Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

The last to appear was Yukinoshita Haruno, who was defeated by a landslide caused by Sato Jin's explosive bomb attack on the ground. She was defeated again by using a flash bomb and a laser sword.

"So don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have extraordinary powers. The reason humans can have their current status is not just because of the favor of the gods, but more importantly, because of their own wisdom. Abandoning the wisdom summed up by our ancestors since ancient times and clinging to the power worshipped by beasts will only make you weaker."

With Hikigaya Hachiman's words as a summary, everyone except Sato Jin left the laboratory and went home. After all, they had to go to Kyoto for a school trip tomorrow. After seeing her sister leave, Yukinoshita Haruno naturally left as well. After all, they still had someplace to go.

Chapter 178: Hikigaya Hachiman is immersed in the charm of Totsuka Ayaka again

"Where are you going to play?"

"Hey~ Why did I draw the clown again?"

"Wow, the scenery outside is so beautiful."

"How long will it take to get there? I can't wait any longer, Kyoto~"

The second-year students of Sobu High School were discussing something in the train. Hikigaya Hachiman was a little confused by their anticipation for the upcoming journey.

It's not just because his current thinking has become more and more combat-oriented, but also because of the painful experience of being targeted or forgotten when participating in such large-scale class activities alone, which really makes him unable to have a good impression of this.

So in order to avoid listening to this meaningless sound, at the suggestion of Ayaka Totsuka next to him, he and the other person each put on an earphone and listened to the songs sung by a pop singer named Noah, who is said to be quite good.

Although he didn't sound much louder than the noise outside, he still remembered that he was a "personality" that could not refuse Totsuka Ayaka's request, so he pretended to listen to music, and when the other party asked, he relied on his hearing to pick out the problems in the song, and received admiring looks from the other party.

[Well, it seems that it is not bad to listen to music like this while Totsuka is looking at me like this.]

But this rare joy disappeared after Totsuka Ayaka fell asleep. He sat quietly in the chair with his eyes closed.

"Huh~ I'm exhausted."

Yuigahama Yui's tired voice came from the side.

After a tough battle, Hachiman Hikigaya deliberately tuned out the frequency of human speech and made it the primary listening target of his brain. So now he can hear sounds like a normal person, instead of having to filter and experience the delay like a person with a hard of hearing.

So, he opened his eyes and looked at Yuigahama Yui next to him, "What's wrong?"

"Because Kawasaki-san was sitting next to her, it was hard for Oto to talk to Himena. Plus, for some reason Himena was in a particularly high spirit today, which made Hayato-kun feel very embarrassed. I don't know why Yumiko didn't stop her, so ah..."

Yuigahama Yui whispered to Kigaya Hachiman about her miserable situation of being alone.

[And this is really a test from the Lord God. Why does it seem to be getting less and less reliable? But this cannot explain why Xiao Hu and the others must come to serve the Ministry.]

[Wow~ Thinking is not my forte, I'd better discuss it with Xiaoxue later.]

Yuigahama Yui was wondering whether this was a test or not, and did not notice that Hikigaya Hachiman frowned after hearing her words.

[Miura did not stop Ebina from speaking. As far as I remember, it was Ebina who pulled that classmate Kawa over, which means…]

Through the information in the conversation just now, Hikigaya Hachiman has already understood the attitudes of Ebina Hina and Miura Yumiko, and then he plans to confirm it and solve this commission as soon as possible so that Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui can focus on him.

"Hmm? What were you talking about in the Ministry of Revenue just now?"

Hikigaya Hachiman turned around and saw Totsuka Ayaka rubbing her sleepy eyes. When she noticed his gaze, her face blushed slightly and she lowered her head shyly.

"Don't stare at me like that, Hachiman..."

Grasping the hem of the sportswear with both hands, he lowered his head and looked up cautiously. For some reason, that angelic face made Hikigaya Hachiman's heart tremble violently.

[Oh no, if I keep watching, I will definitely confess my feelings, and then be rejected instantly. But Totsuka is so kind, he won’t reject me right away, right? Or maybe he will agree?]

"Xiaoqi, could you please not get so close to me? Xiaocai looks troubled~"

A sudden angry voice beside him and a pulling feeling on his back made Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly wake up. He found that he was now close to Totsuka Ayaka in a wall-dong position, and her slightly heavy breathing and shy eyes made his heart beat faster.

