Kapitel 486: [486] I'm Super Strong
Chapter 486: I'm Super Strong
Stare—
Noticing the two gazes from either side, Hachiman forced a smile.
Why are you both looking at me like that? Are you expecting me to confess here?
I could, but are you both ready?
Wait, maybe... probably... they really are ready.
Hmm...
As for Yui, no doubt if he confessed, the success rate would be 100%. This silly girl was already completely head over heels.
And Yukino... after spending so much time together, the probability of a successful confession was about 80%.
But confessing with only an 80% chance of success? That's just asking to be rejected.
Better wait until it's a solid 98%.
Yeah, play it safe. No harm in that.
However, he still needed to make his stance clear for now.
Hachiman smirked and spoke up, "I have no problem with it. But are you two ready to change your last name to Hikigaya?"
The two girls were initially stunned, then quickly caught on to his meaning.
Embarrassed, Yui immediately retorted, "Stupid Hikki, who... who wants to change their last name to Hikigaya?"
Though Yukino didn't say anything, she blushed and glared at him.
Hachiman merely smiled lightly at their reactions and continued walking forward.
Seeing this, the two girls exchanged glances and followed him.
As if forgetting the previous topic, the three walked together again.
A gentle breeze rustled the bamboo leaves, and the shaded path returned to its original tranquility.
...
Near the train station, numerous students from Sobu High gathered.
Today was the fourth day, marking the end of the four-day, three-night school trip.
No confessions, no rejections, and no dramatic incidents.
Everything went smoothly.
Having bought the souvenirs Komachi wanted, Hachiman now sat idly on a bench.
Soon, he felt someone approaching.
Looking up, he saw a girl with shoulder-length black hair and red half-rim glasses. Her clear eyes behind the lenses, and her delicate features, would make her a pleasing sight by a library window.
It was hard to believe that such a beautiful girl had a corrupted side.
Yes, the person before him was none other than Ebina.
"Hello, hello," Ebina waved at Hachiman.
"Oh, Ebina," Hachiman nodded in acknowledgment.
Standing in front of him, Ebina gave a slight bow, a pleasant smile on her face.
"Thank you so much this time. Although I don't know what you did, it's great that nothing happened."
"Well, since I took on your request, I had to see it through," Hachiman shrugged.
Seeing this, Ebina laughed.
"Haha, as expected of Hachiman, you're really dependable."
"You're too kind. It was just good luck. If Tobe had been more stubborn, there wouldn't have been much I could do," Hachiman laughed as well.
"Tobe might be useless, but he's a good person."
"Haha, maybe. Anyway, on the surface, the issue is resolved. Maintaining the status quo is the best for me," Ebina nodded nonchalantly.
But then her tone turned serious.
"By the way, I wanted to ask what you think about Yui and Yumiko."
Although Ebina wasn't considering her own romantic life, she was very concerned about her two close friends.
Especially Yui, who had practically put all her hopes on Hachiman with what she said yesterday.
And Yumiko, from Ebina's perspective, probably wouldn't escape this either. Even if they eventually parted ways, it would leave a lasting scar on her heart.
So, she wanted to confirm Hachiman's intentions today.
Hearing Ebina's question, Hachiman raised an eyebrow but became serious.
"Don't worry. I won't let either of them down. I promised Yui that I would make her happy for the rest of her life, and I will do whatever it takes to keep that promise."
Perhaps feeling his determination, Ebina's unease dissipated.
Seeing Hachiman's serious demeanor, Ebina suddenly laughed.
"If you're that confident, Hachiman, maybe I should join in too. I think we might get along surprisingly well."
Huh? Didn't she say something like this yesterday? Could she be serious?
Her words made Hachiman pause, but after a moment, he shrugged nonchalantly, half-jokingly.
"You shouldn't say things like that lightly. If I take it seriously and you can't back out, don't blame me."
Though she knew it was a joke, for some reason, Ebina felt a bit flustered and quickly changed the subject.
