Hikigaya Hachiman is still in the dark

"Teacher, didn't President Niwa come back with you?"

After I distributed the items, the student council members of Haibin High School noticed that there was no copy for them and looked at me in surprise.

"Well, Niwa has something to do, so he should be back soon."

"Hey, what's going on?"

The leading girl looked at me and continued asking questions.

I absolutely cannot say that I am trapped in love, otherwise a war without gunpowder will break out over there. I'd better just be perfunctory about it here.

"He didn't say it clearly, he should be back soon..."

As soon as I finished speaking, there was a knock on the conference room door, and then Niwa pushed the door open with his signature bright smile.

"I'm sorry, everyone. Something happened on the way, so I'm a little late..."

"President..."

The vice-president of Seaside High School was very happy to see Niwa coming back and went to greet him, taking the gifts he had bought from him.

"Thank you for your hard work, President. You took so long to come back that I was a little worried." "After all, this is a school. There won't be any big problems." Niwa smiled gently.

"Yeah, that's right."

Generally speaking, there is really nothing to worry about. It seems that Niwa is really loved by their student union members, but... I looked at Liumei, and Liumei was still standing there indifferently, without even glancing at Niwa.

His future is really bumpy... It feels like this is a path that belongs to Shura.

My gaze drifted to Niwa again. After Niwa noticed my gaze, he hurriedly looked away.

Will it still be embarrassing?

The vice president of the Haibin High School next door quickly distributed the gifts that Niwa bought. To my surprise, the vice president over there didn't ask about Liu Mei at all. It seemed like he was deliberately ignoring Liu Mei.

Niwa seemed to want to go up and say something to Rumi, but the other student council members said, "President, please help me. I don't know how to do this job." They pulled Niwa aside, and Niwa only resisted symbolically, without much struggle, and surrendered...

I really don't mean to belittle him, but I personally think he doesn't deserve to study in the U.S. because he won't refuse other people's requests. Anyway, the situation feels so complicated now, so forget it, I'll just do what I should do now.

It's time to break this deadlock. I took a can of my favorite MAX coffee, walked slowly to Liu Mei, and said to her softly: "Although the taste is a bit strange, I definitely recommend this to you as the first choice..."

Hearing my voice, Liumei looked up at me. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but no sound came out of her lips.

Is it "thank you"? Judging from the shape of her mouth... She tried to open her mouth, but no sound came out. This was a little cute... After trying again and still no sound came out, Liu Mei's ears quickly turned red. She turned her face away in embarrassment, adjusted her breathing, and looked at me again, showing me a smile that could warm this winter.

"What is that, stupid ass."

What about the same lines? During the previous joint activity, when I asked Liumei if she needed my help, her last lines were exactly the same as now.

Maybe... I'm really just like an idiot.

"What a strange taste." Liu Mei carefully took a sip of the MAX coffee I handed to her, and then looked at me with a frown after taking just one sip.

Of course, the taste of my favorite MAX coffee is not something that ordinary people can handle. Well, how can ordinary people understand the taste of the best drink created by God! There are often few people who appreciate the most beautiful things. This world is really lonely!

“But I always feel warm.”

Liumei gently held the MAX coffee can, looked at me with a smile and said.

I felt relieved, as it seemed to be within her acceptable range.

"Of course, this is my first recommendation."

I also responded with a faint smile. We were in the same place, communicating with each other with the same warm smile.

At that moment, I realized how foolish my previous worries were. I had always been worried about whether studying in the United States had really changed anything, and whether I could face the world more calmly. But when we really smiled at each other, I realized how foolish my previous worries were.

Liu Mei is a very outstanding girl. She has long been mature enough to face the world on her own. Whether in the past or now, Liu Mei has been fighting against the world in her own way. Although the road may be a little tortuous, she has always been making progress.

I was just a stop on her road, but I dared to judge and worry about her future path.

I am so stupid... It seems that I have done a lot of unnecessary things and worried about things that I don't need to worry about.

Despite this fact, I didn't feel depressed at all, on the contrary I felt very happy. Was it a sense of relief? Or was it something else, something wonderful that I still can't describe.

Is it a struggle to cross the sea? In this world.

I do remember that Editor-in-Chief Xiaozhi also said something similar: the world is so big, but the place that belongs to us is so small, and people live to struggle.

