Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

He never expected that Shiina Hiyori would completely ignore the problem of missing pages in the book he returned, and didn't even show the slightest attitude.

Although under normal circumstances, this could be skipped directly and pretended that nothing had happened, Hikigaya's personality made it impossible for him to accept such a confusing thing.

So he said decisively: "Shiina-san, you should have seen it just now..."

“I didn’t see it.”

Shiina Hiwa responded calmly, without even the slightest hesitation, "Let's find a place to rest and read a book."

"This is...good."

Although he was still conflicted about what had just happened, Hikigaya did not reject Shiina Hiyori's invitation.

Because he felt that this would be a good opportunity to find out the true thoughts of this dreamy girl who was like an elf in the book.

The two found a place to sit down.

But why sit side by side?

Is it a bit too close?

"Hikigaya-san, I actually have something to tell you..."

Shiina Hiyori's tone was quite serious.

I see. If we want to discuss secrets, we have to get closer. That's why she got so close to me.

Hikigaya found a reason to convince himself.

"whats the matter?"

"Well, it's about our Class C and your Class D. Class C's strategy has changed recently, which may affect other classes. Someone in your Class D may also be affected by our class."

"I see."

Based on what he had felt before, Hikigaya had roughly guessed the recent changes in Class C. Even if Shiina Hiyori didn't say it, he roughly knew what would happen.

If Class C really intends to take the same approach as before and attack other classes, even though Class D is already at the bottom, it may still be affected.

No, or rather, it has been affected.

After all, the number of idiots in Class D is not to say that there are many, but at least they are countless.

Among so many brainless people, it is almost inevitable that someone will be instigated and provoked by members of Class C and accidentally violate school rules.

There is no way. This school has been ranking students according to their qualifications from the very beginning, which makes it impossible for students with lower rankings to surpass those with higher rankings.

Even if you gain a short-term lead through some strategy, you will lose sooner or later as long as you continue to fight fairly.

The more they lose, the more their character will be worn down, thus forming a vicious cycle that continues until they completely fall to the bottom of the school.

Hikigaya silently predicted the future of Class D in his heart.

He felt that there was a high probability that all this would happen if there was no external interference.

Of course, he himself would definitely not take the initiative to interfere too much, because he just wanted to achieve his goals as much as possible based on his own wishes.

He has no obsession at all with making Class D become Class A.

While Hikigaya was lost in thought, Shiina Hiyori suddenly fell into a difficult situation. She hugged her knees, huddled up, and looked at him for help from time to time.

"What, what's wrong?"

Hikigaya quickly determined Shiina Hiyori's problem and asked the question with a confused look on his face.

After a brief silence, Shiina finally made up his mind and slowly said, "I wonder...if Hikigaya-san is willing, can he join Class C?"

"Uh...what?"

Why did it become like this?

Hikigaya never expected that such words would come out of Shiina Hiyori's mouth.

Now that Class A and Class B have extended olive branches to me, Class C is also planning to invite me to join? Isn't that a bit too outrageous? !

A nobody like me in Class D can't stand the pressure from you great masters!!

For a moment, Hikigaya inexplicably felt as if there was a fight among gods and he, an ordinary person, had suddenly barged in and was being watched by all the gods.

It's really a bit too outrageous...

No. Did all this really happen?

Chapter 170: Hikigaya-san, no matter what happens, you will not abandon me?

"..."

Hikigaya was a little confused when faced with Shiina Hiyori's invitation to join Class C.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind at once, and he had no idea how he should respond.

Or, should I respond?

On the other side, Shiina Hiyori saw Hikigaya's reaction and realized how sudden her request was, so she quickly spoke:

"Well... I just simply think that it would be a good thing for Hikigaya to come to Class C. If it continues like this, the gap between Class C and Class D will widen further, and many of Class D's problems will not be solved. Also... although the current leader of Class C, Ryuen Sho, is a very domineering person, he will still respect my opinion."

"If Hikigaya is willing to come to Class C, I can help you a lot... Ah, well, I, I don't mean anything weird! I, I just hope that Hikigaya won't get hurt, and I hope to be able to help Hikigaya-san."

"..."

Although he spoke very quickly and his logic was confusing, Hikigaya still managed to understand what Shiina Hiyori meant.

Simply put, the other party is doing good for themselves, thinking that if they go to Class C, they can get a better environment than the current one and they won't be attacked by Class C anymore.

how to say.

He could understand what Shiina meant, but to be honest, he couldn't accept the other party's request.

after all.

Firstly, he couldn't figure out where Shiina Hiyori's kindness came from. He always felt that the other party had always had a very good impression of him, but Hikigaya didn't think he had any qualifications to gain other people's favor.

Secondly, Hikigaya doesn't think that he can live a better life than he is now if he goes to Class C.

You know, he could reject the invitations from Class A and Class B without hesitation, and Class C and the like had no appeal to him at all.

However, he couldn't just reject Shiina outright.

After all, he had seen the other party's strange behavior before, and Hikigaya was very worried that if he rejected the other party, the child would be so sad that he would cry on the spot.

