"22/100 – like."

"Yui Yuigahama grew up in a ***** household. Her father died in an accident when she was in middle school. She grew up to be socially and emotionally dependent on others to get rid of the loneliness she feels as a result of her father's passing even though her mother tried everything she could to fill in the hole. She has developed her ***** to the point of *****. Now as a student at Sobu High *****. She loves ***** and her hobbies include *****, *****, *****, *****. She dislikes *****, *****, *****."

…Well, at least I know why her bar is increasing at a rapid pace. Her trying to apologize to me, her being sensitive to others…

All of it is a result of her not wanting to feel lonely.

…This might be easier than I thought…

I lay my head on top of my textbook while looking right at the wall since I'm feeling drained after everything.

Luckily, me and Yuigahama reached class before the next teacher arrived, though it was close for me since I entered a bit later after her to not get any stupid rumors floating around if we were to enter at the same time.

…Haaaah, the idiocy of teenager's mindset still leaves me dumbfounded. Just because you saw a popular girl talking to a loner, you'll just assume that they're dating as the mildest route. Of course, some of you would just go I'm threatening her or something similar.

…I really need a vacation. Maybe I'll bring Komachi to a beach hotel or a hot spring place… Wait, I have to double check on my money, and take into account the food and transportation costs, oh wait I can also use it as a way to increase the Heroines bar if I invite them…

Erm, let's just increase their bar first before inviting or else I'll just get rejected and be viewed as an idiot… So, just me and Komachi, 2 people, maybe we can stay for a few days… No 2 days and 1 night, if we take into account the previous costs and the money I have.

…Or should I –

"Hikigaya!"

I flinch, then look up to see my English teacher glaring at me. I quickly get up then discreetly look around to see everybody looking at us.

"Hikigaya, I know that you are good in English since you are in third place, but please, pay attention during class. I had already called you four times."

Ouch. Was I that occupied to the point she had to call me that many times?

"As I was saying, please read out loud passage ten in your textbook."

…Lady, why are you picking me? You didn't care about me before! Just pick somebody else for your damn social bonding class, whatever gig! Just not me!

I can't go against her, so I don't say my thoughts and just quietly get up while holding my book…

I just wish time can go faster…

"Skipping filler at user request."

The fuc –

The blue box quickly disappears then I see my surroundings going faster while I can feel my mouth moving on its own. My teacher looks as if she's on a speed drug with her gestures while some of my classmates bang their head so fast I won't be surprised if their head falls off.

Then I sit down and see her quickly walking to the front. She flaps her arms around the chalkboard, writes something then quickly erases it, gathers her things, then leaves.

"Filler skipped."

I almost fall to the ground as I feel my body back in my control again then I look around and see everything is back to normal. Everybody is moving at a normal pace now instead of their drug-like speed.

…Ok. Ok. I should have expected the system to be able to move time forward. So, recap, it can freeze time, teleport me, control me and inject me with some drug, remove a person, and now forward time.

…Holy shit… If a system that the developers developed is this overpowered…

Just how overpowered are they…?

"Hikki? Are you like ok?"

I flinch then glance at Yuigahama standing in front of me, prompting me to shake my head and try to smile at her but I stop since she doesn't like my smile, "Just… My migraine… Relapsing." I look at the clock hanging above the chalkboard and see that it's break time.

She flinches then frowns and quietly mumbles something but I can hear a few bits, though I really have to strain my ears to hear, "Hikki… Smile… I didn't… Mean… Before."

Me, smile, I didn't, mean, before… Oh, she means I can smile since she didn't mean the words she said before.

…I think.

Before I can respond to her, I see a shadow cast on me, prompting me to glance to my side and see Kawasaki glaring at me.

I blink then slowly raise a hand to her as a greeting, "Yo."

Her eyes widen a bit then she glares even harder, "…You didn't tell anybody, right?"

…Wow, you really don't trust me, huh. Granted, I can understand and relate to that since I don't trust myself, but come on, just let it go!

As if she knows what I'm thinking, her cheeks redden and she glares even harder, wow, you can glare even harder than that, "Just answer me."

