Zongman: I am on the set of Oregairu, playing the role of Bai Xue

After saying goodbye to Mr. Hiratsuka, Kitano rode home alone.

He followed the route he rode yesterday and had a smooth journey, so he got home much faster.

He couldn't help but wonder what fun it was to stay in school all day.

Come to think of it, no one came up to him in class to talk to him, and he only spoke to three people that day.

Yukinoshita Yukino.

Hiratsuka Shizuka.

There is also the auntie in the convenience store.

It’s not that he deliberately avoids people around him, it’s just that no one is interested in him.

Beinuo recalled his high school life, when he could spend a whole day without saying a word.

I was indeed a bit depressed during that period.

Hachiman's past was even worse. He had experienced similar bullying since elementary school. Coupled with being hurt in interpersonal relationships many times, it was natural for him to choose to be a loner.

When watching the anime, Kitano can feel the joy from Hachiman's dark history.

But after actually becoming a person involved, I realized that there was some gloom left over from Hachiman's past failures.

The combination of the two memories makes it difficult for Beinuo to have a good impression of the school, but if you look at it rationally, you can't say that you hate it.

He was daydreaming while admiring the scenery along the way until he arrived at Hikigaya's house.

The day passed peacefully.

Wait until he wakes up from bed again.

A similar day, just like the gears turning along the predetermined trajectory, there is still a long way to go as a student.

Get up early, wash up, and ride a bike to school.

Time will not suddenly speed up, and you can only sit in the classroom and listen to the lectures bored until the afternoon club activity starts.

?

Bei Nuo came to the door of the service club alone.

Knocked on the door.

But no one responded.

Could it be that Yukinoshita hasn't come yet?

He tried to open the door with his hands, but found that it was completely blocked. It was indeed locked.

"You came quite early."

Yukinoshita's voice sounded behind him.

Bei Nuo turned around and watched her walking towards him step by step, her delicate face getting closer.

If Yukinoshita didn't have a poker face at this moment, but showed a cuter smile, it would definitely be a happy thing.

"I have nothing to do anyway, so I might as well sit down in a quiet place."

Kitano turned his body sideways to give Yukinoshita space to open the door.

"This is not a secret base for you to slack off. As a member of the Servant Club, please be ready to work at any time."

While correcting Kitano's lazy ideas, Yukinoshita took out the key and opened the door.

"By the way, why is it called the Service Club?"

"The dictionary definition of 'serving' is: to provide services without compensation. This is completely consistent with the content of our club activities. If you still don't understand, perhaps the term 'volunteer' will be easier to understand."

Kitano and Yukinoshita walked into the classroom. There were two chairs placed separately in the middle of the empty space. They sat down in their original seats.

"Wouldn't it be better to just call it the Volunteer Club?"

"Don't you think it's a bit troublesome to pronounce? Besides, this name has no characteristics, just like your name, it has a weak sense of existence."

Yukinoshita's habit of insulting others is as natural as ever.

"It's better to have a weak presence, so that work and troubles won't come to you so often." Beinuo responded with ease.

"Really? How did it become like I was praising you?" Yukinoshita rubbed her temples with a headache. "By the way, is your attitude negative or positive? Why do you often reveal contradictions in your words?"

"Really? Having a weak presence makes people feel relaxed."

"No, that's not what I wanted to say." Yukinoshita put her fingers on her chin and quickly organized her words in her mind.

"From the point of view of a weak sense of existence, if a person wants to reduce his sense of existence, he must do so through negative behavior."

"But your speech just now clearly leaned towards the positive side. Isn't this inconsistency between positive thoughts and negative actions contradictory? Or are you just making a sophistry?"

There was a glimmer of surprise in Beinuo's eyes.

As expected of Yukinoshita Yukino, her observation skills are quite sharp.

The contradiction she noticed was the sense of disharmony brought about by Kitano being replaced by Hachiman.

If Hachiman were to respond to Yukinoshita's sarcasm, he would most likely give a similar answer to Kitano's.

But that was a cover-up for the sake of face, and it was also what Yukinoshita called "sophistry."

But no matter how weird Hachiman's personality is, his thoughts and actions will definitely lean towards the negative side.

