My youth romance is always confusing

Dinner at the Hikigaya family is always quiet, all thanks to a certain eldest daughter who teaches her daughter well. What's more, Hachiman is in a state where he doesn't even dare to breathe.

With a grateful attitude, I quickly put the food into my hungry stomach. Lord Yukinoshita, you have really been a great help.

After dinner, I went to the kitchen to help wash the dishes.

Seeing Hachiman approaching, Yukino consciously gave up the kitchen. Perhaps in her opinion, it was normal for him to do these chores.

"Didn't you say there was a meeting coming up?"

I slowly rinsed the dishes under the tap while talking to Yukinoshita.

Maybe it was because the dinner was so good, I felt comfortable just chatting with people I didn’t get along with.

"Why? Are you dissatisfied?"

Yukino was sitting on the sofa, stroking her daughter's hair while responding to someone's question.

"No, it's nothing."

I'm sorry, I was too presumptuous. I asked this question unintentionally because the feeling just now was so good.

I fell silent and continued to rinse the dishes in my hands. Come on, faucet, quickly defeat your enemy, the stain.

I, who always bully the weak and fear the strong, focus on bullying the stains who won't fight back.

"The person I was meeting with couldn't come because of something else, so I cancelled it."

As if to calm my doubts, Yukino added a reply in a calm tone.

"oh oh"

I am very grateful to Lord Yukinoshita for caring about my feelings.

Little Yunai suddenly looked at his parents, his eyes rolled around, and he raised his right hand as if to take credit.

"Hmm? Does Yuna-chan have anything to say?"

Noticing her daughter's actions, Yukino spoke softly with concern.

The difference in treatment over there is really obvious.

Not knowing what was going to happen, I complained in my heart about Yukinoshita's double standards.

"Hi! Dad is meeting his affair partner today!"

It's bad! I don't know why, but it just feels bad!

My hands holding the plate couldn't stop shaking. I thought Yukinoshita wouldn't think that I was the one who taught little Yuna these words. It feels so unfair!

As expected, after hearing what little Yuna said, Yukino's face, which originally had a sweet smile on it, suddenly became gloomy.

"Little Yunai, go back to the room first. Mommy has something to tell Daddy."

...

The end is here!!

And there is the little guy, still laughing there. Damn it, you little brat!

"that..."

I staggered to the front of Yukinoshita, ready to accept the next trial.

"Just asking you to pick up a child can cause so much trouble. Where did you come from? If you can't even do such a basic thing, you might as well just start over. Oh, I forgot, someone is in the state of restarting now. Alas, it's my fault for hurting your fragile heart, Hikigaya."

How scary, how scary! Yukinoshita is so scary when she says these words with a smile! As expected, Yuna-chan must have learned this from you, and the experimental subject is also "me". I feel really sad for my family status.

I was so lucky to have such a good dinner atmosphere.

Having said that, Yukino also knew that this matter probably had nothing to do with Hachiman, and she was just using it as an excuse to complain.

Even though I realized it later, I felt that something was wrong. Although we have been making fun of each other since high school, how could we still be so hostile to each other after getting married? I guess I always looked at this matter from the perspective of high school and that's why I didn't notice it.

"You had a fight with the previous 'me'?"

I cautiously tested it.

Yeah, although it has little to do with me, it’s still good to figure out why I always make inexplicable mistakes.

The only answer I got was silence. The fake smile that had been maintained on her snow-white face disappeared at this moment. As if she wanted to bury her face under her hair, Yukino turned her head away and didn't want to look at me.

Looking at this performance, I know I guessed right.

What kind of development is this? In my impoverished life of more than a decade, I have never experienced such a situation.

"Well, think about it. You and I are a couple after all. If you quarrel, it must be for the good of each other. If you can be more understanding, it will be fine."

Ah! What else can I say? I am so shameless that I can even say the word "couple" in front of others without changing my expression. Why should I whitewash something I haven't done yet? Is this a time-traveling capitalist?

"Pfft~"

I don’t know if it was my funny performance that made Yukinoshita laugh, but she was acting sullen just now but now she actually laughed out loud. Even looking at her movements, was she trying to hold back her laughter?

I was stunned by the casual glimpse.

Spring comes, the ice and snow melt, and flowers bloom in a riot of colour.

These are the only words that come to my mind right now.

It’s strange. My liberal arts foundation is obviously very solid, so why can I only think of these things at this moment?

I was stunned for a few seconds when I saw Yukino's smile, then I quickly shook my head to get rid of those weird things.

"So, who taught our little Yunai bad things?"

Is it obvious malicious intent this time? Yukinoshita changes her expression so quickly.

"Little Yunai said it was her aunt..."

"Sister? Oh."

Sure enough, when she heard that it was her sister, even Yukinoshita found it difficult to deal with the matter. After all, she was a super troublesome person.

"Forget it, let's talk about my sister later. What about you?"

Yukino only had a headache for a second, and then she turned the gun towards me.

Me? What did I do wrong? I did nothing wrong. It was not me who was wrong, it was the world that was wrong.

But honesty is also a virtue of being a human being. As a human being, I naturally want to promote this virtue.

"On the way there, I bumped into a junior named Isshiki Iroha. In order not to reveal my true identity, I stayed with her for a while."

What is this? A wife is forcing her husband to confess his affair? No, no, no, I don't know anything at the moment, so I suggest you vent your anger on me in a month (laughs).

"Hmm~ Isshiki-chan"

After hearing what Hachiman said, Yukino didn't show anything wrong, but Hachiman felt that the atmosphere seemed to have subtly changed.

"That's it. I'll tell my sister. Remember the way to pick up Yuna. I'll try to pick her up next time, but if anything happens I'll call you to pick her up."

Her white hands played with her hair, and Yukinoshita gave me a new order. Maybe this is how she gets along with "me"? Or is it how she gets along with me?

All in all it's a good thing that the problem has been solved.

"profound."

After responding, I went to finish my unfinished dishwashing task, and Yukinoshita also returned to the house, apparently to lecture little Yuna.

Well done, Yukinoshita, punish that brat.

I took this opportunity to wash the dishes and went into the study. In this crisis-ridden home, this is the only place that can bring me a little warmth.

Silent all night.

"Bye daddy!"

"Bon Voyage."

It was like pressing the replay button, and it was the same morning as yesterday, except that Yukinoshita looked more relaxed today than yesterday? Was it my illusion?

But it has nothing to do with me, just relax.

I turned on the TV and lay on the sofa like a useless person. What do you usually call this? Sofa potato?

"...the latest products, Bright Pearls and Brilliant Diamonds, are now on sale with great reviews."

What? Pokémon is remastered, and it's Pearl and Diamond? No, no, no, that's not the point. The point is that this is ten years later. If that happens, there will be many games that I haven't played, and I won't remember them when I go back. What do you call this? One memory, two joys?

Just as I excitedly picked up my phone to Google the sequels of the games I was looking forward to, the door to the entrance suddenly opened.

"Did you forget to take anything?"

I was curled up on the sofa, not looking back, and spoke to the air.

Wow, it's really convenient that air can transmit sound. If there was no air, I would have to get close to the person to talk, which would be very tiring.

Who knew that the person who came in was not Yukinoshita Yukino, but a more mature career beauty.

"Aha, Hikigaya-kun!"

Yukinoshita Haruno's energetic greeting immediately calmed me down from my excitement.

Trouble is coming, I thought.
