Although I have always wondered what prompted Hikigaya, who kept shouting "long live the squat at home", to always participate in the activities of the service club very seriously, but now as his partner, I still have to follow this. It seems that I still have no idea about this matter.

A very responsible guy walks into a high-end restaurant like this.

However, in short, although my appearance is not as different as Hikigaya's, which makes me feel like a different person - to be fair, my first reaction when I first saw him was "Where did this strange handsome guy come from" - but

At least it met the criteria for entering a high-end restaurant, so after the quarrel ended, the two of us had no choice but to walk into the restaurant together.

"By the way, Hikigaya-senpai, don't you think it's awkward for two men to walk in like this?"

"I know what you're trying to say but there's no need to say it."

"So, senior, you really think it's embarrassing for two people to go in together, right? Generally speaking, this kind of place is more suitable for couples to go on a date. If two men go in together, they will be considered gay, right?"

"so what?"

"Well, since you are the only one among the two of us who knows Kawasaki-san, I decided to give this honorable task to you, senior -"

"——Yugahama!"

"Hi?"

"If you want to back out at this time, I will call your sister directly!"

Although the image of Hikigaya Hachiman does not quite meet expectations, it is still a sense of accomplishment to be able to tease a guy like this - of course, I am grateful for calling my sister.

However, is it too easy for an idiot sister to give her phone number to a strange man? When will it be bad for Hikigaya to take advantage of him? This kind of gloomy looking harmless guy is actually

The kind of hidden big boss, this kind of setting is also very common!

"Yuigahama, get rid of the delusions in your mind!"

Uh, I don't know why, but Hikigaya Hachiman now feels like he is possessed by Yukinoshita Yukino. Is it really because he has to act like a senior in front of his juniors?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

All in all, in this atmosphere of complaining, Hikigaya and I walked into the restaurant.

It should be said that it is indeed a high-end restaurant. When we entered the door, a polite waiter guided us to the corresponding seat. After a few questions such as "How many people are there?" "Do you have a reservation?"

Hikigaya and I were led to a bar near the glass window.

"Wait a minute, senior, have you brought enough money?" At this time, I had to consider a serious question. Although Yuigahama's house is basically insulated from this kind of place, but only looking at such decoration and the center of the bar

After buying bottles of wine that looked very expensive, I knew that spending money in this place would definitely be a big deal. I didn't consider this before going out, and I was no different from usual, so I was definitely a little stressed at this time.

Already.

However, Hikigaya did not respond to me. Instead, he turned his attention to the tall and beautiful bartender with special blue hair standing in the middle of the bar. The bartender looked relatively young, but he was

People who work in this kind of place will obviously appear more mature, so does Hikigaya like this type of mature girl?

"Hey, senior, by the way, can the club's expenses be reimbursed for visiting a place like this?" However, the key point shouldn't be admiring the appearance of the female bartender. Even if the expense is not considered, at least we can't forget it.

What’s the purpose of coming here? However, in a place like a restaurant, the appearance of waiters and chefs is not so regular, so it’s better to ask people about it?

However, Hikigaya still ignored me. After staring at the bartender for a while, a knowing expression appeared on his face. At this time, the bartender also glanced at him.

After looking at Hikigaya for a while, although she showed a somewhat confused expression, she finally turned her head away. Presumably, a good-looking girl working in a place like this was stared at blankly.

It's a normal thing to do it, right?

However, although it is normal, it is not very polite to look at it for too long. Just when I was about to remind Hikigaya, he turned his head and made a silencing gesture towards me, showing a serious expression.

The expression: "This is that person, what should I do next?"

"That's that person, which person?"

"That's the bartender! The one with the blue hair, I was looking at her just now, is Saki Kawasaki!" Hikigaya nodded and explained to me.

"Ah, this, isn't it? Didn't sister say that you and that Kawasaki are classmates? She obviously saw you too, how could she not recognize you?"

"Ahem," Hikigaya looked embarrassed, but quickly changed the subject, "In short, that's the right person, so should I contact Yukinoshita and the others next?"

I somewhat understood Hikigaya's embarrassment. This guy seemed to have really implemented the idea of ​​"having no friends" that his sister said - but I didn't expect that his lack of friends was so complete that even his classmates couldn't recognize him.

Even though he himself didn’t seem to have much impression of Totsuka Ayaka, his classmate, from this point of view, Hikigaya really fits the definition of a Lonely Star!

"Isn't it good? You make a phone call in a place like this, and then ask Yukinoshita and my sister to change their clothes and then rush in to communicate with that Kawasaki-san?"

