Listening to the girl exposing his words so ruthlessly, Hikigaya scratched his head in embarrassment for a moment and said nothing.

Sakura placed her gentle eyes on Hikigaya. After being purified by the starry sky, her sight seemed to become deeper, so clear without any impurities.

"Hachiman, you are obviously the gentlest person in the world, but you pretend to know nothing. But this way of deceiving yourself will not last long."

Feeling Sakura's deep gaze, Hikigaya seemed to be infected for a moment, but just stayed in place blankly.

"At that time, it was precisely because of your advance preparation that my photos were not exposed, and I did not let my classmates think that I was a casual person. At that time... I was really grateful to you. That feeling, until Now I can’t forget it.”

Hikigaya scratched his head, no longer focusing on Sakura, and pretended to be calm and said:

"I just did what I should do. If it were Hirata and the others, they wouldn't expose you. I'm not as great or as gentle as you said."

"But, it was you who stood in front of me at that time. Such lies are useless. Reality is reality, right Hachiman."

It was undeniable that there was nothing wrong with everything Sakura Airi said, because the past had happened and could not be changed, and the boy standing in front of her at that time was herself.

Although he never thought that she should repay him in this way, he just did what everyone would do, but Sakura didn't think so.

Hikigaya nodded, just nodding.

Sakura Airi still had that gentle smile, slowly facing the boy, showing her crimson color, and then gently held his hands.

The coldness in his hands seemed to be driven away in an instant, leaving only the warmth that he had never felt before. This move also made Hikigaya slightly stunned.

"Hachiman, right now I can't communicate normally with my classmates, and I can't help you with anything, but one day in the future, I will definitely help you, definitely."

Although Hikigaya Hachiman didn't know why the girl would make such an agreement with someone like him who was nothing, after all, compared to him, both Hirata and Yukimura were much better than him, and he was just an ordinary person. People, but the girl's deep emotions did indeed touch the boy's heart.

He nodded again and made this agreement with the girl on the starry night.

"Airi..."

The boy told her name calmly, without any expression on his face, but it made the girl's face become even scarier, as if a breath of air was going to hit her head and explode.

Sakura, who had never experienced such a scene before, became even more hesitant and unable to say a word.

"I know you are very dependent on me now. I can feel that maybe that scary guy is right (Yangno). This kind of relationship is wrong, and I have also fallen into this kind of wrong relationship. , so... I hope, Airi, you can truly grow up, walk your own path, and fulfill your heart's wishes. Only in this way can you be a real Tokyo idol and the real Sakura Airi."

The girl wanted to give a hesitant answer, but found that she could not speak at all. If she spoke the words now, she would not be able to stop.

Therefore, she just stared at the boy closely with her red cheeks and eyes full of light.

"Before that, you can come to me if you encounter difficulties."

Hikigaya himself was not shy about helping the girl in front of him if he could do so.

Sakura nodded again, as if everything was unspoken.

A gratified smile slowly unfolded under that beautiful face. Before the girl realized that she had grasped Hikigaya's big hand, she didn't give him any chance to escape.

【Service Club...】

[There was obviously some envy in Yuigahama's eyes, but his words were full of questions: "Is this the future Aqi? It doesn't feel so twisted anymore."]

[Hikigaya: "Idiot, I won't be twisted now..."]

[Yukikinoshita pressed her temples and said calmly behind the smile: "Hikigaya-kun, you have to think carefully before you say this."]

[Isshiki also moved closer to Hikigaya, pointing and saying: "Others don't know, I only know that you started seducing girls again, senior."]

[Hearing what Isshiki said, Yuigahama and Yukinoshita were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other as if they had completed psychological communication. 】

[Yukishita: "Hikigaya-kun, you have to explain why you will be like this in the future."]

[Obviously Yuigahama did not stand on Hikigaya's side this time, but said with a bad smile: "Yes, yes, isn't Hikigaya supposed to be a person who is indifferent to emotions when he grows up?"]

[Hikigaya complained with a look of helplessness: "They say it's me from the future. Even if you ask me now, I don't know how to tell you, and... I'm a human, not a cat, idiot, I still have feelings."]

[As soon as he finished speaking, Hikigaya regretted saying this. The keyword "cat" was triggered. Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have suddenly changed. He stared at Hikigaya with extremely angry eyes. valley. 】

['This guy has regarded all those who say something bad about cats as eternal enemies... What a terrible cat slave. '】

[Yuigahama also noticed something bad, and immediately pulled Aqi and said: "Mao Mao is super cute, right? How about we go see Mao Mao together after the holiday this week."]

