Life As Hikigaya Hachiman

Chapter 569: The Dumpling Finally Gets Eaten

On the second floor, in Hachiman's room.

With a loud "bang," the door shut, and Yui, sitting on the bed, trembled slightly.

After all, this was her first time; it was impossible not to feel nervous.

"Hikki, what should I do?"

"Just leave it to me."

After securing the door, Hachiman walked back to the bed.

"Yui, you don't need to be so tense."

How could she not be nervous? This was her first time, after all!

Hearing Hachiman's words, Yui rolled her eyes at him.

But the next moment, she was suddenly pulled into his arms.

"Eh? Eh? Eh?"

Caught off guard by Hachiman's sudden move, Yui was startled. Reflexively, her arms wrapped around his neck as she began to complain.

"What are you doing, Hikki, you... mmph—"

Unfortunately, Yui's words were cut off as Hachiman leaned in and silenced her.

There wasn't much time to waste now—he had only about forty minutes and needed to act quickly.

Savoring her soft lips, Hachiman's hands didn't remain idle.

Since they were indoors, Yui wasn't wearing much—just a fitted wool sweater. His hands easily slipped beneath its hem and explored underneath.

What greeted him was smooth, soft skin, reminiscent of the finest pudding, and he couldn't help but linger for a moment.

Feeling his hands moving over her skin, Yui's body trembled slightly, but she soon relaxed.

In her heart, she had long decided to give herself to Hachiman.

As for Hachiman, he wasn't satisfied with just one area.

His hands began to wander again, gliding over her slightly soft stomach before moving up to the gentle curves of her chest.

Climbing higher, reaching the peak, Hachiman began to gently explore.

"Ah..."

Yui let out a soft sound, unable to hold back as Hachiman's touch found sensitive spots.

However, he didn't stop there, continuing his careful movements.

Her delicate figure shivered slightly, as if struck by a sudden wave, but she didn't resist. Instead, she slowly closed her eyes, her long lashes trembling gently.

With Hachiman's actions, Yui couldn't help but release soft, shy murmurs.

"Mm… ah… mm…"

Feeling the warmth and softness, Hachiman found himself momentarily distracted.

As Yui was sitting on his lap, the closeness between them only deepened, heightening the moment.

Soon, with a soft "pop," their lips separated.

Yui's face was flushed red, her eyes shimmering. The earlier movements had left her wool sweater slightly out of place.

"Hikki, your..."

Noticing something beneath her, Yui's expression turned shy.

"It's a normal reaction," Hachiman replied with a small smile, gently laying her down on the bed.

"Alright, let's continue."

"Mm..."

Yui nodded bashfully, fully aware of what was to come next.

Soon, their clothes were discarded one by one, leaving Yui's delicate figure unveiled before Hachiman's eyes.

Her fair skin and elegant curves seemed almost ethereal.

Feeling Hachiman's intense gaze, Yui shyly raised her arms to cover herself.

However, with her striking figure, her slender arms could do little to conceal her beauty. In fact, the gesture only highlighted her features, making her even more captivating.

"Hikki, stop staring... it's embarrassing," Yui said softly, her voice laced with shyness as she glanced at him, appearing as delicate and pure as a blooming lily.

Seeing her like this, Hachiman could no longer hold back. He leaned forward and embraced her fully.

"Ah..."

With Yui's soft gasp, a moment of intimacy marked their bond, symbolizing the start of something profound between them.

Yuigahama Yui—Hachiman's first connection to this journey—was now entirely his.

"I love you, Yui," Hachiman whispered, gazing down at her with warmth and tenderness in his eyes.

"Hikki, I love you too."

With tears shimmering at the corners of her eyes, Yui responded with equal tenderness.

Seeing her expression, Hachiman hesitated no longer and began to move, mindful of the limited time remaining.

As the previously stable bed began to sway, the room filled with a gentle, harmonious rhythm.

...

At 5 PM, the front door opened again.

Soon, Komachi's lively voice echoed through the house: "Onii-chan, we're back!"

Before long, Komachi and Yukino appeared in the living room.

"Welcome back," Hachiman said as he stood up from the sofa, where he had been resting, and took the shopping bags from their hands.

"Where's Yui?" Yukino asked, noticing that Yui wasn't in the living room.

Hachiman, unfazed, shrugged casually.

"Oh, she's in the bathroom," he replied.

As if to confirm his words, the bathroom door clicked open, and Yui stepped out.

Her face was slightly damp, a clear sign that she had just washed up.

Initially, Yui had only planned to rinse her mouth, but after Hachiman's suggestion, she decided to wash her face as well, especially after drinking a certain "special milk."

Seeing Yukino return, Yui greeted her with a cheerful smile.

"Yahallo, Yukinon, you're back!"

Sorry, Yukinon, I just did that with Hikki...

But it was for learning purposes, so you'll forgive me, right?

Thinking about what had just happened, a faint blush crept onto Yui's cheeks.

She couldn't believe she had actually gone through with it.

But surprisingly, Hachiman hadn't been lying—she genuinely felt much clearer-headed now.

By sheer luck, Yui had successfully "loaded" the Learning Module on her first attempt.

Thanks to Hachiman's "experience transfer," the module had even leveled up to Level 2, granting her a skill level equivalent to an above-average student in her grade.

"Yes, I'm back," Yukino replied.

