"Then let's get started."
After a simple greeting, the two groups separated again.
If it were usual, Kobashi Yume wouldn't mind having a gathering together on both sides.
But now.
She hasn't forgotten that she is on Himeno Yuki's side.
A few people just ordered a few simple coffees and started the study meeting.
"Then everyone."
Kobashi Yume opened her backpack, her face full of joy, "Let's count three two one, and take out the prepared dishes."
"That, I'm very sorry..."
Hikigaya apologized insincerely and told the truth, "I didn't prepare, and I don't cook much usually, I just eat instant noodles and toast."
Must be a waste.
No matter what, he can't satisfy Kobashi Yume and others' expectations, otherwise, the expectations will only intensify.
"Eh?"
Kobashi Yume was a bit surprised, put down her shoulder bag, and tears were spinning in her eyes.
"Why is this, didn't we agree?"
"That... I'm sorry..."
Damn it.
Junior high school girls don't cry, but their eyes are cold and ruthless, and their voices are so cold that they seem to freeze people.
How did it become like this when I got to high school?
Hikigaya really has no way to deal with this.
"Okay."
Seeing him apologize, Kobashi Yume turned from cloudy to sunny.
"Then let's eat ours first this time, Hikki must prepare well next time."
Is there a next time?
"No."
Hikigaya quickly raised his hand and said, "I really don't like it, let's forget it."
Huh?
Himeno Yuki glanced at him without a trace.
Although he knew Hikigaya's character a long time ago.
But he was fine yesterday, even if he lied, he took a step forward, why did he go back today?
It's really hard to pull, and I want to retreat a few steps from time to time.
Just don't pretend.
"So Hikigaya said that he has the cooking level of a sixth grader, is it also false?"
"This is true."
"Then if you don't like it, why do you still learn?"
Kobashi Yume frowned, like a curious baby.
"Because my dream is to be a househusband."
Hikigaya stopped pretending.
It's too tiring to chat with these fulfilled people, and he tried hard to show a loser attitude.
"Hmm?"
Not only Kobashi Yume and others in front of him, but even the five people in Class D next door were stunned at the same time.
"Hikki's dream is to be a househusband?"
Amikura Mako was somewhat astonished.
"Yes."
"Why, you're so excellent, why waste your talent?"
"..."
Hikigaya was somewhat speechless: "That's not the case, I was always laughed at and ostracized in junior high school, I'm really not as excellent as you imagine."
"No way, that's too fake."
Amikura Mako shook her head: "Hikki is handsome, has good grades, and has a steady personality. You should be a very popular type. How could you be ostracized?"
"..."
Ah
It's so tiring to talk to them, why don't they believe it?
'No.'
Hikigaya suddenly frowned.
Why did Ichinose easily believe his words, but Amikura Mako and others' thinking is always so positive.
It feels like.
Now Ichinose and Amikura Mako and others are somewhat incompatible.
The past of Kobashi Yume and others must have been very beautiful, just like flowers in a greenhouse, their thoughts are so positive.
But Ichinose can easily believe that he was ostracized in the past.
There is only one possibility, that is, Ichinose's past may not be very good, or the surrounding environment is not very good.
"Okay."
"Even if Hikki's dream is to be a househusband."
Kobashi Yume was somewhat puzzled: "Why don't you like cooking? Cooking is a necessary skill for a househusband."
"Not at all."
Hikigaya crossed his arms: "The real housewives only give their husbands five hundred yen, and then they take their husband's money to eat and drink outside. I want to become that kind of househusband!"
"..."
Himeno Yuki on the side slightly opened her mouth.
Already stunned.
I didn't expect this guy to really dare to say it. Just in such a public place, he said such a bad thing.
This is too cool and brave.
Aren't you afraid of social death tomorrow?
"Hehe."
At this time, a sneer came from the table next door.
Yukimura was doing his homework:
"I really didn't expect such a person to be assigned to Class B, I really don't know how can you are assigned to Class B."
However.
The blue veins on the back of his hand due to exertion have already shown that Yukimura is not doing well, deeply feeling the injustice of the school.
Most likely another type of top student like Kaneda.
"What do you mean?"
Kobashi Yume and Amikura Mako immediately looked a little dissatisfied with that side.
"What? Did I say something wrong?"
Yukimura, who was sitting on the outside, turned his body and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose:
"The dream of being a househusband is what he said himself. From your conversation just now, this man not only has no ambition, but also lies all the time. He wants to apologize for the perfunctory things he promised."
"I really can't see what about him is excellent."
"Miyatchi, why are you pulling me."
Yukimura looked back in confusion, looking at Miyake Akito with a full face of embarrassment, only to find that he was looking at Sakura Airi across the table with embarrassment.
"What, did I say something wrong?"
Yukimura frowned and carefully recalled the conversation of several people just now.
The evidence is clear, the reasoning is reasonable.
There's nothing wrong with it.
How can such a person be excellent?
Glasses guy, really intimate.
Hikigaya couldn't help but nod.
This is the perspective of a normal person, the thinking of Kobashi Yume and Amikura Mako is really too positive.
"That's not the matter."
Kobashi Yume stood up, her snow-white hand stroking the table as she looked across.
"Although it's indeed difficult for a man's dream of becoming a househusband to be accepted by the public, having any kind of dream is an individual's right."
"Mocking other people's dreams is just a sign of poor quality. Although lying is indeed wrong, there are also white lies in the world."
"And everyone lies, there are always occasions where one must lie. Making fun of this only shows a lack of self-awareness."
"Not keeping a promise is indeed wrong, but it could also be that I didn't properly respect the other person's thoughts. This is just a lack of communication."
