Chapter 380
While editing a message for Chabashira-sensei, he casually said, "Actually, you didn't have to give me any Appreciation Vote just now. Sato, you seemed a little nervous just now, and you probably wanted to ask for Appreciation Vote, right?"
Hachiman felt he was not in danger, so he could give the Appreciation Vote to those who needed them.
He sensed that Sato seemed a bit stressed and uneasy.
So this ticket should be given to her.
"Huh?" Sato, who had been looking at her phone and preparing to leave, quickly sat down. She had huddled with her sisters, who were also worried about being criticized.
"Can I have it?" Sato asked. "But, Hachiman, won't this affect you?"
"I... I don't think so." But then, it was Sakura who replied, "Hachiman should be safe, because there are probably a lot of girls in the class, and a lot of them will give him Appreciation Vote."
After she said that, everyone looked at her.
"Because... well..." Sakura seemed a little embarrassed, "I think Hachiman is quite popular among the girls in our class right now."
In other words, the girls' votes were actually based on whether he was handsome or not?
Indeed.
Hachiman Hikigaya is currently wearing green-rimmed glasses.
It was a gift from Sakura; it was definitely her doing.
If Sato wins the Appreciation Vote from the group members and avoids the criticism votes, then he won't need to team up with others.
So she was a little curious. "Who do Sakura think will vote for Hachiman Hikigaya?"
"First of all, Horikita will definitely vote for Hachiman, right?" Sakura said.
OK
Sato decided it was best to leave.
Actually, Hachiman bringing Horikita along today made her a little uncomfortable.
And now, having to listen to their love stories is truly agonizing.
But now is not the best time to leave.
So I had no choice but to stay.
"..." Horikita remained silent.
She has three Appreciation Vote. She just promised to vote for Yukimura, and she would certainly give them to Hachiman Hikigaya if he wanted them, but she doesn't think Hachiman Hikigaya is in any danger.
Everyone accepted the relationship between the two, so there was no objection.
But very quickly.
"Actually, I think Karuizawa will also give Hachiman Appreciation Vote," Sakura added.
"Why?"
"Because once when I went to the third floor, I saw Karuizawa helping Hachiman queue up to buy food."
Is that so?
There was indeed one time when Hachiman made Karuizawa queue up.
At that time, he had successfully been promoted to Class A, and he no longer needed to hide the fact that he also had a puppy from Sakayanagi.
So they took him out to confront Kamuro.
But was it that you witnessed it on that particular occasion?
"Are there any other possibilities?" Hachiman glanced at Sato out of the corner of his eye, then asked. "Back then, I was facing off against Classmate Sakayanagi, so I couldn't lose face. That's why I asked Karuizawa for help."
Oh.
Sato nodded.
She's part of Karuizawa gang.
But did you have no idea that Karuizawa and Hachiman Hikigaya had such a deal before? However, Classmate Sakayanagi was the original representative of Class A, and Hachiman had also been striving for Class A, so it's normal for them to compete against each other.
So you know that Hachiman and Classmate Sakayanagi ate together a long time ago, and it turns out they've been battling each other since then.
Sato felt that the class competition was really tough.
"Then I think Kushida will also give Hachiman Appreciation Vote," Sakura added.
"..." Hachiman.
"..." Horikita.
Horikita paused for a moment upon hearing the name.
"Why do you think Kushida would give me Appreciation Vote, Sakura? Doesn't she get along well with all the boys in the class?" Hachiman asked.
Kushida is everyone's angel. She treats everyone equally.
It's almost unimaginable who she would target.
I never expected her to praise someone separately.
And the person who would give it would definitely be a close friend like Meiyu Wang.
If she had to write down a boy's name, she'd probably only write someone like Hirata. Because someone like Hirata is very popular, he wouldn't be considered for her three Appreciation Vote.
Therefore, Kushida's vote here is for the most popular candidate.
Is it his turn?
Hachiman is certain that Sakura is unaware of his relationship with Kushida.
"I feel it's a little different," Sakura said. "Kushida is a very nice person. But I think if we were to vote for a boy, Kushida would choose Hachiman. I think she's different from Hachiman; she often turns to look at Hachiman."
"..." Hachiman.
