Chapter Text
Manabu Horikita is really stingy.
After the so-called lecture, he turned around and left without giving anyone a single chance to refuse.
It's just that even though he left, but Horikita's sister is still there.
Everyone in the class saw the aloof Horikita, but now Hachiman saw her, squatting on the edge of the small flower garden next to the vending machine after her brother left.
Feeling extremely disappointed. But sitting there, with the knees of her legs tightly closed, he could only see the black stockings and nothing else.
Of course, Hachiman didn't mean to go see anything further. Just a nice observation.
He just felt that Horikita was still very ladylike even though she was in a really bad mood.
"Beep!"
"Boom!" Because there is a vending machine here, Hachiman spent 200 points to buy a bottle of tomato juice.
Then he handed it to this pitiful girl.
"..." Suzune. "How much?"
'Wow. This person, she really has no friends!
Hachiman now somewhat understood her brother's feelings. It was very dangerous for this sister to be assigned to Class D, and it would be more violating if she was expelled like this, into society.
Manabu had to study in a closed school, so he could no longer pay attention to his sister.
Instead of doing this, it's better to put her where he can monitor her actions.
"Your brother has a very strong attitude," So, Hachiman also started lecturing her, "But I think it's better for you to listen to him in some areas."
"You want me to get close to you and then look for your weaknesses?" Suzune asked with a weird look on her face.
"..." 'Of course, it's not that, you idiot?!'
'Although it is a good thing to have the attention of beautiful girls, both you and Kushida are dangerous people'
Hachiman didn't want to get into any kind of trouble.
"According to the president, your biggest problem is probably due to communication.” Just guide her a little and his part-time job will be over.
"You obviously have strength, but can't cooperate with others. A person's strength is limited, but if you learn to work together, you can gain more power."
"So, is there anything wrong with being alone?" Suzune couldn't help but ask this question. 'Why do I need to change? Wasn't the motto, to love yourself and not change for anyone?'
'Is it wrong to be alone?' She was really confused. Suzune doesn't think it's her fault to not pay attention to any kind of people.
"..." This topic also made Hachiman silent for a moment. Because. 'Is it really that bad to be alone?'
Really strong people don't live in groups.
'Lonely people are always opposed to everything in this world' Only weak people like to form a group.
And the problem is that most people are weak. So, this theory probably doesn't work for Horikita Suzune.
Because she is not a strong person.
'How much money is taken from people and how much labor is paid?'
This is Hachiman's rule. He had already seen his father working like a complete beast!
Therefore, Horikita's brother only paid a price of 100,000, so he could only ask Hachiman to arrange for his sister to return to the dormitory, and he went to the railing which was not very far away.
_______
Yesterday, Chabashira-sensei made an appointment with him, and then she waited alone at the railing for a while.
And today, it was he who took the initiative to invite her.
About 15 minutes. Chabashira Sae came over.
This teacher is still wearing a single ponytail women's suit, paired with a short skirt and stockings... 'Oh no, she is not wearing stockings anymore, they are so white'
Chabashira was still wearing high heels, but the rhythm was quite brisk.
With his back against the railing and facing her direction, Hachiman had a clear view of her posture.
'Well, Sensei seems to be in a good mood' The main reason was that he reported to her about collecting information about Horikita Suzune and found out that she was the sister of the student council president Horikita Manabu.
And now, Chabashira-sensei is in a good mood... Hachiman has further confirmed that he is dancing with wolves.
'I'm afraid it's false to ask me to collect students information to assist this class teacher'
Instead, it was to ask him to get in touch with valuable problem children in Class D.
'You're just looking for usable soldiers in the trash' Hachiman realised that
Chabashira-sensei, is really brave.
"This is a point card worth 200,000 points."
“I will record Horikita Suzune's information in the file this time."
Oh. For now, Hachiman will just listen to it as if it's true. But he still accepted the point card handed over by Chabashira honestly.
After all, there is no need to reject money for doing hard labour.
If Chabashira-sensei is really ambitious, then it is the problem of these valuable children in Class D.
'If these people can really lead the class to fight against other classes,
then as a member of Class D, there is nothing wrong with taking a ride, right?' Hachiman doesn't think, there's anything wrong with this kind of thinking.
After all, no one wants too little living expenses.
"Then I'll go back first." He didn't want to say much.
