Chapter 283

She usually has the best relationship with Karuizawa.

When Hachiman Hikigaya was doing the physical tests, he asked their small team to input the data.

Everyone worked for almost an hour.

So I remember this incident very well.

I think Hachiman is someone who likes to boss people around.

Only.

Sato's opinion of him has also changed.

Because Horikita injured her left foot, she, who was one of the faster runners among the girls in the class, should have been replaced.

However, Sudō hadn't returned yet, and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji hadn't been revealed to be a super overpowered character, so their chances of winning were very low.

In the actual competition, even though Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, Sudo, Hirata all participated, the pressure still fell on the last runner.

She felt that if she were to be the last one to throw the ball and then lose... she would definitely be blamed by her classmates.

So she was quite grateful to Hachiman replacing her with Matsushita Hachiman's permission.

Kushida has now directly sacrificed Sato.

Actually, Kushida's statement is not very reliable. If he publicly points out who has feelings for whom, he might be resented by the girl.

Because this is equivalent to being forced to read a love letter aloud in person.

But that should be fine.

Kushida is a very observant person, and she noticed today that Sato had turned around to look in Hachiman's direction 13 times during class.

"Hmm—" Sato blushed slightly. "I just think Hachiman seems pretty good too. And I like guys who are good at sports."

Are you good at sports?

The boys in the class who are good at sports, such as Kōenji or Sudō.

But you never went to watch Sudō play basketball. Or wrote love letters to Kōenji.

So you only care about looks, right?

"Speaking of which, isn't Kiyotaka Ayanokoji super awesome too!" Kushida continued. "Although he's not very noticeable, his looks are in the top five among the first-year boys in the class, no, among the first-year boys."

That's true.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji may not have a strong presence, but no one can deny that he's a handsome guy.

And he runs incredibly fast, it's terrifying.

At the same time, unlike the eccentric characters like those at Kōenji, he is a normal person.

So isn't this exactly what Sato expected?

Only.

"Kiyotaka Ayanokoji— " Sato said. "When we enrolled, wasn't he discussing some kind of big-breasted ranking with Yamauchi and the others?"

So that's where the points were deducted.

Everyone knows... my ass.

Because you think Hachiman Hikigaya is nice, but you haven't seen him interact with you much.

So, isn't it because Hachiman Hikigaya wore glasses today that he looks completely different and handsome?

Even the girls in the class admitted that Hachiman Hikigaya was very handsome today.

"So Maya, are you going to confess?"

Karuizawa's other friend, Satsuki Shinohara, immediately inquired.

These girls are all single in their class, so they are very interested in things like romance.

It should be said.

Now that everyone has just been promoted to Class A, they are excited. Before, they were worried about living expenses and being expelled from school due to Special Exam, but now they are in an excellent situation.

So I had a slight feeling of wanting to indulge in lust after a good meal.

We can consider something else now.

"I'm somewhat tempted, but I'm still a little scared," said Maya Sato. "If Karuizawa could help me, that would be great."

"I?"

I heard a topic I didn't want to hear.

But Karuizawa still found it strange.

"Yeah, didn't you say you dated a boy in middle school?" Sato took her hand.

Hmm.

That was a lie she told; it was a fabrication to create the image she presented.

"So I think you must have experience, Karuizawa," Sato said.

No, no, no.

Karuizawa shook his head frantically in his mind.

She has absolutely no experience.

And.

Is the plan to have her help Sato chase Hachiman Hikigaya?

Karuizawa felt this was the worst possible choice.

"Could it be that Karuizawa, you weren't with Hachiman -kun at lunch today either?"

"No, no, no," Karuizawa quickly denied. "I'm not interested in Hachiman. In fact, he's not my type at all."

Karuizawa immediately said, "I like the kind of person who... well, who is very good at studying and seems like a top student. Hachiman, his grades are only average."

"Oh, I understand."

A busty woman with long blue hair, who had been sitting quietly in the corner without joining the conversation, joined in, saying, "I also think it's better for guys to be more outstanding."

"Does Horikita have any dating experience?" a girl asked.

"We're still recruiting." The oldest girl in the class, Horikita, shook her head slightly.

So the topic has returned to its initial point.

"Karuizawa, could you give me some pointers?" Sato continued to seek advice from the love guru, Karuizawa.

But Karuizawa doesn't know anything.

"Hmm—" Although she felt a little sorry for Sato, she felt that being entangled with him would lead to complicated developments, so Karuizawa immediately said, "I think girls need to be bolder in this kind of thing, because not only does Hachiman have Horikita by his side, but also the very good-looking Sakura, and even Kushida is sometimes seen with him. So if you want to date him, then the girl needs to take the initiative."

?

What's it to me?

Kushida, who had finally managed to extricate herself from the situation, was pulled back in. She quickly said, "I also think Karuizawa is right. Sato is so cute. If she tries hard, she might make guys swoon. And Hachiman."

Kushida shared the information he had obtained. "He confessed to a girl in junior high school and was rejected once. After that, he didn't quite believe that girls could like him. But if he takes the initiative to make things clear to her, it's possible to win her over."

Oh, oh, oh.

So this is a possible opportunity to catch up.

Because he was injured, isn't this a perfect excuse to get medical treatment and trick him into giving her his money?

"Y-yes, that's true." Maya Sato nodded, somewhat bewildered. "So, you'll have to try harder then."

"Yes, yes."

The other girls offered encouragement and chatted amongst themselves.

"It seems Hachiman is back," Kushida remarked.

Sato suddenly pushed back his chair and stood up.

No way.

Karuizawa looked at her in surprise, because this sign indicated that Sato was actually... serious?

At the same time, Karuizawa knew that Hachiman Hikigaya was a problematic person.

For him, dating isn't important; what matters is whether the other person is willing to marry him and support him.

So.

Is it possible that Hachiman Hikigaya, who isn't Horikita, Kushida, or Sakayanagi Arisu, could be directly won over by an unexpected person?

Then.

Having finally freed his hand, Hachiman returned to the classroom.

But when he returned, he found the girls looking at him with scrutinizing eyes.

They seemed to be discussing his affairs.

Hachiman also discovered that he had received a message from Karuizawa on his phone.

Karuizawa is the leader of her group of gyaru (gal) girls.

And now he's his mole.

But.

That's what the mole said.

[Sato seems to be somewhat interested in you. A girl in the class is urging her to confess her feelings to you.]

"..." Hachiman.

At the same time.

He seemed to be being stared at by the boys with envious eyes.

My skin tone isn't healthy because my hand was stuck all day.

Suzune Horikita didn't want to owe him a favor, so before class started, she sat down next to him and massaged his hands as if he were massaging hers.

He placed his hands on her firm thighs, and then her hands pressed against his palms.

Hey, hey, hey.

This position... being massaged by an absolutely gorgeous young woman, everyone would be envious.

The students in the class were immediately bombarded with a dose of PDA.

Now, no one doubted that their relationship wasn't normal.

Because this wasn't just holding hands, but rather a very sweet gesture.

Hachiman also noticed that Karuizawa had sent another message.

[It's alright now.]

"..."

So.

Did you not confess your feelings?

Although I didn't think I'd have any romances in high school, this is even worse than middle school—it ended before it even started.

"..." Another black mark on my history is about to be added.

Damn it, even though he improved his defense in high school, he can still hurt him.

It would be better to just agree to Sakayanagi directly from the stands at the Sports Festival meet, instead of beating around the bush.

In this way.

The joy of successfully Class Advancement subsided, and the school's specialty, the Special Exam for the new month, began.
