Chapter 121

After contacting a mid-level C-class student, I entered the most popular cafe in Keyaki Mall to take a breather.

Most of the seats inside were full, but luckily there was only one seat available, so I sat there and looked at the menu.

Now that I have decided on my order, I tried to press the buzzer to call the clerk, but the clerk comes over before I can.

"I'm sorry, but...hey, customer. The store is very crowded at the moment, so may I ask you to share a seat with someone?''

Seating...Well, I guess it can't be helped if it's this crowded.

Depending on the situation, it may be an unexpected big deal, and if that's the case, it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a connection.

This clerk casually called me God.

I almost called God at the hospital, but my head started to hurt.

"please"

"thank you"

After agreeing to the request, feeling a little annoyed, the clerk bows and heads toward the entrance.

I glanced towards the entrance wondering what kind of person would be sitting with me...

"What? Dragon Boy?"

"I'm going to kill you, one day! Besides get lost and have fun with your three lovers."

The person who came was Ryuen. He looks lazy, but his eyes have the intensity of an animal.

It looks like he's going to be serious about his next exam.

"I can't do it because my arm is injured."

Well, I'll be fully healed in a little while, so I'm going to have a good time.

"If you're in the cowgirl position, all you have to do is shake your hips. If you want, they can give you a fuck or a titjob. Well, the former is probably impossible for Sakayanagi's loli breasts, though."

Ryuen makes such a statement with a small laugh.

The women around him are blushing, but Ryuen is probably the only one who would say something like this at the cafe.

"Leave me alone. Arisu will be able to do it just in case."

Although her breasts are small, Arisu tries her best to serve me, and unlike usual, she is very healthy and endearing.

She can probably eat three bowls of rice just from that.

"Well, I don't care about that. Besides, you've been doing some pretty interesting things for a while now, haven't you?"

Something interesting? Ah, is this a campaign to make Ichinose feel distrustful?

"That's unexpected. I'm just trying to make sure the C-class members don't get crushed by Ichinose."

"I don't think you would care about a third party." he snorted.

It's a harsh statement, but I won't deny it.

I'm not going to care about a third party anymore if there's no benefit. I've learned that if you do that, you'll only look foolish.

"So? Now that you've stepped down as leader, you're just having tea time and not thinking about the exam?"

I know that he was actually acting for the sake of the class, but I dares to say so.

By doing so, the possibility that Ryuen will be suspected of being involved in the operations B-class is carrying out against C-class will decrease.

"That's right. Besides, you've finished your sabotage activities against Class C, so are you taking a short break?"

"Well, most of all, even if I, or rather Arisu, don't move, class C will probably suffer when it comes to graduation."

Those words drew strong looks from some of the people in the cafe.

The person who is staring at me now is probably a C class student.

There are only three of them, but let's try to make them mistrust Ichinose as well.

"That sounds like an interesting story. I've got some free time since I stopped being a leader, so let's hear it."

"Good. First, let's talk about the premise. Unless Ichinose's class changes its policy of abandoning the weak, it won't be able to become class A."

"I guess. Ichinose is already inferior to Sakayanagi."

And Ichinose most likely won't change her policy. Well, it would be a different story if there was a talented hawk like Ayanokoji in the class.

"Classes other than A will not receive full support from the school when going on to higher education or finding employment. It is certain that the school's evaluation of Ichinose's class has dropped significantly.''

Ryuuen looks surprised at those words, but soon breaks out into a grin.

"Why does that lower your rating?"

Ryuen seemed to understand what I was trying to say, but he pretended not to understand, perhaps because he wanted Ichinose's classmates to hear it.

I appreciate your consideration.

"Okay? This school was established to make us responsible for the future of Japan. In other words, the school wants its graduates to become presidents of large companies."

"I guess so."

"Presidents of large companies sometimes have to carry out restructuring to cut personnel costs. This class voting exam has a similar meaning, and we have to lay off one person from the class. It was about the content. You understand now, right?"

"I see. If Ichinose's class were a large company, it would be like the company was in dire straits and had to be restructured, but they abandoned efforts to improve the company's budget shortfall."

Ryuen glanced at the C class students for a moment and answered that.

"That's correct. It's true that this exam may be unreasonable, but once you're out in the workforce, it'll be unreasonable all the time, so it's a good rehearsal. If you were a teacher, would you rate good marks to the C class who abandoned that rehearsal even after borrowing money?"

"There's no way I'd do that. Ichinose is like a C-class president, so I'll give her the lowest rating."

