Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Upon hearing what Hikigaya said, the clerk's eyes suddenly turned into a hostile red.

Seeing that the other party was about to judge her, Karuizawa sighed helplessly: "I'm sorry, my boyfriend is a bit mean, please don't mind it."

"???"

After saying that, she ignored Hikigaya's confusion, took his wrist, and led him into the store.

The next step is to choose gifts.

As expected of an experienced hot girl, Karuizawa Megumi easily selected several gifts for Hikigaya that looked suitable for giving to girls.

Hikigaya's favorite is a white headdress.

It's just that the colors match, and it's definitely not intended to be used to put Shiina's hair up in a ponytail and shout "I'm dead".

However, although Hikigaya felt that it was enough, Karuizawa was still not satisfied and wanted to drag Hikigaya to other stores to continue shopping.

But to be honest, Hikigaya was so tired that he could hardly walk.

This is not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.

He couldn't stand the strange looks from the surrounding celebrities.

"There's really nothing I can do. Let's go to the coffee shop next door and take a rest."

After Karuizawa Kei finished speaking, she ignored Hikigaya's attitude and directly pulled him towards the coffee shop.

At this moment, Hikigaya suddenly noticed a familiar white figure appearing in the crowd.

Hikigaya instinctively looked over because he was familiar with the man, and found that the other person was also looking at him.

"Shiina, Shiina?"

"Hikigaya-san?"

The sudden encounter made the atmosphere suddenly cold.

Especially when Shiina Hiyori's eyes were focused on Karuizawa Megumi beside Hikigaya, a clear darkness appeared in his eyes...

Chapter 218 Kushida: If I want to be with you, will you help me?

Ever since she parted with Hikigaya at the entrance of Class D that day, Shiina Hiyori fell into a state of depression. She locked herself in the dormitory and even stopped going to classes.

She herself knew that this was not the right way to go. Not only was it irresponsible to herself, but the school would not allow her to keep escaping like this.

But Shiina had no way to adjust his mentality by himself. Whenever he thought back to it, the pain and regret from the bottom of his heart would surge out like a tide.

This went on for several days.

Until her classmate Ibuki Mio came to her and said that Ryuuen no longer had any patience and that she had to come to school as soon as possible.

But Shiina still couldn't adjust his mood.

So Ibuki Mio suggested that maybe they could go out and relax.

Shiina followed this advice and came to the shopping mall on the weekend, hoping to relax and stop thinking about what had happened before.

But unexpectedly, I bumped into someone familiar...

"H-Hikigaya-san?"

"Uh, Shiina...?"

The moment they saw each other, Hikigaya and Shiina Hijikazu both fell into an awkward situation, and a strange silence fell between them.

The situation was so embarrassing that the former couldn't help but want to pick his toes.

In this strange atmosphere, Karuizawa seemed to notice the atmosphere and looked at the two of them curiously.

She approached Hikigaya with a hint of curiosity and whispered in his ear, "Is she the one you were planning to give a gift to apologize to? She looks like a cute girl... I didn't expect you to hook up with someone from another class."

Hikigaya did not respond to Karuizawa's words.

Although he wanted to complain about the other party's "hooking up", the shock of suddenly meeting Shiina again still made him speechless.

“Ah… um, that…”

Shiina Hiyori's gaze moved back and forth between Hikigaya and Karuizawa, as if she wanted to test their relationship, but she couldn't say anything when the words came to her lips.

Because she realized that she did not have the identity and position to speak out about this issue.

"What a coincidence, Shiina."

Hikigaya finally mustered up the courage to speak. He had already made up his mind to apologize to the other party, so it was impossible for him to back down under such circumstances.

He planned to take advantage of this opportunity to give the gift to the other party and apologize in order to restore his relationship with Shiina.

However, what confused Hikigaya was that after hearing his words, Shiina showed inexplicable fear and his body trembled slightly.

"Sorry, I seem to have disturbed you..." After saying that, Shiina crossed his arms in front of his chest and turned away.

Seeing this scene, Hikigaya was slightly stunned.

He was not a fool, so he had almost guessed that Shiina seemed to have a misunderstanding, and the other party might have mistakenly thought that he was dating Karuizawa.

This kind of thing is obviously impossible if you just use your brain a little bit, but has Shiina lost even this level of thinking ability?

The best way at this time is to clarify the facts yourself.

But it was also difficult to say "I'm not dating Karuizawa". It was simply too self-conscious, and Hikigaya could never say it out loud.

So, it seems there is only one choice.

"Shiina-san." Hikigaya looked at the girl in the distance, "Can we meet in the evening? I have something I want to tell you."

"..."

Hearing Hikigaya's words, Shiina Hiyori showed obvious fear. She turned her head in panic, and her expression on the face she looked at Hikigaya was obviously nervous.

"I-I'll think about it."

"Well, if you agree, let Ryuen call me."

"it is good."

