Hikigaya Hachiman is still in the dark

Yukinoshita bit her lip and said, "That cannot be denied."

After Yukinoshita said this, the three of us remained silent, especially me, because that incident was ultimately caused by my arbitrary behavior, and I have to take a large part of the responsibility.

If everyone has regrets in their youth, then staying in the United States is definitely a regret for the three of us. At that time, Yukinoshita, Yuigahama, and I were not that mature, and under my persuasion, we finally adopted a very extreme method to help him stay in the United States.

There is a shadow of me in those who studied in the United States. They were also rejected by others, but they found reasons to comfort themselves, pretended to see through others, and then turned their mental setbacks into spiritual support.

Liu Mei also has the shadow of Yukinoshita, she is equally outstanding and kind, but because of her excellence she doesn't have a single close friend. She can only stay alone in a corner, working hard to stay outstanding.

There is even some of Yuigahama's shadow in Liumei, she is just as brave and gentle, but she cannot find her own pace in getting along with others. Even if she bravely stands up for her friends in times of danger, she does not expect any reward afterwards.

Everyone can find his or her own shadow in a child, which is understandable, but our wrong actions allow this shadow to live in our hearts and cannot be forgotten.

After a long while, Yuigahama asked me tentatively, "How is Rumi now?"

"Although I joined the student union of their school, I am still alone as before. There is not much change."

"Oh, really? That's only natural." Yukinoshita responded to me dejectedly. She should also know that the situation of studying in the United States is likely to always be like this.

"Xiao Qi, you can't use the same old method this time."

"I know that." I nodded to Yuigahama. I have a great responsibility for the way things have turned out. If possible, I will definitely try my best to let Liumei return to the normal life of a high school student, at least let her have her own friends.

"Well, please, there is nothing we can do to help you right now."

"Although I am reluctant, Hikigaya is the only one who can help me now..."

There are many things to do recently. If I add the help for those studying in the United States, I suddenly feel that the burden on me is very heavy... Seeing my embarrassment, Yuigahama waved her hand quickly:

"Xiaoqi, don't work too hard. You have a lot of things to deal with. Just do your best. I know you have been working hard." "This is my responsibility. I can't shirk it."

"Then please."

"Small businesses should not push themselves too hard."

"Yuigahama-san, you still underestimate Hikigaya's ability. In the past, he used all kinds of dirty tricks to accomplish many things that ordinary people could hardly achieve."

"If possible, I hope you can praise my actions with wisdom."

"Hikigaya-kun, is it true that the skin of a creature like you will only grow with age?"

"Yukinoshita, is your venomous tongue the only thing that grows with age?"

At this point, I couldn't help but think of something, and I couldn't help but look at Yukinoshita. Sure enough, it was still the same. I breathed a sigh of relief. After so long, the genetic genes still couldn't change any part of Yukinoshita. Of course, I can only think about such things in my heart. If I accidentally say it out loud, I guess I will die without dignity...

"You two should stop it! Aren't you both human? You're the same species as me, right?"

"Yeah, Yuigahama, I don't think you and I are the same species." I looked at Yuigahama firmly. Yukinoshita also looked at Yuigahama with a very gentle gaze.

"Yuigahama, idiots are a different species."

It's terrible that he said such excessive words, even though his eyes were gentle.

"Why are you targeting me all of a sudden? I've been working hard, too!"

"Hey, when I went to the decoration market yesterday, the decoration options were clearly flower shops, so why did someone go to a decoration store that only had food as wallpaper?"

"Well, well, I'm just afraid that customers will get hungry while shopping." People who come to a flower shop usually don't come hungry, right? It's not like they have to shop for a long time. And if you put so much food on the wall, customers will get hungry even faster...

It seems that after all this time, Yuigahama has only grown in some ways...

Chapter 105 Hikigaya Hachiman is worried about the future

"Really? Didn't I look for a suitable decoration very seriously later?" Yuigahama puffed up her cheeks and complained.

