The long sports festival is finally coming to an end. The recommended events, the borrowed object race, the four-way tug of war, and the mixed men's and women's three-legged race, were over, and the only thing left was the 1200-meter relay.
"Now then, is this the last time?"
"Yeah. Masumi-san and Hachiman-kun, please do your best."
While doing some light stretching, I receives encouragement from Arisu...
"Honestly, I don't have any motivation. No matter how hard I try, I'm still in the D-class."
Regarding the recommendation events where you can get a lot of points, other than the borrowed items competition, the results are terrible.
This is probably also because Sudo and Horikita left.
As Koenji said, the two of them were dragging their feet, but it seems like if Koenji had been serious from the beginning, things wouldn't have ended.
In any case, even if we get first place, it's obvious that D class will be the worst in the year, so I won't be motivated.
"Well, I guess it can't be helped if you're in Hachiman's class."
"But I want to see Hachiman-kun, so please do your best."
"No, no, don't expect me to be cool, okay?"
"Why? Hachiman-kun was really nice during the borrowing competition. I was happy that he openly said I was important to him. Isn't that right, Masumi-san?"
"...Well, yeah. I was more embarrassed than that."
Arisu says this while blushing, and Masumi agrees, but this is dark history for me, so please don't say it clearly.
"Oh, that's too bad. Besides, Masumi is going."
"Yeah."
"So, hey Hey!...what are you doing?! don't just hug me in your arms all of a sudden?!"
Should a man escort a lady? That doesn't happen at the sports festival, right?
Actually, her chest is too soft.
I'm so happy, but Arisu is looking at me like absolute zero, so please move away.
While thinking about that, I was heading towards the entrance gate...
"Sorry! I'm late! What's going on now!?" Sudo and Horikita came towards us a little later.
"Sudo-kun, you came back, didn't you?" Hirata cried, his voice full of emotions.
He ran towards Sudo, trying to hug him? Is that so?
Some girls are looking here again with eyes full of curiosity. And it's not the first time I have seen them like this? What's happening?
Did I miss something? Even their eyes are sparkling!
Why?
"...It's bad. The poop took a little longer.''
Quiet.
"Booooo" Someone booed among the girls. Small voices were heard among the crowd.
"I thought something would happen."
"Yeah, I'm slightly disappointed too."
Why are you disappointed? I looked towards the owner of the voice....
It was Sato?
I am incredibly confused by these girls? What are they talking about?
I feel like the atmosphere with Sudo is a little different from what I've seen before. Did he really do it with Horikita just like Ryuen said?
Somehow, it feels like it's sunny somewhere.
However, the expression directed at Sudo was far from welcoming. Most of my classmates look at him with blank stares.
Especially from the girls area, where small voices were heard.
"It was my fault. Because I got angry, I punched Hirata and ruined the atmosphere in the class. It's my fault that we're in trouble,'' Sudo says, bowing his head deeply.
This honestly surprised me too. No one would have imagined that Sudo would do something like this.
Or rather, is that really Sudo? Isn't this the beautiful Sudo who threw himself into the woodcutter's fountain and then came out of it?
In any case, I sensed sincerity from Sudo, so my classmates didn't blame him too much.
"If you haven't decided on a replacement for the relay yet, let me run."
"Of course. There's no one else more qualified than you.'' Well, if Sudo is willing to run, there's no reason to refuse.
"Can I ask you to pinch run for me...I don't think I'll be able to achieve a satisfactory result with these legs."
"It's okay, Horikita. It seems like you've worked hard for this relay."
"I can't help it. In this state...I'm sorry."
Having said that, Horikita lowers her head, but I wonder what really happened...Did that slut do something again?
I glance at Ayanokoji, but his expression is the same as usual, so I don't really understand.
I let out a breath and averted my gaze from Ayanokoji, and it was decided that Kushida would run in Horikita's place.
Now that there were 6 of us, it was time to line up at the entrance gate. Hirata suddenly raised his hand.
"Um...I'm sorry to be sudden, but I injured my leg earlier, so is it okay if I ask someone to act for me?" What do you mean? I take a quick look at Hirata's feet, but there are no particular signs of abrasion.
Did he twist his ankle because I couldn't believe that the extremely serious Hirata would start fishing?
"Hey, can I run?'' It was Ayanokoji who said that.
This is unexpected. I didn't think this creep would appear.
The people around him were also surprised that Ayanokoji had raised his voice.
"I agree with him. I've watched everyone so far, and I think he's someone who will deliver results.''
Then Hirata, who asked to be represented, said so.
In an instant, the atmosphere of opposition disappears from around me.
"Also, the D class doesn't have the best members, so how about a strategy to get out ahead? It's a plus to be able to take the inside corner first, and I think it's better for Sudo-kun to take the lead at first.''
"...Well, it can't be helped. That's probably the only way to win."
