The Unusual Side of People We Usually Know! (Continued)

Is that so?

So, the other person has indeed updated their opinion of her.

Waaah.

But that would be too cruel for Asahina.

"But you were crying from the pain, so let's go to the infirmary," Hachiman Hikigaya added. "Can you walk now? If not, should I carry you there?"

Hug, hold me?

Undeniably, Asahina was momentarily moved.

But she quickly shook her head.

Because I could already picture myself being Matoba by the other person, and since I was being carried, I could definitely see their profile. And I could also picture them trying to move.

And thinking about it this way... wow

Does that mean I can only refuse with a blush on my face?

Because.

She definitely won't be able to adapt to this kind of contact.

She might blush so much that a clever junior would discover her feelings. If her feelings are discovered before any foundation of affection has been laid, the chances of a failed confession are quite high.

Then.

Hachiman Hikigaya helped the other person up and led them to the infirmary.

The haunted Matoba chosen by the senior students was located close to the infirmary. According to Asahina, some people might be scared and not feel well, so having the infirmary nearby made them feel more at ease.

As it turned out, his words came true.

Now she's the first to experience the advantage of having an infirmary right next to the haunted house.

"You sprained your ankle, but luckily there's no fracture," the female doctor in the infirmary said. "I'll treat you now, and you'll need to rest for the next few days."

In other words, Asahina-senpai will not be able to participate in and help out at tomorrow's Cultural Festival as originally planned.

How pitiful.

The doctor added, "Also, if the injury is sudden, it's best not to move immediately, but to remain in the position where the injury occurred and avoid unnecessary movement."

"So you guys were just lucky, otherwise you might have been injured a second time."

In other words, Asahina her feet in the Hachiman Hikigaya house actually violated common medical knowledge.

"But, but I'm fine right now," Asahina said quickly. "So Hachiman Hikigaya didn't do anything wrong."

"Oh?" The doctor glanced at Asahina and Hachiman Hikigaya several times, then immediately realized that he was being a bit redundant. So he left Asahina some ice packs and told her to stay there for an hour to apply the cold compresses before turning around and leaving.

"What I said just now was true." As the doctor left, Asahina didn't act like the little girl who cried in the haunted house, but instead showed the aura of an upperclassman.

"I don't blame Hachiman Hikigaya. On the contrary, I was just grateful for his help."

"So even if there's some secondary harm, I won't blame you. I can tell the difference," Asahina said.

That's for sure.

After all.

She received real help at that time, and if her junior encountered setbacks here, it would definitely hinder his enthusiasm for helping others in the future.

But Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head.

"I've learned a lesson today," Hachiman said. "It was my oversight. If I had caused secondary harm to my senior, or even serious injury, I'm afraid I would have had to bear the responsibility for the rest of my life."

"No, Hachiman Hikigaya, you really don't need to think so much... After all, whoever it was at that time..."

Asahina resisted his act of self-reflection, but only managed to stop him halfway through.

Wait a moment.

She seemed to have just heard something incredible.

"Wait a minute, Hachiman Hikigaya," Asahina said. "You just said that if irreversible damage occurs here, and then you..."

"For example, the senior might break a bone, or she might become lame in the future," Hachiman Hikigaya finished, completing what he hadn't said before. "Then I should take responsibility."

Is that so?

In other words, Hachiman Hikigaya, you are actually a very responsible person, or rather, a responsible eccentric.

But.

Such words.

"Could you say it again?" Asahina asked.

"Eh? You can say that..." Hachiman looked at the senior with beautiful orange hair and a sunflower hair clip with some curiosity.

Although I feel that the current state of the senior is somewhat dangerous, it is somewhat similar to the state of the Ichika Amasawa.

However, he can still meet this requirement now.

And that's really what they think.

People who have been caught in the rain will think about holding an umbrella for others.

Before entering this school, Hachiman himself had been hit by a car and injured his leg, requiring hospitalization.

Fortunately, there were no lasting effects.

In the future, it may affect not only interpersonal relationships, but also one's own convenience.

