Chapter 072: Shiina Hiyori, the Malicious Literary Girl

Library

When Hikigaya arrived at the library, there were only a few figures in the large library.

After all, it's summer vacation.

Most people are probably singing about youth.

Hikigaya skillfully went up to the second floor.

The ANHS library has a very high collection of books, which is no worse than the Chiba City Library. He has been here several times.

But every time.

Hikigaya just borrowed the book and left directly.

He won't stay in the library for long.

Those who say that the library has a better learning atmosphere and can study seriously, most of them are fake with no self-control.

The headphones they use to block noise are the best evidence.

If you really want to immerse yourself in learning, isn't a quiet dormitory better?

After all.

They just pretend to study, hoping to run into some acquaintances in the library.

From this perspective.

They may just be afraid of loneliness.

Heh.

A bunch of trash.

He is a person who can study quietly in the dormitory.

Hikigaya was thinking about it, while observing the category on the side of the bookshelf.

At this moment, a figure entered his sight.

A girl with waist-length white hair was standing on her toes with her arms raised trying to get a book. Her purple dumb cute eyes seemed a bit confused, why can't she always reach it?

What a cute literary girl.

But.

Little girl, do you have too many books you can't reach?

Can't you remember a little bit?

That's right,

He has seen the girl once before, and she was also like this last time, falling beside the bookshelf with a confused face, but she didn't mean to ask for help from others at all.

After all, the position of that book.

It's just stuck in the range of 'just a little bit higher' and you can get it. It feels a bit embarrassing to ask someone for help.

Hikigaya just glanced at her and walked to the other side of the bookshelf.

Through the gap between the books and the bookshelf, a majestic object appeared in his sight, swaying up and down with her tiptoe movement.

Hikigaya blushed and looked up at the top side.

It's probably one of these few books.

It's definitely not that he intentionally helped her, he just wanted to borrow a few books.

Hikigaya picked up a book and gently pushed it to the other side, and the book fell off the bookshelf.

Just to be safe.

He also pushed down a few books around him.

"Bang bang bang."

"Ouch~"

Several books fell to the ground one after another, and the girl made a painful sound.

Such a small height should not be injured, but it inevitably makes Hikigaya feel a bit guilty.

"Oh, sorry."

Hikigaya said on the spot, ready to turn around and leave.

According to the experience of last time, the girl will not take any action, so a simple apology is enough.

After all,

Not asking for help from others shows that the other party is a more introverted person.

A little thing, I'm sure She won't take it to heart.

As for the extra books,

Leave it to the librarian.

"Wait!"

"Uh..."

Hikigaya shrinks his neck, wondering if it's different from last time. Could she be trying to extort him?

Such a cute girl.

She probably wouldn't do such a thing... probably.

Or maybe his earlier apology wasn't sincere enough.

Well, there's no helping it.

After all, his actions caused a book to fall on her head.

He has no choice but to kneel and apologize to show his sincerity!

Hikigaya, with the determination to kneel, turned around and looked at the approaching young girl.

He can't help but marvel.

The beauty standard of this school is really high. Only when he observes her face-to-face does he realize that the girl in front of him is as delicate and attractive as a doll.

"Um, I'm really sorry..."

Hikigaya apologizes again and tries to get past the incident, "I accidentally dropped the book just now, are you okay?"

"Um."

The girl tilts her head slightly, scrutinizing him for a moment before saying, "You did it on purpose, didn't you."

It's not a question, but a statement.

She seems to be quite sure.

"No, no, no."

Hikigaya stubbornly retorts, "What evidence do you have?"

It's over.

It's over,

She's a beautiful girl, but her heart is so malicious.

She must be trying to frame him for intentional harm, and then extort a large sum from him.

The prettier the girl, the more vicious her heart.

"Hmph."

A faint smile appears on the girl's adorable face:

"That sentence can be used as evidence. The criminal's lines are always the same 'where's the evidence' 'what a brilliant deduction, you should become a novelist' 'I don't want to be in the same room with a murderer'."

"The last one is clearly the victim's line, it can be said to be a death flag."

"Indeed, you know it very well."

For some reason.

The girl claps her hands excitedly, "Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Shiina Hiyori from Class 1C, and you?"

"Ah, oh."

Although he doesn't know why it turned out like this, Hikigaya still politely introduces himself, "Class 1B, Hikigaya Hachiman."

"Oh, Hikigaya-kun!"

Shiina Hiyori's eyes sparkle, "You must also like to read detective novels, right?"

"Well, I suppose so."

Hikigaya takes a half step back in fright.

As long as it's related to words, he basically reads it. It's not too much to say that he likes it.

However,

What's up with this girl?

She seemed like a quiet and literary girl, but suddenly became so enthusiastic.

"Sure enough..."

Shiina Hiyori claps her hands together:

"I knew it. But, you just asked me for evidence, right? Using those fixed lines as evidence is indeed a bit inappropriate. Actually, I did a good job of reasoning~"

"Oh..."

