Sakayanagi: "Hikigaya, You Confessed to Ichinose, Didn't You?" (Part 2)

Hachiman checked the time.

It's only 7:30 pm. Do girls go to bed this early?

Because I don't understand girls, and I've never thought about trying to understand them.

Hachiman gave up on asking Karuizawa any more questions.

But.

Suzune Horikita sent a message.

[First Year Class B, Chihiro Shiranam. I've run into her a few times; she's been seen with Honami Ichinose, so she's probably Ichinose's.]

"..." Hachiman.

He didn't say, "Horikita, you've gone offline."

Because Kushida has already replied to this message. Moreover, Kushida has more information, such as even realizing that Chihiro Shiranam harbors romantic feelings for Ichinose.

Certainly.

There's no way to force Horikita to do this; Hachiman doesn't think Suzune Horikita will encounter anything like romance.

In this way.

A good night's sleep.

The students arrived on Monday and resumed classes after the exam results were released.

However, although everyone passed the last exam and received a perfect score of 100 as a class evaluation reward, many people actually felt panicked before the exam papers were leaked and they were able to memorize the answers.

They even regret not working harder when they were studying.

I'm terrified of failing the exam and having to drop out of school.

Then.

"Speaking of which..."

"Hirata, could you please continue holding study sessions?"

Inquiries like these have increased.

Sudo asked Hirata if he could learn from her.

That's the gist of it. He has athletic talent, and the school's facilities, tuition-free education, and living expenses are all unmatched by other schools.

So I don't want to lose this opportunity.

I finally miss studying.

"Yes, yes, I'd love to attend a study session too!"

Not only Sudō, but Ike also participated.

I just don't know how long this learning craze will last.

Only.

"Hey! Studying... I've been studying for half a month already."

"And the next Special Exam probably won't be a written exam, right?" Yamauchi said.

Some people are unwilling.

Hachiman was no longer paying attention to this place.

He was already thinking about the spicy chicken wings for lunch. The spicy chicken wings at school were from McDonald's and KFC, with McDonald's being spicier, which he didn't really like.

So, is it okay if some students still have poor Academic Ability?

It's okay.

The written exams for management reveal that schools are looking for more than just students with strong Academic Ability.

Therefore, the assessment will likely focus on other aspects as well.

Then.

As long as we are promoted to Class A before the Special Exam that truly tests everyone's Academic Ability, then there will be no problem.

Hachiman's mission is now complete.

Then, the rest is probably just a matter of giving up.

Things like students dropping out of class or students with poor Academic Ability dropping out are no longer relevant to him.

So.

Although Hachiman felt that Karuizawa's attitude was somewhat problematic last night.

However, when he looked over, Karuizawa didn't look back.

On the contrary, the other girls looked over with some curiosity.

Sakura seemed to want to say something but hesitated, while Kushida gave him a helpless look in return.

"..."

So what happened?

Meanwhile, Hachiman notices the girl next to Karuizawa.

I always felt like they were talking about him.

Hachiman doesn't think he did anything yesterday. Did he only talk to Horikita at the victory celebration and then run away when he realized it was over?

Indeed.

He didn't like that kind of atmosphere.

And that's what I was thinking.

He looked at the person next to him.

She had beautiful, smooth, straight black hair, but skillfully braided one side of her long hair into a plait.

This is Suzune Horikita.

It seems that Horikita is not only good at cooking, but also has great potential in housework and being a housewife.

Hachiman actually wants to braid his daughter's hair in the future.

Because this is a fundamental skill for dad.

But thinking about it this way always feels a bit strange.

So Hachiman continued thinking about lunch.

Lunch was still in the cafeteria, but the food wasn't obtained there; someone had to go to the Shopping Street to buy it.

However, Classmate Sakayanagi is a prepared person.

When Hachiman arrived, the spicy chicken wings and egg tart set meal was already prepared.

Hachiman glanced at the purple-haired girl with a hair clip who was sitting alone on the side, looking rather unhappy.

It's probably because Kamuro was arranged to buy it in advance.

While she was eating, she took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

So maybe they just ran there and then ran back.

That must have been really tough.

However, although I felt a little sorry for Kamuro, the tender meat of those deep-fried wings tasted absolutely amazing.

"Hachiman really likes this kind of fried food." A cute voice came from beside Hachiman.

She is a cute girl with straight silver-white hair.

Sakayanagi Arisu.

Because of her physical discomfort, she needs to carry a cane with her at all times.

Sick, young girl.

However, in Hachiman's case, the opponent's attack power is very strong.

"Sakayanagi, would you like some?"

Kamuro brought a wing bucket, so there's more than enough room to share it.

"I don't need to," Classmate Sakayanagi, waving her hand gently. "Spicy and fried foods are bad for your skin."

Hearing her words, Hachiman subconsciously glanced at her hand.

Indeed.

She's very fair-skinned.

Like an exquisite doll.

"Actually, it's fine to try it once in a while," Hachiman said. "See? It smells delicious, doesn't it?"

"It does look very tempting." But Classmate Sakayanagi kept smiling.

But clearly, they don't want to try.

People with good skin are partly naturally blessed, but also take care of it after birth.

Hachiman also knows that some boys use facial cleansers and face masks.

"Well then." He watched Hachiman took a sip of his cola.

"Sakayanagi said."

"First of all, congratulations on your excellent results in this Special Exam."

"However, I didn't give permission to give the exam papers to Class B," Sakayanagi Arisu said.

"This point..." Hachiman hesitated for a moment.

Because it was indeed the test paper set by Sakayanagi, it was not only given to his class for free, but also shared with Class B, which had a similar setup to Class A.

It does indeed raise suspicions of aiding the enemy.

"This is probably to suppress Vice President Nagumo." Hachiman was prepared for this.

"The Vice President has secretly contacted Class B, seemingly intending to give them the test papers as a gesture of goodwill," Hachiman said.

"And the goal is probably to get votes from Class B."

"Is that so?" But Classmate Sakayanagi said, "Then you've really done something troublesome, because if Nagumo Hachiman did that, then it would be great. I could report Nagumo for leaking the exam papers and get rid of his Student Council Vice President status."

Is that so?

Then you're scary.

Hachiman was thinking that things had come to that point, and the school wouldn't change the exam paper anymore.

This would cause confusion for most students.

But Sakayanagi, you just flipped the table! Is your attack power that strong?

Only.

"I think you also know that even if it was really reported, Nagumo is still a representative of the second year."

"So the usual methods are useless," Hachiman said.

"That's true." Sakayanagi nodded.

In other words, even if they caught Nagumo secretly filming, it wouldn't be of any use, because Nagumo is the representative of the second-year students, so Nagumo can push out a few people to take the blame.

Therefore, attacking Nagumo would be ineffective.

So, Hachiman continued eating egg tarts.

"Speaking of which..."

But Classmate Sakayanagi continued, "Was it because you were dealing with Hachiman Nagumo Ichinose?"
