"But."

"You dare not atone to your friend," Hachiman said.

"Ah..." These words caused Hirata to instantly clutch his head in pain.

Hachiman looked around and was relieved that there was no one else there, otherwise he would have thought that he was bullying Hirata.

But Hirata's actions were so obvious, it was just as he expected.

Hirata turned a blind eye to his friend being bullied, which eventually led to serious consequences. He then regretted it and began to help other vulnerable people as if he were a savior.

But in reality... he always regretted the past, but he lacked the backbone to face the friends he hadn't helped.

"During the holidays, I wanted to leave school to see my family," Hachiman said. "Then I was told that I needed to pay 500,000 points, and that 500,000 points was only for one day."

"You can buy anything at this school using points."

"So, you can choose to leave school temporarily," Hachiman said. "Go see your friend."

"Go see him, and you'll be able to make a choice you won't regret," Hachiman said.

As he said this, Hachiman noticed his phone vibrate.

I received a text message.

He gave Kushida and Ichinose special ringtones for their text messages.

That's for sure.

One of these two people might marry him right after graduation.

That means she's your future partner.

It definitely needs to be treated with caution.

So, Hachiman Hikigaya he felt a little ashamed to give girls special ringtones, he felt it was necessary to single them out and treat them specially.

Now, the person sending the message is not Kushida, but Ichinose.

Um.

You can tell just by looking at Hachiman.

Since they were in the same grade, the exams were the same, so Ichinose also accepted the same rules from her homeroom teacher.

Then Class Ichinose is an enhanced version of the Third-year Class A, but Ichinose can only be described as a degraded version of Horikita's brother.

However, both sides should share the same ideals.

That is to protect our companions.

Therefore, they will resolutely commit to the 20 million points to protect their companions. They've also been planning ahead, both by cooperating to earn money during the previous Forestry Exam and by arranging for top students to tutor them for money during the recently concluded written exam.

All of this is to accumulate 20 million points, which can then be used when needed.

However, their class evaluation score is not very high. Even if they save half every month, they still cannot reach 20 million.

So.

Hachiman glanced at the message sent by Ichinose.

[Hachiman, are you free tonight?]

Um.

I understand.

Ichinose must have come to borrow money.

And now, Hirata.

He needs money to leave school.

"And 500,000 points a day—" Hachiman said. "We can go to the chairman of the board. This should be unprecedented in the school's history. The school's philosophy has always been to encourage students to broaden their thinking and respond flexibly, so this should work. We can borrow the money from the school to cover the cost of leaving the school."

"In other words..."

"Let's go outside the school and take a look," Hachiman said.

So Hirata went to the school and, because it was a novel idea to borrow money directly from the school, he was granted permission.

The Acting Chairman, Tsukishiro, gave him a note, saying that he knew his emotions were very unstable and hoped that he could deal with his emotional problems as soon as possible.

It fully demonstrates humanistic care.

In this way.

Hirata went to confront the side of his heart that he feared most, dared not do, and was most ashamed of.

Not long after Hachiman returned to his dormitory, he received a message from Hirata. The school had agreed, but he planned to travel again tomorrow.

Hachiman stayed in his dormitory.

After waiting for a while, someone came over.

The other party was very polite and rang the doorbell gently.

Hachiman then opened the gate.

"Hachiman, this is for you." Ichinose handed him a small package.

?

Hachiman looked at the thing Ichinose strange expression.

It's a small, packaged cake.

"I went out for dinner with some friends last night," Ichinose said. "Then, when we passed a cake shop, I bought this."

You're supposed to be having Class Vote to decide who gets expelled, but you guys still manage to relax and eat together?

"And then..." Ichinose seemed a little embarrassed. "You took a lot of care of me before."

"I have trouble making decisions, and I often stand in the store for a long time, so..."

Um.

So, does that mean keeping the past in your heart and expressing gratitude in the present?

So.

Ichinose, did you come here specifically to give me a gift?

Or is it...?

This is just a warm-up; people feel embarrassed to borrow money.

But Hachiman will probably lend it to her.

On one hand, he and Ichinose have a promise to get married after graduation; on the other hand, Ichinose's loan is a loan for the entire class, and Hachiman also has an agreement to get 98 points from Class Ichinose every month.

There's no need to fall out with such a rule-abiding and kind class.

Not only that.

If you lend them money, they will definitely be able to pay it back.

So this can be considered a timely help.

There's no reason not to lend it.

Really.

After inviting Ichinose in.

"Um..." Ichinose seemed to be about to ask.

"Hachiman." Ichinose hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

"You can speak," Hachiman said.

"Ah... um." But Ichinose seemed hesitant to speak, and finally, just as Hachiman was about to pour her some water, she spoke up. "What's your relationship with Classmate Sakayanagi?"

??

Ha?

Ichinose's wrong with you.

He invited you in because you were there to borrow money, but instead you asked him about your relationship with Classmate Sakayanagi?

Even as Ichinose left that evening, she did not mention borrowing money.

This makes one think.

This means that the 20 million yen shortfall in Class Ichinose has been filled by someone else.

So who does this kind of thing?

That's it.

Recalling the events of the past few days, Hachiman focused his attention on his classmates.

Chabashira-sensei said the results would be available in half an hour, but the waiting time would be agonizing... but it didn't happen.

Because their class also has its own leisure time.

Everyone noticed that Yamauchi had taken out a small notebook and started writing down everyone's names one by one.

"Yamauchi, what are you doing?"

"You all voted for me, didn't you!" Yamauchi said. "I'm going to write your names down!"

In other words, this is a little notebook for holding grudges.

Yamauchi, are you still a child?

But.

If nothing unexpected happens, then Yamauchi will be expelled from school.

Chi also looked coldly at Yamauchi.

He and Yamauchi met after enrolling in school and would often eat together.

But even though he was just trying to make friends and became friends with Yamauchi, and sometimes he really wanted to help Yamauchi, this person not only didn't appreciate it, but even thought he was jealous of him?

That's absolutely outrageous.

Plastic relationships don't just refer to fake sisters; fake brothers exist too.

Therefore, Chi has become able to remain indifferent to the situation within the Yamauchi.

However, after glancing at his phone, he still felt somewhat relaxed.

I just confirmed with a few people who are in a group together, and they did not vote for him.

Then you must be last in the Yamauchi, so you're safe.

At this moment, the school authorities...

"It seems there are no problems." A middle-aged man in a white suit looked at the surveillance footage on the monitor for a while, then stood up.

He was heading to the teacher's office. He had prepared the exam questions for this withdrawal exam, so he was also an examiner and naturally needed to confirm the results.

This is Advanced Nurturing High School.

A government-supported project is one that is launched and implemented by a particular prime minister.

Although several prime ministers have come and gone, this project has remained unchanged.

Rather, it achieved good results.

The elites who graduate from schools have temporarily alleviated the talent shortage in various industries.

So over time, this school became part of the resumes of successive prime ministers.

Tsukishiro does not deny the role of this school.

But he also didn't want to develop the school.

Well, how should I put it?

Although he is currently Acting Chairman, he does not intend to relinquish the "Acting Chairman" role; he has come with a mission.
