Again, Tsubasa with short hair and no glasses is pretty magnificent.

To be honest, Hanekawa told me this once.

During the events of Golden Week.

“Araragi-kun. You might be able to be a star, but you’re unable to be a hero.”

It was difficult to hear.

But her words were true.

Hanekawa’s words were always true.

I’m not an ally of justice.

I’m not an ally of humanity or ally of monsters either.

I’m their ally.

I’m just a regular older brother.

“Here, you can redeem this ticket anytime to touch my breasts,” [Hanekawa] said.

“…! Really!?”

My hand that held this piece of paper… no, the most valuable ticket on Earth began to tremble.

“Yes, really. But if you use it, I’ll hate you forever.”

“Then it’s useless!”

I ripped it up.

Ahahaha, Tsubasa laughed drily.

Arg, I got made a fool of.

She would never have made this kind of joke before.

She’s really changed.

To be specific, she changed for the better.

“But Araragi-san, what kind of work do you plan on doing when you grow up?”

“Fortunately, I haven’t thought that far ahead…”

“That’s what makes you like a child.”

“…”

Hm, maybe this might work.

“I wonder if I could get a job holding up Hanekawa’s breasts so that they don’t fall?”

“What are you saying with a straight face, Araragi-kun?”

“Of course, someone had to go and invent the bra… I don’t know how much money that guy made off that, but thanks to him, I’m out of a job!”

If I don’t get to see you anymore, there’s no point in becoming human again!

“I’ll definitely return the favor. When you need something, Hanekawa, even if I’m unable to help, I’ll definitely be by your side - my goal in life from this moment on is to return my favor to you.”

“It’s fine, so just please give me back my panties.”

It doesn’t seem to matter how cool I try to sound. Darn, words aren’t going to work.

Hanekawa said:

“I’m going to be going home now with no panties on and wearing such a revealing skirt…, Araragi, compared to that, fighting Guillotine-Cutter should be a breeze, right?”

“I guess there’s no longer anything I can do for you”

“No, there’s still something you can do for me”

I calmly look into Hanekawa’s face for a moment before I speak.

Looking directly into her eyes, I tell her:

“You can wait for me.”

Mayoi was right. Koyomi went with the wrong girl.
