Chapter 401: I Couldn't Help but Feel Moved Too

Looking at Hachiman's expression, Yumiko's face showed a hint of suspicion.

"I have a feeling you're thinking about something naughty."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman felt a bit embarrassed.

Girls' intuition is always so accurate.

But Hachiman was who he was, with maxed-out Acting skills; he shrugged nonchalantly, pretending as if nothing was amiss.

"How could that be? I was just thinking how beautiful you look tonight, Yumiko."

With his praise, Yumiko's attention indeed shifted.

"I don't need you to tell me that. And, I'm not just beautiful tonight, I'm beautiful every day."

Though she felt happy inside, Yumiko still couldn't be too straightforward, as Hachiman had mentioned earlier.

"And don't you dare say I'm yours."

Seeing her reaction, Hachiman felt a bit helpless.

What does she mean, "scared away by me"? I'm not that scary; it's clear that Ebina created an opportunity for us to be alone.

"Alright, alright, stop being so tsundere. It's better to be straightforward," Hachiman chuckled and shook his head.

Hearing this, Yumiko glared at him fiercely.

"It's all because of you, being indecisive like this and wanting to build a harem. How could I ever agree to that?"

"And most importantly, you even have feelings for Yukino."

Seeing her getting worked up over Yukino, Hachiman felt a bit helpless.

"Why are you so incompatible with Yukino? You two don't interact much anyway."

Upon hearing Hachiman's words, Yumiko snorted.

"Hmph, although we don't talk much, every time I see her acting all high and mighty, it makes me uncomfortable."

For Yumiko, who had always been in the spotlight since childhood, and had a bit of a princess complex, there were many things she found distasteful, and Yukino's cold demeanor was one of them.

Yukino's aloof personality always made Yumiko feel like she was looking down on others.

Furthermore, Yukino's beauty and excellent grades made her more susceptible to jealousy from other girls, as same-sex repulsion is a common phenomenon.

In the original story, Yumiko's animosity towards Yukino stems from another source: Yukino's treatment of Hayama.

Given Yumiko's affection for Hayama, hearing Yukino's sarcastic remarks and disdain towards him naturally fuels her anger.

Additionally, Yukino and Hayama share a childhood friendship, and Hayama's feelings towards Yukino remain ambiguous. This uncertainty leads Yumiko to fear that Yukino might win Hayama's affections, hence her negative feelings towards Yukino.

Even though Yumiko's feelings for Hayama have faded, her conflict with Yukino persists due to her feelings for Hachiman.

As they say, life is full of unexpected twists and turns.

Observing Yumiko's demeanor, Hachiman can't help but sigh. Building a harmonious group of romantic interests still seems like a distant goal.

The revolution hasn't succeeded yet; comrades still have much work ahead.

Seeing Yumiko's sulking expression, Hachiman reassures her with a smile, "Alright, don't be upset. When your birthday comes, I'll organize a grand celebration for you."

"Hmph, you better stick to your word. If you forget, you'll see what I'll do to you."

Yumiko's mood visibly improves at this promise. Having spent enough time with Hachiman, she knows that once he decides something, he rarely backs down, so she decides to let the matter drop.

"Rest assured, since I've promised, I'll definitely follow through," Hachiman assures her.

"At that time, let's invite your parents and Komachi, and we'll celebrate together as a family."

Hearing this, Yumiko feels a surge of happiness, although she blushes faintly when he mentions her parents.

"You jerk, why are you saying such things? Who said they're your in-laws and who said we're a family?"

"Get lost, leave me alone. I can't stand being around you."

With a dismissive gesture, she expresses her disdain.

Understanding her shyness, Hachiman doesn't push further and simply shrugs before departing.

As she watches Hachiman leave, Yumiko feels a bit dazed.

Suddenly, a familiar voice speaks in her ear.

"Yumiko, is everything alright?"

The sudden voice startles Yumiko, but she quickly recognizes the speaker.

"Hina, you scared me! Don't sneak up on me like that."

Indeed, it was Ebina speaking. Yumiko hadn't noticed when she had approached from behind.

Upon hearing Yumiko's words, Ebina chuckled, "Oh my, I'm not sneaky at all. It's just that you were so captivated by someone that you didn't notice me."

"W-Who... Who's captivated? Hina, don't talk nonsense," Yumiko retorted nervously.

"Well, who knows."

Watching the girl's obvious attempt to cover up, Ebina's lips curled into a mischievous smile.

"Oh dear, but Hachiman-kun is certainly popular."

With that, Ebina's gaze shifted to a nearby scene where Hachiman was conversing with other girls. Each time he approached them, they genuinely smiled with happiness.

"What special qualities does Hachiman have to be so popular with girls?"

Hearing Ebina's words, Yumiko scoffed dismissively, "Tch, that guy just happens to be a bit better at cooking, more reliable, speaks nicely, and is genuinely sincere..."

But as she spoke, her voice trailed off because when she carefully considered it, Hachiman had too many positive traits.

Just then, Ebina's teasing voice sounded in Yumiko's ear again.

"Oh my, I didn't expect you to understand Hachiman-kun so deeply."

"Hmph, who would bother to understand that jerk? He's just always around me, so I got to know him," Yumiko said, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Are you sure it's not because you like Hachiman-kun that you understand him?" Ebina continued to tease.

Yumiko fell for it, turning her head away and speaking insincerely, "Who would like him? He's just Hachiman Hikigaya, nothing more."

Seeing her reaction, Ebina's lips curled into a mischievous smile.

"I see. Well, if you don't like him, then I'll make my move."

"After hearing you list all of Hachiman-kun's qualities, even I can't help but be a little intrigued."

