A youth story of a passerby at the end of the world

"Then you should be able to get his contact information..."

Chapter 1: Best Friends

"Hey, my dear friend..."

"Are you Zaimokuza? And I don't remember having such a troublesome relationship with you." Hikigaya Hachiman responded, and at the same time swung the tennis racket in his hand vigorously to hit the tennis ball back from the opposite side.

"A triangle relationship is undoubtedly the most complicated. When three people are talking, there will definitely be one person who interrupts. People can only see one person's eyes, so there will definitely be another person who is ignored. There are many sports for two people, and there are also many for four people, but only three people are rare in the world, so..."

"Bang." Uesugi Genshin hit the ball back intact.

"There's nothing we can do about one person being left alone." He glanced at Zaimokuza Yoshiki, who was practicing silently against the wall at the edge, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"If you feel guilty, how about you go instead of him?" Hikigaya Hachiman hit the ball back again.

As for the result of the rock-paper-scissors game, Hikigaya Hachiman, who won first, had a margin of victory.

"No, in the final analysis it's the school's fault. There are three classes taking physical education class together, so why is the total number of students an odd number? Doesn't it mean that there must be one person left alone?" Uesugi Genshin turned around and complained to the ruling class of Sobu High School.

"Well..." After all, I have always accompanied these two equally "autistic" people to practice sparring in physical education class separately. The chance of the three of them attending class together is very rare, after all, the three of them are in different classes.

Hikigaya Hachiman grumbled in his heart, but the physical education class that used to be uncomfortable was not so annoying now, thanks to these two guys.

Really, I wonder what would happen if we were in the same class. He suddenly had some fantasies, which were unimaginable before.

"I heard that Mr. Hiratsuka called you to his office. Why?" Uesugi Genshin was quite curious.

"Because I spoke the truth." Hikigaya Hachiman answered without hesitation.

"Okay, I understand. After all, Mr. Hiratsuka is the Chinese teacher and your class teacher. So it's because your composition is so shocking? So shocking that people can't understand it?" Uesugi Genshin got the point immediately.

"Well..." Hikigaya Hachiman muttered, and continued to hit the ball back calmly, "In the end, I was forced to join a strange club, no, it should be said that it was a club for friends."

The number of members is too small to be called a club.

"Strange..." Ah, it has come to this time already. After all, I am already the second year of high school, Uesugi Genshin sighed.

“Could it be... Is it the Far East Magic Nap Society? Or the New World Discovery Department? Or maybe...” I really hope that there really is such a thing in this world, a New World Discovery Department. Unfortunately, angels will not fall from the sky.

"None of them. What were those just now? Are there such strange clubs in the world?" Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but interrupt and complain when he heard these strange club names.

"I think so, although it may not be in this world." Uesugi Genshin said casually, "So it is the Service Club."

"You know..." Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Uesugi Genshin speechlessly, sighing in his heart that our club has become so regrettable.

"Of course I know. After all, if you say it's strange, then it must be this one." Uesugi Genshin joked.

The name is Service! Department. If you don't understand its essence, it's inevitable that you will think wrongly because of this name.

"So...what do you know about this club?" Hikigaya Hachiman asked. He knew that Xuan Xin always had very accurate gossip from nowhere, even though he clearly didn't have many friends.

"If you ask that, ummm..." Uesugi Genshin nodded continuously with a slightly smug expression.

He caught the ball from the opposite side accurately with his hand, "Anyway, let's take a break and chat while we rest." Uesugi Genshin tilted his head and pointed to the side.

Hikigaya Hachiman turned his head and glanced at the physical education teacher in the distance. Well... I didn't say that we were not allowed to take a break during practice. I just didn't want to be in a daze and look stupid, so I kept practicing against the wall.

Then he obediently followed Uesugi Genshin to a corner where the teacher would not easily see him. After all, it would be troublesome if he was seen.

Without disdain for the dust on the ground, Uesugi Genshin sat down cross-legged, while Hikigaya Hachiman bent his legs and hugged his knees.

"Yukinoshita Yukino, a celebrity at Sobu High School, and Miura from your Class F are known as the two queens of ice and fire at Sobu High." Whether this is actually true or not, haha, he doesn't know.

"Hey...that guy is pretty awesome." Anyway, Hikigaya Hachiman heard it, but he was a little more disapproving.

"Ahem, then, let me tell you something you don't know. The surname Yukinoshita is very famous in Chiba."

"How can it be famous..." He didn't even know about this...

"It is considered a famous family in the local area, and Yukinoshita Yukino is the second daughter of the head of the family, or the second young lady."

"She has an older sister, Yukinoshita Haruno, who graduated from Sobu High School and is now in college. When she was in Sobu High School, she formed a band with Mr. Hiratsuka because she was rebellious against her family. She is also very familiar with the current student council president."

Isn't this her sister's business? However, rebellion? The daughters of the Yukinoshita family are all amazing. Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but think of Yukinoshita Yukino's venomous tongue when he first joined the Service Club, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

"at the same time......"

