The Hikigaya couple's youthful love story is definitely not a problem.

Hachiman and Haruno were arguing, while Yukino watched helplessly as the two of them would bicker whenever they met, and they seemed to enjoy it.

Shiromaru quietly walked over, looking somewhat embarrassed at the two who were still arguing. He could only walk to Yukino's side and whisper something in her ear.

Is that so? I understand. You can go back and get back to your work.

Yukino nodded and said to Shirokai.

But... this matter is very important. If it's not handled properly, we might be ridiculed for this cultural festival.

Even the usually mild-mannered Shiromaru was getting impatient, extremely dissatisfied with Sagami Minami, who was more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything.

It's okay, my sister was prepared long ago.

Yukino comforted her.

As Hachiman predicted, the only way Sagami Minami could retaliate was to use her position as the executive committee member of the cultural festival to disappear immediately after obtaining the list of winners for the Excellence Award and the Regional Award.

This is to make people look for you, increase your sense of presence, and then be found unintentionally in the process of everyone's continuous search.

I said I was just a little nervous and wanted some fresh air, but I ended up losing track of time.

For reasons like that, they were then happily invited back by others.

Finally, she easily completed her original task. With just this small action, she was able to get noticed, which was something that had been overlooked all along. It couldn't be easier.

The advantage of doing this is that not only can we easily seize the cultural festival achievements that Yang and others have worked hard to obtain, but others also cannot easily blame us.

After all, she's a girl, and it's her first time being the executor of such a grand event, so it's understandable that she was a little nervous. Besides, she didn't make any irreparable mistakes, so there won't be any punishment; at most, she'll just receive a few verbal criticisms.

But this time, things won't go as Sagami Minami wishes, and others won't have to go to great lengths to find her.

After Yukino sent Shirogane away, she separated the two who were still bickering and told them the information Shirogane had just received.

Ha, I knew it.

Hachiman laughed.

"Did I keep a copy of everything I told you to pay attention to?" Xiang Yang asked.

Ah, it's in my bag.

As Yang Nai spoke, she took a document out of her bag.

Yep.

Hachiman took it, glanced at it a few times, nodded, and handed it back to Hinano.

Once Ye Shan and the others come down, you can go up. Just say what I taught you.

Ugh, you're such a jerk. I suddenly feel so sorry for that... what was that woman's name again? Yang Nai thought back.

Forget it.

Yang waved indifferently, and seeing Hayama and the others walk back from the stage, he got up and went over.

Well done.

Patting Hayama on the shoulder, Yono took the fully charged microphone from Shiromaru, tidied her appearance, and walked onto the stage with a perfect smile.

Dear students and teachers of Zongwu High School, and all the visitors who have taken time out of their busy schedules to visit.

Yang said with a smile.

After delivering his closing remarks using the cards in his hand, Yang Nai looked at the somewhat agitated audience and said...

After all that, you might still not know who I am.

Well, let me introduce myself. I am a student from the previous few years of Zongwu High School, so you could say I am your senior.

Some of you may be wondering why I'm hosting this closing ceremony.

We are actually quite helpless, because this was originally the task of Executive Committee Chairperson Sagami Minami, but we just found out that she has nowhere to be found now.

Therefore, I had no choice but to accept this critical mission and help my juniors overcome this difficult time.

Without further ado, here is the list of winners for the Excellence Award and the Regional Award, which everyone has been eagerly anticipating.

Hachiman didn't listen to Yono announce the award winners; instead, he looked at the school leaders' livid faces from backstage.

Sagami Minami, the cultural festival is over.

Hachiman murmured softly, took Yukino's hand, and quietly left amidst the continuous applause and cheers.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Benefits of Typhoons

Hachiman knocked on the door of the faculty office, but no one responded for a long time. So, he gripped the handle in confusion and opened the door with a little force.

Instinctively stealthy, the hard-soled indoor shoes made no sound on the floor. He turned around and gently closed the door, then silently walked up behind Hiratsuka Shizuka.

At this moment, Jing Ke was slumped in her chair, wearing headphones and staring intently at the computer screen, humming a little tune with a carefree air.

