Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

"Right, there are rumors in the class and throughout the grade that Yui and Hikigaya-kun are dating?"

"That's true."

"We need to debunk this rumor before he finds out, or at least make everyone doubt its authenticity. Otherwise, Yui won't have a chance at all."

Miura Yumiko frowned and asked in distress: "Then what should we do?"

“…I’m still thinking about it.”

"..."

"Ahahahaha~ There's nothing we can do about it. It's really hard to come up with a solution that can solve the problem quickly without letting Hikigaya-kun know."

"Well, let's think about it together."

"Well, let's work hard together, Yumiko!"

Hikigaya Hachiman, who heard the conversation between the two, glanced at them with a complicated expression, "It seems that Yuigahama is ready to confess, but I don't have the mood to fall in love right now, and I also..."

"I'm not qualified~"

Chapter 139: The boy's inferiority complex and strange rumors spread

"Dingle bell~Dingle bell~Dingle bell~"

The school bell rang throughout the campus. After the teacher said "get out of class dismissed", the students of Sobu High School discussed their favorite topics with their familiar classmates and walked towards each other's destinations.

Hikigaya Hachiman, carrying his school bag and hunched over as usual, walked towards the meeting room of the Cultural Festival Committee. Before leaving, he glanced at Yuigahama Yui who had returned to the classroom after the third period.

At this time, the girl was standing in front as usual, with a smile on her face like a child, dancing with her hands and saying something to Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina behind her.

[I hope your choice is the right one, Yuigahama.]

He recalled the pleading look in the girl's eyes when she came to him not long ago and asked about something that had already been known for a long time.

He was not opposed to confessing his identity, but he didn't say anything because he didn't want Komachi to worry.

Yuigahama Yui's superpowers have been discovered by Miura Yumiko, and Umina Hime has also discovered some clues. If they continue to hide it, it will only destroy the relationship between the three of them, so it is better to confess and maintain this friendship.

He had previously told Yukinoshita Yukino that hiding his identity was to protect himself and the people around him, and to avoid exposing his existence and affecting his daily life.

After all, he didn't know Agito's identity at that time. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to reveal his true identity rashly?

Therefore, he doesn't care about Yuigahama Yui revealing her identity now, even if it will expose his identity.

Not to mention Gurongi's random killings, just the existence of angels is to find the awakening power of light. Killing them before they can transform into Agito, there is actually not much benefit in hiding their identities.

As for the worry that the relevant departments will come and slice you up?

Hikigaya Hachiman said that even without Touma's restraint, his power of light could easily handle everything. He could arrange the invading personnel clearly and would never find any abnormalities.

Based on the above, he agreed to Yuigahama Yui's request without much hesitation. The girl's dazed look still made him feel amused even now when he thought about it.

[As long as the friendship is strong enough, emotions will be able to pull you back to some extent.]

Hikigaya Hachiman already has a certain degree of understanding of what kind of person Miura Yumiko is, and he knows very well how much she values ​​her friends. As for Ebina Hina on the other side, although he can't see through her very well, it's not a bad thing to be able to gain her trust.

Moreover, as a rational monster, he had of course made some preparations. He greatly enhanced Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina's ability to accept emergencies.

In this way, even if a good friend suddenly turns into a scary monster in front of you, your psychological endurance will be more or less enhanced, and you will be able to accept this horrifying reality.

As for why he didn't consider the possibility of failure?

It's very simple. When they were eating their bento today, he made both Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina have a "dream", so he can be said to be quite relieved.

Of course, everything he did was done without telling Yuigahama Yui. Afterwards, he cleared the two people's memories of that "dream", and it would not affect the friendship between the three of them.

[If they knew I was Kuuga, would their opinion of me change a little? At least they wouldn't think I was disgusting anymore, right?]

The boy knew his own business and didn't dare to ask for too much. He just hoped that the girls wouldn't find him disgusting, even if there were just two more people.

"Senior~"

Hikigaya Hachiman, who was fantasizing about a bright future, suddenly shuddered, because the voice that came into his ears was too sweet, and he was not used to it because he had only heard it on TV.

He turned his gaze towards the source of the sound and immediately saw the schoolgirl named Isshiki Iroha. Then he skillfully retracted his gaze and walked forward.

