I Just Wanted to Help, But the Girls Wants to Like Me?! Chapter 115: Hikigaya, You Wouldn't Want Komachi To

As it turned out, Hiratsuka Shizuka's blind date plans were not going well.

Not long after parting ways at the Chiba Zoo that day, Mori Shinra ran into her again at the mass-market KTV Yuigahama had picked out.

Unsurprisingly, she was still alone.

"Ms. Hiratsuka Shizuka?"

"Mori Shinra... it's you again... Are you alone?"

"No, Hikigaya, Yuigahama, and the others are here too."

Mori Shinra shook his head, then noticed the drink in her hand and asked, "And you, Sensei?"

"My throat got a little dry from singing, so I ca out to get a drink."

"Alone?"

"Mhm... alone." (Her voice trembled)

"Well... Sensei, would you like to join us?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka just looked so pitiful, and since they had run into each other, plus she generally had a good relationship with everyone present, Mori Shinra took the initiative to invite her.

"I'm happy you invited , but I think I'll pass. I just want to vent so stress alone."

"Adults definitely need a space to be alone."

"You get it, don't you."

With that, Hiratsuka Shizuka patted Mori Shinra's shoulder, then, as if rembering sothing, she said to him, "Do you rember I ntioned organizing an excursion before?"

"I rember." Mori Shinra nodded.

Around the ti of the second-year's first regular exam, Hiratsuka Shizuka had ntioned organizing a club trip.

But later, sothing went wrong with the workplace visit, and she had to go clean up the ss.

Coupled with many other things she had to deal with, the plan was temporarily shelved.

Since she was ntioning it again now, she must have a plan.

"When you go back later, you can ntion it to Yuigahama and the others, so they can prepare. I'll confirm the specific date in the next few days," Hiratsuka Shizuka said.

"Does everyone have to go?"

"It's based on personal willingness. Oh, just leave Hikigaya to . If I drag Komachi along, I'm not afraid he won't co. Also, don't worry about the cost. This club trip is actually in the form of volunteering. Soone will help reimburse expenses like food and lodging." Hiratsuka Shizuka clenched her fist, seemingly ready to use force.

To deal with a stubborn mule like Hikigaya, you have to use an iron fist.

As for Mori Shinra, Hiratsuka Shizuka wasn't worried at all.

She knew very well that as long as Yukinoshita went, this kid would definitely go.

Speaking of which, when this kid told he 'wanted to join a club that helps people', could it be that he had his sights set on Yukinoshita even back then?

Hiss... a terrifying thought.

But on second thought, what was she worried about?

Hiratsuka Shizuka might not be able to find a boyfriend, but her judgnt of character was still quite sharp.

She knew Mori Shinra wasn't a bad kid.

If he and Yukinoshita really did get together, it could be considered a good thing.

Besides, if the two really weren't suitable, there were others who were more anxious than she was.

As far as Hiratsuka Shizuka knew, Yukino's older sister, Haruno, already knew about Mori Shinra's existence.

She had even helped with this upcoming Service Club trip.

Since the other party was happy to play matchmaker, there was nothing more for her to say.

Mori Shinra returned to the private room, placed the tray full of glasses down, and began to tell everyone about the club activity.

"Is it possible not to go?" Hikigaya, as expected, asked this question.

For him, the goal for this sumr vacation was to avoid stepping outside his house as much as possible.

Sumr vacation, sumr vacation... the reason for the vacation is because it's too hot.

To run out at this ti of year for a club activity that only normies would do... Hikigaya was ten thousand percent against it.

"In principle, it's voluntary. But for you, Hikigaya... Ms. Hiratsuka said she would co and 'invite' you personally."

If it's 'yes' in principle, that ans no. If it's 'no' in principle, that ans yes.

Hikigaya understood this kind of rhetoric better than anyone.

It was just like in a job interview when you ask HR if the company forces overti.

The answer will definitely be "overti is voluntary."

You just have to know how to read between the lines.

It was clearly the sa logic here.

An image even appeared in Hikigaya's mind—Hiratsuka Shizuka, taking a drag from a cigarette, exhaling a puff of smoke, and saying to him with a clenched fist: "I don't rember who goes, but I will definitely rember who doesn't."

Oh god!

"You don't need to worry about the cost. Sensei said we are going as volunteers for an elentary school's sumr camp. Food and lodging are covered, and the work isn't hard. It's just helping to look after the elentary schoolers. The rest of the ti is basically free, and we can camp for free." Mori Shinra laid out all the information he had.

"And participating in this kind of activity can add points for university applications in the future."

Hearing this, Kawasaki Saki, who had been part of the background, put down her phone.

This was worth sitting up for.

"Free camping!" Yuigahama's eyes lit up.

"Also, this activity isn't limited to just our club, which ans if Saika-san wants to co, he can also co. Just go and sign up with Ms. Hiratsuka," Mori Shinra said, looking at Saika.

"Really?" Saika thought this was a special perk for the Service Club.

He didn't expect he could participate too.

"Yukino-chan, are you going?" Yuigahama asked.

"As the president of the Service Club, I see no reason not to go," Yukinoshita Yukino replied.

Seeing as she didn't look surprised, she must have known about this for a while.

That makes sense. As the Service Club's advisor, if Hiratsuka Shizuka had any activities planned, Yukinoshita would be the first to be inford.

"Komachi-chan can co too," Mori Shinra said to Komachi.

Hikigaya Komachi hadn't expected to be included.

She pointed at herself and said, "I can go too?"

"Of course. Since it's a volunteer activity, the more the rrier."

"Sounds like a shady company recruiting cheap labor," Hikigaya said in a grave tone, as if warning his sister not to fall for the sweet talk.

"I'm going, Komachi is going!" Komachi completely ignored her brother's warning.

Sweet talk or not, why pass up free camping?

Besides, with her idiot brother's personality, if she didn't go, he would most likely find all sorts of excuses to bail. That won't do.

Her brother's 'loner' disease finally has a chance to be cured. How can she not strike while the iron is hot?

If he really stays at ho for the entire sumr, he'll rot!

"OK. I'll let Ms. Hiratsuka know. Also, rember to bring your brother with you that day," Mori Shinra said, giving an OK sign and not forgetting to add a reminder.

"Mission accepted!" Komachi gave Mori Shinra a military salute.

"Is no one going to ask for my opinion?" Hikigaya was still trying to struggle.

Mori Shinra thought for a mont, then motioned for him to lean in.

With just one sentence, Hikigaya imdiately changed his attitude.

"If you don't co, I'll drag Kawasaki Taishi along instead."
