Hikigaya Hachiman is Kuuga?

"Hehehe~ I think Yumiko is right. Yui is indeed very talkative."

"Really? Even Himena is the same."

After that, the three of them chatted for a while, and Miura Yumiko and Ebina Hina left first on the grounds that they would not interfere with Yuigahama Yui.

“Hehehe~ That’s great, Yumiko and Hime don’t hate me…”

The girl, who was left alone on the rooftop, suddenly felt as if her legs had lost strength and she collapsed to the ground. Drops of tears finally broke free from her eyes and slowly dripped onto the ground like crystal pearls.

“It’s really great~”

------

"Hina~"

"Ok?"

"We need to pay more attention to Kuuga's affairs."

"no problem."

The brief exchange revealed the two girls' future plans for their time.

"By the way, what are the results of your method now?"

Miura Yumiko just remembered that just before Yuigahama Yui came back, her good friend next to her finally thought of a way to resolve the rumors about Hikigaya Hachiman.

That is, through their respective circles, they spread rumors that some slightly famous girls in Sobu High School were dating some boys, and the frequency could not be too high, and they would be spread every once in a while.

As for authenticity or something, for a group of girls who just want to discuss gossip, they really don't need the so-called authenticity. That would affect the various weird ideas they have come up with from watching movies and TV shows. Without their own guesses and imaginations, they are soulless, right?

Therefore, in the campus forums and their respective circles, the two of them wrote language traps to create all kinds of speculation-inducing content and easily spread all kinds of rumors throughout the campus.

"It's working great now. We can now create some text traps to lead people to understand this as spreading rumors, and then just mention that Yui is still single."

"Next, if we find out that the rumors are all false, coupled with the backlash from the anger of the parties involved, it will be easy to resolve Yui's crisis this time."

Ebina Hina pushed the glasses on her nose, and the light representing wisdom enveloped the lenses.

"So that's how it is. No wonder you said you only wanted famous girls. So that's why you wanted this!"

If Yumiko Miura were in other people's shoes, she would have been furious if someone had spread rumors about her like this. She would have tried her best to find the culprit and give him a severe lesson. Otherwise, how could she get rid of the anger in her heart?

"That's right, so Yumiko, you have to act like you're furious, otherwise you won't be able to take the lead~"

"Hey~ Hime, why do I suddenly find you a little scary?"

"That's your illusion~"

“But Yui didn’t…”

"Don't be afraid. Didn't Yui stay up late to speak well of Kuga on the forum before? If we turn this into a negative situation where she was slandered by rumors but couldn't fight back because of her nice personality, wouldn't that be a perfect explanation for everything?"

"..."

Hina Ebina was frightened by Miura Yumiko's direct gaze. She opened her mouth to say something but didn't know how to start.

"Hey~ Hime, are you so smart?"

"Ah?"

"Then I'll leave any trouble to you. You won't refuse to help your friends, right?"

Facing her good friend who was winking and laughing at her, Ebina Hina was stunned for a moment, then she closed her eyes and turned her back, "Of course!"

------

Hikigaya Hachiman felt that all the malicious gazes around him had disappeared. He raised his head with some confusion, broke free from his thoughts, captured the key words through his inhuman hearing, opened his mobile phone and entered the school forum. After browsing it, his expression was very complicated.

[So, what is that unknown existence doing?]

[Just to disgust me? Or is there some terrible trick waiting for me?]

Being quite intelligent, he combined the information he had just browsed with the text trap that seemed a little immature in the eyes of the master of sophistry, and easily deduced who designed this rumor about his previous relationship with Yuigahama Yui that was ignored by everyone.

But it was precisely because of this that he was wondering why the unknown existence, who was not sure who was stronger than Touma, chose Sagami Minami to create such a "farce".

Perhaps he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried, the other party had already given up on Sagami Minami and was using another way to plot against him.

Chapter 141: The Second Test is About to Begin

"I regret it~"

Hikigaya Hachiman sat alone, muttering to himself.

"Why did I refuse?"

He raised his head and looked at the podium above, where Hina Ebina was covering her nose with a slightly red handkerchief, exuding a terrifying aura, and opposite her stood Hayato Hayama with a bitter face, and next to her stood Ayaka Totsuka who needed his rescue, with a troubled and aggrieved look on her face. He loudly introduced the scenes that fujoshi loved about the plot, and made a rather regretful sound.

