Lost Narrative Poetry

Hikigaya just laughed.

Why are these two people more cruel and terrifying than the other? Is it true that birds of a feather flock together and people flock together? But why did the out-of-place myself join such a club?

Of course, he didn't take this kind of joke seriously. We were all high school students, so they didn't really regard human life as trivial... It was impossible to say that while he was doing homework at night, the other party went out to do it in the dark. Something about killing people and dumping their bodies, right?

"Speaking of which, why is Hikigaya-san planning to quit the service club?" Xia Ran didn't care what the other party thought, but asked out of curiosity.

The information he just heard seemed to be something like this, but the specific reason was not very clear.

"Because he is planning to join the tennis club." Yukinoshita said calmly.

"Tennis club?" Xia Ran tilted his head, his eyes suddenly full of suspicion, which was a full distrust.

"Hey, is this look too rude? I am somewhat confident in this aspect..." Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but explain with gestures. He is not completely uneducated!

"Oh? Then do you know the Tezuka Domain?" Xia Ran's eyes lit up and he asked enthusiastically.

"No, what is that?"

"A tennis stunt that allows the ball to return to the center of the court on its own initiative, so that the person using the skill can fight back without moving a single step, while the opponent has to run back and forth throughout the court, and then is defeated due to gradual physical exhaustion."

"Isn't this too ridiculous?" Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes twitched.

"Then you will be deprived of five senses? It can deprive people of basic sensory perceptions such as vision, hearing, and touch, and bring extremely powerful pressure to the opponent, thus causing the opponent's mental breakdown and then losing the game."

"No, and you don't need this kind of skill to play tennis!" Hikigaya gritted his teeth and replied.

"So, the black hole and the shadow clone..."

"No way! Stop it, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Do you have any misunderstandings about the sport of tennis?! This is just a sports competition, not a ninja war! I am not a fire ninja! "

Hikigaya tried his best to complain, is tennis such a cruel and demanding sport?

I'm really sorry! He originally thought that he had barely mastered some basic skills, but now it seems that he is not even as good as a water flea!

"No, you can't do this or that, so why do you want to join the tennis club?" Xia Ran asked with dissatisfaction, a little disappointed.

You don’t have superpowers, but you still want to play tennis? !

Yukinoshita explained: "He is just too naive. Because the tennis club has always been weak and inactive, he thinks that as long as he joins, he can directly change the tennis club and change the current situation..."

The school's tennis club is a relatively weak club with a very small number of members, almost hovering on the edge of being abandoned. After this year's national competition is over, the third graders will leave the club, and the tennis club will become even weaker.

Moreover, most of the first-year club members have only started to play tennis in high school, and many are not used to it, so it is impossible to boost morale. In addition, because there are not many members, all members are regular players, so there is no competition for substitutes. So there is no pressure to compete for the top spot.

Weak associations often face this problem, and it is difficult to recruit new blood. Therefore, associations with few members will not compete for the position of formal members. Without pressure and competition, there will naturally be no progress.

In this case, the strength of the association cannot become stronger.

If the club does not strengthen, it will not be able to recruit new blood, thus forming a vicious cycle that continues.

So some people hope to invite Hikigaya Hachiman to join the tennis club, because he plays tennis fairly well and can give people some stimulation...and it happens to be a carrot and a pit. If there is one more person, there will definitely be another one. People need to give up their position and go from official to substitute.

Even if someone doesn't like it, they won't want to be the only one eliminated because it feels very embarrassing.

It can be said that Hikigaya Hachiman's role is equivalent to a catfish, used to throw into the lifeless small pond of the tennis club to stimulate other fish to compete for survival.

It seems that the logic is correct, but if Hikigaya comes as the shot in the arm, it will definitely not get the desired result, or it should be said that it will not be the direction they want to see.

"With you as a common enemy, it is indeed possible for them to unite. But that is only to eliminate the enemy, not to improve themselves, so the problem remains unresolved... This is my personal experience."

After analyzing the context of the whole matter in detail and comprehensively, Yukinoshita made this conclusion lightly.

"..."

Hikigaya Hachiman's face became a little gloomy. He was actually not a stupid person. Of course he knew that the development the girl mentioned was the greatest possibility, or that it was the future that was bound to happen.

“Wait, what do you mean personal experience?”

But compared to Hikigaya, Xia Ran's attention went astray as always. He suddenly became interested in Yukinoshita's personal experience, "Could it be that you have also been rejected like this?"

