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

Seeing Hachiman's wavering expression, Nijika pressed her advantage: "That's exactly what I said, you can ask Inori if you don't believe me! Ah, is Inori training right now?"

"Yes, um."

Qi nodded blankly.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Hongxia swayed her body, looking eager to try. "Actually, this is my first time at an ice rink, so please, could you teach me?"

"Yeah, okay."

"Really? That's great!"

"Hey, don't disturb their training."

Hachiman did offer a brief reminder, but immediately after finishing, Inori explained that the next class wouldn't start for another half hour, so she could play with Nijika during that time.

"Look, even Inori said that, Hachiman!"

"No... okay, then I'll wait for you here in the stands."

"no!"

"Isn't this okay?"

Nijiga pouted, then forcefully pushed Hachiman to get two pairs of ice skating shoes from the shop assistant, and the two of them entered the ice through the passage.

"Then I'll leave the rest to Xiao Qi!"

Looking at Hikigaya and Ichichi Nijika, who were wearing protective gear, Inori took a deep breath.

"I will handle it!"

214 The New Semester

"Ah, I'm so exhausted!"

Twenty minutes later, Hachiman leaned to the side to rest, supporting his slightly sore knees as he looked ahead.

The two girls were still holding hands as they glided across the ice.

Although it was Nijika's first time trying ice skating, she had excellent balance and, with the guidance of Kisame, quickly mastered the skating techniques.

In contrast, Hikigaya, relying on his experience from his previous life, chose to glide on his own.

Unfortunately, muscle memory is completely unreliable. Hikigaya fell several times, but thankfully he had a mat to protect him; otherwise, the bruises on his thighs and buttocks would have taken several days to disappear.

Sigh, let's go back.

Until the next class started, Hachiman was slacking off on the sidelines. When the tall club coach returned, the two said goodbye to Inori and headed home together.

On the way back, Hongxia suddenly sighed:

"Sigh, Hachiman's personality is really troublesome."

Hey, I know my personality is troublesome, but is it really okay to say it out loud?

Hachiman can be sad too.

"...Um, I'm sorry."

"Ah, I won't blame Hikigaya-kun anymore." Nijika chuckled, then said in a gentle tone, "Actually, many people find awkward moments like this quite amusing."

"is it?"

Hachiman looked away, thinking that Nijika was probably comforting him. This child, really, why is she so gentle?

"Yes, like Senpai Soseki, Shoko-chan, Inori-kun, and me too!"

"Uh, pica?"

Hearing this, Hongxia was stunned for a long time, and then her little pink fist came flying at her.

"Seriously, Hachiman-kun, don't say such weird things!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to."

Despite enduring such an attack, Hachiman couldn't help but smile slightly.

He suddenly realized that being found interesting by others wasn't such a bad thing.

“Then I’ll go this way.” When they came to a crossroads, Hongxia suddenly stopped. “I will come to visit Hachiman again later. I want to make up for all the summer camp time I missed.”

"Ah, isn't that a rather strange way of putting it?"

"No, Hachiman-kun, you don't understand. Anyway, that's how it is. Goodbye!"

"See you."

Watching Ijichi Nijika's figure disappear, Hachiman turned and walked towards home, but even after he got home, he still didn't understand what Ijichi Nijika meant.

"That's why girls are so strange."

...

Summer vacation is over. During the month and a half of vacation, apart from the summer camp at the beginning, Hachiman stayed at home and occasionally went to the library.

The routine of going back and forth between two points made him feel comfortable, but the only thing that bothered him was that the approaching start of school made him anxious again.

Damn it, am I going to run into those brats again?

Lying on the sofa, Hachiman thought to himself with a depressed mood.

Also, I heard that classes will be reassigned this semester. What if I'm unlucky and end up with those stupid elementary school students again?

No, in the end, we're all idiots, so it doesn't really matter how we're divided into classes.

The only thing that Hachiman cared about was that he hoped to be assigned to the same class as Nishimiya Shoko, so that it would be easier for him to take care of her.

Should we try to communicate with the school?

No, forget it. Besides, Hachiman guesses the school probably understands that they'll set up the class assignment rules without him having to explain them.

For example, Hikigaya was 100% certain that he could never be in the same class as Ishida and the other two, unless the person who assigned the classes had lost their mind.

Similarly, normally Nishimiya Shoko would be assigned to his group, but it's uncertain about Nijika, since she wasn't involved in the previous bullying incident.

September 1st marks the start of the new semester.

When he got up, Hachiman specifically checked the time on his phone to confirm that the God of Time had not made a mistake.

If this were an anime, he might be trapped in this summer vacation forever, inspired by a certain anime.

Confirming that he wasn't stuck in the endless August like Yuki Nagato, Hikigaya put on a brand-new T-shirt, packed his schoolbag, and prepared to go to school.

In the second semester, Hachiman's parents did not make a point of taking their son and sister to school as they did in the first semester.

