Chapter 866 I Have Many Friends
Chapter 866 I Have Many Friends
"Kacha——"
Even though I was very careful to control my strength, and my ability to control my body had improved significantly in my self-assessment, when I opened the door the hinges, which had not been maintained for a long time, still disturbed it, making a harsh sound.
Hikigaya Hachiman looked down at the door hinges in dissatisfaction. Although he was just opening the door normally, going out at six o'clock in the morning on a holiday always made him feel guilty, as if his backpack was not filled with spare clothes.
However, after careful recollection, he found that he really could not blame the door and the parts. After all, it had been a long time since the last time he was threatened by Komachi to go to Chiba City to play without his family's consent. When his father wanted to teach him a lesson after he came back, he quickly hid in the room. The father, who had no place to vent his worries about his beloved daughter, had to severely teach his son's door a lesson.
But even so, even if the door creaks again, it still has to be closed. After all, an adolescent boy’s room is a den of demons that even an Akuma would be scared of (laughs).
He moved the sword bag on his back out of the door frame first, then pushed the door lock with his hand slightly upward, hoping that the hinge would stop making annoying noises when it no longer had to bear such a heavy weight.
"Zhi——"
FXXK!
Hikigaya Hachiman raised his middle finger in his heart.
"Um... um... eh?"
A sound like that of a small animal came from the sofa in the living room. To be specific, it was the sound of a girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old, who was at the cutest age, who had just woken up. To be more specific, it was the voice of the cutest sister in the world.
Hikigaya paused in his stealthy movements, and sure enough, the next moment, a piece of hair like a bird's nest appeared on the back of the sofa.
"Ouni-chan~~?"
Hikigaya Komachi rubbed her eyes and one of the straps of her small vest slipped off her shoulder. She looked confused and cute.
"Ha...ha...I woke you up, Komachi."
Hachiman scratched his head and spoke in a low voice, feeling very guilty, as if he was being interrogated.
"You want to go out?"
Komachi said in her husky voice that is unique to waking up from sleep.
Hachiman first looked at the huge French window in the living room facing the courtyard with caution, and made sure that the curtains were drawn so that no one could see his sister's cute and helpless appearance. Only then did he feel relieved. But he still walked over and pulled up a blanket from the sofa and covered his sister.
"Thank you, Onii-chan~~"
Komachi narrowed her eyes and thanked her sweetly.
Oops, I will definitely get diabetes if I consume so much sugar so early in the morning!
Hachiman suddenly covered his heart and stepped back, but his face showed an expression that showed he had no regrets in death.
"Yeah, I made an appointment with my friends."
After explaining, he quickly added:
"It's definitely not because I'm unwilling to give up my wonderful vacation because I don't have any friends to hang out with, so I pretend to have a friend invite me to the park, but in fact I go to the park alone to sit on a lounge chair and compete with homeless people for the best position to bask in the sun, then look at my phone all day, and go home when the battery runs out."
call--
It’s been a while since I’ve said something that fits my personality, and it’s a bit difficult to say it all in one breath.
Hikigaya Hachiman sighed inwardly, and at the same time he also noticed the improvement in his lung capacity.
Hikigaya Komachi was stunned for a moment, then she started to giggle, her body trembling and causing the blanket to slide off again.
"Hahaha~~~"
She almost laughed to tears.
While raising her hand and using her index finger to wipe away the solid-liquid mixture from the corner of her eye, Komachi said in a stern voice:
"Really? You're trying to make Komachi happy by saying something like this so early in the morning."
Hachiman's face was filled with a smirk, and those words came out almost instinctively, which was really hard to forget.
After laughing, Yimoduo looked up at her brother and said seriously:
"Onii-chan, you don't need to do that anymore."
Hikigaya was slightly stunned when he heard his sister's words. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and then returned. Komachi exclaimed again, saying that she didn't expect to see such a vivid expression on her brother's face.
Yes, now I don't need to worry about what I should do when people ask me where I went during the holiday. I should make up some nonsense from the comic book that would be exposed as soon as they hear it. Although I have never been exposed because no one has ever asked me, I have written a lot of useless drafts.
What I need to consider now is whether I can cope with the "enthusiasm" of my friends.
"Ok!"
Hikigaya Hachiman nodded vigorously, and walked towards the door as his sister said goodbye with a farewell. Just as he was about to change his shoes, he turned around and opened his mouth:
"Don't open the door to strangers, not even if they are delivering newspapers, not even if they are selling things, not even if they are the police. Even if they show their ID, just put the milk in the box at the gate of the yard..."
