Chapter 29 - Chapter 28

On Tuesday, I opened my eyes slightly as the morning sun came through the window. I'm still a little sleepy, and I haven't heard any sounds from the kitchen, so I guess I woke up earlier than usual.

With that in mind, I looked around.

Wall clock showing 5 o'clock

The morning sun shining faintly through the window.

Hiyori hugs my right arm and is completely spoiled.

Sakayanagi hugs my left arm and entwines our legs.

...yeah? Wait, wasn't there something I didn't recognize just now?

After rubbing my eyes, I looked at my left arm and saw Sakayanagi sleeping, hugging my left arm and intertwining her leg with mine.

"The fuck?!"

I couldn't help but cry out at this unexpected turn of events.

(Huh? Seriously, what's the point?! It's true that Sakayanagi comes to stay in my room sometimes!)

However, at that time I had contacted her in advance, but this time I did not receive any contact, and it was just me and Hiyori who were on the bed before going to sleep.

Judging from that, Sakayanagi must have come into my room and climbed into my bed while I was sleeping.

But why? Sakayanagi sometimes acts bluntly, but her coming aboard without an appointment is completely unexpected.

"No..."

As I looked at her with a question mark, Sakayanagi's eyes slightly opened, perhaps because I had shouted.

Then, when she rubbed her eyes and looked around, her eyes met mine and she gave me a captivating expression.

"...Good morning, Hachiman-kun. Yesterday was our first time together and it was intense, but it felt good, right?"

"Eh?!"

Sakayanagi's comment makes me scream again.

The content of Sakayanagi's story just now... No, no, that's definitely not the case, right?

I assume Sakayanagi is joking and talking to her.

"Um...by the way, what are you talking about?"

"What are you talking about... Hachiman-kun has a very bad personality for saying that after taking my virginity last night?"

Taking her virginity last night?!

Did I cross the line with Sakayanagi...!

"You're lying. Your clothes aren't ruined, and to begin with, the bed doesn't smell like semen."

I could read this much about anything.

At first I was nervous, but when I calmed down and looked around, it was obvious that I had not touched Sakayanagi.

When I questioned Sakayanagi, she chuckled and nodded.

"That's correct. I thought it would take you a little while"

"Even I can understand that much, okay? So, Why did you come to my room early in the morning in casual clothes?"

That's the most important thing. Sakayanagi often comes to my house, but is this the first time she's come without an appointment?

"Well...because I wanted to sleep with Hachiman-kun."

Sakayanagi said some horrible things!

That word makes me feel embarrassed.

Hiyori's natural remarks are dangerous, but Sakayanagi's targeted remarks are equally dangerous. If the two were mixed together, it would cause an uproar.

"I understand. But if that's the case, please contact me in advance like you did when you stayed here last time."

"I'm sorry about that. But I just wanted to surprise Hachiman-kun."

Then don't climb into someone's bed.

Or rather, Hachiman-kun, you started calling me by name before I knew it.

"I'll forgive you, but next time you should contact me. If I come on board while you're sleeping, you'll be surprised and embarrassed when you wake up, right?"

"Well, that's true. But Hachiman-kun was also the one who made me feel embarrassed."

"Huh? I don't think I've humiliated you lately."

When Sakayanagi teases me a lot, I humiliate myself by blowing on her ears and neck as a counterattack, but I don't remember doing that in the past week.

Then Sakayanagi blushed, which was rare. Sakayanagi's mouth opens while I was confused by Sakayanagi's unexpected appearance.

"yesterday..."

"Yesterday? What?"

"Yesterday, you told Ryūen-kun that you loved me a lot, right? I was embarrassed when I saw that exchange."

Crap? Did you see the interaction with Ryuen yesterday?

What did I say then? Well, I'm sure...

Impolite. I don't look down on all kinds of beings like you do. I don't care about Hiyori or Sakayanagi because they're more , and if it's just a conflict between classes, I won't intervene...but if you hurt Sakayanagi's dignity, I 'll destroy you.

Recently, I have come to realize that Sakayanagi is important.

...…Wow. Looking back, I said some pretty embarrassing things.

"...It was really embarrassing, I apologise."

"Seriously, it's okay."

If I were in Sakayanagi's position, I would have felt quite embarrassed and had no choice but to apologize.

I'm seriously dying...

"...Are you remorseful?"

"I'm doing it"

"Then please call me by my name from now on."

What? What is this girl saying all of a sudden?

"If possible, that's okay. If you don't like it, I can't help it. When I get to the classroom, I'll just talk to my classmate and say,  'I spent the night with Hachiman-kun, but he hasn't called me by my name...''

"I-I understand. Arisu. Is this okay? "

"Yes. Thank you, Hachiman-kun."

This bastard, what horrible things are you saying?

Moreover, she didn't say she was raped, but that I spent the night with her, so it's a bad idea.

The school won't punish me because I didn't actually mess with her, but the rumors that are already spreading throughout the school will become even bigger.

But seriously, can we erase the rumors about dating? Ichinose and Kamuro deny it when asked about it, but Hiyori fidgets and Arisu says suggestive things, so the rumors never go away.

Furthermore, if I call her Arisu by name, the rumors will get even bigger...

Okay, there's nothing I can do about it, so I'll give up.

Let's face the reality that it's already too late.

As I was thinking this, Hiyori, who was on the other side of Arisu, also woke up.