Hachiman secretly glanced at the anime playing on the computer, "Toradora!"

She reached out and gently rubbed Hiratsuka Shizuka's head, startling Shizuka so much that she jumped up with a "Yay!"

Turning around, I saw Hachiman shaking the bag in his hand before closing the Nico website with a blush on his face.

"Are you trying to die?!" Hiratsuka Shizuka feigned anger to hide her true feelings.

How can you blame me? Didn't you call me and ask me to buy you food?

Hachiman, looking completely innocent, handed her the bag he was carrying.

Hmm... Hiratsuka Shizuka had nothing to say, and made a small, unclear sound before taking the bag from Hachiman's hand.

Pork chop rice and tempura noodles, a sincere price of 2,400 yen.

Hachiman moved his hands towards Hiratsuka Shizuka.

"You're so rich, why would you care about this?" Hiratsuka Shizuka ignored Hachiman and acted like a scoundrel.

Please have pity on teachers, who are a low-income group.

Low-income people driving supercars, those cars cost tens of millions.

Hachiman thought of Hiratsuka Shizuka's luxury car and muttered to himself.

Did Yang Nai tell you that?

Hachiman sat down opposite Hiratsuka Shizuka without any hesitation.

Oh, what happened? We were just chatting.

Hiratsuka Shizuka opened the bag and took out the greasy ramen first.

He used his teeth and right hand to break apart the disposable wooden chopsticks, revealing a hearty and uninhibited demeanor.

"I'm starting!" he mumbled, already beginning to eat.

Hmm, would you like some? This ramen is pretty good.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked up at Hachiman, who was staring at her, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.

No, I've already eaten.

Hachiman responded casually, but his eyes remained fixed on Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was struggling with the enormous portion of ramen.

Oh, I see.

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded, then buried her head and continued swallowing.

After Hiratsuka Shizuka finished eating the enormous portion of ramen from Hachiman that looked so filling, she naturally opened the packaging for the pork cutlet rice bowl.

Hachiman's eyes twitched as he watched Hiratsuka Shizuka keep stuffing food into her little mouth.

Ugh, I'm so full, I can't eat anymore.

Hiratsuka Shizuka looked at the pork cutlet rice bowl, which was still a third of the way from being served, with a troubled expression.

Okay, finish eating it.

He handed it to Hachiman and also stuffed the chopsticks in his hand into his mouth.

Huh? Hachiman stared blankly at the adorable Shizuka in front of him.

It's a waste to eat the pork chop instead of the rest of the meat.

Is that the point? Hachiman wondered to himself, only to find Hiratsuka Shizuka already leisurely smoking a cigarette.

Hachiman nonchalantly put the pork chop into his mouth, but suddenly noticed an unopened pair of disposable chopsticks in the bag. He quickly finished eating and pretended not to know anything as he cleaned up the trash.

Hachiman.

Hiratsuka Shizuka spoke languidly.

"What is it?" Hachiman sat down warily, asking somewhat guiltily.

What can I say to you? You've gone too far this time.

Staring at Hachiman with a complicated expression, Hiratsuka Shizuka's tone carried a hint of resentment.

I don't think I did anything wrong. It happened so suddenly, and it was the best choice.

Hachiman looked calmly at Shizuka.

So? Are you satisfied now? Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed.

Do you know what punishment the school gives to Sagami?

Not sure.

Hachiman said he had absolutely no interest in knowing any of this.

Even if the executive committee chairman doesn't do a good job, it doesn't really matter; the guaranteed admission qualification will still be there. This is the confidence that Soubu High School has as a top high school in Chiba City.

However, given Sagami's situation, let alone being recommended for university admission, she might even have trouble getting into a regular university.

In a social environment like Japan, do you know what the label on her file means? Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Hachiman calmly stared into Hiratsuka Shizuka's eyes.

This incident was less a form of revenge by Hachiman and more a consequence of Sagami Minami's own actions. Hachiman simply blew a breath on Sagami Minami, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, and she jumped off with the breeze.

They act impulsively and regret it afterwards, but they never repent for their actions. Instead, they believe that their current situation is due to the actions of others.
