Chapter 067: The Person in Charge is There to Take Responsibility

"Pay first."

Hikigaya placed his phone on the table.

He could trust Ichinose, Horikita Suzune, and even Katsuragi.

He wasn't asking for a contract.

But,

Ryuen is an asshole

From his way of doing things, it's clear that he has no credibility.

Including Sakayanagi, who also left a bad impression on him

Although it's only a one-sided understanding, but to damage the class interest without any hesitation in order to drive Katsuragi out of office, obviously, he is not a trustworthy guy.

"Take it."

An additional forty thousand was transferred to the phone.

Hikigaya then showed the screen to Ryuen, noticing that the short-haired girl with glasses from Class A next door was peeking, he raised his hand to block it.

"Tsk."

The other party blatantly clicked her tongue and paid no more attention.

The phone screen showed that he was indeed not selected as the favored one.

Seeing Hikigaya so easily show the school's text message, Ryuen frowned, somewhat disbelieving.

"Show me all the text messages from your Class B."

"You'll have to ask Kanzaki and the others about that."

Hikigaya took back his phone with satisfaction.

The only person he could represent was himself, and no matter what he said, a suspicious person like Ryuen would not believe him.

"Don't joke around."

Kanzaki's eyes were sharp: "Hikigaya, if you're satisfied, just sit tight and don't say anything unnecessary."

Although he believed that Hikigaya would not betray.

But,

No matter what the reason.

I'm afraid from the perspective of outsiders, it will only feel that Class B is not united, and it will only add trouble.

"Yes, yes."

Hikigaya rested his arms and observed the others.

This sentence is probably not entirely for him, and it also implies a refusal to Ryuen.

Ryuen also heard Kanzaki's refusal, thought for a moment, sat directly on the table, turned his head to look at the others and joked:

"What about the others?"

"Instead of letting the favored one hide and get 500.000 personal points, why don't you all learn from Hikigaya and show me your phones, how about that?"

"At least I'll give you a good price."

"Starting now, the first one to show me their phone gets a 100.000 points, the second one gets 80.000, the third one gets 60.000, and so on!"

In the face of high rewards.

How would non-favored people think?

Do they firmly believe that they can find the favored one and get five hundred thousand, or do they take the money from Ryuen and leave for safety? Let Class C increase fifty class points for nothing.

If the class discipline is not strong.

I'm afraid most ordinary people would choose the more stable income.

After all, the only ones who would suffer are the classes of the favored ones.

"Why do I only get 40.000."

Hikigaya was a bit dissatisfied.

I was the first one to show you.

"Because you're the dumbest."

Ryuen was blunt.

Although he still can't believe that Hikigaya is not the favored one, maybe this is also part of Class B's plan.

But this guy's confident and excited expression.

It's infuriating to look at.

He's already taken 50.000 private points from him in two days, and he hasn't gotten any actual benefits yet. He, Ryuen, is not that generous.

However

Upon hearing Ryuen's words, the Dragon Group remained silent.

It's clear that Class A is highly organized, and Class D is not interested, but it's uncertain whether anyone will approach Ryuen individually after the discussion ends.

"It seems that Class A has decided to be a complete turtle."

Ryuen pushed off the table and walked over to a few people in Class D, sizing up the people in front of him and starting to tease:

"So, what about Class D? Suzune, If you are willing to show your phone, I have no problem giving you a special 150,000."

"Don't ignore me, it's so rude."

Horikita Suzune said sharply, "Ryuen, I advise you to go back to elementary school and relearn social etiquette."

"That's none of your concern. 150,000 is not a small number, Suzune, aren't you moved at all?"

"Ridiculous."

Horikita Suzune said disdainfully, "Showing your phone will also help you narrow down the range. Do you think Class D will do something that benefits Class C?

"Don't compare me with that idiot over there. It won't be funny if we're overtaken by Class C."

Hmm.

The idiot should not be referring to me, right?

This terrible woman.

It's unbearable.

Hikigaya glared at her fiercely, only to be blocked by Horikita Suzune's cold gaze.

No way. This woman is really too scary.

"Well..."

Hirata stood up and soothed, "Ryuen, I'm afraid no one will agree with this. We might as well use some more constructive methods."

"Yes, Ryuen."

Kushida Kikyo also smiled sweetly, "I hope you don't underestimate us because we are Class D. We won't do anything that harms the class.

Speaking of which.

He has been ignoring this woman so many times in a row.

Theoretically speaking.

It wouldn't be surprising if she felt annoyed or embarrassed.

However

Hikigaya didn't see any displeasure in her eyes at all.

On the contrary, every time their eyes met, Kushida Kikyo's face turned red and she dared not look at him.

As a high grade bitch

She really has a good temper and a strong heart

This is the first time Hikigaya has encountered such a persistent plaster.

Next.

Ryuen continued to press step by step.

But as Kushida Kikyo said, no one here would be scared by him.

An hour quickly passed, and the first discussion ended.

Hikigaya got up and left the room.

"Hikigaya."

At this moment, Amikura Mako patted his shoulder and said, "Kanzaki asked me to come over and ask, what did you mean by your actions just now?"

"Eh? Nothing special."

Hikigaya looked at the pretty ponytailed girl in front of him and said somewhat surprisingly:

"I just thought that even if I showed my phone to Ryuen, he wouldn't easily believe it, so I might as well take the opportunity to earn some personal points. But if Kanzaki has any questions, why doesn't he ask himself?"

"Who knows."

Amikura Mako tilted her head and thought for a while, "He probably has his own thoughts. Anyway, it's not a problem to leave it to Kanzaki."

"Indeed."

Hikigaya nodded.

After all, he is the second in command of the class, Kanzaki might have some thoughts.

"Then I'll go first."

