Crossover anime, Hachiman's childhood friend's growth diary

"I won't say anything else, but could you please explain why you don't want to return to the Literature Department?"

"Why go back? Everyone else has already left."

Perhaps overwhelmed by Hachiman's aura, Tachibana spoke haltingly.

"Senior doesn't want to come back, is it really because of the accident last time?"

"Let's get this straight, I don't really care about that matter, but I find the Literature Department too boring right now. We have to stay in the classroom all day. I'd rather go outside and play soccer to realize my talent!"

No, does this kid even know what he's saying?

Hachiman's toes sank to the ground as he tried his best not to laugh: "So that's how it is. By the way, Tachibana-senpai, this soccer ball of yours looks like it's been used for quite a while now, hasn't it?"

Ju subconsciously hid the soccer ball she was holding behind her back. In fact, the soccer ball had been used for two years, and the air hole area had peeled off a layer of skin, and the exterior was tattered.

"Yeah, so what? It's none of your business."

"No, no, I just think it's a pity, since your skills are so good."

"What? You've seen me play football?"

Ju seemed somewhat surprised.

"Of course not," Hachiman blinked, his face expressionless as he began to lie, "Yeah, I saw it before, it was super amazing!"

"Hahaha, I am the future Shinji Kagawa!"

Hachiman broke out in a cold sweat. He had once dreamed of becoming a world-renowned superstar, but he soon discovered that the dark goblin cave was where he truly belonged.

"As expected of Senior Tachibana, the new soccer ball definitely feels different when you kick it. If we could have a new soccer ball for training, Senior might be able to become a regular member of the soccer club."

"Nonsense, if I had the money I would have bought it already!"

Ju only has this much pocket money each month, and she usually buys snacks and drinks, so she can't save any money to buy new balls.

Seeing that Tachibana had finally taken the bait, Hachiman said, "Tachibana-senpai, actually, as long as you go back to the Literature Club, you'll be able to get a new ball very quickly."

"Where is the football team in the Literature Department?"

Although Ju's grades weren't good, he wasn't stupid. The Literature Club did have a lot of activity funds, but why would they use them to buy a new ball for him alone?

Hachiman looked around suspiciously and said in a low voice, "Normally it's impossible, but the Literature Club is going to hold a writing competition in the next few days, and the winner will get a new soccer ball."

"Are you serious?" Ju seemed somewhat tempted.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Ichinose-kun."

Ju looked at Su Shi, who was unaware of the truth.

Sigh, the competition, how come she didn't know?

However, as clever as Su Shi was, she had already realized that Hikigaya must have a feasible plan in mind, so she had to cooperate with him.

"Yes, Tachibana-kun, I guarantee it in the name of the club president."

Upon hearing this, Ju was immediately caught in a huge dilemma: "Wait, but my Mandarin is terrible. Even if I participate, I won't be able to get a ranking!"

Hachiman raised the corners of his mouth and patted his shoulder meaningfully: "It's okay, Tachibana-senpai, think carefully about how many people are in the club right now?"

"One, two, just two!" Ju counted on her fingers, her eyes sparkling. "Even if you include me, there are only three people. Doesn't that guarantee a top-three finish?"

Tachibana laughed, and Hachiman laughed along with her.

three people?

He didn't say that; it was just Ju's wishful thinking. However, he would never shoot himself in the foot here.

"As expected of you, Senior Ju."

"Great! Ichinose-san, is it too late for me to write my club application now?"

Having witnessed the whole process, Su Shi was somewhat dazed. She never imagined that Ju, who had previously refused to come back no matter what, would now be so proactive.

"Hello, President..."

Seeing this, Hachiman nudged the dazed Sose with his elbow, and the latter finally snapped out of her reverie: "There's still time, as long as Tachibana submits the application before next week..."

He was interrupted again by Hikigaya halfway through his sentence: "Tachibana-senpai, actually the deadline for registering for the writing competition is tonight."

