Chapter 9
"I know it's impossible!" Kamuro-san shouted angrily. Appears to be strong-willed.
Perhaps because she felt that it was an unpleasant topic, Kamuro Masumi did not continue to follow him to the rooftop, but turned around and started walking down the stairs.
It seemed like she was angry, but her footsteps were strange.
Because for a moment they were obviously going away, but suddenly stopped at a certain location.
Hachiman took a few steps back and saw Kamuro-san's long purple hair.
In other words, she is just waiting at the stairs on the fifth floor.
'You are obviously strong-willed, so just leave' Instead of staying there and waiting.
She's such an awkward but kind of cute person. In response, Sakayanagi Arisu just opened her hands slightly and made a helpless expression.
"Kamuro-san is quite cute, but there is still a long way to tame her."
No. 'If this girl treats her classmates as pets to tame, maybe I should also run away with her cane, so she won't be able to follow me?'
"If you want to treat me as a pet." Hachiman paused, "I don't think I can do it."
'If you want to refuse that much, then you shouldn't pause!' Sakayanagi Arisu complained in her heart.
"That's just my bad taste," She clicked her tongue, and blinked her eyelashes cutely, "The correct explanation should be, keeping a spy."
"And Hikigaya-kun, I hope you can become my informant in Class D."
Eh? Hearing this statement, Hachiman looked at the silver-haired weak girl.
Yes. She was frail, petite, with white skin, but unfortunately, was sitting with a cane on her side.
And now, there are two benches placed on the rooftop. The distance between the two is a bit far, but one is in the shade and the other is in the sun.
Sakayanagi is currently sitting on a bench in the shade. Cannot move. Sick and weak.
Such words are imprinted in Hachiman's mind.
"As you can see, my body is very weak." Sakayanagi started to make herself look pitiful, she knows how to use her weakness very well, "In the past, I couldn't even go to school normally, but when I had the opportunity to enter Advanced Nurturing High School, I naturally wanted to experience campus life."
"So I asked Kamuro-san and gave her points, and she helped me do something that I couldn't," Sakayanagi gave him, a small description of her sad life.
I see. So, she chose Kamuro-san because she wanted to complete the story.
Her health is not good and she cannot move in various ways, but Kamuro-san is very strong and seems to have been trained, so it is suitable for her to do errands and the like.
So, it's not something outrageous, just a mutual benefit. Sakayanagi got the errand boy, and Kamuro-san got the points.
Meaning, she's not an over-the-top person, just a bit mouthful.
'But if you say this...I don't believe you' Hachiman overthrew her on the spot.
Because. What she said was that she wanted him to become a spy for Class D.
'Spy. These are not words that a sickly girl can say.'
________
Arisu Sakayanagi, a girl from Class A, first grade. Possess keen insight, decision-making and ability to act.
The specific performance is that on the first day of enrollment, she gained points and information about the school by provoking the upperclassmen.
And she was surrounded by supportive classmates.
In other words, she has become something like the leading representative of the class.
So, for the sake of your own class and to maintain their advantage, isn't it normal to have spies in other classes?
This is the school's default policy.
Otherwise, there would be no anonymous point cards that only cost 100 points each in shopping malls.
Probably it is to facilitate students to do things that cannot be directly announced.
In other words, are you simulating society in advance?
The school's brochure also states that their purpose is to introduce top talents in society.
So, it's really social.
From these perspectives, Sakayanagi Arisu is an excellent Class A student in every aspect.
But. There is something in this that Hachiman feels is inconsistent.
That is.
'If you are a student in Class A and already know some school rules, then why would you come to the weakest class like him?'
If you want to raise a spy, go to Class B
'And aren't you surrounded by classmates who brag and obviously want to lick your shoes?'
'Isn't it okay to just let them do this kind of thing?'
After all, Sakayanagi's in frail health, so doesn't she think it's a lot of trouble to come here to see me as a spy candidate for Class D?
And.