There were no particular objections, and it was decided that Sudo would be the starter, Maezono would be second, I would be third, Onodera would be fourth, Kushida would be fifth, and Ayanokoji would be the anchor.
Once the layout was decided, we gathered on the ground. At the same time, the elite of each class gather on the ground.
There are quite a few students I recognize. There are many famous people such as Horikita Student Council President, Vice President Nagumo, Hashimoto, Masumi, Ichinose, Shibata, Kanzaki, Ryuen and Ibuki.
I'm number 3, so I move to the same place as the odd-numbered Sudo and Kushida...
"Yaho Hikigaya-kun, nice to meet you."
"You're also number 3."
"…Gah, Hikigaya."
Ichinose, Masumi, and Ibuki reacted, but the third-rank students other than me were all girls, not only the first years, but also the second and third years.
I feel really uncomfortable. There are 11 girls out of 12...
Well, as long as it's decided, I won't complain.
Also, since it's a relay race, we, who are in 3rd place, will start at different times.
As I thought about this, the first runner stood at the starting point.
Regarding the courses, the 1st year D class is the innermost one and the 3rd year A class is the outermost one.
Once the first runner starts, we, the third runners, enter the course from the waiting area. Therefore, you have to get on the course as soon as the race starts.
As it was the final event, there was a sense of tension as the race finally started.
At the same time, Sudo ran faster than anyone else. His speed was exceptional, and at the 100-meter mark, there was a difference of more than 5 meters between him and second place.
Each person runs 200 meters in this relay, so by the time Sudo passes the baton to the second runner, Maezono, he will have a lead of nearly 15 meters.
As I stood on the course thinking that...
"Wow! The king is out! "
"And one of his girlfriends is with him too! "
"Aren't they all girls except King?"
"A harem?! Is it a harem again?!"
"Could it be that all of them are King's women, and the three he prepared for the borrowing competition are the top three?'!"
"That's unfair to us boys!"
"Shut up, you virgin!"
"Yeah, don't talk bad about our king!!"
I can't help but object to the voice of the gallery.
Why does that happen just by running in the same order in a relay?! No more of these guys...
As I was sighing, Sudo passed the baton to Maezono. At the same time, Maezono starts running.
Maezono is one of the fastest girls in class D, but she pales in comparison to the boys in her upperclassmen.
In fact, the distance between them is closing little by little.
However, since it was the last event, she somehow managed to shake it off and close the distance between her and me.
When Maezono cut the distance between her and me to 5 meters, I started running slowly, and after about 5 meters...
"please!"
The baton is handed to me, so I immediately do a full sprint. It's the last event, and I don't want to look uncool in front of Arisu and the others, so I won't do anything.
"Keenoooooo! Keeong! Keeong!"
"Wooohoo! A harem king!!"
I receives very disrespectful cheers. Or rather, why are you rooting for both the red team and the white team?
Although I was disappointed in my heart, I sped up even more, and after about 100 meters, as I rounded a corner, I looked behind me and saw that I was gradually opening up a distance to second place.
At this pace, I should be able to create a lead of nearly 10 meters by the time I pass the baton to the fourth runner, Onodera.
That's what I was thinking as I was running down the final straight line.
"Please do your best, Hachiman-kun."
Arisu, who is in the front row of the A-class camp, cheers me on. Once you understand this, your legs will mysteriously become lighter and you will become even faster.
Then, I passed the baton to Onodera while maintaining first place, and having completed my role, I veered off course.
Then, as I sit on the ground, the third runner in the second-year A class passes the baton to the fourth runner.
The difference between 1st and 2nd place is about 10 meters, so this is a good escape tactic...ah.
While I was thinking about it, Onodera fell down. At the same time, the other classes quickly closed the gap, and by the time Onodera got up, she had been passed by two other students.
What the hell?! Is this girl shaking?!
Onodera starts running in a hurry, but her speed slows down, probably because she was injured when she fell, and she passes the baton to Kushida, who is passed by two more people.
Kushida, who is in fifth place, is reasonably fast, but because she is a substitute, she is gradually closing in on the following competitors.
I don't know how fast Ayanokoji is, but if Kushida were the anchor, she would probably be around 6th or 7th.
When I think about it that much, an unexpected scene comes to my mind.
President Horikita, a 3rd year A class student who received the baton in 4th place, for some reason stayed where he was and did not start running.
"...What are you doing?" This scene left the entire venue confused. It is true that the difference between him and 1st place was more than 20 meters, so it would be impossible to aim for 1st place, but there should be a possibility of 2nd or 3rd place.
As I was thinking about this, Kushida, who had dropped to 7th place, passed the baton to Ayanokoji.
At the same time, Horikita's brother also starts running...
"fast...!"
The two rush toward the goal with overwhelming speed, faster than even Sudo.