"..."

"......" Hey, what's next? Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the inexplicably suspenseful high school boy in front of him.

"At the same time, I have a bad relationship with you."

The fact that the car that Yukino Yukinoshita was riding in hit Hachiman, causing him to be hospitalized for three weeks at the start of school, didn't seem to be a big deal for both parties.

Yukinoshita Yukino wasn't the driver, and Hachiman was just trying to save a dog on the road?! In general, it seems that there is no need for both parties to get entangled in the fact that it is not a big deal to say it out.

"Bad fate?! Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, I don't remember knowing such an amazing guy." Hikigaya Hachiman thought about it and quickly denied it.

"It is indeed a bad fate, that's right." Uesugi Genshin looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with a sidelong glance, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, in joy. Yes, this is the feeling of "spoiler" to others! I haven't felt this for a long time.

"The car she was riding in hit you and left you in the hospital for three weeks. Although she was well protected by her family at the time and was not even allowed to meet with you, the person involved, it was inevitable. After all, although the Yukinoshita family is powerful in Chiba, they are not without enemies. It would not look good if someone caught her weak spot and attacked her, saying that the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family hit someone and fled the scene."

"Ah..." Hikigaya Hachiman was still immersed in her words about bumping into you, but when he thought about the following words, he couldn't help but sigh: "There's nothing we can do about it."

"Yes, at least judging from the results, you are fine. The medical expenses are all paid by the other side. Apart from the fact that the weird deeds of the future people are widely spread in the three weeks after school starts, there is nothing to blame."

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it." Hikigaya Hachiman repeated once again. Apart from accepting this fact, he had no other thoughts.

Should we say that the Yukinoshita family did a good or bad thing? They were a bit utilitarian, but if someone was really seriously injured or killed, they would sincerely apologize and compensate, right?

Uesugi Genshin was a little uncertain. After all, they were politicians, which was not a good word. But they were also the maiden family of the sisters Yukinoshita Haruno and Yukino. A family that raised such polite daughters would at least have normal moral values.

He tilted his head, not wanting to think about it, "And..."

Here it comes again. Hikigaya Hachiman made a subtle nasal snort and paused at a subtle place. What shocking news will he reveal next?

What's going on? Isn't this feeling of expectation in my heart the same as when those current gossipers were talking? !

"Also, the owner of the dog you rescued was very enthusiastic to visit you and wanted to express his gratitude, but you didn't see it."

"I didn't do this to be thanked. I just didn't realize it at the time. No, I just wanted to do it. How did you know this?"

"That? Ah...thank you for that. After all, she always wanted to make cookies for you."

"Cookies?" Hikigaya Hachiman showed a puzzled expression.

You haven't gone to the Service Club to take on any requests yet, you're a bit slow, Yuigahama Yui.

"And you're talking about her." What the hell do you know?

"Ah, it's a girl, and you know her."

"I know her!!!" Hikigaya Hachiman was surprised and kept thinking about the girl he knew in his mind. High school? Classmate? No, junior high school classmate is not impossible, is it elementary school?

Well, the dark history that keeps emerging along with the memories stabs my heart, the darkness that keeps emerging from the abyss!

"Why don't I just tell you directly? You look so painful." Tsk tsk, Uesugi Genshin shook his head.

He understands! He understands! Sometimes I suddenly think of the bag of rice in the dark history!

"Do you know her? Do you know her name?" Then you should have told me earlier.

"She is Yuigahama Yui from your class."

Yuigahama Yui? Who? Hikigaya Hachiman's first thought was this, and then he recalled that she was a bitch, a little follower next to Miura in the Hayama Xianmatsu Group.

The light peach hair is shoulder-length and has a slight perm. The color looks very bright and is tied into a bun, which is easy to remember. But it seems that there are always two or three buttons on the clothes that are not buttoned. It is indeed a bitch.

Hikigaya Hachiman defined it based solely on superficial impressions.

"She will probably come talk to you soon." This is a prophecy.

"Looking for me? Please spare me." Hikigaya Hachiman had a "very troublesome" expression on his face. He always kept his distance from those guys from the Hayama Group.

Hayato Hayama, a blond, sunny, handsome guy, a good-natured person who is good at socializing, the leader and center of Class F, the ace of the soccer club, and the candidate for the next captain. In short, he is at the top of the current cast, the poster boy of Sobu High School, and someone who is more like the protagonist than the Hikigaya Hachiman in front of him.

Uesugi Genshin knew very well that in fact, Class F, the queen's Miura Yumiko, the fujoshi's Ebina Hina, and the dumpling's Yuigahama Yui, were the number one girl group in the Hachiman class, but the queen fell in love with the prince of Sobu High School, and the two seemed to have merged together.

What was the name of the leader of the second group of girls? He thought vaguely, but couldn't remember it for a moment, or he had forgotten it at all. Maybe he would be able to remember it after meeting her.

