Bab 81: Ch 81. The Sad Yui Yuigahama
"Alright, alright, I get it," Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand impatiently, unwilling to argue with Haruno any further.
After a few steps, Hiratsuka turned her head and asked, "What about Hoshimi Kiyokawa? Should we bring him lunch?"
"Better not. I want to see him so hungry that his legs give out," Haruno Yukinoshita's words were full of malice.
"..." Hiratsuka's eye twitched as she left without another word.
She was just asking and had no intention of taking Haruno's suggestion. After all, Hoshimi Kiyokawa was her student, and it was her duty to care for him. She would definitely ensure he got lunch.
But who should she choose to deliver lunch to Hoshimi and Yukinoshita?
Hiratsuka pondered...
...
Meanwhile, Kotoko Iwanaga, who had slept for 29 hours, finally woke up.
Seeing the time, she thought she had only slept for 5 hours. She leisurely got up to attend to her physiological needs.
"Click—"
She opened the bedroom door, and the maids on either side bowed.
"Miss, you're awake. You've slept for a day. What would you like for lunch?"
"Lunch as usual. Hmm?" Kotoko responded before realizing something was off. She turned to the maid, her expression stiffening, "How long did you say I slept?"
"A day, to be precise, 29 hours and 12 minutes," the maid replied accurately.
"..." Kotoko's mouth hung open, her face full of astonishment.
The next moment, without another word, she dashed to the bathroom, calling out, "Lunch as quickly as possible. Also, gather the maids. I need makeup and a bath! As fast as possible!"
"Yes, Miss," the two maids bowed and swiftly went to notify the kitchen and other maids.
...
At Sobu High, Yui Yuigahama, having received a hint from Hiratsuka-sensei, was on her way to Hoshimi and Yukino's location with two convenience store lunches.
Soon, near the bench, Yui hesitated, seeing the two of them sleeping so closely together, unsure whether to wake them.
Standing by, she thought, "I'll wait until they wake up. It wouldn't be good to disturb their rest..."
After a while, the lunch in Yui's hand had gone cold.
Biting her lip, she decided that since they didn't seem like they would wake up soon, she would reheat the lunch at the convenience store.
Returning, she continued to wait.
As the lunch break was ending, Hoshimi and Yukino showed no signs of waking, sleeping even more peacefully, their hands unknowingly clasped together.
"Just a bit longer... They might wake up soon..." Yui murmured, her eyes downcast.
"Ring, ring, ring~~~"
The bell rang, signaling the end of the break. The two still hadn't woken up, but Yui's lunch had gone cold again.
She hesitated whether to reheat the lunch again. Cold food wasn't good for Yukino's health.
But if she reheated it and they woke up and left, they wouldn't have anything to eat.
What should she do? Yui was troubled.
Just as she was at a loss, she spotted a familiar figure in her field of vision.
Her eyes lit up, and she waved her arms, calling softly, "Hikki, Hikki, over here."
"..." Hachiman Hikigaya, passing by, reluctantly approached.
He had already heard from classmates about Yukino and Hoshimi napping sweetly while Yui stood guard nearby.
He didn't think he should get involved, so he hadn't come over before.
But the bell rang, and the matches were about to start. He was looking for a quiet place to continue zoning out and happened to pass by here. He hadn't expected to be dragged into this...
"Yuigahama-san, what's up?" Hikigaya tried not to look at the overly dazzling Hoshimi and Yukino.
"Um, Hikki, can you wait here for a bit? If Hoshimi and Yukino wake up, ask them to wait for me. I'll be back with lunch."
Yuigahama's eyes were pleading.
"..." Hikigaya's eye twitched. Scratching his head, he took the lunch from Yui's hands. "I'll go reheat the lunch..."
He didn't want to stay here. Firstly, standing next to the sleeping Hoshimi and Yukino made him look like a creepy voyeur, likely to be targeted by 'justice warriors.'
Secondly, their radiance was too blinding. Watching too long might damage his spirit.
Thirdly, he didn't want to face Hoshimi. This 'social terrorist' was too scary; one misstep, and he'd be stripped to his underwear...
By the way, let the normies explode!!
"Hikki, thank you..." Yui sighed with relief.
"No problem..." Hikigaya's lips twitched as he glanced at the bench, "They seem to be waking up..."
"Huh?" Yui looked over and saw Hoshimi and Yukino's eyelashes flutter, indeed about to wake up.
She smiled, ready to thank Hikigaya for the heads-up.
But when she turned back, Hikigaya had already walked away...
"Ah~ Yukino, feeling better?"
"... Much better. How long until the match?"
"About twenty minutes. We can warm up a bit... Hm?"
Noticing Yui nearby, Hoshimi raised his eyebrows and greeted with a warm smile.
"Yuigahama-san, good afternoon. What brings you here?"
Yukino, surprised, turned to look at Yui.
"Um... I heard from Hiratsuka-sensei that you two didn't have lunch, so I brought some from the convenience store. It's still warm..."
Yui took a few steps forward, her eyes avoiding theirs as she handed the lunch to Yukino.
