Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Hikigaya suppressed the fear in his heart and took deep breaths in his heart, and gradually calmed down.

At the same time, Kushida Kikyo appeared in front of him at some point, with the same gentle smile as usual on her face.

"Are you surprised, Hikigaya-san? I was waiting for you... I have something to tell you, may I bother you for a moment?"

Kushida Kikyo said this while putting on an awkward attitude.

More than 90% of boys would instinctively think that a beautiful girl is confessing her love to them when she says such words to them.

Too bad Hikigaya is a rational monster.

He didn't think that there was any possibility that a weirdo of Kushida Kikyo's level would fall in love with him. Compared to him, the probability of Horikita Suzune suddenly confessing to him was higher.

Haha, although that is also very scary...

"What do you want from me?" Facing the look on Kushida Kikyo's face as if she wouldn't let him go until the conversation was over, Hikigaya responded with a little helplessness.

Although he really wanted to use the substitution technique or shadow clone technique to escape like the ninjas of Konoha Village, Hikigaya did not have those fancy skills and could only bite the bullet and endure Kushida Kikyo's gaze.

"Then I'll ask you frankly." Kushida Kikyo didn't seem to expect Hikigaya to have such an attitude, but she still spoke according to the original plan, "Hikigaya-san, have you ever seen Horikita-san smile?"

"laugh?"

Hikigaya instinctively recalled the several times Horikita Suzune tortured him before, with a cold smile like the Queen of Blades on her face, and he immediately began to tremble.

What was worse was that Kushida Kikyo had come closer to him at some point, leaning forward as a whole, trying to close the distance between them.

Oh no, it’s too close!

Coach, she dribbled the ball and hit someone!!!

The bad woman alarm in Hikigaya's heart was ringing desperately, and it was about to explode like boiling water, along with the lid!

"I really want to be friends with Horikita-san." Kushida Kikyo leaned almost in Hikigaya's arms, her eyes slightly raised, "But I can't do this by myself, so, can you please help me, Hikigaya-san?"

Hikigaya heard what sounded like a nightmare, the worst words in the world.

Help Kushida Kikyo and Horikita Suzune make friends?

It's just like asking the Unlicensed Knight to help make Deep Sea King and Boros become friends.

Hey, hey, hey, can you weirdos just fight yourselves and not involve a supporting role like me?

Hikigaya was extremely unhappy with Kushida Kikyo's request from the bottom of his heart. After all, Kushida Kikyo had so many problems that he couldn't even count them all.

If I get involved in the relationship between the other party and Horikita Suzune, no one knows what terrible consequences will happen.

"Horikita and I don't have any relationship, so it's useless for you to ask me for help." Hikigaya chose to make excuses to avoid trouble.

"Yes, but even so, if you can help me, Hikigaya, it will be like having thirty people to help me!"

Wow, this kid is so good at pretending!!

Hikigaya was almost beginning to admire Kushida.

Putting aside the other person's true nature, just the disguised personality alone made Hikigaya feel a light that was too dazzling.

Unfortunately, the more Kushida showed her cheerful and sunny side, the more Hikigaya feared her.

Therefore, even though it was usually difficult to refuse a girl's request, this time, Hikigaya firmly replied, "I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request."

"No way...?"

Even the super powers of 'cute + please + look up' are useless!

Hikigaya became so hard-hearted that even he was afraid of himself.

"Oh, sorry to bother you, Hikigaya-san."

Kushida Kikyo showed a lost expression on her face.

In an overly exaggerated manner, Kushida Kikyo turned and left with a sigh.

It can be said that if Hikigaya had not seen that all this was acting, he would probably have been really touched by the "frustrated girl" played by Kikyo Kushida, and would have been unable to help but step forward and choose to help her.

Unfortunately, although the role played by Kikyo Kushida is extremely realistic and almost hits every detail, she still neglects one of the most critical points.

That's the expression...

People may be able to control their limbs and every detail of their movements, but it is difficult for humans to perfectly control their expressions.

No matter how superb the acting is, if the facial expressions are not well controlled, the final result will be like wearing a clown mask. Not only can the hypocrisy behind it be seen at a glance, it may even make people feel the horror similar to the "uncanny valley effect", as if seeing a faceless alien life forcibly imitating human behavior.

Or maybe this isn't Ayanokouji...

Hikigaya sighed again, the number and quality of the monsters in Class D are comparable to that of a Gotham City.

I'm afraid even if not for Teacher Saitama and Batman, they may not be able to deal with these monsters.

"..."

With a sigh, Hikigaya left the class and walked slowly towards the student council bulletin board.

Chapter 37: List of Student Union Announced

So far, the high school has been in session for a week, and most of the freshmen have adapted to the pace of school. Some classes are performing normally, showing the potential of top students, while some classes are performing poorly, violating school rules hundreds of times in just one week.

Class D, where Hikigaya was, was undoubtedly the one with the most abnormal behavior. It could be said that it was a class with an obvious sense of inferiority, which made him unable to help but have complicated emotions.

Of course, compared to all these, what he is more concerned about now is another matter, which is a major event related to his future campus life - the announcement of the student union list.

Today, the Student Union will announce the new class list, and there is a high probability that there will be a freshman from the first year.

All the students who were concerned about this matter rushed to the bulletin board as soon as school was over, waiting for the moment when the notice would be released.

