[349] Yukino's Initiative Kiss
Chapter 349: Yukino's Initiative Kiss
Suddenly being kissed by Hachiman in this situation, Yui's body stiffened for a moment. However, kissing each other was not something new to them, so she quickly responded.
After a while, their lips parted.
At this moment, the girl's gaze was somewhat dazed, her face flushed, and she was breathing slightly heavier.
"Hikki... why did you suddenly kiss me? What if Yukinon or the others saw us?"
Hearing her words, a smile appeared on Hachiman's lips.
"Yui, didn't you say you wanted to be with Yukino forever? So, you should get used to things like this gradually."
Since the girl had already expressed that she didn't mind Yukino, he also had to show it.
But hearing his words, Yui pouted and playfully hit his chest.
"Silly Hikki, you always tease me. How could you do this in front of Yukinon and the others? It's so embarrassing."
Kissing was nothing. Saeko and Kotonoha often did even more intimate things together, and their relationship was even closer than sisters.
But this was definitely something she couldn't say to Yui. Otherwise, this silly girl would definitely explode.
Hachiman shrugged and casually said, "Don't worry, I've already driven the motorboat far away. Yukino won't see us."
"Huh?"
The girl then realized that they were at least five kilometers away from the beach.
At this distance, even if Yukino could see their figures, she definitely couldn't see what they were doing.
Seeing the blurry figures on the beach, Yui breathed a sigh of relief.
But she still pouted slightly and glared at Hachiman.
"Thank goodness Yukinon didn't see us. If she found out, I wouldn't talk to you anymore!"
This surprised Hachiman a bit. It seemed that Yui really considered Yukino her best friend, to say such a thing.
"Alright, don't worry. I promise you, I'll make sure Yukino agrees too." Hachiman smiled and patted her head.
With Yui settled, Yumiko's situation wasn't a big problem either. He just needed to try a bit harder himself. As for Saeko, Kotonoha, and Utaha, it seemed they had already reached an understanding.
Unbeknownst to him, Hachiman had already gained the approval of most of the girls. Now, only Yukino, Erina, and a few others remained.
With Hachiman's assurance, Yui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let's head back. Hikki, it's Yukinon's turn for a ride."
"Yeah, let's go back."
Hachiman nodded, eased off the throttle, and guided the motorboat back towards the beach.
Before long, they arrived back at the shore.
As they disembarked, Yui approached Yukino, took her hand, and beamed at her.
"Yukinon, riding on the sea feels amazing. You should give it a try too."
It must be said that girls were indeed natural actresses, even someone as seemingly simple as Yui.
Her current demeanor made it difficult to discern that she had just been kissed by Hachiman.
Upon hearing Yui's suggestion, Yukino's face also lit up with a faint smile.
"Sure, I'll give it a try."
She then looked up at Hachiman.
"Hachiman, let's go!"
Yukino had some things she wanted to discuss privately with Hachiman, and a ride on the sea provided the perfect opportunity.
Hachiman naturally agreed and escorted Yukino onto the motorboat.
With the engine revving up again, the motorboat sliced through the waves and sped across the sea.
Similar to Yui, Yukino sat in front of Hachiman.
The gentle sea breeze caressed her cheeks, causing her to squint her eyes in comfort.
Her long black hair danced in the wind, a few strands teasingly tickling Hachiman's nose, making him feel slightly itchy.
After cruising on the sea for a while, Yukino suddenly spoke up, "Hachiman, could you drive a bit further away? I have something to tell you."
Hearing her request, Hachiman raised an eyebrow but complied. He steered the motorboat to a spot five kilometers away from the shore.
"Yukino, what's on your mind?"
Observing her lowering her head, Hachiman felt a bit puzzled.
Hmm?
Wasn't she the one who wanted to move away? Why isn't she saying anything now?
Before he could even ask, the girl suddenly lifted her head and kissed him on the lips.
Yukino's bold move caught Hachiman by surprise. He never expected the girl to initiate a kiss.
But he wasn't about to let this opportunity slip away. Taking the initiative, he seized control of the kiss.
With Hachiman taking the lead, Yukino had no choice but to go along with it.
After a moment, their lips parted. Yukino's face flushed red as she breathed slightly heavily, while Hachiman remained calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.
Observing this, Yukino felt slightly puzzled.
"Why do you seem so proficient at kissing?"
Although taken aback, Hachiman casually shrugged. "Well, maybe it's just a man's instinct."
"But it's quite rare for you to initiate a kiss like that," he added, teasingly.
Noticing the teasing tone in his voice, Yukino rolled her eyes at him.
"Ugh, you're impossible. Can't even give you a bit of kindness."
"Alright, alright, no more jokes. You mentioned you had something to tell me, right? What is it?" Hachiman smiled.
Taking in his smile, Yukino sighed softly before speaking up.
"I need your help with something."
"What is it? Just tell me, if it's something I can help with, I'll assist you, Yukino." Hachiman's face displayed a confident smile.
"I want... I want you to help me break free from the control of the Yukinoshita family," Yukino said calmly.
"Break free from the Yukinoshita family?" Hachiman paused for a moment, then realized something.
"That kiss just now, was it your way of paying me back?"
Upon hearing his words, a blush crept onto Yukino's face, and she turned her head slightly away.
Seeing Yukino's reaction, Hachiman confirmed his suspicion.
Although Yukino had always wanted to break free from the Yukinoshita family's control, why was she so eager this time?
What he didn't know was that Yukino's urgency stemmed from a conversation she had with her mother during their last visit home.
Mrs. Yukinoshita wanted Yukino to use herself as bait to trap Hachiman on the Yukinoshita family's ship, which only fueled Yukino's growing resentment. While it's true that Yukino likes Hachiman, it's based on her own feelings, not something imposed on her by her mother.
This is why Yukino is so eager to break free from the Yukinoshita family's control. She wants to assert her independence and autonomy, rather than being used as a tool by a powerful family.
