Chapter 364
Not only did they fail to attack Sakayanagi Arisu, but they also failed to garner votes from Class Ichinose.
Although there were some results.
That is, he spent 6 million to get the votes for Ryuen's class.
At the same time, he arranged for the Ryuen's class to be his tools to complete this task targeting Ichinose.
But.
Neither he nor Kiriyama are currently the Vice President of the Student Council; in other words, they have both lost the opportunity to run for the next Student Council President.
So.
Buying votes is no longer effective.
So they lost 6 million.
In addition...
Nagumo began to feel pain.
In addition, becoming the Student Council President gives one the power to expel a student.
So he's probably already on Sakayanagi's dismissal list.
He doesn't want that!
Having finally made it to this place, he didn't want to be expelled like this.
"Go and prepare for the exam!"
Then Nagumo suddenly spoke.
This isn't about getting back on your feet; it's about the will to survive.
He spent 20 million yen on Asahina during the previous Forestry Exam to prevent her from dropping out of school, and this time he gave Ryuen 6 million yen, so he's now out of points.
But.
Don't forget, he's still the representative for the second year.
So.
There is still a chance to raise another 20 million to protect oneself.
Ignoring Nagumo, Hachiman went to the class evaluation score panel on the first floor.
He didn't come here on purpose; rather, Sakayanagi sent him a message.
I hope to meet you.
At this time, no Student Council come here.
Class A (Class Ichinose) 1298.1 points
Class B (Horikita's class): 1185.7 points
Class C (Sakayanagi Class) 1150 points
Class D (Ryuen Class) 0 points
The score remains the same.
Hachiman didn't have to wait long.
"...This is truly applause-worthy." Holding a cane, Sakayanagi met Hachiman, who had been waiting there. "I must say, you did a fantastic job this time."
"Contacting the school directly is definitely a good approach."
"Sakayanagi said."
Hachiman's approach of contacting the school administration to exert pressure is a very effective strategy, and to achieve this, the matter needs to be blown out of proportion.
If it's not a big deal, the school won't get involved.
As a result, rumors spread, causing a lot of trouble for students, and the Student Council did nothing about it, so some people went to the Board of Directors.
Of course, that's not what Sakayanagi wanted to ask.
However, just as Sakayanagi was about to continue talking to Hachiman Hikigaya, a little angel with short blonde hair rushed over.
This is Kikyo Kushida.
"Classmate Sakayanagi, may I borrow Hachiman for a moment?"
Kushida appeared directly and, rather forcefully, snatched Hachiman away without waiting for Sakayanagi's response.
Because.
Kushida is really fucking Hachiman Hikigaya now.
In this incident Ichinose, Hachiman Hikigaya said he hoped she could help.
The first thing to break was the rumor about her and Hachiman Hikigaya.
[Hachiman Hikigaya and Kikyo Kushida sign their marriage registration form together, promising to get married after graduation. Kushida will then support him.]
Hey, hey, hey.
Isn't this a fait accompli?
It just so happened that it was leaked out like that.
Kushida was stunned when he heard this.
Although she did sign the marriage registration form, she didn't say she wanted the news to leak out, as it would directly ruin her relationships.
So all she could do was pretend to be so angry that she cried.
It appears to be a denial.
I was really so angry I almost cried.
Because of the next rumor.
[Hachiman Hikigaya and Kushida plan to get married after graduation and have three children. They've already chosen names for their kids: Yu and Makoto for boys, and Sora and Sekai for girls.]
So, does that Hachiman Hikigaya actually wants her to have three children? He's even already come up with names for them.
And that's not all.
There are still some.
This sudden surge of rumors actually included some of the information she had obtained.
For example, Ishizaki's girlfriend liked Hashimoto and then broke up with Ishizaki.
She knew about this, and only she knew it.
The girl told Ishizaki that she had fallen for her classmate, Komiyama.
Therefore, Komiyama often felt sorry for Ishizaki.
Who knew that Komiyama was just someone she pushed out as a shield?
So Kushida is now being questioned by this girl about whether she's talking nonsense.
This means that Kushida's credibility is declining.
Although he managed to fool them in the end, Kushida still found out.
These rumors about Hachiman Hikigaya weren't all baseless; some of them came from her. To be precise, this guy was listening in when she was venting her frustrations.
Not only that.
Only when she learned that the school had promoted her to Class A and stopped the rumors from spreading further did she realize... that she had become the most tragic victim.
Yes.
Kushida got tricked.
Kikyo Kushida got really screwed over.
"Classmate Sakayanagi, may I borrow Hachiman for a moment?"
Thus, she didn't prepare Sakayanagi Arisu and simply took Hachiman away.
After all, she was completely unable to calm down right now.
Meanwhile, Kushida finally realized what was going on, and Hachiman obediently followed her. The two quickly found a relatively secluded place where few people usually came.
"Hachiman Hikigaya!"
Kushida the little angel completely revealed her anger, without any attempt to hide it, because this guy... this guy... could be said to have directly ruined her life.
She was popular, loved, and trusted by everyone, so she had access to all sorts of people's secrets, past mistakes, or embarrassing stories.
But.
Now.
She was terribly scammed.
Information is a weapon, and now that the school is prohibiting the spread of rumors, isn't that... preventing her, who has a lot of information to leak, from leaking it?
He did help Ichinose, that's true. Rumors were banned, so no one dared to talk about them, even if it meant expulsion. But if she needed to use rumors as a weapon in the future, then those rumors would become ineffective.
Nobody dares to discuss it.
Therefore, her most powerful weapon was sealed away.
This isn't about saving Ichinose all; it's clearly a trap for her!
Her only weapon was thus sealed away.
Then her attack power Kushida the little angel also became 0.
"Isn't this a good thing?" Hachiman reached for her hand, but Kushida immediately pulled it away, so Hachiman continued, "This way, you will become a trustworthy comrade for our side."
"Instead of possessing the properties of a bomb."
"..."
This is utter nonsense.
"..." Kushida wasn't about to calm down. "I don't want to! And Hachiman Hikigaya, don't you think you've gone too far? I signed an agreement with you, but you're trying to trick me for Ichinose's sake!"
"Because Ichinose's conditions are the same as yours," Hachiman said. "She also signed the agreement."
"..." Kushida.
???
????????????????????
"Huh!?" Kushida finally realized what was going on. "You mean, Ichinose also agreed to marry you after graduation? And support you?"
"Yes, so isn't it normal for me to help her?"
"Then why me?" Kushida, clearly dissatisfied.
"Because this is the most direct and fastest solution," Hachiman said.
Snort.
It is indeed the fastest solution.
To nip the rumors in the bud means to prevent them from continuing to be discussed and to stop them from taking root. Kushida certainly knew this.
Only.
Isn't that very dangerous?
Kushida signed the marriage agreement with Hachiman in a bad mood, but she had also considered marrying him after graduation. She felt that it would definitely not be a pleasant experience.
But now.
There's Ichinose's even better than her.
She suddenly sensed a crisis.
"So..." she said. "Will you choose to marry Ichinose when you graduate?"
"The choice in this matter is not mine, but hers," Hachiman said.
Is that so?
