There is something wrong with Hikigaya's classroom of supreme ability

"Shiina, Ryuen-san told you not to have any contact with Hikigaya, so, listen to Ryuen-san and stop..."

Ishizaki said cautiously.

"Ishizaki!"

"……Yes!"

Hiyori suddenly interrupted Ishizaki, and Ishizaki's body immediately froze in place, like a little brother waiting for the boss to speak.

"Go back and tell Ryuuen-kun that I'm helping the class because I don't want to see anyone expelled. I'm not helping him. Who I make friends with is my own business!"

Hiyori was furious. It seemed that this time it was Ryuuen's actions that really made her very angry.

"But……"

Ishizaki wanted to say something, but the next second he was stared back at fiercely by Hiyori.

"I'm really angry this time! Really really angry!!"

Hiyori puffed up her cheeks, put her hands on her hips and repeated, "So, you guys better be prepared tomorrow! If you find out that the knowledge points we randomly check don't pass, hehe, you all know what's going on!"

Woo~

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Hikigaya seemed to hear the cries of Ishizaki and the others.

In the end, Ishizaki, Yamawaki and others could only leave in disappointment, but before leaving, they did not forget to glare at Hikigaya fiercely, as if warning him not to approach Hiyori.

Chapter 73 Your name.

"I'm sorry, Hikigaya-kun. We're really sorry that our classmates have caused you trouble."

After Ishizaki and others left, Hiyori lowered her head and apologized to Hikigaya with an uneasy look on her face. She was completely different from the strong Hiyori before.

"This is none of your business, Shiina-san."

Hikigaya shook his head. The instigator of this incident was Ryuen, and it had nothing to do with Hiyori. He sighed with a complicated expression, "It's better to say that it was thanks to your timely appearance. How could I blame you?"

Hikigaya couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this. Hikigaya was certainly not a masochist. In fact, he had already had a plan in mind before he took the bait.

If Hiyori had not appeared tonight, Hikigaya would have been beaten and kicked by the other party, but as long as he handled things properly afterwards, Hikigaya had at least a 7% chance of making Ishizaki and others pay a huge price or even be forced to drop out of school.

So to put it bluntly...it was Hiyori's appearance that saved Ishizaki and the others. It must be said that it was Hiyori's kindness that saved them invisibly, and at the same time protected Hikigaya from being beaten.

"Actually, Ishizaki-kun and the others aren't bad people by nature. They only did such outrageous things because they were following Ryuuen-kun's instructions!"

Speaking of this, Hiyori also felt angry, and her angry look made Hikigaya feel a little novel and cute.

"I see."

In fact, Hikigaya did not have any special resentment towards Ishizaki and others. He understood that it was just the different positions and interests of both sides that doomed what happened today.

Just like this time, the other party intended to teach him a lesson, and similarly, Hikigaya also seduced and calculated the other party, neither of them was better than the other. Just like many things in this society, there is no right or wrong at all, the only difference is the difference and conflict of position and interests.

But this matter is not over so simply. It can even be said that the appearance of Ishizaki and others just now was a complete accident.

Looking at the guilty and worried Hiyori in front of him, Hikigaya suddenly felt a sense of regret in his heart. The other party had obviously disobeyed Ryuuen's orders in order to protect him, but he was plotting against Class C in a despicable way!

What's even worse is that you want someone in Class C to drop out. Hiyori said she wanted to protect her classmates and did her best not to see them get expelled, but you plan to destroy the very thing the girl wanted to protect. Hikigaya... you really are a bastard!

"What's wrong? What's bothering you?"

Hiyori asked with concern when she saw Hikigaya suddenly fell silent.

Hikigaya thought for a moment and finally spoke: "Shiina-san, I'm asking you, if...if I retaliate against your class, what will you do?"

When asking this question, Hikigaya had already prepared himself mentally.

Hiyori lowered her head in silence for a moment before slowly looking up at Hikigaya. "Well, I won't blame Hikigaya-kun, because this matter... was originally Ryuuen-kun and the others' fault. I understand your feelings, so I can't say to you, 'Don't seek revenge, can't we just be friends?'"

Hiyori looked a little downcast when she said this, but then she looked at Hikigaya with a determined look: "But no matter what Ryuuen-kun does, he is still a student in our class and has always worked hard for the class, even though his methods may be a bit extreme and incorrect.

But I cannot deny students who have such awareness, so I will share the consequences with everyone in Class C."

Hikigaya opened his mouth, his expression complicated, and finally sighed: "I understand."

"If Hikigaya-kun changes because of me and gives up the idea of revenge, I will be very touched and happy."

