Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

At the same time, Sakura Airi followed Hikigaya silently.

Ever since the last incident, she would always unconsciously focus her eyes on the other person when she sat in the classroom.

It is clear that in the past, I could only keep my head down in the classroom. I didn’t even have the courage to look at others and could only curl up in the corner.

But after that incident, she seemed to have gained courage from somewhere and began to pay attention to her surroundings, especially the figure of Hikigaya, which began to appear frequently in her sight.

However, even though she had the courage, Sakura Airi still didn't dare to go directly to the other person in front of other people.

Especially when Hikigaya was with beautiful girls in the class like Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo, she couldn't take the initiative to talk to Hikigaya.

If possible, she really hoped that Hikigaya would take the initiative to talk to her, but obviously, this was impossible.

What kind of girl would Hikigaya-san like?

Sakura Airi has had this thought in her mind from time to time recently, because she found that although Hikigaya looked aloof, there were always girls around him.

I am such a rustic and cowardly person, there is no way the other person will like me.

But when it comes to change, she doesn't know how to do it.

She couldn't be as strong and brave as Horikita Suzune, nor could she be as popular as Kushida Kikyo. As for those girls from other classes whom she didn't know, Sakura had no way of imitating them.

This made her feel inexplicably upset.

Therefore, when she saw Hikigaya alone on the cruise ship this time, she finally plucked up the courage and took the initiative to find him.

But unfortunately, she still failed to express her request, and was instead invited by Hikigaya-san.

He must be disappointed with someone like me.

Sakura Airi sighed deeply at her own cowardice.

"What's wrong?" At this time, Hikigaya seemed to notice her helplessness and asked with a little confusion, "Are you worried about something?"

"I……"

Although I do have troubles, can I really confide these troubles to Hikigaya-san?

When Sakura Airi thought about telling Hikigaya about her love troubles, she felt her head start to heat up.

I'm going crazy.

"I...I just don't know how to communicate properly with my classmates!" Sakura Airi said something against her will.

She actually didn't want to communicate with anyone else, she just wanted to communicate with Hikigaya.

After she finished speaking, she said with a look of regret: "S-sorry, I told you such a boring thing without your permission..."

"It's okay." Hikigaya responded calmly, "In fact, I've been troubled by similar things before, and I haven't found the right way yet."

On the road of loneliness, Hikigaya is not the courage to win, but a coward who escapes from reality.

Although he was proud of being a lone ranger, he also knew that this was just giving up out of helplessness.

So when he heard what Sakura Airi said, he couldn't help but resonate with it.

"Hi, Hikigaya-san, have you ever been troubled?" When Sakura Airi heard Hikigaya's words, a look of surprise appeared on her face, or perhaps she felt a sense of intimacy for some reason.

"Yeah, I'm actually a loner like you."

Hikigaya said with a self-deprecating tone.

Although he seemed to have a lot of acquaintances in the class and seemed to have nothing to do with the word "lonely", Hikigaya actually knew that none of them was his friend.

In other classes, whether it was Shiina or Sakayanagi, their relationships were also very strange, and it was impossible to directly call them friends.

So up to now, even though he has been in school for half a year, he still hasn't taken a single step towards making friends.

"..."

On the other side, when Sakura Airi saw that Hikigaya seemed a little lonely, her heart started beating inexplicably.

In her eyes, the originally unattainable Hikigaya-san inexplicably began to become more real than before.

She couldn't help but say, "In that case, Hikigaya-san, please make friends with me..."

Sakura Airi's mouth got stuck again.

It was as if the words I wanted to say were blocked by something and I didn’t have the courage to speak them out.

Hikigaya looked at the other party in confusion, with obvious suspicion on his face.

Because according to what Sakura said, could it be that the other party was planning to...

——『This is a notice, this is a notice, all first-year students, if you have time, please gather on the deck. We are about to see the island, and I believe you will see a very meaningful view in a short period of time.』

Before Hikigaya's conjecture and Sakura Airi's words were finished, the strange broadcast voice on the cruise ship suddenly resounded throughout the scene.

This sudden development interrupts Hikigaya and Sakura's alone time.

The two were slightly stunned, then instinctively walked towards the deck following the instructions on the broadcast.

At this time, a crowd of people gathered on the deck. Class D, led by Yosuke Hirata, came here first and stared at the coast and islands in the distance.

A few minutes later, the island emerged and a huge turtle-like object appeared on the horizon.

The students at the scene immediately cheered.

Although Hikigaya was not as excited, he also observed the island carefully.

After all, the broadcast just now clearly stated that "you will see very meaningful scenery in a short period of time." It can no longer be said to be a hint, it is a clear statement.

Looking carefully now, Hikigaya found that the island looked very strange, with many traces of artificial processing, even too many.

Caves and wooden houses can be seen from time to time, as well as some clear forest roads... wow, it can be said that the answers to the exam have been posted in advance.

Just as Hikigaya was using his extraordinary memory to record the environment of the entire island, a group of arrogant male students came from a distance and directly pushed away Class D, which had occupied the best position so far.

