Chapter 019: President Ichinose

Special Teaching Building, Fifth Floor.

Classroom 5-4.

It seems that there are plenty of vacant classrooms, perhaps Commander Horikita wants to minimize the impact of his money plundering scheme.

There aren't many people on this floor, and no clubs can be seen.

The staircase is just next door.

Hikigaya Hachiman arrives outside the classroom, takes out a key, and opens the room.

He got the key when he went to the student council room at noon.

Although the club has not been officially established, the classroom can still be used. As long as two people are recruited by the end of April, it's fine. Otherwise, it will be taken back.

Such a system.

It seems to give those who want to establish a club some time to prepare.

In addition,

This school's clubs do not require a teacher to act as an advisor.

Everything depends on oneself.

But if needed, the school can arrange coaches, nutritionists, team doctors, club managers, etc.

Such extravagance!

He has also come to understand this school.

Most things are handled by students themselves, with sufficient assistance provided.

It's like simulating a small society.

Each class is like a company competing with each other.

It's all about supremacy.

The purpose of establishing this school is probably to cultivate students into elite corporate slaves!

"How terrifying."

Hikigaya walks into the classroom with a sense of helplessness.

Forced to experience the grind of corporate life before even reaching adulthood, Japan truly proves to be a merciless country.

This is too much!

But correspondingly,

I believe that as long as one possesses enough strength, they can lead a highly comfortable life in this school.

But for him, a weakling,

He still has some self-awareness and knows his limits. It's enough to just go with the flow and slack off.

Slacking off at work,

This is an essential skill for becoming an excellent corporate slave!

Fortunately, his President Ichinose doesn't seem to be a heartless boss and probably won't fire employees casually.

Then he can slack off as much as he wants!

If he can just get promoted to Class A and have the opportunity to choose his career freely, there's nothing happier than getting something for nothing!

It's great to be assigned to Class B!

Hikigaya looks forward to his future life with anticipation.

Inside the classroom,

It's quite empty, with a few desks and chairs piled up in the back.

For other equipment,

You need to apply to the school according to club activities, but basically anything related to club activities will be approved.

As long as you write a good article, you won't lack praise from your boss!

But any equipment, such as computers and game consoles, are strictly prohibited from being taken out of school.

Hikigaya moves the desks and chairs to the center of the classroom.

For him,

Whether or not the Sheep Shearing Club can be established doesn't matter much.

Whether it's in the dormitory or at school, there's not much difference.

It just slightly improves living conditions.

You can freeload nutritious meals. If you don't mind leftovers, you can even freeload three meals a day. You can also freeload computers and handheld game consoles and other entertainment tools.

Because All of this falls within the scope of the Sheep Shearing Club's activities.

However, all of these seem somewhat unrelated.

Therefore,

As for finding people to join the club,

He doesn't take it very seriously. Everything depends on fate. Anyway, there are already two people in Sheep Shearing Club now. He should thank Hero Kanzaki for this.

In addition,

If a club is established,

The student council seems to conduct random inspections. If you're often absent, it's likely that your club will be cancelled.

After tidying up everything,

Hikigaya leans back in his chair. He doesn't regret what he did yesterday. On the contrary, it makes him feel more relaxed inside.

"Knock knock knock."

At this moment, there's a knock on the door.

Hikigaya looks at it somewhat unexpectedly: "Come in!"

It seems that,

Even in a top national school with so many outstanding individuals, there are still many people like him who want to slack off.

Who wouldn't like Sheep Shearing Club?

As the door swings open, the hero Kanzaki and ..... black cat girl? come into view.

"Is this some kind of joke?"

Himeno Yuki is somewhat speechless, not expecting Kanzaki to actually find him.

On the other side,

Hikigaya Hachiman is even more surprised.

Why are they here?

Could it be that Kanzaki has already developed a sense of being a formal member of the Sheep Shearing Club and is actively recruiting for him?

As expected of the hero Kanzaki!

"Sit down."

Hikigaya moves two chairs for them to the sides of the square table, then excitedly rummages through his bag for the application forms.

Unexpectedly,

The requirement of three formal members was met so easily.

In his eyes,

No one can resist the temptation of Sheep shearing club

"Um..."

Hikigaya hands the application form to the black cat girl, forgetting her name for a moment, and quickly corrects himself:

"The club doesn't have any particular requirements. You don't have to come regularly."

It would be best if you didn't come!

Hikigaya hints wildly.

Kanzaki doesn't look like someone who would come to the club.

He's just a ghost member.

This way, he can monopolize the club funds for three people and buy whatever he wants!

Certainly, it is entirely feasible to allocate funds for an individual.

"? ??"

Himeno Yuki takes the application form, her head full of question marks.

"Uh, Hikigaya-kun, I didn't bring her here to join the club."

Kanzaki quickly explains from the side: "We came to ask about Ichinose's situation?"

"What? And here I was getting all excited for nothing."

Hearing this, Hikigaya is somewhat speechless.

This leaves Kanzaki even more stunned, as he begins to understand what Himeno Yuki meant by 'natural'.

It seems Hikigaya has become more direct.

In fact,

After making everything clear with Ichinose, he had made the decision to no longer be concerned about anyone's feelings and to embrace his true self.

On the other side, Himeno Yuki also widens her eyes.

Is he being this straightforward?

"Talk about Ichinose?"

Hikigaya asks with some confusion: "But I don't have much to do with her. You guys should know her better than I do."

"That should be the case."

Kanzaki nods indifferently: "But we felt that Ichinose seemed a bit down today. Do you have any thoughts on this? Or rather, what did you say to her after we parted ways yesterday?"

"I see..."

Hikigaya murmurs to himself.

In that case, it probably does have something to do with him.

He just didn't expect that Ichinose wouldn't tell anyone else about these things and would bear them alone.

It can be said that she took care of his reputation within the class.

Although it sounds a bit narcissistic,

There likely isn't any other plausible explanation.

She really is a gentle and strong person.

"It seems you do know something."

Kanzaki's face becomes serious, and Himeno Yuki also looks at him scrutinizingly from the side.

If they had to choose between him and Ichinose,

They would undoubtedly stand on Ichinose's side without hesitation.

"Well, I guess so."

Having decided to lay make everything clear, Hikigaya no longer has any intention of pretending. He takes a deep breath and repeats what he said to Ichinose yesterday:

"If you're only being nice to me out of pity, I'd rather you didn't."

Hikigaya gazes at the table and speaks in a low voice.

He's prepared for Kanzaki and whoever else to scold him. This is the price he should pay.

"So that's what you said to Ichinose. No wonder she seemed so down today."

Kanzaki looks slightly complicated and apologizes after hesitating for a moment:

"I'm sorry. It seems we were inconsiderate and ended up hurting you."

"Huh?"

Hikigaya lifts his head slightly. He never expected that they would apologize first. Himeno Yuki, who was ready to scold him just now, is even more stunned.

Aren't they supposed to scold him at this point?

"But,"

Kanzaki continues with a serious look in his eyes:

"Hikigaya-kun, you should know that no matter whether Ichinose is acting out of pity or some other reason, she definitely doesn't mean to hurt you!"

That's right,

Whether it's out of pity or sympathy,

Ichinose definitely doesn't mean to hurt him.

"Yeah... I know."

Hikigaya nods and takes a deep breath: "Don't worry. I'll handle it properly."

Ichinose definitely doesn't mean to hurt him, but his words undoubtedly hurt Ichinose, which is why she's so down.

Since he caused the problem, he should fix it.
