While packing the bedding, Hikigaya Hachiman chatted with Totsuka Ayaka and made an appointment to play tennis together when they had time.

Even Totsuka's contact information was included.

He held the phone tightly in both hands, looking at the greeting email from Totsuka on the screen, and couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

After cleaning the room and changing clothes, the two went to the cafeteria together.

As soon as they entered the cafeteria, Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Komachi in surprise.

She was anxiously shaking Yukinoshita Yukino's arm, and whispered urgently, "Sister Yukino, Sister Yukino! Something terrible has happened!"

Komachi pointed calmly at a table in the corner of the cafeteria. Under the table, an ugly head was sticking out, and a pair of big, Caroline eyes were staring at the students curiously.

Curse spirit?

Did a cursed spirit appear here too?!

Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes suddenly widened, but before he could finish being surprised, he saw Yukinoshita Yukino casually wave her hand, and the cursed spirit's head was chopped off by an invisible blow, and it instantly turned into ashes and disappeared into the air.

It turned out to be a weak creature that is not even a fourth-level curse spirit. It is not surprising to see such a thing anywhere. It seems that I have made a big fuss out of nothing.

Hikigaya Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

I almost thought that the situation would change from a daily set to a supernatural battle set.

After getting their breakfast, he and Totsuka Ayaka randomly found an empty table and sat down.

Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had been drunk and sleeping for a day, reappeared in front of everyone at this time, and the first thing she did was to issue today's support mission.

"Okay, let me tell you about today's arrangements. We are going to have a courage test and a bonfire party tonight. The elementary school students are free to move around during the day, so you should take this time to prepare well."

"A test of courage..." Hikigaya Hachiman sighed and murmured. Sad memories suddenly flooded into his mind. Just when the scene was about to appear in his mind, he extinguished it in time.

No, once I start recalling my dark history, my cursed power will inevitably fluctuate, and Minister Yukinoshita will notice it.

Although he seemed to have decided beforehand that he would maintain his magic power at a stable level even when his emotions fluctuated, after trying it he found that it was impossible.

Forget it, make peace with yourself.

While letting my thoughts wander aimlessly, I unconsciously poked the fried fish on the plate with my chopsticks.

"Hikigaya, your eyes are dead." Hiratsuka Shizuka's complaints slowly drifted into his ears, "Well, forget it, anyway, this look is quite suitable for pretending to be a ghost."

"Are we responsible for scaring people at the Test of Courage?" he said boredly.

"I remember there are ghost costumes here. You can divide the work among yourselves."

"it is good."

……

……

The first thing to do, of course, is to build the large bonfire needed for the bonfire party.

The physical work was naturally contracted by the boys. Under the scorching summer sun, Hikigaya Hachiman built the bonfire silently by himself.

Thanks to his daily exercise, he completed the task without expending much physical energy, but the morning sun still made him sweat a lot.

"So hot……"

While fanning the unnecessary breeze with his hands, Hikigaya Hachiman went into the woods, looking for a place to escape the heat and cool down.

"Ok?"

Faint sounds of communication came from the woods nearby. He suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Tsurumi Rumi?"

"It looks like she's starting to take action."

A cold voice sounded, and Yukinoshita Yukino and Yuigahama Yui walked over together, followed by a handsome black-haired young man.

It turns out that Uncle Lin Qi is still here.

I thought she left with Minister Yukinoshita and her sister last night.

Wait, in this case, if we let Uncle Lin Qi pretend to be a ghost and scare people at the courage test tonight, wouldn’t he be able to scare everyone accurately?

While Hikigaya Hachiman was complaining in his heart, the three men had already arrived in front of him, also looking at the two elementary school girls through the woods.

"Why did you call me here? What's the matter?" An elementary school girl with a brown bob haircut looked at Tsurumi Rumi with an impatient look on her face.

"Well, I want to apologize to you, Yuka." Tsurumi Rumi lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice.

"Huh? You don't think I'll talk to you if you do this?" The girl named Yuka sneered.