"Onii-chan! We didn't order any milk at all!" Komachi yelled.
Hikigaya smiled heartily, gave a thumbs up and said: "Very good, Komachi, you have already developed a preliminary awareness of anti-fraud. I am very pleased, brother, but my worry about you has only been reduced by less than one thousandth!"
Then there was a long list of tips on how to order takeout, how to pretend there were a lot of adults at home, how to report to parents and brother when going out with friends, and how to emphasize that brother was not sleeping in and not taking care of sister because he stayed up late reading comics...
If you want to know why there are only two brothers and sisters in such a big family, just look at this huge house. They don’t need to work to make money, handsome guy!
Anyway, after having friends with whom he could joke, whenever Hikigaya was asked about his parents, he would always describe them as insurance investigators flying around the world, or adventurers like Lara. And because his friends were all a bunch of idiots, he would always get a lot of exclamations to satisfy his vanity.
In short, all this chattering is like chanting a sutra, not only because he is afraid of his parents who will suddenly call home to check on him, but also because he is the one who loves his sister the most in the world~~~
"...I won't say anything about you falling asleep on the sofa while watching TV last night, but you must pay attention to your physical condition. If you feel even the slightest bit uncomfortable, call me immediately and I will ask my friends to take me back. Wait, you might suddenly faint, so how about this, send me a voice message every minute, and I will send you the specific content of the voice message in real time..."
"Ah ah ah ah ah--"
Hikigaya Komachi opened her mouth and yelled, then jumped up from the sofa, ran to the entrance in three or two steps, picked up the shoes and stuffed them into her brother's arms, opened the door and pushed her brother outside.
"Okay, okay, Onii-chan, you're going to be late!"
At the same time, a huge monster blocking the entrance of the Hikigaya family courtyard let out a strange laugh that it had been preparing for a long time.
"Aku, Aku, wah-la-la-la~~"
Zaimokuza Yoshiki put his hands on his hips, and having already determined the position of the sun, he turned his back to it, making his body and shadow look as huge as possible.
"My dear friend, you..."
"Komachi! Hurry up and go in, block the door with the sofa immediately, the world has changed to a monster world! I'm going to climb out from the back yard and find someone to take care of the monster!"
Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly pushed his sister into the house, and walked towards the stranger called friend while complaining expressionlessly.
"I say, Zaimokuza, didn't I tell you not to greet me outside? Didn't you see that the lady across the street from my house was about to call the police? Let me tell you, my community still follows the customs of the ancient municipality."
Although he was already choking on his tongue, Zaimokuza still asked curiously, "What custom is that?"
“It’s the death penalty.”
Hikigaya Hachiman smiled sinisterly: "Death penalty without any trial. As long as you are judged to be a threat to the community, you will be executed directly."
Zaimokuza, who was bigger than a bear but so timid that he would be robbed by elementary school students in the game hall, shuddered all over, twisted his neck with a trembling stiff body, and looked furtively at the house across the street. As expected, he saw an aunt with a cauliflower head burning in her hair looking at him, and she seemed to be holding a stick-like weapon in her hand hidden by the doorpost.
"..."
As if he had been electrocuted, Zaimokuza jumped up on the spot and ran towards the street corner at a speed that was totally inconsistent with his huge body.
"Hachiman! I'll be waiting for you at the train station!"
Hidden in the smoke and dust was the faint sound of a mosquito.
"This guy……"
Hikigaya Hachiman gave a wry smile, turned around and waved goodbye to his sister, then trotted off to catch up with Zaimokuza.
Komachi put on her slippers and walked to the street outside the door, smiling sweetly at her brother's back. The aunt opposite the Hikigaya family finally opened the iron gate of the yard and walked out.
"Yeah, Hachiman finally made friends. He's really grown up."
The aunt leaned her broom against the doorpost and sighed.
"Hahaha, yes~~"
Komachi giggled, but didn't want to discuss her brother's personal problems with others, so she smoothly changed the topic to the discount promotions at the nearby supermarket today.
The aunt immediately perked up and started talking a lot.
Although the useless brother always talks about gas issues for a long time when he goes out, it is actually the cute Komachi who buys groceries and cooks at home~~
In fact, Hikigaya caught up with Zaimokuza before he even reached the train station. This guy was hiding behind a telephone pole, snooping around with a typical sneaky look.
This guy...even if the patrol saw him, they would definitely not think he was a bad person, but would squat down and ask him in a coaxing voice if he remembered the way home? Then they would severely teach his parents a lesson, questioning how they could let a mentally handicapped child go out alone.
