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

"Well, actually I think what Ishida has been doing lately has been a bit excessive," Naoka Ueno said, completely shirking her responsibility.

"Ugh?"

"Y-that's right." Shimada Kazuki covered his mouth with his sleeve and turned his head away guiltily. Seeing him do this, the chubby Hirose Keisuke lowered his head and remained silent.

"How could you do this..."

Faced with his friends kicking him while he was down, Ishida Shoya collapsed to the ground, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Why did everyone abandon him? They were all having fun when they were teasing Nishimiya Shoko.

While Hachiman wasn't surprised at all, witnessing this scene still left him somewhat disheartened. They were like brothers when things were going well, but when something important needed help, one of them would run away faster than the other...

So-called friendship is nothing more than this; friends are indeed unnecessary.

"Hachigaya-kun, Ishida-kun already knows he was wrong."

As the atmosphere calmed down, Kawai Miki, who had been secretly observing from the side, spoke softly.

"Ah, Kawai-kun, you really know how to pick your timing."

Hachiman snorted coldly and glared mercilessly at Miki Kawai, who was somewhat confused as to why Hachiman's attitude towards her had suddenly become so bad.

"Hachiman, I didn't understand what you meant."

“If you wanted to be a good person, you should have stood up long ago, shouldn’t you?” Under Kawai Miki’s incredulous gaze, Hikigaya wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. “No wonder Miyashita and the others said you were hypocritical. Now it seems they were right.”

...They even dragged Miyashita's affair into this; Hikigaya is truly shameless.

Kawai Miki thought to herself, then said reproachfully, "Hachigaya-kun, that's really too much! Miyashita-kun and I have a very good relationship, so please stop trying to sow discord between us!"

Miyashita, who was called out, immediately shivered, seemingly startled by Kawai Miki's actions regarding the small tea can.

Hikigaya, observing Miyashita's reaction out of the corner of his eye, couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

With such acting skills at such a young age, she probably has a bright future ahead of her.

"Hehe, actually you just want to be praised, right? Because you want people to think you're a top student, that's why you're only speaking now."

At this point, Hikigaya paused for a moment: "And Kawai-kun, weren't you just watching the show when Ishida was bullying Nishimiya-kun?"

"I...I'm just a little scared."

Tears welled up in her eyes, and Kawai's voice trembled with a slight sob: "And even if I tried to stop him, it wouldn't have mattered. Ishida wouldn't listen to me at all."

Hikigaya found her statement ridiculous. It would be one thing if Kawai had actually tried to stop it, but the problem was that this guy had witnessed the whole process of Nishimiya being tricked without doing anything, and in the end, he wanted to wash his hands of everything.

She's a complete and utter bitch.

"Kawai-kun, you're essentially no different from Ishida, as evidenced by the fact that from the beginning until now, not a single person has spoken up for you, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Kawai Miki hurriedly looked towards the others, only to find herself in the same predicament as Ishida Shoya—no one was willing to stand up for her.

"No...it's not."

Kawai Miki trembled and hugged herself, she never expected things to turn out this way.

"So the class monitor did the same thing as Ishida."

"It feels like it could get even worse."

Hearing the whispers around her, she didn't know how to face them, so she buried her head in her hands and sobbed on the table.

This time, however, no one was willing to comfort her.

Hachiman felt his heart pounding. He suppressed the nausea in his chest and quickly returned to his seat to check the camera's status.

The already-activated camera perfectly recorded everything that had just happened.

He borrowed this from his father. Although the image quality wasn't great, it was enough to prove Ishida Shoya's violent behavior.

Of course, this is not a tool needed to deal with Ishida or Kawai Miki. Ishida has already learned his lesson, and they should behave themselves until the end of the semester when they are divided into classes.

However, Hachiman hopes that these guys can learn something useful from this incident.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; those who bully others will be looked down upon by others.

Next, Hachiman will have to face the culprit behind this bullying incident. It's all because of a guy who stayed out of it from beginning to end that he had to spend so much effort preparing all this stuff.

Moreover, Hikigaya had already warned the other party that it was impossible to let him go now.

"Just you wait, that bastard teacher."

033 Nishimiya Shoko's Growth

"Jingle Bell!"

The bell rang precisely on time for the last class. Takeuchi, wearing an old green sports jacket and carrying his lesson plan, walked into the classroom.

I'm just a primary school student, but having to attend a meeting tomorrow is really annoying.

Zhu complained inwardly, but as soon as he entered the room, an unusual aura hit him, instantly waking him up.

...Did something happen?

With this question in mind, Takeuchi looked at the students in the classroom. He saw Kawai Miki slumped over her desk, trembling, while Ishida Shoya stood listlessly in his seat, and the others lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Three of the tables were empty, belonging to Hachiman Hikigaya, Nijika Ijichi, and Shoko Nishimiya.

Where are these three people?

No one answered.

Takeuchi clicked his tongue impatiently and directly called out a certain student's name.

Under the intense pressure from the homeroom teacher, the other party tremblingly revealed that the three of them were in the infirmary.

"Infirmary, what just happened?"

Soon, Takeuchi learned about the situation. He slammed his lesson plan on the podium in dissatisfaction and said, "Ishida, Kawai, you two come to my office. Everyone else, study on your own for this class."

