The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

If I lend the umbrella to Hachiman, what will he do?

Very simple.

Hikigaya-san is just adapting to local conditions and using other people's things to offer something else.

……

The rain was getting heavier.

Ichinose Honami was in the rain, but she didn't hold an umbrella and didn't try to avoid the rain. She just walked slowly in one direction with her eyes dull.

But there was probably no one waiting for her ahead, because no one in this school wanted to see her self-harm like this.

Ichinose was indeed torturing herself.

Otherwise her eyes wouldn't look like this.

No spirit left.

"It's raining in the sky, but it's also raining in my heart. Don't you think this feeling is terrible?" When Ichinose was lost in her own thoughts, a voice appeared beside her.

"Hikigaya-kun——"

Ichinose recognized Hachiman's voice.

She didn't look back.

"Please leave me alone," she said. "I want to be alone."

Regardless of who Jingjing was, Hachiman immediately put an umbrella over her.

Perhaps sensing that the rain was being blocked from above, Ichinose finally turned his head.

"Thank you, but I don't want this."

Ichinose spoke up, "I want to cleanse my mind as well, so just leave me alone, Hikigaya-kun."

"Is it because of this exam? Or is it because you discovered there was a traitor in the class?"

Hachiman asked twice in a row, but Ichinose didn't answer either, just closed his eyes in pain.

Yes.

She was in pain.

Not only was it the initial misjudgment that they thought Ryuuen and the others were following them and that they just needed to be on guard against them, but then a traitor actually appeared in the class.

Someone was not a companion and betrayed everyone.

The news was very painful for her.

She is a person who will not and does not want to doubt others, but even so, having trust trampled upon is the worst thing.

And this is just one thing, plus the series of failures since entering school, all add up.

then.

This is what happened to Ichinose Honami.

She broke down.

"I'm wondering," she said, "whether I'm fit to continue being the class representative. So, Hikigaya-kun, you come to Class B. I'll choose to quit."

As for the withdrawal here, it is not certain whether she means withdrawing from the position of class representative or dropping out of school.

Ichinose previously wanted to drop out of school because of a stain in her past, and now she wants to drop out because of consecutive failures in exams.

Either way, it's an extremely negative attitude.

Ichinose is in a worse state than before.

"And this kind of thing—"

Hachiman didn't answer her directly. "I did say I wanted to go to Class B because it has people I need to cherish and an environment I like."

This is actually a bit subtle.

"..."

Ichinose.

But when hearing the words "There is someone I need to cherish", Ichinose Honami remained calm.

So Hachiman put away his umbrella.

Because Ichinose couldn't listen to anyone right now.

So he said, "It seems that you don't want to hold an umbrella, so I will join you."

"and many more--"

Ichinose immediately looked up, "You don't have to accompany me like this."

"If it's because of your failure in this exam, then I knew that Ryuuen and the others were following you, but I didn't consider that Ryuuen was hiding the traitor in your group. I indeed didn't do that. So if it's a punishment, then I will accept it." Hikigaya said.

"No, no, Hikigaya-kun...you really don't have to do this—"

"Then why do you do this?"

Hachiman looked directly into Ichinose's eyes.

Then open the umbrella again.

"It's easy to catch a cold after self-abuse. Or do you want me to catch a cold with you?"

Meow.

Ichinose hummed softly.

"Hikigaya-kun, you're really mean."

"Then go to my room and rest for a while. If you damage your health, everyone who cares about you and is worried about you...all of them will be sad."

"Really are……"

For the first time, an expression appeared on Ichinose's face.

Because he said that, she couldn't resist, right?

Ichinose Honoki.

She is a good person.

kind person.

Unable to forgive nor allow others to feel sad for her.

Ryuuen can grasp her saintliness, while Hachiman can grasp her kindness.

……

Ichinose was probably drenched in the rain for more than half an hour.

And if Hachiman didn't go, then she might stay for another half an hour? Or two hours, probably until the rain stopped on its own.

Self-abuse is not a good thing.

However, there are often many people in this world who want to punish themselves by self-abuse after they collapse.

But this makes this person seem even more rare.

Ichinose has a strong sense of responsibility.

If it's a friend, then we can have a deep friendship. In other words, perhaps my words came true. When I first came to this school, I thought I might meet a true friend.

And the current Ichinose fully meets these conditions.

but.

Hikigaya also felt that it was a pity to just be friends.

"Mmmmm... the water is so hot."

"Go in quickly."

After arriving at Hachiman's room, Ichinose was immediately forced by Hachiman to take a hot bath.

Because it is easy to get sick.

Then he went to prepare ginger and brown sugar water for Ichinose.

This can effectively keep out the cold.

After all, girls' bodies are relatively weak, and it is easy for them to become ill in the future due to self-abandonment and being caught in the rain, so they need to be eradicated on a principled basis.

But Ichinose's feelings do need to be considered.

She felt sorry for failing the exam this time and adding to her past failures, and she couldn't accept the fact that there was a traitor in the class.

then.

Choosing this method is self-destructive and self-punishing.

but.

Ichinose.

It is foolish to punish yourself for the mistakes of others.

The right thing to do is to expel the traitor from the class.

then.

The next thing Ichinose needed to do was to stay away from him immediately and stop spending time with him, instead of following him to the dormitory just because she didn't want him to catch a cold.

Because if he is a bad guy, then you, Ichinose, are doomed.

This is a trap set by him, so your mood swings will be controlled by him.

But from this perspective, Ichinose Honami is indeed too gentle.

And now a beautiful, gentle and kind girl is taking a bath in his room.

For an ordinary high school student, the pressure is still too great.

"..."

and so.

Sitting on a chair, listening to the sounds of girls bathing in the bathroom, Hikigaya began to make herself absolutely rational.

"Excuse me--"

While Hachiman was thinking alone, Ichinose had already finished taking a bath.

She said as she wiped her long golden-pink hair.

Because not only did I borrow his room, but I also made him worry. Ichinose felt very sorry for this.

"It's okay. It won't happen again anyway."

Hachiman said, and then asked Ichinose to sit on his bed, and he used the electric iron he had just borrowed from Horikita's room to blow dry her hair. As for her, she was wearing his shirt.

There were no girls' clothes in his room, and Horikita's clothes had been washed, so this was the only way to deal with it.

"But this time it's all my fault—"

However, after hearing what Hachiman said, Ichinose's emotions broke down again.

"It's fine."

Hachiman put down the electric wind blower, walked in front of her, gently placed one hand on her long hair, and then touched her cheek.

Staring into her moist pupils.

This is the boy's room. A girl just finished taking a shower and sat on the boy's bed. The distance between them was less than 6 centimeters.

Such a wonderful atmosphere.

It will make people's heart beat faster.

Even Ichinose Honami is no exception.

Although she has many friends, she has never crossed the line or developed a romantic relationship with anyone.

But the boy in front of him was different.
