Betraying a friend...

This kind of thing...

He nodded vigorously and said, "I understand, Hiratsuka-sensei."

At the same time, after agreeing, he sincerely apologized to Hikigaya Hachiman for a second in his heart.

Under the gaze of Hikigaya Hachiman that said, "I knew you were not trustworthy," Aokisuke walked out of the teacher's office with Hikigaya Hachiman with an apologetic look.

......

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka said that she would ask Aokisuke to escort Hikigaya, out of a sense of responsibility and a little worry that Aokisuke would abuse his power for personal gain, Shizuka Hiratsuka decided to go with him and explain the situation to Yukinoshita Yukino after some consideration.

The teacher's office is on the second floor, on the same floor as the second-year Class F where Aoki Ke is studying. The service department is on the far right side of the third floor, a short distance between the two classrooms.

It took about three minutes to walk up the stairs to the far right side of the third floor.

Arriving at the entrance of the Service Club, Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was walking in front, opened the classroom door with a loud bang.

At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was sitting in the classroom, frowned slightly and looked up. After noticing that it was Hiratsuka Shizuka, she sighed helplessly.

She gave up the idea of ​​persuading Shizuka Hiratsuka to knock on the door before entering. After all, Aoki Suke, who came to the service club to sign in every Thursday and Friday, would deliberately open the door without knocking just to find fault - she was somewhat used to it.

Getting used to this thing is really scary.

But one thing is for sure, although it is a habit, we must still maintain a cold attitude.

After seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka, Aoki Suke, and a strange boy following behind them, Yukinoshita Yukino raised her eyes, shifted her gaze from the paperback in her hand, and spoke in a cold voice,

"Hiratsuka-sensei, what's up with bringing this 'second in grade' and... this 'dead-eyed classmate' to the Servant Club?"

The second in the grade is Aoki Suke, and the student with dead fish eyes is Hikigaya Hachiman.

The nickname is very vivid. After hearing what Yukinoshita Yukino said, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help laughing.

Then she quickly stopped smiling, coughed lightly, and explained,

"Look, Yukinoshita, I have a problem student here. He's a terrible person, withdrawn and sad, and has no friends at school. If left alone, he'll probably become a parasite that harms the world... So, I've asked the Service Club to reform his personality. You can consider it a contribution to society."

Hiratsuka Shizuka's voice fell.

Then, before Hikigaya Hachiman could react, Yukinoshita Yukino in the classroom responded first.

She first glanced at Aokisuke, then shifted her gaze to Hikigaya Hachiman. After a pause, the girl said,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hiratsuka, but I refuse. The Servant Club accepting Aokisuke-kun has already had a huge impact on me. If they accept this dead-eyed guy, the Servant Club will be considered disbanded."

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman twitched the corners of his mouth.

The language used by both of them was quite aggressive and he really couldn't handle it.

A termite that is harmful to the world, a very scary personality, a lonely and sad person, a classmate with dead eyes...

It is really cruel to say this about others. Please change your way of saying it.

Also, what did Hiratsuka-sensei mean when he said 'I have no friends'? Aoki and I are very, very good friends...

The thought of breaking off the friendship that had just arisen in his heart because of Aoki Suke's betrayal suddenly dissipated, and Hikigaya Hachiman refuted the words of the two people in his heart.

But what is the Service Club?

After thinking about it for a while, Hikigaya Hachiman stopped thinking and looked at Aoki Suke with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Aoki, what does the Service Club do?" He asked in a low voice while standing behind Shizuka Hiratsuka.

Aokisuke did not respond immediately. He was thinking about how to respond to Yukinoshita Yukino's unfriendly remarks.

The title of 'second in grade' was undoubtedly a humiliation. The exam hadn't even started yet, let alone the results. He absolutely couldn't accept it.

So there was a pause, and after a few seconds, Aokisuke replied,

"The Service Club, with the idea that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, they consider themselves the strong while providing assistance to the 'weak'...it's a very twisted society."

Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino in the classroom, Aoki Jie spoke, without deliberately lowering his voice, as if he was deliberately speaking to Yukinoshita Yukino.

