The Moonlight on the Deck Is So Beautiful! 6k! Today's Serving!

"So we need to start accumulating points slowly from now on."

"You don't need to worry before graduation. Just continue working for me, and I will provide you with a monthly living allowance of 50,000 yuan."

"..." Karuizawa.

"..." Karuizawa.

"You disagree?" Hachiman noticed that the blonde girl's expression seemed a little strange.

"No, of course I have no choice," Karuizawa said. "Aren't you the only one who knows my true self? So you're the only one I can rely on, and I get a living allowance every month, so my life is secure."

But it feels very strange. It's like I'm being kept by you.

However, Karuizawa never actually said those words aloud.

Then, because she received messages from her friends saying that Shinohara had invited her to dinner, she had to leave first.

Shinohara.

Satsuki Shinohara is one of the students who was injured during Uninhabited Island Exam, while Komiyama, who is in Hachiman's class, was also injured.

Both individuals were handled appropriately.

There are no longer any physical problems.

They also received compensation.

Each person received 500,000 points as compensation.

It didn't seem like much, but both of them seemed to find it acceptable, and the prisoners Hōsen Kazuomi had already been dealt with.

However, the prisoner was not Hōsen.

Hachiman Hikigaya knew that the culprit in this exam was his junior Yagami.

Hōsen was just a scapegoat.

Only.

Although Hōsen and Ryuen are from the same place, their methods of Ryuen not directly use a knife on people.

The threat to students is still too great.

And.

Hōsen and Ryuen don't get along, Hachiman is now in Ryuen's class, he naturally sides with Ryuen.

So Ryuen set a trap to frame Hōsen and then made Hōsen the scapegoat.

Although he knew it, he did not stop it.

This is also where Hachiman and Horikita's brother are different. Horikita is more straightforward and prefers to deal with things through legitimate means, while Hachiman is less restrictive in his methods as long as an acceptable result can be achieved.

Thinking this way.

"Knock knock!"

After dropping off Karuizawa, Hachiman's room was knocked on again.

However, he was already dressed by then.

When Karuizawa came over earlier, even though he sat down and kept his eyes straight ahead, Hachiman felt that the other person's gaze seemed to be mostly on him.

It made him feel like he was showing too much skin, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Hachiman!" This time, the person who appeared at the entrance of Hachiman was his former classmate, Hirata, who had short light green hair.

"What's up?"

Hachiman nodded to Hirata, turned around, and closed the door. He was also about to leave.

It's already 6:30.

"Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together."

Hirata extended a very enthusiastic invitation, looking at Hachiman Hikigaya with some eagerness.

Hachiman Hikigaya looked at Hirata but didn't say anything.

To be honest, he didn't dislike a good person like Hirata. In fact, he had helped out in past exams.

Hachiman is not someone who forgets his roots.

But.

"No."

Hachiman Hikigaya shook his head. "I want to be alone for a while."

"I see. That's a real shame."

Hirata lowered his head, clearly disappointed.

"..." Hachiman. "So, you came to see me really for no reason?"

Hachiman is about to go out to the deck to enjoy the breeze for a while before meeting Asahina-senpai.

But it's strange that a grown man is now so openly dejected at his own doorway.

"Actually, it's about Kōenji," Hirata said. "He might be leaving the class."

Oh.

Hachiman witnessed this from the deck, and he also saw that Hirata did not stop Kōenji at the time. He believed that Hirata had grown up.

So.

Hachiman understood. Hirata had come here to have a detailed discussion about life, which meant he was experiencing the so-called growing pains.

He checked the time.

6:30.

I had arranged to meet Asahina-senpai at seven o'clock.

So there is still time.

"Then let's go eat together," Hachiman said. "And you probably have some things you want to say, someone to tell them to."

"Hachiman!" Hirata's eyes seemed to light up instantly.

"Let's go then. I know a buffet restaurant over there that's pretty good."

Hirata immediately broke into a smile, then excitedly urged Hachiman Hikigaya to go out together, as if afraid Hachiman Hikigaya would run away.

This scene naturally fell into Hachiman's eyes.

This made Hachiman waver a bit. During last year's Commander Exam, Hirata hoped to become "friends" with him. But this kind of friend was different from the common type of friend like Ichinose. Instead, it was the kind of friend Kushida, who could learn each other's secrets and be honest with each other.

In other words...

Is this what Hachiman hoped for when he first transferred to this school—that he might make one or two friends?

"I'm finding it a little hard to adjust to Hachiman leaving the class."

"But I can accept this result nonetheless."

"Kōenji's departure was actually expected, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly—"

"But his urgent need for 8 million points is slightly unsettling, like a deep distrust of this class..."

"While some classmates went too far, there are also some who are trustworthy partners."

"But since Kōenji has chosen his own path, I have no choice but to assist him..."

Along the way.

Hirata rambling on, but Hachiman had already experienced listening to people talk nonsense before.

Moreover, Hirata is quite gentle, completely different from Kushida.

"So, are you feeling a little better now?" Hachiman asked Hirata.

"Yes." Hirata nodded. "I've discovered that there's a limit to how much a person can bear, and it's very comforting to have someone listen to you. Hachiman, can I ask you to come out again sometime?"

"And I think Kushida must have had a tough time too."

"But sometimes she walks with you, which makes you feel at ease."

Is that so?

It seems Hirata understands people quite well.

Or rather, from his perspective, Kushida looks the same as him.

This is similar to Kushida's visit to Hirata. He felt that Hirata weren't purely to help people.

Both of them seem quite good and excellent, but they were assigned to Class D. So, is there some record in their files that resulted in them being heavily penalized?

So the two went to a buffet restaurant, which is very popular with students and where you can see students from different grades.

Hachiman Hirata went to pick up their meal together.

But when they finished queuing and were taking their trays back, they suddenly noticed a blonde girl sitting on one of the seats watching them.

She is eating a sandwich.

She seemed startled, probably because their eyes met suddenly.

Then he choked.

She quickly went to grab a water glass from the side, but unfortunately, it was empty.

Hachiman then handed over the water cup he had just received.

The other person took it and drank it down in one gulp.

It's like they've come back to life.

"Thank you, thank you, Hachiman Hikigaya," the other person said, their cheeks slightly flushed, looking a little embarrassed.

"..." Hachiman Hikigaya.

It seems my schedule can be less rushed now.

Because Hachiman has now met the person he was supposed to meet for the second time tonight, Nanase.

So.

Since we've already given Hirata psychological counseling, we might as well take care of Nanase's situation as well.

P. S.: Although this chapter doesn't mention Sakayanagi's hat, it feels like it does.

P. S.: Total debt is 227,000 words.

This chapter has 6,000 words, but it still needs 221,000 words.

Chapter 52 The moonlight on the deck is so beautiful! 6k! Today's share!

This cafeteria is very popular, and many students choose to eat here.

After all, if you go to a restaurant, you can only choose a few dishes, but at a buffet, it's free and you can eat whatever you want.

So it was a bit crowded, and there weren't many empty tables.

But.

Hachiman noticed that Nanase was alone. Given the scarcity of desks, the fact that she had a desk all to herself suggested either that she was difficult to get along with, or that she genuinely lived alone.

The status of having no friends.

"Can we eat together?" Hachiman asked.

"Yes, of course you can, and I drank the water you drank, senior."

Tsubasa seemed quite apologetic, so if Hachiman Hikigaya sat down with her, she could go and get him some more water.

Hachiman suddenly realized why he had previously thought Karuizawa and Nanase Tsubasa were somewhat similar.

Not all of them just have beautiful blonde hair.

It's mainly about personality.
