Chapter 53: The Boys I

Shouko Nishimiya opens the door to her room and she is greeted by a nervous looking face. It's Hachiman Hikigaya and he is not alone. She takes a quick peek over his shoulders and she is met with three other interesting looking faces.

For a second she wonders whether her other three roommates are expecting guests, but fifteen minutes ago Komi-san, Nanako Yukishiro and Kuroki Tomoko have left their room looking like they were in a bit of a hurry to go somewhere. Shouko Nishimiya thinks nothing of it any further and chalks it up to an interesting coincidence.

"Y-Yo." greets Hachiman.

"Nishimiya." grunts Accelerator.

"G-Good E-evening, Nishimiya-senpai." says cute little Shigeo 'Mob' Kageyama.

'Hello.' communicates telepathically Kusuo Saiki.

Shouko Nishimiya smiles. Hachiman is here and so are the members of the Psych Club. Over the month she has come to know these three boys quite well, owing to the fact that she is the manager of their club. Looking at them she is filled with a sense of pride and joy, how despite the earlier tension and awkwardness, she has proved to be of use to them while also doing such silly things like asking Accelerator, one of the strongest people in the entire campus, if he is doing okay. The white haired man had looked at her for a second, blushed out of embarrassment and then mumbled something she hadn't quite been able to decipher even though she could read his lips most of the time. There had been similar moments with the other two boys, like helping her little kohai, Mob with his emotions, which are linked to his powers. Though there was that time she hugged him out of nowhere to make him feel a bit better about himself and give him a little confidence boost and Kusou Saiki-kun had to use his powers to prevent him from progressing towards an embarrassing explosion. Apparently her idiotic move had made him reach 97% and above.

Oh no, she thought, dreading.

"Did you all come here to fire me as the manager of the Psych Club?" Shouko Nishimiya asked using the telepathic link that is established between them courtesy of Kusou Saiki.

Accelerator is about to curse but he checks himself. For some reason he is trying not to curse in front of her these days. Shouko doesn't understand why. She had already told him that she had heard far worse things while growing up and they were mostly intended for her, aimed at her inability to communicate because of her deafness. He had gone quiet after hearing that, then cursed and coughed up a small sorry too. From then on he has been trying to control his temper as well as cursing for some reason.

"The fuc-" Accelerator clears his throat. "I mean, what the hell made you think of that, Nishimiya."

"Because I'm not good at my job?" Shouko Nishimiya opines. Then the actual reason she fears about escapes from her throat. "It's because I'm normal and not a psychic like the rest of you."

"That's not true, senpai." Mob says. "We don't care about it at all. It's okay to not have any powers. I mean look at Hikigaya-senpai. He doesn't have any powers. But he is okay."

"I'm okay." Hachiman parrots.

'He's okay.' Kusou Saiki states. 'In fact, he is doing more than okay, all things considered. When we jumped him in the parking lot-'

Accelerator uses his crutch and slams it to Saiki-kun's gut. But the crutch is not able to hit its mark and it hovers inches away from his stomach, blocked by some kind of powerful force field. But his violent action has bore fruit as Kusou Saiki quickly amends his statement. "- As I was saying, we met up with Hikigaya-kun in the parking lot and introduced ourselves, quickly became friends and asked him to do a small little thing for us."

"A little favour." Accelerator hummed.

"A small request." Mob chirruped. "You know, because you are a part of the service club and this is what you guys do."

Hachiman gulped. He looked around her room for a second, under the hawk like vigil of Accelerator and then squeaked out a small question. It was a long shot and there was nothing she could do about it, but still. "Where are your roommates, Shouko-"

"Shouko!?" growled Accelerator.

"…S-Shouko." bumbled Mob.

"Shouko." repeated Kusou Saiki.

Hachiman Hikigaya saw his worthless life flash before his rotten dead fish eyes. His throat had gone dry and he had half a mind to ask for Shouko –

'I can read your thoughts, Hikigaya-kun.' Kusou Saiki conveyed telepathetically.

'We are sharing the same telepathic link, asshole.' snarled Accelerator.

'Hikigaya-senpai, what is your relationship with Nishimiya-senpai?' asked Mob.

What kind of mess had he gotten himself into this time, Hachiman thought, cursing his damn luck like a certain unlucky Kamijou Touma. But even that poor bastard couldn't possibly find himself in this kind of situation, being strong-armed by three powerful psychics into giving someone he cared about a talk, the talk, no, not that talk, the other one, about all men being wolves and having only one thing run through their mind at all times.

But at the moment only one thing was running through his mind and it was not having sex with a nameless, faceless, disembodied woman from some silly little wet dream. No, he had to think about living through this ordeal and finding himself safe and away from these guys who can literally listen to his each and every thought even as he wastes there time over this awkward situation. And he had to get through this situation, do what they got him here to do in the first place, talk to Shouko Nishimiya about men and what goes on around their mind.

But why is there no one else in her room. It can't be a coincidence. Before the telepath can stop him, he blurts out the question which has been in his mind for a while now, since he first entered into her room.

"Where are your roommates, Sho- I mean, Nishimiya-san?"

"I don't know. They just left suddenly, fifteen minutes ago."

Accelerator smirks to himself and Kusou Saiki fills him with the rest. Like Hachiman is slowly starting to expect, the communication takes place telepathetically. 'Her roommates have gone out on a group date. When we approached Kuroki Tomoko-san, she was very much onboard with the idea.'

Hachiman shakes his head. 'Figures.'

Meanwhile, at the parking lot, Shoko Komi, Nanako Yukishiro and Kuroki Tomoko find a young man of average height and average build, with blue eyes and black hair. He has a smile on his face.

『Hello everyone. My name is Misogi Kumagawa. I will be your Harem MC for the evening 』

Kuroki Tomoko doesn't look impressed. "Tch. Pathetic. You look like a kid who can't screw his way out of a wet dream. Are you sure you can handle a night with us, kid."

Misogi Kumagawa smirked. 『Speaking about screwing…』

A/N: Whenever, I think of Shouko Nishimiya, I can't help but plan a small arc with multiple chapters. Maybe it's because, I have her back story figured out. Plus I love writing her.

Now here are the options for the next chapter:

Option 1: The Boys II (Continue)

Option 2: Misaka Worst.

Option 3: Mikasa Ackerman.

Option 4: Asuna Yuuki.

Option 5: Hinata Hyuuga.

Please pick any of the above options or suggest a character in the review.

Hope everyone enjoyed reading this chapter.

Leave lots and lots of reviews, follow and fave.

Won't betray your dreams.

Trivia: The members of The Psych Club, i.e. Accelerator (A Certain Magical Index), Mob (Mob Psycho 100) and Kusou Saiki (Disastrous life of K. Saiki) all harbour a small crush on their manager, Shouko Nishimiya.

The situation is so bad, that they had to ask their arch-nemesis Misogi Kumagawa for help to take out the other three girls for the evening. Now what happens on their date, I will leave that to your imagination.
