Adapt to the Situation and Make Good Use of It! 6k (Today's Guaranteed Update) (continued)

And.

Hachiman clearly saw that one of the letters was written by a girl.

However, since Hachiman has already seen that Ichinose is liked by Chihiro Shiranam, it's not surprising that Kushida also has female fans.

These are all signs of their high popularity.

He also knew very well that writing more letters would be useless.

Kushida is completely opposed to dating.

However, with so many love letters to reject, her dissatisfaction will increase, so this weekend I'll have to spend time alone with her to let her vent her emotions.

Feeling that his weekend was being taken up, Hachiman put the newly bought scarf into Kushida's mailbox.

Then I took out my phone.

Send the message: "[I sent you a gift, it's in your inbox, please retrieve it yourself]"

Then you can only continue searching for another mailbox.

He couldn't be sure who he would marry upon graduation, and it was clearly unfair to prepare a gift for only one person to keep warm.

Especially.

If the person who ultimately gets married doesn't prepare a gift for the other, and then at the wedding, is asked by the emcee about their relationship, they'll be left speechless. They might not even have exchanged gifts.

This is a very awkward situation.

Hachiman doesn't consider himself a considerate person, but he should at least be a thoughtful one.

Thinking this way.

He quickly searched for the mailbox in Class Ichinose.

However, since it was his first time doing something like this, he wasn't very skilled at it.

So after submitting his submission, he breathed a sigh of relief and was just thinking that he should leave it at that for now. He went to get his backpack from his dorm room when he bumped into Honami Ichinose, who was walking out of the main gate.

Ichinose looked as if she had seen something she shouldn't have.

"Good morning... Hachiman Hikigaya... Hachiman." Perhaps because no one else was present, she did not address him Hachiman.

Suddenly my name was called.

It was a name that my family members or my younger sister used to call me, and my sister even used "Hachiman" as an insult.

However, being called out by a girl who wasn't a family member Hachiman Hikigaya instinctively feel embarrassed.

"Yes, good morning," Hachiman replied somewhat shyly.

Because exams were approaching, and he also felt that Ryuen might sabotage Class Ichinose, but as a student in Class C, he had no reason to warn Ichinose.

And.

Although Ichinose's class and Horikita's brother's class are very similar, they both strive to have at least one less classmate.

However, Hachiman did not believe that Ichinose's class could achieve the same level as Manabu Horikita's class.

Because Ichinose isn't as strong as Manabu Horikita.

At the same time.

Soon, first-year students will be enrolled.

It's still uncertain whether there are any overly aggressive freshmen like him who might then set their sights on exploiting upperclassmen.

When the time comes, Nagumo's grade will be third grade, so we won't need to worry about him. However, in the second grade, Class Ichinose will become the easiest target to bully.

So.

Please grow a little bit by the end of this semester, Ichinose.

However, I usually only run into Ichinose when I go to school, so it's quite a coincidence that I met Ichinose before it was even 7 o'clock.

"Uh... um—"

Today, Ichinose turned her head slightly away, as if trying to avoid his gaze.

"After waking up, I went for a short walk. I just got back now," she said absentmindedly, her gaze clearly not on him.

Based on Hachiman's understanding of her, she probably saw him putting Matoba in the mailbox. He just didn't know when she saw it, whether she only saw him put something in her mailbox, or saw him put things in Kushida's mailbox, or simply saw him delivering something without seeing who it was to.

"..." Hachiman didn't say anything.

Because it wasn't a good occasion, he told Ichinose he and Kushida had signed a contract before her.

He also told Ichinose that she would have the choice when Ichinose graduated, and if she refused to marry him, his financial support for her could be considered an investment.

At that time, he would choose to marry Kushida.

However, Ichinose did not completely refuse to graduate and marry him.

So the relationship between the two is quite delicate now.

Ichinose didn't strike up a conversation either.

They neither questioned nor left.

This is quite obvious.

She probably wanted to check her mailbox before going back to the dorm.

"... Then please."

Hachiman made way so that she could see the mailbox.

After thanking him, Honami went to his mailbox.

Although she and Kushida are both popular girls with various friends, she is very considerate.

