Komachi, wearing a junior high school uniform, came from a distance, waving to him with a happy smile.

"Komachi? What are you doing here?"

"Dashi asked Komachi to come here to discuss things."

Komachi said and pointed at the junior high school boy Kawasaki Daishi next to her. At the same time, she also noticed the two special beautiful girls sitting next to Hikigaya.

"Hey, hello, I'm Hikigaya Komachi. Thank you for taking care of my brother."

Seeing Komachi's appearance, Yukinoshita and Yuigahama immediately nodded in return.

"First, first time we meet, I am Aqi's classmate, Yuigahama Yui."

"This is our first meeting, please... Huh? Huh?"

Komachi stopped and studied Yuigahama's face carefully.

Yuigahama broke into cold sweat and looked away.

After the self-introduction, the voice of the on-site client Daishi Kawasaki finally sounded: "I am Daishi Kawasaki, and my sister is Saki Kawasaki. Recently she has started to behave badly, or should I say she has become a bad girl?"

"Is that Saki Kawasaki in our class?" Yuigahama reacted immediately, "What should I say, Kawasaki-san? It feels a bit scary. Should I say she is a too-girl..."

"Aren't you friends?"

"Although we have spoken before, we don't seem to be friends... Hey, don't ask girls this kind of question, it's difficult to answer." Yuigahama was a bit evasive. It seems that girls are divided into various small groups and factions, and there is quite a lot of inside information. "However, I haven't seen Kawasaki-san being particularly close to anyone. She always seems to be sitting in her seat looking out the window in a daze."

"indeed."

Hearing Yuigahama's words, Hikigaya finally recalled Kawasaki's appearance in the classroom.

"When did your sister start to change?" Yukinoshita asked proactively.

"My sister worked very hard when she was in junior high school, so she was able to enter Sobu High School. She was also very good to me at the time and often cooked for me. Until recently..."

"So it became like this after being in the same class with Hikigaya-san?"

"Hey, why are you talking like it's me? Am I some kind of germ?"

"I didn't say that. It's because your delusion of being victimized is too serious, Hikigaya."

"You obviously said that, I heard the word "germ" clearly!"

"I just accidentally bit my tongue."

Hikigaya and Yukinoshita's exchange of words made others smile awkwardly.

"But you said your sister came home very late. How late was it?"

"She often doesn't come back until after five o'clock in the morning."

"Then it won't be dawn at all..."

There are only two hours left to sleep. Is this a superman who doesn’t need to sleep?

"Your sister came home early in the morning. Didn't your parents say anything?"

"Both my parents are working, and there are younger siblings at home, so they don't care much about her. Even if they meet occasionally, they will only quarrel. If I say anything to my sister, she always stubbornly says no. It’s none of my business…”

After Kawasaki Taishi finished speaking, he drooped his shoulders dejectedly, not knowing what to do at all.

"Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite..."

Yukinoshita's face had an unprecedented gloominess, and he looked like he was about to cry. That look was even worse than his ambition.

Only Hikigaya noticed this scene.

"In short, the matter has been clarified. To put it simply, we hope that we can solve the problem of Kawasaki Saki and let her return to normal, right?"

"Thank you, thank you! I'm very sorry to trouble you all!"

Yukinoshita nodded and made the decision to resolve this commission.

Hikigaya obviously couldn't sway the other person's thoughts, so he could only sigh and accept it all.

……

That night, Hikigaya came to a place called Royal Okura Hotel.

The service department spent a day and finally found out that Kawasaki Saki worked here.

The luxury of the hotel is beyond imagination. Even the faint lights that illuminate the building have a sense of luxury. This is obviously not a place where a high school student should come.

According to the mobile phone email sent by Yuigahama, the meeting place is in the lobby in front of the elevator.

"Long, long wait..."

When they arrived at the location, Hikigaya was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth because Yuigahama and Yukinoshita in front of him were both dressed very gorgeously, like nobles attending a banquet.

"You are this?"

"Aqi, why didn't you dress up?"

Yubihama complained.

"Well, this is quite normal for someone like him." Yukinoshita spoke with a venomous tongue as always.

"I probably know what I am like in your heart."

Hikigu sighed.

A few people then entered the elevator and arrived at the top floor of the hotel. What appeared in front of them was an entire area of ​​dimly lit bars. The lights in the bar were soft, as low-key as candlelight.

"Hey... this is not a joke..."

Yuigahama's expression suddenly became very panicked.

As a commoner, she instinctively felt very uncomfortable when she came to a place like this.

For this reason, she instinctively looked towards Hikigaya, hoping to find a sense of security in the latter, who was also a member of the civilian class.

It's a pity that Hikigaya was more calm than she imagined. The reason is very simple. He has even been to places like Seireiden that are beyond imagination. Now even if Hikigaya goes directly to the Presidential Palace of the United States, he will not be afraid at all. .

Therefore, under the leadership of Yukinoshita, a frequent visitor to the upper class, and Hikigaya, an outsider with no awe, Yuigahama had to follow their footsteps and walk inward.

