"Bingo! It's a pity there is no reward. Do you know why?" Yang Nai clapped his hands in praise.
Hikigaya shook his head.
"Because... only naive Japanese people think that they can be forgiven just by saying sorry!"
"..."
Well, Hikigaya couldn't find a reason to refute for a moment. At the same time, the implication of Haruno's words was about to be revealed. Hikigaya lowered his head and said weakly: "So, what does Yukinoshita-san want?"
"Hikigaya-kun, can you guess why I came here? There's a reward~" Yono looked at Hikigaya with a smile.
"It should be the club recruiting new members."
This is fake! Hikigaya thought to himself.
Although the two of them spent a very short time together, Hikigaya discovered that although Haruno seemed curious about the recruitment of new members for the surrounding clubs, she actually did not take it seriously. Considering Haruno's identity in junior high school, Hikigaya had a vague guess in his mind, but decided to pretend to be confused.
Haruno narrowed her eyes and stared at Hikigaya's eyes without saying a word. The atmosphere suddenly became a little cold. Hikigaya subconsciously avoided her gaze, but Haruno suddenly smiled when she saw this.
"Haha, Hikigaya-kun, you're really cunning." Haruno pretended to be dissatisfied: "You've already guessed it, but you still pretend not to know."
A trace of panic flashed across Hikigaya's face. Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, Haruno took the lead and said, "I've decided. Let's join the student council together!"
Hikigaya's face froze. "Wait, the student council is totally unsuitable for someone like me! No, why would I join the student council?"
Whenever the student council is mentioned, Hikigaya always thinks of the miserable days when he was treated as a hard laborer by a little devil schoolgirl. He was obviously just an insignificant chores, but he had to do the work of a corporate slave. He didn't want to experience it again!
Yang Nai suddenly asked meaningfully, "Do you know what's so special about this school?"
Hikigaya's expression froze. Sure enough, Haruno already knew the truth about this school, but Hikigaya still pretended not to understand. "What's so special about it? Of course it's the 100% admission and employment rate. And I'm just a student in Class D. There's no way I can join a high-ranking organization like the Student Council."
Hikigaya vaguely smelled a very troublesome smell from Haruno's words!
"Oh?"
Haruno leaned close to Hikigaya's ear with a half-smile on her face, "Let me tell you a little secret. The student union of this school is very special. They have far more power than ordinary schools, and they can easily do things that ordinary students can't do."
Hikigaya looked puzzled and bewildered. "What do you mean? Could it be that the Student Council has something even more outrageous than 'giving out 10 individual points every month'?"
Yang No didn't say anything, staring at Hikigaya's dead fish eyes. This time, Hikigaya didn't dodge, but looked directly at him. Confusion and doubt were obviously visible in his eyes, and no one could notice anything unusual.
10 seconds.
30 seconds.
One minute.
After a long time, Hikigaya finally seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and couldn't help but glance away.
"Mr. Chida is such a born liar! Even I almost got fooled by him."
Finished!
Although Haruno in front of him seemed normal, Hikigaya still vaguely sensed a hint of anger flashing across the other's face. This was the "intuition" he had gained after being toyed with by the big devil for many years!
"Hey, isn't this the guy who was late on the first day of school?"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from behind Hikigaya and Haruno, interrupting them.
It was the silly duo of Ike and Yamauchi. Because the red-haired boy went to the basketball club to consult about related matters, only the two of them were left wandering around in the gymnasium.
They were said to be strolling around, but in reality their eyes kept wandering around different girls, their lustful eyes kept scanning them without any concealment at all, they were simply a pair of idiots!
"Wow, why is there a girl around this guy Hidori? Damn it! What kind of shitty luck is this!"
When Ike Kanji saw Haruno beside Hikigaya, especially since Haruno herself had a superior appearance and an impressive figure, his eyes widened immediately, and his face showed undisguised jealousy and envy, and he cursed with gritted teeth.
"Oh, so Dead Fish Eyes is called Hitoriya. I thought it was called Flounder, haha!" Yamauchi laughed loudly without caring about the presence of the person involved.
