Sakayanagi, Why Are You Here? You Know This Violates School Rules, Right? (Continued)

Unfortunately, Sakayanagi is now using his old elegant demeanor.

There is no sign of wavering.

So Kushida continued,

"The marriage agreement is fake, because who would bring something like that to school?"

"At the same time."

"Signing now would be very disadvantageous for me."

"I couldn't possibly be that stupid," Kushida said. "Besides..."

"I'm not the best candidate for Hachiman Hikigaya," Kushida said. "He'd probably give it a try to be any girl who meets his requirements to be a stay-at-home husband."

"Then he really is a sinner," Sakayanagi said.

At the same time, considering that Hachiman now has more than 20 million points, it's natural that he can choose a different person.

So that's exactly how it is, isn't it?

This time, it's unreasonable that Hachiman Hikigaya intervened so early and offered a Student Council President position along with only 5 million yen.

At the same time, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be so proactive.

Unless there's some prize to entice him.

Was the purpose of capturing Ichinoseki Nagaho?

Judging from the results, Ichinose was able to rise from the ashes in a short time, which means she was definitely "saved" by someone.

Hachiman Hikigaya, Ichinose is indeed better than Kushida in every aspect.

Then he would be a more suitable person to support him.

In particular, Ichinose is more reliable than Kushida in terms of character.

"Are there any other questions?" Kushida asked.

"That's all, thank you for your hard work today," Sakayanagi said. "This Hachiman Hikigaya's methods have diminished your usefulness as well."

"..." Kushida.

Right?

That makes her useless.

Snort.

She knew that Sakayanagi was revealing his true intentions.

The school acted quickly; after announcing a ban on rumors yesterday, the school is now completely clear.

No one dared to continue the conversation.

Two more days passed, and Hachiman was having lunch with Horikita in the cafeteria.

With exams approaching, Hachiman is still studying in Horikita's group.

Of course, it's to set an example.

Make an effort now, then be awesome during the exam, and inspire other students to believe that hard work can lead to good grades.

That is indeed the case, but many people become complacent and give up when they don't see immediate success.

So it's not entirely a scam.

But after Hachiman Hikigaya, he suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"It seems like the room key was lost."

"..." Horikita. "Then let's check the Student Council's lost and found."

The correct approach is to recall where the room key might be located or lost, just like how Asahina-senpai lost her Omamori and went back the way she came to find it.

So.

Actually Horikita's little sister, you really wanted to see how your brother was doing.

Because the Student Council President was suddenly called back, I'm a little worried about my brother's Special Exam this month.

However, in reality, the school will no longer give third-grade students Special Exam with a score exceeding 500 points, so Third-year Class A is definitely a safe bet.

However, Hachiman felt that his memory was pretty good and that things weren't so easy to lose, so he decided to accompany Horikita on the trip.

Because he lost his room key, Hachiman accompanied Horikita's little sister to the Student Council.

"Why is it you guys—"

I did run into an acquaintance at the entrance.

A cute girl with a single golden ponytail.

Kei Karuizawa.

"I lost my room key, so I came to check if they had it," Hachiman said.

"Then it really is yours." Kei Karuizawa stretched out her left hand and handed over a yellow room key.

"I was summoned by the student council president. He said there was a room key that looked like yours at the lost and found," Karuizawa said. "The room key was found by a student from First Year Class C."

Hachiman glanced at the number on the room card.

It was indeed his room number.

Profound.

Horikita's brother worried about me.

How did Horikita's brother know his room number?

This was also the first time that Hachiman had brought Horikita's little sister to meet Manabu Horikita.

Previously, there were concerns that Suzune Horikita might have a negative impact on Manabu Horikita, but now there's no need to worry.

A girl who climbed from Class D to Class A is really impressive.

At least it won't embarrass Manabu Horikita.

Currently, only Manabu Horikita is in the Student Council.

He is dealing with a backlog of documents.

Hachiman then gently patted Suzune Horikita on the shoulder, leaving the time for the brother and sister.

He stood outside the door like a gentleman, only to find that Karuizawa had not left.

"This time..." Karuizawa seemed to have something he wanted to ask.

But he seemed to be hesitant again.

"Go ahead and say it," Hachiman said understandingly.

"Um, your rumor—" Karuizawa finally asked.

I see.

It was probably a rumor deliberately spread by Hachiman that he and Kushida would get married after graduation.

Rumors need to contain elements of truth, and then embellishments.

But Hachiman felt there was another possibility.

That is, even if it is true, if some people find it unbelievable, then it will be regarded as a rumor.

So he calmly told Kushida about the promise he had made.

Although I often hear Kushida rambling on about the gossip among his classmates, many people can use it as material for rumors.

However, Hachiman's purpose in attacking these classmates was not intentional.

So they only chose the secrets of one or two key figures to spread as rumors.

"That's not a rumor," Hachiman said. "Didn't I ask you about it before?"

Hachiman ask her about it?

Of course I asked.

Ask her about her future plans. Then ask her if she would be willing to support him after graduation if she were given 20 million yuan.

Karuizawa did not respond at the time.

But now.

"I didn't expect Kushida to agree so readily." Upon hearing this news, Karuizawa seemed quite shocked.

"She has a need to be protected," Hachiman said. "So we made a deal."

"..." Karuizawa.

So wouldn't that make me just like her?

She also needs someone to assist her in order to put people at ease.

So, has Kushida replaced him in that position?

Karuizawa instantly regretted it.

But at that moment, Suzune Horikita had already left the office.

So Karuizawa felt too embarrassed to continue talking to Hachiman and quietly walked away.

"How is it?" Hachiman asked Horikita.

"My brother said he hopes to see me grow more," Horikita answered honestly.

It seems there shouldn't be any problems with this third-grade exam.

"Looking at my brother, he seems really nervous." But Suzune Horikita felt this way. "Or rather, I never expected my brother to have this side to him."

"In other words, the final crucial moment is particularly agonizing, for fear that one wrong step will wipe out all the previous efforts."

"Then we don't need to worry," Hachiman said. "Because our class won't be competing for Class A in the end, or as Class A, we'll be worried about being overtaken by the lower-ranked classes. So we won't experience that sense of urgency."

"..." Suzune Horikita.

Yes.

Class B is now completely rotten; it's difficult enough to keep most of them alive, let alone continue to catch up with Class A.

Horikita had already figured this out.

So.

"Besides."

Suzune Horikita asked about what was bothering her. "Is the matter with Ichinose really over?"

Is this the end?

I don't think so.

Because Hachiman still needs to go to the Chairman's Office to exchange his 5 million points for cash and then send it to the Ichinose family.

That's why he specially invited Suzune Horikita to dinner today.

That is... according to Ichinose's account, Hachiman discovered that Ichinose's mother must have been a very stubborn and strong-willed person.

However, it's also impossible to criticize the other party from the perspective of wealth.

Poverty is the original sin.

Poverty carries a shackle, preventing people from easily making mistakes and even making them more prone to losing self-esteem and increasing feelings of inferiority.

Therefore, even seemingly normal acts of kindness will be met with great suspicion from the other party.

Therefore.

Even if Hachiman converts the points into cash and distributes them in Ichinose's name, Ichinose's mother might not use the money.