"Hmm? I think it's a good thing. Maybe he wants to be your friend. After all, we are finally assigned to the same class in the second grade."

Hikigaya Hachiman complained: "Please spare me. Befriending the victim, isn't that sympathy?"

"Has your paranoia gotten worse?" Uesugi Genshin gently patted Hikigaya Hachiman's shoulder.

"What do you mean?"

"You can't let people see that you are actually a good person through your foolish behavior of saving the dog without hesitation, instead of shutting yourself in at home."

Hikigaya Hachiman always felt that he heard an inexplicable sarcasm in Uesugi Genshin's tone. Is "good-natured person" a compliment?

"This kind of thing is so troublesome..."

You don't deny being autistic and staying at home...

"Although it's hard to say about other popular groups, but Ye Shan and his people, how should I put it, at least they are a group of good people."

This good man is on a human level.

Hikigaya Hachiman said, "Let's explode now..."

Uesugi Genshin also said, "You can also be a live-action. Come on, I've always wanted to ride a horse. Shall we go to the equestrian center this weekend?"

Recalling the wonderful time he could waste on weekends, Hikigaya Hachiman refused without hesitation: "No, I won't go. Who wants to go out on the weekend? By the way, can you ride a horse?"

I've been riding a horse for three lifetimes and experienced two games of Mount & Blade, so how could I not know it?

"Yes, and I'm more than capable of teaching you." Uesugi Genshin showed a proud expression.

But this couldn't break through Hikigaya Hachiman's lazy defense at all. "No, I'm going to read comics at home and then take a leisurely nap in the afternoon."

"Look, so there is a reason why you are not a popular person. After all, everyone has their own way of life, and there is nothing wrong with a leisurely lifestyle. Before you become a social animal, enjoy this most enjoyable time in your own way."

In fact, Uesugi Genshin had never been to a horse farm or an equestrian gym in this life. The days of wielding a long spear and charging with a gun were gone forever.

Hikigaya Hachiman didn't know about Uesugi Genshin's psychological process.

"My ideal is to be a househusband." Hikigaya Hachiman remains true to his original aspiration.

"What a coincidence, I am also a part-time freelancer, and the happiness of being able to earn money at home all day is the best." Uesugi Genshin grinned, "So after all, we are best friends!"

Chapter 2: I hope nothing will change

The physical education class ended as usual, just like countless physical education classes before, without any incident. According to his lifestyle of hating the smell of sweat and absolutely not sweating if it was inconvenient to take a shower, he should have hated physical education class very much.

Even now, Uesugi Genshin slightly pulled up the light green school sportswear on his chest, leaned in to smell it, and there was still a faint smell of laundry detergent, but he decided to go back and wash it in the evening.

Looking at Uesugi Genshin who was acting so serious, Hikigaya Hachiman also lowered his head and stared at his sportswear for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of ​​smelling the same thing.

"Originally, I was planning to exchange with Zaimokuza midway."

"Who knew that we were almost talking until the end of the get out of class? There's nothing we can do. We can compensate him next time." Hikigaya Hachiman was also helpless. What should he do with this extra person?

"Would you like a drink? I'll treat you." Uesugi Genshin had no intention of just waiting for the next time, and he went straight to Zaimokuza who was walking over.

"Is this...is this giving salt to the opponent? Or is it planning to..."

Ah, this guy has a severe case of chuunibyou. Even he wouldn't be this sick. He is already terminally ill and incurable.

"As expected of you, the combination of dragon and tiger, you are an opponent who can compete with my swordsman general." Zaimokuza Yoshiteru covered his face with his hands, "But yo, Hachiman, I am absolutely... uh uh."

Hikigaya Hachiman took a quick step forward and covered Zaimokuza's mouth with his sweaty hands to prevent him from having another dark history that would make him bang his head against the wall late at night.

It was as if he was the object of competition, by these two bastards. And Zaimokuza had no intention of lowering his voice at all, this was the rhythm of his social death, did he really want him to die? !

Its heart is awkward!

"Mmmm, Hachiman, your hands stink." Zaimokuza's voice came through the gaps between Hikigaya Hachiman's tightly guarded hands.

"Shut up, idiot." You still care about this. You were almost facing death. It's like stopping a stupid president who was about to press the nuclear button at the last second. World peace is his achievement.

There was a sound of canned drinks hitting the ground, and the two of them looked at the person who hit the ground, Uesugi Genshin.

Seeing the two of them looking over, Uesugi Genshin threw the MAX coffee in his hand over, and the can spun a few times in the air, "Take it."

Hikigaya Hachiman loosened his grip on Zaimokuza's mouth, reached out his hands, hooked his hands together and caught the thing. It was MAX Coffee, the Chiba specialty that he was proud of.

He likes to drink this kind of coffee which contains more sugar than coffee. Should we say that even this strange drink with coffee added to sugar water has its loyal fans?
