My youth romance is always confusing

The warm spring slowly turns into summer as time goes by.

There is a unique atmosphere in the early summer noon. The sun clearly wants to shine all of its light on the earth, but is blocked by the clouds.

Chiba is close to the bay, and there is always a cool sea breeze blowing at noon, so in order to escape from the noisy classroom, I chose to go to the rooftop.

Kawasaki is also in the classroom now, and there should be no one there.

With this thought in mind, I walked up the stairs with my lunch.

After opening the door that blocked out the sunlight, I was greeted by a cool sea breeze and a back figure.

Her thin black hair danced in the wind, and her slender legs supported her somewhat thin figure. From a distance, she looked like a peony swaying in the wind, making people worry that she would be blown away in the next second.

This figure looks very familiar to me.

However, I didn’t impulsively run up to him and start a conversation because that would seem stupid and it’s not my style.

Besides, if I did that, I would probably be scolded by this guy, and I wouldn’t even be in the mood to eat lunch.

So I walked past her as if no one was around, ignoring her in a glamorous way.

Although doing this brings me full circle and makes me look a little silly.

After walking a few steps, I pretended that I had just noticed her.

"Ah, what a coincidence."

“…”

Yukino looked at the man in front of her, speechless.

Is this guy such a vengeful person?

"Who are you imitating with that tone, Hitotani-kun?"

Haha, although you seem to be calm at all, but the wrong name in your words betrayed your inner turmoil in a split second, Yukinoshita.

I cleared my throat, found a place to sit down, and prepared to have my lunch today.

"It looks like whoever you say it looks like."

I tore open the bag of bread and stuffed the carbohydrate complex into my mouth.

Yeah, that's the feeling. As a living being, I can only realize that I'm alive when I put this thing in my mouth.

Yukino didn't know what she was thinking. She stared into the distance in a daze.

Perhaps there is some magic in this place called Tiantai, everyone who comes here is willing to look into the distance with their own eyes.

Or is it that, as terrestrial life forms, looking into the distance is ingrained in our genes?

I bit the straw on my yogurt and looked at her back.

Oh, by the way, Komachi bought a piece of clothing for Mizuki yesterday. As her brother, should I also buy her a gift or something?

I can speak from my experience of failing miserably in gift-giving. Even as an elementary school girl, I didn’t have the confidence to be successful in gift-giving.

I subconsciously looked at Yukinoshita, but who knew that she was looking at me at the same time.

A certain awkward atmosphere spread between the two of us.

"..."

"..."

The words are on the tip of my tongue, but I can't seem to say them in this atmosphere.

But compared to myself, I still care more about Xiao Meiyue.

"that..."

"that..."

The two of them spoke at the same time again.

Hachiman and Yukino, who were about to continue talking, were stunned again.

Yukino held her right hand in front of her chest. The calm expression on her face had long since disappeared, leaving only a hint of embarrassment.

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

Once again, they both spoke at the same time.

I scratched my head, thinking that if this continued like this, there would be no end to it.

So I stood up and turned the focus to myself.

"Actually, I have something I want to ask you."

Yukino raised an eyebrow.

It's rare that this guy would ask me something.

But she didn't say much. Rather, she just happened to have something to ask her.

She clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and her long hair fluttered quietly in the wind behind her.

Waiting for Hachiman to speak.

I organized my words and said awkwardly, "Do you know what gifts to give to elementary school girls?"

Suddenly, Yukino took out her cell phone.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't mess around. It's not what you think."

Hachiman hurriedly tried to stop her, and Yukino put down the phone in her hand that was about to call the police.

She looked at him with an extremely alert expression.

"Although I have underestimated you, I didn't expect that you would make me see the possibility of the evil side of human beings in this matter, Hikigaya-kun."

"I already said no."

It was with great difficulty that I stopped her from calling the police.

Really, where did this bad habit of taking out the phone to call the police come from?

"As a girl, I don't think it's difficult to call the police."

"Hey, are you the one, the Yukinoshita mind-reading monster?"

This guy is always sensitive in inexplicable places.

It was only when I looked at her half-smiley face that I realized I had been fooled.

"Hey, you guy."

"Ala, have you reacted?"

Yukino put her phone away, then held her chin with her soft palm and looked at Hachiman with a teasing look.

There is no doubt that this is a return gift for what was just ignored.

"cut."

This guy really refuses to admit defeat.

