Hikigaya Hachiman is still in the dark

I feel really touched, but if I think about it carefully, I don't know what I'm feeling. Sometimes it's like this, my body is inexplicably filled with emotion, but if I think about it carefully, I don't know what I'm feeling. Just think of it as a sudden gust of wind in my heart...

"Sobu High's student council president and teacher?"

Halfway through the journey, a man in the Haibin High School uniform looked at us in confusion.

Maybe she didn't want to say hello to us, but just called out instinctively when she saw us. I and Motoki are not very familiar with the members of the Seaside High School Student Council. Niwa might say hello, but the rest of the members would probably just say hello politely and then go their separate ways as if they were strangers.

"Yes, judging from your uniform, you are a student of Seaside High School, right?" Ben Chugui frowned, wondering who the girl in front of her was. She did look familiar... If I think about it carefully, wait, isn't this the girl who stood up against Ben Chugui on the first day?

"You, are you the girl who stood up against me on the first day?"

"The characteristics of remembering people are very strange..." The visitor said calmly: "But it is true that that incident is quite impressive. Indeed, I am the girl who stood up against you that day."

The atmosphere is a little off. You two are not trying to start a war here! There are many innocent students and teachers around. Please don't let them get involved in this innocent fight! Also, Ben Chugui, can you have some common sense? When you meet someone you don't know very well, you shouldn't say your impression of the other person like this, okay?

"Oh, it's really you! I was really scared when you stood up."

"I didn't expect myself to be like that. Maybe it's because you were too arrogant that my body stood up involuntarily."

"This kind of thing is understandable. After all, it is unacceptable for a person who is obviously giving wrong guidance to be so arrogant and give orders." Ben Chugui laughed.

Wait, isn't the script wrong? Also, the channel is a little weird. Where is the fight between women? Why did it become like this, like a meeting between good friends?

"I apologized afterwards, but that seemed to be directed only at the student council members of Seaside High School as a whole. Since we have met here, I apologize to you specifically. I am really sorry. It was my fault for the last incident."

"It's okay. I have to go buy some comfort items. I'll leave first."

"See you later."

"Well, see you later."

After saying hello, the female student from Seaside High School walked towards the convenience store.

"Teacher, why are you looking at me so strangely? Are you thinking about something over 18?"

Her words were as bad as ever, so it seemed that she was still the same Ben Chu Gui. But no matter what, her behavior just now was too abnormal, and she was totally unlike the strong Ben Chu Gui she usually was.

"Why are your eyes getting weirder? Has Hikigaya-sensei just discovered my charm?" Motoharu said this, twisting her body uneasily. She hugged her upper body with both hands cautiously: "Let me make it clear first, although I like Hikigaya-sensei very much, it is definitely not to the extent of offering my body to him."

The topic was too jumpy and I couldn't accept it at all. Also, apart from Komachi, I had no interest in anyone younger than me.

"Boring." Ben Chugui relaxed his guard and smacked his lips quietly.

"Just keep your jokes to a minimum."

"cut."

This is also very infuriating!

"Teacher Hikigaya, you are doubtful about my performance, right? Indeed, if I were a student of Sobu High School, even if I met someone who pointed out my mistakes, I would apologize, but I would never lower myself like this." Before I opened my mouth, Motohura Kei expressed my doubts, and I nodded to her to indicate that this was what I was doubting.

Just as Ben Chugui said, although she can admit her mistakes, she will never actively lower her attitude like she did just now. Rather, it is actually very difficult for Ben Chugui to admit her mistakes, so I am very puzzled by Ben Chugui's humble attitude just now.

"It can't be helped, right? After all, they are students from other schools. If we don't handle it properly, they will say that the students of Sobu High School are impolite and self-righteous when they return to their own school. Such bad words will be said..." Motochurui stopped walking, raised his head slightly and looked at the blue sky: "It's not an individual that they represent, but the entire Sobu High School students. Therefore, no matter how unwilling I am, I have to lower my attitude. With such a position, plus I am the student council president, it is natural for me to make some sacrifices."

