I, Hikigu, are contained by the evil god

But the current Biqigu is very different from before, he thought about it, and found that he seemed to have no reason to refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay."

Hikigu said,

"Then let's go home together."

The moonlight is like water, and the dark night gradually quiets down.

The two were walking on a small road with few pedestrians, the dim street lights elongated the shadows of the two walking side by side, and the light made the angle of the shadows gradually tilt——

So the shoulders of the two shadows leaned together.

……

……

Chapter No.16 Sensible Komachi, Puller Hook ([-] in [-])

When was the last time we walked the streets home together like this? "Xia Zhiqiu felt that such a scene seemed familiar, and felt very familiar, but he also felt that it was a long, long time ago when he did this last time.

"It was the day we first met, right?" Bi Qigu replied leisurely in a deep voice.

"We also met the ghost nun that day... Until now, when I think of him sitting on the bus, I feel shuddering."

The summer evening wind blows gently, and the sound of two people's pattering footsteps can be clearly heard in the quiet night.

"Yeah, that day... When I invited you to go with me at that time, you were still very reluctant."

Hikigu shrugged, "Of course, you know that I am afraid of trouble, and a good-looking person like you is usually synonymous with trouble."

Xia Zhiqiu smiled and looked ahead, walked slowly without turning his head: "Can I understand that this is a compliment to me?"

"It depends on how you understand it."

"...Fortunately, it's all over."

Xia Zhiqiu suddenly said, "Luckily, that ghost nun and the evil spirit behind it have been killed, thanks to you."

She didn't even want to mention the evil god's name, lest it bring up memories she didn't want to think about.

Bi Qigu waved his hand: "You have also contributed a lot here."

"To be honest, although I still feel a little bit afraid of what happened at that time, I often feel that this is also a kind of luck."

"From the moment I met the ghost nun, or when I saw Yang Nao holding a big sword at the door of my house,"

Kasumi Hill said,

"My fate changed drastically at that time."

"If it wasn't for that day, I should still be going to school in an ordinary way, writing my novels in an ordinary way, being an ordinary so-called 'beautiful girl famous writer', and going to a decent university after graduation. I can see the end of my life, although I can support myself, but that's it."

Biqigu, who was originally a servant: "..."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's life sounds like the "ordinary" she said.

Kasumigaoka doesn’t have this self-consciousness at all, “So what I have now, I really didn’t even dare to think about it in the past... I have never felt that I am a very powerful person like now, and I have never felt like I am now. With my chest up and my head up full of confidence, I even want to urgently meet my parents from out of town to let them know that I have greatly raised the status of the whole family."

Hikigu nodded, "That sounds really elated."

No matter how good the light novels are, they can't be compared with Xia Zhiqiu's current status, and he can completely understand how cool this feeling is, similar to returning home in brocade clothes, probably even Xia Zhiqiu is not exempt.

"So I thank the association that gave me all this, then,"

Kasumi Hill stopped and turned to look at Hiki Valley.

So Hikigu also stopped to look at Xia Zhiqiu, and he heard Xia Zhiqiu say to him seriously,

"I thank you most."

"If it weren't for you, I would have died on the bus... I would just be part of the blood in the gas tank, and I don't have to think about anything after that."

"And all the meritorious deeds I have made so far have only been honored by following you."

"I know that without you to verify and practice, no matter how much information I look up and how many clues I find, it will be useless."

"Even at the end, it was your recommendation to General Sakalski that made the higher-ups discover my civil position and give me an exceptional promotion."

"In the meeting room of the branch in the afternoon, when Xue Nai bowed to everyone and said thank you, I actually wanted to say it too...and this thank you, I want to say to you the most."

"You don't want to bow too, do you?" Bi Qigu raised his eyelids, took two steps back and waved his hands again and again, begging for mercy, "Please forgive me, I really can't bear this kind of thing, so you can just say thank you verbally." Yes, I accept your thanks, and I also want to say thank you to you."

"Ah, then I also accept your thanks."

