-Chiba Elementary School-

Hachiman 5th grade.

As soon as the class ended, I immediately packed my things and head straight back home.

I am currently at the playground when I heard footsteps behind me.

"Oi, Hikkifroggy-kun." A boy shouts.

I look behind and saw a group of boys while the one who shouts my insulting name is a tall boy with a fat body.

"Hahaha…" One of the boys points his index finger at me. "…he looks at us, so he is a frog after all."

"HAHAHAHAHA!" They laugh so hard which caused me to clench my fist and bite my lip.

I turn around and decide to ignore them but one of the boys block my path.

"Where are you going?" The boy asked me.

I ignore his words and try to move past him, but he suddenly grabs my arm.

"Oi, are you deaf?" He pulled me which caused me to fall on the ground.

The fat one moves closer to me with the other remaining three. "I heard you confessed to Saya-chan?"

His words caused me to look on my knees and just remain silent.

*Tug*

A fist connects to my cheek.

A pain intrudes in my face that made me want to cry but I can't let my emotions leak.

I already decided that I will not be moved by my emotions anymore.

"It seems your punch didn't hurt the frog?" One of the boys commented.

"Tch…" The fat guy retorts. "…I'll just give him more until he felt it."

He tried to lift me up, but I slap his hand. "Why are you doing this?"

"The frog is asking us." The one who block me before chuckles at my question while the other laugh except for the fat guy.

He looks at me. "It's because you confessed to Saya-chan…"

He immediately punched me again. "…did you got deluded by her goodwill?"

I got silent from his question.

"Looks like you're right." Another boy points out.

"Saya-chan is good with everyone, don't think that she is good with you because she had interest with you…" The fat guy gives me a glare.

He punched me again. "…she only did that because she only felt sympathy."

His words made me lose my reasoning.

"…i…dy…ow…it" I mumbled.

"What are you saying?" He grabs my collar and forced me to stand up.

"I said I ALREADY KNOW IT!" I immediately punch his face which forced him to unbalance and kneel on the ground.

I follow up a kick on his face that made him lie on the ground. "WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME THE OBVIOUS?" I kicked his hands that protecting his face.

"O-oi, let's help." The other kids immediately hold my two hands and pulled me out from the fat guy.

"What's wrong with him, why is he so strong?" The other boys that pulled me, protest.

"Just knock him out." One boy suggests.

One of the boys comes in front of me and grab my collar with two hands while two boys are currently holding each of my arms.

I grit my teeth and sway my head backward then give the guy a headbutt.

"ARRRRRGH" The boy in front of me roars in pain.

Even I felt dizzy from the impact.

"T-This guy is mad." One of the boys that holding my hands lighten his grabbed as he shivers.

I immediately release my arms and punch the other guy who is holding my other arms.

"Hiii." He got scared at my incoming punch.

"WHY ARE YOU ALL DICTATING ME?..." I roar and punched his abdomen as he tries to block his face. "…I AM THE ONE WHO CAN CONTROL MYSELF."

He falls on the ground then I focus on the scared one.

"I-It's just a joke." He gives me useless reasoning.

I ignored his words as I run towards him and push him to lie on the ground and punched his face several times. "I'm ASKING YOU ALL WHY ARE YOU DICTATING ME?..."

I continue to punch him. "…WHY IS NO ONE ANSWERING ME, I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO GET AN ANSWER?"

"S…st…o…p" I saw tears in the swelling face of the boy that I punch.

I just grit my teeth. "IF CRYING IS THE ONLY ANSWER THAT I GET…"

I look at the other boys and saw the fat boy trying to stand up. "…THEN I DON'T NEED IT!"

I leap towards him and kick him again to go back lying.

I grab his collar. "TELL ME!" I furiously look at him.

I shake his collar multiple times that made his head sway. "TELL ME!"

"I-I'm sorry." He starts crying as well.

"I NEED EXPLANATION!..." I try to shake his collar once more. "…JUST GIVE ME A PROPER EXPLANATION!"

"I'm so…rr…y." I grit my teeth and release my hold onto him then look at the other boys hoping to find an answer.

They are crying right now and just keep apologizing to me.

I forced myself to stand up even though I felt dizzy and I think a teardrop in my eyes.

I picked my bag and just head home while unsteadily walking.

…

*HOME*

*Hikigaya Natsuko (MOM) POV*

A footstep can be heard in the hallway.

"Why did you take so long Hachiman?" I shout for him to be heard.

The only answer I got back is silent.

That made me angry, so I stand up and go to the hallway.

"I didn't raise you with no…" I look at my son and immediately rush towards him. "…What happen?"

His face is swelling, and his forehead is bleeding. I look at his hands and it is bleeding as well.

I immediately drag him to my room, then pick some medicine and ice.

"Mom! Is Onii-chan at home? Why did he leave without Komachi?" My daughter shouts in her room.

She got out and look at me. "What's with those?" She points at the things that I'm carrying.

"Don't mind me and go to stay in your room." I glare at her which she immediately follows.

