COTE: Broadcast of Hikigaya Hachiman

Chapter 13

　　Sakayanagi smiled back, and under everyone's gaze, she slowly extended her hand.

　　When Hikigaya saw the slender little hand in front of him, he stood there in confusion for a moment.

　　Sakayanagi tilted her head like a fairy and asked in a very innocent tone:

　　"Why, am I not pretty enough?"

　　"Well, if I must say..."

　　Feeling the vicious gazes from the boys in Class D, the boy now just wanted to escape from here as quickly as possible.

　　He took a deep breath, took the girl's slender hand, and left quickly under the gaze of everyone.

　　Only the girl's playful expression was still fixed on Hikigaya's face.

　　Class D at this moment...

　　Sudo: "What on earth are those guys trying to do?!"

　　ike: "With a beautiful woman as a companion and a big brother to protect him, who would be treated like this upon entering school? What's wrong with him? Have you talked to him?"

　　Faced with ikei's question, everyone just shook their heads helplessly.

　　It's embarrassing to say this, we are classmates in the same class, and no matter how unfamiliar we are, we should not have never spoken to each other.

　　Hirata Yosuke sighed helplessly. He was almost facing collapse just now. What happened before was about to happen again. At that time, it was Hikigaya, who was at the center of the storm, who saved him.

　　He must have seen through it a long time ago...but why did he do this?

　　I am obviously not his friend, and I didn't do the things he asked me to do before.

　　If I had handled it better at that time and controlled the disciplinary violations in the class, the subsequent series of behaviors would probably not have happened. In the final analysis...Yosuke Hirata just thinks that he did not do well enough.

　　Hikigaya saved him, there was no doubt about that.

　　At that time, although he was being criticized, he was the calmest person in the class. At that time, he was still paying attention to the mood of every classmate in the class. Such a person...no matter what, he cannot be allowed to leave Class D.

**

　　[Miura: "Why do you care about those guys' feelings at a time like that? They're scolding you like that."]

　　[Hikigaya: "I don't know. Maybe it's because I inherited the fine tradition of the Service Club... After all, everyone in this school seems to have flaws to some extent. Although I know I don't have the ability to help everyone, but... when something happens to me, I still can't help but help."]

　　[Miura: "I say, you are actually a very gentle guy..."]

　　[Yuigahama: "Yes, yes, Aki is very gentle. Yumiko, you have also discovered it."]

　　[Miura: "It's hard not to notice it now. After all, this guy is the kind of idiot who is willing to sacrifice himself for others..."]

　　[Ebina just smiled. Come to think of it, she had been saved by him before... She already knew his gentleness.]

　　[Just, gentle? Hikigaya doesn't think so. ]

　　[He saved many people, but also hurt many people, like Tsurumi Rumi...]

　　[And... there are people he must save, people he must be responsible for... Yukinoshita Yukino, the relationship between them must be properly resolved one day. ]

　　There is no Hikigaya in Class D...

　　Chabashira looked at the two people walking away, and listened to the discussions that were still going on in the class, and sighed softly.

　　She has been longing to be promoted to Class A for a long, long time, and now, the opportunity is right in front of her. If Hikigaya really becomes a member of another class, it will be too late by then.

　　She was well aware that she could not control this boy, not even someone as strong as Sakayanagi could. Fortunately, she knew that the boy did not want to leave Class D for the time being. As long as he had this, there was still a chance to deepen the bond between the boy and the class.

　　Although this year's Class D is still terrible, compared to previous classes, it is indeed the one with the greatest hope.

　　"Bang, bang…"

　　Although it was already time for the get out of class to end, according to the rules, she was not the class teacher, but just an ordinary staff member in the school.

　　So, even if the class members ignored her, nothing would happen. Fortunately... everyone still focused their attention on Chabashira Sae.

　　In their hearts, although Chabashi Sae did not tell them the unspoken rules of this school, these are the school rules after all, so they will not develop strong resentment because of them.

　　Chabashira Sae changed her previous indifference, and this time... she was determined to keep Hikigaya here no matter what.

　　"I believe you are already clear about the rules of this school. Just as ryuuen said, both classes and points play an irreplaceable role in this school."

　　"You came to this school because of the so-called 100% admission rate and employment rate, but I'm sorry to tell you that even this is a lie... If you can't keep up with the pace of this school, you will be expelled, and in the end... only the two top classes A and B will get the resources, and Class CD will just be abandoned."

　　"In the end, you can spend three years of high school like this, but after that, you will have nothing. On the contrary... being promoted to AB class and graduating with a huge number of points will determine your life to a certain extent."

　　The words have been made clear to this point. As a teacher, she has done her best. If you still don't understand the meaning, you might as well drop out.

　　"My suggestion, as D Class's homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae, is to keep Hikigaya in D Class. He will be of great use to you in getting promoted to A Class. Presumably, this is why Classes A and C are fighting so hard for him."

　　Yamauchi was a little puzzled, so he stood up and asked:

　　"Is it possible to change classes in this school? If so, I can just transfer to Class A in my senior year."

　　Chabashi Sae glanced at Yamauchi coldly, as if he was a fool.

　　"I told you, right at the beginning of the school year, that points can buy everything in this school, and the same goes for changing classes. However... if you want to change classes, you'll need about three quarters of the points of the entire class combined."

　　"!!!"

　　There was a sigh in the class.

　　ike "Three quarters of the class points, just for a marginal figure, isn't that too much?"

　　Horikita Suzune also looked at him like a fool and said:

　　"Guess why they chose Hikigaya instead of you."

　　ikei: "Maybe they don't know my charm yet."

