Got Myself a Girlfriend!? Part 1! (12k)

Then.

Kei Karuizawa, blonde with a single ponytail, is thin yet lively.

He overheard her talking to boys, like Chi. When she noticed Chi was blocking her way, she scolded him with a tone that was particularly hostile towards others, such as "You're blocking me... How disgusting." However, Chi would also curse back at her.

It's fair to say that although she's cute, she's not popular with boys.

Moreover, she was a gyaru (gal) girl, and formed a gyaru group with Sato, Satsuki Shinohara, Chiaki Matsushita.

And it seems that he became the leader among them.

Result...

Hirata, he needs a Disciplinary Committee Member, and you're actually recommending someone with a bad reputation?

"So, that's why you kept staring at the other person during PE class?"

The next day, Hachiman and the others had a physical education class.

After talking with Hirata yesterday, Hachiman began to observe his target.

However, it seems that Horikita misunderstood.

I have to say that Horikita's performance at yesterday's study session wasn't very good.

However, let's get some information from Suzune Horikita.

Because she was in charge of tutoring Karuizawa and Sato at the study session.

"What do you think of Karuizawa?" Hachiman asked.

"At least I won't be staring at other people's swimsuits all the time," Suzune Horikita said.

"..." Hachiman.

That's really going too far; his gaze was only forced to drift over.

Since it's PE class now, everyone is playing in the water.

Meanwhile, Kōenji showed off his skills, swimming in front of Sudō at a speed that Sudō couldn't catch up with, leaving Sudō frustrated and withdrawn.

They probably wondered why Kōenji was so awesome.

Hachiman's attention was more ordinary; he focused on the girls.

Karuizawa is playing ball with Sato and the others right now.

Sakura, whom Hachiman knew, didn't go into the water, and didn't even change into the school's unfashionable swimsuit. Instead, she stayed in a chair by asking for leave.

Hachiman understood.

She probably has such a great figure that she would attract attention if she wore a swimsuit.

Besides her, Hachiman also noticed that Hasebe was there too.

It's probably for the same reason.

However, Hachiman noticed that Hasebe seemed to be trying to strike up a conversation with Sakura.

Many friendships begin with mutual appreciation based on shared circumstances. Keep it up, Sakura.

Hachiman hopes that Sakura can make some friends.

But let's focus on someone else for now.

Horikita, unaware that Hachiman was thinking of someone else, shared what she knew.

"Her grades are terrible," Suzune Horikita said.

Um.

As expected of her.

So, do we still have to seek information from Kushida?

And that's what I was thinking.

"However, there's something strange about Karuizawa," Suzune Horikita said. "She always wears her swimsuit underneath her clothes before her swimming lesson."

Oh.

Is that so?

But there are also people who, because they enjoy playing in the water and get excited, act like children, putting on their swimsuits first and then putting on a...

"There's nothing strange about that," Hachiman said.

"But she continues to wear her swimsuit after swimming lessons," Suzune Horikita said. "... It's like she doesn't change clothes with everyone else."

Is that so?

If that's the case, then we definitely need to pay attention.

Is there a reason why you can't expose your body in front of others? Even though you're all the same sex.

"Whoa—"

And at this time.

A splash appeared in the pond in front of Hachiman.

This is Kushida, who was just playing in the water with others. "I couldn't swim when I was in junior high school, but I studied really hard and finally learned."

What a lovely girl.

From Hachiman's angle, his heart would probably be racing.

Only.

Kushida, we're not saying anything bad about you, so you don't need to come and interfere every time.

This wasn't the first time he'd talked to Kushida Horikita.

Moreover, even now, Kushida has not won over Suzune Horikita. In fact, it has been more than a month, and she still insists on waiting for Suzune Horikita at her dormitory every day so they can go to school together.

Only.

Such behavior only makes people feel annoyed.

It might even make you feel upset.

So, it's hard to tell whether Kushida wants to or doesn't want to get along with Suzune Horikita.

Then it was noon.

Because he received a message that someone was offering to cover lunch, Hachiman gave up eating with Suzune Horikita in class and instead chose to go eat the free meal.

