It's been a few days since spring break started, and April is almost here, but what I'm doing hasn't changed.
When I wake up in the morning, I flirt with Hiyori and the others, go to Keyaki Mall, eat delicious food, and when I get home, I flirt with Hiyori and the others, and at night I eat them.
That's my daily routine during spring break.
That's why I thought today would be the same as usual, but today was different.
"Okay, Hachiman-kun. Like I said before, I'm going to go to the movies with Matsushita-san... hmm."
"I'll see you later...tsk."
“I want to be pampered again when I get home...mmmm.”
After saying that, Hiyori and the others kiss me and leave the room.
Apparently she's going shopping with Matsushita today.
Matsushita kissed me the other day, and she seems to be getting along well with Hiyori and the others.
Well, at that time there was an atmosphere that made it impossible to resist the punishment game, and I don't think Hiyori and the others who created that atmosphere would blame Matsushita.
In any case, what should I do if the three of them aren't there?
Should I hang out by myself or watch the porn videos I shot with Hiyori and the others in my room?
At this point, my cell phone started ringing, so I took it out of my pocket and it was Hashimoto...
“Are you free today? If you have free time, let's play.''
That simple sentence was written.
“I’ll take it”
I replied that I understood, and Hashimoto immediately responded.
"Then come to the men's restroom on the second floor of Keyaki Mall near the shoe store at 11:30.''
I feel uncomfortable with the reply from Hashimoto.
The shoe store is located at the edge of Keyaki Mall and is far away from movie theaters, arcades, and karaoke, making it a spot with few people.
There aren't many people using the men's restroom near the shoe store. If they decided to use a place like that as a meeting place, they would probably have a secret meeting in front of the building.
"Well, okay."
I have free time today anyway, and I want to know what the other guys are doing.
I take off my loungewear and get dressed for going out. Then, when all I had to do was go, I started up my computer, accessed the school's internet, and read,
"For first-year students only!''
Let's look back on the past year! Put up a bulletin board with the name.
Now you can see what everyone's opinions are.
Since it's anonymous, you'll be able to express your opinions about things you normally wouldn't be able to say out loud.
Some students will write honest opinions, but there will also be students who write bad things about others, so they will use this as a weapon.
And I won't be punished. The reason is that the title of the bulletin board is
"1st year students only! Let's look back on the past year!
But it's not a particularly malicious title.
This is “1st year only! Let's talk about the usefulness of each class! It's fine if the title is blatantly malicious, but if you create a bulletin board with a non-malicious title, there's no problem.
After I create a bulletin board, I leave the school network. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of reaction there will be after I get home.
I just use my computer to do research.

「…………」
"What's wrong, Sakayanagi-san?"
“Your face looks really scary.”
"Do you want to go to a different store?"
"There's no need to worry. I just wanted to punch Hachiman-kun for some reason."
"Huh, what really happened?''
"Now, the men's restroom is... it's alright."
I headed to my destination at 11:30, but there was no one around the men's restroom. I look towards the shoe store, but there are only a few students looking at the shoes.
"Maybe it's in the toilet?"
While wondering, I entered the bathroom and Hashimoto was there...
"Kukuku... This bastard is coming after all."
Ryuen is also there, smiling fiercely. All traces of the quiet Ryuen from a while ago have completely disappeared.
"Hey, I haven't heard that Ryuen will be there. I expected a secret meeting, but what are we going to talk about?"
I look at Hashimoto and ask him a question, but Hashimoto just laughs.
“What, I was thinking of summarizing the past year. I just called another person, so please wait a little.”
"Ah? Wasn't it Hikigaya who you called earlier?"
Ryuen looked at Hashimoto suspiciously, but apparently Hashimoto had called someone else.
"I called Hikigaya over an hour ago by email like you but I called another one just now..."
While we were talking, I heard footsteps coming from outside. If he wasn't a student who was simply using the restroom, he would be the one Hashimoto called...
"Oh? I see you've brought in another interesting person."
"I never thought a person from Chihiro Shiranami's class, which was infested with parasites and dropped from B to D, would come."
The person who came was Kanzaki, the leader of the B class when they first entered the school.
"It seems like he really wants to meet you guys. I decided to act as a bridge."