[Really? Are all girls nowadays speaking in such a disgusting tone? But I really envy the person she is calling out to. I also want to have a schoolmate who calls me out like that.]

Hikigaya Hachiman, who had inferiority engraved in his soul, did not feel that the other party was calling him. He would never make that extremely embarrassing incident in midsummer happen again.

Otherwise, unlike that day when there were only five or six people in the slightly remote window seat, now there are a dozen students in this corridor who are attracted by the sweet voice of the girl, which will make the situation extremely embarrassing and lead to social death on the spot.

However, his act of turning around and leaving was obviously seen by Isshiki Iroha as a disregard for her. It can be said that for her, who defines herself as a "beautiful girl loved by everyone", this was undoubtedly a shame.

[Damn it~ If you hadn’t saved me before and I hadn’t thanked you properly, I wouldn’t have paid any attention to you, a disgusting looking guy!]

Isshiki Iroha's brows twitched slightly, and she became even more unhappy after she noticed that several girls in her class were laughing secretly.

However, in order to maintain her image as a "cute schoolgirl who is humble and reasonable to others and smart in doing things", she did not express her inner dissatisfaction, puffed up her cheeks and chased after him, "Hikigaya-senpai, wait for me~"

[Huh? Is there anyone else in our school with the same last name as me?]

Just as this question emerged in his mind, a cute face with a pouting mouth and angrily glaring at him appeared in front of him, "Senior, didn't you hear me calling you?"

This was already too close for him, so he subconsciously took a few steps back and said with a slightly red face: "What's the matter?"

"Ok?"

Isshiki Iroha blinked, his eyes moved downwards for a moment, and then turned back to Hikigaya Hachiman's face. Even though it disappeared quickly, he still caught sight of the smug smile.

[I always feel that this girl is troublesome~]

"No, wasn't I saved from a gangster by my senior once before?"

"Haven't you already thanked me for this?"

"How can I express my gratitude like that? At least you should treat me to a meal. After all, I don't know what would have happened to me without my help~"

As she said this, she raised her head slightly, and her bright big eyes were filled with tears, which shone with a lovely light under the reflection of the light.

Then, Hikigaya Hachiman, who had zero experience with girls, felt like he was shot in the heart and turned away with a slightly red face.

"Then just buy me a loaf of bread."

"Eh? How can that be possible? Isn't that too rude?"

Isshiki Iroha covered his pink lips with both hands, took two steps back as if he was hit, blinked his big eyes that seemed like they would shed tears at any time, and said with a nasal tone, "Senior, do you hate me? So you don't want to talk to me?"

[I asked, what is the premise for you to draw this conclusion? Do I have the right to hate others when I look at my appearance?]

"Okay, you can make an appointment then. I have to go to the cultural festival now, so I'll leave first."

After Hikigaya Hachiman finished speaking, he was about to leave when he was stopped by a cell phone. Looking down at the girl's smiling face, he sighed helplessly, took out his cell phone from his pocket and exchanged Line accounts with her.

"Then I'll contact you then, Senior."

After getting the contact information, Isshiki Iroha smiled, waved to Hikigaya Hachiman, and turned away.

After the boy was finally "freed", he took a deep breath and felt his body returning to normal. He left under the strange gazes of others.

"Huh~ I thought my charm had dropped, but it turns out it's just because the other person is shy."

On the other side, Isshiki Iroha, who got the contact information, skipped towards the direction of the soccer club with a proud smile on his face, "Well~ there's nothing I can do about it. After all, I'm cute, right?"

"Hey~ Have you heard? It seems that the second-year student Yumiko-san is dating Tobe-senpai."

"Hey~ But doesn't Yumiko-san like Hayama-senpai?"

Suddenly, a sentence that made Isshiki Iroha very concerned entered her ears.

"It's genuine, okay? The witness was Yumiko-san's secret admirer. He swore that he saw the two of them on a date during the holidays, talking and laughing on the way. Afterwards, he seemed to have turned gray. How could it be fake?"

"That is indeed true."

"Not only that, I heard that Senior Chang Cheng Hui and Senior Long Yuan from the Student Council are also dating, and they were also spotted on holidays."

"Hey~ Tell me what's going on in detail."

Soon after, Isshiki Iroha heard that several girls who were popular among the boys at Sobu High School seemed to have been seen dating, and there were even a few Mr. Gray among them.