"If I had known that Totsuka was the protagonist, I would have accepted social death. After all, that's the angel-like Totsuka~"

When he thought of this, he wished he had the ability to travel through time and space, go back to yesterday's timeline, and beat himself up for rejecting Ebina Hina. The pain he felt now was even greater than if he had missed out on 100 million.

As for what made him regret so much, it all started when the class held a meeting yesterday to discuss what program to perform for the cultural festival. Ebina Hina relied on her powerful mobility and terrifying momentum to decide to perform the masterpiece "The Little Prince".

However, although her scripts seem to be very powerful, they give people a strong sense of homosexuality, which, combined with her rotten girl character, makes many boys refuse to perform.

But in the end, somehow she found Hayato Hayama and Ayaka Totsuka to perform, and the former was the real last one, the latter was the third to last, and he was also the second to last.

So, he is regretting it so much now, regretting it to death!

"Xiao Qi, what are you mumbling about here alone?"

Yuigahama Yui's voice came from the side.

"No, I'm just thinking about how to arrange your training tonight."

He turned to the pale-faced girl and frowned, "Do you want to take a rest? You look very tired."

"No, I'm just not used to it mentally. I just need to practice a few more times."

Yuigahama Yui quickly shook her head to refuse, "Plus, I still have forum matters to deal with..."

"Don't worry about that forum. I don't mind how others view me. Besides, people only want to see what they want to see. It's useless to say more. It's simply..."

"You don't mind, I do!"

The girl's sudden increase in voice startled Hikigaya Hachiman for a moment, but fortunately he had been using the power of light to influence the perception of the people around him, so he was not stared at.

He raised his head and looked into the girl's eyes that were glistening with tears. He felt a warm spring water flowing slowly from his heart to his limbs, nourishing his body that was already scarred by the battle, and warming his soul.

"Okay, I won't stop you, but remember not to overwork yourself, okay, my fan club president."

The sudden softening of the tone made Yuigahama Yui, who had prepared a lot of words, tremble in her heart, and she stammered in "refutation": "Who~who is the president of your fan club? It's obviously... Xiaoqi."

"I, I went to Yumiko's place."

The shy girl turned around and ran away, causing Hikigaya Hachiman to smile helplessly. He stood up and left his seat, walking towards the office of the Cultural Festival Action Committee. Before leaving, he glanced at Sagami Minami, who was sitting in his seat, laughing and joking with his friends, with no intention of leaving at all.

“Yui~ has returned to her soul…”

"Ah... Sorry, Yumiko, what did you just say?"

"Hey, let Himena and I handle the Kuuga Forum. You should focus on training, or your body won't be able to take it sooner or later."

Faced with her friend's worried words, she opened her mouth and prepared to speak out the words she had prepared long ago.

"Or do you not trust Himena and me, or because the opponent is Hikigaya Hachiman, so you don't want to let go and hand it over to us?"

However, Miura Yumiko's words were too real, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond, especially the last sentence, which made her subconsciously deny it.

"Yu~Yumiko, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all..."

"Your thoughts can't be hidden from me and Hime, so you better work hard. Hime and I will handle this. Besides, arguing with others is not your strong point, right?"

"But……"

"If you say that again, you're not considering Himena and I as friends anymore~"

Miura Yumiko's eyes were filled with a resolute will, and the voice in her ears was so firm, and the combination of these two made Yuigahama Yui realize that she could not refuse.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, Yumiko."

"Don't worry, I will do my best. Besides, don't we have a powerful partner?"

"You mean the one called Nkulu?"

"Yeah, you know how amazing his fighting ability is. He alone can beat those people who slandered Kuuga to a pulp, so you don't have to worry about him as long as he's around."

After hearing her friend's words, Yuigahama Yui also remembered her comrade named "Nkuru" who had always supported her since the establishment of the forum, and her heart calmed down.

After all, as Yumiko Miura said, under the opponent's extraordinary venomous tongue, there is really no need for the help of a weakling like her who can only cry and reason with the opponent when she is angry.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

"Just leave it to us and rest assured!"

