After Boqi moved into my closet, the quiet life is gone forever

Hikigaya laughed strangely

"Hey... I can say as many words as I want to avoid doing something I hate."

"But isn't your reasoning a bit problematic? If I'm really more useful as you say, wouldn't I be able to help more if I stayed on the scene?"

Hikigaya scratched his head. He couldn't deny what Hayama said.

Although he doesn't mind being thick-skinned, being stubborn in this situation will make him look like a clown.

"Um…"

"To avoid misunderstandings, I need to make one thing clear. I'm not asking you to go because I think you're incompetent. Quite the opposite. A few days ago, you single-handedly took on all the work for the groceries team. I don't think anyone has the right to say you're incompetent. ...So, what are you going to do?"

After affirming Hikigaya's achievements, Hayama confirmed with him again what to do next.

Hikigaya lowered his head and clenched his teeth.

"This is what's so annoying about Ye Shan... He clearly has no interest in me, but he still forces himself on someone like me who's a marginal figure. Haha... I'm afraid there's really no way I can win him over..."

"I'll go... No matter what, everyone needs you... the most outstanding Hayato Hayama."

"Actually, I don't mind hearing people say that kind of thing... provided they really believe it. ... Then I'll leave it to you. Say hello to Yukinoshita for me. Well, forget it. Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Yeshan patted Hikigaya's shoulder as if entrusting him with an important task.

But Hikigaya looked at Hayama's smile before he turned around, with a hint of helplessness.

Come to think of it, someone like Ye Shan who is both capable and gentle is actually the one who has no choice... Because he is capable, everyone around him has expectations of him, and because he is gentle, he has to respond to all expectations. So he can only follow the path that everyone wants him to take... Hey~ Serves him right~ This is the end of the real person.

After Hikigaya saw that Hayama was bearing the cruel truth, he walked towards the seat where Mr. Hiratsuka was sitting with joy in his heart.

"...That's about it. I'll go visit Yukinoshita on behalf of the Executive Committee."

Before leaving, Hikigaya reported to Mr. Hiratsuka to see if he could get Yukinoshita's home address.

"I should have asked Ye Shan... But I just laughed at him and now I'm going back to him. I feel doubly incompetent."

"...That's fine, go ahead. But as a teacher, I can't reveal my students' personal information... so..."

"Tsk, is that so?... Well, I guessed it, but I have a backup plan anyway... Then I'll sue first... Can I ask... why didn't that person come today?"

"Huh? Who? Oh, you mean Pingshi, right? Who knows... I called his house, but no one answered. I hope he's not out causing trouble."

92. The big devil is here to disrupt things...

"Hmm... I really can't like Japanese ramen..."

After coming out of Yukinoshita's luxury apartment, Chaoyang randomly found a Hakata Furyu ramen restaurant nearby and had dinner even though it was not yet 5 o'clock.

It’s not that he likes noodles, but there are no restaurants nearby.

The only advantage of this ramen restaurant is that you can get two refills, which is very affordable considering that I haven't eaten Chaoyang for almost a day.

[Why is it called ramen when it's clearly machine-made noodles... This meat is clearly cooked, so why is it called chashu pork... I really can't stand Japanese people...]

I don't know if it's because he came to the world of Oregairu, but Chaoyang is unexpectedly having a lot of inner drama now. He eats ramen while enjoying himself and complaining in his heart.

"Speaking of which, I wonder if there's Lanzhou beef noodles in Japan in this world. I still prefer hand-pulled noodles... I'll go to Ikebukuro next time... But I'm broke, and I don't feel comfortable constantly asking Yukinoshita for money. ...I might find a job, but if I can use that gun before I get paid, I'll be at a loss."

Considering that it ended in vain, Chaoyang's bowl of noodles was empty.

When he realized that he couldn't pick up the noodles with his chopsticks, he immediately shouted to the turbaned clerk at the counter.

"Sorry, the dough needs to be firmer."

“Okay, wait a moment”…

"belch"

By the time Chaoyang came out of the store burping, it was already dusk.

It's almost time to go home... I should make porridge for Yukinoshita. I wonder if she has any pickled vegetables or anything like that at home. ... Speaking of porridge, I suddenly want salted duck eggs... I'll go to the Chinese Food Store and buy some in a few days.

