Chapter 123

"I kept you waiting"

"I won't have to wait that long, so it's okay."

At lunchtime, when the events were announced, I faced Hiyori in the special building. As for why this place is here...

"So how was it?"

"According to the information I received from Hachiman-kun, the events chosen by Class C, the rules, and the way the control tower was involved were all the same."

This is because it has to be a place where no third party can come as long as you're going to talk about something dangerous.

In the morning, I received an email from a student in Class C telling me that the class was being sold, and I received information about the events and gave it to Hiyori, but it seems like they were serious.

It was clear that the sender had seriously given up on Ichinose and, by extension, C-Class.

"So I would like to buy information about the favorite event and participants, so I will give you points."

Hiyori said so and handed me the advance payment of 30,000 points that the spy had offered, so I immediately transferred the money to the spy.

After waiting for about 3 minutes, I received an email.

Moreover, it has been changed to a different free address.

(This guy is quite cautious. Well, I can trust him that way.)

When I checked the email, there was a sentence saying that I would tell you that the payment had been confirmed, along with data on the five favorite events and participants, and finally, it ended with a sentence asking me to pay 100,000 yen after the exam.

"I got a reply, so I'll send it to Hiyori."

"...Got it. Now, let's go back. I'm sorry, but I have a discussion with Ishizaki-kun and Kaneda-kun today, so it's impossible for us to have lunch together."

She acts apologetic, but since Ryuen isn't moving on the surface, she has to move quickly, so it can't be helped.

"Yeah... but Hiyori."

"Hyaa?! H-Hachiman-kun?!"

While saying this, I hugged Hiyori from behind and rubbed her breast.

"Please hang out with me tonight. The discomfort in my arm is starting to go away, and I want to eat you three soon."

I have received A and B, but it has been a while since I received C.

Now that the discomfort in my arm is gone, I'm not going to put up with it any longer.

"...Yes. I want to be loved by Hachiman-kun too."

Hiyori looks embarrassed but nods slightly.

Her appearance is so endearing that to be honest, I'd want to touch her right now.

Well, of course I won't do that.

Even though I was feeling annoyed with Hiyori, I left the special building without touching her and returned to the main school building.

"Then I'll go back to class, so see you after school."

Hiyori bows and returns to class B. I saw them off and headed to the dining room alone. Arisu and Masumi aren't participating in the meal today, probably because they're talking about the exam, so it's been a long time since I've eaten alone.

When I entered the dining room, I heard a commotion, so I approached...

"It's obvious that you're trying to say something! So, say it!"

"You're so bossy that you're bumping into each other! Aren't you ashamed of yourself as a person?!"

A student from Class B and a male student from Class C were arguing.

And it's flashier than ever.

Until yesterday, he was only tailing C-class students, but this time the trouble was worse than before.

In the future, B class students will continue to get involved with C class students and cause them stress.

And while giving them stress, Ryuen prepares his favorite laxative.

Moreover, there is already a traitor from the C class, so if the C class doesn't do well, there is a non-zero possibility that they will end up completely defeated.

As I was thinking about this, I heard screaming from a distance, so I looked over and saw that the women from Class B and Class C were also fighting.

It looks like Ryuen will do everything in his power.

Then...

"Worst? I don't want Shiranami to say that! I heard about Hikigaya-kun and Sakayanagi-san the other day, but you're a parasite! I feel sorry for the C-class people who were parasitized!"

I can hear those words. When I looked at it again, the girl in Class C was the one Ichinose usually hangs out with.

Even so, it was a merciless blow.

Shiranami's had momentum just a while ago, but now she's extremely weak.

But schools are difficult to deal with.

This is because neither side is using violence. In other words, the B-class guys are flirting with each other while keeping their distance, and they're making sure that there's no violence.

"If we continue to argue in the cafeteria any further, both parties will have to be punished. You guys too."

As this was going on, Nagumo first intervened with the girls from a distant corner, and then immediately turned his attention to the boys as well.

At the same time, the B class students bowed and immediately pulled up.

Although the C class students look frustrated, they do not chase after the B class students.

From the perspective of the C class students, it would be impossible to do that.

Suddenly, a fight broke out and I tried to fight back, but Nagumo stopped them.

If they don't stop arguing and are punished, it will be a huge loss for Class C.

However, the students of Class C cannot blame Nagumo. It's out of the question to confront the student council president, and from the student council president's perspective, it's natural to blame the students involved in the commotion.

However, this kind of harassment will continue until the day of the exam, but Ichinose will not complain about it.

After all, if we appeal, it will be communicated to all classes that we can't handle, and above all, even if we appeal at this point, it's impossible to punish Class B.

It's probably not worth it because it's just a matter of caution.

While thinking about this, I sat down in a suitable seat.

The C-class guys sat down with irritated expressions as the B-class guys left the cafeteria.

If this situation continues, the C-class may not be able to afford another spy.