I head back to my room and start treating Hachiman after I finish treating his wounds.

"What happened?" I worriedly look at him which he immediately frowns and gives me a glare.

This…

I immediately pat his head. "Hachiman, I'm your mother so at least tell me what happened."

He finally removes his glare and just nods.

He told me what happened and how he fought back after he snapped.

"I see." I just nod and removed the ice pack on his face.

"Go sleep here and have a nice rest, I'll let your Father sleep in your room." He nods and starts lying.

I kiss his forehead and put a blanket on him. I turned off the lights and

"Mom…" He calls out before I close the door. "…it seems I'll cause you trouble on Monday."

I chuckle. "Don't worry, it's their fault in the first place and leaves those problems to us, just focus on having a rest."

He didn't answer back so I close the door.

…

I served Komachi a dinner and let her have a rest as I wait for him in the living room.

I heard a car engine entering our house.

I prepare to heat up the food while waiting for him to get inside.

"I'm home…" I prepare a plate and other utensils. "…where is he?"

"He is sleeping…" I picked up the food from the oven and put it on the table. "…just eat for now and we will talk about it later."

He nods.

…

After eating I washed his dishes while he changed his clothes.

We are currently sitting on the sofa and I tell him what Hachiman told me before.

He ponders for a while and sighs.

"Is it the same as my father?" I asked him while hoping he would deny.

He nods which earned a pain in my heart. "It seems Hachiman inherit that as well."

I want to deny his words. "I thought it already stopped at my Father?"

He shakes his head. "Father told me that you also had that before…"

I got surprised at the sudden revelation. "…it's just that he immediately gave you remedy."

"I-I didn't know about it."

"He said you showed your symptoms when you're around six."

"I-I see." No wonder I don't remember it. "…t-then Hachiman can be cured as well, right?"

He sighs. "I don't know, let's call father and asked him to come."

I immediately nod and called my father.

…

"He said he will come tomorrow," I said.

"Let's just hope that it won't be serious…" He hugs me. "…don't worry I'll check it out tomorrow morning."

I hope too.

My husband sleeps in Hachiman's room while I sleep together with my son.

I look at my son and hug him then fell asleep.

…

*HIKIGAYA HISATO POV*

As soon as I wake up. I immediately prepare myself and head to my room.

I look at my wife hugging our son while sleeping.

I silently remove her arms at Hachiman then nudge the latter to wake up.

"Erhmm...mmmm…" He slowly opens his eyes.

"Shhh." I put my index finger at my lips.

He nods then silently stands up from the bed.

We left the room and closed the door silently.

"Let's eat first."

I prepared some leftover food last night and served it as our breakfast.

"Ummm, Dad."

"Just eat, we will talk about it later on."

He nods then we focused on eating.

…

I bring Hachiman to our storage room which is quite big since it only consists of tools for cars and for repair.

"What are we doing here Dad?" He asked.

I sighed then walk near him. I give him a punch in his gut.

He immediately kneels on the floor. "It seems you can create a problem but can't handle the consequence." I look at him coldly.

He just looks down. "S-Sorry."

I frown. "Why don't you fight like you did yesterday?"

I kicked him and he just lies on the floor. "I heard that you even corner four kids, so how can't you fight back this time?"

He just answered me with his silence.

"What a pitiful son I have." The word suddenly sends shiver at his body. He finally looks at me.

No, it's glare.

He stands up and clenched his fists. He immediately attacks me which I just sigh.

I'm sorry Natsuko, there's nothing I can do. Let's put our faith with father.

I parried his fists and knocked him out.

I carried Hachiman back to the house.

…

…

"Ha…ha…ha…" I look at the glaring woman in front of me. "…why did you wake up so early? It's Saturday."

"Put Hachiman down." I immediately lie our son on the sofa.

I look at Natsuko.

"BLEGH." I touch my gut which she immediately punched, as expected from my lovely wife, not lovable at all.

"What did you do to Hachiman?"

"I-I just checked what's the reason of his rage." I kneel in front of her.

She looks at me seriously. "What is the cause then?"

"It's serious. We can't do anything about it." My words caused her to breakdown.

I immediately hug her. "Don't worry, Father can help him."

I pat her head which she just nods.

A footstep from upstairs can be heard.

"Good Morning, Mom, Dad…" Our youngest child greets us. "…Oooh, Lovey-dovey this morning."

"Yeah…" Natsuko immediately removes herself from me then head to Hachiman.

I look at Komachi and open my arms. "…now let me have a lovey-dovey with my Komachi."

She hugs me then I pat her head. She looks at Hachiman. "Why is Onii-chan sleeping on the sofa?"

"He's just tired," I told her then moved her to eat breakfast before she notices the bandages at his brother's face.

I brought Hachiman to his room and let him have an extended sleep there. I saw him sleeping soundly which I envied so I sleep beside him.

I think he won't mind as I woke up early just for him.

…

*HACHIMAN POV*

A sound wakes me up from my rest.

