(4)The Hikigayas Sunday Outing
Let's get right to it!
*******************************Beginning Of Chapter************************
*As Komachi moves toward the kitchen, she sees on the table her oni-chan's signature dish, Chicken Curry with rice.*
*The plates were set across from each other, and Hachiman had his back turned, at the sink to wash up.*
"Onii- Chan! The food looks great!" Exclaims Komachi, as she sits down.
"I hope it's to your liking, it is a bit plain but we did have a lot to eat today." He explains.
"Mm, good call." She responded.
* Hachiman finishes washing up, and sits across from Komachi.*
*He smiles at her, and she smiles back then both begin to eat and later talk.*
"So what are parts of history are you concerned with?" He asks
"Ah, well three portions... 20th Century conflicts, Early Ancient Empires, and Chinese Dynastic History is what id like to study today." She states.
"You're learning that this early?" He Asks with widening eyes.
"Uh... yea, though it isn't as imposing as it sounds... I think." She says as she stares at her food.
"Well, after were done eating, you feel up for it?" He inquires.
"Sure, we can study in your room!" She adds
"Sur- wait, why my room?" He asks
"Because your room isn't next to the loud neighbors in the house over."
And because I want to be in your room.
"Fair enough, my desk is cleared anyway." Hachiman states.
*The two continued to eat, and eventually finished.*
"Okay then, ill just finish clean dishes, and we can get started in a moment." He states.
"I can help you clean oni-chan." She said.
" no, no, I can mange, just relax for a bit and ill handle this."
*She brings the dishes over, then stands near the dish rack with a dry towel.*
"I can at least dry, its the least I can do, anyway weren't you the one that says to work is to lose?" She smirks.
"Well, you got me there... fine twice the hands make less work for me.
"That's the spirt! Well sort of.." she giggles.
*The next thirty minutes were spent, cleaning a week's worth of dishes.*
"Well thanks again." He states and he ruffles her hair.
"Mou, your hand is still wet."
"Oops, my bad." He then bonks his head, winks and then says
Teehee.
"Pfff Hahaha" Komachi breaks out laughing.
"Alright, alright geez, don't have a heart attack." He responds to her behavior.
"Right, Right sorry." She says.
"Well, shall we head up?" She adds
"Sure, ill be waiting, as you get your materials." He says.
"Yep, all be right in." And with that, they both departed.
*Hachiman went to his room, to remove the clutter from his floor, as Komachi went to get her study materials.*
* Komachi enters Hachiman's room and sees his motion for her to set down at his desk.*
*She sees the picture of them off to the right, he must have just placed it.. and then he kneels to the left of her.*
*She takes out the guides, notes, handouts, etc and he takes a look.*
"So what do you want to start with.?" He asks
*She eyes the text of 20th Century Conflicts.*
"Here, and hear are some sample questions, oh and feel free to make some up." She states to him.
"Okay... The Russo-Japanese war ended with what treaty?"
"Um... The Treaty Of. Concord? "
"No"
"Treaty of Manchester"
"No"
"Dartmouth"
"No.. give up?"
"Yes"
"It was the Treaty Of Portsmouth in 1905"
"OH" she facepalms
"Like another one?"
"Yes"
"The Ottoman Empire entered the First World War in what side and year?"
"1914 entente"
"No"
"1914 Central?"
"No"
"1915 Entente?"
"No, and are you guessing?"
"No... 1915 central."
"Yes... but that took way too many tries." Hachiman counters
"I'm lacking motivation I guess." Komachi states.
"Well, how are you going to get motivated? Grades are important if you want to get into a good highschool." He lectures Komachi.
"Hm... I know how about I get to ask you for something that you have to do?" She states.
This is rather cheap, but ill take it... She thought with conviction.
"Hm... Alright, Komachi Ill do it, if you can get ten questions right for each subject." He offers
"For three subjects, three requests." She counters.
"... Deal" after consideration, he agrees.
"Give me ten minutes oni-Chan."
"Alright, ill just take up a drink from the fridge for ya, ill be back."
"Okay then" she states.
*After some time, Hachiman returns with some brewed barley tea, and they both take a drink before they begin.*
"Are you ready?"
"Yep!"
"Well start with 20th Century."
"Who was the leader of Republican China during the Second Sino-Japanese war?."
"Chiang Kai Shek."
"The battle Of Khalin Gol was in what year l?"
"1937"
"The Battle Of Jutland was in what conflict between what nations?"
"Empire Of Germany and Britain, world war one."
*And so they continued on until they reached ten.*
"How'd I do," she asked
"Full hundred, so... what would you like?"
"I'll tell you after the other two sections."
"Okay, up next is Ancient Empires."
*And so she answered all ten correctly, and then ten more for the other category.*
"Well, I guess that deal really did motivate you, and here I thought you were joking." He chuckled
"No joke oni-chan, and here is the first request!"
"And it is...?"
"Just to watch a horror movie with me this evening, there's one airing thirty minutes from now."
"Why a horror movie?"
"Because my friends recommended it, and I don't want to watch it alone."
"Oh.. well Komachi... I'm not good with those sort of things.."
"You know what the deal was." She smiled
"Ah.. right.. well alright then, let's go downstairs..."
"Yatta! Lets goo!"
*Komachi was recommended to watch the movie by her friends, but she was going to blow it off until she realized she could use this opportunity to spend time with Hachiman and be inconspicuous.*
Got to start small, and build up is what she thought, with her end goal being for Hachiman to get used and enjoy being in close proximity more so than what he's used to with her.
I wonder what she'll ask for next... was crossing the mind of Hachiman.
It's going to be a great night... was what Komachi was thinking of.
*They entered the living room, and Komachi brought out a blanket.*
"Its a bit cold this evening." She reasoned
"Ah" was his response.
*Hachiman laid the right side of the couch, and was leans back deep enough where there was space in front of him.*
*Komachi positioned herself so she was laying in front of Hachiman.*
"Komachi, that's a bit close isn't it?"
"Ah well, I thought you would like to be covered by the blanket as well."
*She pulls the blanket so it covers both her and him up*
"There.. nice and toasty"
*As she was up against him, and the blanket was covering the side of them, it was fair to determine he was quite warm despite the cool temperature.*
"Mhm" what his response.
*As they exited for the living room, and altered their positions, the film was about to begin.*
*The television was turned on just in time to see an announcer state what was playing next.*
"And to continue our American Horror Film Marathon, A Cabin In The Woods{1} Is up next." The announcer stated.
*As Komachi snuggled against him, and moved a bit down so he could see, Hachiman was altering his position so he could better accommodate her.*
*He was a bit uncomfortable but as long as she was he could endure..*
If only she stop moving so much, i can feel every move she makes..

{1} American Horror Comedy.
Also, that took a while, and it was a bit of a struggle to crank out.
I was going to do the three categories with the questions, but that would be long, boring, and a waste of space.
P.S The Anime today is Love Hina, its an older anime but its still sweet albeit ecchi.
The Manga today is Bokutachi wa Benkyo ga Dekinai, a school romantic comedy focused on studies.
The Drama is...
Miss Zombie... Its a film actually.