"It's for Mitsuki-chan, right?"

"Since you've guessed it, don't mess around."

Facing such snow, I have a headache.

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, I found a place to lean on.

"It's just as you thought. Mitsuki just came to our house and I want to give her a gift, but I have no experience and I don't know what to give her."

Yukino's heart skipped a beat when she heard the information she didn't know before.

It turned out that the little girl had just arrived at his house not long ago.

She lowered her head and pondered for a while.

"Well, actually if you ask me I don't know either."

"Hey, you're really useful right now."

But no matter how much Hachiman complained, Yukino could do nothing about it.

"I can't help it. I've never given a gift to a child of this age. Even if you ask me, I don't know."

Yukino used the same tone as always, as if she was stating a fact.

Apparently, it is indeed true.

"Well, at least you're a girl, right? You've been through the elementary school stage, so you might as well give me some advice."

My reason told me that what Yukinoshita said might be true. After all, she did seem to have no experience in the 'average' attribute.

Yukino thought seriously about her experiences in elementary school, and her expression became subtle.

"Are you sure you want me to tell you? My thoughts are very different from those of ordinary people."

I recalled Mitsuki's daily behavior and felt that Yukinoshita's suggestions should be of some reference value.

"It's okay, just tell me."

Since the person involved has said so, Yukino has nothing to worry about.

She thought back to her own code of conduct.

"If it were me, I would probably consider practicality first. Generally speaking, I wouldn't want beautiful things if they are not practical."

"I see. Is it practical?"

I agree with what Yukinoshita said to a certain extent. After all, something that only looks good may not really be of much use and is just put away after purchase.

“Then comes the value.”

"value?"

"Yes, if the value of this item can be preserved for a longer period of time, I will consider it."

"Then what's the difference between this and practicality? Aren't they the same?"

Shelf life is also a practical aspect.

Xue No nodded after hearing this, "You are right, I didn't think it through. But if that's the case, then I can only suggest that you start with practicality. If the child has just come to your house, it would be better to see what is missing in life. "

"In life..."

I remembered that Komachi had been moving a lot of things into Mitsuki's room in recent days, so it seemed that she had everything she needed for the time being.

Eh? No, Mitsuki is still missing something.

"Cellphone, she doesn't seem to have her own cellphone."

I haven't seen her take it out and use it at home, so I guess she really doesn't have it.

"A cell phone? That's a good choice too."

Yukino also thought this was a good decision. It was practical and not out of place. Even if it was given to an elementary school student, it wouldn't be too much.

However, some parents seem unwilling to let their children Xiouao be exposed to mobile phones too early, but judging from his appearance, it seems that his family does not control this matter so strictly.

"Thanks, Yukinoshita."

After all, this is the result of my thinking based on other people's advice, so I still have to accept this favor.

In that case, let's listen to her question.

"Nothing. After all, I have something to ask you."

For some reason, Yukino suddenly started to act awkward.

The whole body feels a little unnatural.

"Um... Yuigahama's birthday is coming up soon. As a return gift, I want to give her a birthday present. Do you know what she likes?"

"Eh?"

My brain didn't wrap its head around it for a moment.

That ice queen is going to give someone a gift? And she comes to ask me?

"No... Even if you say so, I don't know what Yuigahama likes."

Although I feel a little sorry for her help just now, I really don't know what Yuigahama likes.

"Let me put it another way. As a response to the previous question, could you please... come out with me this weekend so I can look for some gifts? Oh, and you can also bring Xiao Meiyue with you. I also want to pick a gift for her."

"Wait, wait, you're asking too much. I'm a little overwhelmed."

Apart from the other things, I can't imagine how she was thinking just from the first one. It would be better to find another girl.

“…”

Oh, by the way, she doesn’t seem to know anyone else.

As long as I keep it a secret from Yuigahama, it seems like I'm the only person of my age I can find.

Although I don't want to go out with this mobile air conditioner, it's actually acceptable if I take Xiao Meiyue with me.

It was also nice to have a girl there to help me choose a gift.

"make a deal."

It was natural for him to say something like a deal.

But neither Yukinoshita nor I have any complaints. In essence, this is just a favor transaction.

"Then let's set it for the weekend after the midterm exam. As for the location..."

"It's in the mall next to Minami-Funabashi Station. I was there last week and I'm familiar with the terrain now."

Yukino was surprised to hear that Hachiman actually went back to the mall to shop.

"it is good."