I was surprised by Ben Chugui’s words. Combined with what Teacher Yuexia and Secretary Huanian said before, I finally understood why Ben Chugui was so popular among students.

Although this person has never said it, she has always been thinking about the students of Sobu High School. But from this point of view, in terms of interpersonal communication, Motoharu Kei also has her own degree. With excellent work ability, excellent grasp of interpersonal relationships, and her strong sense of responsibility, this person is indeed the best choice for the student union president.

"Your eyes suddenly changed! Hikigaya-sensei, are you in love with me because I accidentally revealed my reliable side?"

There is no doubt that his character is bad in some places.

"Also, Mr. Hikigaya, that person is the same as me in this respect!"

Chapter 161: A strange conversation is still going on in the student union room

"That person? Are you talking about the female student from Seaside High School?" I asked Motochugui about the person she had mentioned before.

"Yes, that's her." Ben Chugui answered me briskly, and stayed where she was, twirling her fingers. "She should be like me, unwilling to talk to the other party, let alone take the initiative to say hello. If I'm not mistaken, she talked to me because of her position. She was able to maintain basic etiquette probably because she represented the students of Haibin High School."

"How did you know that?" Motoki should not have had such in-depth communication with that girl. How did she know that the girl from Haibin High School acted like this?

"It's just intuition. That's about it. Women's intuition is very accurate. Hikigaya-sensei, don't underestimate women's intuition."

I don't want to have such a strange perception. Anyway, what you mean is that you two actually don't like each other, but because of the position, you have to talk and laugh, right? This is really a complicated interpersonal relationship. Today's high school students are growing so fast that they can almost be regarded as members of society!

I didn't continue to argue with Motoki about this issue. She and I quickly arrived at the student union's office. The situation in the office was similar to the previous few days. Several people were working very hard. It looked like the situation might be more serious than usual. When the other members of the Sobu High School student union saw Motoki's arrival, they just nodded and continued to work.

Huanian was also working hard. Looking at the photocopied documents in her hand, they should be the information of the candidate actors provided by the society and my script. She might be considering who would be the most suitable actor to appear in the stage play.

I handed the gifts to Niwa, who took them with a smile. He thanked me and apologized, saying that it would take some time to prepare the gifts for us.

I met people buying gifts on the road, and I had expected this to happen a long time ago.

"Mr. Hikigaya, is there anything else?" Niwa asked me politely.

Of course, there is nothing wrong, it's just that there is someone I care about here. I looked at Liumei, but just like yesterday, Liumei still looked like she didn't notice my gaze and kept working with her head down.

Is it still like this? I have no reason to stay in the Seaside High School Student Union, and Motoki's urging eyes are also telling me to go back quickly.

"It's nothing, just keep working hard."

"Okay, we will try our best. This event will definitely be a success!" After saying a few polite words to Niwa, I returned to my seat.

I have almost finished reading yesterday's materials. Now I have a rare free time. Although it doesn't matter if I leave during this period, it would be bad if something unexpected happens. So, after careful consideration, I decided to stay in the student union office. It's not that there is nothing to do. At least, I can still use my notebook to write my newly conceived novel.

Ever since I revised the settings, I don’t know where the embarrassment of my writer’s block has disappeared to. Also, I’ve read some novels with a similar style recently, so I’ve roughly figured out some tricks.

However, the matter of studying in the United States... I still care about it, and I have no way to contact him.

Now that I think about it, the only connection between me and studying in the United States is that insignificant agreement. If it suddenly becomes like this, I really don’t know how to solve it…

This feeling is really disgusting.

After that, I kept an eye on what was happening at Haibin High School while typing out my novel. Because it was the beginning of the story, and I had thought of the plot long ago, I wouldn't get stuck due to distraction. However, it did affect my typing speed.

