Simps Never Get Any Love! (Continued)

I see.

Sakayanagi understood.

Hachiman wants Nagumo to drop out of school.

Judging from this, Nagumo probably told the other party in private that if he became the student Hachiman.

Sakayanagi Arisu made a note of it for now.

"Furthermore," Hachiman said, "the Student Council President crisis won't be completely over until Nagumo is expelled."

"You mean..." Kosaka Sakayanagi frowned.

"You Nagumo aren't the only candidates for the Student Council."

"There's one more person."

Is there one more person?

Yes.

The Student Council had two Vice President, Nagumo resigned. However, there is still one person remaining.

That is Kiriyama.

They were originally in Second-year Class A, but because they were surpassed by Nagumo, they were relegated to Class B. Manabu Horikita first brought Nagumo into the Student Council, but found that Nagumo was going against his wishes, so he brought Kiriyama in as well.

The goal is to suppress Nagumo.

However, the suppression failed.

The entire second year also fell under Nagumo's rule.

So.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to consider Kiriyama as Nagumo's dog.

"If Kiriyama is elected, then Nagumo still has a chance," Hachiman said.

"..." Sakayanagi. "Are you telling me all this so that I'll continue my efforts to become Student Council President Hachiman, thus avoiding a conflict with me?"

"No," Hachiman said. "I even managed to fool Kōenji."

"Speaking of Kōenji," Sakayanagi said. "He's definitely a monster. We talked about Kiyotaka Ayanokoji before; Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is the pinnacle, but Kōenji is also a wild genius."

"So it's hard to say who is stronger between the two."

Is that so?

You're talking about Kiyotaka Ayanokoji at this time.

In other words, your father really couldn't withstand the pressure.

She even gave her daughter some instructions on what she would need to do if Chairman Sakayanagi were to be ousted.

This force is definitely more terrifying than Nagumo's.

Hachiman frowned slightly.

Because.

Hopefully, this won't affect his and his sister's plans to earn money for their retirement.

After a day of classes, the students were given a day off as usual because it was the weekend.

In Hachiman, people go directly to the Shopping Street to find food in the morning.

Although the cafeteria offers a wide variety of food, it gets a bit monotonous after eating it every day.

Weekends are a time for Hachiman to change things up.

Because he gained a lot from his recent exam, Hachiman doesn't mind spending more money.

"So, you're going to treat me to dinner?"

Karuizawa found it unbelievable.

She is talking to Hachiman right now.

His explanation was that he would go to the Shopping Street first, and then she could go to him to find him.

"You came in handy in this exam," Hachiman said. "So consider this a small reward."

"..." Karuizawa. "So, are Horikita and Kushida going too?"

She also knew that the two of them had helped with the exam.

"No," Hachiman said.

"Oh," Karuizawa replied casually.

Hachiman thought she might not come, but she said, "Then wait a moment, I need half an hour."

"..." Hachiman.

???

Why does it take half an hour?

But.

Out of politeness, Hachiman decided to wait a moment. So he sat down on a bench to the side.

While waiting, I suddenly noticed a girl approaching from a distance.

They also seem to be heading towards the Shopping Street.

The other person seemed to be on the phone, kicking pebbles while looking at the ground.

This is a second-year student with long orange hair. She is wearing a sunflower hair clip and looks a bit mature, but she is still quite pretty.

Hachiman knew about this upperclassman.

This is because this is the person in charge of Second-year Class A, who came in last place in the recent Forestry Exam.

Asahina Kokoro.

In other words, it was the girl from the Nagumo class who was sacrificed by him.

Only.

The other party was still at school, which means that Nagumo paid 20 million to protect them.

Nagumo is really rich.

However, there was still a message from the school on Hachiman's phone.

[Congratulations, Hachiman Hikigaya, you have become the second person in this school to collect 20 million Private Points.]

The fact that Nagumo could offer 20 million to waive the penalty of expulsion indicates that he had already raised 20 million.

However, Hachiman felt that Sakayanagi should be the first person to collect 20 million yen, and that if Nagumo had 20 million yen, the school would have sent a message.

Therefore, he cannot be considered a second person here.

I imagine Nagumo is the kind of person who doesn't keep all his points in his account.

Thinking this, Hachiman realized the other person was seriously talking on the phone, so he hid in the bushes.

"I already said I'm not interested. Isn't Horikita still the Student Council President?"

"I can consider the secretary's suggestion, but Ya, you've already resigned. As for Kiriyama ... have you taken him under control?"

"Ya, your thinking is outrageous. I know we were able to get out of Class B thanks to you, but you only invited me because I'm good-looking, right?"

"You just like hanging out with pretty girls."

"No, do you think guaranteeing my 20 million points is a condition for dating?"

"If you insist on threatening me with this 20 million, then I will choose to drop out of school."

"I'm sorry, Ya, I only ever thought of you as my childhood friend—"

As Asahina said this, the phone went dead.

It seems that [Ya] hung up the phone unilaterally.

However, her words already revealed enough information.

Kiriyama, who controls Kiriyama, was promoted from Class B, so the person she was talking to should be the former Student Council Vice President Nagumo Miyabi.

And, the reason why Miyabi Nagumo protects Asahina.

The two were childhood sweethearts.

At the same time.

Nagumo spent 20 million yen to secure Asahina he could confess his feelings to her, but she rejected him.

Somewhat surprisingly, is Nagumo also a simp?

However, it is clear that this was also Nagumo's own doing.

If Nagumo's own strategy hadn't gone wrong, Asahina wouldn't have been in crisis.

Then, the call was interrupted.

But Asahina-senpai continued...

"It seems that Manabu Horikita's successor is very likely to be Sakayanagi Arisu, a first-year student."

"Although Kiryu from Class B listens to Masashi, the score difference between our two classes has now narrowed."

"So, Ya, you're playing with fire. If you really push Kiriyama up there, we might not be safe either. Can our class really hold out until we graduate from third grade and still be in Class A?"

This senior student has a lot on her mind.

"However, the reason I came in last place this time is all because of that junior named Hachiman Hikigaya."

"If he doesn't show up, then our Class A side should be as safe as it gets."

What follows sounds like a complaint.

Hachiman felt it was really good that he had hidden himself away.

It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I'm worried the other person might hold a grudge.

Just as he knew this second-year senior, she must have also gone to find out why she had fallen to last place.

Then the investigation turned to Hachiman.

After all, he didn't hide anything from anyone when he went to Third-year Class A to sign the agreement.

Asahina-senpai didn't notice Hachiman hiding to the side, so she finished her call and continued on her way.

Hachiman emerged from the bushes.

I just avoided Asahina, but that doesn't mean I got nothing. At least I got something. Nagumo really didn't give up. He's ambitious and wants to push Kiriyama up to be the leader.

Then he'll either stay behind the scenes or wait for Manabu Horikita to leave the school and for another election to be held so he can return to power.

Hmm.

So, Horikita's brother, why don't you be more assertive and use your Student Council President authority to expel Nagumo?

Hachiman knew he had angered Nagumo this time.

Therefore, if Kiriyama really takes office, he will definitely exercise his privilege as Student Council President and expel a student.

If it's not him, then it's Sakayanagi.

He offended Nagumo, causing Nagumo's plan to fail.

Sakayanagi is Nagumo's competitor. If you eliminate your competitor, then you will have no competitors.

Both are good options.

From this perspective.

Hachiman sighed softly.

Because.

In the end, the votes in his class went to Classmate Sakayanagi.

I originally planned to sell the candidate slots I got from Horikita's brother to Kiriyama.
