Machete Style Anime

However, humans are essentially social animals.

Even though he curled up like a hedgehog, protecting himself with his quills and refusing to interact with people, he never forgot that someone could make him lower his guard and treat him with sincerity.

Unfortunately, due to his past dark history and psychological trauma, his perception and views on various things are very unique, making him seem out of place with his peers and thus unable to integrate into their groups.

However, this idea changed after meeting Kasugano Mirai.

Even old friends, with white hair, still hold their swords; those who have long since achieved high positions laugh and adjust their hats.

Some people you can know your whole life and still not trust, while others you can entrust your life to after only meeting them a few times.

While Hachiman Hikigaya's experiences certainly led to his rejection by his peers, or rather, most people, they weren't entirely without merit; at least he was decent at judging people.

The moment he saw Kasugano Mirai, his intuition told him that he could get along with this person!

So, after class that day, for the first time since he started high school, he took the initiative to greet other people.

"Hello, I'm Hachiman Hikigaya. Since you're new here, feel free to ask me any questions or if you'd like to visit the school."

"Ah? Thank you, my name is Kasugano Mirai."

"I don't know why, but the moment I saw you, I felt that we might become very good friends in the future."

……

……

……

"Kasugano, I suddenly realize that I don't know you very well."

Hachiman Hikigaya said this while sweeping the floor.

Kasugano Mirai asked calmly, "How so?"

"Whether it was your behavior towards Ms. Shizuka in the office or your confrontation with Yukino Yukinoshita in the club, it made me feel that my understanding of you was too one-sided."

"Or rather, I've never really known you."

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Mirai continued what she was doing without looking up, and said, "It's not that I don't know enough, it's just that it's not common."

"Because everything that happened today was a low-probability event for me."

“Under normal circumstances, I would not be called in for a talk by the teacher, nor would I argue with a girl over trivial matters.”

"I can only say I was unlucky."

"I was so busy during the holidays that I paid someone to do my homework for me, but I never expected to dig a hole for myself."

"One thing leads to another, which has led to today's problems."

"Unless I am willing to give way, it is inevitable that I will have a conflict or disagreement with Yukino Yukinoshita."

"for…"

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was about to ask why, he suddenly changed his mind at the last minute.

"Too."

"Besides her excellence, Yukino Yukinoshita is also famous for her eccentric personality."

"Given her sarcastic remarks, it was inevitable that a conflict would occur if you didn't back down."

"But under normal circumstances, wouldn't boys show gentlemanly manners and give way to girls in that situation?"

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Mirai looked up and gave Hikigaya Hachiman a big eye roll.

"Brother, it's already the 21st century."

"Gender equality!"

"Everyone is experiencing life for the first time, and we all have a head on our shoulders."

"Why should I give in to her if she hasn't done anything wrong?"

Just because she's a girl?

"Then why didn't she just tell me to give it to her?"

"I'm a boy!"

"Most of those polite guys are just after women's bodies; people like me who are simply standing up for themselves are a minority."

After careful consideration, Hachiman Hikigaya realized that this was indeed the case.

So-called gentlemanly conduct often masks ulterior motives. If one is honest and upright, resolving issues will be much simpler if one adheres to the principles of gender equality.

"alright."

The conversation ended there, but Hachiman Hikigaya immediately asked a new question: "After you finish your chores, are you going straight home?"

"Ah."

After a pause, Kasugano Mirai looked at her friend teasingly: "Of course, if you invite me to your house, it's okay if I come home a little later."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been all smiles just moments before, instantly changed his expression.

"You'd better watch out if you try anything with Komachi!"

"Even if they are friends, this is absolutely unforgivable behavior!"

Kasugano Mirai rolled her eyes again.

"You're such a siscon!"

"It's not unfounded for others to call Chiba the hometown of sister complex."

"Komachi is the cutest in the world, I'd be happy to be her siscon!"

Upon hearing this, Kasugano Mirai lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds before giving an affirmative answer.

"really!"

"Younger sisters are always cuter when they're someone else's."

"For Komachi's sake, I'll accept you as my brother-in-law!"

"You bastard! Prepare to die!"

Chapter Fourteen: Snatching a Little Cutie

Let's go back in time a little.

After Kasugano Mirai and Hikigaya Hachiman left the activity room, Yukino Yukinoshita spent some time alone in the activity room thinking about her future plans before packing her things and leaving the school.

As the girl passed through an alleyway, she suddenly heard a faint meow coming from inside.

As a hidden cat lover, Yukino Yukinoshita is quite concerned about cats because she is unable to raise them herself for various reasons.

After looking around and making sure there were no people he knew nearby, he cautiously walked into the alley.

The alley was as dirty, messy, and dilapidated as she had imagined. What seemed out of place in this environment were the cardboard boxes placed on the ground not far from the alley entrance.

The cardboard box isn't the point; the point is what's inside it.

To be precise, it's a little cutie.

As if sensing someone's arrival, the little furball in the cardboard box began to bark frantically.

"Meow~meow~"

Its cry was full of energy, yet it also carried a hint of weakness.

With her rich theoretical experience, Yukinoshita Nekono observed that this was a newly weaned kitten that had been abandoned by its owner and was currently in a state of hunger.

"Meow~"

The girl gathered her skirt and squatted down gently, meowing to put the kitten at ease while tentatively reaching out to touch it.

She was lucky; the kitten was the friendly type.

Of course, it could also be because they were hungry and were trying to sell their bodies for food.

In conclusion, Yukino Yukinoshita got her wish and petted the kitten.

She played happily with the kitten for a while, and as the kitten's meows became increasingly urgent, she got up and went to a nearby store to buy cat food.

Considering that the kitten may have just been weaned and its teeth may not be fully developed, she plans to buy some more liquid food.

The cat in front of me should be classified as a domestic shorthair cat, and although domestic shorthair cats have a good tolerance to lactose in milk, it is still a kitten that has just been weaned.

Just to be on the safe side, the girl decided to buy some more goat milk.

“Ding-deng-deng!!!”

As the hurried footsteps faded into the distance, the only sounds in the alley were the meows of the kitten.

................................................................................................................................................................................................................ ………………

Second grade, class F.

Because of a single sentence, Kasugano Mirai was chased for quite a while by the enraged Hikigaya Hachiman, causing what should have been a few minutes of cleaning to take fifteen minutes, and even leaving serious aftereffects—

"Kill you!"

"Xinei!"

"I absolutely disagree!"

......

……

……

Amidst her friend's resentful grumbling, Kasugano Mirai finally finished mopping the classroom floor.

He threw the mop and bucket on the ground, uttered a few words, grabbed his schoolbag, and rushed out the door.

"Hachiman, I've finished mopping the floor. Could you please tidy up your cleaning tools?"

It wasn't really school bullying or bullying; it was just that I didn't want to bear the anger and resentment of a sister-complex.

As she walked out of the school gate and looked back in the direction of her classroom, Kasugano Mirai patted her chest with lingering fear.

"Although I did have some vague recollection of the fact that Hachiman is a siscon, I underestimated his reaction because it was so unclear, which caused me to suffer from my ears."
