Career Choice || Hachiman x Yukino || (COMPLETED)

Chapter 30

"Did you pass your exams or whatever they call it?"

Multiple hours, multiple days of studying.

Yukinoshita had finally taken one of her tests for her law school thingy. I guess it must be really hard if your customer is a murderer and you're trying to make him or her not guilty.

And there are some even more dark cases.

I just hope she doesn't go through those kinds of things. Or is even around those type of people.

"... Barely..."

Sheesh, was it that hard?

"Barely over 90."

I stood incorrect.

It seems she had high expectations of herself. I'm thinking she thinks below 90 is a failing score. I think 90 is the best a human's brain can do.

It's weird that a single letter can control your future.

If you get an A, you get the best of the best.

If you get a failing grade like an F or a N, nobody will want to hire you.

Grades shouldn't matter, tests shouldn't matter. It builds up stress for many students, causing multiple failures. The problem with the school system is that your entire future, shouldn't be decided by just a few letters in the English alphabet.

"I guess I can congratulate you."

"By what? I honestly can't think of any way you can satisfy me with a reward."

Every time I'm attempting to be a romantic man, she either mocks me for it or uses it as an opportunity to hurt my precious little feelings.

"I was just trying to do something romantic with you for once. You know, besides hugging, cuddling, or kissing."

Yes, we do kiss.

Now stop asking me about it.

"Hmm.. I guess your efforts shouldn't be in vain. For a big reward, how about we do something that lovers do?"

"You're asking an inexperienced man."

"Just give your best shots."

"Fine. How about... giving you flowers, Yukinoshita?"

She made an apparent facepalm, signalizing that I failed immediately.

"Wait, did you just call me by Yukinoshita?"

"Uhh.. Yeah. Like I always do? What's wrong with it?"

"I've realized we have only called each other by family name. Let's call each other by our first names. I don't want to be reminded of my family."

I guess she does have a point.

"Okay, Yukino."

"Likewise, H-Hachiman.."

Why is she stuttering on my name?

"Are you trying to mock me by not remembering my full name? Or can you really not remember it?"

I was slightly annoyed by this sort of act to try to get me mad.

"N-No. I just... feel like it's weird since.. I usually never call anyone by their first name unless they are special to me..."

My cheeks were covered with crimson red. My god, why does she have to be cute when pouting and shy at the same time.

Quick, Hachiman, think of a way to hide your embarrassment.
