Chapter 73

Only, it's not a good thing to be held accountable by the Student council president.

'But, what if there's a reward and... just maybe, I can trick the other party?

In this way, after school, Hachiman put the bag in his dormitory and headed out towards the location, which was sent.

There is a public bathhouse, but it was really far away from the student dormitory, and that's why, only few students come here.

But, there are many places like these around Hachiman's original residence. 'I remember when I was young, I visited that place, with my sister Komachi, because the tub at home was broken....'

'But, I still remember, that the milk in the bathhouse was quite delicious!'

However, it still feels a little strange, why is that a meeting place?

Although, there is no need to pay for the one inside the school...but, you do need to pay for towels, shampoo, soap, etc. 'In total, I need to pay 700 private points.'

Only, after Hachiman washed his body and wrapped it in a towel, he suddenly came to his senses.

Because, he didn't come here to take a shower.....it was an appointment made, by the President, even the payment was transferred in advance.

'But, Horikita-nii's location is inside the bathhouse...probably busy in the sauna...'

Probably, because the time was very early, there were not many people around here.

That's why, Hachiman didn't seem to hesitate, and directly pushed open the door of the sauna room.

Because the heat inside was quite outrageous, and the door was also set very heavy.

But even though, he just pushed a corner.

"....." Hachiman. 'Someone is already here....'

And, that person was just sitting with a towel around him. Bare upper body, wearing black glasses in such a hot place.

Only, because of Hachiman's loud actions, he must have noticed.

"Who... Hikigaya, you're already here."

"...." Hachiman, who was busy staring at this person's chest.

"Why are you just standing there?"

This opponent is none other than, the Student council president - Horikita Manabu, and his voice sounded a little excited, very contrast to the one he used in the deliberation room, this guy probably enjoyed a lot coming here.

...It's just that, Hachiman also noticed that his glasses were clouded, and it was quite strange, that he could still be identified.

"...Sorry for bothering you." He didn't have any choice, and started to move those legs albeit, with some reluctance....'This feeling is really strange now.'

Since there was just one bench inside, Hachiman had to sit directly next to him.

Everyone on this campus, knows that Horikita Manabu is obviously busy with official work, but still his figure is just.....awesome.

Specifically... he has six-pack abs.

'That means hard training...and Horikita also studies 10 hours every day.....'

Even though, he is always busy with paper work, monitoring all the club activities and such, Horikita-nii has not forgotten to exercise.

'These two people do have one thing in common.....self-discipline....'

"You are a little thin, how about you exercise, and gain some muscles?" Manabu pushed up his glasses, and stared at Hachiman's naked body, then shook his head slightly.

Even though, this statement was thrown to hurt Hachiman's pride as a man.....but, his goal is to be a housewife, so there's obviously no need for becoming a sportsman like Sudo.

That's why, Hachiman ignored that rude comment, and after sitting down, his lips were opened, "Is there anything going on this time?"

"...." Manabu. 'Did he just...' "Right, in the written exam that just ended, Sakayanagi got 100 votes from 3rd-grade students" he concluded, if the other party has no intention of listening to his advice, then he also wouldn't push too much, and just started to discuss the main topic, "which will be provided from some students of Class B, while C and D....I think, you know what I mean."

This statement is a bit interesting.

Horikita-nii's Class A wasn't the one to provide votes, but rather selected students from the other classes.

Among them, Class C and D of the 3rd-grade are very realistic.

Most of them are abandoned sons of the school, and feel very resistant to the possibility of leaking the questions and, then taking the exam naked.

'But, this also means that 3rd-grade Class B.....yeah, not that good either.'

By giving votes to Sakayanagi, means they don't want to change the test papers.

Only, Hachiman also remembered that, when he first entered school....there were numbers on the blackboard for the senior class.

The Class points at that time, were as follows.

Third-grade

Class A 2530 points

Class B 1300 points

Class C 300 points

Class D 20 points

And, before Hachiman came to this place, he made a special trip to the 1st floor, where the third graders were born.

Then, he saw the change on the small blackboard.

Third-grade

Class A has 2330 points

Class B has 1700 points

Class C has 250 points

Class D has 100 points

Because, they had the test paper in advance, all four classes received extra points.

However, the scores of Class A, and C of the third grade have actually decreased.

In other words, President Horikita's class also failed in the special exam last month.

It was Class B of the third grade who won, only from today's talk, Hachiman learned about this class not being that capable.

'In other words, Horikita-nii must have felt that.... there was something abnormal here....'

'For example, is there interference from the outside world?..

'Like, is it possible that Class B received assistance from the Vice-president, Nagumo-senpai?'

After all, that licker has the entire 2nd-year backing him up, then it's definitely possible to help a foreign class.

'This kind of thing....is that why Horikita-nii sent me that message?'

Hachiman, clearly contributed to Sakayanagi, who is very aggressive, and wants to cause revolution, and directly goes to seek votes, thus standing on the opposite side of Nagumo-senpai.

