"5 million private points."
My words create silence. But it all happened in an instant...
“w-5 million!?”
Watanabe's face becomes full of despair. However, I ignores Watanabe and talks to Kanzaki.
"The price for the settlement negotiation is 5 million. If you can't pay it, I'll leave it up to the school and ask Ichinose about this matter."
“Wait a minute! Ichinose has nothing to do with it, right?!”
Watanabe yells because Ichinose's name comes up, but I have no intention of attacking her.
"Shut up, perpetrator. You don't have the right to speak out because you're in the position of being punished. Why don't I just complain to the police instead of the school, huh?"
"...!"
As I spoke, I pointed to my left arm, which had a cast on it, to silence him.
In fact, I tried to sue Kushida to the police along with Ryuen.
"Wait, Hikigaya. 5 million isn't fair. At best, 2 million is fair."
"Then I'll just leave it to the school to deal with it. As soon as Watanabe's punishment is complete, I'll strictly investigate whether Ichinose gave instructions to him. Violent incidents will not be tolerated.”
I dismisses Kanzaki's suggestion. I have no intention of compromising.
In fact, even if Class C reaches a settlement and there is no problem, I plan to legally expel Watanabe through a special exam after a while.
"However, it would be impossible to prepare 5 million ppts all at once, so I will wait for one day. Transfer 5 million ppts to my terminal by tomorrow after school. If the money was not deposited, I will just ask the school to take action, alright?”
As I say this, I look at the witness.
Nagumo and Sakagami-sensei were smiling, Chabashira-sensei had her usual expression on her face, Mashima-sensei had a difficult expression on his face, and Hoshinomiya-sensei had lost her usual smile and was glaring.
"As for the settlement, it's a matter between the parties involved, so I don't mind if you decide."
Sakagami-sensei replied. It seems that it has been decided.
“So, is it okay if we just disband today?”
"That's right. The five of us, including the teachers and Nagumo, will discuss punishment again. We don't know if they will be expelled or suspended, but Hikigaya and Watanabe should come here at 4 o'clock tomorrow. Watanabe will propose a settlement. In that case, you will have to pay 5 million ppts in our presence at that time.''
And if you don't pay, then the school will punish you.
"I got it"
"……yes"
When the two parties nod, we are told to disband, and the three of us students leave the room.
"Well then. I'm hoping for a good answer...Well, either answer is fine."
"...Don't be silly."
"Are you kidding me? In fact, you seem to think that you're not at fault at all, but from now on, you can pretend that there was no talk of settlement."
"..."
Watanabe glared at my words but fell silent. I guess you still don't understand the position.
"If you're going to shut up, then stop complaining and start preparing the private points instead."
After saying that to Kanzaki, I walked down the hallway. Even if the outcome turns out to be blunt, there will be merit, and even if a settlement is not reached, Watanabe will be expelled from the school.
I already have a plan to destroy the C class.
Originally, the C class was scheduled to cause a major blow by the middle of the second year, and the target was Watanabe.
Then, before I became a 3rd year student, I had a quick battle with Ryuen, and after I became a 3rd year, I was planning to deal a big blow to Ryuen, but now that he has retired, I am allowed to take my time attacking Class C.
Well, if Ryuen is revived, I'll change my plans a bit.
Well, I have no intention of doing anything now. My plan won't start until spring break, and there's someone I want to eliminate even more than Watanabe.
While thinking about this, I headed to the shoe closet, changed into shoes, and headed to the hospital in the shopping mall.
1 hour later...
"Excuse me"
After completing my medical examination, I leave the hospital and head to the dormitory. Perhaps because it's winter, it gets dark after 5 o'clock, and there are fewer students hanging out at the shopping mall than in summer or fall.
I was starting to feel cold so I was walking quickly when Ryuen came out of the supermarket with a shopping bag and our eyes met.
"Yo Ryuen. You buy a lot of snacks, but eating too much is bad for your health."
"Shut up, you're not my parent. Besides, are you back from the hospital?"
"Well, I'm glad it wasn't my dominant arm that broke."
If it were my right-hand, I would be in a big pinch during the special exam that would be held in the future.
Well, I think it will be convenient for me.
"So? How much did you get?"
It seems that people like Ryuen think that I have negotiated a settlement.
"No, I won't know whether they will agree to a settlement until after school tomorrow. If they agree, I will get 5 million, but if they don't, there is a high probability that he will be expelled."
"You actually earned 5 million yen. I wouldn't mind it, but there's no way Ichinose's classmates would overlook his expulsion."
Ryuen is right. If this were Ryuen or Arisu, I think they would abandon it at Mach, but the C class guys would probably prepare 5 million.
Otherwise, Ichinose, who has been taking a break recently, would be damaged.
Actually, I wanted to ask for around 10 million yen, but there is a possibility that the other side doesn't have it, and in the worst case scenario, the other side might give up on trying to settle the matter.
If that happens, Watanabe may be expelled and Ichinose may be depressed, but there is also a possibility that the C-Class members will come up with an excuse like "Hikigaya didn't agree to a settlement.''
"Well, I guess so. It's unexpected that my bones were broken, but I'm grateful for the extra income, and I'm grateful to the person who spread the rumors."
"So? I don't think Sakayanagi spread the rumors, but did you spread the rumors around Ayanokoji?"
After all, doesn't Ryuen suspect that this is the work of Class A? If you think about it that way, there's still a huge difference between Horikita and Ryuen.
"At least I haven't done it, so it's probably that creep."
Among the rumors spread in Class D, there was the matter of Ayanokoji and Karuizawa, and Horikita told me that Hashimoto had seen him and Karuizawa together.
If that's all there is to it, I suspect it's the work of Class A, which Hashimoto is in, but Arisu doesn't seem to have spread it.
And the only people who know about the relationship between Ayanokoji and Karuizawa are me, Ryuen, and his subordinates, but I'm different, and Ryuen has also drawn the line, and his subordinates are better at physical violence than bad publicity.
So it would be different.
In that case, the only remaining option would be that creep himself.
If rumors of his identity were to spread, only some people would be able to tell that Ayanokoji was the culprit.
If bad reviews spread throughout each class, schools will be forced to take action, and punishments related to bad rumours may be added in the future.
If that happens, there is a high possibility that Ichinose will be saved from her bad reputation.
However, if my assumption is correct, I don't understand why Ayanokoji, who prefers peace, would move.
If there was a possibility, he would use Ichinose when confronting the people who have their eyes on him.
"Hey, Hikigaya. You've been quiet for a while now. What are you thinking?"
When I thought about it that much, Ryuen looked at me suspiciously. I seemed to be thinking for a while.
"No, it's not a big deal."
"Huh, how are you going to flirt with Hiyori and the others?"
