Hello, here's the chapter that will put the main problems of the story ! Next chapter will be a chapter for "His and Her Confessions Won't Reach Anyone (Or so they thought)"

It's time to update my other stories !

"So Komachi-chan ! How's it been in Sobu ? Do you like your new school ? Have you made a lot of friends already ?"

"Yup ! I love this school ! I'll be able to annoy my bro' everyday for a year ! And there's Taishi too in my class !"

"Gh ! This snake..."

"Leave him alone already Onii-chan, what would you do anyway ? You can't lift a finger against him or Saki-chan will murder you. Teehee~"

"Hrrmmm..."

"After all, this lump right here does not have enough courage to defend his pride. It would be too much of a hassle for him. Like the bacteria he is, he's just letting himself go with the wind."

"Oï give me a break seriously... I'm already wounded enough by the betrayal of my own blood."

"Gross."

"Siscon."

"That was so creepy Hikki, like seriously gross !"

"Nincompoop Hachiman."

"Tss whatever..." Said Hikigaya, getting up from his chair and walking toward the club's door.

"Heh ? Where are you going bro' ?"

"Gonna go grab a drink..."

With this, Hachiman went out of the room, leaving the three girls stunned at his reaction. It was not in his usual behavior to react like that. He seemed way easier to irritate. He was accustomed to Yukinoshita verbal assaults and Yuigahama calling him a gross creep. It was annoying for him but it was part of their little game. Neither was it Komachi's fault. The loner just felt like being alone like before. He needed some time for himself and a good can of Max Coffee.

Retrieving his beverage after reaching the machine and paying for the metallic object containing the nectar of the gods. A loud noise was heard coming toward Hachiman's direction. A cold chill ran through his spine.

"SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNPPPPPPAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIII !"

"Yo Isshiki..." He said with a deadpanned expression.

"Mou Senpai ! Aren't you happy to see your favorite little Kouhai once again ?"

"Not particularly. Can I go now ?"

"How rude ! Didn't you learn anything from our fake dates ?!" She fumed while pulling hard his sleeve to keep him here.

"Come on Senpai ! I need you for an errand ! Can you be my pack-m-. Could you give me a hand to move some heavy furniture from one room to another ?"

Iroha tried to seduce the heart of Hikigaya by using her sly side and a cute thousand watt smile only herself could do. Visibly, Hachiman wasn't fazed by the comedy in front of him. He even let out a small groan and appeared more and more irritated.

"I said leave me alone ! Grow up a bit Isshiki, you're in your second year, I'm not your slave anymore. Learn to do thing by yourself and stop annoying me with such things." He replied to her with quite the venom.

Pulling his sleeve out of the fox grasp, Hikigaya, walk to nowhere in particular while sipping his coffee and leaving a flabbergasted Kouhai behind him.

"S-Senpai ? Heh ? W-What ?! D-Did I do something I wasn't supposed to do ? I know ! I'll ask Yukinoshita-senpai and Yui-senpai !"

She left the corridor and ran in the club's direction.

Hachiman climbed the stairs and found himself on the school's roof. Finally a breather for his mind. Silence, cool temperature, nobody. Finally he would be able to rest.

Crossing his arms and resting them on the barrier near the edge of the roof, Hikigaya gazed absent-mindedly upon the whole campus. He was clearing his mind from all his worries and the stress he had built since his second year in this school.

"I shouldn't have reacted like this in the club and even more so with Isshiki. I'll excuse myself later. She probably won't talk to me for a bit. But knowing her..." Said Hachiman sighing while imagining Iroha running to the service club to ask why he was like this.

He was in a bad spot. He had to choose between Yukinoshita and Yuigahama from the point of view of Komachi but for him it wasn't that simple. Sure considered them the closest strangers in his life, but was there any romantic feelings from himself ? Yuigahama had already tried to confess but was interrupted thankfully. Yukinoshita is way too proud to admit something like that considering what he assumed to be her past with Hayama. Not that he really knew what happened. There's also Isshiki to take into account. As much as he tries to deny her again and again, he knew that they both got closer and closer to each other. Those fake dates not helping his heart. He was still a hormonal teen. That was already triple the problem. Who will he choose but most importantly. Does he have feelings for any of them ? Hachiman didn't know. There was also this promise to save Yukinoshita one day.

"What are you mumbling to yourself Hikigaya ?"

Surprised but not so much, Hachiman turned his head slightly to see Kawasaki Saki on the water tank. He then redirected his eyes on what wa below him.

"Yo. Nothing to worry about."

"I heard from Taishi that both him and your sister are in the same class. That's kinda nice. They do get along."

"A bit too much..." Groaned Hikigaya.

"Siscon."

"Well yeah, but don't take your anger out on me if Taishi gets rejected by my sister one day, brocon."

"Don't worry I'll just tear your eyes out when you try to touch my brother when they'll get together."

"Aaaah... Whatever."

Saki grinned and decided to get down from her spot. She opened the door and before she climbed down the stairs, she turned around one last time.

"I'll leave you alone here, you seem to need it more than me. And by the way, Kei-chan misses you. I-it would be nice for y-you to come from time to time pick her up with m-me like before."