The two ran at speeds that would make it hard to believe they were considered Olympic athletes, and they quickly overtook the two in front of them.
He continued to close in on 2nd and 3rd place. It's impossible to get 1st place, but you can probably aim for 2nd or 3rd place.
And here an accident occurs. When the two students approach the two students in second and third place, the student in second place seems to have been frightened by Ayanokoji and President Horikita, and falls, blocking Ayanokoji's path.
Ayanokoji slows down for a moment, but immediately jumps over and runs.
However, in that moment, President Horikita gains a small lead over Ayanokoji.
Ayanokoji chases after him, but since they are in the lead and their speeds are even, it will be impossible for him to beat Horikita.
result...
"Ooooooooooooooooooo! "
President Horikita finished in 2nd place, and Ayanokoji was barely able to catch up with the 1st year C class in 3rd place and finished in 4th place.
However, the venue was filled with excitement, perhaps because of his overwhelming speed.
It was a fitting end to the sports festival, and I was surprised by this robot's potential.
I don't know what state of mind you were in when you showed your seriousness, but if you want to be serious in the future, please do it in a place that has nothing to do with me.
(And stay away from my harem?!)
________________
The 1,200-meter relay is over, and the students begin to take a short break to wait for the tally.
I keep my distance from my classmates and head towards the vending machine. The reason is that the D class is currently causing quite a stir due to Ayanokoji's overwhelming speed.
I don't like making noise.
Then I heard footsteps behind me, and as I was about to turn around, I was hugged in front of me.
The ones hugging me are Arisu, Masumi, or Hiyori. However, considering the softness of this chest...
"Hiyori?"
"Yes. Thank you for your hard work on the relay. It was really cool."
While saying this, she tightens her grip on me and starts slithering against my back.
I can't see her face, but she's definitely cute.
"I'm really happy to hear that from you. Thank you."
"No... Hachiman-kun's back is big."
Hiyori doesn't stop slurping while saying this. It's seriously too cute.
I want to maintain this relationship even after graduation.
"You really are a spoiled brat."
"Hachiman-kun turned me into a spoiled brat. Tonight, I'll be even more spoiled than before."
That's when I was told.
"The counting has been completed, so the closing ceremony will now begin. All students, please gather on the ground.''
Such an announcement will be made.
"That's all. For now, please leave."
When I said that, my body felt lighter and when I turned around, Hiyori was away from me.
"Let's go then... Hachiman-kun, thank you for your hard work."
Thuu
While saying this, Hiyori gently kisses me on the lips. Ever since the special exam during summer vacation, I have been kissed on the lips often, and I have only recently gotten used to it.
I feel really happy when Hiyori, Arisu, and Masumi kiss me. No matter how bad the mood I was in, I can recover in an instant.
And do Hiyori and the others have the same idea?
A question like that arose involuntarily, and when I understood it, I kissed Hiyori back on the lips.
Hiyori's eyes widened as she was not expecting this.
"Ah... no, it's okay. I suddenly kissed you."
When I apologize hastily, Hiyori laughs and shakes her head.
"No. I was happy. Next time you want to kiss me, please do it anytime."
"...I'll think about it."
I couldn't help but kiss her just now, but it's difficult to do it when I feel like it.
While replying, we went to the ground and headed to our respective classes.
After waiting for a while, the closing ceremony will begin. However, perhaps because it is a merit-based school, the teacher's talk ended quickly and the results were announced.
The scores are disclosed and the ranking of each class is revealed, but most students probably don't pay attention to the rankings of other grades.
The results are... 1st place 1st year C class
2nd place 1st year B class
3rd place 1st year A class
4th place 1st year D class
"Wow! We are in last place after all!"
As Ike said, D class was at the bottom.
As expected, Sudo's absence seems to be significant. The only saving grace is that the red team won the match between the red team and the white team.
As a result, both B and C classes will be minus 100 points.
In short...
Class A - 50 points due to Red Team's victory (0 points) and 3rd place in grade (minus 50 points)
Class B - 100 points due to the loss of the white team (minus 100 points) and 2nd place in the grade (0 points)
Class C - 50 points due to the defeat of the white team (minus 100 points) and 1st place in the grade (50 points)
Class D - 100 points due to Red team's victory (0 points) and lowest grade (minus 100 points)
As expected, I received negative marks in all classes. Even though I worked so hard, it feels empty to receive a negative grade in all classes...
Well, I worked hard in the individual match, so I got a big bonus, so I guess it's good.
The outstanding student by grade was Shibata from class C. There was a high possibility that I would have been selected if it was just the individual events that everyone participated in, but I lost all of the team events and I didn't participate in all the professional events, so it can't be helped.
While I was thinking about this, the closing ceremony continued, and after the results were announced, it came to an end in a state of shock.
Then, when I was about to go change, Masumi came over.
However, she stands in front of Ayanokoji, not me.