Therefore, the two walked hand in hand along the only route they could take, intending to leisurely make their way to school.

The sweltering heat had not yet subsided, and the cicadas' chirping continued incessantly. Unfortunately, most students could no longer contain their excitement about starting school, and they gathered in groups of three or four on the narrow road, directly blocking the passage.

"Onii-chan, you'll be able to see your long-lost friend soon!"

"Wait a minute, haven't you been spending the whole summer vacation hanging out with your friends?"

"Hehe, Onii-chan found out~ But it doesn't matter, Onii-chan is happy right now, isn't he?"

"...My silly little sister, Onii-chan has no friends at all!"

Komachi raised her innocent face and stared intently at her brother:

"Oh dear, what's going on with Su Shi-nee, Hong Xia-nee, and Xiao Zi-nee?"

"Well, that's just... By the way, my brother didn't have any friends in his past life. In fact, everyone was my enemy!"

What does "past life" mean?

"...Anyway, kids shouldn't meddle in adults' business. Komachi, let's hurry up... Oh right, Komachi, don't you guys need to be divided into classes?"

Hikigaya obtained this intelligence through information occasionally revealed by his younger sister.

Will we be divided into different classes?

Komachi pressed her finger against her soft lips, making a sweet, soft sound. Her appearance was so adorable that Hachiman wanted to give her a big kiss.

Having finally suppressed his impulse, Hachiman continued:

"Yes, normally we would take a school year as a unit, shuffle the students in one grade, and re-divide them into classes."

"I don't want to. Komachi wants to play with her familiar friends."

Komachi looked pitiful, as if she had heard some bad news.

"Well, don't worry, there are still two semesters left. If Komachi doesn't want to, Onii-chan can help you apply to the school then, how about that?"

"really?"

Of course it's fake.

But just like Santa Claus, even though Hachiman didn't believe in these things since first grade, he wouldn't deliberately expose these beautiful fairy tales.

The two chatted as they entered Yuqiu Elementary School. As they walked closer to the school gate, a list of third-grade class assignments caught their attention.

I knew it...

After sending Komachi back to the first-year floor, Hikigaya went back to the school gate alone. After a quick search, he found that he had been assigned to Class D.

but.

Whether it was luck or not, Nijika and Nishimiya Shoko were both assigned to the same class as him.

215 The Demise of the Hachiman Gang

Generally speaking, class division means resetting the interpersonal relationships around him, but when facing Nijika and Nishimiya Shoko, he doesn't know if this theorem still applies.

and so.

This outcome is undoubtedly a good thing for Hachiman, as it not only saves him the time of going to other classes every day, but also avoids the trouble of being asked to communicate with other students in other classes.

"Hachiman, you look very happy."

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm not happy about being grouped with people I know."

The person who just spoke was Zaimokuza. He was wearing a printed T-shirt and standing next to Hachiman. Compared to last semester, after a summer of growth, this guy seemed to have gotten even bigger.

"Hachiman, was that Louise-chan's catchphrase just now? I didn't know you liked tsundere characters too!"

Zai Muza, as if he had found a kindred spirit, spoke with an expression of admiration, to which Hachiman could only shake his head helplessly:

No, not at all.

"Hey, but wasn't that Louise-chan's line you just said?!" Zaimokuza radiated resentment, seemingly possessed by a deep-seated obsession with this type of character. "You're right, right, Hachiman? How could anyone not like a tsundere?!"

Wait a minute, who is Louise-chan?

Ah, when it comes to tsundere characters, only that pink-haired loli is left, but unfortunately, Hachiman doesn't seem to have much of a preference for that type of character.

"It's a shame to say this, but the fact is that tsundere is completely out of fashion these days."

"How could this be!" Upon learning the truth, Zaimokuza let out a long howl, and it took her a long time to gradually come back to her senses. "Well, if that's how it is, then so be it. Actually, I quite like the cool and aloof older sister type of character!"

Hey, is that all the tsundere characters are worth in your eyes?

"Speaking of which... Hachiman, would you mind asking which class you're in?"

Cai Muzu blinked, shifting his body somewhat awkwardly. Come on, isn't this kind of movement just not cute on a guy?

To this, Hachiman replied calmly:

"Class D."

"Oh no, I'm in Class C. What do we do? Without Hachiman, our Hachiman gang will be nothing but a shell of its former self!"

After being hit hard, Zaimokuza clutched his head in anguish, while Hikigaya noticed out of the corner of his eye that several former Class A boys around him had the same somber expression as Zaimokuza.

Damn it, the Hachiman Clan should have been disbanded a long time ago!

Hachiman twitched the corner of his mouth, suppressing the strong urge to retort, and asked in a low voice:

"Caimuzuo, may I ask, how many people are in that organization called 'What's-his-name Gang'?"

Thirty people!

Amidst immense sorrow, Zai Muza raised his head and answered.

Hey, how can so many idiots join this kind of organization!