“That’s something I think about all the time.”
I returned to the dormitory along with Ryuen while returning the favor.
After returning to the dormitory, I flirted with the three of them, but needless to say, I was extremely lonely as I couldn't take a bath or sleep with them due to my broken bone.
the next day……
"Excuse me"
Just like yesterday, after school, I entered the conference room under Chabashira-sensei's guidance.
The participants other than me and Chabashira-sensei have already arrived, but it's not a problem since it's early.
"Before you came, I asked Class C's opinion, and they said they would like to settle the matter. Therefore, if you accept the settlement, it will end as soon as you receive the points, and if you do not agree to the settlement, the school will give the punishment they have prepared for him... Watanabe will be expelled from school."
Well, it's pretty much as expected. 5 million is a lot of money, but if you split the bill among the 39 people excluding Ichinose, it would be around 120,000 per person.
And although class points for C class have decreased since May, they still receive a stable amount of nearly 50,000 yen each month, so 120,000 yen per person is not that bad.
“Then the negotiation is concluded.”
"Okay. I'll send the money now."
When Nagumo operated his cell phone, a beeping sound came from my pocket, and when I checked my cell phone, 5 million yen had been added.
Apparently, Nagumo was entrusted with points from Watanabe.
"I checked. The money has definitely been transferred."
"In that case, this is the end of this case. Also, Hikigaya, now that the matter has been settled, the school has no intention of taking any action regarding this matter. Also, there is one more thing to confirm. Recently, rumors have been spreading. There's an incident going on, are you involved?"
"No way. If I were to attack you, I wouldn't use false rumors, I would use facts to thoroughly corner you."
Like Kushida.
"I'd like you to stop doing that, but...sigh, that's fine. If you're not involved, please don't do it in the future."
"Uh-huh. Well then, I'll excuse myself...(I hope we can continue to do good business in the future)."
"Oh!"
Just before leaving the room, I whisper in his ear so only Watanabe can hear, and he blushes, but since it's in front of the teacher, I have to be careful.
Looking at this scene, I left the room and smiled inwardly.
“Well, now that I have received some unexpected income, let’s make a thorough plan for what’s next.”
However, I have no intention of interfering with the C class for a while.
I'm not denying the tactics of aggressively attacking like Ryuen, but when it comes to C-class, it's better to attack them when they're off guard.
Well, the other side is probably on high alert against me, so I need to turn my attention to B-class.
I headed home thinking about my future plans.
"That's why Class C paid me 5 million. Thanks to that, I have over 15 million private points."
"Congratulations. Even though I was the one who messed with Ichinose-san, she caused my Hachiman-kun to get seriously injured..."
When I returned to the dormitory after settling the matter, I found Arisu there, and when I explained the incident, she got totally pissed.
"Calm down"
"I can't stay calm. I'll show you hell for Watanabe-kun, who seriously injured Hachiman-kun. I originally tried to mess with Ichinose-san to get Ayanokoji-kun, but Ichinose-san's yes-man C class... I will seriously crush Ichinose-san from now on in order to give her despair.”
This is the first time I've seen Arisu so angry.
She has completely lost her composure.
However, losing my composure is a foolish move, so in order to calm her down, I grab Arisu with my free right arm and kiss her.
"Hmm...! Nmm, mm... nah."
Arisu looks surprised, but her expression quickly changes to a happy one and she kisses me back.
After kissing for a while, I parted my lips and looked at Arisu.
"You seem to have calmed down."
"Yes. I'm embarrassed to say that, but it seems like I'm getting a little heated."
"Don't worry about it. Besides, you don't have to be serious. If you really try to destroy Class C, I think it's possible to destroy it, but if you go too far you might get punished by the school."
Plus, since she's in love with me, people would think we were connected from the beginning.
"Well, that may be true. However, I originally decided that I would destroy the C-class eventually, so it will be sooner or later."
"I guess. However, we don't have to destroy the C class just yet. If we are going to destroy it, it would be best to destroy it when there is no risk to us."
Arisu prefers gray tactics, while Ryuen uses black tactics to win.
I'm not going to complain about that because it's a personal choice, but I don't do anything that violates the rules.
Instead, I'll use any method as long as it doesn't violate the rules.
However, I have no intention of attacking Ichinose when she is weak due to her gray tactics.
If we go too aggressive here, there may be a penalty for us as well.
"From the looks of it, it seems like you're already thinking of a strategy. Please tell me."
Arisu told me so, so I explained my plan. Arisu then laughs happily.
"I see. If that's the case, then we can destroy Class C without any risk."
"Well, that said. However, in order to carry out that strategy, I need to be in Class D, and there are various preparations to be made, so if I were to make a move, it would probably be during the summer vacation of my second year at the earliest. It's time for the special exam."
During last summer vacation, there were two exams where class points greatly changed: a deserted island exam and an exam to guess who would get a special offer.
There will probably be a special exam during this summer vacation... or rather, there will definitely be a special exam.
It's impossible for this school to give students the entire summer vacation.
"That would be best. But are you okay? Hirata-kun will definitely object, and Horikita-san who tried to interfere with Hachiman-kun's actions may become an obstacle."
"As for Horikita, she probably interfered because the D-class and C-class have an alliance, but if the alliance is dissolved, she won't interfere."
And the alliance with C-class will be dissolved before two years at the latest.
The reason is simple: the difference in class points between C class and D class is small, and C class cannot maintain its points consistently.
As of May last year, there was a 650 difference between our class and Ichinose's class, but now there is only a 66 difference.
Moreover, our class was in class D because Kushida was expelled, and if Kushida hadn't been expelled, Ichinose's class would have been in class D.
Also, regarding the increase in class points, our class has increased by 469 points from May 1st to today, whereas Ichinose's class has decreased by 115 instead of keeping its points.
Forming an alliance in such a state has only disadvantages for the D class, and Horikita will likely dissolve the alliance before she reaches the second year.
Without it, she would be incompetent, and it would be absolutely impossible for her to defeat Arisu.
"As for Hirata, if he's going to get in my way, I can just threaten to crush his classmates. Like I said earlier, he's a bomb just like Ichinose who have read too many shonen mangas and can't differentiate between fiction and reality. "
The 2nd and 3rd year D class has already fallen to an irreversible level, but our class is not like that.
The current class points are... Class A with Arisu 925 Class B with Ryuen 567 Class C with Ichinose 535 Class D with me 469
So, from B to D, it's a pretty close battle.
Meanwhile, if I were to crush the C-class, no matter what the means, I wouldn't blatantly get in the way. Then the seeds will float.
"As for the D-class, it won't be much of an obstacle. As for the B-class, now that Ryuen has retired, there is no reason not to take advantage of the opportunity to crush the rival class."
