Hikigaya's Route to Senior High Is Not Normal, As I Expected

"If you're going to be an entrepreneur... It's not all textbook. It's gut feeling, its intuition, it's a feeling you have that you can do this and make I happen. I think you have to have a personality." - Wayne Heizenga

Hachiman's POV

...

Once Hachiman had finished his shift, he decided he needed to speak to Sae, considering her behaviour.

Perhaps he was being a bit petty, but considering everything and the circumstances that were involved, Hachiman knew that something was up.

He needed to get to the bottom of this with why Sae was giving him unwarranted attention. They often said that the eyes were the gateway to know the true person.

But for Hachiman, the eyes were the primary decipher of what made human though and emotion unique.

Sort of like the hidden determinant as to what may hold the true intentions of an individual. For Hachiman, the eyes were a source of scorn. His fish eyes made it incredibly difficult for people to see him as respectable in appearance.

It was funny, despite him having a respectable body overall, as soon as his eyes were shown, he was bumped down, a wasted potential in the eyes of many and almost everyone.

Those who didn't see a problem usually were few and vary between.

Regardless, Hachiman learned that the eyes were the source of true emotions. If somebody saw something disgusting, the eyes would be the thing preceding a comment.

If humans can think and rationalize what they say, then their eyes were the irrationality.

Hachiman had learned that in numerous ways. Whether during sparing with Aoki, when he had to learn to anticipate movements coming towards him, one of his special skills he had held close to him, for Hachiman, eyes were the thing that preceded impulse of the human mind.

And as Hachiman ended up heading to the office where Sae and Chie were likely. For some reason, it was the place Hachiman would always find the two teachers. As for their overall personalities, Hachiman could see a lot of similarities between Chie and Sae, and his former homeroom teacher, Hiratsuka.

Hachiman continued on as he felt the temperature get a bit colder when he approached the office.

"Of course these two have to remind me of my former homeroom teacher, who was a single middle aged and hot woman..." Hachiman sighed, wondering how the romcons had gotten himself in such a situation.

Alas, he was focused on a couple of things.

For one, Sae had given him the same look as she gave to another student in their class: Kiyotaka Ayanokouji.

Although Hachiman had never spoken to Kiyotaka, he had technically had a one-side remark from Suzune, pretty much Kiyotaka's female dog, but Hachiman had pretty much ignored her, not really seeing the point in arguing with someone he's never met nor spoken to before.

He much preferred her brother over her.

Regardless, as for Kiyotaka, Hachiman didn't really see anything in him. He seemed disinterested at a first glance.

However, what Hachiman had originally thought was disinterest, was actually nothing.

It was a deficit of anything.

The face Kiyotaka was showing was complete nothingness. And that terrified Hachiman.

Even with all his apathy, Hachiman only showed a face of disinterest most of the time, he showed emotions. As much as a monster of logic he was, he was still human.
