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

After thinking for a moment, Hachiman decided to add to Ishida's sentence: "See, I told you so."

"Ueno..."

Boys at this age may be carefree in their dealings with others, but they are particularly sensitive to interpersonal relationships, especially among close friends. A few unintentional words can easily trigger negative emotions in the other person.

"Tch, who wants to play with her!"

Ishida Shoya seemed to have figured something out. He glared at Hachiman Hikigaya and then walked away in the opposite direction with his head down.

Well, how should I put it? I guess doing this much is about enough?

As Hikigaya watched Ishida's departing figure, he thought to himself.

031 Immature Bully

Literary Department.

Motoyo Ichinose and Hikigaya sat at opposite ends of the long table, each quietly reading their books.

As if something was on her mind, Su Shi would raise her eyes every minute, secretly glancing at the boy opposite her, and then looking away when he wasn't looking.

Hachiman had noticed this long ago. He suddenly put down his book and said directly, "Ichinose-kun, is there something I can ask you for help with?"

At this moment, the girl's heart wavered slightly. Su Shi hurriedly put down her book and shyly tidied the brown strands of hair by her ears.

"Ah, um, is it because the lunchbox at noon didn't suit Hikigaya-kun's taste?"

"No, why did we suddenly bring this up?" Hachiman rubbed his temples, speechless.

Speaking of bento boxes, Hachiman noticed that the child's cooking skills had improved very quickly, going from "ordinary" to "delicious" in just over a week.

The problem is that the frequency of food tastings has been increasing recently, and Hachiman has a feeling that he is being taken care of.

"Isn't it a bento box issue?"

"No... actually, it's like this, Ichinose-san, could you please look after Komachi for me tomorrow afternoon?"

Thinking about what would happen tomorrow afternoon, Hachiman felt it was necessary to find a place to settle his younger sister.

The activity room of the Literature Department perfectly suited his needs.

Furthermore, although Komachi and Motoyo haven't met yet, their personalities should get along quite well.

"No problem, I've always wanted to talk to Komachi."

Suze smiled happily, then asked with a puzzled look, "Speaking of which, does Hachiman have something special to take care of tomorrow afternoon?"

Hachiman nodded: "Yes, there's an important meeting in class."

"A meeting..."

Mom has been coming home very late these past few days because of company meetings. Will Hachiman also be...?

No, no, it's just a class meeting, don't overthink it.

Su Shi shook her head, dispelling the strange thoughts in her mind.

For some reason, she had a vague feeling that Hachiman was about to do something extraordinary.

The next morning, Hikigaya arranged for Komachi and Motoyo to meet ahead of time, and as he had expected, they both liked each other very much.

"After school, Komachi, come here first. Your older brother will come to pick you up in a while."

"Oh, I see, Onii-chan."

"Don't worry, Hikigaya-kun, I'll take good care of Komachi."

"Ah."

After resolving his only concern, Hachiman went upstairs to the classroom.

He checked the class schedule on the blackboard.

The third period in the afternoon is a class meeting, and everyone will be there. Usually, Takeuchi will enter the classroom on time after the bell rings, so let's choose this time.

After doing all this, he slowly walked over to Naoka Ueno's side.

Why is this guy here...?

Naoka Ueno turned her face away in annoyance.

Because of what happened in gym class yesterday, Naoka Ueno's relationship with Shoya Ishida suddenly dropped to a freezing point. This morning, she tried to talk to Ishida, but he refused to talk to her, as if he was deliberately distancing himself from her.

Tch, fine, don't talk then!

Even so, Naoka Ueno still regretted it a little, feeling that she had been a bit too harsh yesterday.

At this critical juncture, the instigator walked over nonchalantly, which made Naoka Ueno clench her fists in anger.

"What?"

Is Ishida still angry with you?

"Ha, isn't it all because of you?"

"I'm sorry, I'll go apologize for you. Actually, I don't think Ishida really cares about this."

"Tch, none of your business."

But after Hikigaya said that, Naoka Ueno also had the idea of ​​making up with Shoya Ishida.

...

After the second period in the afternoon, Hachiman focused his attention on observing his surroundings. Ishida was also fooling around with Shimada and Hirose, but he seemed absent-minded. Even Shimada was laughing and making sarcastic remarks.

Naoka Ueno was chatting with her friends, her eyes occasionally drifting towards Shoya Ishida.

It seems that Kawai Miki is still talking to Miyashita, who was speaking ill of her.

This class is full of geniuses.

A moment later, Naoka Ueno reached out and patted Shoko Nishimiya, who was reading a book: "Nishimiya-san, you can hear perfectly well wearing this, right?"

Upon hearing the interesting topic, class monitor Kawai joined in, saying, "I also think they should be able to hear it."

At that moment, Naoka Ueno had a very interesting idea.

Ishida seems to really like this. If I give it to Ishida, he'll probably be willing to talk to me, right?

Nishimiya Shoko seemed to be processing the meaning of their words when, before she could speak, she suddenly felt her hearing aid being roughly removed from her ear.

"Hey, Ishida!"

