Chapter 298: Yui with the Dog Collar

Watching Yui stare at him intently, Hachiman felt a bit puzzled.

"Yui, what are you looking at me for?"

"Um..."

Hearing his words, the girl pouted a bit unhappily.

"Where's your gift, Hikki?"

She really had to remind him, that cheeky little Hachiman.

"As for the gift, rest assured, I've prepared one for you." Saying this, Hachiman took out his gift.

Seeing him take out the gift, Yui quickly switched to a smiling face.

"Hehe, thank you, Hikki."

Taking the gift, the girl expressed her gratitude.

At this moment, a mischievous smile appeared on Hachiman's face. "You're welcome. Hurry up and open it."

Unfortunately, Yui didn't notice the sly expression and happily unwrapped the gift.

Inside the box lay an exquisite collar.

"What a beautiful collar! Can I try it on?" the girl asked joyfully.

"Of course," Hachiman said with a grin, fully expecting this outcome.

Seeing Yui wanting to put the collar around her neck, Yukino hurriedly tried to intervene.

"Eh? Yui, wait..."

But before she could finish her sentence, Yui had already put the collar around her neck and was asking for opinions from both of them.

"How is it? Does it look good? Yukinon, Hikki?"

"Hahaha."

This time, Hachiman couldn't hold back, bursting into laughter, and Yukino couldn't help but cover her face.

Seeing Hachiman suddenly burst into laughter, Yui couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"What's wrong? Hikki, did I wear it wrong?"

"Haha, Yui, do you know what this is?" Hachiman couldn't help but chuckle.

"Isn't it just a decorative collar for the neck?" the girl asked innocently.

At this juncture, Yukino couldn't tolerate it any longer and felt compelled to interject, "Indeed, it is a collar, but it's a dog collar."

"A dog collar?!"

Yui was taken aback, her face shifting from surprise to an embarrassed scowl directed at Hachiman, who was still chuckling.

"Hikki, you actually tricked me into wearing a dog collar."

"I didn't trick you."

Hachiman ceased laughing, innocently spreading his hands.

"I never said it was for humans to wear; you didn't even ask and just put it on."

Upon hearing this, Yui was dumbfounded, realizing it was true—she indeed put it on without asking.

Unable to find a good reason, Yui could only come up with a weak excuse, "I... I was just trying it on for Sable to see if it's comfortable."

"How comfortable is it then?" Hachiman grinned mischievously.

"Ugh... you cheeky Hikki, I challenge you!"

Unexpectedly, he dared to mock her, and Yui couldn't take it anymore, directly pouncing on him.

Seeing this scene, Yukino quickly intervened.

"Yui, don't do that. Be careful, this guy might take advantage of you."

Hearing Yukino's words, Yui blushed and moved away from Hachiman. She subconsciously thought that they were alone.

Seeing the two separate again, Yukino breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, seeing them close together just now made her feel uncomfortable deep down.

As Hachiman teased, "Hey, hey, am I really that kind of person in your eyes?" the girl shot him a disdainful look, then turned around to reveal another box.

"To celebrate Yui's birthday, I specially baked a cake."

Opening the box, Yui's eyes sparkled at the intricately designed small cake.

"Wow, a cake baked by Yukinon herself. Thank you."

"It's nothing. Although it can't compare to Hachiman's skills."

Feeling a bit disheartened that her culinary skills couldn't match a guy's, Yukino sighed.

"It's okay; cooking, and anything else, just improves with practice," Hachiman comforted.

"Besides, your cooking is already better than Yui's."

Unhappy to hear him say her cooking was worse, Yui pouted.

Though her culinary skills had improved somewhat compared to the original story, they were still at an average level. Compared to Yukino, she still had a long way to go, not to mention Hachiman.

Yukino chimed in to comfort her, "As Hachiman said, cooking just requires more practice."

"Yeah, I'll definitely practice cooking while wearing the apron you gave me, Yukinon." Yui nodded vigorously.

Hearing her words, Yukino's face softened into a gentle smile.

"Come on, let's have some cake."

"Sure."

....

....

Time marched on, and soon June came to an end.

Today marked the day for Hachiman to face off against Erina in a culinary showdown.

"The winner is Hachiman Hikigaya," declared Senzaemon, and as expected, Hachiman emerged victorious.

After the customary exchange of culinary skills with the girls, Hachiman found himself once again in Senzaemon's study.

Seated, Senzaemon chuckled, "I wonder what kind of collaboration you have in mind this time, young Hachiman."

"I'd like to discuss another collaboration with you," Hachiman smiled and nodded.

"Collaboration?" Senzaemon raised an eyebrow.

"I'm curious about the details of this collaboration you're proposing."

Given the success of their previous collaboration with the restaurant, Senzaemon was intrigued by Hachiman's new idea.

"Lately, I've been considering making an investment. I wonder if you'd be interested, sir," Hachiman revealed his intention.

"Investment?"

This took Senzaemon by surprise, as investing was a serious matter with the potential for significant risks.

"Yes, an investment," Hachiman affirmed.

"Have you heard of a company called Facebook?"

Recalling developments from his past life, Hachiman saw the rapid rise of Facebook in recent years, presenting a promising investment opportunity.

"Facebook? I recall it's an emerging internet company from the United States," Senzaemon said, stroking his chin.

As the head of the Totsuki Corporation, a massive conglomerate, staying informed about cutting-edge information was part of his role.

"Yes, based on the information I've gathered, Facebook is gearing up for an initial public offering (IPO)," Hachiman stated with a faint smile.

"And considering the data from the past two years, Facebook is on the verge of rapid growth, making it an excellent investment opportunity."

