Chapter 85 Chapter 74 It was clearly me who came first.
“You mean Kawasakisan goes home very late every day because she’s working at a place called Angel Ladd on the top floor of the Royal Oka Hotel? And she’s been hiding her age!?”
Yuigahama Yuika from the Service Club widened her eyes in surprise. “How did Snow know this?”
“I had someone look into it.” Yukinoshita Yukino brushed aside a stray strand of hair, looking as though she didn’t want to delve deeper into the matter.
It must have been through the high school students…
Given that Yukinoshita, the club leader, wouldn’t rely on privileges, Hachiman had little difficulty guessing that it was Lin Qi’s idea; however, he had no objections to it and felt it saved him the effort of doing his own investigation.
He searched up the name on his phone: “The Angel Ladder, apparently it’s quite a place. You also need to meet the dress code to enter.”
“For tonight, we’ll be meeting at 9 PM,” Yukino concluded.
After school, Hachiman Hikigaya dug out a white suit from his father’s belongings, while Yuigahama Yuika had to borrow one of Yukinoshita Yukino’s dresses, forcing her to accompany Yukino back to her house.
That evening, Hachiman, dressed in his father’s white suit with his hair combed in a more mature style, arrived early at the Oka Hotel, looking much more grown-up despite his perpetually lifeless eyes, which somewhat ruined the atmosphere. He appeared oddly mismatched.
Ten minutes before their agreed time, Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yuika turned up, fully groomed.
Yuigahama donned a corset red gown that accentuated her chest quite visibly. Even in an adult dress that was otherwise mature and sophisticated, her youthful charm could not be concealed, enhancing the striking contrast and making her incredibly captivating.
Yukinoshita, on the other hand, wore a black dress with off-the-shoulder sleeves embroidered with lace trim, reaching down to her ankles. The intricate detail of her white skin was enhanced, making her look like a snow scene in Lapland—pure, unblemished snow under the constant glow of starlight, stretching boundlessly. Her waist-length dark hair was tied into a bun, held close to her chest, giving her an air of elegant sophistication befitting a lady.
“All here now, let’s go,” Yukinoshita said indifferently, ignoring the astonished gazes from passersby.
The three stepped onto the hotel elevator, heading up to the twenty-fourth floor. As each new floor flashed by on the elevator’s display, Hachiman Hikigaya and Yuigahama Yuika, having never been to places like this before, began to feel a bit nervous.
