Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 First Memorandum Possibly, it’s no one’s monologue. Mine has been a life of much shame. My eyes abruptly focused on that sentence. I was in the middle of a lot of cleaning with the upcoming New Year. As I organized my book collection, I found myself reaching out to a book. The reason why I ended up picking out this book amongst the many was because I felt some kind of link with the three worded title. No Longer Human. I think it was about the time I got into middle school that I read this book. When I made it halfway through the second memorandum, I closed the book in a hurry and never managed to read much of it beyond that. Back then, the difficulty was a little out of my league and as a middle school student, it was fairly tedious as well. I had plenty of other fun things to read too, so it wasn’t like I was starving for entertainment that I needed to go through the trouble of reading a fastidious and offensive book like this. That’s exactly why I closed the book. In that book, it felt as if I was getting dragged to the surface, as if my true nature that I was still continuing to hide to this day was getting exposed. I felt it was possible that even the reason why I attempted to read this book when I was in middle school was written in that book as well. Despite that, the reason I was reading this book this late now was because I thought it was just something to be thrown out. I took it with my hands in astonishment. But thinking about it even more, there was no way I could throw out this book. They say that bookshelves are a reflection of a person’s personality. Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 In that case, I’m sure this book was a reflection of my true nature. That’s why, the only thing I could do in the end was just put it away without tossing it and pretend as if I had never seen it. Yet here I am, reaching out to it again. Could it have been a divine oracle, or possibly fate? I wasn’t one to take those words seriously, but it wasn’t very pleasant knowing how it seemed like I was reinforcing the notion instead by being up in arms and denying it. I wiped off the collected dust on the book and dropped onto the couch. Let’s continue the book; continue on from where I couldn’t back then. Because it’s likely that I needed to see what will happen from there on. Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 Chapter 1 At last, Hikigaya Komachi makes a prayer to the gods. It became completely dark out as I was reading my book. One of my bad habits that take hold of me when I was in the middle of a big cleanup or tidying things up was my “oops, I started reading a book habit”. Close call there… If what I was reading just now was a series, I would’ve found myself entranced in a reading marathon. And once I finished all the volumes, I’d end up spouting, “When’s the next volume coming out? Hurry up and do your job, author!” I lifted myself up from the sofa I was laying down on and returned the book I finished reading back to the shelf. With this, my big cleanup was all done. Nothing was actually tidied up, but whatever, I was done. In life, so as long as you were unable to get rid of your past stains, then I had to say, ultimately, cleanups were an impossible endeavor and thus, meaningless. If life was the stain itself, then regardless of what you tried, you’d never see an end to cleaning up your life. At any rate, since I was at least able to organize my bookshelf in my room, I made my return to the living room in triumph. Only a few more days were left of this year. Supposedly tomorrow was the last business day of the year for my parents. They had a lot of piled up work that needed to be taken care of so they were going to be running late tonight as well. For that reason, my mom had done her cleaning little by little as time permitted. Before long, the living room was neatly tidied up. But in the neat living room, there was an individual sprawled out on the floor, emitting some kind of ominous aura. Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 It was my little sister, Hikigaya Komachi. Her upper body poked out from the kotatsu and she was lying face down. Riding on her back was our beloved cat, Kamakura, who was grooming himself with his tongue. “What’s wrong with you…?” I asked her on reflex, but there was no reply. It’s just a corpse…1 Oh, c’mon, Komachi, dying here of all places, a little pathetic, you know… However, it looked rough having a cat on her back. It was almost as if she had been possessed by an earthbound spirit as she didn’t budge at all. On that note, I’d really like it if we could decide on whether an earthbound spirit cat was a cat, spirit, or a demon already, meow. I made my way into the kotatsu while lifting Kamakura off of Komachi’s back and loaded him onto my lap. Kamakura kneaded my lap to get comfortable, drooped his head and flopped over, sleeping again. Sorry for the bad sleeping spot. Forgive me, meow ♪! When I relieved Komachi of the weight on her back, she lifted her head. “Ah, onii-chan…” My little sister who was always adorable had the sinking, rotten eyes of a fish. Oh my, you’re just like your older brother! We really are siblings! So if Komachi’s cute and I was similar to her, then that meant I was cute! But, wait, those rotten eyes were seriously not cute. So if Komachi’s usual cuteness wasn’t enough to make her look cute, didn’t that mean I wasn’t cute, like, at all? Anyway, this was the first time I’ve ever seen Komachi look so backed up against the wall. “Komachi, you okay…?” “No… I’m done for…” Komachi grumbled and buried her face into her cushion again. She then uttered a delirious mutter with a fragmented Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 voice. “Must, get to cleaning… Gotta, throw away the trash… Need, to toss out onii-trash…” “Calm down Komachi. The house cleanup is more or less done. Also, it ain’t that easy cleaning up your onii-chan. You’d better be prepared for the long haul.” “Uuugh, as far as Komachi’s concerned, I just want you to get married off already…” She gave me a disgruntled look, but there really wasn’t much I could do about that. That’s like on the same hurdle as trying to marry off Hiratsuka-sensei, probably. As if you could marry off a guy as bothersome as me… But this wasn’t the time to be setting up my defensive barriers. Komachi was the issue here. For the most part, I had an idea as to why Komachi turned out this way. It was probably because of her exams. “Studying’s too hard”, “The mock exams went totally bad”, basically stuff like that. Ever since Christmas had ended, Komachi had muscled through days and nights of studying, but with the New Year right around the corner, she was now out of steam. Mumbling and sobbing, Komachi said, “Crap, crap crap…” She then made a glance at me. When I went quiet, Komachi shoved her face into the cushion again. She spoke with a muffled voice. “Sniff, uugh, I’m soooo tired…” She then made a glance at me. Man, she’s a freaking pain… However, I was a senior veteran onii-chan boasting fifteen years of service. It was times like these where I made sure to understand the right kinds of words to tell her. “Well, you know. Just studying all the time is a bit constraining. It’s almost New Year’s Eve, so why don’t we take a breather and go somewhere far for our first shrine visit of the year?” Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabu Kome wa Machigatteiru Volume 10 “Sure!” Komachi instantly answered and abruptly rose from her position. It looked like I was spot on. Of course, since I was a professional onii- chan, that’s par for the course here. As a matter of fact, I think this country should go ahead and prepare an onii-chan occupation. What the heck is an onii-chan occupation? Is that, like, being raised by your younger sister? Now that’s what I’d call an invincible job.
