Acting Together with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka / Undercurrents Continue to Swirl, Hashima Hikaru's Plan
When Hashiba Hikaru opened his eyes, he was immediately overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of exhaustion. He rubbed his chest, feeling a weariness that wasn't just physical exhaustion, but a mental fatigue that permeated his entire being.
"Hikaru? When are you planning to get up?"
Ichinose Honami's sleep, had already woken up. After being pampered by her boyfriend, her face was radiant, and her features were exquisite, as beautiful as a flower bud blooming in the morning.
"I was too tired yesterday, I want to sleep in today."
Hashiba Hikaru lay motionless on his pillow. He glanced at his phone; it was only seven in the morning.
"I was the one doing all the moving yesterday..."
Seeing his tired appearance, the pink-haired girl asked with a smile, "Could it be that you've used up too much energy... and you're feeling a bit weak now?"
"I'm just a little mentally exhausted; I've been thinking about too many things these past few days."
Hashiba Hikaru quickly waved her hand, saying that a man should never admit to being physically weak.
"Hehehe, then I'll go prepare breakfast for Hikaru. Let me take care of you today~"
Ichinose Honami leaned over and kissed him gently.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to Honami."
Chapter 790 Acting Together with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka
Because of the cooperation agreement reached with Koenji Morito, Hashiba Hikaru had to share this information with her team members as soon as possible.
After getting up at noon, he sent text messages to the two of them.
Ichinose Honami had already been comforted yesterday, so she didn't ask any questions today. Anyway, Hashiba Hikaru would still be spending the night with her, so she smiled and saw her boyfriend out of the dormitory, just like a virtuous and gentle wife.
"Hikaru, Ando -kun is organizing a class activity in a few days, don't forget to come!"
The girl helped Hashiba Hikaru straighten her collar, her smile gentle.
"Yes, I won't forget."
Hashiba Hikaru nodded. Class A always holds various class activities, and everyone is very satisfied with the current situation. Celebrating youth is the most correct way to live a school life.
After leaving the dormitory, Hashiba Hikaru Sakayanagi Arisu, and Ayanokoji Kiyotaka met at a relatively secluded private room.
This place has almost become their regular meeting spot; even the boss knows them quite well.
Pushing open the door, the boy immediately saw Ayanokoji Kiyotaka sitting in the room, while Sakayanagi Arisu was still on her way.
Good morning, Ayanokoji.
Good morning, Classmate Hashiba.
The indifferent-looking boy greeted him. Even after knowing each other for so long, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's attitude remained the same—neither cold nor warm.
"Classmate Sakayanagi is already on her way, we just need to wait a little longer."
Hashiba Hikaru pulled out a chair and sat down. The three of them weren't there to eat, so the boy didn't rush to order anything. Instead, he chatted with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka.
"I gained quite a lot from this trip away from school, and there are many things I still need Ayanokoji to help me with."
The boy glanced at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka sitting opposite him, his tone gentle.
"Has Classmate Hashiba and the head of the Koenji Family reached a cooperation agreement?"
Although Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was sent to the "White Room" from a young age, he was quite knowledgeable about society and even understood the deeper meanings of many interpersonal relationships.
"I suppose so, but I need to do something more important to determine the final outcome."
Hashiba Hikaru nodded, then suddenly uttered a phrase that caused Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's expression to change slightly. "I plan to go to the [White Room]."
"Why?"
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's previously indifferent expression vanished, his eyes sharpening. "What happened?"
"Hehe, because our current bargaining chips are still too small to sway the Koenji Family."
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a petite girl with short silver hair walked into the private room, a very elegant smile on her lips.
"Good morning, Classmate Hashiba Ayanokoji- san."
Good morning.
After exchanging pleasantries, Sakayanagi Arisu sat down next to Hashiba Hikaru, as was her habit. She hadn't seen his face all day, and she missed him terribly.
"Now that Classmate Sakayanagi is here, I'll start from the beginning."
Hashiba Hikaru explained her collaboration with Koenji Morito, which immediately surprised her two companions.
"Infiltrate the [White Room]? Isn't that a bit too dangerous?"
Sakayanagi Arisu didn't want her lover to take such a risk. After all, she had been to the White Room when she was a child, and its security force came from a collaboration between conglomerates and politicians, and they all had "real weapons."
"The key is infiltration, not armed conflict, so it shouldn't be too dangerous."
Hashiba Hikaru shook his head; he was quite confident about that.
After all, the [White Room] designed by Ayanokoji Atsuomi is a secret organization. In this crucial election period, the man's goal is to go all out for the [Cabinet Minister] position, so he naturally hopes that the [White Room]'s presence will be as low as possible and he doesn't want it to really become a big deal.
"Our goal is to successfully infiltrate the area, obtain the most crucial evidence while causing minimal disturbance, and then leave the rest to us."
After Hashiba Hikaru recounted his conversation with Koenji Morito, the other two understood the Koenji Family's intentions.
They would only launch a full-scale attack if they offered a reward that would truly tempt the Koenji Family; this was a very prudent choice for a long-established zaibatsu.
"But the Koenji Family probably didn't provide you with any more detailed information, did they?"
Sakayanagi Arisu frowned slightly, quickly realizing the core issue of the mission.
"Yes, although the Koenji Family did investigate, they didn't obtain a detailed map or a distribution map of the people."
Hashiba Hikaru was not stumped by the question. She raised her hand and spoke to Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, who was sitting next to her.
"Although the Koenji Family doesn't have more detailed information, I think that since Ayanokoji left from there, he should have a lot of information, right?"
