Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

"Ah, right."

Bei Nuo finally reminded, "If possible, please don't look for me late at night. After all, sleep is important."

Yukinoshita couldn't help but smile and glanced at Beinuo meaningfully.

"But people think most at night, so what should we do then?"

"Of course it is——"

Bei Nuo hasn't finished speaking yet.

The sound of the service club's door being pushed open interrupted their conversation.

Yuigahama walked in slowly and silently.

The familiar "Hello" did not sound.

She was holding two bottles of drinks of different flavors in her hands, as if they would drop at any time, and her face showed a rare serious look.

Kitano subconsciously teased, "Yuigahama-san is so slow, now you can't refute it."

However, Yuigahama did not react at all. She first glanced at Yukinoshita and then turned her gaze to Kitano.

"Aqi..."

Her voice was lifeless, like a lament.

By this time, Kitano and Yukinoshita both noticed something was wrong.

Yuigahama then squatted down and shouted, "What should I do? I think I messed up!"

"..."

"..."

Faced with her "scream", the other two were confused.

?

Time goes back to the moment when Yukinoshita left the Service Club.

When Yukinoshita walked away along the corridor, Yuigahama and Kitano were still fighting.

"Aqi! How dare you say that to me!"

"Hey, I'm just stating the facts."

Bei Nuo didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt. "You are really slow, aren't you? The last time I went to buy drinks with you, it took me ten minutes to choose a flavor."

Yuigahama was about to retort, but she didn't know what she thought of and held her words back.

Kitano continued to state the facts, "You were really slow that time. You accepted the punishment game right after talking about the cake. Even Yukinoshita-san got impatient waiting. You must have remembered how disappointed she looked at you at that time."

"Oh, okay, I know I'm slow, but it was only that one time, and it was for..."

Yuigahama's voice got quieter and quieter.

Even though Beinuo had excellent hearing, he couldn't hear the last part clearly.

Bei Nuo narrowed his eyes at her and said, "Can you please speak louder? We can't have a conversation like this."

"Ah?" Yuigahama suddenly came to her senses.

She looked confused and obviously didn't hear what Bei Nuo said just now.

"..." Bei Nuo was silent for a while, "Are you a goldfish?"

"Aqi?! How dare you say that I only have seven seconds of memory? Do you think I don't understand?" Yuigahama dug out the only fragments of relevant knowledge she had left, and even her tone of voice became more confident.

"Yeah - but that's fake. If Yukinoshita-san were here, she would definitely say you're easy to fool."

I didn't expect that Beinuo would just dig a hole and the girl would jump into it.

"Eh? Fake?" Yuigahama opened her eyes wide, as if she had doubts about this world.

"To be honest, I'm a little worried. If you enter the society, can you survive?" Beinuo supported his chin with one hand, thinking about the hardships and blows that the other party might experience.

"What? Even Aqi is worried about me. It's just like what mom said..." Yuigahama immediately ended the topic when she remembered what her mother had said before.

Kitano quickly recalled his impression of Yuigahama's mother from his mind.

She was a gentle, virtuous and good listening mother. Although Yuigahama Yui looked silly, she had a tough side inside and would never bend easily. This must have been influenced by her mother.

When she was making cookies, she was able to adjust herself quickly when faced with Yukinoshita's questions. This was a great example.

On the other hand, Yukinoshita's mother is not the opposite, but she is at the other extreme.

Finally, there is Hachiman's mother. She is neither warm nor cold. Apart from being very grumpy when waking up, treating Komachi as a treasure, and treating Hachiman differently in terms of pocket money, she is actually a good person...

How good can this be? Hachiman is already so awkward.

"It's already a luxury to have someone worry about you." Beinuo sighed inexplicably.

Yuigahama looked at him strangely, "If we sell this worry of Aki, will it be worth money?"

"Alas, something that cannot be touched or seen may not be worth anything." But Bei Nuo quickly reacted, "Why are you selling it? Give it back to me now."

Yuigahama chuckled, "It's too late!"

She clenched her hands in the air into a fist and then placed them on her chest.

