Chapter 76

"Okay, Kushida. I'll explain that you were acting as my pawn, so just show your loyalty to me."

"I understand. So please take care of me."

I had a meeting with Kushida the day after I released information about the connection between Kushida and Ryuen and was threatened by Kushida.

Well, this whole meeting is a farce.

"Leave it to me. Then you can go in first."

"Understood"

After Kushida said that, she headed to the classroom first, so I followed her a little later.

When Kushida entered the classroom, as expected, most of her classmates were crowded together.

"Hey, Kushida-san. You ran away yesterday, but could you please explain to me why you betrayed our class?"

Karuizawa took the lead. At that time, Kushida made eye contact with me, so I entered the classroom as well.

"Wait, Karuizawa. The reason why Kushida betrayed me has something to do with it."

When I said that, most of the class looked at me, and Kushida had a smile on her lips.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It's a simple story. In order to graduate with an A class at the end, I said to Kushida-

"Hikigaya-kun, it's okay if you don't lie.''

"What's the matter all of a sudden, Matsushita?"

At this point, Matsushita intervened as planned. As a result, the gaze that had been directed at me shifted to Matsushita.

"Hikigaya-kun is being threatened by Kushida-san, right? I know that."

"What are you talking about? Not me..."

I just shut up and Matsushita takes out her cell phone. At the same time, Kushida must have had a bad feeling about her, and the smile on her lips disappeared.

"Yesterday, I saw Hikigaya-kun being taken behind the dormitory by  Kushida-san I thought it was suspicious and secretly followed her, but..."

At the same time, Matsushita plays a video. Then yesterday's exchange flowed...

..Certainly there is no benefit to Hikigaya-kun in helping me. But there's a disadvantage if you don't help.''

"A disadvantage? What do you mean?"

"Right here, I'm going to pretend that Hikigaya-kun almost raped me.''

"Oh? They won't believe you, the most hated person, right?"

"It's okay, it's not a false accusation."

"... B-bitch! "

"Now I have your fingerprints on it.' 

"There's evidence. I'm serious. Hikigaya-kun, please cooperate with me.''

"Shit...! Understood, I'll cooperate.''

.....

A video of Kushida grabbing my arm and forcing me to fondle her breasts is played.

As a result, Kushida turns pale, and her classmates look surprised and glare at Kushida with a mixture of contempt.

When the video finished playing, Karuizawa glared at Kushida and opened his mouth.

"Hmm. Something like this happened. Also, one more name was mentioned in the video earlier, so it means that Ayanokoji-kun was also threatened?"

Karuizawa glares at Kushida and then looks at Ayanokoji. As expected, she didn't call him Kiyotaka in the classroom.

"Yeah. In the first semester, Kushida was hitting on things while saying bad things about Horikita. When she found out I was watching, she threatened me just like Hikigaya."

"Hmm...it's trash."

Kushida trembles at Karuizawa's words.

I thought she had gotten the card called me, but due to the video that Matsushita took, she lost the power of the card, and ended up losing the card against Ayanokoji.

"Seriously? You saved me, Matsushita. I was in a big pinch after this when I was threatened with having Horikita, Ayanokoji, and Ryuen disappear."

I bow slightly to Matsushita. Matsushita, on the other hand, gives me a small wave.

"You don't have to worry about it. But Kushida-san, it was your fault for betraying your class, but instead of showing no remorse, you're using Hikigaya-kun to erase your bad reputation and get Horikita-san and the others expelled. Isn't it embarrassing as a human being to do that?"

"...!"

At that moment, Kushida seemed to be irritated and looked down while grinding her teeth.

Denying her character after her strategy was nullified would be humiliating for her, who has a lot of pride.

"Matsushita-san is right. Kushida-san, you're causing trouble and threatening the class. Could you please quit school?"

"That's right. Even if things are going well, if there's a traitor, I won't be able to move up to A class."

At this point, Karuizawa and Shinohara clearly say so. Karuizawa's opinion, which has a strong position in the class, seems to be the consensus of most of the students in Class D, and most of the students are staring at Kushida.

As Kushida's classmates express their anger at Kushida, who has lost the chance to turn the tables, a chime rings and Chabashira-sensei enters the classroom.

"Take your seats. It's HR time."

Most of them looked unconvinced at those words, but perhaps because they were worried that it would affect their class points, they headed to their seats without complaining.

but...