"I remember some things, but I can't guarantee that the interior of the [White Room] won't have changed now that it's been restarted."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka naturally wouldn't hold back at this point. After hearing about the collaboration between Hashiba Hikaru and Koenji Morito, he instantly realized that this was an excellent opportunity.
Only if he can thwart that man's plans can he truly embrace freedom in the future.
"That's alright, don't we know the new students who just enrolled?"
Hashiba Hikaru smiled. He and Amasawa Ichika were still cooperating. As long as they organized the information from the two of them, they could piece together a more complete plan.
"Can."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Is Classmate Hashiba planning to go on the mission alone?"
"Hehe."
Upon hearing his question, Hashiba Hikaru immediately revealed a satisfied smile.
According to his initial assessment, when he presented his plan, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka would definitely have some ideas, since the other party really wanted to get rid of Ayanokoji Atsuomi's control.
If he could personally go along, with Ayanokoji Kiyotaka's abilities, he could guarantee that this mission would be completed more smoothly.
"It seems that Classmate Hashiba has already made up her mind."
Sakayanagi Arisu naturally understood the expression on her man's face, and the corners of her lips slightly curved up. "Ayanokoji goes along, we can guarantee the success rate of this mission."
"That's right."
Hashiba Hikaru snapped her fingers crisply, a very cheerful smile on her face.
"My original plan was for me to go with Ayanokoji. After all, he grew up there and must know a lot about places with [hidden scandals]."
"Am I right Ayanokoji?"
The young man, seeing his indifferent expression, extended his invitation.
"... I guess so."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka nodded silently. In his memory, the [White Room] was a place devoid of warmth, where countless people were eliminated.
Despite claiming to have a comprehensive training program, no one knows or cares where many of those who were eliminated ended up.
However, as the "Masterpiece," Ayanokoji Kiyotaka knew more than others.
After all, the memory of when he left was still vivid in her mind.
"Then let's act together, Ayanokoji."
"Yes, I understand."
Chapter 791 The Undercurrents Continue to Surge, Hashiba Hikaru's Plan.
Once this arrangement was finalized, the rest was much easier.
Hashiba Hikaru had thought it through clearly. Since Koenji Morito had given him a deadline of mid-May, he planned to spend a week finalizing his action plan and depart around the 10th.
"If we need to contact Amasawa -senpai, then we'll have to leave this to Classmate Hashiba."
Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly. She didn't have a good impression of this junior. Now that her relationship with Hashiba Hikaru had developed to this point, she only hoped that no more girls would appear around the boy.
"Okay, I plan to talk to her tomorrow."
Glancing at Ayanokoji Kiyotaka beside her, Hashiba Hikaru said directly, "As for Ayanokoji, you can start preparing today. For example, create an intelligence analysis based on what you know, and identify areas that require attention."
"We'll consolidate and summarize the information then, and we must make sure this arrangement is perfect."
"I see."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is actually very proactive, but he often seems slow because he doesn't intend to put in the effort. If he were to go all out, his execution ability would at least crush most Second Year students.
"Aside from this incident, there shouldn't be anything else noteworthy at the school, right?"
Hashiba Hikaru hasn't been actively paying attention to what's happening at school lately; he's been focusing his energy on other things.
"No, it's basically remained calm."
Sakayanagi Arisu knew that Hashiba Hikaru was asking him about the girl's increasingly diverse roles in the Student Council. This was the boy's way of training her execution skills so that she could become a better assistant to him in the future.
"That's good. As long as we can resolve this problem, many other issues will be easily solved."
If it weren't for the [White Room] and the threats from Ayanokoji Atsuomi, Hashiba Hikaru wouldn't have needed to do any of these things. Wouldn't it have been better to just enjoy school life?
But since a choice has already been made, it must be stuck to the end.
This was a promise the boy made to himself and the other girls. Tokyo Advanced Nurturing High School was a good school and a suitable stepping stone. He sincerely hoped that everyone could have a bright future.
"Yes, I believe that Classmate Hashiba can handle this. After all, everyone has seen how excellent you are."
Sakayanagi Arisu great confidence in her man. Although Hashiba Hikaru was not born into a zaibatsu, he still wields influence comparable to that of a zaibatsu, entirely due to his personal abilities, which is truly admirable.
"Praise me after you've finished the job. Hope everything goes smoothly, cheers!"
Wishing our plan a complete success!!!
"Cheers!"
The three of them raised their drinks and clinked them together, each with a serious expression on their face.
Since the formation of this three-person team, up to this moment today, a strange consensus has suddenly emerged among them.
[We're about to challenge the final boss. If we successfully complete this challenge, we can welcome a bright and glorious future together.]
That was the happy ending everyone was hoping for.
The 29th floor of the Koenji Family headquarters building.
Today, the Koenji Family welcomed a special guest: an elderly man with white hair and a middle-aged man in a suit. Led by a waiter, they quickly arrived at the door of Koenji Morito's office.
"Mr. Kujo, Mr. Ayanokoji, the head of the family is waiting for you two inside. Please come in."
When faced with people of higher status, the pretty office lady didn't make them knock on the door themselves. Instead, she opened the door for them and bowed to invite them in.
After the elderly man and the middle-aged man entered the office, the office lady slowly closed the door, her movements incredibly gentle, without making a single extra sound.
After closing the door, she touched her chest, and the tension in her heart finally eased a little.
Inside the room, the blond man greeted the two "distinguished guests" with a bright smile and took the initiative to speak.