This guy must have said this on purpose to save face for himself!

Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned for a moment, and just when he wanted to be touched for a moment, before he could fully comprehend his emotions, he heard Aokisuke continue to speak.

"Even though Hikigaya is a pest that harms the world, has a terrible personality, is aloof and sad, and does have dead eyes, but for a 'strong man' to directly criticize a 'weak man' he's only just met...President Yukinoshita is really going too far."

When Aokisuke's voice reached her ears, Yukinoshita Yukino paused for a moment, then shifted her gaze from the library book in her hand and looked at Aokisuke.

Then, she spoke without any emotion in her voice,

"A pest that harms the world, a terrible personality, a loner and a sadist—those were the things Hiratsuka-sensei described me as. I simply said 'dead fish eyes,' out of hatred for evil and a desire to protect myself. Aoki-san doesn't need to attribute all of those descriptions to me."

Glancing at Hiratsuka Shizuka vaguely, Yukinoshita Yukino then spoke again to retort Aoki Suke,

"But speaking of which, if Hiratsuka-sensei's description is correct, then Aoki-san is so eager to defend Hikigaya-san because you two are friends? Birds of a feather?"

After one round of confrontation, the aggressiveness rose to a higher level.

Hikigaya, on the side, had turned pale and shrank into a corner, looking like he didn't want to communicate with anyone.

At this moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't know how to interrupt the confrontation between the two.

However, considering Hikigaya's pitiful appearance at this time, she chose to speak with the idea of ​​comforting him.

"I was exaggerating just now. Hikigaya is actually quite good..."

However, at the moment, the two of them obviously don't care about Mr. Hiratsuka's opinions and thoughts.

The confrontation continues.

After Yukinoshita Yukino finished speaking, Aokisuke paused for a moment.

Then, as if he was preparing to release a powerful move in a fighting game, he took a deep breath and continued to speak.

The voice was also flat and without any emotion, as if he was reading aloud.

"Friendship is something where you don't need to dwell too heavily on a friend's flaws and shortcomings. As smart as you are, President Yukinoshita, I'm sure you've heard the old Chinese saying, 'Be strict with yourself, be lenient with others.' As long as your personalities are compatible and the other person's character is fine, there's absolutely no need to dwell on their shortcomings."

Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino, he paused and continued,

"So, to sum up... President Yukinoshita, you probably don't have many friends, right?"

......

Aoki's words were sharp and aggressive. Relying on his understanding of Yukinoshita Yukino from the anime, he spoke calmly and went straight to the point, with a sense of bravery like Lu Bu who fought three people alone in front of Hulao Pass.

The only difference is that the person he bullied wasn't Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, or Liu Bei, but a sixteen-year-old girl who was about the same age as him...

When Yukinoshita Yukino heard the question with the answer from Aokisuke, she was stunned.

After a moment of silence, she did not respond.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

Hiratsuka Shizuka and Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Aoki Suke with surprise, and then looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with sympathy.

When Aoki Ke saw that Yukinoshita Yukino didn't say anything, he suddenly realized that what he had just said seemed a bit too much.

Yukinoshita Yukino really has no friends, and sometimes the truth hurts the most -

It is indeed not a moral behavior to rub salt into someone else's wounds. Aoki Jie believes that he has a high moral standard and would not do such a thing. Even if he did it subconsciously, he must apologize immediately.

After all, a gentleman does not care about his heart.

Then Aokisuke spoke.

However, before he could say anything, Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been silent for a while, spoke first.

The voice was cold and the tone was icy, but at the same time, there was a strong fighting spirit in the tone.

"Aoki-san, I hope you can maintain this state after the exam next week."

"..."

It was Aokisuke's turn to be silent. The words of apology were stuck on his lips. He was silent for two seconds, and then resolutely swallowed the apology that was about to come out of his mouth.

Looking at Yukinoshita Yukino's confident and fighting spirit, Aoki Jie felt a little lacking in self-confidence.

Although Yukinoshita Yukino reads paperbacks or various strange novels at school every day, Aoki Kei cannot guarantee whether Yukinoshita Yukino will also read paperbacks at home like she did just now.

