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

It must be because of her charm!

Thinking of this, Banami saw Anzu gradually reveal a smug expression, her mouth stretching all the way to her ears.

"Hey, why are you laughing so disgustingly?"

"Okay, okay, if you want to go home with me, just say so. Why beat around the bush?"

No, that's not how it works...

What annoyed Hachiman the most was that he really couldn't refute it for the time being. Oh well, let Hachiman be arrogant for a while, and we'll talk about it after the intruder is caught.

Let's go home together after 249.

"Anyway, it's not what you think. It's almost time. Banami-kun, could you please wait for me at the school gate for a bit? I'll go downstairs to pick up Komachi."

Hachiman put his hands in his pockets, regaining control of the conversation, which made him feel a little more at ease.

Upon hearing this, Banami Anna pouted, then shook her head as if she couldn't bear it, letting out three rhythmic sighs.

What's going on? Is this some kind of bizarre prayer ritual?

"Hachiman is just as Nijika-chan described..."

After expressing her feelings, Anna Hanami murmured as if talking to herself, but unfortunately, the volume was just loud enough for Hikigaya to hear, so he was sure that Anna Hanami was doing it on purpose.

"what?"

Pretending not to hear, Hachiman planned to get away with it.

Unfortunately, Anna Hanami offered her own explanation: "I'm just talking about Hachiman's style of doing things. Honestly, I really can't understand why Hachiman always does such pointless things."

Dead memories began to resurface. Hachiman remembered these words very clearly, as if he had heard them from someone else not long ago.

Hmm, has his reputation in the new class gotten so bad that it's gotten this bad?

"Heh, then tell me, where is it meaningless?" Hachiman deliberately changed the subject. "Are you suggesting that Komachi should go home alone?"

Anna looked over with a pout: "When did I say such a thing? What I meant was, why don't we both go and find Komachi together?"

Hachiman, who was just about to unleash his full power, suddenly deflated: "No, isn't that kind of thing a bit inappropriate... Okay, I understand. I'll pack my things first."

"OK, I also need to pack my schoolbag."

Hikigaya abandoned his plan to go find Komachi alone and instead went downstairs with Anna Hachimi. After picking up Komachi, the three of them walked towards the school gate.

The four o'clock sun was shining brightly, like a ferocious wild beast, frightening the three of them into hastily hiding in the shadows on both sides of the road.

"Oh no, it's so hot! It's almost September, why is the temperature still so high?"

Without any restraint, Hanami Anzu stuck out her tongue, panting incessantly like a dachshund that had been walked for ten kilometers.

That makes sense. Temperatures usually drop by mid-September, gradually ushering in autumn. This summer has been unusually stubborn.

"It should cool down by October."

Hachiman replied absentmindedly, when suddenly he felt someone poke his arm. He turned around and saw Komachi holding his hand: "Hey Onii-chan, is Anzu-neechan's house really close to us?"

"I don't know, you should ask her yourself."

Hachiman quickly passed the buck back to Anna Hachiman, who gave a harmless smile and replied softly, "Oh, right, but I'm staying at my uncle's house now, so I can't stay with you until the end."

"No, no, no, in the end, our homes aren't that close."

Hachiman complained from the side, and almost at the same time, Bana saw Anna's displeased gaze and glared at her, as if to say, "Try talking back again if you dare."

What's wrong with you? Why are you being so fierce? You might never get married...

Upon hearing this, Komachi clapped her hands happily: "That's great! After Anja-nee moves back home, will we be able to go home together more often?"

"Normally there shouldn't be any problem."

I wonder if this siscon would want anyone to disturb their time together. Anzu secretly cast a confirming glance at Hikigaya.

"Komachi, isn't it enough that Onii-chan is going to take you home? You'll regret it if you're a child who's never satisfied."

Hikigaya spoke earnestly, but Komachi didn't care at all. She let go of his hand and took small steps to Hanami Anna's side.

"Hmph, I'm going home with Anja-neechan!"

At that moment, those present seemed to hear the sound of hearts breaking.

Damn it, what is it about that woman that I don't?!

You evil brat, Banami, I'll take care of things here...!

"Um, Hachiman, could you please stop looking at me like that..."

Under the resentful gaze of Hikigaya, Anna Hanami sighed helplessly.

"Kyoko-neechan, let's ignore Onii-chan!"

"Haha, Komachi, let's talk about going home later."

"Um, okay."

Over the next few days, the three chatted about the trivial things that had happened in the past few days. When they passed a certain intersection, Bana saw Anja stop and wave goodbye to the two of them.

"Then I'll go through it once. Hachiman, Komachi, see you tomorrow."

"Oh."

"Bye~"

Back home, Hachiman turned on the air conditioner immediately. Once the room was cool enough, he took a bottle of MAX coffee from the refrigerator and started drinking it.

"Komachi, don't come into my room yet. Onii-chan didn't sleep well yesterday, so he's planning to take a nap."

"Huh? But it's already four o'clock." Komachi looked surprised. "And wasn't Onii-chan quite energetic this afternoon?"

"Kids shouldn't meddle in adults' affairs."

"Tch, Onii-chan is only two years older than me!"

Komachi complained, then stuck out her pink tongue and ran into her room.

After seeing Komachi off, Hikigaya silently returned to his bedroom.

He slept very well last night, so he had no intention of taking a nap. He only said this to Komachi to create the impression that he had something to do and did not want to be disturbed.

As soon as he stepped into his room, Hachiman took out his phone and dialed someone's number.

