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

Just thinking about his name being used as a name and spread among thirty elementary school students made Hachiman feel like he wanted to die, not to mention that these guys would definitely come up with all sorts of strange slogans to keep things interesting.

Ugh, I want to drop out of school...

I didn't take any action last semester because I felt it was unnecessary, but now that I think about it, Hachiman feels that I should take action.

Today, let's tell Ms. Xiaoba about the existence of that gang and let her make the decision for us.

No, no, no, given Ms. Xiaoba's personality, she might even stir things up... Besides, it seems that Ms. Xiaoba has stepped down from her role as a homeroom teacher this semester and has become a caregiver again, so we shouldn't trouble her anymore.

After much deliberation, Hachiman decided to use this opportunity of class reassignment to finally settle things with that gang.

He deliberately used a cold tone to demand:

"The woodworking stand, please stop that boring activity as soon as possible. To be honest, it's been causing me a lot of trouble."

"I see, I'm sorry."

Cai Muzuo lowered his head deeply. It seemed that this guy had reflected on his actions. In that case, he would stop here.

Having done all that, Hachiman put his hands in his pockets and walked happily toward Class 3D.

Upon entering, I saw many unfamiliar faces, some of whom looked familiar; I must have met them once during the summer camp.

Oh right, Nishimiya Shoko and Ijichi Nijika had already arrived at the classroom. Upon seeing Hachiman Hikigaya, they immediately greeted him happily.

"Hachiman, that's great! We're in the same class again this semester!"

"Yes."

Hikigaya walked into the classroom at a leisurely pace and then found his seat according to the seating chart on the blackboard.

Oh my, the back row by the window is a great spot!

Hikigaya couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile as he hung his backpack on the back of his chair, his strange chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) feeling slightly satisfied.

“And that’s not all.” Nijika and Nishimiya Shoko walked hand in hand to Hachiman’s side. “Ryo is here this time too. Sometimes I wonder if we’re just too lucky.”

Oh, so Yamada Ryo is also in Class 3-D?

So where is that guy?

Hikigaya thought to himself, and looking around, he finally found Yamada Ryo's figure in the last row near the door. It seemed that he had just been tying his shoelaces.

"Hey, Hachiman is here!"

At Nijika's call, Yamada Ryo slowly walked over.

"Long time no see, Hachiman."

"Ah."

The two greeted each other.

Wait a minute, it's fine if you guys want to chat, but could you please not gather around my seat?

By the time Hachiman wanted to protest, it was too late. Unbeknownst to him, an encirclement had already formed around him.

Sigh, this scene probably looks like a small clique to other people...

Hikigaya felt inexplicably uneasy.

Because they were "lucky" enough to be assigned to the same class, the group chatted for a while about the fun things that happened during the summer vacation. Around 8:30, when the bell rang for the first class, Hongxia and the others reluctantly returned to their seats.

So, who will be the new homeroom teacher?

Aside from Mr. Koba, Hikigaya didn't have much of an impression of the homeroom teachers of the other three classes, but he did have a good impression of Ms. Kanatsu, the homeroom teacher of Class 4-A.

Although the petite woman was clumsy in her actions, she was surprisingly a wonderful adult. But no matter what, a fourth-grade teacher couldn't possibly work in a third-grade classroom, could she?

Just as Hachiman was resting his chin on his hand, lost in thought, someone suddenly tapped on his table.

"Hachiman, can I borrow your eraser?"

The one speaking was the girl sitting in front of me.

"Oh, um."

I subconsciously took out an eraser from my pencil case, and the other person gave me a healthy and sweet smile after receiving it.

"Thank you. Oh, so Hachiman's story is different from everyone else's."

Different?

216 New Class Teacher

Looking up, the first thing that catches the eye is a head of long, smooth, dark blue hair, and hidden under the fluffy bangs are a pair of bright blue eyes that blink beautifully.

however.

Who is this guy?

Hachiman carefully examined the fair-skinned girl in front of him, but unfortunately, he couldn't recall her name no matter what he did.

Oh no, isn't this situation terrible?

The other person called out my name very easily, while I was racking my brains but couldn't come up with an answer. Should I just call out any name at all?

Outside the village?

Chizuru?

No, no, no, I feel like I'd get beaten up if I said anything carelessly...

While Hachiman was still pondering a solution, the blue-haired girl noticed the hesitation in his eyes. The next moment, she puffed out her cheeks and said angrily like a squirrel:

"Hey, Hachiman, don't you recognize me anymore?"

"Um, sorry, I'm not good at remembering people's names. By the way, were you a student in Class A before?"

"Wow, you even got someone else's class wrong, Hachiman. Looks like I'll have to take back my opinion of you."

When the girl was giving a high and mighty evaluation of Biqi Gu, the latter suddenly realized what was going on.

Oh, so it's a student from another class. I thought, after all these months, I haven't even remembered the names of my classmates...

Wait a minute, this guy is from another class, so why do they seem to be on such good terms...?

Hachiman admits that he is indeed quite famous among the third-year students, but apart from a few individuals, shouldn't everyone else treat him with more indifference?

For example, "Hey, you over there, can you not get so close to me? Just smelling the same air as you makes me feel disgusted."

"Sorry, I don't remember you. You must be mistaken."

He decided to tell the truth, but to his surprise, the girl in front of him not only did not get angrier, but instead introduced her identity with satisfaction.

