Chapter 4: The Start of Springtime of Youth for Hikigaya Hachiman?
AN: That Omake surely is a twist right? Well, sorry but that's just an extra, not part of the story. Who knows, maybe we'll get some SECRET AGENTS Yumiko and Hachiman fanfic.
Anyway, enjoy this one!
P.S: If this chapter is a bit edgy, blame MCR for their edgy songs.
Chapter Start!
(Miura Yumiko's Diary, 7th Edition, Page 98)
Diary-chan,
I never thought I will see the day that Hikio will look so determined. His face filled with determination makes him cute? I don't know why I'm writing this, but what happened earlier was one of the things I never expected will happen.
I wish that tomorrow, I'll see Hayato's face like that. A face full of determination is very much a good thing to see, as long as it doesn't look creepy.
Also, Hikio gave me a plushie! I know that it's for Komachi originally, but since he got two which looks so magically and so illogical, he gave one to me. And what's with me cheering for him?! I guess it goes back to his determined face. Seriously, the look he had will make you cheer for him too. Hayato better win me a plushie too, to make it even!
Goodnight Diary-chan!
(Monday Morning, Hikigaya Residence, Hachiman's POV)
"Onii-chan! Wake up! You'll be late for school!" I heard my little sister say. Well, your plan to prank my my dear imouto, have failed already. I've already known beforehand that this day is the start of Spring break. Therefore, any attempts for you to prank me is already foiled.
Perhaps my imouto just doesn't know that it's our spring break? Certainly not! Our schedule is pretty much the same. So I won't give you the benefit of the doubt, my dear imouto.
"Trying to prank your brother? That's negative on Komachi points." When she heard it, she shouted so loud that I think our neighbors heard someone screaming murder. Oi, stop it!
Well, there goes my sleep.
"That's unfair Onii-chan! Maybe I should've just woke you up for other reason then." She started thinking for an alternate reason. "How about because Komachi wanted to go out with her dear brother, that she woke him up?"
"Why would we go out though? Nothing interesting is happening to make me go out."
"But Onii-chan, it's the start of Spring Break! Mom and Dad said we should get new clothes every spring!" For whatever reason, our parents accompany us when spring break starts, maybe because clothes are cheaper since new designs goes on shelves in spring? That's my thought. This time, our parents just left us cash to buy clothes.
"Alright, let's head out before ten." With that, Komachi shouts in joy.
(9:53)
"Komachi! Let's go!" I said to her, since she's being slow again. She knows that I know that she's doing it on purpose, but i still remind her anyway. With a loud "Hai!" Me and my little sister heads out to the mall.
"Onii-chan! Where should we go first?!" It's hard dealing with Komachi, since she's always full of energy. It's like she's the reason why I'm lazy, she's sucking out the energy from me.
"You choose. You're the one who's going to benefit from this after all." I heard her whisper "Mou, Onii-chan is such a smartass." Before dragging me to the nearest clothing store.
"Onii-chan! How do I look?" Komachi, who's wearing a red plaid shirt, denim jeans, and a cowboy hat. Why do this remind me of something? "Ride, 'till I can't no more~!" Komachi then starts imitating a cowboy riding a horse. "How about that Onii-chan, how's my Old town road(1) game!?"
"That looked seriously stupid Komachi. You should refrain from browsing on western stuff." This makes her dejected, looking like her soul left her body.
"That's low on points, Gomi-chan." Now that's unfair Komachi, you can't do it to your beloved brother! Komachi throws me some clothes, before saying that I should check it out. Being a good brother, I followed her instructions and went to the changing room.
Well here comes the dilemma. All of them are occupied? I'm basing my reason due to the fact that the curtains are closed. Making me believe they're occupied. What if some of them are not? I better take a look. Opening the first curtain, I'm already regretting my decision.
For a Wild Miura and Yuna appeared! With Miura on her undershirt!
Slow motion, a phenomenon always intertwined with anime protagonists, talking while doing something. And I'm currently feeling it.
Or is it because of the silence?
"Hachi-nii-san?" The question from her little sister breaks the silent standoff, and then comes a very loud scream, courtesy of Miura.
Oh, did I forget to mention that the scream is bundled with a mean right hook? I guess me getting sucker punched forgot.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Miura, after wearing her original blouse, shouted again.
"Well... I was checking the cubicles if some were unoccupied, and clearly I get unlucky the first try. Thank heavens it was someone I know."
"Why would you do that in the first place!?" She asked another question. She looks at me like how a predator looks at a prey, full of malicious intent. "They are closed for a reason, idiot!"
"Well sorry, I thought some cubicle would be empty! You don't know if someone tries to prank others by closing the curtains of empty cubicles." Although my reason is valid, I know this doesn't exempt me from the fact that I opened hers.
