On the island, people are quite sensitive about how they address others, which is why Hachiman thinks that people who have only met a few times but can call each other by their first names fluently are "impressive".
"For now, let's say you're first in your grade. You should be a senior in high school now, right? You should have decided which university to apply to by now."
Su Qing looked into Komachi's eyes and pondered.
"Wow, that's amazing! How did you figure out I was a senior in high school?"
As for university, I originally wanted to apply to Soso University!
As Komachi spoke, she gave Hachiman a strange smile, then cleared her throat and said playfully,
"Right now, it's Soubu University. After all, Komachi has been working towards this goal for so long. Although it's very difficult to get in, it's too late to change our goals now."
Because their parents are often away from home for work, the brother and sister have supported each other all these years, and no one can question the bond between them.
therefore.
Although Komachi never revealed her reasons for applying to Soubu University, Hachiman knew that while the school was indeed prestigious, it was mostly because of him...
Hachiman's smile softened for once, and he looked at his sister with a firm tone, saying, "Don't worry, you'll definitely pass the exam."
"Hey bro, this sudden burst of energy is kind of disgusting, isn't it?"
Upon seeing this, Komachi reacted as if she had been greatly shocked, crossing her arms and shivering.
"why is it like this……"
Hachiman was visibly dejected, but the smile on his lips did not disappear.
The next moment, Komachi also shook off her previous chill and smiled brightly, her little tiger teeth shining.
"However... that sentence just now scored one of the highest in Komachi's mind so far~~~"

Chapter 334 release
?
Cats are indeed the cutest creatures in the world!
Yukino stroked Kamakura's soft fur, a bright smile on her face, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
If only there were cats...
"Um... Xiaoxue, can I try it?"
Yui, who was standing to the side, had been itching to touch a cat since the beginning. Since the incident of feeding a cat when she was a child, she hadn't had the courage to touch a cat for more than ten years.
Perhaps it was because Kamakura was just too cute, or perhaps it was because Su Qing had just finished explaining it to her that she was eager to try it out.
In short, Yui wants to push her boundaries.
"no problem?"
Yukino looked at Yui with concern, knowing that the other was afraid of cats.
Is Yui afraid of cats?
The observant Komachi noticed that Yui was nervously clenching her hands and asked her what was wrong.
"For some reasons, there was a little bit, but now... it should be fine!"
At this moment, Yui really wanted to see Su Qing, for no reason at all.
But she managed to control herself; she didn't want the other person to think that she only had the courage to do this because he was there.
Don't push yourself too hard.
Caijia offered a warm reminder, her expression showing some concern.
"It's not a big problem, Kamakura is very well-behaved, right?"
Su Qing spoke casually, but her eyes didn't look at anyone. Instead, she looked at Kamakura with a smile, as if she were talking to a cat.
Miraculously, Kamakura also responded at this moment, as if affirming Su Qing's question.
"Meow~~"
Then, it slowly stood up from Yukino's lap, tilted its head, and its orange-yellow eyes immediately reflected Yui's somewhat uneasy face.
[Human, I'm so cute, why are you afraid of me?]
From Yui's perspective, this slightly chubby gray-white kitten seems to be questioning her in this way.
[Little Orange...]
Yui thought of the stray cat she had been feeding, but she quickly stopped thinking about it.
With her lips pressed tightly together, Yui quickly and smoothly picked up Kamakura, and then imitated Su Qing and Yukino to play with the kitten.
"Congratulations, Yui-nee, you succeeded!"
Komachi celebrated at the opportune moment.
"It feels nice to touch, doesn't it?"
Seeing that nothing unexpected had happened, Yukino finally felt relieved and asked with a relieved smile.
"Hmm... It's a strange feeling, completely different from Mosabre."
Yui, who hadn't dared to breathe loudly just moments before, now wore a liberated smile.
Has she, who has always been timid, really become a little braver than before?
But if only... this courage had come sooner...
Sunlight filtered through the treetops and through the window curtains, cascading like gold onto the warm table.
It was surprisingly warm, unlike the approaching winter.
Yui secretly glanced at Su Qing, only to find that the other was also looking at her with his chin resting on his hand, a faint smile on his face as always, surrounded by dappled light.
