Chapter 502

"You're such a nuisance," Ibuki said.

At the same time, he realized that Hachiman Hikigaya probably wanted her to be his bodyguard for the time being.

However, Shiina also told her that she was paired with Hachiman Hikigaya for this exam because she hoped that Shiina could help her if any trouble arose.

So, we'll have her as our bodyguard.

So, the current outcome is still in line with the task she was supposed to complete.

So, Hachiman waited for a while, while Ibuki went to find a staff member and went to the shop to borrow sunglasses.

"Have you already had lunch?" Hachiman asked.

"No," Ibuki answered honestly.

Oh, I see.

Then let's go eat first.

All facilities and equipment on this ship are free, as are meals and borrowing items.

So naturally, one would order the expensive set meal.

Hachiman then took out his phone.

[The seafood platter, roasted lamb leg, and oyster omelet with chives at Alice's Restaurant are quite delicious.]

[The Mango Pomelo Sago served at the open-air bar on the deck was absolutely divine!] by Ichika Amasawa.

Compared to Kamuro, this Ichika, is quite capable.

Although she left school, she never forgot her job as a top taster.

"Then let's go have some seafood for lunch," Hachiman said.

"Seafood? As long as it's not mantis shrimp, I have no problem with it. I'm not a fan of things that look prickly," Ibuki said. "However, I have to go see a movie this afternoon."

"..." Hachiman.

Ibuki used the phrase "I have to go to the movies" rather than "I want to go to the movies."

In other words...

Does Ibuki still remember her interest in collecting and watching all the movies at school?

In the afternoon, Hachiman plans to sleep in his dorm, so he probably won't go out.

So the two of them started walking in the direction of the restaurant recommended by their Ichika.

However, when the two passed by a foreign restaurant, they unexpectedly saw four students from Second-year Class A inside.

Two of them were acquaintances.

However, all four of them were dressed in their own casual clothes.

Classmate Sakayanagi wore a white princess dress and a black beret.

They look quite cute.

Kamuro, on the other hand, wore a regular tracksuit. However, her disdainful expression towards everyone, which she had shown when she first enrolled, remained unchanged.

She appeared to be the tallest and most slender.

Two girls were talking to Sakayanagi.

One of the girls seemed to be the type who didn't have much of an opinion, and her profile was somewhat sexy.

And the other one.

That's a more individualistic type.

Hachiman didn't know many students in Class A, so he couldn't immediately identify the other two girls besides Sakayanagi and Kamuro.

"One is Miki Yamamura."

"One is Ai Morishita."

Then Ibuki suddenly said.

Oh?

Did Ibuki actually read the class roster and memorize everyone's information, just like Horikita and Kushida?

However, no.

What Hachiman saw was Ibuki taking out a tablet and flipping through the photos of the Second-year Class A students one by one before finally finding the person in question.

This child is really honest.

But you've been in the same school for a year now, so you should know these students in the same grade by now.

You're upstairs looking at the scenery, while the people looking at the scenery are looking at you.

"It looks like it was Hachiman Hikigaya just walked by."

"I am reporting the situation to Sakayanagi," said Ai Morishita, who was reporting the situation to Sakayanagi.

As a member of the Sakayanagi Faction, she naturally knew that Little Princess Sakayanagi often ate with a dead-fish-eyed boy.

Certainly.

Some people are saying that the two may be dating.

However, their emotional intelligence is stronger than that of Yahiko back then. No matter who Little Princess Sakayanagi's partner is, as long as they are recognized by Classmate Sakayanagi, they must have their own unique qualities.

Facts speak louder than words.

Although Hachiman looks like a delinquent, he gives off a completely different vibe when he wears glasses, even exuding a rather reliable aura.

And the other party is indeed capable.

He once led a bottom-ranked Class D to a remarkable comeback, defeating Class A. It's fair to say that all the students in Class A have a deep impression of him.

Now, the other party has gone to Class D.