Of course, she also heard her own name, which made her stamp her feet in anger, "Damn it~ Who is spreading rumors!"

Chapter 140: Ebina Hime's Method

On the rooftop of Sobu High School, Yuigahama Yui was looking at her two friends who looked frightened with a somewhat nervous mood.

Well, he was looking at it with Gills's fiery red compound eyes.

"Huh~ So now you're going to be a Kamen Rider too?"

Miura Yumiko, who had faced Zi Meibio Da with her own eyes and was nearly killed, was the first to recover from her shock. After a little thought, she understood why she had been desperately trying to find topics to talk about before her friend came.

So, she used the word Kamen Rider to make the other person feel at ease.

"Hehehe~ You can't say that. I'm still too young right now."

"..."

The air suddenly became extremely cold at this moment. Miura Yumiko felt as if a cold poisonous snake was slowly climbing up from her spine. The strange feeling made her shudder.

Unconsciously, he rubbed his shoulders with his hands, and before Yuigahama Yui could get over her low mood, he started to complain: "Hey~ Yui, can you please stop doing girly actions like this? It looks scary~"

"Eh?"

Seeing the other party tilting his head in confusion as usual, Miura Yumiko shuddered and felt even colder as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Hey, Yui, take a look for yourself!"

Hina Ebina, who finally came to her senses, took out a mirror from her pocket and handed it to Yuigahama Yui, allowing her to see the weirdo with a wild and handsome style making a confused expression like a girl tilting her head.

"..."

Well, after seeing this scene, she, the instigator, trembled uncomfortably, and at the same time she understood what Miura Yumiko meant.

The wild style weirdo is maliciously acting cute, it's really scary, very frightening!!!

In order to avoid disgusting people again, Yuigahama Yui restored her original appearance and placed her right hand on the back of her head, "Hehehe~ Sorry, I didn't know the lethality would be so great."

"Since you've become like this now, Yui, can I assume that Kuuga is Hikigaya-kun?"

What Ebina Hina said did not surprise Yuigahama Yui. In terms of brains, she was indeed the most outstanding among the three, so she nodded without denying it.

"So, can you explain, I'm also interested in the other world and stuff."

The friend's expression obviously became much more serious, which was the expression she would show when she was talking about serious matters, so Yuigahama Yui began to tell everything she knew.

As for whether the other party accepted her inhuman attitude?

Sometimes, between good friends, just one or two words can actually say a lot. If you insist on getting to the bottom of it, it may seem hurtful.

Under Yuigahama Yui's vivid, story-telling explanation, Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina also experienced the feeling of their worldview collapsing and how reconstruction was extremely difficult and slow.

Anyway, as a young generation that believes in science, to be honest, they don't really have much sense of the reality of gods. Their identities determine the formation of their worldview, and there are no witch shrines around them, so it is indeed a bit difficult for them to accept these things.

Yuigahama Yui, who knew all this, did not interrupt her friends who were organizing their thoughts. She stood quietly aside thinking about her evening training and how she should buy a motorcycle as a means of transportation.

As for why it was a motorcycle, of course it was because after seeing Hachiman Hikigaya's Hunter, Jin Sato's Tracker, and Yukinoshita Yukino's Mechanical Tornado, she came up with the idea that all Kamen Riders ride motorcycles.

Moreover, for roads that are often congested, driving a small and fast motorcycle is indeed the most reasonable choice.

"Phew~ Well, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have really thought that you, Yui, had stayed up too late and your mind was in a mess."

After a long time, Miura Yumiko's complicated tone broke the silence.

"That's right, a god, and a creator god at that, is really hard to imagine!"

After sighing, Hina Ebina suddenly rushed forward to help Yuigahama Yui in front of her.

"Eh~ What? What's wrong with you, Hime?"

"If you really can't help it, remember to talk to us. Although we can't help you, at least it can make you feel better."

Just a short sentence, but it contains deep friendship.

"Yeah, Yui is a fool after all!"

Miura Yumiko's joking tone made Yuigahama Yui feel a little sour, but she held back the tears that were about to burst out and nodded heavily.

"Yes, I will. Don't find me annoying when the time comes."

"If I found you annoying, I would have cut off my friendship with you a long time ago. Do you think anyone can tolerate a little bird chirping in their ear?"

"Hey~ Yumiko, what you said is really too much..."
