In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

So, does synthesis mean randomly selecting one of the above impressions that make up the [label] as the base, and thus creating the so-called props?

That is to say, randomly select one from the following impressions: [older single woman, smoking, drinking and racing, fighting skills, but a good teacher], and then combine them to create the corresponding props?

The fragment of Snow Under the Snow next to it can be synthesized into more than just ice and snow items.

It’s just that the number of times he has synthesized as an example is too few, so he didn’t draw the new type of props synthesized with her other “impressions”?

And what is the first impression that comes to mind about Yukinoshita...

Absolutely correct?

Yukinoshita Mushino?

Anyway, this seemingly accidental loss seemed to have allowed him to discover some synthetic rules.

While thinking, Xia Yan unconsciously dragged a fragment of Xueshita from the panel and placed it on the main seat, but before he could continue the experiment.

He heard Yukinoshita and the other person next to him finally talking about the topic that Hikigaya had always wanted to know: what kind of evil club is the Service Club?

At this time, Shizuka Hiratsuka had already left, leaving the space to the two...three students present.

“Rich people who give to the poor out of compassion are called volunteers.”

Yukinoshita had stood up at some point, slowly walked to the edge of the window, folded her arms beneath her chest, which was as flat as the Siberian plains, and as if gazing into the unknown distance, she chanted loudly:

"We extend a helping hand to those in need, but this doesn't mean unconditional help. Rather, it means enabling others to achieve self-independence and the ability to find relief. This is the purpose of our club's activities."

"To put it simply."

Listening to the clear voice lingering in his ears, Xia Yan casually interrupted and summarized the above long paragraph into a simple and easy-to-understand sentence in human language: "The Service Club will not help people realize their wishes, but will assist others and let them realize their wishes through their own abilities."

Yukinoshita: “…”

The air... condensed.

Hikigaya's eyelids twitched, and he saw the icy beauty minister standing at the edge of the window, whose entire back was almost filled with "poetry and distant places". She turned around as if she suddenly became very down-to-earth, and stared quietly at someone who was ruining the atmosphere, but seemed unaware that he was concentrating on thinking about something with his head down.

Fortunately, Yukinoshita Yukino had no intention of arguing with him for the time being. After two seconds of silence, she slowly walked over and said to Kusugaya again with a colder tone:

"The reason the club's policy isn't to help others unconditionally is because I've always been cute... and too good."

"what?"

Listening to Yukinoshita's extremely narcissistic words as if it was a matter of course, even though he was shocked by her cold tone before, Hikigaya couldn't help but let out a single sound of disgust.

“…You wouldn’t understand.”

Yukinoshita seemed to have regained some of her poetic and distant melancholic temperament. She spoke in a slightly lowered voice, "When I was in elementary school, my indoor shoes were hidden 60 times. 50 of those times were by girls in my class, 3 times by boys, 2 times by a teacher, and 5 times by a dog."

Although he was distracted by Yukinoshita's words, the content was so profound that Xia Yan couldn't help but say a sentence that many of his predecessors had complained about:

"It's surprising how many times I've been hidden by dogs."

The air is condensed... or rather, it has been frozen!

Hikigaya had just begun to follow Yukinoshita's words and catch up with the current topic, but his thoughts were instantly shattered by Xia Yan's words.

The herbivore's keen awareness of danger seemed to be constantly signaling "Danger! Danger!" to him. This made Hikigaya, while silently moving the stool under his butt further away, also want to plead with someone nearby:

Classmate Xia, please stop talking, don’t you see that the minister is about to shoot deadly lasers from his eyes!

However, with her topic and train of thought nearly shattered, Yukinoshita still tried to struggle a little longer. She took a deep breath and said icy coldly, "Appearance, family background, grades, abilities—it's precisely because you're so outstanding that you're envied, isolated, and targeted."

"But it can't be helped. After all, no one is perfect. Weak and ugly, it's easy to become jealous and then exclude others—humans are such pathetic creatures. But... don't you think it's strange that outstanding people are envied and excluded?"

"That's why I want to change, to change this unreasonable human being and this world."

"So it's not about helping others, but about enabling those in need to become excellent, to be able to solve their own problems, and not to envy others. This is the true meaning of why I founded the Service Club."

