Chapter 286: Hachiman Disdained by His Sister
"Trying to charm me? You're far from succeeding."
Yumiko huffed but suddenly had a thought and asked, "Why are you here? This is a women's clothing store. You're not here for some perverted behavior, are you?"
Hearing her words, Hachiman was left speechless.
"Of course not! What kind of image do you have of me? I'm just here to accompany Komachi in buying clothes."
"Oh, you came with Komachi." Yumiko nodded in understanding.
"Exactly, I'm not that vulgar guy you're thinking of." Hachiman straightened his chest, trying to redefine himself.
Seeing his demeanor, Yumiko snorted, "A guy like you who wants to build a harem is no different from them."
She hadn't forgotten that Hachiman had once mentioned wanting both her and Yukino.
Little did she know, Hachiman's desire extended beyond just the two of them.
"But I genuinely care about both of you. I like you, Yumiko." Hachiman's expression was unusually sincere.
Unexpectedly confronted with such a serious confession, Yumiko's heart ruffled with slight ripples. However, being a strong-willed girl, she wasn't one to easily agree.
"Hmph, many people like me. You're not that special."
"Isn't that even better? Your charm attracts many admirers, Yumiko." Hachiman praised her before changing the subject.
"But I might get jealous, so let me mark you, Yumiko."
Before she could react, he hugged her and planted a kiss on her enticing lips.
"Mmm..."
Yumiko was startled by Hachiman's sudden kiss. She tried to resist, realizing they were in a store, and being seen like this would be embarrassing.
Unfortunately, her strength was negligible to Hachiman. Before long, Yumiko lost the energy to resist and gradually became immersed in the kiss.
Damn, he's surprisingly skilled...
Such a thought crossed the girl's mind, but the next moment, she lost the will to resist, and her body instinctively responded.
After an unknown period, their lips separated with a soft sound, giving Yumiko a chance to catch her breath. She breathed heavily.
"Jerk, why did you do that so forcefully?"
With a blush on her face, the girl extended her hand and lightly pounded Hachiman's chest. However, the force seemed more like a lover's playful gesture.
"Hehe, if I'm not firm, how can it be considered stamping?" Hachiman chuckled.
"After stamping, Yumiko, you're mine."
Saying this, he tightened his hold on the girl.
Hearing his words, Yumiko felt a faint sense of happiness in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she pretended to be unhappy, giving him a disapproving look.
"You're daydreaming. Hurry up and let go. What if Komachi-chan sees us?"
But Hachiman was completely unfazed. "What's there to be afraid of? If Komachi sees us, I'll introduce you to her as her sister-in-law."
"Pfft, you shameless guy. I still have some decency," the girl retorted, disdainfully.
"And if Komachi-chan finds out you're thinking of more than one sister-in-law for her, she'll probably be shocked."
Hachiman chuckled. Before he could say more, he actually heard Komachi's name.
"Onii-chan..."
"Huh, where did Onii-chan go? He disappeared in the blink of an eye," Yumiko said, startled by Komachi's voice. She quickly pushed Hachiman away and adjusted her clothes.
Seeing this, Hachiman shrugged, calling out to Komachi in the direction of her voice, "Komachi, I'm over here."
Komachi turned a corner and, upon seeing Hachiman, couldn't help but complain, "Really, Onii-chan, why did you wander off? You made Komachi worry so much."
Hearing her words, Hachiman rolled his eyes, saying, "I'm your brother, okay? What's there to worry about? I just saw someone I know and came over to say hello."
"Eh? Someone you know."
Komachi looked around and then spotted Yumiko, who had just finished adjusting her clothes. She quickly greeted her, "Oh, it's Yumiko-neesan. Good afternoon."
"Yeah, Komachi-chan, good afternoon."
Yumiko, finding Komachi adorable, couldn't harbor any dislike for her. She smiled and returned the greeting. However, there was a faint feeling of guilt lingering in her heart.
