Hikigaya Hachiman is still in the dark

"Hug, sorry."

"Just saying sorry is totally not enough, right? Shouldn't we find someone else? You may not be suitable for this job..." Ben Chugui supported one hand with the other and said after thinking for a while.

"It's okay, I will definitely do my best. I will work harder in the future. Please let me do it!"

Ben Chugui probably really wanted Huanian to take charge of the rest of the work, but Huanian quickly rejected Ben Chugui's idea and planned to actually complete the task himself.

"Even if you say so." Ben Chugui looked at Huanian in embarrassment.

I can understand that a girl like Huanian, who has a good personality, is definitely not suitable for this job. For example, since we are participating in a stage play, everyone definitely hopes that they can be selected as the protagonist. It would be fine if the person in charge of casting was a little tough, but if the person in charge of casting was not particularly tough, or even a little "easy-going", then things would be very bad...

Until the end, I was in a difficult situation and it was impossible to confirm the role quickly.

Before I knew it, Ben Chugui's eyes were on me. My heart skipped a beat. Wait, are you targeting me again? I just finished writing my own play script. For now, I would rather be more relaxed and come to inspect from time to time.

Although I am more worried about the casting, my job now should be to check your work, right? For things like casting, you should do it, and then I will only be responsible for checking whether the cast members are qualified. If they are not qualified, you can choose again. This is what I should do, like a corporate boss!

Ben Chugui was still looking at me, the heat in her eyes hadn't changed at all.

"How about you take charge of this matter?" Ben Chugui's eyes said this.

"Absolutely not!" I responded with my eyes.

"Aren't you worried about the casting for your stage play? Now is a good opportunity. If you choose it yourself, you will definitely not choose someone you are not satisfied with, right?" Ben Chugui continued to say this with her eyes.

I also used my eyes to express my dissatisfaction to Ben Chugui: "My work is over. Now, it is enough for me to just lie down and give orders."

"What a bad character."

"I want you to take care of it!"

The conversation between Ben Chugui and I was always based on eye contact. To put it simply, we winked at each other for a while, and Hua Nian looked at us in confusion. Qi Wu and Cun Jin had already started working, so they didn't notice our strange behavior. That was great! These two people were not as innocent as Hua Nian. If they had any bad guesses, it would be really bad.

Speaking of which, the students' thoughts have obviously become more and more evil recently. The government's control over information is not yet in place, and the extra knowledge has been absorbed by the students! Please strengthen the construction in this area.

"Never mind, you go ahead, teacher." Ben Chugui narrowed his eyes, as if he had no intention of continuing to argue with me.

"Wait a moment." I looked at Ben Chugui anxiously, but she didn't pay any attention to me at all.

"Huanian-chan, how about asking Mr. Hikigaya to accompany you in your future work? You shouldn't dislike Mr. Hikigaya, right? Although Mr. Hikigaya is useless, he can definitely help you in some strange places."

Is this the tone you use when asking someone for help? You're introducing me like this, rather than saying I'm here to help, I'm here to cause trouble, okay?

"Really? Is it really okay? Isn't Mr. Hikigaya very busy? It doesn't really matter if I'm alone. Mr. Hikigaya, you don't have to worry about me so much."

I said, please don't look at me with such innocent eyes? How can I reject you? After all, this look is too similar to Komachi who likes to play innocent...

"It's okay. If it's just a little time, it doesn't matter. After all, it's my own stage play, and I also want to personally supervise the selection of actors."

Damn it, my brother's skill was activated unconsciously! This is all your fault, Komachi! Do you know how much more work your brother has caused me to do because of your spoiled behavior?

"Really? If you can help me, Mr. Hikigaya, I will be very happy!" Huanian said happily, but she seemed to be still worried about something and didn't dare to look me in the eye.

"Don't be so scared. It's nothing. I've been quite free lately. Helping students is a teacher's job..."

"Tsk." Ben Chugui, who was standing aside, put her hands on her hips and seemed to make some strange noises. Just ignore it.

"That's good. Please, Mr. Hikigaya! I'm quite stupid and I probably can't be of much help..." Hua Nian said and bowed to me.

"You don't have to be so deliberate. As classmate Huanian said, just be yourself. I still have confidence in you."

"Tsk." Someone next to me seemed to make some strange noises again. Just ignore it, ignore it, ignore it...

"Well, let me show my information to Mr. Hikigaya first. Mr. Hikigaya, please wait a moment."

After Huanian left, Benchugui looked at me with interest.

"Mr. Hikigaya, you're surprisingly good at coaxing girls, aren't you?"

"Why is this the focus? Generally speaking, shouldn't I be considered gentle, good at guiding students, and a very good teacher?"

"You're so confident in unexpected places, Hikigaya-sensei."

"Each each other."

While he was arguing with Ben Chugui, Hua Nian had already taken the archival materials and said he was going to take care of his own things. Ben Chugui then returned to his seat, took out his notebook, and started to get busy.

