COTE: A Man On A Mission || Love is War?
Chapter 676 - 676: Ch 686 - Being Pursued by Two Sisters~
"You don't like your sister very much."
But now, Haruno didn't say anything like, "That's annoying, it's not like that."
"Hikigaya-kun, can you take out the cell phone in your pocket?" However, this is what she answered.
"No, I didn't record it. I won't tell Yukinoshita Yukino what you said today."
"…"
Miss Haruno then patted the bench gently and said, "I observed so carefully, and you actually discovered it."
Her mood turned frank, "Indeed, although Yukino is stubborn and unyielding, which is cute, and even wants to be like me, which is interesting, but unfortunately, she can't do it. Even though she is like this, I am still a little enviable. As a child of Yukinoshita family, I don't have her freedom, nor do I get the comfort she gets after failure. I don't even have the freedom to stop when I find out I can't do it like she does."
In other words, these two sisters are actually quite awkward.
From what Yukinoshita Yukino said, we can know that she actually admires her sister very much, and even hopes to become an independent person until she can inherit the family business.
In other words, Yukinoshita wants to inherit the family business and become as outstanding as her sister.
But it was just a thought, she couldn't do it.
Just thinking about it, Haruno also felt that there was no need to come up.
Because she herself was walking this road, she knew how bitter and difficult it was, so she kept hitting her sister, but she was envious and jealous of her sister's possibility of choice.
She had nothing.
This relationship can be described as two sisters who both like toffee in other's hand more.
Very envious.
But unfortunately, neither side knew that both were sour.
At this time, Hachiman took out his cell phone and checked the time.
There are still more than two hours until lunch break.
This time might be a bit long, so he sent a message to Karuizawa, asking her to go to another store to rest first.
Now, Yukinoshita Haruno seems to have slightly opened the mask, revealing her inner heart.
So after listening to her complaints, his work was over for now.
It doesn't make sense that Yukinoshita Haruno flew from Chiba in middle of the night just to get him to continue paying attention to her sister and assist her.
After all, some things can be said over the phone.
So, she didn't need to come here specially. There was probably only one reason why she came here.
Because he has a lot of experience dealing with Kushida.
Hachiman judged.
'Yukinoshita Haruno, this girl, seems to be looking for someone to talk to and release her emotions. The person who can she speak to must not affect her interpersonal relationships. At the same time, there are cold money transactions to be handled, so it is very clear....'
He fits this requirement. So it doesn't hurt to say something to him.
Let's just see what kind of trouble she is facing now, what kind of pressure she is feeling, and what she wants to vent.
"But this is your responsibility as a sister, and I am also a brother. It's not that I can't understand your thoughts at all. But we are our sister's brothers or sisters, aren't we?"
As a sister. Indeed.
Responsibility. As older children, you need to take responsibility, and this cannot be changed.
Haruno accepted her fate very early on, "That's great. I want a brother, too. It would be nice if Hikigaya-kun was older."
"…." ?
'No no no. If you want an older brother, then he will inherit your family's property. You can rest easy, but your brother will have a hard time. So it's not okay for you to look at me like this at all!'
"Are you in any trouble now?" Hachiman thought about it and decided to sell Kushida out, "You and my girlfriend are very similar in type. She also likes to make gestures that everyone likes. But this will add a lot of pressure. So, you came all the way to Hokkaido, Miss Haruno must have reached a critical point, right?"
"Hmmph! I am not that fragile!"
"Because you helped me choose souvenirs, I have some extra time, so it seems reasonable to return the favor. You can think of me as a door. It will listen completely and will not speak to others."
"It's annoying. You just ignored me." However, Haruno's attitude seemed to become light-hearted again, but her eyes seemed to be slightly relieved.
She really was a bitch, and came here on purpose.
She just felt that there were some things she couldn't say to Hiratsuka, but keeping them in her heart would only become a burden.
In the past, she would often travel and use it as a way to vent.
But long-term travel has become unrealistic recently.
So, most direct way to deal with it is to find the right person to talk to.
But it is difficult to find. She has to find someone who will not pose a threat to her, but can also restrain each other and will not betray her.
