"Mrs. Yuigahama, good morning."
"Good morning, Hasegawa-kun, Yui, I'm counting on you today, too."
"Well, no need to say that, we're just going to school together."
He said goodbye to Mrs. Yuigahama with a smile, and went to school with Yuigahama Yui, the little tail behind him. In fact, similar conversations like this happen every morning. Every time Kenichi Hasegawa goes to school, Mrs. Yuigahama will smile and say a few words to Kenichi Hasegawa, mostly saying things like "I'll leave my daughter to you today, please take care of her."
And every morning, a few simple conversations can keep Kenichi Hasegawa in a relaxed and happy state for the whole day.
When he arrived at school, Kenichi Hasegawa saw that Hachiman Hikigaya was already sitting in his seat, reading a book quietly by himself, and he didn't know if he was really engaged. In short, he seemed to be in two completely different worlds from the rest of the class.
"Hello, classmate Hikigaya." Kenichi Hasegawa came to Hachiman Hikigaya and said to him with a smile.
"Ah?" Hikigaya Hachiman's dead fish eyes flashed a trace of surprise, and he looked at Hasegawa Kenichi a little blankly, not quite understanding why Hasegawa Kenichi called him: "Um, Hasegawa-san, what can I do for you?"
"Hikigaya-san knows me?" Hasegawa Kenichi was a little surprised. After all, he was usually taciturn, and his appearance was ordinary and not outstanding. He should not be very noticeable in the class. Hikigaya Hachiman seemed to have just entered the school. Even if he knew the students in the class, he should not recognize all of them. But he called out Hasegawa Kenichi's name at once.
"Well, I just occasionally looked at the list of students in the class, and then wrote down everyone's names by the way." Hikigaya Hachiman said in an ordinary tone.
"..."Hasegawa Kenichi didn't know what to say when he heard Hikigaya Hachiman say this. He actually wrote down the names of everyone in the class on the first day of entering the school. It really made people feel speechless. Hasegawa Kenichi now doesn't dare to say that he can remember the names of everyone in the class. After all, he doesn't care much about his classmates. There is no communication, so he doesn't take it to heart.
"Hikigaya-san, can you wait for me after school at noon? I have something to tell you." Hasegawa Kenichi asked with a smile. Although he was asking, his tone was somewhat affirmative, as if he didn't want Hikigaya Hachiman to refuse, but this tone was mixed with gentleness, which didn't make people feel aggressive.
"Oh, okay." Hikigaya Hachiman blinked. Although he didn't know why Hasegawa Kenichi wanted to find him, he still nodded.
But Hikigaya Hachiman's mind was flashing with thoughts and ideas one by one: Why did Hasegawa-san look for him? Could it be that Hasegawa-san was a school bully and wanted to bully him? No, no, no, Hasegawa-san didn't look like a school bully, so what was the situation? Did he want to make friends with him? Well, this is possible. After all, Hasegawa didn't seem to join any circle in the class, and he was alone most of the time. So he wanted to gather with people like him for warmth? Or maybe...
On the other side, after Hasegawa Kenichi and Hikigaya Hachiman agreed, he made a gesture to Yuigahama Yui. Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but show a grateful look.
After that, Hasegawa Kenichi was not affected at all. He went to class when he should, listened to the lecture when he should, and took notes carefully. But Hikigaya Hachiman kept thinking about random things in his mind, and even couldn't attend class properly. As for Yuigahama Yui, well, she was a bad student.
Until noon after school, Hasegawa Kenichi took Yuigahama Yui and found Hikigaya Hachiman who was waiting at the agreed place.
"Hikigaya-san."
"Hasegawa-san, um, and Yuigahama-san." Hikigaya Hachiman looked at Yuigahama Yui who was following Hasegawa Kenichi, and his eyes became more confused.
Hasegawa Kenichi took two steps back and let Yuigahama Yui face Hikigaya Hachiman. But at this time, Yuigahama Yui looked a little at a loss, and her face turned a little red.
Hikigaya Hachiman looked confused, and even doubted whether he was still in a dream. After all, Yuigahama Yui's expression now was too misleading.
"What's going on? Could it be that Yuigahama-san likes me? She wants to confess to me, so she asked Hasegawa-san to invite me? No way, she really wants to confess to me? But that's impossible, I just entered high school. And, with my appearance, although I don't want to belittle myself, how could a girl like me. But what is Yuigahama-san doing like this? What's going on?"
"That, that, Hikigaya-san——"
Hikigaya Hachiman's face darkened: "It's Hikigaya. "
"Ah? Ah, sorry, sorry, Hikigaya-san, that, that, I, I didn't mean to call you by your name, I, I, I just, just-"
"I'm sorry, please allow me to refuse."
"Ah? ? ? "Yuigahama Yui looked confused: "I, I haven't said yet-"
"Anyway, please allow me to refuse. I'm sorry, Yuigahama-san, I didn't want to fall in love in high school, I want to study hard in high school, and then go to a good university." Hikigaya Hachiman said seriously.
"Ah hey hey? ? ? "Yuigahama Yui looked confused, she just came to apologize and thank you, but why did Hikigaya Hachiman tell her that he didn't want to fall in love in high school anymore?
Hasegawa Kenichi's expression was a little strange, and he understood what was going on. However, he felt that this Hikigaya Hachiman was a little too narcissistic. Not to mention that he had just entered high school, he didn't know anyone, and he was not familiar with anyone. He himself is not handsome, especially with those dead fish eyes, he doesn't look like a girl would like him, but this guy actually thinks Yuigahama Yui would like him and wants to confess to him? What is this guy thinking?
"I'm sorry, if there is nothing else, I'm going back." Hikigaya Hachiman apologized again and prepared to leave.
"Ah hey hey?" Yuigahama Yui still didn't react.
"Ahem, that, Hikigaya classmate, did you misunderstand?" Hasegawa Kenichi watched Hikigaya Hachiman prepare to leave, and Yuigahama Yui, the idiot, hadn't reacted to what was going on, so Hasegawa Kenichi had to stand up.