"Well, that's about it for today." Niwa said there when it was almost over, and then the students of Kaihin High School stood up and greeted the students of Sobu High School.

Haibin High School has already started packing up. No, if I don't ask now, I will have to wait until next week. Thinking of this, I stood up anxiously and prepared to walk to Liumei and ask her why she didn't wait for me these two days.

I just stood up slightly, and Niwa seemed to notice my movement. He quickly walked to my side and bowed to me.

"Thank you for your hard work today, teacher. I am so sorry for your care all along."

"Don't worry about it. This is my duty as a teacher. You don't have to thank me so directly. Aren't you also working hard?" Because of my position, I had to respond to Niwa. But when Niwa was in front of me, Rumi had already packed up her things and walked out of the student union office alone.

It's still not too late to go out now. Even though my speed is not that good, I should still be able to catch up with those who are studying in the United States.

"Niwa-san, if you don't have anything else to do, go back early. Your home should be quite far from Sobu."

"Thank you for your concern, teacher. I will take a taxi back later. Today I have another thing I want to ask you about our performance props..."

Although I was anxious, I had no reason to push away this guy who came to consult me. Apart from Liumei, only the girl I met this afternoon left the Seaside High School. The rest of the girls stayed where they were, seemingly waiting for Niwa.

If you are so welcome, please leave as soon as possible. I have a lot of things to do.

I thought he would finish speaking quickly, but it seemed that things were not that simple. He seemed to have some purpose, and he kept talking about some seemingly trivial but actually critical issues. This strange behavior also made my Yawata radar react a little uncomfortably.

"Thank you, Mr. Hikigaya." Niwa thanked me after consulting me on the questions, and then he and the other members of the Seaside High School Student Council left the student union office.

Looking at the time, it seemed that there was no way that I could catch up with Liu Mei.

Did Niwa do this on purpose? I frowned as I thought about it, but he probably had no motive for doing this.

"Well then, President, Mr. Hikigaya, we will be heading back first."

"Ok."

While I was still thinking, it was time for several other students from the Sobu High School Student Union to go home. After saying hello to me and Motochūgō, they packed up and left.

"Why, are you concerned about that girl named Liumei?" After the rest of the student union members left, Ben Chugui looked at me with a sarcastic smile.

"Why do you know?"

"It's completely revealed, okay?" Motohatsu Kei said innocently, "I don't want to know either, but Mr. Hikigaya, haven't you always been looking at Seaside High School? The only person who has a relationship with you there is Rumi Tsurumi, right? With just such an easy inference, I can vaguely guess that something must have happened between you and that girl named Rumi Tsurumi..."

"Always? How do you know she has been keeping an eye on me?" I keenly noticed the loophole in Ben Chugui's words. She should have been working as well. How could she know that I had been observing Haibin High School?

"Of course I am. I have to make sure you are not slacking off."

"Hasn't my work already been completed? There is still some left, which is just the selection of actors for tomorrow's stage play."

"Really, really long-winded. For the student union president, of course he has to be in control of the situation at all times."

"She said something meaningless again..." She had no choice but to talk to Ben Chugui. This guy could come up with such a far-fetched reason. It seemed that she was not a good liar. It was the same before. She would be exposed from time to time.

"I was redirected, wasn't I? Shouldn't I be asking you, Mr. Hikigaya? Your recent strange state is because of that girl named Tsurumi Rumi, right?"

He was very aggressive and diverted the topic to a point that was disadvantageous to me. This person is really cunning.

"That's about it." I nodded. After all, with Ben Chugui's ability, she should have guessed the reason for my abnormality a long time ago. It would not be appropriate to continue denying it here. It would be better for me to admit it openly.

"That's exactly what happened!" Ben Chugui seemed very proud of her own reasoning and nodded with satisfaction: "So, what exactly happened?"

"It's a bit difficult to explain, and it also seems like I'm being too sentimental..."

