[533] The Return of the Yuki-Hachi Duo

Chapter 533: The Return of the Yuki-Hachi Duo

In the end, Hachiman agreed to Iroha's request for a date.

Since he had already decided to be a scumbag, he wouldn't be overly sentimental about it.

Besides, constantly pushing girls away would only lead to being labeled as a heartbreaker, which is a serious criticism and could easily get him into trouble.

After confirming the time, the two returned to the student council activity room.

At that moment, Yukino was still diligently working, completely unaware of what had just happened.

Hachiman distributed drinks to the two girls before sitting back down.

Soon, the student council members gathered again to report on the current progress of their various tasks.

After each group shared their updates, Hachiman nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, everyone. You've all worked hard, but we can't let our guard down; we need to speed up our progress."

"Exactly," Yukino chimed in. "Especially regarding the promotional efforts."

"The filming of the promotional video and photos has already been a bit delayed, so please try to expedite it."

"Understood," the member responsible for the publicity team quickly replied.

At this point, Hachiman brought up another arrangement, "We also need to finalize the suppliers for the food and drinks for the dance as soon as possible."

"Right. For the drinks, we can negotiate with nearby suppliers to lower their prices or even provide them for free under the guise of promotion," Yukino added.

"As for the snacks for the dance, if we don't have enough funds to buy a lot of pre-made items, we can ask the school's culinary department for assistance. I can also offer some help myself."

"And regarding the decoration of the venue, I think there are still some areas that need to be addressed…"

"…"

Thus, with Hachiman and Yukino working together, everything was organized and arranged methodically.

Before long, today's meeting came to an end, and everyone wrapped up their work and began to leave.

Naturally, Hachiman and the two girls left together, but instead of parting ways, they headed to Hachiman's house.

Since today was Komachi's birthday, Yukino and Yui had specifically come over to give her gifts.

"Happy birthday, Komachi!" they both said.

As they offered their congratulations, the two girls took out the gifts they had chosen last time.

"Wow, thank you, Yukino-nee and Yui-nee!"

Receiving their gifts, the little girl beamed with happiness and then glanced over at Hachiman.

Her eyes clearly asked, "Onii-chan, where's your gift?"

Seeing Komachi's expression, Hachiman couldn't help but smile wryly as he reached out to tap her forehead.

"Of course I didn't forget your birthday. Just wait a moment."

Saying that, he returned to his room and retrieved the gift he had bought earlier.

"Here you go."

"Wow, thank you, Onii-chan! I love you the most!"

As Komachi accepted the gift from Hachiman, her face lit up with the brightest smile.

In her heart, no matter what Hachiman gave her, it was the best gift ever.

Because Hachiman was her most beloved brother.

Ruffling Komachi's hair, Hachiman smiled back at her.

Seeing the brother-sister duo, Yukino and Yui both wore soft smiles.

Now that the gifts were exchanged, it was time for them to leave.

"Well then, Komachi, we should be going."

"Yeah, we've delivered the gifts, so we really should head back."

But there was no way Komachi would let them leave just like that; she quickly spoke up to persuade them to stay.

"Please don't go, you two! Just stay and have dinner with us. It's my birthday today, and Onii-chan will definitely make a lot of delicious food!"

Hachiman joined in to persuade them as well, "That's right! Stay for dinner. Today is all about Komachi, so you all have to listen to her."

"This…"

Hearing the brother-sister duo, Yui and Yukino exchanged glances and ultimately agreed to stay.

"Alright then, we'll be a bother today."

"Yay!"

Seeing them agree, Komachi cheered and quickly pulled the two girls toward the sofa. She turned back and called out to Hachiman, "Onii-chan, hurry up and make dinner!"

"Okay, okay, I'm on it."

Watching the little girl's excitement, Hachiman shook his head with a smile and headed into the kitchen to start preparing dinner.

Before long, thanks to Hachiman's excellent cooking skills, dinner was ready.

Since there were more people today, he had made several extra dishes.

Nabe a traditional hot pot, dry-fried shrimp, black pepper steak, creamy stew, Kashiwa-mochi…

Looking at the lavish spread, the two girls and Komachi quickly washed their hands and sat down at the dining table.

As soon as Hachiman, the host, took his seat, the eager pre-meal declaration rang out.

"Itadakimasu—!"

At this moment, the sky outside had turned dark, and the streetlights began to flicker on. However, there were more lights shining from houses than there were streetlights.

Each light represented a family, all of whom, like Hachiman and his friends, were savoring delicious meals and enjoying a moment of tranquility as night fell.

....

Saturday.

Since he had arranged to go on a date with Iroha the day before, Hachiman left his house early.

Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, he checked the time and realized he was a few minutes early, so he sat down on a bench to wait.

Before long, a cheerful and familiar voice called out to him.

"Senpai!"

Looking up, Hachiman saw Iroha running toward him from a distance.

Clearly having dressed up for their date, she looked adorable.

As March had arrived and the weather was warming up, Iroha had chosen lighter clothing.

She wore a long khaki coat that was left unbuttoned, revealing a white wool sweater underneath, though it didn't provide much shape.

Instead, the black leggings she wore accentuated her slender and graceful legs, which naturally caught Hachiman's attention.

In his mind, he compared her legs and concluded that they were among the most slender he had seen in all the girls.

Noticing Hachiman's gaze, Iroha felt a thrill of delight. Pretending to wipe nonexistent sweat from her forehead, she spoke in a feigned, delicate tone.

"I'm so tired, Senpai."

However, Hachiman had seen through her attempts to act cute many times before, and he simply waved his hand dismissively.

"Who told you to run over? Just sit down and rest for a bit."

"Aw~~ Senpai, you don't care about me at all."

Seeing Hachiman's indifferent attitude, Iroha pouted in displeasure but quickly rallied her spirits.

"Senpai, where are we going to have fun today?"