Chaoyang has nothing else to do in this world except waiting for the opportunity to return, so he has basically entered the retirement life early and can't stop talking about food.

[Speaking of which, before returning to the original world, should I meet Isshiki Iroha? After all, she was my favorite before.]

Of course, after eating, one will also have sexual thoughts.

After a while, he walked back to the luxury apartment where Yukinoshita lived.

"Ah... I didn't bring the key to unlock the entrance... I didn't lock the door when I went out, but even if I waited for someone to open the door and sneak in, it would be useless. Speaking of which, this high-end apartment is really troublesome. There are two levels of entrance, and the elevator can't go up without the owner's permission... Yukinoshita should still be sleeping now. I don't want to wake her up with the intercom... I feel like she'll talk for a long time because she's lost everything. Forget it, it's just a good time to exercise after dinner to digest."

After mumbling to himself, Chaoyang stretched his arms and legs, getting ready for exercise. Then he walked out of the apartment hall again.

……

"Why, why are you calling me suddenly?"

Yuigahama's panicked voice came from Hikigaya's phone.

"Did you know Yukinoshita didn't come today?"

"Huh? Xiaoxue didn't come today!? What happened?"

"Well, she's fallen ill."

Hikigaya instantly felt the tension coming from the other end of the line.

"I know, I know. I'll go to her house right away! Yumiko, I'm sorry, I have to go back first because of an emergency!"

Yuigahama was so anxious that she forgot to hang up the phone and asked for leave directly from Miura.

"Yuigahama...don't hang up yet, I want to go too. Let's meet at the school gate."

After the two met, Yuigahama Yui took Hikigaya to Yukinoshita's residence.

The two of them had their own thoughts and hardly talked on the way.

Yuigahama was worried about Yukinoshita.

Normally, it is not uncommon for people to get sick, but in Yuigahama's impression, Yukinoshita lives alone. If she gets seriously ill and is so sick that she can't get up and go to the hospital, that would be terrible.

"I called her, but her phone was turned off for some reason. I also sent a text message to Xiaoxue, but she hasn't replied yet..."

"Don't worry, you'll know when you get there..."

Hikigaya wasn't as worried as Yuigahama, but the lack of any response was indeed a little concerning.

In fact, this was mainly Chaoyang's fault. He was afraid that the phone would disturb Xueshita, so he turned off her phone after she finished the call.

Soon the two of them arrived at the high-end apartment building where Yukinoshita lived.

"Wow... This might be the first and last time I ever step into such a luxurious apartment... Who knows? If I become a corporate slave in the future, I might even visit a place like this to visit my boss or clients."

While Hikigaya was still sighing, Yuigahama couldn't wait to press the intercom and enter the room number of Yukinoshita's house.

But no one answered.

"Maybe he went to the hospital."

Hikigaya, on the other hand, thought in a very optimistic way.

"That's fine, but I'm afraid..."

Just before Yuigahama said that he was in the most serious situation.

The intercom finally made a rustling noise.

"Haha... You forgot to bring your keys when you went out to eat... Hmm? Yuigahama-san, why are you here?"

Under the snow at home, her physical condition had improved a lot. When she was awakened by the prompt tone from the intercom, she wondered if Chaoyang had forgotten to bring his keys.

After checking to make sure none was missing, he turned on the intercom and prepared to start a fight. However, he realized through the camera that the person coming was not Chaoyang, but his friend Yuigahama Yui. He slammed the brakes on his lips, but it was a little too late.

[…Yukinoshita doesn't actually live alone, does she? She sounded like she was talking to someone she lived with…Yukinoshita's older sister? No, she never spoke to her own sister in that tone.]

"I came here because I heard you were sick..."

"I... Is there anyone else with you, Yuigahama-san?"

Yukinoshita originally wanted to persuade her to go back, but at this time she remembered the plot she had seen before, that Yuigahama came with another person, so she asked in advance.

Yukinoshita is a bit too perceptive. I didn't intend to hide from her, but the intercom camera shouldn't be able to see me from where I'm standing. She sensed it, so she knows how to use the circle, right?