"It's okay, I forgive you. By the way, my name is Hanami Anna, nice to meet you."

"Forgive? Ah, my name is Hachiman Hikigaya."

Although Hachiman didn't know what he had done wrong, he still introduced himself anyway.

Just as the girl named Hachimi Anna was about to continue speaking, the new homeroom teacher walked into the classroom. The person who entered was a tall and slender man, who appeared to be around twenty-five years old.

Moreover, although he had the air of a liberal arts student, he also had broad shoulders and well-proportioned features, a style that was very popular with girls.

"Lucky! So handsome! By the way, is he the new teacher?!"

"It must be true. Ah, it's so great to be assigned to this class."

The girls in the class started whispering among themselves. The handsome young teacher on the stage seemed to hear the discussions below and could only give a helpless chuckle.

"Good morning, everyone. As some of you just mentioned, this is my first time visiting Haneoka Elementary School, so please bear with me."

"Hello teacher!"

"Hello everyone." Smiling and waving to the boisterous girls below the stage, the new homeroom teacher continued, "My name is Yashiro Manabu, and I will be teaching you math and Chinese."

"So handsome!!!"

"Tch, he's just so-so looking."

Seeing the girl in his class looking so infatuated, the boy sitting next to him curled his lip.

Hikigaya, however, was not interested in any of these things. He didn't care what the homeroom teacher looked like, as long as he wasn't a social scumbag like Takeuchi.

As Hikigaya casually observed Yashiro's expression, the other man seemed to notice his gaze and immediately gave him a friendly smile.

This guy is something else...

Although it's still uncertain what kind of person the new teacher is, based solely on this reaction, Hikigaya can be certain that the other person is far more capable than Takeuchi-sensei.

Having reached this conclusion, Hikigaya rested his chin on his hand and began to clear his mind. He had barely made it through the morning classes when he was called to the office during his lunch break.

"Excuse me, have you had lunch yet?"

Yashiro Gakuen sat Hikigaya opposite him with a gentle smile on his face.

Ugh, that kind of "socially successful" smile is so annoying...

"Oh, not yet, we'll go eat in a bit."

Hikigaya tried to end the conversation quickly, but Yashiro Manabu awkwardly made an apologetic gesture.

"I'm sorry to have kept you from having lunch. I'll finish this conversation as soon as possible. Please wait a little longer."

"It's alright, so what did you need me for, Mr. Yashiro?"

"Yes, that's right." Yashiro Manabu put his fist to his lips and cleared his throat. "Ahem, Hikigaya-kun, I heard that you were very active at school in the first semester."

Ah, so that's how it is. Now I know what that look in his eyes meant this morning.

Hachiman's gaze suddenly became clear.

The purpose of Yashiro Manabu calling him over this time was probably to warn him to stop causing trouble in class, right?

Even if the other party hadn't reminded him, Hachiman had no intention of causing trouble for others; his actions last semester were simply out of necessity.

"I understand. I will behave myself from now on and will never cause you any trouble, teacher."

"Oh, no, no, no, that's not what I meant, teacher." Yashiro Manabu suspected that the other party had misunderstood something, so he quickly explained in his magnetic voice, "Then let's get straight to the point. Actually, I really admire what Hikigaya has done."

"Uh?"

Hachiman was stunned for a moment, then he began to wonder if he had misheard something.

"One is called Nishimiya-kun, and the other is called Nagasaki-kun, right? The teacher heard that you sacrificed a lot for them, but now the grade has a great misunderstanding about you."

"It's not exactly a misunderstanding."

Hikigaya sneered. Even without his deliberate guidance, the other students' attitudes toward him were hardly friendly. He was just taking advantage of this information gap.

but.

That being said, Hikigaya was somewhat confused about what Yashiro Manabu meant by those words. Was it a warning or a compliment?

While Hikigaya was deep in thought, what Yashiro Manabu said next made him frown deeply.

"In a sense, I really appreciate what you're doing." After a deliberate pause, the other person continued, "However, even though it's to fill a void in your heart, you can't just use such strange methods. I absolutely cannot condone that."

217 The explosion of popular people

The idea that one shouldn't haphazardly use such strange methods to fill the void in one's heart is truly concerning...

As Hikigaya pondered Yatsushiro's words, he felt a strong sense of unease, as if there was an element of imparting experience in addition to ordinary preaching.

In short, it seems that Yashiro Manabu is guiding himself to use more covert methods to deal with problems in the future—of course, this is just Hachiman's personal speculation.

Depending on the situation, this statement can also be interpreted as persuading him to abandon his past unreasonable practices, which aligns with Teacher Xiaoba's judgment.

That being said, from a teacher's perspective, it's impossible to teach students to achieve their goals by violating school rules. So it seems the other party was just trying to persuade him.

but.

Although he understood the implied meaning of Yashiro Gaku's words, Hikigaya still decided to use a more ambiguous response.

"...Um, I didn't understand what you meant, teacher."

"Sigh, did I explain it too profoundly?" Yashiro paused, then looked thoughtful, resting his chin on his hand and muttering to himself, "I see. Then I'll explain it in a simpler way."

"No need."

Yatsushiro Manabu seems to be a very responsible guy.

Hachiman deliberately glanced at the alarm clock on the office wall, indicating that his lunch break was short and he hoped the other party would end the conversation as soon as possible.
