Please do not create family conflicts for others.

"Then stop complaining and get to work."

"When will this ever end?"

“Select all those who truly need help, provide them with support, spend all 200 million yuan, and that will be the end of it.”

"Hey... to be honest, usually very few people would participate in something like this, right? Why is everyone so enthusiastic?"

"Perhaps it's because there are really a lot of people who need help?"

"impossible!"

Hachiman Hikigaya scoffed, casually pulled out an application form, and slowly read aloud:

"I don't get along well with my classmates and I'm hoping you can help me figure out a solution. Hmm... this is indeed a difficult situation for students."

"But I can't solve problems at other schools, can I? I can't exactly go to their school and call them all together to give them a dressing down, can I? Do I have that kind of right?"

"Moreover, is it really necessary to fill out a special application form for such a trivial matter?"

When he noticed that Masamune had placed the application form into the stack of documents that could be processed while he was talking, he couldn't help but laugh.

After all the complaining, are you still going to decide to help?

"How do you plan to handle this matter?"

"Write a letter and tell him that loneliness can also be a kind of pleasure."

"Haha... Can we announce it now?"

"??"

"Publishing this request and your solution online will be counted as part of the performance of this event."

"No!" Hachiman Hikigaya quickly stopped him. "I only talked, and in the end, I didn't really help much. To count this as a performance record would be shameless."

"I also have a case here, would you like to hear about it?"

"Do not listen."

“Even if you don’t want to hear it, I have to say it. Someone claims to be a fan of Hachiman Hikigaya, is critically ill, and hopes to see you before he dies. The signature is, ‘An 80-year-old grandmother.’”

"...Fake!"

Hachiman Hikigaya was somewhat speechless; this was obviously fake.

What do you mean by an eighty-year-old grandmother? Are there any fans of Oregairu who are like that?

If that really exists, then it's quite impressive.

“I also have a request here.” Doma Umaru smiled and waved the document in his hand, then read aloud, “Someone claims to be a fan of Oregairu, and got into a car accident on his way to buy the light novel. He hopes that Yukino Yukinoshita can be his maid for a day and take care of him personally.”

"Fake!"

Hachiman Hikigaya didn't hesitate at all; even an eighty-year-old grandmother was more trustworthy than this request.

"Hehe... These requests are quite interesting if you treat them as stories." Doma Umaru casually tossed aside the request in his hand and picked up a new one to read.

As he continued reading, Hachiman Hikigaya grew increasingly frustrated.

"To be honest, haven't we established cooperative relationships with several detective agencies? Why should we be the ones reading the letters here?"

"It costs money to have a detective investigate. Before that, we definitely have to review it first and then select the feasible ones for the detective to conduct the actual investigation. To put it bluntly, it's both to save money and to save trouble."

Masamune paused for a moment, then continued:

“When a detective receives a case, regardless of whether it is feasible or not, he must go and see for himself. There is no situation where he can reject a case based on mere conjecture.”

"In other words, only we can reject a commission outright before the investigation is conducted."

Also.

Hachiman Hikigaya remained silent.

However, the workload is indeed too great.

They were reviewing the applications one by one, while the application forms kept arriving in boxes. Even with enough manpower, the number of applications couldn't keep up with the volume of applications being processed.

"We're short-handed, let's bring in some more people."

"Unfortunately, all the idle staff from various departments have been brought in. If we continue to pull people out, it will affect the animation production schedule. This is the only thing we must avoid."

"Then we'll hire new people."

"Rehiring new staff just for this event? What happens after the event? Leave them idle or lay them off?"

"Hire some temporary workers."

"So how do you let those people know that they are just temporary workers and will not be permanent? Instead of hiring, why not ask your relatives, friends, and classmates to come and help?"

At that moment, Doma suddenly realized that the two of them were looking at him. He was slightly taken aback, but quickly came to his senses.

"Teacher Da has been enrolled for so long, and still hasn't made any friends?"

"...I think we need to discuss the definition of a friend first."