Fate is an incredible thing. It will allow you to meet someone who can change your life, and someone you can change. The bond between people is constantly strengthened in the promotion of mutual change, and constantly condenses into a person's whole life.

"Teachers will also be enlightened in the process of education. The educator and the educated influence each other. There is no one-sided giving in this world."

This is what Mr. Hiratsuka said to me when I first met Uminohoshi and Tamasaka. Now, I finally understand a little bit of what he meant.

Education and re-education, perhaps these things are the same as the fate between people.

If this is the case, then this sentence has to be said.

"Thank you, Rumi Rumi."

Perhaps she didn't expect me to say such a thing. After hearing my thanks, Liu Mei stood there like a robot without power. After reacting the next second, Liu Mei's cheeks became redder than before, but this time she didn't shyly turn her eyes away, but looked at me seriously.

"Me too, all along..." The second half of the sentence became a state where only her mouth kept opening and closing but no sound could be heard. It was obvious that Liu Meiliu Mei was trying very hard to convey her thoughts.

"Thank you..." A voice so low that it was almost inaudible came. Although the voice was very small, I could clearly hear it, that sincere "thank you".

"Isn't this something that can be said nicely?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Is it going to be like this again soon? Although I had expected it.

That's good. I hope the relationship between me and Liumei Liumei will always remain like this. The fate between us will surely last for a very long time.

It’s great to meet Liumei again this winter.

“I say, even if it’s a joint activity, you are still a teacher at Sobu High School, please don’t get your position wrong…”

Ben Chugui leaned forward from her seat and complained that this person really didn't know how to choose the right time.

"Then I'll get busy first."

"Ah."

After saying goodbye, I returned to my seat. Ben Chugui kept muttering something in her seat. It looked like it would be very troublesome, so I decided not to ask her what she was talking about. The key point of my task now was to quickly write the script for the stage play.

The conversation with Liu Mei also made me understand a lot more, and I have a clear judgment on the ending of the stage play.

Fate will not disappear easily, it requires giving from both parties. Even people on parallel lines may overlap due to the distortion of space. As long as you are willing to give, you will always gain something.

This is probably what I am thinking about now, the ending I want most.

If the misunderstanding is resolved, then I can arrange for a grown-up Hikigaya to make up for my past regrets and let him complete what I wanted to do most at that time.

That day, I was on the rooftop and my body slipped to the ground weakly. In the distance, the sky was blue and white clouds of various shapes were floating around, just like a great Impressionist painter painting on the canvas of the sky.

"It's simple, isn't it? A world where no one gets hurt is complete..."

Music is playing on the distant horizon. Yukinoshita and her friends' concert should be a success. After all, they are the perfect superhuman Yukinoshita, so this level is natural. Even if Yuigahama holds them back, they can still achieve great success.

Come to think of it, they haven't had a formal rehearsal before, so I don't know if it can go smoothly. But if it's those two people, I feel that everything will go smoothly.

At that time, I was clearly carrying these light thoughts with me, but for some reason, I felt that my body was becoming heavier and heavier, and I didn't even have the strength to get up.

If I think about it now, I can probably understand it easily.

Chapter 112 Hikigaya Hachiman is looking forward to change

A world where no one is hurt... In that false proposition, the only thing missing is me. I am not in such a world.

At that time, what I hoped would happen most was probably that someone would tell me loudly.

"A world where no one gets hurt also belongs to you."

Then, that person would pull me to the gorgeous stage. Under the colorful neon lights, I would apologize to Sagami in front of all the teachers and students in the school, and then finish my unfinished work.

Although it was very embarrassing, what I thought at that time was just such a trivial thing.

I remember that at that time, all I wanted was someone who could understand me and accompany me to accomplish what I wanted to do.

Yes, the world where no one gets hurt is a false proposition.

While I was hurting Sagami, I was also hurting myself.

The sword I used to cut off the criticism against Sagami was a two-sided sword. Although it cut off all the criticism, both Sagami and I were harmed to varying degrees.

If I could start over again, our ending would not be like this. I had such a quick mind at that time, but I could only come up with that solution...