[Hikigaya nodded quickly. Although he was still thinking that 'cats are really not very empathetic creatures', he was still very obedient when death was approaching. 】

[The young man said in agreement: "Yes, yes, Komachi seems to want a cat doll too. Let's go and have a look this week."]

[After hearing the words of the two people who reacted very quickly, Yukinoshita's angry mood slowly calmed down. Accidents always happen in various places. Miura Yuko, who obviously did not feel the murderous intention, has not noticed the problem at this moment. Regarding the seriousness of the situation, he just said very calmly: "I feel that cats are not as cute as dogs. After all, dogs are more clingy. How about Hayama let's go see the dogs together this week."]

[The terrifying pressure once again fell on everyone in the service club. Fortunately, Yishi quickly smoothed things over and said: "Cats are also very cute. Of course, everyone has their own preferences for radish and green vegetables, as long as you like them."]

[Finally, the coercion ended. It was the great Isshiki Iroha who rescued everyone here. Her greatness should be praised by future generations. Today's battle will be passed on in the service society forever until the society disappears completely. The 'Battle of Cats and Dogs' will be deeply engraved in the hearts of both of them. 】

[After Yukinoshita listened to Iroha's words, she also felt that she was too forced on others. After reconciling with herself, she seemed to have completely forgotten about Hikigaya. 】

【Cat>Hikigaya】

[Ishiroha and Yuigahama Yui understand that this is a short time without fighting, and they also feel that this time is hard-won, and they will not continue the topic just now. 】

[In the first-year Class D, some people are still paying attention to the young boy Hikigaya Hachiman in front of them, such as Horikita Suzune. She knows that she has communicated with him in the video quite a lot, but she has not experienced it in person. She still couldn't detect where his magic power was, but she could only see her own changes in confusion and relief. Obviously, that kind of self was what her brother expected, and she finally understood this truth. 】

[And he is still changing the people in the class unknowingly. Just like Sakura Airi, many people in the class are paying attention to her, and Yamauchi is the most typical one. 】

[After completely seeing her appearance after taking off her glasses, he has become unable to extricate himself. There are strange things in his mind every day, but it is a pity that Sakura has always been wary of him, or she is absolutely Sense of distance. 】

[Most of their classmates are paying attention to the upcoming survival on the uninhabited island. Although they have just experienced those seven days, if they are asked to experience it again, they will not be willing to say anything. They have already experienced it in those seven days. After experiencing too many difficulties, whether it was the invasion of other classes or the internal strife in their own class, they did not want to try again. 】

[The sinister part of human nature is the most untestable. You never know whether the true face behind a person is a devil or an angel. 】

[A person who seems gentle may be a devil, and a person who seems difficult to communicate may be a kind person at heart. 】

[Sudo: "If I could go back to the first day of the exam, I would definitely not let that guy from Kogenji deduct thirty of our class points."]

[Yukimura was a little helpless, but he was still forced to accept the fact: "Forget it Sudou, you can't stop him."]

[Miyake Akito: "In short, our final result is good, and that is enough. That guy at Kogenji is not someone who can be controlled at all."]

[Wang Meiyu: "I think... I think, I think Miyake is right."]

[Kushida also began to play the role of the backbone, and said lightly: "Yes, yes, we were able to get No. 1 in the uninhabited island exam, and it will be the same again."]

[Hirata seemed to agree with Kushida's words. He simply spread his hands and said calmly: "As long as we unite as one, there is nothing we can't do, right?"]

[Karuizawa immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, Hirata is right, this school is nothing special. Look, we caught up immediately this semester, and it was even more powerful in the video. In an instant It jumped to the same level as Class C."]

[With everyone talking, the level of discussion in the class started to rise in an instant. Obviously, they have not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. Only the young man sitting in the corner of the classroom, expressionless at the moment, just looked at Looking at the video in front of him, and the young man who replaced him. 】

"What about Hikigaya and Sakura-san?"

A gentle female voice came from afar, and the girl who had just held Hikigaya's hands was instantly brought back to reality, and she put down her hands with some fear.

Obviously, she is still somewhat shy in front of outsiders. She and Kushida Horikita have known each other for about the same length of time, and she obviously prefers Horikita's side. Even though Horikita is arrogant, blind, confident and ruthless, She still prefers Horikita.

Kushida Kikyo, the all-rounder, always seemed to have a sense of distance. She couldn't explain why. Maybe it was a sixth sense unique to girls.

As expected, it was Kushida. She was slowly walking around the corner behind the deck, with that familiar smile on her face.