"Well, I guess so. But even though Hiyori-san has high insight, the drawback is that she don't have the explosive power that Ryuen-kun has.''
I won't deny it. Hiyori's quick wit makes her one of the best in her grade, but she doesn't have an aggressive personality, so she's not suited for attacking.
It would be a good idea to leave the attack to Ishizaki, who is in charge of the B class like Hiyori, but Ishizaki also has a lower threat compared to Ryuen.
"I guess. In that case, A-class will cover for me. For that reason..."
“I will make sure that everyone in the class saves their Private Points, and uses them as weapons to attack Class C when the opportunity arises.”
"Sorry"
"No. We have to show Watanabe-kun hell. Let's ask him to leave the school as soon as possible."
Arisu says it lightly, but there is strong anger in her eyes. To put it bluntly, I am really scared, but I'm also happy because she's angry because of me.
but……
“No, I will destroy Watanabe eventually, but if possible, I will make someone other than Watanabe the first person to be expelled from Class C.”
"Why is that?"
"It's a simple story. After expelling the students other than Watanabe, the guys from class C, would abuse Watanabe, who has now become cancer for their class, hoping he should have been expelled instead. And when the issue of expulsion comes again, they'll target him."
"I see. So you're giving him a living hell before expelling him?"
Arisu is right. If that happens, the students who have been expelled from the school will probably hurl abuse at Watanabe.
And most of the students other than Watanabe will probably become more hateful as they fear that they will be targeted in the future after being hit so hard.
For them, it would be a picture of hell for the C-class, which uses unity as a weapon, to increase hate.
“Ah, now that we have reached a settlement regarding the broken arm, I have no intention of retaliating in a gray way, but I feel like I need to get revenge in a way that follows the rules.”
Because of that, I can't hug my three lovers, take a bath together, or get close to each other.
"That's right. Thanks to him, I miss being able to hug Hachiman-kun, take a bath together, or get close to him."
It seems that Arisu is thinking the same thing. I was happy about that and put my right hand around Arisu's waist and brought her close to me.
Arisu, on the other hand, is shocked, but she immediately laughs and puts her head on my shoulder.
Then she turns towards me and sticks out her lips, so I bring my face closer to kiss her...
expensive
At the same time, the cell phone in my pocket rang.
Arisu, who was standing in front of me, had a blank expression on her face, and when I took out my cell phone, it was a call from Matsushita.
I pressed the call button even though I felt irritated inside.
"Hello?"
“Ah, Hikigaya-kun. It's a story about Ichinose-san, is it okay?”
"...talk"
While speaking, turn on speaker mode. Arisu also has a suspicious look on her face as it is now in speaker mode.
''I just went to the vending machine to buy a drink, and that's when I met Ayanokoji-kun, so I asked him if he had spread the rumors this time. Then he approved it.''
Ayanokoji was one of the suspects, but did he admit it easily?
Well, since Matsushita is working with me, I guess he thought it would be okay to talk to her.
In fact, I checked the rumors spread among the three classes, and except for the rumors about Ayanokouji and Karuizawa, all of them were things like ''he was violent in middle school'' or ''he's a lolicon,'' and there were no rumors making fun of interpersonal relationships.
With this, you can easily spread information even if you have a narrow circle of friends.
And if he does something like that, he must be trying to save Ichinose.
"I think Ayanokoji's plan is to create a situation where the school is forced to take action...and then go and save Ichinose..."
''That's what I thought too, and when I asked Ayanokoji, he admitted it. So, I asked him why he was saving Ichinose-san, I was horrified when he said that if a troublesome enemy came, Ichinose, and the C-class who idolized her, he might be able to use them... Hikigaya-kun, was really right about Ayanokoji-kun being creepy. There's really something wrong with his brain, to be honest, I don't want to be in the same class as him.... ''
Do you have a plan after all?
However, if Ichinose is completely in his hands, it is not impossible to move the C class.
If that happens, we will have enough strength.
“But, do you know who the troublesome enemy is? If it's Sakayanagi-san, I think he'll clearly say Sakayanagi-san.''
"I don't know about that either. Anyway, thank you for the information. Also, since Ayanokoji is going to save Ichinose, I won't move any further, so you shouldn't either"
Matsushita's presence in the C class is well known, and moving any further would be a disadvantage.
"Roger that. see you later"
After those words, the call ended, and Arisu smiled happily as I put the cell phone in my pocket.
"Ayanokoji-kun, really moved huh? In any case, the most troublesome enemy will most likely be the assassin from the White Room."
"If I remember correctly, that creep's father has some of the highest power in Japan. Does he use that power to admit people from the White Room?"
"It's possible. Even so, I feel bad for Ichinose-san....Well, we can't say anything about Ayanakoji-kun's personality. Since, most of the students from White Room are like this."
I agree. Currently, Ichinose is being bullied by Arisu, and I don't think she knows it yet, but her important classmates are taking points away from her.
And Ayanokoji is trying to save Ichinose, but the reason why he saves Ichinose is too harsh because he wants a wall of flesh against the assassins from the White Room.
Even if Ichinose were saved and had affection or romantic feelings for Ayanokoji, but from that creep's perspective, it would only be seen as a wall of flesh.
If it loses its value as a meat wall, there is a strong possibility that it will be discarded.
If my assumption is correct, Ayanokoji is clearly far more brutal than me or Arisu.
They put their own interests above ours.
Well, if an assassin comes from the White Room and Ayanokoji is able to use C-class as a wall, I won't have to go out of my way to move, so let's just say it's fine.
But just like Arisu, people like him can be considered in the category of Psychopaths.
If Ichinose were to find out what his real thoughts are, she would probably be terrified.
(In any case, I need to move so that I can make good use of the original plan. For that purpose...)
I hugged Arisu and stroked her head as I thought about my future plans.
After a few days of attending school after my serious injury, it was finally the day before the end of the school year's exams.
However, the topic of end-of-year exams is not widely talked about in schools.
The reason is simple: Ichinose went to school for the first time in a while today.
Well, it doesn't matter to me. Since I have already received the settlement money, I have no intention of interfering with Class C.
With that in mind, I arrived at my lunch break, so I put away my textbook and notebook.
However, Arisu would probably mess with Ichinose, and while I was wondering what was going on, I received an email, so I checked and it was from Arisu.
''I'm going to class C now, but please don't come yet, Hachiman-kun. I will explain the details later, but, please come after I send you a blank email.''
That's what it was about. I don't know the details, but I think she's trying to harass her.
Even though I thought so, I replied that I understood, then took a seat and started eating my lunch.
Since I was told to come when I received an email, it would be better to stay in the classroom.
After eating my lunch for a while, the classroom door opened with a loud bang.
