How He Lives His Life (End)

{Orimoto Kaori's POV}

Today, we will be having a discussion on what should our class do for the school festival. The discussion will be led by Hikigaya and Saki-chan.

Ring!

"Alright, class. That's it for today. Don't forget to do your assignment!"

"Yeah..."

Our teacher, Matsumoto-sensei clicks his tongue izn exasperation at our unenthusiastic answer. Still, he doesn't pursue the matter. He is not that strict.

When Matsumoto-sensei finally got out of the class, all eyes are instantly on Hikigaya, who is busy on.. well...

Sleeping.

He is so smart that he always either sleeps or does something else during the class. Many teachers have addressed this, and they instantly rest the case, when they heard Hikigaya's answer.

—How about teaching me things I don't know yet to gain my interest?

When they rebuked he had still many things to learn, Hikigaya proceed to show every teachers how advanced the knowledge he has compared to them. Needless to say, none of the teachers dare to "mess" with him after that.

That's so funny!

"Hachiman-kun, class has ended. It's time to start the discussion."

"I know, Saki. I am just trying to figure out why 'Zettai Ryōiki' exist."

"Anything happens in anime, Hachiman-kun."

Hikigaya looks up to Saki-chan, before saying, "Yeah, silly me. Why do I even care about that?"

At this point, we are already used to Hikigaya's habit of thinking about something unnecessary. Therefore, we can only turn a blind eye on it.

Hikigaya stands from his chair, and moves to the front of the class with Saki-chan in tow. I don't know how to say it, but he has really grown, personally and physically. He is one of the tallest male in our class already.

"Listen up, Plebeians! We are going to discuss our class' theme for the school festival today. So, utilize those remaining two braincells to your best!"

We all know Hikigaya said that as a joke. But, he said it too seriously. It is as if he really believes what he said! Still, we attribute it to one of the "new" Hikigaya's quirk.

"Kuhum! I have an idea." One of our friends raises his hand. Hikigaya nods his head, and motions him to speak. "I think we should have a Maid Cafe. I am sure everyone will like it."

Saki-chan writes down the idea on the blackboard, and Hikigaya nods his head. "Very well, next!"

"What about a haunted house?"

"With you guys around, our class is haunted already. But, I appreciate your suggestion. Next!"

"What about yakisoba stand?"

"Our cafeteria even sells it. But, I appreciate your suggestion. Next!"

"What about takoyaki stand?"

"Fumu. You guys do like roasting thing. Next! But, don't give any idea that has 'yaki' in it!"

"What about dorayaki stand?"

Ah, Junya slipped. He will get roasted to crisp by Hikigaya, and we will watch the scene in interest, like usual.

"Someone bring this raccoon robot back to 22nd century!"

"Doraemon is a cat!"

"I don't give a shit!"

Surprisingly, he is less harsh than usual today. Right after that, many people suggest their own idea, and Hikigaya will comment on each of their suggestion. When the class runs out of idea, I finally raise my hand.

"I have a suggestion." Hikigaya quirks his eyebrow. "How about a Butler Cafe? I believe many female customers will like it. Right?" I look around, and surely every girls have their eyes lit up.

They must be eager to see Hikigaya in a butler's outfit.

"Hoh? You sure it won't become a haunted house later?" Hikigaya looks around the class, before saying, "I don't think any of us have the face that girls like."

"Oi! You don't have to point that out!"

"Why are you even including yourself, you ikemen prick?!"

Surely, the boys got loud. But, none of them are actually mad at Hikigaya. Even those crazy chinpira squirm under his gaze. How can they be mad at him?

"Alright, suggestion taken. Now, we need to do a voting. I personally incline to a talent show, but I am a democratic man. Therefore, I will give you the chance to vote." Then, the vote begins.

When it ends, Hikigaya frowns his forehead lightly. He doesn't seem to like the outcome. Of course, like usual, he shrugs it off.

"Alright, so it's decided to be a Butler Cafe. I won't be responsible if we got no customers. With this, the discussion is closed!"

With Saki-chan in tow, Hikigaya moves to his desk, picks his bag up, and heads outside the classroom. He still has a meeting with the student council as the head committee.

"Huuh... He has really grown, huh?" I muttered to myself.

...

Today is the school festival.

It's 8.45 in the morning, and the school festival will be started at 9.00. Hikigaya is organizing the event with Saki-chan's help. I have heard some of the committee said he is very good at his role.

"Hikigaya-san, we have run out of coupons!"

Surely, a problem occurs.

"Don't worry, I have ordered someone to print out some more. Ask Shizune where she keeps it."

