Chapter One: The First Encounter

My name is Hachiman Hikigaya. I am an ordinary high school student in Class F of the second year at Soubu High School in Chiba City. To say I am ordinary would be an understatement, since no ordinary high school student is like me, still without any friends even in my second year.

So what's the difference between this and junior high?! You bastard.

I was full of anticipation back then, and even arrived an hour early on the day of the entrance ceremony.

However, the result was that I kept thinking about that dream that lasted for a week, which was both incredibly real and absurd.

My high school life as seen from a third-person perspective.

However, the scenario in my dream would never happen to me. As a great recluse, Hachiman Hikigaya has no need for friends at all.

Compared to other ordinary people who are excluded from various social groups and end up feeling sorry for themselves, I was someone who excluded everyone else from social interaction from the very beginning.

Because there is no interaction, there will be no breakdown of the relationship due to various problems in the future, and therefore those awkward situations will not occur.

And this is the most perfect relationship between people.

As for the so-called marriage in my dream, it will never happen to someone like me. If I really do get married in the future, then my partner will definitely be Komachi.

Just as Hachiman was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a whistling sound in his ears. Before he could react, a fist with a Doppler effect slammed into Hachiman's diaphragm.

噗呃

With a painful groan, Hachiman's already hunched figure curled up even more, his knees bending downwards in an attempt to lessen the pain in his body.

While brushing her disheveled hair from her forehead, Ms. Hiratsuka said in a helpless tone: "What were you thinking about while I was talking to you? Your dead fish eyes are getting worse and worse."

Hachiman clutched his stomach, breathing slightly, looking at the calm Shizuka-sensei before him, as if the punch that had almost killed him hadn't been thrown by her.

I clearly asked you to write an essay on "Reflecting on High School Life," right? Most people would reflect on the past when they see this kind of topic, so why does it sound like a crime warning to you?

No, if the teacher had explained the question clearly, I would have strictly followed the instructions.

Besides, isn't this how most high school students feel these days? As long as they have the excuse of youth, they can gloss over any harm they cause to others.

So you mean it's my fault? And Hachiman, you're still all alone, you haven't joined any clubs, and you don't have any friends to hang out with, right?

No, I'm just not used to having people I'm too close to.

That means there isn't any.

As Ms. Jing pondered, she tapped the cigarette filter on the table, then pulled a disposable 100-yen lighter from her breast pocket.

The smoke made Ms. Jing's eyes even more moist.

Hmm, judging from this, Teacher Jing is quite a beauty, but why do I hear she keeps failing at blind dates? I feel like you're thinking something very rude.

No, no, you're overthinking it.

With a sigh that carried a strong smell of smoke, Hiratsuka Shizuka stubbed out her cigarette in the nearly overflowing ashtray and slowly stood up, supporting herself on the armrests of the chair.

I've thought about your punishment, Hikigaya-kun. Rewriting the essay is fine, right?

of course.

If it were just a matter of rewriting, it would be an incredibly easy task for me.

A simple online search yields a ton of finished products for me to copy.

That's good. Ms. Hiratsuka, who had already reached the door, turned around and looked at me. Then she said five words that changed my life: "Come with me quickly."

Where to...where to?

You'll find out soon enough. Don't ask so many questions now, just come with me.

Is this some kind of punishment to make me do strenuous labor, like helping other clubs move tables and chairs? I might as well just say I'm not feeling well and can't do physical labor.

Um... Hiratsuka-sensei...

Huh? What are you doing?

Well, I have a back problem, it's called Hepes①.

You brat, can I send you to the police station as a scumbag student who wants to sexually harass a teacher?

Wh...what...?

You mean Henia②? Hiratsuka-sensei looked at me with the same expression she had for Aqua.

Don't worry, you won't be asked to do any physical labor. Just come with me without worry.

Hachiman followed Hiratsuka Shizuka through the courtyard. As usual, the courtyard, which seemed to be a sanctuary for people with romantic relationships, was filled with the sweet and sour smell of love. Men and women were eating lunch together, and some couples were even feeding each other.

Oh, please turn around and take a look at Jingkeai.

The killing intent emanating from him had even materialized. Speaking of which... could this be Susanoo? Hey, teacher, your surname is actually Uchiha, right?

Stimulated, Hiratsuka Shizuka quickened her pace across the courtyard, so Hachiman had no choice but to stop his wild thoughts and jog after her.

Ah, this is it. Teacher Jing finally stopped in front of a classroom with no signs and looked as if it had been abandoned.

However, Hachiman's expression froze the moment he saw this, his face filled with an unnatural tension.

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't notice Hachiman behind her, whose palms were sweating and whose thighs were trembling. She knocked on the classroom door in front of her and opened it before anyone inside could respond.

