The girl kicked the pebbles at her feet and said dissatisfiedly.

"No, please let me go today."

The young man smiled bitterly.

Yang Nai snorted in dissatisfaction.

"But thank you for what happened today!"

After what happened in the coffee shop in the evening, Yang No was naturally not afraid of Ryuen, but she could not withstand the other party's sudden use of such despicable and rogue tactics like a shrew.

If it weren't for Hikigaya, Haruno might have lost face in public today, which would undoubtedly be a shame and would have a bad impact on her image.

But now, the young man took on this humiliation with his own body without any complaints.

Hikigaya didn't answer, just nodded and turned away.

"Are you angry about what I did to you today?"

Suddenly, Haruno's voice came from behind, and Hikigaya froze in his tracks: "If this is about a prank..."

"Not that, but something else."

Yang Nai seemed to have other intentions.

"Why do you ask that?"

Hikigaya had a wry smile on his face.

"Haven't you figured it out already? I asked you out on purpose, and then used you to attract Ryuuen's attention. I used you as a shield."

Yang No looked at the boy's back and took the initiative to tell him the motive behind what happened tonight.

Hikigaya was silent for a few seconds, then sighed, "When did you realize this? And telling you about it won't do you any good. Aren't you afraid that I'll get angry right away?"

Afterwards, Hikigaya did find something strange about what happened in the cafe tonight, but he didn't expect that Haruno would suddenly "explode" at this time.

"Hehe, because I know Hikigaya-kun will definitely find out, so, um, I have to apologize to you quickly and try to get a lighter sentence. Hehe, can I, who 'knows my mistakes and can correct them', get Hikigaya-kun's forgiveness?"

Because he had his back to the girl at the moment, Hikigaya had no idea what expression Haruno had at the moment, but he could already imagine her heartless look in his mind.

"No! And I'm very angry now."

Hikigaya waved his hands, as if he didn't buy Haruno's trick at all, but he still added, "It's getting late, you should go back to the dormitory early."

After saying that, Hikigaya had just taken a step when he was suddenly wrapped tightly by a soft body from behind and the warm breath of a girl came to his ears.

"If that's the case, can you forgive me, Hikigaya-kun?"

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, the boy's face flushed red, and the next second he jumped away suddenly as if he had been electrocuted.

The girl was stunned at first, then she let out a crisp laugh.

Slowly the girl's laughter stopped, and the smile on her face gradually cooled: "I will give you a satisfactory explanation for what happened tonight."

Hikigaya frowned. He naturally understood what Haruno meant and shook his head: "After all, I am the victim. Naturally, I will solve it myself."

Hikigaya thought for a moment and added, "I'll have him come and apologize to you in person."

Having said that, a murderous cold light flashed in Hikigaya's eyes.

To be honest, Hikigaya didn't really care about having coffee splashed on him or being insulted by Ryuuen, or rather, he never really cared about his own affairs.

Since his "rebirth and travel through time" to this world line, the people and things around him have completely changed. Hikigaya has been in a state of "self-abandonment" and even had no interest or desire in this world for a while.

It was not until he unexpectedly met two "familiar people" from the past that he was able to convince himself that "maybe he could try to live."

If Hikigaya now has some kind of weakness, or a reverse scale that absolutely cannot be touched, then what happened tonight... Ryuuen has really pissed off Hikigaya.

What really concerned Hikigaya, or made him angry, was the fact that the other party had hurt Haruno!

This is what Hikigaya cannot tolerate or forgive the most!

Teachers Haruno and Shizuka are the two people Hikigaya values most in this school!

Especially after learning about what happened to Teacher Shizuka, Hikigaya secretly vowed never to let the people she cared about get hurt again, even if it meant going against her own principles and turning into a demon to drag those who tried to hurt them into hell one by one!

For some reason, just for a split second, Yang Noi actually felt a little fear from the boy in front of her?

"Hikigaya..."

Haruno slowly approached Hikigaya, but the boy's face changed drastically. Before Haruno could react, the boy in front of her had already fled in panic, and a girl's silver bell-like laughter came from behind her in the distance.

Chapter 72: A strong man falls from the sky.

