Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"Ah, the Student Union office has already started remodeling so quickly. I just mentioned it to the school... The president is still so rigid."

"Nan, Nanyun-san? The president probably didn't ask you to come over, did he?"

Seeing the blond male student appearing in front of her, Tachibana Akane's expression inexplicably became very panicked.

Hikigaya also realized from the other party's address that the blond man in front of him was the dangerous person that Horikita Gakusho had always been wary of, the leader of Class 2-A, Minami Miyabi.

At the moment, Nan Yun didn't seem to notice his presence, and just spoke to Senior Sister Tachibana Akane: "President Horikita didn't let me come, but the more he does this, the more curious it will be, right? That rigid guy is deliberately hiding something, right?"

"This……"

Tachibana Akane was at a loss for words for a moment and was unable to respond to Nan Yun's remarks.

Hikigaya stood quietly by the side, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible so as not to attract any trouble.

However, it is not known whether his presence was erased suddenly or Nan Yunya had been keeping an eye on him for a long time.

The other person came closer with a smile on his face and said, "This junior is a little unfamiliar. I guess he is the Hikigaya junior who is the only first-year student to join the student council?"

"I didn't expect that Nanyun-senpai actually knew me. I'm really honored."

Hikigaya tried his best to act normal enough, showing both awe and awe for the senior whom he met for the first time, while also showing just the right amount of flattery.

Such a normal and cowardly reaction, even Nan Yunya couldn't tell his true colors for a moment, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

Chapter 403: Kushida: He likes reading so much, why don’t I try reading more books too!

"Nanyun-san is here to see the president, right? He's in the office."

Secretary Tachibana Akane seemed to have noticed Nanyun's strange attitude towards Hikigaya and immediately spoke up to try to distract Nanyun's attention.

It is obvious that although Secretary Tachibana usually looks silly, he is able to become the right-hand man of President Horikita, which shows that he is quite vigilant about the struggles within the student union.

Her instinct told her that she couldn't let Hikigaya and Nanyun Masa be alone together, so she would rather take the initiative to provoke the other party and launch an attack, hoping to divert Nanyun's attention away.

"Senior, you really care about this Hikigaya-san."

However, Secretary Tachibana Akane's actions were in a sense tantamount to an attempt to cover up one's mistake, and her behavior actually made Nagumo confirm that Hikigaya was something special.

Senior Tachibana Akane seemed to realize this, but she was not panicked at all. She said calmly and composedly, "After all, Nanyun-san, your reputation in the second year is not very good. The president often told me that he hopes you can be more restrained and not lead the younger generation astray."

"Eh? Did the president say that?"

Senior Tachibana Akane's words effectively diverted Nan Yun Mi's attention.

Although the other party was suspicious of Hikigaya's identity, they were unable to tell the truth from Hikigaya, whose presence had been completely weakened and who had entered a state of acting, so they did not pay too much attention to the latter.

At this moment, Secretary Tachibana brought up the topic of Horikita Manabu and successfully diverted the other party's attention.

Witnessing all this, Hikigaya had to admit that none of the people who could enter the student council of this school were simple.

Even though senior Akane Tachibana may not seem like anything special, she is only overshadowed by senior Horikita, and is actually a person with outstanding abilities.

"The student union exists to lead this school in a better direction. This is the president's idea. Nanyun, you are willing to join the student union. You should have a similar will."

"Haha, of course I'm also trying to make this school better... but I'm just using my own standards."

In response to Tachibana Akane-senpai's words, Nanyun Miyabi sneered and spoke.

After being diverted in this way, the vice president of the student council finally stopped paying attention to Hikigaya's existence and walked into the student council office with a smile.

"call……"

Seeing Nan Yunya leave, Tachibana Akane breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart.

She was obviously not used to talking to someone like Nan Yun, and she was under tremendous pressure every minute.

But in order to protect Hikigaya, the junior whom the president values, she stepped forward regardless of everything and did something she was not good at.

This made Hikigaya couldn't help but express his gratitude from the bottom of his heart:

"Thank you, Tachibana-senpai."

"It's okay. This is what I should do." A peaceful smile appeared on Tachibana Akane's face. She calmed down first, then said with a complicated look, "Nanyun classmate has obviously noticed you. No matter how meticulous the president's arrangements are, there will be loopholes. You should go back today."

"Isn't the president capable of dealing with this Vice President Nan Yun?"

"Unlike the president who always does things in an upright manner, Nanyun's style of doing things is a bit too unique... In simple terms, he will do anything to get what he wants. Although the president has never lost to anyone in a head-on confrontation, Nanyun's approach often restricts him."

Senior Tachibana Akane said in a complicated tone, "And most importantly, the president is a third year student, and Nanyun is a second year student. There is a grade difference between the two of them, which means that the president often cannot directly target Nanyun and can only let his influence spread out little by little."

"Hikigaya, do you know? Nagumo-san not only controls the entire second-year students of the school, but even the third-year students of the school, except for Class A, have completely obeyed Nagumo's orders."

"So exaggerated?"

Hikigaya originally thought that it was an incredible achievement for Nagumo to be able to control the entire second grade, but he didn't expect that the other party's hand could even touch the third-year seniors.

No wonder Horikita learned to be so wary of the other party, even resorting to his own strength.

"In short, the only class in the entire school that has not been harmed by Nanyun-san is you first-years, except for the third-year Class A. Since the first-semester exam arrangement for first-years has almost no cross-grade elements, and coupled with the deliberate influence and protection of the president, the four first-year classes have not been controlled by Nanyun-san at least for now." Tachibana Akane said with a complicated look, "But if things continue to develop, no one knows whether the first-years will be affected by Nanyun-san..."

