I Accept Your Challenge! 10k

I'll give it a little thought.

"Hachiman Hikigaya, haven't you always wanted to be a leisurely stay-at-home husband? You even offered Shiina 20 million yen to get her a good job and then support you."

Um?

It seems Kushida is quite good at getting information out of others; he's already won over Shiina.

And Hachiman did indeed say those words to Shiina.

However, they rejected him.

And now.

Kushida said the same thing.

Hachiman, look over here.

Kushida, are you trying to work hard now?

"Horikita."

The next day, when Suzune Horikita returned to class, Haruki Yamauchi apologized to her with an awkward expression and in an awkward tone.

However, his voice was trembling with sobs.

Yes.

Yamauchi almost cried.

Because it's really too much.

That's really going too far.

Yamauchi felt extremely wronged.

He felt wronged after Hirata told him to apologize to Horikita in class, but that wasn't the end of it.

Last night, he discovered that the indoor shoes in his shoe cabinet had been cut with scissors. The shoe cabinet had also been stuffed with trash.

Back in the dormitory, people kept knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell as if it were a prank.

But when they arrived at the door, they found no one there, and on the ground lay the corpses of dead rats.

That's disgusting.

Why is this happening? Why treat him like this?

Last night, he went to Hirata- kun crying, but Hirata- kun said that he was also troubled. He didn't want his classmates to do such a thing, but he guessed that everyone was dissatisfied with Yamauchi, so he hoped that Yamauchi could apologize to Horikita.

It's best to do it in front of the whole class.

In this way, the prank will disappear.

The main reason is that Hirata- kun doesn't want to hurt anyone, so he uses this conciliatory approach.

So all you need to do is apologize.

All you need to do is apologize to Horikita the next morning.

When he arrived at the classroom in the morning, he found that his desk had been covered with offensive words, such as "[trash]" and "[go to hell]", which sounded like the voice of a demon and almost made him cry.

He had never experienced this kind of bullying before, but he knew very well that if he didn't apologize immediately, he would be bullied even more.

So when Horikita appeared here, he could no longer hold back.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Horikita. I spoke recklessly yesterday, and I apologize for my behavior."

"..." Suzune Horikita's face was stern.

Or perhaps it was unexpected even for her.

Yesterday, she was persuaded by Hachiman to go back to the dormitory first, and he would handle the matter. But she really didn't expect that Yamauchi would apologize to her like this.

"I didn't hear anything yesterday." Horikita analyzed the situation in the class. It seemed that everyone was watching Yamauchi and paying attention to this matter, so she gave a calm answer.

She sighed inwardly, knowing that Hachiman must have disposed of it for her again.

And it was handled so perfectly.

Sure enough, she was still far from enough.

"Ah, okay, okay, I didn't hear anything, I didn't hear anything either, everyone didn't hear anything, right?" Yamauchi paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Is this alright?"

He looked at his classmates with a pitiful expression.

Many students went too far.

They were probably all involved in bullying the Yamauchi side.

It seems they've reached a compromise, albeit reluctantly.

"But I only sent you a message to stop the rumors in the class from spreading, and you went to bully Yamauchi instead." Hachiman sat in his seat. Horikita was probably curious about this, so she kept looking at him, but he was sending a message to Kei Karuizawa sitting in the front row.

Yes.

If rumors are circulating but older students are unaware of them, how should this be handled?

It's very simple.

You can just pinch it off.

Simply deprive it of soil to grow.

So he entrusted Karuizawa with the task.

"Those are things I've experienced in the past, and they were very...minor," Karuizawa replied.

"I'm sorry. I reminded you of something unpleasant," Hachiman quickly replied.

However, Karuizawa did not reply further.

However, he still had to go to the Student Council later. Yesterday, when he came out of Horikita, he saw a familiar face among the upperclassmen.

"This is truly a rare guest."

In the Student Council, Student Council President Manabu Horikita was sitting in his seat, with a large stack of documents on his desk that needed to be revised or approved.

Although he often has a stern face, even Hachiman cannot deny that this Student Council President is actually quite outstanding.

"So, is something wrong this time? Or... is it about yesterday?" Manabu Horikita paused before speaking.

As for what happened yesterday, it was probably yesterday morning when he took Suzune Horikita outside the playground, and then he saw her in the crowd.

As an older brother, he wouldn't stand by and watch his younger sister get into trouble.

"It's that rumor, isn't it—"

He said.

"No." Hachiman shook his head. "This matter has already been resolved."

"..." Manabu Horikita choked a little.

"Resolved?"

"Hmm." Hachiman nodded. "After all, it's just a class of idiots, so if we suppress them, they won't continue discussing it. And if the students in our class don't discuss it, it's pointless for other classes to discuss it either. After all, Horikita is in Class A now, so it's not embarrassing for you at all, is it?"

"Hehe." Manabu Horikita actually smiled.

Indeed.

He would be embarrassed if his sister were in Class D, but now that his sister's Class D has been promoted to Class A, he is not only not embarrassed, but even... well, he is very proud.

Because this school has never had a student from Class D promoted to Class A in its history.

Therefore, there is nothing shameful about doing something that is close to a miracle.

And.

"I think there's something you've been wrong about all along," he said. "Even if Suzune is always in Class D, without any outstanding qualities, and then she's maliciously slandered and rumors spread about her, I won't feel ashamed about it."

"Because I am her brother," Manabu Horikita said.

Is that so?

This was something Hachiman hadn't considered, but it's understandable.

Because he is also an older brother.

Even if Komachi did something stupid, he would still admit that it was his own doing.

In some ways, I am quite similar to Manabu Horikita.

So Manabu Horikita clearly noticed that he had come on business, but he asked about Suzune's situation first, probably because he was worried.

Thus, the rumors were barely put to rest.

Hachiman also assigned Horikita the task of creating the math exam for Class C. The requirement was quite simple: make it as difficult as possible.

On the other side...

On September 6th.

Hachiman took a bath and lay on the bed, but he didn't fall asleep.

Instead, he remembered that on the 2nd, Sakayanagi Arisu him to dinner, and that's when they went to pick out a birthday present for Masumi Kamuro.

Although they seem somewhat mismatched, it's surprising that Kamuro, despite being very tall and appearing quite independent, has a surprisingly girlish taste.

However, considering that Kamuro probably doesn't have many friends.

So perhaps only Sakayanagi would remember birthdays and such.

Hachiman then edited a text message and sent it to the other party.

Wishing the other person a happy birthday.

However, Kamuro did not reply quickly.

A few minutes later, the other party sent a message.

[What are you saying?] by Kamuro.

[Isn't today your birthday?]

[Who told you my birthday is in April?] by Masumi Kamuro.

Oh.

Oh, I see.

Huh?

Whose birthday is it today?

Chapter 194 Your Provocation, I Accept! 10k

According to Kushida's initiative in gathering information, the information obtained is that the entire school is taking written exams this month.

However, the scores for the exams are somewhat different.

Aside from the fact that in their first year, the winning side received 200 points in class evaluation from the losing side.

The second grader only gets 50 points, while the third grader gets 100 points.

In other words, with the entire school taking the written exam, places like the library and coffee shops started to get packed with people.

Everyone started going to school.

However, there are still classrooms available, so it's not inconvenient.

Although Hachiman wasn't in charge, Hirata was doing his best to turn the Yukimura. He gave orders to Kushida, Kushida, Matsushita, and Horikita to work together on the exam.

Each person is responsible for one or two doors.

However, after they prepared the exam papers, they all handed them to Suzune Horikita. They planned to submit them on the 21st, the final deadline.

This was also what Hachiman requested.
