Chapter 095: What kind of palace drama is this, it's too scary

Keyaki Mall Shopping Center, Karaoke.

After watching the movie, Hikigaya followed Himeno Yuki to the designated private room.

"Speaking of which, it's already six o'clock, why choose this time for the celebration party, isn't it better to just go home and eat?"

Even though it was the second time, Hikigaya was still a bit reluctant and suddenly had the urge to go home.

"Huh?" 

"At this time, how could we possibly go back?"

Himeno Yuki pulled Hikigaya and said somewhat speechlessly: "Choosing this time is of course because after five o'clock, karaoke can be sung unlimitedly, it's very worth it! Even outside of school, don't you even know this?"

"Japan is really rich."

Hikigaya laughed dryly.

Hikigaya gave a dry laugh.

Singing after school is fine, but actually unlimited singing.

Damn it.

If you're a student, you should study well!

Hikigaya had the urge to write a suggestion letter to the student council, simply banning these facilities that affect learning!

The more he thought about it, the more Hikigaya felt it was a good idea.

If it's this school, maybe all these annoying modern people can be completely wiped out!

Unfortunately.

Whether it's Horikita Manabu or the blond Nagumo Miyabi.

Neither of them would agree.

They are the leaders of the modern people, they are the enemy!

"So the celebration party is going to be very late?"

Hikigaya was a bit headache, probably going to sit until late at night.

Even if it's Class B, such a friendly class, they can't change the bad habits of modern people.

"Probably around eight o'clock?"

Seeing Hikigaya's shocked look, Himeno Yuki explained:

"If it's a girls-only party, it will be quite late, but this time it's a whole class celebration party, right? With Ichinose's character, it probably won't be too late."

"What about last time?"

"Last time was on a cruise ship, naturally playing from afternoon to night."

"..."

Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief, and was a bit puzzled: "Then what's the point of you guys picking the time point for unlimited singing?"

After all, it's only two or three hours, why bother picking such a late time?

"Hmm? Doesn't this feel very profitable?"

Himeno Yuki tilted her head a bit puzzled.

"Isn't that just being brainwashed by consumerism."

Hikigaya was even more speechless, the stupid modern group was really deeply poisoned by the brainwashing of consumerism by capitalists.

"Not at all."

Himeno Yuki turned a beautiful white eye and said: "You'll know later."

They came to the designated private room, Himeno Yuki let go of her hand and pushed the door in, Hikigaya sighed helplessly and followed her.

Class B is really a group of rude and good people.

"Yahho."

"Himeno-chan, Hikigaya-kun?"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ichinose greeted with a smile, and finally her gaze fell on Hikigaya.

"Eh?"

"Himeno, Hikigaya, how come you guys are together?"

The other classmates also had some doubts, but most of the doubts were directed at Himeno Yuki.

"I happened to meet him on the road, I saw him wandering outside, so I brought him in."

Himeno Yuki turned her head and sold him out, she was really a bad-tempered person.

However.

Hikigaya didn't care much, so he agreed and nodded.

If it weren't for bumping into Himeno Yuki, he might indeed wander around for a while, and then go into karaoke.

Or, be taken in by some kind-hearted person from Class B in advance.

"So, everyone."

"Now that everyone is here, the celebration party officially begins~"

"Oh."

A group of people cheered, which made Hikigaya a bit headache.

Last time, Ichinose handed him a drink, which he accepted without a second thought. But what about this time? Should he pour it himself? The empty cups were piled up on two coffee tables, surrounded by people he barely knew.

Seeing Himeno Yuki walk over to the girls' coffee table and naturally pour herself a drink, Hikigaya had no choice but to walk over to the boys' side and carefully pour himself a drink. Constantly having to be aware of the atmosphere of others was indeed tiring.

"Everyone~"

"For our sports festival, we got first place in our grade!"

"Cheers~

After Ichinose said that, Hikigaya also slightly raised his glass of cola and took a sip.

"Then I'm going to start singing~ Who else wants to sing?"

"Himeno, let's play Monopoly?"

"We also made some points, if you need them, you can come and get them!"

A group of people suddenly dispersed, gathering with those they were close to. It felt a bit different from what Hikigaya had imagined. It was really healthy.

These issues weren't really important, Hikigaya looked at the room in front of him and felt a bit depressed.

He had attended banquets before. Not to mention the last celebration banquet. In elementary school, he had also attended a classmate's birthday banquet, only to find that everyone had chicken legs, except they forgot his portion.

No, that's not right.

That's not important, what's important is now.

The room was indeed quite large, enough to accommodate forty people.

But it seemed like there was no place for him.

The girls were squeezed at one end of the U-shaped sofa, directly passed, and the boys were at the other end of the sofa.