Just like Ike, Yamauchi's eyes widened when he saw Haruno. He ignored Hikigaya, who had a sullen look on his face, and quickly walked over to Haruno, greeting her in a familiar manner: "Hey, which class are you from? My name is Yamauchi Haruki, the ace pitcher of the baseball team in junior high school, and an eighth-degree black belt in karate. I'm very grateful for your guidance."
After saying that, Yamauchi even deliberately fiddled with his hair, which was heavily gelled, and struck a pose that he thought was very handsome.
Hey, you idiot are so disgusting!
Hikigaya is completely embarrassed!
At the same time, Hikigaya also noticed the questioning and puzzled look from Haruno, and Hikigaya turned his face away, looking as if he didn't know this idiot at all.
Yang No was visibly stunned for a moment, then his gaze fell on Yamauchi: "Black belt? Eighth degree?"
"It's just a trivial matter." Upon hearing this, Yamauchi quickly puffed out his chest and rubbed the tip of his nose with his thumb in a very showy manner: "Want to learn? I'll teach you!"
It seemed that Yang No could no longer hold back and burst out laughing. Unfortunately, Yamauchi, who claimed to be an eighth-degree black belt, did not understand the meaning of it. He thought that it was his handsomeness and amazing resume that successfully attracted the attention of the girl opposite.
"By the way, you haven't introduced yourself yet. We are in the same grade. How about we hang out together someday? It's okay, I'm rich." At the same time, Hikigaya also noticed the gaze of Yamauchi, who was always staring at a certain part of Haruno intentionally or unintentionally.
Hey, bastard, you are too disgusting!
Hikigaya couldn't bear to watch it anymore. Yamauchi was an idiot and there was no hope for him!
At the same time, Hikigaya felt an inexplicable anger in his heart. He ignored the two men who looked like they wanted to eat him, stepped forward and blocked Haruno's side, just blocking the sight of Ike and Yamauchi. They could only see a pair of dead fish eyes rich in DHA.
This idiot is probably still immersed in the beautiful dream of earning 10 personal points every month. And judging from Hikigaya's observation today and the other party's deliberate showing off, this guy Yamauchi bought game consoles and a lot of digital products in just one day yesterday, spending at least more than half of his personal points!
However, Yang Noi ignored Yamauchi's obscene gaze and even deliberately adjusted her shirt to highlight her proud parts. Ike and Yamauchi's eyes were attracted by it as if by a magnet and they couldn't move away at all. One could even hear the "gurgling" sound of swallowing coming from their throats.
But... I don't know if it was intentional, but Haruno suddenly moved closer to Hikigaya, and the normal social distance suddenly became ambiguous. A faint scent of osmanthus came from the tip of her nose, and even Hikigaya's arm could be vaguely felt soft.
As Haruno began to speak, Hikigaya suddenly felt a surge of impact like the surging waves of the ocean!
Yamauchi and Ike, who were standing by, were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out of their heads. They wished they could kick Hikigaya away and take over themselves!
"Me? Class A, Grade 1, Snow..."
Halfway through her speech, Haruno seemed to suddenly think of something interesting, and a sly smile appeared on her face: "Sakayanagi... I'm Sakayanagi Arisu from Class A. Please give me your guidance in the future. I'm the ace pitcher with an eighth-degree black belt~~"
Hikigaya on the side suddenly had a frown on his face. Although he didn't know who Sakayanagi was, considering Haruno's sinister personality, there was definitely something wrong. So just as he was about to speak, Haruno opposite him winked at Hikigaya, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Kawaii~ What a lovely name, Sakayanagi-san. You know, Hikigaya was late on the first day of school. Luckily, I have a good relationship with the teacher, otherwise he would have been criticized and punished. Also, this guy was so stupid and just stared blankly during class. Alas, if it weren't for my care, I don't know how he would have been bullied by others." Yamauchi talked incessantly, belittling Hikigaya as worthless!
"Oh? Could it be that Pitcher-kun is the class monitor of Class D?" Yang No asked curiously, but her slightly trembling shoulders and the movement of pursing her lips also betrayed Yang No's current mood.
