The Stand in the Everyday World

"Is that so..." Hayato Hayama was silent at first, then he showed a bitter smile.

"Ah, is there such a thing?"

Kitagawa Umi, who has always been the core of the group, had the same reaction as Hayama Hayato.

As for Yukinoshita-san...she only made friends recently, so she couldn't understand such advanced things as "friends of friends". This was full of unknowns for her, so she had to put this aside for now and discuss based on this premise:

"Well, so the goal now is not to eliminate the criminals, but to help them become friends... Well, sorry, I can't do this. I don't understand it at all."

Although she has a high self-esteem, when it comes to topics that she knows nothing about, even though she feels very unwilling, Yukinoshita Yukino will not act like an amateur instructing experts. Instead, she will force herself to make the "correct" choice.

"So let's leave this to Kita...Umi, you guys can do it."

"no problem!"

Kitagawa Umi gave a thumbs up.

"No need. I have a very simple solution for this matter." Fujii Shunsuke looked at Hayama Hayato, "Since Yamato and the others are dissatisfied with each other because they are competing for Hayama's favor... attention, then all we need to do is let Hayama withdraw and pay attention to others."

"Ah? This..." The corners of Hayato Hayama's mouth twitched.

Yuigahama Yui complained: "If Himena were here, she would be so excited."

"Anyway, for this workplace visit, Hayama, you should partner up with Hikigaya, and let Yamato and the others form a group of three. Do you know who Hikigaya is?"

Shunsuke Fujii made the final suggestion. Since Ushi had taken away the Great Sensei's female harem, he was too embarrassed to separate the Great Sensei's male friends.

398. Chitanda Eru's Request

Although Uesugi Fuutarou and Oreki Houtarou are probably the other two who will be left alone in the class, it would be fine to let Hikigaya Hachiman form a group with these two people who share the same suffering. The three liberal arts geniuses might be able to exchange learning experiences with each other. However, when Fujii Shunsuke thought of the Great Sensei's current situation, he still had a slight desire to make up for it.

Therefore, let him go on this workplace visit together with Hayato Hayama and Ayaka Totsuka.

Of course, the most important person is Ayaka Totsuka.

Hayato Hayama thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Shunsuke Fujii's suggestion: "Hikigaya-san, huh? Okay, no problem."

Yuigahama Yui was surprised and asked, "Hey, Hayama actually knows the name of the Dun family?"

"Well, I am a member of the class after all, so I have memorized the names of all my classmates."

"What's the name of the girl sitting behind me, Yeshan, do you remember?" Shunsuke Fujii said slowly, supporting his chin with his fingers crossed.

"Ah? Of course I remember that. The name is...what was it?" Hayato Hayama was confused for a moment. That wasn't right. He should have remembered the names of everyone in the class.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Ye Shan to make such a small mistake. The person sitting behind Xiaojun is..." Yuigahama Yui laughed a few times, and then her voice suddenly stopped, "Isn't it, that someone, who was it?"

"Ah..." Yukinoshita Yukino held her forehead helplessly, "Yui, you guys really don't pay enough attention to your classmates. After all, a semester is almost over now. No matter what, you should at least remember their names."

In Sakurajima, remembering a person's name is basic etiquette, otherwise it would be extremely rude.

"How about you give it a try, Yukinoshita?"

Shunsuke Fujii wanted to test the abilities of modern Hassan again.

Yukinoshita Yukino rolled her eyes at Fujii Shunsuke and said, "I've never been to your class, so how would I know who's sitting behind you?"

"Then just go through all the girls' names. I remember you said you memorized the names of everyone in the school."

"Why, you don't believe it?" Yukinoshita Yukino snorted and began to quickly call out the names of the 15 girls in your class. They are Yuigahama Yui, Miura Yumiko, Ebina Hina, Futaba Rio, Kawasaki Saki, Matsuzaka Sato..."

They quickly read out the names of 14 people, but when it came to the last one, Yukinoshita Yukino got stuck.