"Hmm... Huh? Why is Sakayanagi-san here?"

"Good morning, Shiina-san. I came over in the middle of the night because I missed Hachiman-kun's warmth."

"Ah, I see. Then I guess it can't be helped."

It can not be helped? You can't say things with a straight face!

I don't know if Hiyori is natural or if I'm weird.

"Now then, Hachiman-kun. Please."

While saying this, Hiyori asks for a good morning kiss like she always does, but will she do it in front of Arisu?!

Hiyori sticks out her forehead. Apparently, Hiyori doesn't care if Arisu sees her.

"...Good morning, Hiyori."

Having made that decision, I let out a sigh and gently kissed Hiyori's forehead.

"Oh dear"

Arisu didn't expect this either, so her eyes widened and she covered her mouth with her hand.

"Yes. Good morning, Hachiman-kun."

After Hiyori says that, she kisses me back on the forehead. I'm used to this kind of interaction, but it's really embarrassing to do it in the presence of a third party.

"I'm going to make breakfast. Is bread okay with Sakayanagi-san?"

"Yes. Thank you for going out of your way."

"No. There's still time, so please go to sleep."

Hiyori said as she got out of bed and headed to the kitchen. Arisu, on the other hand, looks at me.

"Shiina-san has really become your wife."

"Don't say that."

Or rather, you could say they are living together.

Lately, even though I've given permission, she's been bringing in clothes and underwear.

"I'm jealous that you're such good friends. So..."

"So?"

"...No. It's nothing."

Arisu blushed and turned away. I was stunned by Arisu's unexpected attitude, even as I listened to the sounds coming from the kitchen.

______________

"Well, today is finally the day of deliberation. Who will be from Class D?"

While I was eating breakfast, Arisu asked me such a question. For example, up to two people are allowed to accompany you during the deliberations.

"I don't have any proof, but I think Horikita will appear. The rest will probably be Hirata, Kushida, and Ayanokoji."

Since they're going to be sharing their opinions with each other, it's only natural that Horikita, who is aggressive, should participate.

In that case, Hirata, Kushida, and Ayanokoji, who is always with Horikita, are candidates to play Horikita's restrainer.

"There are only three people involved, probably from C-class."

"Isn't Ryuen going to appear?"

"As far as I know, it doesn't seem like he will come out. Well, I don't know what they're thinking behind the scenes."

Hiyori says so, but if Ryuen comes out, the D class will most likely be completely defeated. I talked to Ichinose before, and it seems like he was biting her behind the scenes when Class B and Class C were about to quarrel.

"In that case, the C-class will fight using their injuries as weapons. By the way, Hachiman-kun, if you were to fight against the C-class, how would you fight?"

If I were to participate in the deliberations...

"For the time being, this case is a trap set by the C-class, so there is no chance that the D-class will win."

According to Hiyori, one of the victims, Ishizaki, seems to be quite picky.

The remaining two are also members of the basketball club and seem to be in good shape.

I know that Sudo is physically strong, but I don't think he can take on three people without getting hurt, so this case is a trap set by C-class.

If you look at Sudo's usual behavior before that, he wouldn't do the smart thing of calling you to a place where there are no surveillance cameras, and he'd brazenly punch you even in public places.

"If I'm going to fight for Class D, I'll leave the search for witnesses to others and thoroughly investigate the three victims. If I investigate thoroughly, there's a good chance I'll be able to find out information about their bad history from middle school."

"Are you going to blurt it out during deliberations, attack it aggressively, and expose the other party's lies?"

Arisu followed my words midway through, but it was the correct answer.

As for the three victims, it was posted on the school's internet that Ishizaki was quite the badass in middle school, so if you dig into that, there's a chance you'll find some contradictions.

"However, it is true that Sudo punched him and caused the injury, so it would be impossible to completely acquit him."

This is simply impossible. Even if the other side's lies could be uncovered through deliberation, it is still true that Sudo became violent.

At best, be very careful.

"Well, normally that would be the case. By the way, how would you fight if you were in the C-class position?"

If you're in the C class's shoes, it's even easier.

"It's already been decided. Just ask someone else to provoke Sudo and make him go wild again."

Sudo gets angry when provoked, and has a short temper to the point where he even kicks the desk in the classroom, so I am confident that he can be expelled easily.

"Well, that's number one."

"But Hachiman-kun. If that's the case, I think Ryuen-kun is doing it."

Hiyori asks such a question. It's true that with Ryuen's personality, I can't imagine that he wouldn't come up with the idea I mentioned.

"Perhaps from Ryūen-kun's point of view, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose? If you win and Sudo-kun is punished, you'll know the penalty, and even if you lose, you'll know who the smartest person in Class D is."

That line is certainly possible.

"But it's a shame that we can't hear the contents."

"Well, we can't do much about this. Instead, let's eat breakfast."

It would be a waste to let Hiyori's rice cool.

After those words, we resumed eating. To be honest, from Ryūen's point of view, it might be fine whether he wins or loses...

(From my point of view, whether I win or lose, there is nothing but loss...)

If Class D wins, Sudo will continue to harm class in the future, and if Class C wins, the class points will be forfeited and there is a high possibility that the class members will come after me.

The reason I'm a D class. Perhaps the request from the service club or Hiratsuka-sensei interfered with the report, and the interviewer decided that I was going to D class.

I was seriously joking, and all I could do was poison the Plague god outside of the school.
