During the lunch break, Hikigaya was called to the back room of the school by Kaneda. "Here, here's the contract," Kaneda said, handing the contract to Hikigaya. His eyes were hesitant, and Hikigaya immediately knew what he wanted to say.
He briefly glanced at the signature of Party B on the contract, and the names of the forty people in Class C were clearly written, including Ryuen Kakeru. This contract deliberately concealed Party A's name. It wasn't necessary. The main reason was that if Ryuuen knew that the money belonged to him, he would probably cause a bit of trouble.
But actually, since Ibuki Mio signed a contract with them, the money would definitely not be returned anyway, so Ryuuen had to follow his plan.
"Thank you," Hikigaya said, neatly signing his name on Party A. After all, the contract is mainly about paying money first and then inspecting the goods. This contract is mainly used to restrict the people of Class C from violating the contract. Hikigaya readily transferred 450,000 personal points to Kaneda's account, and then Kaneda transferred the money from selling praise votes outside the class to the people in Class C.
"This…" Kaneda looked at the transfer on his phone. Even though he said he didn't need it yesterday, Hikigaya still transferred his share to him. Thinking about it, Kaneda sighed.
He patted Hikigaya on the shoulder and turned to leave. Today might be the last time he sees Hikigaya, and he will never see him again.
Hikigaya was speechless, looking at his back.
This guy was so moved yesterday, but the way he hesitated to speak today, didn't he just want to regret asking for money? Judging from this guy's attitude towards Ryuuen, Kaneda is obviously the type to be arrogant when he is proud. To put it bluntly, he is a bit of a white-eyed wolf. No matter how much benefit you get, Kaneda would probably feel that this was obtained by virtue of his own strength.
But it didn't matter to Hikigaya, since he wasn't familiar with Kaneda anyway. It's all Ryuuen's money anyway. It makes sense to use Ryuuen's money to buy Class C tickets. At best, he acts as a middleman.
It was just a matter of taking advantage of the estrangement between Ryuuen and Class C to make some profit, but the price difference might be a bit much.
After school, in the corridor outside the Class B classroom,
Hikigaya leaned against the wall, and Ichinose stood beside him like a follower, taking out his phone.
"I'm looking for Class D today, who would be the best person to talk to?" she asked. "Um," Hikigaya frowned. How did he feel about this scene? He had experienced it several times. He was indeed trapped on the same day. "Today is the last day, the exam will start tomorrow, right?" he asked.
"Yeah~"
Ichinose tilted her little head, wondering if Hikigaya had become confused.
"Forget it, I'll contact you myself tonight."
Hikigaya shook his head and stood up to leave. As if he thought of something, he turned around and said with some hesitation:
"Well...but I may have to trouble Ichinose to make time at night. I may contact you at any time."
"Eh?"
Should I contact her tonight? Ichinose's face turned red and she nodded lightly without asking any questions.
"Yeah, anytime."
"That's good."
Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief and said: "If there is no contact at ten o'clock, it means that the matter has been resolved, Ichinose, you can go to rest directly."
"Oh…"
Ichinose felt a little disappointed for some reason.
"Right."
Only then did Hikigaya remember the business: "How is the class going?"
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
"As expected of you."
Hikigaya was really confused: "Don't they have any complaints?"
After all, not only did he have things to do, Ichinose also arranged tasks.
But it was really not something commendable, so he only told Ichinose about it, and he believed that Ichinose would not tell anyone else.
However, even so, Shibata and others were able to comply without any complaints.
Honestly, this blind trust and love for Ichinose really made Hikigaya feel a little scared.
It seemed that even if Ichinose asked them to drop out of school, Amikura Mako and others would probably accept it with tears after hesitating for a while.
"No."
Speaking of this, Ichinose suddenly became even happier:
"Didn't you said that he was 70% sure? Kobashi and the others all trust you, so they agreed without asking any questions.
"Hehe..."
Hikigaya laughed dryly: "How is that possible? It's all because it was the task assigned by you, Ichinose, so they accepted it so easily."
"No."
Ichinose shook her head, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
"Maybe it's partly because of me, but they also trust you."