That almost looks like a date though... Silly me, thinking things like that. She's even scarier than Yukinoshita when it comes to her family. Thought Hikigaya.

What he did not saw because he was facing the void, was the red ears of Kawasaki who disappeared quickly in the building.

Finally alone, he could space out again to his heart content.

"Boring, even the atmosphere is as plain as my day... Wait."

His eyes caught a familiar silhouette in the park, a clumsy girl who's really fond of art and has the look of a delinquent. He couldn't help but grin unconsciously while looking at her drawing slowly and silently. This scene appeased his mind. It was like a hypnosis from his point of view. Watching her do her hobby was calming.

Staring at the scene for too long, he was spotted by the said girl who was drawing the building. She got embarrassed and ran out of sight.

Hachiman then decided to head back to the club, he was now at peace.

Knocking on the door, Hikigaya was authorized access in the room by the president. Opening the door and entering the club, Hachiman was stopped by four worried stares.

"Onii-chan ! Where were you ?! I thought you were never gonna be back !"

"I had things on my mind, I needed a breather. What's with the looks on your face anyway ?"

"Senpai... Are you sure you're alright ? You were really rude back then..."

"Isshiki-san, I don't particularly see any difference with the usual hikigerm-"

"YUKINON ! Enough ! Do you not see that he's fed up of being picked on ?" Yelled Yuigahama out of nowhere.

Everybody look at her with shock written on their face. It was rare for her to say what was on her heart but when she did, everybody could only listen to her without doing anything.

"I-... I don't understand Yuigahama-san... What did I-I do ?"

"You're consistently insulting him everyday and at every possible moment ! Even when it's your little game that only the two of you can play, there's only so much that someone can take ! Leave Hikki alone for a bit would you ?"

Yukinoshita didn't know how to react, she wasn't able to deal with social event like those. Moreover, it was her friend, Yui, who was scolding her. Out of shame and confusion, her cheeks became a tint of pink and she look away, fidgeting with her skirt.

"S-sorry..."

Hachiman could only watch the scene while scratching the back of his head, it was really embarrassing for the ice queen to be reduced to a guilty child by an airhead.

"H-hey Yui-chan, calm down please ! Yukino-chan already understood her error, no need to be that hard on her..."

"Y-yes Yui-chan, don't go overboard..."

"…"

The atmosphere was tense and pretty bad.

"Well, since we're at this point, why not end club for today ? Not like we're gonna go far. Let's cool our heads for today." Said Hachiman, breaking the heavy silence.

"Yes I have to agree with Hikigaya-kun... Let's end things for today. No need to walk with me Yuigahama, I'll go on my own."

"… Fine..."

"S-see you later then." Said a sneaky fox getting her way out.

"Let's go Komachi."

"Aye aye."

Everybody left the clubroom and went their separate way.

Komachi and Hachiman were walking side by side in complete silence. Eventually, his sister broke it.

"Say Onii-chan, why did you leave ?"

"Well duh, I was tired of the assaults."

"Don't lie to me, I know you better than anyone else. You don't care about those kind of things."

«... Can't you tell ?"

"Tell what ?"

"You saw the birth of the conflict back then. That's only going to get worse between the two of them. They can lie all they want and say the one left behind will still be their friend and it won't change anything between us. But... We all know that it's impossible. We're still stuck with this triangle of our and they are already starting to fight. I need to be alone, I need to think. All this is way too bothersome and complicated for me."

"I can't say your wrong for once. I hope it will be alright for the club and the friendship of Yui-chan and Yukino-chan..."

"Hmm. I don't know. They want an answer and I will think hard about it but I don't even know if I have those kind of feelings for them. I don't even know what you feel when you truly love someone."

"Well a lot of people say t hat when you're in love, you get butterfly in the stomach, you get tensed, your thinking is starting to get messy and you do stupid things. That's the general idea I guess."

"Seems awful..."

"But. What I think is that if you find the right person then you will feel natural with said person. You'll be able to spend time naturally together, enjoy each other interests, share interests, have fun. And most of all, you'll never get stressed out or be doubtful. It will be natural. It will be like you're a family..." Said Komachi looking at the distance while trailing off and space out.

"Oï, Hachiman to Komachi, come back."

"Ah ! Sorry !"

"You sure know a lot about love sis', even though you never had a boyfriend. That makes me worried..."

"What are you saying Onii-chan ?! I can get a boyfriend whenever I want !" Said a blushing Komachi, upset by the comment.

"I would prefer you not doing that. At least if you're gonna bring a boyfriend then..."

"Please don't say you'll kill him Gomi-chan..."

"I was gonna say, if one day you bring one home, I hope it's one that I can't kill..."

"Oh, there's not a lot of choice then. But don't worry, Komachi doesn't like anyone !"

"I won't get in your way you know, you're a High School student now. I'm even willing to accept this snake of Taishi if you were to bring him one day... Though I would cry all night afterward."

"Aaaaaaaaahh ! Stop teasing me like that ! It's not like that with him." Said the little fury who started to punch her brother's shoulder.

"I know, I know, I was messing with you."

Komachi pouted and they both walked in a now comfortable silence.
