Chapter 13

"Yes, this time's payment. Nice to meet you again."

"...Thank you"

Shizuka Hiratsuka receives an envelope containing money from a strange-looking man and leaves the building.

Hiratsuka leaves the building, goes to a convenience store, buys a cup of sake, hangs out in the convenience store parking lot, and drinks the cup in one go.

"Damn it! That guy Hikigaya! He just ruined my life!"

When she finishes drinking all the sake in the cup, she shows her anger and slams the cup on the ground.

Hiratsuka was furious. She used to be a teacher at Sobu Junior High School, but in March of this year, a video of her hitting one of her students was uploaded online, which led to her  teaching license revoked.

Furthermore, in the online video, child's face had a mosaic, but Hiratsuka's face did not, so she was not even hired for a part-time job, even though it was natural for her to get a job.

As anger and despair spread within Hiratsuka, an AV production director happened to be passing by and scouted Hiratsuka, and Hiratsuka accepted the scout as if she could not turn her back on herself, and literally used her body to live.

She's already released a number of AV videos that are selling reasonably well, and she has savings from her time at Sobu Junior High School, so she's been able to make ends meet, but that doesn't mean her anger has subsided.

(It was her whom Hachiman saw in AV last time)

"Most of the people who go to the service club are at fault, so why do I have to be the only one punished?"

Hiratsuka did not think in the slightest that there was anything wrong with her actions. She had no doubt that this was a whip of love, not violence, and she harbored strong anger towards Hachiman.

"If I remember correctly, he went to a high school for advanced training that doesn't allow contact with outsiders. Are you kidding me by running away to a school like that?!"

Hiratsuka stands up and kicks the convenience store trash can. Then, I leave the convenience store with an angry look on her shoulder.

"Shit, now that I remember it, I'm starting to get irritated. If this happens, I'm going to sneak into Advanced Training High School even on the weekend! I can punch anyone who gets in my way. I have a good reason to teach Hikigaya, who has problems as a person. There will be no problem!"

Hiratsuka returned to her house, laughing loudly. At that time, she did not realize that the people around her were looking at her as if they were seeing something foreign.

"So, do you want to go eat parfait on the way home today?"

"Sorry. I have to go to Sable's grave today. See you then!"

Yuigahama Yui, who attends Sobu High School, turns down the invitation of her classmate Yumiko Miura, leaves the classroom, changes her shoes in the shoe rack, and leaves Sobu High School.

Then, I went straight to the cemetery and placed an offering of dog food on the pet grave.

"Sable..."

Yuigahama muttered as she remembered the entrance ceremony. During their usual daily walk, Sable's leash came loose and she ran out onto the road.

At that time, a limousine carrying Yuigahama's friend Yukinoshita Yukino happened to pass by and run over Sable.

When Yuigahama saw Sable turned into a lump of flesh, she cried so hard that she missed the entrance ceremony that day, and remained absent from school for nearly two weeks.

Although she has recently recovered and started going to school, she continues to visit his grave once a week.

What comes to mind at that time is the sadness of losing Sable, but that's not the only thing that comes to mind...

"Already! Why didn't Hickey help Sable?"

She was only angry at Hachiman who wasn't there. When Yuigahama thought about the cause of that accident, she concluded that it was not her who neglected to manage the lead or Yukinoshita, who was in the car that hit her, but Hachiman, who did not volunteer to help.

"If Hickey had been run over instead, Sable wouldn't have died, so you're not kidding! What's more, what are you thinking of running away without apologizing!"

Yuigahama stomps on the ground in anger. She seemed to be saying that it wasn't her fault.

"Ah, already! I'm getting irritated! Next time I'll go to Hickey's school and complain!"

Yuigahama leaves the grave with an angry expression on her face.

"Hey, look at that..."

"Ah. She ran over Yuigahama-san's dog..."

"I feel sorry for Yuigahama-san."

"But Yuigahama-san forgave her, she is so kind."

"...!"

Yukinoshita Yukino was walking home from school feeling irritated by being insulted by those around her.

It is well known both inside and outside the school that Yukinoshita's car ran over Yuigahama's dog. A high school girl who happened to be passing by the accident scene took a picture of the accident scene and posted it on Twitter, causing Yuigahama to feel sympathy and Yukinoshita to be treated with malice.

As a result, Yukinoshita's desk was in tatters and her textbooks were torn to shreds, which was a daily occurrence.

However, unlike ANHS, there are no surveillance cameras installed in the classrooms at Sobu High School, so there is no conclusive evidence, and even though the teachers are aware of the bullying, they are still turning a blind eye.

Yukinoshita is irritated by the ridicule, but ignores it and heads to the shoe rack. However, since she didn't have shoes, she had no choice but to leave school wearing indoor shoes.

Yukinoshita returns home and stays in her room. After the accident happened, her mother ordered her to return to her parents' home.

She resisted at first, but was told that she would not pay the rent and could not resist.

Therefore, I go to school from home...

"Don't be silly! Why do I have to be made fun of by such brainless people!"

She shows her anger when no one is around. Yukinoshita herself

tried to take revenge for the bullying, but the entire class had become gangsters and were cleverly hiding the evidence.

Even when she questioned.

Everyone stopped, and just as Yukinoshita was about to slap out of anger, almost everyone in the class held up their smartphones and pointed them at Yukinoshita.

It would be unbearable if any more were uploaded to the internet, so all Yukinoshita can do is scream out the inevitable.

"It's also his fault, that the piece of trash didn't move…!"

Like Yuigahama, Yukinoshita also believed that the reason she was being bullied was because Hachiman didn't help Sable.

She didn't doubt that if someone who deserved to die had died in Sable's place, she wouldn't have been bullied at school.

"Doesn't that scum understand his role? I'll definitely punish him someday."

With that said, she was filled with a desire for revenge.

"That's why I'm going to go to Advanced Training High School on the weekend, but will Komachi-chan go too? "

"I'm going! I'll make sure that trash apologizes properly!"

"Thank you! After all, Komachi-chan is reliable! see you! "

After those words, the call ends. At the same time, Komachi shows her anger.

"What a piece of trash! How can you leave Yui-san and Yukino-san without even apologizing!"

Komachi was furious. She had no intention of forgiving her older brother, who hurt two people during an incident in the school trip and then ran away to High School for Advanced Training without apologizing.

That's why I had no complaints about Yuigahama going to Advanced Training High School and trying to get Hachiman to apologize.

"Normally I wouldn't go to this school, but I'll go to that school to make that trash apologize. I definitely have to make him kneel on his knees!"

Komachi once again decides to make his brother dogeza.

"So, do you have any plans for the weekend?"

"Besides watching movies and shopping, I'd also like to have some relaxing time."

"Then how about the three of us take a walk around the school?"

"I agree with Hiyori. However, Sakayanagi is physically weak, so don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

"If the need arises, I'll ask Hikigaya-kun to hold me like a princess."

"Wait, please don't say things like that in the cafeteria. It hurts when people look at you."

"I want to be held like that too..."

"Hiyori! You're adding fuel to the fire without realizing it!"
