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

but.

Yashiro Manabu ignored his hints and directly displayed his authority as the homeroom teacher.

"Hachiman, please listen carefully to what I'm about to say, what I'm about to say is very important."

Tch, what a cunning tactic.

"...Feel sorry."

His attention was forcibly drawn back, and Hikigaya waited in place for half a minute. Suddenly, Yashiro Manabu, who had already thought of what to say, solemnly adjusted his seat, shortening the distance between the two of them to the point of being right next to each other.

The other person smiled confidently, emanating a sweet scent that blended candy and coffee, giving one a strange sense of peace.

Just as Hachiman relaxed completely, anticipating what the other person wanted to say, he felt something invading his hair, and his whole body stiffened.

"Ugh?"

Gently stroking the boy's head, Yashiro Manabu spoke earnestly:

"Hachiman, you are a kind child, so I want to say that if you encounter a similar problem next time, please come to me for help. I will do my best to help you."

Oh, is that what it means?

Hikigaya's pupils widened slightly as he stared incredulously at the young teacher he had only known for a day.

Although it's unclear whether this guy was just saying nice things or genuinely wanted to help, this kindness certainly touched his heart.

However, he had his own reasons for doing so.

"...Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yashiro. I will take good care of myself."

His words carried a hint of gratitude and a tactful refusal, but unfortunately, Yashiro Manabu did not immediately grasp his feelings.

"Well, it's good that you understand." Yashiro Manabu chuckled to himself. "Also, your teacher will try to help you clear up those misunderstandings."

Does the misunderstanding refer to the students' opinion of him?

To be honest, Hachiman didn't think there was anything wrong with people disliking him. Although there were legitimate reasons, he had indeed said a lot of hurtful things.

He has always felt very sorry about this.

However, given the current situation, it's best to maintain the status quo.

If we let Yashiro Manabu interfere recklessly, things could get very complicated, so we can't keep playing dumb here.

"No need, I can handle those things myself."

Hikigaya stated his opinion directly, and this time, Yashiro Manabu suddenly realized, then awkwardly scratched his cheek:

"Uh, is that so? Well, could it be that the teacher is meddling in other people's business?"

"No, the teacher is just doing her job, but I also have my own considerations. If possible, please don't worry about me for now."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. It's almost time, so Hachiman should head back..." Yashiro Manabu sighed helplessly, muttering to himself, "Just like what Mr. Koba said, he's such a mature kid."

Sigh, so it was all Teacher Xiaoba's doing?

That explains what I just said.

Before Hikigaya could continue thinking, Yashiro Manabu spoke first:

"Oh, by the way, if it's convenient, could you please look after Hanami-kun a little?"

"Yanagi?"

Hikigaya subconsciously raised an eyebrow, surprised that the name would appear in the conversation.

Yatsushiro Gaku nodded in reply:

"Well, the child's parents haven't been around these past few days, and it seems that none of the students she knows have been assigned to the same class, so the teacher is worried that she won't be able to adapt to the class all at once."

"is it?"

Recalling how energetic Anna looked that morning, Hachiman didn't feel that she needed any special care.

Also.

He's an ostracized loner; wouldn't it be inappropriate to have someone like that take care of others?

"I understand. If I have the ability, I will keep an eye on Banami-kun."

"Then please."

Yatsushiro waved his hand.

"Goodbye."

Leaving the office, Hachiman suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, even though he was chatting with a sunny and handsome guy, he felt a very oppressive feeling.

Sure enough, it's because they dislike people who are popular with others.

Whether it's his demeanor or the way he speaks, Manabu Yashiro has a kind of "normie" vibe. Even though the other party is trying his best to suppress it, Hachiman's "normie radar" can still sense it.

"Tsk, what a social butterfly..."

"Hachiman, what were you talking to yourself about just now?"

A familiar voice rang in his ears, and Hikigaya quickly stopped and turned around. At this moment, Nijika was holding Nishimiya Shoko's hand and walking behind him, her wine-red eyes revealing a hint of curiosity.

"No, it's nothing."

If someone overhears you talking badly about your teacher behind their back, you'll definitely be targeted and punished.

Speaking of which, besides Nishimiya Shoko and Nijika, Yamada Ryo was also present, but she seemed to be immersed in her own world, her right hand in mid-air sweeping something up and down in a certain rhythm.

Is this some kind of air guitar... oh no, bass?

"Hachiman, have you already discovered it?"

Meeting Hikigaya's suspicious gaze, Yamada Ryo smiled slightly, like two high school boys who had fallen for the same teacher and clicked.

"Ah, um, you've become that skilled?"