Although she said that she was entrusting Kamuro-san with the work, her appearance showed resistance, but she already looked like a puppy that belonged to her.
So, her domestication ability is also very strong.
It is understandable that outstanding people have interests that ordinary people cannot understand.
but. 'This Sakayanagi Arisu, gives me a feeling of... not being pure enough.'
Similar to... bad taste.
'Hey, hey, so, Sakayanagi Arisu, you are not interested in the stability of the class, but you are just having fun, right?' Hachiman already had a calculation in his mind.
"So." He said tentatively. "Why did you choose me to be the spy of Class D?" 'This is the main question? Why me?'
"It's a very simple reason” Sakayanagi
also knew, that he must be curious about being chosen, so she also started explaining, “Do you still remember the school forum the day before yesterday?” Hachiman nodded.
“....At that time, I sent a post to challenge the seniors. The replies were basically from them, but there was only one person in the same grade.
The student responded, and his reply at the time was like this [Did you also get 100,000 points?]
Whether he was aware of the existence of the school forum or suspected the value of the points I had, they all left a mark in my heart.
And when I clicked on his information, it showed Hikigaya Hachiman, Class D, first grade." She said, while looking at the mentioned boy with eyes full of interest, as if looking at a new plaything.
'In other words, did she pay attention to my reply and then judge that my insight is sharp?'
Indeed. It would be really easy for a boss to have such keen subordinates.
So, now Sakayanagi's willing to pay 100,000 yen a month to keep the eyeliner, because she thinks the other party is worthy of the price...
Hachiman felt more and more that this girl was just deceiving people.
Because. Since, Sakayanagi has obtained some information about the school, she should also know that Class D is the most rubbish.
In the history of the school, Class D has not defeated Class A once.
Therefore, it is completely unnecessary for one of the strongest classes to have an informant in Class D because of their vigilance.
"Let me ask, have you placed spies in Class B and Class C?" Hachiman said.
"Not yet." Sakayanagi denied this question, it was also within her expectations, "Not everyone can be raised by me."
'Then it is false, you really want to play with toys!'
Because as an outstanding representative of Class A, the first thing to consider is to bury the nails in Class B that needs to be concerned about.
Instead of looking for students from Class D."Can you wait a moment?"
"Hmm?" Sakayanagi blinked lightly, not understanding what he meant.
"You are a complete stranger to me," Hachiman said, his face looked quite anxious, "...I want to consult someone else."
With that said, Hachiman pulled out his phone and clicked on the class group...
He doesn't have her number, but he can find her in the class group.
Kushida used her own photo as her avatar, and Sakayanagi just looked at it and remained cute.
"Oh." She remained calm. But in other words, it seems that she knows Kushida Kikyo.
'By the way, Kushida, are you so good that you have even gotten involved with the students in Class A?'
Or is this bitch selling my information like I previously thought?!
Otherwise, how could Sakayanagi arrange for Kamuro-san to trick him over.
An ordinary post reply does not have that much value. Hachiman could never be sure.
___________
"Can I take a photo for confirmation?" Hachiman said after sending a message to Kushida.
"It doesn't matter." Sakayanagi shook her head, it was just a trivial matter for her, "Do you need me to cooperate with you to make a pose?"
“No, as long as someone confirms it's you."
"Really, now?" Although she maintained a polite smile, her eyes were a little disdainful.
'Look, this loli finally started to show her true colours?!' Hachiman received a message on his phone.
That was the encyclopedia information about Sakayanagi Arisu sent by Kushida.
"First-grade class A, Sakayanagi Arisu.
Height: 150cm.
Zodiac sign: Pisces.
She has fair skin, cute appearance, and very textured silver hair.
But it is said that Sakayanagi-san did very well in the written test when she entered school.
She is also very good at mathematics, which everyone finds troublesome.
I just heard that her legs are not flexible and her body is relatively weak, so she was banned from all sports.
She used to attend school for a few days, but because of her health, she had to drop out and stay at home, but received corresponding courses.