"It's so late, what are you doing?"

There was no trace of malice, but it instantly made the two of them blush. Apparently Sakura couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore, so she said directly to the two of them:

"I'm going back to my room first."

Then, he ran back in a hurry.

Kushida was obviously a little confused and continued to ask with a cute expression:

"So Hikigaya, you haven't told me what you are doing? Are you kissing secretly?"

Although he knew that the other party was making fun of him, Hikigaya still turned his head in a somewhat extreme manner and pretended to be calm and said:

"No...we are here, looking at the stars."

Hikigaya has never experienced this kind of situation. If it were a year ago, he would probably never have this kind of situation in his life. But now... it's like being caught in rape. Hikigaya doesn't know how to answer at all. .

No one would believe it when he looked at the stars, especially Kushida.

Without even thinking about it, she would immediately say something like, "You should make up a better excuse."

However, Kushida just smiled, his gentle smile, and then looked up at the stars.

"So that's it, I'm looking at the stars..."

This topic passed without too much teasing, and Hikigaya didn't expect it at all.

"The starry sky is really beautiful. I have never seen so many stars."

Hikigaya obviously hadn't recovered from the situation just now, but he still managed to say: "Me too..."

Kushida deliberately approached the boy and wrapped his arms around the boy with his huge arms. By the time he reacted, it was too late to break away.

Kushida didn't seem to care about this at all, but pointed his finger to the sky and said with great relief:

"Look at the stars, don't they look like us..."

"?"

"Everyone has an unknown appearance in his heart. Perhaps what others know about him is just a star on the surface, but there are countless stars behind him."

"What does it mean that people can never empathize with others? Or do you mean that people can never understand another person?"

Kushida smiled and nodded, wrapping his arms tighter, making Hikigaya's already red cheeks turn even redder.

"Yeah, yeah! As expected of Hikigaya! He knows all the truth."

"Since you said it's impossible for one person to understand another person forever, it means that no matter how I answer, it's only ninety percent."

Hikigaya was puzzled by her joy. After all, if one person can never understand another person, then this kind of relationship that cannot be called a real thing is sad.

The girl froze in place for a moment, then her cheerful smile disappeared, and her tightly wrapped arms slowly loosened, replaced by an extremely indifferent smile.

"You are right, but now you have perfect scores."

Hikigaya shook his head, admitting that he had not reached that level.

"There are so many stars in the sky. If you want to understand every star, it may take you a lifetime to do it. But...some people will still be like moths to a flame, familiar with, understand and accompany them, just like moon."

Kushida smiled slightly and said as if he was mocking himself:

"Are you talking about stars or people?"

"Who knows, maybe throughout your life, the person who knows you best is yourself. This is also a true portrayal of most people... But."

"but?"

Kushida raised his head and looked at the boy with some confusion.

"Sometimes, if you don't try, you can't know the outcome in advance. If that kind of relationship really exists in the world, if there is that kind of relationship where you know yourself as you know your enemy, and if it can really accommodate that kind of relationship without any lies, Then I will spend my whole life pursuing it.”

A seemingly ordinary boy, who claims to live a stable life and become a househusband, actually has such a lofty goal. It is obvious how illusory this is, and Kushida Kikyo knows it best.

However, he said that he would spend his whole life pursuing it.

Kushida smiled, laughed heartily, as if he was mocking Hikigaya and mocking himself.

"Hikigaya-san, are you really curious? What would that kind of relationship be called?"

"The real thing."

"The real thing...? If one day you really find a relationship like that, I want to see it with my own eyes."

Hikigaya nodded and agreed to Kushida Kikyo's true request.

Whether in that world or this world, in the past or in the future, Hikigaya would often think about whether what he was pursuing all his life existed.

Perhaps, this is the reason why he traveled to different worlds, or the reason.

If it doesn't exist in this world, go to the next one until you find it.

Hikigaya didn't know yet that his journey had just begun, and the road he was on now was just a short journey.

Carve your goals firmly in your heart. Only in this way can you have a resilient heart when encountering difficulties.

Kushida slowly distanced himself from the boy, as if everything had stopped being deliberate, and instead spoke with a true state of mind:

"Hikigaya-kun, you are such a gentle person."

"Then, I'm going back to my room. We will definitely win the exam tomorrow."

As the girl waved goodbye, Hikigaya watched her slowly leave the deck.

After walking around the corner, the short-haired girl just said to herself:

"Does the real thing...really exist? This world."

She quickened her pace and tried to pretend that the ripples in her heart had never appeared. Even so, the boy's words had already touched her only sincerity.
