For Arisu!

There's nothing that can be done about it, because she's just an ordinary student, and when the chairman of the board suddenly appears in front of her, she's bound to be scared.

"Chairman Tsukishiro, is there anything else?" Hachiman took two steps forward and stood in front of Karuizawa, then looked at Tsukishiro.

"Actually, I was preparing for a particularly brutal Special Exam," Chairman Tsukishiro said. "Then, as the chief examiner, my feelings became somewhat complicated, but since I'm resigning, I can't leave without giving the students an exam that will leave a deep impression."

"So I want to add more elements related to dropping out of school," Tsukishiro added.

Wow.

Is it appropriate to say something like this in front of ordinary students?

However, Hachiman felt that Tsukishiro definitely didn't want to talk about this.

Chapter 64 Für Elise!

So Hachiman and Tsukishiro found a quiet place together. Whether it was intentional or not, the place Tsukishiro chose happened to be the McDonald's where he had borrowed money from Hachiman before the Treasure Hunt Game.

"Would you like anything?" After all, he was an adult, Tsukishiro decided to act like one.

"Hmm, I'd like some spicy wings, not grilled ones, grilled ones aren't flavorful enough. And a large Coke, please." Hachiman said, then noticed that Tsukishiro looked a little surprised.

"What's wrong?" Hachiman asked.

"No, I'm just a little surprised. I should say I thought you would be more polite," Tsukishiro said.

Oh. This one.

In other words, it's just polite talk. Hachiman learned a lot about this from Kushida. Sometimes, an invitation is just a polite gesture, not a genuine desire for you to come, or even a wish that you won't bother them.

As for Tsukishiro...

"I think it's okay to order some food," Hachiman Hikigaya said. "Because Tsukishiro probably has something he wants to say to me. And it's definitely not related to the next Special Exam. Maybe it's just some venting."

"..." Tsukishiro remained silent.

Indeed.

Generally speaking, he has experienced a lot of ups and downs, so his mentality shouldn't be fluctuating so much. But it's true that he has accumulated some pressure.

Because no previous mission had ever had so many negative consequences. He was injured, his efforts were thankless, his teammates were all impossible to talk to, he lost his subordinates, and even made mistakes himself.

I'm under a lot of pressure!

Furthermore, Tsukishiro has decided to leave the month after next, but there are still some things that need to be taken care of.

"Then let's order," Tsukishiro said. "As you can see, I was ordered by Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's father to drop out of Kiyotaka Ayanokoji."

"As a result, the operation failed."

"Then the loser had to leave the stage." Tsukishiro smiled, seemingly mocking himself.

Hachiman already understood what Tsukishiro was trying to say.

"You've actually carried out the mission very smoothly, haven't you? Even if you quit here, it's part of the plan, isn't it?"

"Hehe..." Tsukishiro smiled. "It seems you see things clearly too."

"Indeed, the task I accepted was not as simple as it seemed on the surface."

"Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is the ceiling of the White Room. He is also that person's only son."

"Originally, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was a child created by that lord to show his trust in White Room, and was sent to White Room while the child was still an infant."

"Although it seemed like a show, that lord didn't have any hope."

"But Kiyotaka Ayanokoji forged his own path."

"From the age of two, he showed a different way of thinking than other children."

"And then, as you know, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji became the ceiling of the White Room."

"But as the only completed product, he ran away outside on his own, which caused a series of problems."

"But the biggest problem is that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, although the only finished product, has a flaw."

"Without emotion."

"So at first, that person only wanted to take Kiyotaka Ayanokoji back, but now they are considering testing whether they can make up for Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's deficiency."

This led to the common practice in Tsukishiro of people receiving tasks and then slacking off.

"This task is very difficult and may not be completed," Tsukishiro continued. "But my part is already finished."

"So I'll be leaving here the month after next."

"But that person only has Kiyotaka Ayanokoji as a bloodline." Tsukishiro paused and continued, "And Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is White Room's most successful creation, and will definitely become the successor in the end, inheriting the goal that that person was unable to achieve."

"So."

Tsukishiro stood up. "That's about all I wanted to say."

"I feel that we have gotten along very well during this time. I look forward to your future development and hope that we can meet again in the future."

As Tsukishiro said this, she smiled and turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Hachiman remained seated and took a sip of his drink.

Tsukishiro is an adult now. His words just now revealed some information, as well as some expectations.

The White Room was built, and then, for the sake of a show, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's father "created" Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

This wording suggests that the father and son have a very weak emotional bond.