After more than half an hour, his stomach was no longer bloated, and he could go back to sleep now.
Chabashira, however, did not leave immediately. She stared at Hachiman's back.
Horikita Suzune is the younger sister of the Student council president Horikita Manabu.
This school gives students considerable freedom, so the student president also has higher authority than the outside world.
Even faculty members have to greet the student president when they see him.
And Manabu Horikita is the best student council president since the school was founded.
Even in his class, he is outstanding, and the type of person who has led 39 classmates, which are lagging behind.
He's a tough guy. Then, while checking the files of the students in the class, Chabashira noticed Horikita Suzune, whose appearance was 40% similar to that of the president, and both had the same surname: Horikita.
'So, is it possible there are other relationships?' She just speculated it, and then asked Hachiman to confirm it.
'Hikigaya is such a treasure'
_________
So Hikigaya, who is really a treasure, went to class as usual the next day.
The teachers are still as relaxed as ever. Classroom discipline is quite loose.
Soon, the third class of the morning ended. There is only the last physics class left in the morning.
The student's interest is still the same.
Today is the third day, but everyone's desire to buy has not been eliminated.
Before the lunch break, there are students thinking about what expensive set menu to eat in the cafeteria and where to go shopping in the evening.
Well. Hachiman stretched.
And he noticed that the black-haired beauty sitting next to him, Suzune Horikita, was turning her body slightly, and then looking at him with bright eyes.
The eyes were so big that they even reflected his figure.
But.
Hey Hey hey. Horikita-san, you can't see my weakness like this!
'Your brother wants you to learn flexible interpersonal relationships, not really to find my weaknesses, you know?' Hachiman complained in his heart.
When Horikita Suzune came to the classroom today, she maintained this attitude the whole day.
But luckily, Horikita-san is aloof and cold, and everyone in the class, including Kushida-san, felt that she was difficult to get along with after hitting a wall.
So, when people found Horikita-san staring at Hachiman, they didn't feel that he was being noticed by a super beautiful girl, but that he had provoked Horikita-san.
That's why he was being retaliated by the other party.
As such, Hachiman received a lot of sympathetic looks today.
While he was thinking about how to get Horikita to stop paying attention to him, a boy's voice came from outside the door.
It was one of the male participants in the previous class's ranking of beautiful girls - Ike Kanji.
"A girl is looking for you!" The other party showed a somewhat envious expression.
Girl? He knows very few girls. And the only known girls now...
Hachiman then looked at the little angel Kushida with short blond hair who was walking out of the front door of the classroom.
Kushida Kikyo also turned around. The two made eye contact. She have a small smile and left with her companions.
'I didn't pay attention to you just now, Kushida-san. I am harmless, so please don't be so concerned about me anymore.'
And deskmate Horikita from the same junior high school you care about is staring at me today, but it's not my wish!
'So, please don't misunderstand okay?'
Even though Hachiman sighed in his heart, he came to the back door of the classroom.
He saw a tall girl with purple hair, her legs were long and she was wearing black socks.
As for the characteristic, it is probably that there are two hairpins in the hair. It seemed that she saw Hachiman arriving.
"Are you Hikigaya Hachiman?" the other party said.
"Yeah." Hachiman nodded. "Hikigaya, Class D, first grade."
However, when listening to his response, the tall purple-haired girl's eyes seemed to change.
Somewhat surprised.
'Hey, hey, why are you surprised? Aren't you obviously looking for me?'
Wait a moment.
Hachiman had flashbacks of the TV series he had watched before... Immortal Jump.
...
It refers to falling into a pit dug by others in advance and then raking it over.
Eventually got tricked.
And this is quite an excessive move, so why does the girl with long purple hair in front of him make, Hachiman feel this way?
Because, since she came here specifically to find him, how about not knowing him at all?
Like what was arranged to confirm the target.
But. "I am Kamuro Masumi from Class A, first grade." said the purple-haired girl.
"I hope you can go to the rooftop during your lunch break." That's what she said.
"Please come by all means. If you don't come, then I will keep waiting, even if you miss the afternoon class!"
With that said, the girl with long purple hair seemed to finally realize that she was a little embarrassed, and then quickly turned around and trotted away.
But the impact left behind is huge.
"Eh!"
"Shh-
"Pay attention and eat melon on the side!"
"It turned out to be a melon!"