According to her, it is rare to experience campus life and she hopes to have a different experience."
Judging from the data summarized by Kushida, a lot of information was collected.
'Although, I think Kushida is not smart enough, she is still very strong when it comes to socializing and collecting information'
Only. Sakayanagi Arisu is very smart and will not tell her information plainly.
In other words...
It can be explained like this. For example, Kushida may have been tricked out of some information.
It's just that she has become agitated in the past two days and doesn't want to reveal her information.
'Then... it becomes possible to sell some other people's home address?'
And among the people who have been in contact with Kushida in the past few days... isn't he the one?
Then Sakayanagi contacted her, gained his information and then specially invited him to come
over... which meant that it was indeed the case.
Kushida betrayed his information. But now that she has obtained data about Sakayanagi's thug life, it's not too bad.
Only.
[According to her, it is rare to experience campus life, and she hopes to have a different experience.]
And when Hachiman saw this girl in Keyaki Shopping Center on the day he entered school, she was boasted and flattered by her classmates.
Since she was unable to come to campus, Sakayanagi Arisu grasped this opportunity to enroll, hoping to experience the missing campus life.
But. On the first day of school, she became a star among her classmates.
In other words, she has reached the peak of her life since the beginning.
Then it is indeed... boring. So, obviously looking for something interesting?
'Hey Hey hey. What a high-end game this is! Hachiman was just about to be deceived.
"I don't think I can accept your offer," He immediately rejected taking this loli's money, Hachiman doesn't want people to think he enjoys bullying little girls, “I am also a member of Class D, so being a spy.... I don't think I could do such a thing.
"And this is the bottom line, please understand." He even bowed his head a little, to make her understand that this was Hachiman's final decision.
The wording seemed very polite. It is also the result of thinking.
Sakayanagi Arisu was probably playing around, and Hachiman didn't want to play house with her.
"Are you sure?" But she didn't want to lose this good opportunity, “If you stay in Class D, you won't have much living expenses next month."
That's it! By the way, you know so much.
Both Chabashira-sensei and the Student council president agreed that if students were informed of the school rules, they would have to pay a price.
In other words, it was like that.
By provoking the upperclassmen and exploiting them, Sakayanagi Arisu gained a huge amount of points.
Through the trading of points, she mastered a complete set of school rules.
But this sentence is also very concerning. 'What does it mean that next month's living expenses won't be much??'
Hachiman thought that the school wanted students of the same grade to compete in class units and make progress through examinations and other methods, but now...
Sakayanagi Arisu's attitude seems to be that... the examination has actually begun.
"Maybe that's the case," Hachiman said. "And the class I am in may have achieved the results worse than you expec."
"Then why don't you come over?" Sakayanagi Arisu didn't even give him a chance to complete his sentence, "....The remuneration I offer is already very generous."
She seemed a little puzzled. Because Hikigaya-kun is not stupid and can understand what she said.
'But, why so stubborn?' Obviously, she also expressed about providing him relief support.
So, Sakayanagi thought this must be a good thing for him, right?
"Because what you call eyeliner is just a whim." Hachiman said. "You actually have no interest in class competition or maintaining your position in Class A."
"Fufu..." This sentence made Sakayanagi from Class A, let out a small chuckle. She is quite cute, and her smile is bright and charming.
But. “You're indeed right.” Sakayanagi's eyes immediately turned cold, "I really have no interest in class confrontation."
"Because it's so boring."
"I thought this school would give me a new experience, but after doing it in person.... it was nothing more than that." She spat such hateful words.
But that's it... really arrogant statement. Hachiman confirmed.
Although Sakayanagi looks weak, this girl's attack power is quite strong.
'If it must be described, then it can be called Tyrannosaurus rex'
But she hasn't grown up yet, so maybe she's a baby Tyrannosaurus rex or she's still a larvae at this point of time.