Don!

"obstacle"

"..."

Some students obviously purposefully bump into Kushida and complain.

Kushida, who was already popular, is dead and will only be treated as a traitor.

The second phase is now complete. And now we will move on to the third phase and hit it even more.

With this in mind, I spent HR listening to Chabashira's story, and when HR was over, I headed to Matsushita's place.

"Matsushita. You really helped me a little while ago. So, as a thank you, would you like about 150,000 points?"

I hear a commotion from the class at my question, but I ignore it.

"Huh? Are you giving me that much?!"

"Ah. Thanks to you, the slaves were freed."

And I will continue to award points depending on my work. I talked about it a few times before the paper shuffle, but Matsushita is better than I imagined.

"Then I guess I'll take your word for it."

Be sweet Be sweet!

"Also, please upload the recorded video to the school's online bulletin board. If you don't spread this, Kushida might threaten other classes and the second and third year boys for self-protection. "

In the first phase, I spread the communication between Ryuen and Kushida and reduced Kushida's trust.

In the second phase, I recorded Kushida's words and actions and destroyed Kushida's tactics and cards against Ayanokoji.

I don't care about the destruction of cards against Ayanokoji, but since Arisu wants to fight him, I want to eliminate the anxiety factor.

Then, in the third phase, I spread the word throughout the school that Kushida shows no signs of remorse even if her betrayal is discovered, leaving her with no allies left.

I'll make sure she doesn't't have even a single ally.

"I see. I understand. It would be difficult if someone like Hikigaya-kun or Ayanokoji-kun appeared."

While saying this, Matsushita takes out her cell phone, so I operate it and send the points to Matsushita's cell phone.

"I have deposited points, so please confirm."

"Yeah, it's included. Also, is the title 'The True Nature of an Evil Woman' okay?"

Matsushita glances to the side, and when I follow her, I see some of my classmates surrounding Kushida and accusing her.

"No problem"

When I nod, Matsushita operates her cell phone. After confirming this, I sent an email to Arisu, the leader of Class A, and Ryuen, the leader of Class B, saying,  "Tell your classmates to look at the bulletin board.''

I haven't sent anything about Ichinose, the leader of C class.

If I send an email like this to the dark Ichinose, there is a possibility that the alliance between D-class and C-class will be disrupted.

Well, even if I don't send an email, she'll probably look at the bulletin board right away.

Besides, this matter should also be at a high priority for a green tea person like her.

So, even if there is a chance that Ichinose will suspect me for doing this, I won't take the risk.

With this, Kushida's true nature will be known throughout the school by tomorrow, so let's carry out the final phase tomorrow.

There, I completely destroy Kushida's spirit.

If you're going to hold a grudge, you'll probably hate yourself for teaming up with Ryuen and trying to get Horikita expelled by getting unrelated students involved.

I don't care what happens to Horikita, but if there's a possibility that it might affect me too, I want her to go away.

These are probably the thoughts of my classmates.

With that in mind, I resumed planning my plans while thinking about future developments.

However, even though it was to ensure my own well-being, when I first entered the school, I never thought I would try to expel a student.

Maybe it's because I was influenced by Arisu and Ryuen, who have ruthless personalities.

"Then, let's close HR."

When Chabashira-sensei leaves the classroom after finishing HR on the way home, the students begin to move, but most of them surround Kushida and berate her.

In response to this, Kushida could only give hesitant answers every time.

The video that Matsushita spread in the morning has spread throughout the school, and by now, after school, Kushida is unlikely to have a single ally.

Not even just one person.

Now, Kushida's card only has "the weakness of several D-class students," but it doesn't do any damage to me, and it doesn't hurt anyone who doesn't know about Kushida's weaknesses, so it's not worth it.

There isn't.

While I was thinking about this, I glanced at Kushida, who was being blamed a lot, and then left the classroom and walked down the hallway to see Ryuen coming towards me from across the street.

"Yo Stallion Bastard. Is Kikyo still here?"

Ryuen speaks to me while grinning. He probably came to provoke Kushida.

"She'll be in the classroom, but my classmates are the first customers. Besides I'm using birth control afterward, so don't call me a stallion."

I'm wearing a proper elastic and I'm giving her birth control pills, so I don't think she'll get pregnant.

Well, if she get pregnant, I'll take full responsibility. ...But it would be dangerous if she got pregnant.