"Understood!"

Just like usual, Hikigaya always finds the solution.

When the preparation is done, the opening ceremony is ready to be held. Teachers and students alike gather in the hall, and they are waiting for Hikigaya to deliver his speech. Surely, I am also among the people.

Hikigaya steps up to the stage with Saki in tow as his vice. He stands right in front of the microphone, and Saki stands a few steps besides him.

"Good morning, everyone. What a great day to have a school festival. I will not say how honored I am assuming this role forced on to me, but I am glad we still have many competent students in our school." Some people cough at that.

"Without any further ado, as the head committee, I declare the start of the school festival. Go wild, everyone!"

Clap. Clap. Clap.

While everyone is clapping, Hikigaya steps down the stage, and heads somewhere. He doesn't even bow at the crowd after giving his speech. I am pretty sure many teacher's mouths are twitching right now.

And I am pretty sure Hikigaya doesn't care about that.

That's so funny!

{Mysterious Woman's POV}

Kaihin Sōgō Middle School. I am not particularly interested in this school, but someone who attracts my attention is here.

I pass through the front gate, and all eyes are instantly on me. These monkeys must have never seen a woman as beautiful as me.

Hmph! What a pitiable creature. I will give them the opportunity to bask in my divine beauty.

Anyway, where is he? I am only here to see him, and nothing else. I don't care about these side characters.

"Excuse me, how much will you buy the coupons?"

I look at the receptionist, and he instantly blushes. This pitiable monkey must be overwhelmed by my beauty. Fufufu, luckily I am in a good mood today. Or else, I will have already sued him for sexual harassment.

"Give me ¥100,000."

"E-excuse me? Are you sure?"

"Did I stutter?"

"N-no, I am s-sorry. Here is your coupon."

Hmph! Why is he so surprised by the amount? Ah, I get it. He's not as well off as I am. What a pitiable person. Still, I don't care.

When I am about to leave, the receptionist guy calls me once again.

"E-excuse me, Miss. Please write down your name."

"Oh, is that necessary?"

"Yes, it is."

Since it is required, I will do it. But, I won't write my name. They have no right to know my name.

[Mysterious Woman.]

Fu-fu-fu. Since it's written in Kanji, not even the monkey knows it is not my name. He just accepts it without questioning it.

With coupons in my purse, I start to explore the school. I am not interested in the food stands or the people around me. I am only interested in one person, and he's not even around!

With a twist of fate, I finally find him in one of the classes, after a few minutes of searching. He is wearing an outfit befitting of a Butler. It fits him perfectly, and every muscles on his body are accentuated by the tight outfit.

His black hair is swept to the back, and it glistens due to the hair wax. With sharp eyes he gazes at the female customers, and all of them melt under his gaze.

My heart beats faster. He looks extremely gorgeous. This is the person I am looking for.

Hikigaya Hachiman, the one who resembles the person I know.

I enter the classroom, and I am quickly greeted by one of the butlers. He leads me to a table, while blushing madly like a horny teenager he is. Ordering a simple dish, I wait for it to come, while watching my Hachiman.

He is highly wanted by those women, and he assumes his role professionally. Still, I can't help but clenching my fist tightly. I really want to punch those women's face!

Ah, if only I can meet him now, I will "suck the life out of him". Sadly, it's not the time yet. I have to be patient. Therefore, I lower my hat to cover my face. If he were to see me, my appearance will be no surprise anymore.

"Wow! It weirdly suits you, Hachiman."

"Do you mean I fit to be a slave?"

"What are you saying? I was complimenting you!"

"Whatever you say, Shizuka."

My ears twitch. I know who this Shizuka is. Therefore, I can't help but turning my head towards her direction.

My Hachiman is currently serving her, and they are talking like a good friend. A too good friend in my opinion.

"Since you are assuming the role of a Butler currently, serve me like your mistress."

My Hachiman quirks his eyebrow, before saying, "Aren't you too into this role play?"

Yes, that's right, my Hachiman! Tell her how absurd the thing she said!

"But, okay. Today is an exception."

Wait, what?!

I open my eyes wider, and pay closer attention to my Hachiman. He is now spoon-feeding the madly blushing Shizuka. I can't accept this! I am extremely mad!

Not stopping there, he even wipes the cream off of the corner of her mouth, before tasting it. He TASTED it! This is unacceptable!

MY Hachiman is corrupted!

Is this how he lives his life?! He has become a playboy?!

Gah, this is maddening! I can't do nothing but biting and pulling my handkerchief in envy!
