Hikigaya Hachiman is still in the dark

"Me too, thank you for your guidance, teacher."

"Hey, I'm sorry you guys are doing this all of a sudden!" Mr. Hiratsuka blushed and waved his hands. He probably didn't expect us to do this. Now Mr. Hiratsuka looked a little flustered: "Hurry up and sit down. There's no need to be so formal."

"Yes." Xiao Xueno and I responded and sat down.

"I don't want to bother you, but Jing, what's the matter with you giving your car to Hikigaya? Did you help Hikigaya escape?"

"Yono, could you please not say that?" Teacher Hiratsuka looked at Sister Yangono with a serious expression. Sister Yangono made a "tsk" sound and then just sat there stirring the black tea out of boredom.

Seeing that Sister Yangno had calmed down, Mr. Hiratsuka turned his gaze to me and Yukinoshita again, as if he wanted to talk about Xiaoqi's matter. I leaned forward, trying to hear as clearly as possible.

"Hikigaya is currently in the hospital with a sick student. Due to an emergency, he is unable to come pick you up, Yukinoshita."

So Xiaoqi was going to do something like this? It was understandable. After all, Xiaoqi was like this. He was injured when he tried to save Sabre.

"It's indeed an irrefutable reason. However, even so, I think he should have called to inform me." Xiao Yukino's voice became a little lower. She probably realized that Xiaoqi's reason for not coming was an irrefutable reason.

"Ah, this." Mr. Hiratsuka took out a cell phone from his pocket, turned it around in his hand, and placed it on the table: "That idiot forgot his cell phone in the office."

"Oh, I see." Xiao Xueno's voice became softer, but she still lowered her head. Maybe she was thinking about something. I couldn't tell whether Xiao Xueno had forgiven Xiao Qi. Although there were very important reasons, even I felt that what Xiao Qi did this time was a bit too much. It didn't seem so easy to forgive him easily.

"Xueno, you see, Xiaoqi also has his own reasons which are understandable." I tried to persuade her, hoping that Xueno could forgive Xiaoqi. I didn't want to see Xueno and Xiaoqi have a falling out after just returning.

"There are indeed reasons that cannot be refuted! However, this time..." Biting her teeth tightly, with a firm look in her eyes, as if she was afraid of something, Yukino said seriously, "Although it is a legitimate argument, I don't know how to express it. Anyway, I can't and don't want to forgive Hikigaya."

Having heard something I didn’t want to hear, my eyes became somewhat lonely as I looked at Yukino. A sad voice came out of my mouth. I opened my mouth without giving up, “Yukino, well…”

Xiao Xueno shook her head: "Yuigahama, this is my decision. I am very grateful that you can come to pick me up today!"

One sentence made me feel as if I had fallen into an abyss.

Chapter 51 Is the teacher leaving?

"Is that so." Mr. Hiratsuka looked at Yukino with a little disappointment. Mr. Hiratsuka must be a little disappointed that Koyuki came specially to explain the result.

"After all, you are grown up and have your own judgment. It is difficult for me to say anything from my standpoint." Mr. Hiratsuka smiled bitterly and drank the beer in one gulp: "Then in order to prevent that idiot from doing anything to my beloved car, I will take my leave first." After saying that, Mr. Hiratsuka picked up his mobile phone, put it in his pocket and prepared to leave.

"Hey, teacher, are you leaving?" I asked, hoping that the teacher could stay for a while longer. After all, we hadn't seen each other for a long time and we might as well chat a little more.

When Ms. Hiratsuka heard my voice, she stopped, and then she looked at Yukinoshita with a somewhat uncomfortable look. Yukinoshita looked at Ms. Hiratsuka with a very calm look. Finally, Ms. Hiratsuka just smiled bitterly for a while, probably because she didn't get the answer she wanted. I was also surprised that Yukino didn't try to keep Ms. Hiratsuka.

"That's it. Technically, that student is under my charge. I had an emergency and couldn't ask Hikigaya to take care of him, so it would be best if I went there."

"Is that so? In that case, goodbye, Mr. Hiratsuka." I waved and said goodbye to Mr. Hiratsuka reluctantly.

"Goodbye, Hiratsuka-sensei."

"Well, let's have dinner together next time if you are free."

"Xiao Jing, please tell Hikigaya-kun that I am looking forward to the punishment."

So scary, Sister Yang Nai is so scary, why can she say such cold words with such a warm smile?

"I'll bring it there." Teacher Hiratsuka nodded, then turned and left.

"Well, let's eat." I looked at the silent Yukino and suggested in a low voice.

"Yeah." Xiaoxue responded to me softly, her voice seemed to contain many things, fatigue, disappointment, and the deep loneliness that seemed to drown the world.

Perhaps, it’s because something is quietly changing between us.

I don't know what that thing is, but I think that what we are pursuing, what we are expecting, what we are...destroying, is probably something like that.

