"Huh? You actually looked into that?" Satsuki seemed to have only just realized it.
Ichika realized she had misspoken and quickly laughed it off. "Well, I only looked into it a little. Aren't I honestly coming to school now?"
"But back to the point, idols and actors put in all kinds of effort before earning any income. Yet we're just ordinary students, and each of us gets 100,000 a month. Do you think that's reasonable?" Ichika said. "I don't think students like us are worth that much."
"Besides, the school isn't a charity. So even if it wants something from us, I think it'll definitely keep proper financial records."
"Then our future living expenses definitely won't stay this high," Ichika said. "So it's good to prepare in advance. Finding protection from upperclassmen at school, especially upperclassmen who are Student Council members, is very important."
"Of course, that's about social connections. Satsuki, you just need to make sure you're fed," Ichika said.
"?..." Satsuki.
Satsuki felt that Ichika had said something downright awful.
Still.
She had also heard the important part of Ichika's words: the points in their personal phone accounts could be spent as money. And if they did not receive as much this month, would she still have money to eat?
That was extremely important.
So Satsuki immediately pulled Ichika away, heading for the classroom to wait for the teacher to come hold homeroom.
Meanwhile, before Ichika and Satsuki made their move, Hachiman had already returned to the third-year teaching building.
He arrived at Ryuen's class.
The seating had not changed.
Hachiman found his seat and sat down.
"This year's freshmen are really pathetic." Hachiman had barely sat down when he heard Ryuen's voice.
Clearly, Ryuen had seen the results of this year's first-years' first Behavioral Guidelines Exam.