"Of course!"
A flicker of hesitation crossed Yamauchi's face, but upon seeing Haruno's expectant gaze, the hesitation was instantly forgotten. He said proudly, "Everyone in the class really respects my junior high school experience, but we should also give other students the opportunity to showcase their talents. Alas, sometimes being too outstanding is a sin. It's their misfortune to be born in the same era as me. There's nothing we can do about it. The sun...is naturally so dazzling."
Yamauchi was completely immersed in his own fantasy world, and the more he talked, the more excited he became. "By the way, Sakayanagi-san, are you free to go to the restaurant for dinner later? It's okay, you can use my card... Eh? Where's she?"
At this time, Yamauchi looked around in confusion and found that Yang No who was originally in front of him had disappeared.
Chi Kuanzhi, who was standing by, said expressionlessly at this moment: "Don't look for her anymore. She's already gone."
"What? But I haven't got the contact information yet, damn it!!!"
Chapter 18 Cat and Leopard
"Hahaha, Hikigaya-kun, are all the students in your D class so straightforward and humorous? Sorry, I usually don't do this unless I really can't help it and it's just too... too funny! Is that person just now really the class monitor of your D class?"
Outside the gymnasium, Yang Nai couldn't help but hold her stomach and laugh so hard that she fell backwards.
"Now, Yukinoshita-san, you can understand what I just said, right?" Hikigaya sighed, holding his forehead. "Also... Class D currently doesn't have a true leader. If that idiot really gets the job... well, it's scary just thinking about it!"
And this brainless idiot monkey in the mountains never called his own name from beginning to end. It was definitely intentional!
Then, seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly troublesome, Hikigaya made a hasty decision to take Haruno and escape from the idiot duo. He couldn't even imagine what outrageous things would happen next.
By the way, Hikigaya is not worried about Haruno, but about the monkey-like idiot duo of Yamauchi and Ike, who will definitely be played around by Haruno!
"I see."
"So you're admitting that you're the same type as that ace pitcher with an eighth-degree black belt?"
"..."
"Although these two people are very humorous, their social etiquette, especially when dealing with girls, is really too bad, don't you think?" Yang Nai still had a smile on her face, but she gave people an extremely cold feeling.
Adolescent boys are in a period of great curiosity about the opposite sex. When facing girls, most boys are more reserved, shy and restrained. It is rare to find a guy like Chi and Yamauchi who can be so unscrupulous in front of girls.
As a fellow boy, Hikigaya felt extremely embarrassed. Where did these two horny male dogs come from?
Oh, it’s Class D. That’s okay.
At the same time, Hikigaya also realized the trap in Haruno's words. Haruno had said this much, so logically he should have agreed and condemned the stupid duo's obscene behavior. Everything was so natural.
But if you think about it carefully, if these words were really said and heard by others, Hikigaya would appear hypocritical and pretentious, and would be in an awkward position where he was neither a human being nor a human being.
Well, actually Hikigaya did it himself!
So I can only pretend not to understand and remain silent.
A hint of surprise flashed across Haruno's face, and then she leaned closer to Hikigaya's ear and chuckled softly, "Hikigaya-kun, you've always been a gentleman~"
From the very beginning when the two of them were in the gym, all of Hikigaya's subtle movements were seen by Haruno, whether he was standing up straight and leaning sideways to block the excessive flow of people, or deliberately keeping a distance from her, or just now blocking Yamauchi's actions, there was a contradictory feeling that he clearly wanted to distance himself from her but couldn't help but want to get closer to her.
What makes Yang No even more curious is, is Hikigaya...protecting her?
Thinking of this, Yang Nai couldn't help laughing in his heart. What a childish and arrogant little boy, but followed by a subtle strange feeling.
"Don't, don't get me wrong, I'm not a gentleman. I just know how to control my desires a little better than those two monkeys." Hikigaya felt an itchy feeling in his ears and quickly kept a little distance.
"Eh? Are you saying that... I have no attraction to you?"
"Please don't misinterpret what I mean!" Hikigaya frowned.