"Haha, just kidding. I'm too corrupted for romance."
"Same here. I don't consider myself a good person either. But with my charm, it's hard not to attract girls," Hachiman replied, feigning helplessness.
Seeing his smug expression, Ebina felt a mix of exasperation and amusement.
"To be able to say that with a straight face, Hachiman, you're really something."
"Of course, I'm super strong," Hachiman said without missing a beat.
Ebina was left speechless. What can you say to someone who's shameless?
"Alright, I need to head back. Thanks again for everything." With that, she left.
Not long after Ebina departed, Yui came over. "Hikki, it's time to go. Let's head out."
"Yeah, let's go." Hachiman stood up and followed her.
As the train arrived, the students of Sobu High began their journey home.
.....
Service Club.
The atmosphere was peaceful with only the usual three members: Hachiman, Yukino, and Yui. Just like in the original story, they hadn't recruited any new members. Without the dramatic events of the original, the three got along well. Yukino and Yui were chatting, and Hachiman would occasionally join in, creating a harmonious environment.
However, this harmony was soon interrupted by a knock at the door.
"Come in," Yukino called out.
The door opened to reveal a somewhat familiar figure. A girl with twin braids and bangs held back by a hair clip, revealing a smooth and cute forehead, stepped in. She greeted them energetically.
"Hello, hello! How are you all?"
Yukino was a bit surprised to see her. "President Shiromeguri-senpai, what brings you here?"
Indeed, it was the current student council president, Meguri Shiromeguri.
"We have something we'd like to discuss with you," Meguri said, waving someone in from the door. "Come in, Isshiki-san."
Isshiki?
Hachiman looked up in surprise.
Another girl walked in. She had shoulder-length, light brown hair, lively brown eyes, and a playful, cute smile.
Yui was pleasantly surprised. "Ah, it's Iroha-chan!"
Indeed, the girl who followed Meguri in was Iroha Isshiki, whom Hachiman had met before at the summer camp.
"Hello, Yui-senpai," Iroha greeted.
Yui waved back with a smile. "Hello, it's been a while!"
"Yes, it has."
Iroha then noticed Hachiman sitting on the other side and looked pleasantly surprised. "Ah, it's Hikigaya-senpai."
"It's been a while, Isshiki-san," Hachiman nodded in acknowledgment.
At first, Yukino and Yui didn't think much of it when they saw Iroha recognize Hachiman. After all, Hachiman had gained a lot of recognition in the school after the cultural and sports festivals. However, when they noticed that Hachiman also seemed to know Iroha, they were genuinely surprised.
After all, they were aware of most of the people Hachiman knew, and they had never heard of Iroha Isshiki before.
This made Yui hesitate as she asked, "Hikki, do you know Iroha-chan?"
"Ah, we met once during the festival at Totsuki Academy. She was helping out at her cousin's stall," Hachiman explained.
"Ah, I see," Yui and Yukino both nodded in understanding.
Meguri also smiled, "It seems you all know each other, so I don't need to introduce you."
After they took their seats, Yukino got straight to the point.
"Shiromeguri-senpai, what brings you here today?"
Hearing this, Meguri nodded and organized her thoughts before speaking.
"You probably know that the student council elections are coming up soon, right?"
"Elections?" Yui looked puzzled.
Hachiman explained, "Yes, since the third-year students are about to graduate, there will be some vacancies in the student council that need to be filled."
"Oh, I see," Yui said, understanding after the explanation.
Yukino thought for a moment and then spoke, "I recall that the list of candidates should have already been posted."
"Exactly, exactly, as expected from Yukinoshita-san," Meguri clapped her hands in approval. Then her expression turned a bit gloomy.
"Most of the candidate lists are fine, but Isshiki-san's situation is a bit tricky."
"What position is Iroha-chan running for?" Yui asked curiously.
Hearing this, Iroha's face showed a hint of shyness as she answered somewhat hesitantly.
"I'm running for student council president."
"Student council president?!"
