"Can I take a confirming photo?" Hachiman asked after sending a message to Kushida.

"No problem." Sakayanagi Arisu maintained her cuteness, "Do you need me to pose for you?"

"No need." Hachiman said, "Just enough for someone to confirm it's you."

"Is that so." Although Sakayanagi maintained a polite smile, her eyes showed some disdain.

Don't be so obvious.

Soon after.

Hachiman received a message on his phone.

It was the encyclopedia information about Sakayanagi Arisu sent by Kushida.

"Grade 1 Class A, Sakayanagi Arisu.

Height: 150cm

Zodiac sign: Pisces

She has fair skin, a cute appearance, and exquisite silver hair. However, it is said that her written exam scores were quite good when she enrolled, and she is very good at math, which everyone finds difficult.

It is just said that her legs are not agile, and her body is relatively weak, so the school has prohibited her from all physical activities.

She has attended school for a few days in the past, but due to her physical condition, she had to drop out and study at home, though she did receive corresponding lessons.

According to her, it's a rare opportunity to experience school life, and she hopes to have a different experience."

From the information summarized by Kushida, a lot of information was collected.

Although he felt Kushida wasn't smart enough, she was very strong in social networking and data collection.

However.

Sakayanagi Arisu was very smart and wouldn't tell her information for nothing.

In other words...

It could be interpreted like this: for example, Kushida probably also had some information extracted from her.

It's just that Kushida has been irritable these past two days and wouldn't want to reveal her own information.

Then... selling someone else's information becomes possible.

And among the people Kushida had been in contact with these past few days... wasn't it him?

Then connecting it to Sakayanagi specifically inviting him over... it seems it was indeed like that.

Kushida sold his information.

However, now Kushida also got Sakayanagi's information, so it wasn't too much of a loss.

However.

[According to her, it's a rare opportunity to experience school life, and she hopes to have a different experience.]

And Hachiman noticed Sakayanagi Arisu being praised and flattered by her classmates at Keyaki Mall on the day of enrollment.

Because she couldn't come to school, Sakayanagi Arisu was very eager to seize this enrollment opportunity, hoping to experience the missing school life.

However.

On the first day of school, she already became the center of attention among her classmates.

In other words, she had already reached the peak of her life from the start.

Then it was indeed... boring.

So, was she looking for something interesting?

Hey, hey, hey.

What kind of high-level game is this!

"I don't think I can accept your proposal." Hachiman said after considering, "I am, after all, a member of Class D. Something like being a spy, I don't think I can do that."

"And that's my bottom line, please understand." Hachiman said.

His words were very polite.

It was also the result of careful thought.

Sakayanagi Arisu was probably playing around, but Hachiman didn't want to mess around with her.

"Are you sure?" Sakayanagi said.

"If you stay in Class D, you won't have much living point next month."

Oh.

I see.

You certainly know a lot.

Both Teacher Chabashira and the Student Council President implicitly agreed that informing students of the school rules required a price.

In other words, it was as expected: by provoking the upperclassmen and exploiting them, Sakayanagi Arisu obtained a huge amount of point.

Through point transactions, she had mastered a complete set of school rules.

However, that statement also made him very curious.

What did she mean by "not much living point next month"?

Hachiman had thought the school wanted students of the same grade to compete as a Class unit to improve, using methods like exams, but now... Sakayanagi Arisu's attitude seemed to suggest... the exams had actually already begun.

"Perhaps so," Hachiman said. "And the Class I'm in might have made the results even worse than you expected."

"Then why don't you come over?" Sakayanagi Arisu said.

"The compensation I'm offering is already very generous."

She seemed a bit puzzled.

Because Hikigaya was not stupid and could understand what she was saying.

But why was he so stubborn?

He had clearly stated his demand: he wanted to be supported.

So Sakayanagi thought this might be a perfect match.

"Because your so-called 'eye-for-hire' is just a whim," Hachiman said. "You're not really interested in Class competition or maintaining Class A's position, are you?"

"Heh heh..."

This remark made Sakayanagi of Class A laugh.

She was quite cute, and her smile was bright and charming.

However.

"You're right," Sakayanagi said. "I'm indeed not interested in Class battles."