"Let's go. If we don't hurry we'll miss the nearest train."
Hikigaya sighed and said helplessly.
This disdainful tone finally aroused Zaimokuza's long-accumulated dissatisfaction.
"Hey!"
"Listen to me!"
Zaimokuza shouted softly:
"Hachiman, you were so happy that you almost shouted when your friends were waiting for you at the door during the holidays! And you put on a disgusted face. You don't look cute at all, so stop pretending to be a tsundere! It's disgusting!"
Hikigaya yelled impatiently, "I'm so annoyed! If you keep saying that, I won't wait for you at your doorstep tomorrow morning!"
Upon hearing this, Zaimokuza immediately looked at his best friend beside him with grief and anger, unable to believe that he was such a shameless person.
"How could you do this? We clearly agreed to take turns waiting at each other's doorsteps! So that the neighbors would look at us with new eyes..."
“Aaaaaahh! Asshole! Don’t say that! This is still my neighborhood! If someone hears me, I’ll be dead again!”
Hikigaya Hachiman screamed madly.
“Anyway, if you don’t dare to wait for me at my door tomorrow, I will definitely tell the Totsuka family about this!
Oh, that’s right! It would be better if it was Totsuka who was being tsundere! Oh, yes, I must ask Totsuka to say ‘I’m so annoyed!’ to me later, hehehe…”
"Asshole! Stop smiling so silvery when you yell Ayaka's name, you bastard!"
"A8 Dream, you are the one, you called Ayaka Ayaka so intimately, and the smile on your face is just like playing an 18x game, you guy..."
"Baga, shut up..."
"You're the bastard! I'm going to crush your head with my mind!"
"You have a cross-eye. If you really want to use your mind, at least put your index finger between your eyebrows! Or just watch me kill you with the Dark Demon Sealing Slash."
"..."
After bickering all the way, the two finally arrived at the tram station and caught the next tram.
As soon as they stepped into the carriage, the two boys who were so powerful just now immediately became autistic. They took off the sword bags and protective gear bags on their backs and neatly tucked them between their legs, not daring to say a word.
However, when they saw strangers in the car occasionally looking at their sword bags, they all straightened their heads and chests, revealing an expression that said, "You guessed it right, we are the core members of the sports club who have to practice extra even during the holidays!"
After getting off the train, I found that the platform was not the familiar one closest to Sobu High School, but a place in the suburbs.
Hikigaya took out his phone and checked it. He was shocked to find that it was almost eight o'clock. As expected, when chatting with Komachi, he always ignored the passage of time. After all, he was having so much fun.
"We have to hurry up, or we'll be taught a lesson by our seniors."
Following his greeting, Zaimokuza's expression changed, and he started jogging down the road with the two of them.
After running for a while, I heard the sound of a motorcycle approaching.
"Hey, Hachiman, Acai——"
When they heard the shouts, they turned around and saw that it was Hata Goro, Mihashi Ryoma and Kuroda Kaito.
Hata Goro greeted enthusiastically, "Let us take you there. It's still quite a distance from here to the dojo, isn't it?"
"Come on up and I'll give you a ride on my new motorcycle?"
Kuroda Kaito also patted the motorcycle, but when they heard the word "new", both Hata Goro and Mihashi Ryoma had bitter expressions.
"But we don't have helmets."
Hikigaya hesitated.
"Isn't your kendo helmet in the package?"
Hata Goro was being funny when he said this, because in the first generation of the Rampage Angels, no one wore a helmet. After all, everyone spent three hours taking care of their hair before going out, and wouldn't it be ruined if they put on a helmet?
However, in order to hide the fact that he had no friends, Hikigaya Hachiman, who was very good at deceiving himself, could sit in the park and bask in the sun all day. After thinking for a moment, he said "oh", took out his kendo helmet and put it on his head, and then sat behind Hata Goro.
Zaimokuza followed suit and sat on Kaito Kuroda's new motorcycle.
It was visible to the naked eye that the originally round tires were flattened in an instant, and the sturdy metal frame of the motorcycle also made a squeaking sound under the heavy load.
Me, me...my new motorcycle!
Kuroda Kaito's face darkened.
A few minutes later, they arrived at their destination.
A vast dojo, the base of the runaway angels.
After Hojo Kyosuke successfully obtained the qualification to inherit the position of the next head of the Hokushin Ittoryu family, a few large black characters appeared on the blank plaque.
