For some reason, Hachiman's danger radar started beeping wildly.

The frightened girl thought she had done something wrong and apologized in a tearful voice, "Waaah, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have asked other people's names."

"No, that's not what I meant."

Su Shi wasn't really angry. Realizing that her tone had been too harsh, she immediately tried to comfort him.

But having little contact with friends and little life experience, she had no idea how to comfort someone her age, and could only anxiously waddle around the girl like a puppy.

"Ahem." Hachiman coughed lightly, then reached out and touched the girl's fluffy hair. "It's okay, it's okay, don't cry. Do you want some candy?"

Su Shi stared in disbelief at the scene. How could you be so skilled at this?!

In fact, Hikigaya has a lot of experience when it comes to dealing with younger women.

After all, when Komachi was little, she often threw tantrums, and he, as her older brother, always coaxed her through it.

With Hachiman's constant comforting words, the girl finally stopped crying. Her face was a little flushed as she said, "My name is Shizuka Inori. If I make it to the national tournament, will you come to see me?"

"No, then forget it." Hachiman decisively rejected this unnecessary request.

"Whoa!"

After another wail, Su Shi rolled her eyes at Hachiman Hikigaya and then ruffled his hair, mimicking his earlier action.

"Hachiman was just joking with you. If he makes it to the national tournament, he'll definitely come."

"really?"

"sodayo~"

"Hey, don't make decisions for me without my permission," Hachiman complained, but this time he didn't refuse Inori's request to end the matter.

Anyway, Hachiman thought that even if Inori finished, she wouldn't be able to get into the National Tournament. You have to understand that it's the highest level competition in Japan. It's not that easy to participate.

Do you think everyone is like Sakuragi Hanamichi, able to dominate the national championships after just a few days of basketball training?

nonexistent.

Upon hearing Su Shi's words, Jie Qi stopped crying once again. She hugged the book to her chest tightly, as if she had made up her mind.

"I'll be going now, goodbye."

"Goodbye~"

After Qi left, Su Shi sighed silently. After what had just happened, she seemed to have a more comprehensive understanding of the boy in front of her.

but.

"Hachiman, did you actually prefer cute and adorable girls?"

I always felt there was a hint of barb in Su Shi's words, but it didn't matter; Hachiman was already used to this kind of treatment.

"No, I only like girls like Komachi."

"Komachi, could you tell me more about it?"

Looking at Suze's expressionless face, Hachiman felt like crying. Indeed, living alone is the best!

012 It's dangerous outside.

Back home, Hachiman's parents returned earlier than usual today, so there was no need for him to act as the cook.

However, during dinner, Komachi inadvertently let slip that Hikigaya had cooked at home the night before, and Hikigaya's parents immediately looked at their eldest son with a strange expression.

It is indeed a bit unbelievable that someone in the third grade of elementary school could cook, but you don't need to look at me like that!

Hikigaya was too ashamed to say a word at the dinner table, but his parents didn't say much. Instead, they were pleased that their son had finally acquired a skill.

"Hachiman, you want to be a chef when you grow up, right? Dad will arrange a school for you. Go and study there after you graduate from elementary school!"

This old man has clearly misunderstood something. He didn't learn to cook because he liked it. Can't he think about the problem from his own perspective?

After half an hour of debating, Hachiman's survival instinct kicked in, and he finally dissuaded his parents from sending him to learn to be a chef after graduation.

After finishing his meal, Hachiman lay blankly on the bed and started to stare into space.

Without a computer or a game console, the nine-year-old had nothing to do after school, and at that age, he couldn't even be properly comforted.

For the first time, he deeply felt how slowly time passed at the age of nine. Hachiman couldn't help but wonder what he was doing at this time in the past.

After fiddling around for a while, I looked at the clock and realized it was only seven o'clock. Should I study instead?

Hikigaya quickly banished this dangerous thought from his mind. If his family found out that he was secretly studying junior and senior high school courses in his room, he might be taken to some strange place to be subjected to terrible human experiments.

After thinking it over, Hachiman, bored out of his mind, opened the door and prepared to go on an adventure outside.

It was completely dark outside, and the temperature and humidity were at their most comfortable. Many people took advantage of this time to go for a walk. Hachiman avoided the large crowds and unknowingly arrived at the park.

Here, he unexpectedly encountered a guy he didn't really want to see.

"Good evening, Piggy!"

"it is good."

Hikigaya looked at Nishimiya Shoko in front of him. She had gone home and changed her clothes. She was wearing a light pink T-shirt on top and a white princess skirt on the bottom.

She had probably just taken a shower; the ends of her wet hair were sticking up, her cheeks were rosy, and there was a scent of children's bath wash in the air.

“Ni is doing deep ink here.”

Nishimiya Shoko, who hadn't brought her notebook, spoke while gesturing in sign language.

"...Sorry, I don't quite understand."

Hikigaya shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Nishimiya Shoko pursed her lips, then suddenly remembered something, patted Hachiman's shoulder, and then walked away in small steps.

Logically, Nishimiya Shoko meant for him to stay here, but Hachiman just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

But for some reason, he ended up standing there obediently, which made even himself feel disgusted.

Fortunately, not long after, Nishimiya Shoko brought back a little girl who was about the same age as Komachi.

