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

Encouraged by his classmates, the vice class monitor, sitting in the front row, spoke to Hachiman as he entered, in a friendly but slightly fearful tone.

When I looked over, the other person instinctively flinched.

Hachiman paused, then nodded in response:

"morning."

"Well, morning!"

Hey, do you really need to repeat yourself? Just how nervous are you...?

On his way to the back row, Hachiman overheard the vice class monitor whispering to his deskmate.

"Hachiman doesn't seem that difficult to communicate with, but his eyes are definitely a bit scary."

"He's alright, just a bit fierce. If you ignore his eyes, he's quite handsome."

I remember Komachi saying that if she didn't have those rotten, dead fish eyes, she would be considered quite good-looking among ordinary people.

However, he didn't think that things were bad as they were.

Just as he reached his seat, he heard a girl from the next row greet him.

"Good morning, Hachiman Hikigaya..."

"Ah."

Hachiman once again focused his attention and nodded in a friendly gesture to the other party.

But just then, as if a switch had been flipped, the students in the class shouted out one by one:

"Hikigaya-kun!"

"Hikigaya!" "Hikigaya!"

What's going on? Is this some new form of bullying?

And who was that guy named Hitori just now? Come out here right now!

Looking at these impulsive kids with a headache, Hachiman threw his backpack on the chair with a cold face and slipped out of the classroom without saying a word.

Indeed, it's best to hide for now in this situation.

Just as the school bell was about to ring, Hachiman slowly walked back to the classroom from the corridor. The inexplicable wave of greetings subsided a bit, but after Hachiman sat down, he could still hear some intermittent greetings.

Wait a minute, will I have to experience a similar scene every day from now on?

Ugh, he doesn't want to spend so much time dealing with so many idiots!

I should have just ignored the sports festival!

Regretting the decision he made last week, Hachiman reluctantly organized his morning textbooks while pondering his next move.

"Morning, Hikigaya-kun."

"..."

Why come again?

Hikigaya's eyes were cold, but when he looked up and saw that energetic smiling face, his expression softened a little.

"Ah, good morning..."

By the way, what did she just call me?

Hikigaya-kun?

It must be referring to bacteria! Yes, that must be it. I got this nickname because I touched a girl with wet water when I was in elementary school.

Although it didn't make much difference to Hachiman whether he was called "classmate" or "kid," surprisingly, he couldn't calm down after hearing it.

Suppressing the turmoil of self-consciousness within him, Hachiman decided to ignore the subtle changes in the other person's tone for the time being and continue with his work.

Nijika patiently watched Hachiman's actions, her concerned voice following.

"Hachiman, is your leg feeling better?"

"Ah, um, it hasn't hurt much since yesterday."

Hikigaya raised his lower leg, indicating that his injury was no longer a problem and there was nothing to worry about.

In fact, this body heals very quickly. However, after the scab forms, the scar is a bit itchy, and Hachiman can't help but scratch it. There's always a voice in his head telling him to tear off that thin scab.

"That's it, that's good."

Nijika smiled easily. "Hehe, speaking of which, has Hachiman-kun noticed anything different about me today?"

Sigh, is this a hint to me?

Hikigaya paused, pondering the meaning behind Ichiji Nijika's sudden change of address.

In front of him, a girl wearing a white long-sleeved T-shirt and a blue mini-skirt swayed her body, her golden hair dancing in the air.

"Look, look."

Hikigaya subconsciously raised his eyes.

How should I put it? It's so cute and adorable.

Oh no, oh no, if this keeps up I'm going to become a lolicon! Calm down!

...Getting back to the main point, Ichiji Nijika was asking herself if there was anything different about her?

Uh, I don't think I've seen much of it.

Just then, a red hairpin caught Hachiman's eye. He hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly:

"That hair clip, is it?"

"Oh dear, Hachiman has spotted us."

Shyly scratching her hair, Nijika gave Hikigaya an embarrassed smile.

No, no, no, you've shown it so obviously, it's impossible not to notice, right?

"Well, it looks... good on your head after all."

Nijika generously accepted the compliment from Hikigaya.

"Thank you! This is a gift from my mom. My sister has one too, but she didn't seem to be wearing it this morning."

Recalling the scene of Ijichi Hoshika rushing out the door this morning, Nijika unconsciously puffed out her cheeks again. Honestly, her older sister isn't cute at all! So, she shouldn't use such a cute hair clip!

Such cute decorations probably don't suit a rebellious rock image, right?

Hachiman thought to himself silently.

When Ichika Iji was mentioned, Hachiman couldn't help but think of those delinquents in TV dramas who always talked about "teme"...