I didn't expect that Yukinoshita actually noticed this subtle difference.

To be honest, there is only one person who is most likely to see through Beinuo.

That is Hikigaya Komachi.

Komachi is the person closest to Hachiman and the one who understands Hachiman the best.

Therefore, Kitano was restrained in front of Komachi, and in most cases he adopted Hachiman's habits, which was also to avoid the situation of [Material Damage].

However, Kitano never expected that Yukinoshita Yukino, whom he had only known for a few days, would actually notice the incongruity of him replacing Hachiman.

The process of recording the material was more challenging than he had imagined.

Of course, this challenge can be fooled.

As long as you act dumb, you can basically get through it smoothly.

But Kitano intends to stick to his own personality and decides to respond to Yukinoshita's doubts after serious consideration.

"I'm certainly not being quibbling, nor do I need to be."

"Yukinoshita-san, simply labeling people as negative or positive is meaningless. Do you remember what I said yesterday?"

Of course Yukinoshita remembered it. Even after returning home yesterday, her brain was automatically replaying the conversation with Kitano.

Every time she reflected, a desire would arise.

It is the desire for answers and truth.

"What you mean is that people are a collection of contradictions, so it is normal for their thoughts and actions to be contradictory." Yukinoshita repeated his point of view.

Bei Nuo nodded: "Yes, just like some people often say they want to lose weight, but their actual actions do not change at all."

"So you are also that lazy person?"

If this is true, Yukinoshita would be completely disappointed with Kitano.

In response, Bei Nuo looked at her with a smile and reminded her slowly.

"Do you remember what I just said?"

Yukinoshita was stunned at first, then recalled the other party's point of view, and immediately understood what Kitano meant.

There is really no point in labeling...

She thought to herself that she seemed a little anxious.

Are you trying to find a clue to break the dilemma? Or do you simply want to refute his point of view?

Yukinoshita didn't expect that in addition to often encountering this situation in front of her sister, it was also so similar when facing the peer next to her.

But upon closer thought, there seems to be a difference.

She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The conversation died down and the classroom became quiet again.

Kitano and Yukinoshita are the type of people who can enjoy quietness, and they don't feel awkward even if they remain silent.

This tranquility will eventually be broken.

And starting from today, it will become very lively for a long time.

Because there was a sound of a visitor outside the door——

Yukinoshita was sensitive to a faint knock on the door, and she seemed to shyly test the people in the classroom.

"Come in." Yukinoshita closed the book and responded formally.

"Sorry to bother you..."

The person outside the door made a slightly nervous voice, and it could be heard that it was a girl.

The girl opened the door a little, just enough for her to pass through, and then quickly closed the door after entering the classroom.

Only then did Kitano and Yukinoshita see the girl's appearance clearly.

She had orange-pink shoulder-length hair, with the upper left side of her hair tied into a small bun.

Her figure is much better than Yukinoshita's. The skirt of her school uniform is deliberately shortened, and her shirt with a few buttons undone reveals a snow-white complexion. One can tell without a close look that she is one of those glamorous and beautiful people.

Kitano roughly expected Yuigahama to come today, so he was not surprised.

The focus is on the next commission.

Yuigahama turned around, clasped one hand in front of her chest, her eyes wandering around, looking timid.

"Um... I heard from Hiratsuka-sensei..."

As she was talking and looking around, she naturally noticed Bei Nuo.

The result is——

"Why is Ah Qi here too!"

Yuigahama's exaggerated rising tone and lively body movements were enough to show the extent of her astonishment.

At the same time, Beinuo was also amazed.

In the anime, he is just a spectator and it is difficult to be moved by him through the screen.

But now that I'm involved, I can personally experience the energy of Yuigahama's vitality.

Yuigahama's instant exclamation was so lively, or rather an overreaction, that it stunned Kitano, who had prepared his lines.

Therefore, he missed the best time to reply.

All that remains is silence.

The silence between Kitano and Yukinoshita.

After Yuigahama's excitement, she was also enveloped by the awkward silence.

She was more aware of her own gaffe than anyone else. Her body froze visibly, and she had to cover it up with laughter.

“Ah, ahahaha…”
