My youth romance is always confusing

I looked at Totsuka's profile, my mind filled with shock.

At this moment, I really wanted to say something, but my mouth seemed to be blocked by something, and my heart was a mess.

The cool sea breeze blowing on my face should have been a very pleasant thing, but even though it was a summer night, I suddenly felt a chill.

It was only a few seconds, but it seemed like half a century.

I just stared at Totsuka's face quietly.

"I--"

"Ah! Brother, if you don't like it, it's ok, but why did you throw it on the ground?"

Seeing the green peppers on the ground, Komachi rushed over from the other side in anger.

The strange atmosphere between the two was interrupted by an outsider.

Komachi looked at Hachiman with gritted teeth. She had just talked about his eating habits, and now he was throwing away the vegetables. Wasn't he trying to piss her off?

"Ah, that one, I accidentally dropped it."

I didn't know whether I should thank Komachi for pulling me out of this awkward situation, but I couldn't stay with Totsuka anymore without knowing what to say.

I followed Komachi back to Mr. Hiratsuka and the others, but the barbecue that had tasted so delicious before now seemed to be missing something.

All this was seen by the Yukinoshita sisters standing nearby.

"Ala, Hikigaya-kun ran away."

Yang Noi held up her chin with her hand and laughed as if she had seen something interesting.

Beside her, Yukino had no expression on her face.

"Totsuka-san probably noticed something because his sister said something to him."

Although it was a question, she actually already had the answer in her mind.

"right."

Yang Noi had no intention of hiding anything, so since her sister asked, she would just admit it directly.

To her, these are small things.

"But he had already suspected it before, and I just talked to myself for a while."

During this journey, a silent smiling tiger was actually watching the two of them.

"Really?"

Yukino guessed from the vehicle grouping that her sister might cause some mess.

I just didn't expect things to become so troublesome.

She pursed her lips, then looked at Yang Nai, her expression suddenly becoming serious.

"Sister, can I ask you for a favor?"

Noticing that her sister seemed to be getting serious, Yang Noi also put away the mask of fake smile, but there was still a hint of smile at the corner of her mouth.

"My lovely sister, if you have anything else to ask of me, please tell me."

Yukino stared at Haruno with her black gemstone-like eyes.

"During this trip, could you please not interfere with Hachiman's affairs?"

Although it was a request, there was a hint of command in the words.

Because she is my elder sister, I have to ask her, and because it must be done, it is an order.

However, Yang Noi did not show any emotional change and still had the same expression.

"Haha, is the relationship between husband and wife really that good? I was clearly plotting against you before."

"It has nothing to do with those things. I just simply hope that my sister won't complicate the situation any further."

"Even if you can't leave behind even a meaningless memory?"

"As long as he can enjoy this trip, that's enough."

The two sisters are at loggerheads again, but unlike in high school, this time Yukino is not doing it for herself, but for some weird guy.

Yang Nai closed the fan in her hand, put it in front of her mouth, and acted like a lady from a noble family.

"Well, since Yukino-chan has said so, then as her elder sister I have no choice but to obey."

"but--"

Haruno's eyes were fixed on Hachiman in the distance.

"Things now won't end so easily."

——If it was that man.

She closed her eyes and smiled.

Unlike the two quiet people here, the business in front of the barbecue stall is booming.

"Miyue, add ten more skewers of grilled lamb and three more skewers of leeks."

"Yes! Master!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka and Mitsuki were just like a real master and apprentice in a barbecue restaurant, and even their voices were much louder than usual.

But it feels so awkward to be a master.

As I continued to eat the kebab, my mind was still filled with the image of Totsuka.

In fact, there was always a voice in his heart telling him that he should have said it just now and should not hide it.

So what am I afraid of?

I'm afraid the answer will disappear deep into my body along with the roasted lamb.

Unlike Hachiman who was worried, Totsuka was not too depressed when he saw his friend escape. After all, there were some things that friends didn't know.

It's just that I feel a little depressed and feel like I don't have the trust of my friends.

But now Totsuka still cheered up, mixed in the crowd, and started to enjoy today's dinner.

There was no sign of the lost look he had just had at the beach.

"Speaking of which, Sister Caiyu, aren't you afraid of getting fat by eating so much?"

Komachi looked at the senior schoolmate who had hardly any presence the whole day and was eating voraciously, and couldn't help but worry.

Isshiki certainly wouldn't say it was because she was too hungry. She didn't know since when her appetite had become bigger. Maybe it was because of her old habits. Whenever she thought of someone, she would eat more. Whenever she thought of someone, she would eat more. Gradually, her appetite grew. Of course, after overeating, she would go through a painful period of weight loss. She had experienced this countless times.

