Hikigaya Hachiman, how should I put it, this guy gives people a very strange feeling, especially his eyes. To be honest, this is the first time that Kenichi Hasegawa has seen such eyes. He looks like a salted fish that has been dead for who knows how long. Obviously, apart from his eyes, his appearance is still okay.
The eyes are very strange, making people not want to get close to him. And after all, it has been three weeks since the start of school, and this is the fourth week. The small teams and small circles in the class have long been established and even matured. You know, just like Yuigahama Yui, she just didn't come on the first day, and because of some changes in her family, her personality became a little timid, and until now, she has not been able to integrate into a circle. Hikigaya Hachiman, a boy who has just arrived at school and even has such strange eyes, naturally finds it more difficult to integrate into those circles.
Hikigaya Hachiman has been sitting quietly in his seat, not talking to anyone, not communicating with anyone. Even when he occasionally looks at other classmates in the class, he still has a little indifference, giving people the feeling that he puts himself in the perspective of a bystander. Just watching, absolutely not participating in it.
Looking at Hikigaya Hachiman like this, Hasegawa Kenichi is a little curious about this guy. Of course, being a little curious does not mean that Hasegawa Kenichi wants to understand him. How to say it, Hasegawa Kenichi really doesn't like to communicate with high school students. I feel there is a generation gap, and high school students are too energetic. He feels that he is old and his heart is old. He is more like sitting quietly by the side, watching these high school students laughing and playing with a kind look.
However, at this time, Hasegawa Kenichi noticed Yuigahama Yui. After seeing Hikigaya Hachiman, Yuigahama Yui's eyes were always strange. She wanted to go forward to thank him, but she was always hesitant and didn't dare to go forward, let alone speak.
Her appearance made Hasegawa Kenichi shake his head.
Perhaps, he needed to enlighten Yuigahama Yui. Who made her his classmate? Who made her follow him to and from school like a little tail? Who made her the daughter of Mrs. Yuigahama? Uh, the last one can be ignored.
After school, Hasegawa Kenichi walked out with his schoolbag. Seeing this, Yuigahama Yui hurriedly followed like a little tail.
In fact, the classmates in the class have more or less noticed Yuigahama Yui's situation, but Yuigahama Yui has not been able to integrate into other small circles, and Hasegawa Kenichi has no circle at all, so sometimes someone may discuss them, but no one will really talk to them, so they have been quiet all the time.
"Yuigahama-san."
"Ah? Hasegawa-san." Yuigahama Yui didn't seem to expect Hasegawa Kenichi to suddenly talk to her, and she was stunned, then lowered her head, her face slightly red, and didn't dare to look into Hasegawa Kenichi's eyes.
"You seem to care about Hikigaya Hachiman-san."
"Ah? No, that me, I, I just--" Yuigahama Yui blushed.
"I know, it's because he saved you back then. You want to thank him in person, right." Hasegawa Kenichi looked at Yuigahama Yui's appearance, couldn't help shaking his head, and asked with a smile.
"...Yeah." Yuigahama Yui lowered her head, and after a moment of silence, she couldn't help but nodded.
"In that case, then thank him in person. I think he won't blame you." Hasegawa Kenichi said to Yuigahama Yui.
"But, but-really, is it okay?" Yuigahama Yui couldn't help but raise her head, and after seeing Hasegawa Kenichi's eyes, she couldn't help but lower her head again.
"Of course. I don't think Hikigaya-san will blame you. After all, although his eyes are a little strange, he feels like a reasonable person. Moreover, when others are in danger, he takes the initiative to save people. He should have a good heart. Well, he should be a good person." Hasegawa Kenichi analyzed: "Besides, if you don't take the initiative to find him, you will keep this matter in your heart. It will be very uncomfortable to hold it in like this."
"Then, then I, I will find Hikigaya-san?" Yuigahama Yui's eyes flashed with a trace of determination. With the encouragement of Hasegawa Kenichi, she made a decision.
"Well, that's good. But, let's go tomorrow."
"Huh?"
"Didn't you notice? Hikigaya should have gone home. He probably didn't join any clubs. After all, it's his first day at school. Even if there are clubs he's interested in, he doesn't have time to join. You probably won't be able to find him in school. Let's go find him tomorrow." Hasegawa Kenichi said.
"Yes. Thank you, Hasegawa." Yuigahama Yui said gratefully.
"You're welcome. I still have to go to the Kendo Club. Do you want to continue to follow me or go home first?" Hasegawa Kenichi asked again.
"This--" Yuigahama Yui was stunned, lowered her head, and didn't say anything, but her appearance also showed her decision.
Hasegawa Kenichi smiled and shook his head when he saw this. She is really a shy little girl.
When he came to the Kendo Club again, Hasegawa Kenichi found that the small corner where he often practiced sword seemed to have someone in it. He frowned, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and found another more remote corner to practice his Kendo.
In the corner where Hasegawa Kenichi used to stay, Busujima Saeko frowned slightly: "It's this time, and he hasn't come yet. Is he not going to practice in the Kendo Club today?"
Generally speaking, even if you join a club, you don't necessarily come to the club to practice or participate in activities every day. Generally speaking, it is normal for a student to come to the club about two or three times a week, so it is not strange for Busujima Saeko to think so.
Hasegawa Kenichi didn't know that the person who occupied his place was Busujima Saeko, and he didn't know that the other party was actually waiting for him. Finding another remote corner, Hasegawa Kenichi took his wooden sword and started practicing again. After this period of practice, his Kendo proficiency has improved a lot, and he is even about to upgrade. When his swordsmanship is upgraded to level 4, this level can probably be considered a master even among the professional level.
However, although level 4 is easy to upgrade, level 5 will be ten times more proficient than level 4. At that time, it will not be so easy to upgrade again. Even the Japanese he often uses now is still level 4. It will take a long time to upgrade to level 5.