Among them, the majority are students from classes A and B, and there are only a few in class C, but it still exists.

Only Class D. When Hikigaya arrived, there was not a single person from Class D in the entire venue, which made him sigh again, "The gap between people is indeed even bigger than the gap between humans and pigs."

At the same time, he unexpectedly discovered that the atmosphere on the scene was even more tense than he had imagined.

The students in Class A were generally in high spirits, as if they had achieved some great victory and felt that everything was a foregone conclusion.

The students in Class B were much weaker in momentum from the beginning. They did not have the courage to confront the students in Class A and could only stand aside in a group.

Class C was too small to participate in the cold war between the two superpowers, so they just sat on the sidelines and watched everything coldly.

Hikigaya was naturally one of those who were watching coldly. With almost no sense of existence, he listened silently to the conversations of the people around him.

"The person selected this time will most likely be Katsuragi Kōhei."

"Yes, it seems that Ichinose from Class B fell ill during the interview and was unable to attend."

"Haha, this can be considered fate. Although Ichinose's ability is comparable to Katsuragi's, as long as she doesn't participate, Katsuragi will most likely be the final winner."

"..."

Students from each class discussed with each other, and the final conclusion was generally that "Kouhei Katsuragi from Class A will be selected as a member of the student council."

If it were a normal situation, I'm afraid Hikigaya himself would think so, but the situation this time is somewhat special, and the final result may exceed everyone's expectations.

While Hikigaya was thinking, he found that a familiar figure had also arrived at the scene.

Ichinose Honami, although she missed the last interview, she still chose to face everything on the day when the student union announced the selection results this time.

When she saw Hikigaya, Ichinose's expression changed slightly. She seemed to want to say something, but was blocked by the students of Class B and couldn't get closer.

Hikigaya was also happy to see such a development, which would allow him to minimize his presence.

Instead, it was Katsuragi Kōhei who took the initiative to walk towards Ichinose Honami.

The tall bald man looked at the latter slowly with a slightly serious expression and said, "It's a pity that we couldn't compete fairly. If possible, I still hope to have a wonderful contest."

"No, there's no need for that..." Ichinose didn't accept Katsuragi Kōhei's consolation. She seemed to have completely learned her lesson from the last failure. She said calmly, "Even if I can't join the student council, I will help other people in the class in my own way in the future."

"Ah."

Katsuragi Kōhei nodded. He didn't say much. He just turned around silently and returned to Class A's camp.

There was a moment of silent silence.

Student Union Secretary Ju Qian slowly walked from the corridor entrance. She glanced at the crowd gathered in front of the bulletin board with surprise and said, "Everyone, please make way. I need to post the latest notice."

"..."

In response to the Student Union Secretary's words, students from each class controlled their emotions and made way in an orderly manner.

This scene made Hikigaya feel an obvious gap. After all, if the people from Class D were here, it would probably be as chaotic as a vegetable market.

Under everyone's attention, Student Union Secretary Ju Qian posted new notices on the bulletin board one by one, which naturally included the latest Student Union list.

Hikigaya glanced at him with slight concern.

Student Council President - Horikita Manabu

Student Council Vice Presidents: Nanyun Masa, Kiriyama Ikuha

Student Union Secretary - Ju Qian

……

At first glance, they are all famous figures.

And to the end of the list.

As expected, a name appeared that should not have appeared.

General Affairs - Hikigaya Hachiman.

All of a sudden, the entire bulletin board fell into extreme chaos. Class A was undoubtedly the one who could not accept all this the most. They immediately found Secretary Akane Tachibana and questioned the fairness of the interview.

Although the students in Class B were equally confused, they were actually relieved by the result.

Because if someone from Class A becomes a member of the student union, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Class B.

Although there is no obvious class confrontation between the classes now, a lot of conflicts have accumulated between Class A and Class B during the student union interview process alone.

There will inevitably be a lot of fighting between the two sides.

Therefore, the thing that Class B could not accept the most was Katsuragi Kōhei being selected for the student council. On the contrary, it was acceptable for a guy like Hikigaya who had never been heard of to join the student council.

When all this happened, Hikigaya himself showed a desperate expression, realizing that Horikita Manabu had not let him go after all.

From today on, I have to be a social animal serving the bureaucracy...

This is really too tragic.

After Hikigaya confirmed that the student council's list was not false, he took the initiative to leave the scene in order to avoid trouble.

No matter how other classes discuss him, it has nothing to do with him.

The only thing I need to worry about is Class D. If those guys in the class knew that I had joined the student union, I would probably get into a lot of trouble.

Especially Horikita Suzune and Karuizawa Megumi, if these two knew that he joined the student council, who knows how they would behave...

So, in order to escape the crisis, Hikigaya did not go back to the dormitory directly, but went to the library instead.

Well, I’ve almost finished reading all the books I brought before school started, so it’s time to buy some stock.

Hikigaya took a step forward while thinking.

And at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of disobedience, as if someone was following him...

"??"

I turned my head and although I didn't see anything, the feeling of being watched became stronger.

Hello, hey, hey, this is a youth campus movie, not a spy movie, right?

Why are there spies monitoring me?

How outrageous!

Chapter 38: The Beautiful Girl in the Library

Hikigaya sighed helplessly as the watchful eyes from the dark lingered.

It seems that some special means are needed...
