"8 million cash"

"....." Komachi.

"???"

"Hikigaya-san?" Chabashira looked at teen girl Komachi and found that she was in a daze.

"Ah... am I dreaming?"

But Komachi shook her head.

"That means my Onii-chan really made cash at school!"

"Not only are tuition and living expenses free, but we can even make money!"

"Komachi....."

"Komachi has always been worried that he wouldn't be able to adapt to being alone in a strange place and a strange school, but now it seems..."

Hachiman's sister burst into tears.

"Onii-chan, you don't need Komachi anymore..." Then she started wiping her tears with her hands.

Forehead? This scene left Chabashira at a loss as to what to do.....'Because I felt like I was seeing the scene where sister was crying and saying that her brother was finally getting married.'

"But, Onii-san, do you have any other requests for Komachi to know?" She cried for a while and asked with a sobbing voice.

"...yeah!" Chabashira quickly handed over the envelope Hikigaya had given her.

Hikigaya said that Komachi needed to keep it well, so Chabashira didn't open it to see what was inside.

What do you think?

"Uh-huh."

Komachi quickly took the letter.

There are words written on it, her brother's handwriting.

[Komachi, please keep it well. Onii-chan's future is in your hands.] by Hachiman.

"...." Komachi. 'So is this something very important?'

She opened the envelope. As a result, what was drawn inside was an agreement.

To be precise, it is a letter of guarantee.

[I Kushida Kikyo swore on my own personality and character.

If I eventually graduates from Advanced Nurturing High School as a Class A student, I will voluntarily enter into a marriage relationship with Hikigaya Hachiman after graduation.

At that time, whether I continue to go to college or go straight to work, I will choose to be responsible for earning money to support the family.

Signed: Kushida Kikyo.]

There is a handprint next to it.

"???" x 2

Both Komachi and Chabashira looked pretty shocked. 'I didn't expect that Hikigaya would ask his sister to keep this kind of thing.'

Other side.

After sending Haruno away and placing Chabashira at Hikigaya's house, Hiratsuka Shizuka went back to her apartment first.

To be precise, she brought the bouquet of fragrant roses back to.

Although it was given by a student.

'This is the first time I've been given flowers, well, let's just say it's from the opposite sex!'

Must be commemorated and preserved.

Although no one saw it, Shizuka Hiratsuka was in a really good mood.

'That guy Hikigaya is really smart!'

If her classmates tease her about no one pursuing her in the future, she can take out the photos of her flowers she received and say that she had also been sent flowers, by people of the opposite sex who were much younger than her.

Those girls will be so pissed off.

Snort! Snort!

Hiratsuka's vanity was greatly satisfied.

Advanced Nurturing High school

It is now 6th day since the holiday.

Hikigaya Hachiman has been leading a fairly regular life.

He goes to cafeteria to eat in the morning and brings lunch to Suzune.

Although he doesn't like studying, he knows that he can't just waste his time.

Therefore, the time from 3 to 5 in the afternoon every day is his study time, and Suzune helps him fill in the gaps.

'Mainly, I tried to integrate into the boys' circle, but I found that they were all playing games....'

Hikigaya is a bit of a loner.

So, he just started studying.

"It looks like there won't be any problem with your math," Suzune put down her red pen and said after checking the exercises done by Hachiman.

There seemed to be a faint smile on her face.

"You are talented in studying." Horikita Suzune has served as the team leader of two study sessions, leading the Karuizawa and other people's teams respectively. 'But I always feel that results are not very good, and I am also accused of not understanding the psychology of poor students. Only Hachiman had a good temper and was easy to understand, which made it easy for me to teach him.'

"I have already learned half of the math for next semester. If you want to pick it up again, then I'm also reviewing..." Suzune wanted to increase the difficulty.

"That's not necessary!" But Hachiman immediately refused.

He just needs to lay a good foundation and then go to class in the next semester, instead of studying in advance now and then having to attend classes again in the next semester.

That means double studying.

No one likes to torture themselves.

Horikita-san, you study for yourself, but Hachiman just wants to avoid being rejected by this school.

'Isn't monthly income of 1.5 million good? If I am expelled because of failing the written test, then I will lose a lot....'

"Speaking of which, why do you study so hard?" Hachiman seemed a little curious, "Your brother said that he wants to continue studying and has his own ideas. Maybe he will go into politics in the future. Then your family's store has no one to inherit it, right? So, you also want to continue to climb up?"

