My youth romance is always confusing

After a lot of trouble from my juniors, I finally returned home in the afternoon.

"Ok?"

Fine raindrops slid down from the sky, and gray clouds covered the top of the head. The summer weather is changeable. It was sunny just now, but now it started to drizzle, and it looked like the drizzle would get worse.

But this has nothing to do with me. After parking the car, I returned home and quietly watched the heavy rain outside.

People on the street were in a panic due to the sudden rain. Many people did not bring umbrellas and had to take shelter in this place. Some people looked very anxious, so they held things on their heads and ran wildly in the rain.

"How dangerous."

Looking at those people rushing around, I think it is too dangerous to do this in the heavy rain. If you are not careful, you will be sent to another world by the truck driver (laughs)

However, a corporate slave is still a corporate slave even when he or she arrives in another world.

Fortunately, I sent Yi Se back in advance, otherwise that guy would have ended up like this if he hadn't brought an umbrella.

Thinking of his slightly troublesome junior, Hikigaya was glad that he had sent the little troublemaker home early.

"Speaking of umbrellas..."

I remembered that Yukinoshita didn't bring an umbrella when she left today. Would it be troublesome? At least it would be troublesome to pick up Yuna and take her home.

Just make a phone call.

With the intention of trying my best to relieve Yukinoshita's worries, I picked up the phone.

I found Yukinoshita's number and pressed the call button.

"Drip-drip-"

It's afternoon now, so it shouldn't be too busy. At least there should be time to answer a phone call.

Listening to the busy tone, I waited quietly.

Suddenly, the call was connected, and Yukino's somewhat tired voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hikigaya-kun? What's going on?"

"Ah, I see it's raining outside and it won't stop for a while. You haven't brought an umbrella today, so why don't I go and take little Yuna home."

In order not to take up too much of Yukinoshita's working time, I hurriedly conveyed my ideas to her.

After hearing what her young husband said, Yukino raised her head from the pile of reports and looked at the weather outside the window.

"It's raining."

Her usually beautiful long black hair now looked droopy due to working too long.

Just as a cat's tail shows the cat's mood, Yukino's hair also reflects the owner's current state.

"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"Ah, no trouble, no trouble. It's what I should do."

I was flattered by the Ice Queen's request, and I quickly said that this was my job.

Just when I was about to hang up the phone, I heard a few coughs from the other end.

"Are you okay?"

There was a concern in my voice that I wasn't even aware of.

"...No. Maybe I'm a little tired. I'll leave little Yuna in your care."

Yukino didn't give Hachiman a chance to reply and simply hung up the phone.

——Isn’t this even more worrying?

I sighed as I looked at the phone screen showing that the call had ended.

As if responding to Hikigaya Hachiman's bad mood, the rain in the sky was getting heavier and heavier.

I didn't stay at home for long before I drove to pick up little Yunai.

The kindergarten still ended school on time as usual, but because of the rain, everyone was waiting under the eaves at the door for their parents to pick them up, instead of running to their parents all at once like before, which reduced the workload of the teachers.

This scene reminded Hachiman of the stray cat that had been abandoned on the road before, squatting in a paper box, waiting for a kind passerby to claim it.

After parking the car in a place where it is easy to leave, I opened the door and walked towards little Yunai holding a big black umbrella.

"Little Yuuna——"

But unlike usual, little Yunai was not as happy as before when she heard my voice. Instead, she was a little shy.

"dad--"

As soon as Hachiman finished shouting, little Yuna ran under the umbrella in the rain.

I nodded and gestured as the teacher did, then left with my daughter.

"Huh? Why are you unhappy?"

Ever since little Yunai got on the car, the child has been unusually quiet, not as lively as before.

"No...nothing."

Only little Yuna herself knows what she is thinking. Today, those bad guys in the class said something like, "Hikigaya-san is just a kid who clings to his parents," and "Hikigaya-san won't be able to do anything if he leaves his parents," and so on.

