My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected

Page 433

Hayama and Hachiman's meeting was both a coincidence and an inevitability; the two deliberately avoided mentioning their previous outing. Hayama Hayato, always smiling, perhaps also evoked a sense of worry and fear. The two of them didn't believe they understood each other, yet they were communicating, yearning for understanding—that's probably why their conversations always felt somewhat cold.

Sometimes they could resonate with certain emotions, but they couldn't understand why the other person chose to do something. When the four of them went out that time, Hayama tried to connect with Hachiman, but even after doing so, he still found it difficult to accept.

Wow, the scene where Hachiman helps Iroha with her bag in the anime was absolutely fantastic! I felt like it was missing something no matter how I wrote it, but it felt so much better as an animation. The way they acted was just like a date...

Rumi Tsurumi is amazing! She's even prettier than when I last saw her, elementary school student is the best!

Even Totsuka can't soothe Hachiman's feelings now. Love is a cold rain, but he is a ray of light in the middle of the night.

When they met again, Isshiki asked, "What happened before?"

Hachiman remained at a loss.

But contrary to his usual behavior, he hesitated and said, "That's all in the past."

Perhaps, this outcome is one of the results of the Hayama incident.

The rain will inevitably stop, and everything will inevitably come to an end—Hachiman will also have to face what he has been avoiding. There was no deception, but there was no honesty either—that's how their meeting ended.

"Try to do it yourself, try to understand"—these are Yukino's words about her past self.

"Or do you require my permission?"

It seems like he was trying to confirm something when he asked that question. If Hachiman answered other questions, then...

"If it's so easy to destroy, then it's not all that great."

Hachiman couldn't answer any of them.

Perhaps—they haven't lost their shared faith.

It's just a possibility.

So this problem can only dissipate in the night sky.

Anyway, please take care of me in the next postscript.

○More than anyone else, Yumiko Miura has a more girlish way of thinking.

A silent atmosphere filled the room.

Only the silent winter wind passed by, eliciting a "clack, clack" response from the windows.

Normally, these noises would be quickly replaced by the chatter of the other two girls.

but,

In a time when even a pin dropping makes a sound, the sound of the wind is all too clear.

Yumiko Miura.

The atmosphere is created by department staff and visitors.

Miura sat cross-legged, occasionally tilting his head in a bad mood. His soft, golden curls swayed gently and fell softly onto his shoulders.

It reminds me of the nerve-wracking things she said before:

"...Um, you two, do you have anything going on with Hayama?"

Although the specific details were not stated, the question they wanted to ask was quite clear.

Rumors about Hayama—

That is, dating someone like Yukinoshita, or dating someone like Yuigahama...

Completely unfounded rumors, and without any intention whatsoever.

But ironically, this very thing that is so troubling has an attraction.

As the most prominent student in the entire grade and even the entire school, Hayama Hayato was simply too outstanding. Even the most baseless rumors about him attracted a large following.

Hey! Times have really changed. Back in my high school days, almost no boys cared about these trivial things. Boys had plenty of things to gossip about, like which girl was the cutest in their age group, which girl had the biggest breasts, and whether they could touch them if they knelt down...

What's going on, you high school boys! Aren't you just thinking about lewd things...?

However, even thinking about these things from the past cannot free me from my current predicament in the slightest.

The atmosphere remained tense in the silent department office.

Miura's sharp gaze remained fixed on Yukinoshita, but Yukinoshita accepted it nonchalantly.

"...What do you mean?"

Under Miura's persistent gaze, Yukinoshita spoke slowly. Her voice, as cold as the wind, and her clear eyes were as sharp as icicles.

"That's...that one..."

Miura was stung by the gaze and couldn't speak, only slowly turning his head towards Yuihama.

Yuihama frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly seemed to have figured it out and said:

"Oh, it's about that rumor, right? So you came over to ask, right?"

Upon hearing this, Miura nodded slowly, as if ice were melting.

Sure, that's very Miura. He really doesn't seem to have any hostility towards Yuihama.

However, the way she lowered her head made her look... shy?

Well, just to confirm whether the rumor is true or false, she came over to ask. It's practically announcing how much she cares about Hayama. It's only natural that she's shy.