So after thinking about it, Hikigaya found an excuse and said, "People like me usually don't conflict with others. Even if your C class is going to attack our D class, it is unlikely that you will come to me. And I don't care about the points of the class. I don't have any need for that kind of thing."

"……Really?"

"Yeah, so just take care of yourself."

Shiina Hiyori's temperament inexplicably gives people a sense of pity, so much so that the tone of Hikigaya's voice began to become as gentle as when he was taking care of Komachi.

However, his sister is a tsundere and would not normally accept his kindness, so when Hikigaya faced the frank Shiina, he inexplicably felt a very fresh feeling.

However, no matter how lovable Shiina was, he could not accept the other party's request.

After all, Hikigaya is very self-aware. He doesn't think he can work hard for a group like a normal person, and it is even more impossible for him to devote his energy and time to fight for a group.

Therefore, even if Class C is really willing to accept him and Shiina Hiyori is able to integrate himself into that class, Hikigaya will not be able to provide much help for Class C's promotion and may even hinder it.

He didn't want to have a conflict with the leader of Class C. Just thinking about that kind of thing was troublesome.

"...That's it."

Shiina Hiyori seemed really disappointed, but her attitude clearly showed that she had expected this, so she quickly chose to accept it all.

"However, although I won't be going to Class C, I will still chat with you, Shiina. That's certain." Hikigaya didn't want to make Shiina too sad, so he offered comfort.

Although I guess it wouldn't be very fun to chat with someone like me.

"Really? Thank you!"

Hearing Hikigaya's words, an excited smile suddenly appeared on Shiina Hiyori's face, "Hikigaya-san, no matter what happens, you will not abandon me?"

"Uh, this..."

Wow, aren’t these kid’s lines a bit too heavy?

Hikigaya felt a little sick to his stomach just by hearing that.

However, facing Shiina Hiyori's extremely expectant look, Hikigaya couldn't bear to reject her directly even if she was lying, so he nodded.

The next second, Hikigaya saw the most beautiful smile he had ever seen in his life.

……

Leaving the library, Hikigaya's mind was still filled with the image of Shiina Hiyori.

how to say.

Just as the initial impression, the other party was really a girl who was like a fairy in the book, like a dream bubble and not real at all.

Many times, Hikigaya couldn't help but mistakenly think that the other person was a person he had imagined and an unreal existence.

However, both his own memories and the traces left in the library clearly show that Shiina Hiyori is a real person.

At the same time, the other party had an almost incomprehensible affection for him, which made Hikigaya instinctively unable to accept it and difficult to feel at ease.

Before night fell, Hikigaya walked along the road to the cafeteria. He and Sakura Airi had made an appointment to have dinner here, and Hikigaya also planned to treat her to a meal.

Of course, Hikigaya was not completely sure whether Sakura Airi would come to the appointment.

After all, according to his observation, Sakura was obviously a very timid girl, and even more introverted than himself.

Even if such a person gives up coming to the appointment because of fear, it is also a very likely development.

Hikigaya would not blame the other party for anything.

Entering the cafeteria, Hikigaya silently glanced around the somewhat busy hall.

It is lunch time now, and most students take this opportunity to come here to eat. The bustling crowd instantly fills the entire space.

In such an environment, it is very difficult, or at least not easy, to find the existence that you want to find.

However, for the target this time - Sakura Airi, it is very easy to find her in the crowd.

In other words, precisely because it is in such an extremely lively environment, it is actually a very easy thing to find a lone ranger like you.

Because Hikigaya just needs to put himself in their shoes.

If I were to wait for someone in such a busy place like the cafeteria, what kind of seat would I choose...

In the blink of an eye, Hikigaya glanced around and found Sakura Airi curled up in her seat like a little animal in an empty space in the corner of the cafeteria.

He first took the initiative to walk over, and found two free dinners placed in front of Sakura, which looked a little warm.

Seeing this, Hikigaya was stunned at first, then he immediately reacted and asked, "Are you going to have dinner with other people?"

Chapter 171 I Don’t Want to Become Someone Like Sakayanagi!

When Hikigaya saw the two free dinners placed in front of Sakura Airi, he instinctively thought that Sakura Airi prepared them for other people.

After all, Hikigaya is fully confident in his personal charm.

Even if he couldn't be said to be as popular as Hirata, at least he could be said to be disliked by everyone in school, and even dogs shook their heads when they saw him.

However, what Hikigaya didn't know this time was that he was actually wrong.

In order to express her gratitude, Sakura Airi received two free dinners in two installments. Although this was not a meaningful reward, it was all she could do to the best of her ability.

Therefore, when Hikigaya said, "So you want to eat with other people?", Sakura Airi's expression suddenly became gloomy.

She seemed to have suddenly fallen into a state of depression, and the air around her became increasingly depressing.

"???"

Hikigaya felt the changes in the air, but he could not understand them at all and did not know how to respond.

There's no way around it. Sakura Airi can be said to be the type of person he's least good at interacting with.
