128 Chapter 128: Garbage Function, Christmas Invitation
The next day.
Winter vacation officially begins.
Yesterday, after returning Karuizawa to the dormitory building, the two exchanged contact information for the reason of returning the uniform.
Hikigaya returned to his dormitory and went straight to sleep.
In the morning.
Hikigaya was lying in bed, flipping through his phone wrapped in a blanket.
He didn't want to get up at all.
Indeed, winter vacation is the strongest time of the year, second only to summer vacation.
Just then.
A notification flashed on the phone, it was a message from Ichinose.
Hikigaya frowned, he was already used to using LN.
It's clear.
This garbage APP has a garbage function that shows read receipts, which should be the source of the legendary "read but not reply".
After hesitating for a moment.
Hikigaya prepared himself mentally and chose to open it.
After all.
Ichinose is the leader of the class, there might be something important, and if he pretends not to see it, Ichinose might come to him.
[Ichinose: Hikigaya-kun, do you have time these two days?]
Such a contact came up on the phone
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, the day after tomorrow is Christmas.
This kind of question.
It's usually used to arrange some work, or to make an appointment to go out.
It doesn't allow for much thought.
[Hikigaya: These two days... I'm a bit...]
Hikigaya hinted darkly that he had something to do.
Although in fact, there's nothing.
But it's Christmas.
It's the day when the normies are noisy and shining.
It's clearly a day to commemorate the birth of Jesus, even in the birthplace of Christmas it's a day for families to gather and eat turkey.
Such a good holiday has been misinterpreted by these ignorant normies.
All day long they're noisy about watching movies, having meals, and emitting an atmosphere of 'I'm so happy right now'.
Doing this.
It just shows that the normies are a bunch of ignorant fools.
Hikigaya doesn't want to go out at this time.
It only took a few seconds to read, and then he got a reply from Ichinose.
[Ichinose: I see, so Hikigaya also has a date for Christmas, right?]
[Hikigaya: Hmm... I suppose so.]
Hikigaya looked away somewhat awkwardly.
He will definitely observe the customs of the birthplace of Christmas, at least he will go to KFC to buy a bucket of fried chicken.
That's right.
He's already made an appointment to meet with Grandpa KFC.
So he doesn't have time.
[Ichinose: I'm sorry, I had made an appointment to go to karaoke with Hikigaya-kun, so let's go together after Christmas...]
"..."
Hmm?
Hikigaya was stunned for a moment.
When did we agree on that, I don't remember?
Speaking of which.
Why didn't Ichinose say that before, Hikigaya quickly realized that he had been preparing for the paired exam.
It's reasonable to focus on the exam.
But.
Would he really make an appointment with someone to go to karaoke?
Hikigaya was somewhat doubtful, but if Ichinose said so, it must be mostly true.
There might be some situation that he couldn't refuse.
That made him have to agree and then delay it, then the matter would be simple.
[Hikigaya: We'll talk about it then.]
Just keep dragging it on!
End the contact with Ichinose.
Soon, another message came from Kobashi Yume.
[Kobashi Yume: Hikki, do you have any plans for Christmas?]
"Whoa..."
Hikigaya leaned back, distancing himself from the phone, showing a face like an old man on a train.
He had noticed it before.
Kobashi Yume might be even more powerful than Ichinose.
Directly asking if there are any reservations.
This is not a good question to answer.
Have——have any reservations——lies are exposed.
Hikigaya could already anticipate this result.
No matter what.
Kobashi Yume probably wouldn't deliberately throw this kind of mind game, right?
[Hikigaya: Maybe...]
Just indicate that I'm not sure!
...
On the other side,
Girls' dormitory.
Kobashi Yume and Himeno Yuki lay on the bed, their legs unconsciously lifting and lowering.
Both of them were staring at the screen of the phone in front of them.
"Hmm... What does 'maybe' mean?"
Himeno Yuki asked with a feigned confusion, cursing in her heart that this guy could have something, still pretending.
Does he not want to go out and play with them?
Damn it.
He is clearly Hikigaya, but he dares to be so arrogant.
"Hmm..."
Kobashi Yume held a victory gesture at the corner of her mouth with her white jade finger, thinking:
"Indeed, Hikki is very popular, and someone might look for him at any time. Hikki might not be able to make a promise in advance."
"Is that so?"
Himeno Yuki asked with a somewhat doubtful tone.
Obviously not right, where does that guy look like he's popular?
"Yuki-chan, don't be careless."
Kobashi Yume said seriously: "Like Sakura and Kushida, they might invite Hikki."
"..."
Can't deny it.
But Himeno Yuki firmly believes that even if those guys want to invite, Hikigaya will definitely refuse.
"What should we do?"
Himeno Yuki looked a little resentful.
It feels better to leave it to Kobashi Yume, or she can go directly to Hikigaya's dormitory to catch people.
"Hmm..."
Kobashi Yume stared at the phone and thought for a moment:
"Not easily making promises shows that Hikki is a person who keeps his promises. Let's first leave an impression on Hikki."
