Sakayanagi Arisu vs. Yukinoshita Yukino! (Continued)
"..." Masumi Kamuro.
Kamuro had actually been hiding in the corner the whole time, but neither of them had noticed her. Now that Hachiman Hikigaya had left, she could finally come out.
"Hachiman Hikigaya is already far ahead," Kamuro said.
"Yes." Sakayanagi Arisu nodded.
"..." Kamuro. "Your condition is unacceptable."
"It's like being in love," Kamuro said. "You like him that much? You were so excited just from shaking his hand yesterday."
"You don't understand," Sakayanagi said.
"..."
Don't you understand?
Actually, she knows quite a lot.
For example.
"Sakayanagi."
Kamuro felt that it wasn't a good thing that Sakayanagi Arisu for Hachiman Hikigaya.
Because that boring guy Hashimoto sometimes deliberately reports information so that she can't help but know it.
For example, during Forest Camp Exam, a news story broke when the boys were taking a shower together.
Hachiman Hikigaya's male... well, his male characteristics are very impressive, much stronger than those of an average person.
Sakayanagi Arisu, appears frail and sickly.
So.
"What do you want to say?" Classmate Sakayanagi replied, looking at Kamuro.
"I want to say..."
I was thinking that Hachiman Hikigaya is 22cm tall.
And then we're not compatible.
And these kinds of words... these kinds of words...
"No," Kamuro said.
Although I felt that Sakayanagi might die by then.
But if you ask her to say something like that directly, she'll blush, being a girl.
Because they had classes in the afternoon, Hachiman and the third-year students also arranged to meet in the cafeteria on the third floor, which was less than 30 meters away from Classmate Sakayanagi's private room.
However, it requires walking through a winding corridor.
Of course, you can also simply take the shortest distance between the two points.
However, as Hachiman was taking a shortcut through the hall, he spotted the shadow of a familiar face.
Jet-black straight hair, and a delicate and beautiful face.
The other person was sitting alone at the dining table in the lobby.
"Are you eating alone?" Hachiman asked.
Even though the other person was sitting alone and the seat opposite was empty, he wouldn't be impolite enough to just sit down there.
"I'm not in a good mood," the other person said. "I feel pressured."
Oppression...?
"May I sit down across from you?" Hachiman thought it would be alright to sit down.
"..." Yukino Yukino. "Please go ahead."
My sister forced me to get into this school.
They also believed that she still had shortcomings.
Hachiman Hikigaya possesses materials related to her... Social death, and undeniably, she is also the Vice President of the Student Council.
Still a senior.
Therefore, there must be something we can learn from them.
"Sakayanagi will probably bring you into the Student Council soon," Hachiman said.
"..." Yukino.
Yukino thought that this person probably didn't have much experience chatting with others.
Because those words immediately shut down the conversation.
However, she still told the other person about her experience.
Anyway, the most embarrassing Social death Matoba is already under the other party's control, and it's still uncertain when they will use it.
Yukino was called to the Student Council President's office yesterday.
Then he was entrusted with an important task and was invited by the other party to join the Student Council.
Having grasped the true nature of the school, she knew that the Student Council was the pinnacle of the students' power.
And.
Yukino also has a vague but ambitious goal in her heart.
Since her sister brought her to this school, even at the cost of repeating a year, it means she must improve herself.
If I could become the Student Council President and graduate from Class A, I could fulfill my sister's expectations and gain her approval.
Therefore, getting into the Student Council is a good thing.
Because many elections are not open to just anyone; they require qualifications and experience.
Although Yukino had never joined the Student Council, she knew some of the steps and arrangements.
Especially the Student Council of this unique school. Getting in early should be beneficial.
Furthermore, joining the Student Council allows you to interact with President Sakayanagi and become the first person in the school to meet its students.
Then you can gain experience from the other party... for example.
That was my original idea.
Then Yukino accepted the position.
But.
"So, for this exam, can you give me the right to use all the rideshare prop cards and additional prop cards from your class?" That's what President Sakayanagi said.
"You mean..."
"This is a deal," Sakayanagi said.
In this way.
I thought I was being promoted, but the reality turned out to be far more harsh.
Therefore, as the Class representative of Class A, First Year, Yukino was unwilling to agree, but after informing her classmates, the class voted to follow Sakayanagi-senpai's arrangement.
After all, judging from the current situation, although they are currently in Class A, their position is not secure.
If it falls this early, it will be a huge loss.
Therefore, it would be better to continue working with Second-year Class A and get through this exam safely.
At the same time, some people from my class also joined the Student Council.
Undoubtedly, the students made the right choice.
However, Hachiman noticed that Yukino wasn't in a good mood.
Their class clearly made the right choice, and there were benefits to be gained.
But she wasn't happy.
That's pretty obvious, isn't it?
Because this world is neither right nor kind.
"I see." Hachiman thought for a moment and then came up with an explanation. He said, "Back then, President Sakayanagi also forcefully nominated me to join the Student Council."
"?"
Upon hearing this, Yukino looked over.
I don't quite understand why Hachiman Hikigaya suddenly brought up his past.
Furthermore, Hachiman Hikigaya wears green glasses and appears to be a rational and pragmatic person. Is he really someone who compromises so easily?
"The reason is probably that I was the second candidate for Student Council President, but I withdrew from the race at the time," Hachiman said.
"Because I knew I definitely wouldn't be elected."
"So, I got the position of Vice President," Hachiman said. "In the adult world, compromises and deals are very common."
I see.
Yukino realized what was happening.
Hachiman Hikigaya is using his own experience to teach her.
"Compromise is a very important lesson," Hachiman said.
"Then I do need to make some changes," Yukino said, her head bowed.
If there's a time when you hit the end of the road, then you've hit the end now.
Yukino was thinking that perhaps her sister had let her in because she hoped that she would change.
So, compromise and trying to change might be what she needs to do now.
"No need to change."
But then she suddenly heard, "Just be yourself."
"?"
Yukino Yukino looked over in surprise.
But Hachiman Hikigaya said, "Gentle and righteous people always find it hard to survive, because this world is neither gentle nor righteous."
"But if you know you are right, then you don't need to change it."
There is a saying that goes, "There is only one true heroism in the world: to see the truth of life and still love it."
"And if you believe you are right, then there is no need to change immediately," Hachiman Hikigaya said.
"..." Yukino.
Yukino didn't reply immediately; she was pondering what the other person had said.
This world is neither kind nor right.
This sentence...
Yes, gentle and righteous people always live incredibly difficult lives.
Yukino was bullied by girls when she was in elementary school.
However, the reason she was bullied was because she was very outstanding.
She couldn't understand those people. If they were jealous of her, why didn't they become stronger themselves instead of conspiring to drag outstanding people into the mire?
This is what she doesn't understand.
At the same time, she also believed that she had not done anything wrong.
At the same time.
All she's ever wanted is... to become as outstanding as her older sister.
