The Joke Unfolds

At that moment, a sudden straight punch pierced the air, hitting Hachiman's cheek like lightning.

"The next punch won't just pass by like that." Hiratsuka's eyes were deadly serious.

The punch of the fist felt cold, sinking Nagi's heart. If he were to be hit, he might vomit.

"Sensei, we'll go back and rewrite it and give you something new."

After saying that, he pulled Hitori and Satania to bow to Hiratsuka.

Hiratsuka looked at the three of them. The corners of her mouth moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

Nagi cautiously raised his head and saw deep thought in Hiratsuka's eyes.

"So, it seems none of you have joined a club yet?" Hiratsuka finally spoke, her voice full of calmness and seriousness.

"Goto, Hikigaya, and Kurumizawa, please participate in the 'Service Club' together and change yourselves."

Hiratsuka's words surprised everyone present. Service Club? It was a word they had never heard before.

Not hearing its name before, Nagi said that Hiratsuka was doing the right thing.

He decided to help Satania and the others inquire about what it meant.

"What is the Service Club?" Nagi tried hard not to think too much and ask.

Hiratsuka glanced at Nagi and smiled thinly. "Nanaba, come out with me first, the others will wait."

They walked to the empty classroom next door.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, students and teachers are not allowed. Don't sexually harass me on behalf of serving."

Seeing Hiratsuka leaning against the classroom door, Nagi thought of a plan.

"Kid, what are you thinking? I came here to ask you to help Yukinoshita."

"Yukishita Yukino? Sensei, can't you hold back?"

There was only one person with the Yukinoshita surname at school. That was Yukinoshita Yukino. Nagi had also met her a few times at school.

Yukinoshita Yukino's image was a good explanation of the meaning of dignifying her name, giving a cool and elegant feeling to people.

She had a flawless face, as if carefully carved, with every part in place.

Her skin was like the purest snow, with a hint of pearl white. Her long black hair hung softly on her shoulders,

It had a light natural shine. Her extremely cute face,

Her body shape was perfect. Every inch of her slim and proportionate body seemed to be carefully sculpted.

Red ribbons were tied on both sides of her hair, adding a lively atmosphere to her elegant image.

"I hope you can join her club to improve her character!!" Saying that, Hiratsuka bowed ninety degrees to him.

(So serious? Did Yukinoshita's parents give money to Hiratsuka-sensei?)

Teaching students is the teacher's duty, not hims.

Nagi frowned, it was too bothersome, and he wasn't a private caregiver for troubled kids.

His usual approach to people he didn't fancy was to politely decline them.

As he was about to decline, Hiratsuka seemed to see his reaction and spoke again.

"Or, how about you go and see her before deciding to reject or accept?"

＊＊＊

Although Toyogasaki Academy was founded less than ten years ago, the school was also a school taken over from another school.

After passing the new teaching building and walking to the other side of the school, they saw a group of old school buildings.

Although these school buildings were old, they still retained their original style and unique charm.

These old school buildings now had a new mission. They became the gathering place for student clubs and breathed new life into the school.

Although the old and new school buildings had very different styles, they lived together harmoniously and together formed the unique landscape of Toyogasaki Academy.

"Sensei, does the so-called Service Club mean helping to move pianos in the music class, or sorting out trash in the biology class or library books?"

"We're here."

Hiratsuka didn't hear Hachiman's words and stopped in front of a seemingly normal classroom.

There was nothing written on the class name board.

They looked at the sign with curiosity, and Hiratsuka immediately opened the door.

In this corner of the classroom were many neatly arranged tables and chairs, clearly more than in a regular classroom. Apparently, this place was temporarily used as a storage room.

Otherwise, this class was not much different from other classes. But what was special was that there were two girls inside. The setting sun entered through the window, illuminating the entire classroom. The two girls were sitting in the corner of the class, with an old wooden desk in front of them, and two cups of black tea steaming on the table.

They seemed completely immersed in their own world, sipping black tea and chatting enthusiastically. The setting sun illuminated their young faces, making their smiles appear even brighter.

Nagi's eyelids twitched, Shiina Mahiru was also from this club?

Hachiman, who walked ahead with Hiratsuka, was involuntarily mesmerized. These two girls instantly made him feel like he was entering a teen drama.

The two girls stopped talking when they saw someone enter. The black-haired girl was the first to ask.

"Hiratsuka-sensei, I should have asked you to knock before entering, right?"

Hiratsuka smiled thinly. "Sorry, I forgot."

She nodded to the black-haired girl, then turned to Nagi and the others. "This is the club I want you to join. Come in and get to know each other."