Especially since Arisu is the daughter of the director of a school that the government is putting a lot of effort into.

"That was bad, harem guy. In any case, Kikyo's allies are no longer here, so are you going to slowly crush her from now on?"

"That's what I'm planning to do. In that case, you...or rather, I'll ask the B-class to cooperate with me."

"I understand. If you do that, we will benefit as well."

If Kushida leaves the school, class points for D class may be reduced, but the traitor will disappear, so there will be plenty of benefits.

"Then that's fine. Thank you, Ryuen-chan."

"Don't call me that, it's disgusting"

"If you don't say I'm a harem guy or a stallion guy, I'll stop calling you Ryuen-chan...hey, hey, don't kick me all of a sudden, you premature ejaculator!"

Ryuen suddenly threw a kick at me, so I blocked it with my right arm and complained as I returned it with a straight fist thrust like a sword.

"Ha, don't complain just because your foot slipped. If I ejaculate prematurely, are you an unlucky bastard?"

Ryuen regains his footing and parries my Seiken thrust before trying to grab me, so I pull back before he can grab me.

"I won't deny that. It's six rounds, two rounds each against three opponents."

"It's really unparalleled. I want to see Sakayanagi panting lewdly in a way."

"Who's going to show it, you idiot?!"

When you attack each other or guard each other's attacks, you hear a voice from behind.

"Just leave it at that. Your actions are problematic."

When I turned around, Horikita was glaring at me.

For the serious Horikita, the scuffle in the hallway cannot be overlooked.

but...

"Hey Ryuen. We were just playing around, weren't we?"

"Yeah. It's just a prank. The parties involved admit it was just a joke, so it won't be a problem."

It's fine if a third party was attacked, but if the parties involved are saying it was just a joke, there's no reason to criticize it.

"There's really something wrong with both of you..."

Horikita looks shocked, but Ryuen and I both have a few screws loose in our heads.

At least for me, I feel like a screw came loose in my head when I was in middle school.

"It's too late now. So? Do you need anything from me?"

Ryuen asked Horikita with a grin on his face. Ryuen probably thinks he will be asked about Kushida's case.

"Yeah. It's about Kushida-san, but why did you cut her off?"

From Horikita's point of view, Ryuen probably thinks Kushida is valuable.

"It's simple. I thought it would be more interesting to cut it down than to continue using it."

From Ryuen's point of view, it would definitely be beneficial for him to join hands with Kushida.

He was using Kushida to obtain information about D-class, and if he judged Kushida to be out of his power, he could drive her to the point of expulsion and reduce D-class's class points.

"But there's no reason to be glared at. It's true that the unity of your class has weakened, but instead you were able to expose the traitors. In fact, thanks to me, the D-class guys were quickly exposed as traitors. Now that they know her true identity, they should be grateful to me, right? I'm hoping for some compensation!"

He even wants compensation, this bastard with a bad personality!

Well, in the end, it's not strange to think that way, but when Ryuen says it...

"I wanted Kushida-san to be on my side, so it's a nice nuisance."

Horikita replied. She had certainly said something like that before, but I don't think she can do it anymore.

Kushida's weapon is to win over those around her, but with this incident, that weapon is gone.

In fact, Horikita wanted her to be on her side, too, in the past tense.

"Kikyo on your side? How? I don't know about her past, but I don't think she'll take your side."

Ryuen seems interested and asks Horikita a question. He probably asked the question because it would be impossible for Horikita to have Kushida on her side.

"There's no need to talk about it. Because of you, Kushida-san's weapon is gone."

Well, I guess so. It can be said that Kushida has no value at all right now.

Even if you come up with a strategy to get them on your side now, nothing will change.

"Ha, I guess you're trying to convince Kikyo by not telling anyone about her past, but I don't think that's possible with such a warm approach anyway."

I agree with you about that. Even if Ryuen and I don't go out to destroy Kushida, it would be impossible for Horikita to make Kushida an ally.

No matter how much this idiot tries to get Kushida to believe in her, from Kushida's point of view, it will be impossible for her to believe Horikita, and she will only find it annoying.

Therefore, in order to stop Kushida's betrayal, either  "Expel Horikita'' or  "Expel Kushida'' would be the quickest option, but in that case, rather than Horikita being sincere for the sake of the class, Kushida is definitely a good choice.

