Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

With this kind of thinking pattern, Hikigaya Hachiman asked the following question.

"This is so annoying, Senior. We just chatted not long ago. Or is this a new way of chatting people up?"

Isshiki Iroha puffed up his cheeks, opened his big, bright eyes wide, and glared at Hikigaya Hachiman with dissatisfaction who still chose to ignore him.

"Besides, I just called you senior for so long and patted your shoulder a few times. Isn't it a bit too much for you to ignore me?"

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman paused, "Sorry, maybe I was too focused on my thoughts just now, so I didn't notice it."

Isshiki Iroha said he didn't believe this. How could someone be so focused on something that he wouldn't respond when someone patted his shoulder several times?

Therefore, the anger on her face, which showed some real emotions, still did not disappear.

"But I'm really sorry, my memory has never been very good, so may I ask who you are? What do you want from me?"

If the previous sentence still made Isshiki Iroha a little angry, this sentence now undoubtedly made her furious.

After all, as she has always been the center of attention and is confident in her own charm, she has never thought that her name would be forgotten by others.

For her, who has always been committed to maintaining her image as a cute school girl, this is undoubtedly a denial of her "efforts".

Moreover, as a girl, and a recognized beauty, she took the initiative to approach and chat with others, but was ignored and asked who it was. Anyone would be angry.

However, she suppressed her inner anger and said in a sweet but not greasy tone: "How annoying, Senior."

"I don't know if this is your pick-up technique, but I'll introduce myself again. My name is Isshiki Iroha, and I'm a first-year student."

"Well, what do you want from me?"

"?"

"Didn't I tell you before that I wanted to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude to you for saving me from the hands of a gangster? My parents specially blessed me for this and said that people should not be impolite, so please don't refuse."

"Of course, I also want to invite you to dinner and thank you in person."

Hikigaya Hachiman saw that the girl in front of him was suppressing her anger, and was also shy and had doubts, with doubts accounting for the majority of the feelings.

"No, I'm not used to eating with others, and my sister is waiting for me to come home. My parents are still at work, so I'm leaving now."

He did not specify how old the younger sister was, and emphasized that there were no adults at home, creating the virtual impression that the younger sister was young and alone at home, and that the brother was worried about her.

"Is that so? Then tomorrow, no, after the school trip, should I make you a lunch box?"

Isshiki Iroha understood Hikigaya Hachiman's concerns and quickly came up with a reason that he could no longer refuse.

"Okay, I'll leave first if I'm fine."

"…Bye, senior."

The sweet smile on Isshiki Iroha's face disappeared after he watched Hikigaya Hachiman leave.

"Why do I feel that Senior looks very strange? He gives me the feeling of a cold machine, which is very different from the feeling before."

She held her chin with her right hand. "I could clearly detect some of his emotional fluctuations before, but now I can't feel anything at all. So he is indeed a superpower like me?"

He raised his head and through his enhanced vision, he gazed deeply at the figure who was walking with a hunched back.

"As expected, others pay little attention to him, and there is a special fluctuation on his body. It really makes people more and more curious, Hikigaya Hachiman-senpai."

As she spoke, she withdrew her gaze, picked up her phone and looked at the contents on the screen.

"If people with super powers use their abilities too much, they will attract monsters to kill them, and it will also affect their family members?"

She narrowed her eyes. "I feel like what he said is true. That means the initiator of this forum knows something. Should I ask him for details?"

Isshiki Iroha recalled the fragment that had appeared in his mind and his brows unconsciously frowned.

"Hey~ Can I talk to you, Isshiki-san?"

Just as she was thinking, a cold voice with a bad taste came. She raised her head and looked at the tall senior girl with a ponytail in front of her in confusion.

"Excuse me, what can I do for you, Senior?"

[Let’s talk about your own safety.]

The voice that suddenly popped up in his mind made Isshiki Iroha's pupils shrink. He immediately realized that the other party was a person with super powers like himself. At the same time, his trust in that unknown forum increased a lot, otherwise the other party would not have mentioned the issue of safety.

"Okay, what's your name, senior?"

"My name is Saki Kawasaki. If it's convenient, let's go to a nearby family restaurant."

"Yes, no problem, Kawasaki-senpai."

"Let's go then."

