-While lost in his thoughts, Hachiman quickly boarded the bus and found that, perhaps because he had been too slow, only two empty seats remained.
Rolling his eyes, Hachiman sat in the seat by the window.
Since Yui had been forcibly dragged away by Yumiko, Hachiman could only hope that no one else would come.
Seriously, why doesn't this bus have any single seats?
"Yo~ Hachiman-kun, what a coincidence."
Heike Shizuka sat down beside Hachiman without the slightest hesitation and spoke with a smile.
"Teacher, did you know your mouth smells like cigarettes?"
"I have some chewing gum here. Want one?" Hachiman asked fearlessly, his Dead Fish Eyes wide open. "Ah~ Hachiman-kun, this isn't like your usual way of doing things. So, you're doing this on purpose, right?" Heike Shizuka smiled kindly, though her hands never stopped moving.
"Ugh."
Hachiman let out a low groan, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
"Hehe."
As if she had done nothing at all, Heike Shizuka took the chewing gum from Hachiman's hand, tore open the wrapper, and popped it into her mouth.
Ignoring Hachiman's pale face and the sweat on his head, Hiratsuka Shizuka patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. You won't die."
After that, Heike Shizuka unceremoniously took the notebook Hachiman had brought and watched the movies downloaded inside with great interest.
As for the computer's owner, he could only roll his eyes and lie in his seat. Sorry, Hikki. You'll have to stay by yourself for a while.
Meanwhile, Yui and Miura chatted happily.
Neither of them had any idea that this journey was practically an exercise in building Hachiman's resistance to physical abuse.