"Come to think of it, the style of the decoration has indeed been decided, although Yuigahama is in the way..."

"Really? What do you mean I'm in the way? I've tried my best, Yukino, don't say such harsh words!" Yuigahama behind Yukinoshita kept complaining, but Yukinoshita was still very calm, even without changing her expression. Yukinoshita was really super scary now! Could a species like Yukinoshita still evolve?

"Hikigaya, is the design of the trademark you mentioned earlier finalized? If it is finalized, it would be best to instruct a professional store that makes house numbers to start making them now."

"Oh, I didn't ask."

Frankly speaking, I have been spending less time in the school magazine office recently due to the Christmas joint event and the writing of the novel. In addition, the work of a teacher is very tiring, so I forgot to ask Tamasaka if she has finished the design of the trademark...

"I say, have you really not reflected on your work efficiency in the past few years? You were like this in high school. No matter what you did, you liked to put off your work until the last minute. I didn't expect that you are still like this now." Yukinoshita rubbed her temples with a headache.

Well, you are so naive, Yukinoshita. Even now I think I have lost at work. You still expect me to be motivated to work when I am like this? You are so naive.

"Why are you looking at me with such a smug expression." Yukinoshita looked at me suspiciously.

"No, nothing, please don't think too much about it."

"Really?" Yukinoshita's eyes were even more suspicious. This guy was still as sharp as before. Tsk.

"If you have time, how about calling your two students out? Designing a trademark is not a difficult task, and it should only take an afternoon. If you have more time, it would be better to look at some decoration sample pictures together, so that you can design trademarks and signs according to the decoration style."

"Oh, that's fine. I also want to go outside and meet some cute juniors!" Yuigahama poked her head out from the side and expressed her opinion.

It is true that it is easier to solve through face-to-face discussions. I do not have such a high taste in painting, so if you think about it this way, there is nothing wrong in letting them meet.

"Recently, I and those two students are going out to look for materials for the school magazine. Although the location has not been confirmed yet, it should be in Chiba. Do you want to go with us?"

"If we go locally, we should have enough time, and we can also take some time to go to the decoration store to confirm the decoration template." "Then, it's confirmed!" Yuigahama said happily.

Don’t be so happy just because you meet a few juniors. Today’s juniors are very scary!

"I'll leave the communication to you."

"That's no problem, but you guys..." I looked away because I was shy: "Can you go out first so I can change my clothes?"

"Ah, that's right."

"Hang, hug, sorry Xiaoqi, we'll be out right away." Yuigahama and Yukinoshita's faces quickly turned red, and then both of them left my room very quickly.

Such a reaction is understandable, and I am embarrassed to say such things, but Yukinoshita and the others did not help me take off my clothes when they moved me to the bed, and now I feel extremely uncomfortable.

After changing clothes and going out, Yukinoshita and Yuigahama were still in the living room. The two of them were constantly bringing the food that had just been heated up in the microwave to the table in the living room.

But if it were just breakfast, it would be too rich. Why would there be so much?

"Yuigahama, why are there so many dishes? Is this breakfast?"

"No, this is the dinner I made last night to reward Xiaoqi, but Xiaoqi didn't come back, so this is what's left over from last night."

“I just can’t eat the rest of the food.”

The two people gave completely different answers, but never mind, it was probably because I cooked too many dishes last night. But why do I have to cook so much for every meal? It's not a holiday worth celebrating, and even if it's a reward, I have to consider my appetite. It would be a waste to cook so much for every meal, how can I be worthy of the farmers who work hard on the land in Chiba, not to mention me who runs around outside.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoqi, you have classes in the morning. Did you forget?"

"Hey, wait, why didn't you remind me earlier?"

When I think about it, I still have classes in the morning, and if I am absent without reason, I will definitely be punished by Mr. Hiratsuka. I was careless, damn it!

"Hikigaya, don't you think about who sent you here? Hiratsuka-sensei has already arranged a substitute teacher for you."

