The physical strength of office workers is significantly different from that of police officers who are often on field duty, so Su Shi's father was stopped by a flying tackle before he had run far, and then a pair of beautiful silver bracelets appeared on his hands.
After that, the police officers at the scene quickly called for backup.
Hachiman was first rushed to a nearby hospital, and after it was confirmed that his organs were not damaged and that he was able to move normally, he was taken back to the nearby police station.
Considering Hachiman's age and the psychological trauma he had just experienced, the police station specially assigned a young and beautiful female officer to accompany him.
"Little one, does your tummy still hurt? Do you want me to rub it for you?"
"No, no need."
Hikigaya declined the policewoman's unreasonable request, and upon hearing this, she showed a somewhat disappointed expression, then muttered angrily to herself.
"How could someone bully such a cute child? That guy is a complete scumbag."
Hikigaya agrees with that... well, in a place full of scum.
However, to be fair, he was probably quite good-looking when he was young; you could even call him cute, though he didn't grow up to be as attractive after entering junior high school.
Wait a minute, is this the peak of his life?
Looking around at his surroundings, Hachiman realized that he had accomplished a feat he had never achieved in his previous life, and proudly puffed out his chest.
"Ah, it hurts!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, let me rub it for you."
In the end, Hachiman couldn't escape the female police officer's groping hands.
After waiting in the room for a while, Hachiman's parents finally arrived at the scene. After checking Hachiman's injuries, the two asked to take him home.
Unfortunately, considering that there were still details that needed to be confirmed, their requests were not fulfilled.
After an unknown amount of time, Teacher Xiaoba arrived at the police station.
After meeting Hachiman's unexpected gaze, the young, beautiful teacher said with concern:
"Hachiman, how's the situation now?"
"Well, he's still being interrogated in his room, and the specific results haven't come out yet." After a pause, Hachiman continued, "Hopefully, Ichinose will have made some progress on this matter."
Upon hearing this, Teacher Xiaoba couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise, her eyes trembling slightly.
Did this child already have this planned out all along?
Ms. Xiaoba, who had been suspicious of the matter, connected all the clues and quickly came to a conclusion.
Hikigaya deliberately provoked Motoyo's father to anger, and then, with the help of the police, arrested him after his opponent made a move.
From the perspective of methods alone, there is nothing wrong with it. Knowing the inside story, Mr. Koba can understand the meaning of what Hachiman did. But did he not consider how much danger he would encounter by doing this?
Teacher Xiaoba covered his forehead and sighed helplessly.
"No, Hachiman, I meant your injuries."
Oh, so that's what you meant.
Hachiman paused for a moment, then casually raised his small arm as if to prove he was healthy:
"Teacher Xiaoba, don't worry, I'm fine. I don't even have any minor injuries. I'll be jumping around again tomorrow."
Unexpectedly, Ms. Xiaoba did not answer directly, but remained silent for a long time before saying, word by word:
"This is the second time already. In terms of the result, you did very well, but if possible, I hope you will not use this self-harming method again."
"No, these things are not enough to hurt me."
Even though he felt that what he said had not revealed any flaws, Hachiman still subconsciously looked away.
"But aren't you already injured?"
"...Well, how should I put it, I'm sorry."
He sincerely apologized, explaining that the last time, it was because of his meddling that he had caused great trouble for Teacher Xiaoba, who could have been peacefully lounging in the infirmary.
Well, I really am an incompetent and bad student.
"Don't worry about it. I'm still your teacher. Don't worry about the school anymore. I'll handle it properly."
"Wait a moment."
Before Mr. Koba could finish speaking, Hachiman quickly interrupted:
"Ms. Xiaoba, could you please help me with something else regarding the school, if possible?"
"what?"
Just as Mr. Koba was feeling confused, Hachiman gestured for him to squat down a little.
Obeying his wishes, Ms. Koba squatted down. After hearing what Hachiman said, she was first surprised, then showed a somewhat puzzled expression.
"Hachiman, what exactly is the point of doing this?"
"Teacher, you understand that even if the school takes measures, this matter will eventually be exposed."
Ms. Koba pursed her lips; she understood the meaning behind Hachiman's words.
The truth will eventually come out, and news of the two being taken to the police station will soon spread throughout the school. Even if the school tries to exert pressure, it probably won't be able to do much.
What she couldn't accept was Hachiman's way of handling things.
“So, since we can’t stop the rumors from spreading, we should try to guide the specific content of the rumors.” Hikigaya raised his finger and explained his thoughts, “It was Hikigaya who deliberately provoked that adult, which is why the other party lost his mind and attacked.”
"No, don't you think this idea is too simplistic? Why would everyone..."
Teacher Xiaoba was about to retort when she suddenly stopped.
"Ah, normally it wouldn't work, but if it were me, I might change things depending on the situation."
Hachiman said expressionlessly.
Just as Teacher Xiaoba said, no matter how much public opinion is guided, the facts cannot be changed. After all, even if people don't understand the situation, they can't believe that an adult would fight because of a primary school student's provocation.
Even if we assume the one who provoked first was wrong, the adult who lost their temper because of it was definitely more wrong.
however.
Hikigaya's situation is different. In the previous bullying incident involving Ishida Shoya, he was the "culprit" who instigated the incident, and to some extent, he can be said to have a "previous record" of violent incidents.
Most humans have preconceived stereotypes, and once they label someone in their minds, many absurd things can be explained in a perfectly reasonable way.
