Chapter 273: Significant Progress in the Relationship Between Hachiman and Yukino

"Give up, no matter how much money you offer, I won't sell my body."

Seeing her reaction, Hachiman smirked, finding girls' thought processes quite peculiar.

"You're overthinking. I'm just helping you out as classmates, and, after all, it's also to fulfill our Service Club's request."

Understood, you're a money-wielder.

Seeing Hachiman's demeanor, Saki realized her misunderstanding, and her tense posture relaxed.

"Okay, thanks for that. If the scholarship isn't enough later, I'll rely on you."

"Yeah, if you have any issues, feel free to come to the Service Club and find me," Hachiman said with a smile.

"I will," the girl nodded.

Seeing the two like this, Yukino felt a bit displeased.

I'm supposed to be the president of the Service Club. How did Hachiman become the main figure in this?

However, she wouldn't utter any dampening words at a time like this.

"Well then, Kawasaki-san, we'll head back for today. You should also go home and rest early."

"This time, I really appreciate your help!" Saki bowed slightly in gratitude.

"It's nothing. After all, we accepted your brother's request, so we'll see it through to the end," Yukino nodded calmly. She stood up, and along with Hachiman, left the place.

Now that the matter was resolved, it was time to leave, especially since it was already past ten in the evening, and they had school tomorrow.

As they walked out of the hotel, Yui stretched with a big yawn, a happy smile on her face.

"Great, we've solved another request together."

Hearing this, Hachiman rolled his eyes.

You, silly Yui, didn't really contribute much. You only know how to be cute, and your ideas are often unreliable.

"It's getting late today. Let's go back and rest quickly."

Saying that, he hailed a taxi, and the three of them got in.

Although Japan nighttime taxis were frighteningly expensive, Hachiman and Yukino didn't care much about the cost.

The Yuigahama residence.

"Hikki, Yukinon, see you tomorrow!"

After getting out of the car, Yui waved to Hachiman and Yukino and then turned to enter her house.

After dropping off Yui at her home, the two continued in the taxi towards Yukino's apartment. During the ride, neither of them spoke. Upon reaching Yukino's apartment building, Hachiman stepped out of the cab.

Breaking the silence, Hachiman addressed the quiet girl, "You don't have to be bothered by what Kawasaki-san said. You're already making an effort to change, aren't you?"

Hearing Hachiman's words, Yukino lifted her head, but her expression remained somewhat dim.

"I am trying to change, but my individual efforts are too weak."

It was true; compared to the entire Yukinoshita family, the girl's personal strength seemed too fragile. Even during the recent workplace visit, she wouldn't have been able to resist the family's decision without Hachiman's help.

And through the incident involving Saki Kawasaki, she understood a lesson.

Everything she enjoyed now was provided by the Yukinoshita family. Leaving the family, she might truly become someone with nothing.

Seemingly aware of the girl's thoughts, Hachiman smiled faintly.

"I understand your concerns, Yukino. That's why I think your first step should be to be able to support yourself."

"Support myself? Are you suggesting I should work and earn money like Kawasaki?" Yukino asked.

"There are many ways to earn money, not just through working," Hachiman shook his head.

"You really like cats, don't you?" Bringing up this topic, Hachiman reminded Yukino of the previous scene where he overheard her "meowing," causing a slight blush to appear on her face.

"Ye...Yes."

"So, you must be well-versed in all sorts of cat knowledge," Hachiman continued.

"Of course, whether it's feeding cats at different stages or care, I know it like the back of my hand," Yukino confidently shared her knowledge about cats.

"No wonder you're like an encyclopedia for cats."

Seeing the girl's confident demeanor, Hachiman smiled.

"Hmph, I'll admit to that title."

She didn't refute the title and gave a slight hum of acknowledgment.

"But what does my love for cats have to do with making money?"

"Naturally, there can be a connection. For example, Yukino, you could create a website about cat knowledge, answering queries for cat owners. On the site, you could also feature cat food and care products, and you could recommend purchases based on different types of cats."