The rest of the student union members are working so hard, so you can imagine how much work Ben Chugui has. After all, she has to be responsible for the overall planning and venue professional matters, and each matter has to deal with the upper management, so it is much more troublesome. This guy is also very stubborn. Obviously, if he asks me for help, many tasks can be easily solved through the position of teacher.

"Teacher Hikigaya, these are all materials about performance clubs." Hua Nian said as he handed me the materials in his hand.

This is no wonder. Considering the plot of this stage play, I can only find suitable actors from the high school students of this school. By the process of elimination, it would be better for me to choose people from the performance clubs.

It's great that I've narrowed down the scope. I thought I needed to publish a notice in the school magazine and let the students sign up enthusiastically. Just thinking about it, that's probably impossible. If the schedule is so tight, it's impossible to select from the whole school. Moreover, if the whole school knows about the casting, the students' expectations for the stage play will become higher. Too high expectations are not good news for me...

Chapter 158 Tsurumi Rumi Didn't Appear in the Same Place

"I have read most of the information. After that, I will contact the leaders of those clubs." After reading all the information, I planned to contact the leaders of those performing arts clubs by myself and try my best to ask them to recommend people to be the leading actors.

"Eh, so fast?"

"It's nothing. Most of the information can be directly read. There are also skills to reading the materials."

"You sound amazing. Hikigaya-sensei, you are indeed special."

"Nothing. My next step is to contact the club. If you're Huanian, do you want to go with me or wait for me here?"

"Of course I have to go together. I have also contacted the leaders of those societies before. Although I can't help much, I will definitely try my best!"

Looking at Huanian who was trying hard to swear but was afraid that I didn't believe him, I really didn't know what to say. This is not what I meant. I just think it would be better if we worked separately.

"Well, please." This way, he couldn't refuse, so he decided to work together: "Here's the thing, if possible, could you recommend one or two performers?"

"Okay, no problem. Can I play the lead role as agreed before?"

"Well, for this, the roles are still up for discussion..."

"Didn't we agree on this before?"

"I shouldn't have made such an agreement..."

Looking at the embarrassed Huanian and the pressing club leader, I also started to have a headache.

Normally, the club leader was also thinking about his members, so this made sense, and based on his wording, they should have discussed it beforehand. Although I can imagine that it was his constant pressure that made Hua Nian hesitate, and in the end, he took it upon himself to treat this matter as an agreement.

We still need to be a little tougher here.

"We will discuss the casting again later. As for the previous agreement on the lead actor, I'm sorry that you must have misunderstood something. Hua Nian cannot decide the roles of actors by himself."

"Is that so? But if possible, please arrange for us to have more roles..." the club leader still spoke unwillingly.

"That's no problem. I'll try my best."

"Then thank you for your help, teacher." He said this and bowed to me.

"Okay, as for the list, please give it to me as soon as possible."

"No problem, I will make the list as soon as possible later. Thank you for your hard work, teacher." After getting the promise from the Performing Arts Department, I nodded and left the office with Huanian.

"Classmate Huanian, you had to be tough in the situation just now, otherwise these people will become even more aggressive later." I said to Huanian while walking on the road.

"But I'm not very good at this kind of thing..."

This is very troublesome. If you don't know how to say no to others, doesn't that mean you will have a lot more work for no reason? This kind of personality is really disadvantageous.

"You will be at a disadvantage with a personality like this! Especially when you enter society, you will be taken advantage of by many people..."

"I know it myself, but I just can't change it. I also want to be tougher, but many times I become like that without realizing it..." Hua Nian said in annoyance.

So she herself is also aware of that? If I only looked at Huanian's performance, I would have thought she had no awareness of this.

"I knew a long time ago that my personality was disadvantageous, and even if I didn't want to know, there was nothing I could do. Many of my friends advised me to change my easy-going and non-aggressive personality. That's why I joined the student union.

"Because of this? Do you want to train yourself and become more capable?"

"That's not the case." Hua Nian shook her head: "The reason I joined the student union is because of the person I admired." She paused, and then continued: "I have always admired President Ben Chugui. She does things without hesitation and is very brave and decisive.

Honestly, President Motochu is my ideal self. I don't know when the idea of ​​joining the student union came to my mind. I think if I can get closer to the person I admire, I might change, so I joined the student union."

So that's how it is. Indeed, with such a personality, Huanian is not suitable for working in the student union. The student union has a lot of things to do, and must work together with many subordinate organizations. From this point of view, without a certain level of leadership and decisiveness, it is completely impossible to be competent.

But on the other hand, by joining the student union, you can hone your abilities in this area. Plus, if there are people you admire there, then that's reason enough to join.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hikigaya, for talking about so many irrelevant things." Huanian apologized to me.

"It's not something to apologize for. Communicating more with students is also a teacher's job."

