"Damn it! Damn it! Why do I have to go through this!"
After Hachiman's explanation, Yamauchi, who was attacked by Miyake, receives cold stares from his classmates, runs out of the classroom, and runs down the hallway.
"Why am I the top candidate for expulsion? Sakura and Hikigaya should be expelled!"
Even after receiving so much explanation, Yamauchi still thought that he was a student who should not have been expelled, and was dissatisfied with Hachiman's explanation.
However, Yamauchi thought that his classmates agreed with Hachiman's explanation because they were safe.
"What should I do...!"
Yamauchi couldn't help but whisper. He is sure that if he continues like this he will be expelled from school, which makes him tremble.
That was the time.
"What's wrong, Yamauchi-kun?"
I heard that voice so I turned around...
"Yamamura-chan..."
There was Miki Yamamura from A class. She started talking to me in February and has been playing with me once a week since then.
"It looks like you're worried about something, are you okay? If you have any trouble, I'll talk to you about it."
When Yamamura talks to Yamauchi with concern, Yamauchi starts talking one after another.
"Everyone in my class is jealous of me...and since I'm with Yamamura-chan, they suspect that I might sell information to Class A."
Yamauchi cannot say that he is incompetent so there is a possibility that he will receive a lot of critical votes, so he lies.
Yamamura, on the other hand, gave a small nod.
"That's why you're afraid of getting critical votes. Okay, leave it to me."
"What?"
Yamauchi was taken aback by the unexpected response. She smiles at Yamauchi.
"I have about 20 friends in my class, so I will ask them to give Yamauchi-kun a praise vote. If he gets a praise vote from my class, I think you can avoid expulsion."
"Oh!"
Yamauchi gasps at Yamamura's proposal. If the 20 students in Class A gave votes of praise to Yamauchi, there would be a high chance that he would be able to avoid expulsion.
This is because Sakura, who was named along with him, is not the type to receive praise votes in class.
"But, what about Sakayanagi-chan?"
"Sakayanagi-san? She said that you can give praise votes to other classes as you like, so it's okay."
Yamamura smiles. At the same time, he begins to have hope that he might be saved.
"I don't really understand the situation in Class D, but I'm sure if you get 20 votes from Class A, you'll be saved, so leave it to me. I don't want Yamauchi-kun to be expelled either."
He breathes a sigh of relief at Yamamura's words, but some concerns remain.
"But, are you really going to give me a praise vote? I'm really worried."
Yamamura smiles at Yamauchi, who says he can't trust her based on a verbal promise.
"In that case, why don't you draw up a contract and have the student council president attend? That way, Yamauchi-kun will feel safe, right?"
"Oh, seriously?!"
Yamauchi is surprised by the unexpected response, but at the same time he realizes that his anxiety is fading away.
"Of course. Then, let's go to the student council room so we can draw up a contract."
"Ah, ah"
Yamauchi does not go against Yamamura's words and starts walking, following her.
Then, when he knocked on the door of the student council room and entered, Nagumo was the only one inside.
"Excuse me, 1st year A class Miki Yamamura and 1st year D class Haruki Yamauchi, but I have come to ask President Nagumo of a request.''
"Please? Am I a witness of some sort?"
"Yes. I would like to conclude a contract with Yamauchi-kun, so could you please be present?"
"Okay. I'll be present when you submit the contract. If you haven't done it yet, you can do it now."
Nagumo took out a piece of paper and pointed to the table, so Yamamura wrote the details of the contract on a piece of paper and showed it to Yamauchi.
Contract
Miki Yamamura (hereinafter referred to as "Part A") and Haruki Yamauchi (hereinafter referred to as "Part B") conclude the contract as follows.
1. Party A calls on 20 friends in her class to vote for Party B.
2. Party A shall record the call and submit the recording data to Miyabi Nagumo when fulfilling the condition 1.
3. Upon receiving the recorded data, President Nagumo will notify Party B that he has received the recorded data.
1st year A class Miki Yamamura
I give Yamauchi a contract written like that.
