Why did Hikigaya save the anime girls in Sword Story?

"After all, we just reopened and haven't advertised yet. The people who come now are all acquaintances. I guessed it a long time ago."

"I see"

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Yukino and Ms. Yui...right?"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Yukino."

"I'm Yui! Mr. Klein is here too~ What a coincidence!"

After being reminded by Agil, Ryotaro finally came to his senses.

"Agil, what did you just say? Ah! When did the two guests..."

Ryotaro hurriedly bowed and looked up. Seeing the two women's faces, he blushed and looked back and forth between them and Agil.

"It's Ms. Yukino and Ms. Yui."

"Eh? Really?! Nice to meet you. I'm Klein!"

"Nice to meet you, Yukino."

"Yui oh!"

Ryotaro, who was not good at dealing with women, hesitated for a long time before finally squeezing out a safe question:

"Um...why are you two here today?"

"You and Yui happened to be shopping nearby, right?"

"Yeah! I thought I'd come here often in the future, so I decided to check out the environment first!"

"I see, what a coincidence! Ah, Hachiman was here just now."

"Oh, so why is he here?"

"Actually it is..."

Ryotaro told the whole story.

"I see, Takizawa-sensei too... Looks like spring is about to arrive."

"Great!"

"If Hachiman-kun agrees, would you like us to explain the teacher's situation?"

"Is it really possible?"

"Wait a moment, I'll confirm now."

Yukino said as she called Hachiman to communicate, then nodded to Ryotaro:

"He said he could tell me the parts that didn't involve privacy."

"Thank you so much!"

"Then let's take a look at this first."

What Yukino showed was the photo of Mr. Takizawa that Hachiman sent to her.

ALO: Chapter 143: Teacher Takizawa

"Ah... this can't be it."

"That's right, that's right. Once you see this, there's no turning back. If you're prepared, I'll let you see it."

Hearing this, Ryotaro swallowed his saliva with his Adam's apple rolling.

If it was an ordinary photo, Yukino probably wouldn't say such a thing. Ryotaro suppressed his trembling and said to Yukino with a stiff upper lip:

"It's okay, just show me."

Yukino seemed to see through his determination and chuckled: "You have a good eye. Then take a look at this first."

The photo handed over showed Takizawa-sensei beating Hikigaya away. In the photo, Takizawa's face was cut off from the frame and could not be seen clearly.

"Is this Hachiman? He flew really far though."

"As you can see, Mr. Takizawa, like Mr. Jing, often uses iron fist punishment, but other than him, I have never seen a teacher use violence against anyone else."

"So you want me to be prepared to get beaten?"

After hearing this answer, Yukino and Yui both had some doubts. Yukino considerately didn't say it out loud, but Yui asked directly:

"Could it be that... Klein-san is actually a masochist?"

"No! I don't have that kind of perverted fetish!" Ryotaro's face turned pale in an instant and he denied it flatly.

"Your desperate denial is even more suspicious."

"Please spare me, I'm a normal person, please trust me."

"It's because you said you'd 'accept' it," Agil complained helplessly.

"Because...if that really happened, it would definitely be my fault, right? As a man, I should stop making excuses, reflect on myself, and accept the punishment calmly, right?"

"Is it the masochism that drives me crazy?"

"He's a masochist indeed!"

"Hopeless masochist"

"Ahhh, let me go!" Ryotaro was surrounded by three people and screamed with his head in his hands.

Seeing his embarrassment, Yukino smiled and said, "I'm just kidding. Actually, Mr. Takizawa probably doesn't want you to become someone who obeys his orders. If a conflict really occurs, it would be better to express your own ideas and then communicate."

"I see..." Ryotaro kept these words firmly in his heart.

"Next is this one." In the photo that Yukino showed, Takizawa was proudly holding up a bowl of ramen and drinking the soup, his face naturally blocked by the bowl.

"This was taken when we sneaked out to eat ramen during a school trip. Actually, the teacher was trying to sneak out of the hotel and we caught him, so he took us there to keep the secret."

Ryotaro's eyes lit up. "It seems she only knows how to keep a straight face! I love ramen too!"

Yukino tentatively added, "By the way, the teacher added two servings of noodles, didn't he?"

"What's wrong with being bold? I like it that way!"

"Really...that's good." Yukino felt a little admiration for his broad mind.

At this time, Yui handed over a new photo: "Xiaoxue, should we show him this one too?"

"Indeed," Yukino nodded. In a sense, this photo showed the essence of Takizawa Shizuka.

"Look at this, Klein! Tak-tak-tak—Takizawa-sensei's special yakiniku rice bowl!"

The photo shows the dish made by Takizawa - grilled meat on white rice and then drizzled with sauce. Although simple, it is full of wonderful power.

"Looks pretty ordinary, huh? Is there anything special about it?"

"It's just rice, grilled meat, and some sauce, but it's super delicious!"

Agil ③ Z-Master's Bell Wife (Part 2) Shiba asked timidly, "Is this really a dish?"

"Delicious is justice!" Ryotaro's reaction was completely different.

"That's what I said...but the food..." Agil's expression was mixed. As a professional chef, this reaction was normal.

