I, Hikigaya, the Fourth True Ancestor

"My request is not that boring." Tianzhong Mercury was surrounded by dark black spiritual blood. He smiled very casually: "No matter how many reinforcements you recruit, I don't care. The sage will answer my prayer. .”

"Your prayer? Sage?" Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned. He always felt that the mental state of Amatsuka Mercury in front of him was not right. He felt like a student suffering from some kind of mental illness. The words he spoke were also very dangerous. .

"That's right. In response to my prayer to turn back into a human, the sage has promised to fulfill my wish."

The gentle and soft smile on Amazuka's face had disappeared, and the corners of his mouth were split into a somewhat terrifying arc.

"I feel like you're saying something very dangerous. Could you please stop?"

"It can't be done."

"Can we just do it?"

"You can give it a try, Thousand Leaf Tiger."

"I really hate that nickname."

Shizuka Hiratsuka threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot. After all, this is a deep mountain and old forest, and it is very dangerous to handle things like pipes improperly.

"Yun Congtuo stele, Yan Yan fire appears, three bright silent gods, help me destroy all evil spirits!"

The shadow of the towering statue slowly emerged, and red flame lines like blazing flames climbed up the body of Hiratsuka Shizuka. Although he felt that he was no match for him, he had no choice but to bite the bullet now.

……

Chiba Village seemed very peaceful at night, but Hikigaya was a little uneasy, and he felt a little unable to relax.

"Hikigaya-kun, the children have basically been settled, but there are very few rooms, tents and other sleeping supplies left. The girls can make do with it together, and we boys will have to work harder."

The person who explained the situation to Hikigaya was Hayama Hayato. He was good at communicating with people and handling things. He could also get along with most people. He could get along well with even children. He was a super handy worker... a good person. .

"Thank you for your hard work, Hayama. I'm not very good at doing this kind of thing."

"Not really. Although Hikigaya-san seems to be a solitary type, he actually has good relations with many classmates, right?"

Hayama Hayato showed a sunny smile. To be honest, what Hikigaya hated most in the past was this kind of nemesis, but he had to admit that Hayama Hayato was not bad at getting along with swordsmen like this.

Of course, as for those classmates he was referring to, Hikigaya felt that those who could get along well with him were not normal people.

"Actually, you missed a restless little tail."

"Ah, what do you mean by little tail?"

"Which class are you in? Why don't you go to bed?"

Hikigaya smelled it gently in the darkness of the corner, and then a little girl slowly walked out from the corner.

Her limbs are healthy and slender, and her straight black hair is slightly purple. Compared with other children, she looks a little more adult.The clothes she wears are also very feminine, and she will look particularly elegant among a group of primary school students.

Honestly, she's really cute and catches the eye easily.

Yukinoshita Yukino often claims that she was very cute when she was a child. Hikigaya has never seen what she looked like, but now looking at this little girl Hikigaya Hachiman can almost imagine what Yukinoshita looked like when she was a child.

"Hikigaya-san, don't be so cruel to children." Hayama Hayato said this, approaching the little girl with a smile. His smile was extremely friendly. Such a handsome big brother is probably the most admired object of elementary school girls. .

"Tsurumi Rumi." Unexpectedly, the little girl didn't seem to be very cold to Hayama Hayato, and she answered reluctantly, turning her head.

"It will be very dangerous outside. Go back to your room and sleep with your classmates." Hayama Hayato didn't take it seriously. He was not the type who would show off his face when being treated coldly, and he still persuaded him easily.

This guy is a good old man, Hikigaya can tell, but the current situation doesn't seem to be a matter of talking nicely.

Hikigaya has a vague impression of this elementary school student. This group of lively and cheerful elementary school students is basically a small group of five people working in a group, but...

She was alone outside the team, and the other four people looked back at her from time to time, secretly laughing at the girl in voices that only each other could hear. Although the voices were very low, the vampire Octavia's hearing could still be heard clearly.

Factions, cliques, and isolation started in elementary school...

That's not a bad thing, though.

Everyone has to face one or two moments of loneliness in his or her life—more precisely, one must endure loneliness.There is something wrong with always being with other people and always having people around you. It makes you feel uncomfortable.

Hikigaya Hachiman always believes that there must be some things that can only be learned and felt in solitude.

"I'll take you back." Hayama Hayato said naturally. He could always communicate with unfamiliar people naturally. Hikigaya Hachiman felt that he would never be able to do this kind of thing in his life.

"Let her stay, Hayama." Hikigaya said, "I will see to it that she is fine."

She would be ostracized even if she went back. Hikigaya Hachiman knew this kind of thing. Even if Hayama took her back, the other little girls in the group wouldn't say anything because of Hayama's face.

But that kind of silent cold violence and exclusion in the atmosphere will make people feel bad, and children are no exception.

Hearing this, Hayama said nothing: "Then Hikigaya-san, look at her a little, and I'll go inside and take a look."

Watching Hayama Hayato leave, Tsurumi Rumi didn't say anything. She just imitated Hikigaya Hachiman and sat cross-legged next to Hikigaya.

After a moment of silence, Tsurumi Rumi asked: "Are you their boss?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because they all seem to listen to you."

"Because these are extraordinary times."

"Is it because there is a murderer? I'm telling you the truth."

"It's much more dangerous than that."