I heard a loud snore beside me. I look at the source then it was Dad, who knocked me out earlier.

"Seriously, not only intruding my rest earlier but also claiming the rights of my bed."

I sigh. "I'll just let him rest since it's Saturday." I slouch at my bed once more.

*Knock Knock*

"Hachiman, are you awake?"

"Yes."

She opens the door and looks at me then she frowns at the Snorlax beside me.

"Let him rest Mom, he is just tired." She nods.

"Do you want to eat? I'll bring you some." I nod then she left the room to get my meal.

…

She brought me a well-balanced meal. A fried chicken with vegetables at the sides and rice.

Mom is currently peeling some apples while I heard a protest outside my room.

It seems Komachi is banned to see me.

"Komachi, don't shout or I'll cut your allowance!" Komachi seems to fill up the annoying meter of Mom.

"S-Sorry!" She shouts.

I start eating as I look at my fried chicken, I saw that the crispy skin got removed.

I frown. Did I already eat it?

I heard a munching sound and look at the source.

The culprit that stole some of my food is none other than the Snorlax—I mean dad.

I sigh and just ignore him then start eating. I fillet the chicken so that I can easily eat everything, but my dad is still getting some of it. The moment he attempts to pick up the third one a fork stabs the meat he grabs.

"Try stealing one more time, let's see if what meat will be stab next time." I look at Mom glaring at Dad.

"Ha…ha…ha…" He forcefully chuckles. "…the food is different when someone filleting it for me."

"Go eat Hachiman." I nod.

I finally got my peaceful eating back. I offer Dad some apples since he is annoying on how he gazes at my meal.

*Knock Knock*

"Mom, Dad Grandpa is here," Komachi shouts.

They both look at me.

"Hachiman, just stay here and we will explain things to you later." Mom told me.

I just nod.

They both left the room.

…

…

*Hikigaya Natsuko POV*

"Komachi go stay at your room, we will talk about something important," I said to Komachi which she nods.

Both me and my husband head to the living room.

…

"Good Afternoon, Father." I hug him.

"It's been a while dear."

"Good afternoon, father." My husband also greets him.

"It seems you're doing fine." Father smiles at him.

We both take a seat.

Father looks at Hisato. "I assume that you already know Hachiman's trigger."

Hisato nods. "Yes, and it's a serious problem. The trigger is not related physically, but it connects with the sudden eruption of his emotions."

I look at them. "Is that serious?"

They both nod at my question.

"I thought I also had it, why am I fine and didn't experience it anymore?"

My father sighs. "It's because your trigger is when you felt physical pain. It's easy to solve as long as you won't get hurt, that's the reason why I taught you self-defense."

"T-Then, we can help Hachiman as well, right?" I look at them while forcing myself to cheer up.

Hisato wrapped her arm at me then focused his eyes to father. "Father, I think you are the only one who can help Hachiman."

"F-Father, please." I also beg.

He sighs. "Well, we can just let him control his emotions but that won't be a perfect way…"

Indeed, even if Hachiman can control it the first time, it will turn into a fuel that will be stocked and it will continue to add until it fills up his limit.

"…I'll teach him how to control himself when he snapped."

"I-Is that possible?" I look at father with disbelief.

I think I see hope for my son.

He smiles at me. "Well, I can control it so how can't my grandson do it if he has the blood of Kishimoto, right?"

I immediately bow. "I'll leave my son to you, Father."

Hisato also bows. "I also leave my son in your care, Father."

"Hahaha…" He motions us to stand up. "…it's for my grandson's sake so no need to give formalities."

"Well…" He scratched his head. "…I wonder if my Natsuko can help me talk to Mother."

I sigh. "Leave it to me, father." He heaved a sigh of relief.

"Well then, how about sharing me what you experience." Father looks at Hisato.

Hisato explains what happened before I met the two of them earlier.

…

"I see." Father nods while I glare at my husband who hurt my son.

"N-Natsuko, I just knocked him unconscious…" He raised his hand. "…I promised that I hurt him with one punch and one kick."

"I see." I move closer to him and kicked his stomach.

He lies on the sofa while holding his stomach.

"Well, I will leave both of you and head to Hachiman." Father stands up and heads to Hachiman's room.

…

*HACHIMAN POV*

*Knock Knock*

"Come in."

An old man walks inside.

"It's been a while Hachiman."

"Yeah," I nod.

He scans me and nods several times. "Not bad, you look like a delinquent."

"With my actions, I can't deny that."

"So how does it feel to vent up your anger?" He sits at my bed.

"I don't know…" I shake my head. "…I just want an answer, but they only cry in front of me while apologizing, so I stop asking them."

He pats my head. "Everyone can't easily take what they want you to know…"

I look at him and he is smiling. "…but I'm proud of you."

I avert my gaze at him. "What are you doing here grandpa?"

"Hahaha, what a shy type, did you get your mother's shyness? It's cute in its own way."

"I don't know so please answer my question."

