Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"It's time to go eat..."

Since no points have been issued today, Sakura Airi is naturally still at 0 points and has to go to the cafeteria to eat free food.

However, the amount of free food is limited, so you have to hurry to grab it, otherwise the remaining free food will be so difficult to swallow.

Just as Sakura Airi was preparing to take action and planning to spend another day of lonely life, she suddenly found her cell phone ringing slightly.

As a lone ranger who is even more extreme than Hikigaya (passive), Sakura Airi has almost no contacts in her phone.

She also didn't think anyone would contact her via mobile phone.

Therefore, when the cell phone rang, Sakura Airi was a little unresponsive and didn't know what the vibration meant.

It wasn't until she remembered that it seemed to be the sound of a cell phone that she instinctively took the phone out of her pocket and saw the only contact.

Hikigaya Hachiman.

"drop--"

As the prompt sounded, a man's deep voice came from inside.

"Meet in the cafeteria in the evening. I'll treat you to a meal. If there's anything, remember to tell me then."

"Ah... ah?"

"As long as you agree."

"oh oh."

Before Sakura Airi could react to what was happening, Hikigaya on the other end of the phone hung up, as if he didn't want to waste any time at all.

Faced with such overly domineering behavior, Sakura Airi did not feel any grievance. Instead, she experienced a warm feeling that she had never experienced since coming to this school.

Obviously the other party's attitude towards her was very cold, like a servant or slave that could be summoned at any time, but for Sakura who had no social interaction at school, this was already an indescribable experience.

After all, that person...Hikigaya-san, noticed me.

——He noticed.

This alone made the girl feel happy and joyful from the bottom of her heart.

Chapter 168: No girl would like me except Komachi!

After hanging up the call to Sakura Airi, Hikigaya quickly walked towards the library.

He planned to return the mystery novel with a key page missing before having dinner with Sakura Airi in the evening.

As a good student with basic morals and conscience, Hikigaya has never been able to accept himself being involved in such things that disrupt public order.

Even though the missing pages of the book had nothing to do with him and he had never done anything bad on his own initiative, Hikigaya was unwilling to keep the book with the missing pages.

I always feel that if that happens, I might even have nightmares at night.

With this mentality, Hikigaya quickly came to the school library.

After these two months, Hikigaya had already memorized the routes here, and he didn't even need to remember them to find the place to return the books.

However, to his surprise, the librarian who usually stood here seemed to be absent today. In other words, there was no one who could help him return the books.

Hikigaya couldn't help but hesitate upon seeing this, and even wanted to operate the machine himself to return the books.

At this moment, he suddenly felt someone patting his right shoulder.

"???"

Unable to comprehend this sudden change, Hikigaya's face was filled with confusion.

Who is it? Is it a ghost behind this?

No one in this school wants to talk to me, is this a ghost?

Confused and a little nervous, Hikigaya looked back to the right, and suddenly felt a finger poking his right cheek.

"Haha, Hikigaya-san has fallen into your trap."

A soft female voice sounded, and a smile appeared on the face of the girl with silver hair falling behind her.

At such a close distance, Hikigaya could not only smell the girl's unique fragrance, but he could even feel a strange temperature coming from in front of him.

Too close... too close...

When Hikigaya saw the bright smile on the silver-haired girl's face, his heart couldn't help but pound?

If I wasn't a lone ranger, I would have confessed to the other person long ago, and then been rejected at the speed of light...Huh? Will I really be rejected?

Under the intense emotional changes, Hikigaya couldn't help but take a step back, and only then was he able to breathe a sigh of relief, and when his heartbeat calmed down, he turned his attention to the girl in front of him.

Although Shiina Hiyori was still wearing her school uniform, the skin revealed outside her clothes, her arms and legs were very slender, and her skin was very white.

The whole person is like a fairy in the book, giving people a dreamy feeling.

It's a pity that she doesn't have a big chest, but Horikita Suzune isn't much better than Shiina...

Huh?

Why do I feel this way?

Who blinded my eyes?

Kushida? Sakura? Or Ichinose?

Hikigaya's mind was full of random thoughts as always, but he quickly came to his senses on the surface and said to the smiling Shiina Hiyori:

"Shiina-san, why are you here?"

"The administrator of this library is on leave today, so he asked me to help manage it..."

You asked for leave again?

Hikigaya was instinctively surprised. After all, he remembered that he had encountered a similar thing once before. Shiina Hiyori was really trusted by the library administrator.

At the same time, Shiina Hiyori looked at Hikigaya and said curiously:

"Hikigaya-san, are you here to return a book? Let me help you."

"This……"

Faced with Shiina Hiwa's seemingly enthusiastic words, Hikigaya always felt that something was wrong, and he felt inexplicably resistant.

