Chapter 57

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned.

She could fully feel the meaningful gazes from the girls of the same age.

"Sure enough, it's no different from the creatures I met before."

She secretly sneered in her heart, subconsciously turned her head to look at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, trying to relax herself.

As a result, she discovered something.

The boy sitting by the window at the next table was looking at the same scenery as her, and even yawned.

Yukinoshita Yukino was stunned, her eyes flickered, and then she retracted her gaze.

Not long after, the homeroom teacher arrived and presided over everyone to go to the gymnasium to attend the opening ceremony.

After the ceremony, they returned to the class. In order for everyone to have an impression of others as soon as possible, the homeroom teacher asked everyone to introduce themselves.

Just after Yukinoshita Yukino finished her self-introduction, others became concerned about her family again.

This made her even more annoyed.

A few minutes later, the boy sitting next to her gave a mediocre self-introduction.

"Hikigaya Hachiman?"

She murmured and memorized the name.

A week passed without any ripples.

Hikigaya Hachiman gradually got used to the current pace of life.

He got up early in the morning to make breakfast and prepare lunch for himself. If he didn't have enough time, he could buy bread and other things instead. He went home to write immediately after school in the afternoon.

Because he was now more skilled, the time spent on writing had been greatly reduced, which made him more relaxed.

In addition, he found that after entering high school, it seemed that because of the accumulated experience, there were more small groups in the class.

In order to be able to talk to others and not be isolated, the shy students before also integrated into the group under the initiative of others.

It is worth mentioning that a few boys also gathered together, but for some reason, they did not invite him to join, and he was isolated to some extent.

Similarly, Yukinoshita Yukino encountered the same situation as him.

Yes, Yukinoshita herself gave people a feeling of being difficult to approach. If you take the initiative to strike up a conversation, it would be like hitting an iceberg.

Probably, everyone else except him thought so.

Anyway, in fact, Hikigaya Hachiman and Yukinoshita Yukino have become the oddballs in the class, independent of the mainstream circle and self-contained.

But this is not very important, whether for himself or for Yukinoshita.

Because they have a common personality trait, that is, they will not deliberately cater to the people around them, even if they will be isolated.

So, his current attitude towards Yukinoshita is probably a certain degree of appreciation?

Because of this, after a week of enrollment, the two have not said a word to this day.

Wednesday at noon.

After Hikigaya Hachiman finished eating the lunch box he prepared for himself, he packed up his things and turned around to see Yukinoshita took out a novel, a traditional novel that was more literary.

This is also normal. If there is no one to communicate with, then you can only immerse yourself in the world of books, and by the way, you can also enrich your spiritual world.

'It is not easy to maintain such an attitude all the time, idealistic girl, keep working hard. '

Thinking of this, Hikigaya Hachiman smiled slightly and turned his head away.

"Hikigaya-san, were you laughing at me just now?"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.

It was Yukinoshita, who sat next to him.

He had never expected that his little expression would be caught.

This made him a little embarrassed.

"No, I just remembered something happy."

Hikigaya Hachiman pretended to be calm.

This was not false, his smile just now was actually full of praise and encouragement.

But Yukinoshita-san didn't believe it, because from her point of view, she only saw someone inexplicably smiling at her.

"Is that so? Then please don't point your ugly smile at me next time, it may cause me to misunderstand, or even cause physical discomfort."

Yukinoshita Yukino said indifferently.

"Uh."

At this moment, his expression changed subtly.

89 Fairy's Law

He didn't care about Yukinoshita's venomous tongue at all.

Because he had been prepared for it, and he had heard similar words from Gogen before.

What made him dissatisfied was actually... he was misunderstood.

Although his behavior seemed a bit impolite, that was not his intention.

So he felt that he needed to make a statement.

"Yukinoshita, I really wasn't laughing at you just now. I just admire people like you."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked frankly, showing his sincerity.

"Appreciate me?"

Yukinoshita Yukino didn't expect him to explain it this way, and frowned.

"I wonder what Hikigaya is appreciating? In addition, is Hikigaya speaking from a higher perspective?"

Suddenly, her expression changed, and there was a hint of teasing in her smile.

"Of course not, this is an appreciation between classmates and peers, not a condescending perspective. As for the admiration, it is that Yukinoshita is very 'real' and will not deliberately cater to others. Even if she is isolated by others, she will never flatter."

Hikigaya Hachiman expressed his opinion.

"Real?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was touched by this word.