But.

She is also somewhat different from Kushida. Kushida is very protective of her position as a friend, knowing what she cannot do and what she can do that would hurt the other person's feelings for her. Therefore, she will restrain herself from doing such things.

For example.

Seeing him put things in the mailbox, Kushida wouldn't ask to see the mailbox directly, but Ichinose is different.

She probably wanted to make sure that she, who shared the same stance as Kushida, hadn't been overlooked.

When Ichinose opened the mailbox, the gift that Hachiman had put in earlier was immediately revealed.

"Call--"

You could hear her let out a soft sigh of relief.

They must be relieved now.

"That--"

Watching Ichinose's actions, Hachiman had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yesterday, Horikita gave me a scarf. He criticized me for not keeping warm when the weather changes."

"Horikita— "

Actually, Ichinose always felt that Hachiman and Horikita were inseparable.

Even her students thought that Hachiman Hikigaya and Horikita were dating.

"Then, considering that I lost to her in terms of being a good househusband, I learned a little bit," Hachiman said. "The weather is getting colder, so I prepared a warm scarf for you."

Meow.

So, is Hachiman actually preparing for marriage?

Ichinose's cheeks flushed.

"Um, actually, you didn't have to wait for me to receive a gift." Ichinose held the wrapped scarf in her hands, seemingly a little embarrassed, her smooth cheeks turning slightly red. "According to a book I read before, you should return the favor if you receive a gift. And it's February now. In ten days, it will be February 14th."

Her voice trailed off, "So, what gift do you want—"

"Forehead..."

Hachiman hadn't expected to receive a return gift.

Ichinose is such a good girl.

Sure enough, he admitted that his initial motivation for sponsoring Ichinose was partly due to his trust in her character and partly because he didn't want to see her get into trouble. Honami Ichinose was very charming.

It's hard to resist.

But.

Ichinose told him that there were some problems with the students in Class D.

Several students from Class D have been following her students for the past two days.

Shibata and Kanzaki were given special attention, and she herself was constantly being followed around.

That is, they were not followed after returning to the dormitory, but the students from Class D followed them after school in the afternoon or after leaving the classroom.

"It's very troubling," Ichinose said. "I've tried to talk to them and tell them to stop doing this, but they've all refused."

"And since they simply followed without committing any violence, it is impossible to prosecute them."

Quite strange.

Ichinose thought so too.

I can't understand what the students in Class D are trying to do.

"Has the list of these people been finalized?" Hachiman asked.

"Yes, yes." Ichinose nodded. "There's Ishizaki, Kondo, Komiyama, Ibuki, and others."

The names listed are those who have done all sorts of shady things under the auspices of Ryuen.

At the same time, he's the kind of person who draws the attention of other classes with the slightest movement.

"We've already chosen the events for this competition." The only thing that reassured Ichinose was that the events they were considering were advantageous to Class A. Whether it was individual sports competitions or Academic Ability tests, Class A had the upper hand.

All they can do now is fight seriously.

The students in Class A are upright and honest.

Um.

Listening to Ichinose's words, Hachiman understood that Ichinose and Ryuen's class had already lost the battle.

Because in this school, naive and innocent people cannot survive.

Normal school hours.

Kushida and her best friend Meiyu Wang took the elevator down from the dormitory.

"Komi, wait for me a moment."

Kushida and her companions had already stepped out of the elevator and were heading towards the door, but then, as if remembering something, she told Meiyu Wang to go first.

She then went to her private mailbox.

For Kushida, every day there was either purgatory or a treasure trove.

If someone confides in her, it means her Kushida Empire has gained a new subject.

Of course, it's also possible that someone simply wanted to confess their feelings to her.

There are especially many confessions during holidays.

But Kushida absolutely did not want this. So he refused everything.

Moreover, some people have no self-awareness whatsoever; they confess their feelings without even considering their own appearance or whether they are attractive enough.

So I guess I'll have to find Hachiman Hikigaya again this weekend.

The pressure from this week has been building up.

Kushida thought this through quickly, then opened her mailbox.

She received a message from Hachiman, who sent her a gift.

Um.

Let's see what it is.