"Because it's so boring."

"I thought this school would give me a new experience, but after actually experiencing it, it's nothing special."

Nothing special, huh...

What an arrogant statement.

Hachiman confirmed it.

Although Sakayanagi Arisu looked frail, this girl's offensive power was quite strong.

If he had to describe her, he could call her a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

But she hadn't grown up yet, so perhaps she was a small Tyrannosaurus Rex or a young Tyrannosaurus Rex.

"To be honest, I haven't experienced school life, and I hoped to encounter some interesting things here, but it's very boring."

"So."

Sakayanagi Arisu said, "Hikigaya, can you understand this feeling?"

Understand this feeling?

Of course... he didn't understand.

Because what was so bad about this school?

It was tuition-free, and if you did well, you could save money to leave.

For someone like him, who didn't want to work hard, it was simply perfect.

But Sakayanagi Arisu had a huge amount of point from the start, yet still found it uninteresting.

In other words, Sakayanagi Arisu was indeed a young lady, wasn't she?

She wasn't short on money at all.

She came here to play.

Damn rich loli.

"Since you're so uninteresting, do you want to experience a small shock from Class D?" Hachiman said.

"And the price is, I want to get the information about this school that you know."

"..."

"..." Sakayanagi Arisu.

Sakayanagi seemed to ponder for a moment.

"How much do you know about this school?" she said.

"Roughly, that point are supreme, you can buy anything with point, you can buy unknown information, the school won't do charity, students' living point can't be provided for free, but rather students of the same grade compete as a Class unit to acquire resources. And the initial Class assignments were also unfair. Class A students have the highest quality, and Class D was probably treated as a dump," Hachiman said.

"..."

"..." Sakayanagi Arisu.

You know quite a lot, don't you?

"Alright," Sakayanagi gently moved her cat-like cherry lips, revealing a cunning, polite smile, "Let me experience your so-called [small shoc from Class D."

And then.

Sakayanagi Arisu felt... despair.

Class D's terrible students, hateful, villains, Hikigaya Hachiman!

....

Sakayanagi Arisu had never experienced school life, so she had high hopes for Advanced Nurturing High School.

But on her very first day of enrollment, she provoked an upperclassman, obtained point from them, and then purchased the true nature of this school from her Teacher.

She then discovered that she had been assigned to the most excellent Class.

She even gained the support of some students in her Class.

Suddenly, her life was at its peak.

And the Class competition in the school, which should have been lively with four Classes competing together, would also become very lively.

However, the basic quality of Class A students was very strong.

She couldn't even find a few bad students.

So all their stats were very high.

That meant they were fully equipped.

Then wouldn't the other Classes just be a bunch of misfits?

Even Class B was just a flock of sheep.

So how could they lose?

In other words, she had already seen the graduation results on the first day of enrollment.

So for her, so-called school life was nothing special.

The greater her expectations for school life at this school, the greater her disappointment now.

But she had also promised her father that she would not drop out midway, so she was currently in a state of boredom.

And now.

Class D of Grade 1, Hikigaya, can you bring her some fun?

"Yes."

Sakayanagi Arisu agreed to Hachiman's gamble.

Intelligent as she was, she already understood that Hachiman seemed to want to obtain information about this school from her [for free], information that would cost 2 million point to buy from the Teacher.

In other words, this guy was outrageous.

He wanted a free ride.

However.

According to Kushida, this Hikigaya had all sorts of dark pasts, but his insight was extremely keen, and furthermore, he was not being fake, but rather...

So Sakayanagi was a little bit expectant.

As she thought this, she saw Hachiman walk towards her.

"To ensure honesty, can you hand over your phone first?" Hachiman said.

Oh.

He was worried she would record him.

Indeed.

Although this school aimed to cultivate talent, it wasn't a completely righteous school, so it also allowed the use of some underhanded tactics.

And this was to adapt to the [flexibility] of society.

Sakayanagi was very lenient today because she wasn't recording.

Otherwise, if Hikigaya showed even a hint of agreeing to be her spy, then she would be the one getting a free ride.

With a recording of him betraying his Class, she could directly withhold point from him.

But he didn't fall for it.

He refused her patronage.

