There is no system for the anime, so I have to work hard on my own.

Yukinoshita took a sip of tea and then looked at the dejected Hiratsuka Shizuka in front of her: "Teacher Hiranaka, where is the person you were talking about?"

Upon hearing this, Hiratsuka Shizuka lowered her head even more: "Everyone...everyone might have something to do, so that's why they didn't come?"

Hikigaya, standing by, looked at the two of them with a look of despair, his head buzzing. Why, why am I so honest...

If I hadn't come, I would probably be watching videos and enjoying the air conditioning, and maybe even eating the delicious food made by Komachi.

As he thought about it, he swallowed unconsciously, then looked at Yukinoshita and Hiratsuka Shizuka, and instantly came back to reality.

Yukinoshita tapped the table lightly with her fingers, making a tapping sound that made Hiratsuka Shizuka swallow.

"Then why did you insist on having us come? You even said it was something very important. Now, can you tell me?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka coughed dryly and turned her head away guiltily: "Well, actually, I just wanted to take this opportunity to get together with everyone..."

Yukinoshita didn't say anything, but her gaze towards Hiratsuka Shizuka became even colder: "Just because of such an insignificant thing?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled awkwardly, "This isn't a trivial matter. Is it true that maintaining relationships is so insignificant?"

As she spoke, her voice gradually grew louder, and she seemed to have gained more confidence. There was even a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Or, is it that you, Yukinoshita, have no friends..."

"That's why you say that?!"

Hikigaya looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka who was firing at full speed, a drop of cold sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead, and he quietly moved away.

He doesn't want to be affected for no reason later!

What happened next was just as he expected. Yukinoshita's face suddenly darkened. "How dare you say that!"

"I think it's you, Mr. Hiratsuka, who has no friends. Otherwise, what teacher would like to spend time with students during their vacation?"

Having said this, she paused slightly, deliberately dragging out the ending tone, and said with a hint of regret: "Or is it that no one wants to play with you?!"

"Then it's not impossible to play with you."

"after all--"

"Hiratsuka-sensei is so pitiful!"

"It's really worrying, isn't it?"

"You agree, right, Mr. Hiratsuka?"

At the end of her speech, she almost squeezed out each word through her teeth, which made Shizuka Hiratsuka's mouth twitch violently.

"That might disappoint you. The teacher is not like you. If nothing else, I still have quite a few friends!"

"Is that so? That's great." Yukinoshita nodded, then curled her lips and continued, "But they should all be married now, so do they have so much time to spend with you~"

As soon as these words were spoken, Hikigaya's gaze towards Yukinoshita changed instantly. It seemed as if a devil was whispering behind her.

As for Shizuka Hiratsuka, the smugness on her face disappeared completely in an instant, only a slightly stiff smile remained at the corners of her mouth, and she looked like she might cry at any time.

Seeing her like this, Yukinoshita felt a little regretful. Why didn't she control her mouth and say those words?

But things had come to this point, and it was impossible to ask her to give in, so the atmosphere became quiet.

No one spoke, they just looked at each other quietly.

Seeing this, Hikigaya took a few steps back again.

There was a "creak" sound, which was made by him accidentally bumping into the chair. Yukinoshita and Hiratsuka Shizuka looked over immediately.

Being looked at like this by the two, even the Great Teacher couldn't help but feel a little flustered, and raised his hand stiffly to greet: "Yo~"

Yukinoshita: "......"

Hiratsuka Shizu: "..."

Seeing the two of them were silent, Hikigaya coughed dryly: "Um, could you please stop looking at me like that? It's so embarrassing~"

"Hi~"

Yukinoshita gasped, her body instinctively leaning back, and said venomously: "You are so disgusting!"

Hikigaya scratched his head awkwardly: "Y-Really?"

Yukinoshita didn't hesitate at all: "Yes!"

Hikigaya immediately made a hurt expression and looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka, but found that she had turned her head away and was looking at the scenery outside the window, as if she was enjoying the scenery and didn't want to be disturbed.

Hikigaya couldn't help but lower his head and sigh: "I really shouldn't have come..."

Then, he thought of a certain guy and gritted his teeth: "By the way, Mr. Hiratsuka, where is that guy Ye Yusheng?"

When Shizuka Hiratsuka heard this name, the corner of her mouth twitched and she said helplessly: "That guy is traveling over there in the mainland..."

Hikigaya: "???"

"Teacher, didn't you say that yesterday?!"

"Didn't you say that he and Kato would definitely participate?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka spread her hands and shrugged. "I didn't expect that. When I checked my phone this morning, their IP address had already been transferred overseas."

Hikigaya took a deep breath and said, "So, if everyone is gone, what's the point of your party?!"

At this time, Yukinoshita gave him a cold look: "Hikigaya-kun, you are too noisy!"

Hikigaya immediately bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry."

Yukinoshita then withdrew her gaze: "Be more careful next time."

Hikigaya nodded rapidly: "Of course, of course."

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at this scene and her heart skipped a beat. Why did she feel that the atmosphere between these two people was a little off?

Then she shook her head again and told herself——

Illusion, all illusion!

There's already a couple in the class, if another pair comes out...

How can she, a single teacher in her thirties, survive?

So, it must be an illusion!

After comforting herself for a long time, she said to Hikigaya, "Hikigaya-kun, what you just said was not right."

“A small number of people doesn’t mean it’s meaningless!”

"on the contrary--"

"As long as there are people participating, then this opportunity is meaningful!"

As she spoke, she changed the subject: "Besides, if I hadn't asked you to come out, you would definitely be rotting at home now!"

Hikigaya looked at her in surprise: "How did you know?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka raised the corner of her mouth and said playfully, "Guess?"

Yukinoshita glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka speechlessly: "If I'm not mistaken, it must have been that girl Komachi who told you."

Hikigaya nodded upon hearing this: "I see."

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't refute either.

At this moment, Hikigaya felt a little unbalanced.

It would be fine if she just despised me at home, but she actually reported me to that old bitch, Shizuka Hiratsuka... ahem, this teacher...

Is there any justice or law in this?!

And that bastard Ye Yusheng, it would have been fine if he had just run away with his girlfriend knowing there was a trap, but what was too much was that he didn't even remind me!

Are we still good friends?!

Or--

That guy completely betrayed their friendship for the sake of beauty?! How despicable!!!

Yukinoshita blinked as she looked at Hikigaya whose expression kept changing. What on earth was this guy thinking?

I think I know...