"Next time, try to ask first!" She shouted. Cue Komachi, who has more clothes for me. "Onii-chan, why are you taking so-" she spots Miura and Yuna. "I see. Onii-chan, is she Yumiko-san?" I heard from my imouto.
"Yes, yes she is, and she has a mean right hook." I rubbed my cheek after answering her question.
"Nice to meet you Yumiko-san! Onii-chan has told me about you! And nice to meet you as well, Yuna-chan!" She then shakes both of the Miura's hands, signifying that they're friends now.
"Hachi-nii-san, can you help me pick some clothes?" Yuna then does something that strikes my weakness: puppy dog eyes. With me being unable to resist it's charms, it made me bumble out that it should be Komachi that she asks for help. Komachi just nodded in excitement. After my little sister dragged Miura's little sister, this left us to a very awkward atmosphere.
"Wow, your sister is an extrovert, unlike you." Miura voices her observation. "Seriously, she just drags Yuna, even though they just met." Then Miura voices her annoyance. "I don't buy your reasoning Hikio, you sound like a pervert that wanted to peek."
"Look Miura, it's not my intention to look, it was an honest accident, I swear." Praying that she decides to drop it for now, I turned around.
"Well I'll forgive you, but on one condition..." This made me turn around to face her. Thank you rom com gods for helping me out, even if you're the very reason this happened. "You'll have to give me your opinion about the clothes I'll wear."
That doesn't seem so bad, for a punishment that is.
"Alright, can you please step outside first? I'll try this clothes Komachi wanted me to try on." Miura obediently step out. Then I heard her say she'll grab some clothes to wear.
(Miura's POV)
That was so embarrassing! But I feel bad for punching Hikio because of my impulse. No, Hikio deserved that punch, he basically opened the curtain without asking first. Sigh stop thinking too much about it Yumiko, and pick some clothes that will certainly amaze Hikio.
Why do I want to amaze that creep in the first place?
(Hachiman's POV)
My life feels like a romantic comedy right now, curse you romcom gods! After trying out the clothes, I can't say that it's bad, Komachi really knows what to pick.
Taking a look at the mirror, the white longsleeve underneath a black vest makes me look a bit formal, but still radiates a very cool appearance. Sasuga Imouto!(2)
"Hikio, are you done? I want to try something." I heard Miura's voice outside. Since she sounded like she's in a hurry, I guess I should change back to my clothes later. "Why did you take too long to get out?"
"Don't get angry for something you women do all the time." This earned me an annoyed huff, before she entered the cubicle. Honestly, what takes them so long inside?
"Hachi-nii-san! How do I look?" Yuna, who was on the other cubicle with my imouto, asked. Turning around to look at her, Yuna looked cute. She's wearing a green dress that matches her emerald eyes, with a yellow ribbon that is the same color as her hair.
"You look cute. Not as cute as Komachi though." This made the little kid pout. And I think Komachi smiled proudly for a moment?
"I'm impressed Onii-chan, even with an extremely cute Yuna-chan here, you still choose me! That's a lot of Hachiman points for you!" Thank you for that generous reward imouto, your Onii-chan will continue to do you proud!
"Of course, you're the world's cutest, after all."
"That's only true when you're a siscon, creep." Miura's voice made us all look at her.
And Miura looked gorgeous. She is wearing a wedding gown? "Why are you wearing a wedding gown!?" Isn't wearing a gown bad? Especially if you're not getting married? Are you sure you wanted to ruin your chances with that damn faker?
"W-well, I just wanted to know your thoughts that's all! And don't jinx my chances with Hayato! I know you're thinking about it!" What an esper! I know I didn't think out loud this time. This woman is scaring me more and more.
"Yumiko-san, you look good in a wedding gown! And Onii-chan being in a semi formal... You look like a couple!" Komachi quipping something like that taken me aback. Do you seriously see your brother with Miura? Looking at the woman in question, she just nodded while blushing madly.
With Miura blushing, Komachi was able to snap a quick photo of us two.
"Was that necessary?" I asked. Komachi just smiled at me with her toothy grin. Did Miura notice the stunt Komachi pulled?
"T-thanks for the compliment Komachi-san." Was all she could utter. I guess she didn't. "That doesn't mean I'll marry you Hikio! Not by a long shot!" Woman, even for someone like me, that still hurts!
"Whatever, you only had eyes for Hayama anyway."
"T-that's right! Hayato is the best after all!" Did she just stutter? Why would you hesitate if you're damn sure that faker is the one?
"I vote for Hachi-nii-san!" Thanks for the support little Miura, but if your sister wanted to get married to Hayama, then we all could just watch.
