Which Hyuga Did You Drop?

[Naruto and Haikyuu are complete; Danganronpa has begun]

(I'll forget the timeline, plot, and order of events between the two stories if I write them in tandem with the one next door...! (tears) I'll come over as soon as I finish the other one, which should be soon!! I'm getting a new cover ready for this story, and I'll release it early! I'll update a chapter when the new cover comes out! (salutes)

(I'm a coward and only dare reply to comments after updating (meaning there'll be a new chapter by the time I reply (kneels)

Hinata's memories were fragmented, but she still remembered that she had an older brother.

He'd been missing for so long and still hadn't come back. What an inconsiderate guy. Hinata huffed angrily as she drifted from place to place, working odd jobs and asking after her brother.

After searching again and again without success, she finally broke down at the cafe where she worked. She banged her head against the wall twenty-two times, pounded the table thirty-three times, wiped away tears fifty-five times, then, in a daze, served a certain boy a dessert she had paid for herself for the ninety-ninth time.

The hundredth time, she burst into tears. "It's been six years. Three years, then another three years! I'm practically old enough to work legally now, and I still haven't found my useless brother! Waaah!"

The boy silently gripped his spoon. He asked, "What does your brother look like?"

"I don't remember."

"How old is he?"

"I don't remember."

"What's his name?"

"I don't remember."

"...Then what are you called?"

"Me? I'm Hinata."

"And then?"

"There's no 'then.' Just Hinata."

The boy fell into another strange silence.

"So, what kind of person is your brother?"

"H-he seems pretty strict, and he's incredibly capable..."

The boy settled on a candidate.

"He seems really cheerful, and he's very determined..."

The boy slowly stopped what he was doing.

"He should be kind and upright, but he can be stubborn..."

The boy expressionlessly scooped up a spoonful of strawberry parfait.

"Are you sure you're talking about the same person?"

"I told you, I don't remember!"

The exhausted boy tossed Hinata into another world.

"Let's try them one at a time and see which one is your brother."

It had been a long time since he'd met a god so easy to bribe. The boy ate the last bite of dessert, thoroughly pleased.

"Once you find him, remember to bring me plenty of strawberries as an offering."

The three Hinatas: A chill ran down their backs.

P.S. Neji + Shoyo + Hajime. Three Hinatas mean triple the fun.

Coming-of-age + daily life + helping them out + my own take

Blurb updated. 2022.8.9

I'll do my best to update at least once a week. I'm a busy STEM student, so that's the minimum.

The story next door, This Was Originally a Packed Lunch, is updating now. Coming soon: What's Wrong with Jump Series Friendship? and Patchwork Doll. Come take a look!

Theme: If we give it our all, we'll meet again in the end.