Everything was as beautiful as when we first met.
The girl quickly lowered her head, her pretty face flushed with a rosy glow.
"Hmm...it seems a bit boring. With so many of us, how about we play some games?"
Yukino sat very close to Yui, glancing at the girl out of the corner of her eye before looking up and asking the others.
"A game? Sure, how about something like Monopoly at home?"
Komachi raised her hand high, her face beaming with excitement.
"It would be too much trouble to go get it, wouldn't it? And it's quite cold today. It's better to just sit by the heater and play some other games."
Yukino gave her own reasons, and it seemed she had other motives.
Hachiman and Su Qing looked at each other at the same time, both seemingly lost in thought.
"Well, since Yukino-nee said so... then it's definitely more comfortable to stay by the heater. Komachi has become a useless person who can't live without the heater."
Komachi casually rested her head on the table and said lazily.
"If it's a game that can be played without any items, what should I play?"
Hachiman asked.
"Truth or Dare...how about it?"
Yukino pretended to think for a few seconds before slowly speaking.
"This game looks so familiar..."
Saika remembered that this game was actually suggested by her last time...
"Huh?! It's this kind of game?"
Komachi was stunned, her expression somewhat blank.
Even high school students don't play this kind of game anymore, yet college students still do it...
"What, what's wrong?"
Yukino was caught off guard by Komachi's reaction and lost her composure.
"Um...it's nothing, it's just that...it's been a long time since I've played this kind of game."
Komachi half-closed her eyes, and after a long pause, slowly explained.
"……I see."
Yukino's plan was disrupted. She had hoped to use this game to help Yui and Su Qing "break the ice," but now it seems unlikely that it will work.
"But I haven't played it much yet. It would be nice to play it occasionally, right?"
Hachiman winked repeatedly at Komachi, as if hinting at something.
Although he didn't understand what Yukino was going to do, he could guess that it was related to Su Qing and Yui.
"Ah...! But then again, Komachi actually loves playing this game!"
Komachi immediately understood her older brother, so she quickly scratched the back of her head and gave an embarrassed smile as she explained.
What are these two doing?
Su Qing sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless.
He could roughly guess the two men's intentions and understood that they meant well, but there was actually no need for it.
"Hachiman, if I remember correctly, we all hung out together in the clubroom just two weeks ago, right?"
"Hmm... Come to think of it, that seems to be the case, doesn't it? Oh my god."
When Hachiman saw Su Qing looking at him, he looked away guiltily and then changed his words.
[What the hell is going on, bro?! Your attitude changed way too fast! You're totally deserting!]
Komachi was completely confused. Although she vaguely sensed that Yui seemed to have some feelings for Su Qing, she didn't know anything else.
"Well... how about thinking of other games? For example, Pictionary is very popular!"
Yui raised her eyes and quickly made a suggestion.
"Komachi is about to take the college entrance exam, I think we should play some brain-teasing games, like... English word chain, how about that?"
Su Qing gave a reason that no one could refuse.
If he then smiles and says he has memorized the entire Oxford English-Chinese Dictionary, that would be the final blow.
"Ah...! No! You must be targeting me, right? This is too much!"
Yui Tom's head-holding pose.
So Yui-san was a poor student?
Interesting, interesting. It seems to be a story of a slacker having a crush on the class's academic genius.
Komachi has read a thousand romance novels and quickly imagined many touching scenes.
"It's very simple, really not difficult. You can use words like 'apple', and... it's a good opportunity to check if you've been studying vocabulary properly lately."
Su Qing smiled and said, leaving the other party no room to refuse.
He really made me want to cry. He's still thinking about my studies??
Yui felt like crying at this moment. She remembered the days when she couldn't go anywhere during breaks and could only stay at her desk doing her homework.
"Then, let's do it!"
There's no going back now, and here comes... Yui, blessed with an aura of courage!
……
Two point minutes later
"Waaaaah, I don't want to play! Why am I the one who gets the most stickers?"
Yui, with tears in her eyes, was covered in a bunch of small white notes, feeling melancholy.
All of this started because the cunning Komachi thought that playing word games was boring, so she found these punishment props.
The results are predictable...
Isn't this obviously bullying honest people?
