Chapter 566

[Name: Hachiman Hikigaya

Class: First-year Class D

Private Points account: 25,185,400.

Let's just call it perfect for now.

Adding the 120 million from the points card, he collected a total of 140 million.

Um.

Let's just say it's a reasonable and satisfying number.

Hachiman was in a great mood.

So, after putting the points card into the file folder, he took off his coat.

Although he spent more time at the departure point during the later stages of the exam and was able to shower frequently, he still needed to take a bath once he returned to the ship.

However, when he pushed open the bathroom door, he noticed that the floor was somewhat damp.

It appears to have been used not long ago.

And.

There seemed to be a faint scent of rose petals in the air.

"..." Hachiman.

This is a luxury cruise ship, and he is just a student, but the room he is in is a suite that he paid for and that is usually reserved for wealthy guests.

So it's possible that it was used by other guests during the fourteen days I was away... No!

Because the ship was contracted by the school, the Sakayanagi family lent it to the school.

Then, more and more students kept withdrawing, so it was impossible to receive guests while allowing them to interact with the students at the same time.

So they weren't guests, but rather crew members on the ship?

However, if it's room service or something similar, the blankets wouldn't be folded and left in such a mess.

And.

My files are still there, and they don't look like they've been used.

So.

Perhaps it's just my imagination?

No, no, no.

The ground is indeed wet!

So Hachiman turned around and left the bathroom.

"Is anyone in this room?" Hachiman asked.

"..."

"..." But unfortunately, only the air responded to him.

Hachiman didn't linger and went straight to the bed where he had felt a little uneasy earlier.

The bed was a bit messy. There were originally two pillows, but now there was only one. The blanket was rolled up into a ball, and the way it was rolled up and the height of the blanket were enough for a person who wasn't very tall to hide inside.

Hachiman became more alert and then pressed his left hand down on the rolled-up blanket.

But.

Empty.

The blanket was opened; it was empty.

No one is in bed.

There was a pillow inside, though.

It seems I made a mistake.

Furthermore, it's also possible that a room service staff member came to tidy up, encountered some issue, used the restroom briefly, and then forgot to tidy up before leaving.

Hachiman then returned to the bathroom and began filling the bathtub with water.

But after the water had been running for five or six minutes, he suddenly tiptoed open the bathroom door and looked outside.

"..."

"..." Silence.

It seems I was indeed too nervous.

I thought there were actually people in the house.

After doing this two or three times, and making sure the bathtub was full of water, Hachiman decided to stop thinking about it and relax first.

Twenty minutes later.

Hachiman came out, wearing a bathrobe.

I walked to the sofa on the side.

I opened the window and placed some fries by the window. Immediately, two seagulls with round bellies were attracted and landed by the window.

He also made himself a cup of hot milk.

It feels so good to drink milk after taking a shower.

"Beep beep!"

Hachiman then noticed that his phone on the table had received a message notification.

[Um, Hachiman Hikigaya, I know you just finished your exams and it must have been tough, but could we meet up tonight?] by Nanase Tsubasa.

This is Nanase.

Hmm.

Previously, Kushida was arranged to deliberately approach her, and then he learned about her past.

Considering that this would cause her to have a mental breakdown, they induced her to resolve her inner conflict.

However, Nanase's prognosis has not yet been checked.

So Hachiman thought it was worth a meeting.

[Okay. But it might be a little later. Around 8 or 9 o'clock.] Hachiman started sending messages.

I went to Asahina-senpai around 6 or 7 o'clock, and then had lunch there.

It's already past lunchtime by 8 or 9 o'clock, so Nanase probably won't treat him to anything then.

They won't let him eat anything.

So this is a perfect arrangement.

Hachiman continued typing.

But.

"So, Nanase- senpai is quite concerned about Hachiman Hikigaya." He noticed a voice behind him.

"..."?

(⊙o⊙)!

Hachiman looked back in surprise.

Because someone suddenly stood behind him.

The other person was wearing the usual school uniform, a shirt paired with a short skirt.

However, her shirt was different from the typical white shirt worn by students; it was orange. It made her look lively and adorable.

He noticed that some members of Karuizawa's small group were dressed like that, and when he asked Karuizawa about it, they said that these were substitutes for uniforms, which were sold in the Shopping Street, and that different colored school shirts could be purchased by paying points.

From this perspective, Ryuen's black shirt might also be considered acceptable.

"Ichika Amasawa."

"..." Hachiman. "Why are you here?"

Hachiman subconsciously glanced at the door to the side. The door was closed, and he hadn't heard it open.

"Oh, please! I came here to give you a surprise, senior."

"But my senior brought a whole group of people with him, so I was too embarrassed to come out," Amaza said.

Is that so?

I believe you. And this explanation is very strange.

"So you're saying you were the one who messed up my blankets, and you were also the one who used the bathroom?" Hachiman said.

"Mmm." Ichika Amasawa, nodded.

"So where were you before?" Hachiman thought he was encountering a supernatural story, but it turned out to be just a belief, which made him feel somewhat at ease... what a load of rubbish.

Why would a female student suddenly come to the room of a male, or even an older male, student?

"I'm in the closet," Ichika Amasawa said.

"I originally wanted my senior to open the cabinet, and then I would come out."

"But even though the senior noticed something was wrong, he didn't look for it anywhere."

Is that so?

You still want to play hide-and-seek?

"Then why did you arrange the blankets like that?"

Hachiman's room has been invaded more than once. The last time, someone sat on his bed, and after Hachiman chased Sakayanagi back, he found that the blanket seemed to have some faint scent of Classmate Sakayanagi left on it.

In other words, the other party probably got tired and simply borrowed the bed.

Ichika Amasawa had the blanket rolled up like that, but Hachiman couldn't smell anything.

Rather, she smells quite nice right now.

If you use his bed, then the bed will have a scent.

"This is psychology."

"I'll deliberately create an eye-catching Matoba to attract your attention, and then after you repeatedly check and find that you can't find me, I'll give you a surprise," said Ichika Amasawa.

Is that so?

So you know a lot.

Hachiman remembered that this junior had indeed said that she knew a little about psychology and could show it to Kushida.

But Hachiman thought that if he showed it to her, Kushida would be completely tamed by her.

When it comes to Kushida, Hachiman feels a bit overwhelmed.

In other words...

This is it, right?

"That..."

Hachiman felt it was somewhat difficult to bring up the subject. "I think I might not be able to agree to what you said about repaying a debt of gratitude back in the tent."

"Really? But I'm very cheap," said Ichika Amasawa. "I'm a student in Class A, and if nothing unexpected happens, I'll definitely graduate from Class A. That's cheaper Hachiman Hikigaya wanted to be a stay-at-home dad."

"Because if we choose Kushida-senpai, but Kushida-senpai can't graduate from Class A without spending money, and if she can't graduate from Class A, she won't be able to find a high-paying job in the future. How will she Hachiman Hikigaya?"

"So, the senior has to pay these 20 million points for choosing Kushida-senpai."

"But if you choose me, you won't need the 20 million."

Yes.

Ichika Amasawa has a pitiful background, but she is extremely strong. There is no need to prepare 20 million points for her to advance in the class. Therefore, among Hachiman's two marriage partners, this junior is also very competitive.
