My youth romance is always confusing

"Huh? A date?"

"Keep your voice down!"

Zaimokuza looked up stealthily and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one was looking at him because of Hachiman's shout.

"Oh.. sorry."

I just couldn't control my emotions.

But this guy said before that he was just going out to collect materials, but now it has upgraded to a date? He seems very confident.

"So? What do you want to ask?"

Totsuka and I found a seat next to Zaimokuza and sat down.

Zaimokuza scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Didn't I say before that I was going to collect materials? Then I thought about it and realized that I really don't have any experience in this kind of thing. It would be bad if I made a mistake. So I wanted to ask if there is anything I should pay attention to when going out on a date."

"You asked us?"

Totsuka and I looked at each other.

"We have never been in a relationship, especially me. I'm a high school student. I don't know if you ask me this."

There is nothing I can do to help with this.

The advice I have given before is my best effort. No matter how much a person without practical experience thinks, it is just castles in the air.

Who would have thought that after hearing what Hachiman said, Zaimokuza did not become discouraged, but instead his eyes brightened.

"No experience?"

"That's great!"

Eh?

Is this guy crazy?

"No... What on earth are you thinking about, I—"

Before I could finish my words, Zaimokuza grabbed both of my hands.

He looked at me excitedly.

"It's better to be inexperienced. Experienced people won't understand newbies like us, but if they are people with zero experience, they will definitely be able to put themselves in our shoes."

"Besides -"

Zaimokuza rolled his eyes and gave a sly smile.

"Yawata, you will be married to Yukinoshita-san in the future, so your current decision is definitely of reference value."

"Oh... Really?"

Although it sounds outrageous, if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense?

I pretended to cough twice.

"In that case, let me hear your question."

"Hehe, you are worthy of being my friend Hachiman."

"So, first question!"

Although there was no one around, Zaimokuza rubbed his palms together to hide his embarrassment.

"Hmm, what do you think about the dating process, Hachiman?"

"Hmm... Um... The process of a date... Let's go to the cinema to kill a few hours first."

"The purpose of coming here is to kill time."

Totsuka on the side smiled helplessly.

Not noticing Totsuka's expression, Hachiman continued to elaborate on his thoughts, "First of all, romance movies must be ruled out. How can people who meet for the first time watch a romance movie? That would be so embarrassing."

"So...what should we watch?"

"Hehe, if I had to choose, I would definitely watch a controversial B-grade movie. That way, both sides can discuss the movie as a topic to open up the conversation after watching it."

"I see."

While listening to Master Hachiman's teachings, Zaimokuza took notes in the booklet with a pen. He looked extremely serious.

Seeing him listening so attentively, my interest also piqued.

"In addition, in order to avoid embarrassment for the two of them, I would definitely choose not to buy tickets for consecutive seats. In fact, one in the front row and one in the back row would be the best."

“…”

Totsuka no longer wanted to say anything.

"I see, so that's how it is. It's so that we can both watch the movie with peace of mind, and then have something to talk about when discussing the movie, right? You are really worthy of being Mr. Hachiman."

Hachiman, who received praise from Zaimokuza, showed a proud look on his face.

"Yeah, and if there's a conflict in the discussion, then—"

"Then let the other party go?"

Zaimokuza tried to guess Hachiman's thoughts, but unfortunately he failed.

"Then fight with reason. Women are a bunch of trouble, especially Yukinoshita. If that woman lets her see the possibility of winning, she will definitely pursue her relentlessly, so——"

Halfway through the conversation I realized I seemed to have gone off track.

"Ahem, no matter what, it's best to keep your own attitude."

"Yeah, keep your attitude and argue your case."

Totsuka looked at Zaimokuza taking notes, not knowing what to say.

"Then Hachiman, generally speaking, when men and women go out to eat, where do they choose to go? Is it something more Western or more traditional?"

Zaimokuza continued to ask questions as if no one was around.

"If it were me, I would choose to take her out for ramen."

I put myself in their shoes and thought about it. If I really went out with a girl, I would definitely choose to go out at home.

Zaimokuza had no objection to this, and he was even analyzing Hachiman's thoughts.

He nodded constantly as he spoke.

"I chose a ramen restaurant. On the one hand, it is a local traditional food. On the other hand, it makes me appear unconventional and leaves a deep impression on the other party. I see, it is worthy of being called Hachiman. It is really smart."

Even for me, I feel a little embarrassed to be praised by Zaimokuza like this.

“Well…I haven’t thought about it that much, ahaha.”

I touched my hair, trying to hide my shyness.