Chương 402: [402] Yukino's Jealousy

Chapter 402: Yukino's Jealousy

"Listening to you talk about Hachiman-kun's strengths, I couldn't help but feel a bit drawn to him."

This time, Yumiko was stunned. She never expected her best friend to say something like that.

In a panic, she instinctively refused, "No way!"

"Huh? Why not? Yumiko, you said you don't like Hachiman-kun, right? So, what's wrong if I like him?" Ebina smirked knowingly, playing dumb.

"Because... because, Hina, you know that Yui likes that guy, Hachiman, so you can't like him." Yumiko quickly found a reason.

"Ah, I see. That's okay. Look, so many girls like Hachiman-kun, and Yui doesn't mind. I believe adding one more won't make a difference," Ebina analyzed with a smirk.

"And Yui and I can be good friends. We can work together to snatch Hachiman-kun away first, and in the end, we can both try our best to win him over."

But that guy Hachiman wants to open a harem, and he seems to have a magical charm. Once he sets his sights on someone, they can't escape.

Hearing Ebina's words, Yumiko shouted in her mind and blurted out instinctively again.

"No, Hina, you can't."

"Huh? Why not? This doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, Yumiko. If anyone should refuse, it should be Yui, not you," Ebina continued knowingly.

"Because... because..."

After stuttering for a while, Yumiko couldn't find a good reason, so she gave up and spoke the truth.

"Because I also like that guy, Hachiman. Yui has me helping her, so Hina, you shouldn't get involved, or you won't be able to escape in the end..."

After hearing Yumiko finally speak the truth, Ebina's face lit up with a pleased smile. However, she seemed not satisfied yet and continued teasing the girl.

"Huh? But Yumiko, didn't you just say you don't like Hachiman-kun? Why the sudden change of heart?"

Unfortunately, Yumiko finally realized what was going on. Her so-called best friend was clearly teasing her.

Because the smile on Ebina's face right now was the same as when her mother used to tease her.

Realizing this, Yumiko couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed, with a mixture of embarrassment and anger on her face.

"All right, Ebina, you dare to tease me, even though you're my best friend."

Although she was exposed, Ebina showed no signs of nervousness. Instead, she continued to speak with ease.

"I didn't tease you, Yumiko. I asked you at the beginning, remember? It's just that you never admitted it."

"So, it's all because of you, Yumiko."

Hearing Ebina's words, Yumiko was dumbfounded. And upon careful consideration, her best friend was right. If she had admitted liking Hachiman from the start, she wouldn't have been teased.

Realizing this, Yumiko felt a bit helpless.

Wasn't she reaping what she sowed?

At this point, Ebina continued, "But Yumiko, if you really like Hachiman-kun, I think you should be more honest in the future."

"You see," Ebina said as she pulled Yumiko to look at Hachiman, who was chatting happily with other girls not far away.

"Do you see? As we can see, Hachiman-kun is quite popular. So, Yumiko, you should seize the opportunity. Be more straightforward in the future. If you're always too aloof, it will make men lose patience."

"... "

Upon hearing Ebina's words, Yumiko couldn't help but fall silent.

Patting her shoulder, Ebina gave her one last piece of advice.

"Being aloof is indeed a cute trait, but at the same time, it's synonymous with being a loser."

After saying this, the girl didn't pay any more attention to the silent Yumiko. She came to the table and silently started eating cake.

Actually, there was one more thing Ebina didn't say.

She did develop an interest in Hachiman.

Seeing her two friends, Yumiko and Yui, both falling for Hachiman, and not just them, but also so many other girls liking him, naturally piqued Ebina's interest in him.

As for Yumiko, when she saw Hachiman walking towards Yukino after finishing his conversation with Alice and Erina, her face suddenly showed a resentful expression.

Because she saw that the person Hachiman was approaching at this moment was Yukino.

Damn it, that jerk Hachiman actually went to find Yukino again. Could she really be that good?

No, she couldn't let this go on. Losing to others is one thing, but she couldn't lose to that Yukino.

With that in mind, it seemed like Yumiko had made up her mind about something.

...

At this moment, Hachiman also arrived at Yukino's side.

Seeing the girl eating cake delicately, Hachiman smiled and asked, "How is it? Is the cake delicious?"

"It's very good. The cream is sweet but not cloying, and the cake itself is soft like a sponge. It's truly worthy of being from the Top Ten of Meguri." Yukino nodded coolly.

"I see. As long as you like it." Hachiman smiled.

However, the girl's face didn't show any signs of satisfaction; it remained cold.

"Our guest of honor has time to come to me," she remarked.

Hearing this, even Hachiman, as dense as he could be, understood that Yukino was jealous.

And indeed she was. Though she had just been eating cake, her eyes had been fixed on Hachiman, naturally observing his interactions with the other girls.

Do I... really like Hachiman?

Yukino asked herself inwardly. Though she tried to deny it, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable whenever she saw Hachiman getting along with other girls.

At this point, she couldn't continue denying it. But then, another question arose.

Why do I like him?

Perhaps it was because of all those requests.

Yui's cookie request, Saika's tennis training, Kawasaki's job persuasion...

Upon careful recollection, Hachiman played a crucial role in each request.

He really is a reliable guy.

When did I truly start liking him?

Yukino continued to question herself inwardly.

Soon, she had an answer.

Maybe it was that night at the summer camp in the forest.

That night... they had their first kiss, and she felt no aversion in her heart.

That should be proof that she had already fallen for Hachiman.

With the answer in her heart, the girl's confusion dissipated.

But this guy is too fickle. Despite having kissed me, he still acts ambiguously with other girls.

With that thought, Yukino's gaze towards Hachiman also turned displeased.
