Crossover anime, Hachiman's childhood friend's growth diary

Because the surrounding area is very safe, and the kindergarten does not have a strict rule that children cannot go home alone after school, the teacher shook her head, indicating that she did not know where Yuzuru Nishimiya was.

"Crab!"

She nodded slightly to express her basic gratitude, then turned and wandered aimlessly through the streets.

How could Yuzuru run off without saying a word? It would make his mother and grandmother worry.

Nishimiya Shoko was feeling both angry and anxious. She spent a few minutes going to the children's park closest to the kindergarten. After looking around, a small figure suddenly caught her attention.

"Yuzuru!"

Shouting her sister's name loudly, Nishimiya Shoko quickly stepped forward, but as soon as she entered the park, she was surprised to find that there were two other students she didn't recognize with her sister.

They seemed aggressive, more like enemies than friends of Yuzuru.

"Whoa, we've found a monster!"

The two boys, two years older than Nishimiya Yuzuru, skipped around her with mocking remarks. Their homes were nearby, so they were emboldened to do bad things.

"Who are you? And I'm not a monster!"

Yuzuru Nishimiya, who was passing the time by pulling weeds, suddenly looked up and glared fiercely at the two people in front of her.

"If I say you are you, then you are!"

"I'm not!"

Enraged, Nishimiya Yuzuru stood up abruptly. Although she was a head shorter than the other two, her imposing manner was in no way inferior.

"That's hilarious! Isn't your sister that earless monster? Then you're that monster's sister, so you're a monster too!"

"That's right! But your ears seem normal to me... Oh, I know, do you have an extra nostril? Oh no, this is too funny!"

Upon hearing this, Nishimiya Yuzuru quickly touched her face, and after confirming that her nose was no different from a normal person's, she immediately retorted:

"You all have an extra nostril, not just an extra nostril, but an extra mouth, which is why you love to talk badly about others!"

"Aren't we telling the truth? Wasn't your sister expelled from school because she was weird?"

The school these two attended was Nishimiya Shoko's first elementary school, so they had heard about what had happened before.

However, due to various rumors, the version circulating in schools seemed to portray Nishimiya Shoko as an ugly and strange monster.

"Shut up, it's not surprising to your sister at all."

He said he was fine, but when the topic shifted to Nishimiya Shoko, Nishimiya Yuzuru could no longer control his anger.

"Say that again and I'll kill you!"

"Haha, the monster is attacking people! Let's run!"

The two of them didn't take Nishimiya Yuzuru's threat seriously at all. In fact, although Nishimiya Yuzuru's tone was very fierce, his cute face gave him the appearance of a roaring tiger cub.

So they ran around the park, wiggling their butts in an annoying way, spreading rumors about the Nishimiya sisters.

Yuzuru Nishimiya chased after them, but because of her age, she was always left far behind by the two of them.

"Hehe, you can't catch her!"

Looking at these two annoying guys, Nishimiya Yuzuru suddenly thought of a good idea. She went to the edge of the sandpit, quietly grabbed a handful of sand, and then stood still.

"You're out of energy so quickly? You're such a useless monster."

The two boys burst into laughter, and the moment they saw the two of them lower their guard and slowly walk over, Nishimiya Yuzuru threw sand at them with all his might.

"what!"

The next moment, the two who were laughing at Nishimiya Yuzuru were hit directly in the face by sand. Although the sand was not very harmful, it was extremely humiliating.

Seeing the two of them constantly wiping their faces and spitting out sand in discomfort, Nishimiya Yuzuru laughed gleefully.

"Hmph, let's see if you dare to talk nonsense again."

"Nomi, let's catch him together, we can't let her get away."

"it is good!"

170. Thinking of your sister.

After cleaning the dirty sand off their faces, the two quickly reached a consensus to teach this ungrateful brat a lesson.

Seeing the two boys, two years older than her, displaying blatant hostility, it was now Nishimiya Yuzuru's turn to run away.

She first hopped across the sandpit, but her shoes were filled with sand, making it uncomfortable to walk. Just as Nishimiya Yuzuru was about to leave the park, her arms were grabbed tightly and she was forcibly dragged back.

"let me go!"

"Hehe, you were the one who started it."

"You were the ones who spoke ill of my sister first, you shameless bastards!"

Ignoring Yuzuru Nishimiya's curses, one of the boys copied her and dug a handful of soil from the sandpit. To vent his anger, he added some more wet clay on top.

"Come on, you can experience what we felt just now."

The boy gripped the clay and sand tightly, preparing to smash it hard against Nishimiya Yuzuru's face, when a figure rushed over quickly.

"Don't bully Yuzuru!"

The strange accent startled everyone present, while Yuzuru Nishimiya's eyes lit up, and she shouted with delight:

"Sister, someone is bullying me!"

The two men glanced quickly at Nishimiya Shoko, then smiled coldly and said:

"Nomi, is this the weirdo? He looks no different from an ordinary person."

"Idiot, look at her ear, it has an extra thing sticking out compared to ours, it's disgusting!"