"So, the reward is a connection with Ichinose's class? I don't care what you say about making connections with other classes, but if you cause harm to Arisu and Masumi, I'll delete them immediately."
I don't complain about betrayal. I also betray you often. However, if hr endanger the two of them, I will mercilessly erase them.
"Aren't you even more murderous?"
"Because I'm training."
I've been treated by Ayanokoji several times since then, and I feel like I've grown.
If I continue like this, I am confident that I will be able to destroy the insurmountable wall of talent.
"I'm quite interested in that, but why did you call this guy? It's not going to be boring, right?"
Ryuen looks at Kanzaki and asks Hashimoto a question.
Kanzaki, on the other hand, looked back at Ryuen with sharp eyes.
"I don't know what you're expecting, but I don't have anything to please you. I just wanted to talk to you about the end-of-year exams."
"Year-end exam? Ah, you guys were beaten up by Ryuen's class."
"Originally, we were supposed to win all the games, but Ichinose and the others used a cowardly move."
"A cowardly move? What happened?"
Hashimoto asks with interest.
''In the written exam that Ichinose's class gave, there were a lot of people who retired from both classes due to abdominal pain, and as a result, the number of people in my class was smaller than Ichinose's class.''
Hashimoto laughs in amusement.
"I see. Was Ichinose's retirement from class a fake to make people think it was the work of Ryuen and the others? That's a very cowardly move."
"Don't be fooled. Regarding that matter, I can only think that Ryuen threw away the fight in order to disparage Ichinose!"
Well, actually it is. In fact, Ryuen could have won all the battles if he wanted to, but he purposely gave up the fight because of the harassment.
However, whether Ryuen admits that story is true or not is a different matter.
Then...
"Well, it's true. I'm telling you, there's no point in complaining. Your classmates were the ones who planted the laxatives."
Ryuen honestly admits that he gave up on the fight.
"There was a spy after all. Then we need to make that spy worthless!"
"Huh. Can you do that?"
"It's not impossible. I don't know who the spy is, but he is definitely someone who is strongly dissatisfied with Ichinose's methods. If she changes her methods, that spy will quit his job. I don't think anyone would willingly become a spy."
Well, I won't deny it.
Both Ryuen and I are trash, so I'm sure the spies are worried about the possibility of being discarded.
Still, he spies because he is strongly dissatisfied with Ichinose's methods.
If Ichinose changes her policy, I don't think she will join me or Ryuen, who are likely to cut his tail.
Therefore, what Kanzaki is saying is not completely wrong...
"I don't think Ichinose will change her policy."
That's the key issue. Ichinose will never abandon the weak.
Even if she has to burden the strong by asking for their cooperation.
Well, if they stick to such a pointless policy, they won't be able to recover.
Even if you can change your policy, if it's too late, I don't think you'll be able to move up to A class.
"If it works normally. But if someone drops out, she has no choice but to change."
From the looks of it, Kanzaki seems to be considering erasing his classmates.
Ryuuen laughs in amusement at this.
"Huh. I don't think Ichinose's right-hand man should say something like that. But, whether they're expelled or not, I'll completely destroy the D-class."
"I don't know what methods they will use, but unlike Ichinose, I will not show mercy. I plan on defeating you and Hikigaya as well."
"Regardless of whether you show mercy or not, you won't be able to defeat me. Well, if you defeat Hikigaya, I'll deal with you."
"Don't call people inferior, Dragon Boy."
"Oh? I'll kill you."
Ryuen and I exchange murderous intent, but he has the nerve to treat me like an undercard.
"Well, let's say you'll crush Ryūen later, but let's look forward to seeing how D-class will fare."
As I say this, I relieve myself. I originally wanted to go to the toilet.
"If possible, please change Ichinose's policy. It would be more interesting that way."
When Ryuen stands next to me and adds to his business, Hashimoto does the same and stands next to Ryuen.
"Well, I heard some interesting stories. If you have any other questions, please let me know."
Kanzaki then stands next to Hashimoto, but is this a sign that he won't be left behind?
Well, sooner or later I'm going to crush everyone here, and I'm going to declare war.
"Remember it well."