The ending of the stage play was rewritten like this. The first half remained the same as before, and as for the ending, a good character was invented to give me a reason to take action again. Since it is a drama, such an arrangement is reasonable, right?

In this way, I could probably be like Yukinoshita and the others, standing on the stage, bathed in the lights and everyone's gaze, instead of being alone on the rooftop, looking at the sky, listening to intermittent singing, and fighting against the world alone.

Having made up my mind, I opened my sleeping laptop and clicked on the previous document.

Only this job is special, and I won’t complain anymore, President Motoki.

"I didn't expect Mr. Hikigaya to be able to type so quickly..."

Ben Chugui's voice suddenly came from beside me. While I was concentrating on typing, she moved a chair and sat next to me.

"Why do you suddenly want to get so close..."

My laptop is an old model, which I have been using since college, so the screen is relatively small. If Ben Chugui wants to see the document I type clearly, she has to get closer to the screen, which results in her body almost leaning on me.

"It's just a confirmation of the job, what are you thinking about, you perverted lolita teacher?"

If possible, I hope you can remember that it was you who came to me actively. I never forced you at all. I would rather say, please leave me as soon as possible. The gazes of the boys around me make me super uncomfortable.

Excellent people can naturally attract everyone's attention, for example, Ye Shan, he doesn't have to do anything deliberately, everyone will focus on him. Ben Chugui, who has done a very good job in the past few days, will naturally attract the attention of the entire conference room. Thanks to her, I, who originally just wanted to type quietly, was inexplicably noticed by the students in the conference room.

"I didn't think of anything. And why did I get called a lolita? To be honest, I have no interest in girls younger than me, except for my cute sister."

"Wouldn't that be even worse? You perverted sister-con teacher, just be quiet!"

Why did your anger level rise? Also, I have to remind you that although you deliberately lowered your voice, we are being watched by the students in the conference room. Can you please not add so many suffixes when calling me?

Even though I was full of complaints in my heart, I was a teacher after all, and it was not easy for me to lose my temper in public, so I had to move my chair back to put some distance between myself and Ben Chugui.

Noticing that I was moving backwards, Ben Chugui unceremoniously leaned further in front of me. This guy is really pushing his luck.

“It looks pretty good, but there seems to be room for improvement…”

"Please point it out and I will correct it immediately."

After hearing my answer, Ben Chugui was stunned for a moment. Oh no, because the conversation between her and me just now was just like the conversation between me and Xiaozhi, the editor-in-chief, I couldn't help but say such words. What a hateful professional habit!

"Well, I just think there are some areas that need improvement. The character can be more specific, and from the perspective of a stage play, it would be better to keep the setting simple..."

"Okay, I've made a note of it and I'll edit it right away."

I don’t know if this is like an occupational disease... Why do I have to be so nervous in front of my students... Ben Chugui saw that I was suddenly so abnormal, and kept looking me up and down, as if she was thinking about something. After a while, she looked at me with a strange expression.

"Pervert teacher, you are actually m, right?"

Why can't these unnecessary cognitions be wrong? What kind of environment did you grow up in?

"certainly not!"

I hit Ben Chugui on the head with my blade. Did this person really think I wouldn't be angry?

"It hurts...what did you do all of a sudden?"

"You must have something else to do, right? Get to work!"

"Humph, I'm also working. This is the most important thing, supervising the script of the stage play."

Don't be so smart in strange places, this is obviously an excuse, okay? You haven't even finished your own work!

"Don't make trouble for me here. You are completely affecting my writing of the script. I have indeed received your opinions. You should go back to your work as soon as possible."

I was already a little angry at this point, so my tone was naturally mixed with a hint of anger.

"what the hell!"

Perhaps sensing the anger in my tone, Ben Chugui looked at me in anger and shame.

"Weren't you and that girl from Seaside High School very close just now? Why did you become so impatient when it was my turn?"

I said, why are your reasons for being angry so strange? I really can't understand it at all. Anyway, given the current situation, I can't back down.

"That's normal communication. Communication is also necessary for joint activities. After all, I am your teacher. You have no right to interfere with my communication with others!"

"Who do you think wants to control you..."

Although we both kept our voices low enough that only the two of us could hear us, we couldn't hide the look of our quarrel. Everyone around us noticed this, stopped what they were doing and looked at us.