''Hey, everyone, we have big news!'' When I look at the door, Ike exclaims excitedly.
The students in the classroom looked at the pond in surprise. ''It's a festival! It's a festival! Looks like the guys from A class have boarded the C class!''
It seems like Arisu is headed to the C class.
''Looks like they moved in conjunction with Ichinose-san's return,'' Horikita muttered as she left the classroom.
Following that, Sudo and Hirata also left.
Ayakoji then leaves the classroom along with Yukimura and Miyake.
When I look at such a scene, attention is drawn to me. I guess it felt strange that I, who was in love with Arisu and her boyfriend, didn't move.
As I continued to eat my lunch while attracting attention like this, I heard a commotion coming from outside the classroom.
Maybe she's having trouble.
But why did you call me later?...
As I was tilting my head inwardly, I received a blank email from Arisu, so I stood up, left the classroom, and walked down the hallway, when Nagumo came up the stairs with Chabashira-sensei and Hoshinomiya-sensei.
"Yo Hikigaya. How's your arm doing?"
"It's better now. But Pres. Nagumo are you mediating the nonsense going on in Class C?"
"That's the place. I thought you were definitely seeing the commotion."
"I was just about to go after eating my lunch"
As I headed towards Class C while spouting random lies, I saw a group of onlookers in the hallway, peeking into the classroom.
As you approach, you will hear voices.
"I see, you did a good job of dealing with B-class. However, your past will not disappear. This rumor will continue to spread from now on."
"Yeah. I'm not going to run away from that."
You can hear the exchange between Arisu and Ichinose. Judging from the atmosphere, Ichinose seems to have recovered.
“I see, then let’s be thorough…”
"Okay, that's it." Hoshinomiya-sensei spoke, trying to interrupt Arisu's words.
At the same time, Arisu looks at me.
"Hey, Hachiman-kun. I thought you weren't there, but you were late."
Arisu pretends to be dumbfounded.
"I was eating."
"Well, It's important to take care of your health."
"If I feel unwell, please take care of me in a nurse's uniform. Has Ichinose recovered?"
"Yes. Well, aside from that, there are two teachers and the student council president...there are quite a few big names here, but are they going to intervene in the problems between the first years?"
"Ah, it's certainly a skirmish between first-year students. However, as of today, spreading rumors is prohibited. It's already beyond the scope of students."
''What do you mean?''
Chabashira-sensei answers that question. ''I won't go into details, but it has been clearly confirmed that there is an exchange of slander among you first-year students. With the end-of-year exams approaching, we should avoid further disruption of public morals. Therefore, I would like to inform you that anyone who spreads any more false rumors than this may be subject to punishment.''
Well, if rumors like that were to spread, the school would take action.
"...I see, is that what you mean?"
Arisu knows everything, but she nods as if she just knew it.
"Let's pull up. If the school has moved, there's no need for us to come."
Arisu said so to her bodyguards, Masumi and Hashimoto. It's reasonable to retreat, but I don't understand why you called me.
With a question mark on my face, Arisu tries to leave Class C, but stops and looks at Ichinose.
Along with this, tension runs through the C-class, which seems to be happy with Arisu's withdrawal, and Ichinose narrows her eyes slightly.
"...Oh, I forgot. There's one more thing I wanted to ask Ichinose-san...was it your order that seriously injured Hachiman-kun?"
The air suddenly became heavy. I see. Did Arisu call me in order to lend credibility to the story that the C class students wanted to keep secret from Ichinose?
It's the best kind of harassment.
"...What do you mean?"
''The day after Ichinose-san took the day off, several C-class students got into D-class and surrounded Hachiman-kun, and Watanabe-kun, out of an unreasonable grudge, punched him, resulting in a broken left arm and injuries that required several stitches in his head....Did you give the order? Or are your classmates keeping their crime secret?”
Arisu looks at the C class students with a shocked expression.
On the other hand, Class C was looking at Arisu with their eyes, thinking that maybe because she told Ichinose something that they didn't want her to know, she was saying something unnecessary...
Well, Arise probably targeted them because of her personality.
"Please answer, was it Ichinose-san's strategy that seriously injured Hachiman-kun? Or was it Watanabe-kun's own decision?"
However, Arisu shows no mercy and asks questions. At the same time, the hostility of the C class, which had been in a victorious mood until just now, increased.
"It was my decision to hit Hikigaya! Ichinose has nothing to do with it!"
"We just did it on our own to board the D-class, Honami-chan has nothing to do with it!"
“The teacher just warned me before that, so is it okay to say something like that?!”
Arisu shook her head with a faint smile on her face at C-Class.
"There's no problem. What the school banned was just spreading rumors, and what I'm doing is stating the clear facts. It's an undeniable fact that Watanabe-kun punched Hachiman-kun and caused serious injury. This is not a rumor.”
Well, I guess so.
Only rumors were banned.
"However, from the way your classmates are speaking, it seems that Ichinose-san has nothing to do with it. Now, I would like to give another warning to Ichinose-san."
"……What?"
Arisu grins at Ichinose who is wary...
“You are free to continue to be the class leader, but in that case, it would be better to properly train the dogs below you, like Ryuen-kun, Ichinose-san's class give in to their emotions, cause violence and trouble to the other classes.”
That's what she told them.
''you!”
At that moment, the hostility towards Arisu increases from class C.
Well, what if Class C was told that their classmates were worse than Ryuen, their eternal enemy.
But what she said is not wrong.
Ryuen likes violence, but although he may use it for strategic purposes, he generally does not use it when it would cause damage to himself.
If you think about it that way, Watanabe, who gets emotional and resorts to violence, is probably worse than Ryuen.
Arisu doesn't really care about the hostility from Class C and smiles.
"Now, please excuse me. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do as a leader in the future."
After saying that, Arisu takes Masumi and Hashimoto with her and leaves the classroom.
Now that the person involved is gone, there's no need for me to be here, so I guess I'll go home too.
"She's quite scary."
When I was about to leave Class C, Nagumo said something like that, but I had no intention of denying it.
"That's right. By the way, will Arisu be punished for this exchange?"
"No. As Sakayanagi herself said, she's only telling the truth. If she repeats herself, I'm going to warn her."
Well, if you repeat it over and over again, it will probably happen.
However, Arisu should be able to discern that aspect.
After leaving the classroom, I glanced over and saw that even though Ichinose had been revived, there was a heavy atmosphere.
To be honest I'm just disappointed in Ichinose.
I was really overestimating her, she's just a stupidly kind person. If Ichinose does not change her ideals and continue like this, only hell will await her.
Because the adult society is not rainbow and sunshine as Ichinose imagined.
As expected from Arisu. When she does it, she seems to do it thoroughly.
Even with that in mind, I returned to the classroom.
