The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"In that case, we can help you with special training. However, our tennis skills aren't particularly good, so we can only provide the most basic instruction, is that alright?"

After a moment's thought, Yukinoshita decided to help Totsuka Saika with this favor.

After all, the purpose of the commission was to boost the morale of the entire tennis club, so she had no reason to refuse.

"Ah, thank you!"

Unexpectedly, Yukinoshita agreed to his request so easily, and Totsuka Saika immediately showed a sincere smile.

In an instant, the members of the Service Department seemed to see countless flowers blooming around them.

"It may be offensive, but I still want to ask. Totsuka-kun, are you a boy?"

Seeing that the two people beside her were clearly about to collapse, Yukinoshita covered her face and asked, looking like she was questioning the meaning of life.

"Huh? Of course I'm a boy!"

A look of surprise crossed Totsuka Saika's face.

He was wearing a uniform that represents men, and you could tell he was a boy just by looking at him, right?

No! It's impossible for a typical boy to be cuter than a girl, right?!

Yukinoshita cried out in her heart.

Even Hachiman Hikigaya, that blockhead, couldn't hold on any longer!

Doesn't he realize how much he has harmed the country and its people?

"Ahem, then how about we start the special training at the tennis court tomorrow at noon?"

Pulling her wandering thoughts back, Yukinoshita set a time for helping Totsuka Saika with her special training, and then picked up her teacup.

Serve tea to guests!

If Totsuka Saika were to stay in the Service Club any longer, Yukinoshita was genuinely worried that something might happen to the two girls beside her.

"Then I'll have to bother you tomorrow..."

Seemingly sensing Yukino Yukinoshita's resistance, Saika Totsuka thanked her again before leaving the Service Club.

"call....."

As the classroom door was closed again, Hachiman Hikigaya, who had remained silent from the beginning, breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly he felt a sharp gaze fixed on him.

Turning around, he saw Yukino holding a cup of black tea, looking at him with a half-smile.

"........."

Although he didn't know why, Hachiman Hikigaya had a bad feeling.

........

Leisurely times are always fleeting.

After Totsuka Saika's actions, the Service Club returned to its previous peaceful state after a brief period of unrest.

As the school bell rang, urging students to leave, the three members of the Service Club walked out of the classroom together. After returning the key, they headed out of the school together.

Passing by the playground, the soccer club was still training in the setting sun.

Hachiman Hikigaya stopped his bicycle and looked around the playground, trying to find a familiar figure.

However, after searching around, he still couldn't find Isshiki Yu.

"Looks like he really was fired..."

Looking at the unfamiliar girl who had just appeared in the soccer club's rest area, Hachiman Hikigaya sighed inwardly.

Even though he had agreed to help Isshiki Iroha pursue Hayama as compensation, Hachiman Hikigaya still felt somewhat guilty for causing him to lose his job as football manager.

"Xiao Qi, what are you doing? If you keep doing this, Xiao Xue and I won't wait for you anymore!"

Suddenly, I heard Yui Yuigahama shouting in my ear.

Hachiman Hikigaya turned around and saw Yui Yuigahama and Yukino Yukinoshita standing in front of the school gate waiting for him.

Honestly, we'll be parting ways as soon as we leave school...

He grumbled inwardly, but Hachiman Hikigaya shouted back, "Coming right away!" and then pushed his bicycle toward the two of them.

"Wow, that's so slow! What were you looking at?"

Upon reaching the two, Yui Yuigahama immediately complained, then curiously asked Hachiman Hikigaya why he was watching the playground.

Could it be that he also likes playing football?

"It's nothing, I just think those sports clubs are all pretty hardworking."

Chapter 166 Disheveled Clothes

indeed so.

Even after finishing exams, they still didn't forget club training.

Although the subjects we'll be taking tomorrow are much easier than the previous two, they still require serious preparation.

Someone who can train with such a strong mentality must have excellent academic performance, right?

"Alright, let's go, what's so interesting about this?"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya talk about sports clubs, Yui Yuigahama, who showed no interest in the topic, urged him a few times before pulling Yukinoshita's hand and walking towards the school gate.

"Hey, where's the car that was supposed to pick you up today, Yukinoshita?"

As she walked out of the school gate, Yukino did not say goodbye to the two as usual before getting into a luxury car.

Somewhat confused, Hachiman Hikigaya asked the question directly.

"I sent the driver home first today."

Brushing the strands of hair behind her ear with her hand, Yukino Yukinoshita explained in a declarative tone.

"Then I can walk back with Xiaoxue!"

Upon hearing Yukinoshita's explanation, Yui Yuigahama appeared exceptionally happy.

She put her arm around Yukinoshita's shoulder and rubbed her cheek against him affectionately.

"It's a pity that we live in different directions, and we'll be parting ways in a little while."

Unable to bear Yuigahama Yui's overly enthusiastic behavior, Yukinoshita stated the facts with a troubled expression on her face.

"Oh? Is that so?"

Subconsciously, Yui Yuigahama turned to look at Hachiman Hikigaya, wanting him to confirm whether what Yukinoshita said was true.

"How would I know the answer to that?!"

Seeing Yui Yuigahama looking at him, Hachiman Hikigaya said rather irritably.

He has never been to Yukinoshita's place, so how could he know whether Yukinoshita was lying?

"I always get the feeling that Yuigahama-san is quite dependent on Hikigaya-san..."

Just then, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly spoke up.

Moreover, it incisively pointed out the relationship between Hachiman Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama.

The expressions on their faces froze instantly.

"How could such a thing happen? Xiaoxue, you must have misunderstood!"

Yui Yuigahama, who had absolutely no talent for lying, chuckled awkwardly, clearly unaware of the idiom "to hide something obvious."

"Well, we're classmates after all, so it's normal for her to occasionally ask me for help..."

Compared to Yui Yuigahama, Hachiman Hikigaya appeared much calmer.

After all, it is extremely difficult to keep it from Yukino Yukinoshita.

Instead of wasting a lot of energy trying to cover up the truth, it would be much more satisfying to just admit it openly.

Moreover, there was nothing between him and Yui Yuigahama to begin with.

"Oh right! Speaking of which, we've never been to Xiaoxue's house before. Xiaoxue, can we come to your house?"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya say that their relationship was merely that of classmates, Yui Yuigahama's eyes flashed with disappointment.

However, she quickly cheered up and suggested visiting Yukinoshita's residence.

"this......"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Yukino Yukinoshita's face.

Throughout her life, she has never brought a friend back to her home.

"is it not OK?"

Yui Yuigahama wore a pitiful expression, as if she would cry to Yukinoshita if she disagreed.

"Of course, that's possible..."

Holding her forehead, Yukino Yukinoshita let out a helpless sigh.

For some reason, she found herself unable to refuse Yui Yuigahama's request. What was wrong with her?

"In that case, I wish you both a pleasant time..."

During their conversation, the three of them happened to reach a crossroads where they were to part ways.

Upon hearing that Yui Yuigahama was going to Yukinoshita's house, he got on his bicycle and prepared to ride home next.

However, Yukino Yukinoshita looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Why are you riding your bike? Do you know the way to my apartment building?"

After speaking, Yukino Yukinoshita stared at Hachiman Hikigaya with a questioning look, trying to catch any expression on his face.

After all, with Hachiman Hikigaya's strength, even if he sneaked over at night to spy on her, she wouldn't notice.

"Am I going too?"

Hachiman Hikigaya, unaware that he had been listed as a voyeur in Yukinoshita's mind, was slightly taken aback by Yukinoshita's words.