------

When Hikigaya Hachiman walked to the office, he found that the door was full of people, all looking inside quietly. With his superhuman hearing, he understood what was going on and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

With the help of the power of light, the people blocking the door subconsciously made way and walked in easily, looking at the Yukinoshita sisters who seemed to be arguing with a somewhat helpless look on their faces.

However, Hikigaya Hachiman, who now possesses superhuman vision, noticed a flash of loneliness in Yukinoshita Haruno's eyes when she reached out her hand to pat her sister's shoulder, but was ruthlessly blocked by the other party.

This time there was no "acting" involved, but rather real emotion from the other party.

"By the way, why don't I see the Executive Committee Chairman? Hasn't he come yet? Could it be..."

Relying on the instinct she had developed over the years, Yukinoshita Haruno naturally changed the topic without making anyone feel out of place at all.

However, when she scanned the surroundings and saw Hikigaya Hachiman, her eyes lit up slightly, and then she jumped in front of him and patted his shoulder, "Hey~ Isn't this Hikigaya-kun? Why are you here to look for Yukino-chan?"

"No, I just came here to work."

As Hikigaya Hachiman said this, he took a few steps back, keeping a safe distance from her.

"Hey~ Sister, I thought you came here specially for Yukino-chan, it seems I was overthinking!"

"Sister, if you have nothing to do, please go out first. We still have things to do."

In order to prevent her sister from saying anything that might lead to misunderstanding, Yukinoshita Yukino began issuing the expulsion order with an unhappy look on her face.

"But the person who invited me here was your senior council president, and I was asked to come here as a volunteer to help..."

With a wicked smile on her face, Yukinoshita Haruno walked behind Joekai, who looked a little embarrassed, and put her hands on her shoulders very naturally.

"Xue-no, is it really okay for you to chase your sister away like this?"

"..."

Completely at a disadvantage, Yukinoshita Yukino bit her lower lip.

"Then, Yang No-san, you can first ask the action committee chairman for his opinion. After all, Yukinoshita is only the vice chairman and has no decision-making power."

The sudden interruption in the conversation between the sisters made the three girls look at the speaker, and Jonghyun, who had realized that he seemed to have done something wrong, looked at Hikigaya Hachiman who was speaking with a grateful face.

"Eh~"

Yukinoshita Haruno narrowed her eyes slightly, quietly looking at the boy who had changed a lot from her impression, and then smiled and asked: "So, who is the chairman who is not present, Hikigaya-kun?"

"Sorry, I was just wandering around the class, so I'm late..."

There was no need for Hikigaya Hachiman to explain, as Sagami Minami walked in, talking to herself and laughing without any apology at all.

Soon, under the sharp gaze of Yukinoshita Haruno, her words were cut off before she could finish.

“Eh~~~ The action committee leader of the cultural festival is late because he was wandering around in class…”

It was clearly a very calm tone, but every word seemed to weigh a thousand gold. As it came out of the other person's mouth, it weighed heavily on her, and her body began to tremble slightly.

"But we should enjoy the cultural festival, otherwise it would be a shame, right?"

There was no blame as she had imagined, but instead words of recognition. Sagami Minami, who had been playing as a background board recently and was secretly compared by other members to Yukinoshita Yukino, who was efficient and organized all matters, big and small, in an orderly manner, was extremely happy.

Therefore, taking this as an opportunity, she was easily led step by step into an abyss that she could not perceive without knowing it by the scheming Yukinoshita Haruno.

[No matter who it is, I will never let anyone who hurts Yukino go, and I will never let what happened in elementary school happen again.]

Yukinoshita Haruno folded her arms and looked ahead quietly. The member who was announcing the Cultural Festival Action Committee should also enjoy the Cultural Festival and should not always be busy like a puppet expressing opinions. There was a cold smile on the corners of her mouth.

[So, you should reflect on yourself in the abyss of despair for me, your sister~]

No one present, including Hikigaya Hachiman, noticed that a mysterious rune appeared on the back of Yukinoshita Haruno's right hand.

It was the same rune that Tomaru had once given Hikigaya Hachiman the ability to command angels at will, but was rejected by the other party.