"Besides, it's impossible to eat this every day, right?" Ryotaro looked at the two girls for approval, but found that they had already turned their faces away.

"Hey...you don't have to eat it every day, right?"

Seeing Ryotaro at a loss, Yukino kindly came to the rescue: "Just replace the beef with pork and change the brand of barbecue sauce, and it can be considered a new dish, no problem."

"Right, right! That's... no problem?" Ryotaro, halfway through his words, suddenly understood what was meant and squatted down with his head in his hands. After a few minutes under the warm gaze of the three people, he suddenly jumped up with full health:

"A flash of inspiration! Just set up regular days for us to cook together! Even if we fail when we cook together, we don't have to worry!"

"Haha, that's quite your style," laughed old friend Agil. Yukino and Yui were surprised by his positive attitude, and their favorability towards him soared.

"What do you think, Yuigahama?"

"Well, I passed! Let's bring spring to our Takizawa-sensei!"

The two turned to Ryotaro with a smile and began to teach him the precautions:

"The teacher always tries to be too perfect, which makes things worse. If she insists on going to a fancy restaurant, remember to stop her."

"Teachers' emails tend to be deliberately mature and lengthy, and if you reply a little late, they'll send several emails in a row. It's best to agree on the reply rules in advance."

"Don't be fooled by her appearance, she's actually a speeding enthusiast. Remember to help apply the brakes."

"When you're drunk, you'll look like an old man. Don't get disillusioned."

"Oh! I'm so excited! Thanks for the information!"

Ryotaro was burning with fighting spirit and engraved every piece of advice into his heart. At this moment, he felt that he was standing at a turning point in his life.

"Finally, there's a gift! Check your phone! Komachi sent me an email through Hikigaya!"

The moment he clicked on the attachment, Ryotaro was completely petrified. The photo showed Takizawa in a wedding dress, with the caption "Teacher, I'll leave it to you."

"Agil... Am I... worthy of such a person?" Ryotaro murmured while staring at the photo, joy and inferiority intertwined on his face.

Yui patted his back vigorously: "Don't worry! Although it's not nice to say this, the teacher is super easy to conquer now!"

"Good strategy?"

"Although it may be a bit rude to say this, I am indeed very anxious about marriage right now. If you want to date, now is the best time."

Yukino added, "We say 'good strategy' because we are sure you will be happy together. Please forgive me if it's rude."

"Klein, if you miss out on this beauty, you might be single for the rest of your life. If you're a man, give it your all!"

Encouraged by the three, Ryotaro, who had been timid at first, regained his fighting spirit. (Even if I'm rejected, I have nothing to lose! Let's fight!)

"Excuse me, everyone. Agil, please help me record the video! I need to send a message to Ms. Takizawa!"

Later, according to Hachiman's description, the smile on Takizawa's face with tears in his eyes when he saw the video was the most dazzling sight he had ever seen.

Although spring is coming to an end, in the world of Ryotaro Tsuboi and Takizawa, the late spring is slowly arriving at a steady pace.

ALO: Chapter 144: Hachiman also wants to learn how to drive

"Dad, Mom, there is something I want to discuss with you."

One night, since his parents were at home for the rare occasion, Hachiman thought this was a good opportunity and decided to tell his parents that he wanted to get a driver's license.

After all, I am actually an adult now, and I need a car to get around so that I can do things better.

Even Hachiman was rarely polite in such situations, but perhaps because the incongruity was too unbearable, Komachi immediately complained about her brother.

"Brother, the way you talk is disgusting."

"There's nothing I can do about it. When we're seriously discussing something, we can't just say, 'Mom and Dad need to discuss something with you.'"

By the way, from now on, Hachiman felt it was too embarrassing to call his parents "Dad and Mom" ​​in front of Asuna, so the way of addressing them naturally changed to "Dad, Mom", but that's all for later.

"Actually, school hasn't started yet, so I want to take this opportunity to get a driver's license."

Hachiman gathered himself and spoke to his parents.

"Well, nothing bad, right?"

"Yeah, Hachiman is nineteen now, and he's pretty free except for when he goes to Asuna's place. Now is the perfect time."

The two agreed readily. As for the funding, since the government paid a considerable amount of compensation, the cost of driving school and parking fees before starting work could be easily solved.

His parents also gave the money to Hachiman to manage entirely. Unlike his past carefree behavior, they had personally witnessed their son's growth after surviving SAO, and they believed that Hachiman would not spend money recklessly, so they did not say much.

However, regarding the driver's license test, the parents only put forward one condition: Asuna must be brought home. When Hachiman asked the reason, his parents smiled the brightest smiles they had ever seen and replied:

"She's our lovely daughter-in-law. Isn't it natural that we want to see her every day?"

"You did a great job on this, Hachiman."

In fact, the two were shown photos by Komachi right after Asuna was released from ALO. They were so overjoyed that they took a day off the next day to visit her in the hospital with Hachiman.

The moment they saw Asuna, they were overjoyed and praised Hachiman:

"Great job! Awesome Hachiman!"

"I never dreamed that I could have such a lovely daughter besides Komachi."
