My youth romance is always confusing

"Ah!"

The loud sound of a sneeze seemed a little abrupt in the quiet office.

I picked up a tissue and wiped my nose.

"Xiaoqi, are you okay?"

Yuigahama, who was chatting with Yukino about girls' topics, turned around and looked at the shivering Hachiman with a concerned look.

"Someone didn't come to school yesterday and caught a cold."

When someone in the department caught a cold, a certain ice queen tried to use her aura to make the temperature in the department lower.

If it were any other time, I would have fought her for three hundred rounds.

But I'm not feeling well today, so forget it.

I stood in the rain with the little guy for half a day yesterday and caught a cold.

But being sick is nothing. The strange thing is that even I, who is in good health, got sick, but Mitsuki was like nothing happened.

Could it be that she has a strong resistance to this disease?

I continued to curl up in the chair like a caterpillar.

"Where's Xiao Meiyue? Didn't she come today?"

Since the topic has come to this, Yuigahama no longer dragged Yukino to continue talking about those topics between girls in the class, which made Yukino secretly relieved.

"She? She's probably in Hiratsuka-sensei's office."

"Wow~"

Just as Hachiman finished speaking, the door of the club room was opened.

I glanced outside with tired eyes.

People come when they say so.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, wearing a white coat, led Mitsuki behind her and walked into the club room with more confidence than anyone else.

"Teacher, knock on the door."

I don't know how many times this has happened, but Hiratsuka-sensei's habit of barging in without knocking has given Yukino a headache.

"Sorry sorry."

The female teacher said sorry but she probably wouldn't knock next time she came in. She glanced at the people in the lower office and nodded.

"Everyone looks fine."

The female teacher held up her plump breasts and stood in front of everyone, nodding her head non-stop like a food critic commenting on each dish.

I raised my right hand tremblingly.

"Mr. Hiratsuka, how did you know I was okay?"

"What? Are you going to ask for leave?"

In fact, she had seen Hachiman looking sick during the Chinese class today, but she thought that if his condition was really serious he would definitely not come. The fact that he could come to class showed that it was not that serious.

"Ask for leave? It would have been better if the teacher had told me earlier. School is already over now."

I raised my eyelids with some effort, trying to take a look at the shameless female teacher in front of me.

But unfortunately, from my position lying on the table, I can only see the pair of majestic peaks.

Damn it, you two little brats, get out of the way! I want to see if that female Tyrannosaurus Rex looks calm when she mocks me.

"But unfortunately, if you take another leave, it may affect your attendance score this month."

"for example?"

"Just take it off."

"Hey, I asked for leave anyway, why did you deduct all my money?"

Really, are those inflexible guys in the Academic Affairs Office really doing their job properly?

I remembered the somewhat bald principal whom I met after school.

Oh, I wish you were a little balder.

But Xiao Meiyue is here now, so there is no need for me to continue to accompany this group of people with my sick body.

"I'm going back."

Resisting the urge to sneeze, I pulled out my chair and walked towards Mitsuki.

"Ala, someone is leaving early again."

"I have reasons anyway."

Maybe because I had a cold, Miyue didn't hold my hand like usual, but just stood quietly beside me.

"If there is anything else happening in the service department, please do your best to fill this vacancy."

"Are you a capitalist from somewhere?"

"Really? I'm just learning the advanced teaching philosophy of our dean. Do you want to discuss it with him in person?"

Tsk, this guy.

Looking at Yukinoshita's expression that was obviously making fun of me, I wished this woman would disappear from this world as soon as possible.

"Xiaoqi, Xiaomeiyue, bye!"

In the end, it was Yuigahama who gave us a ride via voice.

Along the way, Miyue was no different from usual, still very quiet.

I was also feeling a bit tired due to a cold, so I became even more silent.

After returning home, the little guy hid in his room alone and would probably not come out until dinner time.

"Brother."

Seeing Mitsuki like this, Komachi was a little worried.

Although she did not attend yesterday's funeral, she still heard about it.