My chest is aching, maybe it's my illusion...

……………………(Transition)

"Hikigaya, how is Umi no Hoshi?"

My face is red now. I fell asleep on Sea Star's bed because I was too tired. I didn't even notice when Hiratsuka teacher came. And now Hiratsuka teacher is looking at me with a snickering expression, it seems that there is some big misunderstanding.

"I'm almost recovered. I should be able to go to school normally tomorrow."

"Is that so? I'm relieved."

As I said this, I noticed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward. It might be because we were in the hospital, so the air was a bit quiet. But I still felt a little depressed. Maybe it was because Mr. Hiratsuka was hiding something from me. I could vaguely guess what it was.

Perhaps, Hiratsuka-sensei has met Yukinoshita, and I can probably imagine what Yukinoshita's attitude is.

I didn't get Mr. Pan. To put it in another way, it was like Totsuka and Komachi left me to live alone. To be forgiven to this extent makes me feel the magnanimity of Snow Wikipedia.

"Your cell phone." Mr. Hiratsuka said, throwing my cell phone to me, and I hurriedly caught it.

"I've met Yukinoshita." His hand suddenly froze in place, and the phone fell to the ground. Although I expected it, I still trembled uncontrollably when I heard it.

Sighing, Hiratsuka-sensei squatted down, picked up my phone, and put it in my pocket.

"You should be able to predict the general situation."

"Ah."

"What do you want to say?" Mr. Hiratsuka habitually took out a cigarette. I reached out to grab it and pointed at the Star of the Sea. Then Mr. Hiratsuka nodded painfully and put the cigarette back in his pocket.

After stopping the teacher, I sat down on my chair quietly and a little disappointed.

I already knew the result, but why can't I control my emotions?

"You..." Teacher Hiratsuka sighed slightly, her voice seemed to carry an indescribable loneliness for me. She walked quietly to my side, then bent down and hugged me. Her warm body temperature made my cold body gradually feel warm. As if with infinite pity, Teacher Hiratsuka's warm voice flowed in the ward like a clear spring.

"It's okay to be sad. You didn't do anything wrong. I told you before that when people interact with each other, there will be pain. You've done a good job, so if you want to cry, just cry. This should make you feel better."

"Crying will make you feel better, just like drinking can make you feel sad, but sadness is not something that can be easily resolved."

"You're so unlovable. Stop being so awkward at a time like this."

"be honest."

I was right. At least, I know that my tears cannot take away the sadness in my heart now.

"I'll leave this topic to you. This is all I can do to help you."

I was silent for a long time, and finally whispered "thank you".

Perhaps she was surprised by my words, Ms. Hiratsuka paused for a moment, then she looked at me with a gratified expression.

"You didn't know how to say thank you before."

"Compared to this, what about the parents of the Sea Star? They didn't even come to visit their sick daughter?"

"What about this?" Mr. Hiratsuka let go of my hand and sat on the other side of the chair: "He said he couldn't come because of something."

"Is that so?" I sighed bitterly, looking at the Star of the Sea who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed. She had already fallen asleep quietly, and the dim light made her delicate face even more beautiful in the dark night.

Of course, she is hiding something from me, about her parents and her past. However, I no longer want to use the previous method, which I consider to be the most efficient method. I will slowly wait until the day when Sea Star is willing to tell me.

Even though it was long, this is the answer given by the current me, the current Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Okay, Hikigaya, I'll sleep here tonight. Good night then."

"Hey, wait, why?"

"I'm so tired after traveling all the time. I've had a hard time with only one bed. Just spend the night in the same position as before. Although I feel relieved, I still want to remind you not to do anything strange."

Ignoring me, Mr. Hiratsuka covered his face with the mat.

Why can this person occupy the bed so openly? Also, you are here to take care of him, why should I...

"Cough cough cough..." Hai Zhixing's cough interrupted my complaints. It seemed that the quilt was not covered properly, so she instinctively felt cold. So, I carefully pulled the quilt for Hai Zhixing.

It seems that there is no way. The frequency of my sister's skills being automatically activated has been too frequent recently. However, it is too dangerous to fall asleep like I just did. I remember there is a bench outside the door, so I'll ask the nurse for a quilt and sleep there for the night. Having made up my mind, I walked to the door and looked at Hai Zhixing and Hiratsuka-sensei covered with a quilt. I couldn't help but smile.

"Good night." I said this and closed the hospital door.

When I woke up, I found that Hiratsuka-sensei and Uminehoshi were standing beside me. They stared at me with curiosity. I was frightened, so I quickly took the quilt off my body and sat on the bench. Then, I looked at the two people who were looking at me in surprise.

"Mr. Hikigaya, you're up so late."

"Whose fault do you think this is?" I shouted back at Sea Star who was complaining to me. Who am I doing this for?

