Kushida's Brow Furrows Slightly-Then She Realizes Something Is Wrong!

In the current leaderless situation, if we can get the other side to give their all for Class A...

"Then please come with me. I have something to say to you privately," Asahina said.

"..." Kiryuin. "I'm going to the top floor to see the night view. There are a lot of people on this ship, but since the exams are over today, most students want to rest, so there shouldn't be any students on the top floor who are dating right now."

In other words, he is a lone wolf, but also someone who truly wants to enjoy life.

But.

"Then please come with me."

"What I'm about to tell you is definitely more important than looking at the stars," Asahina said.

Then she sent a text message to several students in her class.

"..." Kiryuin watched her move.

Asahina seems to have a different demeanor today than usual.

It's like something good has happened, or like they're trying to do something.

Let's just take a look.

So Kiryuin followed her to a quiet coffee shop, and a little while later, four students from Class A came into the coffee shop.

Two men and two women.

This was the person Asahina had brought. After she served tea to Kiryuin, she began to whisper among herself and her classmates.

Meanwhile, Kiryuin quietly sipped his tea.

Although Asahina kept their voices down, some of their conversation still reached Kiryuin's ears.

Just hearing about it makes me think... coming here is definitely more interesting than stargazing.

Because these students from Class A invited her, a student from Class B, here... apparently to discuss... paying 20 million points to buy her over.

That's interesting.

Despite her terrible reputation and the fact that Kiriyama has already ignored her, there are still people willing to spend a fortune to buy her off.

And after buying it, you have to give her a share of the profits.

This person genuinely wanted to raise her like a horse, wanting her to run, and also prepared to feed her well.

Indeed.

If we can buy her, then the current Third-year Class A students have a high probability of graduating from Class A.

After all, she believed in her own abilities.

But who came up with the idea, and how could Asahina be so willing to go all out?

Because of what she overheard them talking about, not only that they would pay for the 20 million they had spent on buying people, but also that, in addition to ensuring their living expenses, they would use half of all the points they earned as a class fund and the other half to pay her.

In other words...

The current class evaluation score for Class A is 1600 points. Third-year Class A has decided to keep only 500 points as basic living expenses. Half of the excess will be collected as a reserve for future exams, and the other half will be given to her directly. So, half of the excess is also worth more than 500 points of class evaluation score. Can they just give it to her because they want to?

That's quite a big deal.

Or rather, they went all out.

"Hachiman."

As Hachiman walked down from the rooftop and reached the corridor, he was greeted by a silver-haired girl wearing a white hat.

She happened to be smiling as she watched the boy walking towards her.

Behind her followed a girl with long, expressionless purple hair.

"What a coincidence, Classmate Sakayanagi." Hachiman stepped aside to let Sakayanagi pass by him.

However, Sakayanagi did not go directly upwards.

"I did intend to go to the top deck. There are students from Class A up there, and they thought the stars and moon looked beautiful tonight. So they invited me over."

Sakayanagi looked at Hachiman Hikigaya and smiled, "And Hachiman is here, so it seems you've already enjoyed the beautiful scenery."

Is that so?

Students in Class A.

Hachiman thought about how he and his Nanase, had arrived at the top deck. Although there weren't many people there, there were seven or eight students, including a quiet girl standing by a free vending machine.

That girl seemed to be one of the girls from Class A who had reported to Classmate Sakayanagi before they landed on the island.

As for the name, Ibuki had already looked it up at the time.

Her name is Miki Yamamura.

Even though he saw the other person, Hachiman subconsciously ignored them at that moment, which suggests that the other person had a very low presence.

Hachiman also noticed that Classmate Sakayanagi's condition had changed.

She was wearing a lovely white princess dress, and she had also changed her hat.

It wasn't the usual black or white beret, but a beautiful white sun hat.

"But since we've met here, would Hachiman like to come up with me to see the stars?" Sakayanagi said.

"Of course." Hachiman nodded.

Although I felt like I'd already enjoyed the sea breeze up there for a while, I figured I could stay a little longer.

So Hachiman followed Sakayanagi back to the top deck.

By this time, the sky had turned to night, and the stars had come out. It looked quite tranquil. However, the moon was also very bright.