Yukinoshita looked at me coldly while fiddling with the tableware. Only then did I realize that if I was dragged back by Hiratsuka teacher last night, Hiratsuka teacher should have known that I would not be able to go to class the next day, and she should have arranged a substitute teacher long ago.

"Is that so? Then who is the person who is substituting for me? I need to thank him/her properly over the phone later."

Normally speaking, it should be Yuexia, but if it is Mita who is substituting for me... then it will be necessary to re-educate my students afterwards. It would be bad if they were led onto a strange path.

"Aren't you very familiar with that person?" Yukinoshita looked at me with ill intent: "Sagami Minami, you should be very familiar with him."

The name she said surprised me a little. Although I knew Sagami had joined Sobu High School and became a teacher a long time ago, we didn't have much communication except for the first time we met. She even declined the farewell party for Fujiwa because she had something else to do. "Xiaoqi, is everything okay? You guys had a big conflict before..." Yuigahama asked me worriedly.

"Probably..." I hesitated for a while. I wanted to say that it didn't matter much to me, but to be honest, I didn't know how to communicate with Sagami.

"Probably, no problem."

"If it should be used together with 'probably', doesn't it mean a big problem?" Yukinoshita rubbed her temples in pain again.

"Hehehe." Yuigahama smiled awkwardly at the side, and it seemed that she understood my current predicament.

"But Xiaoqi, I think Xiaosagami should have forgiven you. I still remember that during the last sports festival, everyone had a dispute because of your strange behavior, and she was quite on your side."

Protecting? I do remember that during the sports festival, two people who were originally good friends with Sagami had a conflict with Sagami, and then there was a long quarrel. In the end, although I solved the problem with my own unique method, I was still determined to be the bad guy. Yuigahama seemed to have told me at that time that Sagami was very angry with those who slandered me.

At that time, I didn't think too much about these things, because for me, everything I did was not for those hypocritical thanks or understanding, nor was it for getting someone's reward later. At that time, I helped others just because I didn't want others to be hurt like me.

What a nice-to-have idea. I still remember that day, after I revealed Sagami's true thoughts on the rooftop, I whispered softly, "You see, it's very simple. A world where no one will get hurt has been created." In that world, there is no me, and no one who cares about me.

But there will always be many people who get hurt in this world, and everyone should learn to grow up. A world where no one gets hurt does not exist. Well, it probably does not exist.

I don't want to have any contact with Sagami again, maybe because I'm afraid that Sagami will be hurt again. After that incident, although all the blame was directed at me, Sagami's image in people's hearts must have been discounted. I don't want to have too much contact with Sagami because I want to protect Sagami and prevent her fragile daily life from completely collapsing.

At that time, I thought it would be best for Sagami and I to maintain that distance. I was still Hikigaya Hachiman who was alone in the corner, and she was still Sagami Minami who was close to the current group. There was no possibility of us meeting each other. It was impossible for people from two different worlds to meet each other. Even if we met, we would no longer have any intersection afterwards.

Now that Sagami Minami has become my colleague, I should repair the relationship between us. If the relationship between colleagues is not handled well, big problems will arise. Today, thank you for helping me with my class, and I will treat her to a meal later to express my gratitude.

"Okay, I understand. I will handle it well." After thinking about it, I nodded seriously to Yukinoshita and Yuigahama.

"Well, it shouldn't be a big problem. Xiaoqi's words are very attractive nowadays, right, Yukino-chan?"

"Why are you asking me..." Yukinoshita turned her head and ignored Yuigahama. Yuigahama supported her chin with both hands and looked at Yukinoshita amusemently.

I'd better not get involved in such scenes. By the way, I'm still somewhat confident about my current appearance. The great god of glasses, Shinpachi, will bless me.

After dinner, I checked today's class schedule. Although Mr. Hiratsuka arranged for me to take a full-day substitute class, I thought it would be better to go to school in the afternoon.

I had prepared for the course before, so I didn't need to make any special preparations. It was a rare free time, so I thought carefully for a while about how much I had to do. So, I took out my notebook and started preparing to write my own serialized novel.