Kanzaki leaves the bathroom first, but he will definitely try to expel Shiranami.
If I were in Kanzaki's position, I would erase Shiranami, who is hated by the class, and rebuild the system.
I'm interested to see how Ichinose will react if that happens. After all, her right-hand man Kanzaki is trying to erase her best friend Shiranami.
"Now then, Hikigaya. I was planning to attack Ichinose's class with you and Sakayanagi during the first half of second year, but we'll have to wait until summer vacation."
Ryuen says this with a grin on his face. He probably wants to see Kanzaki's movements.
"I don't mind, but I'll get approval from Arisu."
"There's no way that woman wouldn't agree."
I guess so. I'm sure the sadistic Arisu would approve.
“So, in the first semester of the second year, it'll become relatively quiet?”
Hashimoto says so. It's true that in the second year, there won't be any trouble other than Ichinose's class.
However, with the new year and socializing, it is clear that peaceful days will not be possible.
I can't help it, but I need to get in touch with the new students as soon as possible to keep up with the others.
There's still time until the new school year starts, so I need to think carefully about how to outwit them.
That's what I thought while looking at these two people who specialize in cunning.
__________
"Now, what should we do now?"
After finishing my discussion with Hashimoto, Ryuen, and Kanzaki, I am strolling around Keyaki Mall.
Ryuen went home quickly, and Hashimoto had some urgent business to attend to so he went somewhere.
However, it's been raining heavily since the afternoon, so I'm planning to go home in a little while.
As I was thinking of buying some sweets at the supermarket for the last time and heading home, I discovered Ayanokoji.
Moreover, the place where he was found was a bench, and he was alone.
Feeling strangely curious, I approached him.
"Yo Ayanokoji. What are you doing on this empty bench?"
When I talk to him, Ayanokoji gives me his usual expressionless expression.
The expression is still the same.
"Hikigaya? I haven't done anything. Are you doing this because you don't want to go home for some reason?"
“But if you came to Keyaki Mall, didn’t you come to play?”
"I didn't come here to play today, but because Horikita had a discussion with Ichinose, I'm accompanying her. Also, it seems like you have joined the student council."
“Did you hear from Ichinose?”
"Well. She spoke with a gloomy expression."
Well, Ichinose, who values harmony and hates meanness, would want to avoid me, whose motto is government military, from becoming the student council president by using small fry and winning.
"I guess."
“By the way, what kind of system does Hikigaya want to adopt?”
Ayanokoji asks. Well, he probably won't spread the word, I'll announce it sooner or later, so is it okay to talk about it?
"The two things I would like to incorporate the most are "clarifying the ranking of individual students'' and "reviewing the amount of private points paid.''
"It seems the school doesn't allow individual competitions."
"I understand that. However, if an individual can get to A class if he/she performs well, it may be impossible, but if the reward is private points, there is no problem."
"...I see. I understand the meaning of the review of the amount paid for private points."
As expected from Ayanokoji. It seems like he understood what I was trying to do with that much information.
"But if you do that, you'll make half of the students at school your enemy, right?"
"Well, but the only enemies are the small fry. Most of the talented students will think that the small fry will be of no use to them in the future anyway, so they'll accept it. If that happens, the small fry won't be able to openly oppose it and will also be contributing to the class in order to stop being exploited, it's a good move right?"
"There's a limit to being deviant..."
Ayanokoji has a shocked expression on his face, but I don't want him to say that you treat people as pawns and sell Karuizawa to Ryuen.
“However, my thinking is not entirely wrong. Originally, as of May 1st last year, Class A would not be able to loose their position, so Class B~D would continue to improve themselves in order to climb up."
In addition, since this is a school where students will be expelled if they let their guard down even slightly, students who lack the ability have to work hard.
It will be advantageous if you acquire not only academic ability and athletic ability but also knowledge.
"Despite that, most of them just follow the instructions of the class leader and neglect self-improvement. In my class, Sakura, Shinohara, Sato, and Miyamoto are of no use, and they don't put much effort into it. But if my idea goes through, those small fry will be able to help the talented people.''
"Well, Hikigaya's idea is definitely not a loss for a talented person."
"Right?"
"Can you just become the student council president? Hikigaya is better than Ichinose in terms of ability, but she's better in terms of popularity, looks, and friendliness."
