Chapter 6: Joining the Service Club?
After the school bell rang, a bald-headed middle-aged teacher announced that the first day of class was officially over. The students cheered, but there were also many students who were very calm like Shido.
Shido picked up his backpack, and then followed Hiratsuka's request, heading toward the teacher's office with Hachiman.
But they didn't talk to each other, so instead of saying that they came together, they just happened to be going in the same direction.
Arriving at the door of the faculty room, Shido knocked gently on the door. After hearing Hiratsuka's answer, he slowly opened the door, walked in and said politely:
"Excuse me!"
In the faculty room, Shizuka, dressed in white, was waiting for the two with a flat face. On her desk, there were two compositions.
And there was an ashtray next to it. This woman obviously didn't want to hide her smoking habit. Wait, wasn't she supposed to be a model teacher?
"You two are here..."
Hiratsuka quietly tapped on the table and looked at the two students left and right.
"Here, Hiratsuka-sensei, what do you need us for?"
Shido asked in a bit of an anxious tone, and at the same time, he looked at his watch a few times, showing that he was in a hurry.
Hiratsuka picked up the composition on the desk and shook it, and then asked the two of them:
"Itsuka, Hikigaya, do you know what the topic of the composition was for the vacation homework assigned by the teacher?
Shido did not answer, because he had forgotten, maybe he didn't know at all. If it was like the original, it should be a topic like "Looking back at high school life"!
Sure enough, Hachiman turned his head in a little embarrassment, and then responded softly:
"An essay with the title "Looking Back at High School Life"..."
"Then why did you write such an arrogant composition! I don't understand, why did you write it like this?!"
Hiratsuka silently glanced at the composition in his hand.
"Is there a problem with that?"
Hachiman asked, dumbfounded.
Hiratsuka sighed quietly, looked at the eyes of Hachiman, and then said:
"Your eyes are like the eyes of a dead fish!"
"Do I look rich in DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid)? I feel smart..."
Hachiman smiled and didn't take Hiratsuka's mockery at all, because he had experienced so much of similar things that he didn't feel anything anymore.
Shido stood aside and nodded repeatedly, not because he thought Hachiman was right, but because he enjoyed the nostalgic feeling of watching SNAFU once again.
Especially when Hachiman and Hiratsuka, who were considered to be Shido's favorite characters, were having such wonderful interactions with each other, and it made him smile happily.
"And you!"
Hiratsuka suddenly let go of Hachiman, staring at Shido and asked:
"What the heck did you write about?"
"What's wrong with what I wrote?"
Shido looked at Shizuka Hiratsuka incomprehensibly.
"No problem? Itsuka, please read it aloud!"
Hiratsuka handed the composition to Shido with a smirk on her face.
Shido nodded lightly, then accepted the composition, and read it aloud:
"I am an ordinary high school student, Shido Itsuka. Of course, this is just my appearance on the outside. My actual identity is the Spirit Savior hidden in the world!
I was born in a faraway world, conceived by the mother of the Spirits and was given the arduous mission of saving the Spirits ever since I was born.
In order to complete my mission, I wandered between life and death time and time again: Bullets, swords, wind, flames, ice, and even the end of the universe, but in order to see the Spirits' smiles, I think all of this is worth it.
But one day, the dark power in my body went on a rampage, and the Spirits made a plan to kiss..."
Halfway through the reading, Shido suddenly stopped. He really couldn't read it anymore!
At this time, Shido only remembered that during the holidays, he didn't want to do his homework, so he entrusted his homework to Kurumi's clones, hoping they would finish it without any problem.
But it was a pity that Shido had forgotten that there was homework such as composition. There was no standard answer to this kind of homework, and it was all based on the improvisation of those clones of Kurumi.
Obviously, those clones were the representation of Kurumi's dark past, her Chuunibyou state! Everything they wrote was full of the taste of chuunibyou!
More importantly, what they wrote was true. The high school life of Shido Itsuka was indeed like this!
"What? Can't read it anymore?"
Hiratsuka asked with a frown. She heard that Shido was a very ordinary person, but she didn't expect it to be such an exaggerated chuunibyou patient!
Shido smiled bitterly and asked curiously:
"If I said this was not written by me...?"
"Let others help with your homework? I have to mark you down."
Hiratsuka responded calmly.
"Sorry, this is what I wrote, probably because of some mysterious power affecting me!"
Shido reluctantly admitted.
"Puff!"
Hachiman suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud. Someone would write their own chuunibyou history on the school's composition homework? That was really something else!
He did not realize that what he wrote for himself was actually about the same disgrace...
"Are you laughing at me?"
Shido looked at Hachiman blankly.
In fact, to make Hachiman laugh, he was really good.
But in order to play a good role as an ordinary high school student, he still responded as it should.
"No."
The teacher immediately shook his head and denied.
"You are still laughing!"
Shido pointed at the other party and shouted, and wanted to see how Hachiman would react in such a situation.
Hachiman nodded, and then admitted:
"Okay! I laughed, but I am not laughing at you, just thinking of happy things..."
"What happy things?"
Shido asked.
"My sister is cute!"
Hachiman chuckled lightly, and brought up his cute little sister, Komachi Hikigaya.
It caused 0 damage to Shido.
"Really? My two younger sisters are also very cute!"
Shido sneered, he wouldn't lose in a sister battle!
Shido had two sisters, Kotori and Mana, and they outnumbered Komachi...
There were two younger sisters of Shido: A real sister and a step-sister. In short, both of them were very cute!
