Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"Isn't this line too passionate..."

If you don’t know, you would think you have come to a passionate high school.

Seeing Ryuen Sho leave, Hikigaya silently turned around and returned to Class D's classroom.

He spent the entire afternoon sighing in depression.

The whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and his mind was filled with only Shiina's day and related things...

"Did a zombie eat your brain?" Horikita, who was sitting in the back seat, saw all this and mocked without hesitation, "If someone didn't know, they would think you were infected with a virus."

"If I become a zombie, I will definitely bite you first and turn you into one of my own!"

"Haha, even if I become a zombie, I won't be a dead-eyed zombie like you, but a beautiful girl zombie."

"It's a relief that you can say such narcissistic words..."

Horikita Suzune's usual attitude brought Hikigaya back to his senses somewhat, and he realized that he couldn't continue to be negative like this.

You have to look forward.

But I can't see the road ahead at all. Shiina doesn't dare to come to school because of what I said. How can I get along well with her?

At this moment, Hikigaya inexplicably felt like he was back in elementary school. At that time, a student in his class transferred to another school. Before leaving, he made an appointment with everyone to contact each other by letter. However, he was the only one who did not receive a reply, so he thought that he had filled in the wrong address on the letter and it was not sent out.

Damn it, Kenta at the next table clearly received a reply...

"You're really scary when you're full of negative energy." Horikita Suzune felt very strange about Hikigaya's attitude, "Are you in trouble? Maybe you can tell me about it."

"Eh?"

Is Horikita actually willing to listen to him talk about his troubles?

Could it be that...they have become that kind of relationship?

Are you friends already?

"Don't get me wrong." As if sensing Hikigaya's thoughts, Horikita Suzune showed a cold expression, "I just want to listen to your troubles and then laugh at you loudly."

"It's really you..."

I wasn't hurt at all when I heard that.

Not at all!

After saying these cold words, Horikita Suzune looked at Hikigaya again and asked, "Are the problems you will encounter related to interpersonal relationships?"

"That's it."

"What happened exactly?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"Maybe I can give you some advice."

"..."

Hearing Horikita Suzune's words, Hikigaya turned back in surprise. He never expected that the other party would be willing to help him with advice.

Does the sun rise from the west?

"You helped me in the student union before, I just want to return the favor."

Horikita Suzune's tone was calm.

This made Hikigaya unable to doubt the other party's purpose, so he could only hesitate and then slowly express his distress.

He briefly explained what happened between himself and Shiina, and concealed the identities of the characters and the more specific relationship.

"I see. That's why you just now..."

"Do you feel like you've misunderstood something?"

Although Horikita Suzune seemed to have some misunderstanding, Hikigaya was too lazy to explain further and said, "Anyway, my relationship with that person is very bad now, but because of me, she seems to no longer want to come to the classroom. If possible, I hope she can recover."

"That sounds like trouble."

“It’s very troublesome.”

"I can't help it. The relationships between people are like this, unexpectedly fragile, and can be easily broken down by just a little thing." Horikita Suzune spoke slowly, as if she recalled something, "So I will stop contacting other people and stop this meaningless behavior of socializing."

Although Horikita Suzune's tone was as sarcastic as ever, Hikigaya now fully agreed with what she said.

He even had the same thought again, hoping that all girls in this world would be as straightforward as Horikita Suzune.

I don't know how much trouble it would save.

But this idea is still too masochistic.

"Should you try to apologize?" Horikita Suzune said hesitantly, "Although I don't have much experience, but since it's between you and that person, if you can apologize sincerely, maybe you can solve the problem."

"But did I do something wrong? There should be a reason to apologize."

"Unfortunately, I'm as socially awkward as you, so I can't think of that reason, but I think this is the best way to solve the problem."

"..."

Although Hikigaya was very dissatisfied with Horikita's attitude, he had to admit that what he said was correct.

If you want Shiina to be cheerful again, apologizing yourself would be a better choice.

"By the way, buy the other person some gifts they like when you apologize. This is the best advice I can give."

"How could you come up with such a suggestion?"

"I've read a novel before that has a plot like this. This kind of literature that is not serious at all also has meaningful content."

As he spoke, Horikita showed Hikigaya the novel in his hand.

The latter was surprised to find that it seemed to be a light novel... I don't know who influenced this guy to read this kind of thing!

Uh, it shouldn’t be me!

But all in all, the suggestion given by Horikita Suzune is indeed the best solution at the moment. The only problem is the reason for the apology and the choice of gift.

