Chapter 67 Following the Trail

“Hachiman, help me out.”

After the first class, Asakura Yuu walked up to Hachiman Hikigaya.

“What’s up?”

He probably guessed why Asakura Yuu came over, and given Asakura’s tendency to be a busybody, he was likely going to help Yui Yuigahama with her problem.

However, the school forum issue wasn’t easy to resolve.

Hachiman Hikigaya had been thinking about how to handle it that morning to help Yui Yuigahama, as he still felt guilty about the last tennis match where his final shot had injured Yui.

“I sent you a message on Line. Send this content via email, and the target’s phone number is at the end of the article.”

“…” Hachiman Hikigaya was taken aback for a few seconds before reacting and looking up at Asakura Yuu.

What’s going on?

Do you already know the culprit’s phone number?

But after Hachiman opened his phone and took a look, he felt something was off.

‘A confession letter?’

And the emotions in the text were so sincere… what are you planning to do?

Are you actually going to confess to someone?

Hachiman glanced at the phone number at the end, which he didn’t recognize.

Of course, he wouldn’t know it; that would be weird.

‘The contacts on my phone, aside from guys, are just my sister and mom… how pathetic.’

After mocking himself internally, Hachiman Hikigaya said to Asakura Yuu:

“Although I don’t know what you’re planning, if I can help, I’d be happy to.”

Just sending an anonymous confession letter wouldn’t have any negative impact on him (Hibiki).

Hachiman thought his reputation among girls was already bad enough, and even if this small matter was exposed… but was there really a chance of that happening?

“Should I send it now?”

“Yeah, the sooner the better.”

Asakura Yuu said, looking at Yui, who was chatting with Yumiko.

He wasn’t sure what was going on behind Yui’s cheerful exterior, but he didn’t want this gentle girl to get hurt.

…………

After school.

Asakura Yuu didn’t go to the Service Club alone; instead, he planned to bring Yui Yuigahama along.

If possible, he wanted Yui to see and confront the person who was spreading rumors about her, hiding in the shadows.

This wasn’t about Asakura Yuu being a hero; it was the victim’s right.

Having her reputation damaged without even knowing who the culprit was… that was just too sad.

In the hallway.

Yui Yuigahama looked a bit awkward as she searched for a conversation topic: “Yuu-chan, the results of the monthly exam will be out tomorrow, right?”

“Usually, it’s released on the day after the exam, sent to our phones.”

The results and scores are only known to the students themselves and aren’t made public – perhaps this is one of the school’s ways of protecting its students?

However, for those who do well, excluding the ones who pretend to be weak, most of them can’t wait to let the whole school know about their academic talents.

Getting good grades isn’t embarrassing, especially in a school like Soubu High School that focuses on getting students into good universities.

“…Hmm.”

After saying that, they fell into a brief silence.

Asakura Yuu was thinking about how to solve the problem, while Yui Yuigahama couldn’t find a topic to talk about – the thing she’s usually good at wasn’t working, and her thoughts were all jumbled…

She was afraid that because of the rumors, the atmosphere in the Service Club would become awkward.

Yui Yuigahama, who is sensitive to the feelings of others, didn’t want to hurt anyone, even if it meant hurting herself.

“…Do you think you can win this time, Yuu-chan?” she asked, continuing the conversation from earlier.

“I’m not confident, to be honest – the reason I switched to the humanities course wasn’t to win the bet.”

Asakura Yuu didn’t care about winning or losing anymore; if he had to weigh his male pride and Yui on a scale, which side would fall first – wasn’t that obvious?

“I know, it’s to help Saki, right? Her science grades are top ten in our year, and if you switch to humanities, she can move up a rank.”

“After all, the monthly exam results are also related to the scholarship evaluation – I’m doing this to increase her chances of getting it, but… SakiSaki? When did you guys start calling her that?”

It’s kind of cute.

“Hina started it, and it just kind of stuck.”

Is this some kind of viral trend?

As they chatted, they walked past a vending machine in the Rest Area, and Yui Yuigahama stopped in her tracks.

“Yuu-chan, I’m a bit thirsty – I want to buy a drink.”

“Do you want me to wait for you?”

“…No need, Yuu-chan – you can go ahead.” Yui shook her head slightly.

She wasn’t actually thirsty; she just wanted some time to calm down, afraid of bringing a weird atmosphere into the Service Club.

Just a few minutes would be enough.

Asakura Yuu nodded and didn’t say anything else – the Service Club wasn’t far from there anyway.

He probably guessed why Yui didn’t dare to go to the Service Club, because the last time the underwear theft case happened, Yukino explicitly stated that if Yui was bullied one day, she should speak out on the spot and not remain silent.

But unfortunately, Yui didn’t do so.

The question is, if Yui goes to the Service Club now, will she be lectured by Yukino?

This is inevitable, Yukino Yukinoshita upholds what is right, cares about her friends, and Yui has broken their agreement, so Yukino will definitely be angry, but she won’t vent her anger on her friends, because she understands that Yui is not at fault in this matter.

…………

He pushed open the door to the Service Club.

Yukinoshita-san, sitting by the window, had an even colder expression than usual!

She put down her phone, took a deep breath, and saw Asakura Yuu entering from the doorway…

“I shouldn’t have gone looking for trouble,” she sighed.

Although she knew that the anonymous forum was full of malicious comments, Yukino still couldn’t help but look and refute them.

“Posting more comments won’t do any good; as long as the culprit doesn’t delete the post, this won’t end,” Asakura Yuu said, noticing that Yukino’s energy was low, probably because she had spent a lot of time last night helping Yui clarify things.

But it was no use.

One person’s power is useless against so much malice; it’s like trying to make waves without any water.

“Has the culprit taken the bait?” Yukino had to admire Asakura Yuu once again.

In a situation where she had no leads, he was able to get the culprit’s phone number in just one night.

It was clear that he hadn’t used any official channels, but that didn’t matter!

Yukino realized that, compared to what’s right or wrong, friends are what matter most, or rather, when someone you care about gets hurt, do you still consider whether the method is correct?

Ha!

Does such a person really exist?

…It seems that there really is one, that man in school who Yukino dislikes the most, whose methods make her feel nauseous.

“It’s not confirmed yet, but the chances are high that they’ve taken the bait.”