With a "beep," the call was quickly connected.

"Hey, this is Saito."

A lazy voice came from the other end, sounding like someone had just woken up. Hachiman glanced at the time, confirming it was past four in the afternoon, before speaking:

"Excuse me, I'm Hikigaya. President Saito, are you available now?"

"Oh, sorry, I was sleeping just now."

Next came a series of strange sounds, and Hikigaya vaguely heard a woman's voice coming from beside Ichigo Saito.

"Kyoko, I'm going to make a call. You can go back to sleep." A few seconds later, Ichigo Saito spoke into the receiver again, "Okay, what's up?"

Hikigaya cut to the chase: "I'd like to ask, President Saito, how exactly did you handle that fake agency from last time?"

Seemingly surprised by his question, Saito Ichigo paused for a moment before answering, "Ah, you mean that bastard who impersonated us and swindled people? We didn't really deal with him, we just sued him into bankruptcy, right?"

250 I'm just investigating

After learning that someone was using the Strawberry PRO name to swindle people, Ichigo Saito contacted the best law firm in Tokyo, and with the help of Hachiman Hikigaya, he caught the executives of the fake company.

With such evidence, the firm naturally could not escape being liquidated.

Thanks to sufficient evidence and Saito Ichigo's use of his connections in the industry, the case was quickly resolved, and Strawberry PRO received a substantial compensation.

After spending some time together, Hikigaya understood Ichigo Saito's personality. He wasn't the kind of person who would show mercy, so it was within his expectations to sue him into bankruptcy.

It's more accurate to say that bankruptcy is actually a bargain for the other party. I thought that with Saito Ichigo's methods, he would definitely send Koenji and his group to prison.

of course.

Hikigaya doesn't understand the backstabbing and intrigue between companies, let alone the penalties for impersonation and fraud. Perhaps suing the other party into bankruptcy would be the best outcome he could hope for.

The most important thing now is to confirm whether Koenji is the intruder.

Hikigaya raised his question, while Saito Ichigo's helpless voice came through the microphone: "Sigh, although that guy is very crude in hiding his fraud, he has studied the law a lot. Getting him to cough up the money is already our limit."

"I see. Do you know what that talent scout, Mr. Koenji, is up to now?"

"Don't call him a talent scout anymore, that guy is just a shameless fraudster."

Saito Ichigo disdains mentioning Koenji's name. In his view, Koenji's existence is a disgrace to their industry, not only damaging their company's interests but also affecting the reputation of the entire industry.

"Feel sorry."

"No, you don't need to apologize... By the way, Hachiman, why are you paying attention to this?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to know what happened next."

Upon hearing this, Saito Ichigo, though somewhat skeptical, still frankly expressed his opinion: "I really don't know much about that guy, but based on my estimation, after the company goes bankrupt, he definitely won't be working honestly. He'll probably be hiding there, plotting some bad ideas."

The saying goes, "A leopard can't change its spots," and people who make their fortune through fraud will never give up such methods so easily.

However, because Ichigo Saito used tremendous power this time, it would be difficult for him to make a comeback in the entertainment industry no matter what he did, so I didn't pay much attention to his subsequent situation.

"So you're not clear about the other party's situation either?"

"That's right... What, that guy isn't going to cause you any trouble, is he? Hachiman, you have to be tough with that kind of bastard, otherwise he'll stick to you like a leech."

Saito Ichigo patiently shared his experience with Hikigaya.

In his view, it is necessary to strike hard against these fraudsters who are cowardly and opportunistic; otherwise, dragging things out will only waste one's time.

"No, he didn't do that to me..."

While exchanging information with Ichigo Saito, a bad thought suddenly arose in Hikigaya's mind.

So, Koenji's trouble with Anna Hanami wasn't for money, but perhaps to get revenge on himself?

No, no, no, this isn't a movie. Why would the other party do something so thankless?

and.

If you're going to cause trouble, just go to their door. In their eyes, you're just a nine-year-old kid, and you can't possibly pose a threat to them in terms of force.

Excluding the possibility that Koenji is deliberately causing trouble, based on the information gathered so far, Hikigaya can conceive of two possibilities.

First, Hikigaya made a mistake; the culprit was not actually Koenji.

Secondly, while it's true that the culprit is Koenji, finding Anna Hachimi was purely coincidental.

Without more in-depth information, Hachiman is unable to make a judgment at the moment.

"President Saito, if you have any information about Mr. Koenji's whereabouts, could you please let me know?"

"Something must have happened, right?"

"Um..."

Hikigaya did not deny it, but he also did not intend to tell her about the intrusion into Anna Hanami's house.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

"No need, I'll handle it."

"Okay, anyway, feel free to contact me anytime if anything comes up. Because of work, my phone is always on."

"Thank you."

The concern from Ichigo Saito warmed Hikigaya's heart. Although the two were not very familiar with each other, they had a kind of unspoken understanding.

After hanging up the phone, the chirping of cicadas outside the window was somewhat irritating. To calm his restless heart, Hachiman lay on the bed and openly started watching short videos.

however.

With a click, the unlocked door was pushed open.

"Onii-chan, what's that? Why do you have a cell phone?!"

Looking at Komachi at the door, Hachiman quickly hid his phone under the covers: "Komachi, why didn't you knock before coming in?"

Komachi blinked: "Because Komachi didn't want to disturb Onii-chan's sleep... But let's not talk about that. Onii-chan, what's going on with that phone? You didn't secretly do something bad behind Mom and Dad's back, did you?"