She couldn't hear what the two were talking about at all, but the disdain in their eyes reminded Nishimiya Shoko of the experience of being bullied by Ishida Shoya and his friends when she first transferred to Haneoka Elementary School.

Of course, the situation this time is somewhat different from that time.

For example, at school, Nishimiya Shoko could sense that Ishida Shouya didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her at first, but only started playing pranks on her as time went on.

Meanwhile, Ishida Shoya's goal has always been to be alone, but the two boys in front of him not only hate him, but also want to hurt Yuzuru.

Nishimiya Shoko was used to being bullied, or rather, she felt that it was always her own fault if she was beaten.

However, Yuzuru is different. She is an obedient child and has no defects, so she should not be looked down upon.

Another point is that someone stood up to protect her at Haneoka Elementary School, so when it's Yuzuru's turn to be bullied, she has to stand up too.

Imitating the figure in her mind, Nishimiya Shoko felt as if she had gained infinite power. She pushed the boy behind Yuzuru away and then used her slender body to block the three of them.

"Are you hurt?"

"No."

Yuzuru Nishimiya rubbed his wrist and shook his head. Seeing this, Shoko Nishimiya also showed a relieved smile.

After confirming that her sister was not injured, she planned to leave this troublesome place immediately.

"Hey, who said you two could leave!"

The two boys couldn't swallow their anger, especially the one holding the sand; they stubbornly blocked the Nishimiya sisters from walking out of the park.

"Don't block the way!"

Yuzuru Nishimiya glared at the two of them through gritted teeth, while as her older sister, Shoko Nishimiya realized that the two of them must have had some irreconcilable conflict with Yuzuru, otherwise they wouldn't have kept bothering her.

"To Buqi, Yuzuru didn't do it on purpose."

After thinking for a moment, she politely apologized.

"Huh, I don't understand what you're saying? Nomi, did you understand?"

The boy named Nomi shook his head:

"How could I possibly understand a monster's voice? Speaking of which, that tone really disgusts me. Koyama, you feel the same way, right?"

"Yes!"

The two boys stuck out their tongues and deliberately made a vomiting face.

"Who's the monster?!"

Despite her petite stature, Nishimiya Yuzuru had been provoking a boy who was much taller than her since the beginning, which made the situation tense again.

"I say you're monsters, and you are monsters!"

"We're not!"

"I said yes!"

"certainly not!"

Just as the group was arguing, a cold voice rang out from the side.

"...What are you doing?"

Hikigaya walked over expressionlessly.

He followed Nishimiya Shoko's back, so he didn't know what conflict Nishimiya Yuzuru had with the two kids before, but he could roughly imagine it.

On the other side, although she didn't know why Hachiman was there, Nishimiya Shoko's heart immediately settled down after seeing him.

"Hikigaya wears the same shoes."

"Oh, good afternoon."

Hikigaya was slightly taller than the two boys, but the key wasn't his physique, but rather his nonchalant demeanor.

Both of them agreed that just from his posture, the dead-eyed man passing by looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.

"What are you going to do?"

The boy holding the sand was clearly hesitant, but running away now would be too embarrassing.

"Oh, I was just passing by, don't worry about me."

Even so, Hikigaya stood directly next to Nishimiya Shoko, and the two boys who were about to say something to her immediately fell silent.

"But these two are my friends. Is there anything you can tell me?"

"...Tch, Nomi, let's go!"

The two glared at Nishimiya Yuzuru, then casually tossed the sand on the ground and left without looking back.

"Hachiman, thank you."

With the danger gone, Yuzuru Nishimiya breathed a sigh of relief.

however.

After chasing away the two inexplicable brats, Hachiman did not relax and maintained his serious tone.

"You're welcome. Are you two alright?"

"It doesn't matter."

Nishimiya Shoko waved cutely.

"Okay, that's good." Then, Hikigaya turned to face Yuzuru Nishimiya. "Yuzuru, if you really care about your sister, you shouldn't go around provoking those strange people in the future."

To be honest, it is perfectly reasonable and justifiable for Yuzuru Nishimiya to want to protect Shoko Nishimiya's dignity, and even Hikigaya would have done the same.

However, the subsequent actions are questionable.

At least in Hachiman's view, forcibly escalating a conflict when one lacks the ability to resolve it is the most foolish thing to do.

If you recognize the situation and can't handle it, then admit defeat and apologize. It doesn't matter how you deal with it or how you fight back afterward. But Yuzuru Nishimiya was stubborn and headstrong because of his passion. If Hachiman hadn't happened to be there, who knows how things would have turned out.

"...They were the ones who spoke ill of my sister first."

Yuzuru Nishimiya was clearly unconvinced. She frowned and retorted, while Shoko Nishimiya, though she hadn't heard their conversation clearly, could only remain silent, a gentle smile instinctively appearing on her lips.

171. Please stop arguing.

Looking at Nishimiya Shoko's adorable smiling face, Hikigaya felt a faint pang of sadness.

Well, how should I put it? It's probably precisely this kind of performance that makes him so worried.

Hikigaya sighed inwardly. Compared to when school started, Nishimiya Shoko had made some progress in her interpersonal skills, but not enough to change the habits she had developed since childhood.
