My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected

Page 64

The overall outfit is white, with light and airy lace giving a soft impression, while the outstretched limbs accentuate the beauty of the skin. Although a lot of the body is exposed, it looks surprisingly elegant.

She is indeed very similar to Yukinoshita; if Yukinoshita embodies solid beauty, this woman possesses a liquid charm.

"What are you doing in a place like this? Oh... a date! You're on a date, aren't you!"

“…………”

The woman kept nudging Xuexia with her elbow and joking with her, but Xuexia only showed a cold expression, seemingly having a terrible headache.

Hmm... They do look very similar, but their personalities are quite different.

If you calm down and observe carefully, you will find that they have many differences.

First, let's look at their breasts. Yukinoshita isn't particularly well-endowed, while her older sister is perfectly voluptuous. A slender figure paired with an eye-catching bust is simply the ultimate combination.

I get it! The thing that seemed unnatural before was the size of my breasts! Oh, no, it's not just that.

"Hey, is that Yukino's boyfriend?"

"...No, they're classmates from school."

"Here we go again~ What's there to be shy about?"

“…………”

Wow, Yukino's glare at her older sister is so fierce... It's so terrifying, but her sister just smiles it off.

"I'm Yukino's older sister, my name is Haruno. Please get along well with Yukino~"

"Yes, I am Hachiman."

Since the other party has given their name, I should also respond with my own. This woman's full name should be Yukinoshita Haruno. Okay, I'll remember that.

"Hikigaya...oh..."

Yang Nai pondered briefly, then quickly looked me up and down from head to toe. In that instant, I suddenly felt a chill run through my body, as if I were bound and unable to move.

"Hachiman, right? Okay, nice to meet you♪"

But that feeling disappeared as Yang Nai smiled at me. What happened just now...? Was I too nervous because a beautiful woman was staring at me?

As her name suggests, Haruno has a cheerful, sunny personality. Although she looks very similar to Yukino, the impressions they give are quite different. Yukino's cold image is very strong, while her older sister's expressions are very rich. It's surprising that even with the same smile, there can be so many variations.

Furthermore, I was truly impressed by how the same facial features could create such different impressions depending on individual personalities.

Now I understand why they don't look alike, but an inexplicable sense of unease still lingers in my mind. It seems the real reason lies elsewhere.

I looked at Hino with a puzzled expression. She glanced at me and then immediately turned to Yukino.

"Ah, isn't this Johnny the panda?"

She spoke excitedly, reaching out to the rag doll she was holding under the snow.

"I really like this thing~ It's so nice~ It's so soft and fluffy~ I'm so envious of Yukino~~"

"Don't touch it."

Yukinoshita's tone was very firm, making me feel a tingling sensation inside my ears. The voice wasn't particularly loud, but the strong sense of rejection pierced my eardrums with pain.

Yang Nai was the same; the smile that had been on her face instantly froze.

"...Wow, that startled me. I'm sorry, Yukino~ So, is this a gift from your boyfriend? I'm being a little rude."

"No, I'm not her boyfriend."

"Oh? You're angry too? If you make Yukino cry, I won't forgive you!"

Yang scolded me by sticking out her index finger, then poked my cheek and started spinning her finger. Ouch! Ouch! It hurts! And it's so close, so very close, so very close... it smells so good!

One's social skills can be understood by observing the distance between oneself and others. The fact that Yang Nai was standing so close indicates that her social skills are surprisingly strong.

"Sister, that's enough. If you have nothing else, we're going back."

Even when Yukino tried to stop me, Haruno completely ignored her and continued to play with my cheeks.

"Tell me the truth! When did you two start dating?"

"Hey! Please stop right now!"

Haruno's index finger continued its relentless poking attack on my face, and by the time I realized it, we were already glued together. Wait, we were actually touching! Ah, it got away! But we touched again! Her chest was launching a relentless "Hit and Away" attack—was she some kind of Muhammad Ali...?

"...Sister, please stop now."

A somber voice rang out, and Yukinoshita made no attempt to hide her impatience. She tossed her hair aside, and Asahino cast a disdainful glance at her.

"Ah... I'm sorry, Yukino, my sister seems to be a little too excited."

Yang Nai then smiled with relief and apologized for her behavior. It seemed like one of the sisters was innocent and carefree, while the other was neurotic.

She then leaned in and whispered in my ear. "Didn't I say you were getting too close?"

"I'm sorry, Yukino is a very sensitive child... so please take good care of her."

At that moment, a strong sense of unease washed over me, and I was so frightened that I leaned my whole body backward.

Yang Nai seemed surprised by my reaction, so she leaned her upper body to the right, closed her eyes, and pondered deeply. That gesture was so cute; if any of the boys nearby saw it, they would probably be instantly captivated.

"Did I do something to upset you? If so, I apologize."

She stuck out her pink tongue and apologized to me, a gesture that stirred my protective instincts and made me feel instantly guilty. I had to think of a reason quickly!

"Ah, no, it's because... well, my ears are my weakness."

"Don't reveal your fetishes to women you've just met, Hachiman. Don't make a scene if you get sued."

Yukinoshita gently pressed her forehead as if she had a headache.

As for Yang Nai, she resumed her previous friendly smile.

"Aha♪ Hachiman is so interesting~~"

I had absolutely no idea what I'd said to Haruno that made her laugh so hard and slap my back. I told you, getting this close was too much!