"That's it."

Senior Akane Tachibana's words not only revealed the danger and terror of Nanyun Masaru, but also revealed important clues about future exams - cross-grade exams.

Although Hikigaya only guessed that given the school's abnormal style, they would definitely hold a cross-grade joint examination in the future, he still felt complicated when he actually learned about it.

"Junior, you should go back today. After the president has dealt with Nanyun's matter, I will find a time to notify you to come and help."

"notice me?"

"Oh, yeah, I don't think I've exchanged numbers with you yet, so let's do it now, maybe it'll come in handy in the future."

With a peaceful smile, Akane Tachibana asked to exchange numbers.

Hikigaya naturally couldn't refuse this, and nodded and said, "Since it is Senior's request, I will definitely do my best to refuse."

"Hikigaya-kun is such a joker."

Senior Tachibana used her hand to hide the smile on her lips, then opened her phone to exchange numbers.

"Well, see you later, junior."

"Well, bye, senior."

……

After leaving the student union office, Hikigaya wandered silently around the campus.

Although Nanyun Masa's matter brought some unknown troubles, Hikigaya did not think that this matter would have any impact on him.

Because for a lone ranger of his level, what he worries about is never the malice of others, but rather the kindness from others.

No matter how strong the malice is, you can always find a way to solve it. If it doesn't work, just give up and the worst-case scenario is expulsion.

In contrast, kindness is more troublesome because favors owed will not disappear over time, but instead require a lot of effort to repay.

In today's student council, he is not concerned about Nanyun who may cause trouble, but Horikita Manabu and Tachibana Akane who are doing everything they can to protect him.

Although Hikigaya didn't ask them to do this, he did receive help from those two people, and he still has to repay this favor in the future...

Of course, compared to these things that have little to do with his current self, what he needs to care about most right now is the letter to his sister Komachi.

Yes, after agreeing to Horikita Manabu's conditions, the other party agreed to help him send some letters and gifts home.

This means that Hikigaya can finally get in touch with his lovely sister again after half a year.

Even though they could only communicate on letters and could not meet in person, this was already joyful enough for him.

However, this then requires consideration of what to write in the letter and what gift to give.

After returning to the dormitory, Hikigaya secluded himself for several days and nights, but he still couldn't figure out what to give to Komachi.

Under such a headache, he even felt a sense of despair that he had not felt in the six months since he started school.

Just when his brain was about to shut down, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Isn't it summer vacation now? Why would someone come to see me? Did I forget to turn off my invisibility mode?

Confused, Hikigaya stood up from the table and opened the door, only to see an unexpected figure.

"Hikigaya-kun, good afternoon."

"Kushida?"

Kushida Kikyo had short brown hair, wore a light blue uniform, and had the same extremely hypocritical smile on her face as in the past.

Faced with such an unexpected visitor, Hikigaya stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.

Since Hikigaya had almost no experience in dealing with advertising salesmen who came to his door, he had no idea how to respond if someone came to his door.

Finally, he could only pretend to be calm and said, "What's the matter?"

"Can you let me go in first?"

"This……"

Seeing that Kushida was determined not to leave unless he was allowed to come in, Hikigaya felt a little uncomfortable and could only let him in silently.

Come to think of it, this was already the second time that Kushida came to his dormitory.

Compared to the last time, the other party's behavior has become more real. Not only did he look around without any scruples, but he also sat down directly on his bed.

If the opponent wasn't Kushida, Hikigaya would have suspected that something extraordinary would unfold next.

"Your room really hasn't changed at all."

"Rooms are for living in, not for people to look at. There's no need to add anything fancy."

"That's really your style."

Kushida said this, but his eyes continued to look around without stopping.

Hey, you won’t be able to find anything special even if you keep looking!

You know, ever since his parents discovered the pornographic books hidden in his room in junior high school and read them in public, Hikigaya never put anything private in his room again!

As for Kushida, her gaze stopped at the desk and she asked in surprise: "Why do you have so many books?"

"The library is closed during the summer vacation, so I stocked up a lot in advance."

"Hey, you still have this interest? Why don't I read more books too..."

Kushida muttered something confusing, and Hikigaya said helplessly: "You're not the kind of person who likes to read, right? And what on earth are you doing here?"

In Hikigaya's eyes, it was really too weird that Kushida suddenly came to his room, not only looked around, but also said a lot of strange things for no apparent reason.

But Kushida still didn't answer. After seeing the blank piece of letter paper on the table, she asked in surprise: "Who are you writing to?"

"Well, that's right."

“Who is that person!?”

Faced with Ms. Kushida's suddenly sharp eyes, Hikigaya really couldn't hold it in anymore.

So what on earth is this guy here for?

"It's a letter to my sister."

In desperation, Hikigaya could only tell the other party what happened in the student union with some reservations.

"Hey, you need to write a letter to your sister and give her a gift."

After hearing Hikigaya's explanation, Kushida's originally sharp eyes suddenly softened, and even seemed inexplicably happy.

"Yes, but now I haven't even thought about the content of the letter, and I don't know what gift to choose."

Although Hikigaya and his sister Komachi have been together for fourteen years, to be honest, he has no idea what the other likes, let alone give gifts.

So far, every time I gave Komachi a gift, she either rejected it outright, or she accepted it on the surface but secretly rejected it.

Just don't be too sad.

In response to his reaction, a smile immediately appeared on Kushida Kikyo's face. "In that case, let me help you choose a gift."

"What?"

"Actually, I came to see you because Inogashira-san is having a birthday, and I want to pick out a suitable gift for her. Now is the perfect time, let's go shopping for gifts together."

No, no, no, how did this become just right?

What else is 'we are together'?

Who wants to join you? Hey!