"Ah, ha." Before I could finish my sentence, I sneezed. No wonder, after all, I had slept on the bench for a night.

"Teacher Hiratsuka told me that I don't mind even if you sleep with my quilt as your pillow..." Her voice became lower and lower. I instinctively moved closer to Hai Zhixing hoping to hear her voice clearly. Then, as if she had reacted, Hai Zhixing hurriedly pushed me away. I was caught off guard and was slammed into the wall in the morning.

"it hurts."

"That's not what I meant just now, teacher, please don't misunderstand me. I just, just, yes, if the teacher is sick, the school magazine cannot be completed, so..." Ignoring me who was covering my wound, Hai Zhixing said some meaningless lines.

"What? What are you talking about? I can't hear you at all..." Before I could finish my sentence, Hiratsuka-sensei at the side punched me in the abdomen for the first time in a long time. This time the impact felt stronger than before, comparable to the Tunguska explosion, and the cause was also unknown.

"I always feel angry just looking at you. Get up and go to school. We have to welcome a new teacher today!"

I held my stomach and thought to myself, the new teacher does seem to have said something like this.

"Anyway, let's get going early. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep."

What a selfish reason. Also, you slept in the bed last night.

"Good morning, everyone!" When I arrived at the office, I greeted Yuexia and Mita.

"Hikigaya-kun, you have dark circles under your eyes."

"Teacher Hikigaya, are you okay?" Yuexia looked at me worriedly.

"It's not a big deal." I gave an ugly smile. It was definitely not a big deal. I just almost had a sleepless night.

"It's better to go to the hospital." Teacher Yuexia advised me.

"It's better to let this one go."

"Eh? Why?"

Of course it’s because I just got out of the hospital.

"I'm coming in. This is your new colleague." Teacher Hiratsuka's voice sounded along with the sound of the door being pushed open, and I looked towards the door.

Long chestnut hair, grey pupils, familiar business attire and that familiar appearance, I was stunned and stood there.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Sagami Minami. Please take care of me in the future!"

Then, as if she noticed me, Sagami smiled at me. Maybe she knew about my existence through Hiratsuka teacher before, so she didn't act that embarrassed. But even so, I was still very nervous, just like when I met Orimoto who I hadn't seen for a long time in high school. Even though I knew it was meaningless, I was still nervous.

Most of the time, people are like parallel lines, with no intersection or encounter. Most of the time we just see each other from afar or pass by each other, just like parallel lines. We notice each other's existence, but nothing happens.

This is the relationship between Sagami and I. I noticed her before, and she must have noticed me a long time ago. However, we have no intersection. The only time was during the school festival before.

At that time, what I did for a world where no one gets hurt...

Chapter 52 Please give me more advice

Even now, I can't find any reason to completely deny that thing. I just vaguely feel that what I did was neither right nor wrong.

After such an encounter, perhaps Sagami also had a real aversion to me.

I also always thought that we would continue to live our lives like before, keeping our distance, noticing each other's existence but without any intersection.

However, reality is always so speechless.

In this case, as an adult, I have no choice but to go up. I smiled bitterly, and the next second, I adjusted my smile to make one that tried to make people feel refreshed.

"Welcome, my name is Hikigaya Hachiman, and I'm also a new teacher. Please take care of me in the future."

I held out my hand, and even though it was still a little awkward, I was able to shake hands and stuff.

"Well, please give me your guidance." Maybe because he didn't react at first, Sagami held my hand after a long time.

There is no sense of reality at all. As expected, reality is a lie, a fake...

After the awkward meeting with Sagami, Hiratsuka-sensei said he would personally send Umi no Hoshi home, and left with Umi no Hoshi. I was able to go find my bicycle with peace of mind. I was a little irritated because of meeting Sagami, so I wanted to ride a bike to relieve my anxious mood.

When I arrived downstairs at my house, I saw someone moving something. It seemed that someone was moving. But why did the furniture look so familiar?

The next minute, when I walked to the door of my house, I knew why, because workers from the moving company were walking out of my house one after another, and the one directing them was a familiar figure of the devil...

"Hey, Hikigaya-kun, good morning." Yangno waved to me.

"Why can you move things from other people's homes so openly?"

I don't remember the laws in RB being so infuriating. Strictly speaking, no, in a general sense, if someone entered my room and moved my furniture without my consent, that's trespassing, okay? Also, how did this person get in?

"Well, well." Yang Nai's face suddenly darkened. "Punishment, you don't think there's nothing, do you?"

I couldn't help but step back out of fear. Speaking of which, Yang Noko is a huge sister-con. Although she has conflicts with Yukinoshita, this is probably what she did deliberately for Yukinoshita. Sister-con is so scary!

"So, just go to your new home with peace of mind. Don't worry, it's not such a shabby place." I'm a new office worker, and it's really a shame to live in a place like this.
