Hashimoto: You Could've Lived Off Someone Else and Saved Yourself 20 Years of Detours! Part 2 (Continued)

Then I took Amasawa me and we set off together.

And faintly, it seemed as if they could hear their conversation.

"Why didn't you greet Hachiman Hikigaya just now? Aren't you quite interested in him?" by Isshiki.

"Well, a regular greeting isn't enough; you have to make him remember you." — Amaza. "That's why I don't follow the crowd."

I see.

We don't follow the mainstream approach.

So what are you trying to do? How do you want him to remember you?

The mere mention of this Ichika Amasawa, immediately filled Hikigaya- Hachiman Hikigaya immense pressure.

It's all Kushida's fault for leaking information, letting her know his ambition to not want to work and be supported by someone. And to make matters worse, the other person perfectly matched his requirements, even exceeding them.

It's like having the perfect person who can support him without making him work.

This is unsettling.

At the same time, the other party's background is also pitiful.

Lacking love and without a family, I had nowhere to go after graduation.

Therefore, it's really hard for Hachiman to refuse this type.

However, if I agree to the other party's request, I feel that it would become extremely dangerous.

This was without reason, Hachiman's instinctive intuition.

"Then let's set off," Hachiman said.

He had checked Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's location that morning, and it was still in E3.

It's only half a day's journey from here.

But.

They might move, since they're on the island, while most students need to start from here.

Based on Hachiman's understanding of Yukimura, Yukimura might want to seize the opportunity and take advantage of being on the island to grab the first designated area's group reward for the day.

However, the journey between the two sides is quite long, so even if Hachiman set off now, they may still encounter each other along the way.

"Wait a minute!" Just as Hachiman and the others began to move, someone shouted from behind.

Hachiman turned his head and immediately saw Ibuki rushing over.

"Why did you leave without telling me?"

Ibuki carrying a small bag, and her cheeks were flushed, clearly indicating that she had rushed over.

"Do you think I'm a burden?" Ibuki seemed to be quite serious about this.

This made Hachiman instantly see Horikita, whom he used to know.

Hikigaya is quite good at dealing with people like Horikita.

So he explained.

"I'm not here to rack up points today. I need to complete a mission," Hachiman said. "For the same reason, this mission is risky, which is why I'm keeping you here."

"Otherwise, if we're all wiped out, our group, along with Komiyama Shinohara and the others, will be left in the bottom five, or even the bottom three," Hachiman said. "And can Ibuki take that responsibility?"

"You need to understand that because of Shinohara and Komiyama's withdrawal, we now have to shoulder the responsibility of ensuring this group is not wiped out," Hachiman said sternly.

"..." Ibuki.

These words made Ibuki frown.

"Then go ahead."

"I'll stay here at the starting point," Ibuki said.

"OK."

So Hachiman left with Kamuro and Hashimoto.

But.

Hashimoto looked back several times and discovered that Ibuki, who had just been Hachiman Hikigaya, had actually gone back with a bag.

The other party arrived with such a menacing air.

They actually managed to trick them back with just two sentences.

"Hachiman Hikigaya, you're really good at manipulating people." Hashimoto was a sociable person who knew how to find informants, but Hachiman Hikigaya was even better at deceiving people. So he was a little curious and wondered if he could learn from him.

"It's not that I'm manipulating people, but Ibuki is a very responsible person," Hachiman said. "She's responsible in terms of class responsibility and team responsibility."

"Do you remember the Uninhabited Island Exam last year?"

Last year's Uninhabited Island Exam was a disgrace to Class A.

At the same time... it was also an exam that made Hashimoto feel uncomfortable. Because he betrayed his class in that exam, selling out the class leader to Ryuen, and in the end... he thought he would only lose 50 points, but he ended up losing 150 points.

Therefore, he bears responsibility for the decline of Class A.

He was already prepared to keep this matter to himself.

Therefore, he did not try to collect the 1 million yuan that Ryuen had been owing him.

Hachiman didn't mean to hurt Hashimoto. He said, "During last year's Uninhabited Island Exam, Ryuen arranged for Kaneda and Ibuki to use a self-inflicted injury scheme, and also sent them to other classes as undercover spies."

"Ibuki was beaten very badly at the time."