"Sorry, Totsuka."

Realizing what he was doing, Hikigaya Hachiman quickly stepped back, away from the even more tempting Totsuka Ayaka.

"No, it's okay."

"Hey~ Xiaoqi, you should also be careful..."

Yuigahama Yui, who was watching the interaction between the two from behind, sighed silently, leaned over to Hikigaya Hachiman's ear and whispered: "Xiao Cai is a boy~"

"I, I know."

[But sometimes I just can’t see Totsuka as a man. When will I see the god next time? I must ask Totsuka if I accidentally got his gender wrong. Otherwise…]

Hikigaya Hachiman blushed as he glanced at Totsuka Ayaka, who was scratching her cheek in confusion, and became more certain of a certain thought in his heart.

[Although I am very happy that you can return to the same state as before, Xiaoqi, what is this shy mode that is unique to Xiaocai? Doesn’t this mean that our femininity is weaker than Xiaocai’s?]

[Wow~ I feel really bad~]

Yuigahama Yui felt very tired seeing that the boy she liked had the same shy reaction to another boy as she did.

[Well, although it is undeniable that Xiao Cai is really cute, I have never seen or heard of Xiao Cai with his upper body naked. Is he really not a boy?]

At this point, the girl also began to doubt the boy's gender.

"Um~Are Hachiman and Yui-chan talking about Tobe's affairs?"

"Eh? Xiaocai knows that too?"

"Well, we heard Tobe talk about it when we were in Chiba Village during the summer vacation, right, Hachiman?"

"Yeah, that's right!"

[That's terrible. Why does it seem like Totsuka's charm has suddenly increased a lot since just now?]

Hikigaya Hachiman tried his best to look away and not make contact with the angel next to him.

[Well, it’s okay to be cute, right? Isn’t there a saying that cuteness is justice? So watching cuteness is watching justice, so it’s okay, right? It’s all cute anyway~]

The boy, who had barely found an excuse, once again turned his gaze to Totsuka Ayaka next to him, continuing to watch his charm that seemed to be gradually calming down, and felt his spirit, which had been increasingly tense due to being forced to act, begin to relax.

My increasingly dry soul was nourished, and I inexplicably felt like I was coming back to life.

"Yes, but it doesn't seem to be going smoothly. It feels like I don't know where to start."

"There's nothing we can do about it, right? As outsiders, we can only create a good atmosphere for the relationship, give them more opportunities to spend time together, or let Hubu show his handsome side or something like that."

Yuigahama Yui nodded hesitantly after hearing what Totsuka Ayaka said.

"Also, I think it's better not to be too obsessed with other things and forget about what's in front of you~"

"Eh~ what?"

"Look, Yui-chan has been giving people the impression that she's very busy these days, isn't she? Just like Hachiman."

"Well, there is something going on."

Yuigahama Yui scratched her cheek and realized for the first time that Totsuka Ayaka had such sharp observation skills.

"So, don't just help others and forget about your own affairs, otherwise you will end up pleasing neither side."

"Okay, I understand. It's time to go back over there. Bye, Xiao Cai, Xiao Qi."

"Bye, Yui-chan."

"Ah."

When Yuigahama Yui got up to leave, Kawasaki Saki happened to walk over with a tired look on her face, "What's wrong, Saki Saki?"

"I can't stand that atmosphere, so I came here to get some fresh air. And don't call me Shashishashi..."

"Eh? Isn't it possible?"

Kawasaki Saki looked helplessly at Yuigahama Yui who was blinking pitifully in front of her, and sighed deeply, "Ah~ It's up to you."

"Hehehe~"

After a brief chat, Yuigahama Yui returned to her seat and continued to act as an unqualified wingman.

"That~"

Because Totsuka Ayaka fell asleep again, Hikigaya Hachiman also closed his eyes, thinking about how to improve the fighting power of himself and Yukinoshita Yukino and others. Hearing a familiar voice coming from the side, he opened his eyes and looked at Kawa-something, whose face was slightly red. He found that when he looked over, he lowered his head again and was circling the index fingers of both hands.

"Are you calling me?"

"Well, that..."

Kawasaki Saki, who didn't know that her name was always forgotten by the other party, raised her head and looked at Hikigaya Hachiman shyly, "Would you like to try the rice balls I made?"