Hiyori suddenly grabbed Hikigaya's hand, and with clear eyes, she looked at Hikigaya seriously: "But at the same time, I also feel very uneasy. Competition between classes is inevitable. We may have to stand on opposite sides one day, but when that happens, I hope to face it with dignity, do my best, and face it without regrets.

So... please, Hikigaya-kun, don't force yourself to change just to take my feelings into consideration. If you do, I'm afraid one day I'll lose this precious friendship."

Hiyori's idea is actually very simple. She will not stop Hikigaya's revenge, but will choose to bear the "bad consequences brought about by Ryuuen's behavior" with her classmates, and will not blame Hikigaya for it.

At the same time, Hiyori was also keenly aware of the changes in Hikigaya's heart, and realized that it was because of her that the other party was caught in a dilemma. Once one party gave in to the other, the originally pure friendship between the two would be mixed with a trace of impurities, sowing the seeds of rupture, which was what Hiyori least wanted to see.

"I see."

Hikigaya's heart was filled with mixed emotions. How could he not understand the meaning of Hiyori's words? It was precisely because he understood that Hikigaya was suffering even more from the torment and self-blame he felt.

But I'm sorry, Hiyori, maybe I still can't completely ignore the feelings of 'you who are so gentle to others'.

"By the way, Shiina-san..."

Just as Hikigaya was about to speak, Hiyori opposite him frowned slightly and unexpectedly reached out to interrupt Hikigaya. Hikigaya thought the girl had something important to say, but Hiyori seemed to be hesitant to speak, and she hesitated for a long time without saying a word.

Finally, Hiyori took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said, "I don't care, I'll just go for it." "Well, Hikigaya-kun, don't you think there's a sense of distance between us?"

"Yes, is that so?"

Hikigaya was confused.

Hiyori nodded quickly. "We're already friends, but I always feel like there's an invisible barrier between us. It's like walking on clouds without a sense of reality, and we can't communicate any further."

Hikigaya was a little surprised by the girl's persistence in talking about "friends", or perhaps it could be said that the girl in front of him attached much more importance to the word "friends" than he had imagined.

Hikigaya understood what Hiyori meant. What Hiyori wanted was a 'true friend' with whom she could truly confide and be honest with each other, rather than just a simple social relationship.

In fact, just as Rihe said, in today's society, many times although people call each other friends, in fact everyone knows that this is just a social etiquette.

This kind of false interpersonal relationship is too common. The so-called friends are nothing more than the final result of common interests. They may be shoulder to shoulder and call each other "close friends" in the last second, and then become strangers in the next second and say "Who are you? I don't know you."

In Japanese society, it is easy to make friends, but it is very difficult to make deep friends with them. Various complicated etiquette and rules of respect and hierarchy are imposed on everyone, and there is always a sense of insurmountable distance.

Because everyone needs to pretend, they dare not easily reveal their true inner thoughts. They always need to "read the air", worry about other people's thoughts, and are afraid of causing trouble to others, etc., which eventually forms this deformed social relationship.

"So Shiina-san, what are you going to do?"

Faced with this complex interpersonal relationship problem, Hikigaya also didn't know how to solve it. If he could solve it, he would not be a lone ranger. More importantly, he wanted to understand what the girl in front of him was thinking.

"I, I think we can start with the name."

Hiyori said as a matter of course.

"name?"

"I've read that the male and female protagonists in books always start by calling each other by their first names. Hikigaya-kun, you can just call me by my first name from now on. What do you think?"

The girl's sparkling eyes were filled with eager anticipation.

"..."

Hikigaya froze in place, then couldn't help but gasp.

Hikigaya had never imagined that the girl before him would actually make such a request. He could call her "Hina" without any burden, mostly because of the "familiarity" they once had and her heartless and extremely sinister personality. But the girl before him...

Don’t you know that it is very intimate for men and women to call each other by their names?

But when Hikigaya carefully observed the expression of the girl in front of him, it seemed that she really didn't think in that direction. It was more like the girl wanted to imitate the protagonist in the book because he did that, that's all...?

After Hiyori said this, she seemed to be completely determined: "If Hikigaya-kun doesn't say anything, then I will take it as your consent!"

"Yes, but..."

As Hikigaya was about to say something, he noticed the girl's furrowed brows and puffed cheeks, a look of dissatisfaction and grievance. Hikigaya could only bite the bullet and shout, "Hi, Hiyori... please, please give me some advice."

When the girl heard this, the grievance and gloom on her face disappeared instantly, revealing a smile as bright as the sun.

"Hikigaya-kun, please give me your guidance~"

Sure enough... the girl in front of him didn't think too much, she just simply wanted to be a 'real friend' with him. Hikigaya's face was tense, because he had just had one of the three major illusions in life: 'thinking that the other person liked him'. Thinking of this, Hikigaya couldn't help but feel relieved that he didn't repeat the same dark history in junior high school!