Hikigaya's words made Kasumigaoka unable to bow, and she gradually returned to normal, even winking at Hikigaya, "After all, the 'common sense' of the Hikigaya branch chief really isn't enough."

Bi Qigu wanted to complain a long time ago: "I'm already trying my best to make up lessons...and that's not common sense at all!"

"It's just common sense!"

The atmosphere returned to a sense of cheerfulness and tranquility, and the two stepped forward, walking down the street again.

"Beautiful girl writer or something... In fact, I am the one who is miserable. Your life before joining the secret is already very enviable."

Bi Qigu smashed his mouth.

"Huh?" Kasumigaoka asked in surprise, "Speaking of which, what was Hiki Valley like in the past? I only know a little, but I don't know very well."

"Well...both parents are dead, and there is a younger sister who has to support and go to school. The only relative I can rely on is too busy to take care of himself. The situation is not even better than mine."

In a nonchalant tone, Hikigu talked about his unbearable past... But he just said it very roughly, and didn't intend to go into details.

"Under such circumstances, just think about what will happen to me."

Xia Zhiqiu "..." She fell into silence, not knowing what to say.

Just thinking about it, she felt that such a day must be so gloomy and suffocating.

And it is true.

At that time, Hikigu couldn't see the way forward, and his goal was to live. He was like a dead person lying quietly in a coffin, watching himself rot, waiting for his body to be covered with maggots.

But the dead also have a magnificent inner world and distant longings. Probably no one can imagine that the long sleepers under the peaceful land would have an uneasy sleep.

At that time, Hikigu wanted to change this fate all the time, but he just couldn't do it... Sometimes hard work really has a limit, and all his pretentiousness was smashed by fate at that time.

At that time, Biqigu could often hear someone saying to him: "Get up! Don't let yourself degenerate into a lowly reptile."

——Then he really evolved from a humble maggot to a dragon roaring to the heavens.

...But there is no need to tell others about these psychological fluctuations, even he himself doesn't care about those past feelings any more.

After all, from the perspective of someone who has experienced it, as long as you are happy enough now.If you are good enough, you will be able to look at all the misfortunes in the past with a calm and even ridiculed attitude. This is the calmness that only belongs to those who have gone through difficulties.

Hikigu now only needs to remember the unwillingness at the beginning, be grateful for everything that exists, and at the same time silently turn the past into a lasting motivation... just do it.

As for when talking about this topic with others, Bi Qigu can also bring it up casually with a normal heart, and doesn’t bother to elaborate on how difficult it was for him at the beginning, how elated he was when he got through such a difficult time... that would be suspected of showing off, It's not in his character.

"Oh, why are you silent?" Hikigu noticed Kasumigaoka's reaction, and said amusedly, "I feel like it's nothing, why are you so sad here?"

"—That's really unnecessary. Let's just look forward together."

He whispered to Kasumi Hill,

"We are living a good life now, and we will have a better life in the future. Let us work together to develop our own future, shall we?"

"Yeah!" Kasumigaoka nodded vigorously, the ends of her black hair swaying, and her raised voice broke the tranquility of the long street at night, "Work hard together!"

Bi Qigu looked at Xia Zhiqiu and smiled even more happily.

That's why Kasumigaoka discovered that Hikigu Hachiman seemed to be smiling more and more recently.

... She also found that when Hikigu smiled from the heart, his eyelids were not drooping and listless, but normal, with gentle smiling eyebrows and delicate facial features,

——It's so beautiful.

……

……

Back home, Hikigaya found that the light in the house was turned off outside, and thought it was Komachi who was asleep.

So Bi Qigu tiptoed to open the door, trying not to make any noise, but when he reached the entrance, he heard the TV in the living room beeping, but he didn't turn on the light in the living room.

Alternately flickering TV light and shadows illuminated the young but graceful figure half lying on the sofa. Komachi was wearing pajamas with loose hair, and a few drops of crystal water were stained on her white and red feet, half suspended in the air. On the side of the sofa, it was obviously not long after taking a shower.

Hikigu raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to turn on the light in the living room, but after thinking about it, he put his hand down again.

