The day is over.
Hikigaya returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed.
Just being kissed.
It didn't seem like anything, and it was still a kiss on the cheek.
I heard that there are tradition such as kissing on the face in foreign countries. Maybe Hoshinomiya has had the experience of studying abroad before.
Nothing to worry about.
The key issue is still Ichinose.
He doesn't know why.
Thinking of Class B after school, Hikigaya felt a little uncomfortable and said that she would not come to school tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
That would be a real headache.
"Ding dong..."
At this moment, the doorbell rang. Hikigaya walked to the entrance in slippers and looked at the door through the peephole.
Ichinose stood outside the door with his hands clasped forward and his pretty face bitter.
Squeak.
"that..."
Hikigaya quickly opened the door and sorted out his words.
I originally wanted to say that I was finally willing to come out, or to ask if everything was okay, but something felt wrong.
Although he controlled the rumors.
But Ichinose Honami has been adjusting himself, and maybe the other party just left the room after adjusting.
maybe.
Sh also caused a lot of trouble to the other party.
Ichinose was able to leave the room because of his help.
This idea is somewhat presumptuous.
finally.
"Oh, Ichinose, what's the matter?"
Hikigaya asked in a relaxed tone.
but.
If he could have come out, Ichinose would have come out long ago. It must have been because of him that he left the dormitory.
Defending Ichinose without authorization.
This idea seems a bit self-righteous.
Having said that, how should he face Ichinose? Thinking of this, Hikigaya suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Can I go in and talk?"
Ichinose pursed her lips and said.
"that..."
Hikigaya scratched his head and said, "It's a little inconvenient inside. Is there anything we can't talk about outside? If it's long, we can talk about it tomorrow, right?"
"Is there anyone else in there?"
"No."
"Then let me go in and talk."
"oh."
Seeing that Ichinose was a bit tough, Hikigaya got out of the way. After all, he was a classmate of Class B, and he was still Ichinose.
It's certainly impossible to harm him.
The two returned to the bedroom.
Seeing Ichinose sitting at the low table, Hikigaya had a headache and said:
"There are only MAX coffee, coffee, and water, which one is better?"
"Water will do."
Ichinose said in a low voice.
There is no difference between coffee and MAX coffee.
Less than a moment.
Hikigaya brought the disposable paper cup to Ichinose.
"So, what's the matter?"
Hikigaya is holding a MAX cafe opposite Ichinose.
"Why did you do this?"
Hikigaya scratched his head and said helplessly:
"This question again, why are you all curious? If all the problems are solved, what are you dissatisfied with?"
"But... Hikki, you..."
Ichinose's eyes turned red, and his voice couldn't help but rise a bit.
This again.
"Oh, it doesn't matter to me."
Hikigaya sighed, feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by her worried eyes.
Such an explanation would probably be difficult to gain acceptance.
He scratched his head and smiled nonchalantly:
"When I was in junior high school, just because a girl often talked to me, I misunderstood that she liked me, and was laughed at by others for being narcissistic. This kind of thing really doesn't matter to me. You don't have to worry about it at all."
He have real experience.
Presumably Ichinose and others can understand that he really doesn't care about these things.
The dark history of the past.
It has already made him extremely strong inside.
Thinking about it.
Hikigaya was even a little proud. Those stupid guys were probably being fooled by his plan.
Because these fools like to judge others without permission.
He can easily control these idiots.
"But."
"Even so, this is obviously a misunderstanding on their part."
"Hikigaya-kun is obviously so kind and has been thinking about the class, but it is really unfair to suffer such misunderstandings from others."
Ichinose covered her aching heartache, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I will go to school tomorrow and I will definitely find a way to resolve these misunderstandings."
If the misunderstanding is resolved.
Ichinose may be in a situation where rumors are targeting her again.
But that's okay.
"The misunderstanding is impossible to resolve."
Hikigaya said calmly: "Because the solution is already used, this problem ends here."
She will be freed from the rumors.
Even Ichinose himself could not change this ending.
"Why did it become like this..."
Ichinose wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her palms.
She also understand this.
The more important the moment is, the more people will make their own decisions.
Ichinose is an honest good girl.
Hikigaya is so mean but so popular.
"If I had known this would happen, I would have gone to school anyway..."
"No, you don't have to worry about it at all."
Seeing Ichinose's tears flowing down like straws, Hikigaya suddenly became confused and quickly pushed a box of tissue paper in front of her.
"please"
No need to cry anymore.
Hikigaya is really confused.
"How could you not care?"
Ichinose ignored the paper in front of him, and his shoulders could not help but tremble slightly.
"It's all because of me that you destroyed you reputation to solve my problem."
"Reputation is too exaggerated..."
Hikigaya had nowhere to put his hands, and said in a panic: "How do you say it, it feels good to be recognized by others, so don't cry, right?"
"Even so."
Ichinose stared at the girl in front of him with tears streaming down his face, and choked with sobs:
"But my guilt cannot go away. You are obviously so smart, why didn't you Thinking about it?"
"Well..."
Hikigaya was immediately choked.
I see.
It is indeed normal for the kind-hearted Ichinose to feel guilty about this, but it is not difficult to solve...
"In this case..."
Hikigaya hesitated for a moment, then took out a tissue and handed it to her: "Then Ichinose, please treat me to a meal, so that we can settle the matter."
"How is this possible?"
Ichinose kept sobbing and shaking his head.
"Occasionally I have the feeling that Hikigaya-kun is too stupid. How can a meal compared to your reputation?"
"No, my reputation is really not that important."
Hikigaya is really helpless.
Before these things, he didn't have much reputation. I'm afraid 80% of the guys in the school are witches like Hikigaya.
Even if there is, I'm afraid it's the bad reputation that comes from sleeping together in the woods.
If you look at it this way.
I'm afraid he would have to compensate Ichinose.
"That's why I say you have excessive self-awareness."
Ichinose put her palms against her red eyes and kept sobbing:
"It's up to me to judge this. What should I do to make up for Hikigaya-kun's loss..."
"this..."
Hikigaya's face stiffened.
This is indeed his subjective judgment, and the value of his reputation should indeed be judged by Ichinose or other bystanders.
Although Hikigaya feels that his reputation is worthless, Ichinose clearly doesn't think so.
This is a bit of a headache, at least I have to find it.
Something that matches Ichinose's value.
Thinking about it.
Hikigaya raised her head and glanced at her. The place where Hoshinomiya Chie kissed her couldn't help but feel a little warm again.
No, no.
No matter what, his reputation has no value that can match Ichinose's body.
He must have been influenced by that bad woman from the Hoshinomiya.
"that..."
Hikigaya scratched his head and said, "How about telling me what happened to you in the past? That way we'll settle the matter?"
Seeing Ichinose's hesitation, Hikigaya quickly scratched his head: "I'll think about other things."
"no."
Ichinose looked up at Hikigaya: "Is this really okay? Is just my past really enough?"
Ichinose couldn't help but clutch her chest.
Her past really has no value, and in the eyes of others, it may be just an ordinary trivial matter.
Forget it.
It doesn't matter if Hikigaya wants more.
Thinking about it.
Ichinose didn't know why, but her heart was pounding.
