Chapter 549: Yukinoshita: “Can you go out with me?”

As it was the time for the Service Club, neither Shishio nor Hikigaya was in a hurry. They sat on the bench while enjoying the ice cream. However, they somehow understood the feeling of those salarymen who smoked together in the smoking room. Even though they didn’t smoke, the ice cream in their hands was like a brightly lit cigarette.

As for which one was healthier, it was hard to decide since if a cigarette caused damage to the lungs, then an ice cream would damage the entire body.

‘I guess too much has always been bad, huh?’ Still, Shishio didn’t think the number of his girlfriends was too much since he often heard that there were many rich people who had one lover in every town in the country.

Compared to such people, he was nothing, right?

“I have always wanted to ask for a while, but is that flavor really good?” Hikigaya asked while eating his chocolate-flavored ice cream. He knew Shishio had always bought mint-flavored ice cream, so he wondered whether it was good or not.

“It depends on each person. It’s like natto. Do you think everyone likes natto?” Shishio answered simply.

“..That’s true.” Hikigaya nodded and thought this guy had always been wise since Shishio had always given him an example that was easy to understand.

Natto is a staple of Japanese food.

Yet Shishio didn’t like it at all since it was a rotten bean. It was all sticky and smelly, so wasn’t it natural for him not to like it? Yet many people had a few loose screws on their heads and thought this was a delicacy.

“..” Hikigaya was in silence, and for the first time, he saw someone could hate natto so much.

“Aside from talking about natto, eating ice cream, and strange things here, don’t you forget that you still have a club to attend? Or are you two planning to skip?”

This voice quickly attracted them, and they were dumbfounded when they saw who this person was.

Yukinoshita Yukino.

However, Shishio only smiled and said, “Calm down, Senpai. How about I treat you to ice cream?”

Yukinoshita stared at Shishio, condescending, but he only smiled, which made her slightly flustered. However, she was good at masking her emotion, so she let out a sigh and said, “Give me the strawberry one.”

“Yes, yes.”

After taking the ice cream, the three sat next to each other while Shishio sat in the middle.

Yet Hikigaya was confused, wondering what was wrong with their situation at that moment. After all, the three of them just enjoyed ice cream here like this. Also, it might be his imagination, but he felt they missed something.

“..How was Izu?” Yukinoshita suddenly asked.

“It’s good. Do you want to see the photos?” Shishio asked.

“Can I?” Yukinoshita hesitated.

“Why not? However, you should know the consequences, right?”

“Consequences?”

“Well, you might feel envious.”

Yukinoshita snorted and said, “I’m not such a small person who feels such an emotion.”

“Is that so?” Shishio was quite doubtful, but he showed the photos he had taken during his trip to Izu. After all, everyone on the Sakurasou, or even Usa, who didn’t join their trip showed regretful and envious expressions since the trip on the Izu was much more fun!

“Hikigaya-senpai, do you want to see it too?”

“Ah, uh, is that okay?” Hikigaya was startled and wasn’t used to such an invitation since he had gotten used to being left out.

“Well, you can’t see some photos, though,” Shishio said.

“What kind of photos?” Hikigaya asked curiously.

“It’s an erotic photo,” Shisho said simply.

“....” Hikigaya.

Shishio coughed and said, “I was joking, but I took a photo of many girls in bikinis, so you shouldn’t see them.” He quickly explained that the gaze from Yukinoshita started to hurt him.

“Bikinis?” Yukinoshita blushed and asked, “Did you get permission to take such a photo, you peeping tom?”

“Don’t make such a slander. And they’re my girlfriends. What’s wrong with taking their pictures anyway?” Shishio had even taken a video during their intercourse, so he felt a bikini photo was nothing.

However, Hikigaya was silent and wondered whether it was good for him to know about this matter. He also wondered whether Shishio didn’t care if he was about to expose this matter. Yet somehow, he also understood where Shishio’s confidence came from, which made him slightly annoyed. After all, he didn’t have a friend, so to whom could he share this matter?

Anyway, the three looked at the photos of his trip on Izu.

Whether it was Yukinoshita or Hikigiya, there was one emotion that welled up in their heart.

Envious.

They really felt envious at that moment.

Izu was beautiful, but his photography skill made this place even more captivating.

Then, when it was time for the photos of the bikini, Hikigaya was pushed to the side.

“....” Hikigaya.

However, Hikigaya didn’t say anything and just sullenly looked away since it wasn’t that he wanted to look at the photos.

Definitely.

Alright?

On the other hand, Yukinoshita looked at the photos normally, but she must admit that she not only felt envious of the trip. She also felt slightly frustrated when she saw the growth of the girls in the photos.

Yukinoshita looked at her chest but sighed. However, she raised her eyebrow when she saw a photo of Miu and Shishio hugging each other with a happy smile. Miu’s chest wasn’t that different from hers, yet this might be the most uncomfortable photo she had ever seen.

“Enough?”

“It’s okay. I have seen enough.” Yukinoshita nodded and continued to eat her ice cream silently, wondering what was wrong with her.