'This guy is really smart. Not only did he see through my fake appearance, he also saw through my thoughts, and was even... an experienced listener. His girlfriend will be so happy.'
"I've encountered a problem indeed. I've been pursued by many boys recently."
"...." Hachiman. 'Ah? Is being liked by others a problem?'
"Speaking of the topic just now, Hikigaya-kun, what do you think can make me less boring? Or can you think of a way to save me?"
She is not the type to give in easily when someone says something right.
Even if other person is right.
She is the eldest daughter in family and Yukinoshita's older sister, but she was chosen by her mother to be the heir to the family.
She represents Yukinoshita family, so she faces the society, participates in various high-end gatherings, and comes into contact with all kinds of people.
Good at communication.
This is standard for becoming an heir, so she chose this...
Different from her mother who lost 100% of herself to become an upper-class person, she is 80%.
On the one hand, she tries hard to maintain her image, and on other hand, she hopes that her true side, not the dark side of everyone's idol and favorite person, will be discovered.
Now it has been discovered.
So, Haruno was interested. She wanted to see how he answered.
But she saw Hikigaya's fingers seemed to be digging for something in his pocket, and then it seemed that he didn't get what he wanted.
In the end, only a 200 ml can of Max coffee was taken out.
With a click, he opened the can. But it doesn't seem to be for coffee.
Because he threw away the coffee.
What a waste. Haruno noticed that Hikigaya was holding pull ring of can in his hand.
What does this mean?
In fact, she already understood.
"In fact, it's easy to be rescued, no, to save yourself." What Hikigaya-kun took out was a super cheap can ring, a round ring.
It's a ring. Yet it can be likened to a ring.
Couples can wear rings, unmarried ones have rings, and married people also have rings.
The ring is a symbol, a symbol that the woman is taken.
Hikigaya-kun has already used this technique once.
If Haruno felt annoyed by being pursued, then even if it was difficult for her to refuse, as long as she put the ring on her finger, they should understand.
So, method of saving... no, saving yourself is very simple.
Just put the ring on it, no matter if you have a real boyfriend and are really getting married or it's a fake marriage.
The can ring fell in front of Haruno.
She grabbed it and put it on the ring finger of her right hand.
"This is really a good idea, but..." But she suddenly took off silver-white can ring from her ring finger.
"It's just that, I still don't want to be constrained. Besides, although it's annoying, isn't it nice to be pursued by someone?" Yukinoshita Haruno smiled, and there seemed to be a smile in her eyes.
So, this sentence comes completely from the heart.
In other words, being pursued is not something she hates. She even likes to see opposite sex fighting for her, right?
This woman is horrible.
But she also has capital.
She has excellent looks and is the pro version of Kushida-chan in terms of cuteness, and her family background also gives her extra points.
The Yukinoshita family is a very prestigious family in Chiba Prefecture.
Her father is a local councilor and her mother runs a construction company.
Yukinoshita Haruno is a recognized eldest lady-like figure.
It would be an extremely glorious thing to establish a relationship with such a person, and it would also be something that one does not have to struggle with.
So, many people pursued her.
Whether it was because of her looks, the outward image she put on, or her family background, many people were pursuing her.
There are actually no truly successful people.
Because she is Yukinoshita Haruno, the one who will inherit the Yukinoshita family, her marriage is involuntary and she cannot be with whoever she wants.
But it is ultimately determined by interests, marrying someone she may not like but who poses no threat to the family.
This is her fate as the eldest daughter and older sister of Yukinoshita Yukino.
Haruno actually knew it all along in her heart. Knowing that nothing will come of it.
Perhaps it is because she knows this that she allows herself to be pursued on purpose, but this also causes the pursuers to fight with each other.
It's a way to vent.
It was just a vent of inner revenge against her life which had already been planned and determined.
"I have already pretended to be liked by everyone, and there is nothing wrong with being pursued by them. Therefore, there is no need to use a ring to disguise myself."
So, being pursued is really just a matter of her making her happy.
Her heart had long been dyed black.
"...."
These words left Hachiman silent, he doesn't understand girls at all.
