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

Yaeko Nishimiya, who was submitting the documents, caught up with the two halfway through. In order not to disturb the mother and daughter's reunion, Hikigaya waved and prepared to leave first.

However, halfway there, he was stopped by Yaeko Nishimiya. Just as Hikigaya was wondering what she was going to do, a complicated expression suddenly appeared on Yaeko Nishimiya's face.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, I just encountered something strange."

"Strange thing?"

Sigh, could it be that some kind of paranormal event has occurred in the administration building?

Despite his name being similar to that of the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman, Hikigaya actually has very little resistance to so-called supernatural events.

Even when he was a child, he had experiences of not being able to sleep because he was afraid of the dark.

No, that seems to have gone a bit off-topic!

After confirmation, Yaeko Nishimiya did not encounter any terrifying supernatural events; she was simply puzzled by the attitude of the faculty and staff.

According to her description, when she went to the office to submit the form, the faculty and staff initially firmly stated that they could not accept her withdrawal of the transfer application.

Not long after, a mysterious phone call came in, which caused the staff's attitude to change completely, and even the board members came to the scene in person.

"Hachiman, do you have any leads on this matter?"

For some reason, Yaeko Nishimiya cast a scrutinizing gaze over him, and Hikigaya shook his head naturally, saying, "I don't know."

"So it turns out this time it wasn't unrelated to you? That makes sense, after all, even the board members showed up... Maybe the gods have been secretly protecting this child."

Nishimiya Shoko gently patted her head, and Nishimiya Yaeko thankfully attributed all these incomprehensible events to some ethereal deity.

"God?"

Nishimiya Shoko tilted her head and then looked at Hachiman.

No, why are you looking at me?

Hikigaya looked away guiltily.

but.

He wondered if gods truly existed in this world, otherwise he wouldn't be here.

Anyway, the transfer was over. Since it was almost time to go home, Yaeko Nishimiya planned to rest in the administration building for a while before picking up Shoko Nishimiya.

"Then let's go back first."

"Okay, see you later."

Nishimiya Yaeko waved to her daughter, and whether it was Hikigaya's imagination or not, he felt that there was a faint glimmer of expectation on the other's face.

Hikigaya and Nishimiya Shoko set off again on their way back to the classroom. A few minutes later, the two appeared side by side at the door of Class 3-A.

With the arrival of the two, the previously noisy classroom seemed to be silenced, and all the noise disappeared without a trace in a second.

Hey, what's going on here?

Before Hikigaya could even grasp the situation, Nijika rushed over from her seat, grabbed Nishimiya Shoko's hand, and said in an incredibly sincere tone:

"Glass-chan, you're finally back!"

"Hmm, oh, you're back."

Although she didn't understand what had happened in the class, Nishimiya Shoko maintained her gentle smile.

Then, Nijigasaki glared at Hachiman with a hint of reproach:

"Seriously, why did it take you so long to come back, Hachiman-kun? Didn't we agree to see Shoko-chan off together?"

"Excuse me, I had something to take care of just now... Wait a minute!"

Hachiman first honestly apologized, and then began to think about how to explain to Nijika that the transfer had been canceled. But just then, a beautifully packaged gift box was taken out.

Oops!

Seeing this, Hachiman's eyelids twitched.

"Shoko-chan, this is a gift that I, Hikigaya-kun, and Sosei-senpai prepared for you."

"Gift?"

Nishimiya Shoko repeated it in a soft, sweet voice, and Hachiman immediately started frantically giving Nijika meaningful glances from the side:

"Ichichi-kun, let's go inside first and talk. Besides, Mr. Kohachi is coming soon, so this isn't a good time."

"Sigh, but if we're going to give a gift, isn't now the only time?"

Before the two had finished speaking, the elementary school student next to them started to feel emotional on his own.

"Nishimiya-kun, I also feel very sorry for what Ishida did last time. I wish we could have stood up for you in time."

"Yes, although we haven't spoken much during this time, I know you are a very kind person."

"Nishimiya-kun, although I didn't prepare a gift for you, I will keep in touch with you often in the future!"

Such reflections and apologies kept coming from the classroom, and some people even cried in front of everyone. At this point, Hikigaya was not sure whether they were telling the truth. The problem now was that Nishimiya Shoko was no longer going to transfer schools!

So, which idiot leaked the information?

"Um, thank you everyone."

Nishimiya Shoko looked at everyone with a somewhat blank expression.

"Ahem, please stop! It's not like Nishimiya isn't going away after summer vacation."

"Hachiman, I really misjudged you! How could you say that!"

"That's right, you're so smart, you must have known about Nishimiya's transfer a long time ago!"

For some reason, a wave of criticism against Hideya suddenly arose in the class, and a few boys, led by Zaimokuza, couldn't stand it and started arguing with them.

At this moment, Class 3A was like a giant hot pot, so lively that even students from the neighboring classes came over to eavesdrop, wanting to know what was going on inside.

Fortunately, Ms. Xiaoba appeared at the door in time. She stood on the podium and stopped the kids' pointless argument with just one sentence.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I have some news to announce."