Tsurumi Rumi was silent for a moment, and her hands, which were hanging naturally, clenched into fists.

Then, she raised her head, looked into Yuka's eyes bravely, and said seriously: "No, I just want to apologize for ostracizing you with them before, that's all."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that. It's really stupid to join others to exclude someone."

"Not just you, I will also apologize to everyone else who has been excluded and isolated."

Tsurumi Rumi bowed slightly to her, and the latter was a little at a loss for what to do with her solemn attitude, but she subconsciously put on a proud attitude on her face.

"That's all I have to say. Goodbye."

After saying what she wanted to say, Tsurumi Rumi turned around and left without even looking at Yuka's reaction, as if she really didn't care.

The four people who were standing not far away and watching followed Tsurumi Rumi's footsteps at the same time, and watched her apologize to the people she had excluded before one by one.

"Is this the solution that Xiaoxue mentioned?" Yuigahama Yui said blankly, "But if they are unwilling to forgive Rumi-chan, then the problem will not be solved, right?"

"It's not like that." A glimmer of understanding flashed in Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes, and he explained to the bun-haired girl who seemed to understand.

“As long as the person who raises the problem no longer thinks it is a problem, then the problem will naturally cease to exist.”

"Huh? Why are you suddenly talking about tongue twisters?"

"..."

Looking at Yuigahama Yui who tilted her head adorably, Hikigaya Hachiman was speechless.

……

...Chapter 137: Reputation Damaged

"You shouldn't need to worry anymore."

Seeing Tsurumi Rumi looking calm, Yukinoshita Yukino felt relieved.

"Then let's continue going?" After Hikigaya Hachiman's painstaking explanation, Yuigahama Yui finally understood what Yukinoshita did. After seeing Tsurumi Rumi untied her knot, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Where are we going?" Hikigaya Hachiman asked curiously.

"Go, change into your swimsuit." The girl with the bun-haired look suddenly blushed. "Teacher Hiratsuka said we can play by the river."

"Huh?" He was slightly stunned, then shifted his gaze to the black-haired young man.

Lin Qi looked at him in confusion: "Huh? Why are you looking at me?"

"No, nothing... Is Teacher Lin Qi going to change into a swimsuit too?"

"Why are you changing into a swimsuit?" Lin Qi looked at him with a half-smile, "Do you want to play in the water with me?"

"...I'm sorry, please let me go." Hikigaya Hachiman quickly clasped his hands together and lowered his head to apologize.

"I didn't realize you were such a playful student." Lin Qi put her arm around his shoulders and said cheerfully, "Let's go now."

"Uh, no need..."

"Hey, why are you being so distant with me, teacher? Come on, come on."

So, the two of them walked towards the river arm in arm, looking like a harmonious group of mentors and friends.

It is called a river, but in fact it is just a slightly wider stream, and the water level barely reaches half of the calf.

"Wait, wait, I didn't bring a swimsuit!" Hikigaya Hachiman protested as they arrived at the stream.

"Just take off your shoes and roll up your trouser legs and you're done. Why would you need a swimsuit?"

The dead-eyed boy looked nervous and embarrassed, with an extremely reluctant expression on his face, just like an innocent and pitiful girl who was about to be raped but was unable to resist because she was caught with a handle.

He took off his sneakers and socks hesitantly, then bent down and rolled up his trouser legs. Then Lin Qi kicked him into the stream. Caught off guard, he lost his balance and fell into the water.

"…So what's the point of asking me to take off my shoes and roll up my trouser legs?"

Looking at his completely wet trousers, Hikigaya Hachiman dared neither to be angry nor to say anything.

He stood up and looked back, and saw that Lin Qi had done the same as him, taking off her shoes, rolling up her trouser legs, and even taking off her top, revealing muscles as perfect as those of an ancient Greek sculpture.

"Come and practice."

Lin Qi hooked her finger at him.

Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly felt his anus tighten.

The stream is very long, and Ye Shan and others were playing in a wider area downstream, so they didn't have to worry about being seen.

There is no way to hide from it, but at least you don’t have to worry about being embarrassed.