After saying that, Takeuchi quickly left the classroom, while Kawai Miki and Ishida Shoya followed behind him with deathly pale faces.

...

Infirmary.

"You're badly injured, Hachiman, but the teacher thinks it's cool for a boy to stand up for a girl."

While treating the wound with alcohol, Teacher Xiaoba praised her.

"Mr. Hachiman, you've misunderstood. I did this only for myself." Hachiman didn't admit it.

"Oh dear, you're so clueless. You should at least wait until the girls have left before saying that."

Ms. Koba paused for a moment, then glanced at the two little girls beside her to confirm. Both Nijika and Nishimiya Shoko had tears in their eyes and resolutely shook their heads, denying Hikigaya's statement.

Hey, can you give me some face?

Seeing the two girls' intense gazes, Hachiman felt his cheeks burning.

It must be because the wound reopened. Ishida Shoya, you bastard, why did you hit me so hard!

"Hachiman, I'm sorry."

Nishimiya Shoko carefully chose her words. She had already learned everything that had just happened through her notebook, and knew that Hachiman had been injured while standing up for her. Now, in addition to deep gratitude, she also felt immense guilt.

“I’ve already said that’s not how it is at all…” Hachiman sighed, unsure how to explain it to these two.

"Why not just admit it?" Teacher Xiaoba said with a smile. "Sighing all the time will make happiness slip away."

"..."

"Alright, the wound is treated. Do you still need to go back to class?" Teacher Xiaoba put away the tweezers after tying the knot.

"Are there any other options?" Hachiman asked tentatively.

"Of course! For example, if you rest here with your teacher for a while, your teacher will reward our little warriors handsomely." Teacher Koba winked at Hachiman.

No, there's no need for that.

Hachiman stood up; a bandage was wrapped around the corner of his mouth, making his face look somewhat comical.

"Pfft, Hachiman, I didn't mean to."

Hongxia couldn't help but laugh out loud. Hikigaya frowned, but he felt that laughing was much better than crying.

"I'll talk to your homeroom teacher later. Now go back quickly."

"No, no need. He should be on his way now."

"what?"

Hearing Hachiman's strange tone, Mr. Kohachi looked up from the first-aid kit.

"Hachiman, if I'm not mistaken, you're not planning on doing something outrageous, are you?"

"Sorry, I'm just a third-grade elementary school student."

Hikigaya shrugged.

Mr. Hachiman's lips twitched slightly. A normal person wouldn't emphasize that they are normal; only someone with a problem would insist that they have no problem. Therefore, he concluded that Hachiman would definitely do something in a moment!

Is this child really just a primary school student?

Before she could speak again, an angry voice rang out from outside the door.

"Hachiman, are you in there?"

"Takeuchi-sensei?"

Mr. Koba stood up in surprise. He saw that there was more than just Takeuchi at the door; behind him were two pale-faced elementary school students.

Takeuchi glared menacingly at the door, but softened his tone slightly after noticing that Mr. Koba was also there: "Come to my office once your wounds are treated. I have something to say to the three of you."

As he spoke, Takeuchi looked at Nijika and the other girl, his aura somewhat intimidating: "You two should hurry back to your classroom and stop wandering around here."

Nijika froze, then quickly pulled Nishimiya Shoko behind Hikigaya.

"Hikigaya-san..."

Takeuchi frowned. It was one thing for people in the class to be fighting, but these two were causing him more trouble.

Because Mr. Koba was present, Takeuchi couldn't get angry and could only wait at the door with Ishida and the others.

However, this was exactly what Hikigaya wanted. Just as he was about to follow, Nishimiya Shoko reached out and tugged at his sleeve.

Turning my head, I saw a long passage written in the notebook.

"Hachiman, I've always wanted to be friends with everyone in my class, but this incident has shown me that not everyone wants to be my friend."

"I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused everyone."

"Hachigaya asked me what friends are before, and I still don't know how to answer, but I think having friends like Hikigaya and Nijika is enough."

Halfway through reading, Nishimiya Shoko suddenly blushed, turned the notebook around, and crossed out many words.

...She said the wrong thing again. No wonder Hachiman has never wanted to be friends with her.

Thinking of this, Nishimiya Shoko quickly wrote on her notebook.

"I'm sorry, I've upset Hachiman again."

Hachiman watched all this silently, a slight smile playing on his lips.

He felt once again that Nishimiya Shoko's persistent and clingy nature was the type he couldn't handle at all, but how to put it another way, this girl had grown a lot.

In response, Hachiman felt he should do something.

"Hachiman, what are you still doing?"

Before he could react, Takeuchi's urging voice came, and Hikigaya deliberately snorted coldly, showing no respect for his homeroom teacher.

"puff."

Teacher Xiaoba, who was watching the commotion, burst out laughing.

Feeling humiliated, Takeuchi decided to use force to bring Hachiman out, but the latter had already stepped out of the infirmary.

However, before leaving the house, he turned to face the inside, and half a second later, he awkwardly raised his hand and clumsily made a gesture in the air.

At first, Nishimiya Shoko didn't notice any of this until someone patted her on the shoulder hard.

"Glass-chan, look!"

She hurriedly raised her head, her gaze settling on the boy bathed in sunlight.