"Yes. I wrote it, so please write your name too, Yamauchi-kun."
"Oh, I see!"
Yamauchi signs the contract with a relieved expression on his face and approaches Nagumo with the contract in hand.
"Then please!"
After looking at the contract, Nagumo smiled slightly, signed his name, and then stamped his approval.
"The contract is complete. Yamamura, please ask your classmates to put in their praise votes as per the contract.
At that time, prepare the recording data and send it to me. If the recording data does not arrive by tomorrow's special exam, It will be considered a violation and will be punished."
"Got it"
"As for Yamauchi, I will contact you as soon as I receive the recording data, so please send me your contact information."
"Right!"
Yamauchi happily hands over his contact information to Nagumo.
Nagumo confirms this and nods.
"I certainly received it. You can step back now."
"Excuse me"
"Excuse me!"
The two leave the student council room, and at the same time Yamauchi thanks Yamamura.
"Yamamura-chan! Thank you so much!"
"It's only natural that I don't want Yamauchi-kun to be expelled from school. Instead, I'll go to my classmates, but Yamauchi-kun should go home and not see me until the exams are over. If the contract is leaked, Class D may further adjust the votes to expel Yamauchi-kun."
"Oh, that's right. I understand."
Yamauchi also doesn't want to make any more enemies, so he decides to follow Yamauchi's suggestion.
"Well then, Yamauchi-kun, see you tomorrow."
"See you later! Oh, and do you want to go out after the exam?"
"Good. I'm looking forward to it."
"Oh, seriously?!"
Yamauchi gets excited at Yamamura's approval.
"Of course. Then I'll go now. I want to gather my classmates as soon as possible."
"Okay. Well then, please!"
Yamauchi runs down the hallway, feeling excited. Yamamura sees him off with a smile, but her expression turns cold the moment that scum is out of sight.
"I feel irritated... well, my patience will end tomorrow, so let's do our best."
Yamamura let out a sigh and sent a message to her 20 classmates to gather together, and when she finished sending another message to the class leader, Arisu, she headed to the A class classroom.
Night...
"Yes, Hachiman-kun. I did send the money, so please confirm."
While I was relaxing on my bed in the dormitory, Arisu operated her cell phone, so I checked it too.
Hikigaya Hachiman 20000000 ppt
My terminal has 20 million private points needed for relief measures.
"At this point, Hachiman-kun is mostly safe, but please be prepared just in case."
Regarding the after-school incident, I think my position is mostly safe due to what Koenji said, but Arisu gave me a point to be careful.
Now the probability of me dropping out of school is 0.
"Thank you Arisu."
"You're welcome. Also, it seems that Yamamura-san has completed her preparations."
"I'm sorry again. I'll buy you something next time."
"For me, I would like a different type of reward than food..."
Arisu begs, looking wistful. Her usually cool begging has too much destructive power.
"Hey, Sakayanagi. Please don't rush around. If you're asking for a reward, then I have the right to ask for a reward as well, since I cooperated with Hachiman's loan."
"That's right. Hachiman-kun is our common property. Also, I asked some of my classmates to vote for Hachiman-kun, so I would like a reward."
Masumi and Hiyori make additional requests.
For me, if the three of them ask for it, I will respond.
"Don't fight each other. I'll do whatever you want, regardless of the time or place. You don't have to go out of your way to ask me for a reward."
Chut tut tut tut
When I kiss the lips of the three sparks, they look at me with glossy eyes.
"...Okay. Now, once the fracture has healed, please spend a whole day making love to me, just the two of us."
"...I'd like it too. I don't mind petting, but I want Hachiman to attack me to the fullest. Once you're completely healed, I want to be attacked by just the two of us all day long."
"...I also want you to love me all day long, just the two of us. Before that, I'll make a lot of food that will give you energy."
Three people beg like that.