Then they split the exam scores and rewards with Little Princess Sakayanagi.

"Are we giving away too many advantages for this exam?" the girl asked.

Because their class also gave away everyone's prop cards.

As a student in Class A, I could still figure out that the ride-sharing prop card could be used for betting.

Therefore, this means that a large portion of the profits were ceded to Hachiman Hikigaya.

Then they received the Lead Card, and prepared to hoard resource points and then sell the resources.

The supplies were sold using Private Points from the school.

It's possible to turn the rules provided by the exam into living expenses.

At the same time, because these are extraordinary times, price increases are acceptable.

If done well, one can make a fortune.

However, the procedures and steps involved are quite complicated.

Because each person can only have one of the same item card, both exchanging for supplies and using item cards require someone to coordinate.

"One should have moderation in life," Classmate Sakayanagi said. "Besides, we lost the opportunity to go first. There's nothing we can do about it."

"I arranged for Kamuro to contact Kōenji as soon as the exam rules were announced, but it was too late in terms of timing."

"Therefore, we can accept the bitter consequences we are facing now."

There are two reasons why Sakayanagi is not going to continue participating in Hachiman's betting for first place. Firstly, her family is wealthy and she does not need to accumulate too many points at school to work hard for the future.

One reason is that she has a special identity; she is the daughter of Chairman Sakayanagi of the board.

Although her father was taken away for investigation, the current chairman is Tsukishiro, the acting chairman.

However, if you gain a huge number of points from it, you will also have to bear a negative consequence.

Therefore.

It is very important to grasp the degree and the measure.

Moreover, Hachiman must have been planning this for a long time and was probably looking forward to it. As someone with high intelligence and emotional intelligence, he certainly wouldn't interfere.

Especially...

They were unable to buy the wild man from Kōenji in the first place.

If you managed to buy a ticket to Kōenji right when the exam rules were announced, that would be fine, but if you didn't, you lost control of the situation.

Sakayanagi wouldn't like something that puts him at a disadvantage from the start.

So they quickly sent Morishita away.

"So, should I continue to follow Kushida recently?" asked Yamamura was waiting for a report on the other side.

Yamamura has a very low profile, making him perfect for espionage.

And after she enrolled in school, she was constantly assigned to do these things by Sakayanagi.

The person following them might be from another class, or someone close to Hachiman.

"No need," Sakayanagi said. "We have a 14-day exam coming up, and as the class that resells supplies, we still have a lot of hard work to do."

"Understood." The Yamamura nodded, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, and then went to do his own thing.

While watching his two classmates leave, Kamuro did not leave.

Because she was Sakayanagi's right-hand woman.

With Sakayanagi still around, she had no reason to leave.

At the same time, she is someone who understands Sakayanagi quite well.

Sakayanagi ended the conversation so quickly because, as she understood it, he felt that Yamamura and Morishita were in the way.

"Should I go and call Hachiman Hikigaya over?" Kamuro asked. "He shouldn't be far yet."

"No need," Sakayanagi said. "He should have seen me just now, but he was very polite because I was busy."

"..." The Kamuro.

Look.

You weren't really listening to your subordinates' reports just now.

People who fall in love are beyond saving.

Because the enjoyment on the ship is free.

So Hachiman and Ibuki had a hearty meal.

But.

"What do you want to do!"

Meanwhile, Ibuki's identity as a bodyguard came in handy.

Just as they were about to leave the restaurant, Ibuki keenly sensed that someone was watching them, and then two upperclassmen walked towards them.

"We are students in Third-year Class B."

The two upperclassmen who approached spoke politely.

"Actually, Kiriyama -kun wants to have a talk with Vice President Hikigaya," the upperclassman said.

He refers to Hachiman as the Vice President.

So you must have something to ask of me.

Hachiman then went with the other party to see Kiriyama.

Kiriyama was the former Vice President of the Student Council.

Initially, Horikita's brother used her as a tool to suppress Nagumo, but the reality is quite different.