At the same time, he thoughtfully handed over a blank application form for joining the department.

"So, could you please submit your application today?"

017 Hachiman became a monster

After settling things off with Tachibana, Hachiman obtained four more applications to join the club in the same way, thus increasing the number of members in the Literature Club from two to seven.

It can be said to be a great harvest.

"But is it really okay to do this?" Su Shi asked anxiously, holding everyone's application forms.

"For example?" Hachiman asked rhetorically.

"Hachigaya, our club's budget can't afford to buy so many prizes all at once."

Although Su Shi was happy that the club had added five new members, the activity funds were limited, and they had already used some of them this month. At the moment, they could only afford to buy the prize for the first place winner.

“That’s simple.” Hachiman smiled knowingly. “Just make sure the prizes are awarded in order of ranking. The first place winner will receive their prize in the same month, and the prizes for the next few winners will be awarded in turn. As for the judging process, just make something up.”

"So that's it."

Su Shi once again marveled at the depth of Hikigaya's schemes.

Hikigaya thought that Suze was quite tactful, at least she didn't explicitly object to his unilateral action, and she was also very comprehension-oriented. He had only given her a few instructions, and Suze had already arranged all the subsequent actions.

Well, if this operation can help Su Shi become more independent sooner, it would be quite worthwhile.

"Ichinose-san, could you please go to the student council later and give these club application forms to President Horihara?"

Hachiman's energy bar is almost depleted for the day, and he can't wait to go home and replenish his sister's energy.

"No problem, Hachiman, thank you for your hard work today."

"It's nothing, I'll be going now."

After saying that, Hachiman picked up his schoolbag without hesitation and left the school.

Su Shi returned to the Literature Department and sorted out the applications in her hands. When she delivered the five applications to the Student Council office, she suddenly noticed an unprecedented look of surprise on President Fang Hu's face.

"Excuse me, is there something wrong with these applications?" Su Shi asked with concern.

"No, not at all. It's just that your actions were faster than I expected. I originally thought it would take at least until next week..." Hibari Hara shook his head. "No, you did a great job."

"Actually, it's all thanks to Hachiman," Sose confessed frankly. "He's the one who got the five old members to change their minds."

"I see." Hibari stroked his chin. "Ichinose-san, could you please pass on a message to Hachiman-san for me?"

"Yes, please go ahead, President."

"We've said that the student council needs someone like him, and we hope that Hikigaya will consider joining the student council."

Upon hearing this, Su Shi opened her mouth in surprise.

Does this mean that Chairman Hohara has acknowledged Hikigaya's talent?

After all, in her opinion, joining the student council was an incredible thing, and Hachiman received the invitation from the student council in just one day.

"Okay, I'll pass it on to Hachiman."

After bowing to Hibari Hara, Su Shi left the student council office. She was in a good mood, and even her steps were lighter.

A moment later, she arrived home.

"I'm back..."

Su Shi felt a little strange; this was the first time she had found that she didn't feel so lonely when she got home.

In the pitch-black room, Su Shi carefully fumbled for the light switch. With a click, the old incandescent bulb flickered for a few seconds before slowly illuminating the entire room.

Looking ahead, there was a small note and a meal wrapped in plastic wrap on the dining table. The note read, "Su Shi, I'll be back a little late tonight. Make sure you eat well tonight!"

It looks like Mom and Dad will be home very late again today.

Her originally perfect mood has now slightly declined. After casually having dinner, with nothing else to do, Su Shi took out a picture book from her schoolbag, picked up a paintbrush, and began to draw aimlessly.

The paintbrush brought her thoughts to life. At first, Su Shi didn't feel anything, but after about ten minutes, she suddenly realized something was wrong and blushed as she tore off the latest page.

Looking at the contents of the drawing, Su Shi's heart was pounding incredibly fast. However, the ten-year-old girl could not yet understand what the complex emotions in her heart meant.

She unilaterally defined it as pure friendship.

