Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

"But if Hikigaya-kun knew that it would be worse if he stayed up all night to make it, right?"

"So you're an idiot, and I just need to stop saying anything, right?"

"But your dark circles..."

"..."

Zhixiong Like was silent, but his ten fingers were still tapping the keyboard flexibly, and codes appeared quickly on the computer screen.

"Hey~ Isn't it just a game? Do you need to work so hard?"

Sato Hitoshi knew that he couldn't persuade her, so he turned around and prepared to go to the kitchen to get something to eat. Otherwise, her body must be tired after working for so long, and she would definitely need to eat something to replenish her energy due to overusing her brain.

He had thought about knocking Zhixiong Li Ke unconscious and putting her to sleep, but he had tried it once before and found that after he fell asleep, Zhixiong Li Ke was woken up by the robot and continued her unfinished work. When he came over the next day, she suffered a round of brutal treatment and gave up on physical sleep.

And now I can't convince him, so I can only stay by his side.

“This is more than just a game.”

After Sato Jin left, Shikuma Rika murmured this in a low voice.

Chapter 157: Totsuka Ayaka’s charm value skyrocketed?

"Ding-ling-ling~Ding-ling-ling~Ding-ling-ling..."

The school bell rang, and Hikigaya Hachiman picked up his school bag and walked out the door, wondering what time would be the best time to leave the Action Committee.

However, his thoughts were interrupted by a figure blocking his way. He looked up at Hayato Hayama, who had a complicated expression, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Do you know something?"

"Didn't she tell you?"

“…As expected~”

Hayato Hayama lowered his head, and the gentle and cheerful demeanor that had always seemed to exist instinctively disappeared. The low pressure slowly spread, making Hikigaya Hachiman instinctively feel a little bit tricky.

After all, the stinging gazes from all around made him want to escape from here.

"If there's anything I can help you with, just tell me..."

When he said this, Hayato Hayama, who had been lowering his head, raised his head, and his complex eyes reflected in Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes.

The smile on the boy's lips was very bitter, revealing a sense of sadness.

"Please, Hikigaya-kun."

"…Well, I'll find you if I need you."

"Thank you."

Hikigaya Hachiman nodded and walked around him.

Hayato Hayama looked at his back silently, his hands turning white from being clenched too tightly.

[I really envy you for being able to live like this, Hikigaya-kun~]

Afterwards, he suppressed his inner emotions, regained his amiable and gentle temperament, and walked in the opposite direction of Hikigaya Hachiman towards the football club.

"Hayato~"

Yumiko Miura stared blankly at the back of the boy she liked as he walked away.

She wanted to go forward to comfort the other person, but from the atmosphere emanating from that figure's back, she knew that the other person didn't need any comfort right now, so she could only watch him leave silently.

Ebina Hina stood beside her and wanted to say something, but knowing her friend's character, she couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth she had deduced.

"Hey~ Yumiko, let's go, didn't you say you were going to KTV today to beat me?"

Yuigahama Yui stepped forward and grabbed Miura Yumiko's shoulders. When the other person turned around, she showed a rare provocative smile, causing the latter to chuckle and shake her head.

"Yui, you are really not suitable for playing a villain."

"Hehehe ~ Because I'm not a bad person!"

"That's right, let's go, I will definitely beat you this time, Yui."

"Hehe~ I won't admit defeat either."

Chatting and laughing, the three girls set out on the road to the KTV.

------

"I'm done, I'm leaving now."

Hikigaya Hachiman used the power of light to hide his own existence, and after completing the work of [Miscellaneous Affairs], he handed it over to Yukinoshita Yukino, said a few words, and left.

"Hey~ Hikigaya-kun."

The girl's voice behind him made him stop.

"Sister, I will come over tomorrow."

"……Ok, I know."

"Do you think I will win?"

Hikigaya Hachiman's pupils suddenly dilated, and he resisted the urge to turn around, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and smiled with a hint of sarcasm, his tone teasing.

"Why, you admit defeat?"

This simple question caused Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes to shake violently, and with every shake, the decadence hidden in them diminished a little until it completely disappeared.

A confident smile gradually rose at the corners of his mouth.

"Lose? I will never admit defeat. Don't you know that clearly?"

"Yeah, bye then."

"See you!"

Yukinoshita Yukino kept watching the young man walking away with his back hunched. Only then did she notice that his back seemed to be a little more bent than before.

[You haven't admitted defeat yet, so I certainly can't just admit defeat so easily. This can also be considered our bet, right?]

[And, if I give up now...]

The girl stretched out her hand and grabbed the boy's receding back, but the moment her hand clenched, there was nothing in it.

[I am getting further and further away from you.]

She placed her hand over her heart.

[I don’t want that!]

Hikigaya Hachiman had no idea what the girl was thinking. His heart was beating wildly at the moment, and he could clearly feel the burning on his face. He even almost said the lines about social death again.

Just because an angel appeared in front of him.

"Eh? What a coincidence, Hachiman!"

Totsuka Ayaka seemed to have just finished the tennis club's activities. Her clothes were a little messy, and a little hot sweat slid down her rosy face, passed her fair neck with a slight sparkling effect under the light, and stayed on her deep collarbone.

With those blurry eyes and slightly heavy breathing, to be honest, Hikigaya Hachiman had a feeling he was going to have a nosebleed.

