Hikigaya Hachiman returns

The conversation with Megumi Kato ended, and it was quite comfortable to talk to Megumi.

In addition to being cute, she has a pleasant voice. It seems to calm people down for no apparent reason, even though her expression has not changed much.

When talking to her, he didn't even feel any pressure.

He naturally finds it difficult to feel under pressure while interacting with girls. If the girl on the other side is exceptionally attractive and the person does not think highly of himself, it will manifest itself in his heart without any explanation.

When you are under pressure, you will naturally want to say the right thing, and sometimes you will worry about whether or not what you say will upset the other person.

However, he had the opposite feeling with Megumi Kato. It was really easygoing and carefree.

This will not typically happen at all unless it is a girl he knows well or has been accustomed to for a long time.

But it is clear that he has only recently met Kato Megumi—this is even his second conversation with her. Even his most recent conversation with Megumi Kato was limited to small talk.

"Kenichi." At this point, Aki also emerged. He did not even go back to his seat after entering the classroom; instead, he ran straight to Kenichi upon seeing him.

"Kenichi, how are you? How was your talk with Machida-san?"

"Although I wanted to go with you at the beginning, I am sorry, because there is a phone I particularly want to buy," inquired Aki, clearly worried. "I have to work part-time to make ends meet because it is a limited edition."

"It doesn't matter. I have already negotiated with Machida-san and signed the contract." Kenichi said it with a smile.

"Really? That's great. Machida-san is a very capable and responsible editor. If she likes it, then everything will be fine. Congratulations, Kenichi, on your novel. It will probably be published soon."

He looked happy, and his behavior would make people doubt that he was the author of the novel.

In fact, this is also his character. He doesn't care about other things. Unless it was anime, manga, games, or light novels.

He just thinks that the novel written by Kenichi is great and should be seen by more people; he could be considered a selfless person.

"Kenichi, don't worry. When your novel goes on sale, you must tell me as soon as possible. I will buy it and promote your book on my account. Undoubtedly, a larger audience will view it."

"Then thank you, Aki."

He thanked him with a smile.

Although he knew some of Aki's situation, he was not very clear about how much influence Aki actually had in this regard.

After all, he had never experienced it personally, so he only had it in his diary; therefore, he did not think it would make much of a difference.

However, Aki always means well, so he could only express his gratitude.

"It's great to be able to write such a novel. Actually, I have also thought about doing something. Writing novels, drawing comics, making games, or something along those lines. For writing, there is no inspiration for the novel, and the drawing skills are not good enough for the game. So Kenichi, you can write a novel, and it is such a good novel; it is really amazing." 

He gave Kenichi a thumbs up.

"I just read a lot of novels before, then I had the urge to write, and I wrote a novel." 

His answer was not perfunctory; he was indeed like this, even though part of the reason for writing a novel at one time was for money, but it was also because he wanted to write it.

In his previous life, he read martial arts novels and web novels. After that, he really wanted to write something and tried it. 

But unfortunately, reading novels is quite easy. He thought writing novels shouldn't be too difficult. 

But when he actually started writing, he realized that writing a novel is not that simple at all.

He had no talent and did not have much patience or free time. So after going to work, he no longer thought about writing any novels. Even later, when he got older, he rarely even read online novels.

He might be said to have returned to his original principles at this point.

"That is fantastic. You have my unwavering support." With much interest, Aki added.

"Thanks."

Just when Aki wanted to discuss other novels with him, the class representative suddenly came: "Hasegawa-san, your homework."

"Here." He handed his homework to the class representative.

The class representative put away his homework and then looked at Aki and said, "Tomoya-san, where is your homework?"

"Huh? Homework? I forgot, there was homework on the weekend? I was busy working on the weekend, and I completely forgot about the homework!" 

He held his head in despair.

"Tomoya-san did not do his homework? I understand. I will tell Hiratsuka-sensei about this." 

The class monitor spoke very calmly, looking at Aki with a little contempt in her eyes. 

"No, please don't do this. If Hiratsuka-sensei finds out, I will definitely die. Hiratsuka-sensei confiscated my comic book last time. If she knows that I forgot to do my homework again, Hiratsuka-sensei will never give it back." 

Aki panicked.

"Sorry, this is the only thing I can do." The class representative said it without mercy.

"Please, please, just wait a moment and give me some time to finish copying my homework."

"Sorry, as a class representative, I can't turn a blind eye to such actions." 

She shook her head.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was still dressed smartly like a man. In addition, she was wearing a white coat, covering her whole body.

"There is a new student in the class today. Well, he is not a new student; in fact, he has been a student in our class since the beginning of the school year. He did, however, act bravely at the start of the school year and was struck by a car. He's been in the hospital for three weeks, and now he is back. Come and introduce yourself." 

Shizuka stood on the podium as she spoke.

"Hello everyone, my name is Hikigaya Hachiman. Um-"

"Huh? Those eyes are so strange."

"What a disgusting look."

"I feel like I might have nightmares at night."

"It should be illegal to have eyes like that."

"I feel violated."

In fact, if Shizuka were not still in the classroom, the students below might have been even more outrageous. 

However, although the classes had only started for less than a month, Shizuka's majesty had almost been established in the class.

The other students discussed one after another; their voices reached Hachiman's ears, but his expression did not change at all.