"5 million private points."
My words create silence. But it all happened in an instant...
“w-5 million!?”
Watanabe's face becomes full of despair. However, I ignores Watanabe and talks to Kanzaki.
"The price for the settlement negotiation is 5 million. If you can't pay it, I'll leave it up to the school and ask Ichinose about this matter."
“Wait a minute! Ichinose has nothing to do with it, right?!”
Watanabe yells because Ichinose's name comes up, but I have no intention of attacking her.
"Shut up, perpetrator. You don't have the right to speak out because you're in the position of being punished. Why don't I just complain to the police instead of the school, huh?"
"...!"
As I spoke, I pointed to my left arm, which had a cast on it, to silence him.
In fact, I tried to sue Kushida to the police along with Ryuen.
"Wait, Hikigaya. 5 million isn't fair. At best, 2 million is fair."
"Then I'll just leave it to the school to deal with it. As soon as Watanabe's punishment is complete, I'll strictly investigate whether Ichinose gave instructions to him. Violent incidents will not be tolerated.”
I dismisses Kanzaki's suggestion. I have no intention of compromising.
In fact, even if Class C reaches a settlement and there is no problem, I plan to legally expel Watanabe through a special exam after a while.
"However, it would be impossible to prepare 5 million ppts all at once, so I will wait for one day. Transfer 5 million ppts to my terminal by tomorrow after school. If the money was not deposited, I will just ask the school to take action, alright?”
As I say this, I look at the witness.
Nagumo and Sakagami-sensei were smiling, Chabashira-sensei had her usual expression on her face, Mashima-sensei had a difficult expression on his face, and Hoshinomiya-sensei had lost her usual smile and was glaring.
"As for the settlement, it's a matter between the parties involved, so I don't mind if you decide."
Sakagami-sensei replied. It seems that it has been decided.
“So, is it okay if we just disband today?”
"That's right. The five of us, including the teachers and Nagumo, will discuss punishment again. We don't know if they will be expelled or suspended, but Hikigaya and Watanabe should come here at 4 o'clock tomorrow. Watanabe will propose a settlement. In that case, you will have to pay 5 million ppts in our presence at that time.''
And if you don't pay, then the school will punish you.
"I got it"
"……yes"
When the two parties nod, we are told to disband, and the three of us students leave the room.
"Well then. I'm hoping for a good answer...Well, either answer is fine."
"...Don't be silly."
"Are you kidding me? In fact, you seem to think that you're not at fault at all, but from now on, you can pretend that there was no talk of settlement."
"..."
Watanabe glared at my words but fell silent. I guess you still don't understand the position.
"If you're going to shut up, then stop complaining and start preparing the private points instead."
After saying that to Kanzaki, I walked down the hallway. Even if the outcome turns out to be blunt, there will be merit, and even if a settlement is not reached, Watanabe will be expelled from the school.
I already have a plan to destroy the C class.
Originally, the C class was scheduled to cause a major blow by the middle of the second year, and the target was Watanabe.
Then, before I became a 3rd year student, I had a quick battle with Ryuen, and after I became a 3rd year, I was planning to deal a big blow to Ryuen, but now that he has retired, I am allowed to take my time attacking Class C.
Well, if Ryuen is revived, I'll change my plans a bit.
Well, I have no intention of doing anything now. My plan won't start until spring break, and there's someone I want to eliminate even more than Watanabe.
While thinking about this, I headed to the shoe closet, changed into shoes, and headed to the hospital in the shopping mall.
1 hour later...
"Excuse me"
After completing my medical examination, I leave the hospital and head to the dormitory. Perhaps because it's winter, it gets dark after 5 o'clock, and there are fewer students hanging out at the shopping mall than in summer or fall.
I was starting to feel cold so I was walking quickly when Ryuen came out of the supermarket with a shopping bag and our eyes met.
"Yo Ryuen. You buy a lot of snacks, but eating too much is bad for your health."
"Shut up, you're not my parent. Besides, are you back from the hospital?"
"Well, I'm glad it wasn't my dominant arm that broke."
If it were my right-hand, I would be in a big pinch during the special exam that would be held in the future.
Well, I think it will be convenient for me.
"So? How much did you get?"
It seems that people like Ryuen think that I have negotiated a settlement.
"No, I won't know whether they will agree to a settlement until after school tomorrow. If they agree, I will get 5 million, but if they don't, there is a high probability that he will be expelled."
"You actually earned 5 million yen. I wouldn't mind it, but there's no way Ichinose's classmates would overlook his expulsion."
Ryuen is right. If this were Ryuen or Arisu, I think they would abandon it at Mach, but the C class guys would probably prepare 5 million.
Otherwise, Ichinose, who has been taking a break recently, would be damaged.
Actually, I wanted to ask for around 10 million yen, but there is a possibility that the other side doesn't have it, and in the worst case scenario, the other side might give up on trying to settle the matter.
If that happens, Watanabe may be expelled and Ichinose may be depressed, but there is also a possibility that the C-Class members will come up with an excuse like "Hikigaya didn't agree to a settlement.''
"Well, I guess so. It's unexpected that my bones were broken, but I'm grateful for the extra income, and I'm grateful to the person who spread the rumors."
"So? I don't think Sakayanagi spread the rumors, but did you spread the rumors around Ayanokoji?"
After all, doesn't Ryuen suspect that this is the work of Class A? If you think about it that way, there's still a huge difference between Horikita and Ryuen.
"At least I haven't done it, so it's probably that creep."
Among the rumors spread in Class D, there was the matter of Ayanokoji and Karuizawa, and Horikita told me that Hashimoto had seen him and Karuizawa together.
If that's all there is to it, I suspect it's the work of Class A, which Hashimoto is in, but Arisu doesn't seem to have spread it.
And the only people who know about the relationship between Ayanokoji and Karuizawa are me, Ryuen, and his subordinates, but I'm different, and Ryuen has also drawn the line, and his subordinates are better at physical violence than bad publicity.
So it would be different.
In that case, the only remaining option would be that creep himself.
If rumors of his identity were to spread, only some people would be able to tell that Ayanokoji was the culprit.
If bad reviews spread throughout each class, schools will be forced to take action, and punishments related to bad rumours may be added in the future.
If that happens, there is a high possibility that Ichinose will be saved from her bad reputation.
However, if my assumption is correct, I don't understand why Ayanokoji, who prefers peace, would move.
If there was a possibility, he would use Ichinose when confronting the people who have their eyes on him.
"Hey, Hikigaya. You've been quiet for a while now. What are you thinking?"
When I thought about it that much, Ryuen looked at me suspiciously. I seemed to be thinking for a while.
"No, it's not a big deal."
"Huh, how are you going to flirt with Hiyori and the others?"
