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

"Hmph, just seeing that guy's face annoys me to death," Naoka Ueno said disdainfully, sitting on the table.

But this time.

"Wow."

Upon hearing the sound of the front door opening, the entire classroom fell silent.

Ishida Shoya stiffly turned his head to look, and when he saw that it was Nishimiya Shoko who had entered, his heart instantly relaxed, and he let out a long breath.

"You scared me to death! It was Nishimiya."

"If Bi Qiku comes in, would you apologize to him?"

The chubby boy next to him, Hirose Keisuke, was also a little nervous. To cover up his panic, he made a sarcastic remark.

"How could that be? It was his fault to begin with!"

At that moment, Nishimiya Shoko, who hadn't noticed anything, walked towards Ishida Shoya. Holding a notebook, she wrote: "What are you talking about? You seem quite happy."

For some reason, Ishida Shoya looked away guiltily, and the others also lowered their heads, as if they had done something wrong.

Nishimiya Shoko tilted her head in confusion, then looked up. The writing on the blackboard came into view. The girl was taken aback for a moment, then said in a serious tone, "Why, why do you say that, Hikigaya-kun!"

“We didn’t say anything wrong!” Ishida Shoya scoffed. “It’s because of that guy that we failed in this year’s choir competition!”

"no!"

Nishimiya Shoko shook her head frantically, trying to deny Ishida Masaya's opinion.

"Then tell me whose fault it is! Everyone was training so hard!" Ishida Shouya questioned loudly.

Hearing this, Nishimiya Shoko clutched her chest in anguish. In truth, she knew best who was the one truly dragging the class down.

It wasn't Hachiman, but herself.

"No, it's Hikigaya-kun."

"Tsk, Nishimiya, are you blind too, or is your hearing impaired?" Nishimiya Shoko's unusually tough attitude made Ishida Shouya very unhappy. "Ah... I almost forgot, Nishimiya, you're just a useless burden like Hachiman!"

"I..."

Tears welled up in her eyes; Nishimiya Shoko had felt extremely guilty ever since the choir competition.

If she had withdrawn from the choir in the first place, Hachiman wouldn't have said those things, and people wouldn't dislike her so much.

It was all her fault, and Nishimiya Shoko realized this deeply.

"I'm sorry, it was all my fault!"

027 Mischievous Elementary School Students

Hachiman lingered in the cafeteria for a long time, and by the time he returned to the classroom, the writing on the blackboard had already been erased.

Nishimiya Shoko sat there, looking uneasy. Hachiman seemed to sense what was happening, but since he had no friends, no one was willing to come over and share what had happened at noon with him.

For the next period of time, apart from helping Ichinose-kun with food tasting every few days, his life remained basically the same as before.

No, why hasn't anything changed?

Hikigaya suddenly felt something was amiss during class.

Aside from some harmless snide remarks and chair removal during the choir competition, Hachiman has not encountered any serious pranks so far. His desk is spotless, no one has graffitied on it, and there are no strange things appearing in his shoe cabinet.

He had been on guard all along.

Well, Hachiman is certainly not a masochist, but given his current situation, it's really puzzling how smoothly things are going for him.

Meanwhile, he was also keeping an eye on Nishimiya Shoko. The people in her class were still indifferent to her... or rather, they tended to ignore her. Only Nijika would still go to play with her, while the other students acted as if she didn't exist.

This situation was somewhat within Hikigaya's expectations. He had no way or ability to help Nishimiya Shoko become popular, since he himself couldn't do it.

however.

The way Ishida Shoya and his group treated Nishimiya Shoko made him feel vaguely uneasy.

"Giao!"

One afternoon, everyone was listening quietly to the lesson when a sudden shout woke everyone up. Hachiman, who was studying on his own, was also startled.

He glanced over and saw Ishida Shoya grinning as he held a rolled-up textbook; the voice he'd just heard had come from him.

Looking ahead, Nishimiya Shoko covered her ears in discomfort, the stinging pain in her right ear making her tremble.

"Ishida, class is in session, no fooling around!" Takeuchi said casually, and continued the lesson, ignoring Ishida's bad behavior.

"I knew it, this guy could hear me."

Hikigaya frowned immediately after overhearing Ishida Shoya's whispered conversation with his deskmate.

During the break between classes, Hikigaya kept an eye on Ishida Shoya's movements. He saw the guy walk through the gaps between rows of seats and take off Nishimiya Shoko's hearing aid right in front of her.

"Wait a moment..."

Before Hachiman could even utter a sound, he saw the other person throw the hearing aid out the window.

"What are you doing!"

Hongxia was the first to stand up and criticize Ishida Shoya's actions as wrong, but no one in the class supported her anymore.

Everyone seemed to have tacitly accepted Ishida Shoya's actions.

Hikigaya felt a suffocating sense of oppression and terror for a moment.

He always thought adults were the most annoying, but he never expected that elementary school students could be so awful.

This time, however, Hachiman did not take any rash action. Instead, he silently left the classroom and went to a place he least wanted to go.

teacher's office.

“Teacher Takeuchi.” Hikigaya saw Takeuchi filling out a form.

"What is it, Hikigaya?" Takeuchi did not put down his pen as he watched Hikigaya approach.