Thinking this.

Sakayanagi Arisu took out her white-cased phone and placed it on the chair.

"You also have to put your phone down," Sakayanagi said.

"Okay." Hachiman nodded.

He also placed his phone at the other end of the bench.

Then, as if still uneasy, he looked at Sakayanagi's phone.

"You're not recording or on a call with anyone, are you?"

Sakayanagi's phone screen was dark, but it was hard to guarantee that no other operations were being performed.

"No," Sakayanagi said.

She picked up her phone and pressed the fingerprint unlock with her left thumb.

The screen showed that no applications were running.

"So, Hikigaya, what kind of shock do you want Class D to demonstrate? Is it that a trashy Class D can still achieve an upset? But something like that has never happened in this school before," Sakayanagi said.

"Regarding that," Hachiman-kun seemed to be setting up a cliffhanger, "I think you already know what the overall quality of students in my Class D is like."

Hachiman took her phone, intending to place it on the other end of the chair.

But his movement paused.

However, he explained, "It's very bad, right? So, normally, the living expenses for next month will be very little."

Oh.

Sakayanagi nodded; that was indeed the case.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing?" Sakayanagi Arisu finally realized something was wrong.

Because Hachiman not only took her phone but also her cane.

At the same time, his fingers were operating her phone.

"It's nothing major," Hachiman said.

"Just sending Kamuro a message telling her to go eat first."

?

"…" Sakayanagi Arisu.

Uh.

Eh.

Ah.

"You don't have other intentions, do you?" Sakayanagi's smile seemed to be faltering.

"Sakayanagi," but Hachiman-kun showed no mercy.

He displayed the message dialogue box.

[You worked hard today, and it was my fault for making you sacrifice yourself to invite a boy. So I've given you some free time. You can rest.]

[But please wait for me at the Library at 13:10 this afternoon. I have a book to borrow.]

The above was the content Hachiman typed.

But now…

It was truly cruel.

Because Sakayanagi Arisu clearly saw that after receiving this message, Kamuro replied.

[Tch! If you already know, then don't arrange for me to do these troublesome things!]

Although it was just text, one could imagine Kamuro's mood.

[I'll be waiting at the Library entrance at 13:10.]

The subsequent message seemed to indicate that Kamuro had no doubt that Hachiman had used Sakayanagi's phone to send her the message.

So she didn't realize it wasn't the person herself.

And the worst part was that Sakayanagi heard footsteps, but those footsteps were getting further and further away.

This meant that Kamuro, who had been guarding the fifth-floor stairwell like a puppy, had left.

Kamuro had been sent away.

"…" Sakayanagi.

"And Sakayanagi, you find school life quite boring, don't you?" Hachiman said.

"So I've decided to give you a little bit of excitement."

A little bit of excitement?

She did think this school was nothing special, without much excitement.

But what you're giving her now isn't excitement, it's terror.

Smart as she was, she immediately understood Hachiman's actions.

Taking her phone was to send Kamuro away.

And taking her cane also made her unable to move.

This was the Rooftop, spacious and with good air.

However…

It was lunchtime, meaning the sun was out.

And where she was currently sitting was shaded, but another bench nearby was full of sunlight.

Just looking at it made one feel… a bit hot.

And if her frail body were thrown there, she definitely wouldn't be able to endure it.

So if she were exposed to the sun… if she were exposed to the sun…

Thinking this.

She found Hikigaya standing before her.

And he said.

"As you can see, Class D is treated like a garbage dump, and the quality of Class D students is hard to estimate."

Uh.

Hard to estimate… does that mean there's no bottom line… meaning shameless?

However.

"Hikigaya…"

Sakayanagi Arisu stared at him.

Seemingly wanting to awaken his sympathy, his empathy.

However.

Hachiman's two hands reached out, one placed behind her back, the other directly passing under her knees.

Thump.

Before she could react, Sakayanagi Arisu found herself being lifted up.

Then she was carried forward.

And the direction… was towards the sunny bench.

Was he really going to take her to that bench that would be directly exposed to the sun?

Hey, hey, hey.

Are you really that sick?

Hikigaya-kun!

The students of Class D are truly terrible!

...