Unfortunately, Hachiman hasn't accepted himself yet, nor is he willing to be friends with him.

However, it wasn't a big problem. She had already made up her mind to become Hikigaya's first friend before fifth grade.

"Ah, but it seems that President Hohara is also interested in Hikigaya. We can't let her beat us to it."

Unbeknownst to her, Su Shi had already turned Fang Huyuan into her imagined enemy, and she gripped the paintbrush with even more force.

...

The next day, when Hachiman came to school, he learned from Motoyo that he had become a target for the student council's invitation, and his answer was naturally no!

Oysters, absolutely oysters!

There is no room for negotiation. Even if the student council president himself came to invite him, he would refuse without hesitation, let alone ask someone to pass on a message.

Being targeted by the student council is already quite troublesome. It's a bit better in elementary school, but if it happens in junior or senior high school, it will definitely cause a sensation in the class.

What? He wants to be a student council officer? Does this guy have some dirt on the student council?

Hikigaya could almost hear the sounds of his classmates discussing things.

From any perspective, the student council is a harmful entity for someone who longs for a peaceful life, so it is necessary to correct Hibari's thinking.

While deep in thought, Hikigaya suddenly felt a chill on the back of his hand. Looking up, he saw that it was Ishida Shoya playing with snot.

Naoka Ueno, standing to the side, curled her lip and said with some disdain, "Hey Ishida, how come you've become a monster like Hitori-ya too?"

Hey, what's this "Hitori Valley Monster"? Is it some kind of nickname for the Snot Monster?

Ishida Shoya sneezed, making an unpleasant sniffling sound: "Sorry, I overdid it with the fan yesterday, so my nose was full of Hitori when I woke up this morning!"

Those guys over there, that's enough.

Hachiman watched the elementary school kids fooling around with a bit of helplessness, rolling his eyes inwardly. However, if he went over to stop them now, it would only make them more enthusiastic, so he decisively chose to ignore them.

Just as Hachiman was about to take a nap, something happened in his class that bothered him greatly.

018 Teacher Scum

Even though the next period wasn't music class, Ms. Kita walked into the classroom, with the homeroom teacher, Takeuchi, following behind her expressionlessly. He tapped the blackboard and began to restore order.

"The morning meeting is about to begin, everyone please return to your seats."

"Tch, boring bespectacled guy."

Naoka Ueno casually complained, and her voice reached Takeuchi's ears. He immediately straightened his face and sternly reprimanded her, "Ueno, you're not allowed to give the teacher a nickname. It's immoral!"

Startled, Naoka Ueno immediately lowered her head and obediently returned to her seat.

"Takeuchi-sensei is in a really bad mood today."

"Ueno was just joking, why are you being so fierce?"

The students frowned and whispered among themselves.

For some reason, Hikigaya sensed a strange disharmony about Takeuchi.

Normally, given Takeuchi's style, he wouldn't care about such things, much less use moral terms to pressure people. Thinking about this, Hikigaya glanced at Kita-sensei at the door.

Ah, I see. You wanted to maintain your authority in front of the other teachers.

Hikigaya sat in the last row, resting his chin on his hand, wondering what interesting things Kita and Takeuchi would bring next.

After everyone quieted down, Takeuchi adjusted his glasses and gestured to Kita-sensei next to him that they could begin.

"Dear students, I would like to take three minutes from the morning meeting to teach you sign language."

Upon hearing this, Hikigaya, who had originally planned to watch the show, suddenly had a bad feeling.

I don't know who came up with this idea, but Hachiman thinks it's incredibly stupid to suggest teaching everyone sign language at this time.

Indeed, Nishimiya Shoko's situation is very pitiful, and it is understandable that Kita-sensei wants to help disadvantaged students by learning sign language. However, the problem is that Nishimiya Shoko is holding back in the practice for the choir competition. Many people already had some complaints, but due to her situation, they only talked about it privately.