"Eh? Hikigaya, why don't you eat something with us? We can also discuss the exam."

"I have something to do next, so I don't need to."

The other party was probably just making a polite invitation. If he agreed rashly and the other party expressed 'you're coming' in a troubled manner, it would be somewhat sorry.

Hikigaya habitually refused, and indeed, Amikura Mako didn't say anything more.

....

Top floor café.

Back in his own domain, Hikigaya hesitated slightly as he looked at Ichinose's contact information on his phone.

At this moment,

Ichinose and the others were probably discussing the exam with the people from Class B, or having some sort of gathering.

It felt a bit inappropriate to disturb them out of the blue.

However,

As a corporate slave.

Reporting, contacting, and negotiating are necessary.

It didn't matter during the uninhabited island exam, after all, it was unknown whether his actions had any impact.

But for the preferential treatment exam.

Every move he made would affect Class B.

If he succeeded, it would be fine, but if he failed, he couldn't bear the responsibility. It would be better to let Ichinose decide.

As long as he did his reporting, contacting, and negotiating well, he could shift the responsibility to his superiors.

Isn't the job of the person in charge to take responsibility?

After hesitating for a moment.

[Hikigaya_Hachiman: I have something to report, do you have time now?]

[Ichinose_Honami: We're all classmates, Hikigaya, you don't have to be so polite. Is there something you can't say over the phone?]

Ichinose's reply was as swift as ever.

If she waited until tomorrow morning to reply like her junior high school classmates, that would be a bit of a headache.

[Hikigaya_Hachiman: Well, it's not impossible, it's just a bit important, I feel it would be better to talk face to face.]

[Ichinose_Honami: I understand, where are you now, Hikigaya? I'll be right there.]

This reply was a bit slower.

She was probably explaining to the people around her.

Hikigaya gave her the address, and within ten minutes, Ichinose appeared in front of him.

"Hello, Hikigaya~"

Ichinose greeted him and sat down across from him, curiously looking around:

"I've never seen you on the cruise ship before, have you been here all along, Hikigaya?"

"Sort of."

Hikigaya looked at the coffee on the table, feeling a bit awkward drinking it alone.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"Tea would be nice."

After ordering the drinks, Ichinose got straight to the point: "What did you want to talk to me about, Hikigaya?"

"Um."

Hikigaya nodded: "I think I know who the VIP person in the Dragon Group is, I want to hear your opinion."

If you guess right.

You can get fifty class points.

If you guess wrong.

You will lose fifty class points.

Although he had a rough idea of who it was, the decision to submit the answer to the school could only be made by Ichinose.

"?? Eh?"

Ichinose was slightly taken aback, then stood up in a panic:

"You figured it out? Eh? Wait a minute."

After a brief panic, Ichinose sat back down, looked around, and lowered her voice:

"The Dragon Group has Ryuen, Katsuragi, and Horikita, right? It shouldn't be that easy to figure out, how did you figure it out, Hikigaya."

In other words,

She's a bit skeptical of his abilities.

Wondering if he's been fooled by Ryuen and others.

"Indeed."

"It could be their traps"

"So, I only have a seventy percent certainty."

Hikigaya didn't refute and nodded.

Both Horikita Suzune and Ryuen are undoubtedly very talented.

He's no match for these people.

But when it comes to human observation, he's quite confident in his abilities.

"Ichinose, have you ever play Werewolf game?"

Seeing Ichinose still somewhat confused, Hikigaya crossed his arms, raised a finger, and said somewhat proudly:

"In simple terms."

"It's about finding a group of people pretending to fit in among a crowd, and driving those fake social butterflies out of the small circle."

"In the game of Werewolf."

"Words are useless, logic is secondary!"

"What's important is the confidence in taking sides and speaking. Fake social butterflies can't have an equal conversation with real social butterflies. They're often a bit timid when they speak, and even have a bit of a fawning tone."

"As long as you understand this, finding the VIP ones is a breeze."

The basis is naturally himself.

Although he doesn't have friends to play Werewolf with, he can only play all twelve roles by himself.

He quickly realized.

In front of a real master.

Logic is the least reliable thing.

Whether it's a straight game or a reverse game, you can always make sense of it.

In simple terms (again).

It's not about "he said, she said".

What's important are the unnoticed things like voting, tone of speech, and mindset.

If you're the VIP one: you're bound to think about how to survive, and your behavior will inevitably change.

If you're not the VIP one: you're bound to think about finding the VIP ones to add fifty class points and five hundred thousand personal points for the class, and your aggression will be maxed out.

Although masters will disguise themselves, Ryuen and others' acting skills are not bad.

But their speeches have still changed.

Hikigaya Hachiman proudly explained his reasoning:

"Let's not talk about Katsuragi for now, he probably doesn't even know who the VIP ones in Class A.

Ryuen is full of aggression.

Even agreeing to a forty thousand personal points deal, Only for a possibility that he is the VIP.

The flaw lies with Horikita Suzune.

When faced with Ryuen's attack, Horikita Suzune's first reaction is to divert the topic to Class A, distracting attention.

Clearly a fake social butterfly.

Obviously,

She's likely to know who the privileged ones are, and her second speech is also a diversion.

The privileged ones must be in Class D.

The only ones left are Hirata and Kushida Kikyo.

Despite being very sociable, they don't show it at all, instead letting Horikita Suzune take the lead.

Obviously a bit guilty.

Hirata's speech is the same as Horikita Suzune's, both are diverting the topic outward, while Kushida Kikyo's speech is more self-centered.

"So, there's a seventy percent chance that she's the privileged one in the Dragon Group."

As soon as he finished speaking.

Hikigaya regretted it a bit.

Because otaku can't stop talking when it comes to their hobbies, that's why they are not popular

Ichinose in front of him was indeed speechless with wide eyes.