"I vote for my Onii-chan too!" Komachi decided to side with Yuna this time.
"You won't change her mind." I said to the two, to which they just smiled nervously. "Komachi, you hungry?" To which she replied by saying yes. "Where do you want to eat?"
"Something Italian!" Komachi exclaimed. Is my love for Saize present in Komachi's veins too? "Alright, let's go."
"Hachi-nii-san! Can we join you guys? I'm hungry as well!" With puppy dog eyes? You know that's just unfair Yuna.
"Yuna! Don't impose on them too much!" Miura said to her little sister.
"But Onee-san, I'm hungry!"
"It's okay Yumiko-san! You and Yuna are always going to be welcome to join us!" Komachi reassured the older Miura, earning a yay! From the younger.
"W-well if you say so..." Miura meekly answered.
"It's the best I could do for my Onii-chan's future wife." Did Komachi really just whisper that loudly?
"Hikio... Are you planning on taking us to Saize?" Why is Miura having a menacing aura behind her? Does she not want it there? "Sigh Let's go somewhere else. I have a place in mind."
"Alright. You lead." It's all that I can do with this woman. Not that it matters anyway.
"Let's go!" Her smile looks cute to me.
(Café La'mour)
"Onii-chan! This feels like Saize! Are you sure we're not at Saize?" Komachi asked. I guess this place feels like Saize too, but more comfortable.
"Yes, we're not at Saize Komachi."
"Hachi-nii-san, I told you that you and Onee-san looks like a couple." Yuna said, making me remember what happened earlier.
(Short Flashback)
"Welcome sir, Ma'am! Table for four I presume?" The bubbly waiter asked.
"Yes." Miura replied. The waiter just smiled and then lead us to the table.
"Enjoy your family lunch!" The manager quipped. To which Miura blushed beet red.
"We're not like that. She's a classmate from school." I cleared the misunderstanding in the waiter's head.
"But you look like a couple!" He exclaimed.
"Oh sir waiter, they're going to be! Let's just give them time!" Komachi fueled the fire. I turned to look at Miura, and she's still silent and still flushed red.
"Oh I can't wait for that!" The waiter, Komachi, and Yuna just laughed.
(Flashback End)
Meanwhile, Miura's head is on the table. "Don't remind us about that Yuna, I'll die embarrassed!" I guess even the fire queen gets embarrassed too.
"Okay Onee-chan, but that's because you asked!"
"Onii-chan, why are you removing your tomatoes?" You already know the reason Komachi.
"Hoh, so Hikio doesn't like his tomatoes?" It seems like Miura is goading me. I won't lose to you woman of fire!
"But Nee-san, like you're the to talk. You hate spicy food right?" An unexpected ally came in the form of Yuna, who looks like more than happy to help. Miura just looked away, muttering things along the line that her taste buds are far more sensitive.
"Hoh, so the great fire queen of Sobu can't handle fire? Quite ironic." Looks like taunting her is effective.
"You're on! Eat the tomatoes then I'll put some hot sauce on this pizza!"
"Go Hachi-nii-san! Show Yumi-nee you can do it!" Alright, here goes nothing. Putting the red monstrosity on my mouth, then chewing it really slowly. The texture it has, is just something I don't like. But for the sake of it, I guess I'll have to suck it up. So after chewing some more, I finished the said fruit.
"Yay! Good job Onii-chan!" Komachi smiled. If Komachi always smiled like this when I eat tomatoes, then I'll gladly eat them all.
"You looked like constipated eating that tomato Hachi-nii-san." No need for that comment Yuna, stop ruining my awesome moment.
"Your turn, fire queen." Miura then grabs the hot sauce, pours it gently into the pizza slice she's eating, then she slowly took a bite.
She looks like she's going to barf out, judging from the way she chews it. She's red, is it from the hot sauce? It looks...
Surprisingly cute, like a blushing Miura.
"I've done it!" Miura smiled triumphantly, after finishing the whole slice.
"Are you okay Miura-san? You look red." How sweet of Komachi to worry about her. Consider yourself lucky, Miura!
"I'm fine, it's from the spiciness, it'll subside later." Miura reassured my imouto. Without much to talk about, we continued to eat in peace.
So after the lunch, we continued to shop for clothes. And I was treated to a very nice sight of Miura in every type of clothes you could think of. Honestly, why isn't she a supermodel?
Look at me praising her. What can I do, I'm just speaking the truth.
Bidding farewell, Komachi and I went straight home. With Komachi thanking me before going to bed.
I know you have my back bed-chan! I jumped to my bed, and my bed welcomed me to sleep. On days like this, bed-chan is the best!
(1) Just search it on YouTube, then you'll get the idea on how Komachi looked.
(2) translates to: "As expected of my little sister"
