Sakayanagi's Condition Is to Hold Hands.

"That's good."

"Yes, President Nagumo, please continue with your work. I have other matters to attend to."

"Good."

As he left Miyabi Nagumo's table, Hashiba Hikaru knew that the other person was still watching his back, so he deliberately walked behind Sakayanagi Arisu and spoke softly.

"Classmate Sakayanagi, are you free right now?"

"What's wrong?"

The silver-haired girl tilted her head, looking at the other person's smiling face. She guessed that the other person must have some plan in mind, and she was very curious.

"You go first, I'll follow behind. Take me to the printer, and don't say anything unnecessary."

Hashiba Hikaru gave detailed instructions, explaining every single detail.

"Can."

Sakayanagi Arisu very cooperative and immediately led the boy toward the printer according to Hashiba Hikaru's instructions. Because they were one in front and one behind, they were immediately noticed by Miyabi Nagumo, who was sitting there.

"... Um?"

As Miyabi Nagumo, who was holding a pen to write something, noticed the silver-haired girl leading Hashiba Hikaru to the printer, his expression suddenly darkened. He knew very well about the access permissions; besides Hashiba Hikaru, the Vice President, he was the only other person with that right.

Recalling the abilities that Hashiba Hikaru had demonstrated, Miyabi Nagumo knew that the other party would likely be able to find out who posted the message very soon.

Although he didn't do it himself, if this matter continues to escalate, it could potentially exceed his original plans.

"However... finding the real culprit isn't that simple."

Miyabi Nagumo smiled coldly. Of course, he had made contingency plans; otherwise, it would have been too easy.

"Huh?"

Hashiba Hikaru, standing in front of the printer, opened the backend of the computer connected to the printer. However, to his surprise, the details and records of previously printed documents had disappeared, and he could only see the contents of last month.

"Why were my records deleted?"

"It seems it's been dealt with. But that makes sense. If no preparations were made at all, Nagumo would be utterly useless."

Sakayanagi Arisu's voice was low, but upon realizing this, she smiled instead.

"Does Classmate Sakayanagi have another way?"

Hashiba Hikaru, then asked, "Do you know any really skilled computer experts?"

"No, I have another way to find the specific printing records."

A mischievous glint flashed in Sakayanagi Arisu's beautiful purple eyes. Although she wasn't in charge of the Student Council, she had many connections.

"What method?"

Hashiba Hikaru had already realized what was happening. Gazing at the girl's beautiful face, which resembled that of a forest elf, a slow smile appeared on his lips. "Could you please help me?"

"Hmm... that's possible, but it's not in our cooperation agreement. What do you think, Classmate Hashiba?"

This was Sakayanagi Arisu's true thought. She stared with great interest at Hashiba Hikaru's helpless expression, finding it quite amusing.

"Even without this evidence, clarifying the situation is fine."

The boy said in a low voice.

"But if we can't attack Nagumo, wouldn't we be missing a great opportunity?"

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled knowingly. In a sense, she felt she understood Hashiba Hikaru very well, even better than his girlfriend.

"... Yes, that's right."

Hashiba Hikaru touched his hair. He looked at the girl's face. Although asking the Computer Club members for help was an option, it would be too slow. The boy was very concerned about time.

Two days have passed since the incident occurred; tomorrow is the best opportunity to clarify things.

"Then I'll have to name my terms, Classmate Hashiba."

"If I could do it."

"It's actually very simple."

A gentle light shone in Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes; if she could, she wished she were the one standing beside him.

Let's tame him slowly.

The girl was very confident about this.

527

Chapter 527 Sakayanagi's condition was to hold hands.

In the Activity Classroom that Sakayanagi Arisu applied for, Kamuro Masumi took out the coffee she had just bought that day. She was preparing two steaming hot drinks. The girl tilted her head slightly and glanced at the two people sitting opposite her with some concern.

I don't know why, but I felt like there was something off about the atmosphere between them today.

"The coffee is here."

After placing the two cups of coffee on the table, Kamuro Masumi stepped behind Sakayanagi Arisu, her face devoid of any extra emotion.

"Thank you, Kamuro."

After stirring her coffee a couple of times with a spoon, Hashiba Hikaru added a piece of sugar.

"Classmate Hashiba, isn't too much sugar bad for your health?"

Sakayanagi Arisu smiled and spoke.

"But I'm not in a good mood today, so eating sugar might cheer me up."

The boy shook his head, unmoved.

"Why?"

"Perhaps it's because they need something from him,"

Hashiba Hikaru watched as the sugar cubes gradually dissolved in her coffee. "Don't you think so, Classmate Sakayanagi?"

"That's true. Generally speaking, people are unwilling to relinquish control to others, so it's understandable that they might feel unhappy about it."

Sakayanagi Arisu didn't care what the boy said at all, because she knew he was just saying it casually.

