Goodbye, Manabu Horikita! Manabu: Yeah, I'll stop by your place early!

Sakayanagi Arisu also arranged for Kamuro to deliver the message.

To fulfill the promise made when she went to Class Ichinose, she decided to appoint Honami Ichinose from First Year Class C as her new Student Council secretary.

So, on that day, while the second-year students were keeping watch at the school gate, Nagumo left.

And on the second day.

Manabu Horikita fulfilled his promise and handed over the position of Student Council President.

As the Vice President, Hachiman wasn't as flamboyant as Nagumo; he simply placed his name tag on the table, but he did wear an armband.

An armband that reads "[Vice President]".

Sakayanagi stated that he must wear it in the Student Council.

Although it was unclear where Sakayanagi's competitive spirit came from, it wasn't a difficult task, Hachiman agreed.

In this way.

Manabu Horikita announced his resignation that afternoon, but that didn't mean he would really stop doing anything.

He also needs to prepare for the handover of his work.

Only.

I finished half of it, and it was already evening.

"Wait a moment."

As Hachiman was about to leave the office, Manabu Horikita called him back.

And now, not only is Manabu Horikita left in this room, but Secretary Akane Tachibana is also still here.

Hachiman immediately understood.

It's likely that Horikita's brother had something he wanted to say to him privately. And as an older brother himself, he probably understood what Manabu Horikita wanted to say.

"..." Akane Tachibana.

Akane Tachibana felt that the two of them were a bit strange.

However, since the president didn't let her leave, it means she can listen to what the president and Hachiman Hikigaya are saying next.

That's what she was thinking.

Then Manabu Horikita Hachiman.

"So, you specifically asked me to stay because you wanted to ask me to take care of your sister?"

"That's true."

Manabu Horikita nodded.

?

Akane Tachibana felt like something was off.

"It's already the 1st, and there are still nine days until the third-year students graduate."

"And we will leave the school on that day. Those who leave the school cannot re-enter unless they become employees of the school," Manabu Horikita said.

"And oranges."

Manabu Horikita looked at Akane Tachibana. "You said your number, could I have your phone number?"

"Um, sure."

Akane Tachibana then realized why she had been left behind.

She seemed somewhat reluctant, but she still wrote down a number and then wrote her name next to it.

Akane Tachibana.

Next to her name was a string of numbers.

In other words, this is Akane Tachibana- senpai's phone number, but it's not from the school; it's probably her number outside of school.

"Ju was somewhat wary before she was selected to enter this school."

"When she was admitted to this school, she received a cell phone from the school. It's the same model that you all have now. Even though the students already had cell phones, they still had to issue new ones and give each of them a new SIM card."

Manabu Horikita said, "She paid for three years' worth of phone bills for her original number beforehand, so she can still contact her now."

In other words...

If you need anything at school or if you leave school, you can call this number to contact him.

It's likely that Akane Tachibana herself gave her number to Manabu Horikita, hoping that Manabu Horikita would contact her after graduation.

But.

Now Manabu Horikita will give him this number.

You can have him call Akane Tachibana- senpai's phone number to contact Manabu Horikita.

"..." Hachiman.

Looking at the phone number handed to him, Hachiman felt a pang of pain in his liver.

Because.

Yesterday, the order for Nagumo's expulsion was issued by Manabu Horikita.

At that time, Sakayanagi said that Manabu Horikita also had his own selfish motives, but Hachiman felt that Manabu Horikita was very fair, but now...

Is Manabu Horikita really a straight man?

Didn't you see that Akane Tachibana- senpai was a bit conflicted?

"If you want to get in touch," Hachiman said. "You can contact me, Ichimokuta."

Hachiman then took out his pen and paper.

He wrote down a string of numbers.

Then there is another address.

"Actually, since the president didn't ask me to stay today, there's something I hope you can help me with," Hachiman said.

"During the last semester's holiday, my homeroom teacher left the school, and I asked her to help me bring the cash I had exchanged with the school back home."

"And now."