"No... no worries."

The thick piece of meat filled her entire mouth, making it difficult for her to speak clearly.

Isshiki chewed them quickly and swallowed them all.

"Phew~, I just worked out too much today, it's okay to eat a little more."

“Yes…Is that so?”

Komachi continued to doubt her life while holding her string of peppers.

——How come Saki-san and Iroha-san can eat so much but don’t gain weight? Oh, the same goes for Hiratsuka-san. Is it really my own problem?

Compared to the noisy crowd, Zaimokuza seemed much quieter.

Since there weren't many people here who could mess with him, Totsuka and Hachiman didn't really pay any attention to him yet.

Now he could only observe everyone's actions in the name of "collecting materials" so that he could use this excuse to comfort himself for the fact that he was alone.

Fortunately, Totsuka came to find him soon.

"Zaimokuza, Hiratsuka-sensei asked us to bring out the fireworks."

Even though it was work again, it was better than being alone in a crowd, which would be too conspicuous.

Zaimokuza and Totsuka returned to the carriage and brought out the fireworks they had bought in bundles.

By the time the two returned to the barbecue stall, dinner was almost over.

"Um, Mr. Hiratsuka, I got the fireworks back."

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was concentrating on grilling the last batch of lamb, heard Totsuka's voice, "Oh, thank you for your hard work."

"It's fireworks, fireworks!"

Yuigahama was a little excited when she saw the fireworks scattered on the ground. She really liked playing with them.

Shizuka Hiratsuka bought a lot of fireworks, more than enough for everyone to have dozens of them.

"Here, Xiaoqi."

Yuigahama enthusiastically served as a staff member distributing fireworks, going door to door, perhaps for some childish reason such as wanting to have more fireworks in her hands in the end.

"Oh, thank you."

I took the fireworks and Yuigahama went to give the fireworks to the next person.

——Handheld fireworks? How should I play with this thing? It doesn't seem to be used to roast insects. Is it just for viewing? If I use a bazooka-style fireworks to bombard the live charge, I have some experience.

"Hahaha--"

Komachi's voice came from not far away. She and Mitsuki were running around with fireworks, and it was hard to tell that they had consumed too much energy during the day.

After a while, Yuigahama, who had distributed the fireworks, joined them, followed by Miura, who was dragged along by Ebina.

Each person held three or four fireworks with their fingers spread apart, lit them at the same time, and then performed some movements similar to the "Starburst Air Stream Slash" on the beach at night.

——I see, is this how you play it?

I used a lighter to light the candle used to ignite the fireworks, then took out a firework and carefully approached the fire.

"Thorn."

The moment it approached the flame, a bright green flame burst out from the front of the firework, illuminating everything in front of me.

Are fireworks so dazzling? I didn’t feel anything when I watched fireworks in the sky from the ground before.

However, fireworks are short-lived. No matter how many fireworks are used without restraint, they will only turn into garbage without any aesthetic value.

No matter how dazzling something is, it will become worthless garbage the moment it goes out.

To me personally, these things don't seem to mean anything, but as long as Komachi and the others are happy, that's fine.

After finishing a full day's trip, our group finally returned to the hotel in a mighty manner.

Of course, I was the one who carried the barbecue grill back, and they were the ones who cleaned up the garbage.

After a whole day of running around, everyone planned to have a good rest, but before that there was something more important, which was taking a bath.

Although this hotel is not very big, it still has everything it needs.

The girls all ran into the bathtub which was already filled with hot water, and as for the boys, I found an excuse to pack my things and ran out in order to avoid the awkwardness of being with Totsuka.

Standing at the door of the hotel, feeling the sea breeze, I hope it will make me more sober.

But while I was standing at the door in a daze, there was another person there.

"Aren't you going to take a shower?"

Yukinoshita stood beside me, letting the sea breeze blow her long hair.

"The girls' bathhouse can't hold so many people at once. What about you? You're not taking a shower at this hour and you're still hanging around outside. Could it be that the boys' bathhouse is occupied by Zaijin-san alone?"

People call it Zaimokuza, not Zaitsu.

I didn't answer her question but continued to daydream in the sea breeze.

"It looks like something is on your mind."

Yukino didn't let go of Hachiman who obviously didn't want to talk, "It's good to think about it, but don't waste this trip. Have a good time and don't ruin everyone's mood."

After saying this, she left Hachiman with her back turned and walked away.
