But then, I was all alone in the activity room again.
While she was feeling down, Hachiman returned to the activity room with his new book in his arms. His eyes were shining like a child who had just received a new toy for the New Year.
It's rare to see Hachiman's face like that...
Can I read all of these books?
Hikigaya asked a strange question.
"sure."
"Then I'm not welcome!"
"Hikigaya-san..."
Su Shi slowly approached, wanting to know what book had piqued Hachiman's interest so much.

015 Hachiman's Escape Route
"After losing my sister, I thought I could destroy the world, but then I found out that my sister had always been by my side... How should I put it, Hikigaya's reading range is surprisingly wide."
Hey, even though this isn't some weird book, could you please not read it aloud? It's super embarrassing!
Hikigaya casually wiped the sweat from his brow and said in a serious tone, "Ichinose-san, don't be fooled by the title of this book. A true siscon wouldn't read a book like this."
That's right, this book is also known as "My Sister, Another World". Although it uses the "sister" theme, it is actually a very traditional isekai (another world) adventure.
"I understand, but what's this about Hachiman-kun's sister complex?"
Su Shi, puzzled, tilted her head and asked.
What? You didn't know? Listen carefully, a sister complex is... Oh no, I almost got tricked into saying something!
Hachiman swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue. If he were looked down upon by elementary school students here, he would definitely cry.
"It's nothing, just a trivial topic."
"Really?" Su Shi looked at Hachiman's guilty look. "Then, after you finish reading it, can I take a look? Actually, I have some free time these days."
When are you unavailable?
Hikigaya muttered to himself, "At least every time I come to the activity room, Motoyo is either spacing out or grinning like an idiot."
"Okay, I'll let you know after I've finished reading it."
After giving a soft "hmm," Ichinose Motoyo returned to her seat and took out her notebook to write something.
Hikigaya didn't say much. He had long since realized that Ichinose Motoyo didn't like literature, and that the reason she continued to stay in the literature club was probably just to find a companion to chat with.
The two of them went about their own business, and a few minutes later, there was a knock on the door outside the activity room.
"Dong dong!"
Hachiman looked up and saw two unfamiliar girls standing outside the door.
One of them is Hibari Hoshinohara, a sixth-grader who currently serves as the student council president of Haneoka Elementary School. As for the unfamiliar girl next to her, she is probably a member of the student council.
Hikigaya calmly watched the student council members walk into the room. Although he didn't know why the student council was there, he figured it had nothing to do with him.
"Excuse me, I'm Hibari Hohara. You two are the only remaining members of the Literature Club, right?"
Hibari gently brushed aside Hibari's deep red hair. Perhaps it was because of their height, but Hikigaya felt that Hibari exuded a mature aura that didn't belong to an elementary school student.
"Yes, I am the president of the Literature Club, Ichinose Motoyo."
"Well, I guess I can be considered a member of the Literature Club too."
"Your ambiguous statement is quite interesting." Hibari Haruka chuckled as he looked at Hachiman. "So, may I ask your name, young man?"
Can I not say?
Hachiman Hikigaya paused for a second, then honestly revealed his identity: "Class 3-A, Hachiman Hikigaya."
"Nice to meet you."
Looking at Hibari's outstretched right hand, Hikigaya hesitated for a moment and quickly touched it with his fingertips.
Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine. He glanced at the person out of the corner of his eye and realized that the unfamiliar student council member was staring at him with a fierce look.
Wait a minute, it was clearly your guild leader who took the initiative; it has nothing to do with him!
Damn it, next time someone reaches out, I'll just pretend I didn't see it!
"Let's get back to the main topic." Hibari Hohara cleared his throat. "Ichinose-san, the deadline set by the student council is approaching. Could you please submit your application to disband the club as soon as possible?"
Hikigaya raised an eyebrow. He couldn't pretend he hadn't heard that. Come to think of it, wasn't this the reason why Suze had begged him to postpone leaving the club?
According to his intelligence, clubs at Haneoka Elementary School require at least three members to be established, and since the conflict broke out, the Literature Club has only had Suze left. Even he was just a temporary addition to make up the numbers.
Therefore, in the eyes of the student council, the Literature Department was undoubtedly dead in name only, and abolishing a useless club was a normal decision.
However, since Su Shi is so obsessed with the club, she will definitely argue her case at this time. Even if she doesn't overturn the student council's decision, she can at least delay it for a while.
"Excuse me, Chairman Fang Huyuan, could you give me a little more time?"
Su Shi's tone was somewhat timid.
Okay, he overestimated Su Shi.
But that's nothing. If he were to face a senior two years older than him at his age, especially if that senior was the high and mighty student council president, he probably wouldn't be able to utter a single word.
"Two months have passed, and there's still no progress at all."
"this..."
Su Shi lowered her head and did not refute.
"If you feel unable to write it, the student council can do it for you. Ichinose-san just needs to sign it."
After saying that, Hibari Hara gestured to his henchman to take out a prepared application form. Hikigaya secretly glanced at it and saw that the relevant content had already been written on it, only lacking the president's signature.
The other party's materials were very complete, indicating that they came prepared.
Conversely, Motoyo, the president of the literature club, had no idea what to do and, in desperation, cast a pleading look toward Hikigaya.