Was she jealous because she wasn’t invited?

Yet she also knew she couldn’t join the trip, considering it was held by the literature club.

Should they also prepare for a trip?

Yukinoshita felt it wasn’t bad, but she knew there was something that they had to do.

“Hey, did you make her angry?” Hikigaya asked in a whisper.

“Shhh..” Shishio told Hikigaya to be quiet.

“Okay, there’s something that I want to talk with you two about,” Yukinoshita said, stopping their secret interaction.

“What’s wrong?” Shishio asked.

Hikigaya also looked at Yukinoshita curiously.

“Did you two know about Yuigahama-san’s birthday?” Yukinoshita asked.

“No.” 2x

The two answered at the same time. After all, they had never questioned Yui’s birthday.

While Yukinoshita didn’t feel surprised by Hikigaya, she was surprised to see that Shishio didn’t seem to know about Yui’s birthday.

“I might not know about Yui-senpai’s birthday, but I know about your birthday, Senpai.” Shishio smiled and asked, “Should we celebrate it together?”

“..” Yukinoshita stared at Shishio in a daze.

“...” Hikigaya closed his eyes and felt that someone had already fallen.

“Cough! Cough!” Yukinoshita coughed, trying to hide her embarrassment, and said with a slightly higher-pitched voice, “Enough. Let’s talk about Yui’s birthday first.”

“Okay.” Shishio nodded and wondered whether he could visit Yui’s home.

Ah, it wasn’t that he was interested in Yui, but he was curious about her parents, wondering what kind of parents had worked hard to nurture such a beautiful girl, especially her mother. As for her father, he knew that he was busy working, so he didn’t intend to bother him.

‘Oh, what a kind boy you are.’ Shishio thought.

“So, is this the reason why you came to us?” Hikigaya asked since he knew it was quite unnatural for Yukinoshita to come to this place. While he didn’t say it, he had already made this place his turf. When he was eating lunch, he also stayed in this place. After all, the space in this place was quite nice. It was also quiet, and no one bothered him, making it a perfect place to enjoy his lunch.

“Yes.” Yukinoshita nodded.

“So, did you ask about her birthday when you were with her?” Shishio asked since he had never asked about Yui’s birthday, and he also couldn’t imagine how Yukinoshita would ask about someone else’s birthday either.

“No.”

“....” 2x

“But there are 0618 on her email address, so her birthday should be around that time,” Yukinoshita said, full of conviction.

“......” 2x

“What if you’re wrong?” Shishio asked.

“No, I am not wrong,” Yukinoshita said with confidence.

“....” 2x

“How about we ask her directly?” Shishio asked after a moment of hesitation.

Yukinoshita stared at Shishio and asked, “Shishio-kun, I have wanted to ask for a while, but did you doubt me?”

“....” Hikigaya looked away, feeling that the weather was nice today.

Yet..historical

“Yes.”

“......” Hikigaya and Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita pouted then said, “If you ask her directly, it won’t be a surprise. You should believe in me.”

“You know, I have a way to ask for her birthday without even asking Yui-senpai,” Shishio said.

“How?” Yukinoshita looked at Shishio as if she was looking at him as a joke.

Shishio didn’t say much and just took his phone. He looked at his contact, then called this person. He waited for a while, then said, “Ah, Hina-senpai, can I ask you something?”

“Oh? What’s wrong, Shishio-kun?”

“..” Yukinoshita and Hikigaya.

“It’s June 18th. You’re right,” Shishio said while looking at Yukinoshita.

“Right?” Yukinoshita showed her haughty side.

“....” Shishio and Hikigaya.

Still, Shishio talked with Ebina for a while.

“Are you going to celebrate Yui’s party?”

“That’s right. I am going to celebrate it with the members of the Service Club.”

“Ah, I see..” Ebina thought for a while, then asked, “If possible, can you ask whether we can join your celebration?”

“Us?”

“It’s Yumiko and me. Is that okay?”

“I’ll ask Yukino-senpai first.”

Shishio ended the call after thanking Hina Ebina. He then looked at Yukinoshita and asked, “You have heard it, right? What do you think?”

Hikigaya didn’t say anything since he felt this had nothing to do with him.

On the other hand, Yukinoshita thought for a moment and nodded. “Okay, I don’t see a problem with it.”

“Then, the matter is settled.”

Everyone had decided to set up a birthday party for Yui, so all they had to do was make preparations.

“I wonder what I should give her,” Shishio murmured.

“She’s kind of stupid, so you should give something like that?” Hikigaya suddenly said.

“..I’ll tell this to Yui-senpai.”

“I’m sorry. Please don’t tell her,” Hikigaya apologized in the fastest manner.

Still, it was time for them to go to the club since if they walked too long, Yui might doubt what they were doing.

However, before Shishio walked, the hem of his shirt was pulled by Yukinoshita. “Senpai?”

“Shishio-kun, can you go out with me?” Yukinoshita asked with blush and some nervousness on her face.

“......”

Shishio nodded since he must admit this girl was cute.