Nagi looked at Hitori and Satania, and when both nodded, he reluctantly entered the classroom.

"Then, let me introduce you first."

Hiratsuka glanced at Nagi and the others, then turned to the two girls.

"This is Satanichia McDowell Kurumizawa, and she's completely lost touch with reality. The other one is Goto Hitori, who is so quiet that only when I visited her house on the second day of school, I persuaded her to come to school."

Satania and Hitori both greeted nervously. Although they didn't know the two girls, the aura of the black-haired girl made them feel a little pressured.

"Hey, Hiratsuka-sensei, Nanaba and I haven't been introduced." Hachiman raised his hand and said.

"Sorry, I forgot again. This dead-eyed guy's name is Hikigaya Hachiman. We don't need to introduce the others."

"Both are Yukinoshita Yukino and Shiina Mahiru." Hiratsuka continued to introduce.

"Yukishoshita and Shiina are both members of the Service Club."

Unexpectedly, he met Mahiru here. Nagi thought about how to eliminate the troublesome task of Hiratsuka to change Yukino's deviant character.

"Yukinoshita, as you can see, they all need club activities."

"The others are fine, but Hikigaya-san isn't. His evil and filthy eyes make me feel very dangerous."

As she spoke, Yukino straightened her untidy collar and looked at him.

Hachiman wouldn't look at those flat chests... Wait, that's right!

Believe me, he really didn't look at them, he was just momentarily interested!

Nagi squinted, Yukino's personality seemed very different from her appearance.

Hiratsuka's request was indeed right, and Yukino's character did need improvement.

And she said these words to Hachiman as if Nagi wasn't there.

"Yukinoshita-san, your judgment of Hikigaya is somewhat harsh. Unless you've met each other a few times by now, and you'll say something like this which is a personal attack on a student you don't know. I can't imagine how your classmates would call you a high mountain flower. Please think twice before commenting next time."

Yukino's eyebrows slightly furrowed, she stared directly into Nagi's eyes, her voice cold and firm.

"I didn't mean to attack Hikigaya-kun maliciously. It's just that his gaze makes me uncomfortable."

"Is that so?" Nagi smiled and looked at her.

The atmosphere became quiet, and Hachiman gave him a thumbs up, indicating that Nagi was still good to him.

Mahiru wanted to say something, but Hiratsuka cut in.

"Don't be too stiff. Hikigaya just has a pair of dead-fish eyes. There's nothing wrong with them. In fact, he's very good at risk assessment and self-protection, and he would never do anything illegal. Besides, isn't there a good guy watching over him? You all know Nanaba's character."

Nagi felt more and more like Hiratsuka was being stuffed with money by Yukino's parents, she was so biased towards Yukino.

Yukino stared at Nagi.

"Well, because of Sensei's request, I can't just sit idly by and do nothing... So I'll accept it."

"What's my opinion? I don't want to join any club." Hachiman said unhappily.

"That objection isn't valid, then I'll go first." Said Hiratsuka and left without looking back, leaving Nagi and the others behind.

The second hand on the clock kept ticking, its sound slow but loud.

It reminded Hachiman of his experience in junior high school, when he returned home from school, the gentle breeze blew the curtains, and the setting sun entered the classroom.

The young man gathered the courage to confess. To this day, he still remembered that voice clearly.

"Let's just be friends, okay?"

Ah!!! This memory of failure!!!

Every time Hachiman thought about it, he wanted to punch the junior high school he attended with one blow!

In short, for him, romantic comedies where he was locked in a secret room with some beautiful girls couldn't happen in the real world.

In reality, only his good friend, Nagi, could face him successively.

Until today, Hachiman had received professional training and wouldn't fall into traps like that.

The so-called girls were his enemies.

Thinking of this, he decided to use a threatening look in his eyes rather than greet her.

But before he could see it, he was interrupted by Yukino's next words.

"How about you all sit down first?"

"Thank you, so are we going to do something here?"

Although Hiratsuka said it was the Service Club, Nagi still couldn't understand.

As far as he knew, in the past, regular members of the student council were allowed to do physical work on behalf of serving the school.

But besides the issue of the Service Club's name, he didn't see any specific club activities they were doing now.

"Nanaba-kun, you can guess it."

While thinking, Nagi helped Hachiman and the others move their chairs from the back of the class.

"We have to learn how to make Mount Fuji enter the eruption cycle." Satania quickly answered.

"Drinking tea and eating snacks?" Hitori guessed with a little suspicion, she had seen anime, and there was a club whose club activity was drinking tea and eating snacks.