I guess so. I don't know about Ichinose's future dreams, but if she becomes the president of a large company, I feel sorry for her employees.

She may not be laid off, but she's too worried about the management...

Well, I'm not saying absolutely because the human resources department might be able to successfully lay her off.

"That's the thing. It's true that I called out to the mid-ranking members of Class C to betray the class for the purpose of harassing them, but the mid-ranking members should take what I said seriously."

Ichinose will continue to help the weak, but the exams are basically fought on a class-by-class basis, so if you want to save the weak, students other than Ichinose will inevitably need to help as well.

And judging by the class voting exam, Ichinose will never abandon the weak, so she will get her classmates involved.

If this continues, there is a possibility that the mid-level members who are slightly better than the weaker members will become wrinkled and collapse.

Therefore, the mid-ranking members have to take action to escape from their predicament, such as asking Ichinose to change her policy.

And I just gave you that option.

No one should have the right to blame them for that.

In the first place, I only suggested it, not forced it. There is no problem with the rules as the policy is to leave it up to each person's decision without using violence or intimidation.

"Well, this is the place. Anyway, I'm going to call out to the mid-level members of Class C tomorrow as well."

"It looks like you're going to do it thoroughly. Well, as for me, I'll just enjoy observing as a bystander."

"No return to being the leader. Then let's destroy C-Class."

"I thought I said I'm off already. I'm just going to have fun on the sidelines until I graduate."

In fact, Ryuen has already returned, and the harassment B class is currently doing against C class is Ryuen's doing, but by saying things like this, Ryuen is not acting on the special exam.

Makes me think.

That way, on the day of the exam, the C-class members could be mentally damaged.

Even though I thought so, I didn't have anything to do right now, so I spent my after-school tea time alone, having a light chat with Ryuen.

_________

Just before 5pm, in a corner of the cafe...

"Hey, what did you think about that story earlier?"

"Honestly, I'm satisfied with Hikigaya's story. We won't be able to get into A class if we keep going like this, and we'll probably get a bad evaluation from the school."

"I see. I guess it was best to expel Shiranami-san like Sakayanagi-san said."

"That's right. In addition to my monthly savings, the points I earned from club activities were all gone. After hearing Sakayanagi and Hikigaya's story, it seems stupid to pay."

"I've saved up quite a bit, too."

"I had nearly 300,000 points, but I didn't want to give them up, so I spent them on a lot of games, manga, and high-end food beforehand, and I was only able to spend about 30,000 points on relief measures.''

"Ah! Zuri! I should have done it too!"

"I should have done that too. I wouldn't have been expelled anyway."

"We are neither contributors nor burdens to the class, so in a sense we are the safest."

"Damn it. I should have used it beforehand. Honestly, if I objected, I would have been subject to criticism, so I didn't object, but I wanted Shiranami to disappear."

"Huh? Did you have some sort of grudge?"

"No, when I entered this school, I saw Ichinose and thought she was nice, and every time I tried to approach her casually, Shiranami cut in and pushed me away while glaring at me."

"Ah, I know that too. There are many people like her."

"It seems like Shiranami-san is a real lesbian."

"She's a lesbian, and not only does she get in the way of boys, but she's also the weakest in the class. And the fact that she's friends with Ichinose is like a parasite, a pestilence god."

"That's a little too tight."

"I don't think I'm exaggerating either."

"I bet you guys also think that Shiranami's pathetic!"

"Well?''

"Right? I wonder if Hikigaya will erase the small fries next?"

"Maybe that's a good idea. Then the parasites like Shiranami will disappear, and Ichinose might also give up on her naive ideas, so we can kill two birds with one stone."

The conversation was unbelievable coming from students in Ichinose's class, who use unity as their weapon.

"Hmm... Looks like it would be a good story."

And, a little further away, Chiaki Matsushita was holding a recording smartphone and was smiling slightly.

"Hmm... tut... Hachi-kun-..."

"Hachi-kun...Hachi-kun will make me his legal wife...hmmm..."

"Don't worry about Hiyori's nonsense, make me your legal wife...tsk."

In my room, three of my lovers kiss me on the lips as if competing with each other.

My arm will heal soon, and once it does, I'll release what I've been holding back on. It's coming soon, but it feels like a very long time.

After I got back to my room, I was showered with kisses for about an hour, but then the alarm clock on the bed went off. It's the sound that tells 6 o'clock.

"Puh...! Unfortunately, it's time to make dinner. I'll continue after dinner."

"Ah, I'll help you too, Hiyori."

"I'll help you too. Hachi-kun, please sit down."