"To be honest, I have never experienced campus life. I hope to encounter some interesting things here, but it is very boring. So,
Sakayanagi asked with a curious look in her eyes, "Hikigaya-kun, can you understand this feeling?"
'Do you understand this feeling? Of course... I don't understand.'
Because what's bad about this school? It has free tuition, and if you do well, you can save money and leave.
For someone like him who doesn't want to work hard, it's perfect.
But Sakayanagi Arisu had a huge amount of points from the beginning, but she still found it boring.
'In other words, She is indeed the eldest lady. No shortage of money at all, even came here to have fun.
Damn rich girl loli!'
"You are so boring. Do you want to experience the shock of little Class D?" Hachiman said. "The price is, I want to get the information you know about this school."
"..."
"..." Sakayanagi Arisu. She seemed to think about this offer for a moment.
"How much do you know about this school?" she said.
"Probably, points are the most important thing. You can use them to buy any kind of information you don't know..... The school will not do charity, and student's living expenses cannot be provided for free.
Instead, they will compete on a class basis to obtain resources. And the class division at the beginning was unfair.
The students in Class A had the highest quality, and Class D was probably treated as a garbage dump." Hachiman wasn't polite either, to be honest he was just getting more and more irritated by this person.
"..."
"..." Sakayanagi Arisu. 'Don't you already know a lot about this?'
"Okay." She gently moved her cat-like cherry-colored lips, revealing a sly and polite smile.
"Let me experience what you call a [little shock] of Class D..."
Then. Sakayanagi Arisu felt... despair.
The terrible student of Class D, the hateful, bad guy, Hikigaya Hachiman!
_________
Sakayanagi Arisu has never experienced campus life, so she has high expectations for this high school.
But on her first day of school, she provoked the upperclassmen to gain points, and then bought the essence of the school from her class teacher.
Then she found out, that she was assigned to the best class, even gained support from some students in the class.
Suddenly she reached the peak of her school life.
As for the class competition in the school, it is reasonable to say that four classes are fighting together, so it will also become very lively.
But the basic quality of the students in Class A is very strong, and there are not even a few bad students.
So, the values across the entire panel are very high. Then it is fully equipped.
:And aren't the other classes just crooked melons and cracked dates?'
Even Class B is just a bunch of little sheep. So, how to have fun?
In other words, she has already seen the results of graduation just after enrolling.
So for her, the so-called campus life is nothing more than that.
The more she look forward to the campus life of this school, the more Arisu feel disappointed now.
But she also promised her father not to drop out of school midway, but she is now in a very boring state.
And now. First-year class D, Hikigaya-kun, can you bring her fun?
"Okay." She agreed to Hachiman's bet.
As smart as Arisu was, she already understood that Hachiman seemed to want to get information about the school [for free] from her that she had to pay 2 million to buy from the homeroom teacher.
'In other words, this boy is going too far and wants to have sex for free!'
Only. According to Kushida-san, this Hikigaya-kun has a dark history, but he is extremely insightful.
In addition, the other party is not false, so it makes Arisu, a little bit excited.
While she was thinking this, she found Hachiman walking in front of her.
"To ensure honesty, can you hand over your phone first?" He asked very politely.
Oh. 'I'm worried about her recording'
Indeed. Although this school aims to cultivate talents, it is not the kind of completely upright students, so it is also allowed to use some dirty tricks.
And this is [smoothness] to adapt to society.
But Arisu was very tolerant today because she did not record.
Otherwise, if Hikigaya-kun showed any signs of agreeing to be her spy, he would be the one who paid for it.
With this recording of him betraying the class, she can simply not give points to the other party. But the other party was not fooled.
Directly rejected her feeding. So, Arisu took out her white phone and put it on the chair.
"Then you also have to put down your phone!”
"Okay." Hachiman agreed, seeing no problem with this request.
He also placed his cell phone on the other side of the bench. Then looked at Sakayanagi's cell phone as if he was a little worried.
"You didn't record or talk to anyone, did you?"