"There's nothing we can do. We don't have any good way to deal with this kind of thing. We can only let nature take its course."

After putting my somewhat heavy schoolbag on the sofa, I went back to the room and took out some tissues and placed them next to me.

But leaving the little guy alone is not a good solution.

Um...

"How about finding her something to do? I don't know what that girl is doing right now, so she's always having random thoughts."

"It seems... to make sense?"

Komachi took out tomatoes from the refrigerator and agreed with Hachiman.

My eyelids twitched as I looked at the pile of tomatoes in her hands.

He coughed twice in a somewhat pretentious manner.

"Um... Komachi, we want to discover Mitsuki's hobbies, so how about we start by tasting a variety of vegetables?"

Komachi raised her eyebrows, seeing through Hachiman's little thoughts.

"That's not a hobby. Besides, this is just an excuse you gave to yourself for not wanting to eat tomatoes."

"Prejudice, this is prejudice. Why don't you think about the fact that Mitsuki herself doesn't like to eat it?"

"How is that possible? I didn't eat tomatoes like you did before. It was like taking medicine."

In response to Hachiman's explanation, Komachi rolled her eyes at him.

Damn it, now Mizuki has to take the blame.

Well, I don’t really like tomatoes though.

"But... since you're sick, let's not do this today."

Komachi considerately put the tomatoes back into the refrigerator and replaced them with some potatoes.

"Ah, what Komachi said just now scored very high."

This guy just knows how to act cute.

After dinner, Miyue went back to her bedroom without saying anything, nor did she show any sign of being distracted.

But that's what I find tricky.

Lying on the bed in the room, I felt that my cold seemed to be better than during the day.

The nose also became clearer.

"Hobbies...hobbies."

What exactly is Mitsuki's hobby?

In a family with a traditional education, what about music, chess, calligraphy and painting?

Thinking about Xiao Meiyue, who is like a lady from a noble family, I think it is possible.

But after thinking about it a little more, I ruled out this possibility.

Probably not. Taking care of her seriously ill uncle takes up a lot of her time, so I don’t think she would have that kind of hobby.

But if I rule out this possibility, I can’t think of any new possibilities.

Eh? Wait, I remember that guy was holding his phone and taking pictures a few days ago.

In this case...

------------

"so expensive."

During the break, I searched for the prices of various cameras on my mobile phone. The zeros behind each number made me wonder if I had read it wrongly.

"What's so expensive."

"what?"

I thought it was some strange person talking to me, but when I looked up, it was Totsuka.

Totsuka, smiling as always, sat in the seat in front of Hachiman.

He touched his hair, trying to make himself look neater in front of Hachiman.

"Ah, nothing much, I just wanted to buy something recently and found it a little expensive."

I don't know why, but I always feel relaxed when chatting with Totsuka.

Could it be that we two are unexpectedly compatible?

"This happens all the time. I often don't have enough money when I want to buy something."

"And what did you do?"

"Generally speaking, I would ask my parents for money first. If that doesn't work, I might work part-time during my spare time."

Totsuka placed his chin on his delicate white fingers, thinking back to what he had done in the past.

Because of this action, his long, thin neck was exposed under the short-collared school uniform.

Hachiman couldn't help but be dazed when he saw it.

"Ah...part-time job?"

After realizing my gaffe, I quickly brought the topic back to the original track.

It's really dangerous, Totsuka, if you're not careful you'll end up on the Totsuka Route.

Thinking of his previous part-time job experience, Totsuka felt a little embarrassed, and his hands were entangled in everything hesitantly.

"Well... before, when I passed by the maid shop, they asked me to go over and try it."

What? Maid?

The image of Uchitozuka dressed as a maid kept appearing in my mind.

The black and white maid uniform and the long skirt that drags on the ground match Totsuka's delicate face.

Then he raised his head and said softly, "Master~"

Oh no, I'm going to die.

I lay on the table and covered my eyes with darkness.

Hikigaya Hachiman is also having an amazing imagination today.