Shiina's voice was very soft, with a troubled smile on her face. If she wasn't such a gentle girl, she would probably have refused at the first moment.

Hikigaya felt helpless when he saw the other person hunching over and leaving silently, disappearing into the crowd, but he didn't say anything more.

He believed that as long as he made a formal apology later, Shiina would be able to understand him.

So he turned to Karuizawa and said, "Sorry, it seems that's all for today. Thank you very much for choosing the gift. I will definitely find a way to compensate you in the future."

"I don't need any compensation." Although she said this, Karuizawa still spoke with a proud look on her face, "If you really want to repay me, then treat me to dessert someday! I want the most expensive one!"

"it is good."

Hikigaya had long been accustomed to Karuizawa's reaction, so he nodded and left.

When seeing Hikigaya's leaving back, Karuizawa's pupils flashed with obvious ripples, and finally revealed an obvious look of disappointment.

……

Now that he had made an appointment with Shiina, Hikigaya naturally had to start preparing for this matter.

Regardless of whether Shiina is willing to meet him or not, he must make comprehensive preparations and must not make any mistakes in his subsequent apology.

He even stayed in his dormitory alone to practice, which showed that he put a lot of effort into it.

Just when he felt that he was getting more and more comfortable with his feelings and would soon be able to make a perfect apology, the dormitory bell suddenly rang.

"Ding dong!" "Ding dong!"

Who is coming?

Faced with this overly strange development, Hikigaya began to think a lot in his mind, and couldn't help but suspect that Shiina Hiyori had inquired about the location of his dormitory and came directly to his dormitory.

Although this development is a bit subtle, it does not seem impossible.

But the problem is that I haven’t rehearsed it yet!

Hikigaya came to the door with a panicked look on his face, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

In front of me is a short-haired girl wearing a mask with a gentle smile.

"Good afternoon, Hikigaya-san."

"...Kushida?"

Is the opening method wrong?

Hikigaya was suspicious and closed the door.

After thinking silently for a few seconds, he opened the door again, and in front of him was still the girl with a curvy figure, very attractive.

But for some reason, a few pimples appeared on Kushida's forehead.

"Is this how you treat guests rudely?"

"No, the question is why are you in my dorm?"

"I think it's normal for classmates to go into the dormitory."

No, that's not normal at all, is it?

So far, apart from that abnormal guy from Karuizawa, no one has ever come to my dormitory...

Forget it, it seems that there are very few normal people in this school.

"sorry for disturbance."

While Hikigaya was wondering in his heart, Kushida Kikyo walked into Hikigaya's dormitory on her own and said with a smile: "Hikigaya-san, don't just stand there, close the door quickly."

"If someone hears what you say, it will definitely lead to misunderstanding..."

Hikigaya sighed and closed the door tightly.

Almost at the moment the door closed, Kushida Kikyo's expression changed drastically, and her originally gentle smile was covered by gloom and indifference.

"So what if there's a misunderstanding? Are you still not happy?"

"No, I mean you probably don't want it."

Hikigaya calmly responded to Kushida's changed expression.

In a sense, he quite likes the two-faced Kushida.

After all, once the other party reveals his true identity, he will become like Horikita Suzune, speaking his mind.

This is really a good thing for Hikigaya, who has been in trouble recently. It allows him to get along with others more easily without having to make any boring speculations.

"you……"

When Kushida heard what Hikigaya said, her expression changed inexplicably, but she quickly recovered and said loudly: "Even if people see me with a low-class person like you, most people won't think we have any relationship, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Too."

Hikigaya nodded.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that it would be great if Chihiro Shiranami from Class B had the same awareness as Kushida.

"..."

Kushida Kikyo was very dissatisfied with Hikigaya's reaction. She had originally said these words to irritate this dead-eyed guy and to vent the emotions that had accumulated in her heart during this period of time.

But unexpectedly, Hikigaya had no reaction at all, which made her feel confused as if her fist had missed.

In desperation, Kushida Kikyo could only get to the point: "Hikigaya, you should still remember the agreement you made with me, right?"

"Remember, I'll help you gain popularity and defeat Horikita."

"Yeah, but what's going on now?" Kushida Kikyo said with a look of resentment, "After the incident with Sudo, Horikita's popularity is almost catching up with mine! The guys in Class D said on the surface that they don't like Horikita's personality, but privately they all showed recognition of Horikita's abilities... That damn bitch!!"

Is Kushida so hostile towards Horikita?

Even though Hikigaya knew that Kushida and Horikita didn't get along, he couldn't help but be surprised to see the other man attack Horikita so angrily.

Maybe there are some things happening between them that I am not aware of.

Just when Hikigaya was thinking about it, Kushida Kikyo suddenly looked at him with a cold gaze, "Hikigaya, last time, you helped that bitch Horikita, right?!"

"..."

Hikigaya was stunned for a moment, not expecting Kushida to suddenly point the finger at him. Then he nodded without hesitation: "Yes, so what?"