Just then, my cell phone rang, and when I looked at it, I saw an email from the spy. It's a different email address again.

I'm impressed by how cautious he is in creating free addresses every time.

"My class and B class were having a fight in the cafeteria right now. I think it's probably to put pressure on B class before the exam day, but if there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. Offer reward money."

This is the content of the email. In other words, he seems to be in the cafeteria, but I have no intention of looking for him.

There are a lot of people in the cafeteria, and above all, if you try to find someone and make them uncomfortable, there will be no source of information, so the return is low compared to the risk.

But maybe they can help... or better yet, ask them to put some laxatives for me...

No, I don't think that's possible.

"Wait..."

I thought of something and sent an email to the spy.

The content itself is not that great, but it is a preparation in case Class C tries to appeal to the school about Class B's tactics after the exam is over.

It won't have any effect before the exam, but you'll need to have a valid card ready after the exam.

Then I received another email, so I thought it was a spy, but it was from Matsushita with a sentence saying,

"We've got more than 10 people,'' along with three types of audio data.

As a result, all the cards were in place. With this, it is almost certain that Ichinose's class will be D class at the time of graduation.

(Now, next is our class, so we have to be careful not to get Koenji or Ayanokoji involved.)

Naturally, I will destroy my own class, but I don't want to deal with two monsters, so you need to be very careful.

While I was eating lunch, I was formulating a plan in my head.

_____________

"Well, it's almost the end of lunch break, so let's go to the bathroom."

"Yes..."

In class A, Arisu Sakayanagi leaves the classroom with her attendant Masumi Kamuro and heads to the girls' restroom.

However, along the way, she is called out to.

"Ah, Sakayanagi-san and Kamuro-san."

The person who spoke to them was Chiaki Matsushita, Hachiman's piece.

When they were in the same group at Forest School, she was shown to have high abilities, and in addition to receiving various tasks from him, she is also improving herself in order to receive rewards from Hachiman, and Arisu highly praised her as an A-class leader.

Of course, as a woman, I am extremely cautious.

Currently, Hachiman and Matsushita have a dry relationship, but Arisu and Masumi are wary of the possibility that something unexpected might raise a flag.

Neither of them doubt that they will become Hachiman's legal wife, but that doesn't mean they can't overlook having more women.

In any case, there is no point in showing caution, so I will not let the two of them out.

"Good day, Matsushita-san. How are you doing with the exam?"

Arisu casually asked while walking around with a small smile.

It must be a rare sight for Matsushita, who is outwardly an ordinary student of Class D, to talk to the leader and executive of Class A.

However, in Matsushita's case, she can use the excuse that they became friends because they were in the same group at forest school, so there is no problem.

In fact, a classmate once saw me talking to Masumi, and when they asked me about it, I told them that we became friends because we were in the same group at forest school, and they understood.

When Matsushita enters the women's restroom and finds no one there, she opens her mouth while looking in the mirror and doing her hair.

Arisu and Masumi line up and start playing with her hair.

"No matter what I do, I think I'll probably be put on a flash mental arithmetic test or an achievement test. I'm just an average student after all."

"By the way, how many people know that Matsushita is Hachiman's piece?"

"The three of them are Ayanokoji-kun, Karuizawa-san, and Horikita-san. As for Horikita-san, I don't think she'll spread it because Hikigaya-kun threatened to expel her classmates if she reveals anything about me."

Since Matsushita is Hachiman's pawn who eliminated Kushida, Horikita seems to have decided that it is not a bluff, and the fact that she is his pawn, is not particularly widespread.

"Well, I think Hikigaya-kun will eventually expel his classmates when he moves classes."

From Matsushita's perspective, it's hard to believe that Hachiman will move between classes without dropping any bombs.

Matsushita thought that when the class was moved, an extra large bomb would be dropped, a bomb that would expel the D class students.

"Well, in that case, I'll cooperate as well. By the way, Matsushita-san seems to have recently received orders from Hachiman-kun to contact Class C. What kind of request did she receive?"

"That's..."

I was about to speak, but the door opened and a girl came in, so I held my tongue and went to work on my hair.

After cleaning, she exits the toilet.

"See you both then."

Matsushita said that and started walking towards the D-class.

The conversation was interrupted at a critical point, but Arisu said it couldn't be helped since if she had continued talking like that, Matsushita's existence might have become public.

I couldn't ask about the request, but I should ask Hachiman about it after school.

Then, the bell rang and the two tried to return to class A, but their cell phones rang at the same time, so they looked...

"Hehe...it's been a while."

"I'm looking forward to tonight..."

The expressions of the two people change drastically.

Both of them had a relatively cool expression on their faces until just now, but now they have the expressions of females with dyed cheeks and a lustrous glow.

The screen of their cellphones said, "It looks like Hachiman-kun will be eating me tonight, so I'm going to make some powerful dishes, but do you have any requests?''