"After you get changed, Follow me."
The atmosphere in the D class stopped at Masumi's words.
"…Why me?"
Ayanokoji, on the other hand, was expressionless but opened his mouth.
"I need to talk to you. Come to the front door at 5 o'clock."
"Oh, hey, what's going on, Ayanokoji!?'' What Sudo is implicitly hinting at is the possibility of a confession.
But that would be different. If it was a confession, she wouldn't have acted like she was disgusted.
Most likely Arisu summoned Ayanokoji. Apparently Arisu has known Ayanokoji for a long time.
"Hey, talk to me...what's going on?" Ayanokoji tried to ask a question, but Masumi didn't respond and walked away.
"It's your fault for being creepy and I don't feel sorry for you at all..." I said to Ayanokoji as he headed to the changing room.
After seeing him off, I headed towards Masumi instead of heading to the changing room.
"Masumi. Could it be that Arisu called Ayanokoji?"
"Well, on the third floor of the special building."
The third floor of the special building is one of the few places without surveillance cameras. It's a good place to talk about tricks and secrets.
In that case, eavesdropping is uncouth.
"Then should I wait?"
"It might take a long time, so you don't have to wait."
"Okay. I'll be waiting for you in the dormitory then."
With that said, I part ways with Masumi and head to the changing room.
Then, when I quickly changed my clothes and left the changing room, Hiyori was standing there.
"Thank you for your hard work. Arisu-san and the others asked me to go home first, so would you like to go home with me?"
"Okay. Then let's go home."
"Yes!" She looks excited.
Hiyori said as she intertwined her fingers with mine, so I gently intertwined with hers in return and left the school building.
"Anyway, I'm tired today..."
"That's true. But somehow I was relieved that I didn't end up in last place too often."
By the way, Hiyori managed to get some good rankings in several events.
Well, it's definitely not in the top 10 of the school year.
As I was thinking about it, I saw Kushida heading to a deserted place with Horikita.
(Probably a discussion with Ryūen)
I thought about taking a peek for a moment, but decided against it. I don't know Kushida's true nature, but it's probably for the best.
I want to avoid being noticed by such people. Both Kushida and Ichinose are the type of girls I don't want to get close to.
Who knows when they'll explode?
All you have to do is ask Ryuen about the details later.
Having made that decision, I left the school gate and headed for the dormitory.
The sunset was beautiful and I was reminded that it was autumn.
"Anyway, I'm sweating too much and I want to take a shower soon."
The sun was strong today, and even though it was October, I was sweating a lot, so I wanted to take a shower to freshen up.
"Let's go in together when we get back, okay?"
"ah"
Hiyori says this as a matter of course, but since I've been taking baths with Hiyori, Arisu, and Masumi for over a month now, I don't feel particularly embarrassed anymore.
It's scary to get used to it.
When we returned to the dormitory and entered our room, we immediately went to the changing room and began to take off our clothes.
When I finished taking off my uniform and was only wearing a shirt and pants, I noticed something.
"Huh? Did you have such flashy underwear?"
I noticed something strange about the underwear Hiyori was wearing.
Hiyori usually wears light-colored underwear such as white or light blue, but today she was wearing adult-looking purple underwear.
There is a gap between her and the innocent Hiyori.
"I bought it the other day. After watching the lewd videos that Hachiman-kun has saved on his computer with Arisu-san and Masumi-san, we found out that you like purple and black underwear."
"My privacy!"
It's true that Arisu and her friends also use computers, so I don't lock them! It's also my fault for putting erotic videos on the shared computer!
Will you please stop watching the erotic videos I have hidden deep inside my computer?
My secret stash!
Next time, I'll save it to USB... Well, it's not impossible that the three of them will notice the existence of the USB and view it in the same way.
As I was thinking, Hiyori looked into my face.
"So what do you think...does it suit me?"
"Ah, ah...it suits you."
The fact that the normally neat Hiyori is wearing erotic underwear excites me more than I could have imagined.
To be honest, I want to attack you.
"...I'm glad. Shall we go in?"
As she said, Hiyori removed her bra and pulled down her shorts, leaving her completely uncovered.
I'm used to seeing Hiyori naked, but today, perhaps because the situation is different than usual, I find it even more erotic than usual.
While looking at Hiyori, I took off my underwear, and Hiyori grabbed my arm, opened the bathroom door, and pulled me with her.
Same goes for Arisu and Masumi, but do you guys really want to blow away my rationality?
At the same time...
"...I'm getting kind of annoyed."
"Huh? Did I do something?"
"Ayanokoji-kun has nothing to do with it."
"...hehe. After I finish talking to Ayanokoji-kun, I'll give you plenty of petting Hachiman-kun, okay?" Arisu thought out loud.
"...." Ayanokoji. 'Is this girl the same person who wants to bury me?'
He was doubting life again.