"Well, I will stay here for a while to have a bonding with my daughter's children, since I'm too fed up with your cousins…"

He looks at me seriously. "…and I'll help you with what you felt before."

"I see, I'll be in your care."

"Of course, leave everything to grandpa so focus on healing."

I nod then he left my room.

…

…

…

"Not bad." He looks at our storage room.

We are currently inside while there are still marks of swelling at my face, I can only feel a little pain on it.

My parents go to my school to talk to the Principal and the boys' parents.

"I hope Dad can control Mom."

"Hahaha, don't worry even though your father looks like an easy-go-lucky he is more capable enough to handle the situation."

He points himself. "…I also taught him some moves or another and he is a genius."

"I see."

"Don't be jealous, you're also a genius as long as you try."

He starts stretching his body and forced me to join along.

"Well, do you have any idea what happened when you snap?" He asked me.

I nod. "Yes,"

"Oh? If you are conscious then why did you still give those kids a beating?"

"I just can't hold myself since I'm eager to know what their thinking."

He nods. "I see, well that's good as well since your mother doesn't have any idea when she snaps."

I give him a questioning look.

"Oh right, your mother also experienced that when she was a child…"

He casually reveals something surprising. "…well let's not focus on that and focus on you."

He looks at me and starts insulting me. "Siscon, Mothercon, Creepy, Idiot, ahh…"

He opens his phone and searches for something. "…pansy, bastard."

"Wait…" I raised my arm. "…are you searching for insulting words?"

"Hmmm, it seems not effective." He hides his phone.

"Well, it's nothing new to me."

"I see, but the word 'pity' is effective…" I frown at his words.

He smiles at me. "…what a pitiful child."

He tried different expressions and said the same statement, but I only just frown, that's all.

"That's weird, your father told me that's what made you angry last time."

"I think it's because you didn't mean those words at all and you just used it casually."

He ponders at my words then nods. "I guess you're right, that will be a problem then…"

He sighs. "…then I'll just show you what happened to you before."

He stands near me while smiling and his eyes are gazing at me, but something is different, it's scary.

I shiver while I look at him then he pats my head. "Like that, that's what you did from those kids."

A cold sweat drip from my forehead. "I don't think I did that."

"It's the same but they didn't notice it since their focus is on your violence."

He stops patting his head and starts showing his ego. "So, Hachiman! I'll help you control it."

I nod. "What should I do?"

"It's not that hard…" He casually waves his hands and chuckles. "…just train with me."

I smile. "I see…"

I turn around to go back to my bedroom. "…I think I'll let this disappear with time."

He grabs my shoulder. "That won't do, you need motivation."

"I think I have one, and it is to prevent that training you mention."

"Nonsense, we will do it slowly."

"Yes, and it's super, ultra, very slow."

He sighs. "Your mother is worried about you, at least do it for her, and Komachi will learn about it once you snapped off again."

His words caused me to stop and rethink the consequences.

After pondering for a while, I bit my lips and clenched my fist then look at grandfather.

"Grandfather…" I bow at him. "…please help me."

He nods. "Of course, I promise that we will slowly do everything, we have the time."

"It seems you don't want to see grandma and my cousins again."

He chuckles. "Hahaha, you're imagining things."

I nod while looking at his twitching face.

He faked a cough to gain my attention.

"Well, we have different things to focus, first let's strengthen your body, then broaden your mind, and if we got lucky, we can attempt to control your rage."

"That sounds cliché." I voiced my opinion.

"Cliché?" He picked his phone and attempts to search it but stopped him.

"Nothing, let's just end this problem of mine."

He nods and smiles. "Let's go get some running!"

"Running? Not Jogging?" He nods.

"We need to increase your stamina and running is a shortcut to it…" He picked up my bike.

"…Let's go!" He roars.

I immediately run, he is following me with a bike while showing his madness, this is UNFAIR!

This is the first step that I took to experience most of the things that a child like me shouldn't have.

…

…

…

-Four years later-

Hikigaya Hachiman Third year Middle School.

*Clank*

"Huff, Huff." I breathe hard. "…it seems this should be enough."

The door slammed open. "Onii-chan! You are so noisy…"

She covers her nose. "…you and Dad should clean this room, it smells a lot."

I look at my Imouto, and she is wearing my t-shirt and her undies.

I left the equipment on the floor and walk to her.

I pinched her cheeks. "Silly Imouto, this room had been added by insulation materials to prevent noise coming out."

"Ouch!" She tries to remove my fingers at her cheeks.

"and don't vent your stress on me, I know you're on your death's door so study properly…"

I look at her clothes. "…don't wear my t-shirt and wear some shorts or something."

I stopped pinching her and she caresses her cheeks.

"It's more comfortable this way, and why are you saying those things when you don't have any reaction at all."

"On your first question, it's my clothes and whenever I look at you, I felt like looking myself wearing an undies, it makes me want to puke. On the latter, let's put it in Onii-chan's privacy lists."

I remember when the time Grandpa throws me at a public pool with many adult women wearing swimsuits and bikinis.