Sakayanagi's phone screen was dimmed, but it was hard to guarantee whether she had performed any other operations.
"No." She picked up the phone and pressed the fingerprint with her left thumb to unlock it.
What is shown is that no program is in progress.
"So, Hikigaya-kun, what is the shock of Class D that you want to express?
'Is it possible for your class, which is like garbage to defeat Class A? But this kind of thing has never happened in this school before." Sakayanagi just started bragging again.
"About this." Hachiman seemed to be preparing to sell it off, "I think you already know what the overall quality of the students in my Class D is like."
He took her mobile phone and prepared to put it on the other side of the chair.
Even though the action paused, he still continued with his explanation, "It's very bad, right, so if you look at it normally, the living expenses for the next month will be very small."
Oh. Sakayanagi nodded, indeed.
"Wait a minute, what are you doing?!" She finally realized something was wrong.
Because Hachiman not only took her mobile phone, but also her walking stick. At the same time, fingers were working on her phone.
"It's not a big deal. Just send a message to Kamuro-san asking her to go eat first...."
??
"..." Sakayanagi Arisu. Really?
"Don't you have any other ideas?" Her smile seemed to have stopped.
"Sakayanagi." But Hachiman seemed to have no mercy. The mail dialog box is displayed.
[You worked hard for what happened today. It's my fault for asking you to make such sacrifices to invite a boy. So I'm giving you some free time, so you can take a rest. ]
[But at 13:10 in the afternoon, please wait for me in the library. I have a book to borrow. ]
The above is what Hachiman entered.
But now... it's very cruel.
Because Sakayanagi Arisu clearly saw that after receiving this message, Kamuro-san replied.
[Tut! Since you know, don't arrange for me to do these troublesome things!]
Although it was just a text sent, Hachiman can imagine Kamuro-san's mood.
[13:10 I will be waiting at the entrance of the library. ]
The subsequent message seems to indicate that Kamuro has no doubt that Hachiman used Sakayanagi's mobile phone to send her the message.
So, she didn't realize that this was not Sakayanagi.
And the worst thing is that Arisu heard footsteps, but they were getting farther and farther.
Explaining that Kamuro-san, who was guarding the stairs on the fifth floor like a puppy, left.
Kamuro-san was pushed away.
"..." Sakayanagi.
"And Sakayanagi, you think campus life is boring," Hachiman's face seemed to have brighten, even showing a small evil grin "So I decided to give you a little stimulation."
A small stimulation? She felt that this school was just like that, without any troubles.
But now what you're giving me is not excitement, but terror!!
As smart as Arisu was, she immediately understood what Hachiman was doing.
He took away her mobile phone in order to drive Kamuro away. Then even her cane was taken, it was to immobilize her.
This is the rooftop, which is very spacious and the air is good.
But...It's lunch break time now, which means the sun is shining.
There is no sunlight where she is now, but the sun's shining very bright on the other side of the bench.
Just looking at it makes her feel...a little hot.
And if her frail body was thrown there, it would definitely not be able to hold on.
So, if I get exposed to the sun... If I get exposed to the sun...!!! Arisu noticed that Hikigaya-kun had arrived in front of her.
And the other party said.
"As you can see, Class D is treated as a garbage dump, so the quality of the students is also difficult to estimate."
Um. 'It's hard to estimate...that means there is no bottom line...do you mean shameless?'
But. "Hikigaya-kun...” Sakayanagi decided to look at him with a pitiful expression.
It seems that she wants to awaken the other person's sympathy and empathy.
But. Hachiman's two strong hands came over, one was placed on the back of her back, and the other went directly through her knees.
Boom!
Before she could react, Sakayanagi Arisu found that she was already being hugged.
Then she was led forward.
And the direction... is on a bench with sunshine.
'Does this really mean taking me to that bench, where the sun will....?!
'Hey Hey hey. Are you really that sick, Hikigaya-kun! The students in Class D are really terrible!