When he was called, Ishida Shoya was taken aback, but he was not really keen on talking to Ueno Naoka right now.

"I have one here, want to play?"

Naoka Ueno flaunts her spoils.

Seeing this, Ishida Shoya's eyes lit up. The boy's playful heart finally overcame his dissatisfaction with his friend. He waved his arms and shouted towards Ueno Naoka, "Let me see!"

Seeing this, Naoka Ueno knew she had done the right thing; it turned out that Ishida wasn't actually angry with her at all.

With a forceful throw, she accurately passed the hearing aid to Ishida Shoya.

"Wow, this thing is still too dirty!"

Looking at the hearing aid in his hand, Ishida Shoya's face was full of rejection, and he threw the hearing aid out the window once again.

Ueno Naoka smiled reassuringly.

At that moment, Hachiman suddenly spoke up: "Ishida, can you stop being so childish?"

Ishida Shoya's voice was somewhat low: "Hitoriya, can you please stop meddling in other people's business?"

"So you chose the easy-to-bully Nishimiya to get Ueno-san's attention?"

"No, when did I ever try to get Ueno's attention?"

Not only Ishida Masaya, but even Ueno Naoka was stunned.

Seeing that all the classmates were looking this way, Hachiman raised his voice: "Yesterday, Ueno said she didn't like you, so you took your anger out on Nishimiya, didn't you?"

"I didn't do that!"

Ishida loudly argued his case, but unfortunately, the events of yesterday had already spread throughout the entire class through a few girls.

Originally, everyone was just teasing Ishida Shoya in private, but Ishida Shoya actually chose to bully others in order to please Ueno Naoka, and everyone's attitudes changed subtly as a result.

"Ishida, you'd better not do that."

"Yes, how can you blame your own problems on others?"

The whispers in the classroom were becoming unbearable for Ishida Shoya, and he angrily shouted at Hachiman, "You're talking nonsense! And if Ueno dislikes me, why was she talking to me just now?"

"Do not..."

Naoka Ueno was about to explain when Hachiman interrupted her, saying, "She just feels sorry for you."

Ishida Shoya gave Ueno a deep look and shook his head in disbelief.

Ignoring the increasingly distraught Ishida Shoya, Hikigaya continued, "Ishida Shoya, the only way you can maintain your presence is by bullying others, and since Nishimiya-san doesn't fight back, you specifically bully her."

"It's clearly that girl's fault. Ever since she came, the class has become a mess!"

Hikigaya gave a cold laugh. Ishida Shoya thought he was a champion of justice, but in reality, such an explanation would only deepen everyone's negative impression of him.

He took a deep breath and decided to deliver the final blow to Ishida Shouya: "So, if someone makes a mistake in the future, will you punish them in the same way?"

"I..."

Ishida Shoya was speechless. He clenched his fists, his anger clouding his judgment.

"You're so annoying!"

He charged forward suddenly, not very fast, and Hachiman could have easily dodged it, but he chose to take the punch head-on.

032 Small pot of tea

With a thud, Hachiman crashed heavily to the ground.

"Hikigaya-kun!"

At the same time, Hongxia left her seat in the blink of an eye and rushed over to help Hachiman Hikigaya up from the ground.

Are you hurt? Are you alright? Shall I take you to the infirmary?

"No, I'm fine."

Hikigaya politely declined Nijika's offer. He took a breath, and his wound, which hadn't fully healed yesterday, reopened.

Blood flowed down the scar, making him look as if he had suffered a very serious injury.

The students in the class who witnessed this scene all looked away, unable to bear it.

"Hikigaya-san..."

Nishimiya Shoko arrived at Hachiman's side a beat late. Without a hearing aid, she had no idea what had happened. It seemed that Hachiman had a conflict with Ishida Shoya, and then the latter punched Hachiman.

Fighting is clearly wrong...

Hachiman didn't have time to pay attention to the wound on his lip, because he hadn't finished what he needed to do.

Ishida looked at his hands in disbelief. The solid feeling on them made him a little scared. He turned to look at the person next to him. Ueno seemed to be startled by his actions and was nervously hugging his hands.

What about the rest?

As Ishida Shoya's gaze swept across the class, he sensed deep fear, contempt, and doubt in the eyes of the others.

A sudden chill ran down his spine, and Ishida Shoya began to defend himself: "Wait a minute, everyone, don't look at me like that. I didn't mean to do that."

Before today, no matter how much Ishida Shouya bullied Nishimiya Shouko, he could get away with it by playing pranks. But this time, his act of injuring Hachiman in front of everyone completely made him lose everyone's trust.

"That's terrible, Ishida. I never thought you were this kind of person..."

"Yes, no matter what, you shouldn't hit people."

"Exactly, they rushed in on their own but are still trying to deny it."

"No, I didn't, Ueno, Shimada, don't you agree?"

Ishida also cast a fawning glance at Naoka Ueno and his close friends. He and Ueno had just reconciled, and Shimada and the others would surely speak up for him!

They placed all their hopes on so-called friends, but received only intermittent responses.