The new novel is about body exchange, and such an idea is not uncommon. It is indeed very difficult to write a highlight. One must grasp the psychological changes of the two protagonists after they exchange bodies. The description of this is actually quite troublesome. On the one hand, there must be a very clear curve of emotional changes and a description of the psychological changes of the protagonists, and on the other hand, a detailed description of the unfolding events is also required. To be honest, I am still quite worried about whether I can write this work well.

I kept rubbing my hair. After all, I hadn't typed for a long time, so I felt a little uncomfortable when I suddenly started typing. Besides, I had no inspiration at all for the novel I wrote this time. It's no exaggeration to say that I was forced to do it.

But I finally finished writing the prologue according to the previous tone. It took me so long to write just that little bit. It seems that I, a social animal, am really getting old.

Chapter 106 Hiratsuka Shizuka always appears in the expected place

I sent the preface I had written to Isshiki via email. Although, at the beginning, I still found it hard to accept the fact that she was my new editor, but now I have gradually adapted to her new identity as my editor. Habits are really scary.

Shortly after I sent the email, my avatar on Line, which was originally gray, lit up. Isn't it natural to be in do not disturb mode when the avatar is gray? Please don't pay attention to my emails and keep the avatar gray.

"The preface to the novel?"

"Ah."

"."

"What does a period mean? I'm writing seriously, okay?"

"Senior, you have become more and more proficient at lying recently!"

There was an inexplicable pause. Even through the computer screen, I could almost see Isshiki's devilish smile. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder.

“I really took it seriously.”

"Senior, even the period after your typing shows that you have no confidence!"

I %@＃￥@＃%*? Since when can I guess the other person's mood when chatting on Line!

"I have no idea what the relationship is between your preface and the theme of the novel. It has a strong flavor of your predecessor's previous novel. What's even more incomprehensible is that it also contains your predecessor's own complaints. In short, it is a complete failure. I have rejected the manuscript. Please rewrite it for me."

"Isshiki, after all, I am still your senior. Doesn't it sound a bit weird to say that?" I typed carefully. Why did I have to be so cautious when dealing with this demon even through a screen? Was it out of instinct?

"What are you talking about, senior? I am your editor now. Uh-huh, I have been waiting for this day for a long time!"

Me? ? ? Editor Yise, you are just an intern and your intention to be my editor is very impure. Can I apply for a more dedicated editor?

"Rewrite it for me anyway!"

After I sent this message, Yi Se's avatar turned gray. It seemed that I had no room to continue to argue. I should rewrite it! Who told me that she is an editor now, and I am just a poor writer? There is an old Chinese saying that goes: "Now people are the butchers and I am the meat... Something seems to be wrong. Forget it. I'd better hurry up and finish the task."

Sighing, I deleted all the documents I had typed previously.

"What's wrong with Xiaoqi? Why are you sighing there? Is your new novel not going well?" Yuigahama poked her head over.

"How should I put it? It's not going very smoothly. It's better to say that I have encountered a bottleneck."

"Oh. I see. It's rare for a small business to encounter a bottleneck." Yuigahama looked at me in surprise, then stood up and quickly ran to my side, and stretched her head towards my computer screen.

"No, no, let me see it. Maybe my advice can help you get out of the bottleneck."

I think if I follow your advice completely, my new novel will definitely become a classic fairy tale novel.

"Too close. It's just a preface. Some of what I wrote before was denied by Isshiki. Now I have no idea how to write it." Although I reminded Yuigahama, she still didn't distance herself from me. Instead, she moved closer to me and looked at the computer screen very close to my face. I said, aren't you afraid of getting myopia if you stand so close to me?

"Oh, I see. Wait, what did you say? Xiaoqi, did you just say that your editor is Isshiki? Xiaocaiyu?"

Yuigahama looked at me in surprise, and because she was unsure she emphasized the word "same color" twice.

"Yes, it's Isshiki. She's currently working as an intern in the editorial department."