Wait a minute, there's a difference between rock and delinquents. Hachiman isn't someone from the Showa era; he wouldn't equate a rock band with a delinquent girl.

As for Ichika Hoshika's decision to form a band during her senior year of high school, all he can say is that everyone has their own ambitions, and not everyone needs to go to university.

Japan's university enrollment rate is only 50%, so it's reasonable for Ijichi Seika to directly enter the workforce.

At this point, the girl's golden hair caught Hachiman's attention.

The child's hair seems to have grown a bit longer, but that's probably just his imagination.

However, focusing on such minute details feels somewhat disgusting, and the things I say will definitely be disliked by others.

The two chatted for a while longer, and just as the morning meeting bell rang, Teacher Xiaoba entered the classroom on time.

She delivered the morning meeting's agenda in a cold voice:

"The sports festival is over, and everyone performed wonderfully, especially one student who sacrificed himself for everyone else. This is something we should all learn from."

Tsk.

He knew he would be persecuted at the morning meeting!

Noticing that everyone around him was looking at him, Hachiman shifted uncomfortably, then stared blankly at the blackboard with his chin held high.

Ugh, I want to die!

The thought of running the last day of the race last week and being dragged to the finish line by Nijigasaki made Hachiman a little defensive.

That's not enough. A few days later, they'll drag him out and whip his corpse. Are they trying to kill us?!

Chapter 75 Let's go shopping together!

"Once the deed is done, let bygones be bygones, and keep your merits and fame hidden!"

At that moment, some idiot from who-knows-where blurted out this sentence.

Everyone wanted to applaud, but before they could, Teacher Xiao Ba suddenly coughed:

"Ahem, but after that, the midterm exams are coming up soon, so please pay attention not only to physical education but also to your academic performance."

After a brief pause, Teacher Xiaoba said the terrifying words with a blank expression, "Oh, by the way, those who don't pass the test will have their parents come to the office. I hope everyone can work harder so that the teachers don't have to work overtime."

"Ugh!"

Upon hearing this, the class erupted in wails, and the oppressive atmosphere from before vanished instantly.

Calling in parents for failing just one subject is really harsh.

Well, Hachiman isn't worried. He always had excellent grades in elementary school and didn't have any particular weakness in any subject. His poor math skills only became apparent in middle school.

Moreover, Hachiman has been working very hard during this period.

He flipped through the textbooks on his desk. Hachiman had already reviewed all of his elementary school math lessons last week.

Although the content is very simple, many people often make mistakes in these simple areas when they reach junior and senior high school. Building a solid foundation is essential to making learning more efficient.

But then another question arises: now that Hachiman has finished reviewing his elementary school textbooks, what should he do next?

Should I go and practice middle school problems?

I decided against it, since it would be too conspicuous!

Having not yet figured out a course of action, Hachiman simply let his mind wander, and the day quickly passed.

After school, Hikigaya slowly packed his schoolbag, but just as he was about to leave the classroom, he bumped into Ichinose Motoyo, who was waiting outside.

Sigh, why is Ichinose here?

"Ichinose-san, is there something you need?"

"Um, Hachiman, are you free in the afternoons these days?"

Su Shi gripped the edge of her skirt tightly, speaking somewhat awkwardly.

Observing the other person's expression, Hikigaya noticed that Ichinose's complexion had improved considerably since the sports festival, suggesting that things at home had settled down a bit.

He thought for a moment and replied:

"I'll make time, probably to buy prizes for the competition?"

"Ah, um."

Actually, it wasn't just about buying prizes; Suze also had a thought about going out with Hachiman, but she felt it wouldn't be appropriate to bring it up here, so she kept it to herself.

"May I?"

"I'm fine with that, um... how about tomorrow? I'll take Komachi back and then come over, that should be enough time."

"sure."

……

The next day, Hachiman quickly took Komachi home, then returned the way he came with his schoolbag.

Honestly, he really wouldn't want to go out if it weren't for repaying Ichinose Motoyo's help.

Moreover, the weather is getting hotter and hotter; the sun at four o'clock is so scorching.

Hachiman raised his hand to block out the glaring sunlight, then walked along the shadows cast by the wall.

Soon, he arrived at the school gate. Because of club activities, noisy laughter and chatter could be heard from the school buildings, and the sports field next door was also bustling with activity.

These kids seem to have absolutely no sense of urgency that midterms are coming up, right?

Hachiman watched their lively performance while waiting by the bushes not far from the school gate.

A few minutes later, he saw Ichinose Motoyo walk out from under the school building and head straight towards him.