There was actually a girl who took the initiative to find Hikigaya in the class, and looked like she was determined to wait for him.
And this kind of thing... Confession.
It must be a confession!
As a high school student, most of the students are interested in the topic of love.
But. "If it's a girl from another class who confesses her love, it should be someone like Hirata-kun." A girl from the same class with a single golden ponytail said.
OK. 'This girl, I remember your name!'
Hachiman then paid attention to the other person.
She is one of the hot girls in the class, her name is Karuizawa Kei.
(A/N: I think there's a Kanji issue in the first name, so Kei is pronounced as Megumi sometimes)
There are more common names, such as Magumi Kato and Megumin, but these all have one characteristic.
They all performed averagely at first, but in the end they turned out to be dark horses.
'And is this the case for this Karuizawa too?' But Hachiman remained calm and quickly left the corridor.
Because he knows that if he stays now, he will definitely be questioned by his classmates.
Although his presence in the class is not strong, being suddenly called out by a girl is a big topic for them.
But lunch break will come. Students began to choose to go to the cafeteria.
After the baptism of the 45-minute class, the interest of the classmates dropped.
However, there are also students who are concerned about the fact that their classmate Hikigaya was invited to the rooftop by a girl from another class during the last period.
"So, is this really a confession?" The person paying attention now is a pretty cute girl with short golden hair and beautiful facial features.
This is Kushida-san.
'Kushida, please hurry up and follow your friends to eat! Only Hachiman was busy encouraging this excited girl to go away.
"I have no impression of her," Hachiman said. "So, I think it might be the Immortal Jump."
"Yes." Kushida also nodded in bright understanding, she never had a single thought that this boy was going to be confessed, "If she really wanted to confess, her eyes will definitely not be like this.....She even seems to dislike you a little and probably thinks you are not worthy of your reputation or something."
" ..." Hachiman. 'Okay, Kushida-san please stop talking'
"Horikita was staring at me on her own, and it seems that she discovered that my Japanese is better than her.”
This is a lie, but Kushida's attention to him has increased significantly now, which is just the right time to fool her.
Horikita Suzune has been studying and studying, so if she knows that she is inferior to someone who doesn't read much, she may indeed continue to pay attention.
"Oh." Kushida nodded her head cutely, and then left with satisfaction.
'So, it's really false to say she's paying attention to me!'
Kushida, you're just paying attention to whether the fact that you and Horikita Suzune are from the same junior high school has been exposed.
'So, the biggest immortal jump is you!'
After thinking about it for a moment, Hachiman started walking up to the rooftop.
For no other reason than the girl named Masumi Kamuro, who introduced herself as Class A of the first grade.
In other words, it is the top class among the freshmen.
'As the strongest, why would you find the weakest class? Is her brain no good?'
_________
Hachiman started to go upstairs from the second floor.
Although the classrooms of four classes in one grade are all in the same teaching building.
Just because the AB class and the CD class are separated by the laboratory floor.
So, even though school has started for three days, students from both sides will not come into contact during class time.
It's just that all students stay in the same school for three years, so they may be able to see students from other classes in other public areas.
It's just that most of the time they meet, they are strangers, and rarely talk to each other.
But it's not absolute, for example, the little angel Kushida that Hachiman is familiar with.
She said she wanted to be friends with everyone, so the scope of her involvement was not just her classmates, but also other classes.
Kamuro-san who was in Class A just now came to the class looking for him.
And Kushida took the initiative to come over, probably because she knew Kamuro-san.
It shows that she is indeed very brave.
The communication skills are off the charts.
But when Hachiman passed the stairs to the laboratories on the third and fourth floors and continued to go up, he suddenly stopped.
Because he heard the sound of footsteps coming downstairs.
If you stand still and stare ahead, you will find a girl with purple hair appearing at the top of the stairs.
And this girl. Surprisingly, she was the one who came to see him in the last class.
Masumi Kamuro.
The other party's eyes were very sharp, and when he came into contact with the figure, she seemed to show a little bit of reassurance.
"It's a good thing you didn't run away," the other person said with an empty look on her face.
Then she turned around, seemingly preparing to lead the way. This is a bit surprising. Because.
'Are you worried about me running away? So, she even planned to pick me up right after class?!
But Kamuro-san was walking in front, so Hachiman quickly followed.
