[Ding! Hikigaya Hachiman instinctively wrapped his arms around Horikita Suzune's slender waist…]
[Ding! Horikita Suzune took the initiative to kiss Hikigaya Hachiman on the lips…]
[Ding! Horikita Suzune took the initiative to…]
Hearing the system notifications ringing in her ears, Yukinoshita felt utterly restless.
Earning points was supposed to be a joyous occasion.
But right now…
Ugh!
Her beloved was about to become another woman's man again.
My Hikigaya-kun, my Hikigaya-kun, my Hikigaya-kun…
And to make matters worse, the one performing the sacred ritual with her beloved wasn't even Iroha—it was a completely unfamiliar woman.
Not only that.
She—she actually had to watch this sacred ritual unfold.
Her thighs tensed so much that her denim shorts were nearly stretched to their limit.
Clutching her chest in anguish, Yukinoshita crouched down, lowered her head, and peered through the gap beneath the stall door into the adjacent one.
At that moment…
Hikigaya and Horikita were lost in a deep kiss.
"!!"
Watching this scene unfold right before her eyes, Yukinoshita's heart trembled. She wasn't sure why, but a wave of frustration and… pain washed over her.
Even when Saki or Senpai, or any of the other women had kissed her beloved before, she had never felt this much agony and distress.
Maybe it was because she didn't know Horikita.
Maybe it was because she wasn't mentally prepared for this at all.
Whatever the case, seeing these two so intimately close was something she absolutely could not accept.
After a while, Hikigaya finally pulled away and whispered gently:
"Yukinoshita, why… why are you here?"
"Yuki… Yukinoshita?"
Hearing this, the dazed Horikita blinked, looking at Hikigaya in confusion.
Wait—did my beloved just mistake this girl for me?
Huh?!
Looking closer, this girl named Horikita Suzune…
She does look a little bit like me.
Yukinoshita bit her lip bitterly, sighing inwardly.
Nooo!
Hikigaya-kun, that's not me! She just happens to resemble me a little bit, that's all!
Don't mistake someone else for your wife!!
Of course, Hikigaya couldn't hear the silent screams in Yukinoshita's heart. Instead, he held the girl in his arms even tighter, gazing at her with deep affection, completely ignoring everything else.
"Yukinoshita… I love you."
Saying that, he couldn't help but take in the scent of the girl's neck.
"Eh? Mmm…"
Horikita trembled slightly, initially intending to push him away.
But… instead of resisting, her hands ended up pulling Hikigaya even closer, burying her face in his chest and taking in his scent.
"Hm, I… I like it…"
Nooo!
Hikigaya-kun, she's not me!
You're not supposed to be sniffing her!
Hikigaya-kun, the woman you're holding isn't me—she just looks a bit like me!
As she rested in his embrace, Horikita took a few deep breaths, her heartbeat quickening.
A bold thought slowly emerged in her mind.
She gradually lifted her head and gazed at Hikigaya with tender eyes.
"T-There's something… something I want to ask. It's a bold request, but… will you promise me?"
"Huh? A bold request…?" Hikigaya, still in a daze, licked his lips nervously. "Go ahead… If it's something you ask for, I… I'll definitely agree, no matter what it is."
Nooo!
Hikigaya-kun, how can you spoil me like this?!
You're listening to me too much!
"R-Really? No matter what I ask for…?"
Horikita, blushing shyly, no longer carried her usual cold demeanor. Instead, she stammered like a bashful maiden.
"You… You said it yourself!"
"Of course. You are the woman I love most in this world. I… I will only listen to you, be your man, and do everything for you. Yukinoshita, I love you~"
Nooo!
Hikigaya-kun, I love you too! I love you the most!!
"In that case…"
Lowering her head shyly, Horikita hesitantly asked,
"I… I want to… do that… with you. R-Right now. Um… is that okay?"
"That…?"
"Idiot!" Horikita huffed.
"…Ah?"
"Y-You know what I mean…"
"Wait, no, this isn't…"
Hikigaya, though hazy-minded, shook his head after a few seconds of hesitation.
"We can't. This… this is a public restroom. We can't… we shouldn't. Besides, don't we… don't we still have something important to take care of?"
That's my Hikigaya-kun!
Such strong willpower!
Love you, love you, love you~!
"Huh? We can't?"
Horikita clung to Hikigaya tightly, asking anxiously:
"Really… really can't?"
"Really… can't."
"B-But you said you'd agree to anything I asked for…"
"Eh?"
"...Promise me, okay?"
Nooo!
Don't promise her, Hikigaya-kun!!
"This…"
"Okay? Please?"
Biting her lip, Horikita gazed at Hikigaya with a pleading expression.
To Hikigaya, this was completely identical to seeing Yukinoshita's heartbroken face.
How could he just ignore it?
"Yuki… Yukinoshita!!"
Hikigaya suddenly hugged Horikita tightly and whispered,
"I'll… I'll do anything for you. Whatever you want… I'll agree to it all…"
"Y-You promise?"
"…Yeah."
Nooo!
Hikigaya-kun, that woman isn't me!
She's not me!!
Don't give your love for me to someone else, please!!
Hikigaya and Horikita kissed once more.
A devastated Yukinoshita couldn't bear to watch any longer.
[Ding! Host must continue watching, or a severe penalty will be applied.]
System, you have no heart!
"You… Are you safe today? I'm worried…" Hikigaya hesitated.
"Who cares about that… I don't want to think about anything else right now."
"Huh? But… if…"
"Don't think about it. I just… I just want you right now. Okay?"
"O-Okay…"
Nooo!
To prevent Horikita from accidentally getting pregnant, I have to waste one of my protection cards on her!
[Ding! Horikita Suzune is ready…]
[Ding! Hikigaya Hachiman…]
[Ding! Mission 2: 'Find a third conquest target to serve Hikigaya Hachiman (must be done in front of the host)' has been completed…]
Nooo!
Hikigaya-kun, stop calling my name!
Stop calling my name while you're with another woman!!
