Chapter 068: The problem is with me, this is a school, not a company

"That..."

After listening to Hikigaya's analysis, Ichinose looked a bit complicated:

"I think Werewolf Game is not supposed to be this kind of game."

"Eh, is that so?"

Hikigaya was stunned for a moment.

He had always thought that this was a game where a fake socialite wanted to blend into a small group.

"So what do you think we should do, Ichinose?"

Hikigaya seriously brought the topic back: "Should we submit the answer to the school now?"

"Before that."

Ichinose pinched her white chin and pondered: "Hikigaya, you don't have any concrete evidence to prove your guess, do you?

"Yes."

Hikigaya nodded in agreement: "But for this exam, there can't be any evidence unless we can reach the root rule of 'strict adjustment', right?"

Even if someone put the school's text message in front of him.

Hikigaya was sure.

He still wouldn't believe it, and others would probably feel the same.

It's not easy to believe something, especially when it involves one's own interests.

Unless they find the answer they want themselves.

Therefore,

The VIP person essentially carries a gambling nature.

As long as the rule for the school to select the VIP person cannot be found, no matter how much analysis is done, there is a gambling element involved.

"Um."

Ichinose nodded in agreement: "But, Hikigaya, it seems like you want to submit the answer to the school?"

"Yes."

If you guess wrong, you lose fifty class points, and if you guess right, you can get five hundred thousand personal points and fifty class points.

As long as you're a normal person.

You'd probably want to give it a try.

After all, there's no punishment for the individual who commits the crime.

"But, I'll listen to you, Ichinose. If you agree, I'll send the email to the school, if you don't, then forget it."

After all,

The whole class is taking the risk.

He wouldn't risk the class for his own selfish desires.

The only one who could make such a decision.

Is a company leader, Ichinose, who is supported by the whole Class B.

"Um..."

For some reason, Ichinose frowned for a long time before she spoke seriously:

"Hikigaya, I'm glad you told me all this, but there's one thing I don't understand, can you answer me seriously?"

"Oh, sure."

Hikigaya nodded.

He was a bit confused, was this a difficult question to answer?

"If someone comes to me for advice because they're troubled, I'd be happy."

Ichinose looked at the boy in front of her with serious eyes:

"But Hikigaya, you came to ask for my opinion even though you're sure and have the idea of submitting the answer to the school in advance, why is that?"

"Why?"

Hikigaya frowned even more confused: "Because if I guess wrong, we'll lose fifty class points, and since you're the class leader, Ichinose, naturally I have to ask for your opinion, is there a problem with that?"

He really couldn't figure out what the problem was.

Doing something risky for the company.

Naturally, you have to ask the leader's opinion first, this should be considered common social sense, right?

Those who act on their own.

Won't be appreciated by the leader, and may even be fired later.

"Sure enough..."

Ichinose couldn't help but purse her lips and ask, "So Hikigaya, do you know what Kanzaki and the others would do in this situation?"

"Of course, they would discuss it with you."

Hikigaya was even more speechless.

It felt like their conversation was on different wavelengths.

"No, they wouldn't."

Ichinose shook her head slightly, "If there are some things they don't understand or need help with, they would indeed come to me for discussion. But if Kanzaki is certain, he would act on his own, and so would the others."

"Hold on, hold on."

Hikigaya hurriedly said, "That's not right, is it? It's not right to act without the leader's approval, is it?"

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Ichinose continued to shake her head, "That's because Kanzaki and the others know that I would definitely support them, and I also trust everyone just the same."

However,

Ichinose's pretty face showed a hint of bitterness,

"It seems like we haven't earned your trust yet, Hikigaya."

"No..."

"No need to explain, I'm not angry.

Ichinose's beautiful eyes stared into his dead fish eyes,

"In Hikigaya's eyes, you probably see Class B as a company and me as a superior, don't you?"

"Uh..."

Hikigaya was suddenly choked up.

He did indeed treat the class as a company, and it seemed like there was nothing to refute. But isn't that how schools are designed?

"But."

Ichinose took Hikigaya's hand, her gaze gentle,

"We are a class, there's no hierarchy. Being elected as class president is just mean that everyone is trusting me."

"We are going to spend three years together, the best of partners. I don't want to look back on these three years and only see cold relationships of interest."

"Hikigaya, although I don't know what you've been through."

"But I, we all hope that you can see us as friends, as partners, not as colleagues and leaders."

"Do you understand?"

Feeling Ichinose's soft and boneless hand, the warmth from her palm made Hikigaya somewhat at a loss and wanted to withdraw.

However, feeling his movement, Ichinose couldn't help but exert even greater strength, not letting him escape easily.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!

Isn't this wrong?

Isn't this too strange?

Is there something wrong with me?

Hikigaya had a moment of self-doubt.

Was it him who was too cold, treating the class as a company, treating Ichinose as a boss, not treating Ichinose and others as partners?

No mutual trust?

No matter how you think about it, it's a bit strange.

"So what about the exam?"

Hikigaya asked with a puzzled face.

"Of course, it's up to you, Hikigaya."

Without waiting for his response, Ichinose showed a brilliant smile,

"If you guess wrong, as long as we can work together to win it back in the future, it's fine, isn't it?"

