And this kind of thing.

"How is that possible? Me and Sakayanagi are still genuinely classmates, even now."

"So there's no way it's some master-and-dog relationship!"

"I've never been tamed by her!"

At this moment, the two had already reached the stairs to the Rooftop, and the open Rooftop door was straight ahead.

Perhaps Kamuro's voice was a bit too loud, as a sweet voice came from the Rooftop.

"Alright, Kamuro, I know you're very dissatisfied with me, but this isn't the time for barking."

"You idiot, you've revealed too much information."

The voice was quite lovely, but the meaning of the words contained no politeness whatsoever.

And Kamuro Masumi finally reacted.

"You tricked me!" Kamuro glared at Hachiman.

"…" Hachiman.

It wasn't that he wanted to trick her.

It was that she was too easily provoked.

Hachiman gathered that Kamuro of Class A was likely being treated as a subordinate by the student named Sakayanagi, but Kamuro seemed to disapprove of this.

However, she was still carrying out the other party's orders.

Even if it meant deliberately acting as if she was confessing to an unfamiliar boy.

And doing so would have consequences.

Being noticed by classmates and affecting her reputation, yet even knowing these possibilities, she still carried out the other party's orders.

Doesn't that mean Kamuro is an M?

This made Hachiman wish that the teachers in Class A were like Chabashira, willing to pay for investigating student files.

And by this time, he had already reached the Rooftop.

He gazed ahead.

Kamuro inviting him was a pretense.

It was Kamuro's master who wanted to see him.

And the other party… was not a stranger.

Hachiman and the other party had met once before.

That was the day before yesterday when he saw the frail, silver-haired girl being surrounded by her classmates on a sofa at Keyaki Mall.

And now, Sakayanagi was sitting on a resting bench on the Rooftop.

She was indeed cute.

She had beautiful, silvery-white straight hair, fair skin, and a lovely appearance.

And her cute little legs were wrapped in pure white stockings.

Presumably, all sixteen students he encountered then were wearing school uniforms, making it unlikely they were older students, so they must have been freshmen from the same grade.

And now, their identities were confirmed: they were students from Grade 1 Class A.

"Nice to meet you, Hikigaya. I am Sakayanagi Arisu of Class A."

Sakayanagi Arisu gently rose from the chair and politely curtsied like a lady, "You, from Class D, are quite active."

Sakayanagi Arisu of Class A.

Hachiman had only just enrolled as a freshman and didn't know many people, but this name, in particular, he had heard for a long time.

On the first day of school, he discovered the school forum on his phone.

He found this place to be the quickest way to get school information.

However, one person reacted even faster, and that was Sakayanagi Arisu of Grade 1 Class A.

She directly posted, using Chess as a weapon, to challenge the upperclassmen.

Looking at the outcome, the students in her class surrounded her like stars, so she must have received satisfactory compensation.

Therefore, as a student of Class A, she performed exceptionally well.

She lived up to her reputation.

However.

"I am Hikigaya Hachiman. Although I have no great ambitions, the kind of girl I like is one who has money and can support me."

"But I'm not a lolicon," Hachiman said.

"Because of my eyes, it causes misunderstandings, but when I was at Keyaki Mall before, I didn't intentionally stare at you."

Sakayanagi Arisu was clearly taken aback for a moment.

She probably didn't expect him to say that directly.

However.

"Lolicon, huh…"

"Although my physique seems to be limited to this, I don't accept just any taste," Sakayanagi said with a smile.

In other words, she felt no attraction to Hachiman at all.

But didn't you also not deny that you have money?

"Actually, I didn't ask you to come here for this matter," Sakayanagi said.

"I am quite broad-minded. I won't hold a grudge just because someone stared at me for a few extra glances."

No.

From your statement, you seem quite petty.

"And this time I asked you to come here to offer you a ticket to a life of comfort and ease."

Sakayanagi Arisu said.

"Oh?"

Hachiman looked over.

"You just said it, didn't you? You want to live a life where you are supported, and I can give you that kind of life," she said.

"I'm already raising Kamuro, but if I only have one pet, the pet will feel lonely."

"So I've decided to raise another one."

Oh.

Is that so?

So you directly admit that your classmate is your pet, huh?

But don't you think it's excessive to treat a classmate as a pet?

She's clearly a cute, frail loli, but she's actually a genuine scumbag loli?

"I gave her 100,000 point per month," Sakayanagi Arisu continued.

"And that condition is very generous, you know."

??

100,000?

The settling allowance given by the school to new students upon enrollment, half the reward Hachiman could receive from Chabashira-sensei for investigating a classmate.

And all he had to do was be Sakayanagi Arisu's dog to get this money every month?

Hachiman then looked at the little dog, Kamuro.

Kamuro had actually found such a long-term meal ticket.

However.

"I haven't accepted it!" Kamuro said.

"So I want to raise her, but she hasn't fully agreed yet," Sakayanagi Arisu said unhurriedly.

"Of course not!" Kamuro said, sounding unyielding.

She seemed unyielding.

And probably feeling that she had heard something unpleasant, Kamuro Masumi did not continue to the Rooftop but turned and began to walk down the stairs.

It made one feel as if she was angry, but her footsteps were very strange.

Because the footsteps were moving away, but then suddenly stopped.

As if she had suddenly stopped at a certain position.

And Hachiman took a few steps back and saw Kamuro's purple long hair.

In other words, she was now just waiting at the stairwell on the fifth floor.

If she was so unyielding, then she should have just left, instead of staying there and waiting.

What a stubborn but somewhat cute person.

To this, Sakayanagi Arisu simply opened her hands slightly, making a helpless expression.

"Kamuro is quite cute, but the road to taming her is still very long."

No.

Taming a classmate as a pet? Let's skip that.

