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

Nishimiya Shoko made a cute sound.

Hikigaya smiled as he looked at the two of them. Speaking of which, the sports festivals for other grades are also held together, right? I wonder if Ichinose-san participated.

Given her personality, she probably wouldn't volunteer, but if her classmates egg her on, she might be forced to participate in a project.

Well, after all, good kids don't know how to refuse others.

Speaking of which, I have to go to the shopping mall with Ichinose this weekend. Ugh, I want to escape...

Time flew by and it was afternoon. On his way home from school, Hikigaya happened to run into Ichinose Motoyo, whom he hadn't seen for a few days.

"Good afternoon, Hachiman-kun. Did you just finish class?"

Hachiman may not know if it's just his imagination, but Suze's smile seems more tired than usual, and her voice is also a bit hoarse.

Did something happen a few days ago?

Hachiman didn't have a habit of prying into other people's privacy, so he simply nodded obediently: "Ah, um."

"I heard from the teacher that the sports festival will be held next week. Is Hachiman participating in any events?"

No, I have no such plans.

"Why is Hachiman not good at sports?"

"Pretty much, and those positive and uplifting projects are completely unsuitable for me."

"No, Hachiman is very handsome. If you can participate in the competition, I'm sure you'll have a lot of supporters."

No, Ichinose-san, do you know what you're saying?

Hachiman hadn't heard anyone use the word "handsome" to describe him in a long time; before, he was always called a rat in the underpass or a stinking salted fish.

Honestly, he was still very touched, so please don't say it again next time.

Su Shi thought for a moment, then raised a finger in front of her chest: "As for me, I participated in the high jump event."

Upon hearing this, Hachiman stopped and glanced at Sose. He probably signed her up for the program because she was taller than her peers.

It is well known that boys and girls develop at different times.

Before junior high school, girls tend to develop faster than boys, and Ichinose Motoyo is currently a little taller than Hikigaya.

However, due to her somewhat insecure personality, Ichinose Motoyo walks with a stoop, making her appear shorter than she actually is.

"Then come on."

Seeing that Hachiman had lost interest in the conversation, Sose pursed her lips, mustered her courage, and said, "Um... By the way, Hachiman-kun, could you come and watch my match?"

You mean high jump?

If nothing unexpected happens, Hachiman will be in the stands the whole time, so this counts as watching Ichinose's match, right?

049 Training for the Sports Festival

No, no, no, that's such a stupid thing to say...

Hachiman's survival instinct kicked in instantly. He swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, scratched his head, and said, "If I have time then, I'll come over."

"Great."

Su Shi clutched her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Oh, by the way, Hachiman, could we postpone our appointment for next week for a little while?"

The weekend agreement referred to the two of them going out to buy prizes in the name of the Literature Club.

"Ah, um, I'm fine here, are the other members alright?" Although he felt it was unnecessary worry, Hachiman still wanted to ask.

“I’ve already discussed it with Ju, and everyone’s prizes will be distributed later,” Su Shi explained.

"Okay, contact me when you have time."

"Ah."

Under Hikigaya's watchful gaze, Ichinose Motoyo's figure disappeared into the distance.

Something's definitely not right...

I haven't heard of anything happening in the fourth grade, so is it a family issue?

Hachiman patiently guessed the reason. If it was something at school, he could still help, but if something happened at home, it would be difficult for him to get involved.

"Never mind, let's go back first."

...

With the sports festival approaching, the already restless kids could no longer control their inner wildness, and you could hear a lot of whispering during class.

Knowing this, the teachers simply increased the number of physical education classes, which gave Hachiman a real headache.

The weather is starting to get hot, and Hachiman would rather lie in an air-conditioned room and sleep than run under a clear blue sky.

Okay, it's not air-conditioning season yet, but could we please stop having so many PE classes?

Students who had signed up for the events practiced their events, while unemployed individuals like Hachiman were free to do as they pleased. As the sports festival approached, he could clearly sense the restless atmosphere in the class.

It was exactly the same as during the choir competition.

Fortunately, some of the mischievous kids have been transferred to other classes, so everyone has calmed down a bit.

only.

Hachiman realized he had underestimated the imagination of elementary school students.

"Teacher, I have training in the afternoon and evening, so can I skip my homework?"

During a math class, a student openly made this request.

To his surprise, the math teacher actually agreed.

At that moment, Hachiman finally understood that some things had to be borne alone, and he silently opened a new workbook.

I'll crush you guys!

As soon as the bell rang to signal the end of the third period in the afternoon, the boys shot off like arrows. This time, the girls didn't complain; instead, they followed closely behind them.

The boys sprinted like robots clearing obstacles, while the girls followed slowly behind, chatting and laughing as they arrived at the playground to practice their respective events.

Hachiman also arrived at the playground today.

It wasn't that he wanted to train, but when he got home yesterday, he learned that Komachi was also participating in the sports festival, so he offered to help with the training.

"Onii-chan, is this the right way to do it?"