Hachiman couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"younger sister."

This time, Nishimiya Shoko's pronunciation was very standard.

So that's how it is. She's Nishimiya's younger sister. Although she's quite cute, she's nowhere near as cute as Komachi.

However, he has always been quite friendly towards younger girls.

"Hello, I am your sister's classmate, Hachiman Hikigaya."

"Hello, my name is Nishimiya Yuzuru."

After Yuzuru Nishimiya finished introducing herself, she immediately turned around and pulled Shoko Nishimiya aside: "Hey, sis, is he the friend you were talking about? Wow, you're amazing! You really did it!"

Nishimiya Shoko smiled foolishly, then shook her head with some regret after a few seconds, using sign language to indicate to Nishimiya Yuzuru that Hikigaya was not her friend.

"What? It wasn't like that all along?"

Nishimiya Yuzuru stared in shock, her eyes wide.

"I wanted to be friends with Hachiman, but he rejected me."

Seeing her older sister's worried expression, Nishimiya Yuzuru's little brain started working at lightning speed, and she suddenly felt that she understood everything.

Damn it, that guy named Hachiman must be here to mess with my sister, otherwise why would he refuse her request!

"Sister, don't worry, I'll protect you."

Having successfully completed the logical loop, Nishimiya Yuzuru decides to stand up for herself. The thing she hates most is being bullied by Nishimiya Shoko. Both of them have to go to school during the day, so there's not much she can do. But since this time someone has run into her, she can't just sit idly by.

Yuzuru Nishimiya roared as she walked toward Hachiman: "Hey, I'm warning you, don't you dare bully my sister again!"

Looking at the fierce-looking Nishimiya Yuzuru, Hikigaya only paused for a moment before realizing what was going on.

Ah, but it's a bit troublesome to explain, so I'll skip it.

Hachiman assessed the situation and immediately bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, you were right to reprimand me. I will be more careful in the future. Goodbye."

He thought the other party would at least say something in response, and Nishimiya Yuzuru even had a smooth little combo planned for the next move.

Who knew that the boy had no intention of defending himself at all. After apologizing, he ran away, leaving her standing there, drawing her sword and looking around in confusion.

Wait a minute, what's going on here?!

Yuzuru Nishimiya sensed something was wrong, but she followed him anyway: "Wait a minute, don't go!"

"Um, I have something to do later. If you feel that my apology just now wasn't enough, I will personally go and apologize to Nishimiya tomorrow."

"No, go apologize to my sister right now!" Nishimiya Yuzuru, disregarding all martial ethics, grabbed Hikigaya like a spider in the next instant: "Hmph, now you can't escape!"

Hachiman was speechless. This girl was so young and already knew how to use her body. She'd grow up to be a bad woman.

Okay, actually Hachiman doesn't even know what he's thinking. Hurry up and find someone to take her away!

"Hey, don't touch it!"

"That line was clearly mine!"

"Yuzuru!"

Sensing something was wrong, Nishimiya Shoko finally rushed over. While explaining, she pulled Nishimiya Yuzuru away from Hachiman: "Hachiman-kun, no, you didn't bully me!"

"Oh, sister, are you serious?"

"You're right!"

Yuzuru Nishimiya looked back and forth between Hikigaya and Shoko Nishimiya, and a few seconds later his face turned as red as a monkey's bottom.

"I'm so sorry, I misunderstood you!"

Hachiman had no interest in arguing with Yuzuru Nishimiya. All he wanted to do was go home. Although it was boring, it was safe. "Komachi, I was wrong. Onii-chan shouldn't have come out at night."

"I don't mind, so can we go now?"

Hachiman turned and left without waiting for a reply.

"Um, Hikigaya, Hikigaya-kun... Hachiman Onii-chan!"

"?"

After seeing Hikigaya suddenly stop, Yuzuru Nishimiya was silent for a moment, then said to Shoko Nishimiya with a mischievous grin, "Sister, that guy is indeed dangerous."

013 An Abnormal Choir Competition

Hey, don't think I didn't hear you! Just now... just now, Onii-chan's radar was activated!

Damn it, next time I'll set it to only apply to Komachi.

Yes, that's right, I definitely don't like being called "Onii-chan" or anything like that...

"sorry."

While Hikigaya was lost in thought, Nishimiya Yuzuru walked up to him with an overly familiar expression: "This is the first time I've met my sister's classmate. If it's convenient, may I ask you for some advice?"

Hikigaya glanced at Nishimiya Shoko and answered frankly, "To be honest, I don't get along well with your sister."

"Ugh?"

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Nishimiya Yuzuru's face, but she forced herself to continue asking, "It's okay, it's okay. Anyway, you and my sister are in the same class, right? I just wanted to know if my sister has any friends at school."

friend?

If chatting together and going to the bathroom together constitutes friendship, then Nishimiya Shoko has indeed made a lot of "friends".

However, Hikigaya was certain that Nishimiya Yuzuru wasn't referring to this type of friend, so he remained silent for a moment before replying, "I don't know the specifics, but I think there are some."

"real?!"

"Wouldn't it be better if you asked your sister?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya lowered her head: "With my sister like this, she's easily deceived..."
