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

The most familiar sign language, along with this scene, was etched into Nishimiya Shoko's mind. Her eyes felt hot, and then tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

"Can we be friends?"

034 It was just a prank.

Ugh, I want to die.

After leaving the infirmary, Hachiman felt extremely uncomfortable and his whole body was burning up.

Why use sign language? Can't you just say it directly?

Well, if he could just say what he wanted to say properly, he wouldn't be like this now. And isn't it shameful to talk about being friends?

No, think about it carefully, isn't using sign language even more shameful?

Ugh, I want to die! Please, let me go back five minutes!

Dear God, since I've already been reborn once, this request shouldn't be too unreasonable, right?

His turbulent emotions finally subsided after arriving at the teachers' office, especially when the three elementary school students lined up and Takeuchi's grumpy face swept over them one by one, Hikigaya's overheated brain immediately calmed down.

Phew, now is not the time to dwell on embarrassing past events.

"Ishida!"

Takeuchi decided to start with the most mischievous Ishida, and he slammed his hand on the table.

"Have you been showing a lot of disrespect to your teacher these past few days?!"

With a furious shout, an aggressive aura enveloped the three of them in an instant, and Ishida Shouya, whose mentality was already somewhat broken, did not dare to resist at all.

"Yeah, sorry."

"There's a limit to misbehaving. If you have a conflict with your classmate, you can talk to the teacher about why you hit someone!"

"I..."

Ishida Shoya no longer had the strength to defend himself. He lowered his head and hummed in agreement, like a fish that had been pulled out of the water and could no longer struggle.

Takeuchi said irritably, "This is really troublesome. You should apologize to Hachiman first."

"Hikigaya-kun, I'm sorry." Ishida Shoya bowed and said weakly.

If an apology could solve everything, then what's the point of having police...?

Hachiman thought to himself, then looked away without responding.

Takeuchi deliberately ignored his reaction and continued, "Afterwards, go apologize to Nishimiya and don't cause trouble for the class again next time."

"Yes..."

Ishida stared blankly at the ground and nodded listlessly.

"Then it's Kawai."

Takeuchi shifted his gaze, and Kawai Miki, who had been pointed at, trembled, tears welling up in her eyes once more: "I'm sorry, Takeuchi-sensei, I know I was wrong. I really didn't mean to. I'll go apologize to Nishimiya-kun."

"Yes, you know it yourself."

Takeuchi's tone softened slightly.

From most teachers' perspectives, Kawai Miki is the kind of top student who gets good grades and rarely causes teachers any trouble. Her mistake this time was probably due to her lack of tact and insufficient thinking, which allowed someone to seize on her.

Simply put, you still need to practice more.

For obedient children like this, a few words are enough. Saying too much will only make them question their own way of doing things, which will then affect their academic performance.

Don't underestimate the power of elementary school; parents these days can be incredibly difficult to deal with. Just thinking about dealing with those demanding parents gives Takeuchi a headache.

What a hassle. In the end, it's all Hachiman's fault. Why did he have to provoke others?

Takeuchi's handling of the matter did not surprise Hakiya at all; he dealt with it leniently, giving both sides equal blame, and that was the end of it.

That's understandable, considering Takeuchi is just a lazy, unproductive office worker.

On his side, Takeuchi had no problem getting Ishida to apologize, and at this point, Hikigaya didn't care about those worthless apologies.

However, Hikigaya had something to say about Nishimiya Shoko.

This is not as simple as just one-sided bullying.

This is school bullying.

Nishimiya Shoko is rather timid. If Ishida and the other perpetrators simply bow their heads and apologize, she would most likely not pursue the matter further.

If nothing unexpected happens, this matter will be dismissed as childish pranks. If Nishimiya Shoko doesn't bring it up herself, Ishida won't even need to pay for the hearing aid.

but.

This is the expected situation.

"Hikigaya...!"

Takeuchi subtly emphasized his tone.

According to his classmates, Hikigaya didn't stand up to protect Nishimiya Shoko, but rather for his own selfish desires.

Takeuchi roughly summarized the situation: Hikigaya confessed to a girl but was rejected, and then took his anger out on Ishida Shoya.

After a few exchanges, the two started fighting.

What bad luck! He actually ran into such a troublesome student...

After a long silence, Takeuchi sighed, adjusting his glasses: "Ishida just apologized to you, but you've been taking it too hard. Let's remain classmates from now on..."

“Teacher Takeuchi, do you want to pretend that none of this happened?” Hikigaya suddenly interrupted him.

Takeuchi narrowed his eyes: "Why would you think that? Didn't the teacher make Ishida and the others apologize to you?"

Is an apology enough?

"Hachiman, I know you're a little upset that you got hit, but the teacher is trying to help you, isn't she?"

"That's not what I meant, Takeuchi-sensei. You should know about what Ishida did to Nishimiya-kun before, right?"

Takeuchi paused for a moment, his gaze shifting slightly: "The teacher has told you several times already, it was just ordinary play."

"So, does Professor Takeuchi think that removing a hearing aid from a student with hearing loss and throwing it out of a third-floor window is just a normal joke?"

"this..."

Takeuchi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Okay, I'll contact Ishida's parents and have them come over to discuss compensation."

"teacher!"

