Farewell, Tsukishiro; Chairman Sakayanagi Returns!

So they had no choice but to take action again and borrow money from more people.

A series of such sets is enough to make people understand how precious it is to have raised 20 million.

So, if you manage to scrape together enough this time, will you be able to do it again next time?

It forces them to face reality.

Then Kanzaki exploded.

Class Ichinose ultimately chose to change course.

We need to unite, but we also need to be rational.

This is also the most suitable path for Class Ichinose Hachiman could imagine.

But even if it transforms, it will probably fail in the end.

As long as Sakayanagi's class doesn't make any major mistakes, or if Classmate Sakayanagi is put into play and prevented from doing anything, then there's a high probability that her class will graduate as Class A.

So Ichinose's class ultimately lost again.

However, it's not without its advantages.

Because if Ichinose's class also strives to get high class evaluation scores, then even if they ultimately fail to graduate from Class A, or even if other students might drop out.

But.

After deviating significantly from a student's beliefs, they can obtain more class evaluation scores.

So.

Even those who ultimately fail to graduate from Class A.

However, the substantial Private Points they can take with them upon graduation, along with the experience of struggling through the various Special Exam at this school and the social experience they gained in advance, will be their own treasures.

Hachiman suddenly realized that he seemed to understand the meaning of what Horikita's brother had said when he was a graduate.

"I assure you all that what you learn at this school will become your most valuable asset in the future."

"The person giving the speech next year, or two years from now, will surely have a moment when they can understand these words."

The experience at this school will definitely be a valuable asset in my future life.

P. S.: I still owe 178,000 words.

This chapter has 6,000 words; I still owe 172,000 words.

PS2: Tsukishiro: Your title? That's outrageous!

Chapter 79 Goodbye, Tsukishiro, the returning Chairman Sakayanagi!

Hachiman is a guy who has been to several girls' dormitories.

He was even more familiar with Horikita's room and its furnishings than with his own, since he often went there to eat or discuss things; it was practically his secret little base.

This was my first time visiting Ichinose's dormitory.

It feels fresh and new.

It felt like I had just entered a girls' area.

These are definitely experiences that ordinary boys don't have.

Hachiman finds himself gradually deviating from the category of an ordinary boy.

So, Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, what a terrifying place, it's amazing that it could have transformed him into this.

Ichinose seemed to notice that Hachiman was daydreaming and looked a little embarrassed.

"Well, it must have been boring to you since I was the only one talking," Ichinose said apologetically.

She was already adorable, and with that sincere gaze, being stared at by her made one's heart race.

Although he didn't intentionally show that expression.

But Hachiman felt that no one could refuse her in her current state.

"It's alright," Hachiman said. "You just need to give me a door that can't speak but will completely accept your emotions."

"Don't feel pressured," Hachiman said. "That's what Kushida does."

Oh.

Ichinose nodded. She had always thought that Hachiman was very different. Not only did he have extremely sharp, even frightening, insight, but his tolerance was also first-rate.

But this also shows that Hachiman and Kushida have a really good relationship.

He can make Kushida drop all her masks in front of him.

As for this place...

Ichinose remembered the message she received on the ship, a congratulatory message from the school congratulating her on her Class Advancement to Class A and that she would graduate with a degree in Class A.

It was obvious that Hachiman bought her the Class Advancement spot.

According to Hachiman's account, when they were on the ship Acting Chairman Tsukishiro was short of funds, which made negotiation and bargaining possible.

I guess I bought it because it was cheap.

However.

Even for this reason, as someone who signed an agreement with Hachiman and a marriage registration form, receiving this news would certainly cause some unease.

She might even wonder if Hachiman had already decided to choose her.

However, Hachiman and Kushida are still on good terms.

So.

Perhaps if it weren't for choosing her, but simply wanting to sponsor her, it would be a good thing for Ichinose, but it would make Ichinose feel like she had failed miserably.

"What's wrong? You seem lost in thought." Hachiman noticed her expression.

"No, it's nothing." Ichinose quickly shook her head. "It's just..."

She said somewhat hesitantly, "Um, can we hold hands?"

Holding hands?

"Um, well, if you don't agree..." Ichinose said quickly.

"Holding hands is fine with me," Hachiman said.

Compared to Kushida, the kind of Ichinose needs now is what he considers normal.

And.

For the kind-hearted Ichinose, making such a decision to abandon her companions was a step forward, but also cruel.

So some strength is needed.

And wasn't Hachiman coming here because he took that into consideration?

Kushida is under a lot of pressure and needs to relieve it frequently. Ichinose doesn't relieve her stress now, it will accumulate and become a problem later.

Hachiman's weekend time was divided: Saturday morning was taken by Kushida, and Sunday afternoon was taken by Ichika Amasawa.

Ichinose never asked him for anything, and even often came over to help with cleaning.

So Hachiman actually felt it was somewhat unfair.

In this way.

Hachiman stayed for another half hour.

Since Ichinose herself already had the idea of making changes, Hachiman only listened to her say some of her innermost thoughts.

We support her efforts in moving in this new direction.

So while it's regrettable to lose a companion, it's not all bad.

Or rather, she was actually at ease.

During last year's Commander Exam, she was very sad because a traitor had appeared in her class, and she even went out in the rain. Hachiman took her to the dormitory and made a promise with her.

I hope to see her become even stronger and more hardworking.

But now, Kanzaki has revealed that she is the traitor.

Moreover, it's not simply a matter of being judged, but rather a hope that the class will awaken, meaning there are no bad people in the class.

This made Ichinose feel at ease.

There's a sense of relief that everyone has been working hard and hasn't been betrayed.

Certainly.

In this exam, some students dropped out, and in the next exam, there may be students dropping out as well.

Their class will take the withdrawal exam more seriously and with greater seriousness.

Instead of adopting a policy of protecting everyone and not allowing anyone to drop out of school.

The points required and the opportunities missed are staggering. Cutting losses promptly is the key.

So although they started relatively late, Class Ichinose began to follow the school's rules - Meritocracy.

Hachiman actually gave them a good evaluation of this matter.

It seems that Ichinose's class is short of students, and may even continue to be short of students.

But.

Pulling back your fist is so you can punch it out more effectively.

If Class Ichinose can achieve this, although the chances are slim, it's not impossible for them to make it back to Class A.

So.

Keep striving forward and get more points, Ichinose!

It doesn't matter whether your class or Sakayanagi's class is Class A.

If someone is in Class A and has a high class evaluation score, then their expectations are met.

Of course, it's also possible that the class evaluation scores of Sakayanagi Class, Class Ichinose, and Ryuen's class would all be very high.

However, the person who would have a headache at that time was Chairman Sakayanagi.

Because if all classes have high class evaluation scores, it means that the budget is being exceeded every month.

But.

Hachiman raised his left hand.

Holding hands with a girl feels really good.

Shaking hands with Kushida feels very comfortable, shaking hands with Ichinose is quite exciting, and shaking hands with Horikita gives me a sense of calm and reassurance.

In other words, my heart races whether I hold hands with Horikita, Kushida, or Ichinose.

It seems I'm just an ordinary high school student, the kind of person who'll fall for anyone who's pretty and cute—a cheap case of teenage hormones raging around.

In this way.

Hachiman Hikigaya deeply criticized himself, then took out his phone and pulled up the message sent by Sakayanagi.

He decided to honestly go and do the work himself.

On the other side...

Off-campus.

"Congratulations, you can go back now."

Someone came to the apartment where Sakayanagi Morishiro lived today. Two bodyguards cleared the way, and then a middle-aged man with a blank expression but a rather stern look walked in.