"If you want to treat me as a pet."

Hachiman paused, "I don't think I can do that."

If you wanted to refuse so strongly, then you shouldn't have paused.

Sakayanagi Arisu complained inwardly.

"That's just my mischievous way of speaking," Sakayanagi said.

"The correct explanation should be: hiring a spy."

"And Hikigaya, I hope you can become my informant in Class D."

Huh?

Hearing this, Hachiman looked at the silver-haired, frail girl.

Yes.

She was very frail, petite, with fair skin, but unfortunately, although she was sitting, she had a cane beside her.

And right now, there were two benches on the Rooftop, quite far apart, but one was in the shade and one in the sun.

Sakayanagi was currently on the bench in the shade.

Limited mobility.

Frail.

These words came to mind.

"As you can see, my body is very weak," Sakayanagi Arisu said.

"In the past, I couldn't even attend school normally, and having the opportunity to enter this school, I naturally want to experience school life properly."

"So I asked Kamuro, giving her point, and she helps me do things I can't do," Sakayanagi Arisu said.

I see.

So she chose Kamuro to complement herself.

Her body wasn't good, so she couldn't do various activities, but Kamuro was agile, like she had been trained, so running errands and such were very suitable for her to do.

So this wasn't an excessive thing.

It was mutually beneficial.

She had someone to run errands, and Kamuro got point.

So she wasn't an excessive person.

She just had a sharp tongue.

However.

Such words…

I'd believe you if a hammer told me.

Hachiman immediately rejected her.

Because.

What she said was that she hoped he would become a spy for Class D.

A spy, a spy.

These were not words a sickly young girl should utter.

Sakayanagi Arisu, a girl from Class A of Grade 1.

She possessed keen insight, decisiveness, and initiative.

Specifically, on the first day of school, she provoked upperclassmen to acquire points and information about the school.

And she gathered classmates around her who supported her.

In other words, she became a leader or representative of her Class.

So, for the sake of her Class, to maintain her Class's advantage, isn't it normal to have spies in other Classes?

And this point was even tacitly approved by the school.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be anonymous point cards available for only 100 points each on the Shopping Area.

It was probably to facilitate students in doing things that couldn't be directly announced.

In other words, was it simulating society in advance?

The school's promotional brochure also stated that the school's mission was to cultivate talent for the Student Council.

Then it was truly very societal.

So from these perspectives, Sakayanagi Arisu in every aspect fit the description of an excellent Class A student.

However.

There was something Hachiman found incongruous.

That was.

If you are a Class A student and already know some school rules, then why would you come looking for him, from the weakest Class?

If you want to have a spy, then go find Class B.

And aren't you surrounded by classmates who flatter you?

Couldn't you just let them do this kind of thing?

After all, your body is frail, and you specifically came to see him as a candidate for a Class D spy.

Don't you think that's a lot of trouble?

Furthermore.

Although she claimed to have entrusted Kamuro with the task, Kamuro, despite showing resistance, already seemed to belong to her like a puppy.

So her taming ability was also very strong.

It's understandable for excellent people to have interests that ordinary people can't comprehend.

However.

The Sakayanagi Arisu in front of him gave him a feeling of... not being pure enough.

Similar to... a malicious hobby.

Hey, hey, hey, so, Sakayanagi Arisu, you're not interested in the stability of your Class, but simply playing around, right?

Hachiman already had a plan in mind.

"So," Hachiman probed, "Why choose me to be the spy for Class D?"

"A very simple reason."

Sakayanagi Arisu said, "You remember the school forum incident the day before yesterday, right? I posted a thread on the school forum provoking the upperclassmen at that time."

"Most of the replies at that time were from upperclassmen."

"But there was only one classmate who replied. His reply at that time was like this: [Did you also get 100,000 points?]."

"Whether it was noticing the existence of the school forum, or suspecting the value of the points I possessed, both left an impression on me."

"And when I clicked on his information, it showed Hikigaya Hachiman of Class D of Grade 1." Sakayanagi said.

In other words, she paid attention to Hachiman's reply and then judged his insight to be keen?

Indeed.

If you have such a sharp subordinate, it would indeed be very convenient as a superior.

So now, willing to pay 100,000 points per month to keep an informant, she must feel that the other party is worth the price... What the heck?

Hachiman increasingly felt that Sakayanagi Arisu was bluffing.

Because.

Since Sakayanagi had obtained some information about the school, she should also know that Class D was the worst.

Throughout the school's history, Class D had never once defeated Class A.

So, for the strongest Class to have an informant in Class D out of caution is completely unnecessary.

"Just to ask, have you also placed spies in Class B and Class C?" Hachiman asked.

"Not yet." Sakayanagi said, "Not everyone can be 'kept' by me."

Oh.

I see.

Then it's false.

You really just want to play.

Because as an excellent representative of Class A, the first thing to consider would definitely be to plant a mole in Class B, which needs attention.

And not to look for a student from Class D.

"Can you wait a moment?" Hachiman said.

"Hmm?" Sakayanagi blinked lightly.

"You are completely new to me." Hachiman said, "I want to consult someone else."

Saying this, Hachiman took out his phone and opened the Class group.

Hmm.

He opened Kushida Kikyo's profile picture.

He didn't have her number, but he could find her in the Class group.

And Kushida used her own photo as her profile picture. Sakayanagi glanced at it and maintained her cuteness.

"Oh." She remained calm.

But this also meant that she seemed to know Kushida Kikyo.

Speaking of which, Kushida, you're quite something.

Have you even branched out to Class A students?

Or, Kushida, are you selling his information?

Otherwise, how could Sakayanagi arrange for Kamuro to trick him into coming over?

A simple forum reply wouldn't have that much value.

Hachiman couldn't be sure.