"Is Yumiko-neesan also here to buy clothes?" Komachi asked.
Suppressing the guilt, Yumiko nonchalantly nodded, "Yes, I'm here to buy clothes too."
"That's great! Yumiko-neesan, let's just choose clothes together. Onii-chan can't offer any useful opinions anyway," Komachi said happily, revealing a smile. She then cast a somewhat disdainful look at Hachiman standing beside her.
Hmm.
Hachiman didn't expect to be looked down upon by this little sister. He couldn't help but tug at the corner of his mouth.
Even Yumiko couldn't help but let out a chuckle and gave Hachiman a teasing glance.
"Sure, Komachi-chan. Rest assured, I'll make sure to dress you up beautifully."
As one of the pinnacles of attractiveness among all the girls in the school, Yumiko excelled in both makeup and clothing coordination.
"Since that's the case, let's go, Yumiko-neesan."
"Okay." Komachi nodded and then glanced at Hachiman, who was idle.
"Onii-chan, come over here."
"Me? I don't know anything about choosing clothes," Hachiman said, puzzled.
"I'm well aware of that. So, Onii-chan, your only job is to come along and carry the bags," Komachi said matter-of-factly.
Hmm, carrying bags.
Hearing Komachi's words, Hachiman smirked and then realized he couldn't find a reason to object.
Because when a guy goes shopping with girls, apart from paying, the other duty is to carry bags.
"Hurry up, Onii-chan."
Komachi turned around, and seeing Hachiman standing there, hands on hips, she urged him.
"Coming, coming."
Hachiman responded and quickly caught up.
For the next two hours, he dutifully played the role of a bag carrier. Well, what could he do? One was his beloved sister, and the other he had just kissed. With him around, Komachi and Yumiko only needed to focus on trying and buying clothes.
Around 4 PM, Yumiko and Komachi finally concluded their shopping spree. By this time, Hachiman was laden with seven or eight bags, each containing various articles of clothing.
章節 287: [287] Komachi - Another Sister-in-law Candidate
Chapter 287: Komachi - Another Sister-in-law Candidate
Shopping with girls is like activating an infinite stamina cheat code – they seem completely unaffected by fatigue. Despite Hachiman's current constitution, the mere two to three hours felt physically untiring, yet mentally exhausting.
In contrast, Yumiko and Komachi appeared far from satisfied, as if they could continue shopping indefinitely.
Indeed, accompanying a girlfriend on a shopping spree is one of the most terrifying things in the world.
Back at the mall entrance, Komachi, looking at the clothes Yumiko had helped her pick, happily expressed her gratitude.
"Thank you, Yumiko-neesan."
Yumiko waved it off, "It's nothing. I needed to buy clothes too, so helping you choose was a good opportunity."
"Yumiko-neesan, your figure is amazing. I wonder if I can be like you." Komachi, looking at Yumiko's tall and slender figure, expressed some envy.
Confident in her own physique, Yumiko assured Komachi, "Don't worry, Komachi. You're still young, and there's room for development. Your figure will surely be great in the future."
"Really? Then I hope it turns out as good as you said, Yumiko-neesan."
Komachi's face lit up with a happy smile. Suddenly, she seemed to have an idea and glanced at Yumiko and then at Hachiman.
It appeared that Yumiko and Hachiman got along well, considering their joint participation in previous group activities. It felt like another candidate for a sister-in-law. Should she consider it?
Having made up her mind, Komachi spoke again.
"To thank you, Yumiko-neesan, for helping me choose clothes, why don't you come to my house for dinner today? I'll have Onii-chan cook for us."
She even shot a meaningful glance at Hachiman.
Observing Komachi's intentions, Hachiman understood what she had in mind. However, he went along with it.
"Absolutely, Yumiko. It's a rare occasion; let's have dinner at my place."
"Huh, this..."
Although Yumiko hesitated at their words, considering Hachiman's culinary skills, she couldn't help but agree.
