Chapter 43 Hashimoto; You could have easily lived off a woman and avoided 20 years of detours! Part 2!

The morning of the eighth day.

It's 6:30 in the morning.

Hachiman has woken up. As expected, there was a heavy rain yesterday, but it didn't last long. By three or four in the afternoon, the sky began to clear up.

The students' tablets also received the message that the exam would continue starting today.

In other words, we can't keep slacking off; we still need to keep referring to the guidelines.

Even just one point would be good.

Of course, it also conveyed another message.

Now that the weather has improved, it's a good time to go out and about.

This time, Hachiman was considering both getting some points for his group and, more importantly, conveying to Kiyotaka Ayanokoji the plan of Tsukimaru Ten to knock people out and run away.

Yesterday, all the students were resting, so why not take advantage of that time to deliver the message?

It shouldn't be needed.

Because of the torrential rain yesterday, Tsukimaru Ten's plan could not be carried out. In that kind of weather, there was a high probability that the small boat would capsize. Humans are not strong in the face of the sea.

Therefore, it's possible that this could implicate Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, the target, and cause him trouble. Even Tsukimaru Ten would have to think this through carefully, otherwise he would become a sinner.

Therefore, the worse the weather was yesterday, the less likely the White Room would take any action.

This gave him time to go and inform others.

Certainly.

Alternatively, other students could be arranged to contact Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

The more White Room student came into contact with White Room and some of Hachiman things, the more outrageous and dangerous it seemed, especially since Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's father, who was behind the organization, was a terrifying person.

Therefore, to avoid involving others, he should go and deliver the message himself.

But as soon as he opened the tent, he suddenly noticed a figure standing in front of him—a tall, thin boy.

The other party seemed to be waiting with some hesitation, but remained silent.

Upon seeing Hachiman emerge, an expression immediately appeared on the other person's face.

"Oh. Hachiman," the other person said directly. "I met with your Little Princess Sakayanagi yesterday. Did she say what arrangements she had for me today?"

"She clearly instructed me and Kamuro to protect you, but after the danger passed, I asked you, and you said you could act on your own."

"It's just a pity that the little princess thinks it was my unilateral dereliction of duty."

"So I'm very unhappy."

"Hachiman, didn't you say back then that you could act on your own?"

"So can you take responsibility?" the other person said, then lifted his rather handsome face and said in a withdrawn tone, "Otherwise I'll be finished."

And this is Masayoshi Hashimoto, the fence-sitter of Second-year Class A.

Although he was a member of the Sakayanagi Faction, he was ultimately someone who acted for his own benefit.

However, he doesn't have the opportunity to betray Sakayanagi for the time being, or rather... betraying him now would almost be suicide.

However, he also understood that Little Princess Sakayanagi was dissatisfied with him, so he was worried that he would be sent away after the next withdrawal exam.

So now I feel uneasy.

"..."

Hashimoto was quite frank.

Moreover, their goal was very clear: they wanted to get help from Hachiman so they could explain things to Sakayanagi.

Say a few nice words to him.

Hashimoto never even considered speaking up for Hachiman.

However, he recalled that Sakayanagi seemed to have said that when he set off again, he would arrange for Kamuro to join him, and then Hashimoto would continue to cooperate with him.

In other words, Sakayanagi actually gave Hashimoto a chance.

There's just no notification yet.

"My relationship with Classmate Sakayanagi isn't actually that good," Hachiman said. "But I think you could ask Kamuro."

"She is Classmate Sakayanagi's right-hand woman."

The reason for this is that Hachiman saw the tall girl with long purple hair who had come out of the tent, washed up, and was ready to set off.

"..." The Kamuro.

Suddenly my name was called.

"What happened?" Kamuro walked right over.

She is not afraid of Hachiman Hikigaya.

You can even stand up straight in front of the other person.

Since the other party already had dirt on her, her struggles were futile.

Moreover, even if they were arranged by Sakayanagi, they were merely fulfilling their master's mission.

