Hikigaya, Oregairu game, start

The corners of Hikigaya's mouth twitched slightly, but there was nothing he could do. Since the other party invited him so warmly, he could only reluctantly agree.

After Ye Sheng's introduction, they squeezed out space for one person at the seats where they were sitting.

Hikigaya ordered a random set meal and sat down in the empty seat.

Hikigaya took his coffee and sat down, feeling as if he had been waiting for a long time. Tobe began to speak.

Chapter 36 He is so gentle

"...Um, I asked Hai Laoming if he wanted to go to the movies with me! But he refused."

(Tobe's courage in not accepting the lesson and even asking Ebiaki to go to the movies is considered strong, or is it? Is this guy really an idiot?) Hikigaya complained in his heart.

"Hahaha, this is really a pity." Ye Shan looked regretful.

"Hey—Hitotani-kun, what do you think? If it were Emi-kun, where would you like to go together?"

"Well...how should I put it? Anime or something?"

(Is it possible that she simply doesn't want to go out with you? Although telling her about anime, especially BL, might be a good way to ask her out, there's also the risk that she's already seen it.)

Hikigaya said this and then fell silent.

"No, Hitori-kun, this animation is a little too childish, no. Hitori-kun, this is not okay—. No, no, no."

The Minister of Revenue shook his head, obviously disagreeing.

Hikigaya: "………………"

He really wanted to say, you and she are not at the same level, okay? Even if you ask her out, you probably won't get any results.

"I see. As expected, Hikigaya and I were of the same mind."

"Eh?!!"

Hikigaya and Tobe were both shocked when they heard what Hayama said.

"Really? Hayato-kun has the same idea as Hitori-kun?"

"Hahaha, almost."

"On the contrary? Or rather, it's possible or something like that?"

"I feel like this might work! As expected of Hayato-kun..."

Hikigaya: "…………"

Ye Shan: “………………”

Where did you come from, you double standard dog?

Later on, Hikigaya basically stopped participating in the discussion because he found that this was not what he was good at at all.

He just ate the food brought by the waiter in silence.

But the minister of the Ministry of Revenue talked like a machine gun, never stopping.

"...Well, now that we're done eating, it's almost time for me to leave," Hikigaya said after finishing his meal.

"It's okay to chat leisurely for a while." Ye Shan suggested.

Hikigaya was speechless.

"Sorry, I have something else to do."

"Is that so? Then you are sorry, Master."

"fine."

Hikigaya waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

Hikigaya finished the coffee in his cup, looked out the window, and then stood up.

"Goodbye."

Hikigaya waved and turned towards the door.

When he came outside, Hikigaya felt exhausted both physically and mentally. The meal and rest he had just taken had not helped him to feel any less tired.

Although he had only been out for a short while, he decided to go home.

Have a good rest, you have to go to school tomorrow.

Miura: "Hasn't a whole class already passed? So that's why I only had a sour face that one time when I appeared? Did this system really play the wrong video?"

[System: "Please do not slander this system. This is indeed your timeline."]

Miura: "Why do I appear so rarely?"

[System: "............Detected in the chat group, someone sent a request saying the timeline is too slow. We are now speeding up. The daily timeline is no longer needed. It will be played at ten times the speed, but the plot will still enter the chat group and everyone's minds."] 1

[System: "Starting playback at ten times the speed immediately. You may experience some discomfort during playback, but it will soon subside. Please be prepared."]

[Tuanzi: "Wow, it can be accelerated? Yumiko is amazing, she actually found a new way to play."]

Yumiko: “…………”

Soon, the video really started playing at ten times the speed, skipping over Hikigaya and Komachi's playful moments in the evening, their mutual affection over breakfast in the morning, Hikigaya's greetings with Yukino and Dango, and the negative comments about Hayama circulating around the class, right up until Miura Yumiko arrived right in front of Hikigaya.

[But surprisingly, even if I play it at ten times the speed, the plot I mentioned earlier is like it's been implanted in my brain. I remember it all.]

"Hey, Hikio."

“…Oh, what’s wrong?”

"have time?"

The topic that made her talk to me so seriously must be the Ye Shan incident.

Even though it was just a rumor, she really cared about it.

Or perhaps she cares about everything about Ye Shan?

But that question is hard to answer here.

Hikigaya thought for a few seconds before speaking: "Let's talk outside?"

"Well, I'll go call Hime."

"Ah."

When the three of them arrived outside the classroom, Miura couldn't wait to ask him, "What about that rumor?"

In response to Miura's straightforward question, Ebiaki, who had followed along, kept nodding for some reason.

Like she was hinting something to him?

"Um, why are you asking me this?" Hikigaya couldn't help but ask.

"Because... you and Yukinoshita... seem to have a good relationship, but that... Yui, I don't really want to involve her." Miura hesitated for a while before saying it.

(…Sigh, should I say you’re really good at taking care of the people around you?)

(Yuigahama and Ebina are the few lifelines of Miura.)

While Hikigaya was lamenting about the strange place, Miura asked anxiously, "So, what's going on?"

"It's just speculation from the onlookers, because his family and Yukinoshita's family are old friends."

“…This makes me care even more.” Miura frowned.

"...Well, if it's just the two of them, I think there's really nothing wrong. But if they're family friends, wouldn't it be normal for them to act together?"

"That... maybe that's the case."

Or maybe actually Hikigaya really wanted to say that it was impossible for these two people to be together, because... forget it, it's better not to think about things that are uncertain.

"Since we can't find out anything by investigating, how about Hikigaya-kun just ask Hayato-kun?"

"Huh? Why me?"

Hikigaya knew that Ebina definitely had bad intentions when he said such things.

"Because Hayato-kun, you might be troubled. You were a little angry at the person who spread the rumor just now."

(Are you angry? I keep thinking about that Hayama who “does nothing”. Are you angry?)

Hayama's anger made Hikigaya certain of many things.

The reason why Ye Shan was angry was definitely not because of the rumors in school.

It’s because of the rumor about him and Yukinoshita Yukino. After all, if that person heard such a rumor, I’m afraid... Yeshan would be tortured terribly, right?

"Look, look, 'It's Hikigaya I really like...!'" or something like that!

Ebina started again, her unparalleled fujoshi speech.

"That's absolutely impossible." Hikigaya said seriously.

"By the way, Hai Laoming, wipe your saliva."

Miura reminded.

"...But what is the truth? Let's put it aside for now."

"Ok?"

"In that case...don't think of it as something bad like you're doing now. Even if you don't want to pay attention to it, you'll still hear rumors."

Hearing Ebina's words, Hikigaya couldn't help but wonder if she had also experienced something like this. But of course, although he was curious, he would never ask this question out loud.

Because their relationship shouldn't be that good, right?

"Because, with everyone watching them like this, Hayato and Hikigaya-kun's secret love won't develop... and they'll both be in even more pain... Fufufufu."

“No, there will be no development, and there will be no pain.”

Hikigaya vehemently denied this.

(But if we really want to do something, it has to be done by the person involved. Hayama, you wouldn't say it yourself unless you're asked, right?)

"Don't expect too much from me."

"Ugh?"

Miura looked at Hikigaya in disbelief. Although he had a good relationship with her best friend, to put it bluntly, his relationship with her should be very bad, right?

"I'm not close to him to begin with, and I can't guarantee I can get anything out of him."

"So don't expect too much from me."

"Um... um."

Miura was silent.

She couldn't help but think of Tuanzi always saying that Ah Qi was a very gentle person. She didn't believe it at first, but now, she believed it.

He is really, so gentle.