"Whoo~"

Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that no one interrupted her, allowing her to finish expressing her ideas in one breath, which really made her feel a lot more relaxed.

however……

Hikigaya no longer wanted to hear this. His mind was now filled with thoughts like, "Busan, do you have any friends?"

As he said this, his eyes were always on Xia Yan beside him, implying: Minister, is this guy your friend? Otherwise...how did he survive until now without you pulling out his intestines and strangling him to death?

"...Well, could you please first define what it takes to be considered friends?" Yukinoshita obviously didn't notice Hikigaya's rather tactful question and just answered him normally.

But...

"People who usually say this kind of thing are those without friends." Without a doubt, Xia Yan was the one who was so brave: "People with friends know that they usually just become ordinary friends naturally."

Wow~, that’s amazing.

Hikigaya opened his mouth slightly and almost sighed out loud. It was not because of Xia Yan’s “friend declaration”, but because he actually saw Yukinoshita with his own eyes today, and he was so angry that a vein popped out on his forehead!

Then, Yukinoshita Yukino's face suddenly calmed down, and she narrowed her eyes in a smile, revealing a beautiful smile as pure and clear as a winter plum blossom. Then she said, "So, Xia Yanjun, who proposed to a female teacher who is almost twice his age, must have a lot of friends, right?"

——But such vicious words came out of the same mouth.

"Propose!?" This is Hikigaya.

"Bang!" This was the noise coming from outside the tightly closed office door. It was made by an unnamed eavesdropping teacher. At the same time, a voice filled with resentment, but suppressed to the point of being barely perceptible, came: "Age...twice..."

"friend?"

This is Xia Yan: "..."

Yukinoshita launched a weak point attack, which was very effective. She successfully shot down Xia Yan and accidentally destroyed two unrelated and related personnel, but...

Xia Yan glanced to his side, watching two fragments of ice blue and crimson red, one floating in from the side and the other swaying through the door of the department office.

[Emotional Fragments: Yukinoshita Yukino's Dislike]

[Emotional Fragments: Hiratsuka Shizuka's Resentment]

He tilted his head: It seems like, I made money?

Chapter 5: Unrelated Outsiders

"Ah? Hiratsuka-sensei, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

Yuigahama Yui looked at a teacher she knew in the corridor. She was covering her head, making a "hush" gesture in front of her cherry lips in panic, and was carefully making strange movements to leave the spot.

Although she was a little confused, seeing that she kept waving her hands and didn't seem to be in any trouble, Yuigahama Yui didn't bother to investigate further. Instead, she reached out and opened the door of the old classroom in front of her.

"Sorry to bother you~"

Yuigahama, who was a little nervous, greeted and saw the moment she opened the door:

Yukinoshita Yukino, who was standing by the window as if she was emitting cold air with a forced smile, Xia Yan, who for some reason became happy after being criticized, and Hikigaya Hachiman, who was huddled in the corner and shivering like a hamster... This is the current situation of the Service Club.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xia Yan also looked up. She had short light peach-colored hair that reached her shoulders tied into a bun at the upper right corner of her head, and two big round buns stuffed on her chest, making it a bun with three buns inside.

But then, he saw this lively girl, after opening the door and entering, suddenly take two steps back in confusion, looking around outside the office, obviously looking for a non-existent house number, with a look on her face as if she was deeply doubting whether she had come to the wrong place.

But she was worthy of being Yuigahama Yui. After stroking her bright peach-colored short hair in confusion, her attention was immediately diverted when she caught sight of a figure in the club room: "Ah! Why is Xiaoqi here?!"

Oh wow, the service club trio is complete.

Hearing another familiar line, Xia Yan glanced in Yuigahama's direction again, and then... nothing happened.

There's nothing much to see. Looking at the awkward expressions on their three faces, I guess even though they even changed their school, the fate between them and the car accident that symbolizes the true beginning of the Oregairu plot probably still happened as usual without much change.

I really don’t know whether I should lament the mockery of fate or the terrifying power of plot correction.

The initial relationship between Yukinoshita, Hikigaya, and Yuigahama, the three members of the service club, can be summarized as follows by Xia Yan:

Yuigahama's dog got lost, and Hikigaya was hit by a car belonging to the Yukinoshita family while trying to save her dog's life.

Well, the plot of one season of anime has ended!

