Chapter 379: Why are you two so skilled at this?!
"What are you doing?!"
A loud shout interrupted Hachiman's act of "petting the cat".
Turning towards the voice, he saw a girl who bore a striking resemblance to Mafuyu standing nearby, waiting for him.
The girl appeared to be around twenty years old, with the same cherry-colored long hair and two identical braids at the temples. Her deep blue eyes were filled with anger as she stared at... his hand.
This must be Mafuyu's sister, Kirisu Miharu.
Before Hachiman could even greet her, Miharu rushed over, swiftly swatting away his hand resting on Mafuyu's head and pulling Mafuyu behind her.
Never did she expect someone to lay hands on her elder sister just while she went to the restroom.
This guy must be a pervert, definitely.
With that in mind, Miharu spread her arms like a protective mother hen, positioning herself in front of Hachiman, glaring at him.
"Who are you? What do you want with my Onee-sama?!"
Seeing her like this, Hachiman smirked.
What did I do?
I didn't do anything, alright?
All I did was try to remove my hand from the intoxicated teacher's head just now.
And do you really think your petite body can stop me?
Looking at Miharu blocking his path, Hachiman shook his head.
He had to admit, Miharu's limbs were quite slender, and her body proportions were perfect, probably due to her long-term practice of figure skating. However, her chest was much smaller than her elder sister's.
But her slender physique also indicated that she didn't possess much combat ability. With that petite frame, not to mention the current Hachiman, even an ordinary man would probably overpower her easily.
Believe it or not, I could take you down along with the drunk Mafuyu and achieve the achievement of a double kill of sisters.
Looking at Miharu glaring at him, although Hachiman felt a bit disdainful, he still showed a faint smile on his face.
"You've got the wrong idea. I have no ill intentions. You must be Mafuyu-sensei's sister, Miss Miharu, right?"
Unexpectedly, Hachiman could actually address her by name. Miharu's face displayed a puzzled expression, and her tone sounded hesitant.
"You... Do you know me?"
"Ah, to be precise, we haven't met before. I've only heard Mafuyu-sensei mention you a few times," Hachiman explained with a smile.
"Eh, Mafuyu-sensei? Who are you?"
Hearing Hachiman refer to her elder sister like that, Miharu widened her eyes.
"I'm Hachiman Hikigaya, Mafuyu-sensei's student. Nice to meet you, Miss Miharu," Hachiman smiled and introduced himself.
"A student?"
This caused Miharu to widen her eyes.
Could she have been mistaken?
No, if he's a student, why would he touch Onee-sama's head, and Onee-sama didn't resist.
Could it be...
Thinking of a possibility, Miharu widened her eyes even more.
But before she could ask anything, she felt a soft touch on her back.
Turning her head slightly, she saw her elder sister seemed to have fallen asleep, her body involuntarily leaning against her back.
Seeing this scene, Hachiman couldn't help but speak up: "Miss Miharu, this isn't the place to talk, and Mafuyu-sensei is asleep now. Let's take her home first."
Hearing his words, Miharu looked at her sleeping sister and bit her lip, nodding.
Although she also wanted to clarify, now was not the time to talk.
Seeing Miharu's agreement, Hachiman didn't hesitate. He came behind her, picked up the sleeping Mafuyu, and placed her on his back.
As if sensing a familiar scent, Mafuyu, lying on Hachiman's back, rubbed her cheek against his back, showing a peaceful smile on her face.
After adjusting her position, Hachiman nodded to Miharu beside him.
"Let's go, Miss Miharu. Let's go back."
Before long, the three of them returned to Mafuyu's apartment.
Putting Mafuyu on the bed, Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Miharu beside him.
"Miss Miharu, you take care of Mafuyu-sensei first. I'll go make a sobering soup."
Hearing this, Miharu quickly waved her hand.
"No need, I can handle it here. It's late, Hikigaya-kun, you should go back first."
"It's okay, actually, I live in the opposite apartment, so there's no need to worry about going back." Hachiman smiled.
"Eh? You live in the opposite..."
Now Miharu was stunned.
Ignoring the dazed girl, Hachiman walked into the kitchen by himself.