Treating it as a task is not unacceptable.

But.

"Hashimoto, why haven't you prepared anything yet?" Kamuro, somewhat displeased. "You'll have to go with Hachiman Hikigaya next."

The reason I say this is that Kamuro didn't see any sign that Hashimoto was prepared to travel.

"Huh?"

Hashimoto was taken aback. "Did you send me off, or did the little princess order me to act?"

"...This is Sakayanagi's order," Kamuro said.

"Call!"

"Understood!"

Hashimoto finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Since they're still using him, it means he still has value, and Little Princess Sakayanagi is no longer angry.

So Hashimoto was finally completely relieved and hurried back to his tent to prepare the things he needed for the trip.

"..."

But Hashimoto, do you think you can rest easy now?

Because even Miss Sakayanagi has a way of using up a person's value and then throwing them away.

Just like Nagumo who selflessly trained their class during the Commander Exam.

At this moment, Morishita, with her long blue hair, was watching the counter of the convenience store for Second-year Class A Morishita with her hands on it, thinking to herself.

Morishita was actually a little envious.

What is it about Kamuro that she has gained the attention of Miss Sakayanagi, who then specially arranged for her to take action?

She could be a dog here too.

She was one of the few people in the class who knew about Classmate Sakayanagi's background.

She is the eldest daughter of the Sakayanagi family, and the ship that came to the island also belongs to the Sakayanagi family.

So.

If you can latch onto the other person's coattails, wouldn't that be better than graduating from Class A?

Certainly.

She also hopes to graduate from Class A to enhance her resume, but finding a job in advance is also very important.

So she wanted to seize this opportunity that Kamuro seemed unwilling to accept.

After preparing for a while, it was 6:50.

Hachiman's group is ready to set off. A considerable number of students have already gathered at the starting point.

At 7:00 AM sharp, the school will announce the first designated area for each group to check in for the day.

Of the four designated areas each day, three are predictable. Once you reach one, the next designated area will be within a maximum of three areas.

So the students are all waiting for the direction they are to go.

Even if you miss the first designated area, you can still go to the second one.

However, Hachiman and the others were not summoned.

Their goal today is to find Kiyotaka Ayanokoji and deliver a message.

"Then let's set off."

"Hachiman Hikigaya."

However, when Hachiman others gathered, a first-year student greeted them.

They were two first-year students: one was a purple-haired girl with twin tails from Class A, First Year, and the other was a mischievous junior with short brown hair from First Year Class C.

These are Ichika Amasawa and Iroha Isshiki.

The young female students attracted a lot of attention because of their cute looks. When they noticed one of the cute girls greeting Hachiman, their initially envious glances quickly disappeared.

Because almost everyone in this school knows Vice President Hachiman.

For some students, Hachiman is their benefactor, having paid them a lot of points in this exam to collect or carry item cards.

This money was all free, so everyone was very grateful to him.

At the same time, some students knew that the Vice President and the president had a good relationship, so no one was tempted to be expelled immediately.

And Amasawa's teammate is actually Yukino.

Only.

Due to physical exhaustion, although Yukino came out to see them off, she did not set off with them.

So all I could do was watch them go.

She could have chosen not to come, but she did anyway.

Hachiman actually had a pretty good opinion of her character.

Moreover, Yukino, probably because she stayed behind, and she even tied her hair into black pigtails.

If her jet-black, straight hair, flowing like a waterfall, gives her the air of a high-and-mighty beauty.

However, tying it into pigtails gives a feeling of too much or too little.

It's very subtle.

But it's quite cute.

If Hachiman had always thought that Classmate Sakayanagi was perhaps the cutest girl in the school, then Yukino Yukinoshita's current appearance... also makes one think she deserves a high score.

"I hope you can score several dozen points today," said Hachiman Hikigaya.

"Hehe! Then I'll take your kind words, Senbei."

Iroha Isshiki smiled smugly at Hachiman Hikigaya Senbei.
