Hachiman-senpai Has No Idea He's Actually So Popular, Does He?

Nor would anyone be punished for placing low in the individual score rankings.

However, Classmate Sakayanagi's class was the same as before. Classmate Sakayanagi probably would not be able to compete, and this time, she would not be able to earn points for her class either. Everyone had a base score of five points, and by participating in five events, they could receive an additional five points regardless of their placement.

But her body would not allow her to participate in any events, so not only would she be unable to receive the extra points, the points she had earned would even be confiscated at the end of the Sports Festival because she had withdrawn from the events.

That meant her five base points would be taken away as well.

However, even if she ended up in last place this time, she would not be punished.

"Th-then, during these past few morning training sessions, I saw Chabashira-sensei," Sakura continued. "Chabashira-sensei greeted us on the first day."

"She did on the second day too."

"But on the third day, starting yesterday until today, she hasn't come to morning training."

"So I was thinking," Sakura said.

"Could it be because of Hachiman that Chabashira-sensei stopped coming?" Sakura asked.

Huh?

Why him?

Shouldn't it be because she saw the two of them that Chabashira-sensei stopped coming?

Hachiman looked over.

Sakura continued, "Because whenever Hachiman's name comes up, Sensei seems a little absentminded."

"Hachiman, was it because during the Cultural Festival performance, you shouted something that sounded like a confession to Chabashira-sensei from among the student seats, and it... it shook her up?" Sakura said.

"..." Hachiman Hikigaya.

Come to think of it, hadn't Sakura been backstage at the time?

How had she managed to pick out his voice from among so many people?