It would be more advantageous to expel Kushida, who doesn't hesitate to get her classmates involved.

"Well, Kikyo isn't worth anything anyway. From now on, everyone in class B will take care of her until she says she's expelling herself."

Horikita's face turned grim at those words. Horikita, who knows Ryuen's methods, probably thinks that the B-class guys will use violence against Kushida.

"I'm telling you, if you act violently, I'll report you to the school."

"Do whatever you like."

Ryuen ignores Horikita's warning and passes by me and Horikita to look into the Class D classroom.

However, he soon looks satisfied and then leaves. Maybe he saw Kushida getting blamed so much that he decided to provoke her next time.

Then, Horikita glared at me and said,

"You're also yourself. Don't brag about it in the hallway. Even if it's just a playful fight, if a third party reports it to the school, there will be more trouble."

"I'll be more careful from now on, but the one who attacked me first was Ryuen, so tell him that."

"If I tell him, he won't listen."

I don't deny that. Because Ryuen is a man who loves trouble.

With that in mind, I turned my back to Horikita and started walking, but she didn't ask me any questions about Kushida.

Judging from that, Horikita, like her other classmates, probably thinks that Ryuen was the one who caused this incident, and that I am the victim of Kushida's involvement.

Despite everything going on, I return to the dormitory. When I opened the door to the room, I saw Hiyori and others shoes, so everyone had come home.

Then I walked down the hallway and tried to enter the living room, but for some reason the three of them were staring at the computer.

I don't think so, but are you checking out my treasured collection again?!

I listened to the conversation between the three people even though I was breaking out in a cold sweat...

"Then, we've decided that I'll buy a Chinese dress, Masumi-san a bunny girl outfit, and Arisu-san an old school swimsuit. Shall we buy one more item online to please Hachiman-kun?"

I hear Hiyori's voice. Judging from the content, it seems like she'll buy a costume and wear it like the maid costume and cheerleader costume from before.

By the way, contact with outsiders is not allowed at this school, but mail order is possible as there are some items that cannot be purchased on the premises.

It seems that they will carry out many strict checks on this as well.

But Arisu is wearing an old-fashioned school swimsuit, Masumi is a bunny girl, and Hiyori is wearing a Chinese dress...Yeah. I really want to see it.

"That's great, but what should I buy? Hachiman's likes outfit which is sexy and revealing?"

"Well...Ah, how about this, Masumi-san? Fallen Angel Erotic Maid Set."

"Huh?! What is this?! The exposure isn't like that of a maid outfit, right?!"

Masumi cries out in surprise at Arisu's proposal, but is she a fallen angel erotic maid?!

It sounds crazy considering the name.

"Then, if Masumi-san is going to buy a fallen angel erotic maid, which one will Hiyori-san choose?"

"Wait, Sakayanagi. I don't think I'll buy it,

Oh? But Hachiman-kun would like to see it, right?

'...I understand."

Nice, Arisu. Masumi who became a fallen angel erotic maid is too good for me.

"Then, which one would you choose, Hiyori-san?"

"Well...then I'll make this great spirit Chira Maid."

Great Spirit Chira Maid...Is it a maid costume that shows Chira Rhythm?

My expectations are high no matter what.

"So? Which one should you choose Sakayanagi? The fallen angel type doesn't suit your body type, right?"

"I won't deny it. Generally speaking, I have a loli body type, so I'll dress in that direction."

"Then how about this super rare loli version of the Sea Demon Lord Blamaid?"

What kind of costume is it? I can't imagine it at all.

"This one...it's quite an embarrassing costume. Well, I'm sure Hachiman-kun will be happy with this, so it's a good idea. Is there anything else you'd like to buy?"

"This is enough for me."

"Me too"

"Then let's order. This time everyone will buy two types of costumes, the maid series will be worn for Christmas, and the other will be worn on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve."

After hearing the conversation between the three, I silently return to the entrance and sneak out.

It looks like the three of them are planning on pulling a surprise, so I should just pretend I don't know.

I'm interested in the maid series that the three of them are buying, but I want to look forward to it on the day of the event, so I won't look at the mail order site either.

(For now, I need to stock up on energy pills and ingredients that increase energy in preparation for Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Year's Eve...)

While thinking about this, I headed to at the entrance of the dormitory to kill some time. (mainly to get away from this conversation).
