After school, in the Sheep Shearing department.
"That..."
Looking at the three girls in front of him, Hikigaya was a little confused.
"Why are you here? Where is Ichinose?"
"Eh?"
Amikura Mako, who was sitting opposite, was a little confused. "Honami-chan is still in the student union. Has You forgotten?"
"Indeed..."
Hikigaya nodded awkwardly. Now, in addition to exams, Ichinose also has student union work to do. No wonder Amikura Mako and others come so frequently.
"Correct."
Kobashi Yume was a little curious and asked, "Hikki, what project do you plan to participate in this exam?"
"I should just take the Japanese test," Hikigaya responded casually. Apart from Japanese, I really can't think of anything else I'm good at. Although English is fine, there is no shortage of students in Class B who are good at English.
It will probably be the main force in Japanese. Then, I will serve as a substitute for the English test and the History test. Just now, Ichinose has sent back the contact, and the class that Class B is fighting this time is Class C. With Ichinose's strength, he could easily deal with Kaneda. There should be no chance of appearing.
"Eh?" Kobashi Yume said with a somewhat disappointed tone. "Isn't that too wasteful? I feel that no matter what project Hikki participates in, they can always think of a way to win."
"Yes," Amikura Mako also nodded in agreement.
"If I were Honami-chan, I would definitely put Hikki at the main project of Class C!"
Strictly speaking, the difference is only a few points. Class B also has no shortage of people who are good at Japanese. Putting an ace like Hikigaya on Class C's main event may be able to maximize its advantages.
Himeno Yuki's eyes were filled with resentment. Ever since the Ichinose rumors began, I felt that there was something wrong with the way Kobashi Yume and Amikura Mako looked at Hikigaya. Maybe they didn't even notice it themselves.
There was nothing she could do about it, even she didn't expect Hikigaya to be so outstanding.
But, Himeno Yuki is not very worried. She knows better how awkward Hikigaya's personality is. Whether it's Kobashi Yume, Amikura Mako, or Sakura Airi from Class D, trying to win Hikigaya is simply a dream.
"That..."
Hikigaya was a little helpless and quickly explained, "I can only be considered a little clever at best. Don't have high expectations for me." This is probably how Ichinose feels. To be trusted by these lovely guys. It doesn't feel bad. It's really frustrating and a bit of a headache.
But Hikigaya knows his own strength. Just like this selection project exam. Apart from Japanese, there is basically nothing I am good at. It is indeed a headache to be held up to such high expectations, and in the end, it will only disappoint the other party.
"Really, Hikki you are doing it again~"
It's a pity. Kobashi Yume and others did not listen to others people. The admiration in her eyes did not diminish at all. Amikura Mako even had a smile on her face. Hikki was always so calm, humble, and reassuring, completely different from ordinary high school students. A few people started chatting until the club time was over.
"Is it over yet?" Kobashi Yume looked at the time and felt helpless. She obviously wanted to chat with everyone for a while longer, so she said with some reluctance,
"Then let's go back together."
"No, I have something else to do."
"Eh??"
"It's about the exam. Ichinose seems to have something to say to me."
"I see, then we will go back first~"
"Oh!" Hikigaya locked the club door, raised his hand, and turned to leave.
He hasn't forgotten it yet.
Ichinose asked him to meet behind the teaching building after club time. But let's be honest. Faced with such an exam, Hikigaya really can't offer any more effective advice.
Strictly speaking, with Class C as their opponent, Class B already has an advantage in terms of academic ability. The most they can do is take advantage of Shibata's personal strength. There seemed to be no difference, Ichinose could only be disappointed. The main thing is, except for Shibata, he knew nothing about the rest of the class, let alone what they were good at.
I really can't make any valid comments. And on the other side, as the club time ends, the student union also ends its ten days of work.
"Honami," Nagumo Miyabi sat on the main seat, looking at Ichinose who was packing things with a hearty fake smile on his face and said,
"You seem a little absent-minded today. Is there something on your mind? Or is it about the first-year special exam?"
"Eh? Let's just leave it at that." Ichinose's face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed, then she picked up her shoulder bag and bowed slightly,
"Then I will go back today, President Nagumo, see you tomorrow."
"Well, thank you for your hard work!"
Nagumo Miyabi nodded with a smile on her face and watched Ichinose leave the student union room briskly.
"Ichinose's opponent this time seems to be Class C." A boy also walked up to Nagumo Miyabi and said with some confusion,
"She shouldn't care too much, right?"
"Who knows..." Nagumo Miyabi leaned on the boss's chair and sighed,
"It's rare to find someone as serious and kind as Ichinose. He would have been a good toy, but it's a pity."
"Chairman Nagumo," the boy frowned and said displeasedly,
"I think it's inappropriate for you, as the president of the student union, to say something like this?"
"Ha ha,"
He smiled nonchalantly and said,
"You don't need to worry about the little things. Once you lose it, you lose it. I'm not a bad person who will rob other people of their favorite things."
"But..."
Nagumo Miyabi sat up. He leaned his elbows on the table, clasped the fingers of his hands, and said with a smile,
"I really didn't expect that Class B would pass that unreasonable exam in this way. It seems that Hikigaya-san really exceeded my expectations.
"Kiriyama, who do you think is stronger, Hikigaya or Ayanokouji?"
"Um?" Kiriyama frowned and said,
"I can understand Hikigaya. His method is indeed unexpected, but why does Ayanokouji's name appear?"
"Well, forget it if you don't know... and."
He looked at the president in front of him with some displeasure and said,
"No matter which of the two is stronger, this is a first-year matter. As a senior, you should not interfere too much in the exams of the juniors."
"How harsh," he smiled nonchalantly and said,
"I just like your unruly look. I really hope you can give me different expectations, Kiriyama."
"Well," he said calmly,
"I really hope you can restrain your strong competitive spirit."
"Yes," he continued,
"Horikita-senpai will graduate soon. I really hope that a different strong person can bring me new fun. Nagumo Miyabi suddenly felt a little melancholy, but she had no intention of restraining herself. Whether it's Ayanokouji or Hikigaya, the weak never have the right to choose. Want to live a peaceful life? That's not up to them!"
On the other side, after leaving the student union room, Ichinose hurriedly walked away from the teaching building. She had made an appointment with Hikigaya.
Thinking about it, Ichinose's steps were light and her heart was pounding. She was very clear. If there was no suitable reason, Hikigaya would probably find it difficult to agree to meet alone, and might instead want to go back to the dormitory. She had just found an excuse to take a special exam yesterday.
However, she was definitely in love with Hikigaya!
After approaching the school building, Ichinose took a deep breath and stopped quickly. She took out a small mirror to straighten her hair, quickly put on perfume, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth unconsciously. Ichinose covered her heart. She could no longer hold back the thoughts that were about to come out.
Since you like the him,
of course, you have to say it well!