"Hikki chose a gentle lie just to take care of my feelings. Mocking this only shows that you are self-centered."
"Uh..."
Hikigaya's mouth was slightly open, he was simply stunned.
He could only feel his cheeks getting a bit hot.
He was somewhat embarrassed by what was said, he didn't think that way.
It's over.
Kobashi Yume was too cool.
He just said about his dream.
Yet two completely different thoughts appeared between them.
And in essence, there was only one conclusion.
Class D is always considering themselves, while Class B is always considering others.
Hikigaya was a bit puzzled.
How did he end up in Class B?
Could it be that he was always considering others? But he was just trying to avoid causing trouble for others.
Although he couldn't be described as selfish,
Hikigaya felt that he should be considered selfish, right?
"What did you say?"
Yukimura's face was red with anger, she was left speechless.
After all.
The other party's logic was also sound.
This only shows that there is indeed some core difference between them.
And Miyake Akito and Hasebe Haruka, who were by her side, also didn't look too good.
Because.
Their view of Hikigaya was the same as Yukimura's.
Didn't this mean they were also scolded?
But after looking at Sakura Airi, the two of them really couldn't understand how Sakura could like such a person.
Apart from the super straight man Yukimura, the two of them saw it at a glance.
"Yukicchi."
Miyake pulled Yukimura's arm, and Hasebe quickly stood up and said:
"Sorry, Yukicchi just really wants to move up to Class A, he got a bit excited, sorry for the trouble."
"Wait a minute."
Yukimura turned her head and looked at the two of them somewhat unconvinced:
"Why should we apologize to them? Even if his reasons make sense, I didn't say anything wrong, maybe that's what he thinks."
Presumably.
Yukimura's grades must be very good, the more rational people are, the less they like to lose in logic.
"Don't be angry."
Hikigaya also felt a bit embarrassed: "What Yukimura said is not wrong, I didn't take it to heart, let's continue doing the questions."
He felt that if they continued, they would start fighting over this little thing.
It's really not worth it.
And the two classes are still in a cooperative relationship...
To be honest.
Hikigaya really didn't expect.
That Kobashi Yume and Amikura Mako would actually stand up for him, it's definitely not just superficial politeness, but they really regard him as a friend...
Even though they've only known each other for a few days.
In contrast.
This woman with a bad personality by his side, is really too unkind.
"Alright."
Kobashi Yume looked at Hasebe Haruka and apologized: "Sorry, we also got a bit excited just now, we said some unpleasant things, we're really sorry."
"No need, no need..."
After the two sides started the classic Japanese apology, they sat back down.
"Yuki-chan, were you scared just now?"
Kobashi Yume held Himeno Yuki's hand, her face full of worry.
"I'm fine."
Himeno Yuki shook her head slightly, "Actually, I'm a bit angry too, just a bit scared, sorry, Hikki."
"Oh, it's okay."
Hikigaya said indifferently.
If there were no others around, and if Himeno Yuki was really angry, Hikigaya fully believed that she would probably punch him directly.
"Then let's start."
Kobashi Yume smiled again, taking out a bag of cookies from her bag:
"Then this time let Hikki taste our cooking, see who makes the best."
"Okay, I've been learning with Honami-chan for a long time, I won't lose to you guys this time."
"I also made cookies."
The three of them each took out a few bags of small cookies that looked like the real thing, just slightly different in shape.
After all, it's something to eat in a cafe, it needs to be convenient, tasty, easy to store, carry, and many other factors.
Cookies should be the easiest thing to think of.
Therefore, the three of them coincidentally clashed, but no one cared, they divided the cookies into several small plates and placed them in the middle of the table.
"Alright, Hikki, try it quickly."
"No need..."
Hikigaya hesitated, "I'm not making anything, so it's not good to eat your things like this."
"Don't mind, don't mind, try it quickly."
Kobashi Yume excitedly pushed the three plates of cookies in front of him, excitedly saying:
"Just say who's the best after a while."
"Alright."
It was really hard to refuse, Hikigaya simply tried it, their cooking was not very outstanding, but it was not bad.
It can only be said... average level, he can also make it.
But thinking that they were all novice cooking by girls, and they didn't charge money, Hikigaya inexplicably felt that the cookies in his mouth were a bit sweeter.
"Alright, Hikki, who do you think makes the best?"
"Um... it should be..."
Just then,
A somewhat dissatisfied voice came from next door.
"If you guys want to play house, can you go somewhere else, you are affecting other people's study."
Yukimura looked this way, somewhat dissatisfied.
"That..."
Himeno Yuki really couldn't stand it, she said weakly, "I think the cafe should be a place where chatting is allowed."
How can this four-eyed guy be so annoying.
"I'm talking about them."
Yukimura looked at the corner of the cafe, somewhat dissatisfied.
Upon hearing this, Kobashi Yume and the others looked over, several boys were staring at this direction.
From the beginning.
Hikigaya felt the gaze of several people.
Sakayanagi's pressure did not stop, it was just that they had been in the little-known Sheep Shearing Club before they didn't meet.
But Hikigaya didn't care much either.
Kobashi Yume and the others were also prepared early, and they didn't care either.
But feeling the pressure of such a gaze, Yukimura and the others next door would feel uncomfortable, which is normal.
It's purely because they were implicated.
"Or should we go back?"
Hikigaya said.
"We just came here, how could we go back, let's change the place?"
Kobashi Yume also didn't want to trouble others, this was indeed their problem, the other two also nodded in agreement.
"Bang."
Just as they were about to leave, a white disposable plastic cup rolled onto the aisle, and a pair of brown leather shoes stepped directly on it.