"It's so kind of you to understand me. Thank you, Mr. Hikigaya!"

"It's okay if you don't thank me so seriously."

"Okay, I understand." Having said this, Huanian and I continued walking in the corridor of Sobu High School.

"Huanian, although I am not your direct instructor, nor an advisor to the student union, I still want to know, has anything changed since you joined the student union?"

"There's nothing much to say, but the irony is that I joined the student union because of my likable personality, and as a result I got more votes. Originally it was something I wanted to change, but in the end it became a force for change. It's really ironic when I think about it..." Hua Nian said self-deprecatingly.

"Don't say that anymore." I interrupted Huanian. This child was very gentle, but like other classmates, he had fallen into a misunderstanding.

"You have a good personality, there is no doubt about that, but this personality is not suitable for certain things. Don't doubt yourself just because someone else's personality is very suitable for a certain thing."

Many times, people are like this. It’s not that they can’t do it, but that they are not suitable for it.

Even if you give a fish wings, it still can't fly in the sky, and even if you give a bird gills, it still can't swim in the water. Their body structures are just like this, not just because of some special characteristics.

"You don't have to be too jealous of others' excellence. Others are just more suitable for doing this thing than you. Moreover, you are already making real progress. Compared with many people who are standing still, you are much better. Many times, people don't care how much progress they make, as long as they are making progress, that's enough."

My words seemed to give Huanian a lot of insight, and she thought about it for a long time.

"Teacher Hikigaya is really gentle!" Hua Nian spoke softly after a long time.

"It's not as good as you say." I nodded embarrassedly. I was very happy to receive such straightforward praise from my students.

"I have roughly understood what Mr. Hikigaya wants to convey to me, and I will work harder from now on."

"It's good enough to have this kind of momentum, keep going!"

"Ah."

Huanian answered me very energetically. Because of this conversation, the originally cold world seemed to have become much warmer.

Although I don’t know the effectiveness of my education, there is no doubt that I have gained a lot today.

But... why do I always feel that Hua Nian has been clinging to me since the beginning? Is it my illusion? Maybe it's just because the corridor is too cold... When Nian Hua and I finished our work and returned to the student union meeting room, the meeting was already over. The other two members of the student union and the student union members of Haibin High School had already left the meeting room, and only Ben Chugui was still working on his laptop at his seat.

"Hey, you're back. How's it going?"

As always, he still puts on the attitude of a superior. Having said that, I have recently begun to get more and more accustomed to this tone. Sometimes, I really feel that I am going further and further into some strange places.

"Thanks to Mr. Hikigaya... things have been almost dealt with..." Huanian, who was next to me, spoke softly. Maybe she was still afraid of Ben Chugui, so her voice was very low and she seemed very nervous.

Such a reaction is inevitable. It is natural to feel a little nervous when standing in front of the person you admire.

"Everything has been almost settled. All performing arts clubs have said they will seize the time and select outstanding actors to participate in the stage play as soon as possible." After Huanian, I added some specific circumstances.

"That's good news, but time is very tight. If possible, I hope to select the actors by this weekend, so I may have to trouble you two again." This guy is openly taking up my weekend time! Where did you come from, this black-hearted boss?

"Okay, no problem. It's my fault, so I will try my best. As Mr. Hikigaya said..." Huanian glanced at me secretly.

"Mr. Hikigaya has already troubled him enough with what he said. It's okay for me to work on my own from now on."

"It's good that you have such awareness, but given your personality, you will definitely be delayed in the end because of the allocation of roles, right?" Ben Chugui spoke hesitantly, and then her eyes stayed on me.

"No problem, I can be there that day." The situation was exactly the same as this morning, so I had no choice but to agree.

"Student Nianhua, don't mind it. I originally planned to select the actors for the stage play myself. It has nothing to do with you." Nianhua's eyes gradually dimmed after I agreed to take this job. Maybe she felt embarrassed to trouble me again.

"Really? Hikigaya-sensei, aren't you humoring me?"

"That's not the case at all. Don't think too much about it."

"Okay, okay. From now on, I'll have to trouble Mr. Hikigaya as well!" Nianhua said happily.

"If you have nothing else to do, you can go back first. I still have work to discuss with Mr. Hikigaya later."

"Okay, see you tomorrow, President." After saying hello to Ben Chugui, Hua Nian happily walked out of the conference room door with her bag. When she walked out of the door, she waved to me on purpose, and I also waved back to Hua Nian.

"Mr. Hikigaya, congratulations on conquering another character." Motochū Kei looked at me with a sly smile.

"What are you talking about all of a sudden?" I ignored Ben Chugui and returned to my seat to organize my things. "Aren't students completely unconquerable to teachers? Please recognize the difference between the second dimension and the third dimension."

"It always feels unreal to be told that by someone who writes about the second dimension."

"By the way, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"See you."