Hikigaya complained inwardly as he stepped forward and showed his face.

"I was asked by Xun-senpai and Ye Shan to check on you. If you're okay, I can go back."

Since most of the problems of the Executive Committee had been resolved and Yukinoshita was not overwhelmed by work, Hikigaya's visit this time was really just a visit and he didn't plan to do anything, so he just said a few words and planned to leave.

"Really? Do you think this counts as visiting?"

Yukinoshita didn't mind inviting them up to sit down. She was no longer the same person she used to be, and she didn't intend to deliberately reject other people's kindness and friendliness.

But if Chaoyang comes back, the fact that they are living together will be exposed, which she doesn't want...

So she had no choice but to drive away the two companions in the service department against her will.

"I'm fine now, but it's a little inconvenient today..."

"Ah~~ How can you let a friend come to visit without even offering him a cup of tea? This is not the way we, the Yukinoshita family, treat our guests~"

Suddenly, just when the two of them had sensed Yukinoshita's intention to send them away, an unexpected person appeared.

Yukinoshita Haruno's voice suddenly appeared behind the two of them.

"Really? Yukino didn't even tell her family that she was sick. If Yeshan hadn't called me, my whole family would have been kept in the dark. If he had told me earlier, I would have skipped college classes to take care of my lovely sister~~"

“Sister…sister…”

Yukinoshita's unexpected mutterings came through the intercom.

"...No, I remember my sister wasn't coming today... Is it because of the chain reaction after that guy changed the plot? There's nothing I can do but leave it to fate. My sister must have the key to this house given by our family. Given her personality, she would definitely bring them both up here forcefully. She probably thinks she's buried some thoughts about Hikigaya and Yuigahama for me, so she's trying to force them out and push them forward. ...It's really troublesome that this is the right time... I'm too attached to what I saw in my previous world, I really treat this world like a script. This is reality for me, there's no so-called predetermined plot."

Having regained her composure, Yukinoshita left the intercom near the entrance and began to clear Chaoyang's traces. Of course, she was also prepared for being discovered. In her heart, Yukinoshita actually expected this outcome. After completing the transformation of her state of mind in another world, she no longer had the intention of playing the role of a perfect goddess. However, before facing herself honestly, she wanted to help Hikigaya break free from the constraints imposed by her own heart and identify and clarify the object of her desire. However, Yukinoshita didn't want this object to be herself this time, because her heart was already occupied by another object of desire...

【Maybe this is a good opportunity...】

This thought suddenly popped up in Yukinoshita's mind as she sat on the sofa.

And Haruno had already pulled Hikigaya and Yuigahama into the elevator.

"The last time Yukino's friends came to visit us was probably in elementary school~~Would you like to have dinner together later~But Yukino's life is pretty boring, so I guess they don't have anything delicious prepared at home."

93. Um… I actually went to the wrong door…

"Ah~~Sister is here to see you~~Ah~~Please come in, just treat it like your own home~~"

Haruno, who brought Hikigaya and Yuigahama into the house, seemed to have the dual labels of guest and host.

"Haaa... Sister, at least knock on the door. I'm in charge of this room for now, so it's like my own room. Knocking on someone else's door is basic etiquette..."

Yukinoshita came up to me with a sigh and complained softly.

But Yang Noi ignored it.

"Are you okay? Xiaoxue..."

"It's nothing serious. I've taken some medicine and slept well for the day."

In response to Yuigahama's concern, Yukinoshita explained gently.

Then Yukinoshita turned to Hikigaya

"……Hello"

"Well, sorry to bother you..."

Yukinoshita had deliberately avoided contact with Hikigaya when she was on the executive committee, but this time there was no way to avoid it.

The reason for this is that he hasn't figured out how to break the fantasy self that Hikigaya is pursuing in his mind.

Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to prevent the birth of such a relationship before the three of them were completely addicted to the ambiguous three-person relationship.

When she was about to part with Chaoyang, she suddenly felt as she reviewed her life in a flash, that in her short life of more than ten years, she had not had a moment that truly belonged to her, so she chose to leave her own feelings when she thought she was about to say goodbye to Chaoyang.