"Me?" This topic made Suzune dumb for a moment, but it seemed that she had thought about it, "I think I want to continue to study at university. When I was a child, my mother was in poor health and was often hospitalized. I thought at that time that I wanted to become an outstanding doctor in the future. So maybe I'll go study medicine."

Becoming a medical student is a good goal.

Doctors have high annual incomes, and what they do is saving lives, which is very meaningful.

'So you don't want to inherit your family's shop. Then in the end, won't you have to resort to marrying a son-in-law into family and let your husband run store?' Hachiman originally thought that Suzune was a nice person, hardworking and motivated.

Although she still had some shortcomings in character, was able to listen to others.

From the initial cold attitude, it has become much softer.

'Especially the rice was delicious. And now I can often see her in casual clothes. I feel more and more that Horikita Suzune is a good person.'

During these days, Suzune cooked and he washed the dishes, and even prepared his own teacup.

This atmosphere made him feel as if he was back home.

It is indeed unacceptable.

So, Hachiman and Suzune agreed to continue studying the next day and walked out.

"Boom!"

He came to the vending machine as usual, but did not walk out of the dormitory building, only in the lobby on first floor.

It's already six o'clock and it's getting dark, and Kushida doesn't have to kick the railing today, so there's no need to go to vending machine.

So he just bought a can of max coffee in lobby on first floor and drank it while sitting on a chair nearby.

This time point is quite special, as it is for everyone to eat or return to dormitory.

He can see many familiar and new people.

"That is..."

"Thank you Ichinose--"

Like Archangel Ichinose, she is still surrounded by her classmates.

The students in her class were in a good mood during this holiday, and were also quite serious.

They were obviously very good academically, but still insisted on attending the study session.

Even applied for a holiday from school and used the classroom, then took tutoring classes in the classroom.

Now the tutoring classes should be over, and people will be going back to the dormitory after having lunch in cafeteria.

But Ichinose didn't notice him here. After all, location of this corner is inconspicuous.

Very quickly, Hachiman noticed that elevator door was open.

Several girls came out, led by a super cute girl with short silver hair.

She holds the cane in her left hand and is still wearing white stockings.

This is Arisu Sakayanagi.

Her speed was not fast, but the girls around her seemed to be following her lead.

They will act only if Sakayanagi takes action.

Sakayanagi Arisu had only taken a few steps when a student lowered his head slightly and whispered something in her ear.

Then, she held the cane and walked towards the lounge chair next to Hachiman.

After that, only Kamuro Masumi, who was holding the rope, was left by the side, and other girls left on their own.

"It's still so impressive." Hachiman noticed that Sakayanagi seemed to have noticed him and was walking towards him, then he made a sarcastic comment.

"Still?" Sakayanagi asked with a cute expression, "Hikigaya-kun has been paying a lot of attention to me lately...."

"No." But Hachiman immediately denied it, "I remembered the first time I saw you. At that time, you were surrounded by your classmates in shopping mall...."

"Fufu——" Sakayanagi recalled the scene at that time, "At that time, I felt that someone was watching me. You see, I am very sensitive to other people's gazes, and at that time I thought that Hikigaya-kun might be a relatively unique person. To be exact, Lolita control. As it turns out, my vision is not bad either."

.....Oh, is that so?

This is first impression. It was beyond his expectation.

"I felt at the time that you had qualities of a leader," Hachiman buttered her up, so that she would go away.

But Sakayanagi didn't believe his words, 'he was clearly staring at me curiously at that time.'

At the same time, she noticed that Hikigaya-kun's gaze had shifted from her to the ground, or to be more precise, to the cat that Kamuro-san was holding.

"This is a cat I bought remember. Don't look at how small it is now, but in a few months, it will probably become a big cat weighing more than 10 or 20 kilograms." Sakayanagi gave her wild cat's future description.

Kamuro-san is holding a ragdoll cat with white fur and black ears.

Ragdoll cats are small and cute, and their meows are also very adorable.

Meow meow meow little clip.

Now it is size of a big rat.

However, Ragdoll is a large cat and can grow into a pig.

At the same time, small and cute thing has a short shelf life, and generally it will lose its cute appearance in 2 months.

"That's great." Hachiman put the can of coffee aside and squatted down, "Can I touch it?"

He seemed very eager to make a move.

Hachiman also had a cat at home, but it was an ordinary named Ka-kun. 'It was given to me by my sister's classmate. I have had it for four or five years, and as a stay-at-home cat, I spend a lot of time with it.'

In other words, Hachiman is a cat lover.