Upon hearing that his parents were to be called to the school, Ishida Shoya immediately became anxious.

"Shut up! You were the one who played a prank on your classmate. The teacher has already warned you that what you did was immoral!"

Seeing Takeuchi's eagerness to shirk responsibility, Hikigaya snorted. If this kind of teacher continued to teach this class, similar incidents would definitely happen in the future.

"Hachiman, that's enough. If you hadn't deliberately provoked Ishida, he wouldn't have made a move!"

Takeuchi impatiently banged on the table, but Hakiya remained unyielding.

"Could you please not change the subject?"

"Hachiman, is this how you talk to a teacher?"

"manner?"

Hachiman chuckled and scratched the back of his head: "Ah, I'm really sorry, it was my attitude that was the problem. After all, I've already done my best to fulfill my responsibilities as a student, unlike someone who just pushes their responsibilities onto others."

In other words, did he not fulfill his duties?

Sensing the sarcastic tone in Hachiman's words, Takeuchi suddenly stood up: "That's enough, Hachiman. I'll also call your parents over and have a good talk with them about your terrible performance in class recently."

"..."

Hikigaya's smile deepened.

It would indeed be troublesome to have his parents come over, provided that Takeuchi still has the energy to deal with himself.

Just as Takeuchi was searching for Hikigaya's parents' phone number in his contacts with a disgruntled expression, the third-year head teacher walked in with a blank face.

He was carrying a white file folder. After entering the office, he looked around and finally went straight to Takeuchi's workstation.

"Teacher Takeuchi, are you free right now?"

"You say."

As if sensing something, Takeuchi nervously put down his contacts.

"Can you explain to me what's going on?"

"what?"

Takeuchi didn't quite understand.

The head of student affairs sighed, then said seriously, "Mr. Takeuchi, someone has reported that you are deliberately inciting bullying at school."

035 Three Visits to the Medical Clinic

Perhaps wanting to minimize the impact of the situation before it was fully exposed, the head of the teaching department tried his best to suppress the urges in his throat, but anyone could tell from his raised and impassioned tone that the middle-aged man was burning with anger.

Like a dormant volcano about to erupt, the billowing smoke made the classroom doors that were about to come and try to stop it retreat.

That makes sense; in the Japanese workplace philosophy, taking care of oneself is more important than anything else.

"No, please believe me, there has never been any bullying or instigation of such behavior."

Takeuchi immediately shook his head, denying this claim.

"I want to believe you too, but the inspection team is already at the school gate. Damn it, it's only the beginning of the semester."

The head of student affairs paused, then his tone turned cold: "Takeuchi, I remember you had a student with a hearing impairment in your class, right? How is that child doing?"

I was just dealing with someone bullying Nishimiya Shoko... Takeuchi could never bring himself to say that, so he could only make up some excuses to downplay the issue: "That child should be fine."

"That's good. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has been paying close attention to this issue these past few days. It's good that we didn't run into any trouble."

Takeuchi wiped the sweat from his brow and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

He knew that a few people in the class, led by Ishida Shoya, were teasing Nishimiya Shoko, but he didn't choose to take a strong approach because he thought it would be too troublesome to deal with.

Takeuchi believed that Ishida and the others' actions were still within control. Even if they went a little too far today, he could still keep things under control and at least not implicate himself.

But he never expected that someone would report this matter, especially during the most stringent period of inspection.

Who is it?!

The two kept talking, but Ishida Shoya and Kawai Miki didn't understand what the adults were talking about at all, while Hachiman leaned against the wall in silence.

The inspection team arrived too early...

According to the plan, he needed to further probe Takeuchi's words to confirm that Takeuchi had deliberately instigated bullying before having the investigation team come to investigate.

But who would have thought that their work efficiency would suddenly be so high?

If an investigation is launched now, Takeuchi will likely fail to produce any decent results due to a lack of substantial evidence. At best, it will simply be a case of lax discipline of students and a failure to fulfill his duties as a teacher.

However, upon further reflection, if the target was only Takeuchi, then such an official trial would suffice.

School bullying has always been a hot topic in society. In order to protect the school's reputation, the school will definitely take all measures to reduce the impact of public opinion. At that time, Takeuchi will most likely be suspended for a period of time before the discussion is carried out.

Hikigaya touched the recorder, the damaged hearing aid, and the SD card in his pocket. If the school asked him about what happened that day, it would be the last straw that broke the camel's back.

While it wouldn't be a fatal blow, it would be more than enough to drive Takeuchi out of Haneoka Elementary School.

Just you wait, Takeuchi, you scumbag teacher.

After an unknown amount of time, he saw a man with gray hair walk in. The man seemed to be the chairman of Haneoka Elementary School. The headmaster and the chairman discussed in hushed tones, and after reaching a conclusion, they gave Takeuchi a big hat in front of everyone.

Not only Hachiman, but the other teachers in the office were also stunned.

"Chairman, please calm down!"

With everyone's reassurance, the white-haired chairman calmed down, then sealed off the entire office, and those "unrelated people" like them were immediately kicked out.

After he came out, Hachiman was still recalling the powerful slap; to be honest, it looked really painful.

But to be honest, seeing Takeuchi's frustrated expression was surprisingly pleasant.

"Hikigaya..."
