Let's do it again, Yukino.

"So what are you jealous about this time? Instead of wasting your time on this, can you focus on your studies? There's another test in a few days, are you trying to write another guarantee, you idiot?"

The girl's words made Chunri frown slightly.

Despite the terrible situation, Xiaoxue still showed absolutely no sense of crisis, which truly disappointed him.

So he decided to punish this arrogant girl.

then,

The boy's handsome face slammed hard onto Xiaoxue's delicate hand at that moment, though it didn't hurt much.

However, Haruhi believed that her actions would at least teach this young girl, who was unaware of the seriousness of the situation, a small lesson.

"You're allowed to be jealous, but I'm not?"

Spring looked at the slightly red little hand with satisfaction and released her face.

"In short, I'm determined to get involved in what's going on between Hachiman and that Yui-hama guy. I don't want Hachiman to steal my girlfriend away."

He didn't intend to pay any attention to Yukino behind him. Kasuga made this decision on his own, since he felt that he had already re-established his authority and didn't need the girl's consent.

The boy ran towards the exit of the rooftop.

"You're only allowed to do this once, and don't scare Yui."

Xiaoxue didn't stop Chunri's actions. As she watched him open the rooftop door, she shook her slightly sore hands and feet and gave him a light, indifferent warning.

Although she couldn't guess what this guy was up to, in her mind, Kasuga wouldn't do anything too outrageous.

The worst that could happen was being forced by the head of student affairs to write a self-criticism that showed absolutely no remorse.

Moreover, this guy has been worrying and fretting about a lot of trivial matters these past few days, so she doesn't mind letting him find some fun to relax and unwind.

In her eyes, Hachiman was a good choice to relax in the spring.

"Trust me, I will use my methods to make sure that Hachiman and Yuihama reconcile."

With her back to Yukino, Haruhi gave her a thumbs-up and ran off the rooftop without looking back.

Looking up again, the sky was so blue.

……

…………

I have a feeling that I've been set up.

Hachiman Hikigaya always believed that as long as he kept to himself, he could avoid all the troubles he would encounter in high school.

Although he recently distanced himself from Yuihama, he does not regret pulling the flag.

However, the reality was still beyond Da Zhangwei's expectations.

When Kawasaki-kun, who had barely spoken a few words to him...

He slowly walked to his desk.

He took off the headphones he used to listen to music and pass the time during his free time.

And when he was told that someone was looking for him at the back door of the classroom,

A chill ran down my spine from my tailbone straight to my brain, and I couldn't help but shiver.

Hachiman Hikigaya always had the feeling that he was being secretly arranged by someone.

……

If he could, Hachiman would prefer that the girl standing at the back door of the classroom is a year younger than him, an ignorant girl who has mustered up the courage to confess her feelings to him because of her admiration.

Even so, the pinkish imagery still caused Hachiman some trouble and problems.

But it's still better than what he's in now.

Classroom for Grade 2, Group B

It was unusually quiet.

The atmosphere was oppressive and heavy.

The wind blew by, but made no sound at all.

In the classroom, you could hear a pin drop.

The guys from the popular group, like Hobe who was chatting with random guy AB, stopped making noises within seconds.

All eyes in Class B were on him inside the classroom and on the maverick little tyrant outside.

In their hearts, Haruhi Kasuga's position at Soubu High School is equivalent to Takeshi Gouda's position in Doraemon.

In short, try to avoid it if you can.

As for if you can't avoid it...

Thinking of this, and looking at Kasuga Gian who appeared at the back door of the classroom with a cold expression, the students all turned their sympathetic gazes toward Hachiman Hikigaya, who was being targeted by Kasuga.

At least one class of students felt that such an ending was somewhat cruel and regrettable.

However, they also had some doubts.

That boy with dead fish eyes,

What was his name again?

……

"Um, Ebina, quick, quick, go to the office and ask Hiratsuka-sensei for help..."

