Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Of course, he didn't think too much about it, thinking that a beautiful girl with a normal personality like Ichinose would not make any strange requests to him.

In fact, even if there were any requirements, he felt that he would most likely not be able to do it.

After hesitating for a while, Ichinose finally made up his mind and said through clenched teeth: "Hikigaya-san, have you ever been confessed to by a girl?"

"No."

Hikigaya answered quickly with his monstrous brain. After all, in his 16 years of life, he had only talked to a few women of his own age, not to mention something as sci-fi as being confessed to.

But after he finished answering, he realized how strange Ichinose's question was.

Why would the other person ask him if he has ever been confessed to by a girl?

It can't be like in TV dramas, where a girl with amorous feelings is too embarrassed to express her love to a guy she likes, so she asks questions in a roundabout way to make sure that the other person is still single.

And Hikigaya didn't think that Ichinose would have such feelings for him... That kind of thing couldn't possibly happen, right?

But what if it happens?

Oh, I feel like I’m almost thinking of a name for my child…

Chapter 166: I promise that Hikigaya, someone will confess to you in the future!

Although Hikigaya always thinks that he is more sober than anyone else, it does not mean that he does not have the characteristics of a high school boy.

High school boys should have inferiority complex, arrogance, immaturity, the belief that they can change the world, and the tendency to fantasize about spending the rest of their lives with a pretty girl when they see one... In fact, he possesses all these characteristics, and you can even say that he is that kind of person.

Hikigaya himself has never experienced any of the unusual things that the modern people experience in high school, or has never thought about experiencing them.

I'm just a disgusting virgin anyway.

However, because he understands himself, Hikigaya is always able to break out of his current thinking and look at the current situation from a more rational and sober perspective.

For example, Ichinose Honami, as a beautiful girl and leader of Class B, it is impossible for the other party to have any admiration for a nobody like herself in Class D.

Therefore, the reason why the other party asked that question could not be because he had a good impression of me and was testing me...

And since it was not a test, when Ichinose asked himself "Have you ever been confessed to?", this might not be a real question, but a way of looking for psychological identification, or seeking help like looking for like-minded partners.

That is to say...

"Ichinose, has someone confessed to you?"

"No, no, just pretend I didn't ask... Eh?! How did you know that, Hikigaya-san?"

After saying those words, Ichinose realized how misleading her words were, so when she realized what she was saying, the first thing she wanted to do was to make Hikigaya forget what she had just said.

However, she didn't expect that Hikigaya would guess her real problem immediately. The expression on the girl's face became very strange for a moment, as if she was halfway through the foreplay and had forgotten how to start the main show.

Hikigaya said calmly, "Well, you asked the wrong person. I don't look like someone has confessed to me... So the only possibility is that someone has confessed to you, so you want to ask me for advice."

That being said.

Ichinose actually came to me for advice instead of consulting the people in Class B. I really don't know what the other party was thinking.

After all, a virgin like me can't offer any useful suggestions...

Eh? Could it be that the other party came to me, a virgin, for advice on purpose? Did he want to humiliate me on purpose?

I’m about to cry!

And if we talk about the ratio, most high school boys would never have the experience of being confessed to, right? Although this statement has no basis.

But Hikigaya is very clear that behind the prosperous life of human society, there are countless people who die alone.

Many people even remain virgins until they die!

While Hikigaya was analyzing the situation in his mind, Ichinose said helplessly, "I, that's not what I meant. Hikigaya-san, someone will confess to you in the future. Yes, I promise!"

"Uh... ah?"

No, what can you promise?

It's as if if you promise, someone will confess to me. This kind of thing is impossible.

Hikigaya denied himself as always in his heart, but on the surface he changed the subject:

"Forget it. Anyway, you want to discuss with me the matter of being confessed to. Let me make it clear in advance that I have no experience in this area and cannot give you any useful advice."

"I see. It's okay. As long as I can discuss this with Hikigaya-san, I'll feel relieved instinctively."

Ichinose smiled and said, "Well, do you have time later? I know your class, Hikigaya, has been a bit busy lately, so if possible, please find a better time to talk to me later."

"Well, let's call."

"Ok."

Ichinose said this and left in high spirits.

Hikigaya looked at the other person's back, who seemed relieved from a great burden, and wondered why he was so relieved.

Does the other party really think that he can give any useful advice?

Instead of expecting that kind of thing, it’s better to try to make up a cliché lie to get by, like finding a handsome guy to pretend to be your boyfriend or something.

Anyway, that kind of thing has nothing to do with a dead fish eye like me who has no sense of existence.

"By the way, Ichinose just said that our class is a bit busy recently? How come I don't know what our class is busy with?"

Hikigaya muttered to himself, unable to figure out the meaning of Ichinose's words.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was just Ichinose's polite words, similar to "Have you eaten?", just a meaningless greeting.

……

Hikigaya returned to the classroom after lunch and returned the lunch box to Horikita Suzune.

The latter didn't say anything extra, just put the box away and put it in his schoolbag.

The afternoon classes passed quickly and it was time to go home.

Judging from Horikita Suzune's expression, it was obvious that she wanted to go back to the dormitory immediately, and there were many people who made the same choice as her.

Hikigaya would have certainly taken similar actions before, and he had even gone back to the dormitory with Horikita Suzune many times.