"Well, I trust your cooperation. I understand."

Shunsuke Fujii nodded, indicating that Hayato Hayama could leave.

Hayato Hayama opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

——Let’s check the roster when we get back to the classroom.

Hayato Hayama thought silently.

Chitanda Eru looked at Yuigahama Yui who was deep in thought, and then looked at Yukinoshita Yukino who looked unacceptable, and then her big eyes were in front of Fujii Shunsuke again: "Fujii-kun, I'm curious!"

"There's no need to be so curious about this kind of thing." Fujii Shunsuke put his hand on Chitanda Eru's face and gently pushed her away. "Besides, you seem to be more curious about things than this, right?"

Chitanda Eru blinked her eyes and said, "As expected of you, Fujii-kun. How did you deduce this? I didn't say anything."

ps: I will make up the rest tomorrow.

399. Yukinoshita Yukino is a petty and difficult woman

"It was Chitanda-san that some of your little actions gave you away, but I won't explain it in detail because it's too troublesome."

"How could this be?"

Chitanda Eru puffed up her mouth, and her puffy cheeks looked like a pufferfish, which made Fujii Shunsuke couldn't help but poke it.

"!"

Chitanda Eru's cheeks suddenly turned red and she quickly returned to her original position.

Shunsuke Fujii also realized that his actions just now were too intimate, but since he had already done it, he could only keep a calm expression, as if nothing had happened just now and he had just done a trivial thing.

It’s just that those sharp gazes from the side are a bit irritating.

Yukinoshita Yukino closed her eyes and gently pinched her nose, then looked at Chitanda Eru and asked, "So, Chitanda-san also has something you want to entrust us with?"

Chitanda Eru nodded shyly: "Originally, I didn't plan to tell this matter, but after seeing Fujii-kun's brilliant reasoning, I think that if it was Fujii-kun, it might really work."

——I just can’t do it, right?

Yukinoshita Yukino's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she felt a little unconvinced, but she held it in and didn't say it. She just signaled Chitanda Eru to continue.

"Well, my request might be a little strange, is that okay?"

Before making the request, Chitanda Eru said with self-awareness.

"It doesn't matter. As long as it's a reasonable request, our Service Department will do our best to complete it."

Yukinoshita Yukino agreed with a wave of her hand in a casual manner. Fujii Shunsuke drank tea silently on the side and took a picture of Yukinoshita's current expression with his mobile phone.

You act so cool now, just wait and see how confused you will be later.

By the way, the mobile phone that Shunsuke Fujii is using now is a special one that does not make any sound when taking photos.

"Well, I joined the Classics Club because of my mother's brother, my uncle. He was a member of the Classics Club. I thought the pronunciation of the word Classics Club was similar to the vinegar kelp snack that we always have at home, so I became interested in the Classics Club."

"Are you serious?" Kitagawa Umi complained in a low voice. She really felt that this senior was too unreliable.

Or maybe Chitanda-senpai wanted to tell a joke to ease her tension before making the request?

"...Chitanda-san, may I ask, how old were you at that time?"

Yukinoshita Yukino asked cautiously.

"Probably, I think it was when I was in elementary school or younger? I can't quite remember, but it must have been more than ten years."

"That's it..."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If a high school student still had such thoughts in his mind, they wouldn't know how to complain.

"When I was a child, my uncle and I were very close. I often pestered him. In my memory, no matter what I asked, my uncle would always be able to answer me, no matter how bizarre the topic was. So in my eyes, there was nothing that my uncle didn't know."

"But there was only one time when I asked my uncle a question about the Classical Literature Department. That was the only time my uncle was unwilling to answer me. I was unhappy and made a fuss for a long time before my uncle reluctantly told me. But after I heard the answer..."

"After hearing that?"

Yuigahama Yui, who was attracted by Chitanda Eru's story-telling rhythm, immediately asked.

"I just cried."

"?"