"Then there are the after-dinner entertainment activities. We have to choose - woooooooo"

Before Zaimokuza could finish his words, Totsuka covered his mouth with his hand and danced around like a struggling orange cat.

"Zaimokuza, asking so many questions to Hachiman is tiring. Besides, there's already someone waiting over there, right?"

I followed Totsuka's gaze and saw someone already standing there waiting for me.

"Yugahama."

After recognizing the dumpling girl, I said goodbye to the two of them and walked towards Yuigahama.

"Whoo~"

Totsuka waited until Hachiman left before letting go of his hand. Zaimokuza squatted on the ground and gasped as if he had been saved.

——That’s great. If this continues, Zaimokuza will probably never find a girlfriend in his lifetime.

"Zaimokuza, if your date goes through this time, you have to thank Yuigahama-san."

"what?"

After solving Zaimokuza's 'little trouble', I followed Yuigahama and continued walking behind the campus.

——Does it seem to be very useful, Zaimokuza? Do you want me to run a relationship counseling class in the future? It seems that I have a talent.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth.

"Xiaoqi?"

Hachiman suddenly started laughing, leaving Yuigahama wondering what was going on.

And she was very familiar with this smile; it was the disgusting smile that he unconsciously showed in class.

——You must have thought of something interesting.

Out of years of friendship, Yuigahama did not reveal the truth about Hachiman's smile.

"Huh? Wha...what?"

Oops, I was so absorbed in thinking about Zaimokuza just now that I didn't hear what Yuigahama said.

I was a little flustered.

Unexpectedly, Yuigahama didn't care about this and just waved her hand with a smile on her face.

"It doesn't matter. I just came out to relax today."

——By the way, take a look at yourself now.

The second half of the sentence was silently hidden in Yuigahama's heart.

"That's good. I have PTSD now because of what they did to me."

Maybe it's because Yuigahama didn't say anything like them, so I'm in a very relaxed state now.

After all, even if you just listen to others carefully, it is a very brain-consuming task.

"P...PTSD?"

Ms. Yuigahama almost bit her tongue.

"PTSD, commonly known as post-traumatic stress disorder, is a psychological illness."

I patiently explained to Yuigahama.

Even after all these years, Yuigahama still looks goofy.

"Hehe~ I don't really understand. Xiaoqi is really amazing. He knows so much knowledge when he is still in high school."

"Well, if you read a lot of books, you will naturally know a lot of things that are useless. There is nothing to be surprised about."

"That's pretty impressive, too. Back then, a lot of things gave me a headache just looking at them."

"That's probably why you don't read books at all."

"Hehe~"

Yuigahama and I walked at the back of the school. The teaching building was already empty, and now since it was the weekend, there was no one else except the two of us.

Inadvertently, I looked at Yuigahama beside me.

Emm

It's a wonder she could fit into it. This school uniform should be the one she wore ten years ago. It's obviously tighter in some places.

The blazer-style school uniform top makes Yuigahama's already good figure even more eye-catching.

Speaking of school uniforms, the people in front were also wearing Sobu High School uniforms, but their figures didn't seem to have changed that much, ah, except for Zaimokuza.

The guy was wearing his school uniform with his chest open, but it was already so tight that he couldn't bear it.

"Ok?"

As she was walking, Yuigahama suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

I felt a sense of panic when I saw her take a half step back.

I hope this guy is going to put on a thank you show like the previous ones. Goodbye, so shy.

"Yuigahama, you won't..."

It was clearly summer, but above our heads, petals of unknown kinds were blown up by the wind and then slowly fell.

Yuigahama just stood there quietly.

I also stopped and looked back. She didn't seem to have any intention of following me or speaking.

But as a friend, I have to find out what she is going to do.

"If there is something, there is no need to hide it."

Just as she looked at me quietly, I also looked at her quietly.

Waiting for her to speak.

Yuigahama closed her eyes and thought for a few seconds before she smiled and shook her head.

"I have nothing more to say. I have already said everything I wanted to say."

"Really? Did you say it clearly?"

"Ah."

"That's good."

Yuigahama Yui had already said what she wanted to say to Hikigaya Hachiman several years ago, so there was no need to repeat what had already been said.

"Go quickly, there is someone waiting for you."

Yuigahama urged Hachiman to go over quickly.

The afternoon sun has slowly slipped away and turned into the setting sun at dusk.

Time is running out.

"what."

Needless to say, I know who that last person is.

I knew where she was without asking.

The physical fatigue was becoming more and more obvious, but even so, I still cheered myself up and went to that place at this moment.

Yuigahama looked at Hachiman's departing back and smiled with relief.