"If a guy says 'you're unattractive' to a girl's face, that's a very serious accusation."
"Yukinoshita Haruno is the most charming and lovely girl that I, Hikigaya Hachiman, have ever seen!"
"Hey! W-what do you mean? Even if you suddenly confess to me or something, I, I won't accept it." Yang No suddenly looked flustered.
Pretending! Still pretending?!
Hikigaya sneered inwardly.
"I'm being honest. There's no girl in this school more attractive than Yukinoshita Haruno. I admit that Yukinoshita Haruno is unparalleled in beauty. Living in the same school with you is a tragedy for other girls."
"Hahaha!"
Yang Nai seemed to finally be unable to hold back her laughter and burst into laughter. After a long time, Yang Nai finally recovered, but there was still a slight blush on her face.
"It seems that Hikigaya-kun is usually very 'depressed' in some aspects~" Haruno teased.
"A teenage boy who doesn't have a girlfriend often has as many women in his heart as the emperor's thirty-six palaces, and the filth in his heart is sometimes worse than a public toilet." Hikigaya said expressionlessly.
"Hey, that makes sense! But using the words of a great writer to justify yourself, Hikigaya-kun is really cunning!" At this point, Haruno paused deliberately, then laughed: "Also... So Hikigaya-kun doesn't have a girlfriend~"
Hey, hey, woman, is your focus a little off?
Unconsciously, the rhythm of the conversation was once again controlled by Haruno, and at the same time, Hikigaya felt more and more uneasy and confused, because until now, he didn't know how to get along with the young "Yukinoshita Haruno" in front of him. He wanted to touch her but was afraid of bringing bad influence to the other party. This was also the reason why he had been avoiding her after traveling through time.
Hikigaya took a deep breath, a flicker of struggle in his eyes, but he immediately suppressed it. His expression towards Haruno suddenly became cold, and his tone was filled with an indescribable sense of distance:
"Yukinoshita-san, you should have seen that I'm a boring and withdrawn person. I was also responsible for the car accident, and I've never resented anyone. You've also made compensation, and this matter has long been over.
So, if you're approaching me simply out of guilt or self-admiration, there's absolutely no need. If it weren't for that accident, our paths wouldn't have crossed. From the very beginning, you and I... weren't from the same world. Playing house with a rich young lady, just like playing friends? Find someone else.
Keeping distance from strangers is good for everyone."
Anyone could hear the boredom, rejection and alienation in Hikigaya's blunt and even ruthless words. Under normal circumstances, any girl would feel wronged and angry, and the originally fragile relationship would undoubtedly break down, and the two would eventually become strangers.
However, the imagined scene did not appear. Instead, a smile appeared on Yang No's face: "You know what? Hikigaya-kun, you are like a wounded kitten right now. You clearly hope to be rescued, but you are afraid of being hurt again."
As she spoke, Haruno took the initiative to move forward and move closer. In an instant, the distance between them reached a very ambiguous range. Hikigaya could even vaguely smell the faint scent of osmanthus on the other person, and their eyes were looking directly at each other at this moment.
"Injured...injured kitten?"
What a shameful metaphor!
Hikigaya suppressed his embarrassment and retorted stiffly, "What about Yukinoshita-san? I think it should be a snow leopard."
"Tell me why?" Yang Nai asked with great interest.
"They are very good at using their environment to camouflage themselves and catch prey, and once they leave the snow, they are nowhere to hide."
After saying that, the smile on Haruno's face disappeared at some point. It was a sharp and oppressive feeling, but it disappeared quickly, replaced by that familiar smile: "Is it because of these eyes that Hikigaya-kun is so good at observing others?"
Haruno stretched out her slender fingers and slowly approached. Hikigaya subconsciously dodged, and Haruno's fingers froze in mid-air: "Haha, am I that scary?"
Although there was still a smile on Haruno's face, Hikigaya felt an indescribable coldness in her.
Chapter 19: Labels on Everyone
Hikigaya was mentally prepared for Yono's indifferent reaction and cold expression, but when he really faced it, he couldn't help feeling a little lonely.