"She won't be leaving school this holiday, so, Akane Tachibana- senpai, your phone number is also in Chiba's area code, right? Could you do me this favor?"

"Are you sending money home again?" Senior Akane Tachibana was taken aback.

"Hmm." Hachiman nodded. "Some people might think this school is too strict, but I think it's paradise where you can earn a good salary."

Yes, that's right.

You took more than 30 million from their Third-year Class A.

Akane Tachibana herself ate the mountain vegetable set meal for three months.

And it's also clear who took all the points.

From this perspective, it's reasonable for Hachiman to take out his earnings outside of school, given how much he's earned.

"If that's your request, I have no objection," Akane Tachibana said.

Although the other party had taken so much money from their class, it cannot be denied that it was their own shortcomings, and also hers. During the Forestry Exam, she completely failed to see through Nagumo and Class B's intentions.

It almost put the class in danger, and then made all the efforts of the class and Horikita over the past three years go to waste.

"However, I need to exchange a lot of cash..."

"But isn't it a bit dangerous for Akane Tachibana to be carrying so much cash all by herself?" Hachiman said.

"Then I'll help too," Manabu Horikita said, adjusting his glasses.

"Then there's no problem." Hachiman nodded.

That's all the help he can offer.

Just when Hachiman felt he could leave, Manabu Horikita said something else.

"Since you're planning to exchange points and take them home, are you interested in earning another million?"

Oh?

Hachiman then looked over.

Chapter 47 Goodbye, Manabu Horikita! Manabu Horikita: Yeah, I'll go to your house ahead of time!

Earning another million means that Manabu Horikita has some other request for him to complete?

Hachiman quickly looked over.

Manabu Horikita adjusted his glasses and continued, "It's a request related to my sister."

"Although she has been enrolled for a year and seems to have grown, I don't think she can adapt well to this school."

"And you, you'll probably abandon your class in second grade, right?"

Abandoning a class means striving for higher goals, and Hachiman is going to skip a class.

Hachiman Hikigaya can leave, but Suzune Horikita will remain where she is. That means no one will care for her younger sister.

From this perspective, Horikita's brother's considerations are correct.

Hachiman did not hide anything.

"Right now, First-year Class D is raising money to buy me to go there," Hachiman said. "And once they've gathered the points, I'll go to Class D."

"Class D, huh?"

Hearing this answer, Manabu Horikita smiled slightly. "I thought you would wait for the students in Class A to buy you over, so you could make history by bringing students from Class D to Class A. I thought the students in Class A had already accepted you."

"Class A has already bought it," Hachiman said. "But I refused."

"Is that so?"

"Because I feel there's no passion or drive in Class A. I like the feeling of slowly struggling and climbing up from the bottom," Hachiman said. "It's like a comeback."

But Manabu Horikita shook his head.

"It's because going to Class A is just icing on the cake, but going to Class D would be a lifeline. And you can get a huge number of points from Class D. Class A won't really use you much after buying you; they'll just feel secure once they have you. So it's almost impossible for you to get a huge number of points from them. You're just choosing the side with the higher value."

"..." This statement leaves one speechless, hence the saying.

Even Manabu Horikita has a smooth side, doesn't he?

"So let's get back to Horikita's question." Hachiman chose to return to the topic.

"I thought you would get along better with Suzune. Like calling her Suzune, for example," Manabu Horikita said.

"..."

Did Horikita's brother also hear something about it?

Indeed.

Most students would mistakenly believe that he and Suzune Horikita were dating.

Moreover, it seems that Manabu Horikita has witnessed him behaving intimately with his younger sister on more than one occasion.

Forehead.

"So, let's get back to the issue of Suzune." Hachiman changed his wording.

"Hmm." Manabu Horikita seemed satisfied with this.

"Because of your departure, Suzune shouldn't be able to skip a grade," Manabu Horikita said. "But that's just [it should be said], if she can find her true self, then she still has a chance to collect 20 million points to skip a grade."

??

These words surprised not only Hachiman but also Akane Tachibana- senpai, who was standing to the side.

Is it because Manabu Horikita has that much confidence in his "One Piece"?