Seriously! An elementary student experiencing those, what is he thinking?

"Baaah, Onii-chan hiding a secret is very low in Hachiman points…" She looks at my back which is the storage room, or rather a storage room with gym equipment that my dad bought.

He reveals that he is always going to a gym, but when I start my training, he immediately buys them so that I can still train even in winter which grandpa approves. I can also say that this is one of our bonding as father and son.

"…Onii-chan, I want to study but as a cute and kind sister, I want to clean the room." I grab her ahoge.

"You can do it anytime, so focus on studies or do you want me to confiscate your phone?" She pouts at my words.

Why does this chick always get happy in cleaning and sulk in studying?

"Gaaah, Onii-chan! I'll really get you a lot of negative Hachiman points!" She roars then go back to the living room.

I wiped my sweat and head to the living room.

…

…

I am currently lazing around and watching T.V. while guarding Komachi.

"Onii-chan! How come you are not studying?"

"I already learned what I need in the class, and I think I can get at least 30 in Math and Science, so I'm safe."

She shouts. "So Unfair! Why is Onii-chan who is a loser, loner, and creepy had all the things Komachi wants?"

I pinch her ears. "If you want to be a loser, loner, and creepy. I can give you some tips."

She grimaced in pain. "I don't want that, what I want is your comprehension skills. You just listen and you already get what the teachers' lessons.

"I think you can't have that, since you got a comment from your teacher, that you are not listening in class."

She pouts. "You're too much Onii-chan, do you want to lose all the remaining Hachiman points you have?"

I sigh then turn off the T.V. "Alright, what can I help you with?"

She cheekily smiles and brings all of her books.

"Oi, isn't that like everything?" I frown at her which she ignores and just nod.

I sigh and I remove the Japanese, English, Science, and Social Studies.

"Just memorize them all, and in English, just review all the seatwork, the teacher won't hassle his mind just to create a question for us."

She frowns and pouts at my suggestions.

"What?"

"Onii-chan, I'm asking you to help me find a shortcut not stating the obvious."

"Imouto, there's no shortcut that is safe, if you want one then cheating is a shortcut."

"Baaah, then you should at least help me in Math, right?"

I nod. "I'll make sure that you at least have a passing mark in this deadly book."

She smiles and hugs me. I asked her the chapters then look for the most difficult one.

"Onii-chan, why are we starting with the worst one?"

I wave my index finger and teach her some trivia. "Komachi, this is the most important factor in Math…"

It seems she is interested in my words. "…the subject gives higher points in Problem Solving, which not only saves time, but it gives a higher probability for you to pass as long as you answer it correctly besides if I am the teacher, I can easily monopolize the question in the simple multiplication and division then use the calculator to answer."

She looks like she got a nirvana from my words.

I look at the sample questions in the book and picked up my phone then search for the question.

"Here…" I gave her the solution and answer key.

She looks at me with a questioning look. "…Memorize it."

"Eh! Then all of those books are meant for memorization?" I nod on her question.

"Onii-chan, you are useless after all."

I sigh. "I'll just make you some drink."

"I want the condensed coffee!"

"Alright."

…

I make two condensed coffee and head back to Komachi who is still groaning while studying.

"Here." I hand one coffee on the table.

"Thanks." I nod then turn on the T.V. once more to waste time while guarding this chick.

…

Several hours have passed.

"I'm done!" She yelled.

"Good job." I pat her head.

"That made me hungry…" She caresses her stomach. "…I'll go cook some food."

"Yeah." I fixed her things while she rushed to the kitchen.

…

We both eat and I proposed to wash the dishes since she might forget some of the words she memorized.

I open my phone and type a message.

*To Mom*

Komachi and I will sleep early, we got exams tomorrow. Be careful on your way home.

I closed all the lights except the hallway then went back to my bedroom.

*BzzzZ BzzzZ*

*From Mom*

Okay, good night Hachiman.

I put my phone on my table and go on my bed to get some sleep.

…

…

After two days of torture, well it's designated for Komachi, I finally finished my exams.

I yawned and decided to head home.

"Yo, Hikigaya!" I look at the source of the voice.

"Orimoto," I said nonchalantly.

"How's the exam?"

"I don't know."

"Hahaha…" She laughs at my answer. "…then you'll pass since you always say that whenever I asked you."

"I see."

She nods. "Yep, want to go to a party?"

I shake my head. "I need to go home."

She holds my hand. "C' mon, we will graduate soon so this might be the last."

I sigh. "Alright."

"Great, I'll tell our classmates and it seems the class next to us will join as well."

Great, what a sickening crowd I'll experience.

…

…

The party will be held in the karaoke bar and they reserved a huge room, that's what Orimoto sent as she added me to the class group chat.

It seems I was not invited as the boys gave me a glare which I just ignored.

"Hikigaya…" Orimoto waved her hand at me. "…here, I reserved a seat for you."

The other girls give me an unwanted look, that's the difference between them and Orimoto, she's just a nice girl which can bring unwanted problems.