Looking at this matter from this perspective, Hachiman naturally becomes the party that needs to take more responsibility.
Therefore, this is a despicable method that only Hachiman has, and no one else can replicate it.
Hearing these distorted words, Ms. Xiaoba was speechless for a long time, then, looking very troubled, she rubbed her forehead and let out a long sigh:
"Hachiman, I understand what you mean, but that doesn't mean you have to bear all the responsibility alone."
“Taking on responsibility? On the contrary, these are things I’m best at.”
Glamorous gimmicks were never what Hachiman wanted; dark and cramped corners were his favorite stage.
"you..."
Even if we refuse here, the child will probably still make his own decision in the end.
Mr. Koba stared at Hachiman for a long time, speechless, before finally exhaling through his nose, seemingly agreeing with Hachiman's actions.
Is that alright?
Motoyo's father learned his lesson, the Ichinose family gained useful evidence, and Motoyo will no longer be looked down upon because of the rumors. The only price is that Hachiman will once again become the target of the school's attacks.
However, he was already used to it, and as a person at the very bottom, Hachiman felt that even if his reputation was bad, it wouldn't affect his life at all.
After doing all this, Hachiman closed his eyes and leaned back on the bench, a wave of intense fatigue washing over him.
No matter how hard he tries, his body is only nine years old. Under these circumstances, he has come up with the best solution he can.
Ugh, I'm so tired. I hope I can get a good night's sleep when I get home today.
I stayed at the police station until around 10 p.m. before all the interrogations were over. Before leaving, I didn't see Motoyo's father. The policewoman said that he seemed to have other matters to attend to and needed to be kept at the police station for further questioning.
Although the other party did not say it explicitly, Hachiman guessed that it was probably something like domestic violence or gambling that had come to light.
From the police station's perspective, each of these incidents individually is not very important, but when they are all connected, they become a major focus of attention.
Unfortunately, Hachiman no longer had the energy to pay attention to these things. He followed his parents home in a daze and fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
The next day, the sun rises.
Hachiman felt much better, but to his surprise, his mother insisted that he should not go to school alone anymore.
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry!"
"Hachiman, for the rest of this semester, I will pick you up after school every day."
Hachiman's mother spoke very seriously, while Hachiman looked distressed.
"Hey, are you kidding me, Mom? What will happen to the company if you come over?"
"I'll ask for leave properly over there."
Last night's experience left a very deep impression on Hachiman's parents. Although they hadn't shown much concern for Hachiman on the surface over the past few years, it didn't mean they would just stand by and watch him go to extremes.
Hachiman thinks they're making a fuss over nothing, but he can't control his parents' thinking, so what should he do?
There's no other way but to endure it!
Anyway, it's only one semester, so just hang in there and it'll be over.
Upon arriving at school, sure enough, news of Hachiman being called to the police station the previous night had already spread throughout the school.
"Hachiman, were you alright yesterday?"
Hongxia approached with concern. She had heard that Hachiman had gotten into a fight with an adult yesterday, and when she heard the news this morning, she was almost scared to death.
"No, I'm fine."
After the misunderstanding was cleared up, Hongxia felt a little relieved, but Nishimiya Shoko, who was slightly clearer about the situation, was not so easy to deal with.
Before the class bell rang, she was restless, holding her notebook, as if she wanted to come over and ask for clarification.
Hikigaya explained it again with the same reasoning, though he didn't know if it would reassure Nishimiya Shoko, but that was all he could say.
During lunch break, Hikigaya went to the fourth grade. Ichinose Motoyo's seat was empty, so he asked the fourth graders, but they didn't know Ichinose Motoyo's whereabouts either.
094 The Truth and Ichinose Motoyo (4K)
Where will Ichinose Motoyo go at this time?
There are a few places I can think of, and it wouldn't take long to eliminate them one by one, but Hachiman isn't in a hurry. He figured it wouldn't matter if Akari came after school.
Just as Hachiman was preparing to return, someone from Class 4-A finally recognized him.
"Wait a minute, you're not that weirdo from third grade, are you?"
"wack?"
Hachiman looked back and saw the short-haired girl covering her mouth, making a terrified expression as she backed away, while her companions spontaneously huddled together.
"Oh no, it really seems like it! Is this guy here to settle scores with Ichinose-san...?"
"What's going on? Why don't the teachers do anything about these weird guys?"
"Would he even dare to hit a teacher?!"
"That's terrible! He's practically a delinquent. Can't we expel him?!"
In front of Hachiman, the group began to complain as if no one else was around.
Hey, if I were really a delinquent, I would have been beaten up the moment you guys started giving me those looks.
So it's true that elementary school students this age haven't experienced the harsh realities of society, and they dare to say anything. But Hachiman isn't surprised at all.
This result, in fact, proved that his approach was correct.
Hachiman gave the other person a cold look, then ignored the kids' conversation and strode toward the cafeteria. On the way, he heard whispers from all the grades.
It was nothing more than some exclusionary and malicious slander, which Hachiman was already tired of hearing. Apart from finding it a bit noisy, it didn't bother him at all.
After arriving at the cafeteria, Hachiman went to the familiar window and quietly ordered a bowl of soba noodles.
"One serving of buckwheat noodles."
Sensing a hint of dislike in the voice, Hachiman slowly raised his head and found the lady at the food window scrutinizing him with a slightly appraising gaze.