On the school road at night, a down-and-out teenager in a thin shirt with some dark stains on his body attracted curious glances from passing students.

Thanks to the strong mentality and expression control that the young man had acquired through years of training, he was able to withstand all kinds of strange looks.

After leaving the laundry, Hikigaya was told by the owner that the large stain on his jacket would take quite some time to clean, at least until the day after tomorrow. Of course, if he paid extra, he could pick it up tomorrow, but Hikigaya decisively refused. After all, the school had already issued another set of uniforms, so he didn't want to be cheated by paying double the price.

The problem of cleaning the coat was solved, but he might have to deal with the stains on the shirt himself. After all, he didn't want to be mistaken for an exhibitionist and taken away by the police.

Not long after, Hikigaya was about to reach the dormitory, but suddenly several dark shadows jumped out and stopped him.

It was Ishizaki and Ibuki whom I had met in the cafe before, as well as a guy named Yamawaki and another unknown guy. I thought they were also students of Class C, but Ryuen was nowhere to be seen.

Hikigaya didn't intend to pay any attention. If the other party dared to take forceful action under surveillance, it would be exactly what Hikigaya wanted.

"Ryuen-san asked us to talk to you about Shiina."

Ishizaki's words forced Hikigaya to stop.

"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go over there."

Ishizaki pointed to the dim path next to him, and Hikigaya fell silent.

From the first day of school, Hikigaya had paid special attention to the location of the school's cameras. After more than a month, he already knew the locations of the school's cameras like the back of his hand. The path Ishizaki pointed out was one of the "blind spots" where there were no surveillance cameras.

There was no need to think too much, as I knew I would be severely beaten once I went in.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Even if you are not a gentleman, you don’t want to be beaten for nothing!

only……

After thinking about it, Hikigaya nodded and followed the guys from Class C in. Hikigaya's straightforwardness surprised Ishizaki and the others. They had been wondering whether to force him to go in, but now it saved them a lot of trouble.

Ishizaki, Yamawaki and the others exchanged a glance, and saw the sarcasm in everyone's eyes. Sure enough... just like Ryuen-san said, the students in Class D are trash. How could they not even see this obvious trap?

As expected, as soon as they entered the dim alley, the other party's true form was revealed, and Ishizaki behind him pushed Hikigaya against the wall.

Hikigaya, feeling a bit pained, was surprised to find that Ryuuen was nowhere to be seen. Was he too disdainful to do it himself? Or was he just being cautious?

"Ryuen-san said you are not allowed to get close to Shiina anymore. Do you understand?!"

Ishizaki followed Ryuen's instructions and warned Hikigaya fiercely.

"Heh, it's not Ryuuen's place to say who I'm with, and Shiina isn't Ryuuen's tool. Do you really think you're a tyrant? When there's no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king."

Hikigaya looked around, but unfortunately he still couldn't find Ryuuen.

"What's with the tiger eating the monkey? What are you talking about with your dead eyes? Anyway, I won't let you get close to Shiina again. I'll beat you up every time I see you!"

Ishizaki said arrogantly.

"Hey, do you know what's going on right now?"

At this time, the guy named Yamawaki grabbed Hikigaya's collar and shouted angrily.

"Do you really think this is a high school for those bad boys out there? Or are you guys just crazy? You guys can only show off in places like this. Outside, you have to cower, tuck your tails between your legs, and act like human beings."

Hikigaya didn't care about the other party's threat at all, and even sneered at it.

And since a beating is inevitable, I have to get back at him verbally.

Hikigaya's words immediately angered everyone present.

"I've been annoyed by your dead fish eyes several times in the library before!"

Yamawaki seemed to be the one who disliked Hikigaya the most among the four.

After all, when Class C was causing trouble for Class A and Class B in the library, Hikigaya had humiliated Yamawaki in person several times, and now it seemed that the other party was planning to take revenge.

"Hey, stop talking nonsense, if you want to do something, just do it now."

Ibuki, who had been watching from a distance, seemed very impatient. She was also the only girl at the scene and did not seem to be actively participating.