I sit where she reserved and let the party hold on which made me surprised that I want to puke on how the guys are having fun while giving me a glare.

Orimoto constantly bugging me as she doesn't want any students to be out of place. I just let the time flows and hopes that it will end soon.

This will be the first and the last time I'll go to a party that I'm unwilling to.

…

After the party, we all separate but Orimoto and I are heading to the same place as she lived the next subdivision from us.

"Hikigaya, did you have fun?" She looks at me with expectation.

I shake my head. "No."

"I see…" She smiles. "…you can at least lie, you know."

"What's the point when you already know it."

"It will at least lighten the mood."

I look at her. "Orimoto…"

She looks at me. "…we only met this year, right?"

She chuckles. "We are classmate this year so it's obvious."

I avert my gaze. "Then you're a good girl…"

She stops chuckling. "…and good girls don't blend with me well."

As soon as we head to the intersection, I head to my route and left Orimoto alone.

…

…

…

-Next day-

A conversation envelops the entire floor for the third year.

"Hey, you know that creepy guy."

"Yeah, what is it?"

"He confessed to Orimoto-san!"

"Really? How unlucky for Orimoto-san."

"It seems he got blinded on how Orimoto-san treats him."

"So does Orimoto rejects him?"

"I don't know yet, let's wait for her."

…

I separate with Komachi and head to my room.

A lot of gazes direct at me made me annoyed.

I ignore all of them and sit on my chair then rest my head on the table.

*Bang*

"Oi Hikigaya…" I look at the guy who disturbs my rest. "…I heard you confessed to Orimoto-san."

Confessed? So, this is the result of accepting her invitation.

I remove my look at him then rest my head on the table once more.

He walks near me and grabs my collar. "I'm talking to you."

He shouts that he gained a lot of attention, even the students from the other class peek inside.

"Isn't that the ace of the Rugby club?"

"Yeah,"

"Why is he bullying that guy?"

"Everybody knows that he likes Orimoto-san, and there are words that the other guy confessed to her."

"Seriously? That's creepy."

A lot of murmurs enter my ears.

"I didn't confess to her," I said.

"Did you think I would believe that?"

I shake my head. "No, because the majority believed that I confessed but if we continue this, we will be punished by the teachers, can you handle it, Mr. Ace?"

He grits his teeth then removed his hand at me.

"Oh, you got scared?" Another student attempts to add fuel into the fire.

"Yeah, you create a ruckus then won't finish it."

As expected from our boys, they only know how to fight in the sidelines.

The Ace got intimidated and immediately turned around to punch me.

I dodge it and punched him in his gut.

He kneels then I look at him.

"How shortsighted you are, not only you didn't believe me but also let others pressured you. If you want to continue, visit me at the teachers' office, I'll just tell them that I punched you."

I turned around and head out, but the other party involved finally went in.

"W-What happen?" The students look at Orimoto while I walk closer to her.

I look at her intensely. "I told you, good girls don't blend with me well."

I left the room and head to the Teachers' office.

…

…

Aren't I lucky? I just forced to hand an apology letter and I immediately write one.

When Lunch Break rings. I immediately stand up.

"Mr. Ace…" He looks at me. "…here, apology letter."

I hand it to him then turn around and saw Orimoto.

"Hikigaya, I'm sorry." She bows at me.

"If you want to apologize…" I point at Mr. Ace. "…then apologize to him, he is the one who got hurt…"

I walk close to her and quietly says. "…I know you're really a good girl but please do me a favor. Don't include me."

After saying those words, I left while hearing the others murmur on how rude I am.

…

…

While eating dinner Komachi spill the beans on what happened to us.

"Onii-chan, I heard you punched the Ace of our Rugby Club." Those words earn a questioning look from my parents.

"Yeah, I already told the teachers about it and gave an apology letter to the guy."

"Eh!..." Komachi looks at me disappointed.

"…Why?" She whines.

"What why?" I give her an annoyed look.

"What's wrong with Hachiman apologizing?" Mom also asks Komachi.

"A-ah, well that senpai is bullying the first-year boys so when they heard what happen they cheer for Onii-chan, even the girls in First-Year like you, I'm proud Onii-chan!" She puffs her small chest in front of us.

"Not bad." Mom nods while smirking.

"Just tell them that I apologize and that I am a creepy, loner, loser, and have dead-fish eyes to remove their fake ideals on me." I told Komachi.

"Hmmm, Bleh…" She stuck her tongue out which made me annoyed.

This chick I'll pinch your cheeks when we are alone. "…They already know all of that, and they don't care about it at all, my friends even told me that just block your eyes with bangs then it's all good."

"I don't care, this will be the last year I'll be in that school and move to Sobu soon." I eat and ignore Komachi's prattle.

"Oh right, Hachiman, here..." Mother give me an envelope. "…congrats in passing the entrance exam."

"Thanks," I said.

"Here's mine…" Another envelope was hand to me. "…congrats."

"Thanks, Dad."