After saying this, Saki Kawasaki turned around and walked forward.

[I didn’t expect to see a person with super powers in school. I was also very concerned about the content of her conversation with Hikigaya just now. Her expression seemed to reveal something…]

For some undisclosed reasons, Saki Kawasaki began to pay more attention to Hachiman Hikigaya, and discovered that he was not in harmony with others. From this, she learned that the other party was Kamen Rider Kuuga who once saved her.

Therefore, she promised not to overuse her superpowers, and would give warnings if she met similar people on the road. As for whether the other party would take it seriously, she could not guarantee it. She did this out of the kindness in her heart.

So after discovering that Hikigaya Hachiman was chatting with Isshiki Iroha and sensing the same kind of aura from the other person, he went over to start a conversation.

Of course, what was more important was the meaningful look the other party gave Hikigaya Hachiman. Her intuition told her that the other party had made some major discovery, so he suggested going to a family restaurant to talk instead of just leaving like he did before.

"You're interfering again!"

Touma turned around and looked at Kawada Shinichi who appeared. He was not surprised at all. "I just want to change Hachiman's personality. According to your plan, now is a good time. It can also increase the success rate of your plan, right?"

Kawada Shinichi shrugged and said, "Okay, I admit that you are right. Although I was going to do this anyway, I would have done it directly if you still hesitated."

"Can you tell me why you chose to intervene?"

"I want to make Hachiman feel better, that's all."

"Okay, I understand."

Kawada Shinichi smiled and shook his head, "As expected, the feeling of being favored is really enviable!"

Touma didn't respond to his teasing, and he left without expecting an answer.

"Gami-san, what are you doing standing here?"

Sato Jin, who had just opened the car door and was about to get in, asked doubtfully to Sakaki Gami, who was staring blankly at the key on the other side.

"Hey~ Ren, do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing for people to change?"

Hearing this question, Sato Jin frowned, glanced at Sakaki Gami opposite him, and then said: "It depends on whether the changes made will have more benefits or disadvantages for his future development as a whole."

"After all, everyone is unique. It is wrong to persuade others without having experienced their own experiences and ignore their wishes."

"So, when asking others to make changes, I think it is best to first judge the pros and cons of the change. If you think there are more benefits, then persuade them and give them the right to choose."

Sato Jin looked at Sakaki Gami who was thinking with a serious face, "It is definitely not feasible to ignore the wishes of others and force others to change according to your wishes under the moral banner of "I am doing this for your own good."

"Because everyone has their own ideas, otherwise there would be no need for us to communicate, right?"

After he finished speaking, he smiled and scratched the back of his head. "Maybe I didn't express myself clearly, but I think before asking others to make changes according to your wishes, it is best to communicate well and give the choice to them in the end."

The smile faded, and he said in a serious tone: "Otherwise, wouldn't the other party become a puppet without self-awareness, living only according to your will?"

As these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very heavy.

Chapter 174: Zaimokuza Yoshiteru's novel

"Even if the road ahead is a dead end that is destined to lead to destruction, are you going to watch him die?"

Sato Jin heard the reluctance from the other side.

"Hey~ Sakaki-san, do you know? Sometimes, even if we know there is only a dead end ahead, we will still rush forward to die. Even if we still have a lot of attachment to life, we can only rush forward for the belief in our hearts."

"It is precisely because we still have feelings for each other that we can sometimes create small miracles. After all, we all know that there are people waiting for us to go back and reunite with them, and we are also worried about what will happen to those people who are waiting for us to go back and hear that we are gone. So we will try our best to grasp that small miracle that we don't know if it exists."

Sato Jin smiled gently, "Humans are actually such stupid creatures."

"We can go against the world for a reason that may seem silly to others, even if we know that we will die."

"You can also sacrifice your life to save the life of a complete stranger for ridiculous reasons based on other people's values."

"You can also sacrifice everything you have for revenge, just to find redemption in your heart."

He leaned against the car door, staring at it quietly. "Sometimes, even if we know clearly that the road ahead is the wrong one, and the ending is bound to be destruction or will implicate innocent people, we still have reasons to step into the abyss."

"It is precisely because human beings are so complex and contradictory that good people seem so dazzling but weak, and bad people seem so powerful but pitiful."

