Chapter 71

However, she did not specifically ask questions about this matter or move closer to observe.

In this way, the quiet taste of time is maintained.

Yuigahama Yui is indeed not someone who likes to read, so her desire to understand "Steins;Gate" naturally has her own selfish motives.

However, the problems she encountered have not changed much. Putting aside the question of whether she is interested or not, even the work itself is a bit difficult for a naturalist like her.

“In times like this, let small businesses handle it!”

She paused temporarily, then took out her phone and asked her doubts.

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino just came back from a trip.

"Xiaoxue, do you want to know why I'm looking for Xiaoqi at noon?"

She suddenly spoke, her expression pretending to be mysterious.

"Just say what you want to say."

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for two seconds and looked directly at him.

"I'm talking to Xiaoqi about this light novel called "Steins Gate"! This is Xiaoqi's favorite work, but it's a little difficult for me to understand. If it's Xiaoxue, it shouldn't be difficult. Do you understand?"

Yuigahama Yui raised the book in her hand and introduced it to Yukinoshita.

"I still have my own books to read."

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to read that the girl had an idea of ​​welfare, but she subconsciously rejected the girl's pursuit of a common topic.

"Eh?"

Yuigahama Yui didn't react for a while.

There are some differences in understanding between the two parties.

Suddenly, the mobile phone beeped.

This diverted her attention.

…

After school, Hikigaya Hachiman went straight back home. Just when he was sitting on the sofa and preparing to rest for a while, he saw the news about 'Yugahama'.

After all, he was not vague about what he had promised, and he happened to be free at this time, so he answered it happily.

After all, it is the light novel version of "Steins;Gate", so it cannot be too obscure. Apart from some proper nouns, what Yuigahama doesn't quite understand is the nouns related to acg culture.

For example, Rintaro Okabe's chuunibyou is something that leaves girls completely confused.

"It's really hard for you to still read light novels when you don't understand anything."

Hikigaya Hachiman muttered to himself.

Then, there was a new question.

Yuigahama: Xiaoqi, what is tsundere?

Me: Tsundere actually refers to a synonym for words and deeds that are tough, arrogant and duplicitous in order to cover up shyness. It is often used to describe people who usually speak harshly and have a tough and arrogant attitude, but under certain conditions can be shy and clingy. I'm tired of the people around me...

Yuigahama: I'm dizzy, this explanation is too long! Is there a more intuitive explanation?

Me: Let me think about it.

Hikigaya Hachiman twirled his chin with one hand as if thinking.

"Well, yes...!"

Me: If I have to say it, Yukinoshita-san has some elements of this, even if it’s just a little bit, it’s not obvious.

Yuigahama: When you said that, Xiaoqi, an outline suddenly appeared in my mind!

…

"No wonder I feel that Xiaoxue is a bit similar to Makise Kurisu. It turns out that's why. Xiaoqi is right."

Yuigahama Yui looked stunned.

"Makise Kurisu?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked sideways, a pair of cold eyes seemed to reflect the cold light.

‘Did I let it slip! ’

Yuigahama Yui suddenly felt embarrassed, with cold sweat on her forehead.

"Oh... Actually, Makise Kurisu is a character in this work, and she feels a bit similar to Koyuki."

She pointed to the light novel in her hand.

"You said that, so Yuigahama must be chatting with Hikigaya, right? Please tell me...don't confuse avatars with real people, idiot."

A sneer formed on the corner of Yukinoshita Yukino's mouth.

"Okay, okay."

Yuigahama Yui's momentum gradually weakened.

"Um?"

Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned for a moment when he saw what Yuigahama told him, and then smiled.

He didn't feel the lethality of such words at all. If Yukinoshita-san said that 'people who seek reality in fictional stories must have something wrong with their heads,' then he would find it more interesting.

However, if he didn't say something, he would still think that he was someone easy to bully.

Me: So you and Yukinoshita are together.

Yuigahama: Well, I joined Koyuki’s club and found out that Koyuki was alone, so I wanted to help.

Me: I understand... By the way, please tell me something.

"So what if I get confused, you hit me, you idiot... That's what Xiaoqi said."

Yuigahama Yui also slightly changed her expression when speaking, trying to be more vivid.

"Xiaoxue, are you okay? Are you angry?"

Seeing that Yukinoshita's expression seemed to darken, she couldn't help but inquire cautiously.

108What, you are not convinced?

"Angry? Why should I be angry for him."

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned beautifully.

"But I have never seen such a request in my life... If I have the chance, I will try my best to help him realize it."

"Xiaoxue, so scary!"

Yuigahama Yui used her hands to protect her, with a scared expression on her face.

The air-distance communication with Yukinoshita Yukino was an accidental episode. Hikigaya Hachiman and Yuigahama chatted for a while before temporarily interrupting the conversation.

After all, this is an important break after school, and it can't be spent on this.

He didn't forget one thing, because he moved up the release time, the deadline for the second volume was also moved up.

Although he felt that writing had become much easier, he still had to keep enough time to avoid the appearance of the writer's card.

A few days later.

"Ding Dong."

The doorbell rang.

Hikigaya Hachiman opened the door.

"Hey, Hachiman."

Yamada Fairy raised her right hand and blinked her eyes, which was very charming.

The two walked into the living room.

"Miss Fairy, have you been coming here more frequently recently?"

He said casually.

"Is that the case?"

Yamada Fairy's eyes flickered, and then she replied, "After all, we are neighbors, and we are friends."

"By the way, I came here today to do something!"

She suddenly changed the subject.

"What is it?"

He asked back.

"Isn't sister Komachi coming to play today? I just made some desserts, and I'll let you try the taste first."

The fairy lady smiled slightly.

"Did Komachi tell you about this?"

Hikigaya Hachiman narrowed his eyes slightly.

My sister has become more and more cunning recently!

If she continues like this, she will be lawless.

But, my sister happens to be the soft spot in his heart, and there is really nothing he can do.

"Of course, because I am very charming! Komachi's main purpose this time is to find me. A boring brother like you is completely useless."

The fairy lady lifted her hair and said complacently.

"Tsk."

He hissed.

Then, the fairy Kusamada brought the prepared desserts from her home, lying on the sofa playing games while waiting for Komachi to arrive.

After a while, the doorbell rang again.

A girl dressed in a white T-shirt and a cool outfit appeared in front of him, with a head of aho-hair, looking youthful and energetic.

"Good afternoon, Onii-chan."

"Good afternoon, Fairy-san."

Komachi smiled and greeted the two with a very sweet voice.

"Komachi-san, long time no see."

Yamada Fairy paused the handheld game in her hand, stood up, and responded to the girl.

"This is the gift I prepared, Komachi-san."

She pointed at the table.

"Ah, I thought it was prepared by Onii-chan. It seems that Fairy-san cares more about Komachi. Onii-chan doesn't like Komachi anymore... Oh."

Komachi shook her head and sighed, looking aggrieved.

Hikigaya Hachiman's mouth twitched.

Do you want me to prove how much I love my sister?

Faced with his sister's deliberate squeezing, he had to say: "How could I not like Komachi? It's just that as for gifts, I can only say that boys' minds are not as delicate as girls'."

He tried to excuse himself.

"Sister-san?"

Yamada Fairy's expression became more playful, and she winked at him.

"It's just a simple brother-sister relationship."

He emphasized.

"It's just sister control, right?"

Miss Fairy spread her hands.