(Apparently, once the fracture is fully healed, I'll be suffering from lack of sleep and back pain...)
However, I have no intention of refusing it. If the three of you want love, it's my responsibility to respond to that demand.
Even as I thought so, I continued kissing the three spoiled children until I fell asleep.
__________
Finally, the day of the exam arrived. Everyone is gathered in the classroom.
The exam started at 9am and it's now 8:30am. The slight delay was probably not a consideration, but a gimmick to make the students suspicious.
Even as I thought so, I glanced around Yamauchi and noticed that there was more time than yesterday.
However, perhaps because he thought that if I gave them too much attention, he would be suspicious, he pretended to be calm, but there was a smile on his lips.
As I was thinking about this, Hirata came up to the podium.
"Everyone, I want you to listen to me for a moment."
What are you going to talk about? Are you going to tell me that you should vote against me now?
But that doesn't make sense. Even if 39 people other than me vote to criticize me, it won't be a problem.
I heard from Hiyori yesterday that she arranged for seven of her classmates to give me praise votes.
If I include Hiyori, 8 people will give me praise votes.
And Class C gives me 20 praise votes.
Even if 39 students from class D gave me criticism votes, there would be 28 praise votes and my score would be minus 11 votes.
If this is the case, it won't be lower than Yamauchi or Sakura.
By the way, the terminal has 20 million private points for relief, so you won't be expelled from school.
In other words, no matter what Hirata says, I won't be expelled from school, so it's not a big deal.
While thinking about this, Hirata opens his mouth.
"This exam is a test that gathers criticism from unnecessary students, but I think there are more unnecessary students than Yamauchi-kun.''
"Then who is it? I hope you don't give boring answers like Hikigaya Boy."
Koenji says this while taking care of his hair, but I can kind of guess it.
it is...
"It's me. I want you to write my name on the criticism sheet."
I knew it. Hirata has read that I will destroy my classmates if he criticizes me, so it is impossible for him to nominate me.
However, if he left things as they were, there was a high possibility that Yamauchi would be expelled from the school, so he probably chose to sacrifice himself.
Don't go down.
I don't mean to deny self-sacrifice, but the only time you should sacrifice yourself is when someone important to you is in trouble.
When I was in junior high school, I did things that caused hate to be directed at me several times, but from my point of view now, it's an extremely stupid thing to say.
Well, the Sagami and Hayama groups that I protected during my self-sacrifice were all destroyed before I graduated, so it's too late now.
"I-I can't do that!"
"That's right. There's no way I'll let Hirata-kun get expelled!"
However, the accomplishments of the past year will become an enemy, and many opposing opinions will emerge.
Despite such opposing opinions, Hirata's story continues.
"That's stupid. Is it self-sacrifice because you can't choose who to drop out of?"
Koenji also looked shocked at this.
"The reason why this exam is unreasonable in the first place is because no one wants to be expelled. It's an unreasonable exam that requires forcing people who don't want to be expelled. But if someone wants to be expelled, that's not the case, right?!"
"Do you really think that there will be students who will honestly criticize Hirata boy?"
"People who say they want to be expelled will be expelled. There's no particular problem with it.'' That may be true in theory, but the story changes when it comes to students who have a say in the class.
Hirata doesn't understand that.
If he really wanted to sacrifice himself, he should hold the expulsion letter in hand and threaten, "If I don't get enough critical votes, I'll expel myself voluntarily.''
If that happens, everyone in the class will vote to criticize Hirata. If he doesn't get in, Hirata will be expelled in addition to the lowest ranked student.
In that case, there will be a penalty for Hirata's expulsion. If that were the case, he would receive critical votes from the beginning, and Hirata would be expelled from the school.
In short, Hirata's method is half-hearted.
If you are serious about self-sacrifice, you have to do this much.
Does Hirata really think he can leave school his way? Or is he pretending to be self-sacrificing, gathering pity and praise votes, and aiming for protection points?
