Hachiman and Yui arrived together at home, and as they do, they saw their son Hiroshi, doing his math homework alone.
"Hikki look Hiroshi's working hard" Yui said.
"Yeah, it's math right? the hardest subject for him" Hachiman said.
Seeing that Hiroshi is having a hard time Yui comes to her son and sits beside him.
"Hiroshi, want me to help you on it, your mother here is pretty good in math you know?" Yui said, however
"Mom it's okay, our teacher told us that if we work hard, our hard work will pay off, so I'll be doing my best" Hiroshi replied.
Both Hachiman and Yui were surprised at his answer, with this, Yui insisted that she should teach him, but Hachiman stopped her.
"Right now I think it's best for Hiroshi to work this one all alone, he'll come to you when he needs to" Hachiman said.
Later the family had dinner, then.
"Hikki" Yui calls Hachiman but there's no response.
"Hikki" she tries again but there's still no response.
"HIKKI!" Yui raised her voice and Hachiman got back to his senses.
Hachiman apologizes.
"I guess you don't like my cooking huh?" Yui asked in a tsundere tone.
"Yui it's not that It's just, something happened at the medical mission" Hachiman reasoned out.
Yui can read Hachiman's mind, she knows that he's hiding something, and that she's not buying his reasons, however she also has a feeling that her husband right now it not in the mood to talk, so she forgives him.
Hachiman on the other hand was in disbelief, he was shocked, the Saika totsuka he knew back in high school was a sweet cheerful girl looking boy, with a very cute smile that even he who is straight tends to blush.
However now, it seems that the Saika he knew back then is gone now.
Earlier
"It's been a while since I had a medical check up" Saika said.
"Okay?" Hachiman reacted, as he took Saika's blood sample.
Saika still has his babyfaced and feminine looks, but the thing is, that right now he's all alone in one room, in short, he became a Hikkikomori.
Hachiman looks at Saika's apartment, and it's very dark, the place is still clean, but there's a lot of things that Saika has which makes it hard for Hachiman to move, specifically the things that Saika most have are books and game and papers.
Saika scratches his head, "sorry my room is kind of messy" he said.
"It's okay" Hachiman said, "but don't you have one too many things, if you don't need them why not throw them away" he asked.
"I collect my garbage and leave it outside my door, you see I don't really like going outside, and since the garbageman doesn't come here straight I leave a money when I put my garbage outside" Saika answered.
"But still you have a lot of things here" Hachiman said.
"Yeah, I guess it's because I'm still on the verge of soul searching" Saika said.
"And how cana you survive if you don't leave your place?" Hachiman asked.
"I do a lot of stuff, like games and making manga" Saika answered.
Hachiman doesn't know what to say, and so there's a silence for a while, and then.
"Totsuka, you did change" Hachiman said.
Saika smiles, "Yeah, I guess I did" he said.
Hachiman then ended Saika's medical check up, he looked at the results and was a little shocked.
"Totsuka, I don't know how are you right now but please keep your body in check" Hachiman said.
"I told you I'm fine" Saikka replied.
Hachiman continued his job and fortunately, his encounter with Saika didn't bother him from fulfilling his task, but he can't help but think of what he has become.
Present time
After Taking Shower Hachiman proceedss to play a game in which he's hookedd up with for days, which is called Dreamworld quest, he's still a rookie in the game but regardless he enjoys playing it.
His username is called DOCTOR and while playing, Hachiman finds himself in a dire situation but then.
*KILL
"White Tiger, thanks" Hachiman said to a player whose username is WHITE TIGER, however he doesn't know that the player's true identity is Saika.
"It's nothing" White tiger said. Then.
"Hey Doctor, do you think this world is fair?" White Tiger asked.
"what do you mean?" Hachiman/ Doctor asked.
"I mean, when it comes to things like efforts, why do you think some people just spend watching anime all night, getting into parties and would still do good, while there are others who study 24 hrs, to the point where he'll get sick and neglect his friends, but would still fail, actually even in careers, you see there are some who found out what they are good at in a young age, then there's those who are in their 30s but still doesn't know what to do in life.
Their peers started to force them, and because of that they ended being a neet" Saika/ White tiger said.
Hachiman was surprised at what Saika said, he wants to reply however he looks at the time and it's midnight already, and also, Saika has logged out, so Hachiman just went to bed.
The days continued as Hachiman attends the medical mission however, Saika has suddenly stopped playing, and thus decreasing his interest in playing the game soon, the medical mission ended, and Hachiman decides to celebrate by drinking alone, but then.
'Hikitani?" Kakeru saw Hikigaya, much the to latter's dismay because he wants to have a good time alone.
