Time passed.
These days, Himeno Yuki and others have been studying in the Sheep Shearing Club, and it seems that they have already been approved by Ichinose.
Hikigaya also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least apart from the first day.
Kobashi Yume and others are not just chatting, they are also studying hard.
Moreover.
In the field of science, they can ask questions at any time when they don't understand, and even if they don't ask, as long as they see him looking confused.
Kobashi Yume and Amikura Mako will take the initiative to help him clarify.
This really made Hikigaya feel flattered.
The past life seemed to be just a strict prohibition, and there was a strong sense of separation from the current life.
It's just too unreal.
At this moment.
Hikigaya was sitting at one end of the square table, while Himeno Yuki was sitting opposite, and Kobashi Yume and Himeno Yuki were sitting on the left and right respectively.
Although it's different from the initial position.
But it's just a change of seats, there's nothing strange about it.
Hikigaya looked up at the opposite side, and Himeno Yuki quickly lowered her gaze. No matter what she does, it's all Himeno Yuki's business.
He also has no intention of interfering with Himeno Yuki.
But this girl... is really good at pretending.
Kobashi Yume was a little curious: "I heard Kanzaki say that this club seems to be not busy, and it's okay to come or not?"
"Hmm."
Himeno Yuki explained weakly: "I'm just a ghost member, do you want to join, Yume-chan?"
"Um... I don't need it!"
Kobashi Yume shook her head: "Although it is indeed a good place to study, I still prefer to play outside on weekdays."
"Ghost members can also play outside, right?"
Amikura Mako frowned slightly and was a little confused: "Just like this, isn't it a bit wrong? You don't have to join the club and you can use points, will the school allow such a good thing?"
As soon as these words came out.
Several people looked up at Hikigaya.
"Uh."
"Every year, a club achievement report needs to be submitted. It seems that it is easier to establish a department, but it is difficult to continue."
"Moreover, it seems that there will often be student union people coming to check, so at least one person needs to be stationed here at ordinary times."
Feeling a bit boastful, Hikigaya said somewhat embarrassedly.
In fact.
Most of the participation in clubs is for interest and honor.
Sheep Shearing Club cannot participate in competitions.
Even if they participate.
The regular club members are definitely cannon fodder.
The direction of department funds also needs to be restricted, which can be avoided at any time but is still limited, and it is completely incomparable with the real personal points.
Apart from the five thousand personal points, and the ability to borrow this classroom.
There are no other attractive highlights.
"That's indeed a bit bad."
Kobashi Yume frowned: "Leaving one person here and letting others go out to play feels cunning."
"Yeah."
Amikura Mako also said that she couldn't do such a thing.
"So how long can the Sheep Shearing Club be used now?"
"Uh... if nothing unexpected happens, it should be usable until April of the third grade, right?"
Hikigaya is not very sure.
But the Sheep Shearing Club was established in April, the initial one year plus one year of reporting, it should be usable until the third grade.
"Eh? So Hikki has already submitted a report?"
Kobashi Yume was a little surprised.
Hikigaya glanced at Himeno Yuki, this guy really never talks about himself when he's with others.
It's normal that Kobashi Yume and others don't know.
"I guess so."
"What kind of report."
"Uh..."
Hikigaya explained the matter of selling books in detail again, just ignoring the existence of Himeno Yuki.
After all, Himeno Yuki doesn't speak.
He doesn't need to feel uncomfortable.
Since she likes to pretend, let her pretend, anyway, it has nothing to do with Hikigaya.
As long as Kobashi Yume and others ask, he will answer, and when there is no problem, he will honestly do the exercises.
"That's amazing!"
After listening, Amikura Mako's beautiful eyes sparkled, and Kobashi Yume was also somewhat surprised:
"Hikki's brain is really good, I didn't expect that there is such a loophole in the school, isn't it easy to save 20 million personal points? Why not continue?"
"It can't be done."
Hikigaya has been praised by these people and feels a bit awkward.
"Sooner or later I'll be discovered by people, and then this kind of loophole will definitely be fixed up, Beside I don't want to do this kind of laborious and low-yield work."
"Is that so..."
Kobashi Yume nodded immediately: "Hikki really has the style of an adult."
"Not really..."
"Then let's have a celebration banquet tomorrow!"
Kobashi Yume quickly entered the next topic: "Since the student union only checks occasionally, it's okay to be less for one day, so we won't come to the club tomorrow, just go to Parlett, and bring your own prepared dishes, how about it?"
"Good idea!"
Amikura Mako was immediately delighted, and Himeno Yuki had no objection.
"What about Hikki."