Naturally, the class's reaction to Hirata was the opposite.
Well, from my point of view, as long as I don't drop out, there's no problem.
Well, Matsushita is useful, so it would be a problem if she were to be expelled, but Matsushita is neither praised nor criticized, and in a sense is the student who is the least likely to be expelled, so there is no problem.
On the other hand, Yamauchi, who was so vocal yesterday, is quiet.
They're probably trying not to make any more enemies.
As I was thinking about that, Chabashira-sensei entered the classroom.
"Preparations for the exam are complete. The person whose name is called will move to a separate room and vote.''
Now it's time for the fateful vote. Who will be expelled and who will get the protective points...
Well, I can pretty much predict it.
30 minutes later…
After everyone has finished voting, we all sit in our chairs waiting for the results to be announced.
Everyone has already voted, so calling them now won't change the result.
Looking around, some students had their usual expressions, while others had expressions filled with anxiety.
However, the one who was shaking the most was Sakura. Yamauchi, who is the top candidate for expulsion, is humming in good spirits.
The majority of the class looked at Yamauchi suspiciously, seeing that he was so relaxed after being criticised so much by me, and Sakura, seeing Yamauchi's relaxed expression, thought that Yamauchi had taken some countermeasures.
She was shaking.
"That's quite a bit of leeway. Don't you even think in the slightest that you'll drop out of school?"
Koenji looks at Yamauchi with interest, and Yamauchi smiles.
"Oh, I won't be expelled."
"I think most of this class gave you a negative vote. How are you doing?"
"That's not true. I'm the one who will be expelled."
"You haven't seen reality yet? Look at it."
Koenji takes out his cell phone and shows it to Hirata.
"Last night, I received a message from several girls.
Tomorrow, Hirata-kun might ask you to expel him. At that time, he might say something terrible to everyone. But I'm sure that he don't mean it seriously. Please trust me and give him a vote of praise.''
I'm sure this has reached many students.''
"That's it..."
Hirata is stunned by Koenji's words, but does this mean that Ayanokoji used Karuizawa?
"So? If you're that confident, do you have a plan?"
"There is"
Koenji shifts his gaze from Hirata to Yamauchi, who nods.
"Most of this class would have put me in it. But it would be the same for Sakura, so it would probably be a one-on-one battle between me and Sakura."
"I guess so. However, my guess is that you'll get around -30 points, and Glasses Girl will get between -15 and -20 points, which is quite a difference."
There is nothing wrong with what Koenji is saying. If there wasn't a praise vote system for other classes, Yamauchi would probably end up expelled from the school as Koenji said.
"Probably so. But, if you just look at the class, the difference between me and Sakura is about 10 to 15 points, right? If that's the case, then I'll be fine!"
Yamauchi gets excited and spreads his arms.
"Yamamura-chan called her friends and promised to give me 20 praise votes! It's a close call, but I won!"
Those words caused an uproar among the classmates. Koenji, on the other hand, looks at Yamauchi with interest.
"If that were true, you wouldn't be expelled from school, but did you sign the contract properly? If you don't do the basics of negotiation, a verbal agreement is bound to be broken."
"Ha! I made the contract properly and had the student council president witness it! So there's no problem!"
I was shocked to hear those words. It seems that even my classmates had no idea that he had signed a contract.
"I see. Then you won't be expelled. By the way, Hikigaya boy. You're Little Girl's boyfriend, but did you know about this?"
"No. I didn't order Arisu to vote for me, so I didn't know."
"That's a shame, Koenji! It's not me who's expelled, it's Sakura! Well, Sakura has no other merits other than her body, so it's only natural!"
Yamauchi laughed and pointed a finger at Sakura.
As a result, Sakura turned pale and looked like a dead fish.
"Airi...wait! You've been acting up since yesterday!"
At this point, Hasebe, Airi's mother yells at Yamauchi, but Yamauchi laughs out loud.
"Isn't that true?! I was able to get help from other classes, but Sakura is a small fry who can't get help!"