So he took off his shirt and put it on the shore, then raised his hands and got into boxing stance, ready for the next fight.

I hope that the quick fighting skills I learned from YouTube can satisfy Uncle Lin Qi.

However, seeing him swaying his upper body and moving towards her, Lin Qi was speechless: "This is not a fight, who are you trying to show off to?"

Before he could put down his arms, Lin Qi's voice sounded from behind him, followed by a not-too-severe pain in the back of his head.

"Be serious and fight well." Lin Qi said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh..." Hikigaya Hachiman touched the back of his head with an innocent look on his face.

After Lin Qi hooked her hand to signal him to start again, he immediately stepped forward and ran towards the black-haired young man with a fearless spirit.

Uncle Lin Qi didn't ask me to use any techniques, I guess he just wanted to train my physical skills.

And physical skills are precisely Hikigaya Hachiman's weakest point.

Lin Qi let Hikigaya Hachiman approach her, and then watched him throw a punch filled with cursed power straight at her.

He even knew to use his cursed power, but seeing this action made him shake his head and sigh.

He casually raised his hand to block the uppercut thrown by Hikigaya Hachiman, flipped his wrist, and grabbed his wrist with his backhand.

Oops……

His wrist seemed to be clamped in a vise, unable to move. Hikigaya Hachiman's heart sank, as if he had foreseen his next fate.

An irresistible force pulled him over, his center of gravity was instantly destroyed, and he fell towards the water.

With a tug and a trip, she easily knocked Hikigaya Hachiman to the ground. Lin Qi stepped on his upturned butt and said lazily, "Reserve some strength when you punch. You're not One Punch Man who can kill me with one punch."

"Gulu Gulu (I know)"

A string of bubbles appeared on the water surface. Hikigaya Hachiman stood up again, wiped the water droplets off his face, and rushed towards Lin Qi again.

This time he learned his lesson and tried with a series of jabs, but they were all blocked by Lin Qi's palms. The latter did not take the opportunity to launch a counterattack, but just kept blocking Hikigaya Hachiman's attacks to let him get familiar with his offensive rhythm.

Until he thought it was almost time, he opened his mouth to remind: "I'm going to attack."

Hikigaya Hachiman immediately became extremely alert, ready to meet Lin Qi's attack.

However, the expected attack did not come. Lin Qi kicked the water surface with one foot, and large splashes of water rushed towards the face of the dead-eyed boy.

The latter subconsciously raised his hand to resist, but the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and his whole body arched like a shrimp.

A black shadow gradually enlarged in his pupils, and in a hurry, he quickly used his palms to block in front of him, barely blocking Lin Qi's knee, but his whole body fell backwards, and after staggering back two steps, he fell on his back in the stream, splashing a large amount of water.

numb.

Hit this with the head.

"Ah! Why did Xiaoqi fight with Teacher Lin Qi!?"

At the same time, the screams coming from the bank of the stream made him so ashamed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

Yuigahama Yui, who had changed into a swimsuit, covered her mouth in surprise. She had just come over with Yukinoshita Yukino and Komachi when she saw the brutal scene of Lin Qi using her knee to knock Hikigaya Hachiman flying.

The black-haired girl also showed a little embarrassment on her face. She just suggested walking upstream because there were too many people downstream and she was not adapting well. She didn't expect that Lin Qijun was training with Hikigaya at this time.

"Oh, my brother has been bullied again." Compared to the girl with the bun-haired look who was full of worry, Komachi, the younger sister of Hikigaya Hachiman, looked as if she was used to it and shook her head calmly.

"Why are Xiaoxue and Komachi so calm? Xiaoqi was beaten?" Yuigahama Yui pointed at the dead-eyed boy lying in the water, panicking with a hint of confusion, "Although Xiaoqi is often beaten by Mr. Hiratsuka at school, this is beyond the scope of playing, right?"

Lin Qi's blow seemed too cruel. If a normal person was hit by that, not only would his nose be crooked, but two of his front teeth would probably be knocked out.