"Hmm... Hmm, what a coincidence, Totsuka..."

However, as a man who had experienced so many social deaths that he had developed a will of steel, Hikigaya Hachiman quickly shifted his focus, avoiding adding another layer of his dark history while also evading the end of his friendship with Totsuka Ayaka.

"Did you just finish club activities?"

"Well, where's Hachiman?"

[God, are you sure you didn’t add anything extra when you created humans? Otherwise, how could such a cute thing be a boy? What on earth is wrong here…]

Hikigaya Hachiman almost lost himself when Totsuka Ayaka tilted her head slightly and smiled sweetly, and once again he asked a soul-searching question to the god Toma in his heart.

I even thought that next time I saw Toma, I would ask Totsuka Ayaka what her gender was and whether she had turned him into...

[No, no, stop imagining that, Hikigaya Hachiman...]

He shook his brain at super high speed, threw the terrible thought out of his mind, and used the power of light to delete the inhuman thought just now.

"I just finished my work at the Action Committee and was about to go home. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

After saying that, without waiting for Totsuka Ayaka to answer, he simply bypassed the other party and prepared to speed up and leave here.

"Hey~ Wait a minute, I still have something to say to Hachiman..."

However, before he could put it into action, his sleeve was grabbed by Totsuka Ayaka. When he turned around subconsciously, he saw that pitiful face that aroused people's desire to protect her.

[Next time we meet, I will definitely ask clearly ahhhhhhh…]

"Gudong~ What's the matter?"

Hikigaya Hachiman swallowed hard several times, and finally suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and asked with some lingering fear.

[Come to think of it, why does Totsuka's charm seem to have increased a lot, or is it because I haven't seen this side of him before?]

[What should I do? I think I can see a lot of different Totsuka!]

[Huh? Could this be love? This is definitely love, right?]

Faced with the most beautiful scene he had never seen before, Hikigaya Hachiman only felt that his brain was suffering from a slight lack of oxygen due to the crazy beating of his heart, and he was unable to think normally and his thoughts became very confused.

Totsuka Ayaka told him not to leave, so she let go of his sleeve, scratched his delicate face with her right index finger, lowered her head slightly, and looked at him with her soft eyes slightly raised.

"Um~Are you free tomorrow? I want to go play with Hachiman."

"Play?"

[This is a date invitation, right? It’s definitely a date, right? What should I do? My heart is about to burst. What should I wear? What should the child…]

[Pfft, pfft, pfft~ What are you thinking about.]

"Yes, that's right. Didn't Hachiman and I go to the game room to play? I want to go again this time, is that okay?"

Facing the pitiful Totsuka Ayaka at the moment, Hikigaya Hachiman gave a thumbs up without thinking and said loudly: "No problem, it's settled."

"Great, I'll contact you tonight."

"Ok."

Next, in order to avoid accidentally confessing his feelings at the speed of light and being rejected at superluminal speed, Hachiman Hikigaya chatted briefly with Totsuka Ayaka and then ran away from her.

"I don't know what's been bothering you lately, Hachiman, but if we play a little like we did last time, you'll feel more relaxed, right?"

Totsuka Ayaka looked at the boy's back with a worried look on her face.

He had noticed a long time ago that something seemed to have happened to the other party, so that he always looked very tired, and his waist was much lower than before, as if his shoulders were carrying an invisible burden that bent them.

If he asked, he would definitely not get an answer based on his understanding of the other party after paying attention to him for a long time, so he could only relieve his fatigue in this way.

Chapter 158: The two people's implicit confession

"Hehehehe~"

Zhixiong Li Ke was humming an unknown cheerful tune while covering up her dark circles in the mirror based on the cosmetics knowledge she learned from her recent friends. However, it was her first time using cosmetics and she was still a little unfamiliar with it. She kept applying and wiping it off. Fortunately, she was naturally beautiful, otherwise her face would not be presentable if she continued like this.

"Yoshi~ That's it."

With her powerful brain and based on her previous failed experiences, she quickly worked out a suitable plan, which perfectly solved the awkwardness of using cosmetics for the first time and covered up her dark circles. She didn't cover them up completely because she knew her personality and that she would definitely have dark circles.

If I was discovered that I didn't have it, all my efforts would be in vain, so I deliberately left some dark circles under my eyes to look similar to usual ones.

"The seniors are coming, the seniors are coming, the seniors are coming!"

The set reminder sound just sounded. Zhixiong Li Ke looked at himself in the mirror several times. After making sure there were no flaws, he quickly ran back to the workbench, picked up an unfinished research project at random, and continued to supplement it according to the above ideas.

"still busy?"

As the footsteps approached, Hikigaya Hachiman's voice reached my ears.

Zhixiong Li Ke suppressed the urge to rush over and pretended to work seriously.

[As the saying goes, serious men are handsome, and similarly, serious women are beautiful.]

[My charm value has definitely increased a lot now. In addition, my seniors haven’t come to play with me for a long time, so the bonus brought by time will also increase my charm value.]

[Hehehe~ In the eyes of the seniors, science students must be fairies descending from the earth. They can’t wait to confess their feelings on the spot, right?]

[Should we take advantage of the situation and take down our senior at that time?]

[Wooo ...