Hikigaya looked at Komachi, who was stretching her body beside him, with a respectful gaze, and couldn't help but smile, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

"Mmm, Komachi is great! If you could have used a little more force, that would have been even better. Warming up is very important."

"Oh."

Komachi obediently moved her wrists.

At that moment, Nishimiya Shoko, who was training alone on the track, saw the brother and sister and hesitated for a moment whether to go over and talk to them.

...She and Hikigaya are already friends, right?

It's normal for friends to train together, but Nishimiya Shoko was very nervous.

After hesitating for a long time, Nishimiya Shoko finally clenched her fist and carefully walked over.

"Hikigaya-kun!"

"Oh, it's Nishimiya. What's the matter?"

Hachiman looked the girl in front of him up and down. To make training easier, she had changed into loose-fitting sweatpants and a top, with a sweat-wicking bodysuit underneath.

However, Nishimiya Shoko is not the kind of person who focuses on flashy equipment; on the contrary, she is quite strong among the girls.

Hikigaya thought that if she was lucky, Nishimiya Shoko might be able to get into the top three in her grade.

"Can we train together?"

“Ah, um, no problem.” Hachiman then looked at Komachi’s position. “Komachi, come and do some warm-up exercises with Nishimiya.”

He was short of a helper. Although he could do it himself, it would be better to have someone else do it to avoid being misunderstood by Komachi's classmates.

Nishimiya Shoko gripped the edge of her clothes tightly and nodded shyly.

Did you do any warm-up exercises?

Because he didn't know how to express "warm-up," Hachiman used a simple chest expansion exercise to represent it.

Nishimiya Shoko shook her head blankly.

Hachiman sighed and said to her, "Come with me. Komachi is here too, so you can come together."

"Onii-chan, I'm here!" Komachi ran over quickly. "Oh, Nishimiya-neechan is here too. Good afternoon, I'll be troubling you later!"

"Uh-huh."

Although the two already knew each other, Komachi was completely unfamiliar with sign language, so Hachiman acted as her translator.

"Speaking of which, does Nishimiya-neechan also have a younger sister? Could you introduce her to Komachi next time?"

Nishimiya Shoko has a younger sister, whom Hachiman has met before. Her name is something like Yuzuru.

That child's personality is somewhat similar to Komachi's; they are both the cheerful type.

After a moment's thought, Hikigaya relayed Komachi's words to Nishimiya Shoko.

Knowing Komachi's thoughts, Nishimiya Shoko nodded happily, then clasped her hands together firmly: "Yuzuru, I'll definitely like Yuzuru!"

"I'll leave the rest to you, Nishimiya-neechan."

"Alright, alright, don't forget we're here to practice." Seeing that the two were about to continue chatting, Hachiman interrupted, "Speaking of which, you both signed up for the running event, right? Do you need me to time you?"

"want!"

Komachi didn't hold back at all, and Nishimiya Shoko also became lively under the influence of the atmosphere.

Nishimiya Shoko signed up for the 100-meter dash, while Komachi signed up for the 50-meter dash. The two trained at roughly the same pace, so Hachiman comfortably became their coach.

At that moment, Hongxia rushed out from the inner track.

"Hachigaya-kun is biased, I want to play with him too!"

"No, we're not playing around." Hachiman refused outright. "Besides, Ijichi-kun, aren't you running the 1000 meters? It's not very appropriate for you to run out of the training team without permission, is it?"

Hikigaya saw that the girl who was running ahead of Nijika had stopped and seemed to be complaining about something.

Come to think of it, this child clearly signed up with Nishimiya Shoko at the same time, but how come one of them participated in the 100-meter race while the other went to run the 1000-meter race?

It's really incomprehensible.

“Sigh,” Hongxia pouted, “because there are no more spots left for the 100-meter race. Actually, I also wanted to run the 100-meter race with Xiaozi-chan.”

Hachiman blinked: "But you'll be rivals then, is that okay?"

"Oh, then forget it." Hongxia said with an awkward smile.

"Nijika-chan, training isn't over yet!" A girl in the distance waved her hands.

Hearing this, Nijika turned around and responded, then said to Hachiman, "Well, Hachiman-kun, I'm going back to training now. Shoko-chan, Komachi, good luck!"

Nishinomiya Glass & Komachi: "Oh!"

050 Unknown female passerby

After training at school, Hikigaya took Komachi on their way home.

"Ah, Onii-chan, my legs are a little sore."

Komachi, rubbing her calf, couldn't help but complain as she felt the pain from the lactic acid buildup.

Hachiman said with concern, "Hang in there for now, Onii-chan will give you a massage when we get back."

"it is good."

Seeing Komachi limping, Hachiman said with concern, "If you really can't walk anymore, just tell me, and I'll carry you back."

"No need, Komachi can still walk."

Whether out of resentment or not wanting to trouble others, Komachi insisted on walking home by herself. Hikigaya found this both amusing and helpless, and followed closely behind Komachi, afraid that the child might accidentally fall.
