He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a small pink ball-shaped pendant.
It was Biabu that Su Qing gave her this afternoon.
She really likes this little pink ball; it's so cute.
So from then until now, it has always been with me at all times.
"Huh, what's this? It looks pretty cute." Yuihama Kana noticed it and immediately cast a curious glance at it.
“It’s Biabu, a character from a manga,” Yui explained.
"Hmm? A manga?" Yuigahama Kana murmured thoughtfully, then asked after a moment's thought.
"Is that comic called 'Super Beast Force'?"
Yui looked shocked.
"Mom, how did you know??"
This comic has only been out for three months, how come even Mom knows about it!
She clearly doesn't read comics.
"Silly girl." Yuihama Kana rolled her eyes at her daughter and laughed, "Your dad works at an animation company."
His company recently took on the task of adapting this comic into an anime, and they've even made promotional posters for it.
It just so happens to be on the poster.
As Yuihama Kana spoke, the curiosity in her eyes intensified.
According to her husband, the author of this comic is quite remarkable.
I heard that he completed a medium-length comic book in less than three months with high quality, and his achievements far exceeded those of other works in the same period.
She didn't quite understand just how "powerful" her husband was talking about really was, but...
Those big ears look like an elephant's...
It looks rather unique, doesn't it?
"Let's show it to Mom!"
"No," Yui said without hesitation.
???
Qiannai looked puzzled.
She immediately put on a pitiful and charming face, and said in a sweet voice, "Just let Mommy see, little Yui~"
"Well--"
That's what it means to say your mother is like a child.
Yui thought for a moment, then took the little pink ball far away.
"Look, there you go~"
"So far?" Yuihama Reina was taken aback for a moment, then pleaded, "Please bring it closer, are you worried that Mom will break it?"
"You broke my doll when I was in elementary school..." Yui said abruptly.
After saying that, he put the biabu away.
"That's outrageous! Didn't we already give you a new one?"
Yuihama Kana pouted angrily.
"Hehe, I was just kidding. It's because you always like to tease me." Yui thought to herself with a sigh.
After years of confrontation, it was rare for him to gain the upper hand against his mother.
"Here, take it, but be careful!"
Yui gave her instructions.
"Hmm? Is this little thing expensive?" Yuihama Kana asked curiously, holding it up.
Under the light, the finely crafted pink balls are so delicate that even the individual hairs are clearly visible and countable.
It looks... kind of expensive, huh?
"No, it's not for sale right now, and Xiaoqing said it seems to be a collector's item."
Yui recalled for a moment and explained.
"Huh—? Is that so…" Yuihama Rena's tone suddenly became very drawn out.
"Is Xiao Qing the same boy named Su Qing from last time?"
She paused for a moment, then asked casually.
"That's right." Yui nodded, but her mother's hesitant gaze made her feel uncomfortable.
She didn't like this feeling, so she spoke frankly.
"It's true that I like Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing doesn't like me. She has a girlfriend!"
This was probably just a random gift from someone, Mahiru-chan will have something better.
We're just...good friends.
"right……"
Yuihama Kana remained silent.
That boy actually likes you.
But she didn't dare tell Yui.
Yuigahama Reina glanced out the window, suddenly remembered that the weather forecast said it would rain in the early morning, and quickly said,
"It looks like it's going to rain, let's close the windows."
"I'll go." Yui was quick and efficient, and soon closed the open windows.
As she closed the last window, the girl's gaze inadvertently fell on a small dot in the distance, amidst the darkness.
Is there... someone watching me from there?
The sky was dark, and the streetlights there provided only a faint glow.
Yui's vision was blurry, but she felt that the person's figure was familiar, so she quickly rubbed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she could not see him.
"what happened?"
Yuihama Rena then walked over and asked.
"No, it's nothing."
Yui gently shook her head, assuming it was just her imagination, and closed the last curtain as well.
"It's getting late, let's finish the apple and go to sleep," said Yuihama Kana.
"Okay, sure." Yui nodded obediently.
She was chewing on half a piece of apple, her head bowed. After a while, she looked up, puzzled.
"Mom, why does this apple taste salty?"
"It tastes awful..."
……
In the corner, Su Qing slowly withdrew her gaze only after the last light was extinguished.
The rumbling sound of the suitcase wheels scraping against the asphalt road was lost in the remaining moonlight and shadows.
"Yui, don't be foolish enough to take the fall for others anymore."
"It's not worth it..."
……
……
Chapter 376 Tomorrow
?
The Hikigaya family.
"Dude, what time is it? Why aren't you asleep yet? What do you want?!"
"And your smile is kind of disgusting!"
Komachi Hikigaya had just finished showering and was wearing her pajamas when she came out of the bathroom and heard her older brother's strange laughter.
Goose, goose, goose.
He's laughing like a goose!
"Ah, my sister has finished her shower, I should go take a shower too."
"Are you going to sleep? Okay, goodnight, see you tomorrow~"
Even he probably didn't realize it, but when Hachiman Hikigaya spoke at the end, his voice became much gentler, completely different from when he usually spoke to Su Qing and some other boys in the classroom.
Commonly known as "small clip".
Under normal circumstances, Komachi Hikigaya would never miss an opportunity to mock her older brother.
First, he approached with a grin, then mimicked the other person's tone, saying "Goodnight~ Goodnight~" and pressing his face against theirs repeatedly.
Tsk, aren't brothers just for fun?
Those who are obsessed with their brothers or sisters are simply fantasizing about not having any real siblings.
Besides, she often makes lunchboxes for him, so what's wrong with teasing him a little?
(Komachi's self-righteous face)
But her face didn't look good at the moment; she just kept muttering, "It's all over, everything is over..."
Having just hung up the phone, Hachiman Hikigaya, who had just taken off his headphones, looked over in confusion upon hearing the sound. Seeing his sister acting as if she were possessed by a demon, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
"Were there a few water ghosts in the bathroom that scared you like that?"
"This is far, far more serious than a water ghost incident!!!"
Komachi Hikigaya rushed up to Hachiman Hikigaya, her face filled with a sense of oppression, and asked:
"You were just talking to Saika-neechan, right?!"
"Uh, that's true... but she's my girlfriend, isn't it normal for her to talk on the phone?"
Hachiman Hikigaya was completely baffled, and he scratched his face awkwardly.
Caijia is his girlfriend, hehe... I still feel so happy just thinking about it.
"Normal, normal..."
"No, this isn't right! Ahhhhh, why didn't you tell me you were talking to Saika-neechan sooner?!"
Komachi Hikigaya looked utterly exasperated.
"You were taking a shower when we were on the phone, and besides, why should I tell you..."
"And speak properly first, what exactly happened?"
"I just said your laughter was disgusting, and Saika-neechan must have heard it all!" Komachi Hikigaya looked like she was about to cry.
“Sister Caijia likes you so much, I just asked her last time if there was anything she was dissatisfied with about you or any shortcomings.”
"She actually said there weren't any!!"
"Perhaps the biggest drawback is that I'm too gentle and too good to her!!"
"Isn't that great? Why are you asking this..." Hachiman Hikigaya was still completely bewildered.
If Su Qing were here, he would always know what others are thinking.
He truly deserves to be called a master of psychology!
Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the new nickname that the Ministry of Revenue had asked him to come up with for Su Qing.
Speaking of Su Qing, why didn't I see her this afternoon...?