"It's not a problem. In the not-too-distant future, Ichinose's policy will be destroyed by her classmates, and Ichinose will no longer be that way."
Judging from Kanzaki's atmosphere earlier, I'm sure he's trying to eliminate Shiranami, the cancer in Ichinose's class.
"I see. Then, is it okay to use Ichinose as my wall? Tsukishiro will probably be here until the middle of our second year at most, and I'll stand out even if I don't like it in the future, but Horikita and Ichinose will be useful at that time. ”
This guy is also a deviant. He thinks he can defeat Acting director by that time.
In other words, he is also intent on turning Horikita into a meat wall.
"Do whatever you like. Also, if Tsukishiro disappears, then Horikita can disappear too, right?"
"That's Hikigaya's freedom. However, depending on the assassins from the White Room, I'll be able to turn her into a wall."
"ah"
But the assassins in the White Room are no big deal to Ayanokoji, right? I heard about the White Room before, and it seems that his fighting ability at the age of 8 was not much different from that of a normal White Room student at the age of 13.
“Also, you said earlier that you didn’t like it because it was noticeable, but is there something wrong with that?”
"After talking with Horikita and Ichinose a while ago, Horikita told me to stop cutting corners and get serious."
"Oh...but you refused, right?"
If Ayanokoji gets serious, it will be for the sake of his own rather than the class.
This guy is even more selfish than me.
"Yeah, but Horikita said she would reveal that I was hiding, so we decided to have a match. There was one rule that the loser would listen to whatever he had to say."
"In that case, is Horikita's request for your full strength? What is the content of the match?"
"Compete for score in one subject in written exam from April onwards"
“You definitely suggested that, right?”
"...." Ayanokoji.
I knew it. I heard from this robot and Arisu that people in the White Room start studying for university before they turn 10, but for the robot, the strongest person in the White Room, studying for high school is on the same level as addition and subtraction.
As someone who knows the situation, it's a surefire match for Ayanokoji.
You'd probably have a better chance of winning in a trivia game or something.
Ayanokoji is quite ignorant of the outside world.
"So? What do you wish for?"
"She won't interfere with my actions, and won't force me to cooperate."
Yeah, I thought you'd say that.
Well, if the contract isn't attended by the school, it's a verbal agreement after all.
No matter who wins, there is an extremely high chance that they will break their promise.
"Well, good luck. Also, I joined the student council, so I'll tell you when I get some valid information."
So I might benefit from moving Ayanokoji.
"Thank you"
As I listened to such responses, clouds began to gather in the sky. The forecast calls for rain in the afternoon.
"I'll go home after shopping, but what about you?"
"I'll be here a little longer. It's not a bad idea to be absent-minded sometimes."
"I see. Then don't catch a cold."
After saying that, I finally headed to the supermarket. Ayanokoji is probably thinking about other things, so I feel sorry for staying so long since I don't have anything special to do.
Even with that thought in mind, I went into the supermarket and bought enough drinks and snacks to eat during spring break.
And when I leave the supermarket...
"Hey, hey. It's already raining like this..."
It's raining more heavily than expected. I sigh as I hold my student ID card over the special machine.
By doing so, you can rent an umbrella.
Well, even with an umbrella, my lower body and underwear would probably get soaked in this rain.
I quickly walk towards the dormitory, but as expected, the rain is so strong that I'm already drenched below my waist.
In addition, there was a fair amount of wind, and my upper body was starting to get wet.
When I get home, I'll drop my stuff at the front door, take off my clothes, and take a bath.
Luckily, there wasn't any ice cream among the things I bought.
I arrived at the dormitory soaking wet, so I hurried back to my room, unlocked the door, put my stuff at the entrance, took off all my clothes, put them in a plastic bag, and went to the changing room.
I can hear the sound of a shower coming from inside, and it seems like Hiyori and the others have returned.
“Sorry, for bothering you.”
I throw the plastic bag containing my clothes and underwear into the laundry basket and head straight into the bathroom.
Then...
.
"……what the?”
In the bathtub, Hiyori, Arisu, and Masumi are looking at me with shocked expressions.
If that's all it takes...
