Hachiman's Meritocracy Classroom

That was because she had no idea her sister had stayed behind, nor did she know her sister was even more of a sister complex than he had imagined.

"Then I'll see you tomorrow at noon," Hachiman said to her, even giving her a little wave as if saying goodbye.

"Hachiman. Um... can this sort of waving goodbye be considered something friends do?" Yukino asked.

Huh?

Hachiman was somewhat surprised.

Had Yukino softened up on her own?

According to Miss Haruno, wasn't her little sister's heart supposed to be like solid ice?

And yet she was already beginning to melt?

"If you have a friend, your sister will definitely feel relieved," Hachiman said.

It seemed that anything involving her sister was a switch for Yukino Yukino.

Under Hachiman's gaze, Yukino seemed to subconsciously raise her hand, only to lower it again.

Then she awkwardly raised it once more.

And waved at him twice.

Yukino Yukino was a lonely person. She had no friends, so even something as simple as waving goodbye between friends was unfamiliar to her.

"See you tomorrow at noon," Hachiman said.

Then Hachiman waved at Yukino like a friend before walking straight ahead.

He had seen Horikita soften, discovered Yukino's vulnerable side when it came to her sister, and watched Yukino awkwardly wave at him.

Yet as he strode forward, Hachiman felt—

This was poison.

Or rather, Miss Haruno Yukino was being far too cruel.

P.S. Also, why haven't we gotten to the title yet?!