The only ones he was somewhat familiar with, Shibata, Kanzaki, Watanabe, Hamaguchi and others, were playing cards.

Strictly speaking.

His relationship with Shibata and others was not good, they had been in the same class for more than a semester, but they had only spoken a few times.

Walking in, he felt that Shibata and others wouldn't say anything, they might even welcome him, but most likely they would feel a bit troubled, which wasn't very good for them.

After hesitating for a moment.

Hikigaya sneakily moved a small stool, moved it to the sofa near the boys' side, half a body distance away, occasionally looking at them.

This distance was just right.

As if they were all part of the same group participating in the conversation.

But at this distance, it would be a bit difficult to strike up a conversation with him, most people who were not familiar would choose to give up.

"Huh."

Hikigaya took a sip of the cola in his hand.

He decided to leave after half an hour, no, ten minutes.

Speaking of which, these people didn't order any food when they sang, the table was full of homemade snacks, it was really economical.

Hikigaya sat on the small sofa stool.

He automatically turned on human observation mode to pass the time.

At this time, Ichinose was singing with Shiranami Chihiro and Amikura Mako, a group of girls surrounded them.

Soon.

Twenty minutes passed.

Hikigaya quickly observed a detail.

Although it was not obvious usually, even in a class as kind as Class B, there was still a class distinction.

Whenever Amikura Mako and others wanted to sing with Ichinose, the other girls would automatically give up the microphone.

Several girls who liked to sing were obviously reluctant.

But they still had to do it.

They were still muttering things like 'Good, good, Ichinose's singing is super good, let's have another song' in their mouths.

And their way of fighting back.

Was 'I also want to sing with Ichinose' to get another microphone, and Ichinose became the sweet bun in everyone's eyes.

To say they hated Ichinose, not really, they seemed to enjoy singing.

It just

Want to sing?

Sure.

But you have to be with Ichinose, otherwise you will lose competitiveness.

Once you open your mouth, it will form a 'Let Ichinose sing first, how about it?' 'Hmm, I also want to hear Ichinose sing' cycle atmosphere.

However,

Ichinose would consider others and let that classmate sing together.

'What kind of palace drama is this.'

'It's so scary.'

Hikigaya watched with a bit of a chill, girls are really too scary.

He even had some doubts.

Could this be a palace fighting tactic secretly used by Ichinose?

Whether or not to admit it.

Ichinose has already become an existence above Class B.

Although she seems to want to be fair.

However,

This is probably an impossible thing.

The girl who first proposed to sing will become the target of public criticism.

After all, Amikura Mako, Shiranami Chihiro, and many other girls seem to truly respect and admire Ichinose.

It will evolve into 'It's all your fault, causing Ichinose to leave', although they won't say it, it will evolve into such an atmosphere.

Himeno Yuki probably saw through this point a long time ago and had to compromise helplessly.

'Scary'

Hikigaya was almost scared silly.

A group of people who truly like Ichinose are forced to form a deadlock that must support Ichinose.

What the hell is this, it's really too scary.

Think differently

If causing Ichinose to leave is a mistake.

Hikigaya seriously doubted whether Ichinose's special care for him had caused him to be envied by many girls.

It probably won't.

It will probably be something like 'Ichinose is so gentle, she won't give up on someone like Hikigaya'.

'Scary.'

Hikigaya watched with trepidation.

If all these are the results of Ichinose's scheming, then this person could probably be a demon king.

But from his observation.

Ichinose probably doesn't have this kind of consciousness, and she might even work harder because she is highly expected.

Strictly speaking, should it be considered a good thing?

Hikigaya is not sure.

Being expected by others is a very hard thing, people's expectations will only get higher and higher until they disappoint.

He definitely doesn't want to, but Ichinose seems to enjoy it.

As a leader, if Ichinose can work harder, he, as a corporate slave, can also enjoy the results.

Another one.

Hikigaya turned his head to look at Himeno Yuki on the sofa, she was covering her mouth and laughing lightly while chatting with other girls.

There is still a bit of a spicy girl look, completely a weak and sickly quiet girl.

This guy is really good at pretending...

Just then, the two accidentally made eye contact, and Hikigaya noticed that Himeno Yuki glanced at the door.

What does it mean?

Hikigaya tilted his head and suddenly reacted.

Since this guy doesn't like such frequent gatherings, how does she usually get away?

This girl, does she want him to speak up and leave first?

Although Hikigaya also wanted to leave, thinking of Himeno Yuki's domineering attitude before, and most importantly, she only bought one bucket of popcorn.

Hikigaya wanted to retaliate.

Today,

I'm not leaving!

Since you like to pretend, then you must bear it.

Hikigaya shook his head.

It's always a bit unfair for Himeno Yuki to watch him make a fool of himself, now he wants to see Himeno Yuki's embarrassing side.