Hikigaya is a bit confused, not knowing how to respond to such enthusiasm, so he just says an "oh".

By the way,

Why did it turn out like this?

If you didn't know, you'd think they were friends.

What on earth does this girl want to do?

Is it not extortion? Is she actually trying to scam him out of his property?

Scary

This is indeed too scary.

But with the experience of being deceived taught by his father, Hikigaya doesn't think anyone can deceive him.

"Because~"

Shiina Hiyori couldn't contain her excitement and said, "You pushed the book to me like this last time, and this time too. There can't be such a coincidence in the world! So, you actually wanted to help me get the book, right?"

"What a wonderful deduction, you should be a novelist."

Hikigaya's mouth twitches.

If this can be considered a deduction, Conan would cry.

"I just wanted to find some books I like."

"Is that so."

Shiina Hiyori tilted her head, looking at the "Genji Monogatari" in his hand, "Hikigaya-kun, do you like this kind of book?"

"Huh?"

Hikigaya took a closer look.

Only then did he realize what book he was holding, and quickly stuffed it back into the bookshelf.

"No!"

Hikigaya said somewhat flustered.

This book is a bit spicy for high school students, how could he possibly like this kind of thing!

"So it really is to help me!"

Shiina Hiyori clapped her small hands, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth again.

She was a bit puzzled and said, "But, Hikigaya-kun, why do you have to go around in such a roundabout way? It would be fine if you just helped me get it down, right?"

"Uh..."

"Oh, that... it's just that, I just took the wrong book."

Hikigaya glanced at the bookshelf next to him, took out a book at random again, and would never admit to helping the other party.

But this kind of defense is full of loopholes,

He hurriedly shifted the topic: "By the way, why didn't you react last time."

"..."

Shiina Hiyori looked at Hikigaya in front of her with some doubt, not knowing what she was thinking, but the smile at the corner of her mouth was deeper.

Hikigaya's cheeks were a bit red.

He naturally recognized the meaning of the smile.

This is not a mockery, not a ridicule, more like a smile from the heart.

However, he really didn't understand what the other party was happy about.

"That..."

Without continuing to ask, Shiina Hiyori pointed at her chin and thought, "?? The last time you pushed the book over, I thought it was some new way of picking up girls, so I didn't care."

"Hey."

This sentence translates to, if it's to pick up girls, he's been PASSed directly.

Too much

"Your speculation is a bit hasty."

Hikigaya said somewhat speechlessly, "If you really want to pick up girls, it's not impossible to do it twice in a row. Those frivolous men have a strong determination when they see beautiful women."

"So I responded this time."

Shiina Hiyori clapped her hands and laughed.

"Hey."

What does this mean? Wait a minute, wait a minute, Hikigaya felt a bit overwhelmed, and couldn't think about it.

His heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and Hikigaya felt his cheeks were a bit hot.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Seeing this, Shiina Hiyori was a bit flustered, "I was joking."

What the hell.

That was indeed a bit scary.

While he breathed a sigh of relief, Hikigaya inevitably felt a slight sense of loss:

"If you often make these kinds of jokes, it's very easy for boys to misunderstand."

"I'm really sorry."

Shiina Hiyori bowed in apology, scratching her hair somewhat embarrassedly:

"Because I didn't have many friends since I was a child, and I finally met someone with a common interest, I might have gotten a little carried away. This kind of joke is really too much, isn't it?"

"I see."

There's a kind of thrill of being played with, since it's a joke, Hikigaya doesn't care much:

"It's not too much, but this kind of joke is very easy for boys to misunderstand, it might be a bit dangerous for you, it's best not to make this kind of joke easily."

"Um."

Shiina Hiyori breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "So, I can understand Hikigaya's feeling of wanting to help, but worrying about causing trouble to the other party, so I used such a roundabout way, right?"

If Shiina Hiyori really doesn't have friends, it's indeed easy to understand this kind of feeling.

"I just took the wrong book."

Hikigaya absolutely does not admit it.

"Just take it as it is, by the way, Hikigaya, what kind of book do you want to find in the library? I'm very familiar with it here."

Shiina Hiyori laughed indifferently, revealing a desire to help.

"Um."

Hikigaya is also not very clear: "Does the school library have light novels?"

"Eh? Hikigaya wants to read light novels?

Shiina Hiyori was slightly stunned.

"Sort of."

"Okay, I remember the light novels are over there, I'll take you to see, but you have to put the books that fell on the ground back in place first, can Hikigaya help?"

"Oh, sure."

Just pointing the way is fine.

But for some reason, Shiina Hiyori wanted to go with him. Helplessly, Hikigaya took the books from her hand and put them back in their original position.

After all, it was caused by himself, so there is no reluctance.

The two came to the light novel section.

Hikigaya carefully looked at the bookshelf in front of him.

The ANHS library still has a lot of light novels, but it doesn't seem to have been detailed.

From two to three volumes to more than ten volumes, there are even some novels missing.

"Is it really like this?

Hikigaya nodded, as expected.