"Stop! I can ask Ebina and the others to come and help. They're also very interested in these things, so it shouldn't be a problem. However, it's just Ebina and the others. I don't really think it's reliable to ask the other students."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you." Masamune nodded slightly.

"In that case, I'll make the call now."

Doma put down the documents in his hand, took out his phone, and began dialing the numbers of the other people one by one.

"Hikaru, could you come to Musashino? I need your help with something."

"Anyway, you don't have anything to do right now. As a reward, I'll treat you to dinner, anything is fine."

"Okay, please."

Upon seeing this, Masamune smiled unconsciously.

Speaking of which, when they first met, Kongo Hikaru was very hostile towards Umaru.

Now, the two have a pretty good relationship.

"Hachiman, can't you even call him by yourself?"

Hachiman Hikigaya sighed softly and said slowly:

"Ultimately, it's a personality issue; I just don't get along with my current partner. I do have a few classmates at school with whom I get along, but... they're all the 'wooden man' type, so calling them friends just doesn't feel quite right."

"You really haven't improved at all."

The sudden, cold voice from behind made Hachiman Hikigaya freeze in surprise.

The voice of Yukino Yukinoshita!

Even without turning around, he could clearly sense that she was standing at the door.

"Did you call him?" Hachiman Hikigaya stared intently at Masamune, trying to ask with his eyes.

'no. '

'Who is that? They actually betrayed me! Despicable!'

Chapter 457 Doing Good Deeds Requires Leaving Your Name

“Brother, I heard from Ayaha that you’ve been very busy these past few days, and you even took the day off from school yesterday morning. Since it’s the weekend today, I invited Ayaha and Yukinoshita over.”

Hearing his sister's voice behind him, Hachiman Hikigaya was speechless. So it was you who betrayed me? Komachi.

Turning around, Hachiman Hikigaya was momentarily stunned when he saw Yukino Yukinoshita dressed in casual clothes, as well as Yui Yuigahama and the others.

Compared to high school, the two of them have hardly changed.

That makes sense, it's only May now, just over two months since I graduated from high school.

"Why are you here?"

"Musashino is holding such a grand service event, why can't I come? I don't remember when you became the head of the Service Department."

Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a moment, then asked:

"That two hundred million probably wasn't from you, was it?"

"Yes, Hayase."

"I knew it."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced around at the several boxes laid out on the ground, then her gaze shifted to Masamune:

"There must be more than that, right?"

"Yes, this is only part of it. The people in the two rooms next door are doing the same thing. Basically, one or two boxes are delivered every half hour."

Masamune put down the documents in his hand and looked at Yukinoshita and the others.

Komachi Hikigaya stood at the very front, Iroha Isshiki and Yukino Yukinoshita stood some distance apart, Yui Yuigahama and Yukinoshita stood closer together, and Mii Haba stood at the very back, in an observer's position.

"Thank you for coming to help. There are too many documents, and we are indeed short-staffed."

"After this is all over, I'll treat everyone to a big meal and give each of you a red envelope as a token of my gratitude."

"No need, we're not here for the money," Yukino Yukinoshita said casually, but did not refuse outright.

Ultimately, she herself is not short of money, but others may not be.

Do we need to look at every single one?

“That’s right. Some application forms have attached documents, and we are the first review body. After we review the documents, we will send them to a detective agency for an on-site investigation to see if the applicant is lying and whether they really need help.”

Is this all there is to our work?

"No, after the detective agency determines the list of people to be helped, we will divide into several teams based on the number of people and go to provide on-site support. After that, we will be interviewed by the TV station together with the people to share our experiences and feelings."

"is it necessary?"

"Of course, nowadays, doing good deeds requires leaving a name; remaining anonymous will only be seen as doing something wrong and being too ashamed to show your face."

Is two hundred million enough?

"It's hard to say. Let's compile a list of recipients first, and then see if we need to add more funds. The two hundred million is my own calculation, which is the limit that Bikiguchi can come up with even if he goes bankrupt."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but laugh.