Sakura sat in the back row, while Kushida sat in the front row, so the actions of those in the front row were easily captured.
And it wasn't just once that Hachiman noticed Kushida turning around to look at him.
Hachiman suddenly noticed that the gazes of his companions around him had changed.
She seemed to be looking at the scumbag. Then she looked at Horikita with some sympathy.
But I have a clear conscience.
He did not associate with Horikita.
So Hachiman quickly ended the topic by saying, "If Kushida votes for me, that would be really lucky."
It seems there's nothing wrong.
"In class, that's about all I can think of." But Sakura had just said that Hachiman would get a lot of Appreciation Vote from the girls in the class, and then she listed three names.
Instead, he added, "But, but I think Hachiman can still get other votes."
Oh?
Everyone has one ticket for the other class, so is Hachiman going to get a ticket for the other class?
Sakura continued, "Rule number five states that in addition to the three votes of praise and three votes of criticism for classmates, each person will receive an extra Appreciation Vote, which must include the names of people from other classes. In other words, people from other classes can vote for us with their Appreciation Vote."
"And, I think there will definitely be Student Council vote for Hachiman."
"For example, I think Ichinose from Class A would also vote for Hachiman Ichinose," Sakura said.
"Why, why..." Yukimura said immediately.
Because Ichinose is everyone's Archangel.
Although Ichinose is still embroiled in the previous rumors, news has also emerged about Ichinose's past.
However, even knowing all this, no one disliked her.
Rather, it gives the impression that Ichinose is also a human being. However, it makes her feel even more alive and vibrant.
Yukimura remains Ichinose.
"That, that last night..." Sakura seemed to be carefully choosing her words.
Although he didn't finish speaking.
But.
Wow.
Hachiman is truly impressed by Sakura.
Because Ichinose came to his dorm to clean last night, and although Ichinose came secretly, Sakura still saw him.
"I think it's normal for Ichinose to vote for Hachiman Hikigaya." However, Horikita said at this moment, "Because our two classes formed an alliance during the previous class competition, and although Ichinose's class is in Class A, Class B is very close to her, so she definitely needs our help. At least we won't attack her."
"So she'll try to make things better," Horikita said.
Um.
Hachiman was just thinking about how to explain, but after Horikita said that, everyone calmed down.
I think it's a strategy for class confrontation.
And Archangel Ichinose remains Archangel. She hasn't fallen in love, nor does she harbor any feelings for anyone.
Yukimura felt relieved.
"So, does Sakura have anyone else?" Yukimura felt he needed to quickly move on from Ichinose's topic.
"As for the others..."
"Um, at the library—" Sakura said.
Um.
Hachiman confirmed this once again: Sakura really is quite something.
It almost destroyed his social network.
The person in the library likely refers to Shiina. And if you want to find Shiina, you definitely have to go to the library.
So it's not surprising that we met.
"I saw Ryuen from Class D— " Sakura said. "I saw Ryuen go to borrow a book once, and then stare at Hachiman from afar."
Oh.
Ryuen.
This is not necessary.
Hachiman isn't interested in getting the Ryuen ticket, and Sakura might be mistaken about this. This time, someone has to drop out of school, though there might be a 20 million yen protection fee.
However, he doesn't think Class D would choose to spend 20 million.
Why spend more when 2 million can solve the problem?
And.
There was actually someone in Ryuen 'Ryuen's class who wanted to drop out.
Therefore, Ryuen will probably sell the Appreciation Vote for other classes to those who need them.
Then there's no spare capacity to give tickets to others.
So while Sakura's sixth sense is very strong, it's not always accurate.
Hachiman thought to himself.
But Sakura didn't stop there; she was about to say that she had seen Hachiman talking to a silver-haired girl many times in the library.
However, Hasebe, suddenly interjected, "I think we shouldn't continue discussing this topic now."
Hachiman looked at her.
"Um, Hachiman, Classmate Sakayanagi seems to be looking this way." Hasebe explained the reason without hesitation.
Really.
A cute girl with short silver hair walked towards us.
"Hachiman declined my invitation; oh, you're with your friends." Classmate Sakayanagi was quite polite. "What interesting topic are you discussing? Can I join in?"
Hachiman glanced at his phone.
Indeed.