Who knows, this young lady might be studying till three in the morning at home, and perhaps reading the paperback books at school is just a smokescreen to let her guard down...

After some dark speculation in his heart, Aokijie quickly retracted his wild thoughts.

Although I lack confidence, Lu Xun once said, "Calmness is a kind of life cultivation. Only by remaining calm in the face of change and danger can one achieve great things."

Although he didn't know whether Lu Xun actually said this, Aoki Jie knew that he must not show his weakness at the moment and let his momentum fall behind.

then--

Aoki Jie was silent, then sneered, then spoke calmly,

"I also send this to you, President Yukinoshita. I hope you can maintain your current confidence after taking the exam next week."

Unlike Yukinoshita Yukino's confident tone, Aokisuke's voice had a bit of a timid tone.

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't care whether Aokisuke was bluffing or not. She kept her eyes on Aokisuke's face for a few seconds, then retracted her gaze and looked back at the book in her hand.

The air was silent for a few seconds, and then Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly spoke again.

"I accept your request, Mr. Hiratsuka."

......

The conversation only lasted about ten minutes before Aokisuke left the service club.

Hiratsuka Shizuka followed Aoki Suke's steps, and Hikigaya Hachiman also followed the two of them because he really didn't want to stay in that sad place.

Hikigaya went downstairs carrying his guitar bag and left first. When Aokisuke was about to leave, Hiratsuka Shizuka called him again.

I followed Shizuka Hiratsuka back to the teacher's office. Just as I was wondering what else was going on, Teacher Hiratsuka took out a piece of manuscript paper filled with words from her desk.

With a kind smile on his face, Mr. Hiratsuka spoke.

"'Longing to Become a Government Vampire'... Hey Aoki, are you General Aoki?"

"..."

Aoki Jie was silent, suspicious, and frightened, and finally chose to let go.

He was trying to change the subject.

"Ah, so you've seen that movie too..."

-------Dividing line--------

ps: This is a 4000-word chapter. I saw some friends asking in the comment section whether it will be cut... Don't worry, this book will definitely have an ending and will not be cut.

Chapter 46 Aoki Jie explained seriously

Shizuka Hiratsuka has indeed watched "Magical Girl Love," although considering her age and status, it's somewhat inappropriate for her to watch this anime...

Anyway, let's not talk about anime for now. After being criticized by Hiratsuka Shizuka and asked to rewrite the essay, Aoki Jie left the teacher's office.

It was mentioned in the Service Club that the exam for the bet with Yukinoshita Yukino would start in about a week, and after a week and about a month, the deadline for submissions to the "Rock Band Project" organized by PVC Records would also be approaching.

Although he is not very confident about the exam which is only a week away, Aoki is surprisingly confident about PVC's rock band plan.

In fact, the band's ensemble level is not bad at the moment -

Because they have been training in ensemble, various techniques and music theory since a month ago, the band's level has been steadily improving since the beginning. With continuous progress, the band is much better than before.

There is about a full month left, and Aokisuke believes that the band will be able to perform a perfect ensemble before the project submission period ends.

But before that...

After a sharp verbal conflict between him and Yukinoshita Yukino at the Servant Club and being lectured by Shizuka Hiratsuka, that afternoon, Aoki Suke carried his guitar, took the tram and headed to the livehouse.

The weather today was pretty good until school was over in the afternoon, with the temperature being just right and the sunshine being just right. However, after Aoki Jie left the teaching building with his guitar on his back, it suddenly started to rain for no apparent reason.

Aokisuke had the illusion that God was targeting him for some unknown reason. He was lost in thought while riding the train, and then he jogged all the way to the livehouse after arriving in Shimokitazawa.

Because it was Monday, the girls in the band didn't arrive particularly early.

While [STARRY] hasn't opened yet, the few of them practiced for a while.

The current ensemble will no longer have any major mistakes, but there will be some minor problems occasionally, but these are not serious at the moment.

Recently, whether Aokisuke was teaching Kita Ikuyo guitar or practicing with her like now, he always felt that Kita Ikuyo looked at him in a somewhat strange way;
