Chapter 398 - Like a cliche light novel title

"Ebina-san?" 

"Tobe-kun!" 

While Tobe was confused when he saw his classmate, who loved BL so much, Hina was happy when she saw him! 

"How was your Golden Week? Did you go out with Hayato-kun?" 

"...no." 

"Ah, what's with that pause? You don't have to hide it from me~?" 

Facing his speechless expression and answer, Hina moved her elbow lightly at his side as if telling him that it was okay to be truthful to her. 

"I am not. We haven't met each other for the past few days. Moreover, instead of me, wouldn't it be better for him to go out with Yumiko? They are dating, and this Golden Week is a good chance for their relationship to grow closer." 

While the relationship between Hayato and Yumiko all started due to Yukinoshita, who wanted Yumiko to get away from her boyfriend, Tobe, hoped for the two to get along well, as Yumiko's love for Hayato was clear. 

As for the thought of stealing Yumiko from Hayato? 

Tobe had no idea at all, as he felt that all the rewards that he got were enough, and he had also touched all the female members of the Yukinoshita family. If he somehow touched another again, he was afraid that Yukinoshita, Yuki-san, and Haruno would react violently. 

Then, what about Maaya and Shiori? 

When he thought of the two, strangely enough, he could imagine that the three of them would accept them. More importantly, even if the females of the Yukinoshita family had more than three females, they wouldn't be enough to handle him, who had become a superhuman-like existence due to the system. 

Still, Hina only smiled and asked, "Yumiko aside, what about you? Where is Yukinoshita-san?" 

Hearing this question, Tobe let out a helpless sigh. "Her mother is so strict, and we might only be able to meet after the Golden Week." 

"How sad~!" 

"...why did you sound so happy?" 

"No, no~! It's your imagination~!" 

Yet, Hina laughed happily when she heard his misfortune. 

"Go explode, you Riajuu!" 

"...your inner thoughts are leaking." 

"Did it?" 

"....' 

Still, Tobe couldn't help but look at Hina, who was in her casual outfit. Even if she was a BL lover, he had to say she was quite beautiful. 

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?" 

"No, it's just my first time seeing you in your casual outfit." 

"Well, me too." Hina nodded as she looked at Tobe, who appeared classic and elegant somehow, like those old-money men in Europe. "I thought you had a taste for the wild side." While she hadn't seen him in his casual outfit before, she often heard others, who saw him on the street with boots, denim pants, and a simple t-shirt and jacket, which was so different from his current style. "Are you cheating on your girlfriend?" 

If there was a reason why he suddenly changed his style, she thought that he was about to meet a different woman! 

After all, she had seen Tobe's boundless energy and his energetic body, it was definitely impossible for him to stay calm when Yukinoshita wasn't by his side, and he decided to be like a sneaky mouse, who tried to steal a delicious cheese from his girlfriend. 

"....." 

"Of course not. I just have something to do in the nearby area, but what are you doing here? You should be visiting Ikebukuro or the manga fest instead of this place, right?" Tobe couldn't help but glance at the luxurious hotel behind him and asked, "Are you going to meet your boyfriend?" 

"...." Hina. 

Still, when Tobe thought of Hina's personality, he decided to apologize. "I am sorry. With who you are, it seems impossible for you to get a boyfriend. 

"What do you mean by impossible?! If I want to, there will be a lot of guys who want to date me!" 

Her hobby might be disgusting, and even society labeled her as "Fujoshi," or a rotten girl, yet, even so, Hina was still a beautiful girl. 

"But do you want to?" 

"...." Hina. 

"That said, I have something to do, so I can't talk with you for so long." 

"Isn't it fine to talk for a bit? Come on! Accompany me for a bit!" 

"...you should get a boyfriend." 

"Who will date a Fujoshi like me?!" 

"Those otakus will be happy to date you." 

"..." 

The problem was, would she date them? 

"If the otaku is handsome enough, then I will." Hina thought for a moment and didn't feel much of a rejection toward a relationship like before, especially when she saw how happy Yukinoshita was. 

Despite being beautiful, Yukinoshita was famous for being a loner and always isolating herself from everyone. 

Hina was lucky that she had met Yumeko, who would protect her, and wasn't so disgusted with her hobby as a Fujoshi, or a BL lover, but she knew well that if the situation forced her to, she would choose her love for Fujoshi instead of her friend. 

Still, as a girl, naturally, she wished to have both a companion and her hobby, so having a lover who could understand her hobby was perfect. 

"By the way, did you know that Oda Nobunaga is a receiver?" 

"...what do you mean by a receiver?" 

"Oh...you don't need to pretend that you don't understand. You know what I mean, right?" 

As Hina showed her silly smile, Tobe felt a shock at the useless trivia that he didn't need to know.

"Unlike now, such a thing was normal in the past." 

"Stop! Stop! I like women!" 

"What a shame..." 

"...." 

Tobe let out a helpless sigh, thinking that it would be difficult for Hina's future lover, he thought. "By the way..." 

"Hmm?" 

"Treat me to something as an apology." 

"...." Hina. 

"Why did I have to treat you?!" 

"To console my soul, who has been tarnished by your strange knowledge!" 

Hina let out a helpless sigh, but she didn't reject him since she wanted someone by her side at this moment. "Are you okay with a crepe?" 

"...you are going to treat me?" 

"Why not? Come on! That stall over there has delicious crepes!" 

As she said so, Hina grabbed his hand and pulled him. 

Her hand was soft and delicate, Tobe thought, yet while he noticed something from how she appeared today, he didn't say anything and just let himself be treated by her. 

"What did you get?" 

"Chocolate and cheese." 

"...is it delicious?" 

The combination of cheese and chocolate wasn't something that Hina could imagine. 

"Do you want to try?" 

"Ahh!" 

Hearing his offer, Hina quickly made a chomp on his crepe, which had a unique taste combination of cheese and chocolate. "...it isn't bad, but it is kind of weird." 

"It's not bad." 

"Do you want to try mine? Mine is strawberry. It tastes quite nice." 

Tobe wanted to give his answer, but he got a call from his father. "Dad? Ah, I am at the crepe store in front of the hotel." As he talked, all of a sudden, Hina tried to feed him, which made him roll his eyes and take a bite of her strawberry crepe before he hung up the call. 

"How was it?" 

"It's okay." 

"Right?" 

As they talked, Tobe heard someone call his name, and Hina also heard someone call her name. 

"Kakeru!" 

"Hina!" 

The two turned and saw their father and mother. 

"Dad?" 

"Mom?" 

Still, the two of them looked at Tobe and Hina in surprise.

"Oh? Have you two known each other?" 

"Well, they are from the same school, after all." 

"...." Hina and Tobe. 

The two blinked their eyes, and had a certain guess on their hearts. Like a certain light novel title, their beginning was quite cliche, but they knew well that—

"You two are about to become siblings, so let's get to know each other." 

"..." 

Yet, it was cliché, but... it was hard to accept it for a while.
