-I'll edit Katsura Kotonoha's na; I didn't realize that her first na is Kotonoha. It's been a while since I watched this ani, so I forgot about it. Recently, I went to the Kotonoha wiki and discovered her parents' last nas. I can't believe I made that mistake.

"Misty Hill?"
Hearing this title, Hachiman raised an eyebrow.
"Are you talking about Kasumigaoka-senpai?"
"That's right, it's Utako-sensei. Aren't you from the sa school?"
"Didn't I tell you before that I wanted you to help her? Then, yesterday, Utako-sensei told that the first volu would be republished, so I wondered if this had sothing to do with you."
Setting aside the bowl and chopsticks, Sonoko looked at him with curiosity.
Observing her inquisitive gaze, Hachiman remained silent for a mont.
"I didn't expect that Utaha would actually act on my suggestions. Could it be that I really have so kind of protagonist aura?" Hachiman wondered.
"I did give Kasumigaoka-senpai so plot ideas for her light novel, and I also suggested that she re-release the first volu," Hachiman explained after a mont's pause.
"But I didn't anticipate that senpai would actually follow through with my suggestion."
"That goes to show that your ideas align with her desires. Otherwise, knowing Utako-sensei, she wouldn't have chosen to re-release the first volu," Machida Sonoko said with a smile, giving his shoulder a reassuring pat.
"Maybe."
"But even if senpai wants to re-release the first volu, wouldn't she have to go through the library?"
"Don't worry about that. As long as Utako-sensei's light novel is better than before, I'll handle it at the library," Sonoko promised, patting her plump breasts.
"But Hachiman, if Utako-sensei's light novel is republished by then, you'll have to help her promote it."
"Don't worry about it, Sister Sonoko. After all, I suggested to her that she rewrite the first volu, and she's still my senpai. I'll help if I feel like it," Hachiman nodded with a smile.
"Okay, I'm relieved to hear that."
After finishing their lunch, the two left Yukihira Restaurant and paid the bill.
Sonoko couldn't help but complain as she paid the bill.
After all, it was Hachiman who had invited her to eat, yet in the end, she was the one asked to foot the bill.
But complaints aside, she didn't really mind the small expense.
The benefits that Hachiman had brought her far outweighed that, so she saw it as a worthwhile investnt.
After seeing him off at the station, Machida Sonoko headed back to Kadokawa to continue her work.
As Hachiman boarded the train back to Chiba, he let out a sigh of relief.
The illustrator matter was settled, and all that remained was the appointnt with Yui in the afternoon.
Hachiman hoped everything would go smoothly.
...
When Hachiman returned to Chiba, it was already past 1:30, leaving less than half an hour before the agreed-upon ti with Yui.
He hurried to the designated eting place and noticed that Yui hadn't arrived yet.
Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.
Being late for the first date would certainly upset the girls.
Finding a bench in front of the station and taking a seat, Hachiman planned to rest for a while.
Upon careful consideration, this marked the second ti he had gone on a date with a girl in his two lives.
In his previous life, he had many forr lovers, but their dates often felt insincere.
If it weren't for their wealth, he might not have even accepted those dates.
The only ti he truly enjoyed a date was when he t her.
Not to ntion the original Hikigaya Hachiman in this life.
After entering junior high school, he didn't have any friends. His situation only improved after he transmigrated.
While Hachiman was lost in thought, ti quietly slipped away, and it was ti for him and Yui to et as planned.
He stood up, scanned the area, and indeed spotted Yui not far away.
"Yui!" Hachiman called out with excitent and hurried over to her.
Upon seeing his approach, Yui's face lit up with joy, but she quickly regained her composure.
While in the original work she belonged to the "in-crowd," in the present, she's a complete novice when it cos to romantic experiences.
This marked her first ti taking the initiative to ask a boy out.
"Hikki! Good afternoon..." Yui greeted Hachiman weakly as he approached.
"Good afternoon, Yui. You look absolutely stunning today," Hachiman's eyes lit up as he admired her outfit.
She still had her familiar hairstyle, and she was dressed in a white mid-sleeve dress.
Her fair and slender legs shimred in the sunlight, and she wore a pair of transparent butterfly-strap sandals on her feet.
Today, she had clearly applied so light makeup, enhancing her already delicate face, making her look even more beautiful.
Her lips, in particular, had a moist allure that was tempting to behold.
"Oh, Hikki, you're too much..." Yui's face flushed with a hint of affection as she was praised by soone she liked.
"I'm not just saying that, who made my Yui so beautiful ," Hachiman said with a smile, unable to resist reaching out to tousle Yui on her head.
"Hey... who said I'm yours, Hikki, you shaless guy."
She made a playful face at him and swatted away his mischievous hand.
"Don't ss up my hairstyle, you bad guy, Hikki."
With Hachiman's playful interruption, the tension eased, and the two of them relaxed.
Seeing that the atmosphere had lightened up, Hachiman smiled and asked, "Yui, where would you like the two of us to go today?"
"Where should we go? Let think..."
"How about going to the movies?" Yui asked nervously, clearly lacking dating experience, and she relied on her mother's advice for guidance.
"Sure." Hachiman had no objections to her choice.
It doesn't matter what they do; what matters is who they're with.
His intentions towards Yui were pure, and he was happy to accompany her wherever she wanted to go.
Is it?
"Okay, let's go watch a movie first!" Yui's face lit up with happiness upon hearing his agreent.
"Let's go," Hachiman smiled, extending his hand towards Yui.
"There are a lot of people at the station. Give your hand so we don't get separated."
"Hmm..." Yui hesitated for a mont as she looked at the hand he offered, but she finally shyly placed her hand in his.
Her hand was delicate, with skin as smooth as cream. Holding Yui's hand, Hachiman found himself montarily distracted.
"This is a 2D girl's hand... It feels much different from 3D girls," he thought to himself.
The two of them walked hand in hand to the cinema.
"Yui, which movie would you like to watch?" Hachiman, maintaining his gentlemanly deanor, allowed her to make the choice.
"Well... let's go with this one!" Yui hesitated briefly while looking at the nurous movie titles on the cinema screen, but in the end, she settled on a romantic film.
"Alright, I'll go purchase the tickets." Having made a choice, Hachiman approached the ticket counter and bought two tickets along with so popcorn and drinks.
Then, they entered the screening room together.
Upon entering the screening room, Hachiman noticed that it wasn't very crowded.
Most of the moviegoers were couples, seated together in pairs.
"Well, it seems like visiting places like movie theaters can be a bit tough for single dogs," he thought, but quickly added ntally, "But fortunately, I have company today. So, single dogs, be envious."
They found seats for two, and Hachiman and Yui settled in together.
"Here, Yui," he said, offering her the popcorn and drink with a soft smile.
"Hey, thank you, Hikki," Yui replied with her trademark silly grin.
Soon, the movie began to play...