"How can it be?"
Hikigaya didn't like to argue with her: "Then I'll go back and see you tomorrow."
Said that, Hikigaya turned and left.
Maybe Kobashi Yume and others do have some trust in him, but most people in Class B can agree, and it must be for Ichinose's sake that they didn't ask any more questions.
You don't need to explain it to anyone, and you can get the approval of everyone under your command.
This is undoubtedly a very precious ability, and Ichinose's ability is really scary.
...
At night.
9pm.
In the dormitory, Hikigaya sat by the bed and scrolled through his phone, looking for Class D to buy out-of-class appreciation tickets.
Horikita Suzune, Kikyo Kushida, Karuizawa Kei, Sakura Airi, Hasebe Haruka.
I thought about it for a long time.
I feel like anyone I talk to about this matter should be able to succeed.
But Hikigaya still feels that Kushida Kikyo is the most suitable.
Kushida Kikyo not only possesses strong social skills, but she also holds a high status in school, and her standing in the class must be good as well. Even in Class B, there are many friends of Kushida. Moreover, guys like Chi Kanji were obviously captivated by her and had long since become Kushida's little followers. After all, such followers would not end well. If Kushida is carefully playing the role of someone who wants to be trusted, this matter is more tempting to her, and Kushida is more likely to agree.
But, It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and the other party is probably about to go to bed. When you invite a girl to your dormitory late at night, and you are alone, the chances of success are not high. The possibility of going to Keyaki Shopping Center again is also low, and it's not surprising that the other party would refuse so late.
Regardless of the relationship between Sakayanagi Arisu and Yamauchi Haruki, it is indeed true that the two have some kind of connection. It's so late. I just want to completely eliminate the possibility of Yamauchi Haruki contacting Sakayanagi. Otherwise, if Sakayanagi gets information along the way and interferes, the matter will be ruined.
Never mind. It doesn't work. I could just ask Kushida Kikyo to go to Ichinose's dormitory, or bring Ichinose to the door directly. That should be easier for her to accept, although Hikigaya just doesn't want to trouble Ichinose.
Thinking about it, Hikigaya dialed Kushida Kikyo's number and waited for a while before getting through.
"Eh, Hikki?" On the other end of the phone, Kushida's excited voice came:
"I didn't expect that a small company would contact me. I'm so happy.
The implication is that I don't contact you often, so if you contact me suddenly now, there must be something wrong, but with Kushida Kikyo's personality, it's more likely that she's just pretending to be cute.
"Excuse me," Hikigaya was a little embarrassed and said:
"Sorry for calling you so late."
"That's not the case," Kushida Kikyo's joyful voice came:
"I'm very happy to receive a call from Hikki."
Hikigaya took a deep breath and went directly to the topic:
"Um... I have something to ask you. Can we talk to me for a moment?"
"Eh? What's the matter?"
"No..."
Hikigaya picked up the contract prepared on the low table and said with some embarrassment:
"It's best if you come to my dormitory. I have something for you."
"At this time?" Kushida Kikyo's voice was slightly confused. It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and a girl is asked to go to the boys' dormitory alone. Is this guy trying to do something bad?
But thinking of that idiot Hikigaya, it seems unlikely.
"Yes," Hikigaya was a little embarrassed. It's clear that something is not very good at this point in time.
Unfortunately, there is no way. If the contract is signed now, Kushida Kikyo will definitely not be able to inform the people in the class. She can only explain it to the people in Class D before the exam tomorrow morning. That way it's foolproof. Even if Sakayanagi knew about it, she probably wouldn't be able to do anything wrong in such a short period of time. Just when Hikigaya was about to suggest going to Ichinose's room, she heard Kushida Kikyo's sweet voice.
"Okay, your dormitory is in 502, right?"
"Eh, yes..." Hikigaya was stunned for a moment and nodded, but he didn't expect to agree so easily.
"Then wait a moment. I'll be there in about five minutes."
The call was hung up by Kushida Kikyo. Even the time is so clear. This kind of waiting is really reassuring. Kushida Kikyo is indeed trustworthy.
