Then.

"Get me water quickly!" Hachiman said immediately.

"Didn't you just say the water was cut off?" Horikita answered honestly.

"..."

"..."

That explains why Hachiman brought a water bottle to class and to the cafeteria, amidst the curious gazes of his classmates and Classmate Sakayanagi.

Then I received an unexpected notification.

The entire school will be without water for one day.

The water probably won't come back until 3 p. m. the next day, which is truly hopeless, but that's only for Hachiman.

"..." Horikita responded calmly.

It was as if the things happening around her and the person next to her had nothing to do with her.

That straightforward idiot.

Meanwhile, Hachiman's side wasn't in such an awkward position.

Although wearing a women's water bottle on his left hand would be conspicuous, he had a solution.

So I just slightly changed my image.

In the previous incident involving Sakura's camera, Sakura said that if he slightly concealed his dead fish eyes, it would give people a very different feeling.

Yes.

To avoid drawing attention to his left hand, Hachiman put on the green-framed glasses that Sakura had helped him choose.

This immediately attracted the attention of some students around him who might be interested in him.

Today, Hachiman gives off a different vibe, perhaps due to a change in his demeanor, and he's also been described as a handsome man.

That's really reassuring.

Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.

However, I've already received quite a few messages on my phone.

[H- Hachiman, is your left hand alright? The water's out now, but I have some water in my dorm room. I can bring it to you during lunch break.] by Airi Sakura.

Um.

Sakura is such a good person.

Hachiman Hikigaya discovers that Airi Sakura has won his favor.

[Hachiman, your image has been completely reversed! The girls are starting to talk about you.]

[You look good as you are, so keep wearing your glasses. But actually, you seem to be in some trouble.]

[If you need my help, just let me know.]

Um.

Isn't Kushida kind of cute?

Although I know Kushida is just trying to win me over, I can't deny that this guy can really make people waver.

Why are there so many messages sent?

[Let's wait for the water.] by Suzune Horikita.

"..." This is truly Suzune Horikita discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose.

[I did give you the photo, but please don't show it to anyone else. It's kind of embarrassing.]

This is Chabashira-sensei.

The first class was her history class, and she even moved to the back row during the class, not noticing that his right hand was sealed.

But.

[Why are you wearing green-framed glasses? Not the ones I chose?] by Karuizawa.

Karuizawa did accompany him to buy non-prescription glasses.

However, Sakura had accompanied him, and he hadn't been wearing glasses. But when he actually did Sakura, who has a strong sixth sense, is quite sensitive in matters of the heart, and even has some autistic tendencies, misunderstood and thought that he didn't actually like the glasses she had chosen, which would be bad.

That's why I specifically dug out the non-prescription glasses that Sakura had chosen, which had been sitting in the drawer after we bought them.

Result.

Did you not want to hurt Sakura, but ended up hurting Karuizawa instead?

"..." Hachiman.

I'll give it a little thought.

Then I'll ask her to help me during my lunch break.

Hachiman then replied to Karuizawa's message with one hand, asking her to keep him company during his lunch break.

Time flew by and it was lunchtime.

Considering that Horikita suffered yesterday, and given the water outage today, Horikita is...

She was also one of the few who ate at the school cafeteria.

It was just a normal cafeteria with people coming and going, but he appeared wearing a woman's water bottle, which easily attracted attention.

So Hachiman considered it for a moment and went to a less crowded private room in the cafeteria on the third floor.

However, it was not Sakayanagi Arisu's private room.

Instead, I paid some points to have the staff open an extra room for me.

"You're really extravagant." Karuizawa was also led into a private room by the staff, where she saw Hachiman wearing a lady's water bottle on his left hand.

She quickly understood what Hachiman asking her to accompany him.

It's probably meant for her to get the food and then bring it in.

After all, his current appearance makes him easily noticeable.

Without saying a word, Karuizawa took action.

Sitting in the chair, watching the back of the girl with the beautiful golden ponytail.