"Nice Onii-chan, let's go and eat outside this weekend." This chick, are you turning into a fox?

I sigh. "Alright, my treat."

She jumps in happiness and walks closer to me then give me a kiss. "I love you Onii-chan."

"Guaahhh." Father reacts when he heard those words.

…

…

-Weekend-

It's still cold.

"How about doing it another time?" I ask Komachi.

"Baaah, Onii-chan, just wear a jacket and scarf."

Imouto, you know that the winter just ended, and the aftershock is still hitting us.

She throws me my jacket and a scarf.

"We will be leaving." We shout to our parents who are busy watching T.V.

"Take care!" Mom said.

"Take care of Komachi, Hachiman," Dad shouts.

"Yeah."

"Don't worry Dad, Onii-chan will handle everything." Yeah, even the money will be charged to me. I felt like having my bonus is only meant for our siblings' outing.

…

We are inside one of the malls in Chiba.

I look at our surroundings and there is a pack of wolves, I mean a lot of sales agents are promoting their products. It means money eater.

"Where are we going?" I ask.

"Hmmm…" She points her index finger at her chin. "…let's walk around and see if we can find something fun. Let's go Onii-chan!" She excitedly raised her hand.

"Yeah." I forcefully raised my hand.

She pouts at me and puts her left hand at her waist and the other hand pointing at me. "Onii-chan, that's not how you cheer, at least extend your hands properly and smile like this."

"Yoo!" She shows me the so-called proper way.

I also try to copy her. "Y…o…o"

She looks at me flabbergasted. "Onii-chan, can you smile again?"

I frown at her words.

"Just do it!" She yells.

I smile.

"What's that..." She points at me. "…are you looking for a fight?"

"You're like a battle-maniac when you smile." She closes her fists then tries to do a shadow boxing.

I pinched her cheeks and drag her. "Your loud voice and idiotic action will force us to be the center of attraction."

"Ouch." She caresses her cheeks then look around.

"Onii-chan." She points at something which I looked at.

A poster of Tokyo Cats and Dogs show will be held this June.

"Oh, not bad..." I praised. "…Having a pet is better than having a friend."

"That's creepy Onii-chan…" She comments which I grab her ahoge.

It moves a lot which means she thinks something idiotic. "…well, let's watch and maybe we can find some dog or cat there, let's find one and name it as Kamakura!"

"Wow, you really think so much, you forgot that it will go under examination and needs approval to our parents."

She looks down when she remembers how strict those two are.

I sigh. "You handle Dad, and I'll try to convince Mom."

She smiles. "You promise, Onii-chan."

"Yeah."

Both of us play around the arcade which I murder Komachi with my skills that forced me to buy some expensive drinks and foods as the consequence of making her sad.

"I think I lost all the money in one envelope," I said.

"Then we still have another envelope to spend next week." She smiles.

I just sigh. "Yeah…yeah."

We both head home then Komachi sleeps on the bus, so I let her sleep as she wastes too much energy mostly on her nonsense.

…

After we got home, both Komachi and I forced our parents to allow us to have a pet, and they agreed but only a cat will do since a dog is a little bit noisier than the cat.

I look at Komachi. "That went well right?"

She smiles and hugs me. "Yeah, Thank you Onii-chan."

"Yeah…yeah." I pat her head.

…

…

-Graduation-

Yes Graduation, the most annoying part of the year, if this is not mandatory, they will expect an excuse letter from me.

After listening for an hour of scripted words, and another hour for giving the awards, we finally finished.

Komachi takes a picture with me, Mom, and Dad.

I tried to nominate myself to take the picture but Mom and Komachi scold me that it is my graduation, and I shouldn't act like Dad.

I look at Dad and he just scratches his head. I thought so, it's the problem of the gene that I always love to laze around.

When we plan to leave a girl suddenly excused me.

"Um, Hikigaya can we talk?"

I want to say no but mom gives me a glare to say yes.

I hesitantly nod.

We walk at the back of the building, why so far? I don't mind talking on the spot.

"So, Orimoto what do you want to talk about?"

She chuckles. "It seems being serious and straight to the point is the real you."

I nod. "Yeah."

"Well, first I want to apologize properly and please accept it this time."

I sigh. "Alright, I accept."

"The next is I want to know if what did you think of me, aside from being a good girl."

"A classmate." I nonchalantly said.

She laughs. "Seriously? Ha…ha…ha…Well, I treat you as a friend, I'm serious."

"I see, then I apologize for not fulfilling your thoughts." I bow my head.

She waves her hands. "Don't worry…"

She hands me her phone. "…here."

I give her a questioning look.

"Give me your number, and I'll text you if I need someone to talk to."

Huh, that sounds work.

"I think that's a little bit too much for us, I think?"

She scans me then her gaze stops at my pocket.

She immediately gets my phone and hands it to me. "Please."

I sigh. "I'm always busy though, so don't expect me to answer like those other boys."

I unlock my phone and gave it to her as I type my number in her phone.

We hand each other's phone back.

She immediately calls my phone as it rings.