Yamawaki sneered and then punched Hikigaya in the stomach. Seeing that Yamawaki had already taken action, Ishizaki and others joined in. Unexpectedly, Hikigaya did not fight back. Before, seeing Hikigaya so arrogant, everyone thought that the other party had some trump card, but now it was obvious that Hikigaya was just bluffing.

"Fuck, it turns out he's just bluffing! Beat him up!"

"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. Long Yuan-san asked us to treat you well!"

"Humph, I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're just tough talk, tougher than my pancakes!"

At the same time, Hikigaya finally realized what that meaningful look in the coffee shop meant before Ryuuen left. Damn, it turned out that he wanted to teach him a lesson here.

But the good news is... at least Yang Noi has returned safely, and she doesn't have to see him looking so embarrassed and cowardly.

Just when Yamawaki, Ishizaki and others were about to take action, a cold female voice suddenly came from outside!

"Ishizaki! What are you doing here?!"

At some point, a girl carrying a plastic bag appeared behind the crowd, her face as cold as ice.

"Shii, Shiina?"

Ishizaki and others looked at Hiyori who suddenly appeared here in astonishment. The same was true for Hikigaya. They had never expected Hiyori to appear suddenly.

"Ishizaki, I'm asking you, what are you doing?!"

Hiyori ran to Hikigaya angrily and stood in front of him like a hen protecting her calves. Everyone could hear the annoyance in Hiyori's tone, and the other party even changed his way of addressing him.

"Uh, we..."

Ishizaki stammered and didn't know how to answer for a moment, and the other boys didn't even dare to make a sound.

"Ishizaki, didn't you tell me you would study hard tonight? What are you doing here now? Are you looking for a fight?!"

Completely different from the soft and innocent Hiyori before, the Hiyori in front of him seemed very strong. Even Ishizaki, Yamawaki and others seemed like bad students being scolded by the teacher and did not dare to refute at all.

The nature of a girl is that she is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. She may seem introverted, socially awkward, and submissive, but she shows immense resilience and strength when facing difficulties.

"And Yamawaki and Oda, you two, have you memorized the English words I sorted out for you earlier?! Didn't I tell you I'd be checking them tomorrow?"

Yamawaki and another boy named Oda's faces froze, they lowered their heads and didn't even dare to look at Hiyori.

"And you, Ibuki!"

The girl with short blue hair who was about to sneak away suddenly froze and stood still.

"Ibuki, do you know that your grades in the midterm exam are very dangerous? I will take time out tomorrow to give you private tutoring."

When facing Ibuki, Hiyori's tone was relatively softer.

"I, I don't want anyone else to control me. I can review on my own. Even if I drop out of school, it's my own business!"

Ibuki retorted forcefully, with an attitude of 'no one can control me'.

Hiyori didn't get angry about this. Instead, she said calmly, "Really? Manabe and the others are studying hard now. By then, you might be the only girl who fails and has to drop out. Ibuki, you don't want to..."

Ibuki's face froze, as if he was having a fierce struggle in his heart. Finally, he bit his lip, snorted coldly and stopped talking.

Ishizaki, Yamawaki, Ibuki and others were like primary school students who had made mistakes when facing Hiyori. They were powerless to resist and could only nod like chickens pecking at rice. It was like tofu in brine, and there was always something else to conquer it.

The originally tense situation turned into a teacher's lecture in the blink of an eye, and he even acted more like a teacher than Class C's homeroom teacher Sakagami.

It feels like a macho man has fallen from the sky!

Hikigaya looked at the scene in front of him, uh...how should I put it, it seems like the style of painting is not right!

It's like when you are clearly reading a romantic school comedy comic, but suddenly the next chapter gives you a whole drama about chaebols fighting for power and deep love, or when it is clearly a passionate and orthodox boys' battle comic, it suddenly turns into a comedy comic at the end.

This is outrageous, the style is completely wrong! This is really not the connotation!

Now Hikigaya has a feeling that 'there is nothing wrong, but something seems to be wrong'.

"Hikigaya-kun, are you okay?"

At this time, Hiyori checked Hikigaya's injuries with concern.

Hikigaya waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine, but at the same time he felt a little strange. He never thought that one day he would be protected by a girl.

Hiyori slowly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but when she turned around she found that Ishizaki and the others had not left yet and she couldn't help but frown.