And soon, they discovered their target tonight, Saki Kawasaki, who was wearing a waiter's outfit and behaved elegantly.

"Finally found you, Kawasaki Saki-kun."

Yukinoshita took the initiative to step forward and speak.

"Under the snow..."

"Good night."

The moment he saw Yukinoshita, Kawasaki's hostility was clearly revealed. When the two of them met their eyes, it seemed as if they could see sparks bursting out.

Kawasaki also quickly noticed Yuigahama and Hikigaya next to Yukinoshita, and quickly recognized these two classmates.

"Have you been discovered?" Kawasaki sighed, no longer hiding, "What are you doing here? You can't be dating that kind of person."

"How is that possible? If you're talking about this thing next to me, even if you're joking, it's too out of character."

"Um...just bicker if you quarrel, don't let it affect me, okay?"

What the hell are you calling me!

In order to change the subject, Hikigaya immediately spoke: "Kawasaki, I heard that you have been coming home late recently. Is it because of this part-time job? Your brother is very worried."

"Oh, you came all the way here just to tell me this? It's really hard. But do you think I will just listen to a stranger's teachings and then stop doing it?"

Regarding Kawasaki's cold attitude, Yukinoshita said silently: "It's ten forty now... If you are Cinderella, there is still an hour left, but unfortunately your magic has been lifted long ago."

"After dispelling the magic, isn't it a happy ending?"

"Are you sure, Miss Mermaid Princess? I think what awaits you ahead is an unhappy ending."

They went back and forth without allowing anyone else to interrupt.

"Ah, Ah Qi, what are they talking about?"

"According to the Labor Standards Act, those who are underage are not allowed to work after ten o'clock in the evening. Kawasaki is still working at this time, which means that she has cast a magic spell to lie about her age, but this magic was broken by Yukinoshita."

"Is that so..."

Yuigahama showed such emotion.

"Are you still not going to resign?"

"Well, I have no such plan. Even if I are fired here, I can just find another job somewhere else."

Kawasaki said calmly while wiping the wine bottle with a cloth.

"Then, um... Kawasaki-san, why do you want to work here? Well, um... Actually, I will work part-time when I have no money, but I won't lie about my age and work until so late..." Yuigahama Speak carefully.

"Nothing...I just need money."

Kawasaki said what is natural, of course people need money to live.

Hikigaya quickly realized the answer and said:

"So that's the case, I probably understand."

"What can a guy like you know?"

Kawasaki threw the cloth that had been used to clean the wine bottle on the table, as if he was sincerely dissatisfied at being treated as the same person by someone like Hikigaya.

When Hikigaya saw this, he didn't feel angry at all. Instead, he felt an urgent need to be understood and recognized from the other person's appearance.

Kawasaki said that no one can understand him, which shows that he is sighing and frustrated that no one understands him.

In fact, she really hopes that someone can understand, right?

"Please stop in moderation..."

Faced with Kawasaki's attitude, Yukinoshita's cold voice sounded.

Kawasaki spoke without any awe: "Yukishita, right? I heard that your father is a member of the county assembly. You have neither food nor clothing to worry about. How can you understand my situation..."

"Snapped!"

The moment the words fell, Yukinoshita instinctively knocked over the cup in front of her.

She bit her lip tightly and stared at the table.

Seeing this scene, Hikigaya felt a little nervous inexplicably, or it could be said that it was a kind of confusion after the mask was broken and the unacceptable truth was exposed.

"Wait a minute! What we are talking about now has nothing to do with Yukino's family!" Yuigahama glared at Kawasaki, with a rare and tough attitude.

"...So, you have nothing to do with my family, right?" Kawasaki's words were like a general's.

The scene fell into complete silence.

Under such circumstances, Hikigaya's voice slowly sounded: "I think we should go back today. I'm already sleepy, and I'm leaving after drinking this cup."

"Yes, yes, Xiao Yukino, let's go back today!"

Yuigahama's words left Yukinoshita speechless.

The two then turned around and left.

Hikigaya did not leave immediately. He turned to look at Kawasaki Saki: "Can you lend me some time tomorrow morning and meet at the McDonald's on this road at 05:30?"

"why?"

"I believe you will come." Hikigaya said calmly and with magic words, "because I can give you what you want."

After saying that, he ignored Kawasaki's confusion and turned around silently.

"Wait a minute, the money hasn't been given yet."

"..."

Realizing that neither Yukinoshita nor Yuigahama had paid for the drinks just now, Hikigaya reluctantly took out the few thousand-yen bills he had from his arms, handed them to Saki Kawasaki, and left silently.

……

At five o'clock the next morning, Hikigaya sat silently on his seat at McDonald's, looking calmly at the scenery outside the window.

After a while, Kawasaki Saki's figure walked in from outside.

After arriving, she immediately asked:

"What are you going to say to me?"

"Well, let's sit down and take a rest first."

Hikigaya ignored the other person's amazing courage due to his sleepless night, and calmly pushed him over a cup of coffee.