"I'm curious, young Hachiman, how much money are you planning to invest?" Senzaemon inquired.

"All of my current savings, totaling 16 billion yen."


Chapitre 299: [299] Investment

Chapter 299: Investment

"All of it?"

Now Senzaemon was genuinely surprised. His surprise wasn't about the amount Hachiman mentioned – over 100 billion yen was inconsequential for an international giant like Totsuki Corporation. What astonished him was the audacity displayed by Hachiman.

Investing all of his current savings was nothing short of a gamble. If he lost, the consequences would be evident.

It was hard to imagine such boldness coming from a teenager of sixteen or seventeen.

"Haha, good! Young Hachiman truly lives up to my expectations. I appreciate this audacity," Senzaemon laughed heartily.

To this, Hachiman just smiled faintly. "I wonder if you're interested in joining my investment plan."

Senzaemon was indeed interested. If Hachiman was willing to risk his entire savings, it meant he had conducted thorough research, as such a risk wouldn't be taken lightly.

Moreover, considering Hachiman's track record, there hadn't been a single failure.

Genius often brought delightful surprises, didn't it?

"Since Young Hachiman has invited me so generously, I'll join in."

Hearing Senzaemon's agreement, excitement flashed across Hachiman's face. "Great! I wonder how much you plan to invest."

"Like Young Hachiman, let's go with an investment of 16 billion yen."

Senzaemon was also giving face to Hachiman. While this amount might not be significant for a giant like Totsuki, it wasn't a sum to be spent recklessly. Rather than considering it as an investment in Facebook, it was more of an investment in Hachiman himself.

"With over 30 billion yen, roughly over 300 nillion dollars, if all goes well, we can secure around 20% of Facebook's shares," Hachiman pondered, stroking his chin.

"However, for added security, I'd like to borrow a trusted investment advisor from you."

"As you know, at my age, it's challenging to gain people's trust."

In reality, Hachiman was subtly exaggerating, as investing under the name of Totsuki would undoubtedly reduce many complications.

"Haha, fair point," Senzaemon laughed.

"How about this, Soue will be back in a few days. I'll have him accompany you. How does that sound?"

"Mr. Soue?"

Upon hearing the person mentioned by Senzaemon, Hachiman nodded with a smile.

"That's perfectly fine."

Soue Nakiri, dedicated to external contracts and negotiations, was indeed an excellent choice.

"Great, that's settled then. Soue will be back in the first week of summer vacation. I'll have him accompany you at that time," Senzaemon nodded.

Hachiman quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much."

"Haha, I hope your judgment is correct, Young Hachiman," Senzaemon laughed heartily.

A confident smile appeared on Hachiman's face.

"Don't worry; I won't let you down, Chief Nakiri."

...

Sobu High School.

At the classroom podium, Shizuka, the diligent and adorable class teacher, was explaining some things to pay attention to during the summer break, followed by the start of the new school year's time and requirements. Finally, she mentioned the names of a few students who needed to take makeup exams.

Those whose names were called out naturally emitted wails, as having to attend makeup classes and exams during the summer break was truly miserable.

Hachiman and his friends were, of course, not among those on the makeup exam list.

Hachiman, needless to say, consistently held the top academic position in the class, if not the entire school.

With his maxed-out "Study" module, even if he didn't pay much attention in class, he could still ace exams.

Yui, while appearing as an airhead, maintained average grades in the class.

Yukino, not to mention, was among the top-performing students.

Even after quitting her part-time job, Saki Kawasaki's grades returned to the upper tier of the class.

It's worth mentioning that the few peculiar individuals in the class also had quite good grades.

Vignette didn't need much explanation; despite being a demon, she was more of an angel, diligently taking notes in class and excelling in exams.

As for Gabriel, fallen she may be, but individuals couldn't be compared. Like an angel, despite appearing laid back in class, her intelligent mind allowed her to pass easily with a bit of effort before exams.

The most surprising was Satanichia McDowell Kurumizawa. This goofball usually acted like a fool, occasionally disrupting discipline with strange antics in class. For instance, in a history class, she brought out a biology textbook and asked questions about the male anatomy diagram, embarrassing poor Mafuyu.

Despite such antics, this fool managed to pass exams. This had to be heartbreaking for those students who attended classes regularly but still struggled to pass.

With the dismissal bell ringing, the morning classes came to an end.

Just as Hachiman was about to head for lunch, an unexpected person called out to him.

"Hachiman."

With meticulously styled short purple hair and a school uniform impeccably maintained, it was none other than the little devil Vignette.

Hachiman smiled, "Oh, Vigne. What's up?"

In his original plan, Vignette, along with Gabriel and the others, fell under the category of those requiring special attention, being an angel and a demon.

As planned, everything had gone smoothly. With over half a year of interaction and occasional feeding, Hachiman's relationship with them was quite good.

Especially with Gabriel, Hachiman occasionally lent her money for in-game purchases, and in return, she taught him some techniques involving holy light. The two found themselves in a subtle collaborative state.

As for his relationship with Vignette, they could be considered good friends. However, Hachiman wondered why the girl had called him this time.

"It's like this. During the summer vacation, Gabriel, Satania, and I are planning to go to the seaside. We thought of inviting you as well, as a thank you for your usual care," Vignette's face displayed a faint smile.

Hachiman certainly wouldn't refuse, "The seaside, huh? No problem at all. In fact, my original plan for the summer was to go to the beach too. Why not go together?"

Talking about summer naturally involved the sea. Hachiman intended to follow last year's plan, renting a private beach and inviting the girls to join.

Unexpectedly, Vignette and her friends also planned to go to the seaside. It seemed like a good idea to go together.
