Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

But what if the hero was knocked down by the dragon during the performance?

Then everything will be messed up and the class may fall into chaos under such circumstances.

In this situation, Hikigaya even had to try to encourage Horikita, comforting her in a clumsy way: "Well, that was just my own thought, not the thoughts of other people in the class. It doesn't mean that you are such a selfish and bad person, so, uh..."

The stiff words could not be uttered in the confusion.

Because what Hikigaya saw was Horikita Suzune's tightly closed lips, tears in the corners of her eyes, and an even sad look.

Finally, Horikita lowered her head as if she had swallowed something bitter, ignored the reactions of everyone around her, turned around silently, and left the scene.

During the process, she didn't say a word, and didn't even look at anyone around her, and left alone.

"..."

Seeing this happen, Hikigaya was truly dumbfounded.

His current mood was like that of a great devil who was waiting for a brave man to draw his sword and chop off his head, but he didn't expect that the brave man would be angered and run away before he drew his sword.

This situation is too strange!

It's totally out of the ordinary!!

When Hikigaya himself was in chaos due to an accident, the students of Class D came to him with sympathetic eyes.

"Oh, this is a disaster."

Hirata patted his shoulder slowly with a rather helpless tone.

"I thought you, Hikigaya, were a smarter person." Sudo also walked over from not far away and smiled, "I didn't expect that you would be caught off guard like me."

"This……"

He always felt that these people's reactions were too different from what he expected, and Hikigaya was unable to react in time for a while.

What he didn't expect was that other people in Class D, especially the girls, gathered around him.

"Thank you, Hikigaya-san, for confronting Horikita for us!!"

"I used to think that Hikigaya-san was a closed-minded and selfish person, but this time I'm really impressed by him."

"It's the first time I've seen Horikita-san being so speechless after being scolded!"

“I am a little touched!!”

"..."

I never expected that everything would turn out like this.

Looking at the enthusiastic faces of the boys and girls around him, Hikigaya really couldn't hold it back.

After all, he originally wanted Horikita Suzune to enjoy all this, so he stood up and said those vicious words without hesitation, so that Horikita Suzune could become sociable again.

However, what he miscalculated was that because Horikita himself acted too tough and had accumulated too much negative resentment in his daily life, Hikigaya actually became the dragon slayer.

Especially considering the relationship between Hikigaya and Horikita, many people felt that he was sacrificing his own interests for the sake of his classmates and angrily scolded Horikita Suzune, who had a good relationship with him.

This greatly increased Hikigaya's reputation in the class, and it really made him feel a little overwhelmed.

"This is really..."

When the students of Class D let him go, Hikigaya's face was full of innocence. He was really not used to being the center of attention.

At this moment, another figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shinohara Satsuki crossed her arms, her face complicated and slightly flushed as she came in front of him and spoke slowly: "Thank you, thank you, Hikigaya, thank you for speaking for me."

"I……"

I really didn't think of speaking up for you. It was that guy Horikita who ran away halfway!

Hikigaya really wanted to speak his true feelings, but this was destined to be impossible.

He could only helplessly accept the goodwill from the students in Class D, and inexplicably received this huge increase in reputation, feeling extremely miserable.

……

During the daytime sports festival training, all the students in Class D did their best and welcomed the end of the day.

At the same time, Class D also imitated students from other classes and spied on contestants from other classes as much as possible, trying to obtain information about contestants from other classes.

However, the students in Class D soon realized that no matter how much information they had about students from other classes, they could not be sure whether those students would actually participate in the competition.

Because in a real competition, any class will make arrangements for different students and will naturally be wary of snooping from other classes.

Therefore, as long as you cannot obtain the 'list of contestants' of other classes, you cannot influence the strategies of other classes.

But on the other hand, if we can get the list of contestants, it will be a great strategic help.

As long as we can obtain the information of contestants from other classes, the winning rate will be greatly improved.

But generally speaking, this list of contestants will not be distributed to other classes. If it is leaked, it would be digging one's own grave.

No class would allow this to happen easily.

If a similar incident happens in a class, it means that there must be a traitor within that class.

Thinking about things related to the sports festival, Hikigaya packed up and prepared to leave the moment the school bell rang.

At this moment, the sound of packing up was heard from the seat behind him.

"Snapped!"

As if venting some emotion, Horikita Suzune slammed her schoolbag heavily on the seat, and then left without even looking at Hikigaya.

It seems that what happened during the day had a real impact on this guy's heart.

I'm afraid my words might have broken her defenses and caused her real harm.

Although this was not Hikigaya's original intention, the reality was that nothing could change and he could only accept the status quo.

"Hikigaya-san, we're leaving now."

Before leaving the classroom, several students from Class D took the initiative to greet him.

This unprecedented treatment made Hikigaya feel complicated.

Especially since these guys had an 'almost sympathetic' look on their faces, as if they were watching over something, this made Hikigaya feel quite helpless.

The Lone Ranger is not someone who would be pitied!

"Kushida, can you please hold on for a moment?"

At the same time, Hikigaya suddenly noticed that in the distance of the class, Ayanokouji called out to Kushida Kikyo who was about to leave the classroom.

Because Kushida pretended to be gentle, he did not reject Ayanokouji.