“That’s something I think about all the time.”
I returned to the dormitory along with Ryuen while returning the favor.
After returning to the dormitory, I flirted with the three of them, but needless to say, I was extremely lonely as I couldn't take a bath or sleep with them due to my broken bone.
the next day……
"Excuse me"
Just like yesterday, after school, I entered the conference room under Chabashira-sensei's guidance.
The participants other than me and Chabashira-sensei have already arrived, but it's not a problem since it's early.
"Before you came, I asked Class C's opinion, and they said they would like to settle the matter. Therefore, if you accept the settlement, it will end as soon as you receive the points, and if you do not agree to the settlement, the school will give the punishment they have prepared for him... Watanabe will be expelled from school."
Well, it's pretty much as expected. 5 million is a lot of money, but if you split the bill among the 39 people excluding Ichinose, it would be around 120,000 per person.
And although class points for C class have decreased since May, they still receive a stable amount of nearly 50,000 yen each month, so 120,000 yen per person is not that bad.
“Then the negotiation is concluded.”
"Okay. I'll send the money now."
When Nagumo operated his cell phone, a beeping sound came from my pocket, and when I checked my cell phone, 5 million yen had been added.
Apparently, Nagumo was entrusted with points from Watanabe.
"I checked. The money has definitely been transferred."
"In that case, this is the end of this case. Also, Hikigaya, now that the matter has been settled, the school has no intention of taking any action regarding this matter. Also, there is one more thing to confirm. Recently, rumors have been spreading. There's an incident going on, are you involved?"
"No way. If I were to attack you, I wouldn't use false rumors, I would use facts to thoroughly corner you."
Like Kushida.
"I'd like you to stop doing that, but...sigh, that's fine. If you're not involved, please don't do it in the future."
"Uh-huh. Well then, I'll excuse myself...(I hope we can continue to do good business in the future)."
"Oh!"
Just before leaving the room, I whisper in his ear so only Watanabe can hear, and he blushes, but since it's in front of the teacher, I have to be careful.
Looking at this scene, I left the room and smiled inwardly.
“Well, now that I have received some unexpected income, let’s make a thorough plan for what’s next.”
However, I have no intention of interfering with the C class for a while.
I'm not denying the tactics of aggressively attacking like Ryuen, but when it comes to C-class, it's better to attack them when they're off guard.
Well, the other side is probably on high alert against me, so I need to turn my attention to B-class.
I headed home thinking about my future plans.
"That's why Class C paid me 5 million. Thanks to that, I have over 15 million private points."
"Congratulations. Even though I was the one who messed with Ichinose-san, she caused my Hachiman-kun to get seriously injured..."
When I returned to the dormitory after settling the matter, I found Arisu there, and when I explained the incident, she got totally pissed.
"Calm down"
"I can't stay calm. I'll show you hell for Watanabe-kun, who seriously injured Hachiman-kun. I originally tried to mess with Ichinose-san to get Ayanokoji-kun, but Ichinose-san's yes-man C class... I will seriously crush Ichinose-san from now on in order to give her despair.”
This is the first time I've seen Arisu so angry.
She has completely lost her composure.
However, losing my composure is a foolish move, so in order to calm her down, I grab Arisu with my free right arm and kiss her.
"Hmm...! Nmm, mm... nah."
Arisu looks surprised, but her expression quickly changes to a happy one and she kisses me back.
After kissing for a while, I parted my lips and looked at Arisu.
"You seem to have calmed down."
"Yes. I'm embarrassed to say that, but it seems like I'm getting a little heated."
"Don't worry about it. Besides, you don't have to be serious. If you really try to destroy Class C, I think it's possible to destroy it, but if you go too far you might get punished by the school."
Plus, since she's in love with me, people would think we were connected from the beginning.
"Well, that may be true. However, I originally decided that I would destroy the C-class eventually, so it will be sooner or later."
"I guess. However, we don't have to destroy the C class just yet. If we are going to destroy it, it would be best to destroy it when there is no risk to us."
Arisu prefers gray tactics, while Ryuen uses black tactics to win.
I'm not going to complain about that because it's a personal choice, but I don't do anything that violates the rules.
Instead, I'll use any method as long as it doesn't violate the rules.
However, I have no intention of attacking Ichinose when she is weak due to her gray tactics.
If we go too aggressive here, there may be a penalty for us as well.
"From the looks of it, it seems like you're already thinking of a strategy. Please tell me."
Arisu told me so, so I explained my plan. Arisu then laughs happily.
"I see. If that's the case, then we can destroy Class C without any risk."
"Well, that said. However, in order to carry out that strategy, I need to be in Class D, and there are various preparations to be made, so if I were to make a move, it would probably be during the summer vacation of my second year at the earliest. It's time for the special exam."
During last summer vacation, there were two exams where class points greatly changed: a deserted island exam and an exam to guess who would get a special offer.
There will probably be a special exam during this summer vacation... or rather, there will definitely be a special exam.
It's impossible for this school to give students the entire summer vacation.
"That would be best. But are you okay? Hirata-kun will definitely object, and Horikita-san who tried to interfere with Hachiman-kun's actions may become an obstacle."
"As for Horikita, she probably interfered because the D-class and C-class have an alliance, but if the alliance is dissolved, she won't interfere."
And the alliance with C-class will be dissolved before two years at the latest.
The reason is simple: the difference in class points between C class and D class is small, and C class cannot maintain its points consistently.
As of May last year, there was a 650 difference between our class and Ichinose's class, but now there is only a 66 difference.
Moreover, our class was in class D because Kushida was expelled, and if Kushida hadn't been expelled, Ichinose's class would have been in class D.
Also, regarding the increase in class points, our class has increased by 469 points from May 1st to today, whereas Ichinose's class has decreased by 115 instead of keeping its points.
Forming an alliance in such a state has only disadvantages for the D class, and Horikita will likely dissolve the alliance before she reaches the second year.
Without it, she would be incompetent, and it would be absolutely impossible for her to defeat Arisu.
"As for Hirata, if he's going to get in my way, I can just threaten to crush his classmates. Like I said earlier, he's a bomb just like Ichinose who have read too many shonen mangas and can't differentiate between fiction and reality. "
The 2nd and 3rd year D class has already fallen to an irreversible level, but our class is not like that.
The current class points are... Class A with Arisu 925 Class B with Ryuen 567 Class C with Ichinose 535 Class D with me 469
So, from B to D, it's a pretty close battle.
Meanwhile, if I were to crush the C-class, no matter what the means, I wouldn't blatantly get in the way. Then the seeds will float.
"As for the D-class, it won't be much of an obstacle. As for the B-class, now that Ryuen has retired, there is no reason not to take advantage of the opportunity to crush the rival class."
