The Exorcism Tale of Hachiman

Soon, more than ten minutes had passed.

When Hachiman Hikigaya finished washing up in the bathroom and came out, Komachi had just finished making breakfast and was sitting at the table waiting for him.

"I'm starting!" x2

After praying with his hands clasped together in front of him, Hachiman Hikigaya picked up the sandwich in front of him, which contained his sister's love, and took a bite.

Hmm, I accidentally put too much salt in my breakfast today.

It seems even Komachi makes mistakes occasionally when cooking.

Even so, Hachiman Hikigaya ate the entire sandwich in his hand without changing his expression.

"Al?"

Komachi, who was secretly laughing to herself, looked at Hachiman Hikigaya, whose expression remained unchanged, and her eyes revealed confusion.

I clearly added a lot of salt, so why is there no reaction from Hachiman Hikigaya at all?

Could it be that my brother really got knocked out?

"what are you doing?"

Hachiman Hikigaya picked up the milk next to him and drank it all in one gulp. As soon as he put the cup down, he saw Komachi staring at him with teary eyes.

Did this guy put salt in both sandwiches just to prank him?

"Onii-chan, are you out of your mind?"

However, just as Hachiman Hikigaya was extremely worried about Komachi, Komachi asked him a question with a tearful voice.

Hikigaya Hachiman: ........

"No problem..."

Hachiman Hikigaya's lips twitched as he answered Komachi's question.

"Really?"

"real....."

"You didn't lie?"

Why would I lie?

What does 1 + 1 equal?

"........"

........

Finally, after a great deal of effort from Hachiman Hikigaya, he succeeded in convincing Komachi that his brain had not been damaged by the mixed doubles beatings from his parents.

"What? You actually made Komachi Shiro worry for nothing..."

After confirming that Hachiman Hikigaya was alright, Komachi immediately returned to her usual lively self.

"Yes, yes. It is truly disrespectful of me to have caused Lady Komachi such worry..."

While clearing the plates off the table, Hachiman Hikigaya followed Komachi's swinging legs on the sofa, giving his sister a perfunctory answer.

On another note, isn't Komachi dressed a bit too lightly at home? Or does this guy not treat him like a man at all?

Intuitively, Hachiman Hikigaya felt it was best not to delve too deeply into the matter.

After all, the outcome might be so devastating that he might become withdrawn on the spot.

After arranging the washed dishes, when Hachiman Hikigaya pushed open the door with his schoolbag, Komachi was already sitting on the back rack of his bicycle.

"Hachiman Hikigaya, depart!"

Upon seeing Hachiman Hikigaya emerge, Komachi immediately shouted a slogan.

However, Hachiman Hikigaya had already seen through the guy's true nature of not wanting to walk.

He gestured for Komachi to get off the bicycle first. After everything was ready, he climbed onto the bicycle and tilted his head to indicate that Komachi could sit on it.

"Wow, bro, you know what? The way you tilted your head just now was surprisingly cool!"

She jumped onto the bicycle, wrapped her arms around Hachiman Hikigaya's waist, and chattered away while looking at the scenery along the way.

"Oh right, that line you just said scored really high on Komachi!"

"is it?"

Hachiman Hikigaya simply smiled at Komachi's words.

Just look at those dead fish eyes on his face?

How could he possibly be associated with being handsome?

Therefore, Hikigaya Hachiman told Komachi that he didn't take it to heart in order to soothe his young mind.

Soon, they arrived at the fork in the road where they would part ways.

"See you this afternoon, Onii-chan!"

She nimbly jumped off her bicycle, waved to Hachiman Hikigaya, and then slowly walked towards her school.

Hachiman Hikigaya waved back, then continued riding his bicycle toward Soubu High School.

As we passed a residential intersection, a small yellow dog suddenly darted out from another street.

Then came a panicked female voice: "Ah, Sabre!"

The bicycle tires made a screeching noise as they rubbed against the ground.

Hachiman Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief after the car stopped.

I almost bumped into that little dog...

Suddenly, Hachiman Hikigaya felt something tugging at his trouser leg.

He looked down and saw that the little dog he had almost bumped into was now lying on his trouser leg, panting and wagging its tail.

"Why do you look so familiar?"

Hachiman Hikigaya picked up the little guy on his lap and held him up in front of him to examine him closely.

The more he looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.

"what...."

Just as I was about to recall something, a girl with her hair tied in a bun, wearing pajamas, and holding a dog leash ran over.

Is this your dog?

He looked at the chain on the girl's wrist, then at the little thing on his own wrist.

Hachiman Hikigaya handed it over and asked.

"Um, thank you...."

The girl in front of him blushed as she took the dog.

However, just as she put the puppy on the ground and was about to put the leash back on, the puppy ran back to Hachiman Hikigaya's side.

"This guy... seems to like me a little..."

Looking at the guy sticking to him, Hachiman Hikigaya looked at the girl in pajamas with a bit of helplessness.

"Ah, that's true..."

"I never expected to run into Hachiman Hikigaya under these circumstances," Yui Yuigahama said softly, her head bowed.

She then knelt down next to Hachiman Hikigaya, holding Sabre in one arm and putting the dog leash around its neck with the other.

This time, Sabre didn't struggle; he just kept wagging his tail.

Seeing Sabre shaking so happily, Hachiman Hikigaya couldn't help but lower his head and take a curious look.

Then.....

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

After fastening the dog leash again, Yui Yuigahama stood up only to find Hachiman Hikigaya covering his nose with his hand.

"N-nothing..."

After giving a stammering reply, Hachiman Hikigaya quickly hopped on his bicycle and fled as if his life depended on it.

"Wait a moment..."

Watching Hachiman Hikigaya's departing figure, Yui Yuigahama opened her mouth, but still didn't have the courage to call out to him.

Another failure...

Only after Hachiman Hikigaya's figure had completely disappeared from sight did Yui Yuigahama, preoccupied, lead Sabre towards home.

After a minor mishap on his way to school, Hachiman Hikigaya arrived at school safely.

As he opened the classroom door, the entire class fell silent.

Everyone stared at Hachiman Hikigaya, and the question popped into their heads: Is this guy a student in our class?

After a quick glance around the classroom, Hachiman Hikigaya returned to his seat, hung up his bag, took out his book for the first lesson, flipped to the section to be covered, and then began his daily ritual of spacing out, resting his chin on his left hand.

One class, two classes...

As the bell rang again and again, the morning passed quickly.

Hachiman Hikigaya looked up at the words the teacher was constantly marking on the blackboard and felt utterly bored.

So he shifted his gaze and began to observe his classmates for the first time.

Moving from the podium towards the back of the classroom, the first students to come up were a few whose names I couldn't even recall.

They were staring at the blackboard, writing furiously, looking every bit like good students.

Hachiman Hikigaya's gaze then continued downwards.

Suddenly, a very cute girl appeared in his line of sight.

"Hey, are there any girls in our class who are this cute?"