Suddenly realizing the tense atmosphere around her, Yumiko frowned, put down her magazine, and cautiously glanced at Haruhi, who hadn't noticed her. She then lowered her voice and whispered in the ear of a woman wearing glasses.

"The front door is locked, the back door is blocked, we can't get out for the time being, and—"

The bespectacled woman, called "Ebina," covered her reddened nose with her hand and spoke softly, her face flushed and her breath coming in ragged gasps.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing that scene on stage, Yumiko. Between Kasuga-kun and Hikigaya-kun, which one is the seme and which one is the uke?"

"..."

On the other side, Yuihama, who had been silent all along, looked at Xiaoqi with a worried expression as she strode forward as if her feet were made of lead.

Is Xiao Qi alright?

……

……

"Come with me, young master. I need to talk to you about something, Hachiman-kun. Let me make this clear beforehand: I'm not in a good mood, really."

Haruhi waved at Hachiman with a forced smile, his voice carrying clearly throughout the classroom.

The latter, his face contorted with barely suppressed bitterness, reluctantly walked towards the back door while inwardly grumbling.

Please don't call me by such an affectionate name!

Also, why do you come to me when you, Kasuga Gian, are in a bad mood...?

"bring it on."

Spring has come around again.

(P.S.: I'll correct any typos as soon as possible. Well, I tend to get a bit more excited when I'm typing at night.)

Chapter 101 No Past grudges, No Present enmity

"I remember that I have no past grudges or recent feuds with you, Kasuga-kun, so why do I always feel like you're targeting me..."

The last time they were in the Service Club, and even the time before that, on the tennis court, Hachiman Hikigaya already felt that the boy in front of him was targeting him from time to time.

He didn't recall ever offending this Haruhi Kasuga classmate; keeping a respectful distance was the best way to describe him.

Unlike Hiratsuka Shizuka,

Although Ms. Hiratsuka is extremely strong in combat, Hachiman Hikigaya knows that he can at least reason with her.

As for Haruhi Suzumiya, who had become so shameless as to compare himself to "Fat Tiger of Soubu High School," Hachiman had absolutely no intention of arguing with him.

If I accidentally provoke this unapproachable old man into anger, I'll be the one who suffers in the end.

Hachiman Hikigaya, who had been brought to the rooftop by spring, sighed softly to himself.

"Who said there aren't any? Hachiman, you've offended me in countless ways, but you're just too ignorant to know it. Besides, even if I'm targeting you, Hachiman, do you have a problem with that?"

Although he couldn't explain the full reasons for his anger to Hachiman,

"You bastard, just stay here with me for a while. And don't worry, as long as you don't cause trouble, I won't do anything to you. Here, MAX, want a drink?"

Holding two cans of MAX coffee he'd snatched from a vending machine, he sat high on the rooftop, thought for a moment, and then, gazing at the distant spring, decided to give one to Hachiman, who was sitting below him.

Hachiman caught the coffee that was thrown down from above steadily and watched with curiosity as Haruhi, who had already unscrewed the coffee ring, gulped it down by herself.

How did you know I like Max?

"Because I like to drink too, Hachiman, yours is just something I did on the side."

Spring calmly explained.

"Don't call me by my name like that. I don't remember our relationship being that close."

Hearing the other person keep calling him Hachiman so familiarly, Hikigaya couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

"I'll call you Hachiman, do you have a problem with that? If you do, I'll beat you up."

"Oh, then I have no objection."

Seeing the other person gesturing with a fist the size of a clay pot, Hachiman, who had originally wanted to say something to ease his discomfort, felt less unwell and couldn't help but chuckle dryly. He lowered his head and silently began to drink his can of coffee.

Time passed by like this.

Just as Haruhi said, he only wanted Hachiman to stay with him for a while. After finishing the can of coffee, as if he had completed some kind of sacred ritual, he flipped and jumped down from the height.

It's about time.

He thought to himself silently,

"You stay here and don't move around. I'm going to buy you a girlfriend."