Hey, don't look at him! What can he do right now?
Honestly, Hikigaya doesn't care what happens to the Literature Club. Although he would feel bad if the club were disbanded, it would also be a good opportunity for him to return to his old club.
Wait a minute, he seems to be mistaken. Isn't there a better option than abolishing the department?
"Ichinose-san, please..."
"President Fang Huyuan, may I take a look at that application form?"
Hikigaya suddenly interrupted, and after a moment's thought, Hibari handed over the application.
He took the application, pretended to look at it for a while, and then returned it.
"Is there a problem with this?" Hibari Hara asked, looking at it with interest.
"Um, if I remember correctly, the school rules state that a club will only be disbanded if it has insufficient members for more than three consecutive months, right?" Hachiman pointed to the date on the application form: "It's only been two months since the last member left, so theoretically the deadline hasn't arrived yet."
Hibari Hara nodded: "You're right. We came here this time just to give the Literature Club a warning."
That sounds nice, but they're clearly just trying to force us out of the student council because they find it too troublesome. After all, if the clubs themselves proposed abolishing their departments, the student council would have much less work to do.
While thinking this to himself, Hachiman replied defiantly, "Please rest assured, President. It's the start of the school year, and our president has been actively recruiting new members, so we'll be able to fill the vacancies soon."
“I think that, based on past examples, doing this would be futile.”
Hibari shook his head in refusal, but Hachiman immediately launched a powerful attack: "President, aren't you being a bit too hasty? Could it be that the student council has other motives?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Huyuan Yun Que suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at him silently for a long time.
What are you looking at? I'm not afraid of you... no, I really am not afraid!
Hachiman admitted that the student council president did have an imposing presence, but after all, he was only twelve years old, and he didn't feel any particular sense of pressure from him.
After a brief standoff, Hibari softened his voice, intending to back down: "Perhaps Hachiman has some misunderstanding about our student council. We are just following the procedures."
"Then please follow the procedure and come back when the deadline arrives."
This time, Hibari was completely speechless.
"No problem, we'll come back in two weeks."
After the two had walked away, Su Shi finally breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes seemingly misty: "Hachigaya-kun, thank you so much just now. I'm actually not very good at communicating with student council members."
This kid is probably really worried that the club will be disbanded...
Hikigaya shook his head: "It's okay, Ichinose-san, do you have anything to do afterward?"
"Oh, no, not at all."
"Could you come with me somewhere?"
Su Shi stared at Hachiman in disbelief, thinking she must have misheard. Hachiman was actually inviting her to hang out? Was this too sudden? She wasn't mentally prepared.
"B-Sure, where are you headed, Hachiman? If you're not in a hurry, should I go home and grab something first?"
"Ah, why go home? We're at school."
"No, weren't we going out to play together?"
"Who said we were going out to play?" Hachiman casually pulled a club record book from the bookshelf. "Ichinose-san, could you please take me to find those members who quit before?"
"Hey?"
...
A few minutes later, the two appeared outside the classroom of Class 4-C.
"Hachiman, are you really going to do this?"
Su Shi spoke with some unease, the entrance in front of her seeming to her like a gate to hell about to open.
"When I came last time, they didn't want to talk to me. Why don't we go find the first-graders instead?"
"Doing it that way is too inefficient."
Hachiman shook his head in refusal. "Have you ever seen a first-grader willing to join the literature club? Even if there were, they would have been snapped up by various sports or game clubs long ago."
It's not that poaching someone is bad, but it's too troublesome, and there are clearly more time-saving and labor-saving methods available right now.
"But...I understand, Hachiman, I believe you."
Su Shi took a deep breath to bolster her courage, then walked into Class C's classroom, her gaze fixed on a boy playing with a ball in the corner.
"Hey Ju, long time no see! Are you free now?"
The boy stopped the ball, and after seeing who it was, he complained impatiently, "Hey, big-forehead girl, what are you doing here again?"
Haha, this kid is lucky to be young now. If he still dares to say that when he's in middle school, he'll definitely become the enemy of all the girls in his class.
And to be honest, Hikigaya didn't think Motoyo's forehead was very high, but she would definitely look better if she let her bangs down.
"...Tachibana-kun, can I come back to the Literature Club with you?" Su Shi couldn't help but touch her forehead, a faint sense of frustration rising in her heart.
"do not want!"
"Ju-kun, the student council has given the clubs their final order: if they still don't have enough members, the clubs will be disbanded!" Su Shi's tone was somewhat anxious.
"Pshaw, that's none of my business, and I've already joined the soccer club!"
"Tachibana-kun, we won't interfere with your activities in the soccer club, so..."
"I already said no."
Seeing that the time was almost right, Hachiman Hikigaya strode into the classroom: "Hello, senior, I'm Hachiman Hikigaya, a new member of the Literature Club."
"Oh, Hello."
Elementary school doesn't have the strict senior-junior relationship that junior and senior high schools do, so when Ju heard someone call him "senior," he was suddenly flattered.
Next, he began to sized up the unfamiliar junior in front of him.
The other person had his hands in his pockets and looked somewhat dejected. What puzzled him was that although this guy was a head shorter than him, he looked taller.