Because he got along well with the other person, he mistakenly thought that the other person liked him, and then Hikigaya decisively confessed his feelings, and then received the 'good guy card'. Even when he thought about it a little bit, Hikigaya almost couldn't hold it in. It was so, so embarrassing!

Hikigaya looked at the girl opposite him with a joyful face. Yes, how could such a gentle, kind, strong and independent girl fall in love with a lonely boy with dead eyes like him?

Hahaha… Just because she was gentle, I thought I had everything. In fact, I should have known long ago that a gentle girl is gentle to everyone, but I mistakenly thought she was only gentle to me…

Hikigaya, you are just wishful thinking!

Chapter 74 Sakura Airi wants to take the first step.

"Shiina-san, I..."

Hikigaya opened his mouth and immediately noticed the dissatisfied expression of the girl opposite him, so he quickly changed the subject: "Well, um, Hiyori, I have a question for you."

"Ok?"

The girl tilted her head and looked at the boy in confusion, and the boy stammered.

"Uh...were you some powerful bad girl in the past?"

Thinking of Ishizaki, Ibuki and others who had just been tamed, Hikigaya had this question at the time. After all, only magic can defeat magic, and a stand can defeat a stand. Guys like Ishizaki and Ibuki who can hang out with Ryuuen don't look like obedient students at all.

Unless it's a pursuit relationship between a man and a woman like the one between Kushida and the Idiot Trio, it seems that Ishizaki, Yamawaki and others have no such thoughts about Hiyori. It's more like a kind of respect and admiration from the bottom of their hearts?

Hiyori seemed to be remembering what had just happened. Her face flushed red at a visible speed, and her eyes avoided her: "You, what are you talking about! I...how could I have been a bad girl before!"

"It seems so."

Hikigaya couldn't help but feel ridiculous for asking such a stupid question.

How could this gentle, literary girl in front of me be a delinquent? This is too magical, or maybe Hikigaya simply can't imagine what a delinquent girl like Hiyori would look like with dyed blonde hair, tanned skin, earrings, and wearing a special attack uniform. Huh... why did I start imagining it myself?

Hiyori couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Hikigaya didn't continue asking questions.

"By the way, Hiyori, why are you here?"

It was only then that Hikigaya realized the problem. It was already late, and the path near the dormitory was sparsely populated and remote. Normally, no one would pass by, let alone notice what was happening inside.

"I just came back from the convenience store and ran into a girl from your D class. She said you were taken away by a classmate from our class."

Hiyori explained.

Hikigaya also noticed that Hiyori was holding a convenience store plastic bag.

"We're Class D? Girls?"

Although he understood both words, putting them together made Hikigaya confused. Not only did he have no friends in his class, let alone female friends.

"Ah! There she is!"

As soon as he came out of the dim path, Hiyori saw a girl hiding in a dark corner not far away, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold the girl's hand.

"Sakura?"

Hikigaya looked at the girl in front of him in astonishment. He never thought that the 'D class girl' Hiyori mentioned would actually be Sakura?!

When Sakura heard Hikigaya's call, she immediately hid behind Hiyori like a frightened cat, not daring to look at Hikigaya at all.

Although Hiyori was a little surprised by Sakura's behavior, she still patted Sakura's back to comfort her.

"Sakura, thank you."

Hikigaya stepped forward and bowed solemnly to express his gratitude to Sakura who was hiding behind Hiyori. For an ostrich girl with severe social anxiety, the courage to do this was enough for Hikigaya to express his solemn gratitude to her, and at the same time, he also felt the other party's deep kindness.

"No, it's okay."

Sakura cautiously poked her head out from behind Hiyori, her face slightly red, lowered her head, and whispered: "Hikigaya-kun, I'm glad you're okay."

Just a few words seemed to have drained all the strength from the girl, but it was precisely because of this that Hikigaya could feel the courage and determination of the girl in front of him, which was so admirable.

Sakura took a few deep breaths, as if mustering her last bit of courage, and looked up at Hikigaya's eyes. Although her voice was still trembling, it was indescribably firm: "Also...Also, there's also what happened last time. Thank...thank you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sakura's face turned red instantly like she was in a sauna, and then she quickly hid behind Hiyori and turned back into the ostrich.

Uh... why does this girl blush so easily? Does she have some genetic disorder? Should I remind her to get a physical checkup?

"What happened last time?"

Hikigaya was slightly surprised and began to recall his interactions with Sakura. It seemed that the time went back to about half a month ago, which was the day when Chabashira-sensei announced the truth about the school to everyone.