"That's right, you probably don't know, but I came back from abroad as a transfer student to study in a junior high school here."

The girl just glanced at him and didn't hide anything. After all, it wasn't something that needed to be kept secret, so she said in a very nonchalant manner -

"The girls in the class at that time... no, probably all the girls in the school wanted to get rid of me. However, no one worked hard to improve themselves in order to beat me... What a bunch of imbeciles..."

Although she seemed very calm and indifferent on the surface, a black flame seemed to suddenly light up behind her.

"..."

"..."

Such strong spiritual pressure! Have you stepped on a landmine? !

Xia Ran also twitched the corner of his mouth, so he quickly looked at the dead fish-eyed boy next to him, changed the subject and asked: "Speaking of which, is it the friend named Totsuka who invited you to join the tennis club?"

"Yes...it's Totsuka, a classmate in the class. She wants me to join the tennis club to help her..." Hikigaya turned around, looked sideways at the window and coughed, with a slightly unnatural expression. explained.

"Her? Oh, I understand, it turns out it's for a girl?"

Xia Ran suddenly had a look of understanding and nodded as if he had some understanding.

He patted Hikigaya on the shoulder and said in a mature tone: "You have indeed betrayed the purpose of the FFF group! But don't worry, I'm not a member, so I won't kill you just because you quit the group. .”

"Totsuka is not a girl..." Hikigaya waited for a while before squeezing out such an answer through his teeth. At the same time, he actually felt a little disappointed that he was forced to face reality.

Oops, he was a little careless for a while. He always thought that Totsuka was actually a girl, so he subconsciously called her "her".

But what the hell is the FFF group? Hikigaya Hachiman tried hard to remember, but he couldn't remember when he had joined such a club, what was the purpose of the club, and why would he be killed if he quit the club?

"Huh?" Xia Ran's expression changed slightly, "Isn't she a girl?"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the activity room, and then it was pulled open, and a cheerful and carefree voice came: "Hi - good afternoon everyone!"

Yuigahama Yui still has a silly smile on her face, and she doesn't seem to be worried at all.

Behind her, there was also a girl with a sad face. She looked weak and lacked confidence, lowering her gaze. Her fingertips were weakly holding the hem of Yuigahama Yui's coat.

"Ah...Hikigaya-san!"

But after glancing around the activity room, the girl suddenly smiled, as if she had found someone she could rely on.

She ran over with small steps, stretched out her hand and grabbed Hikigaya Hachiman's sleeve.

"Totsuka? Why are you here..."

Hikigaya Hachiman felt a little at a loss for a moment. He just felt that it was wrong for him to withdraw his hand, and it was wrong to let the other party pull him like this. His eyes wandered to the side.

"..."

"..."

"Is this Ayaka Totsuka-san?" Yukinoshita was also slightly shocked. After all, she didn't really get to know all the classmates in the school, so she was naturally not mentally prepared.

But no matter how you look at this one, she looks like a delicate girl!

It's not that she's particularly beautiful, but she has a thin figure, thin arms, waist and feet, and her skin is quite snow-white. With a cute face and a girl-like voice, she looks like a cute girl in appearance and behavior.

"How do I know this...but it should be..." Xia Ran's expression was also a little strange.

Yukinoshita frowned, then lowered her voice and asked softly: "Do you think it's a girl or a boy?"

"Why are you asking me? How do I know this..." Xia Ran turned to look at her, but the expression on her face became even weirder, and she still answered the same question.

Why do you have to ask yourself this kind of thing?

Could it be that even she subconsciously felt that she should know everything?

But he has not mastered the skill of "mental scanning", and the sense of breath is only a vague and vague perception. How could he be so cruel that he knows everything about a stranger he just met!

Especially the other party's appearance is too deceptive. Judging from the existing information, he is basically a boy with Schrödinger's nature.

Looking at Totsuka Ayaka's soft and frail look, and then at Hikigaya Hachiman's embarrassed look, Xia Ran couldn't help it, and whispered to Yukinoshita: "But I think, In fact, gender is not an issue at all..."

"...Are you a pervert?" The girl immediately took two steps back and stared at him with disgust.

"Hey! Can you please hear me out? I mean, for Hikigaya-san, Totsuka-san's gender doesn't seem to be a problem at all... Isn't it obvious from the way he looks?"

The corners of Xia Ran's eyes twitched slightly. She hadn't finished speaking yet. Where did she think about it?
