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

Hikigaya immediately refuted the other party's idea in his mind. Why should it be based on the premise that he likes Anna Hanami?

but.

He agreed with the second half of the sentence; boys at this age are indeed very immature, resorting to hurting others to get a girl's attention when they clearly like her.

The result, naturally, was that he was disliked by the girl.

"Don't worry, I have no ulterior motives towards Hanami-kun."

"...Just to ask, are you two having a disagreement?"

"Do you want to have a fight?"

Hikigaya rolled his eyes.

"I see. It seems that Hikigaya-kun wasn't lying... Anyway, thank you for your concern, but you really don't need to worry about the food."

When Hachiman saw Anja smile again, for some reason, Hachiman felt that the child seemed to be in a better mood than when she was eating cookies.

"Ah That's good."

"So, I'm leaving the cookies to you."

The uncooked cookies were pushed in front of him again. Hachiman hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly picked up the plate and walked towards the oven.

...

On the second day of school, Hachiman, as always, entered the classroom just before the bell rang.

Because the classes have just been reorganized, the small groups in the classroom have not yet formed.

Only a few students were chatting in their seats, while the rest either pretended to be engrossed in their books, but were actually eyeing their surroundings, looking for their companions for the next two semesters.

Or they're just spacing out, their attention completely wandering outside the classroom.

I absentmindedly walked through the crowd, and before I could even sit down properly, the blue-haired girl at the table in front of me turned around with a cheerful expression.

"Good morning, Hachiman Hikigaya."

"Well, morning."

Once again, Hikigaya felt the enthusiasm that Anna Yanami had for her classmates, while at the same time feeling puzzled by Manabu Yashiro's inexplicable request.

"Hey, Hachiman, that's too much! You're ignoring me like that."

For some reason, Bana noticed that Anja's round cheeks were puffed out, and there was a hint of displeasure on her tender face.

"What a hassle, didn't I already respond to you?"

Hikigaya casually hung his backpack on the back of the chair.

"Sigh, is 'Hmm, good morning' even considered a response?"

"...Really? That's how we greet each other at home."

Hachiman didn't take it seriously.

By the way, things are fine now, but when we get to junior high, Komachi won't even bother to say "good morning" when we meet every day. She'll just glance at me and call it a greeting.

No, we must change this bad habit. At the very least, we must get it down to the level of saying, "Good morning, elder brother. Breakfast is ready!"

and.

This is Hachiman's only chance. In a few years, Komachi will only show a look of disgust when she hears such a request.

"Ugh, I feel like Hachiman is thinking something terrible."

"Ugh, I feel like Hachiman is thinking something terrible."

As if sensing something, Banami felt a chill run down her spine.

Hey, do you have mind-reading abilities?

Besides, calling your own brother "elder brother" isn't a bad thing. The younger sisters in the Shiba and Kasuga families do it!

"I understand. I'll guide Hachiman and show you how to get along well with your classmates!"

Why did the topic jump to this point?

Hikigaya was shocked. He remembered that he had never asked Anna Hanami to help improve his interpersonal relationships.

Could it be that the storyline of Golden Wind has already begun?

"Well, actually, it's like this." Yana glanced around casually, then frowned and lowered her voice, "To be honest, Hachiman, I've noticed that you have a really bad reputation in the class."

Ah, so that’s it.

Hachiman instantly understood Anna's thoughts. It seemed that after spending a day together, she had a complete understanding of what happened last semester. However, he was sorry, he didn't need anyone's help in this regard.

"no need."

"really?"

Anzu's tone was as if to say, "If you miss this opportunity, you might become a complete outsider in the class."

To be honest, Hachiman still doesn't understand what's wrong with being a loner.

Can't you live a comfortable life on your own?

In the end, he wasn't completely friendless, so there was no need for Bana to go through the trouble of meeting Anzu.

and.

If this continues, won't Anna Hanami also become a victim?

Having realized this, Hachiman slightly increased the distance between them:

"Really, I hope that Banami-kun won't meddle in other people's business."

"Ah, oh."

Seeing Anja nod somewhat dejectedly, the conversation between the two came to an end.

The morning classes passed quickly, and during the lunch break, Hikigaya was called to the office. Since he could roughly guess why Yashiro Manabu had called him over, he got straight to the point.

"Yashiro-sensei, I don't think Hanami-kun needs any special care."