"It's not that simple, right?"

Hikigaya said with a bit of a headache.

Whether it's Ryuen, Horikita Suzune, Katsuragi, or Sakayanagi who they haven't met yet, they're obviously not easy to deal with.

"That's right."

Ichinose nodded with a smile, "The other classes are not so easy to deal with, but as long as we work together and trust each other, I believe we can all rise to Class A. That's why our class is being watched by everyone, isn't it?"

"Uh..."

Hikigaya hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Alright."

"That's fine."

Only then did Ichinose let go of his hand and stood up, "We Rabbit Group have some things to do, I'll go first."

"Oh, then I'll go pay for it."

Hikigaya stood up wanting to pick up the bill, but Ichinose grabbed it first,

"I'll go. It seems like Hikigaya is a bit confused, it's better to rest here for a bit."

"Umm...."

"Hikigaya quickly said, 'After all, I asked you to come here, wasting your private time, as an apology, let me do it.'"

"Not really,"

Ichinose shook her head helplessly: "We're friends, how can there be a waste of each other's time?"

"Uh, but it's not good for you to pay the bill after all, right?"

"What does it matter?"

Ichinose held up the small bill in her hand and laughed: "This time I'll do it, next time Hikigaya can treat me, anyway, that's the decision, see you tomorrow."

After said that

Ichinose smiled and turned to leave.

Hikigaya watched her back, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Friends

It always feels a bit strange, but I can't figure out what's strange.

....

On the other side,

After leaving the coffee shop.

Ichinose looked at her phone with a frown.

If Hikigaya's theory is used, then there is one person in the Rabbit Group who is very suspicious and completely different from the usual performance.

However,

Thinking about the cooperation between Class B and Class D.

Ichinose rubbed her somewhat aching temples.

Although she let Hikigaya decide freely, it seems a bit inappropriate to attack Class D like this, after all, there is still cooperation between the two sides.

But Hikigaya is a member of Class B after all.

If Hikigaya continues like this, he will undoubtedly be ostracized by Class B and become a marginal person in Class B.

Compared to the cooperation between the two classes.

Ichinose is more inclined to take care of Hikigaya's thoughts.

Hoping to change Hikigaya's mind and make him friends with everyone.

So

What should she do?

After thinking for a while.

Ichinose still decided to wait and see.

After all, there is a huge gap between Class D and Class B now, and there is no need to be so vigilant.

What needs to be guarded against is Class A and Class C.

....

At night

In the dormitory.

Kanzaki and others are taking turns to wash up.

Hikigaya is lying on the bed, staring at the bunk above.

He can't let it go for a long time.

No matter how he thinks about it, he feels that Ichinose's theory is a bit off. Although he can't say where it's wrong, it just feels wrong

At least he can't agree with it.

Forget it.

Hikigaya sits up and takes out his phone.

Strictly speaking.

Now he has also obtained Ichinose's permission to act freely, right?

Since Ichinose said not to worry about class risks.

Then he won't worry either.

After reviewing and organizing his thoughts in his mind again, Hikigaya still feels that his judgment is not wrong.

Kushida Kikyo is most likely the VIP one.

Among these people.

No matter how you think about it, she is the most suspicious.

Having made up his mind.

Hikigaya sends Kushida Kikyo's name to the school's designated email.

[The Dragon Group's exam is over. Dragon Group students do not need to take the exam afterwards. Please be careful not to disturb other students.]

[The Monkey Group's exam is over. Monkey Group students do not need to take the exam afterwards. Please be careful not to disturb other students.]

As if in response to his actions.

Hikigaya receives two emails as soon as he connects.

"Hey, what's going on?"

Watanabe, who was playing with his phone, was instantly panicked, "How come two groups have finished their exams all of a sudden, Kanzaki, Hikigaya, how come your Dragon Group is also over?"

"What?"

Kanzaki, who was taking a bath, rushed out wrapped in a towel.

"What did you just say?"

"Umm...."

Shibata also looked at the two with some heaviness, "The school says that the Dragon Group and Monkey Group exams are over, do you two know anything about it?"

"Ah?"

Hikigaya raised his hand to indicate, "It was me who send the text message for The Dragon Group to the school, I don't know about the Monkey Group."

"What?"

Kanzaki's voice rose a few more points again, and the other two also widened their eyes.

"Hikigaya..."

Watanabe hesitated for a moment, "You didn't just send it randomly, did you?"

"Of course not."

Hikigaya was somewhat speechless, "I have a seventy percent certainty, and besides, Ichinose also agreed to this."

"Oh... is that so..."

Kanzaki's expression relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Hikigaya." Shibata said with some complexity, "How did you find out?"

"Nothing special."

Hikigaya repeated the reason he had given to Ichinose.

It's not that big of a deal.

Only someone like him,

Who sits quietly observing from beginning to end could possibly discover it.

In this regard, he is very confident.

"Yeah"

Kanzaki nodded, quite agreeing with his reasoning.

"I just don't know how the other classes are doing now."

Seeing the topic being diverted, Hikigaya no longer responded.

With two groups' exams ending in succession.

The other classes are probably going to become even more panicked.