Upon hearing Hachiman's idea, Yukino's eyes lit up. The concept of helping other cat owners while making money aligned perfectly with her preferences.

"Can this really work? But I don't understand how to create a website."

"Don't worry, I'll help you with that. I'm 'somewhat knowledgeable' in website development," Hachiman smiled slightly.

Well, somewhat knowledgeable, referring to the level five proficiency in the [Computer] module.

"Once the website gains some popularity, I believe it won't be a problem to sustain yourself."

"Thank you, Hachiman."

The girl's eyes carried a hint of amusement, but then her gaze dimmed as she thought of something.

"Even if I can support myself, there's still my mother..."

Even if she becomes independent, her mother won't likely let her go easily. She might forcibly bring her back.

Seeing Yukino in this state, Hachiman felt a pang of empathy. He instinctively reached out, gently touching her face.

"Don't worry, Yukino. If that day ever comes, believe me, I will definitely come to rescue you!"

Feeling the warmth of his hand on her face, Yukino was momentarily stunned.

"Hachiman, you..."

From elementary school until now, she never had too close contact with the opposite sex. Today, being touched so directly by Hachiman made her heartbeat accelerate, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Who... who asked you to save me?"

Yukino muttered softly, then blushing, she ran into the apartment building.

Seeing her flee like that, Hachiman shook his head with a somewhat amused expression.

Unexpectedly, the girl had a tsundere side.

Watching her disappear, Hachiman turned and got into the taxi, heading towards his own home.

However, shortly after he boarded, the apartment door opened again, revealing Yukino walking out.

Gazing at the fading taillights of the taxi, Yukino, one hand over her chest, felt her still-racing heartbeat. A beautiful smile graced her face.

This feeling of being cared for doesn't seem bad.

As the taxi vanished from sight, Yukino reentered the apartment building.


Kapitel 274: [274] Hachiman, the Temporary Boyfriend

Chapter 274: Hachiman, the Temporary Boyfriend

Saturday, around 7:30 in the morning.

Hachiman, synchronized with his internal clock, opened his slightly drowsy eyes. Getting up, he left the bed, drew the curtains, opened the window – a sequence of movements.

Standing by the window, Hachiman stretched lazily, gazing outside. The pale blue sky was immaculately pure, free from any impurities, its subtle hue stretching across the entire expanse.

Sunlight streamed in, accompanied by a gentle breeze carrying the scent of fresh grass and a hint of flowers.

Often, weather could significantly impact one's mood. At this moment, Hachiman felt quite content. Soon, he discovered another reason to be pleased.

The [Kendo] module had reached its maximum level.

As one of the modules initially loaded, the [Kendo] module had finally achieved perfection today.

He wondered what the full-level Swordsmanship could accomplish.

Excitement welled up within him at the thought.

Approaching the bookshelf in his room, Hachiman retrieved a sword from the top shelf. Not a wooden practice sword, but a genuine katana.

This sword was crafted specifically for him by the master swordsmith Muramasa, after he achieved the rank of Sword Master and received certification from the Japan Swordsmanship Association.

When he first received this sword, Hachiman felt a sense of accomplishment. After all, it symbolized the pinnacle of the Kendo, representing the strongest few. Unfortunately, the novelty wore off quickly, and he forgot about this sword.

Today, with the [Kendo] module reaching its maximum level, Hachiman picked up the sword after a long time.

Holding Enma, he went to his backyard, a small open space perfect for testing if the Kendo reaching its maximum level brought any changes.

Gripping Enma, Hachiman took a deep breath. The sword moved with his will as he swung it towards the wall in the backyard, even though it didn't make contact, visible marks of the blade appeared on the wall.

Seeing this scene, Hachiman raised an eyebrow.

This is... Sword Aura!

Not bad. Is this the new ability at the Sword Saint level?

The Sword Master level allowed the attachment of faint Sword Aura to the blade for an effective iron-cutting ability. The Sword Saint level, on the other hand, could release Sword Aura to harm opponents from a distance.

