Goodbye, Nagumo! 6k guaranteed (continued)

Oh.

From this perspective, Nagumo appears to be upright and honest.

At that moment, Vice President Sakayanagi, who was sitting at the top, glanced at the area where the Second-year Class A team was lined up.

She had a points card in her hand.

"Drop!"

"The credit limit on the points card is 14 million."

I received this this morning.

Miyabi Nagumo's atonement money.

Nagumo probably knew very well that he had become her and Hachiman Hikigaya's enemy.

Therefore, in order to prevent Sakayanagi from gaining power and using the Student Council President's cash withdrawals to expel him, he had to resort to opportunistic tactics.

Yes.

Manabu Horikita is a fairly fair Student Council President who doesn't abuse his power, but Sakayanagi Arisu is different.

Nagumo was worried about being fired by her.

So I prepared the points in advance.

This was something he had been preparing for after learning that there was no hope for Kiriyama – to accumulate points, at least 20 million points, in case he was fired.

Unfortunately, time is too short, and he can only raise 16 million at this point.

There is still a shortfall of 4 million.

To get another 4 million, he would have to collect it from all the second-year students, which would definitely affect his reputation. So he won't do it until the very last minute.

However, after meeting with Sakayanagi today, Sakayanagi is more willing to agree.

It seems that they thought it was more appropriate for him to directly submit the points to her rather than fire him.

Indeed.

What would she gain by firing him?

There was nothing there, and the Student Council President even used up his authority to expel people.

The fact that the Student Council President can expel students is a significant deterrent.

If she uses it directly, her own defense will be reduced by 50%.

Therefore, keeping it is the best option.

So, Sakayanagi made a suggestion: he could continue to accumulate points, but there was no need to hand them over to the school to save his life. She could sign an agreement that she would not expel him after she became the Student Council President.

However, the price he offered was something he proposed when the first-year student was going to Uninhabited Island Exam: if she withdrew from the election, he would give her 14 million.

At that time, Sakayanagi demanded 20 million yen.

Now the situation has reversed.

Sakayanagi was about to become the president, but he lost his chance and now has to work hard to avoid being expelled.

Although he was very unhappy, Nagumo knew very well that Sakayanagi would not be as fair as Manabu Horikita.

Therefore, it is certain that he used his position to settle personal scores.

In this way.

He could only pay points and sign the agreement with Sakayanagi.

He paid 14 million to prevent her from using her authority to expel him from the Student Council President.

The points cards worth 14 million yen have been submitted to Sakayanagi, and he has also received a guarantee from Sakayanagi Arisu.

However, he also knew very well that Sakayanagi was not someone who would stop so easily. Leaving him behind must mean that he thought Sakayanagi could curb his second-year points, so he was not safe yet.

It's like having the Sword of Damocles hanging over your head.

But it's not hopeless.

The reason he lost so badly this time was partly because he lost the opportunity to run for Student Council President, and partly because Sakayanagi got 100 votes from the third-year students from the beginning.

So the votes are on Sakayanagi's side.

But.

Now the third-year students are graduating, and as the third-year students graduate, the first-year students enroll.

At that time.

If a first-year student can be turned against him, and if Sakayanagi makes a major mistake or scandal during his tenure as Student Council President, then...

There is still a chance.

So.

Today will pass, and he Nagumo, will still be Nagumo.

In this way.

Even though they clearly felt that Nagumo had lost miserably, the second-year students around Nagumo still noticed his confidence.

Meanwhile, on the summit platform, Sakayanagi Arisu scanned the points from her points card into her phone and then sent a message while sitting in her chair.

And below.

In the boys' line of First Year Class B, a boy wearing purple glasses lowered his head.

Someone transferred money to him.

Yes.

The notification sound for the payment arrival is different from the notification sound for other information.

Hachiman took out his phone and looked at it.

[Your account has received 7 million Private Points from BX Sakayanagi Arisu. Your current balance is 47.783 million.]

