Chapter 213: Yukino - Is he finally making a move on me?
During the break after lunch, Hachiman entered Shizuka's office.
Since it was lunchtime, most of the teachers had gone to have their meals, leaving Shizuka alone, enjoying her takeout ramen.
As she noticed someone approaching, Shizuka, who was eating her noodles, lifted her head.
Seeing Hachiman, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
Ever since the last time Hachiman kissed her on the rooftop, that image had occasionally flickered in her mind, making her feel uneasy these days.
Being a mature single woman suddenly kissed by her student could indeed leave one feeling disoriented.
"What brings you here today?"
Despite feeling uneasy, Shizuka maintained a calm exterior.
However, Hachiman noticed the subtle signs of her inner turmoil. Seeing her act like nothing happened amused him.
Looking around to ensure there were no others nearby, a mischievous smile appeared on Hachiman's face. He slowly leaned closer.
"Hold on, what are you trying to do?!" Sensing him getting closer, Shizuka panicked, subconsciously throwing a punch.
But Hachiman was prepared. Sensing the wind, he quickly raised his right hand, and with a crisp sound, effortlessly caught her fist.
Holding onto her fist, he pulled her up.
His left hand once again climbed the slender waist of Shizuka as he lowered his head, kissing her lips.
Feeling the warm sensation on her lips once again, Shizuka froze.
But it only lasted a moment. Hachiman released her lips, a slight hint of disdain on his face.
"You're eating garlic ramen, of all things."
Hearing his words, Shizuka snapped back to reality, her face turning red.
"Who said you could kiss me!"
Being kissed and then criticized nearly made her pass out from anger.
"This is the reward I promised to deal with your parents."
Hachiman explained calmly.
"But you already got your reward the last time."
"Who said rewards are a one-time thing?"
This statement left Shizuka in shock. She never expected Hachiman to be so shameless.
"You, you, you..."
"Alright, stop with the 'you, you, you.' I came to you for a different reason this time."
Seeing Hachiman shamelessly deflecting the blame, Shizuka gave up resisting.
"Fine, what do you want, you jerk?"
Unable to beat him in words or actions, she felt quite helpless.
Seeing her resigned expression, Hachiman smiled and explained the purpose of his visit.
"Totsuki Resort? The one at the Totsuki Vacation Village?"
After hearing his words, Shizuka also became interested.
That's Totsuki Resort, where staying for a night costs eighty thousand yen. Even under normal circumstances, she wouldn't be willing to spend so much money on a hotel room.
"No problem, I'll rent a minibus and take them all there."
Since it's not her money being spent, might as well make the most of it.
Let this brat take advantage of me; I'll make him pay this time. Shizuka thought with determination.
Hearing her agreement, Hachiman smiled.
"That's settled then. They'll arrange my leave at Totsuki, and I'll head to Totsuki Resort tomorrow. As for Komachi and the others, I'll leave them in your hands."
"I understand. Hurry off; I don't want to see you right now." Shizuka waved dismissively.
Seeing her reaction, Hachiman didn't mind. He shrugged and left the office.
"Do I really find this kid likable?" Feeling her somewhat abnormal heartbeat, Shizuka muttered to herself.
Even though Hachiman had kissed her forcefully twice, she didn't harbor dislike. On the contrary, there was a hint of secret joy.
Seems like I still have some charm.
Wait, what am I thinking? This brat is too young; there's no possibility between us.
Suppressing the flutter in her heart, Shizuka resumed eating her ramen.
After school, at the Service Club.
Having invited Shizuka, Hachiman's target was now only Yukino.
Opening the clubroom door, a breeze swept through, lifting the girl's waist-length black hair.
"Good afternoon."
Seeing Hachiman, Yukino greeted him calmly. After a month of spending time together, their relationship had grown a bit closer.
"Yeah, good afternoon." Seated, Hachiman nodded as well.
"Yukinoshita, do you have any plans for this week?"
"This week? I don't have anything particular. Why do you ask?" Putting down her reading material, Yukino looked puzzled.
"Well, I was thinking of inviting you to Totsuki Resort this week." Hachiman revealed his intention.
"Inviting me to Totsuki Resort? Has Hikigaya-kun finally decided to make a move on me?" Yukino crossed her arms, feigning fear.
Seeing her act this way, Hachiman was utterly perplexed.
Hey, hey, is being this self-centered okay?
While I do have feelings for you, there's no way I can be so straightforward about it. And why are you holding your chest? You don't even have...
"I..."
Just as he was about to explain, the clubroom door swung open again, and a familiar greeting echoed.
"Yahallo."
It was Yui, and upon seeing Yukino's expression, she looked puzzled.
"Yukinon, what's going on?"
"Nothing much. It's just that Hikigaya-kun has unleashed his wild side and is planning to make a move on me." Yukino said with a serious face, implying a misunderstanding.
Hearing her words, Yui widened her eyes.
"Hikki, what's happening?"
Even though he hadn't confessed to me yet, he's apparently making a move on Yukino.
"Silly Yui, don't believe whatever she says so easily."
Feeling exasperated that this gullible dumpling believed her so readily, Hachiman sighed.
"I'm just inviting Yukinoshita to Totsuki Resort, like I told you this morning."
"Oh, is that so? Hehe..."
Hearing Hachiman's clarification, Yui heaved a sigh of relief, chuckling awkwardly.
"By the way, Yukinon, why don't you come too? It's the Totsuki Resort."
"What's this, Yui? Are you going too?" Yukino looked puzzled.
"Yeah, Hikki invited me, so why not join us, Yukinon?"
"Well..." Yukino hesitated.
"It can be considered as our club activity. I've already asked Hiratsuka-sensei, and she'll take you all there on Saturday," Hachiman added.
"Us?"
"Yeah, I've invited some other friends you've met before, the girls we hung out with at the beach last time," Hachiman explained.
Upon hearing this, the girl agreed without much hesitation.
"Alright, I'll join."
Her sudden agreement caught Hachiman off guard, but it worked out in the end, achieving his goal.
With this, everyone was invited.
The next morning, leaving enough living expenses for Komachi, Hachiman boarded the car sent by Totsuki and headed to the destination.
Totsuki Resort!
