A supporting character in a romance anime? I became a god using a rat talisman.

Service Department

Kazama Chiba stared at the sign for a long time.

Then he turned his head and looked at Hachiman Hikigaya beside him.

"Hey, Hachiman, don't you think this name sounds a bit...?"

"what"

Hachiman's dead fish eyes lit up instantly, as if he had met a kindred spirit.

"It's just too much. I bet the person who came up with this name has their head full of paid content for late-night shows, or some weird fetish involving maid outfits and whips."

“I feel the same way,” Kazama Chiba nodded. “I feel like once I go in, I’ll be forced to sign some kind of indenture, and then be surrounded by a group of people dressed in strange clothes…”

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka did not speak.

She simply raised her fist silently.

then.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two muffled thuds.

Kazama Chiba and Hikigaya both covered their heads and squatted down at the same time.

"it hurts……"

"His brains are about to come out..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka blew on non-existent dust from her fist.

"You two are full of filthy nonsense!"

"Go inside quickly and be grateful."

She kicked the door open.

Then, as if carrying two bags of non-recyclable trash, he threw the two boys, who were still rubbing their heads, into the classroom.

The afternoon sun shone brightly throughout the classroom.

The room was empty, with countless old tables and chairs piled up in the corners and casually pulled apart.

Only by the window was a young girl sitting quietly.

She was looking down, holding a paperback novel with no cover in her hands. Her long, straight black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, and a few strands were blown by the wind, gently brushing against her fair, almost translucent cheeks.

Hearing the noise, the girl did not immediately look up, but simply turned a page of her book.

It wasn't until Hiratsuka Shizuka walked in with two noise sources that she slowly closed her book and looked up.

Those cool, clear eyes swept across the three faces.

The image finally settled on Kazama Chiba.

There was no emotional fluctuation; it was as if he were looking at a stone on the roadside or a piece of waste paper.

"Hiratsuka-sensei"

The girl's voice is very beautiful.

It is crisp and clean, yet carries a coldness that keeps people at a distance.

"I remember saying that you should knock before entering a room. It's a basic courtesy as a human being. Has your menopause gotten so severe that you've forgotten even this common sense?"

Chapter 30 A Quiet and Lovely Conversation

"Sorry, sorry, I was busy with my hands, so I used my feet."

Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand dismissively, shoving the two boys who were covering their heads inside like trash.

"By the way, Yukinoshita. The teacher brought you two new club members. These two have a bit of a twisted personality, but I think they're perfect for you."

"Member?"

Yukino Yukinoshita raised an eyebrow slightly.

"If you're here to inspect club activities, please go ahead. But if you're trying to cram this weirdo into my office, then I have no choice but to refuse."

"Don't say that, Yukinoshita."

Hiratsuka Shizuka walked in nonchalantly, as if she hadn't heard the sarcastic remark.

"These two are new members. Although they seem a bit off, they're quite a rare breed. Just consider it a donation."

"charitable?"

Yukino raised an eyebrow.

"I regret to decline."

"The mission of the Service Department is indeed to lend a helping hand to those in need. But this does not include recycling non-combustible waste."

She extended her slender finger and pointed at Kazama Chiba without hesitation.

"Especially Chiba"

Hiratsuka Shizuka paused for a moment.

"Why? Although this guy has a sharp tongue, he's still smart. Besides, I haven't heard that you two have any grudges."

Kazama Chiba glanced at the girl sitting by the window, still maintaining her aloof demeanor.

It seems the other person doesn't know how to interact with him anymore.

"Did you hear that, teacher?"

Kazama Chiba looked out the window and said.

"Since I'm being looked down upon like this, I might as well go back home; the air is better there."

Hiratsuka Shizuka rubbed her temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"Tsk."

She had hoped that these two highly intelligent but troubled children would spark something between them, but it turned out to be a clash of titans.

"Looks like it's hopeless. Yukinoshita may be stubborn, but she makes sense. Since you were rejected, Hachiman probably won't be able to either."

She reached out to pull on Biggigan's collar.

“Let’s go somewhere else. Maybe it would be good for you to attend a meditation session or a waterfall retreat.”

Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

That would be great if I got rejected.

However, Yukino said, "He can stay."

"what?"

This time, even Hiratsuka Shizuka was shocked.

"Why? Yukinoshita, isn't this a bit of a double standard?"

Yukino said calmly.

"We don't need to hold an arthropod that can mimic human speech to human moral standards."

"..."

puff.

It looks like something broke.

Hachiman Hikigaya clutched his chest, staggered a step, and stared wide-eyed at the ground.

It's not just about self-esteem.

It seems that even the basic dignity of a primate was crushed by the girl sitting by the window with an indifferent attitude.

This hurts me even more than if you just rejected me outright!

After leaving Hachiman Hikigaya alone in the Service Club to fend for himself, Shizuka Hiratsuka walked down the corridor with Chiba Kazama.

"Ugh……"

She suddenly stopped, turned around, crossed her arms, and looked at the still carefree boy behind her with a look of disappointment.

"Kazama, don't you ever reflect on your own actions?"

"Reflect on what?"

Kazama Chiba stopped three steps away from her at a safe distance.

"Why is it that even though your face is good enough to fool a few young girls, everyone, from Yukinoshita just now to others, has such mixed feelings about you?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka frowned, her expression conveying a sense of disappointment and frustration that her child had turned out this way.

Kazama Chiba casually rambled on without a care in the world.

"Perhaps it's because outstanding people are always envied."

Sheep flock together, but tigers roam alone.

"..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's hands were itching, and she resisted the urge to punch this narcissist.

Is this the important point?

"The key question is what you plan to do next? The school's regulations are strict. Since Yukinoshita rejected you, I don't think you'll be interested in other respectable clubs, or rather, they might not be interested in you. You can't just stay in the 'Homecoming Club' forever, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Kazama Chiba suddenly looked at him in surprise.

"Teacher, if I may ask a question, if I remain a member of the 'Homecoming Club' for the next three years and resolutely refuse to participate in any club activities, will your salary be deducted?"

"what?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka paused for a moment, clearly not keeping up with this sudden leap in her thought process.
