Declaring the war over, Sakayanagi left Hikigaya's room.
It was the first time for her to come into a boy's room, but it wasn't some dangerous place.
"Kamuro-san! Kamuro-san!"
"You can return the chair to Hikigaya-kun now!"
After returning to her room, Sakayanagi yelled at Kamuro-san who was waiting inside.
"..." Kamuro-san. 'So, why go to Hikigaya's room specifically and then ask me to steal the chair?'
"....Your face is all red? What on earth Hikigaya do to you?"
In fact, Sakayanagi doesn't understand herself, what just happened, she made a real mess on his bedsheets!
God, she really wanted to dig a hole and crawl her face into.
"What on earth am I doing?" Sakayanagi muttered as she returned to her room and sat down on a chair instead, as to not leak on her futon.
She adjusted her skirt a little, so that her wet spot isn't visible to Kamuro-san's gaze.
Her panties were soaking...wet right now.
Then, Arisu started to daydream, her ears didn't even register when her pet left and came back.
"I completed my mission!" Kamuro-san snapped her fingers right under Sakayanagi's nose to wake her up, who looked out at her in a daze.
"Good, I'll text Sakura later and ask her to come over for extra lessons?"
"What?! No No No! Cancel today! I am very busy today's night!"
At this point, it was indeed almost time for Sakayanagi to give remedial lessons to the poor students.
But Kamuro-san rarely noticed that Sakayanagi was actually declining so profusely, her face looked all scarlet, losing her usual cold but elegant view.
"Send a text message. The exam is coming up soon. The grades of both of you should be stable. But you still need to make up two or three more classes. But there is no lesson today, I am not in good condition."
But she shook her head again, "Sure enough, there's something wrong with me..." Arisu had never felt like this before.
"L-Like a....Like a pervert!"
???
"K-Kamuro-san, my emotions are mixed. I think I.....I have a c-cr...."
"....."
"• •" Kamuro-san.....'She doesn't behave like usual Sakayanagi at all. What on earth Hikigaya do to her?'
Because Kamuro-san didn't understand what was going on.
And Sakayanagi actually gave such an evaluation of herself, are there any more excessive words? She wanted to hear more.
But only Sakayanagi understood what she said.
'During the previous pairing test, I tried to attack Kushida-san, but Hikigaya-kun quickly responded, which made me unhappy.'
'I then arranged for Kushida-san to attack Horikita-san, but Hikigaya-kun solved the problem even more quickly.'
'This made me somewhat....jealous.'
'Yes, I was in a bad mood at that time.'
'Then, I learned that Hikigaya-kun had actually started to take action towards his life goal of becoming a househusband, and had even found a partner....'
'Um.....I was in a very bad mood.'
'Today I sat in Hikigaya-kun's room and was in a daze for two hours.'
'Logically speaking, after being left alone for so long and waiting for so long, one would be very dissatisfied.'
'I was indeed dissatisfied, but after Hikigaya-kun came back and talked to me, I felt that my dissatisfaction was weakened until he sat down next to me.....'
'My heartbeat quickened, and I felt as if I might not be able to stand even with two canes.'
'Isn't this caring and falling in love with other person?....Well, and that unspeakable liquid that just flowed out of my puss----'
"...It's really going to be a disaster." Arisu sighed softly and uttered melancholy words.
'I used to think that Hikigaya-kun was a good rival who could add variety to campus life, but now it's different.'
'I wasn't happy when he agreed to a duel, but I was more excited when he sat so close to me, his body almost touching min----'
"• •" Kamuro-san just checked her forehead to make sure, "You are burning up. Sakayanagi, do you want to see a doctor?"
So Kamuro-san had a blank expression on her face, but it wasn't because she was cold, it was because she didn't understand what Sakayanagi was saying from beginning to end.
She just hoped that Sakayanagi would stop slacking off and continue tutoring her today.
Although she doesn't like studying and has no talent for it, it is undeniable that teaching of this genius Sakayanagi is still amazing.
At least, she felt that her grades had improved a lot.

Thus, time quickly came to special exam for first graders this month.
And day before the exam.
Ichinose's issue has been resolved.
However, Hikigaya has one last job, may even need to go forward alone.
Because, he wants to send a thank you letter.
The location is downstairs of second-year student dormitory.
Maybe it's because the second graders have an exam tomorrow, so no one seems to come back at this time and the entire first floor looks empty.
Hachiman came to the mailbox in service hall on 1st floor.
The second-year dormitory was designed same as first-year with resting chairs and rows of student mailboxes on the first floor.
Mailboxes are separated for men and women.
He easily found a private mailbox marked [Asahina Nazuna].
He took out the letter from his schoolbag, but when he was about to put it in, found it was locked.
After opening it slightly, he saw a letter lying inside.
Judging from the letter, it was probably placed here this morning.
After a brief hesitation, Hachiman took out the letter.
The letter has addressee [That person] on its surface.
Looks weird. But Hachiman smiled, which was rare.
He put his own letter which said [It's over, thank you for your help] in it, and took out [That person's] letter.
He did not continue to stay downstairs of second-year dormitory because even if there was no one now, was no guarantee there would be no one later.
Hachiman was already quite rash in putting letter directly in the mailbox.
If he continued to read the letter there, it might cause trouble to other party.
So, Hachiman came to famous spot where Kushida kicked the railings.
The scenery there was very nice, there was sea breeze and were not many people, so it was very quiet.
