The next day, Friday.

The class obviously doesn't know about the club yet. Kanzaki and Himenoyuki are really good people who keep their word, otherwise he wouldn't be so relaxed.

Hikigaya's life also remains unchanged.

While in the classroom.

Himenoyuki also refused to communicate with him, but pretended not to see it, making Hikigaya convinced again that this guy was just pretending to be good.

All day long.

Ichinose never stops and is surrounded by classmates all the time. He is worthy of being a top student.

Until after school.

He finally found an opportunity, walked behind him cautiously and discreetly, and lowered his voice and said:

"Ichinose, can you excuse me for a moment?"

after all.

He had already done damage to Ichinose, and it would not be surprising if he was rejected, so he was prepared for a long-term battle.

"Huh?"

Ichinose couldn't help but make a strange noise, and was almost startled. Does this guy walk without making a sound?

"Huh? It turns out to be Hikigaya-san, I'm scared to death..."

Ichinose couldn't help lowering her voice and said, "Okay, that's just right. Actually, I also have something to say to Hikigaya-san."

"Oh? Yes, thank you."

Hikigaya nodded unexpectedly and walked out of the school with his hands in his pockets. Ichinose hesitated for a moment before walking to him.

The two of them remained silent, and the atmosphere was inevitably a bit awkward.

Ichinose's pretty face was complicated and she didn't know how to speak, but it felt like Hikigaya didn't seem to care. Fortunately, she also remained silent.

In less than a moment, the two came to the back of the teaching building.

If the two of them wandered around Keyaki Shopping Center, I'm afraid it would cause unnecessary trouble for Ichinose.

Therefore, only the closest distance was selected.

Hikigaya stopped, took out a rather delicate gift box from his school bag, and handed it to Ichinose.

As apology.

This is a gift I picked up at a convenience store last night.

Not too expensive.

It's just a pen worth two thousand yuan.

It can be regarded as a little affection, and his relationship with Ichinose is nothing more than that.

"This is?"

Ichinose was a little confused.

"Well, how should I put it?"

Hikigaya thought carefully about his words and said: "It's an apology. I'm sorry. I said some outrageous things to you the day before yesterday, but what can I say? You don't need to worry about me specifically. This way, everything is settled. How about that?"

While he may have indeed hurt Ichinose, he really doesn't need the other person's sympathy so that both of them can get back on track.

"..."

Ichinose stared at the gift box in front of him for a long time and did not move. Hikigaya was a little helpless because the broken vase could not be restored.

"Sorry, I can't accept this gift."

Ichinose shook his head slightly.

"Really."

Hikigaya lowered his arms and didn't pay much attention.

Anyway, he has done everything he should do, and it is up to the other party whether he accepts it or not.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Ichinose continue:

"I have been thinking about what you said the day before these two days, and I feel more and more that your words are correct. Perhaps a certain part of my center does want to integrate Hikigaya-san into the class out of sympathy."

"I used a less than thoughtful method and hurt Hikigaya's self-esteem. Therefore, I should be the one who should apologize."

No.

No.

My self-esteem is not so fragile.

Oh really.

"That's not the case."

Hikigaya's eyes were a little dodgey and he said: "Even so, your intention was definitely not malicious. I also said some words that hurt you. I should be the one who should apologize."

"But it's true that what I did hurt Hikigaya-san."

Ichinose shook his head slowly and rummaged for something in his school bag.

"No...no."

Hikigaya was a little speechless. He also had his own insistence, and why didn't this guy listen? So he defended:

"My heart is not that weak, and I am not hurt at all. Compared with junior high school, these are not even small things, so Ichinose-san does not need to apologize."

"indeed."

Ichinose didn't know his past, so he took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to him:

"I don't know Hikigaya-san's past. Maybe this is just a trivial matter to you, but I think it's true that I hurt Hikigaya-san. Isn't that why Hikigaya-san wants to apologize to me?"

"So, can you accept this gift? Otherwise I may not be able to forgive myself."

Ichinose held the exquisite gift box in both hands and handed it to Hikigaya.

Her words made Hikigaya freeze in place.

indeed so.

Both of them felt that they had hurt each other.

Just thought of apologizing.

only.

If you don't accept this gift.

Ichinose will not forgive herself, but he will not take it to heart.

After all, the relationship between the two only ends there. As for whether it can go further, Hikigaya doesn't really care.

However.

Different from false gentleness.

Ichinose is a truly gentle girl.

More than just kindness.

She is still a good girl who dares to face herself and faces everything with strength.

Judging from this gift.

Even if he didn't speak today, Ichinose would find an opportunity to apologize to him.

for a while.

Hikigaya was slightly dazed. After a while, she took the gift box in her hand with her left hand and nodded:

"All right."

"..."

Ichinose regained her spring-like smile again, and gently took the gift box that belonged to her from his right hand.

"This way we'll be settled!"

"Well, oh."

Hikigaya was still a little stunned.

He accepted Ichinose's apology, and Ichinose accepted his apology.

It's indeed a clean slate.

It's not like he didn't encounter gentle people when he was in junior high school. Occasionally, someone would greet him because of his gentleness.

However.

He is very clear.

Ichinose's gentleness was different from theirs.

"so."

Ichinose showed a bright smile and said: "Hikigaya-kun, starting from today, can we be friends?"

"Well, if you don't mind."

Hikigaya said a little embarrassed.

"That's really great."

Ichinose smiled and nodded: "Thank you for the gift, but I'm sorry, I have an appointment with Qianxun and the others today and will go back first~"

Said.

Ichinose jogged and turned away, leaving Hikigaya standing alone.

There is no deliberate care, but this way makes Hikigaya feel more comfortable.

Go back to dorms.

Hikigaya sat on the bed and opened the gift box given by Ichinose.

Inside is a smiley-face-shaped pendant, which should be a decoration hanging on a school bag. There is a fan card next to it saying that smiling more will make you happier.

‘Who would bring such a thing? It would be too shameful. ’

Hikigaya's face turned red and she was speechless.

He couldn't tie such an embarrassing thing to his school bag.

but.

Since it is someone else’s wish.

It seemed like it was the first time in his life that he had received a gift from someone else.

It’s better to keep it well.
