Her body had been frail since childhood.
She had always been in a position where she troubled others.
So she tried to do as many things as possible herself.
Of course, when it came to having Classmate Kamuro, she was unwilling to do things herself. After all, Classmate Kamuro was very useful.
So anything Classmate Kamuro could quickly finish was left to her.
That was called playing to one's strengths and avoiding one's weaknesses, wasn't it?
Although Hachiman had been praised as a good person by her, he chose to remain silent.
He still felt a little ashamed before Sakayanagi Arisu.
Even if, in that semi-enclosed environment, what he had done could be considered the act of a good person.
He had not turned a normal show into an adult one.
Still, what it came down to was that he had refused to pay two million points, then bullied a timid little girl to obtain information from her. It was hardly something he could be proud of.
So, overcome by shame, Hachiman did not respond to Sakayanagi.
The two soon arrived on the fifth floor.
The sixth floor housed First Year Class B.
The fifth floor housed Class A, First Year.
The school's arrangement was weird, but Hachiman had already given up caring.
Sakayanagi then went to her classroom and retrieved a parasol.
After handing the parasol to Hachiman, she suddenly smiled.
"If I suddenly reported my parasol as stolen right now, Hachiman, what kind of situation do you think you would be in?"
What kind of situation?
He would be falsely accused of being a thief.
Whether it was the timing or his presence in Class A's classroom, he would have no way to defend himself.
Especially since the parasol was now covered in his fingerprints.
Even if he explained it clearly, it could still become gossip, and he might spend three years at this school branded as a suspected thief.
So.
Why were you saying something so terrifying?
Please don't!
Perhaps feeling that they had spent too much time already, the two continued downstairs.
To prevent Sakayanagi from saying anything else terrifying, Hachiman opened the parasol and held it over her.
"The weather is really hot today," Sakayanagi said.
"..." Hachiman did not respond.
Because.
Hachiman was starting to feel that something was wrong.
Some students had already finished lunch and were coming out of the cafeteria.
So he hurriedly lowered the parasol a little, hoping to hide his face.
Still.
It should be fine, right? It was not as though he was some celebrity.
Thinking that, the two headed to the cafeteria. There were many people at the serving windows, but there were small private rooms available on the third floor.
Of course, if you wanted a better environment, you had to spend points.
"You really are stingy," Sakayanagi said.
Whether it was ordering food or settling the bill afterward, Hachiman had chosen the AA system.
This guy was unbelievable.
He would probably be single in the future. And even if he was not, the woman who fell for him would probably be some unlucky woman with terrible taste.
"By the way, what is your ideal?" Sakayanagi Arisu asked.
"My ideal?" Hachiman paused. "Probably being a househusband. If I met a rich woman willing to support me, I could handle the housework. But now, it seems that if I do well at this school, I can save up points here too, so..."
"It looks like it would be fine even if she is not rich," Hachiman said.
Hmm.
Sakayanagi Arisu nodded.
All right.
Sakayanagi Arisu thought to herself that if she ever got the chance, she would make his future wife drag him off to work every day.
Having Dates with Two Girls a Day—This Is the Peak of Life, Right?!
1:29:30 p.m.
Hachiman arrived in the classroom almost exactly as the class bell rang.
After lunch, he had escorted Sakayanagi Arisu to the library.
He had previously impersonated Sakayanagi and arranged to meet Classmate Kamuro there. When they actually arrived at the library, Classmate Kamuro was indeed there.
Although impatience showed on her face, she had still appeared there at the appointed time as ordered.
That was a little hard to understand.
Classmate Kamuro seemed unyielding, and she had even refused the points offered by Sakayanagi, that wealthy little girl.
Yet she had still obediently completed the task.
Unless she had masochistic tendencies, it felt like Sakayanagi Arisu must have seized some weakness of Classmate Kamuro's.
So although she was unwilling, she had no choice but to obey Sakayanagi.
How pitiful.
But the pitiful one now seemed to be him.
Because even though he had arrived at the classroom at this time, he could still feel his classmates paying more attention to him.
And based on his long experience as an unnoticed security camera, that attention was surely because Classmate Kamuro had deliberately come to their classroom and asked him out during the previous period.
So now that the lunch break was over, most of his classmates probably wanted to know whether he had been confessed to.
Yeah.
In other words, it was a romance topic.
And something like that had actually happened to him?
Still, it was acceptable.
Because the students in the class probably only knew that Classmate Kamuro had asked him to the rooftop. They did not know that he had actually eaten with an incredibly cute silver-haired, white-stockinged little girl.
Thinking of Sakayanagi Arisu, Hachiman reevaluated her.
Sakayanagi's health really was terrible, and she was forbidden from doing practically any physical activity.
According to the information he had obtained from her, the school held a special exam every month. Whenever it involved sports, she could only forfeit.
Seen that way, it was truly miserable.
If she were an ordinary person, constantly dragging the group down would likely get her abandoned by it.
But she was different. She had brought immense benefits to the class right after enrollment.
She had grasped the true nature of this school.
She was more outstanding than any previous Class A student.
And with experience, both the plans they could make and the confidence they gained would be different.
From that perspective, Sakayanagi Arisu really had reached the peak of her life in one stroke.
Still, that also showed how formidable Sakayanagi Arisu was.
According to the school's evaluation system, she had been placed in Class A despite being so physically weak.
That meant the school's assessment of her other abilities was exceedingly high.
Yet Classmate Hirata and Classmate Kushida in his own class were bombs that could go off at any moment.
Sigh.
Hachiman let his thoughts wander.
"That will be all for this class."
It had been math class. The math teacher was named Asahi Ogura, but unfortunately, he was a bald middle-aged man.
He was vastly different from the cross-dressing pretty boy named Asahi Ogura that Yamauchi and the others had talked about.
Still.
"Hachiman—"
Almost as soon as Ogura-sensei walked out of the classroom, several students immediately gathered around him.
"You weren't in class during lunch break, so you really went to the rooftop, right?"
"Was it a confession? A confession?"
"That girl named Kamuro, did she confess to you?"
This was Yamauchi.
His appearance was rather rough.
But he looked extremely excited.
Based on Hachiman's years of experience observing others, during his self-introduction, Yamauchi had said he was good at table tennis and had nearly made the prefectural team.
There was an eighty percent chance that was just bragging.
If he had truly been that good at table tennis, his hands would have shown some traces of his hard work.
But his hands were completely smooth.
He was probably the type who did not even like exercising.
"That's so nice. A pretty girl is already pursuing you right after enrollment!"
Yamauchi said, "By the way, does she know any other girls?"
"..." Hachiman.
First of all, his name was Hachiman, not Penguin.
Penguin had been his nickname in third grade.
"Isn't it a little inappropriate to surround Hachiman like this?"
"It is the other person's private matter, after all..." A gentle male voice spoke up.
It belonged to a mild-looking boy with short pale green hair streaked with gold.
This was Hirata.
As expected of everyone's Hirata, if anyone besides him ran into trouble, Hirata would probably step in to help.
He was considerate, a good man.
But unfortunately.
Hachiman also had a way to deal with this kind of situation.