I am sorely tempted to give her the middle finger since I am not in the mood to deal with her bullshit but, seeing as she is a Main Heroine, I decide to just honestly answer her, albeit in a tired voice, "No. Now please stop glaring at me."

Just please stop. You haven't stopped even once while I'm in here with you!

"Hah?! Who-who is glaring at you!" Kawasaki, your red cheeks and red ears aren't helping your case. Rather it's helping mine. But, since I am feeling nice, I will spare you the embarrassment of calling out your blus –

"Ehhh? Like Kawasaki-san, why are you blushing?"

…Well I didn't say it. Can't blame me.

Kawasaki flinches then turns her head to glare at Yuigahama, "The hell you saying?"

I can see Yuigahama slightly flinch at the glare but she quickly recovers and then blinks, "Like, did, Hikki do something to you?" She smiles but I can tell it's a fake one, rather it just oozes out danger.

"Ain't your business, now buzz off!"

"Hmm? Like why not ask me and I can help you?"

"Hell no!"

…Oh god. They're arguing. Right in front of me. Attracting even more attention. Look! I can see lots of people whispering to each other while looking at us! Oi, I see you! Don't you dare take any photo! No just why do you want to take a photo?!

I desperately look around, hoping to find a way to escape from this situation, then I blink as I see a familiar flaxen hair and face sticking her head out of the doorway.

I see her looking around the class then stops as she looks right at me. She beckons me over to her then taps on her forehead a few times, basically telling me that she would say about my assault.

In any other time, I would hate this but right now, I just feel grateful for being able to escape, along with my hatred. For the record, I am not running away because I can't deal with Yuigahama and Kawasaki but that I am not feeling well, ok?!

"Excuse me, Yuigahama-san, Kawasaki-san. Somebody is calling me." I quickly stand up then squeeze through the gap between Kawasaki and the desk behind me to get out. Without ever turning back, I walk out of the door and see Isshiki waiting for me at the end of the hallway.

"Ehhh~ are you sure you want to leave behind your girlfriends so fast~?"

…You just have to spill out shit as a greeting.

I let out a sigh then shake my head, "Acquaintances. And yes." I can't lie too blatantly since this vixen can just go ask them about me.

She raises an eyebrow then shrugs, "Ok." She beckons me to follow her then walks away without waiting for any response from me. I let out another sigh then trails behind her, albeit from a distance since there are other people here.

She stops in front of the same storage/classroom that me and Yuigahama were in, then turns around to look at me, "We'll talk more in here." She opens the door and walks in.

…This really reminds me of my job when I was working at that convenience store… Bastards that just laze around while ordering me to do all the cleaning…

…Bury that memory back. Still have to deal with Isshiki.

After walking inside, Isshiki closes the door then walks to the middle of the classroom. I follow her and stop in front of her with my face blank.

She scans my face then nods, "Alright! Now, time for operation: Getting Hayama Hayato To Fall In Love With Iroha Isshiki!"

…Cringe. Just. Cringe.

*ERTERTERT*

A/N

Haaaaaah... Looks like I have to break my promise with the whole donation thing. Please donate some money to me by going fraaqac (just get rid of the spaces) also, if you donate, then I will write anything you want and prioritize doing it first. Ahem, fucking get that out of the way, 8man running away is a staple by this point lol. Anyway on to the comments!

CrazyxEnigma - yep since *REDACTED*. Don't worry, you'll be getting more of her and yep

LanceSennin - 8man already did lol

Sebas602 - *bows* thank you. Also, Komachi *REDACTED*

FirstWinterLight - yep, a storm is coming lol

Dimiel - don't worry, this OC actually plays a super important role to the development of 8man in here and yep. Yep, Hachipats will get people addicted lol. Also, um, long story short - I used to be able to write more in a single day but... Life. I mean I can try again but that might... Result in some consequences

CMY187 - lol, I'm planning fallout 8man to be a super loner that managed to gain an unwated harem with multiple other waifu from other fandoms (no other spoilers). To fight a monster, one must become a monster. Also, don't worry, I deemed that amount of information to be enough to get my readers to be interested in her with lot more to come (I like to use show and tell route by saying few tell to act as a guide for the show)