And perfect to read the letters here.
When opened, it contained a series of printed words.
[Thank you for picking up my amulet.]
[It's just that you're being too enthusiastic. And my class is also in danger.]
[I really don't know whether this is lucky or unfortunate.]
There was no name on it, and even if the letter was exposed, she probably wouldn't have any problems.
But what she points out is very important. Because this person is Asahina Nazuna.
In this incident, she was considered a betrayer.
After Ichinose was rumored to have a message in shoe cabinet.
Sakayanagi immediately fought back.
Arrange to capture the people in Ryuen's class.
Hachiman was not idle at this time either. He went to see Ryuen, but Ryuen was stubborn and did not reveal who was going to attack Ichinose.
Just paid back 2 million points.
Taking the opportunity of picking up the amulet, Hachiman puts a note in Asahina's mailbox, asking if Nagumo has been paying attention to any girl recently.
Asahina answered quickly.
She told him that Nagumo was planning to attack a school girl named Ichinose Honami.
It looked like just a message was delivered.
Apparently, she made a wrong estimate at the beginning.
She didn't expect that informing Hikigaya-kun of news would have such a huge negative impact on Nagumo.
This might have directly ruined the future of her childhood sweetheart, Nagumo Miyabi.
Hikigaya looked at the words above, 'I can sense Asahina-senpai doesn't really look that sad.'
Sure enough, he still doesn't understand girls.

December 27th.
This month's special exam for first graders has begun.
A written examination is required.
There are five subjects in total, and only students who fail will be asked to drop out directly, and the four classes with highest average scores will be awarded a class evaluation score of 100 points.
It looks relatively simple.
It is also somewhat different from previous exams.
That is, invigilator made some fine-tuning on day of the exam.
The black-stockinged Chabashira teacher from Hachiman's class is not here.
"I guess you don't know me yet. It doesn't matter, as long as you don't cheat and get caught by me."
Instead, head teacher of Class D stood digitally on the board in Hachiman's classroom.
???
The homeroom teacher of Class B, Sae Chabashira, went to invigilate Class D.
Similarly, the homeroom teachers of Class A and Class C also exchanged invigilations.
There was nothing outstanding about this exam.
Perhaps the only thing that was a bit surprising was that invigilator was no longer the teacher of said class.
It would be meaningless to just change a teacher to supervise.
Everyone knows there are cameras in the room, so cheating is not something they would consider at all.
Because you might still pass if you don't know the answer, but you will fail directly if you cheat.
No one would be so stupid.
Chemistry teacher on board is from same year as Chabashira.
But, Sakagami is tall and thin, and his face is always bumpy, probably due to the irregular hormone secretion in his body, which makes him look older than his peers.
It's just his self-cultivation is really not that good.
This can be seen from the previous incident where Sudo beat someone.
However, Hikigaya's opinion of this teacher still declined.
The reason I say this is that when this teacher was standing at podium, he looked like a teacher, but after distributing the papers, he immediately started walking around.
It was reasonable for teachers to supervise and patrol the examination room.
But Hachiman found he just passed by the students one by one and then stood beside him.
Sakagami didn't move, and looked at him with his glasses on.
"..."
From students' point of view, this will undoubtedly be stressful.
It seems that some people noticed this, but were relieved.
The teacher inspecting and staring at you will make students nervous, and even fail to answer some questions they can do, and minds will go blank, etc., and now Hachiman alone is withstanding pressure of the invigilator.
"Hikigaya Hachiman, you don't belong here." Sakagami whispered very roughly.
"....." Hachiman was speechless. The other party was standing behind him and said something very outrageous to deny his identity.
"Having defeated Ryuen and been promoted to Class A, Chabashira really has found a treasure from the child who came from the back door." He said this and finally started to move.
There was a sense of defeat in his tone.
Because Hachiman has a good relationship with Chabashira Sensei, he knows very well that it's not just the students who value strength above all else, but teachers as well.
Their treatment and dignity will change with students' performance and ranking.
Chemistry teacher here likes Ryuen very much, and even supports him against his teacher's ethics, but Ryuen's withdrawal and class evaluation score have not exceeded 0 points, which means that his hope is gone.
According to his understanding, even the garbage class D can climb up to A, and his class started out as Class C, so why can't it happen?
That's why he uses such a loser tone.
But he was also young, because Chabashira herself had just realized that school's words about strength supremacy were all lies, and that control group was clearly asked to accompany the experimental group to study, and Ryuen's class was based on C, which meant that it was also a control group, so it would be treated as garbage.
Anyone who climbed up would be driven down.
But if you tell him this, he will probably explode.
....The student in front handed the test paper to Hachiman, but there was one missing.
There was one paper extra on Suzune's side, so she handed it to him.
"..." She didn't say anything, just looked over.
Hachiman understood what she meant and asked him to do better in the exam.
The subject for today's exam is Japanese.
This is subject that Hikigaya is best at.
How good is just a little bit better?
He took a quick look at the paper and thought he could get 98 out of 100.
'Only, Horikita is the kind of person who has a lot of self-esteem and basically never slacks off in her studies. If I win over someone who spends 10 hours a day studying and intensively concentrate on Japanese during this period, she will probably be desperate.'
Hachiman felt this was real test question.
Um? So when Sakagami was patrolling, he found that Hachiman had already started answering, but he did not pause at all.
This is almost unbelievable.