Yes, it was such a simple situation.

But due to various reasons - mainly because Hikigaya was hospitalized after being hit, no one knew the exact identity of the person who hit him or the owner of the dog he rescued;

As for Yuigahama...she was probably too embarrassed to tell Hikigaya directly about this;

Yukinoshita didn't say it explicitly simply because of her awkward personality.

Therefore, when Hikigaya was with the two, he was kept in the dark → discovered the truth → mistakenly believed that the two were friendly to him because of the car accident.

After going through this process, the three of them awkwardly acted out a story that lasted for a season.

The reason why Yuigahama came to the Service Club this time was actually to make some handmade cookies to give to Hikigaya to thank him for saving her dog's life, which resulted in him being injured and hospitalized and delaying his enrollment.

But she didn't expect that Hikigaya was also in this club.

So...

There is really nothing much to say. Neither the people present nor the situation has anything to do with Xia Yan. He is a complete "outsider".

So instead of having the time to pay attention to such things, he might as well count his inventory of fragments.

Xia Yan stretched out his index finger out of boredom and began to point at soldiers on the panel. The first one was:

Hiratsuka Shizuka: 3 fragments

Under the Snow: 2

Megumi Kato: 4 pieces

English pear: 8 pieces

……

"This... is the Service Club, right? I heard it's the club that can fulfill students' wishes?" After the few people got to know each other, Yuigahama spoke hesitantly.

"No, the Ministry can only offer assistance. Whether you want to realize your wish depends entirely on you..."

What Xia Yan didn't expect was that just as Yukinoshita came forward as the head of the service club, his attention was slightly diverted by the content of the commission that Yuigahama began to describe.

Hikigaya moved his stool and sneaked towards him.

Then, when he got closer, Hikigaya also began to understand why Yukinoshita was so angry. He immediately put his hand up to cover half of his face and lowered his voice to remind Xia Yan, "Xia classmate, Xia classmate, your book... is held upside down."

So is that the case? From Yukinoshita's perspective, this brave classmate was holding a book with the cover obviously upside down. While she was distracted and didn't know what she was thinking about, she was subconsciously and rebelliously complaining about her, the minister.

What made her idea of ​​creating a serious atmosphere turn into a cheerful atmosphere throughout the office?

Hikigaya thought to himself with a subtle sense of amusement rising in his heart.

"Huh? Oh~"

Xia Yan was awakened by Hikigaya's voice. When he came to his senses, he saw that he had held the book upside down. He quickly turned the book over, but then he thought about it and closed the light novel with a pink-haired tsundere character with one of Kugimiya's iconic voiceovers on the cover, and put it back into his schoolbag.

Because he noticed that Yukinoshita had already finished the story, and learned that Yuigahama wanted to make handmade cookies, but had no confidence in her craftsmanship, so she came to the Service Club to entrust this matter.

At this moment, they were planning to move to a cooking classroom next door to start practicing.

Xia Yan and Hikigaya packed up their belongings and followed.

Inside the cooking class.

Yukinoshita put on a bright yellow apron and began to instruct Yuigahama, while the two boys sat beside them waiting to test the poison... and taste the food.

Xia Yan pretended to take out the light novel again, glancing towards Yukinoshita. How should I put it...

At this moment, Yukinoshita Yukino had simply tied up her usual long straight black hair, and used the dark red hair tie that was originally tied on her hair to divide the hair in front of her into two bundles and tie them up to let them hang in front of her.

In addition, she was concentrating on demonstrating how to sift flour to Yuigahama, but she didn't even notice that there was some flour on her cheeks. It really gave the impression of a newlywed wife who was cooking seriously.

This also made Xia Yan subconsciously activate the breath blocking skill, and he raised his mobile phone and turned on the camera, wanting to take a picture of this rare "Yukinoshita Yukino. Former Twin Ponytails Good Wife Apron Limited Skin".

He suddenly realized that his behavior at this moment seemed, seemed, probably... a bit like an act that was infinitely close to breaking the law?

Thinking of this, he had no choice but to put down his phone in disappointment.

Just like that, nothing unexpected happened afterwards, and I waited quietly for a while.

"As expected, it's coke."

Under the guidance of Yukinoshita, the cookies made by Yuigahama are freshly baked, and the two boys have to embark on the road of testing poisons.