He didn't like Hachiman, finding the boy somewhat gloomy and very disobedient, doing things his own way, making him the type of student he disliked the most.

Similarly, Hachiman didn't want to deal with this scumbag teacher, but sometimes he needed to rely on the help of adults.

"Teacher Takeuchi, don't you think there's something wrong with what Ishida did?" he asked tentatively in a low voice.

However, Takeuchi still didn't take him seriously, coldly pushing up his glasses: "It's just kids playing around, but Ishida has really gone too far these past few days. I'll have a good talk with him."

The "excessive" part here probably refers to his disruptive behavior in class. Hachiman knows that Takeuchi isn't interested in how his students interact, but he doesn't allow anyone to challenge his authority.

"Could you please explain what you mean by 'excessive', Mr. Takeuchi?"

"Tsk." Takeuchi clicked his tongue in disdain, then suddenly changed the subject, "Hachigaya, you have no shame to say that, do you? Don't think that the teacher doesn't know that you often daydream in class. In some ways, you and Ishida are doing the same thing."

Hachiman squinted, sighing resentfully. It seemed he couldn't count on this guy.

...

After school, Hikigaya avoided the students' sight and walked to the flower bed directly below Class 3-A.

He searched inside for more than ten minutes and finally found a broken hearing aid. He clutched it tightly in his hand, and Hachiman felt an inexplicable anger.

To prevent the situation from escalating further, he decided to use his own methods.

"Hikigaya-kun!"

Hearing the voices behind him, Hachiman quickly stuffed his hearing aid into his pocket and walked in the opposite direction.

"Ah, don't run away!"

Then, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. It was a strong sense of déjà vu; Hachiman seemed to have seen this scene before, back when school started.

Hikigaya turned around and asked, "Ijichi-kun, what can I do for you?"

Hearing this distant tone, Hongxia was momentarily at a loss.

That's true, after all, in a sense, the two have completely "broken off" their relationship.

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and I've finally figured it out: I'm actually not ugly at all!"

"what?"

Hikigaya was completely stunned.

"It's what you said in class before. I asked a lot of people, and they all said I'm not ugly and actually quite cute!"

Hongxia said proudly, puffing out her chest.

Hachiman looked her up and down. Well, she was indeed very cute. But the point was this: wouldn't a normal person get angry if they were scolded like that?

"Haha, I really don't understand what Ijichi-kun means."

"What I mean is, Hachiman is lying!" Nijika's cheeks puffed out like a hamster's. "Tell me, why would Hachiman lie to me!"

"Do not..."

This child is far too naive!

Nijigasaki's peculiar thought process stunned him, but explaining at this moment would be particularly troublesome. After a second of silence, Hachiman spoke again, "That's just other people's opinion, anyway, I think..."

Before he could finish speaking, Nijika suddenly hugged him tightly, gripping Hachiman's arm.

"Hey, what are you doing? Let go of me!"

"do not want!"

Hongxia secretly observed Hachiman's face. "Sure enough, Hachiman, you're blushing. My mom told me that boys don't blush when they think a girl is ugly, so you were lying again!"

I said to Hongxia's mom, what kind of strange knowledge are you feeding to a nine-year-old child?

"Never mind that for now, Ijichi-kun, let me go!"

"No! I won't let go until Hachiman admits he lied!"

The two, pressed tightly together, attracted more and more attention. Hachiman quickly said, "I know, I admit I lied. Ijichi-kun, please let go."

"Hehe, that's good."

Feeling the weight on his arm disappear, Hachiman immediately retreated: "If there's nothing else..."

Ah, another escape!

"Yes!" Nijika said firmly, "Hachigaya-kun, there's something else important I need to tell you."

Faced with Nijika's relentless pressure, Hachiman swallowed hard: "...Can't we talk about it tomorrow?"

"Damn it!!!" Hongxia leaned forward slightly, looking like she was about to use the same trick again.

Seeing that Nijika was about to threaten him with her body again, Hachiman sighed helplessly: "How about we go to the park next door?"

---Dividing line---

Let's tentatively update at this point for now!

028 Time to clean up the trash

The two arrived at the nearby park. Since school had just let out, there were students everywhere walking in groups. Hachiman deliberately found a bench under the shade of a tree, and the two sat down on either side of each other, two meters apart.

A gentle breeze caressed my face, and Hikigaya felt a rare sense of relaxation.

"Hachiman, you're sitting so far away, I can't hear you talking like that."

A muffled grumbling came from over, but Hachiman didn't react at all. He went straight to the point: "So, what do you want from me?"

"Really!"

The moment she spoke, Hongxia took it upon herself to slowly move over, and once she arrived, her little feet, which couldn't reach the ground, swayed back and forth in the air.

Hachiman sighed silently and turned his pupa in the opposite direction.

Hongxia, your actions could easily lead to misunderstandings with boys, so if you know that, please don't come any closer.

Children of this age don't yet have a strong sense of gender, but Hachiman believes that education should start from a young age to prevent a bunch of idiots from falling into the trap of self-consciousness later on.

Yeah, he used to be just as stupid.

While Hachiman was lost in thought, Nijika pulled out two candies from somewhere: "Hachiman, would you like some lollipops? These apple flavors are really good."

"Thank you..."

Then, in silence, the two of them started tearing open the lollipop wrappers.
