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

He gave a vague location, but to everyone's surprise, Anna covered her mouth in astonishment:

"You're kidding, right? Hachiman, I live over there too. Where exactly?"

Are you kidding me? This is allowed?

Hachiman was speechless for a moment. He had only intended to give a few perfunctory replies, but it seemed he had stepped on a landmine.

"Hachiman, why aren't you saying anything?"

The girl tilted her head, and the faint morning light cast a golden glaze on Anna's fair and delicate skin, making it somewhat dazzling to behold.

"No, it's nothing."

"Hey Hachiman, if we live nearby, how about I come over to your house sometime?"

Anna Hanami naturally made a promise that caught Hachiman off guard.

Why did you say something so misunderstandingable?!

Teenage boys are all idiots. A girl's ordinary expression of concern will make them misunderstand, let alone words like "I'm going to your house to play" which have obvious implications.

If it were an ordinary male high school student, he would probably already be thinking about getting rid of his childlike innocence by now, right?

Fortunately, Hachiman had long since outgrown that childish state, and the girl speaking to him was only a nine-year-old elementary school student, so he felt nothing at all.

"I don't think it's very good. Actually, I have a younger sister at home, and she doesn't like strangers."

"What?! Hachiman has a younger sister?! Damn it, you're such an enviable guy!"

The girl's grinning face was kind of cute, but Hachiman would never fall for such a simple trap.

"Hmph, then you can just be envious."

The two chatted casually, and when they reached a certain spot, Bana noticed that Anna suddenly stopped.

"Hachiman, I'm home."

"Ugh?"

Almost simultaneously, Hikigaya Station stood still and looked around. Next to him was an ordinary residential area, and most importantly, it was only about a kilometer away from his home.

It doesn't matter, as long as Hikigaya doesn't say anything, Yanami Anna probably won't realize it.

Yes, that way there won't be any unnecessary misunderstandings...

"Then I'll take my leave... Ah, Mr. Yashiro?"

Just as he was about to leave, Hachiman spotted a familiar figure not far away.

It is the study of the Eighth Generation.

By the way, I heard that the other party was going to make a home visit tonight. Could it be that this guy arrived here a long time ago and has been waiting since school ended?

"Hanami-kun, did Mr. Yashiro say anything to you before school ended?"

"Ah, I think so. He told me to wait in the classroom for a while after the last class, but I waited for a while and the teacher left before he came... By the way, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

Hana asked Anja, who seemed confused.

So that's how it is. Hikigaya guessed that Yanami Anna didn't wait long in the classroom before running away, so Yashiro Manabu went straight to her door.

Sigh, this has nothing to do with him, he should just run away...

Not wanting to get involved any further, Hachiman turned to go home.

"Then I'll leave first. See you tomorrow."

"Tomorrow...wait a minute, Hachiman-kun, why is Yashiro-sensei downstairs at my house? Is he following me?"

Just as she took out her keys, Anna noticed Manabu Yashiro standing at the door and immediately asked in a panic.

That idiot...

"Mr. Yashiro is just here for a home visit, right? It seems like this happens every school year. Anyway, good luck. I'm going back now."

"Wait a minute, Hachiman, are you planning to leave me here alone with another man?"

Wait, what's with that kind of talk? Don't call a responsible teacher a pervert!

Hachiman scratched his head in frustration:

"Don't overthink it. Teacher Yashiro is just here to ask about some basic information."

"That's not how it works. I'm a beautiful young girl, you know. Wouldn't it be dangerous to be with an adult man like that?"

Beautiful girl?

Hikigaya looked over with a slightly scrutinizing gaze. The body of a nine-year-old girl did not arouse any desire. Hikigaya suspected that apart from the most disgusting perverts, no one would be interested in Anna's body.

of course.

In a few more years, Anna Hanami might have grown into a beautiful young woman, but right now, that word has nothing to do with her.

"Hey hey~"

Realizing that a tough tone wasn't working, Anna changed her strategy midway and started tugging at Hachiman's sleeve and acting cute.

"I know Mr. Yashiro won't do anything, but wouldn't you be scared to go to the office alone? What if you get a harsh scolding or something? Having a companion with you would definitely make things much better, right?"

229 Little Liar

After all that, it turns out that Anna Hanami just wanted someone to share the burden, and Hachiman had already seen through her intentions.

However, he is partly to blame for the current situation.

If it weren't for him, Nijika and the others wouldn't have met Yanami. If they hadn't met Yanami, they wouldn't have invited her out today. If Yanami hadn't come out this afternoon, Yashiro Manabu might have been able to complete the conversation at school.

wrong!

Thinking about it carefully, isn't the root of all this because Yatsudai Gaku meddles?

That was close! I almost got blamed for this... Hachiman narrowly escaped unscathed and completed a perfect logical loop in his mind.

On the other side, Anna Hanami nervously watched the boy in front of her. One reason she hoped he could stay was that she wanted someone to share the pressure with Mr. Yashiro.

On the other hand, after her parents left home, Anna Hanami never felt safe. And the home visit meant being with someone she didn't know well, even though that person was her class teacher, she still felt uneasy.

"How about it?"

