My youth romance is always confusing

"Hikigaya, you've already finished your apprenticeship. You don't need to come back tomorrow."

Facing Hachiman was the slightly weathered face of the middle-aged coach.

Hmm? I remember that when I came here a few days ago, Coach Domoto seemed to be very energetic. Why has he aged so quickly recently?

Who knows? Maybe it’s because the younger generation is advancing too fast, causing the older generations to feel that they are already old.

"Okay, coach."

Regardless, it was nice to have a mission concluded and I couldn’t possibly have a problem with that.

It would be a stretch to say that I am a professional racing driver now, but if I just drive on the road, I can definitely be as good as those drivers who have been driving for five or six years.

"Then I'm leaving, Rumi."

"Ah."

After saying goodbye to Tsurumi who was still working hard, I returned home and turned into a lazy Hikigaya.

I just came back from outside on a hot day and was sweating all over. I chose to wipe myself off with a towel and then stay in the air-conditioned room for a while before taking a shower. As we all know, it is not good to take a shower right after sweating.

I thought for a while about what to do next, but I didn't know what to do.

"Ah, so boring."

Hikigaya Hachiman made the same sound as Yukinoshita Haruno.

"Forget it, let's go online and see if there's anything interesting."

Lying on the sofa, I decided to kill some time in front of the computer.

Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any particular difference between computers ten years later and those ten years ago, in terms of keyboard, mouse, host, and monitor, at least there haven’t been many changes in terms of functionality.

"Om~"

After pressing the power button, the fan started to spin on its own.

Looking at the computer in the study which is all black in color, I feel like it has been used for quite a long time.

My right hand held a mouse that was clearly superior to that of my time.

What comes with it is a more comfortable feel.

Well, is this the advancement of technology? I already understand it very well.

I opened the browser and searched for the comics and games that I cared about.

"What? Naruto is finished, and Bleach is finished too? Then I have to see how Detective Conan is doing."

The sudden news hit me in the chest, and I excitedly checked the development of other comics.

"Detective Conan and One Piece haven't even finished yet. These two are too persistent. Please consider the feelings of your co-stars."

Having said that, my classmates would not consider me, haha.

Ignoring the sad fact that I had become accustomed to, I continued browsing information on the Internet.

"Ah~"

I watched for a long time, maybe because all the benefits were taken by my brain, even my waist began to protest. As a capitalist brain, I could only obey my waist for a short time and give it some time to rest.

In short – I stretched.

"Uh-huh?"

I found a drawer that was not completely closed when I was looking for my driver's license two days ago. It seemed like something was stuck in the gap and caused it to not be closed.

I opened the drawer again, and found a small crimson cloth bag stuck in there.

What? A talisman.

I picked it up and touched it, and there were some relatively small patterns on it.

It seems like it was sent from the shrine I went to before to pray for Komachi's exam?

Looking at the familiar amulet, I gradually remembered the origin of this thing.

I casually put the amulet into my trouser pocket and continued to read the information in the comics.

I don’t know how long I looked at it before my waist protested again.

Okay, okay, I'll give you a day off this time.

So I shut down my computer and went to the bathroom.

After turning on the faucet, slightly warm water poured over my head.

"what--"

To relieve fatigue, I rinsed my hair with water to make myself feel more refreshed.

Then I looked at the laundry basket and found that there were all kinds of clothes in it.

Yukinoshita is so rude.

As usual, I washed the clothes that couldn't be washed in the machine by hand. Well, I'm used to it.

The soft touch on my hand could not shake my will.

A daily routine of chores like this isn't bad, is it?

After finishing the laundry task, I went to see Yukinoshita's bedroom and Yuna's bedroom. After helping them tidy up the messy places, I went to the balcony.

Including the flowers that Yuigahama had sent me before, there were a total of five pots of flowers. As someone who is not good with plants, I have no impression of the other pots except for the pot of sunflowers that can be recognized at a glance.

