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

She made up a flimsy excuse and walked briskly toward the third-grade floor.

...

Let's go back half an hour.

During the semester, Hachiman was given the unprecedented privilege of being picked up and dropped off by his parents twice.

The reason is rather funny.

"Hachiman, I heard there was a fight in your grade yesterday. Be careful and don't mess with those delinquents."

"Oh."

Hikigaya scratched his face speechlessly. He had already removed the gauze from his mouth, but the scabs were extremely itchy after he woke up in the morning.

"Also, be careful when you walk in the future. You're already so old, why do your parents still have to worry about you?"

Seeing her son's irresponsible behavior, Hikigaya's mother advised him with a mixture of exasperation and worry: "Even if it itches, you can't keep scratching, it will affect your recovery."

"Okay, I'll take Komachi upstairs first. Dad, Mom, you can go to work."

Unable to withstand her parents' nagging, Hikigaya led Komachi toward the school building.

Yesterday, the school called Hachiman's parents, but they were busy at the time, and when they got home, Hachiman gave them a lecture, so the matter was left unresolved.

Hachiman felt it was fortunate that he was the one who got hurt; if Komachi had bumped or bruised herself, his parents would probably have rushed to the teacher's office with pots and pans by now.

"Onii-chan, are you in a good mood today?" Komachi suddenly asked on the way to the classroom.

Hachiman suppressed the smirk on his face and said calmly, "No, why do you say that?"

"Because Onii-chan has been smiling the whole time."

"That's because Komachi misread it."

"is it?"

The two parted ways in front of their respective school buildings, and Hachiman went straight to Class 3-A.

Standing at the classroom door, Hachiman listened to the lively chatter inside and thought that these kids had probably already forgotten about Friday. So, without thinking, he walked in from the back.

However, to his surprise...

As soon as I entered the classroom, it was as if a silencer had been installed, and all the sounds disappeared.

Hikigaya felt uneasy as he heard his footsteps growing louder.

No, why are you all looking at me like that?

039 Su Shi: Actually, it was fright.

"The Great Demon King is here."

"Hey, keep your voice down, or you'll be kicked out too if someone hears you."

"No, I don't want to be separated from Xiaomei."

I was bombarded with PDA the moment I started school. Damn it, may all the social butterflies in the world explode!

But speaking of which, who is the Great Demon King?

Hikigaya paused for a moment, but he didn't pay much attention. In his opinion, it was just that the incident from last Friday hadn't passed, and these elementary school students probably still had some strange misunderstandings about him.

Let me make this clear first, it wasn't his fault, it was the world's fault.

Ignoring the complicated looks from the students, Hachiman went to his seat, opened his bag, and took out the light novel he hadn't finished reading last week to start reading.

Good morning, Hachiman.

"Good morning, Ijichi-kun."

Without even looking up, Hachiman knew who the other person was, marveling at how he had unknowingly developed such exceptional hearing.

Because there were no restrictions on clothing in elementary school, everyone could wear their own clothes, so Hongxia changed into a white T-shirt today and added a green jacket on top, making her look refreshing and cute.

Nijiga looked around, then lowered her voice and whispered in Hachiman's ear, "Well, how should I put it, everyone really admires Hachiman now."

Is that considered admiration?

Hachiman rolled his eyes inwardly.

"why?"

"And you're still asking why? Has Hachiman forgotten what you did last Friday?"

"What did I do to get such a severe beating?"

Hachiman chuckled self-deprecatingly; he didn't think these elementary school students would connect the reason for the inspection team's investigation with him.

"Here we go again~" Nijika said reproachfully, hands on her hips. "I'll let you in on a secret: everyone is actually praising Hachiman for standing up for Shoko-chan."

"is it?"

Hikigaya didn't take it seriously, assuming it was mostly Nijika's own embellishment.

The basis for this was the way others looked at him when he entered the classroom. At least, Bikigu saw no respect in their eyes; instead, he saw fear and incomprehension.

"Great Demon King"—although the nickname is a bit childish, Hachiman has to admit that these kids aren't completely brain-damaged.

That's right, he is the Camille of the New World...

Just kidding, these elementary school students just saw him as an oddball.

"It doesn't matter how that happens... By the way, hasn't Nishimiya-san arrived yet?"

Nishimiya Shoko, who always arrives at the classroom early, is late today. She also notices that the seats of Ishida Shoya, Ueno Naoka, and Kawai Miki are all empty.

"Ah, Shoko-chan just went to the teacher's office."

