Hikigaya instantly pointed out the flaw in the man's words, and the passersby next to him nodded thoughtfully, seemingly beginning to doubt the truthfulness of the other party's statement.
"but..."
The man was about to argue when Hachiman interrupted him with his words:
"Okay, actually I don't think the placement of the equipment has anything to do with who arrives first. After all, many people put their backpacks on the seats in advance so they can grab a seat."
"Yes, that's right. So what if you arrive early? You're not performing anyway, so why don't you let us use it!"
After Hachiman's reminder, the man finally came to his senses. The order of arrival didn't matter at all; the key point now was that Hachiman and the others weren't performers at all!
"But we all said that Sister Taoxiang will be back soon!"
Hongxia added at this moment, and immediately heard a malicious response from the other party:
"Where is she? Why hasn't she come back yet after so long!"
The man spoke aggressively, thinking victory was assured, but to his surprise, the passerby, who had already recovered, suddenly turned against him and began speaking up for Hachiman and his group:
"Alright, alright, why are you making things difficult for these kids? If you want to perform here, why don't you wait for that person to come back and then discuss it?"
Haha, this idiot finally got one thing right.
Actually, the solution to this problem is very simple: wait for Tao Xiang to come back, and then the two of them can discuss it slowly.
But the other party is unwilling to wait and intends to forcibly occupy this open space, which is the most crucial issue.
Hachiman thought to himself, "I'm just complaining," and then echoed the passerby's words:
"Uncle, since you think we shouldn't be performing here, and we don't want to leave, how about we compromise our opinions?"
Hearing Hachiman's words, the man frowned and subconsciously asked:
"How do we neutralize it?"
"It's two bands performing together."
When Hachiman made this suggestion, everyone present was stunned. Then, probably sensing the insult in his words, the man rushed directly in front of Hachiman.
"You brat, stop being unreasonable! Who wants to perform with you guys!"
Who's really being unreasonable?
Although he was being pressed face-to-face, with so many people present, Hachiman wasn't worried that the other party would actually make a move.
Moreover, he already had experience being beaten by adults. Although the other party looked scary, their movements were actually quite clumsy, so if a fight really broke out, he was confident that he could dodge the first blow.
Well, the first thing to do is to check if there are any normal people among the passersby. After all, these guys can't just stand by and watch a little kid get beaten up in the street, can they?
Thinking of this, Hachiman glanced at the other person indifferently, then looked around at the crowd, noticing the constant stream of disdainful glances.
"Disgusting! They even bully children!"
"What's wrong with letting them wait here for a little while? Why should an adult argue with a bunch of kids!"
"Wait a minute, are you all blind? This brat was the one who provoked us first!"
Things had progressed to this point, and the situation had completely turned around. However, sensing that the other party did not seem to have given up completely, Hachiman took out his underwear.
"Uncle, this isn't a video game. There's no rule here that says whoever gets the spot first gets to keep it. If you're not happy about it, how about we call the police?"
"Call the police then...!"
The man seemed genuinely enraged by Hachiman's actions. Although he couldn't physically assault him, he felt compelled to teach him a lesson.
Before he finished speaking, several bands that had been watching gathered around.
This is one of the few places where the police don't interfere too much. Although the best performance venue is currently occupied, it doesn't mean there won't be opportunities in the future. But if you call the police, who knows if new patrol points will be added later.
With that in mind, they could no longer continue watching the spectacle.
"Have you guys had enough of this?"
"Wait a minute, what are you doing?"
"Judging from your accents, you're from Tokyo, right? Foreigners, you better follow our rules!"
Amidst the growing jeers, the young couple finally realized something was wrong. He glanced at Hachiman incredulously, then quickly grabbed his belongings and rushed out of the crowd.
"What's wrong with that brat? His eyes are so disgusting. He's really in big trouble this time..."
He talked as he walked, while Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.
That should bring things to a successful conclusion, right?
After dealing with his troubles, Hachiman turned around and found that the three elementary school students present were looking at him with strange eyes.
155 Do you think I can hit the other side of the river?
Why are you looking at me like that? Believe me or I'll sue you for bullying!
"Um, I need to go to the restroom."
That being said, being stared at by the three kids was not a pleasant feeling at all. Unable to bear their scrutinizing gazes, Hachiman used his classic "urine escape" to flee the scene.
But as soon as he took a small step forward, he encountered tremendous resistance in his arm.
"Zaimokuza?"
"...Boss, I will remember this experience forever!"
Looking back along the outstretched arms, Cai Muzuo's round face now held a hint of determination and... a willingness to die?
Upon hearing this, Hachiman sighed deeply, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:
"No, please forget about it as soon as possible... Also, don't call me BOSS!"
"Sigh, but what if I forget..."
It seemed that Zaimokuza had no intention of removing this memory, and seeing this, Hachiman shook his head seriously.
From his perspective, everything he had just done was nothing more than taking advantage of a primary school student's identity to exploit some loopholes; in short, it wasn't a particularly honorable tactic.
If that idiot Zaimokuza becomes his imitator, being laughed at is secondary; what would be truly unbearable is if he were to encounter an unreasonable person and get severely punished.
Therefore, Hachiman had to nip this dangerous idea in the bud.
"No buts."
"Ok."