Although Mafuyu usually doesn't cook for herself, there were still some simple ingredients in the kitchen. After all, sometimes she needs to make ginger brown sugar water. And the method for making a sobering soup is also very simple, just boil vinegar, brown sugar, and add some ginger.
After making the simple sobering soup, Hachiman poured a glass of juice for Miharu. Holding the sobering soup and juice, Hachiman returned to the room.
"Miss Miharu, you've worked hard. Have a glass of juice, and I'll take care of Mafuyu-sensei," he said, handing the juice to Miharu, then carrying the bowl of sobering soup to the bedside.
Seeing his actions, Miharu guessed what he was up to and quickly shook her head. "No, no, I can do it."
"Let me do it. Miss Miharu, you've had quite a bit to drink earlier, so you should rest," Hachiman refused, looking at her slightly flushed cheeks.
With your current state, what if you accidentally inhale it?
Ignoring her protests, he sat on the edge of Mafuyu's bed.
"Mafuyu-sensei, wake up and drink the sobering soup."
Hearing someone call her, Mafuyu drowsily opened her eyes. Seeing Hachiman, a shy smile appeared on her slightly flushed face.
"Oh, it's Hachiman-kun."
However, when she saw the bowl of soup in Hachiman's hand, her smile froze.
"I don't want to drink medicine."
"It's not medicine, it's a sobering soup. After drinking it, you won't feel uncomfortable anymore," Hachiman said with a smile, as if coaxing a child, considering Mafuyu's childlike behavior when drunk.
"O... okay."
In the end, Mafuyu pouted and agreed reluctantly.
"But I want you to feed me."
Hearing this, Hachiman smirked.
Hey, are you serious? You actually want me to feed you?
But seeing her refusing to drink without being fed, Hachiman sighed and reluctantly scooped up a spoonful of sobering soup and offered it to her lips.
"Open up."
"Ah~ Mmm~"
Mafuyu opened her mouth and took the spoon, then complained with a hint of grievance.
"It's sour, and a bit spicy."
"Okay, bear with it, it'll feel better after you drink it," Hachiman continued to coax her, then offered another spoonful.
"Here, open up."
"Ah~ Mmm~"
...
The two of them continued like this, one feeding, the other eating, displaying remarkably smooth coordination.
However, this scene left Miharu stunned.
Why are you two so skilled at this?!

Chapter 380: Operation Rescue Onee-sama
"Why are you two so skilled at this?!"
Watching the seamless coordination between them, Miharu couldn't help but inwardly scoff.
Feeding someone was second nature to Hachiman, having done it for numerous individuals before. As for Mafuyu...
It was purely instinctual.
But their smooth cooperation utterly dumbfounded Miharu.
Why are you both so skilled at this feeding routine, and why does the person being fed look so content?
Moreover, this Hikigaya-kun seemed quite familiar with my sister's apartment. Not only did he effortlessly whip up a sobering soup in the kitchen earlier, but he also easily found the location of the juice and cups.
Could it be... they have that kind of relationship?
But didn't Hikigaya-kun claim to be my sister's student?
Could it be...
My Onee-sama is actually dating her student.
The thought startled Miharu.
Teacher-student relationships...
This... this goes against all norms!
If someone finds out, my Onee-sama's reputation will be tarnished.
No, I absolutely cannot let this happen.
I'll be the guardian of my Onee-sama's honor.
Come on, Miharu, you can do it.
In that moment, Miharu seemed to make a resolution, silently encouraging herself.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Hachiman finished feeding Mafuyu the sobering soup, coaxing her back to sleep.
Seeing Mafuyu lying on the bed with a sweet smile, Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning around, he noticed Miharu staring blankly at him.
"Miss Miharu, are you alright?"
Hearing Hachiman call her name, Miharu quickly shook her head. "Ah, I'm fine."
Thinking of the plan she had just formulated, a faint blush crept onto the girl's cheeks.
No, now is not the time to be bashful. I have to save my Onee-sama.
She had already devised her strategy; all she needed to do was make this Hikigaya-kun develop feelings for her.
If he falls for me instead, my Onee-sama will surely be deeply disappointed.
After all, this is infidelity, and there's no way she'll be forgiven for making advances on her sister-in-law.