After saying that, the three lovers headed to the kitchen. Aprons go well with uniforms.

Well, number one is a naked apron.

As I was thinking about this, my cell phone started ringing, so I looked at it and saw an email from Matsushita.

When I looked at it, I saw that the recording data was attached, and the text said that I had to pay 30,000 yen because she had good data.

I can't start unless I listen to it, so I paid it...

"I see..."

I hear voices from class C students agreeing with my idea.

You gave me some pretty good stuff.

Instead of giving me 30,000, I'll give you 100,000.

However, in exchange for a job request.

I transfer 100,000 points to Matsushita's cell phone and request a new job.

When I do that, I immediately get a reply saying that I understand.

It's not bad to have a piece that has power like Karuizawa owned by Ayanokoji, but there are also pieces with high potential like Matsushita.

While thinking about this, I looked at the three of them in the kitchen, and I was suddenly taken aback.

If my arm had healed, I'm sure I would have hugged them from behind and just eat them instead of dinner.

(Ah, I hope my arm heals quickly...)

The next day...

"Hiyori, let's go eat."

Go to Class B and talk to Hiyori. Arisu and Masumi had something to do today, so it was inevitable that I would eat alone with Hiyori.

"Yes. Shall we go?"

Hiyori comes over with a big smile on her face. When I looked around Class B, Ryuen was staring blankly outside, acting as if he wasn't moving at all.

"The sunshine feels nice today, so why don't we eat in the courtyard?"

"The wind isn't too strong, so I agree."

Hiyori starts walking with a big smile on her face, and I follow. Change your shoes and go outside.

As I was walking towards the courtyard, Ichinose and other main members of Class C were standing in front of me.

The other side noticed us too, and most of them turned hostile towards us.

Well, of course.

I called on the mid-level members of Class C to betray the class.

However, I have no intention of getting involved unless they purposely bump into me, so I just try to pass by, and Ichinose comes in front of me.

"Shiina-san. I'd like to talk to you for a bit. Is that okay?"

"Is it me? I don't mind, but I have to eat lunch with Hachiman-kun, so please keep it short."

"I'm not going to take up your time. And just to talk about it, someone from Shiina-san's class is messing with our class. So could you please ask them to stop?"

Is that the story after all? Well, I think that's probably the case when you talk to Hiyori.

"Wait a minute...Ah, if that's the case, Ishizaki-kun is in charge, so please tell him."

"But Shiina-san is the new B-class leader, so you can give instructions to Ishizaki-kun, right?"

"Certainly, I can do it... but I have no intention of doing so. Now that Ryuen-kun has resigned as leader, they can't afford to lose, so they're going to use some cowardly tactics."

Hiyori has a lot of heart in that area.

Even so, since she only sticks to the line, she probably has the potential to be a leader.

Even better than this Ichinose.

"No matter what?"

"Yes. Before that, I haven't been the leader for a while, so I don't have the same control as Ryuen-kun, so there's a high possibility that I'll be rejected."

"I see~"

Ichinose grumbled in disappointment, and the hostility of the C class students increased.

Some of the guys try to approach Hiyori, so I snap my unbroken hand to stop them.

"If this is the end of the story, please excuse me."

"Wait. Our story isn't over yet. Hikigaya, don't try to instigate people in my class to betray you."

Ichinose's entourage keeps saying things like that...

"What are you talking about? There are students who are dissatisfied with the class without me having to provoke them. I asked over 10 C class students to betray you, but most of them took my contact information."

You can tell that they are dissatisfied when they don't immediately refuse.

"Well, don't worry, no one has come forward to become a spy. Maybe if you lose the next exam, they might."

There's nothing I can do right now.

"Ah, there was one last thing I wanted to ask about Ichinose."

"...What?"

Ichinose is freaked out and the C class students go on high alert, but since there are surveillance cameras and Watanabe's precedent, there won't be any problems.

"You put your classmates first, but if the majority of the class proposed a policy of cutting out the small fry, would you change your policy?"

"Huh!?"

Ichinose's eyes widened at those words, but she immediately looked down. It seems like she wasn't thinking about it.

"Well, if you get the answer, let me know. Until then, I'll be working behind the scenes."

After saying that at the end, I started walking without listening to their replies.

If we decide to make a move, it will be after this special test is over, but we need to think carefully about it because the batting tactics will change depending on whether B class wins or loses.

Well, it's still a long way off, so let's finish lunch now.

After that, I had lunch with Hiyori, and I was able to realize once again that eating alone is a good thing.