"Well, I guess so. But even though Hiyori-san has high insight, the drawback is that she don't have the explosive power that Ryuen-kun has.''
I won't deny it. Hiyori's quick wit makes her one of the best in her grade, but she doesn't have an aggressive personality, so she's not suited for attacking.
It would be a good idea to leave the attack to Ishizaki, who is in charge of the B class like Hiyori, but Ishizaki also has a lower threat compared to Ryuen.
"I guess. In that case, A-class will cover for me. For that reason..."
“I will make sure that everyone in the class saves their Private Points, and uses them as weapons to attack Class C when the opportunity arises.”
"Sorry"
"No. We have to show Watanabe-kun hell. Let's ask him to leave the school as soon as possible."
Arisu says it lightly, but there is strong anger in her eyes. To put it bluntly, I am really scared, but I'm also happy because she's angry because of me.
but……
“No, I will destroy Watanabe eventually, but if possible, I will make someone other than Watanabe the first person to be expelled from Class C.”
"Why is that?"
"It's a simple story. After expelling the students other than Watanabe, the guys from class C, would abuse Watanabe, who has now become cancer for their class, hoping he should have been expelled instead. And when the issue of expulsion comes again, they'll target him."
"I see. So you're giving him a living hell before expelling him?"
Arisu is right. If that happens, the students who have been expelled from the school will probably hurl abuse at Watanabe.
And most of the students other than Watanabe will probably become more hateful as they fear that they will be targeted in the future after being hit so hard.
For them, it would be a picture of hell for the C-class, which uses unity as a weapon, to increase hate.
“Ah, now that we have reached a settlement regarding the broken arm, I have no intention of retaliating in a gray way, but I feel like I need to get revenge in a way that follows the rules.”
Because of that, I can't hug my three lovers, take a bath together, or get close to each other.
"That's right. Thanks to him, I miss being able to hug Hachiman-kun, take a bath together, or get close to him."
It seems that Arisu is thinking the same thing. I was happy about that and put my right hand around Arisu's waist and brought her close to me.
Arisu, on the other hand, is shocked, but she immediately laughs and puts her head on my shoulder.
Then she turns towards me and sticks out her lips, so I bring my face closer to kiss her...
expensive
At the same time, the cell phone in my pocket rang.
Arisu, who was standing in front of me, had a blank expression on her face, and when I took out my cell phone, it was a call from Matsushita.
I pressed the call button even though I felt irritated inside.
"Hello?"
“Ah, Hikigaya-kun. It's a story about Ichinose-san, is it okay?”
"...talk"
While speaking, turn on speaker mode. Arisu also has a suspicious look on her face as it is now in speaker mode.
''I just went to the vending machine to buy a drink, and that's when I met Ayanokoji-kun, so I asked him if he had spread the rumors this time. Then he approved it.''
Ayanokoji was one of the suspects, but did he admit it easily?
Well, since Matsushita is working with me, I guess he thought it would be okay to talk to her.
In fact, I checked the rumors spread among the three classes, and except for the rumors about Ayanokouji and Karuizawa, all of them were things like ''he was violent in middle school'' or ''he's a lolicon,'' and there were no rumors making fun of interpersonal relationships.
With this, you can easily spread information even if you have a narrow circle of friends.
And if he does something like that, he must be trying to save Ichinose.
"I think Ayanokoji's plan is to create a situation where the school is forced to take action...and then go and save Ichinose..."
''That's what I thought too, and when I asked Ayanokoji, he admitted it. So, I asked him why he was saving Ichinose-san, I was horrified when he said that if a troublesome enemy came, Ichinose, and the C-class who idolized her, he might be able to use them... Hikigaya-kun, was really right about Ayanokoji-kun being creepy. There's really something wrong with his brain, to be honest, I don't want to be in the same class as him.... ''
Do you have a plan after all?
However, if Ichinose is completely in his hands, it is not impossible to move the C class.
If that happens, we will have enough strength.
“But, do you know who the troublesome enemy is? If it's Sakayanagi-san, I think he'll clearly say Sakayanagi-san.''
"I don't know about that either. Anyway, thank you for the information. Also, since Ayanokoji is going to save Ichinose, I won't move any further, so you shouldn't either"
Matsushita's presence in the C class is well known, and moving any further would be a disadvantage.
"Roger that. see you later"
After those words, the call ended, and Arisu smiled happily as I put the cell phone in my pocket.
"Ayanokoji-kun, really moved huh? In any case, the most troublesome enemy will most likely be the assassin from the White Room."
"If I remember correctly, that creep's father has some of the highest power in Japan. Does he use that power to admit people from the White Room?"
"It's possible. Even so, I feel bad for Ichinose-san....Well, we can't say anything about Ayanakoji-kun's personality. Since, most of the students from White Room are like this."
I agree. Currently, Ichinose is being bullied by Arisu, and I don't think she knows it yet, but her important classmates are taking points away from her.
And Ayanokoji is trying to save Ichinose, but the reason why he saves Ichinose is too harsh because he wants a wall of flesh against the assassins from the White Room.
Even if Ichinose were saved and had affection or romantic feelings for Ayanokoji, but from that creep's perspective, it would only be seen as a wall of flesh.
If it loses its value as a meat wall, there is a strong possibility that it will be discarded.
If my assumption is correct, Ayanokoji is clearly far more brutal than me or Arisu.
They put their own interests above ours.
Well, if an assassin comes from the White Room and Ayanokoji is able to use C-class as a wall, I won't have to go out of my way to move, so let's just say it's fine.
But just like Arisu, people like him can be considered in the category of Psychopaths.
If Ichinose were to find out what his real thoughts are, she would probably be terrified.
(In any case, I need to move so that I can make good use of the original plan. For that purpose...)
I hugged Arisu and stroked her head as I thought about my future plans.
After a few days of attending school after my serious injury, it was finally the day before the end of the school year's exams.
However, the topic of end-of-year exams is not widely talked about in schools.
The reason is simple: Ichinose went to school for the first time in a while today.
Well, it doesn't matter to me. Since I have already received the settlement money, I have no intention of interfering with Class C.
With that in mind, I arrived at my lunch break, so I put away my textbook and notebook.
However, Arisu would probably mess with Ichinose, and while I was wondering what was going on, I received an email, so I checked and it was from Arisu.
''I'm going to class C now, but please don't come yet, Hachiman-kun. I will explain the details later, but, please come after I send you a blank email.''
That's what it was about. I don't know the details, but I think she's trying to harass her.
Even though I thought so, I replied that I understood, then took a seat and started eating my lunch.
Since I was told to come when I received an email, it would be better to stay in the classroom.
After eating my lunch for a while, the classroom door opened with a loud bang.