“M-Matsushita…?”
Matsushita, who went out to play with Hiyori and the others today, was also there, not wearing any clothes, and was facing me, who was also naked.
It's been a few days since spring break started, and April is almost here, but what I'm doing hasn't changed.
When I wake up in the morning, I flirt with Hiyori and the others, go to Keyaki Mall, eat delicious food, and when I get home, I flirt with Hiyori and the others, and at night I eat them.
That's my daily routine during spring break.
That's why I thought today would be the same as usual, but today was different.
"Okay, Hachiman-kun. Like I said before, I'm going to go to the movies with Matsushita-san... hmm."
"I'll see you later...tsk."
“I want to be pampered again when I get home...mmmm.”
After saying that, Hiyori and the others kiss me and leave the room.
Apparently she's going shopping with Matsushita today.
Matsushita kissed me the other day, and she seems to be getting along well with Hiyori and the others.
Well, at that time there was an atmosphere that made it impossible to resist the punishment game, and I don't think Hiyori and the others who created that atmosphere would blame Matsushita.
In any case, what should I do if the three of them aren't there?
Should I hang out by myself or watch the porn videos I shot with Hiyori and the others in my room?

That simple sentence was written.

However, it's been raining heavily since the afternoon, so I'm planning to go home in a little while.
As I was thinking of buying some sweets at the supermarket for the last time and heading home, I discovered Ayanokoji.
Moreover, the place where he was found was a bench, and he was alone.
Feeling strangely curious, I approached him.
"Yo Ayanokoji. What are you doing on this empty bench?"
When I talk to him, Ayanokoji gives me his usual expressionless expression.
The expression is still the same.
"Hikigaya? I haven't done anything. Are you doing this because you don't want to go home for some reason?"
“But if you came to Keyaki Mall, didn’t you come to play?”
"I didn't come here to play today, but because Horikita had a discussion with Ichinose, I'm accompanying her. Also, it seems like you have joined the student council."
“Did you hear from Ichinose?”
"Well. She spoke with a gloomy expression."
Well, Ichinose, who values harmony and hates meanness, would want to avoid me, whose motto is government military, from becoming the student council president by using small fry and winning.
"I guess."
“By the way, what kind of system does Hikigaya want to adopt?”
Ayanokoji asks. Well, he probably won't spread the word, I'll announce it sooner or later, so is it okay to talk about it?
"The two things I would like to incorporate the most are "clarifying the ranking of individual students'' and "reviewing the amount of private points paid.''
"It seems the school doesn't allow individual competitions."
"I understand that. However, if an individual can get to A class if he/she performs well, it may be impossible, but if the reward is private points, there is no problem."
"...I see. I understand the meaning of the review of the amount paid for private points."
As expected from Ayanokoji. It seems like he understood what I was trying to do with that much information.
"But if you do that, you'll make half of the students at school your enemy, right?"
"Well, but the only enemies are the small fry. Most of the talented students will think that the small fry will be of no use to them in the future anyway, so they'll accept it. If that happens, the small fry won't be able to openly oppose it and will also be contributing to the class in order to stop being exploited, it's a good move right?"
"There's a limit to being deviant..."
Ayanokoji has a shocked expression on his face, but I don't want him to say that you treat people as pawns and sell Karuizawa to Ryuen.
“However, my thinking is not entirely wrong. Originally, as of May 1st last year, Class A would not be able to loose their position, so Class B~D would continue to improve themselves in order to climb up."
In addition, since this is a school where students will be expelled if they let their guard down even slightly, students who lack the ability have to work hard.
It will be advantageous if you acquire not only academic ability and athletic ability but also knowledge.
"Despite that, most of them just follow the instructions of the class leader and neglect self-improvement. In my class, Sakura, Shinohara, Sato, and Miyamoto are of no use, and they don't put much effort into it. But if my idea goes through, those small fry will be able to help the talented people.''
"Well, Hikigaya's idea is definitely not a loss for a talented person."
"Right?"
"Can you just become the student council president? Hikigaya is better than Ichinose in terms of ability, but she's better in terms of popularity, looks, and friendliness."
"It's not a problem. In the not-too-distant future, Ichinose's policy will be destroyed by her classmates, and Ichinose will no longer be that way."