"Well... alright, then. I appreciate it."
Seeing her agree, Komachi made a scissor gesture toward Hachiman.
"No trouble at all. Since it's just me and Onii-chan at home, having one more person for dinner will make it livelier."
She reached out to Yumiko, leading the way toward her house.
As for Hachiman, he found himself alone, carrying bags of various sizes, following the two.
In no time, the trio returned to the Hikigaya residence.
After placing the bags on the couch, Hachiman was about to take a break when Komachi, hands on hips, confidently spoke up.
"Onii-chan, now's not the time for you to rest. Hurry up and prepare the ingredients."
A mere Komachi, and she dared to boss him around like this.
Hachiman felt a bit annoyed, stood up, and gave Komachi a light tap on her forehead.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Feeling the pain on her forehead, Komachi pouted in displeasure.
"Onii-chan, you're bullying your cutest sister."
Hearing this, Hachiman was left speechless.
You, who only knows how to boss around your big brother, aren't exactly the definition of cute.
Seeing him still sitting there, Komachi changed her approach.
She grabbed one of Hachiman's arms and started to act cute.
"Aww, Onii-chan, don't be mad. Komachi is sorry."
"Hurry up and cook, please. Both Yumiko-neesan and I are hungry."
"Onii-chan is the best."
"..."
In the end, Hachiman couldn't resist Komachi's pleading and reluctantly stood up, patting her forehead with a hint of helplessness.
"You really know how to make both good and bad people do your bidding. Sit and wait; I'll cook for you."
He glanced at Yumiko, who was still standing, and added, "Yumiko, please have a seat and rest. Leave dinner to me."
Seeing Hachiman finally agreeing to cook, Komachi flashed a victory sign behind his back.
Yumiko couldn't help but smile, feeling a mix of warmth and a hint of envy for the close bond between the siblings. Being an only child, she couldn't experience the feeling of having a brother or sister.
With these thoughts, she noticed Komachi sitting on the sofa, taking out a gaming console and waving at her.
"Yumiko-neesan, want to play games while waiting?"
Seeing the competitive game Komachi had, Yumiko confidently smiled.
"Sure, I'm quite skilled at this game."
"Hehe, I'm pretty good too." Komachi was equally confident.
"Then let's have a match." Yumiko grabbed a controller.
Komachi took the other one. "Bring it on, Yumiko-neesan."
While the two began their gaming showdown, Hachiman started preparing the meal in the kitchen. Glancing at the available ingredients in the fridge, he quickly decided on the menu.
Shortly after, the enticing aroma wafted from the kitchen to where Yumiko and Komachi were playing. Komachi's character was defeated by Yumiko's, and she complained, "Ugh, Yumiko-neesan, you cheated while I wasn't paying attention."
"Hehe, a win is a win. Komachi-chan, are you trying to back out of your defeat?" Yumiko smirked, putting down her controller.
"Ugh... let's play another round." Komachi looked determined.
At that moment, Hachiman walked out of the kitchen. "Stop playing; it's time for dinner. Wash up, both of you."
Hearing his words, Yumiko and Komachi put down their controllers and hurried to wash their hands.
"I'm digging in!"
The customary pre-meal declaration echoed, and the three of them picked up their chopsticks.
Stir-fried green peppers with pork, dry-fried shrimp, chicken and mushroom casserole, miso soup, and a side of vegetable salad.
Each dish emitted a tempting sheen under the soft glow of the lights.
...
After dinner, Yumiko expressed her gratitude and took her leave. Komachi seized the opportunity, insisting that Hachiman escort Yumiko home. Hachiman didn't refuse.
They walked through the quiet residential area and reached the bustling commercial street. Despite the nighttime setting in, pedestrians continued their brisk pace, and the street remained lively.
Observing the people passing by, Hachiman contemplated for a moment and reached out, gently taking Yumiko's delicate hand.
The girl offered only mild resistance, allowing him to lead the way.
