Hikigaya's Inner World of Spring

"No... no way!"

The moment Yukinoshita pulled out the movie-watching glasses, her entire body trembled.

"What... what am I doing?! How could I take out something so awful!"

It was the system's previous reward: a pair of movie-watching glasses that allowed her to see unspeakable events between Hachiman and other women.

She had to throw them away!

They had to be discarded immediately!!

[Doesn't the host want to see Hachiman's unyielding love and resolve for you?]

[It's just watching. What harm could it do?]

The system's persuasive voice quickly chimed in.

"But..." Yukinoshita was utterly conflicted.

She really wanted to see.

To see the unwavering love of her husband as he resisted the advances of that senpai. It would definitely be amusing.

But... but...

Ugh! Watching her beloved endure such a thing with another woman while she enjoyed it—wasn't that far too immoral?!

What kind of girlfriend would do something like this?!

[If the host watches, there will be additional point bonuses.]

"...What did you say?!"

Yukinoshita's eyes widened.

"How... how much of a bonus?"

[Watching for 10 minutes grants a 5% bonus. Watching for 20 minutes grants a 10% bonus, and so on, up to a maximum of 30%.]

"Uh... this..."

Yukinoshita hesitated.

Even 5%—no matter how small—was still something!

If that's the case...

Ugh! This is all for the sake of gaining more points!

It's not because I want to watch!

With those points, she could save her beloved husband!!

So, forgive me, Hachiman... I am such a terrible girlfriend...

In the end, Yukinoshita's trembling hands put on the red viewing glasses.

The moment the scene appeared before her eyes, Yukinoshita's body jolted as though struck by lightning, shivering for a few moments.

Her eyes widened as she soaked in every detail, not wanting to miss a single frame.

"The quality is so low... I can't see clearly..."

"Wait... you can even do that?!"

"Senpai really knows what she's doing..."

Just as Yukinoshita was engrossed in the scene, savoring every detail, a figure unknowingly approached her from the staircase below.

"Huh? Yukinoshita-san?"

"!!"

The sudden arrival of another girl made Yukinoshita's expression shift dramatically. Her entire body froze as she instinctively jumped to her feet.

"Kato-san?!"

"Quite the coincidence." Kato greeted her casually, her eyes briefly glancing at the glasses Yukinoshita wore. "Were you studying, Yukinoshita-san?"

Yukinoshita forced an awkward smile. "Ah... yes, that's right."

Phew, that was close!

Luckily, she had a book in her hands. Otherwise, things might have completely fallen apart!

"And you, Kato-san...?"

"I'm here to clean the locker room for our class."

"Huh? All by yourself?"

"Yes."

As Kato was about to leave, Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment before offering, "How about I help you out? I don't have much to do right now anyway."

"That's... not necessary, is it?"

"As a member of the Service Club, helping out classmates is what I do." Yukinoshita smiled gracefully. "Since lunch break is limited, if I help, you can finish faster and have more time to rest."

"Well, thank you, then."

"Don't mention it. Helping each other out is what classmates do."

"Thank you," Kato said again with genuine gratitude.

The two girls headed upstairs toward the locker room.

As they passed the J-class locker room, Yukinoshita's gaze lingered on it briefly before she suddenly spoke up.

"By the way, Kato-san, are you in any clubs or activities?"

She deliberately raised her voice, intending to catch the attention of the two inside the J-class locker room.

This was all she could do for her beloved!

"Clubs or activities? No, I'm not."

Kato shook her head.

"Really? Not even one?"

"..."

The two began chatting casually as they walked toward the B-class locker room.

---

Half an hour later.

"Hurry up! Let's go!!"

"What's the rush?"

Kasumigaoka, now dressed in her uniform, stretched languidly, her S-shaped figure becoming even more alluring and mature, as though exuding an irresistible fragrance.

Seeing the seductive sight before him, the anxious Hachiman snapped irritably, "Didn't you hear voices outside earlier? Let's get out of here already!"

As he spoke, he carefully returned Yukinoshita's gym clothes to the cabinet.

"Tch. No one saw us; what's there to worry about?"

"What if they did?"

"Heh. I bet..." Kasumigaoka leaned lazily against a chair, her exaggerated curves pressing into its surface, making it groan.

"Is it because you overheard Yukinoshita? Did that fluster you? Honestly, you're quite adorable, Hachiman~"

"You..."

Hachiman instinctively took a step back, his voice steady but firm.

"If Yukinoshita was around, there's a good chance she could come into the locker room."

"Fine, fine. I'll put on my shoes."

"Just hurry up!"

As Kasumigaoka lazily tied her shoes, Hachiman sighed heavily. Outwardly calm, he was inwardly a bundle of nerves.

"Hey~"

Kasumigaoka spoke as she slipped on her shoes.

"So... how did it feel just now?"

"I-It was nothing special!"

"What kind of 'nothing special,' Hachi~man~?"

Kasumigaoka's teasing smile lingered as her stocking-clad foot lightly tapped his leg. Her toe playfully traced circles on his thigh.

"Cut it out!" Hachiman swatted her foot away and replied in a low voice, "You and Yukinoshita are incomparable. Yukinoshita is the best!"

"Oh?"

Kasumigaoka raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"You sure talk tough! But just now, for thirty minutes, you weren't saying that~"

"I..."

Hachiman averted his gaze, unable to meet Kasumigaoka's teasing eyes.

Kasumigaoka finished tying her shoes and slowly stood up.

"Heh. No need to say it now. But don't worry—there's plenty of time. I'll make you admit it someday, Hachiman~"

She moved closer and gently wrapped her arms around him.

"!!"

Hachiman stiffened, instinctively trying to resist. But after a few seconds of struggle, he gave up and allowed himself to be embraced by the senpai's soft, warm figure.

There was no denying it.

In every way...

Senpai was too overwhelming.

Although Yukinoshita excelled in many areas, when it came to pleasing a man, Kasumigaoka's skills were...

No!

No matter how great Kasumigaoka might be!

Hachiman loved Yukinoshita!

Senpai's allure was irrelevant.

In Hachiman's heart, Yukinoshita would always come first.

Yukinoshita... was the best!!
