Katsuragi's Test, Hachiman Really Is a (cont.)

"Hachiman Hikigaya, what kind of person do you think Kushida's boyfriend is?" Yamauchi asked, pressing for an answer like a sparrow.

"..." Hachiman.

What kind of person is Kushida's boyfriend?

As the person responsible for calling Kushida to create excuses, Hachiman himself doesn't even know what kind of person he is.

Only.

It's hard to imagine what kind of person a guy with such strong inner strength would be able to truly date Kikyo Kushida, who has a dual nature.

In this way.

They must have done something extraordinary.

Tonight is Hachiman's first night on the ship, and he unexpectedly dreams of Kikyo Kushida.

In his dream, Kushida married him and woke him up. Then she urged him to go to work.

It probably felt like a nightmare.

So Hachiman was immediately awakened.

Early morning.

Hachiman arrived at the deck.

Then he yawned and stared blankly at the sunrise over the sea.

Since it was only close to six o'clock, which was still quite early, there weren't many students on the deck at that time.

He was enjoying the beautiful view of the sea all to himself.

"You don't seem to be in a good mood." Just as Hachiman was looking at the sky, a voice came from behind him.

It's a girl's voice.

The girl's voice was familiar; she was someone I knew.

Hachiman turned his head slightly and saw a cute girl with a beautiful golden ponytail.

Kei Karuizawa.

When you see Karuizawa, you'll find her appearance cute.

Um.

As long as she doesn't show any overbearing, sexy expression, she is indeed very cute.

However, because she is so cute, she always reminds people of Sakayanagi Arisu, who is even cuter than her.

At this time, Sakayanagi is probably in his dormitory at school.

Hachiman thought of it.

"He probably had a nightmare," Hachiman said. "By the way, how did you know I was in a bad mood?"

"You've been sighing here by yourself for over ten minutes," Karuizawa said.

Is that so?

Since we noticed he was sighing a while ago, we shouldn't wait another ten minutes; he can come over from the front.

Or is it that you won't act on your own initiative unless you're given orders?

Hachiman deepened his evaluation of Karuizawa's "m" attributes.

"But why are you up so early too?" Hachiman asked.

"Ah... um, I'm the type to shower in the morning, so a shower woke me up," Karuizawa said.

Is that so?

Take a shower in the morning.

Indeed, some people would do that.

Some people wash twice a day, but that might be too much for their skin.

And.

Hachiman is keeping an eye on Karuizawa.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, she had a moist and supple feel. She also smelled nice.

It's true that girls who have just taken a bath are the most alluring.

Therefore...

The dream of marrying Kushida was a nightmare. If he were to actually get married, he thought Karuizawa would be a good choice too.

If the other person is an M, then they will take good care of him.

Certainly.

These are all unlikely.

After all, Hachiman's goal is to become a stay-at-home husband.

Neither Horikita, Kushida, nor Karuizawa could support him.

Hey!

Rich women are hard to find.

Or are you saying you want to make money and become a millionaire?

Because of a nightmare, Hachiman doesn't want to work hard today.

The ship is still moving.

There is currently no indication that it will dock.

So there's still some time to go.

Considering Horikita's health, Hachiman did not disturb her at noon.

But he was invited out.

Actually, he's a problem child in the class, and it seems that Yamauchi invited Sudō and Ike as well.

The purpose was to hold a heartbreak support event for Chi.

Therefore...

Why is this happening?

Birds of a feather flock together; if you associate with people with low opinion of you, your own opinion will also decline. Hachiman Hikigaya certainly doesn't want his opinion to drop.

But I'm also worried that these people might do something really bad to hinder the team before they get promoted to A.

So, let's hurry up and try to get into Class A, then just give up.

"Hachiman was thinking."

"Hachiman Hikigaya, don't look so unhappy!"

A tall, thin boy with red hair patted Hachiman on the shoulder.

"It's a rare treat for us to invite you to dinner."

Accompanying Sudō are Ike, who is unpopular with girls, Yamauchi, a pure otaku, and Yamauchi, Sotomura bought a computer from the beginning and is good at using laptops.

There are 5 people in total.

"I don't think I'm really suited to be here," Hachiman said.

He wasn't actually interested in the pond or the Yamauchi.

I don't want to participate in their activities at all.

"Didn't you help share the topic of confessing your feelings?" Yamauchi said. "So let's all do it together! And if you're heartbroken, we'll celebrate for you too."

Is that so?

But you seem quite happy, Yamauchi.

Was it because Chi's confession was rejected?

And then you curse him to also be heartbroken?

Hachiman thought Yamauchi was a socially inept person.

If there's a dropout exam that can keep Hirata in check, then Yamauchi will be the first to be sacrificed. That's a situation everyone would be happy to see.

Hachiman thought to himself.

Since the food on the ship is free, you can use and eat it as you please.

The group chose a high-end restaurant.

Only.

"By the way, is it okay for us to come to such a high-class place?"

Yesterday they were all eating udon noodles in a restaurant, but today Chi discovered a high-end Western restaurant on the third floor. As soon as he entered, he saw many unfamiliar faces, who seemed to be students from Class A.

No wonder there weren't many seats available; it turns out Class A had booked the whole place!

But Hachiman Hikigaya still managed to find an empty table and sit down.

The menu is on the table. There are five copies of each menu.

So everyone can get one.

But such an elegant restaurant was a bit overwhelming for the group.

"What would you like to order...? What's this... again?" Sudō looked at the menu and then at Ike.

Ren Chi felt immense pressure. "It might be... stewed pig's head? With added herb sauce?"

The menu was in English, so Chi had to translate it carefully.

However, this is actually just pork stew with glass noodles.

"Who cares... let's just order whatever!" Yamauchi immediately started chattering. "Excuse me, is anyone here? We want to order!"

This is a Western restaurant with dedicated waiters, so people will come even if it's not crowded. On the contrary, being crowded would be considered impolite.

So, in this cafeteria full of Class A students, they were immediately attacked.

Not only did many people turn their attention to this place, but there was even discussion about it.

"That must be Sudō. I heard he killed someone, but I don't know why he hasn't been expelled yet!"

"How dare students from Class C come here?"

"Speaking of which, they were originally in Class D, right? They really have no manners..."

Similar looks, filled with suspicion and malice, were cast upon him, accompanied by sarcastic rumors.

These are the students in Class A.

Hachiman also noticed that there weren't many students in Class A here.

There are only about 22 people.

Meanwhile, Kamuro Masumi Kamuro, whom he knew well, was not here. Instead, Katsuragi, whom he had met once, and Katsuragi's follower Yahiko Totsuka were both here.

I knew beforehand that Class A was severely divided.

Classmate Sakayanagi has her own Sakayanagi Faction.

And now.

Although Classmate Sakayanagi did not come to the ship to take the exam.

But.

Her classmates are also good-natured schizophres.

Because.

The students in Class A here now are all from the Katsuragi Faction.
