For example, Katsuragi can recognize it. The three seniors brought by Kikyou Kushida are students of Class 3-C and Class 3-D.
"Why are there so many people-"
"Also."
"Are the votes really for sale this time?"
The seniors brought by Kikyou Kushida probably didn't expect to be surrounded by a dozen first-year students as soon as they entered the private room, so they were a little nervous.
But after all, they are students of Class C and Class D, and they are also living a hard life now, so they cannot hide their words.
Yes.
They were tricked here by Kushida arranged by classmate Oreki.
The excuse is that some people want to spend money to buy their votes.
And it is done directly in cash.
Everyone uses the points on Student ID Card for consumption.
Shopping District also launched the anonymous Private Points Card.
These are all convenient for students to make profits through various channels.
However, if you get cash directly, it is not only more convenient, but also safer.
Because if you collect points, the school will also observe your source and destination.
But if you put cash directly in your belongings or pocket, it is extremely practical.
A long time ago, classmate Oreki deliberately arranged for Kushida to make friends with the senior students of Class 3-D.
After one year of campus life, Kikyou Kushida's social network has also expanded, so he can also talk to Class 3-C's seniors.
And now, Kikyou Kushida has been commissioned to be used by third-grade seniors.
There is only a little more than a month until the third graders graduate, so this period of maintained communication will become useless as the senior students leave school.
But they can also be given their final use value - voting.
"Then have the seniors brought the tickets?" Oreki said.
"..." A senior sister said, "You mean to choose the green ball of first grade Arisu Sakayanagi."
The electoral vote is two balls.
One red and one green.
The red color represents Class 2-B and Kiriyama.
The green one represents Class 1-A and Arisu Sakayanagi.
And the reason why the seniors and seniors came so late was because they had to go to the class teacher to get the votes.
"I was told that the red ball is for second grader Kiriyama, and the green ball is for first grader Arisu Sakayanagi." Another senior took the two balls out of her pocket.
The sphere is about the same size as a billiard ball and is hollow inside, so it is very light to hold.
"That's right," said classmate Oreki. "I won't cover it up either. That would be a waste of time."
"Classmate Sakayanagi is a student in my class, so I am canvassing votes for her as her representative."
"And seniors and seniors, we will not let you vote in vain."
"And now--"
Classmate Oreki looked at classmate Hashimoto.
"?"
Hashimoto probably didn't respond.
"Open the box." Student Oreki said.
"Eh? Okay!"
Hashimoto suddenly reacted and quickly walked to the table where the suitcase was placed just now.
His mind was processing the current situation quickly.
Classmate Oreki has gathered everyone here to canvass votes for Sakayanagi's little princess.
For the third graders, the price seemed to be directly quoted.
In this school, points can be used for consumption.
But...Oreki classmate was late to bring these two suitcases, so what did he do during this time.
Could it be that... the contents of these two suitcases are--
Hashimoto's hands rested on the buttons of the suitcase.
There was a clicking sound, and the box opened. In an instant, everyone was so focused that they couldn't take their eyes away.
Because.
The box was opened, and a large number of banknotes packed tightly inside almost seemed to pop out.
It's actually money!
And they are all Fukuzawa Yukichi.
It's a 10,000 banknote.
"I prepared 20 million in cash first," said classmate Oreki. "And I think everyone is familiar with the value of 20 million."
Of course it's very familiar.
20 million points can exempt you from the penalty of dropping out of school once, and you can also go directly to the class you want.
In other words, this is the ticket to Class A.
Before, everyone had only heard of points, but like Ryuuen, Hiyori and others, millions of points have been transferred to Student ID Card on their mobile phones.
But obviously, I have never seen such a large amount of points turn into cash.
You are so rich, classmate Oreki.
This was the sentiment of almost all the students present.
And classmate Hiyori confirmed that if there were 20 million points, she would choose cash instead of using 20 million to exchange for the opportunity to be promoted to Class A.
After all.
20 million is such a big box.
"You are openly canvassing for votes." Senior Class 3-C suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid of me recording this kind of thing?"
"Then are you sure you want to record and become the sinner of the entire class?" Oreki said. "You know, this is an opportunity for graduates Class 3-C and Class D to get a lot of money for nothing."
"..."
These words made the senior's mouth open and he was speechless.
Because he knows that what junior Oreki said is right.
Students Class C and Class D have a very miserable life and can hardly get any points from the school.
The cost of living is also very tight.
Every Class C or Class D student has eaten Wild Vegetable Set Meal for a long time.
Live a life of blushing to get free daily necessities.
At the same time, they are about to graduate. As long as they are not students of Class A, they will be arranged by the school to graduate under the name of another high school.
It seems like nothing is gained.
Coming to this school is all about hardship.
But.
Now if you sell your voting rights, you can get real cash directly.
It can be regarded as a little compensation for myself.
So.
Through their contact, classmates Class 3-C and Class 3-D were called here.
Just vote for Yanagi with the voting ball you got from the class teacher. After Class 1-A's classmates confirm their vote, you can go to classmate Oreki and receive 100,000 in cash.
This is cash, which is not commonly used in school.
But they are all about to graduate, and they can really spend money after graduation.
And 100,000 is not a huge amount of money, but it is not a small amount either.
The seniors of Class 3-C and Class 3-D are still very aware of current affairs.
"Then-"
"I specifically called you here for another reason-"
When classmate Oreki called his name, the handsome man Rokosuke Kōenji, who had been looking quietly at the mirror, stood up.
"I recommend a big guy to you." said classmate Oreki. "He is the only son of Rokosuke Kōenji and Kōenji Conglomerate. For some reasons, he needs to get a lot of points."
"He can buy the remaining points in your hands at a higher price than the school." said classmate Oreki.
And everyone finally understood and thought that Kōenji came as the representative of Class D.
As a result... I came to fly solo for myself.
Because I have gone through school examinations, plus three years of various withdrawal penalties.
There are not many seniors in Class 3-C and Class 3-D.
Class 3-C 29 people.
Class 3-D 31 people.
And only a total of 6 million was paid in cash.
Forty minutes have passed since we confirmed one by one that they had voted and then settled the cash to them.
Classmate Oreki sat aside, and classmates Katsuragi and Hashimoto were responsible for confirming the information and making the payment with cash points.
The work is not difficult.
And just now, the last student of Class 3-C completed the redemption.
"So do we need to gather the students in our class now?"
At this time, students Class D and Hirata paid attention to the atmosphere and said.
He watched quietly for a while and understood.
Oreki classmate simply needs money to buy tickets.
And every student has the right to vote.
There are also classmates of Class 1-D.
Oreki classmate is very generous. One voting right can get 100,000 in cash. This kind of news is good news to the students in the class.
Hirata has been saved from despair by Ayanokoji.
So he returned to his usual good nature Hirata.
What I consider is the relationship with my classmates, and then there is the protection of Ayanokoji.
Now it is the election of Student Council President, which has nothing to do with Ayanokoji, so Hirata is considering the interests of the students in the class.
"You called us over and put us aside for this purpose." Ryuuen also said, "You have prepared so much cash."
"The students in my class have no other advantages except being good at fighting and being obedient."
"Give me the money directly and I will send them a message." Ryuuen said. "Let them vote."
This is the advantage of the Ryuuen Class class. After being dominated, the students in the class will obey orders.
In terms of efficiency, it may be the highest among the four ABCD classes.
"Vote for Classmate Sakayanagi--"