"By the way, Hachiman, would you like to grab a cup of tea if it's convenient? I need to know if you're suitable to be Yukino's boyfriend."

She puffed out her chest triumphantly and winked at me.

"...Why won't you listen? Didn't I tell you we're just school classmates?"

The sound beneath the snow was like a blizzard blowing from the far north, both cold and piercing, blowing away Yang Nai's teasing without a trace. It was an unequivocal rejection.

However, Yang Nai laughed it off this time.

"It's the first time people have seen Yukino going out with someone, so of course they'll assume it's her boyfriend! That's why they're so happy."

At this point, she chuckled again, as if she found it very amusing.

"Youth only comes once, so you must enjoy it to the fullest. Oh, but don't go too crazy!"

Yang jokingly put her left hand on her hip and raised her right index finger to remind me. Then, maintaining that position, she leaned close to Yukinoshita's ear and whispered:

"Mom is still angry that you moved out to live alone."

The moment Yukinoshita heard the word "Mom," her body stiffened instantly.

There was a brief silence, and I even felt that the noisy amusement park sounds were gradually fading away, like the tide receding.

A second later, she hugged the doll in her arms and said:

"...This has nothing to do with my sister."

No matter what happens, Yukinoshita always faces it head-on, never yielding to anyone, and never bowing her head. But now, she wasn't looking at Haruno, but staring at the ground as she spoke.

This scene struck me deeply. Although there were times when she was downcast under the snow, I had never seen her succumb to anyone.

Yang only smiled slightly.

"I see. That's right, it has nothing to do with my sister."

Then, she quickly jumped away.

"It's enough that Yukino is thinking about it seriously. It seems I've been meddling. I'm sorry."

She covered it up with a "hehe" laugh and looked at me again.

"Hachiman, let's go for tea again when you're really Yukino's boyfriend. Goodbye!"

Finally, she gave me a bright smile, waved goodbye gently in front of her chest, and jogged away.

Yang Nai seemed to radiate light from her entire body, and I watched her leave without blinking until she completely disappeared.

After that, we started moving forward again.

"Your sister is amazing..."

I couldn't help but say that, and Yukinoshita nodded in agreement.

"That's what everyone who's met her says."

"Yes, I understand."

"Yes, she's beautiful, intelligent, skilled in both academics and martial arts, multi-talented, honest and reliable... No one can be as perfect as her; everyone always praises her highly..."

"Huh? Aren't you pretty much the same? Isn't this just a disguised form of self-praise?"

Upon hearing this, Yukinoshita looked up in surprise.

“…Huh?”

"I mean that kind of... well, how should I describe it? It's like being covered in a power suit, that kind of impressive appearance."

You could call that kind of powersuit a mobile suit. That's why I felt something was off about Yukino Yukinoshita. Saying she "wrapped herself up" would be the most accurate description.

"For unpopular guys, your sister is the ideal type. She's easy to talk to, kind, always has a smile on her face, and can even talk to me normally. Also, um... we have very close physical contact, and she feels very soft..."

"Do you even realize how vulgar your words are...?"

"Idiot! I meant her hands! The feel of her hands!"

Despite my desperate attempts to explain, Yukinoshita's disdainful gaze did not soften. I had no choice but to raise my voice and change the subject.

"That's just an ideal scenario; it won't happen in reality! So what I'm saying is, she doesn't seem very honest!"

Unpopular lone wolves might just be the most pragmatic group of people in the world.

I always keep in mind the three principles of the unpopular: "Do not possess (hope), do not create (cracks in the heart), and do not demand (sweet words)." The strongest warriors fight day and night against the strongest enemy called "reality," and will never fall into such a superficial trap.

Even if there are so-called good women in the world, there are no women who can be summoned and dismissed at will.

——Hikigaya Hachiman

A brilliant idea struck me, and I quickly wrote down this famous quote.

She gazed intently into my eyes.

"...Although you always have such dead fish eyes—no, it's precisely because they're dead fish eyes that we can see through you..."

Was that a compliment?

"I am indeed praising you, and praising you greatly."

I can't feel it at all...

Yukinoshita crossed her arms unhappily and looked into the distance.

"Just as you said, that's just how she presents herself. You know about my family, right? She's the eldest daughter, and because of her work, she often has to travel to various places and attend banquets, which has resulted in that side of her... You're quite something."

"Oh, my dad taught me that. He said if I see an older sister selling paintings in a suspicious gallery, I should be extra careful. I'm always very cautious about people who are so affectionate on the first meeting. My dad was scammed before and ended up in a lot of debt because of it."

My mom was almost driven to her death by anger.

In short, thanks to the excellent education I received at home, I have never been deceived so far, and I should not be deceived in the future.

After listening, Yukinoshita rubbed her temples and sighed softly.

"Sigh... What a foolish reason. My sister probably never imagined that she would be suspected because of that."

She had absolutely no idea how to react, but that wasn't all my reasoning.

"Also, she looks a lot like you, but her smile is completely different."

I can distinguish genuine smiles—smiles that are not obsequious, deceitful, or perfunctory.

Hearing what I said, Yukinoshita quickened her pace and walked ahead of me.

"...a foolish reason."

She turned her head and looked at me with her usual somewhat cold expression.