"If you speak it out, the problem can be solved. Unlike you, Mr. Hikigaya, Rumi and I are both girls. If you speak it out, I may be able to roughly judge Rumi's psychology and thinking. This may be of some help to you, Mr. Hikigaya.

What you said makes sense. After all, Liumei and I have differences in status, age and gender. If we think about it alone, we may not be able to fully understand the meaning of Liumei's behavior. But if it were Ben Chugui, maybe I could understand Liumei.

I came to this conclusion in my mind, so I told Ben Chugui what had happened in the past two days.

"Sure enough, it seems like you are being too sentimental." After listening to my description, Ben Chu rolled his eyes at me.

"I am aware of this, you don't need to remind me again!" At the beginning, I said that it might be my own fault, so you don't need to emphasize it again!

"It's a very Hikigaya-sensei-style worry!"

What is my style in your mind?

"However, I don't quite understand why Tsurumi Rumi did this..." Motochūgui supported her chin with one hand and said after thinking.

"cut."

"You were looking down on me just now, weren't you? You provided so little information, who could have deduced this?" Ben Chugui said as he glared at me, and I just shrugged indifferently.

"However, although I don't know Tsurumi Rumi and I don't know what she's thinking, I know you, Mr. Hikigaya, very well. Tsurumi Rumi must have some reasons that she can't say. Mr. Hikigaya, don't be discouraged. As long as you climb up Mount Fuji and shout "I'm an idiot", then the problem can definitely be solved."

"I think I'm the fool for doing this. Where did you get this wrong perception?"

“Oh, is that wrong?”

"Why are you surprised? This is wrong!" I said helplessly.

Although it was of no practical help, Ben Chugui's words still made me feel at ease.

Is there a reason why he can't tell me? It seems that I need to investigate a little.

"Thank you."

"Disgusting!"

"How verbose!"

In the student union's office, the conversation between the strange teacher and the strange student is still going on...

Chapter 162 Hikigaya Hachiman is worried about Hua Nian Ai

"Xiaoqi, is the problem solved?" When I got home, Yuigahama was waiting for me at the entrance as usual. Seeing that I looked very disappointed, Yuigahama asked worriedly.

Yesterday, I didn't tell Yuigahama and the others about studying in the United States, so they probably don't know what I'm worried about. Such worries are understandable. They are probably afraid that I will hide important things and solve them by myself like before.

"It's not resolved yet."

"Is that so? You'd better not worry too much. It will be resolved later!" Yuigahama said and gave me a victory gesture.

"I understand..." Seeing Yuigahama's reaction, I had to force myself to respond to her.

During the meal, I was still worried about Rumi, so I barely spoke. Yuigahama looked at me worriedly from her seat, but Yukinoshita finished her dinner calmly as before, and I couldn't tell anything from her expression.

I hope Yukinoshita didn't do this on purpose. I always feel that she is a little too calm... After dinner, I didn't say much to Yukinoshita and Yuigahama because I was not in the mood. I just said a few words of thanks and went back to my room to start typing.

Since the next day was Saturday, I got up later than usual. When I got up, Yukinoshita and Yuigahama had already left the apartment.

There was still breakfast on the table, and underneath the breakfast was a note left by Yuigahama -

"Today is the day for an important business interview about the flower shop. I'm sorry that I can't wait for Xiaoqi to have breakfast! Breakfast is already prepared. If Xiaoqi gets up late, just heat it up in the microwave in the kitchen! Xiaoqi, have a good rest, but don't sleep too late! See you in the evening."

When writing notes, wouldn't you use emoticons like that? Well, I know it would be very difficult to write those emoticons just by hand.

Telling me to have a good rest and not to sleep too late is as contradictory as parents telling their children to spend time studying hard but not to overwork themselves.

I didn't get up very early, so I expected that my breakfast would be cold. However, I was once a man who aspired to be a househusband, so I still know how to use basic electrical appliances!