Judging from Kanzaki's atmosphere earlier, I'm sure he's trying to eliminate Shiranami, the cancer in Ichinose's class.
"I see. Then, is it okay to use Ichinose as my wall? Tsukishiro will probably be here until the middle of our second year at most, and I'll stand out even if I don't like it in the future, but Horikita and Ichinose will be useful at that time. ”
This guy is also a deviant. He thinks he can defeat Acting director by that time.
In other words, he is also intent on turning Horikita into a meat wall.
"Do whatever you like. Also, if Tsukishiro disappears, then Horikita can disappear too, right?"
"That's Hikigaya's freedom. However, depending on the assassins from the White Room, I'll be able to turn her into a wall."
"ah"
But the assassins in the White Room are no big deal to Ayanokoji, right? I heard about the White Room before, and it seems that his fighting ability at the age of 8 was not much different from that of a normal White Room student at the age of 13.
“Also, you said earlier that you didn’t like it because it was noticeable, but is there something wrong with that?”
"After talking with Horikita and Ichinose a while ago, Horikita told me to stop cutting corners and get serious."
"Oh...but you refused, right?"
If Ayanokoji gets serious, it will be for the sake of his own rather than the class.
This guy is even more selfish than me.
"Yeah, but Horikita said she would reveal that I was hiding, so we decided to have a match. There was one rule that the loser would listen to whatever he had to say."
"In that case, is Horikita's request for your full strength? What is the content of the match?"
"Compete for score in one subject in written exam from April onwards"
“You definitely suggested that, right?”
"...." Ayanokoji.
I knew it. I heard from this robot and Arisu that people in the White Room start studying for university before they turn 10, but for the robot, the strongest person in the White Room, studying for high school is on the same level as addition and subtraction.
As someone who knows the situation, it's a surefire match for Ayanokoji.
You'd probably have a better chance of winning in a trivia game or something.
Ayanokoji is quite ignorant of the outside world.
"So? What do you wish for?"
"She won't interfere with my actions, and won't force me to cooperate."
Yeah, I thought you'd say that.
Well, if the contract isn't attended by the school, it's a verbal agreement after all.
No matter who wins, there is an extremely high chance that they will break their promise.
"Well, good luck. Also, I joined the student council, so I'll tell you when I get some valid information."
So I might benefit from moving Ayanokoji.
"Thank you"
As I listened to such responses, clouds began to gather in the sky. The forecast calls for rain in the afternoon.
"I'll go home after shopping, but what about you?"
"I'll be here a little longer. It's not a bad idea to be absent-minded sometimes."
"I see. Then don't catch a cold."
After saying that, I finally headed to the supermarket. Ayanokoji is probably thinking about other things, so I feel sorry for staying so long since I don't have anything special to do.
Even with that thought in mind, I went into the supermarket and bought enough drinks and snacks to eat during spring break.
And when I leave the supermarket...
"Hey, hey. It's already raining like this..."
It's raining more heavily than expected. I sigh as I hold my student ID card over the special machine.
By doing so, you can rent an umbrella.
Well, even with an umbrella, my lower body and underwear would probably get soaked in this rain.
I quickly walk towards the dormitory, but as expected, the rain is so strong that I'm already drenched below my waist.
In addition, there was a fair amount of wind, and my upper body was starting to get wet.
When I get home, I'll drop my stuff at the front door, take off my clothes, and take a bath.
Luckily, there wasn't any ice cream among the things I bought.
I arrived at the dormitory soaking wet, so I hurried back to my room, unlocked the door, put my stuff at the entrance, took off all my clothes, put them in a plastic bag, and went to the changing room.
I can hear the sound of a shower coming from inside, and it seems like Hiyori and the others have returned.
“Sorry, for bothering you.”
I throw the plastic bag containing my clothes and underwear into the laundry basket and head straight into the bathroom.
Then...
.
"……what the?”
In the bathtub, Hiyori, Arisu, and Masumi are looking at me with shocked expressions.
If that's all it takes...
“M-Matsushita…?”
Matsushita, who went out to play with Hiyori and the others today, was also there, not wearing any clothes, and was facing me, who was also naked.
