There is no system for the anime, so I have to work hard on my own.

Japan.

Chiba Prefecture.

At the Hikigaya residence, our adorable little sister, Hikigaya Komachi, is lying on the sofa, her toes gently swinging in the air.

"Onii-chan, who were you contacting just now?"

She rested her chin on her hands, the tuft of hair on her head swaying gently with her movements, as she curiously looked at her good-for-nothing brother.

Hachiman Hikigaya coughed lightly and subtly put his phone back in his pocket: "Children shouldn't pry into adult matters."

Upon hearing this, Komachi Hikigaya's cheeks puffed up instantly, and she said, enunciating each word clearly, "Hmph, I'm not a child anymore!"

"Now, I'm in my final year of junior high, okay!"

Hachiman Hikigaya replied perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, our Komachi is already in the third year of junior high school, she's a big kid now, it's all my fault."

"Is this alright now?"

Hearing this, Komachi Hikigaya rolled her eyes and clicked her tongue, "Brother, that's so perfunctory..."

Hikigaya pointed to his eyes and denied it in a serious tone: "How could I possibly be perfunctory with cute Komachi? If you don't believe me, look at my sincere eyes."

Hikigaya Komachi curled her lip and said disdainfully, "With your wise eyes, brother, there's no way you could see sincerity!"

Upon hearing this, Hachiman felt as if he had been shot in the chest, staggering back a step with disbelief on his face.

That look seemed to say—

My sister would never say such hurtful things!

It's all fake! It's all fake!

Sure enough, the damn three-dimensional world is not beautiful at all!

Seeing his distraught appearance, a bead of cold sweat slowly seeped from Hikigaya Komachi's forehead, accompanied by a sense of helplessness.

Even though she managed to win over someone as amazing as Yukino-nee and make her her girlfriend, she broke down so easily. How embarrassing!

If I let Yukino go because of this, wouldn't I have to worry about my brother's happiness again? That won't do!

Komachi will protect her brother's happiness!

Her thoughts drifted off somewhere, but in reality, a fire gradually ignited in Komachi Hikigaya's eyes.

She jumped up from the sofa with a thud, raised her hands, and shouted aggressively, "Hachiman Hikigaya, what are you doing? Have you forgotten your dream?!"

"Aren't you a beast that wants to be a lone wolf?!"

"Look at the state you're in now, you don't look like you've suffered at all."

"Huh?! Get your act together already!!"

These words, like a demonic whisper, directly entered Hachiman Hikigaya's ears, pulling him back from his despair.

Strangely, he didn't feel anything; instead, his dull, lifeless eyes became even dimmer.

hehe....

Haha....Hahaha......

Hahahahahahahahahaha...

Why, why does Komachi know all this?

That damned essay, wasn't it already dealt with?

At the same time, the deathly stillness in his eyes spread, and the colors on his body gradually faded away with this flowing stillness.

In the end, only a gray clay sculpture remained in the original location.

Hikigaya Komachi panicked when she saw him like this. Why did her brother suddenly turn into a stone statue?

"Click——"

An invisible voice gently washed over Komachi Hikigaya's heart, stirring up ripples of worry.

Hachiman Hikigaya, he suddenly shattered!

"Ehehehehe——"

Hikigaya Komachi emitted a sharp, explosive sound.

"how so?!!"

She quickly reached out to grab it, but grabbed nothing.

Instead, because of the excessive movement, I lost my balance and fell off the sofa. Is this the end of my life?

Obviously...

I've never been in a relationship before...

Thinking about it, she closed her eyes reluctantly.

His fists were clenched tightly.

If only I could find a boyfriend as handsome as Yu-sheng sooner... No, I can't give up, my brother is still waiting for me...

We can't leave him alone!

What will happen to his happiness if I'm gone?

Suddenly, she felt light.

"Are you okay?"

Hikigaya helped her up, his eyes full of concern.

After checking her over and finding no signs of injury, he breathed a sigh of relief: "How could you be so careless..."

The words, which should have been reproachful, carried no hint of blame; instead, they revealed a subtle tension.

Komachi Hikigaya blinked and tapped her head lightly: "Hehe~"

Seeing this, Hachiman was completely relieved.

At least he still has the energy to act silly~

However, while we are concerned, we must also impose penalties.

Hachiman raised a finger and lightly flicked Komachi's head: "Be careful next time."

Hikigaya Komachi covered her forehead and smiled foolishly.

"I understand, Onii-chan~"

Seeing how adorable she was, Hikigaya's heart pounded so hard he almost couldn't resist calling Yoru Ue.

Tell him—

Look closely, I'm Komachi's older brother!

Remember, I am the one!!!

Hehehe~

My little Machi is definitely the cutest!

suddenly......

"Brother, your smile is disgusting." The girl's slightly disgusted voice instantly pulled Hachiman back from his reverie.

Is it really that disgusting?

Hikigaya's voice trembled, his eyes filled with grief.

The girl didn't hold back her words because of his appearance; instead, she nodded vigorously without hesitation: "It's disgusting!"

"Pfft-"

It was the sound of an arrow piercing the heart.

At the same time, it was also the sound of blood spitting out.

Hikigaya shakily got up from the ground, a forced and ingratiating smile on his face, but when he thought of his sister's words, he tried hard to suppress the smile.

"Then, then brother won't laugh anymore..."

Komachi Hikigaya nodded, then continued, "It's even more disgusting now."

"Puff puff puff——"

The penetrating wound in the chest expanded several times over.

Even more blood was vomited onto the ground!

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"Go open the door!" Komachi Hikigaya ordered. Hikigaya nodded and walked toward the door like a zombie.

The moment the door opened, a beautiful, almost unreal face came straight into Hachiman's eyes.

"How, how is it?"

That icy face now held a hint of shyness, instantly revitalizing Hachiman's wounded heart.

"So cute!"

He spared no praise.

The girl's lips curled up almost imperceptibly, then returned to normal, and she said matter-of-factly, "After all, it's me."

Hachiman nodded in agreement: "After all, it's you!"

Visibly, the girl's eyes brightened, and her adorable ears gained a touch of red from the boy's praise.

She coughed lightly: "Where to?"

Meeting the girl's expectant gaze, Hachiman's face felt as if it had been branded with a hot iron. His usual quick wit vanished without a trace, and he stammered, "I'll... I'll listen to you..."

Behind her, Komachi Hikigaya kept shaking her head. She was usually so smart, so why was she useless at the crucial moment?

What a useless guy, Onii-chan!