"What are you doing!?"

Seeing this, the hot-tempered Sudo Ken stood up on the spot.

But the other party said very coldly: "Humph, defective products from Class D, this is not a place for trash like you to come."

"What did you say!?"

Sudo could not stand such humiliation.

But due to the previous conflict with Class C, he at least maintained his bottom line and did not do something stupid like hitting others out of anger, which would result in him losing points.

The leader of Class A, Katsuragi Kohei, also took the initiative to speak up: "Yahiko, don't provoke others with boring reasons."

"Katsuragi..."

"Although this is a vacation, you may still lose points because of your attitude towards life. You need to be aware of yourself as a student in Class A."

"..."

Hearing Katsuragi's words, the man called Yahiko stopped mocking Class D.

But he still seemed dissatisfied and angry with the people in Class D.

This attitude confused Hikigaya. He didn't understand why this guy named Yahiko from Class A had such a bad temper. Could it be that he had his period?

But then, a possibility flashed through his mind.

Could it be that the people in Class A are not targeting Class D, but themselves?

Because of me, Katsuragi was not elected to the student council...

No way?

All of a sudden, as if to prove that Hikigaya's guess was correct, Yahiko in the distance suddenly became extremely cold the moment he saw him, and walked straight towards him!

Chapter 229: Angry Shiina-san is so scary!

This is really...

Seeing Yahiko walking towards him, Hikigaya guessed his intention almost instantly.

But even though he guessed it, he really didn't have any good solution.

After all, he is now at the edge of the deck, and with the only road blocked by Yahiko, it seems the only solution is to jump into the sea.

That's too cold, let's just forget it.

"Hey, I'm talking about you!"

Just when Hikigaya had almost given up struggling and was fully prepared mentally, the Class A student called Yahiko had already arrived in front of him.

"anything?"

Although Hikigaya has been exercising recently and is no longer as thin, Yahiko is still about half a head taller than him and looks quite strong.

The other person stared at him intently and sneered, "You must be the one from Class D, right? Bi, Bi Penguin?"

"..."

Ok?

Could it be that this has become my recognized nickname?

Since Hikigaya is often mocked by Yamauchi and his friends with this nickname, he has become very accustomed to this kind of teasing and is not even bothered by it at all.

Is this all the students in Class A are? Can we come up with something more innovative?

Otherwise I will treat you as another Yamauchi.

Yamanouchi Yahiko-san...

It seemed that he found this joke quite funny, and Hikigaya couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing him suddenly laugh, Yahiko immediately threatened him in dissatisfaction: "What are you laughing at?! Is there anything about me that you find funny?!"

"No, no, sorry, it's my own problem."

Hikigaya shook his head and tried his best to remain calm, but the impression he had just left on the other party was so bad that Yahiko's face turned pale.

I always feel that this dead-eyed guy in front of me is mocking me with every word.

For this reason, he couldn't help but walked forward and pushed Hikigaya's shoulder hard as if to make an example of him.

"boom!"

Hikigaya was knocked against the railing and seemed to be knocked down, but in fact, due to the long-term training forced by the student council president, his lower body was already very strong.

He just pretended to grab the handrail of the deck to avoid falling in order to avoid attracting attention.

"Hikigaya-san?!"

However, Sakura Airi, who was standing next to him, was unaware of Hikigaya's little trick. Seeing this, she hurriedly ran over and reached out to help Hikigaya up.

When the students in Class A saw this scene, they all showed no emotion and smiled contemptuously.

If under normal circumstances, if someone like Hikigaya was bullied like this, most likely no one would care, let alone cause a stir.

Unfortunately, due to the large number of people on the deck today, Yahiko pushing Hikigaya was seen by a large number of students.

Although Hikigaya himself doesn't have much presence on weekdays, Yahiko, this flirtatious guy who is constantly causing trouble, can't help but attract attention.

Faced with this situation, although most of the students in Class D did not take any action and would not stand up for Hikigaya, there were still some people in Class D who could not bear to see this happen.

"What are you doing!?"

The first one to run over was Sudo Ken.

After the last incident, he was very grateful to Hikigaya and unknowingly recognized him very much, even more than his bad friend Yamauchi Kazuike.

Especially when he later learned from Horikita Suzune that Hikigaya also contributed to the success of the midterm exam in satisfying the homeroom teacher.

For this reason, although Sudo had made up his mind to restrain himself as much as possible and said nothing even when being ridiculed by Class A, when he saw Hikigaya being bullied by the students of Class A, he rushed out at the first moment.

"Humph, you useless people from Class D, why are you so arrogant!" Yahiko was a little surprised when he saw this, but he was not panicked at all. "I am Yahiko Totsuka from Class A. You also understand the composition of this school, right? This is a school of meritocracy. Class D does not have any human rights."

"you……"

In response to Totsuka Yahiko's ridicule, Sudo Ken showed an angry expression.

But he had experienced growth and knew very well that violence could not solve any problems in this school, so even if he was dissatisfied, he did not get angry and fight.
