The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

"Yuigahama-san...."

Having discovered her target, Hiratsuka Shizuka grinned, revealing a 'kind' smile on her face.

"Let's go to the office and have a proper talk about your mock exam results."

Chapter 103 I'll come again tonight

Despite pretending not to exist, Yui Yuigahama ultimately couldn't escape Shizuka Hiratsuka's clutches.

As the cries faded into the distance, only Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinoshita remained in the Service Club.

【......】

After a moment of silence, Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly closed the book and stood up.

"I'm going back..."

After glancing at Yukinoshita, who was still reading by the window, Hachiman Hikigaya said something and then picked up his schoolbag and left the Service Club.

Outside the corridor window, the sun still hung brightly in the sky.

Because he left early, Hachiman Hikigaya could see various clubs exercising on the playground through the window as he passed by.

The most eye-catching one was undoubtedly Hayato Hayama, wearing a red jersey in the very center of the field.

His blond hair shone brightly in the sunlight.

He dribbled the ball with his toes, passing several people amidst the cheers of countless female fans on the sidelines, before unleashing a powerful shot!

The ball went in!

The entire playground immediately erupted in cheers.

"No wonder he's the most popular guy among the boys at Soubu High School..."

Even inside the teaching building, the deafening sound still made Hachiman Hikigaya's eardrums ache.

Leaning against the window, he watched Hayama celebrate a goal with his teammates.

Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but click his tongue. The combination of a handsome guy and a star player on a soccer team was indeed the quintessential protagonist in a realistic youth anime.

Just as Hachiman Hikigaya was feeling sentimental, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Iroha Isshiki out of the corner of his eye.

She was running excitedly toward Hayama Hayato, holding a water bottle in one hand and a towel in the other.

However, before she could even reach Hayato Hayama, another group of Hayato's female fans had already surrounded him, firmly blocking Iroha Isshiki from the outside.

Looking at the obviously huge fan base, it was clear that the petite Iroha couldn't squeeze in at all.

With a disappointed sigh, Isshiki Hachiman turned and walked towards the second-best player on the soccer team.

Then, seeing the other person's delighted expression, he handed over the item and said a few words of encouragement.

Just when Hachiman Hikigaya thought the matter was over, Iroha Isshiki turned around and went back to get more water and towels.

Not a single member of the football club who had just played was left out.

"That's a very clever move..."

Seeing what Isshiki Hachiman did, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but nod in approval.

Hayato Hayama values ​​harmony among team members, and Iroha's impartial attitude will undoubtedly leave a deep impression on him, much more so than bringing water and towels to make Hayato notice her.

Sure enough, after quickly shaking off his fans, Hayato Hayama returned to the rest area and chatted with Iroha Isshiki for a few minutes.

Although it's unclear what exactly was said, Isshiki Hachiman's expression was noticeably more cheerful than before.

"It's about time we went..."

After glancing at his phone and realizing that the appointed time was approaching, Hachiman Hikigaya gave up on continuing to wait and see.

After retrieving his bicycle from the bicycle shed, he leisurely rode it to the bubble tea shop where he had previously encountered Miura Yumiko.

After parking the car, I went inside the store.

After ordering a glass of iced water amidst the surprised looks of the shop assistant, Hachiman Hikigaya sat quietly on an empty seat, waiting for Iroha Isshiki's arrival.

A dozen minutes later, Isshiki Yu burst into the milk tea shop, panting heavily.

After looking around, Isshiki Hachiman Hikigaya spotted him and walked towards him apologetically.

"I'm sorry, I'm late because of the soccer club..."

"Ok, I know"

After patiently waiting for Isshiki Hachiman to finish speaking, he nodded calmly and then pushed the glass of 'ice water' that he had just ordered, whose ice had already melted, in front of Isshiki Hachiman.

"this is?"

Seeing the water glass that Hachiman Hikigaya pushed in front of her, Iroha Isshiki looked up at him in confusion.

"It's just ice water that I prepared for you in advance."

"Hachiman Hikigaya explained calmly."

"Senior, it's like you knew I'd be late, and you even ran here..."

Without the slightest hesitation, Isshiki picked up the water glass on the table and drank the cold water in one gulp.

The cool sensation flowed through my body along with the moisture, instantly dispelling the heat from all parts of my body.

Isshiki let out a comfortable moan, then, while fiddling with the empty cup in her hand, curiously asked Hachiman Hikigaya why he had prepared cool water for her.

"It's good for everyone in the football club, aren't you afraid you won't have enough energy?"

Looking at Iroha Isshiki with a slight sheen of sweat on her forehead, Hachiman Hikigaya asked in return.

"Hey, senior, you saw it?"

Upon hearing Hachiman Hikigaya's words, Iroha Isshiki's face froze for a moment, then instantly relaxed.

"Many people, including Hayama, saw it."

Hachiman Hikigaya watched as the girl's expression changed repeatedly before finally returning to calm.

"That's true, it's perfectly normal for someone other than Hayama-senpai to see you doing something like that..."

Taking a deep breath, Isshiki Hatake calmed herself down and comforted herself with her usual cheerful voice.

"I have no intention of getting involved in your affairs with Hayama."

"I just wanted to remind you not to spread your attention too much."

After all, Hachiman Hikigaya is about to enter Iroha Isshiki's dream.

If Isshiki Hachiman's thoughts become too scattered and he has some strange dreams, it will be very troublesome for him.

..........

After giving Isshiki Iroha a brief reminder to concentrate, the two did not linger at the bubble tea shop.

After all, neither of them wanted to be seen by others meeting in private.

The two went straight to Iroha's house, a detached two-story house.

Having confirmed the address of the Iroha family and obtained the location of her bedroom from her, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately took his leave.

"Aren't you going in, senior?"

Iroha Isshiki, who had already taken out her keys and was ready to invite Hachiman Hikigaya into the house, was stunned when she heard that Hachiman Hikigaya was leaving.

"You can't sleep either, right? I'll come again tonight."

Hachiman Hikigaya had no intention of staying at Iroha Isshiki's house as a guest until she went to sleep.

The reason he arranged to meet with Iroha Isshiki was simply to confirm the exact location of her house so he wouldn't go to the wrong place at night.

Now that Isshiki Hachiman's exact address has been confirmed, there is no longer any need for him to stay any longer.

After leaving a message reminding him not to close the windows at night, he rode off on his bicycle.
