Hikigaya wants to be a novelist

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Hikigaya made up his mind



Hikigaya Hachiman seemed to have used up all his courage just to step into the classroom .

He walked into the classroom with his head held high . The scene that Hikigaya imagined himself becoming the laughing stock of the whole class did not happen. He was still the little transparent one. He walked quickly to his seat and sat down, secretly observing the class.

First up is Kaori Orimoto , who is always the loudest and the most eye-catching. At this moment, she is laughing and joking with a few girl friends by the window as usual. For a small group of students like this to maintain a stable relationship for a long time, topics that everyone is interested in are the most important. So now, what topic is the most explosive and everyone is definitely interested in for Kaori Orimoto, the initiator of this small group?

The answer has come to you.

" Ah! Hikigaya-san, you're here! "

Orimoto walked towards Hikigaya Hachiman enthusiastically. Her loud voice quickly attracted the attention of the whole class. As for her girl friends, they smiled at Hachiman without disguising themselves. Sure enough, they had already known what happened last night from Orimoto. But this was not a smile of ridicule or amusement, but a smile of pure thought that Hikigaya was very interesting.

" It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over ..."

Hikigaya cried out in grief in his head.

As a person with 20 years of life experience in his previous life, Hikigaya knows that compared with the rapid growth of the body, the mental development of junior high school students has not kept up, and emotional intelligence is still in the training stage. Unconscious, subconscious, harmless, and even some behaviors that are considered to be kind may cause spiritual harm to the other party and have irreversible consequences.

It is under such circumstances that many students unconsciously become participants in school bullying.

" Ahaha ... what's the matter, classmate Orimoto? Look, the teacher is coming soon, why don't you go back to your seat ..."

Let's delay it as long as possible. The whole class is watching us now. If Orimoto reveals what happened last night at this time, it will be completely ruined. Damn it! Hikigaya Hachiman thought desperately.

However, Orimoto seemed not to have heard Hikigaya's words at all, and continued to speak to Hikigaya in the high-spirited voice of a junior high school girl.

" Hey, how did you come up with the idea of sending me a love poem yesterday? I didn't expect you to be so romantic. "

The students in the class were already preparing for the class, and this sentence was like Faceless Void's ultimate move, freezing all the students in place, unable to move, except for Orimoto who was using her skill.

" By the way, when I first saw the email last night, I didn't know what you meant. I looked up the sentence you sent on the Internet and then I understood. It turns out that this poem was written by Dazai Osamu. I haven't read his works, and I thought he was a person who only spread emo emotions . It seems that I should read his books too. "

Orimoto-san continued to speak rapidly.

Dazai Osamu is indeed not an emo guy as people imagine, but Hikigaya Hachiman is really about to become emo now .

" Don't talk about it ... Don't talk about it ..."

At this time, Hikigaya could only shake his head mechanically.

Even with the experience from his previous life, Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't handle the current situation. Did Orimoto Kaori have any bad intentions? Not only that, she was even fulfilling what she said in her reply last night, " to get to know Hikigaya better . " She also took the initiative to ask to read Dazai Osamu, a typical way of starting a conversation by finding a common topic. If the introduction to this conversation wasn't last night's confession, it would be perfect.

" What are you all chattering about? Go back to your seats, class is about to start. "

Hikigaya didn't like this Chinese teacher, but at this moment his voice made him happy.

Although the storm was delayed slightly by the start of class, Hikigaya had at least one class period to think of countermeasures.

" ..."

Hikigaya found that he was overthinking and couldn't calm down to think. During the class, one or more pairs of eyes would occasionally look at Hikigaya.

Kaori Orimoto was the catalyst of the class atmosphere. At this stage of junior high school, many boys, like Hikigaya, had developed a vague feeling for Orimoto. Their eyes showed admiration, curiosity, jealousy, and so on.

Hikigaya wanted to slap his former self more and more. You could confess to anyone else, even just fall in love with a guy, why did you fall in love with such a person like Orimoto Kaori?

This class was not long at all. As soon as the bell rang, the teacher ran away. He was very ruthless and Hikigaya hated him even more.

As expected, Orimoto came over again , but the difference was that this time many other students also came over curiously, wanting to hear some explosive news.

" You're awesome, Hikigaya! "

" I didn't expect that you would do something so big without making any noise. "

These are male classmates that I am not familiar with on a regular basis.

" Hey Hikigaya, can you please repeat that love poem? I want to be more romantic, too. "

" Kaori is a good girl. You should be more focused in the future, Hikigaya. Hahahahaha. "

These are Kaori's best friends.

" ..."

Fortunately, the new Hikigaya was mentally stronger than the original one, and there was no malice in his words, so the first day after the failed confession passed in a noisy manner.

However , the malice of junior high school students does not need too long to ferment.

When they confessed to Orimoto and were rejected , several boys took their anger out on Hikigaya in order to hide their disappointment and prevent themselves from becoming the target of public criticism. They thought that Hikigaya Hachiman, who was ordinary and had no sense of existence, lowered Orimoto's evaluation of boys. They also found that Hikigaya took the same route home as another girl in the class every day (in fact, they just took the same route for a while, and he would even deliberately keep a long distance from that girl to avoid misunderstandings), so they spread rumors privately that Hikigaya had fallen in love with someone else and was a stalker. Such gossip was extremely popular in the small circle of junior high school students, and everyone knew it after a few days.

... ...

The new Hikigaya came into this world, and the situation around him is even worse than before.

" God gave me a chance to start over, but apart from being able to walk, how am I different from my previous life? I am still lonely, misunderstood, and discriminated against. "

On a dark and windy night, Hikigaya Hachiman was lying on his bed, thinking while being emo .

" Misunderstandings are hard to eliminate because they are purely out of malice. Everything they do is to ruin your reputation. Junior high school students lack judgment and it is difficult to convince them with reason. If the situation cannot be reversed, the same situation will occur when they enter high school. So there is only one way left ..."

In his previous life, Hikigaya wanted to be a writer, not only because he loved reading, but more because creative professions such as writers have a very high status in Japan.

Many Japanese people look down on the second dimension, believing that comics and the like are cancerous and that people who are addicted to comics and animation are hopeless. However, they do not discriminate against cartoonists. A cartoonist who can serialize in magazines and publish single volumes will be respected as a " teacher " . This is the difference that the identity of a creator brings to them.

If Hikigaya can become a recognized writer, he will naturally gain respect. This is not only to solve the current problem, but also for the sake of his life in the next few decades.

" I want to be a writer. "

Hikigaya made up his mind.