But today...

Looking at the mystery novel in his hand that was missing a key page, Hikigaya sighed.

It is best not to keep such a bad book in your hands for too long. It is better to return it to the library as soon as possible.

After all, although Hikigaya was confident enough to think that the missing pages here had nothing to do with him, the school rules would not be so kind to him.

Because there is no evidence to prove that he was not the one who did it.

Just as Hikigaya slowly stood up and prepared to leave the classroom, the figure of the homeroom teacher, Chabashi Sae, suddenly walked in from outside the classroom.

"Sudo, I have something to tell you. Please come to the teacher's office."

Hearing what the homeroom teacher said, Sudo was stunned. "What? Why me? I have basketball club practice next."

Chabashira Sae's attitude did not change at all in response to Sudou's dissatisfaction, and he threatened in a cold voice:

"I've already told the consultant that it's your freedom to come or not, but if anything goes wrong later, I won't be responsible for you."

"This……"

Hearing this, Sudou, who had a tough attitude, also became a little nervous.

"What's going on... Will it be over soon?" He finally stood up with a helpless look on his face and followed Chabashi Sae.

“It all depends on your attitude.”

Seeing what was happening before their eyes, the other students in Class D were stunned, and then they couldn't help but start discussing.

Chapter 167 Sakura Airi: Hikigaya-kun has noticed me!

The fact that Sudo was called away by the homeroom teacher caused a reaction among the classmates. Apparently, no one in the class expected such a sudden twist to happen at the end of school.

For a moment, many students had all kinds of ideas and even made their own speculations.

"Is that Sudo guy going to get into trouble again?"

"After the midterm exam, Sudou may have changed at first glance, but in reality, he hasn't changed at all."

"It would have been better to have him drop out of school before, wasn't it?"

For a while, all kinds of complaints were heard in the class. No one wanted Sudo to do anything bad again, which would even bring trouble to the entire class.

It is obvious that although Class D seemed very united during the midterm exam, various small groups still formed among the students.

Unity and solidarity are still just an illusion in this class.

"Everyone in the class seems to want Sudo to drop out..."

Hikigaya watched all this and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

At this time, Horikita Suzune was packing her textbooks and preparing to return to the dormitory. As a serious and good student, she would probably still prepare and review all night long after returning home every night.

I'm really curious why the other party hasn't put on glasses yet, even though Horikita-nii has already put on glasses a long time ago...

Could it be that Horikita was actually wearing contact lenses secretly?

While Hikigaya's mind was jumping around with various ideas, Horikita Suzune stopped packing her schoolbag and looked at Hikigaya with a cold expression, "What do you think? Do you think Sudo should drop out of school?"

Last time, it was Hikigaya's unilateral persuasion that made Horikita Suzune agree to help Sudo and prevent him from dropping out of school.

Otherwise, Horikita would have given up on Sudo and the failing group and let them leave the school.

"I still hold the same opinion as before." Hikigaya responded silently, "For you, me, and this class, keeping him is far better than letting him drop out, that's all."

"Oh, that's your style."

Horikita glanced at the classmates who were talking about it, and quickly lost interest.

She started packing her schoolbag again, muttering to herself, "I hope that one day he can really provide the value that I and this class deserve."

Horikita quickly left the classroom on her own.

Hikigaya would have left with the other person, but today he needed to go to the library to return a book, so he deliberately staggered his time and did not leave the classroom with the other person.

Just as he was about to leave the classroom, he suddenly noticed a girl with a very low presence sitting in the corner of the classroom. Sakura Airi looked up at him.

This was a very rare thing, as Sakura rarely took the initiative to communicate with him in general, especially when they were in the classroom.

Often, most of the time, when he looked over, the other person would panic like a hamster, lowering his head anxiously.

This time, the other party's initiative to look up was an extremely rare and special development in Hikigaya's eyes. It was like an NPC in the game who only said fixed lines to you suddenly said something else.

However, Sakura Airi's courage value is just like her aura, almost zero.

After a brief eye contact, the girl lowered her head again because of extreme panic and fear.

Is there anything you want to say to me?

Seeing Sakura Airi's appearance, Hikigaya quickly realized something. He has always been very sensitive in this regard and would not miss any key information.

However, he would not take the initiative to start a conversation with Sakura Airi in the classroom. After all, that would be too conspicuous and not his style.

So he pretended not to notice and left the classroom.

When Sakura Airi saw his departing back, there was obvious disappointment in the corners of her eyes, as if she had thrown away the life-saving straw she had finally grasped.

But she was not too lost. The girl had become accustomed to being abandoned by others and not being valued. In the end, she could only hide in her own world alone.

Besides, she has another world to hide in...

But how to say it.

Thinking back to the meeting with Hikigaya in the library that night, Sakura Airi inexplicably felt more disappointed than before, and even felt a dull pain in her heart.

This caught her off guard.

Sakura Airi couldn't understand her own emotions.

In fact, it is natural for her to have such negative thoughts.

After all, people who are blind later in life always find it more difficult to accept the reality of losing their eyes than those who are blind from birth because they have once witnessed light.

After experiencing the simple, pure and easy interaction with Hikigaya, just like that of friends, Sakura Airi can no longer easily accept the reality that she is alone. She doesn't even know how to get through this lonely and long school life as she did in the past.