"Yes, in that case, please get to the point Classmate Sakayanagi."

Hashiba Hikaru took a sip of her coffee, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Can."

After thinking for a moment and remaining silent, Sakayanagi Arisu offered her idea.

"Does Classmate Hashiba remember our three requests from before?"

"Remember."

Hashiba Hikaru nodded slightly.

"The requirements this time are similar to those before. Since we have close cooperation in other areas, I think we can definitely take it a step further."

An elegant smile remained on the silver-haired girl's delicate face. "What do you think, Classmate Hashiba?"

"Please point Classmate Sakayanagi in the direction of how to take this further."

"I once read an article in a book that said when people interact, they can sense each other's emotions, such as anxiety, trust, or tension, through skin contact."

"Given the importance of our collaboration, it's essential to ensure mutual trust throughout the process."

"So?"

Hashiba Hikaru was slightly taken aback. He didn't understand what this Classmate Sakayanagi was planning to do; he just wanted to quickly use the other party's permissions to get the print record.

"My request is... that every time we meet, Classmate Hashiba shake my hand. If the situation doesn't allow it, just write it down and we can make up for it later, okay?"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Hashiba Hikaru slowly typed a question mark, looking at Sakayanagi Arisu's calm face with a face full of doubt.

What is this girl thinking?

The silver-haired girl immediately understood the surprise in Hashiba Hikaru's eyes, but her tone remained calm. "If you didn't understand, would Classmate Hashiba like me to repeat it?"

"No, it's not that I didn't understand."

The boy slowly waved his hand. He understood what the other person meant, but he still had many questions.

"Why does Classmate Hashiba look so confused? Shaking hands isn't a complicated thing; it's easy to do."

Sakayanagi Arisu took a small sip of her coffee, a smile appearing on her lips.

"I see."

Hashiba Hikaru suddenly fell silent. He thought about the other party's stock price fluctuations. Sakayanagi Arisu's current stock price was 120, which indicated that the other party had developed new ideas.

Whether or not she liked the idea, it was enough to influence the silver-haired girl's attitude.

"What's Classmate Hashiba's decision?"

Seeing the boy's thoughtful expression, Sakayanagi Arisu spoke softly again. She wasn't urging him, but rather wanted to see what he would decide.

"I've decided... to agree to Classmate Sakayanagi's request. Just like you said, it's a very simple matter, and there's no unbearable cost for me."

Hashiba Hikaru looked up at the silver-haired girl's face and slowly nodded, saying, "I promise you."

"Good."

Upon hearing the boy's agreement, a satisfied smile finally appeared on Sakayanagi Arisu's pretty face. The girl believed that their relationship had made significant progress, and if she wanted to tame Hashiba Hikaru, she still had a lot to do.

"As agreed, for today's first time, please raise your hand, Classmate Hashiba."

The silver-haired girl gave the order in a calm tone, and Hashiba Hikaru didn't think much of it, simply raising her right hand with her palm facing upwards.

"Um."

Sakayanagi Arisu slowly reached out and placed her soft, boneless hand in Hashiba Hikaru's palm. The girl's heart trembled slightly upon touching the warmth of her skin.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Sakayanagi Arisu forced herself to calm down and placed her small hand on the other's palm. The silver-haired girl was first surprised by how large the boy's palm was, almost completely enveloping her small hand.

After a while, she turned Hashiba Hikaru's hand over, changed the position, and held it together again. Feeling the boy's warm fingers tracing across her palm, the silver-haired girl's breathing became a little rapid.

That's good.

"Can you let go now?"

Hashiba Hikaru didn't really care about handshakes anymore, since she wouldn't lose out anyway.

"Okay, that's fine."

Sakayanagi Arisu and Hashiba Hikaru's handshake lasted only about two minutes. After they let go, a faint blush seemed to appear on the girl's fair face, but it did not affect her mood when she spoke.

"Now that the agreement has been fulfilled, Classmate Sakayanagi, you can now hand over your authority to me, right?"

Hashiba Hikaru stated the most important matter of the day: no matter what, only by successfully obtaining that printed record could he launch his planned clarification operation tomorrow and, incidentally, launch an attack on Miyabi Nagumo.

"Okay, then please come with me Classmate Hashiba."

Sakayanagi Arisu nodded, then stood up.

Where are we going?

"Just follow me, Classmate Hashiba will find out soon."

The silver-haired girl picked up her cane, and this time she didn't ask Kamuro Masumi to follow her; she stood directly next to Hashiba Hikaru.

"Oh well."

The two walked out of the Activity Classroom side by side. Although the boy was puzzled, he still followed behind Sakayanagi Arisu. After walking for a few minutes, he seemed to realize something and asked.

"Are we headed to the Chairman's office?"

"Yes."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Hashiba Hikaru seemed to remember something and decided to test the other party.

"What is the relationship between Classmate Sakayanagi and the Chairman?"