And with this he went out drinking with SANITY, particularly Kakeru and Saki, things went more Awkward when Kakeru started hitting the customer next to them, in which Kakeru ended up heartbroken because the woman is already married, the dinner went fine, and Hachiman remembered Saki saying that she wants to thank Saika.
He was about to say something but was cut when his phone vibrates, but when he checks it, Saki's eyes widen.
"You play Dreamworld quest too? Cool, I should add you" Saki said, her nickname is Yuki ona since her character is an ice princess, and then.
"What the he, Hikigaya you sure suck at making nicknames" she followed as she laughs, Hachiman still keeps his stoic face.
Hachiman just ignore Saki,But then he remembers what she said before.
"Kawasaki, about Saika, if you wanted to thank him personally, I can take you to him personally" Hachiman said.
This made Saki Happy, as she really wanted to see Saika, and so they decided to do that tomorrow after their work is done.
And so the next day, after Saki has finished rehearsing she went to Hachiman's clinic so the latter could lead her the way, however, as soon as the two got ready, Hachiman received a call from Yui.
"Hikki, I know it's late but please don't close your clinic yet, I found Sai-chan on the floor, I'll tell you the details later alright" Yui said.
The news shocked both Hachiman and Saki, especially Hachiman, since he regrets not giving him further evaluation.
After some time, they heard a honk from a car, it was Yui and Hayato who is carrying Saika on his back.
Hachiman immediately put Saika on the bed and he noticed that he was thinner than the last time he saw him, because of this he quickly grabbed a dextrose so Saika would feel better.
Fortunately Komachi will spend the night at Hachiman's place so there's someone who is watching Hiroshi, which means Yui can stay to help Hachiman.
"so what happened Yui?" Hachiman asked.
Yui's P.O.V/Flashback
I was in Akihabra earlier, one of the teachers at the school I'm working at asked me to have coffee with her, after that we separated ways, then suddenly"
"FIRE!" someone screams.
Of course panic took over since the fire started in a small apartment , as the smoke becomes more clearer, I think Hikki you heard it in the news if you've watched it, thank God though, the fire quickly died and there were no casualties.
But of course the Firefighters has to check everything, they started mentioning names, but as they do, I noticed one apartment that caught my eye, when people are getting outside, no one I getting out there, and then.
"Saika Totsuka" the police said.
I was surprised, I didn't know he lives there, however Sai-chan was nowhere to be found, so I immediately went to check that apartment since everything is alright now the Firefighters said, one of them did accompany me, but since the door is locked we forced our way into his place.
Much to my surprise when I saw Sai-chan lying on the floor, he's thin, and what makes me conclude that he passed out not because of the smoke, but because of his poor health, the firefighter decides to take care of him but I told him that my husband is a doctor and that he owns a clinic, and that I'm also a nurse.
And after that I was allowed to take responsibility of Sai-chan and Hayato saw us and offered us a ride.
End
Out of the blue, Hayato waves his hand and leaves.
"Sorry guys I got somewhere to go, and um, I kinda don't feel easy in going to hospitals and clinics" Hayato said.
Everyone wondered about what he said but forgets it later because Saika is their prority right now.
Some time later.
"huh, where am I?" Saika asked, he finally woke up.
Upon hearing his voice Hachiman Yui and Saki quickly went beside him, and Saki was the first who hugs him.
"Thank you I'm Glad you're okay" Saki said.
"You seriously got me worried out there, but don't worry everything is alright" Yui followed.
"I should have given you some more tests, I'm sorry" Hachiman said as well.
Saika looks around him and then.
"The Deadline, LET ME GO HOME!" Saika suddenly shouted, he doesn't have enough strength but he wants to go, he saw the dextrose being attached to him arm and was about to rip it off without any hesitation, but he was stopped by Yui.
Yui tries to calm him down but it was no use, though Saika doesn't have enough strength, he fights back through words.
"LET ME GO I HAVE TO GO BACK!" Saika yelled.
Hachiman was surprised at his sudden change of personality, from a cheerful trap to a hot headed neet.
Eventually Saika calmed down when Saki rushed at him as she gives him a hug.
"I don't know what happened, but I'll be always by your side got it, because *blushes* you're a special friend" Saki said.
Saika was flattered at her words and without realizing it he finds himself hugging Saki as well.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, I just needed to go back and finish my work, I can't be a loser forever" Saika said.
"What do you mean? You're not a loser" Saki asked.
"IT'S NOT THAT! I tried so many stuff but I always end up failing, but I can't fail on this one either, I make sure I'll make the best game in the world." Saika answer.