''Hey, everyone, we have big news!'' When I look at the door, Ike exclaims excitedly.
The students in the classroom looked at the pond in surprise. ''It's a festival! It's a festival! Looks like the guys from A class have boarded the C class!''
It seems like Arisu is headed to the C class.
''Looks like they moved in conjunction with Ichinose-san's return,'' Horikita muttered as she left the classroom.
Following that, Sudo and Hirata also left.
Ayakoji then leaves the classroom along with Yukimura and Miyake.
When I look at such a scene, attention is drawn to me. I guess it felt strange that I, who was in love with Arisu and her boyfriend, didn't move.
As I continued to eat my lunch while attracting attention like this, I heard a commotion coming from outside the classroom.
Maybe she's having trouble.
But why did you call me later?...
As I was tilting my head inwardly, I received a blank email from Arisu, so I stood up, left the classroom, and walked down the hallway, when Nagumo came up the stairs with Chabashira-sensei and Hoshinomiya-sensei.
"Yo Hikigaya. How's your arm doing?"
"It's better now. But Pres. Nagumo are you mediating the nonsense going on in Class C?"
"That's the place. I thought you were definitely seeing the commotion."
"I was just about to go after eating my lunch"
As I headed towards Class C while spouting random lies, I saw a group of onlookers in the hallway, peeking into the classroom.
As you approach, you will hear voices.
"I see, you did a good job of dealing with B-class. However, your past will not disappear. This rumor will continue to spread from now on."
"Yeah. I'm not going to run away from that."
You can hear the exchange between Arisu and Ichinose. Judging from the atmosphere, Ichinose seems to have recovered.
“I see, then let’s be thorough…”
"Okay, that's it." Hoshinomiya-sensei spoke, trying to interrupt Arisu's words.
At the same time, Arisu looks at me.
"Hey, Hachiman-kun. I thought you weren't there, but you were late."
Arisu pretends to be dumbfounded.
"I was eating."
"Well, It's important to take care of your health."
"If I feel unwell, please take care of me in a nurse's uniform. Has Ichinose recovered?"
"Yes. Well, aside from that, there are two teachers and the student council president...there are quite a few big names here, but are they going to intervene in the problems between the first years?"
"Ah, it's certainly a skirmish between first-year students. However, as of today, spreading rumors is prohibited. It's already beyond the scope of students."
''What do you mean?''
Chabashira-sensei answers that question. ''I won't go into details, but it has been clearly confirmed that there is an exchange of slander among you first-year students. With the end-of-year exams approaching, we should avoid further disruption of public morals. Therefore, I would like to inform you that anyone who spreads any more false rumors than this may be subject to punishment.''
Well, if rumors like that were to spread, the school would take action.
"...I see, is that what you mean?"
Arisu knows everything, but she nods as if she just knew it.
"Let's pull up. If the school has moved, there's no need for us to come."
Arisu said so to her bodyguards, Masumi and Hashimoto. It's reasonable to retreat, but I don't understand why you called me.
With a question mark on my face, Arisu tries to leave Class C, but stops and looks at Ichinose.
Along with this, tension runs through the C-class, which seems to be happy with Arisu's withdrawal, and Ichinose narrows her eyes slightly.
"...Oh, I forgot. There's one more thing I wanted to ask Ichinose-san...was it your order that seriously injured Hachiman-kun?"
The air suddenly became heavy. I see. Did Arisu call me in order to lend credibility to the story that the C class students wanted to keep secret from Ichinose?
It's the best kind of harassment.
"...What do you mean?"
''The day after Ichinose-san took the day off, several C-class students got into D-class and surrounded Hachiman-kun, and Watanabe-kun, out of an unreasonable grudge, punched him, resulting in a broken left arm and injuries that required several stitches in his head....Did you give the order? Or are your classmates keeping their crime secret?”
Arisu looks at the C class students with a shocked expression.
On the other hand, Class C was looking at Arisu with their eyes, thinking that maybe because she told Ichinose something that they didn't want her to know, she was saying something unnecessary...
Well, Arise probably targeted them because of her personality.
"Please answer, was it Ichinose-san's strategy that seriously injured Hachiman-kun? Or was it Watanabe-kun's own decision?"
However, Arisu shows no mercy and asks questions. At the same time, the hostility of the C class, which had been in a victorious mood until just now, increased.
"It was my decision to hit Hikigaya! Ichinose has nothing to do with it!"
"We just did it on our own to board the D-class, Honami-chan has nothing to do with it!"
“The teacher just warned me before that, so is it okay to say something like that?!”
Arisu shook her head with a faint smile on her face at C-Class.
"There's no problem. What the school banned was just spreading rumors, and what I'm doing is stating the clear facts. It's an undeniable fact that Watanabe-kun punched Hachiman-kun and caused serious injury. This is not a rumor.”
Well, I guess so.
Only rumors were banned.
"However, from the way your classmates are speaking, it seems that Ichinose-san has nothing to do with it. Now, I would like to give another warning to Ichinose-san."
"……What?"
Arisu grins at Ichinose who is wary...
“You are free to continue to be the class leader, but in that case, it would be better to properly train the dogs below you, like Ryuen-kun, Ichinose-san's class give in to their emotions, cause violence and trouble to the other classes.”
That's what she told them.
''you!”
At that moment, the hostility towards Arisu increases from class C.
Well, what if Class C was told that their classmates were worse than Ryuen, their eternal enemy.
But what she said is not wrong.
Ryuen likes violence, but although he may use it for strategic purposes, he generally does not use it when it would cause damage to himself.
If you think about it that way, Watanabe, who gets emotional and resorts to violence, is probably worse than Ryuen.
Arisu doesn't really care about the hostility from Class C and smiles.
"Now, please excuse me. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do as a leader in the future."
After saying that, Arisu takes Masumi and Hashimoto with her and leaves the classroom.
Now that the person involved is gone, there's no need for me to be here, so I guess I'll go home too.
"She's quite scary."
When I was about to leave Class C, Nagumo said something like that, but I had no intention of denying it.
"That's right. By the way, will Arisu be punished for this exchange?"
"No. As Sakayanagi herself said, she's only telling the truth. If she repeats herself, I'm going to warn her."
Well, if you repeat it over and over again, it will probably happen.
However, Arisu should be able to discern that aspect.
After leaving the classroom, I glanced over and saw that even though Ichinose had been revived, there was a heavy atmosphere.
To be honest I'm just disappointed in Ichinose.
I was really overestimating her, she's just a stupidly kind person. If Ichinose does not change her ideals and continue like this, only hell will await her.
Because the adult society is not rainbow and sunshine as Ichinose imagined.
As expected from Arisu. When she does it, she seems to do it thoroughly.
Even with that in mind, I returned to the classroom.