"After all, we are still good friends and have an advantage. If Sakura and others also send invitations, Hikki should choose our side!"
If you want to do it, just do it.
Kobashi Yume quickly sent an invitation.
[Kobashi Yume: We decided to go out and play together during Christmas when Hikigaya is in the group, Hikki remember to free up time~]
[Hikigaya: It depends...]
What a stubborn guy.
Himeno Yuki was a little worried: "Is it really okay?"
She still feels that it is more reliable to go directly to Hikigaya's dormitory to catch people.
"Don't worry."
Kobashi Yume smiled sideways: "This shows that as long as there is nothing important, Hikki has already agreed, right?"
"Really?"
Himeno Yuki was a little helpless: "Does this feel a bit troublesome, would it be more convenient to go directly to him?"
"Hmm?"
Kobashi Yume leaned in front of Himeno Yuki, her beautiful eyes shining.
"Yuki-chan, you are really anxious, do you want to be with Hikki so much?"
"No..."
Himeno Yuki's face turned red.
"Yuki-chan, so cute~"
Kobashi Yume hugged her in her arms: "Okay, okay, we will go to him together then."
"Hmm."
Himeno Yuki nodded.
In fact.
Although she knew that the probability of going to Hikigaya's dormitory to catch people was the highest.
But if she was the only one, Himeno Yuki was also a little embarrassed.
...
On the other side.
Seeing that no one was contacting him anymore, Hikigaya finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Really.
Even on vacation, they won't let him be at peace.
It's not that he dislikes being with Kobashi Yume and others, but he wants to be more free during the holidays.
It's better to go out and improve the food first.
Hikigaya changed his clothes and put on his windbreaker, planning to go out and find another hidden ramen shop.
Although following the middle-aged wage slave is indeed a good choice.
But Tenkaippin can already endure it.
The remaining Toranoana, let's leave it for slow exploration, leaving some fun of exploring the shop.
"Ding."
At this moment, the phone rang again.
It turned out to be a message from Karuizawa.
[Karuizawa: That... I seem to have a bit of a cold, can you help me buy some cold medicine.]
"..."
Hikigaya frowned slightly.
Since Karuizawa doesn't want people to know what happened yesterday, it's understandable to want to hide the fact that she has a cold.
But.
He told her clearly yesterday.
If you wait until the evening in that state, you will most likely catch a cold.
This girl
She really deserves it.
Speaking of which, why should he help D class, or a person who is not very familiar, to buy cold medicine.
Seriously.
Is there any BUG in this world, why don't the management staff hurry up and fix it, no one will play such a garbage game.
Forget it.
I'm going out to improve my food anyway, and it's no problem to buy some cold medicine by the way, but it can only be by the way.
[Hikigaya: Transfer the money to me, and there is also a five hundred running fee.]
Five hundred.
It's not that he is blackmailing.
It's the market price of Keyaki Mall Shopping Center staff.
On the other side.
... ..... ....
Karuizawa's white chin rested on the pillow in her arms, sitting on the soft mattress and leaning against the wall.
The smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.
I knew it.
As long as she hears that she has a cold, this guy will definitely come.
But he actually asked her for money.
It's too much.
But.
Yesterday was the first time we met, and it's not a problem to ask for money.
Anyway, it feels like it doesn't matter whether this money is given or not.
[Karuizawa: Eh? But I don't have many personal points now, just treat it as if I borrowed it from you first.]
Karuizawa swayed her delicate body with joy.
She naturally won't default, and it's not difficult to borrow a few thousand personal points with her circle of friends.
If it doesn't work.
There are also two big rotten good people, Kushida Kikyo and Hirata Yosuke, in the class.
But.
Karuizawa pouted her pink lips,
Just don't want to see Hikigaya and her money.
He will come even if he doesn't want money, but he has to hang money on his mouth, which is really awkward.
Can the relationship between the two be explained only by personal points?
[Hikigaya: Remember to pay me back next month, and give five dollars interest.]
Look.
He will definitely come.
Karuizawa laughed even more happily, and fell on the bed with a plop.
Although it doesn't look very reliable, it really makes people feel at ease.
It seems.
As long as Hikigaya is there, he will help her solve any problem.
[Karuizawa: I know, I know, it's not working, my head is so dizzy.]
Karuizawa quickly sent a message.
But for her, a parasite that cannot survive without relying on others.
Perhaps it's a reasonable price.
Karuizawa clutched her chest, her heart should still be able to sell for five yuan, right?
Thinking about this.
Karuizawa clutched her stomach.
For some reason, perhaps because Hikigaya had also been bullied before, she felt that if it were him, he probably wouldn't mind.
Less than five minutes later, Hikigaya's contact came again.
[Hikigaya: That... are you stupid, I don't even know where your dormitory is.]
It seemed a bit complaining, but since he only found out now, he must be worried about her physical condition.
Karuizawa sat up in shock from her illness, quickly lay down on the bed and covered herself with a quilt, then told Hikigaya her room number.
Yesterday's incident was just a commonplace, she wouldn't catch a cold because of this little thing.