It made her unhappy all day.

Realizing that little Yunai might have encountered some unhappy things in kindergarten, I couldn't remain silent.

Although I didn't grow up with little Yunai, the memories of my time as a lonely person in kindergarten still remain.

Most of it is just gossip.

From my perspective as a grown-up, those things are boring, but for children, they may still be quite annoying.

"It's raining so hard today, so we won't let Mr. Hiratsuka come over. Let's cancel today's lesson."

I can only help little Yuna relax a little from other places.

After hearing what Hachiman said, Yuna, who was originally a little gloomy, suddenly felt better.

"Yeah! Dad, hehe."

But in the final analysis, whether this situation can be changed still depends on the person's own willingness. Little Yuna is not as cold and unapproachable as Yukinoshita, plus she is very outstanding, so she should be able to handle it herself. If it is still like this after a while, then it is time for the parents to take action.

When I got home, I let little Yunai play by herself and gave her a good day off today.

"Mr. Hiratsuka, it's raining so hard today so I won't bother you. It's a good time to give Yuna a break. Okay."

After hanging up the call with Mr. Hiratsuka, I turned around and got a towel to wipe little Yuna's face. Although she was holding an umbrella just now, some raindrops still fell on her little face.

"Click."

It was the sound of the entrance door opening.

At this time, Yukinoshita must have returned.

Yukino dragged her body and closed the door with difficulty. It seemed that she was slightly drenched by the rain before getting into the car.

"Are you OK."

I saw that Yukinoshita looked exhausted. Her bangs were wet from the rain and stuck to her forehead, becoming messy.

Seeing that she was wet, I quickly handed her the towel.

Yukino didn't bother to be polite with Hachiman and just took it and wiped her face with it.

"Is the bath water ready?"

Yukino's weak voice reached Hachiman's ears. The Ice Queen of the past had long disappeared, and only a sick beauty was left here.

There must be something wrong with my body.

"Oh, okay, are you going to take a shower now?"

Yukino also felt something was wrong with her body. She stood in front of the entrance and tried to take off her shoes with her hands, but unfortunately she couldn't take them off.

Seeing this scene, Hachiman subconsciously wanted to help Yukino take off her shoes, but then he controlled himself.

——What am I thinking about!

However, he did not help Yukino take off her shoes. Instead, Hachiman stepped forward to support the somewhat shaky Yukino, giving her a foothold so that she could take off her shoes safely.

With the help of her young husband, Yukino finally took off the two tightly buckled shoes on her feet. The elf-like feet that were originally tightly wrapped jumped out. Coupled with the charming beauty of the tight black stockings, a touch of temptation was added out of thin air to the wet beauty in front of her, forming a complete contrast with the original impression of the iceberg beauty.

Yukino looked at Hachiman who was stunned for a while, but ignored him and simply pulled his arm.

Feeling the movement on my hand, I quickly came to my senses and helped the sick little cat lady to the bathroom.

After completing my mission, I went to find little Yunai and told her that her mother was sick and asked her not to make too much noise at night.

Little Yunai is a good kid after all, she understood what I said.

"I understand. Dad and Mom want to live alone."

You know a hammer!

Watching little Yunai running away with a smirk on her face, I decided to personally tutor her on her homework for today.

Forget it, I'd better go back and take care of Yukinoshita.

Hearing the water splashing in the bathroom, I remembered that Yukinoshita didn't bring any change of clothes in.

I quickly went to her bedroom and got out a set of underwear and pajamas.

As for the process and selection, there is not much to say.

Then I pushed the door open and went in. The bathroom of the Hikigaya family was inside the restroom. It was a two-layer structure. If you open the door of the first layer, you will see two spaces separated by the washing machine and the toilet. Further inside is the bathroom separated by a glass door.

As expected of a rich man, even his bathroom is so big.

"Yukinoshita, the clothes are here."

I put the laundry in the basket, pushed it in front of the glass door, and walked away without waiting for her reply.