What kind of gift would Shiina like?

Or more generally, what kind of gifts would girls like?

Oh no, my brain went blank!

This kind of thing really requires asking someone, but who should I ask?

The woman closest to him, Horikita Suzune? No, no, no, this girl is a girl, but apart from that body, her other structures have nothing to do with these two words.

And if you think about the women he could connect with, Sakura Airi?

No, this guy is even more autistic than me, that won’t do!

Kushida Kikyo...I can't physically handle asking the other person.

Looking at it this way, there seems to be only one answer.

……

When school is over.

Hikigaya carefully walked to the edge of the corridor and waited patiently while thinking further about how to apologize to Shiina Hiyori.

at this time--

"You still remember to look for me."

The hot girl with blonde hair and a ponytail, Karuizawa Megumi, walked out from the side, her face full of resentment like a 'resentful woman in the boudoir'.

What's happening here?

Did I do something bad?

Why has the other party's resentment become so great?

However, by now, Hikigaya had become much smarter, and he said decisively: "I'm sorry."

"Eh, ah this..." Hikigaya's quick kneeling made Karuizawa Megumi's face full of astonishment, "Why are you apologizing to me?"

"Although I don't know the reason myself, my instinct is that I should do this."

"..."

Hikigaya's overly honest words made Karuizawa Megumi waver, and the girl fell silent.

She originally wanted to complain a few words, but now she was completely unable to speak.

This made her even more anxious, and she said loudly: "Humph, you are really annoying!"

Why was I still scolded?

Seeing Karuizawa Megumi's attitude, Hikigaya couldn't help but doubt whether apologizing would be useful. Was Horikita lying to me? !

Chapter 213: What would happen if Hikigaya went to that white room?

After school.

When she received the message from Hikigaya on her mobile phone, Karuizawa Kei was very happy and excited.

After all, from her perspective, Hikigaya hadn't approached her privately for a long time.

However, she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to look for the other party, so the relationship between the two of them was like complete strangers during this period of time, and they had not seen each other for a long time.

This undoubtedly made it difficult for Karuizawa Kei to accept, although she herself did not know the reason why she could not accept it.

Therefore, when she got the news, she turned down the invitations from other girls as soon as the get out of class was over and went to the end of the corridor alone.

However, while she was still happy about meeting Hikigaya, Hikigaya himself apologized for her complaints without any warning.

This made Karuizawa at a loss for words.

"Humph, you are still annoying!"

“Why did you still get scolded?”

Faced with the reality that he had apologized but still caused disgust from Karuizawa Kei, Hikigaya fell into extreme self-doubt for a while.

He first doubted whether apologizing was useful, and then he couldn't help but wonder if it was his own problem.

It's probably natural for the opposite sex to feel repulsed by a disgusting guy like me, right?

"..."

Seeing Hikigaya suddenly fall into a depressed state, Karuizawa also realized that she seemed to have said something wrong, but her overly proud personality prevented her from speaking her mind directly, so she could only say awkwardly: "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly, my time is very precious."

"oh oh."

After hearing what Karuizawa Megumi said, Hikigaya didn't waste any time and quickly expressed his distress: "My relationship with a certain girl has been a bit bad recently, so I want to apologize to her, and I also want to buy some gifts for her, but I don't know what to choose..."

"Is that so? You want to buy a gift to apologize... eh? Eh?!"

Suddenly, Hikigaya found that Karuizawa Megumi in front of him was stunned.

The girl with blonde hair and a ponytail seemed to have suddenly realized something, and a bright blush began to appear on her face.

What's wrong with this guy?

Have a fever?

"Karuizawa, are you sick? Do you want to go to the health room?"

Hikigaya said this, instinctively wanting to touch the girl's forehead to check her body temperature.

But Karuizawa took a step back almost instantly, dodged his move, and responded with a stammer: "No, I'm fine."

As Karuizawa spoke, the blush on her face not only did not subside, but continued to grow.

There was no way. Hikigaya's words just now made her almost instinctively misunderstand.

After all, Hikigaya's words sounded too much like 'the other party wants to apologize to me, but is too embarrassed to say it, so he asks me indirectly about what gift I like'.

However, Karuizawa Hui did not directly confirm that this was the fact. She hesitated and sent a test: "You, you said you wanted to apologize to a girl and buy her a gift? What kind of person is that girl you are talking about?"

"What kind of..."

Hikigaya thought about Shiina Hiyori for a moment and quickly concluded her characteristics: "She's the complete opposite of you."