Beinuo looked at the "worry" that existed only in the palm of his hand. Compared with the proudly standing breasts, he really didn't know how insignificant it was.

He looked away before any misunderstanding could occur.

At this time, Yuigahama turned her gaze to Kitano, with a special glow in her warm eyes.

Then she asked slowly with a smile on her face: "Aqi, why do you believe me?"

Beinuo knew that the other party was talking about what happened this afternoon.

But he heard a hint of joy in Yuigahama's tone.

In order to prevent Yuigahama from being too proud, he said, "I made that up on the spot. Do you really believe it?"

"Huh?!" Yuigahama frowned and pouted in anger. It was obvious that she couldn't accept it for a while. "At that time... Qi was very serious!"

Before she could completely explode, Bei Nuo added, "Can you stop making such a fuss? Even if it's made up, that sentence is true."

Although Yuigahama was so easy to understand, Kitano was able to come up with a story in an instant.

"Wait a minute, Qi. Made up? And it's true? So, it's true but also made up. What does that mean?"

Yuigahama sorted out the logic in Kitano's words.

It seems to be trying to figure out whether the two words combined together are good or bad.

"..." Bei Nuo was speechless, "Let me put it another way."

Yuigahama frowned and clenched her fists, pretending that she was not someone to be trifled with.

It seemed that as long as Bei Nuo said something wrong, that soft fist would hit him.

Whether Yuigahama would fight back or not, Kitano no longer cared, "That is to say, I trust you to believe in yourself."

"..."

Yuigahama didn't respond because she was already confused.

Well, the effect is very good.

Beinuo felt very relieved that he could finally have a brief moment of peace.

After a while.

"That is to say..." Yuigahama slowly came back to her senses, "Aki thinks that I should trust myself more?"

Bei Nuo opened his eyes wide, as if he had witnessed the birth of a miracle, and almost wanted to applaud her.

"Yes."

"Really, why do you all like to say complicated things?" Yuigahama sighed.

She looked at the manuscript on the table and suddenly remembered something, "Ah, Aqi! You haven't helped me find easy-to-read paragraphs yet. Xiaoxue will be back soon."

"Okay, I'll find it now."

"Well! Then I'll go buy some drinks. You really need to be in a good mood to watch this kind of thing."

It seems that Yuigahama does not approve of Zaimokuza's "hard work".

Kitano wondered whether he should tell Zaimokuza this and let him face the cold reality.

"You'd better hurry up, or you'll be short of people again."

"Know it!"

……

Yuigahama hurriedly walked out of the Service Club, but she seemed to hear the words "Please close the door" in her ears, which were the words Yukinoshita had sternly reminded her of.

She quickly stopped and ran back to close the door.

There are several vending machines in Sobu High School, and Yuigahama is very familiar with those locations.

Perhaps it was because her mind was not flexible enough and she often lost in punishment games, so she easily became the one to run errands.

At first, she couldn't remember the drinks that others had ordered, but as the number of times increased, she gradually became familiar with the taste of everyone's drinks.

Until recently, Yuigahama still remembered Miura Yumiko's habits.

Miura would choose drinks according to her different moods, and once set a test for Yuigahama to guess what she wanted to drink that day.

Yuigahama came to the point closest to the Service Club, where there were two vending machines.

At this time of year, most of the drinks are room temperature or cold drinks. Bottled drinks such as mineral water, canned coffee, tea drinks, and soda of different flavors are neatly arranged. The electronic tags are lighting up, showing different price numbers.

She first checked whether the drink she wanted to buy was in stock, then took out the warmed coins from her pocket and put them into the slot.

Yuigahama's blinking eyes have locked onto two drinks, which are the flavors that Yukinoshita and Kitano like.

"Let's drink this today." She gently pressed the glowing button.

Three bottles of beverages of different types fell to the shipping port one by one.

Yuigahama checked the change slot out of habit and took out a few 10 yen coins. This was a conditioned reflex brought about by past lessons.

Just as she squatted down and took out the drink.

A familiar voice sounded beside her ear, "Ah, there's nothing here either."