Zai Muza lowered his head somewhat disappointedly. Then, Nijika and Nagasaki Motoyo walked up and immediately began to examine Hikiya's entire body.
"Wait a minute, what are you doing?"
Hikigaya was so frightened that he took several steps back.
"Seriously, Hachiman is doing something dangerous again!" Nijika said, her eyes slightly red, her expression unusually angry. "I was terrified when I saw Hachiman go up to confront them. Wasn't the lesson from Shoko enough?"
She was probably referring to the confrontation between Hikigaya and Ishida, where Hikigaya was knocked out in front of the whole class with a single punch.
Honestly, why bring this up now...?
Hachiman blinked, then guiltily looked away:
"No, the two situations are different."
Ishida is also an idiot, so he can't help but fight if he is provoked even slightly. But the young couple just now were obviously not so impulsive. Moreover, there were passers-by around, so his safety level was still very high.
Hachiman had guessed this, which is why he dared to speak so harshly; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to provoke a healthy adult even if he had a hundred lives.
"no no no!"
He thought his reasons were sufficient, but to his surprise, the ever-easily appeased Hongxia not only refused to accept his explanation, but instead became even more agitated in her opposition.
Ugh, elementary school students are just so unreasonable...
"I don't know how to put it, but I just feel that what Hikigaya-kun did was not a good thing."
A soreness rose in her nose, and the tears she had finally managed to hold back seemed to surge back again. Her wine-red eyes were fixed on the boy in front of her, and a strange sense of grievance and heartache resonated in Hongxia's chest.
At this moment, Nagasaki Motoyo, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward to smooth things over:
"Hachiman, Nijika is probably worried about your safety, so she hopes you can take action only after ensuring your own safety."
"...I'm sorry, it was my oversight...but now that everything is over, you can wait here for Ms. Kawaraki to return, I'll be leaving for a bit."
Nagasaki Motoyo seemed to understand Hikigaya's meaning. The next moment, she took Nijika's arm and said in a gentle voice:
"Okay, don't worry about Hongxia, I'll take good care of her."
"Well, please."
"Wait, Hachiman, don't leave me behind. I'll come with you!"
Seeing that the three seemed to be going their separate ways, Zaimokuza looked around awkwardly, then strode off toward Hachiman.
"Whatever..." Hearing the hurried footsteps behind him, Hachiman remembered something important. "By the way, Zaimokuza, you absolutely must not mention what happened just now to anyone in the class."
"Oh, why?"
Zaimokuza didn't think it was a shameful experience. If Hikigaya hadn't taken the initiative to bring it up earlier, he would have even planned to tell his friends everything as soon as he got back to school.
"There's no reason why!" Just to be on the safe side, Hachiman decided to dig out the other party's secrets first. "If you insist on telling me, I'll tell Mr. Hachiman about how you deliberately peed outside the urinal."
"Wait, how did you know, Hachiman!" Zaimokuza clutched his chest in disbelief. "Could it be that you were actually in the bathroom at that time, Hachiman?"
"Idiots, you're making such a racket, any normal person could hear you!"
Seemingly recalling an unpleasant scene, Hikigaya smacked his lips with a grim expression.
As we all know, elementary school students often do some strange things, and the boys' toilet is a frequent site of accidents. In Class 3A, there is a fixed competition after class: who can pee the farthest.
"Hey, this wave is at least three meters high!"
"What's the use of being tall? Can you travel as far as I can?"
Because the details were so chaotic, even the memory itself felt somewhat nauseating to Hachiman.
After each match, the bathroom would become a mess, with unidentified liquids everywhere. Although Hachiman wasn't a germaphobe, he couldn't stand staying in such a place.
So every time after the elementary school kids' revelry, he had to take a long detour to another floor to relieve himself... Oh right, why not take this opportunity to end that weird competition once and for all?
Hachiman thought to himself, while Zaimokuza, whose true colors had been exposed, blushed deeply.
"Wait a minute! If you say that, what about the girl?"
"Ah, of course I heard it perfectly clearly."
"how so!"
Zai Muza knelt down with a thud, his body emanating a stench of death. However, this had nothing to do with Hachiman, who instead quietly moved a few steps away.
A moment later, the heartbroken woodcutter said listlessly:
"I understand, I'll keep it a secret."
"Hmm... Also, it's best not to do that kind of thing again."
"Ok."
After finishing all that, Hikigaya and Zaimokuza said goodbye at the bathroom door. Hikigaya spent about ten minutes idly in the vicinity. When he returned, Momoka Kawara, who had been nowhere to be seen, finally appeared.
156 This time it was my fault.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The shop next door didn't have what I wanted to buy, so it took a little longer than expected."
Kawara Momoka said guiltily, and when she asked if anything had happened while she was gone, the expressions of the others instantly became a little strange.
"It's just a small matter, Miss Kawaragi, please don't worry about it."
Hikigaya's lips twitched slightly.
"is it?"
When her gaze met Nijika's slightly red eyes, Momoka Kawahara knew that things were probably not that simple, but since none of them were willing to speak, she didn't say anything more.
"To repay you for your hard work, how about I treat you all to a delicious meal with today's harvest?"
Picking up the metal box from the ground where tips were kept, Momoka Kawara said happily.
"Uh, is it okay?"
Hachiman had observed beforehand that although the small iron box didn't contain much money, it was all earned by Momoka Kawara through hard work.