She smiles. "Good, it seems you put your real number."

I don't have the strength to lie in this situation.

"Well, I treat you as a friend, so I hope that you'll also treat me one, but maybe it will happen in the future." She smiles and offer me a hand. "Congratulations on graduating."

I accept her offer and shakes her hand. "Congratulations as well, Orimoto."

"It seems you are not happy though."

"I am, it's just that I'm not the showy type."

"Hahaha, that's hilarious…" She looks at me seriously. "…where are you attending your high school?"

"Sobu."

"Wow, a genius, I'm in Kaihin Sogou though, I guess we will be apart for three years huh..."

No, it's forever.

"…Well, let's meet when we are free."

"I'm busy though."

"Yeah, lazing around?"

I flinch at her words. "Where did you hear that?"

"Your younger sister told her problems with you in the first year, and we also know some first year in our club, so I learned it from them."

That Chick with her babbling mouth.

I sigh. "At least, made an appointment, I don't want to have a sudden meeting."

She nods. "Sure, see you next time then." She waves her hand.

"Yeah." I wave my hand and turn around to go back.

…

…

I look at my phone.

1 missed call: Orimoto Kaori.

Delete called log? Yes.

I closed my phone and put it back in my pocket.

I saw my parents and Komachi waving at me.

I walk to them and immediately pinched Komachi.

"Ouch…what is it this time Onii-chan?"

"Nothing, this mouth leaks too much information at first-year students."

I stopped pinching her and she just offered me a smile. "Hehehe, sorry Onii-chan."

I sigh.

"Well, what happened Hachiman?" My mom asked.

"Yeah, what happened?" Komachi who loves to intrude too much in my life won't be beaten by Mom.

"Nothing, she just forced me to get her number and stole my number as well."

"Kyaa, it's spring but Onii-chan's spring came as well." She shrieks.

"Not bad." My mom just nod.

"Seriously, it's nothing more than that." I shrug.

"Idiot." They both said in unison.

"Hahaha…" My dad laughs. "…idiot indeed."

"You're the same, it's your genes." My mom reprimands him which caused him to stay silent.

He tries to shift the attention back at me. "Well, let's celebrate for now and try to pick up everything you need in Sobu tomorrow."

I nod. "I'll finish everything tomorrow, then laze around for the rest of the break."

He nods.

We all celebrate in a good restaurant and I'll give 7/8 for the food since the price is too much to let a student like me afford it.

…

-Home-

I finished my bath when my phone vibrates.

*Orimoto Kaori*

Yo! How is your celebration? My parents treat me to a nice restaurant and it's really good, they also treat me and my siblings to an amusement park. It's weird, right? But I had fun, I hope you also have the same feeling as I experienced.

I sigh. "Seriously, that's the message you send to a friend, why send it to me? Did she send it wrong? Maybe she was."

I ignore my phone and arrange my things. I remove my books and put them in a box in case Komachi can use it like for assignments.

*BzzzZ BzzzZ BzzzZ BzzzZ BzzzZ*

I look at my ringing phone.

"Did Mom or Dad go outside?" I drop the book I hold and reach the phone at my desk.

I automatically click the answer button then tilt my head so my shoulder can hold it while I continue my work.

"Hello, Mom, Dad, or Komachi?" A sudden laugh can be heard on the other line.

"Seriously? Hahaha." I frown when I heard the voice.

"Orimoto," I said.

"Good Evening! Why didn't you answer my message?" I picked up the notebooks and arranged them as well.

"What message? The wrong sent?" I asked her.

"Hahaha, that's not wrong, I shared it to you and remember that I won't send a wrong one to many people."

"I see. My bad then." I put the phone on the loudspeaker and closed the box.

"Don't worry, I thought you're ignoring me, but luckily you weren't, that's good news."

"Yeah." After sealing the box, I labeled it as Komachi's future assignments the third year.

It seems she heard my commotion. "What are you doing?"

"I'm packing my items for my Imouto's future."

"Eh! Your sister is lucky to have a cheat code like that."

"No, it's for me, so that she won't bug me when she can't think about her assignment."

"Hahaha, that's so you." I carry the box and put it under the Komachi's future assignments the second year.

"So, what did you called for?" I picked the phone and turned off the loudspeaker.

"Ah, well I won't call if you just answer my message."

"I see, then I'll answer next time."

"Yes, you should."

"Then, I'll hang up now, I need to go to Sobu tomorrow, I'll reply to the message after this."

"Ah, Yeah, I'll also go to Kaihin Sogou. Goodnight then."

"Yeah. Same."

I hang up the call and read the message once more.

*To Orimoto Kaori*

We eat in a good restaurant but it's expensive, I don't know if it's weird, I can't compare what we experienced but I think we both felt fine.

I closed my phone and set an alarm.

"Sobu is my next stop huh." I closed the light and fell asleep.

*BzzzZ BzzzZ*

Author's Note:

I think it is the alternative version of the Hachiman in my first story. I'll at least try to update each story once a month.