I watered them as usual, adjusted their position slightly according to the sunlight, and then went out. It seems that it is Yukinoshita who usually takes care of these things.

After cleaning up the house, I sat in front of the computer again. Well, after all, my only entertainment activities besides books and animations are games.

Computers can satisfy my three interests at the same time and can be said to be the most cost-effective form of entertainment.

"The mail is coming. The mail is coming."

Just as I sat down, a familiar voice came from the phone.

Huh? How come after all these years, I still hear the same sound when I receive emails? How nostalgic am I?

I opened my phone with my fingerprint and looked for the sender.

"Iseki Iseki."

That noisy junior must be up to no good, so why don’t you just stop watching him?

After some mental struggle, I opened the email.

FromIchi Cailv

To Hachiman

[Senior, are you free today? I have something to ask you. ]

Sure enough, he wanted to ask me out, but it was quite difficult to deal with this guy last time, so I might as well find an excuse to refuse.

While I was still thinking about it, the email was updated again.

[Why don’t you reply, senior? It’s obviously a cute junior who is asking you for help. w(?Д?)w]

[Is he pretending to be away? Senior is really mean o(≧口≦)o]

【Hurry up and reply to the letter】

The emails are updated at a very fast pace.

It’s not that I didn’t reply, it’s that you sent it too quickly.

After sighing, I started editing the information.

FromHikigaya Hachiman

To一色羽

【Time and place.】

Short and simple is my style.

FromIchi Cailv

To Hachiman

[The cafe next to the central station, senior, please come quickly, or your cute school girl will be kidnapped. _(?Д?)?]

This guy, why is he pretending to be cute?

I turned off my phone, took my keys and went out.

"Let me see."

I finally learned how to drive and after memorizing a lot of traffic rules, I can finally go on the road. I will definitely drive when I have the chance. This is the lingering feeling of being an adult.

"By the way, why are all the cars of the Yukinoshita family black? No wonder Haruno buys cars in all kinds of colors."

After that, I drove the car towards the place Isshiki mentioned.

Fortunately, there were few cars on the road, which made a novice like me feel safe when driving, and there were plenty of parking spaces at the destination.

"Café, café."

I started looking for the cafe that Isshiki mentioned.

"Ok?"

What appeared before my eyes was a fashionable-looking cafe, with wooden patterned wall decorations, outdoor seats with green parasols, and large floor-to-ceiling windows that provided good lighting.

I could even clearly see Isshiki sitting inside, playing with his phone boredly.

Hey, this is Chiba. Is it really okay to open such a trendy cafe?

Along with the sound of the door being pushed open, the words "Welcome" came to my ears.

Ignoring the strange looks from others, I walked straight towards Isshiki.

"Don't you have to go to work?"

Hearing another strange man talking to him, Isshiki was startled at first, his ears twitched for a moment, then he looked up and found that it was Hachiman, and he regained his relieved look.

"Senpai~ If you talk to a strange girl like this, it's sexual harassment."

"You're the one who asked me to come out, otherwise I would have gone back."

After saying that, I pretended not to be reluctant to leave and looked like I was about to leave.

Sure enough, Isshiki, who was lazy just now, suddenly stood up and pulled my arms with both hands.

"senior!"

But I was just pretending and had no intention of leaving, so I teased her a little and then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"So, you don't have to go to work today?"

"Hey~ Why is it that question again? Today is my day off. I'm on vacation."

Isshiki was playing with the straw in his hand, his long flaxen hair casually falling from his shoulders. Due to the weather, the sandals and white short skirt he wore also highlighted his charm as a junior.

But those things are meaningless to Hachiman.

"Why don't you stay at home during your vacation and ask me out? What's going on?"

Hachiman looked at Isshiki's bored look and felt that she seemed no different from the last time they met, they were both in the cafe and looked bored.

Out of concern for my friend, I took the initiative to ask Isshiki.