Seeing Yui, her earlier doubts faded, though she couldn't help but notice the blush on Yui's face. Concerned, she asked, "Yui, your face is so red. Are you feeling alright?"

"Ah, no, no, I'm fine!" Yui waved her hands hastily in denial.

"I just felt a bit hot earlier, so I washed my face."

"I see," Yukino nodded, not suspecting anything. After all, the room was quite warm thanks to the central heating.

At this moment, Hachiman chimed in to steer the conversation elsewhere.

"Alright, you've worked hard buying the ingredients. Now you can all rest; leave the cooking to me."

With that, Yukino and the other two rested on the sofa, while Hachiman carried the groceries into the kitchen and began to busy himself.

After about an hour, dinner was ready.

Sweet and sour ribs, sautéed shrimp, fried tempura, stir-fried shredded potatoes...

One beautifully prepared dish after another was brought to the table.

As the final dish—a vegetable salad—was served, Hachiman removed his apron.

"Okay, dinner's ready!"

Hearing his words, the three girls got up to wash their hands.

"Let's eat!"

After the customary opening, dinner officially began.

Yui: "Mm... Hikki's cooking is absolutely delicious."

Yukino: "Yes, it's truly tasty."

Komachi: "Haha, I told you! No matter how much you eat, you never get tired of Onii-chan's cooking."

"..."

Seeing the three girls enjoying their meal so happily, Hachiman felt quite satisfied.

Usually, it was just him and Komachi eating at home. Today, with Yukino and Yui joining them, it was noticeably livelier.

I wonder what it would be like to gather all the girls together for a meal.

Hmm, I'll have to try that sometime.

Thinking this, Hachiman picked up a piece of sweet and sour rib and put it in his mouth.

Hmm, sweet and tangy with rich meat flavor—not bad, if I do say so myself.

Ah, delicious!

...

After dinner, Hachiman prepared cups of tea for everyone.

Since the dishes he made were so appetizing, Yukino, Yui, and Komachi couldn't help but each eat an extra half bowl of rice. Naturally, they were feeling a bit too full now.

Hachiman, however, didn't overeat. After serving tea to the girls, he started clearing the table.

Collecting dishes, cleaning up...

Watching Hachiman's busy figure, the three girls felt a pang of guilt in their hearts.

After all, he had already worked so hard to cook dinner, and now he was tidying up as well.

But there wasn't much they could do—they were simply too full to help.

As Yukino and Yui watched Hachiman washing dishes in the kitchen, a warm feeling welled up inside them.

Perhaps they had often fantasized about moments like this.

Cooking together, eating dinner together, then cleaning up together...

True happiness, after all, is found in the small, simple moments of everyday life.

Soon, Hachiman finished cleaning and joined them on the sofa with his own cup of tea.

The four of them spent the rest of the evening sipping tea, chatting, and watching TV, letting time pass peacefully.

By the time the clock struck 8 PM, Yukino set down her teacup and stood up.

"It's getting late. I should head home now."

"Eh? Yukino-nee is leaving?"

Komachi, reluctant to see her go, quickly suggested, "Why don't you just stay over at our place? We have a spare room, after all."

However, Yukino shook her head, declining politely.

"No, thank you. I've been out all day already."

"Alright then," Komachi sighed, turning her attention to Yui.

"What about you, Yui-nee? Are you staying over?"

"Um… I think I'll head home too. If I stay out all day, my mom might get worried," Yui replied after a moment of thought, shaking her head as well.

Seeing that neither of them planned to stay, Komachi let out a small sigh and turned to Hachiman.

"Onii-chan, why don't you walk them home?"

"You don't need to tell me; I already planned to," Hachiman said with a smile, gently knocking on her head before standing up.

"Let's go. I'll walk you both back."

Neither Yukino nor Yui objected, and the three of them left Hachiman's house together.

Before long, they arrived at the apartment building where Yukino lived.

"I'll head up now. Take care on your way back," Yukino said, bidding them goodbye at the entrance.

"Yeah, goodnight, Yukino."

"Goodnight, Yukinon," Yui added, waving at her.

With a final wave, Yukino disappeared into the building, leaving Hachiman and Yui to continue walking toward her home.

Before long, they reached Yui's house.

Standing at her door, Yui let go of Hachiman's hand, her expression a bit shy and hesitant.

"Hikki, about what we did today…"

Before she could finish, Hachiman leaned in and kissed her.

It was a brief kiss, and they parted shortly after.

"Yui, from now on, you're completely mine," Hachiman said softly.

Hearing those words, Yui's face turned bright red as she nodded bashfully.

"Mm-hmm, I understand," Yui replied, nodding with a shy smile.

Seeing her adorable reaction, Hachiman reached out and gently patted her head.

"See? I told you I wasn't lying. Don't you feel much smarter now?"

"Mm-hmm! I really do! I feel like I can understand so many questions that I couldn't before," Yui said, her face lighting up with excitement as she spoke.

"That's good to hear, but just one time isn't enough," Hachiman said with a mischievous smirk. "We'll need to do this a few more times to make sure the effect lasts."

"Eh?! A few more times?"

Remembering what they had done earlier, Yui's face turned a light shade of red.

"Alright then… I understand," she replied shyly.

Sorry, Yukinon, this is all for the sake of learning. I'm sure you'll forgive me, right?

This isn't cheating… not really.
