Caijia blinked her beautiful eyes, and then said with inexplicable excitement, "I understand, you're a special friend, right?"
How could it become like this?
Hachiman was internally frantic, completely unable to understand why it meant this.
He was in the top three of his grade in language studies!
"Well, if you don't have many friends in your class, you can join some clubs."
"for example?"
Saika seems to trust only Hikigaya, to the point that she even needs him to advise her on matters within her own organization.
"For example?"
Hachiman looked bewildered. What kind of clubs does the school have?
How would someone like him, who just went home, know that?
"Tennis club or something? Sorry, I don't really know much about clubs."
"Hmm... but if that's the case, you must be pretty good at tennis, right?"
Ayaka's thoughts are always strange, at least more unpredictable than Hikigaya's.
Whether my skills are good or not, you'll have to ask my good partner, "Brother Wall".
"I can only say that I have never lost a tennis game."
The girl's expectant gaze made Hachiman subconsciously tell a little lie.
I've never won, and I've never lost.
He has a clear conscience.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
As expected, Caijia exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with admiration.
After hesitating for a while, she asked in an unnatural tone, "But my tennis skills aren't very good..."
"You can learn those things slowly... I used to be unable to even catch a ball for a whole week!"
Hikigaya inexplicably laughed.
He wasn't really trying to comfort Ayaka.
Are you kidding me?
He's practicing catching the ball against a wall; he's not a tennis prince.
"Pfft." Although Ayaka didn't quite believe it, she didn't raise any questions.
"If my skills improve, can I ask you to play ball together?"
She asked that question suddenly.
"Huh? It should be fine when I'm free..."
"Then it's a deal."
Caijia extended her fist, which should mean a fist bump.
That's a bit childish.
Hachiman thought this, but he still ran into her.
He definitely didn't want to feel the other person's skin!
……
After that day, Caijia was no longer seen at the familiar lunch spot.
The other person seemed to be just a passerby, who hurriedly came to his side and then hurriedly ran into the distance.
One day, Hachiman suddenly noticed that there were other people having lunch there.
Without giving it much thought, they quickly found another place to eat.
The new place was also deserted, except that the two places were very close to each other.
He was not disappointed.
Since the original location was public, it's normal for it to be "occupied" by someone else one day.
Therefore, he never harbors unfounded expectations.
Yes.
The way to avoid disappointment is simple: just never have unrealistic expectations.
Life is far too long.
Most people are just like raindrops slowly sliding down the glass window of life.
and so.
That's good.
That's fine.
That's fine...
……
The intersecting timelines overlapped frame by frame in Hachiman's eyes.
Until the moonlight poured down like flowing water.
He then realized that the silver-gray girl had been sobbing uncontrollably for some time.
Even so, the girl named Ayaka continued to try her best to convey what she wanted to say.
"I'm sorry, Hachiman... I've been keeping this from you all along."
"I am actually a girl..."
"After that day, I didn't intentionally avoid contacting you..."
"I'm really...sorry..."
"But...I really...like you so much...."
......
......

?
what? What?
Who's confessing their love to whom?
Upon hearing this, the Ministry of Revenue froze on the spot.
Is Totsuka Saika a woman?
Our advisor didn't mention this!
He hurriedly looked around, trying to understand the situation on the field, but was shocked to find that almost everyone on the field was very calm.
It's one thing if it's just a few people in the Service Department, since they're all in the same department.
The problem is that even Yeshan and Ebina only showed slight surprise.
It was as if everyone had expected this.
Wouldn't that make him look stupid?
[Ugh, I don't understand at all, but anyway, as long as Hachiman agrees, tonight's confession should go smoothly, right?]
The Minister of Revenue was so anxious he wanted to scratch his head, but his remaining rationality forced him to suppress his inner turmoil. No matter how foolish he was, he knew how to read the situation.
But the question now is, will Hachiman agree?
Time passed second by second.
No one had ever felt time pass so slowly.
Hikigaya, however, remained motionless and unresponsive, as if frozen in place.
Unlike his body, his brain was actually operating at high speed at this moment.
He had long suspected Caijia's gender, and with Su Qing's hints on the first day, getting the real answer couldn't be easier.
Does he like Caijia?
Honestly, I do like it. I like it so much that I can't like it any more.
He used to be able to numb himself by saying that the other person was a legitimate "cross-dresser".
It's because of the trauma he experienced in high school that he still believes women are troublesome creatures.
No, it should be said that all numb interpersonal interactions are like this.
He once thought he would really grow old alone and be kicked out of the house by his parents (because he couldn't find a partner and was unwilling to accept blind dates).
I'm sorry, but he really did have that thought.
But the reality is that Hachiman has now made true friends and found what is called "real relationships".
Reason told him that he had truly transformed.
No longer in that adolescence where one mistakenly believes that kindness given as affection is simply "love".
He may not have seriously considered what liking someone means, but at this moment, the throbbing in his heart and the boiling in his blood were telling him the answer.
So what exactly is he hesitating about?
Move! Move faster!
Hikigaya opened his mouth, only to find to his astonishment that he couldn't utter a single syllable.
Has he really... been prepared to take full responsibility?
Leaving aside the fact that this incident will undoubtedly cause quite a stir throughout the school, the other party will certainly be involved in such a disturbance.
Actually, those are all minor matters.
The key point is that the concealment of a woman's gender is not just the behavior of the individual.
Back in his freshman year, he had heard Hiratsuka Shizuka vaguely hint that it was a problem with her family.
Damn, damn!
[Knowing nothing and understanding nothing, how should I respond to Saika's feelings at this moment?]
Then.
Would it be better to refuse...?
Ugly, real.
Even if it's just for a fleeting moment.
Hikigaya's mind still subtly harbored such filthy thoughts.
Are you kidding me?
This alone is absolutely not acceptable!
at that time.
Seven seconds have passed.
In the brief silence, almost everyone was on tenterhooks about the two men's "fate" that night.
They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
At that moment, a light rain suddenly began to fall.
Scattered like stars.
The weather forecast did indeed predict rain tonight.
Just as Hachiman was about to open his mouth, no one knew what he was going to say.