"I went to Ryuen's class and asked Ibuki how much she received back then," Hachiman said.

"How much?" Hashimoto was also a little curious.

Because to go to such lengths to inflict such a self-inflicted injury, it would cost at least 50... no, 1 million.

"Not a single penny," Hachiman said. "Ibuki's claim is that she was contributing to the class. That's why she didn't take any money, and she even questioned why she was being charged."

"..." Hashimoto.

Is that so?

So your Class D is pretty impressive too.

Hashimoto suddenly realized that Class D, Hachiman Hikigaya had now joined, was the same class that Ryuen had once been in.

I've been hanging out with Hachiman Hikigaya lately, and I'd forgotten that Ryuen is the Class representative for Class D.

When did Ryuen's presence become so weak?

Ryuen's presence is anything but weak.

"Congratulations to your group for getting 4 points, and you will also receive an additional 10 points as a bonus for being the first group to arrive," said a teacher in charge of the designated area.

They boosted the score for Ryuen.

Ryuen and his team have now risen to seventh place.

However, it wasn't that they were working particularly hard; rather, most students were starting to tire themselves out and were choosing to slack off.

"Ryuen, aren't you worried about Hōsen attacking us today, coming out so openly?"

"Hōsen is now only 3 areas away from us," Ishizaki said, observing the tablet.

"Don't panic," Ryuen said. "Don't we have this thing on hand right now?"

"Thank you Hachiman Hikigaya."

Ryuen said. He already knew why he couldn't gather his classmates the day before yesterday.

Because Komiyama and Shinohara from Class C were attacked, Hachiman Hikigaya reinforcements to capture them.

As a result, the fight was cancelled.

However, the school has not announced whether the perpetrator has been apprehended.

Therefore, there is a high probability that they have not yet been caught.

But.

As an experienced bad boy.

Ryuen knew that sometimes what they caught wasn't the real Li Kui.

So.

"If Hōsen dares to come, then we'll make sure he doesn't leave alive!" Ryuen said.

Now, Ryuen's team has expanded to 6 people.

However, they did not form a team, but instead arranged for two classmates to accompany them.

This time, their group followed the school's instructions, returned to the starting point, and rested there.

However, Ryuen instructed them to act very early and arrive at the designated area where the exam was interrupted ahead of schedule.

Today, the first designated area indeed resumed from the point of interruption.

So they got a bargain.

Ryuen specifically arranged for two students to accompany them, not to increase the number of students.

Fighting is no longer allowed.

So.

If Hōsen dares to come and stupidly destroy his own bracelet, then he will stage a self-inflicted injury by arranging for the two people to pretend to be beaten and then report Hōsen.

"Kaneda, you're probably going to suffer again this time," Ryuen said.

One of the two classmates he brought was Kaneda he had arranged to infiltrate Class Ichinose last semester using a self-inflicted injury scheme.

"Not at all, if it's for the sake of the class, I'm willing to do it."

"And."

Kaneda chuckled. "If Hōsen gets expelled, we can still get 2 million points from First Year Class C."

"As for First-year Class D, they will be at the mercy of others from now on. Perhaps they can be manipulated to cooperate with the exams at will by paying a small amount of points."

So, if we get beaten by Ryuen again this time, it's worth it!

As Hachiman predicted, Yukimura's group did indeed move from the E3 area.

We secured our first point in the designated area today.

The reason I say this is because I saw that their group's score increased by 12 points.

Only.

Hachiman also noticed that Nanase had started moving.

Nanase and Kiyotaka Ayanokoji maintained a distance of one and a half zones between their areas.

It seems that she has not yet completed her inner transformation.

But.

Hachiman and his companions were also quite fast on their feet.

Hachiman is good at endurance, while Hashimoto and Kamuro are both from the sports department, so they walk much faster than the average group.

The two groups should be meeting soon.

It's just one area away.

Meanwhile, Nanase has already begun trying to enter the area where Kiyotaka Ayanokoji and the others are.

"Speaking of which..."

Hashimoto's favorite thing is gathering information. So he's also trying to get some information from Hachiman that he doesn't usually have.

Actually, he had been rushing along the way and felt that he had figured things out.

Why was Little Princess Sakayanagi angry at his unauthorized actions?

After much thought...
