Chapter 441

Occasionally, you'll notice Kamuro's strange behavior.

What are you doing?

In the afternoon, Hachiman went to the Shopping Street and ran into Masumi Kamuro. However, he didn't greet her, but watched her figure. He then saw Kamuro enter a restaurant, but come out shortly after the chef served the food.

Yes.

I didn't eat much before I came out.

Then, he turned around and went to another store.

It's still pretty much the same operation.

It seems they were only interested in the taste.

Don't you think that's a waste?

As she headed to the third shop, Hachiman finally made his move.

"It's not like I wanted to waste it," Kamuro said.

With a stern face, she took out a small notebook.

The above is a record table.

"Sakayanagi gave me a task these past two days," Kamuro said. "I'm to eat all the food in the Shopping Street."

"Did you receive complaints from students saying that a certain store was substandard?" Hachiman asked.

"No," Kamuro said. "She just wanted to know which restaurant was better."

Oh.

This is just how capricious Miss Sakayanagi is.

However, the food at the restaurants that Classmate Sakayanagi him to was quite good, so it seems that someone was doing research, and he just happened to run into that person today.

"Then can you give me the results after the investigation is completed?" Hachiman asked.

"?"

Kamuro immediately looked over warily.

"What do you want to do!"

"It's a holiday now," Hachiman said. "I've been busy with work lately, and I haven't been able to go to some of my classmates' invitations."

Oh, I see. It's because it's a holiday, so they want to enjoy their time off just like regular students.

Moreover, he is not short of money and can indeed arrange many dates.

"Whatever you want," Kamuro said. "But I still have several places to visit and want to know the results, so you can come and help me out."

"I'm a little too full to eat anymore."

"Okay." Hachiman had no objections.

So the two spent a busy afternoon.

Kamuro's research lasted for two days.

Thanks to this survey, Hachiman obtained a large number of shop lists.

He plans to reciprocate by inviting all those who invited him on this vacation back to him.

So if you only know one or two shops, you need to keep ordering food from there.

You'll get tired of it.

So Kamuro was a great help.

"Am I disturbing you?" Hachiman asked.

Sitting opposite him now is a girl with beautiful long silver-white hair, delicate features, and an elegant temperament.

Because she carries books with her, she's like a literary young woman.

And Shiina Hiyori is indeed a literary girl.

I could always see her at the library during holidays; she was practically the kind of person who stayed at the library all the time.

Her interests are also very broad; last year, she borrowed an astonishing 300 books from the library.

In other words, I'm digesting it at a rate of one book per day.

This doesn't even include her usual practice of spending her holidays in the library only looking at books and not borrowing them.

He is a true bookworm.

"No, no," Hiyori said politely. "I really enjoy reading, but I can't read all the time. So I want to change things up sometimes."

Is that so?

As long as I don't disturb the other person.

Of course, Hachiman doesn't understand girls, so he can't discern her inner thoughts.

Only.

"I saw that you applied to purchase books at the library yesterday," Hachiman said.

The Student Council has a lot of administrative authority, and most things need to be approved by it first.

So Hachiman saw that the library staff had compiled a list of book names that students had spontaneously requested to purchase.

He noticed that one of the applicants was named Hiyori Shiina.

"Oh, this—" Hiyori seemed a little embarrassed to say it.

However, he quickly added, "Actually, it's a book written by my father. It's not well-known, but if it could attract even one more reader, I think he would be very happy."

I see.

Hachiman decided to borrow the book once it arrived.

"By the way, Hachiman ever thought about writing at home in the future?" Hiyori Shiina asked.

Do you write at home?

Hachiman looked over, puzzled.

"Since Hachiman's life goal is to become a stay-at-home dad, but besides housework, he still has free time. Has he ever thought about becoming a writer part-time?"

To be a writer?

It seems pretty good.

"However, I don't think this kind of thing is really suitable for me," Hachiman said.

Because when it comes to writing novels, he probably writes some rather pessimistic things, such as something like "My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong As Expected".

"That's not necessarily true," Shiina said. "I think Hachiman has that kind of talent."

Forehead.

Does this mean he's been recognized?

When Hachiman looked at Shiina, he saw that the other person was staring at him with bright, affirming eyes.

Forehead.

Shiina looks like she's really looking forward to him...

And at this time.

"Hey, I was thinking, let's grab a drink here first, and then go see a movie together later."

"The newly released 'Your Name' is very popular right now. If you watch it first, Shinohara, you'll have something to talk about with Karuizawa and the others."

Um?

Hachiman and Hiyori both looked over at the same time.

Then I noticed that they were two students from First Year Class B, and both of them were considered popular students.

Because of the rumors Ichinose, other students were also harmed by the rumors.

Both of them are victims.

The boy is Kanji Ike, who is said to like chubby girls.

The girl was Satsuki Shinohara, and she was accused of being a prostitute.

At that time, Hachiman noticed that Ike seemed to Shinohara.

And now.

Have they already started proactively developing this business?

And.

Shinohara said that she could have things to talk about with Karuizawa and the others. Hachiman remembered that Karuizawa had indeed invited him to watch "Your Name" yesterday.

It turns out the other party had already seen it.

"Let's go to the movies... but if I go with you... will I..." Shinohara seemed unprepared.

"I admit that I did a lot of bad things in the past..."

"But... I will change..."

"I can..."

"Ah!" Just as Kanji Ike was about to make a confession, he suddenly realized that there was an acquaintance at the next table.

The person at the next table is Hachiman.

And he also remembered... that Hachiman Hikigaya knew about his confession to Kushida and subsequent heartbreak.

And now... he finally sees the truth and realizes that Kushida is definitely out of the question, so he's looking for someone else...

Result.

They were caught red-handed.

"What are you trying to say... Ugh! Why is Hachiman Hikigaya here?!"

Shinohara also noticed the person sitting next to her.

Then, just like Kanji Ike, he got up in a panic.

"You, did you all hear everything just now?"

"No," Hachiman said.

"Me neither," Hiyori said.

"..."X2

Who would believe that!

"Don't misunderstand!" Shinohara said immediately. "I ran into Ike by chance today; we didn't plan to meet up."

"Besides, how could I possibly associate with someone like that?" Shinohara, as if trying her best to distance herself from Ike.

"Huh? Right, right, right." Although Chi was surprised, he immediately said, "How could I possibly be with Shinohara?"

"So you really think so?"

However, this statement greatly displeased Shinohara.

"Isn't that what you said?" Chi asked, puzzled.

"It's over!"

However, Shinohara simply grabbed her bag, turned around, and left.

"What?!"

Chi was stunned, and waited for a minute before running out.

"It seems like they ruined a couple's relationship when it was just starting out," Shiina said.

"That's why I don't have a high opinion of relationships during school years," Hachiman said.

"..." Shiina.