"..."

Hachiman checked the transfer notification.

Then I opened the chat software and sent a message to Sakayanagi.

The other party replied very quickly.

[Our agreement cannot be fulfilled. Nagumo has paid the protection fee, and I'm afraid I can't meet your demands. Here's a refund of half the protection fee.] by Sakayanagi.

"..." Hachiman.

An agreement?

Hachiman remembered that during the Ichinose rumor incident, he had bundled the votes of Hachiman 'Class Ichinose and his own class and sold them to Sakayanagi.

The cost is 5 million points.

Then she made Sakayanagi agree to a request: that she would drop out of Miyabi Nagumo after becoming the Student Council President.

However, since there are no other candidates now, Sakayanagi's vote-buying was actually a loss.

Only.

She's still so generous.

They paid 5 million, and then returned half of Nagumo's protection fee.

Hachiman accepted the transfer for the time being.

And while thinking like that.

I noticed that the top of the chat software displayed the words the other person was typing.

[Although I can't complete it even after receiving payment, it's not that no one can.] by Sakayanagi Arisu. [There is another person who can complete it.]

Another person.

Hachiman stared at the message sent by Sakayanagi and began to think.

Meanwhile, Manabu Horikita continued his speech.

"As you can see, the Vice President of the Student Council from Class A, First Year is my successor."

"I am someone who values personal talent, and I acknowledge that she is talented."

Manabu Horikita the way.

"Then logically, she should be announced as the next Student Council President now," Manabu Horikita said. "However, before that, there is someone who still holds the right to be a candidate for Student Council President."

"And now."

Manabu Horikita suddenly said, "First Year Class B, Hachiman Hikigaya, do you want to run for the next Student Council President?"

Good heavens!

Almost instantly, the man named Hachiman Hikigaya was surrounded by people who knew him and people who didn't.

Miyabi Nagumo, who was at the top of the class in the Second-year Class A, also turned her gaze over.

Yes.

Nagumo is now keeping an eye on things.

At the same time, the smile and confidence on his face were almost impossible to maintain.

Because he had already submitted a points card with 14 million points to Sakayanagi Arisu, and obtained an agreement that Sakayanagi would not fire him.

But.

If Sakayanagi cannot become the Student Council President, and instead Hachiman Hikigaya becomes the Student Council President.

So he's doomed?

You should know that he directly told Hachiman Hikigaya president, he would definitely drop out of school.

Nagumo also didn't believe that Hachiman Hikigaya would be so magnanimous.

So.

If Hachiman Hikigaya becomes the Student Council President, then Hachiman Hikigaya will definitely expel him.

If Hachiman Hikigaya becomes the Student Council President, he may have no choice but to submit 20 million points.

However, since 14 million has already been taken by Sakayanagi, his 20 million is... well, not quite. So he can still manage to scrape together the rest.

Because the agreement he signed with Sakayanagi was based on Sakayanagi Arisu being the Student Council President.

Therefore, since Sakayanagi is not the Student Council President, the points should be returned to him.

Giving him back the points might offend the grade level, but there's no other way now. Gathering another 4 million points might be enough to keep him.

Thinking this way, Nagumo felt a little more at ease.

But the students, who were a beat slower to react, took a moment to recover from their shock.

The first person is Suzune Horikita.

She had known for a long time that her brother valued Hachiman highly, but she never expected him to nominate her as a candidate for Student Council President.

The surrounding classmates also looked over with astonishment, surprise, and envy.

Because of the gazes of his classmates, even people who didn't know him before now knew where he was and what he looked like.

Hachiman considered it for a moment.

So he took the initiative to walk forward from the line.

Then, under the watchful eyes of all his classmates, he walked toward the podium.

It can be noticed that the students in Class A, who had been so excited and jubilant, froze.

They probably didn't expect a bug to appear in a situation where victory seemed assured.

Compared to them, who were impatient.

Hachiman glanced at Classmate Sakayanagi first.