Nijika glanced at Nishimiya Shoko's seat. Nishimiya Shoko was still there when she came in the morning. It wasn't until a few minutes before Hachiman arrived that the third-year head teacher suddenly appeared and took her away. She didn't know why.

"Okay, then I'm going to study."

"Okay, then I won't bother Hachiman-kun anymore."

Hongxia obediently returned to her seat, and the surrounding classmates exclaimed in admiration.

"That scared me to death! I almost thought the Great Demon King was going to make a move again."

"Don't talk nonsense. It wasn't Hachiman's fault last Friday," Nijika explained with a smile. Ever since she arrived at school that morning, strange rumors had been circulating in the classroom.

For example, Hikigaya is actually quite good at fighting. After school on Friday, he invited Ishida and the others out and beat them up.

Some even say that Hikigaya's crush isn't Naoka Ueno at all, but Shoko Nishimiya, otherwise why would he confront Shoya Ishida head-on?

However, in Hongxia's opinion, these rumors were simply nonsense.

She tried her best to explain to her friends that Hachiman wasn't a bad person, but the rumors became increasingly strange, with some even more outrageous claims that Hachiman was the chairman's illegitimate son, which is why those who accused him last Friday didn't come to school this morning.

"If that's not the case, why haven't Ishida and the others shown up yet?"

"Ugh..."

This question stumped Hongxia.

...Yes, she didn't understand why Ishida Shoya and the others hadn't come to school yet.

A few minutes before the morning meeting began, Hachiman was focused on doing his practice problems when suddenly a brown figure entered his field of vision.

"Ichinose-san?"

"Hachiman, excuse me for bothering you, are you available now?"

"Okay, wait a moment."

As Hikigaya was organizing the books, Sose observed the students around him.

Sure enough, something's off about the atmosphere in the third grade.

The moment Su Shi stepped into the classroom, the other students' eyes were unabashedly fixed on her.

"Nijika-chan is a girl from another class."

Feeling the tremor in her sleeve, Hongxia looked up and saw an unfamiliar girl walking out of the classroom side by side with Hikigaya.

"Do you know who she is?"

"I don't know."

The arrival of the strange girl further fueled the class's suspicions about Hikigaya, and now Nijika knew that no matter how she explained, she couldn't clear her name.

Her gaze followed the two of them, and she placed one hand on her face as she pondered.

Could it be that Hachiman did something really outrageous after school on Friday?

No, no, no, how could such a thing happen?

Even so, various fantasies still uncontrollably surfaced in the girl's mind—

...

outside the classroom.

The noisy chatter in the classroom reached Hachiman's ears, but he simply chose to ignore it.

"Ichinose-san, is there something you need?"

"Um, Hikigaya-kun, I heard something happened in your class last week?" Su Shi's smile carried a hint of concern.

After a moment's thought, Hikigaya did not deny it: "Well, but it has nothing to do with Ichinose-kun."

What do you mean by "it has nothing to do with her"...?

Su Shi was immediately angry. She had come to check on Hachiman, so how could he say that?

However, the thought that Hikigaya was very likely the victim in the rumors suppressed the anger that had just risen within him.

"sorry..."

No, I don't blame you.

Hachiman raised his hand to stop Suze from blaming himself: "Forget it, I'll just be frank. Actually, last Friday I had a conflict with someone and got punched."

really!

Su Shi looked at the wound on Hikigaya's lip with heartache, and reached out to touch it, but was avoided.

“I’m fine now, so don’t worry, and the person who hit me should have been punished.”

"Are you really alright? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No need. Speaking of which, Ichinose-san, I troubled you to take care of Komachi the other day."

"No, Komachi is very well-behaved. Can I go play with her sometime?"

Hachiman hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Whatever you want, but don't spoil that child too much."

"Okay~"

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll head back now."

Since Hachiman says everything is fine, shouldn't she stop talking?

Su Shi thought to herself, then waved her hand in front of her chest: "Okay, I'll head back now. See you at the club this afternoon, Hachiman."

Just as Hachiman was about to turn and leave, he paused and said, "Wait a minute, I also have something to say to you about the club."

"what?"

As if sensing something, her small hands, which had nowhere to go, froze on her chest, and Su Shi listened to the sound of her heartbeat gradually amplifying.

I probably won't go this afternoon.

"Sigh, is it because you have something to do this afternoon?"

"No, it's that I'm planning to leave the Literature Club."

040 The Last Judgment

Faced with this sudden request, Su Shi completely crashed.

She widened her eyes slightly, staring at Hachiman in astonishment, as if hoping he was joking.

just.