Although the relationship was a bit complicated, Shido has always regarded Mana as his biological sister!
Speaking of which, Shido hadn't seen Mana ever since being in this world. After all, she was not a Spirit, and Shido had no way to bring her into this world for the time being, and could only send some simple messages through the Spirits.
Thinking about it this way, Shido felt a little sad not being able to see her face-to-face…
Facing Shido's counterattack, Hachiman smiled indifferently, and then retorted:
"Sorry, it's not that I want a sister contest, but my sister is the cutest in the world!"
The so-called younger sister was always about quality and not quantity. In his opinion, even if Shido had two little sisters, they were not as good as his Komachi!
"The world? This low-level dimension can't describe how cute my two sisters are. They are the most perfect sisters among all the parallel spaces of the universe!"
Shido also replied defiantly. Was there any little sister better than them?
As for Hachiman's sister, Komachi, Shido also knew about her quite well. Although she was indeed very cute, she was still no match for his two younger sisters!
"Hahahahahaha..."
Shizuka laughed suddenly, listening to the interaction between the two people, it was too hilarious. The two people who never talked much suddenly got into a quarrel because of their sister's topic, which was too funny!
"What's wrong? Hiratsuka-sensei, do you also have a cute sister?"
Shido turned around and asked curiously, but in his memory, Hiratsuka did not have a little sister in the show SNAFU.
"No, I just thought of a former student, and she always told me that her sister was very cute..."
Shizuka laughed and explained casually.
"Really? But it's definitely not as good as my sister!"
Shido said proudly.
"It's not as good as my Komachi!"
Hachiman did not admit defeat either.
"But I think she's really cute, maybe cuter than your sister!"
Shizuka thought for a while, and then made such an evaluation.
"How is this possible?"
Shido and the teacher sneered at the same time, and then both saw the so-called soul of sister-con in each other's eyes!
"Speaking of which, that little sister is also at school now, why don't you go take a look and see if she is cute?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka suddenly made a proposal.
"Huh! Let's go..."
Halfway through, Shido suddenly calmed down.
According to the development of the original show, the next story should be to go to the Service Club, and then to be forced into joining it by Shizuka Hiratsuka!
In this case, Shido finally figured it out, and the former students mentioned by Shizuka Hiratsuka, in all likelihood, would be Haruno Yukinoshita.
The younger sister of Haruno Yukinoshita was one of the heroines of the anime, and also the President of the Service Club. The beginning of the story of "My Teen Romantic Comedy Gone Wrong As I Expected".
Shizuka Hiratsuka said so much just now, and it turned out that she just wanted to take them to the Service Club. How dared she actually used the sacred topic of little sisters to achieve her own goals!? No wonder why she never got married.
"You two, are you thinking about something bad?!"
Hiratsuka glared at the two of them, and the feeling during the class just now came again. From these two students, there must be someone mocking in their hearts that she was already at this age and still hadn't married.
Shido's reaction was extremely fast, and he only asked with a dull expression on his face:
"W...what's bad?"
Hiratsuka did not answer, but looked at Hachiman next. Since it was not Shido, it could only be Hachiman. She just gritted her teeth and asked:
"Was it you, kid?"
Hachiman hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter at this time. He still thought that Shizuka Hiratsuka had just questioned that his sister was not cute enough. He was very upset, so he sneered and responded:
"Indeed, as far as the teacher's age is concerned, I am indeed a kid!"
"Sure enough, it's you!"
Hiratsuka had her sight locked on the target. Suddenly, she raised her right fist, and she slammed in the direction of Hachiman's head!
Fortunately, she did not really hit him: Her fist landed just 1 inch away from the side of Hachiman's head, but the wind had already messed up Hachiman's hair and shocked him tremendously.
If this punch landed on his head, he might die!
"Stop talking about the teacher's age, okay?"
Hiratsuka smiled kindly, but her eyes were not kind at all.
Hachiman swallowed and nodded obediently.
"Okay, come with me!"
Hiratsuka declared happily, and then walked out of the faculty room.
"Hold on..."
Shido, who had not spoken a moment ago, stopped Shizuka Hiratsuka. At this time, he was already certain that Shizuka Hiratsuka wanted to take the two of them to the Service Club.
"What's wrong?"
Hiratsuka looked at Shido. She was using the method "The Carrot and the Stick". The violent performance just shown was the Stick, and telling them to see Yukino was the Carrot.
Under such circumstances, normal people wouldn't resist, just like how Hachiman obediently followed her demands.
However, Hiratsuka did not expect that Shido had seen through her intentions, and he did not want to join the Service Club anyway!
"Sensei, I have an appointment with someone, can I go now?"
Shido explained in a low voice, in accordance with his behavior of looking at the watch just now, Hiratsuka couldn't doubt the truth of his words!
But Hiratsuka was still suspicious, and she looked at Shido curiously and asked:
"Itsuka, I thought you didn't have any friends!"
"That hurts, sensei. Unlike Hachiman, I have a lot of friends!"
Shido retorted plausibly.
"Really? Who?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka asked.
"For example, Amano, Ayi, Kosaka, and...Hachiman!"
Shido slowly counted.
"..."
Hiratsuka couldn't refute. The names that Shido mentioned just now were all his classmates, but she couldn't confirm whether Shido was friends with them or not.
"Why don't I remember becoming friends with you?"
Hachiman spat out silently, but the other two ignored him...
PS: Thank you for your support!