Kobashi Yume also looked happy: "In this case, you don't have to go back to prepare dinner, right?"
"..."
It's over.
These guys are serious
They really want to have a celebration banquet, and they have to bring homemade dishes.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have told those clumsy lies. Hikigaya was a bit regretful, but he really didn't want to go.
Ordinary people, if they refuse once or twice, they will never contact again.
Why can't these people's invitations be pushed away?
"I'm really sorry."
Hikigaya hurriedly apologized sincerely: "Actually, my cooking is only at the level of sixth grade in elementary school, or let's forget it?"
"Eh?"
Seeing this, Kobashi Yume was a bit puzzled:
"Isn't this normal? Except for those who join clubs because of interest, most boys' home economics classes should only be at the sixth-grade level, right?"
"Me too."
Himeno Yuki also nodded when she heard this, and said in a low voice: "And, those boys were messing around in elementary school."
"Yeah, I'm also at the level of sixth grade in elementary school."
Amikura Mako looked forward to it: "And it's rare to see boys who can cook, I haven't eaten a boy's cooking yet, I'm really looking forward to it~"
Hmm?
Is that so?
However, the home economics class in Japan is indeed more oriented towards girls, and boys are basically waving their spatulas around like swords.
Hikigaya also dreamed of becoming a househusband, and because he had no friends, he studied home economics honestly.
It seems.
No matter how you explain it.
In the eyes of Kobashi Yume and others, he is a very powerful person, thinking is too positive, right?
It feels like these people will be easily deceived in the future...
"That..."
Hikigaya scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit embarrassed:
"Can you stop praising me like this, actually I'm not as great as you imagine."
"Here we go again~"
Kobashi Yume fanned her little hand down a small degree and teased: "Hikki, being too modest will only make people feel hypocritical.
"Yeah."
Amikura Mako also shook her head and said, "Besides, we're just telling the truth, aren't we? We didn't praise you, did we?"
"Is that so..."
Hikigaya sighed lightly.
The implication was: Don't flatter yourself, it's simply disgusting.
If it were before, Hikigaya would definitely think so, and he still thinks so now, but it's just a little unclear.
Kobashi Yume and Amikura Mako.
Both of them either lack self-awareness in this regard, or their level is so high that he can't see it.
Hikigaya always keeps doubting.
But this feeling of being praised by others, apart from making people uncomfortable, doesn't seem to be bad.
"Then it's decided."
Kobashi Yume clapped her hands joyfully and said, "After school tomorrow, we will bring our homemade dishes to Palett for a meal!"
...
Dormitory building.
Back to the dormitory.
Hikigaya looked at the ingredients in the kitchen and fell into thought.
Should he prepare homemade dishes?
This is not just a cooking problem.
...
Because.
Having never been expected by others, Hikigaya is particularly sensitive to this.
Whether it's Kobashi Yume or Amikura Mako, whether it's pretending or sincere, this might be the feeling of being expected by others.
However.
The feeling of being expected by others is indeed not bad, but expectations will only get higher and higher until they disappoint.
Hikigaya finally understood Ichinose's situation.
It might be that Kobashi Yume and others like this, step by step, lifted her up.
Hikigaya can guarantee.
Next step.
Kobashi Yume and others will ask him about his views on the special exam, if he responds to their expectations.
Next step.
They will continue to ask him if he has a winning strategy.
Continue to meet their expectations.
Kobashi Yume and others might even go around praising, Hikigaya is really amazing and such words.
Unknowingly.
Hikigaya feels that he will become the leader of Class B.
They may not mean any harm, but this situation is very bad.
It even makes people feel helpless.
In ordinary schools.
This might be a very perfect class.
But in this school.
Class B, as a class that needs to compete, has not been running well at all.
People like Kobashi Yume and others unconsciously projected expectations on Ichinose, and kind Ichinose also wanted to desperately meet their expectations.
If they can keep going up to Class A, it's not bad.
But Hikigaya fully believes.
Once class B defeated.
Ichinose will inevitably be overwhelmed one day.
Although it is still in Class B now, and even Class A is only one step away, Hikigaya feels that the situation is very bad.
No.
Absolutely not.
Hikigaya doesn't want to be the leader of Class B, he doesn't want to be the next Ichinose.
Why should he work hard to lead a group of people who are not familiar at all to strive to rise to Class A.
What's more.
He doesn't have this strength!
Hikigaya made a decision with deep eyes and closed the refrigerator.
This meal.
He won't make it!
He can't meet Kobashi Yume and their expectations!
He wants to be a waste, only a waste can not be expected by others.
Why should they pass the pressure on to him!
No way!