Seeing Hikigaya's thoughtful expression, Yana hesitated before tentatively asking:

"If it really doesn't work out, then forget it..."

"I understand, it'll only be for a little while."

"Oh, really? Hachiman, you absolutely can't lie to me, liars will have to swallow a thousand needles!" Anna said earnestly. "And if Yashiro-sensei gets angry, you have to speak up for me!"

"Tsk, so many demands... Wait a minute, Yue, did you do something outrageous in private, Banami-kun?"

Feeling inexplicably scrutinized, Bana noticed Anna's displeased pout and immediately clarified:

"No, not at all! I was just preparing in advance. What's that idiom again? 'Prepare for a rainy day'?"

If you haven't done anything wrong, you probably don't need to make any special preparations, right?

As expected, Anzu was hiding something from me.

but.

Since Hikigaya has already agreed to Anna's request, he won't care about these trivial matters. He can just find an excuse to slip away before Yashiro Manabu gets completely angry.

When it comes to escaping, Hachiman is very experienced.

After the two barely reached an agreement, Hikigaya slowly walked towards Yashiro Manabu.

Perhaps he had been waiting at the door for a long time, Yashiro Manabu tapped his stiff shoulder with his hand, then moved his arm. Just as he casually twisted his joints, he met the cautious gaze of Hachimi Anna.

"Ah, Yanami-kun, you're finally back... Hey, isn't this Hachiman? What are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Hikigaya following closely behind Anna Yashiro, Manabu Yashiro wore a thoughtful expression. Just as he was about to explain, Anna Yashiro spoke first:

"Teacher, we just went on a date!"

Upon hearing this, Yashiro Manabu observed the distance between the two with an inquisitive gaze, then smiled amicably:

"A date? Oh, I see. I didn't expect your relationship to develop so quickly."

"Hehe, then Hachiman wanted to come to my house as a guest, so I brought him over."

As Hachiman Anna rambled on with a straight face, Hachiman's brows furrowed deeply.

This little liar! Others have to swallow needles when they lie, but you get away with it?

Hachiman thought for a moment and decided to teach this little liar a lesson.

"I understand, but Hikigaya is a very popular guy, so you'd better make the most of this opportunity, Yanami."

Seizing the moment when Yashiro paused, Hachiman interrupted him directly:

"Please don't misunderstand, Mr. Yashiro. I was just going home with Hanami-kun because we were going the same way." Hikigaya said calmly. "Also, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Well, I'm fine here... In that case, see you at school tomorrow."

Sensing the uneasy look on Hachiman's face, Yashiro Manabu withdrew his attempt to persuade him to stay. Just then, Anna suddenly rushed out, her smile stiff, and said:

"Wait a minute, Hachiman, this isn't what we agreed on, is it?"

"...Sorry, I suddenly remembered I have something to do at home."

Anzu could tell that Hikigaya was actually fine and was just looking for an excuse to run away.

But what exactly did she do to make Hikigaya angry?

Recalling their previous conversation, Anna suddenly realized, "Hachiman-kun, did you get angry because I called our outing a date?"

angry?

No, Hachiman didn't feel there was anything to be angry about at all; his behavior was at most just being petulant...

The most important problem right now is that Anna Hanami is completely unaware of her mistake!

Therefore, he shook his head without changing his expression, maintaining an indifferent look on his face: "No, I'm not angry. Please move aside, I need to go home."

That reaction definitely means she's angry!

Although they had only known each other for a few days, Anna Hachiman was already able to discern changes in Hikigaya's mood from his subtle expressions.

The most useful method is to observe the other person's eyes—if you say you're not angry, those dead fish eyes are practically rotting!

"I'm sorry, I was just joking with Mr. Yashiro. If you mind, Hachiman, I can apologize!"

As he spoke, Hachiman saw Anzu's big, watery eyes staring straight at him, and Hachiman felt his arm being gripped tightly.

Perhaps it was because Banami's apology was so sincere that Hikigaya's resentment dissipated instantly.

"...Sigh, I'll go and explain this to Mr. Yashiro privately."

"Hehe, I knew Hachiman wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die."

The moment before, Yana saw Anzu's disappointed face and immediately smiled knowingly.

On his way to find Yashiro, Hachiman began to wonder if he was being too easy to deal with.

It's the same at home; if Komachi makes a mistake, I'll forgive her as soon as she apologizes a little. It's not good to bring this kind of habit outside...

Thinking about all this, Hikigaya walked up to Yashiro and asked if he could stay and join him.

"Of course! It makes me happy to see you two getting along so well." Yashiro Manabu quickly agreed, then said to Hanami Anna, "Hanami-kun, there's something I need to confirm again. Your parents will be available to answer the phone later, right?"

"Uh-huh."

Seeing that Anzu had nodded, Bana took out the key and led the other two into the house.

230 The All-Powerful Class Teacher

"These are slippers for guests only."

At the entrance, Hana saw Anzu politely take out two pairs of men's slippers.

"Then we won't be polite."

Hikigaya and Yashiro exchanged a glance, put on their slippers, and went into the room together.

The interior decoration style is relatively simple. The first floor is a living room for entertaining guests, a semi-open kitchen and a bathroom. After going up the stairs, the second floor is where the family lives.
