"Yui Yuigahama – Nice Pushover Girl."
"Yui Yuigahama grew up in a ***** household. Her father died in an accident when she was in middle school. She grew up to be ***** as to get rid of the ***** even though her mother *****. She has developed her ***** to the point of *****. Now as a student at Sobu High *****. She loves ***** and her hobbies include *****, *****, *****, *****. She dislikes *****, *****, *****."
Oh… Her father…
Damn… I didn't expect that… I kinda regret checking her backstory even though it's necessary for me to form a plan to conquer her. Also, this looks like a really important detail that should have been locked like Sensei and Yukinoshita.
Oh right. She is a nice girl. Well, this will be lots of fun since I obviously love nice girls.
Hell no. I hate nice girls.
Anyway, does this mean that the information will be gradually unlocked after passing the 10 marks? She is at a 15 so it's not like it doesn't have any base but I need more evidence.
I idly tap on the counter in front of me from my seat while watching Yukinoshita and Yuigahama baking cookies… Both of them look good wearing the apron…
…Did I just really think –
"Hikki! We're done~!"
I blink as I see both Yuigahama and Yukinoshita placing down their tray in front of me, "Now, it is your turn to make yourself useful, Hikigaya-kun." The latter slowly takes off her mittens then slowly untie her apron.
"Like yeah, go on, taste it Hikki!" Yuigahama follows her example while excitedly talking. Reminds me of a golden retriever wagging its tail while asking for praise.
I look down and compare the 2 trays, 1 holding chocolate cookies that you can find in a bakery while the other 1… Burnt. So burnt. What temperature did you put it?! Both of you finished at the same time!
"…Yuigahama –"
My mouth clamp shut all of a sudden, as if an invisible force blocking my mouth, then I see the boxes appearing while the world comes to a stop once again.
"A – I thought you were baking cookies, not charcoal? Are you planning to kill me by food poisoning, you bitch?"
"B – your cookies look very good, just like you."
"C – how about I eat you instead?"
…You know, I am really tempted to go with C. Really. But then I remember that I will get sent to a mental asylum in a straight jacket and I won't be able to protect Komachi.
…If only I got 1 more coin. I had already found 4 coins on our way here but I couldn't find the last one no matter where I searched. I even opened up all of the cabinets here yet not a single coin! The fridge, the oven – both of them looked at me weirdly but I didn't care! – hell even the floor and the narrow gaps!
"…No use regretting it… Just… Just pick option B and hope that my stomach can handle her cookies… Well it should after eating all of the rejects but…"
I loudly sigh as I repeatedly look at Yuigahama's cookies and the option B box while my finger hovers over it. Come on, just press the box and eat the cookies! All for Komachi!
Time resumes and the familiar involuntary action plays out, "your cookies look very good, just like you."
Ahhhhhh I can feel my cheeks warming up and my face cringing after saying those cursed words. Please just knock me out right now!
"E-eh?" Yuigahama squeaks out with her cheeks reddening as she looks away from me while Yukinoshita narrows her eyes at me.
"…Hikigaya-kun, your eyes aren't rotten to the point that charcoal looks good, right? Or maybe you are experiencing some sort of mental illness that requires you to be at a hospital?"
"Very funny, Yukinoshita-san. Isn't it bad of you to judge an object by its looks? Who knows, maybe her cookies actually taste delicious?"
Her eyes slightly widen at my words, though I don't know why, maybe she didn't expect me to fight back? Well, news flash! I am not going to just take your words like a damn sponge without putting up a fight unlike before!
"Indeed, it is unbecoming of me to judge the looks of an object that clearly represents what has happened to it, especially this black colored cookie. Why, Hikigaya-kun should finish it all since his rotten eyes can see the beauty in objects, right?"
"…Aren't you putting too many details that I didn't say?"
"Why, what are you saying, Hikigaya-kun? I am merely repeating what you had said since I interpreted it that way."
…Holy shit she holds a grudge and why are you looking at her with sparkly eyes?! She is a venomous Ice Queen that spews out poison like a machine gun! But this just works in my favor to increase my favorability with them!
"Alright. But, in exchange, you are going to eat the cookies that I bake."
…Oi. What's up with staring at me like I told the most absurd joke? Both of you are going to make me cry, you know?! Boys can learn how to bake and cook!
"…I find that highly unbelievable but we will know for sure after seeing your… Baking skills. But for now, please eat the delicious cookies, Hikigaya-kun."
Before I could argue with her to let me bake first, Yuigahama chimes in, "Yukinon, like you too taste my cookies!"
Yukinoshita flinches, "E-eh? Oh, I am fine with eating my own cookies, Yuigahama-san. Also, if I may ask, what did you call me?"
"Awww~ like please? Just eat one cookie, Yukinon~!"
Yes yes go for it Yuigahama! If she eats 1 that means 1 less for me! Oooo that sad puppy eyes are lethal! Look, I can see the Ice Queen is wavering! Keep it up!
"A-alright… Also, please do not call me Yukinon…"
"Awww~ but like why not? Yukinon sounds cute, just like Hikki!"
"Hikki/Yukinon does not sound cute!"
Both me and Yukinoshita shout at the same time, prompting us to glance at each other with a glare before turning to look at the one responsible for this mess.
Said responsible is holding up her tray to us.
Well. Forgive me, stomach.
I tentatively pick one of the charcoal, though accidentally brush against Yukinoshita's finger, prompting her to flinch and drop the charcoal that she was holding.
She glares at me but doesn't say anything, merely going back to picking up the dropped charcoal. Well damn, I was kinda hoping that you would start an argument and I say something, you say something then all 3 of us forget about the charcoal.
I close my eyes then pop the cookie right into my mouth. Why? Because I found out that it's better to stuff this kind of stuff into the mouth rather than eating little by little.
"…Very good for your first try, Yuigahama-san." I slowly give a thumbs up at her while ignoring the burnt aftertaste engulfing my mouth. Oh and the stomach rumbling.
"…You need more work. Lots of work." Yukinoshita glares at me then slowly put her hand on her stomach.
Yuigahama, seeing our reaction, hesitantly scratches her back head, "Ahaha, of course, like I will make the perfect cookies so that I can like give it to him!"
"Y-yes… Now, please excuse me…" Yukinoshita quickly runs out of the room while both me and Yuigahama awkwardly look at her.
"…Well. Let me just go bake those cookies…"
"Oooo~! Like let me help, Hikki!"
"…Just watch and focus on how I do it."

A/N
Welp, this'll be my last chapter that I'll do for now since I won't have my laptop with me for the weekend. Also, if anybody want to say hello to me during cf, I'll be wandering around for the whole day on saturday but only for a while on sunday. I'll be wearing a black bag, black cap, and a world of warship tag that I got during AMG, oh yeah and glasses that got its middle part chipped a bit. Anyway, on to the comments!
Godzilla is the goat - *shrug with a lazy smile* another drop added to the ocean
eightmanantartica2428 - lol, don't worry, I am planning to make an omake on that
CrazyxEnigma - yep, that why there won't be much mercy from me when it comes to them. And yeah it will tip him off and hopefull you will find my changes to make sense
Perfectcell69 - there is a reason for that and her profile has a hint to explain why
Wicked.A - yeah, was tempted to do that but a new plan came to mind and here we are
Deathenglegamers1144 - then please help cure my various illness plaguing me, ranging from the mental ones (insomnia, depression, hallucinations) to the physical (coughing up blood, throat suddenly constricting to the point I can't breathe). Then I can put more hours into writing like a year ago even though it took a few days. Days where I had the confidence to still be alive.
