Yuigahama Yui.

"It feels like the teacher is very skilled."

Although Hayama Hayato was also a little shocked, he still affirmed her rapid fire-making speed.

"Heh, when I was in college, I often went out to barbecue with people from the club. Every time I was busy lighting the fire, those couples would be next to me... Tsk, my mood got worse again."

The teacher recalls bad memories and stays away from the fire.If she hadn't done this, Hikigu Hachiman would have decided to step forward and pull her away regardless of the difference between teachers and students, lest she raise a torch and do something dangerous.

"The boys go to prepare the fire, and the girls go to get the ingredients."

The teacher took the girls away while talking.She now divides boys and girls into two sides, and it seems that the memories of the past have really affected her a lot.

Resentment is about to overflow into substance.

"Then let's start preparing."

Hayama and Tobe put on work gloves and started stacking charcoal, while Hikigaya Hachiman helped prepare the accelerants and newspapers.

The preparatory work went quite smoothly, and all that remained was the mechanical labor of taking pictures of the wind with a fan.

Hikigaya Hachiman put on work gloves, picked up a fan and kept blowing the wind, like grilling eels.

"It feels hot."

Hayama Hayato said this to Bikigu Hachiman with concern, but Hikigu Hachiman heard that what he wanted to say was not this, and the relationship between the two was not good enough to care for each other.

"Ah."

But since his words are not malicious, Hikigu Hachiman will not give him a good look.Wei Wei nodded to agree with his statement.

Even if you are on a plateau, it is the hottest time in summer after all.If you fan the wind next to the fire, no matter how fit you are, your sweat will stop like a waterfall.

Although Hikigu Hachiman didn't feel this way, he even thought about reaching into the fire to see if he could quench the living sharp knife.

"I'll get you some drinks for everyone."

Hubu found that the current atmosphere was a bit awkward, as if the two of them wanted to discuss some important matters and chose to find a reason to leave.

Perhaps Tobe is indeed a good person like Hayama Hayato said, but it is impossible for him to have a good face towards Tobe if he keeps calling the wrong Hikigu Hachiman's name.

So, Hikigaya Hachiman and Hayama were left at the scene.