The new semester had barely begun when rumors started flying everywhere, including speculations that Yui and Miura were going to have a major falling out. Miura probably couldn't take it anymore, which is why he took action.

What?! This is even harder than Umihara Kawase...

It would be difficult for either Miura or Yui to pretend they didn't see it.

Such rumors are an invisible harm not only to Ye Shan, but also to the two of them.

The situation should be the same on Yukinoshita's side. However, Yukinoshita calmly stated:

"That thing..."

His voice wasn't sharp at all; instead, it carried a surprised and bitter smile.

She brushed some stray hairs from her shoulder and turned to look at Miura:

"Nothing's wrong."

A somewhat indifferent answer.

But Miura's gaze remained burning:

"Really?"

"What good would it do me to lie?... This has been bothering me for a long time."

Yukino sighed helplessly.

"Huh? What kind of tone is that? It's really annoying. I really hate places like this—"

"Yumiko!"

Miura was startled by Yuihama's shout.

Yuihama, standing before him, pouted angrily, bringing up what they had said in the classroom:

"So it was all a misunderstanding. Think about it, me? Me and Hayama-kun?!"

"Um……"

Miura nodded reluctantly, and stammered out:

"I actually know everything you said, Yui..."

It took a lot of effort, all those words. Yui listened quietly, occasionally chiming in.

"...Probably, that's really all there is to it."

"Um"

I did not get involved, nor could I get involved.

The conversation between the two girls.

However, I didn't have the courage to look at Miura's slightly trembling face. I just propped my head up and looked to the other side, listening silently. Yukinoshita's gaze still followed Miura, but it was no longer filled with pressure; she was just listening quietly.

Miura sighed softly.

She said, biting her lip.

"...But Hayato seems to care a lot."

The sound is very soft.

The vocabulary is also limited.

However, his slightly hoarse voice and his feverish breathing were filled with genuine emotion.

If you look closely, you can see tears welling up in Miura's eyes.

I dare not say that I fully understand its meaning.

I don't have any particular feelings for Hayama. Besides, I've only recently gotten to know him a little. And unlike Miura, romance is basically out of my reach.

However, even a casual observation can reveal Hayama's unusual behavior.

Ye Shan also knew that something was wrong with him after the rumor came out.

Hayama, who usually just laughs off Miura Isshiki's attempts to be friendly, reacted to Ooka's joke this time. And it wasn't the cute kind of flustered or anxious reaction; rather, it was agitated, which was somewhat frightening.

Even I felt that something was wrong with Hayama, so Miura, who had been watching him closely, naturally felt it even more deeply.

Miura gently wiped the corner of his eye and looked up at the ceiling.

After letting out a deep sigh, he continued:

"I really dislike the things people say around me... and I hate it because they mention Yui's name in those conversations."

"so……"

Yuihama's voice was gentler than usual.

Upon hearing this voice, I realized that I was already facing Miura, listening intently without even realizing it.

That was a voice completely different from her usual queenly demeanor; it could even be described as childish.

The sentences sound like those of a crying child.

Yukinoshita stared at Miura with wide eyes in surprise, as if she were seeing someone for the first time.

However, Yuihama was naturally aware of this side of Miura.

He patted Miura's shoulder, gently stroking him as if comforting a child.

Miura gradually calmed down, pointing at the corner of his eye with his finger as if concerned about his makeup, and sighed deeply.

"Sorry, this was just a complaint..."

"It's absolutely okay! ... Um, sorry, it's all because of these weird rumors."

Yui smiled shyly, looking somewhat troubled, while Miura shook his head, his golden curls fluttering in the breeze.

"It's nothing. It's not Yui's fault."

"Hmm... I guess so."

Miura turned his head away and whispered, while Yuihama poked her bun.

"...However, Yumiko..."

Yui stopped what she was doing and called out Miura's name. Her voice sounded somewhat adult.

"I'm so happy that Yumiko said that to me..."

"What are you saying, you idiot..."

Miura glanced at Yuihama with a slightly damp expression, then blushed and looked away. Was she embarrassed by being spoken to so earnestly? Miura unconsciously fiddled with the ends of her hair.

Yukinoshita couldn't help but laugh at this action.