She thought quickly and said calmly.

"If this is a compliment, can I take it as a compliment from you, Hikigaya? Because your situation is no different from mine."

"You might as well think so."

He said noncommittally.

Yukinoshita Yukino stared at him for a few seconds, as if she wanted to confirm something from his expression.

"As for what I said before, I made a mistake in my judgment. I'm sorry."

As a perfectionist, Yukinoshita is a good child who corrects his mistakes when he knows they are wrong. He directly admits his mistakes and apologizes.

"I accept your apology."

Hikigaya Hachiman nodded with satisfaction and revealed the matter.

After this incident, Hikigaya Hachiman felt that there seemed to be a subtle change in Yukinoshita-san's attitude towards him.

But it might just be an illusion. It’s better not to be touched casually as a human being.

He didn't care much about this matter. Although he might have the habit of being a good teacher, for people like Yukinoshita-san, he thought that deliberate and self-righteous help might not be a good thing, so he chose to take things as they come this time. , stay aside and observe silently.

Observing people, things, and the world is actually of great help to his writing.

For example, the characteristics of the character Kurisu Makise can be combined with parts from Yukinoshita-san, Miss Goblin and others.

As for Rintaro Okabe’s character creation...

"Am I subconsciously referring to myself?"

Hikigaya Hachiman rubbed his chin with his hand, his expression changed slightly, and he fell into a long silence.

It seems like this is really the case?

Weekend in a few days.

"Hikigaya, I'm going to pay you a visit."

Hikigaya Hachiman received a call from Gozen Ruri.

He suddenly remembered that today seemed to be the day when the girl's "Magical Girl Strange Story" debuted.

For each other, this is a very memorable day.

He could still remember his excitement that day.

After a while, Wu Geng Liuli came to a nearby intersection according to the address given.

Hikigaya Hachiman went out to receive him and brought him into his home.

"Hikigaya, do you want to accept this?"

Wu Geng Liuli handed over the first volume of "Magical Girl Strange Tales" with both hands. She didn't know why, but her tone sounded like she was gritting her teeth.

This should be considered a good intention.

Hikigaya Hachiman nodded and accepted.

Wu Geng Liuli breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

This was the gift she thought was the most valuable, but she felt it was worthless to others, so she didn't call it a gift.

"Ding dong."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"Hachiman, why didn't you lock the door? Did you prepare it in advance because you knew that I was coming? Huh? Are there guests?"

The petite and cute face of Yamada Fairy poked out from behind the door.

"Hachiman?"

Wu Geng Liuli looked a little unnatural.

On the sofa in the living room, Wu Geng Liuli and Yamada Fairy sat on each side with different expressions.

"Wugeng Liuli, my former neighbor and friend, is also a light novelist who just made his debut today."

"Yamada Fairy, the author of "The Dark Fairy of Explosion", my current neighbor."

Hikigaya Hachiman introduced the two of them respectively.

"Hey, are you a newcomer who just debuted? Could it be this work called "Magical Girl Mystery Chronicles"?"

The Yamada Fairy noticed the light novel on the table and reached for it.

Unexpectedly, Wu Geng Liuli also reached out and pressed it down, and said coldly: "Please don't touch other people's things without their permission."

Hasn't this been given to me?

Hikigaya Hachiman wanted to intervene, but after looking around, he wisely gave up.

"What are you doing? Don't you know me? I am a popular author with more than two million books! Originally, I was going to give you some advice..."

Miss Goblin suddenly looked dissatisfied.

"I know you, the Yamada fairy who is often criticized for your writing skills on the Internet, right? You are really a lucky guy. If you didn't have such a good illustrator, you wouldn't have the results at all. In the final analysis, you are just flattering otakus. You're just an exhibitionist, you're not qualified to teach me."

Wu Geng Liuli made a plum blossom finger gesture with her right hand on her chin, her eyes full of contempt.

This passage can be said to be a critical blow, a sword and a fire, which completely penetrated Miss Elf's weakness.

"Shut up, newcomer! You don't understand at all! The fact that I have been criticized for my writing style is just the world's misunderstanding of me. I just want to make it simple and convenient for more people to read! As for illustrators, not everyone Everyone is fair! As for me being a nymphomaniac, it’s even more unreasonable! Do you understand that being naked is the most holy thing in the world?”

Yamada Fairy emphasized while stamping her feet angrily.

"don't know."

Wu Geng Liuli calmly shook her head.
