When the hodgepodge world of anime meets the shadow king

"We are people with super powers, but when we take off this outer layer, we are just ordinary students!"

"It is true that we can compete with the American army and even have an advantage in some aspects, but what about our loved ones? We simply don't have that much energy to protect them!"

Hikigaya Hachiman recalled the time when he was about to die when he was defeated by Zaria when he first gained his ability, and Kitahara Akira saved him in time.

He closed his eyes, clenched his teeth, and said with difficulty

"Our original purpose was to protect our families, wasn't it?"

The scene suddenly became silent, and Yuigahama Yui's eyes jumped back and forth between Hikigaya Hachiman and Kasumigaoka Utaha with worry.

The "coward" Kasumigaoka Utaha stood up, her eyes gleaming with light, and was using her ability

"Hikigaya, you're a coward"

Hikigaya Hachiman is slightly distracted

Kasumigaoka Utaha walked up to Hikigaya Hachiman and said in a voice that everyone could hear without any emotion:

"You doubted your life because of what happened in junior high school, and even faced Yuigahama's obvious affection but still kept avoiding it."

“Eh?!” Yuigahama Yui blushed when she was suddenly called out.

"And now, you will not save Kitahara Akatsuki because you are afraid of the power of America."

"......" Hikigaya Hachiman was silent

Thinking she had touched the other person's sore spot, Kasumigaoka Utaha struck while the iron was hot

"Of course, what you said makes some sense, and I won't force you to save people."

"But don't forget," Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at him, "without Kitahara Akatsuki, you would have died in that mall a long time ago. You will always owe him a life."

After that, Kasumigaoka Utaha walked towards the door with her long legs. "Let's go, Eriri, let's go find other people. There will always be someone willing to join us."

Sawamura Eriri stood up from her seat and opened her mouth to say something as she passed by Hikigaya Hachiman, but swallowed her words after a moment.

"Isn't it the same for you, too? Kasumigaoka-senpai?" When Kasumigaoka Utaha was about to leave the Service Club, Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly said

Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had already reached the door, stopped.

She turned around, frowning, "What did you say?"

Hikigaya Hachiman looked at her calmly with his dead fish eyes, "You said I was a coward and didn't dare to face Yuigahama's feelings, but aren't you the same, Kasumigaoka-senpai?"

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, you like Kitahara, right? But why don't you dare to confess? Is it because of Yukinoshita and Kato?"

Sawamura Eriri glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha, and she knew that sooner or later something would happen because of this.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled

"You are wrong. I like my junior, but I respect his choice and won't keep pestering him."

"Me too," Hikigaya Hachiman said calmly, "I did not dare to face Yuigahama's feelings before, but now I can fully accept and make clear a fact that I have never dared to admit - I also have a good impression of her."

"Xiaoqi..." Yuigahama Yui covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes filled with tears

Sawamura Eriri took a deep breath with a distorted expression

Mm, it's the sour smell of love

Hikigaya Hachiman continued, "Similarly, the reason for postponing the action is not because I am afraid, but to preserve manpower unless it is necessary."

"Senior Kasumigaoka, have you ever thought that since those guys have issued a wanted order for Kitahara and his group, it means that Kitahara and his group are temporarily in a safe environment?"

"With Beiyuan's strength, I can't think of anyone who can stop him. Since he didn't come to us, the situation is not that urgent."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked confident, "In this situation, acting rashly will only make things worse!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

She felt that what Hikigaya Hachiman said made sense.

"Shh!"

The door was suddenly opened, and a dashing figure appeared at the door.

"With Kitahara and the others not here, has the Service Club started to quarrel among themselves?" Shizuka Hiratsuka leaned against the door with her arms folded across her chest and glanced at everyone in the Service Club.

Hikigaya Hachiman's dead fish eyes widened slightly in surprise. "Hiratsuka-sensei?!"

"Hikigaya, Kasumigaoka-san." Shizuka Hiratsuka came over and forced the two back to their seats with one hand each. "If you have anything to say, please talk it over and don't quarrel."

"Hey... Hey...!" Hikigaya Hachiman was forced back to his seat with a shocked look on his face.

Having received the power of light, his physical fitness far exceeded the limits of humans even without armor, but he was easily pinned down by Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Combined with Hiratsuka Shizuka's tone... an incredible guess appeared in Hikigaya Hachiman's mind.

After regaining her composure, Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka and asked, "What is it that brings you to the Service Club, Mr. Hiratsuka?"

"I asked Mr. Hiratsuka to come here," Kitahara Akira's voice rang out from everyone's cell phones.

"???"

Everyone hurriedly took out their cell phones, on which Kitahara Akira's face appeared.

"Kitahara, why did you contact us just now? Do you know how worried we are?" Sawamura Eriri looked blaming, but her eyes kept glancing at Hikigaya Hachiman and Kasumigaoka Utaha, hinting that

"Sorry," Kitahara Akira spread his hands. "America monitored everyone's cell phones. It took Jarvis some time to bypass them and set up a hidden communication channel."

"I was worried that everyone in the Service Club would get impulsive because of our situation, so I asked Mr. Hiratsuka to help watch over them." Kitahara Akatsuki smiled helplessly, "It seems that my worries were right."

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms over her chest and turned her face to the side, her plump thighs moving her feet impatiently stomping on the ground

"Ah! In that case..."

Yuigahama Yui rolled her eyes, trying to find a topic to change the subject, and finally shifted her gaze to Hiratsuka Shizuka

"Does Hiratsuka-sensei know about us too?"

"Yes, you guys really surprised me. The club I'm in charge of is full of Batman and other people." Hiratsuka Shizuka smiled and took out a solid iron Rubik's Cube.

“But you don’t have to worry about my safety.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka exerted force with one hand, and the Rubik's Cube was instantly flattened

"Gurgle" Hikigaya Hachiman swallowed his saliva

"Senior Shiyu" Kitahara Akatsuki looked at Kasumigaoka Shiyu

Kasumigaoka Utaha turned her face expressionlessly and said, "What's wrong, junior?"

"Thank you," Kitahara Xiao smiled, "Thank you for worrying about my safety. Fortunately, I am not seriously injured at the moment."

Kasumigaoka Utaha said "huh" and looked away again, but a blush appeared on her face.

"Old Eight" Kitahara Akira looked at Hikigaya Hachiman again

"Ah...ah..."

"While we are away, the service department will be temporarily entrusted to you."

Although Hikigaya Hachiman has some character flaws, his ability is unquestionable, so there is no need to worry if you leave it to him, Kitahara Akatsuki

"The Ministry does not need to be closed to the public, that would only attract attention."

"Keep it open while taking two long and boring commissions to delay time, so as to make everyone's attention less focused on this"

"No problem," Hikigaya Hachiman nodded, "You should be careful too, Kitahara."

Kitahara Akatsuki nodded and then disconnected the link