Finally, after giving Hikigaya a habitual glance, she silently left the classroom with Ayanokouji.

This is really...

Troubles come one after another.

Feeling helpless about the miserable life he had unknowingly fallen into like a corporate slave, Hikigaya glanced at the text message from Sakayanagi Arisu and sighed silently.

Obviously, what I hate most is the supremacy of strength, but unknowingly, I have gradually begun to rely on this terrible power.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, if you want to protect what you want to protect in this cage of powerism, you must disguise yourself with your strength and show your fangs to others.

But even so, Hikigaya Hachiman still wanted to shout out those words -

I hate the supremacy of strength the most!

Chapter 439: Sakayanagi: We haven’t seen each other for such a long time, do you miss me?

By the evening, the tree-lined avenue of the Beech Mall was completely dark.

After leaving the classroom, Hikigaya came here quietly to meet up with Sakayanagi Arisu.

Ever since the cruise ship exam, Sakayanagi has never contacted him privately again. It has been so long that Hikigaya even suspects that she has forgotten him.

Although he was looking forward to that happening, given the little devil's personality, it was impossible for him to just abandon his toys.

However, Hikigaya was also prepared to deal with Sakayanagi. At least he was no longer interested in being manipulated by the other party.

After all, the reason Sakayanagi was able to threaten him from the beginning was purely because Hikigaya himself wanted to live a peaceful life in this school.

But in fact, even if Sakayanagi did not take action now, Hikigaya could no longer enjoy any peace and was living in dire straits.

Therefore, even if Sakayanagi threatened him with the same thing now, it would not have any effect.

Of course, Hikigaya didn't intend to be hostile to Sakayanagi.

Although Sakayanagi's character is quite bad, he has never done anything to displease him so far and has maintained a certain bottom line.

Most importantly, Sakayanagi is suspected to be hostile to Ayanokouji.

Although Hikigaya doesn't understand the reason for the hostility between Sakayanagi and Ayanokouji, as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, he is more or less willing to maintain a certain cooperative relationship with Sakayanagi.

After all, after the summer vacation, Hikigaya has thoroughly realized the danger of Ayanokouji as an individual and has come up with the idea of ​​confronting him.

While thinking about these things related to Sakayanagi, Hikigaya also thought about the future of Class D.

Class D currently has a lot of problems. Not only is there Horikita Suzune, with whom he had just quarreled during the day, but there are also some invisible landmines with Kushida Kikyo and Karuizawa Megumi.

If left alone, there is a high possibility that they will be used by Ayanokouji.

That was undoubtedly something Hikigaya didn't want to see.

But Hikigaya still couldn't think of a good idea on how to resolve their conflict.

It was for this reason that he took the initiative to meet Sakayanagi, because he realized that meeting with Sakayanagi might give him inspiration to solve the problem.

……

When Hikigaya walked into the Keyaki Shopping Center, the sun had almost completely set.

Although Sakayanagi told him the specific location, they did not agree on a time.

In order to avoid wasting a lot of time, Hikigaya first went to the bookstore and lavishly bought a few copies of Jump's current comic magazines.

Next, he took the comics he bought and went to the agreed coffee shop and ordered a cup of black coffee with plenty of sugar.

Some people would say that bringing comic books to a coffee shop is very unfashionable and not decent at all, but I would like to ask in return, what is fashion and what is decent?

Does everyone in a coffee shop have to wear hipster glasses and hold a MacBook Air?

Every time I go to Starbucks and see people like this, the feeling of being devastated is hard to describe in words. I really want to take an apple and smash it on his glasses.

Sitting in his seat, Hikigaya was reading comics while enjoying his sweet coffee.

Wow, I am so happy!

How wonderful it would be if this kind of happiness could last a lifetime!

Just as Hikigaya was experiencing some kind of supreme joy, a figure suddenly opened the door of the coffee shop and came into his sight.

"Hey, are we there yet?"

The girl's clear voice rang out.

Hikigaya looked at the girl who had spoken and noticed that Sakayanagi's outfit today was a little different. She was not wearing a school uniform, but a white stand-up collar top, a coarse knit cardigan, and a long skirt.

With her iconic silver hair and extremely fair skin, Sakayanagi now looked like a princess from a fairy tale or the heroine from a comic book.

In addition, the cane that Sakayanagi always held in her hand at that moment added to the dreaminess and gave people a feeling of lightness.

As Sakayanagi Arisu walked into the coffee shop, she blended into the environment almost effortlessly.

Completely different from that guy who wears a school uniform, has dead eyes, and reads comic books, the combination of the girl and the cafe is as beautiful as a painting.

"Long time no see, Hikigaya-kun."

Sakayanagi sat directly next to Hikigaya, her body in close contact with the latter without any concern.

But this did not make Hikigaya feel any happiness. Instead, his body stiffened unconsciously due to nervousness.

There was no way. As someone who knew the nature of this little devil very well, he had no doubt at all about how many little thoughts the other party had in his mind that he had not revealed.

Even if it was just one sentence from this guy, he would instinctively guess the meaning behind it several times before he would give up.

By the way, Sakayanagi was holding a bag, and it seemed that she had just gone to the bookstore to buy books.

The common feature of these books is that their binding is particularly luxurious, and at first glance they are hardcover versions that are not much cheaper even if they are sold at a special price.