Hachiman's understanding of Lu's father was early on: terrifying, ruthless, profit-driven, and cruel.

So even though I realized this, I wasn't really affected.

But.

What needs more attention is that even with this father-son relationship, Tsukishiro predicts that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji will still be unable to escape his father's control.

The reason he hasn't been forcibly expelled yet isn't because Kiyotaka Ayanokoji is strong enough, but because the road bully wants him to stay in school to see if he can compensate for Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's flaws.

Therefore, the probability of eventually returning to the White Room is very high.

The reason has already been explained.

Because of the Uninhabited Island Exam, Hōsen was expelled from school and was used as a scapegoat by Tsukishiro to make fun of Yagami.

They didn't even have a chance to defend themselves.

So.

At that time, it was entirely possible to frame Kiyotaka Ayanokoji.

Even with an alibi, they have no way to defend themselves.

Because.

The levels are different now.

Since Roadhog was able to place Tsukishiro in the acting position of the chairman of Tsukishiro High School, it would be easy for Kiyotaka Ayanokoji to illegally expel him from the school.

Then there's what Tsukishiro just said.

While saying that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji couldn't refuse and would act according to his father's expectations, Tsukishiro hoped that they could meet again in the future.

Is this paving the way for him?

Should we ask him to help Kiyotaka Ayanokoji eliminate his flaws? Or should we give him guidance, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's future is bound to be extraordinary, so we can build a good relationship with him first?

But.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's flaw is that he has no emotions.

This is something I can't handle.

So is it possible that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji will definitely have some future development and will also come into contact with him, perhaps resulting in a win-win situation for both parties?

Hey, hey, hey.

Although graduating from this school will lead to a good life, and there is even a possibility of climbing the social ladder.

But.

The Acting Chairman Tsukishiro is giving him far too much credit.

Because Hachiman only wants to be a stay-at-home dad.

What good is there for Kiyotaka Ayanokoji if he's a stay-at-home dad who doesn't do any housework?

Because he didn't have much ambition, Hachiman was initially wavering because of Ichika Amasawa's advances. However, due to Tsukishiro's paving the way and his overestimation of his abilities, he suddenly realized that his ambition was just to be a stay-at-home husband.

So, as long as the other person is someone I can support, isn't that enough?

Why is it necessary to be nervous about who the person is?

So he found his true self.

My tense mood was unexpectedly relieved.

So he also went out to play with his current classmates.

The next evening, we went to the theater to see a play.

The play ended at 9:30, and it told the story of Icarus's Wings of Freedom.

The audience was only 10% full tonight, but Hachiman noticed that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was also there.

Kiyotaka Ayanokoji seems to be pursuing freedom, but unfortunately, he is unlikely to escape his father's cage.

However, it's not to say that there's absolutely no hope.

Because there is another way.

That means using magic to defeat magic, absorbing the opponent's power, and then growing stronger yourself. Then turn around and defeat the opponent.

Thinking about this, Hachiman suddenly understood why Lu's father wanted to correct Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's lack of emotion.

Because handing over power to Kiyotaka Ayanokoji like this will definitely backfire.

Because if you use the "tool person" theory, once they gain your power, you become useless and can be ignored or disposed of.

How terrifying that must be.

So, once emotions are involved, they can become a shackle. But for a road bully, it might feel safe.

Hachiman thought to himself.

The performance ended quickly, and the students left one after another.

Hachiman also planned to leave with the other students.

Just as he was about to get up, he noticed a tall girl walking over. Hachiman was sitting while she was standing, and her legs were very long. Wouldn't that make it easy to see under her skirt?

"There are safety shorts inside," the other person said.

Is that so?

But when someone almost saw under your skirt, this was your reaction.

Does Kamuro have no sense of shame at all?

However, it was too impolite to sit still, so Hachiman stood up.

"Is Sakayanagi looking for me?" Hachiman asked.

"She was just watching the play here," Kamuro said. "She was in the front row."

"Indeed, I invited you to come, but you seem somewhat dissatisfied that the play ended so early," Kamuro said.

"My family is just average, so I rarely have the opportunity to appreciate these things, which is why I suddenly became quite fascinated by them," Hachiman said.

Is that so?

But if you marry Sakayanagi, then it'll probably be an endless drama.

Because this ship belongs to the Sakayanagi family.

But she dared not say such a thing.

Because Sakayanagi still has a girlish heart, if she directly reveals her feelings, she will definitely be punished by Sakayanagi.
