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

No, it's not like that.

The problem wasn't truly solved; Hachiman only dealt with the person who caused the problem.

The bonds between students are more fragile than imagined. After entering the fourth grade, the entire class will be broken up and reassembled into a group.

At that time, the interpersonal relationships around her will be reset, and Nishimiya Shoko will have to face a new group of classmates. Hikigaya cannot be sure that there will be an idiot like Ishida Shoya among these students.

However, even if Nishimiya Shoko attends a special support school, it doesn't guarantee she'll adapt...

"Hikigaya-san."

The concerned voice beside him pulled Hikigaya back to his senses. Nishimiya Shoko quietly moved over and tugged at his sleeve.

"You look terrible, are you feeling unwell?"

Seeing Nishimiya Shoko's slightly flustered expression, Hikigaya forcibly suppressed his agitated feelings and shook his head: "No, I'm fine. I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Ah."

With a relieved smile, the girl turned to a new page in her notebook, wrote something, and then held it up to her cute face.

"Hachiman, thank you for your help during this time. I will become stronger from now on."

"Also, don't worry about me. I'm already very happy to have met Hachiman and Nijika."

Does Nishimiya Shoko feel that she will be alone again after transferring schools?

Hikigaya paused, then reached out and scratched his hair in frustration: "I don't know what you've misunderstood, but going to another school doesn't mean you'll never see anyone here again."

"No, but doing so would cause you trouble."

Nishimiya Shoko kept her head down.

Hey, don't make that face!

Hikigaya sighed and explained softly, "The school you're going to should only be two or three kilometers away from Haneoka. There are probably many Haneoka students in the park there too..."

Because of the increased speaking speed, Nishimiya Shoko couldn't hear clearly, but she could still feel the concern and gentleness in Hikigaya's tone.

Hikigaya-kun is thinking of me.

However, at this moment, a question quietly emerged in Nishimiya Shoko's mind.

When did Hikigaya go to investigate? Even she herself doesn't know where she'll be transferring to next.

Just as Nishimiya Shoko was about to voice her doubts, Hachiman interrupted her forcefully: "Statistically speaking, transferring schools does indeed mean losing relationships you already have, like what happened to me..."

"But on the other hand, you can say goodbye to those annoying guys by going to other places, right?"

"Well, if I can talk to Ijichi-san properly, there will be a chance for us to be together in the future."

No, that's not it. Nishimiya Shoko wants more than just that.

She pursed her lips, as if something was pulling her backward, and the figure of Hikigaya talking alone grew farther and farther away in front of her.

Unaware of this, Hachiman continued, "However, this is just my personal opinion; ultimately, it depends on whether Ijichi-kun is willing..."

"We're like crabs, let's be friends from now on."

Speak out!

Nishimiya Shoko suddenly felt a sense of relief, while cautiously glancing in Hachiman's direction, observing his expression.

The incredibly loud noise startled Hachiman, who immediately looked up and saw a beam of light in the brown eyes of the girl in front of him. She was gripping the edge of her skirt tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Something he couldn't quite put his finger on was stuck in his throat. After a long pause, Hachiman looked away and said softly, "Yes, I'll try my best."

如鲠在喉

042 Su Shi: This is what I made (4K)

The fourth-grade floor.

A cheerful atmosphere filled each classroom. The boys played stacking towers in the back, while the girls chatted about topics of interest around the central figures of their respective groups.

Alone, Su Shi felt only the noise of everyone around her. Holding a sharpened pencil, she aimlessly scribbled in her notebook.

The news that Hikigaya was leaving the club hit her hard.

After pondering for a whole morning, Su Shi finally concluded that she hadn't shown enough care during this period, which was why Hachiman had the idea of ​​leaving.

In order to salvage her image in Hikigaya's eyes, Suze decided to start chatting with him after every class from today onwards. In addition, she would increase the frequency of her food tastings to once a day!

Heavy thoughts emerged from her mind and made Su Shi feel much lighter.

Before she knew it, it was lunchtime. As usual, Su Shi took out two bento boxes wrapped in a small square towel from her schoolbag.

She overheard her classmates whispering behind her: "Ichinose went to play with boys again, and even made a bento. She's so vain."

Her body tensed up instinctively, she pursed her lips, lowered her head and quickened her pace as she walked out of the classroom. Halfway there, Su Shi seemed to realize something, and she dejectedly hugged the lunchbox in her hands.

What happened this morning? If I go to see Hachiman now, will it cause him trouble?

Su Shi nervously rubbed the edge of the lunchbox, feeling its substantial weight, and kept reassuring herself.

Hikigaya only said he wanted to quit the club, that's a completely different matter.

Well, that must be the case.

After completing the logical loop in her mind, Su Shi felt a little more at ease. She took two bento boxes and walked quickly toward the cafeteria. She waited patiently in the corner for a while and sure enough, she saw Hachiman appear at the door.

"Compare..."

Just as he was about to speak, two unexpected figures made Su Shi's eyes turn cold.

Two unfamiliar girls followed Hachiman on either side of him. The three of them chatted and laughed, and Suze also noticed that Hachiman would occasionally make some incomprehensible gestures.

Who are they?