After just one summer vacation, has Yamada Ryo already mastered using air as a musical instrument?

"Of course!"

218 Cement-shaped sea otter

Yamada Ryo responded with astonishing force, then took a step forward and solemnly handed the air bass she was holding to Hachiman.

"How about it, can you feel it too?"

No, what exactly should I feel to be considered reasonable...?

Just as he was about to say that, Hachiman suddenly remembered something and then solemnly changed his words:

"Yes, I can feel it! But is it really okay for me to have something so valuable?"

"Don't worry, music knows no social class."

"..broker."

Hachiman, who had originally planned to play with Yamada Ryo for a while, instantly lost his composure. He clicked his tongue in annoyance and then threw the bass guitar on the ground with a blank expression.

"Clap!"

The sound of the bass being shattered seemed to echo in the void.

"My little Hachichan!"

As if "seeing" his beloved bass guitar reduced to a pile of fragments, Yamada Ryo knelt on the ground in sorrow, lamenting with anguish:

"Hachiman, I'll never let you get away with this!"

"..."

Nijika, standing to the side, watched the two's inexplicable interaction speechlessly: "Hachigaya-kun, Ryo, you two are so childish."

No, this is clearly Yamada Ryo's fault!

Moreover, considering our age, we're all still just elementary school students. What's wrong with acting like children?

Hikigaya frantically tried to defend himself in his mind.

At this moment, Nishimiya Shoko used sign language to ask Hikigaya:

"Has Hachiman had lunch yet?"

"No, not yet. I was just called away by Mr. Yashiro."

"Yashiro-sensei, he seems to be very serious."

When it comes to the new homeroom teacher, Hongxia, like the other students, seems to have a lot to say.

"It's okay, Nijika. If Yashiro-sensei tries to hurt you, I'll teach her a lesson with this bass!"

Like a knight, Yamada Ryo volunteered to step forward, but unfortunately, the air knight sword, like the emperor's new clothes, only served a comedic purpose.

"Thank you, Ryo." Nijika replied tentatively, "But you can't say that about others. Yashiro-sensei seems like a nice person."

"I think so too."

Nishimiya Shoko rarely offered her own opinion.

"When get out of class ended, he even communicated with me using sign language."

"Oh, does Mr. Yashiro know sign language?"

The three girls were discussing Yashiro Gaku with great interest, while Hikigaya stood aside, organizing everyone's thoughts.

Because of Takeuchi's case, he is very sensitive to the character of the homeroom teacher, but at least for now, Yashiro Manabu should be a good teacher.

At least he knows how to build good relationships with his students.

He mumbled something.

Just as everyone was discussing this, Hachiman's stomach rumbled like thunder. He immediately coughed and looked out the window.

"Pfft, Hachiman-kun, I'm sorry, let's go to the cafeteria together."

"...Ah, yeah."

He refused for a specific reason, so Hachiman followed the group to the school cafeteria. He ordered a bowl of soba noodles and while looking for a seat, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure.

Ah, it's Banami.

Thinking of the request made by Yashiro Gaku, Hikigaya, who was holding a plate, stopped in his tracks and looked the sweet-looking girl up and down.

The other person seemed to have come alone, but for some reason, there was a hint of fanaticism in their eyes.

Following the other person's gaze, one could see that the plate of Hanami Anna was piled with food far exceeding the amount needed for one person.

Hey, is this guy a competitive eater?

"Hikigaya-san?"

Noticing that Hikigaya hadn't moved, Nishimiya Shoko called out to the others.

"What's wrong, Hachiman? Did you not like today's food?"

"Ah, no, I was just looking for an empty seat." Hachiman gestured with his chin towards the spot where Yami was sitting. "There are seats over there, let's go sit over there."

"Okay."

The four of them sat down not far from Anzu Hachimi, and from this angle, they could see Anzu Hachimi eating non-stop.

"Hachiman, are you planning to fall for someone else?"

Everyone was eating quietly when Yamada Ryo suddenly brought up a perplexing topic.

This guy must watch too many morning dramas!

"What are you talking about?"

Hikigaya inexplicably put down his spoon, only to see Yamada Ryo covering her mouth with a smug smile, saying:

"You've been staring at Hanami nonstop since just now... Nijika, you need to be careful, Hikigaya is currently in the burn-out phase of husbandhood, the peak period for cheating."

"Sigh, infidelity, who?"

Hongxia was completely bewildered. For this naive girl, the idea of ​​marital infidelity was still too advanced.

"It's that girl over there."

"Hey, hey, it's very impolite to point at people like that," Hachiman stopped him. "...By the way, Yamada-kun, do you know Hanami-kun?"