"Eh?"

His slightly confused expression made Saki Kawasaki even more embarrassed, but she seemed to have remembered something and mustered up her courage again.

"Look, I troubled you with Dazhi's matter before, and you told me about the scholarship, so I thought I should return the favor."

Noticing the increasingly puzzled gazes coming from the opposite side, the blush on Saki Kawasaki's face became more and more obvious, like a cooked crab.

"You seemed busy before, but now I'm thinking about the school trip..."

"No need. I repaid your favor last time when I asked about the location of the rooftop. If you hadn't told me the information, it would have been quite troublesome that day."

[Well, seeing how shy she is, she probably thinks it’s embarrassing to talk to someone like me.]

[This is understandable. After all, the rumors and the fact that I am disgusting make people feel disgusted. Making rice balls for me should be a social etiquette. In addition, he should take into account his friendship with Komachi. If she is too cold to me, it will make it difficult for him.]

[Well, after all, I am a complete brother-con. As someone who loves my sister, I can understand this.]

Hikigaya Hachiman felt that he already understood Kawamaki's concerns, so he spoke to her confidently, and even prepared an excuse for her so that she could have a good explanation to her brother.

However, it would have been fine if he didn't mention what happened during the cultural festival. But once he mentioned Saki Kawasaki, she remembered what the other party said before hanging up the phone, "I love you so much, Kawasaki." This instantly made her inner shyness reach the critical point, and her face turned so red that it made people wonder if she had changed into the skin of a certain martial saint.

"Um~Are you okay?"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at the girl in confusion, who was swaying as if she was drunk, and asked worriedly.

"No~ It's okay. Anyway, you have to accept the rice ball. I will give it to you when the time comes. Don't refuse."

"What the hell is going on?"

Hikigaya Hachiman blinked and said with some confusion at Kawasaki Saki who suddenly became tough and walked away.

Whether he understood it or not, the train soon arrived at its destination - Kyoto.

He carried his luggage bag and followed the group out. Without anyone else feeling the cold and shrinking his body, he walked directly onto the tour bus where the class was.

"Wow, the scenery outside is so beautiful."

The mountains in autumn were adorned with red leaves. The students who witnessed this scene exclaimed in admiration and discussed what good attractions there would be in Kiyomizu-dera Temple.

Hikigaya Hachiman was very grateful to Totsuka Ayaka who was beside him for not discussing the scenery outside with him, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to explain what those light waves looked like.

[Hmm? It seems like there is somewhere...]

"Hachiman, you're in great shape. You don't even feel cold."

Just when he realized something seemed to be wrong, he heard envious voices beside him.

"I think my body is weaker."

"It's nothing, it's just that it's good to exercise regularly."

"Would you like to come with me if you have time..."

Those slightly moist eyes were slightly raised, conveying a pitiful atmosphere, which made Hikigaya Hachiman swallow unconsciously and shift his gaze.

"Well, it's possible if you have time."

[Oh no! It’s really bad!]

[How can it be so cute? My heart feels like it's about to burst!]

Thanks to this, Hikigaya Hachiman arrived at the destination in a daze. He got off the car and took a group photo with Nioumon as the background. He chatted with Totsuka Ayaka and followed the class silently. Yuigahama Yui, who originally wanted to talk to him, saw his natural smile. Although she felt jealous in her heart, she did not go forward to disturb him. She pulled the confused Kawasaki Saki and rushed towards the direction of Tobe Sho and others.

"Hachiman, let's take a picture."

"Yeah, no problem."

Hikigaya Hachiman took the digital camera handed over by Totsuka Ayaka, and carefully adjusted the most perfect angle calculated by his brain through a field of view that was more accurate than that of the camera, so that the angel in the camera, the Shimizu stage behind him, the red mountains and the city center of Kyoto fit perfectly together, creating a beautiful photo that even PS could not achieve.

"How about it, I took a good picture, right?"

Like a child who has done a good deed and wants to be praised by his elders, he handed the digital camera to Totsuka Ayaka, who had just forced a smile, with a hearty smile on his face.

"Wow~ Hachiman, you took such a beautiful picture!"

“Hehehe~ It’s not bad!”

The boy, who finally received praise, raised his head proudly, with the curve of his mouth becoming more obvious.

"It turns out Xiaoqi can smile like this!"

"Is his orientation okay?"