Chapter 157 Tsurumi Rumi, do you long for power?

First of all, let me state that Hikigaya Hachiman is definitely not a lolicon. Even if his aesthetics is a bit more youthful, he is definitely not a lolicon, at least not for elementary school students!

And the reason why Tsurumi Rumi stayed behind was probably because he saw something in her body?Maybe he was talking about Yukinoshita, or maybe he was talking about Hikigaya Hachiman himself.

Can it also be said to be a sympathy between loners?Of course, Hikigaya Hachiman is no longer a loner, he can be considered a family man.

Unexpectedly, the conversation between him and Rumi Tsurumi went smoothly. Perhaps it was because people without friends knew better how to chat with people without friends?

"Is it much more dangerous than a murderer?" Although the elementary school student is not very sensible, he is still familiar with murderers at this age, not to mention Tsurumi Rumi seems to be a relatively precocious type.

"It's much more dangerous. He's a magical criminal, a criminal with supernatural abilities."

"So you're responsible for protecting us?"

"Well, as long as you don't escape my sight."

"They call you Hikigaya, what's your name?"

"Hachiman, Hikigaya Hachiman."

"Are you a Bodhisattva?"

"No, just an ordinary high school boy."

It was natural for the noisy wind to blow in the summer night. As a vampire, Hikigaya was naturally energetic at night. It was just right for him to keep vigil.

However, sitting alone outside the venue would be a bit boring, so having a little devil to talk to seemed not bad.

"I don't believe it, you're lying."

"Can't you make friends?"

Hikigaya Hachiman changed the topic of course, and revealed the cruel truth with one sentence. The grouping in elementary schools should not be so rigid. They usually form teams with friends. Tsurumi's isolation at the U.S. Club was obviously arranged. .

"I was surrounded by a bunch of brats. Although I used to cooperate with them, I started to feel that it was meaningless and stopped doing it. Anyway, I can live well by myself."

"B-but, your friends and memories from elementary school are very important to you."

When Hikigaya said this, it felt like the content of Yukinoshita's serious preaching. It seemed a bit outrageous for him to explain it. After all, he didn't have any good memories of elementary school that were worthy of nostalgia.

It’s better to say it’s all black history, let’s explode the world!

"I don't need those memories... After I enter junior high school, I can just make friends with classmates from other places."

Rumi Tsurumi suddenly raised his head and focused his eyes on the sky.At this moment, the moon and stars are sparse, and the magpies are flying south. The dark blue color of the night renders the sky, and the stars are shining leisurely.

Her ethereal eyes were quite sad, but also full of beautiful fantasy.

Rumi Tsurumi still believed and looked forward to it, thinking that everything would get better after entering a new environment.

However, that is just a beautiful dream.

"Under normal circumstances, this is just wishful thinking."

"Why?" Tsurumi Rumi looked at Hikigaya Hachiman in confusion: "You are like me, too. I can feel that you are surrounded by many friends now."

Lone Rangers are indeed attracted to each other. Tsurumi Rumi's feeling is indeed correct. Hikigaya Hachiman is indeed the same type as her, at least he used to be.

"Some things can't be changed by time." Hikigaya ruthlessly exposed Tsurumi Rumi's fantasy. He became what he is now because of no change in time or environment.

Even though Tsurumi Rumi has an outstanding appearance and a good conversational skills, her character and habit of being separated from others also destined her to be difficult to get along with ordinary people.

"Your classmates will also enter the same junior high school in the future. Then everything will happen again. You will be squeezed out together with your classmates from other places."

When you go from a local public elementary school to a public junior high school, the interpersonal relationships you have built in the past will continue, so the negative image you had in elementary school will follow Tsurumi who studied in the United States and enter junior high school.

Even if Tsurumi Rumi makes new friends by then, the debts from the past will still seep in from somewhere.

At that time, whether she wants it or not, her past will become the butt of jokes or the topic of gossip, spread widely.To other men and women, she is of no more use than a pleasant exchange.

This is a tragic past, imagining it really makes Hikigaya feel like crying.

"I don't know." Rumi Tsurumi buried her head in her arms and started to escape like an ostrich.

But she knew that what Hikigaya Hachiman said was true, but it was just a series of exclusions. She couldn't even explain why. The atmosphere caused friends who were originally willing to play with her to quietly stay away.

"Do you know what can change all this?" First of all, he stated that Hikigaya Hachiman was definitely not a lolicon, but he still couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw Rumi Tsurumi like this.

"What is it?" Rumi Tsurumi still didn't raise her head. She was probably an elementary school student who was afraid of being seen with her red eyes, but she was still curious about what changes Hikigaya Hachiman was talking about.

"Tsurumi Rumi, do you long for power?"

For no reason, Hikigaya Hachiman said something that theoretically should not be spoken to elementary school students. Such lines for middle school students must be spoken to at least junior high school students.

"Huh?" Tsurumi had great doubts in Rumi's little head. When the little ostrich finally raised its buried head, Hikigaya Hachiman's scarlet eyes suddenly shone into her pupils.

"Hachiman's eyes are so strange. Are you sick?"

"It's not polite to call me Hikigaya-senpai."

"No, just call Hachiman."

Today's elementary school students... Hikigaya doesn't care. Children always have the privilege of being a little willful. For a cute child like Tsurumi Rumi, it is easier for adults to tolerate her little willfulness.