After all, people like him can never easily accept other people's unwarranted kindness.

The more good intentions come from nowhere, the more poisonous they are to him.

Hikigaya couldn't accept this physically.

Seeing Hikigaya's somewhat hesitant attitude, Shiina Hiyori's expression became inexplicably gloomy, and even a strong sense of depression emerged out of nowhere.

Hikigaya even felt a heavy sense of oppression from this space.

What's going on? Did I do something bad?

As a lone ranger with basically no presence in the school, Hikigaya had never experienced anything like this before, so he was completely confused for a moment.

Especially when he saw Shiina Hiwa's eyes fluctuating and even slightly rippling, he realized the direness of the current situation.

"Well... uh, here you go, help me pay it back."

Worried that the girl in front of him might burst into tears, Hikigaya was so scared that he quickly handed the mystery novel to her.

Although Hikigaya still had the resistance to accepting unknown kindness, he did not dare to let Shiina Hiyori continue to feel lost at this time because of his instinct to avoid danger.

He was very confident about the extent to which people like him attracted hatred.

If he made eye contact with a girl on the street and she suddenly burst into tears, he would be the one who was mistaken for a scumbag!

By then, sending him to the police station might be a minor punishment...

"Really?"

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Shiina Hiyori, who was originally exuding a kind of oppressive aura and had gloomy eyes, suddenly raised his head.

"Well, there's no one here who can help me return the book except you."

Hikigaya spoke awkwardly. In fact, he himself didn't know what he was hesitating about just now.

Shiina Hiyori breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "That's right, I'm a little too sensitive. I'm sorry, Hikigaya-san... I'll return the book for you right away."

Ugh, you making me apologize even more uncomfortable.

Hikigaya had noticed before that Shiina Hiyori's attitude towards him was always a little unusual, or in other words, he cared too much about him.

He was just a nobody in Class D, and Hikigaya couldn't understand why the other party cared about him so much, even over-emphasized him.

If only there was a reason for this.

If there was a reason for him to accept it, Hikigaya would be able to accept it more smoothly.

However, he could not see any reason, and could not understand the real reason why Shiina Hiwa was paying attention to him. That was why he instinctively avoided it and even wanted to escape.

There's no way around it. Hikigaya himself sometimes feels that he's too weird.

But because he has suffered so much malice, he has forgotten the existence of kindness.

He even subconsciously believed that, apart from his younger sister, Komachi, there was no other girl in the world who would have a crush on him.

Because of this, Hikigaya can make a firm conclusion: the same goes for Shiina Hiyori, she can't possibly like him.

Chapter 169 If Hikigaya-san is willing, can he join Class C?

Hikigaya watched as Shiina Hiyori took his book to go through the return procedures.

The other party obviously helped here frequently, so he was very familiar with the process. He quickly found the corresponding code of the book and quickly started the process of returning the book.

However, perhaps because the other party was too serious and responsible, Shiina even opened the book and flipped through it to make sure there were no missing pages.

Hikigaya didn't care.

After all, such things generally go undetected.

For a book that thick, even if one or two pages are missing in the middle, most people would not be able to notice it, let alone find the corresponding page numbers.

The probability of this happening is almost one in ten million.

However, Hikigaya obviously forgot one thing, that is - Shiina Hiyori, who hangs out in the library all day like a library fairy, is not an ordinary person.

As an extreme bookworm, Shiina Hiyori's sensitivity to books can be said to have reached an exaggerated level that is incredible.

She only flipped through the novel once and was able to keenly detect the page problem, and accurately turned to the part where the page was missing.

"..."

Seeing this scene, Hikigaya broke out in a cold sweat.

He never expected that something like this with a one in ten million probability could actually happen. It was like seeing a ghost. It was too outrageous.

Shiina Hiwa's sensitivity to books far exceeded his imagination.

And the most important thing is that after turning to the missing page, Shiina Hiyori suddenly fell into a kind of silence, or stillness.

With such a scene in front of him, Hikigaya naturally found it difficult to control his emotions, and hurriedly tried to explain everything in front of him.

However, he had no idea how to start. After all, even if he wanted to say that the missing page was not caused by him, he had no evidence.

This is a school, not a court. Who will give you the benefit of the doubt?

So, Hikigaya sighed and chose to face reality.

At most, some personal points or class points will be deducted.

Class D has lost a lot of class points, so a few points from me won't hurt.

Just when Hikigaya was about to accept all the punishment, the Shiina Hiyori in front of him suddenly moved again. He naturally ignored the missing page and returned the book.

"Alright, Hikigaya-san."

"what?"

Looking at Shiina Hiyori in front of him as if nothing had happened, Hikigaya couldn't help but voice being a little stiff.