Only, Kiriyama was already forced to enroll in Horikita's University, but it turned out this guy was already cleaning Nagumo's pants.

Then, it's time to help Horikita-nii....

But, if he wants to deal with Nagumo-senpai, then I should throw that girl's name away.

"Do you hate Nagumo-senpai very much?" Only, Hachiman first decided to confirm whether his doubts are true or not.

"..Nagumo" Manabu, then narrowed his eyes at the junior sitting on his bench, when this taboo name was mentioned, but he didn't reply for a while and just looked at the door.

There was a dark cloud inside his heart, because this boy was the chosen one, it was said, he would become his future....only, he chose the wrong path in life, "I didn't expect you....to take the initiative of mentioning that name."

"....." Hachiman, who just realised this name was a taboo, he then suddenly turned his head to look at the door, and started to make a defensive posture, as if the enemy was about to burst the door open.

"But rather, than saying I hate

him....I just can't agree with his ideas. I follow the true path of this school, which focuses on class battles, and hope that students will grow up as a unit... Hikigaya, you can be a little more relaxed...." When, Manabu noticed his weird stance, he decided to point this out, because, people come to the bathhouse to comfort their body and mind, and not...

"....." Hachiman, the small fists were then put down on the bench, and he rested his back to get more comfortable.

"Only, Nagumo is just different, and values personal strength far more...that boy was the chosen one, I even made him the vice president, but if this was allowed to continue...I'm afraid the balance will be ruined, and the whole school, there will just be darkness...and he will make the special exams, based on the individual perfor-

Only, Hachiman wasn't listening any longer, because he already understood what the president wanted to say, and this concept is pretty good from his perspective.

Because for example, in Class D where he was born, there are many probably children who are still bombs.....but, there is no denying the offensive power of these people.

'....Only, there are too many Npc's holding us back.'

And, if this individual performance can be validated, this might be a perfect opportunity for these troubled children....to become cool!

'Because, I don't think these people are meant to become followers....and, would be most likely to throw dirt at their own leader.....'

That's the main reason, Hachiman only agreed with Chabashira-sensei about being promoted to Class A just once, instead of taking a long dump inside.

"Also, Nagumo has no hesitation about letting students drop out of school...and, if he becomes the President, there will be just horror, and students....just despair awaits them....it will be survival of the fittest, and just imagining the number of dropout exams...."

'Um....are, you still talking? Also, why are the president's words so dramatic today?' Even though, Hachiman was slightly weirded out...

'But, if Nagumo-senpai adds those exams, and then drops out... Npc's, who can't be brought up....isn't it actually a good thing for my class?'

There were scary thoughts like these, going around in the boy's mind, who was specifically asked out by Horikita Manabu, to reveal his dark history.

'....It's just that this method of manipulation is very evil...And, also goes against the original philosophy of this school....'

The reason why so many different subjects are chosen to enroll, is to increase the diversity.

A Simulated society....Allow the students to experience the variety of people they may come across.

But, after these poor- students are dropped out, the rest may seem to be in a greenhouse.

Lack of experience.

"Sakayanagi also took the initiative....but I originally wanted to force you to join the student council.....and see if Nagumo could be domesticated, but you'd also gone astray from the true path....and, directly send that baby Tyrannosaurus Rex, who wants to steal my chair..."

"....." Hachiman, who went to report the test paper, and then told Sakayanagi to start making those questions....which, he got for nothing... besides, she also treats him to dinner.

No matter how you look at it, this boy's definitely suspicious!

And, Sakayanagi, was the girl, who took the initiative of standing up using her cane, and targeting the President's imported chair, but Manabu, thought he was helping him to suppress Nagumo.

'But, I am just a character, who's trying to perform his duties....not here to relieve your worries...'

Even though Hachiman sighed in his heart, he was still the one, who arranged for Sakayanagi to attack the office.

'In fact, I just offered this as a sacrifice to the pagon God, and wished for that real sadist to move her gaze somewhere else.....'

Result, neglected her duties as a leader of Class A.

'.....It's just.....I can't say such shameless things, besides, I don't want Horikita-nii to make me a bad guy....'

After all, this is the time to make a good impression, in front of this high ranking social beast.

Then, Manabu pushed up his glasses, and started talking about the main reason, for which he invited this boy here, "Speaking of which, Suzune came to see me yesterday....and declared, about not wanting to chase my tail any longer...What on earth did you do to my sister?!" his eyes just turned cold instantly, and stared at this invader's face with a blank expression, his headlights turned off.

"....." Hachiman, who was blamed.

'Although, I had a vague idea.... about the previous dramatic tone for Nagumo-senpai and the like were all fake and illusory....'

But, For a qualified Onii-chan, with a sis-con type of personality....

The most important thing, is indeed the topic of his sister, Horikita Suzune.