If things had progressed normally, the next thing Yashiro would have said was "Objection!!!", and then, like an NPC in an RPG, more information would have been revealed.

however.

"I see, that's great!"

Yatsushiro Manabu did not raise any questions; instead, he showed a look of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

"Wait a minute, Professor Yashiro, is it really okay to just blindly trust my observations?"

Hikigaya couldn't help but ask a question, to which Yashiro Manabu replied with a solemn expression:

"The teacher trusts your judgment."

No, what you're saying puts me in a difficult position too...

“Actually, I was also observing Banami’s performance yesterday. She seemed to be adapting well to life in the new class, which puts the teacher at ease.”

"Ah, um."

Does this mean that the work of taking care of Anna Hanami has come to an end?

Just as Hikigaya was about to ask for clarification, Yashiro Manabu spoke up again:

"By the way, Hachiman, are you free after school today? If you're free, could you accompany me somewhere?"

"what?"

Hikigaya looked confused, and seeing this, Yashiro Manabu immediately explained:

"That's right, the teacher plans to visit everyone's home in the next two weeks, and the first target is Hanami-kun."

Home visits are a common practice at the beginning of the school year. I remember that when I was in first or second grade, Hachiman also hosted his former homeroom teacher at his home.

In the third grade, perhaps because Takeuchi made the decision on his own, the home visits were canceled, so he thought there would be no more home visits in the third grade.

Just as Hikigaya was lost in thought, Yashiro Manabu made another strange request:

"Hachiman, according to my observation, you and Yanami are currently the closest in the class, so I would like to invite you to come along."

"what?"

Hachiman couldn't pretend he hadn't heard this.

A home visit is one thing, but what's the point of bringing an outsider like him along? He's not Yatsushiro Gaku's personal assistant.

"Mr. Yashiro, I feel that what I said in the past was not very appropriate."

Hikigaya flatly refused the other party's request.

"Yes, I understand what you mean, but I hope you can reconsider."

Yashiro Manabu paused deliberately.

"Actually, Hanami's parents won't be back anytime soon, so I plan to go to Hanami's house first and then contact her parents by phone."

"Oh, that has nothing to do with me, right?"

Hachiman was determined not to agree to this strange request, no matter what the other party said.

"Mr. Yashiro, actually I'm going out to dinner with my parents tonight, so I really can't find the time."

"That's it."

A look of regret appeared on Yashiro Manabu's face. After saying some trivial things, he let him go.

On the way back, Hikigaya pondered what Yashiro had just said.

His intuition told him that Yashiro Manabu's behavior just now was a bit strange. For example, since Yashiro's parents were not home, couldn't he have gone at another time?

Why did we have to choose this time?

Moreover, even if he seemed to have a good relationship with Anna Hanami, it was still suspicious that he took other students to visit their homes.

No matter how you look at it, the other party's actions are full of suspicious points. It's one thing to contact Anna's parents by phone, but it's really hard to explain why they would take her there.

Because he was thinking about something, it took him longer to get back to the classroom. As soon as he entered, he found that his seat had been taken by several girls he didn't know.

Hey, this isn't your base, get back here!

of course.

Hachiman didn't want to cause himself any further trouble, so he waited at the door until the girls finished their conversation before pretending to come in from outside.

"Hachiman, are you free this afternoon?"

As soon as he sat down, he heard Hongxia's spirited voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Ryo said she's going to the music store to get her bass serviced. If you're free this afternoon, how about we go out and hang out together?"

"No, I need to go home early this afternoon."

“But Komachi said that even if you go home early in the afternoon, you will just sit on the sofa in a daze or read novels.”

Hongxia stared intently at them, her eyes seeming to say, "Which is more important, the novel or me...? Idiot, if you ask that, the novel is definitely more important!"

"Okay, just going for a stroll is fine."

"Great."

Nijigae happily returned to her seat, when Anna, who was sitting in front of her, suddenly turned around and said with a disdainful look:

"Hachiman really has no principles. He gave up on his own ideas as soon as a girl said something."

"Whether you believe it or not, I never intended to go straight home. I was just going along the way with Ijichi and the others."

Hikigaya retorted defiantly, while Anna Hanami responded with a "see if I believe you" expression.

It's true!

When he went out in the morning, he heard that the cake shop in the mall was having a sale, and Hachiman, who only had a little pocket money, could only take this opportunity to buy some of his favorite desserts.