"You..."

Himeno Yuki's beautiful eyes were sharp for a moment, and then quickly calmed down, giving him a look of 'you wait and see'.

"Yahho~"

At this moment.

Finally Ichinose carrying a bag of cookies, walked over to Hikigaya.

"Hikigaya, would you like to try a cookie?"

"Oh, thank you!"

Hikigaya picked up a few cookies and put them in his mouth.

There's no reason to refuse free snacks, especially when everyone else is eating. There's no need to worry about any obligations.

"How does it feel?"

Ichinose moved a small sofa stool and sat next to Hikigaya, dragging the cookies in between them.

Is she asking about his feelings about attending the celebration banquet, or is she asking about the taste of the cookies?

Hikigaya felt a bit confused.

But if she's asking about the banquet, it would be a bit arrogant. Ichinose wouldn't care about him to that extent.

Therefore.

She's probably asking about the taste of the cookies.

Really, if there's a question, please be more precise.

"It's not bad, quite delicious."

Hikigaya bit into the cookie and chose his words carefully, indicating that he was answering the question about the taste.

"I'm sorry."

Ichinose looked at Hikigaya with a puzzled look, then nodded and said:

"I was asking about how you feel about attending this celebration banquet, but thank you anyway."

Hmm.

This indicates that the cookies in his hand were made by Ichinose herself.

Hikigaya looked at the cookie, then raised his head to observe the room. He could feel a few gazes, but as soon as he met their eyes, they quickly looked away.

They must all be a bit helpless.

Why doesn't Ichinose just leave him alone?

"It's not bad."

Hikigaya said flatly: "But I still prefer to be alone."

If...

He's just sitting here every time.

Although it's not very interesting, it's not unbearable either. After all, he's just daydreaming or killing time on his phone.

"It's okay."

Ichinose breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "As long as you get used to it."

At least it shows that Hikigaya doesn't hate this kind of gathering, maybe he just didn't have this kind of experience in the past.

As long as he gets used to it, Hikigaya believes he can have a lot of fun.

"Haha."

"If you don't do what you like, you must force yourself to get used to it."

"That's strange in itself, isn't it?"

Hikigaya said somewhat speechlessly.

If it weren't for Ichinose's coercion, he wouldn't attend this kind of gathering.

"If you haven't experienced it, how would you know you don't like it?"

Ichinose looked at the room, there are indeed more people now, considering Hikigaya's personality, it feels a bit inappropriate.

She then turned her head and smiled at Hikigaya:

"Next time when there are fewer people, let's come again. Hikigaya-kun, you can also try to see if you like singing."

"No, no need."

Hikigaya quickly refused, why don't these people listen to him?

He doesn't like it, doesn't he know that?

How could he possibly like singing...

Hikigaya thought about it, he did practice guitar for a while in junior high school, if he said he liked singing, it might be possible.

No.

Most boys in junior and senior high school practice guitar and singing to attract girls' attention, he's not so naive now.

Hikigaya concluded that he indeed does not like singing.

"It's okay."

"If you're free next weekend, I'll come to your dorm."

"We can go to karaoke together."

"If you really don't like it, just find other hobby."

"I believe that Hikigaya will definitely find something you likes, and then you can integrate into the class well."

Ichinose shook her head with an indifferent smile.

Although Ichinose had said this before, Hikigaya was still a bit helpless. These people just don't listen.

They even want to go to his dormitory.

Absolutely not.

But only his opinion seems to be temporarily unaccepted by Ichinose.

There is no decision-making power at all.

What kind of black-hearted company is Class B?

"Well..."

Hikigaya was a bit uncomfortable: "How long does this have to go on? I really prefer to be alone."

It's a bit embarrassing to say special care, although a few words are omitted, but he believes Ichinose should understand.

But.

Why don't these people understand this?

There are really people in the world who like to be alone.

Sure enough.

This is all Aristotle's fault, that damn professor, go back and study it again.

"Um..."

Ichinose thought for a while and nodded: "Until Hikigaya-kun regards us as friends."

"I already..."

"This point is up to me to judge."

"..."

Hikigaya was a bit depressed, why is Ichinose so strong only in front of him.

Ask yourself.

He has done a good job as a member of Class B and has never caused trouble to the class.

Having a leader who doesn't listen to people is really headache.

Damn

If I Simply hand over the private points, I believe Ichinose will not be so persistent.

"Well..."

Hikigaya did what he thought, hesitated and said: "I might as well give you the private points for safekeeping."

Compared to private points, he still doesn't want Ichinose to take special care of him like this.

"Huh."

Ichinose exhaled lightly, shook her head full of energy and smiled:

"I'm not doing this for private points, you can keep your points."

"I just want to regard us as a friends!"

"Just that!"