Hachiman discovers that Karuizawa is actually a good person.

Because of the agreement with the original Class A, if this agreement is not cashed out in a hurry, it will generate nearly 30 million points, which is more than enough to pay for a student to graduate as Class A student.

However, 20 million is no small sum. For him, who has the authority to convert it into cash in advance, it is real money.

It's definitely not possible to give it away for free.

And there's no need for him to use it himself.

Because he didn't want to work at all.

So, just like the suggestion he made to Shiina, if Shiina was willing to support him, then he was willing to invest in her.

Even if it's not Shiina, anyone else is fine.

Rather, it's more accurate to say...

In fact, Hachiman is not a picky eater. What's more, almost every girl he met at this school, even those with names, was prettier than Orito he used to like.

In addition, he doesn't like to be a picky eater.

Therefore, he hopes to make contact with anyone who might meet his expectations.

After all.

After leaving this school, you will almost never meet or even contact your junior high or high school classmates again.

So the relationship ended.

Instead of searching for a wealthy woman who is elusive, or even nonexistent, and who will support him, it's better to find someone right around him.

Perhaps because his left hand was bound, Hachiman's mind was quite open right now.

Because I suddenly felt that Karuizawa might be a very suitable person for me.

Only.

"What are you doing?"

Karuizawa was about to leave the private room, she found someone blocking the doorway.

She walked to the left of the door, and the other person walked to the right; she walked to the right of the door, and the other person walked to the left.

It completely blocked her out.

If the other person isn't directionally challenged, then it must have been intentional.

"Someone is looking for Hachiman Hikigaya," said the uninvited guest who blocked Karuizawa's path.

The other person had long, slightly purple hair with long bangs, clipped with three hairpins, and a stern face, as if someone owed her a lot of money.

As she was thinking this, Karuizawa heard the sound of a cane scraping against the ground outside the door.

There was a corridor between the private rooms, and someone was walking towards us from a distance, holding a cane, at a leisurely pace.

Click click click...

The sound that could be heard was the sound of a cane.

It has a very imposing presence.

"Sakayanagi from Class A of the first year... no, First Year Class C."

Karuizawa looked ahead, watching the girl approaching with her cane, and then recognized her.

She was, after all, a minor Disciplinary Committee Member and a member of the Student Council, but she wasn't at the level of remembering all the students' information. However, she still knew Sakayanagi Arisu.

Because a long time ago, everyone knew that Hachiman was often seen eating with a silver-haired loli girl.

That must be the lovely girl in front of me.

Sakayanagi Arisu.

This person made a strong appearance at the recent grade-wide Sports Festival, making a strong impression and being considered a candidate for the next Student Council President.

"Oh dear, we've only just been promoted to Class A, and you're all already calling us Class C. Should we praise your ignorance, or do you think you can hold onto your position in Class A?"

Holding a cane in her left hand, the silver-haired girl appeared quite polite.

But.

Forehead.

Karuizawa thought Sakayanagi Arisu looked cute and adorable, but her tone seemed to carry a hint of provocation.

Even though the person in front of her is cute and adorable, Karuizawa feels that the other person is dangerous.

"Alright, stop bullying my classmates." Hachiman inside the private room.

When Hachiman saw Karuizawa being blocked, he realized that the person blocking Karuizawa was Sakayanagi's little dog.

Although Kamuro is often seen being ordered around to do this and that, there is only one person who can currently command her, and that is Sakayanagi.

Therefore, the only thing that could motivate her to come here was Sakayanagi.

Really.

Click.

After Hachiman said that, a flash of light appeared ahead.

That's the sound of a camera taking a picture.

It must have been a genuine photograph capturing his appearance at that moment.

"It's rare to see you in such a disheveled state," Sakayanagi Arisu said politely as always.

However, she has a terrible personality.

So, Sakayanagi probably received the news that his right hand was sealed by a lady's kettle, and then rushed over to mock him.