Aside from Hikigaya and Nishimiya Shoko, everyone thought that Mr. Koba was there to announce that Nishimiya Shoko was about to transfer schools, so everyone held their breath and pricked up their ears.

Nishimiya Shoko herself returned to her seat with the gift, still not understanding what had happened.

"Ahem." Teacher Xiaoba deliberately cleared her throat, whetting everyone's appetite. "The final exams are over, and the next month or so is summer vacation, so please..."

The students below listened intently to the dry and boring instructions, and after the safety issues were explained, Teacher Xiaoba began to explain the important matters.

"Finally, there are two pieces of news. The first is that we will be reassigned to different classes next semester."

184 Flawed Gifts

Normally, Haneoka Elementary School changes the student composition of each class every academic year. This ensures that teaching resources can circulate throughout the grade and that students do not form overly rigid groups.

So, due to habitual thinking, no one expected the school to start class division two semesters in advance.

"Sigh, but only one semester has passed, how can this be!"

"Yes, Mr. Xiaoba, could you please talk to the school about this?"

"Hmm, I don't want to be separated from Xiaomei so soon."

Whether it was because they were nostalgic for the newly formed relationships with their neighbors or simply because they were dissatisfied with the decision to assign classes early, the students immediately protested.

Of course, since this was the school's decision, no matter how much they objected, it would be to no avail.

"The class assignments are set by the school, so we can't meet everyone's requirements."

"why is it like this."

For a moment, the classroom was filled with dejected voices. Ms. Xiao ignored the commotion and went straight to the point:

"Now, I'd like to announce the second piece of news. As you all know, I was originally a nursing teacher, but I've become your homeroom teacher this semester due to special circumstances."

At this point, Mr. Koba gave Hachiman a long look, and the latter felt a tightness in his chest, as if he had already guessed what the other party was about to say.

"Therefore, I will no longer serve as your homeroom teacher in the second semester. I hope you can get along well with your new teacher."

"Is Mr. Xiaoba leaving too?"

"Sigh, why is it like this? Only Teacher Xiaoba doesn't go overtime!"

"Teacher, is there any other news besides this?"

Amidst the cacophony of voices, Hongxia raised her hand, looking slightly troubled.

"Other news? Oh, right!"

As if remembering something important, Mr. Koba rested his chin on his hand and looked at Hachiman with a mischievous glint in his eyes:

"The teacher suspects that someone is maliciously spreading rumors in the class that a classmate has transferred schools, so if anyone knows who is spreading the rumors, please come to the office and tell me."

No, saying it's maliciously spreading rumors is going too far!

Hachiman silently muttered a complaint to himself.

but.

He then nodded gratefully to Mr. Koba, since it would be troublesome if he were to explain, and this way the kids would understand that Nishimiya Shoko would not be transferring schools for the time being.

The classroom suddenly fell silent, followed by a heated argument among the students.

"Sigh, it was just a rumor?"

"You're kidding, aren't you? But isn't Nishimiya already organizing her contact list?"

The people below were still somewhat incredulous, after all, Nishimiya Shoko's behavior these past few days had been far too strange, as if she already knew she was about to leave, and she gave off a very dejected feeling.

Seeing this, Hachiman couldn't help but steer the conversation in:

"You bunch of idiots, can't you use your brains? Nishimiya clearly stated that she wanted to leave, didn't she?"

"Ah, that's true..."

"That's the truth, so stop saying such nonsensical things. Nishimiya-kun won't leave."

"Is that so, Nishimiya-kun?"

The students around Nishimiya Shoko asked curiously, but she didn't know how to answer and could only nod cautiously.

Ah, that's great!

He thought that Nishimiya Shoko might accidentally reveal that he had tampered with things here, and if that happened, he would be bothered by these elementary school students again. Just thinking about it made Hikigaya nervous to death.

However, it doesn't really matter to the others; the most important thing is Ijichi's side.

I glanced discreetly at where Hongxia was, and saw that she seemed to be looking in the same direction as me. Our eyes met across the distance.

He turned his attention away for the moment and sat obediently in his seat, waiting for school to end.

Soon, in this strange atmosphere, Hachiman ushered in his second summer vacation in the third grade of elementary school.

When the school bell rang, he packed his schoolbag and waited until almost everyone had left before slowly leaving the classroom.

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Um, Hachiman, what exactly is going on?"

"Well, it's a bit complicated to explain, but basically Nishimiya-san withdrew her transfer application." Hachiman scratched his head. "So all those gifts I prepared might have to go to waste. Sorry."

Although, to some extent, it would have been more in line with Nijika's wishes for Nishimiya Shoko to stay in Haneoka.

However, since he did this on his own initiative without communicating with the other party at all, it is only natural that he should be blamed.

"No, I didn't mean to blame Hachiman-kun." Nijika shook her head. "Oh, I see. It was Hachiman-kun again. He's amazing!"

His wine-red eyes sparkled like stars; it seemed this guy had misunderstood something again.

"Wait a minute, I didn't do anything, so don't misunderstand."

"here we go again!"

Nijika patted Hachiman's shoulder with a grin.

"But that's great, because Shoko-chan can stay. That means we have three more years to spend together."

Hachiman thought for a moment, then turned his face away:

"It's more than three years, isn't it?"