Sakayanagi looked up and was immediately captivated by the view of the sky.

Just then, a sea breeze blew in her face, and she was wearing a large hat, which was almost blown away in an instant. But by sheer coincidence, a hand pressed the hat down again just as it was about to fly away.

"It seems I really have been too reckless."

Sakayanagi glanced gratefully at Hachiman, then breathed a sigh of relief.

So he took off the hat and handed it to Kamuro to catch.

"Is there any special meaning behind this hat?" Hachiman suddenly asked.

"It seems you've noticed," Sakayanagi said.

"Hmm, I didn't see you wearing it on the island before," Hachiman said.

"After all, it was an exam, and it lasted quite a long time, so I cherish it. It was a birthday gift from my mother. I haven't received any more since, so I can't just give it away easily."

It seems to be something with great sentimental value.

Hachiman remained polite. But he probably understood that Classmate Sakayanagi's mother was likely no longer alive.

"—" Kamuro, however, remained silent.

Because what kind of hat would you wear on a night like this? If Hachiman Hikigaya hadn't held it down and it flew away, wouldn't you be left crying?

However, she was used to following Sakayanagi around and watching her do silly things, so she remained quiet.

So since this hat is so meaningful, you shouldn't wear it out.

"Speaking of which..."

After watching the stars and the moon for a while, Classmate Sakayanagi turned her body to the side, letting part of her body lean against the railing.

Then his gaze fell on Hachiman.

"It seems that Hachiman has become a Master of Time Management."

"I told you so, didn't I?"

"Although I didn't give any instructions, the Student Council in my class would follow the activities of the students they felt needed to pay attention to."

"Hachiman is really busy today," Sakayanagi said.

"So that means..." Hachiman realized. "Your students are on guard against me now?"

Hachiman remembered.

In this exam, he and Sakayanagi teamed up, and both classes made a fortune.

But.

There are also class evaluation scores that some people find terrifying.

But.

"Please rest assured," Hachiman said. "Our Class D will not surpass your Class A. Even if it were possible, we would fall back down immediately. We have no ambition to graduate from Class A."

Is that so?

Hachiman Hikigaya does have some credibility.

At least Kamuro, a student in Class A, breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Hachiman Hikigaya is really scary.

He had climbed from Class D to Class C, then broke through Class B, and finally his class surpassed Class A during the Sports Festival.

That was a whole set, and it took a whole semester.

But now that you've gone to Second Year Class D, one exam has boosted Second Year Class D's score by over 500 points. That's terrifying!

"That's a real shame. I thought I could continue to spar with you." Sakayanagi Arisu sighed softly.

Hachiman has lost her drive to get into Class A. If this continues, she may only be able to compete with her opponent from another angle in the future.

She knew that her body would definitely lose in that situation.

But.

"Our class earned a total of 27 million points in this exam. And Hachiman, how many points did you earn?"

Sakayanagi gripped his cane. "The numbers are impressive, but some people will probably find them a headache."

Yes.

This will definitely cause headaches for some people.

Because Hachiman needs to go see the Acting Chairman Tsukishiro later.

Chapter 54 Kushida frowned slightly, suddenly realizing something was wrong!

Sakayanagi probably really wanted to see the stars, Hachiman stood with her for a while until Kamuro reminded her that her body couldn't stay there in the wind for too long, so she had to give up.

But.

"Kamuro, I suddenly feel that keeping you by my side isn't so bad," Sakayanagi said in a good mood.

"What's the meaning?"

"If other people were around me, they would let me have my way, so they wouldn't remind me or force me to leave."

"But Kamuro, you're different," Sakayanagi said.

"I think I'm just average." (And Kamuro)

"Then please remain [normal], I'm quite satisfied," Sakayanagi said.

"..." Hachiman watched the performance of the master and servant from the side.

If we simply look at Sakayanagi's meaning, it seems that he appreciated Kamuro's act of forcibly interrupting her interest.

It's clear that Sakayanagi has a very broad mind.

But Sakayanagi is perhaps a little different.

You need to figure out if she has a deeper meaning.

Because of the deeper meaning she just conveyed, it's less about Kamuro being considerate and more about Kamuro being somewhat unruly.

In other words, it's the kind of thing that needs to be disciplined.