Because the distance is closer, and he found out that the other person feels different from the one at the classroom door.
Became more detailed. The other party has long purple hair, tied separately into a side ponytail.
What is very conspicuous is that the bangs are held up with hairpins or double hairpins.
Her facial features are not bad, or rather pretty.
Although she can't compare with the top beautiful girls like Horikita Suzune, she is still a rare beautiful girl.
But she doesn't seem to smile often and is used to keeping a straight face.
Looking at her reminds Hachiman of the scene where she looks at people with a look of disgust.
At the same time, he noticed her raised hand. It was slender and beautiful, like a painter's hand, or as if she had played the piano.
It's just that her legs are long and powerful.
They are legs that have been used frequently and exercised. There is no loose flesh at all, so she must have good athletic ability.
"Is it really a confession?" Hachiman asked tentatively.
But this kind of thing... is impossible.
From his birth to now, he has never had this kind of experience.
Not to mention that he has always believed that girls' tenderness is a lie and cannot be swayed by them at will.
"How is that possible?" But Kamuro-san responded directly. "I was just entrusted to take you there."
In other words, there is no acting at all. The so-called confession and other words are just made up to complete the task.
As a student of Class D, Hachiman already knew that he was assigned to this garbage because he was probably a abandoned son by the school.
But. Also a little curious.
That is, as a student of Class A, it stands to reason that she has received good evaluation from the school and is a proud person.
'What is their ecosystem like? The result...is it so realistic?' A gap in class status has already formed.
"That means you already have a master, right?" Hachiman pointed out some very rude things, "...It seems that you students in Class A are also working hard."
This sentence was a small revenge on Kamuro-san. In order to ask him out, she actually created a confession scandal in his class.
Hachiman could imagine that when he returned from lunch break, he would definitely be questioned by some annoying pests in the class.
And these...are what Hachiman is least good at. But this statement seemed to make Kamuro-san quite resistant.
Because this statement also means that she became the puppy of her classmate.
And this kind of thing.
"How is it possible? I, Masumi Kamuro, and that girl Sakayanagi are still even classmates."
"So it can't be a master and a dog!"
"I have never been tamed by her!"
At this time, the two of them had reached the stairs to the rooftop, and the opened door was in their front.
Maybe Kamuro-san's voice was a little too loud, but a cute voice came from the rooftop.
"Okay, Kamuro-san, I know you are very dissatisfied with me, but this is not the time to bark."
"You idiot, you have revealed too much information!"
The voice is quite cute, but the meaning of those words is not polite at all.
And Masumi Kamuro finally reacted.
"You actually tried to use me!" Kamuro-san glared at Hachiman, when she realised what an extraordinary thing just happened.
"..." Hachiman. 'It's not that I want to use you, but you are too aroused'
Hachiman gathered that Kamuro-san from Class A was probably treated as a subordinate by a student named Sakayanagi, but she didn't seem to agree with this, and carrying out the other party's orders.
Even if it is a deliberate gesture of expressing love to a strange boy, there will be consequences for doing so.
Being noticed by his classmates will also affect Kamuro-san's reputation.
As a result, even if she knows that these possibilities exist, she still carried out her orders.
'Doesn't that mean Kamuro-san, that you are an M?!'
This made Hachiman think that it would be great if the teacher of Class A was like Chabashira-sensei and was willing to give money to investigate the files.
By this time he had arrived on the rooftop. Stare ahead.
It was a lie that Kamuro-san came to invite him, but it was true that her master wanted to see him.
And the other person...is not a stranger.
Hachiman had a chance encounter with the other party.
That was the frail silver-haired girl he saw on the sofa in Keyaki mall, the day before yesterday, who was so popular among her classmates.
And now, Sakayanagi is sitting on the rest bench of the rooftop. She is indeed cute.
This girl has beautiful straight silver hair, fair skin and a cute appearance.
Then a pair of cute calves were wrapped in pure white stockings.
'Come to think of it, the sixteen students I met at that time were all wearing school uniforms.'
They were unlikely to be seniors in the upper grades, so they were freshmen from the same class.
Now their identities have been confirmed, they were students of first-year Class A.
"First time meeting you, Hikigaya-kun. I am Sakayanagi Arisu from Class A."
She gently stood up from the bench and politely made a ladylike gesture, "Although, you are from Class D but still very active."