Interesting...

Hachiman couldn't help but feel playful, swinging the sword a few more times and leaving more marks on the wall.

Through experimentation, he found that the attack range of this invisible Sword Aura was approximately five meters. It served as a decent ranged method. Moreover, he discovered that not only could Sword Aura be unleashed through the blade, but even a simple branch could produce the same effect.

This sensation was really good.

Unfortunately, this is just an everyday world. Even reaching the Sword Saint level doesn't have much practical use here. At most, it adds a bit more self-defense capability.

After testing the new ability, Hachiman returned to his room, placed Enma back on the shelf, and after freshening up, he headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Soon, Komachi also woke up.

"Good morning, Onii-chan." Yawning, Komachi descended from the second floor.

"Good morning, Komachi." Hachiman smiled.

"Freshen up first, breakfast will be ready soon."

"Okay." Komachi nodded and entered the bathroom.

"I'm starting—!"

The customary pre-meal announcement echoed, and Hachiman and Komachi began their breakfast.

Today, Hachiman prepared a traditional Japanese breakfast: rice, miso soup, thick tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), and some pickled vegetables.

"Onii-chan, do you have any plans for today?" Eating breakfast, Komachi looked up at Hachiman.

"Today, I'm going to help Sensei with something." Swallowing a mouthful of rice, Hachiman smiled as he spoke.

Today is the day when Shizuka's cousin gets married. According to the agreement, he naturally has to help Shizuka deal with her parents.

"Hmm? Shizuka-nee, does she need your help with something?" Hearing that Hachiman was going to help Shizuka, Komachi couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

"Just some personal matters." Hachiman smiled, but he didn't specify what it was.

"I might come back a bit late today, so I'll leave the house to you."

Hearing his words, Komachi assured him by patting her chest: "No problem, leave it to Komachi."

"As long as Onii-chan leaves me enough allowance."

At the end of her statement, Komachi's eyes seemed to turn into the shape of money.

Seeing her money-loving expression, Hachiman shook his head with some amusement.

However, since she was his own sister, he certainly wouldn't mistreat her.

After breakfast, Hachiman left behind ¥20,000 as spending money and walked out the door.

Just as he stepped out, he noticed a familiar sports car parked not far from his house.

It was Shizuka's Aston Martin.

"Hey, Shizu, I'm here." Approaching the car, Hachiman greeted Shizuka, who was sitting in the driver's seat.

Hearing his address, Shizuka rolled her eyes and didn't bother to argue.

"Get in, you brat."

Today, Shizuka wasn't wearing her usual white windbreaker. Instead, she had on a black long-sleeved dress. Her legs were clad in flesh-colored stockings, reflecting a delicate sheen in the sunlight. Perhaps because she was going to drive, she didn't wear high heels today but opted for a pair of flat loafers.

Her face adorned with subtle makeup, she didn't display the usual tomboyish demeanor. Instead, she exuded a hint of charming allure.

"Shall we set off?" Sitting in the passenger seat, Hachiman asked.

"Let's go buy some gifts first. After all, it's my cousin's wedding today, and I can't go empty-handed." Shizuka shook her head and then glanced at Hachiman's current attire.

"I also need to help you pick out some clothes. You know, today you're going to pretend to be my boyfriend, even if it's temporary. You can't look like this. My parents will see through it at a glance."

"Alright, I'll follow your lead." Hachiman nodded without objection.

As the engine roared to life, the seasoned driver Shizuka set off once again.

Not long after, the two arrived at a large shopping mall.

Exiting the car, Shizuka decided to buy a set of clothes for Hachiman first.

Entering a clothing store and guided by a salesperson's recommendations, Hachiman was soon dressed in a suit.

Observing Hachiman in his new attire, Shizuka rubbed her chin and then shook her head.

"Feels like something's missing... got it."

She picked up a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and placed them on Hachiman's face, nodding in approval.

"Yeah, that's it."