...What are those gestures trying to express?

Wanting to get closer, but afraid of being discovered by Hachiman, Motoyo could only keep a safe distance and secretly watch the three of them interact from afar.

She noticed that Hachiman and the others didn't go to the cafeteria window to order, but instead went directly to the table. The girl with short, flaxen hair took out a square bento box and placed it on the table, its shape being very similar to the one in her hand.

In that instant, Su Shi felt a sense of frustration that her rightful place had been invaded.

She bit her lip, her emotions churning, and silently left the cafeteria with her lunchbox in hand.

...

"Hachiman, what are you daydreaming about?"

Nijika waved her chopsticks in front of Hachiman, trying to get his attention.

Nishimiya Shoko, standing to the side, pitifully pulled out her notebook: "Don't you like it, Hachiman-kun?"

The bento box contained some traditional Japanese sweets, which Grandma Nishimiya specially made last night for her to bring to school and share with her classmates.

One box had already been given to other classmates before lunch break, and she wanted to share the remaining box with her best friend.

"Ah, sorry."

Hachiman gazed into the distance, thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."

"Okay, hurry up, or Shoko-chan and I will eat all these snacks." Nijika shook her head and gave a mischievous smile.

Hachiman paused for a moment, then waved his hand: "It's okay, you guys eat first, no need to wait for me."

"Oh, I was just kidding." As if remembering something, Nijika took Nishimiya Shoko's small hand. "Ah, if Hikigaya-kun tries to run away again, I... and Shoko-chan definitely won't let you off the hook today!"

Shoko Nishimiya, who had been forcibly pulled over, understood the unspoken meaning in her best friend's words and then nodded cutely.

"Hachiman, it's time for Hao Hao to eat!"

No, why would he run away if there's a free lunch? Seriously...

"Oh, I'll be back in time."

After saying this, Hachiman walked in the direction where the figure had disappeared.

After weaving through the crowded streets, it wasn't long before they found Ichinose Motoyo hiding in the corridor between the special administration building and the teaching building.

So, what is this guy doing here?

At this moment, Su Shi did not notice that there were other people in the corridor; all her thoughts were focused on what had just happened.

Those two girls must be classmates of Hachiman, right?

Ah, why did I run away over something like this? I should have just gone up and greeted them.

Will Hachiman eat with them every day from now on?

Will there still be a place for me next to him in the future?

First came confusion, then fear began to spread through Su Shi's heart.

Just as the girl was sinking into a swamp called possessiveness, the increasingly clear footsteps pulled her back to reality.

"Who?"

I looked up blankly and met a pair of familiar eyes.

Then, as if an electric current had flashed through her body, Su Shi's face immediately turned red: "Why is Hachiman here?"

"Well, I was just passing by."

Hikigaya blinked and saw two unopened bento boxes placed neatly on Sose's lap.

"I was just passing by."

The smugness and hope in her heart vanished instantly. Su Shi murmured with some disappointment, "I once thought that Hikigaya had abandoned the other two for my sake."

It turns out she misunderstood. Come to think of it, why would Hachiman leave his two other friends behind to come looking for him?

Su Shi revealed a sad expression and slowly lowered her head.

"Yeah, I guessed so."

"...Aren't you going to eat in the cafeteria?"

Su Shi squeezed the lunchbox a little deeper, suppressing the grievances in her heart, and unconsciously rubbed her fingertips together: "I...I want to eat here today."

Ah, that sounds familiar.

Seeing Su Shi's awkward expression, unwilling to tell the truth, Hachiman sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you this morning that I'm having lunch with other people today."

"Ah, um, it's with classmates, right?" Su Shi gave a forced smile. "It's okay, I can go with Hachiman next time."

Next time?

Honestly, Ichinose Motoyo's family isn't well-off, so I felt really bad asking her to bring me lunch again.

If he had extra pocket money or time, Hikigaya believed it would be more worthwhile to spend it on himself; someone like him didn't deserve so much attention.

With that thought in mind, Hachiman took a deep breath and decided to end this unequal relationship of reciprocity as soon as possible.

“That’s not the issue.” Hachiman shook his head. “Actually, I’ve been thinking about it, and it’s not really good to keep bothering you to make me lunchboxes. From an economic point of view, it’s not worth it at all.”

"I am okay!"

Upon hearing these words, Su Shi immediately raised her head from silence like a kitten reacting to stress, and shouted out with great force.

The atmosphere in the corridor suddenly became somewhat eerie.

Realizing her strange behavior, the girl lowered her head again and nervously hugged the lunchbox to her chest.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

No, don't worry about it.

This reaction was somewhat unexpected for Hachiman. How should I put it? This kid is really kind.

Although Hikigaya is also the type to repay kindness, he could never do what Ichinose Motoyo did.

Perhaps it's a bit too obsessive?

"Besides, your cooking skills have improved a lot during this time, so I think we should stop with the tasting."

"No... there's absolutely no such thing as improved cooking skills."

Su Shi's insecure voice grew softer and softer.

"Well, if you ask me, Ichinose-san, your cooking skills are already SSR level for your age group."

Although I'm still a bit behind... By the way, am I considered a primary school student?