"Well, it's indeed a bit bad. This feeling-"

"——It feels like a real wife coming to a place like this to catch a mistress!" I briefly imagined the scene where Yukinoshita walked straight into the restaurant and talked to Kawasaki, although Yukinoshita would definitely behave elegantly enough.

But it’s true that it’s hard to escape the feeling of catching someone.

"So at this time, we have to solve it on our own?" Hikigaya glanced at Kawasaki on the other side and whispered.

"That's it, right? I feel like if I just leave like this, I'll be laughed at by Yukinoshita!"

"Then, shall we go?"

"Yeah, come on!"

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Ten minutes later.

"Hey, Hikigaya-senpai, you've agreed to come on stage! You haven't even ordered a drink now! If you don't even have this kind of communication, how can you think about saying anything else to her?" I looked at her and squeezed myself tightly.

Hikigaya, who held up his hands, complained.

"In this case, you have to at least think about your lines first, right? Saying something like 'Kawasaki-kun, your brother is worried about you when you work in a place like this' will only be regarded as a fool by the other party, right?"

"Just say, 'Kawasaki-kun, you worked in a place like this and your brother was left without care and ended up getting stuck with my sister, so I'm very dissatisfied, so can you please discipline your brother?' That's it."

!”

"Why do you mean that Komachi is trapped by a bad boy? But what you said, Yuigahama, seems to make sense. That guy named Kawasaki Taishi has ulterior motives for Komachi at a glance! Sister, come out.

I neglected to discipline my younger brother during my part-time job, which led to that guy getting entangled with Komachi - ah ah, why do I feel so unhappy? What should I do if my attitude towards this guy suddenly changed from a passerby to a nuisance!"

"No problem, so come on! Hikigaya-senpai, with this mentality of breaking out for your dearest sister, go ahead and question Kawasaki-senpai!"

"Okay, that's it - you ghost! Don't think that you will be deceived like this!"

"Hey, I thought this was fine, right?"

"Because even if you say something like this, you will be retorted with something like, 'If it wasn't your sister's own problem, why would she be entangled with my brother?' Right?"

"No, generally speaking, older sisters will be very anxious when their younger brothers become bad, right?"

By the way, the reference objects are Yui-san and Kogi-senpai.

"But what we are facing now is a sister who has become a delinquent, right? Your role of a sister who grew up in a greenhouse has no reference value!"

Now, Yui-san, did you hear that? This is what Hikigaya Hachiman said about you, so I told you not to leave your mobile phone number to someone like this who has no gratitude for your kindness. In the end, you have to

There will be no good returns!

"But since she can go out to work, it means that she has not completely turned into a bad person! In any case, I believe that a person who can use his own hands to earn his own reward is worthy of respect!"

"Don't suddenly say such labor-colored words. Are you from the Federation of Labor?"

"I'm not a member of the Labor Federation. Although I am working part-time, I am not yet eighteen years old - uh, um, wait a minute -"

I suddenly realized something. Although the law does not completely prohibit minors from working, there is one clause that I am very clear about - that is, the clause that prohibits minors from working after ten o'clock.

And Hikigaya also realized this with his eyes of sudden understanding.

"Well, just in case, this Kawasaki Saki-senpai has never repeated a grade before, right?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with her. But if it's as good as her brother said, it shouldn't be possible for her to repeat a grade or something, right?"

"So just grab her and drive her home. That's the mission accomplished, right?"

"Well, I feel like there should be no problem, right?" Hikigaya held his head and thought for a while, "After all, even that Kawasaki Saki can't disobey the law, right?"

"So, come on! Hikigaya-senpai!"

"Well, but before that, we still have a problem that needs to be solved." A very subtle expression appeared on Hikigaya's face.

"What's the problem?"

"That is, how to strike up a conversation with her?"

"Isn't it enough to just say, 'Kawasaki-san, you worked in a place like this and your brother had no one to take care of him, and he ended up getting stuck with my sister, so I'm very dissatisfied, so can you please discipline your brother?'"

?”

"You can just complain about this in your mind. If you say it directly, wouldn't it immediately cut off the opportunity to continue the conversation with the other party?"

"Well, actually I know that too, it's just a joke, right?"

Of course, in fact, I also know that it is not impossible to say such direct and hurtful words, but you must say it when you feel that you are sure of winning, or when the other person's personality is the kind of person who likes fighting, if the other person is someone who disdains you

If you care about someone, she will just ignore you as a mentally ill person at this time. Even if she thinks what you say is really serious, she won't bother to argue with you.

"As a bartender, you only need to order a drink and then we can strike up a conversation, right? By the way, Hikigaya-senpai can continue to compliment you, 'Ah, Miss, you are really beautiful. If possible, would you like me to buy you a drink?

?'"