　　Sudo: "To make them pay such a high price, unless the value is far higher than the literal points, otherwise, as long as they stay in Class A, it will be difficult for us to catch up."

　　At this time, it was Sudo's answer that was somewhat surprising.

　　He is commonly known as one of the three useless people. When the first two useless people made such stupid remarks, he was the only one who remained rational, which really made people like him more.

　　Sudou's analysis makes sense. If the value is not far higher than the points, they will not give up the position of Class A so easily.

　　Hirata Yosuke finally returned to normal and slowly stood up.

　　The backbone of the class regained his smile.

　　"Let's all apologize to Hikigaya-san. Just like Chabashira-sensei said, I don't want our class to fall apart in less than a month. I hope that no one can fall behind and we can move forward in a better direction."

　　Hearing Hirata Yosuke's call, Kushida Kikyo also stood up and echoed:

　　"I think what Hirata said is right. We all misunderstood him. Not only did he not blame us, but he also continued to sacrifice himself for our class. So, we should all apologize sincerely."

　　With the voices of the two backbones, more and more people agreed with their proposal. Even Sudo, who was usually very rebellious, agreed. After all, he did say some excessive words at that time.

　　Of course, not everyone agrees.

　　Although they did not refute it on the surface, people like Matsushita ,Hasebe, Sakura Airi, and koenji, who had never used this to attack Hikigaya, still felt uncomfortable with this inexplicable apology.

　　Of course, Airi doesn't care, and Gaoyuan Temple will never apologize. The only people who care are... those who think they have done nothing wrong.

　　Although the current class is still far from true unity, and is a world apart from Class B led by Ichinose, Chabashi Sae couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly when he looked at the people in front of him.

　　She folded her arms across her chest and slowly walked out of the classroom.

　　"It's amazing...Hikigaya Hachiman...he changed the entire D class by himself."

　　"This kind of performance really makes me more curious about what you will do in the future..."

　　'This school is much more interesting than ordinary schools...'

　　Chabashira Sae is just a bystander... Even at this moment, she has decided to be just a bystander.

　　On the other side, Hikigaya held the slender hand of the silver-haired fairy and slowed down his pace after leaving Class D.

　　"How gentle... HIKKI."

　　"I told you not to call me that... I'm not gentle."

　　"It was fascinating to see him notice my cramped legs and deliberately slow down his pace."

　　"Anyone can find out about this kind of thing, so stop teasing me."

　　Sakayanagi still had that playful smile on her face, and Hikigaya had already noticed that.

　　"Then let's find a place to sit for a while..."

　　The girl changed her playful expression and turned into an innocent look, as if in her eyes, this was just a simple date.

**

　　[Service Club...]

　　[Hikigaya suddenly felt a resentful gaze coming towards him...]

　　['What's going on? Is it snowing? Why is it so cold...']

　　[Isshiki: "It's so cold, Senior. What's going on..."]

　　[Yukinoshita: "Who knows... maybe winter will be here soon."]

　　[Hikigaya: "Hey, it's only summer, how come it's winter already? You're just..."]

　　[When he looked at Yukinoshita, Hikigaya seemed to understand something and even stopped talking. ]

　　['Artificial snow... No wonder it's so cold.']

　　[Yuigahama: "It seems that you are lying when you say you are unwelcome, hikki. There are so many people protecting you when you get there."]

　　[Hikigaya: "It's just a video, it's just a video..."]

　　[Yukinoshita: "Oh? It feels good to date a silver-haired girl like this."]

　　[Hikigaya: "I wasn't listening at all..."]

**

　　Under Sakayanagi's guidance, Hikigaya and she came to a green park.

　　Although he has been in this school for nearly a month, he rarely goes out on weekends and has never seriously visited the school.

　　In other words, even those who are very familiar with this school seem to have never known this place. After all, in this huge park, there are only Hikigaya and Sakayanagi.

　　Because it was lunch time, Sakayanagi took out the carefully prepared lunch from her backpack. The moment she opened the lunch box, even Hikigaya was a little surprised.

　　Although she looks like a young lady, her cooking skills are not bad at all, and can even be said to be above average.

　　Seeing Hikigaya's stunned expression, Sakayanagi just smiled faintly and said:

　　"Just like you thought, I seldom cook, but I'm not completely incapable of it."

　　"Don't read my mind as if nothing happened."

　　"Well... after you finish eating, please give me some feedback."

　　The silver-haired fairy handed a pair of chopsticks to Hikigaya, but the boy looked at the chopsticks in front of him and was stunned again.

　　"Is it for me to eat?"

　　"After all, it was my invitation, so taking care of Hikki is certainly within my scope."

　　Hikigaya could not see any lie in the girl's eyes. It seemed that she was just inviting him to have lunch together.

　　"I have a friend who was very naive. His friend invited him to dinner, but he didn't know that he had fallen into his friend's trap. Then, in order to repay the favor, he became a free laborer."

　　"That friend is you."

　　"Are you stupid? You're my friend."

　　The girl giggled and then said:

　　"It's just a normal lunch, that's all."

　　"I won't use this method to threaten you, hikki."

　　Hikigaya decided to trust the other person again. Although the girl in front of him was a little scary, he did not feel any malice from her.

　　Moreover, this lunch looks really tempting.

　　By the way, I have never eaten a girl's bento. Even when I was in Sobu High School, most of the time I just ate snacks, or the bento made by Komachi.

　　However, this was the first time that Hikigaya tried a girls' bento other than Komachi's.