"Of course, I'm talking about humans. Don't count those monsters in human skin. Otherwise, I'd feel insulted."

"So, I think it's useless to think so much. Everyone is a selfish creature. They only focus on things that are [beneficial] to themselves. Unless they have spare time and energy, they will not care about anything else."

"Instead of restricting them everywhere, why not let them go and let them do what they want, my wife? I just need to guide them slowly and make sure they don't go too far wrong, right?"

"After all, sometimes people won't turn back even if they hit a wall. Only when the brain is free of that obsession will they let it go completely."

"Yeah, maybe you're right, Ren."

Hearing this, the curve of Sato Jin's mouth did not even have time to rise before it was suppressed by the next sentence.

"However, even gods cannot guarantee that they can pull others back in time before they face destruction, so I think that even if they are puppets, at least they can still live and awaken their own will, and have the opportunity to make new choices."

"But once you die, there really is nothing left. Isn't that even more tragic?"

Hearing this, Sato Jin lowered his head, looked directly into the other's paranoid eyes, and smiled.

"Yes, at least we have the opportunity to choose again. In fact, no matter how much we say, it is useless. Everyone thinks and looks at problems differently. Even if you have all the experiences of that person, the difference in experience cannot produce the same resonance."

"So, who is right and who is wrong will only be known in the end, right?"

"Yeah, you're right, Ren."

"Glad I could help you, Sakaki-san!"

"Yo~ My dear friend, Hachiman~"

Hikigaya Hachiman stopped and looked quietly at the traffic jam in front of him. He was looking quietly with his hands folded in front of his chest. He could vaguely see something like paper in his hands. A breeze gently blew the dark brown windbreaker slightly. He turned around with joy, uneasiness and sadness.

“Do you have time to help me take a look at my latest work?”

When his eyes were completely fixed on her, he saw that the other person's uneasiness and sadness completely swallowed up his joy and added a hint of desire.

He had no interest in asking these questions, but of course he still had to read the novel, because the other party was a "friend" and a "comrade-in-arms" who had fought together in this painful campus, so his remaining consciousness could not ignore the other party's existence.

"No problem, I'll take a look Zaimokuza."

He took the paper handed over by Zaimokuza Yoshiki with a smile, "But I hope it will really be a masterpiece this time."

"Don't worry, it's definitely my soul's work."

Zaimokuza Yoshiki's words were very solemn, and then he smiled and touched his nose, "Okay, I'm going to go and seek revenge on those two juniors. I've practiced hard for a long time this time for the game I lost last time, and I'm sure I can beat them."

"Well, come on."

"Bye, Hachiman."

Hikigaya Hachiman nodded and walked right past Zaimokuza Yoshiteru, leaving as the latter waved goodbye.

"You must read it, Hachiman."

After staring at his friend until he completely disappeared, Zaimokuza Yoshiki put down his hands, patted his cheeks vigorously with both hands, and after adjusting his expression, he continued to walk towards his destination with that full of chuunibyou attitude.

"Yo~ I'm here for revenge."

He pushed open the door and walked into the game club, which no longer had boxes piled up and was overall much better than the first time he came here with Hikigaya Hachiman. He spoke to the two people who were slumped at the table behind the screen, exuding a fairy-like aura.

"Zaimokuza, where's my juice?"

"And my Max coffee."

Seeing that the two men looked like mummies, Zaimokuza Yoshiki stopped his poor acting and placed the drinks he had just bought in front of them.

When the two people saw the drinks, their eyes lit up, just like a patient who had been forced to eat vegetarian food for several months and saw a plate full of fried chicken skewers. They turned into hungry wolves, snatched their favorite drinks, and finished them in a few gulps.

"Ha~ You're back to life. Have you shown your new work to Hikigaya-senpai?"

"Yes, you have taken up so much of our time, so you must be appreciated, right?"

Sagami and Hatano had witnessed in the game club together with Hikigaya Hachiman how the opponent fought against a larger number of enemies, and how he held his ground even though he was wearing light clothing, and did not succumb to desire like the three of them. He was a member of the club whose true manliness made them admire him very much.

Therefore, for Zaimokuza Yoshiki, whom they did not have much respect for, they were still curious about what kind of evaluation they would get after handing over the novel that they had revised countless times to him and observing it.