An email from Hiyori was displayed.

___________

"Then, let's close HR."

When Chabashira-sensei left the classroom with these words, Hirata was the first to leave.

"Wait, Hirata-kun!"

Meanwhile, only his classmate Wang chases after Hirata every time, but it probably won't have any effect on Hirata now.

Don't make yourself mentally unstable just by erasing trash like Yamauchi.

Honestly, I wish I could end this with just one word,

"It was good"...

Next to leave the classroom is Koenji.

As usual, he hummed as he dashed out. I don't think anyone can control this guy.

And I'm leaving too. I have already expressed my thoughts on my favorite event, and now all I have to do is do my best once I am nominated for the actual event.

Therefore, there's no point in staying here any longer, so I'll just go home.

As I was walking down the hallway thinking this, three lovers came walking across from me, and when they noticed me, they approached me with happy expressions on their faces.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hachiman-kun... Today's discussion ended during lunch break, so would you like to go home with me?"

"My class has also decided on a policy to decide the favorite options of Class C, so we have some time. So...I want to be pampered in the dormitory."

"Yes, It's been a while...I can't wait until night."

Apparently the three of them are in a good mood. This one might give in.

Well, in that case, that's fine.

"Ah. Then let's go home."

After nodding, we head to the shoe closet. Fortunately, tomorrow is a day off, so there's no problem in completing it.

"By the way, Hachiman-kun. What kind of request did you make to  Matsushita-san? I was about to ask her earlier, but a third person came, so I ended the conversation, but I'm curious."

Well, I didn't tell the three of them.

I look around and make sure no one is around, then I take out my phone and play the saved data.

"Ichinose-san is really too sweet! "

"That's right, she shouldn't have protected Shiranami-san...but abandoned her."

''If something like this were to happen, it would have been better if you were assigned to Class C with Ryuen-kun or Class D with Hikigaya-kun.''

"Me too. To be honest, when I look at the current 4 classes, I think so.''

"Ah, this exam is also depressing."

''Ryuen is no longer the leader, so it's less creepy, but the leader, Shiina, is a woman from Hikigaya, so it's too scary.''

''Or rather, the wild vegetable set meal is too tasteless! I saw the D-class guys eating it in May, looking disgusting, so it makes sense.''

"Haha, I shouldn't have paid points for something like Shiranami."

"Ahh. Today is Mon○n's release date, but I can't buy it...''

"Huh, I only had the money left to buy Mon*n, so there's no problem."

"a! Zuri! Damn it! This is also because Ichinose uses our points! "

"I agree with you about that. I saved the points for Mon○n, but it was a pain to spend nearly 300,000 points for Shiranami.''

"Damn that bitch, she should have been expelled. I can't even buy the new game console anymore!"

''It's Ichinose's fault for running away from the exam by borrowing nearly 9 million yen!"

''If things continue like this, like Hikigaya said, we middle-ranking players will get hit hard when it comes time to save the weak.''

''Why don't you be more aggressive next time?"

''What do you mean? "

''Currently, it is impossible for us to compensate students who have been expelled after the exam with points. But if a student shows up in the middle of an exam and says he might be expelled, Ichinose will help him and ask us classmates for help, right?"

''I guess so?"

''Why don't you make a request at that time as well? For example, if I help you, then let me massage Ichinose's breasts for five minutes, or take a bath together.''

"Oh! That's good! In fact, if the student who is about to be expelled is a girl, it would be a good idea to request that too!"

''We middle-ranking students are willing to take on the risk of being expelled from school, so if we demand this much, I might even ask her to have sex with me. I don't want to be a virgin, my whole life!''

"Yeah, I was trying to get close to Ichinose but that lesbian got in my way, but from then on I wanted to mess Shiranami up!"

The voices of Class C students who are dissatisfied with Class C are heard on smartphones.

Arisu was grinning when she heard this.

The job I asked Matsushita to do was to record the C class students complaining about their own class, but more people turned out than I expected.

Judging from the type of voice, there are more than 10 people who are dissatisfied if you include the ones I received before.

Especially the last recorded data is pretty bad. If that happens, it will likely be the end of the century.

"I see. This data is quite effective as a card to collapse C class."

Arisu is right. If this were spread to the C-class, the bonds of the C-class, which were beginning to crack, would be completely destroyed.

The mid-level class unites and becomes a class that completely rejects Ichinose's methods and the weaker members of the class.

But there are still uses for it, which I won't talk about yet. At least it's a method I don't use for now.

If I were to use it, it would be spring break at the earliest, and summer vacation at the latest, so I'd like you to wait until then.

I nod at Arisu's confirmation and start walking toward the dormitory. In the corner of my vision, the B-class students and C-class students are once again arguing, but since getting involved would be troublesome in many ways, I ignore it.

More than that, right now I just have to think about feasting on the three of them.