This was Hachiman's idea.

However, Asahina is also facing a dilemma.

Because.

Even if the junior student repeats it again, she still records it... because she was thinking about playing the role of a female ghost, so she didn't bring her phone.

I didn't bring my phone!

Does that mean it's impossible to record it at all, not even as a keepsake?

After returning from Asahina-senpai, who had suddenly become withdrawn, Hachiman- Kiryuin-senpai, who seemed to be scouting but actually wanted to experience the Cultural Festival ahead of time.

"Asahina is injured?"

"It doesn't seem like something she would do."

"And is the human body really that fragile?"

Is the human body really that fragile? Or rather, you guys are just too incredible.

Hachiman always felt that Kiryuin Fuka was a female version of Kōenji, both belonging to the same type as the non-human creature.

In contrast to these monsters.

During his subsequent investigation, Hachiman didn't encounter any strange people.

Then he returned to his class's headquarters.

But.

Something seems amiss.

Because.

"Ah, doesn't this outfit look strange?" Shiina's voice came over. Even without seeing her in person, you could tell that she was trying on clothes, constantly turning her body to check whether the clothes suited her or not.

Certainly.

Hiyori is usually very quiet, so her current lack of confidence is quite unusual.

That's why, isn't it?

Hachiman observed the girls in his class. They were all of average appearance, and apart from Shiina, none of them were particularly beautiful, which was refreshing.

But.

The girls' uniforms still drew a lot of attention.

Because.

Their uniforms are very eye-catching.

She gives off the vibe of a shopkeeper or a Taisho-era maid.

"I can't really accept it, because this outfit is so weird." That was Ibuki's voice coming from the classroom.

Even without seeing Ibuki's face, one can imagine that she must be making an angry expression like [○?`Д'? ○].

"But if you say that, wouldn't that be negating yourself, Ibuki?" Hiyori's voice rang out.

"..." Ibuki was speechless.

To some extent, Shiina often says she has no friends, but Hachiman always felt that she and Ibuki had a pretty good relationship.

Certainly.

The main reason is that Ibuki is a reliable person with an easy-to-understand personality. She is also good at fighting, so with a little effort, she can be hired very cheaply.

It's very convenient.

From this perspective, humans are truly despicable.

First, categorize people as either useful or not, then consider whether you need to make any contributions, and how much you should contribute.

But because he doesn't want to become that kind of person, Hachiman has been recruiting friends.

Even Hirata can only be considered 70% of his friends.

The remaining 30% is Hachiman felt the other party was very convenient.

And this kind of friendship is definitely not true friendship.

Hachiman is very aware of this.

Hachiman continued walking forward.

This is the classroom.

Because Ryuen's class had already planned to inflate their sales figures, and they also planned to use intimidation, as well as playing the victim to trick acquaintances or less familiar, less intelligent people into spending money.

So it's a one-off deal.

Therefore, there is naturally no need to rent Matoba that costs money.

Since their own classroom was on the first floor, it was perfect, so they used it as the Matoba the maid café of the Ryuen's class, which was set up in a kimono-themed building.

You can see many dining tables that have already been set up.

"Speaking of which, putting aside how strange this outfit is, Shiina, do you think it's hard to wear?" Ibuki continued.

"No, no, no, I was asking about how to wear these clothes, whether they're suitable or not..." Hiyori's voice continued.

It's obvious.

Although I participated in the procurement of these uniforms.

However, Shiina seems to lack some self-confidence.

Hachiman has recently become accustomed to this from Sakura.

And you, Shiina, are like that too?

Indeed.

Honestly, it's completely unimaginable to think of a literary young woman like her working as a maid or something.

One can imagine that even if Shiina were to change into a maid outfit, she would probably just stay in a corner, as if the surrounding noise had nothing to do with her.

And that's what I was thinking.

Hachiman walked into the classroom.

Although it was only girls' voices that came from inside, the classroom door was open, and there were other girls in the hallway as well.

Therefore, it should not be Matoba men are prohibited from entering.