The scene that appeared in Hachiman's eyes was a girl quietly reading a book in the gentle breeze. She was a girl with delicate hands, skin like cream, a neck like a cicada's, teeth like melon seeds, a beautiful forehead and eyebrows, a charming smile, and beautiful eyes. She was reading quietly in the sunlight.

She gives off a feeling that even the end of the world cannot disturb her.

As if sensing the approaching person, the girl closed the paperback in her hand.

He looked helplessly at the dashing beauty in the white coat in front of him.

Hiratsuka-sensei, I think I asked you to knock before coming in.

I knocked, but I didn't get a response from you.

Never mind, what brings you here today?

Ah, it's nothing serious, I just wanted you to help correct the bad temper of a certain guy.

Hachiman, what are you doing not coming in?

Upon hearing the name, the girl holding the paperback trembled slightly.

Then, Hachiman, with a complicated expression, slowly walked in. At this moment, Hachiman Hikigaya and Yukino Yukinoshita met for the first time in real life.

Chapter Two: Department of Service

As Hachiman entered, Yukino's expression became increasingly strange, and her originally fair face was covered with an unnatural blush.

So Hiratsuka-sensei was talking about you, Hikigaya-kun. I was wondering who the teacher would describe as having a bad personality.

Upon hearing Yukino's words, Hachiman's pupils contracted abnormally for a moment, and then he said in a seemingly calm tone: "Yukino-san, I know you. Your Class 2-J is the only international liberal arts class at Soubu High School. In a school where the deviation score is already extremely high, it is two or three points higher than that of ordinary classes. And you, as one of the best in the school, are always the first in the school, whether it is a small test or a final exam."

And you yourself are a beautiful girl, and you are famous throughout the school.

So, it's not surprising that I know your name, Yukinoshita.

However, as someone with average looks, in an ordinary class, whose grades weren't particularly good, and who wasn't very popular within the class.

So, may I ask you, how did Yukinoshita know my name?

Faced with the aggressive Hachiman, Yukino became increasingly flustered and could only wave her hand in a panic.

Finally, forcing a calm expression, she said: "Is it really that hard for me to remember someone's name?"

Is that so? Maybe I'm just overthinking it.

Hey, you two have been saying some strange things since just now. Are you pretending that I, the teacher, don't exist?

Seeing the two of them going on and on, Hiratsuka Shizuka couldn't help but speak up and remind them.

By the way, judging from the way you two were talking just now, did you know each other from the beginning?

No, not at all.

As soon as they finished speaking, Yukino and Hachiman simultaneously denied it, and then turned to glare at each other.

Well, it would be even better if you two knew each other. The main reason I came here today is to ask Yukino to help Hachiman deal with his terrible personality.

Given his current situation, the teacher is genuinely worried about suddenly receiving a call from Hachiman in prison, asking the teacher to visit him or something.

When Hachiman heard Hiratsuka Shizuka say that, he couldn't help but purse his lips.

What's wrong? Am I wrong? Look around the entire General Affairs Department, who else is like you who doesn't even have a single decent friend?

Upon hearing Hiratsuka Shizuka's words, Hachiman merely pointed indifferently at Yukino.

From what I understand, the Yukino you asked seems to be like me, not having a single friend she can talk to yet.

Huh? Hearing Hachiman's sophistry, Hiratsuka Shizuka blew on her fist like a samurai wiping his beloved sword.

So, you don't want to listen to your teacher?

No! Your will is the standard by which I act.

Hachiman, who didn't want to die in high school, immediately admitted defeat to Hiratsuka-sensei.

That's good. From today onwards, you are a member here. Yukinoshita will be your club president from now on. If you have any questions, you can talk to her. I have to go now.

Ignoring Hiratsuka Shizuka who turned and left, the atmosphere between Yukino and Hachiman became increasingly awkward without the mediation of others.

After a long silence of more than ten minutes, Yukino broke the strange stalemate by speaking first: "Hachigaya-kun, aren't you tired of standing? Do I have to bring you a chair before you can sit down?"

Huh? Oh, after a very brief moment of thought about whether to step with his left or right foot first, Hachiman jumped in place, then pretended that his leg was numb from standing and moved his ankle before walking to the place where the tables and chairs were piled up and carrying down a stool.

After placing the stool a full ten pans away from the snow, Hachiman slowly sat down and put his schoolbag next to his right foot.

Turning his head to look at Yukino, who had shifted her attention back to the book in her hand, Hachiman felt... the girl's face seemed to be getting redder and redder.

As the blush gradually spread to the girl's delicate neck, Yukino finally lost her patience.

What are you looking at? You've been staring at people like a pervert. I feel like my whole being is being defiled by your lewd gaze.