"I don't know if I cried out of fear or sadness, but I cried very loudly. It seemed to alarm my mother, but she couldn't stop crying no matter how she comforted me. I don't remember this part very clearly. I only remember that my uncle never came to comfort me from beginning to end. I have forgotten everything else, even what my uncle said to me."

"I kept this in mind, and when I was in junior high school, I started to wonder why my uncle didn't want to answer me. What did he say? Why did I cry after hearing it? And why didn't my uncle come to comfort me?"

"My request is to ask everyone to help me remember my feelings at that time. I am very curious about what my uncle said at that time!"

"...Chitanda-san, are you serious?"

If she hadn't known Chitanda Eru and knew that she was not a frivolous girl, Yukinoshita Yukino would have thought that she was coming to make things difficult for her and to have fun in the Service Club.

I don't know your uncle, and this happened more than ten years ago, which even the people involved can't remember clearly. Why are you asking me?

How could I know if I don't have a time machine?

Shunsuke Fujii silently took a picture of Yukinoshita Yukino's current expression.

Kitagawa Umi, who was in charge of making comments, scratched his head, but couldn't help but ask out of curiosity: "Um, Chitanda-senpai, you said that you only started to wonder about what your uncle said after you entered junior high school, so... well, why did you wait until you entered junior high school to become curious?"

——What were you doing for at least 6 years in between?

Kitagawa Umi didn't say this impolite question, but that was the meaning.

Chitanda Eru blushed immediately and she didn't know how to explain.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, "This commission is full of mysteries."

"I'm sorry." Chitanda Eru lowered her head. "I know this request is unreasonable, but ten years ago, my uncle went to Malaysia, and then he disappeared in India and Bangladesh seven years ago. It has been seven years since then."

"According to the laws of Sakurajima, if a person has been missing for more than seven years, he or she will be deemed dead. Now my uncle's family is preparing for the funeral."

"I want to attend my uncle's funeral without any regrets!"

Chitanda Eru raised her head and looked at Fujii Shunsuke with sharp eyes. She didn't know why, but she just believed that if it was Fujii-kun, he would definitely come up with a perfect reasoning.

They had never talked much before and had never relied on others so much, but now she trusted someone she didn't know well. Chitanda Eru felt very complicated.

After hearing Chitanda Eru's reasons, the "correct" Yukinoshita Yukino stopped talking.

"Woo woo woo woo, don't worry, Xiao Qian, we will do our best to help you!"

The sentimental Yuigahama Yui hugged Chitanda Eru and rubbed her hard.

The surging breasts show their presence to the fullest.

"Xiao Qian?" Chitanda Eru was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about me?"

——As expected of Yui-senpai, she can use a nickname so naturally for someone she just met!

Kitagawa Umi looked at Yuigahama Yui with admiration. Although she was also a socialite, she could never do this.

"Guhehe, yeah."

Yuigahama Yui showed a silly yet very cute smile.

"I'm sorry, Chitanda-san, but that's just how she is. She likes to give people nicknames. And even if you object, it won't work. She'll keep calling you that until you agree."

Yukinoshita Yukino considered herself a fellow victim, so she sighed and looked at Chitanda Eru with sympathy as she explained.

She had only known me for a short time, but she started calling me "Xiaoxue" all the time. How could I communicate with her with a cold face? And then I was conquered like this. I feel so angry when I think about it now.

But Chitanda Eru smiled and said, "It's okay. This is the first time I've been called a nickname so affectionately. I'm so happy."

"........"

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent.

What is this? By comparing me like this, doesn't it seem like I'm a very petty and difficult woman?

"puff"

Shunsuke Fujii couldn't help laughing.

Yukinoshita Yukino glared at them with a fierce expression.

Fujii Shunsuke immediately looked at Chitanda Eru with a serious face: "Chitanda-san, my service club will accept your request."

"Thank you so much!"

Chitanda Eru immediately bowed 90 degrees.

"I'm looking forward to Fujii-kun's reasoning!"

"Well, I'm also looking forward to Senior's reasoning!"
