Kushida, Let's Go on a Date!

He had already confirmed the amount on the points card by swiping his phone.

The points are 10 million.

"Oh." Horikita, however, seemed rather calm.

"You don't want it?" Hachiman noticed Horikita's attitude.

"The Class Advancement was an agreement between you and Chabashira-sensei," Suzune Horikita said. "I was just assisting, and all I wanted was my brother's approval."

In other words, Suzune Horikita is the same as the one we met at the beginning.

He is not greedy for money.

Then.

He believes that those who do not work should not eat, and Hachiman did lead the class to Class A, he felt it was reasonable for him to eat Suzune Horikita's food now.

The next day.

Perhaps because of the intense exercise yesterday, most of the students in the class are just relaxing.

Hachiman also felt that his muscles were a little sore after a whole day of intense Sports Festival events yesterday.

However, the two books he borrowed from the library were about to expire, so when he was about to go out to find something to eat in the morning, he went to return the books.

"Drop!"

He walked to the first floor of the library, opened his student ID on his phone, and placed it on the machine to update his records.

Just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly caught a pleasant scent.

He felt a familiar scent.

"Shiina- kun?" Hachiman recognized him instantly.

This is all thanks to taking the other person to the infirmary yesterday, and their body remembered it.

"Mm." Shiina nodded.

Actually, the first floor is her private space. Whether she has an exam or not, she usually spends her rest time here.

"Shiina is usually in the library." Hachiman had run into Hiyori Shiina in the library more than once. "Have you considered pursuing a career related to books in the future?"

"This..."

As Hiyori listened to Hachiman talk about the future, she thought about how she pretended to be injured during yesterday's Sports Festival to trick Hachiman away, and then had her classmates use a self-inflicted injury to frame Horikita.

As it turns out, this was completely useless.

Class D lost so badly they didn't even have their underwear left.

Her pretense of being injured was all for naught.

But.

At that time Hachiman also made a suggestion.

That means if she's willing, he can offer 20 million to help her graduate from Class A and have a good future.

However, the cost is high.

I have to marry him, and then... I'll have to be the one who goes to work as a corporate slave.

This puts some pressure on Shiina also doesn't want to work hard.

Is Hachiman old issues again?

"Actually, I have had this thought."

"I want to become a librarian or something," Shiina said. "It would be really nice to be able to read books in the library during my free time."

"You don't need 20 million points to be a librarian," Hachiman said. "If you graduate normally and get into a good university, you can easily get this job."

"..." Hiyori.

Okay, Hachiman, please stop talking about this.

Because Shiina is also someone who wants to be able to support herself.

But it's also a pity.

She felt it was basically impossible to stay at this school, so she thought about going to a decent university after graduation and becoming a librarian.

If one can graduate from Class A, then of course it's impossible to become an administrator.

It would be worthwhile if it were at least a higher position.

She doesn't want to work hard and wants to be supported by others, but if she really has the opportunity, she is willing to go all out.

For example, if someone really received 20 million and could rise in social class, they would definitely seize the opportunity and go directly into politics or something.

She's recently been reading classic female-oriented literature like Scarlett O'Hara, whose heroine Scarlett never gives up, seizes every opportunity, and is incredibly brave, which is very touching.

And now.

It seems like an opportunity.

Hachiman Hikigaya secured an agreement with Class A, which was worth nearly 30 million points.

So.

Shiina asked, "Hachiman, if there were a possibility, say a business deal, that would only be profitable in the future, would you be willing to invest?"

"You mean you'll get 20 million?" Hachiman immediately grasped the other party's intention.

"Hmm... more or less." Shiina nodded. "Graduating from Class A of this school and then going into politics would be a great opportunity. And if I gained some authority, perhaps I could issue some proposals that might benefit you. What do you think?"

"Then will you take care of me?" Hachiman asked.

"..." Shiina. "Do we really have to get married?"

"Yes." Hachiman nodded.

"..." Hiyori.

In other words, aside from marriage and supporting you, you might be willing to invest in her.

Shiina sighed softly.

However, she called out to Hachiman Hikigaya at the library.

Because.

"Our class came in last again yesterday," Shiina said. "Not only did our evaluation score drop to zero."

"At the same time, you also took away the agreement with Class A."

"And Ryuen."

"I've already withdrawn from the class competition," Shiina said.

Actually, this is a sad outcome.

When Shitō classmates objected to Ryuen yesterday, Ryuen shamelessly said that if the class evaluation score was reduced to 0, he would resign as the Class representative.

And as fate would have it, the class's evaluation score really did drop to zero.

Then the evidence of cheating that could be used to threaten the original Class A became invalid, so Ryuen simply gave up.

I resigned immediately.

"Ryuen..." Hachiman actually quite liked Ryuen, but since Ryuen had given up, there was no point in liking Class D anymore.

Because if you can make money in Class D, Ryuen is a must.

Only.

"Why are you telling me all this?" Hachiman asked.

"Because Class D has become dangerous," Hiyori Shiina said. "They have no money and no points."

"And there will be Special Exam every month."

"I imagine that students will soon drop out as well."

"If we are targeted by other classes, the situation will be even worse."

"I quite like our current class," Hiyori said. "So this is kind of giving the class a glimmer of hope."

To seize a sliver of hope?

Yes.

Since Ryuen has stopped taking charge, Class D is now like lambs to the slaughter.

Shiina's statement was essentially a way of asking him to discuss the possibility of the two classes teaming up if they encountered any difficult exams.

However, Hachiman's impression of Hiyori Shiina was completely changed.

I understand a little better why Shiina, who is beautiful, has refined interests, and is good at both Academic Ability and sports, was initially assigned to Class C.

That is her personality and way of behaving.

Very realistic.

They will directly choose the method that best suits their current interests.

If there really is a class withdrawal exam, then even though she looks like a harmless literature girl...

But in reality, she might directly select or deliberately choose the person who will drop out of school.

She's the type of student who would drop out of school without hesitation, just like her classmates.

And that's what I was thinking.

"Drop!"

Hachiman noticed his phone vibrate; he had received a message.

Upon opening it, I discovered it was sent by Chabashira-sensei.

"This is our class's prize for being promoted to Class A," Hachiman said, staring at the photo that came with the message. "Looks like we can commemorate this properly."

Is that so?

Hachiman, you're really good at this.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that your teacher works just as hard.

The students compete within their classes, striving for Class A, and the homeroom teachers seem to be involved as well. For example, Hiyori- sensei, Sakagami-sensei, has high hopes for Ryuen.

Therefore, he also told Ryuen some information that he wouldn't normally tell the students.

That's why Ryuen was able to make arrangements so quickly before the exam.

These are all manifestations of Sakagami-sensei's enthusiasm for class competition.

Wow, your teacher works just as hard!

Because.

In Hiyori's eyes.

The photo that Hachiman clicked on now is of a woman with a black ponytail.

If you look closely, you'll see that it's Sae Chabashira.

And Chabashira-sensei was dressed as a maid.

The black and white maid outfit seemed to come alive under the backdrop of Sae Chabashira, and her slender legs, encased in white stockings, shone with a textured luster under the light.

Chabashira seemed a little lost, probably because he was wearing clothes he wouldn't normally wear.

She could only stand there dumbfounded, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Chapter 185 Kushida, let's go on a date!

On the other side...

"The photos are done."
