Hikigaya Hachiman and Asada Shinichi

　　"Hey, look quickly..."

　　Some people noticed his gaze and looked at them suspiciously, but they happened to see him showing a strange smile and observing them maliciously. They felt a chill in their hearts and started whispering to each other.

　　"It's so scary, that's the look in an animal's eyes when it sees food..."

　　"You just got so much limelight, and you want to cause trouble as soon as you get off the stage?"

　　"Are you treating us as stepping stones or as growth fodder?"

　　"After the last session, will the students from Shuchi'in Academy sweep the exchange meeting again..."

　　"This is so scary..."

　　As a result, the rumor that "Asada Shuchiin showed his heart and vowed to trample all the participants and dominate the entire exchange meeting" spread like a virus and became known to everyone.

　　There are those who are wary, there are those who are indifferent, there are those who are just interested, and there are also those who don't want to lose.

　　No matter what, the atmosphere was much livelier compared to the beginning.

　　When Shinichi didn't notice, more and more people were paying attention to him and looking forward to his appearance.

　　"...Strange, is it because of the relationship just now?"

　　Shinichi felt that the gazes from around him became more intense.

　　"What? There is such a thing... Hah, even if its credibility is questionable..."

　　 Yukino who was diagonally in front of him, whispered to Yuigahama, and her expression was grim.

　　Immediately, she turned around and stared at him sharply.

　　"No matter what the truth is, no matter how ambitious you are, if you don't have enough strength to match it, it's just a joke."

　　"Asada Shinichi-san, if you really came here with this intention, I will use my own power to make you realize the reality."

　　After saying that, Yukino said calmly and politely to Ichika, whose smile faded and her face sank:

　　"Excuse me."

　　Then she turned around.

　　"Ummm..."

　　This made Ichika feel dissatisfied, and exchanged glances with her sister.

　　After being told something so offensive, Shinichi was filled with questions and didn't even have time to get angry.

　　"What ambition?"

　　Does this girl suffer from chuunibyou?

　　Also, why does Yuigahama Yui next to her look like a villain?

　　And Iroha, what's with that amazed look in her eyes?

　　The change in the other party's attitude confused Shinichi too much, and looked to Hachiman for answers.

　　But the other party also looked at them back and forth in confusion.

　　"Even though Yukinoshita sometimes… No, she often gets angry, she shouldn't bother doing things like provoking people for no reason."

　　Facing his gaze, for some reason, Hachiman whispered to him.

　　"Not to mention that Yuigahama's expression is also very strange... Um, she must have heard those rumors. There should be no one more experienced in this than me."

　　"Such an expression clearly shows distrust, but in fact she has long believed rumors that slander others. To me, that is the most obvious and disgusting expression."

　　While showing a self-deprecating expression, Hachiman's mood was also subtle.

　　He is not very enthusiastic, he will not care about Yukino's entanglement, instead he will take the initiative to talk to people and explain, and he will reveal her dark history so easily...

　　He was still very confused.

Shinichi is clearly just as annoying as Hayama, and his selfish kindness on stage is just as annoying. Why should he take the initiative to talk to him...

　　Forget it, it's just that today is different from usual.

　　Once again, Hachiman convinced himself.

　　He lowered his voice and said to Shinichi.

　　"No matter what, that person is a madman who must do what she says, but she also has a certain ability to carry it out. You better avoid it, otherwise you will be in trouble."

　　Shinichi nodded and said in a soft voice.

　　"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Hikigaya-kun."

　　Hachiman's eyes widened and his gaze was unprepared.

　　"You… You still remember me?"

　　"Including you, I remember all the students here," Shinichi smiled, his attitude the opposite of casual.

　　"Anyway, since the next piece of this puzzle has nothing to do with us... Hikigaya-kun, I'm very interested in your Service Club. Can you tell me why it is called by this name?"

　　"Eh?"

　　 Hachiman suddenly discovered something....

　　Shinichi's way of speaking was the same as Hayato, and it was natural for him to guard the conversation so as not to offend other people's feelings.

But the difference was that he was looking at the same kind, looking at Hachiman, who was no different from him and therefore completely equal, looking straight at himself.

　　There was no deliberately disguised friendliness, or shameless arrogance, only calm and good will.

　　This feeling... Very similar to him only friend and the cutest guy in the world, Totsuka Saika.

　　However, it had only been less than ten minutes since they had spoken formally, and this man was not that beautiful.

　　Then why does it feel so familiar?

　　Hachiman's eyes were blank, and he didn't respond for a long time.

　　"Hikigaya-kun?"

　　It wasn't until the man in front of him said his last name again that Hikigaya came back to his senses. He subconsciously lowered his head and covered his expression by touching his bangs.

　　After a long silence, he spoke again.

　　"...Um, I'm unemployed, so I'll tell you what I do."

　　"But I can't guarantee that this is an interesting story."

　　"No matter how boring other people are, to me, things that interest me are interesting things, right? That's how I feel."

　　"…"

　　 Hachiman stopped.

　　"…Ha, I totally agree."

　　Then, he said this sentence as if he was laughing.

　　Shinichi stretched out his hand, and made an inviting gesture.

　　"Then I will trouble you, Hikigaya-kun.

　　"Okay, let me think about where to start..."

　　(That familiar guy is really annoying)

　　 Hachiman thought so.

　　And this idea came about when he and someone started talking from the Service Club about the current school situation, and then from the current school situation to talking about various irrationalities in school and society, the two chatted until the pre-meeting game had ended.

　　Maybe it only happened once?

　　But it didn't matter what Hachiman thought before.

　　(This guy turned out to be pretty good)

　　The two black-haired teenagers came up with this idea at the same time.