"Brother, you're back!" Komachi glanced back, then turned his head back to watch TV intently.

The very classic movie "Kikujiro's Summer" was playing on TV, and I don't know how Komachi remembered this old movie that he had seen before.

"Well, I'm back. Why didn't you turn on the light in the living room? I thought you were asleep." Hikigaya was changing shoes at the entrance while chatting with Komachi.

"Because watching a movie like this makes you feel better." Komachi stretched out on the sofa, like a lazy kitten, "Watching a movie must have an atmosphere, even if it's a home theater."

"Sounds very reasonable." Bi Qigu slammed his mouth down, tidied up the shoes he had taken off, straightened up and clapped his hands, "But shouldn't you be going back to the bedroom to sleep now?"

"Because I was waiting for you to come back?" Komachi said casually, "—Of course not, I just watched TV and didn't feel sleepy, after all, it's not too late now."

"Forget it, you're on vacation anyway, so I don't bother to care about you." Hikigaya will give Komachi his own space, knowing that overly strict management may have negative effects, "Just remember to study every day, after all, you are about to take the high school exam .”

"I know, you can rest assured."

When it comes to taking the high school entrance examination, Komachi shows full confidence. After all, she has been working hard in the direction of the key high school Zongwu Gao since the first day of junior high school. Now, there is a feeling of "if I fail the entrance examination, then others will I can't pass the exam" confidence.

This kind of confidence is not blind, it comes from the results of the usual tests, and it also comes from Komachi's continuous efforts.

Hikigu raised the Patek Philippe on his wrist to check the time, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.He walked slowly past the living room, turned a corner and walked towards the bedroom,

"Then I'm going to change clothes and take a shower?"

"Yeah, let's go." Komachi waved his hands behind him on the sofa without looking back.

"...Oh, yes, Komachi."

Hikigaya paused, turned around and called out to Komachi,

"I have something to tell you."

"Huh?" Komachi turned around and blinked, and found that Hikigaya's expression was very serious, so he raised his hand to pick up the remote control next to his white and round thigh, and paused the movie that was broadcasting to the highlights.

Her expression became serious:

"You said."

"In a few days, I may have to go on a business trip again."

"Why are you on a business trip again? It's only been a few days..."

Komachi subconsciously wanted to complain and complain, but she immediately realized that this was not something that Hikigaya could decide. Her complaints would only add to the burden of Hikigaya's busy work.

She curled her lips and asked back:

"Okay, when?"

Hikigu felt relieved that Komachi is really sensible now.

"I can't tell when, just look at the arrangement above."

Hikigu said, "But this time, I may go out for a longer time, at least it should be longer than the last business trip."

"Oh..." Komachi was obviously a little bit disappointed, she nodded reluctantly, but quickly pulled herself together, "Okay, I see, then what?"

In fact, she didn't want to show such a disappointed expression in front of Hikigu, she was already a sensible girl...but she just couldn't help it.

It was hard for her to take such a summer vacation, and this time it happened to be the most difficult time for her family. When her brother was slowly getting through his work, she had a lot of free time and had planned a lot of vacations to go with Hiki Valley Hachiman Where she was playing, she also wanted Hikigu Hachiman to accompany her well.

But now, her vacation has just begun, and Hikigu told her that she was going on a business trip, so that all her plans before she had time to say it fell through, and all her expectations and joys disappeared.

——This sense of gap made her so disappointed that she couldn't restrain it from appearing on her face.

"Then, my idea is, when I'm not at home, do you want to invite your five cousins ​​to come and live with us for a while? After all, you are at home alone. First, I am a little worried about you, and second, I am afraid that you will be bored."

"Um……"

Hikigaya's proposal is very good, but Komachi doesn't really want to continue discussing this issue.

"...Let's talk about it later."

Hikiya could see that Komachi was not in high spirits, and he knew the reason, but he could only be silent for a few seconds before nodding, his voice a little low:

"...Okay, I'm going to take a shower then."

He turned and walked towards the bedroom.