Yamauchi continued to laugh, as if he knew it was absolutely safe.
"It's too bad because Hikigaya was aiming for me too."
Yamauchi grins, but...
"I'm not particularly disappointed. Considering the class in this exam, nominating Yamauchi would be a 100-point answer, but it doesn't change the fact that Sakura isn't doing well enough either.
If I submit an answer that says Sakura's expelled, I'll get around 90 or 80 points."
This exam is a test to delete the most unnecessary students, but if you can eliminate the small fry who may drop out before graduation and reduce your class points, you will be able to clear the exam.
And if Sakura doesn't change like this, there's a chance she'll drop out sooner or later, and the class won't suffer any loss if Sakura ends up at the bottom.
"By the way, taking my personal feelings into consideration, if any student other than me gets expelled from this exam, then it's a win for me. It doesn't matter if it's you or Sakura, Hirata or Koenji. If I don't, there's no problem."
"Huh, you're feeling bitter about losing. Maybe you'll be expelled from school."
"I'm just telling you the truth. Once you're in last place, it's time."
Treat Yamauchi appropriately.
The voting has already ended, so making a fuss won't change anything.
"I see. Hikigaya Boy borrows points from Little Girl and has 20 million points, right?"
Koenji grins and points at me, drawing the attention of the class.
"It's normal to always think of the worst-case scenario."
The voting has already ended, so there's no problem even if they find out.
At this point, Hirata starts talking to me.
"Please. If someone other than me is expelled, I want you to use those points."
"You said yesterday that you wouldn't tolerate my presence, but now you're going to rely on me if things become inconvenient? What a hypocrite!" I snorted at him coldly, "Even if I lend it to you, can you return it?"
"Oh, that's..."
"Anyway, this is Arisu's points, and she told me not to use it unless I was expelled, so I'm rejecting it!"
I dismiss Hirata's suggestion and wait while reading a book.
At that time, the members who usually accompany Sakura, except for Ayanokoji, come to see her.
On the other hand, Ayanokoji is staring at the sky, but this guy is the creepiest one after all.
At this point, Chabashira-sensei enters the classroom holding a piece of paper.
At the same time, tension runs through the classroom. It's finally time to announce the results.
"Sorry for making you guys wait. Now that the results have been finalized, I'm going to announce them. First, I'll announce the top scores starting with 3rd place."
It's finally time... Well, I definitely won't be expelled.
While thinking about this, I looked at Chabashira-sensei, and she cleared her throat before opening her mouth.
"Third place... Yosuke Hirata with 24 points ."
The moment his name was called, Hirata looked up to the sky.
Even though he wanted to drop out, he was ranked high, and the trust in Hirata within the class was so strong.
"Second place is 28 points, Kei Karuizawa.'' Hearing this, Karuizawa narrows her eyes slightly before looking at me.
She scores pretty high, but she doesn't seem happy. Did she glance at me because she thought she'd be number one?
Hey, hey, these two are in this ranking...who's in first place?'' I heard a voice say.
Most of the class probably thought that Karuizawa and Hirata were the top two, and the rest were just boogers.
"First place is...'' Meanwhile, Chabashira-sensei pauses for a moment.
But really in a moment...
"...Kiyotaka Ayanokoji with 41 points."
The classroom was buzzing at the shocking result. From the perspective of his classmates, they would probably think of him as someone who can't receive votes of praise or criticism.
However, it is natural to be surprised since it came out on top.
Most of all, I know the reason why Ayanokoji came first. In any case, 1st to 3rd place were announced.
The problem is next.
"Next, we will announce the lowest ranked students. As you probably already know, the lowest ranked students will be asked to pack up their belongings and come to the staff room with me after this to complete the withdrawal procedures."
While Chabashira's words made her nervous, Yamauchi seemed relaxed, while Sakura was shaking tremendously.
and...
"The last place is Haruki Yamauchi with minus 33 points."