P. S.: The chapter is a bit long, please forgive me. My mind was only focused on typing and I didn't think about chapter breaks at all.

Chapter 75 Getting a Girlfriend!? Let's Go! (12k)

Hachiman chose to eat the free meal.

As Class C, well, for now we're just Class C, but we're actually from the original Class D, so we'll probably drop down to Class A after we've finished our bluff, and then we probably won't have much money for living expenses.

In this way.

Isn't it a great thing to be invited to dinner these days?

The location is the same old place.

While waiting for the staff to bring the meal, Hachiman's gaze shifted.

Because.

Sitting next to him was a petite girl with silver-white hair, fair and translucent skin, and regular features. She was even excessively cute. This was a girl named Sakayanagi Arisu, who seemed to come from another dimension.

On the edge of the table was a black cane, which seemed to indicate that the person was in poor health; the person looked frail and delicate, which made one want to protect them.

Of course, even Hachiman knew that this was just an illusion.

Although she looks delicate and easily pushed over, this Sakayanagi Arisu is a genuine scumbag loli.

Moreover, its attack power is extremely strong.

Hachiman wanted to challenge Class A, but he didn't have much of a chance of winning if he fought them. So Hachiman hoped that Sakayanagi Arisu wouldn't take control of Class A.

It's obvious.

That's impossible.

"You seem to be in a good mood," came Classmate Sakayanagi's pleasant voice.

"After all, someone else is treating us to dinner," Hachiman said.

"So, are there any special requirements regarding the food?" Sakayanagi Arisu continued to inquire.

"Mom said not to be a picky eater," Hachiman said.

That means I eat everything.

"Then they're really easy to raise," Sakayanagi Arisu said, as if she had made a judgment.

"..." Kamuro.

But don't forget that although this is Sakayanagi Arisu room, there are often three people here.

As an observer, Kamuro did not think that Hachiman Hikigaya was an easy person to support.

Because he wants the expensive ones.

And Sakayanagi Arisu usually gives him expensive gifts.

However, Kamuro also knew that Sakayanagi Arisu.

In other words...

"Now that you've eaten my food, you can speak," Sakayanagi Arisu said. "What are your thoughts on this Special Exam?"

Do you have any thoughts?

Hachiman thought about it for a moment.

Sakayanagi Arisu said that she wanted to experience a different kind of campus life at this school.

In other words, she's actually quite bored and hopes to be interesting.

This Special Exam was... well, it was definitely not a good opportunity for her or Class A.

Since it was just a written exam, their class could get the top score given by Chabashira-sensei even with their eyes closed.

In other words, if no one fails the exam and the average score across all subjects is above 80, then a perfect score of 100 in the class evaluation will be awarded.

The students in Class A are confident that they can get the 100-point reward.

So Sakayanagi Arisu probably already knew the results of the exam, so naturally... this exam became boring.

So you called him over under the pretense of treating him to a meal, but actually you just wanted to have some fun?

Yes.

For Class C, which is full of underachievers, this exam is a disaster for them.

Class C also had a plan for dealing with this, such as inviting the top students from Class B to come and help.

However, Hachiman felt that Sakayanagi Arisu definitely didn't care about such normal methods.

"For Class C, there's a foolproof plan," Hachiman said. "It's about controlling the score."

"Controlling scores?" Kamuro, Nannan, asked.

"Yes." As if noticing that Kamuro was taking grades and exams seriously, Hachiman glanced at him and then began to talk about the score control method that Hirata.

"Then your Class C probably can't do it," Sakayanagi Arisu said. "Because of the lack of trust between each other, if someone writes more and gets a higher score, it might raise the average score, which would then cause the failing score to rise as well."

In other words, she also thinks so, believing that Class C is not united.

It's not just a matter of disunity; even now, we need Hirata as a glue to hold us together.

"But there's actually another way for Class C to complete this plan," Hachiman said. "And I call it Operation Zero Points."

"The Zero-Point Challenge?"

"Yes." Hachiman nodded. "It means that after the test papers are handed out, everyone writes their names and then puts down their pens."