Yes, that's it. You've got this, Miharu.
Miharu's resolve strengthened as she thought about repaying her sister for all the years of care. Even if it means sacrificing her own body, it's worth it!
With this determination in mind, Miharu looked at Hachiman with eyes filled with resolve.
Feeling the intensity of her gaze, Hachiman couldn't help but feel a bit perplexed.
What's going on with her?
However, he didn't pay much attention and began to bid farewell. "Miss Miharu, since Mafuyu-sensei has already fallen asleep, I'll head back for now. You should rest early too."
Hearing Hachiman's intention to leave, Miharu panicked. Her plan hadn't been implemented yet; how could he leave now?
"No, you can't leave."
Hachiman looked at her with some confusion. "Is there something else, Miss Miharu?"
"Well, um..." Miharu hesitated, "You mentioned earlier that you're Onee-sama's student, right? Could you tell me what she's like at school?"
So she wants to know more about her sister's work?
Upon hearing her request, Hachiman nodded. Since there was still plenty of time, there was no harm in telling her a bit about it.
"Alright, I'll give you a brief overview then."
With that, Hachiman sat down at the edge of the bed and began telling Miharu about Mafuyu's daily life at school, occasionally eliciting a few sighs of admiration from the little sister.
"Mmm, mmm, so that's what Onee-sama is like at school, huh? An ice queen-type female teacher, she must be really cool."
Sorry, not at all cool. The whole ice queen act is just for show. After getting drunk, she turns into a clingy, affectionate cat.
"I'm sure Onee-sama is super popular at school."
That's actually true. Even though she's only been here for half a year, when it comes to popularity, Mafuyu-sensei is definitely one of the top teachers.
"No wonder Onee-sama. Not only at school, but she also keeps the apartment clean and tidy."
Actually, you're mistaken there. She's not good at cleaning at all.
"Although I don't understand why she suddenly chose to become a teacher, but even as a teacher, Onee-sama must be the best teacher in the world."
Yes, yes, Mafuyu-sensei is number one.
...
After the conversation, Hachiman understood that Miharu is clearly obsessed with her sister.
Dealing with a sister-obsessed girl is quite easy; just praise her sister, especially since this sister-obsessed girl seems to be completely obsessed.
In her mind, her sister is an all-powerful genius.
At this moment, Miharu felt quite satisfied. As a sister-obsessed girl, hearing someone praise Mafuyu made her happier than if they praised herself. So, now, when she looked at Hachiman, her gaze was full of approval.
This Hachiman isn't bad at all.
No wonder Onee-sama is interested in him. He can truly appreciate her sister's charm.
However, before Miharu could even express her joy, she suddenly remembered her true purpose.
Wait a minute, I'm supposed to be saving my Onee-sama, right?
Miharu, Miharu, what are you doing, why would you agree to the enemy's request?
You need to remember that the hope of saving Onee-sama is in your hands.
Let's go for it!
With this thought, Miharu pumped herself up and began to act.
"Oh, it's really summer now, it's a bit hot in here."
Suddenly, the little sister moved her hand and lowered her collar, revealing two seductive half-moon shapes and a not-so-deep cleavage. She then pretended to fan herself with her other hand.
At the sight of her actions, Hachiman was stunned.
What's with this sudden favoritism?
But soon, Hachiman understood what was going on.
It must be the actions he took earlier when he fed Mafuyu that made this little sister misunderstand their relationship.
Adding to that, as the student of Mafuyu, she must have mistaken them for a forbidden love between a teacher and a student.
And in order to save her older sister, the little sister was willing to sacrifice herself to win Hachiman's favor and take him away, thus saving her sister's reputation.
...
In less than a minute, Hachiman figured out the entire situation.
But even though he knew, Hachiman had no intention of going along with her.
He didn't want to think about what would happen with Mafuyu after this, but to just let a little sister drag him away like that, that would be way too easy for Hachiman.
With a glance at the little sister's intentions, Hachiman felt a bit disinterested.
He's a man who has seen the world, this kind of temptation, who would fall for it?
If this little sister was in her mature period, then Mafuyu was fully grown, how could a B+ even be compared to a D+?
