"Even though he received such a grand salary, you still looked frugal. It's very rare..."
A voice reached out.
However, at this time, a girl's voice came from the other side of Hachiman.
This is Shiina Hiyori, Class D.
After exam, school sorted out the class evaluation scores, and first place was undoubtedly Class C where Sakayanagi was.
No scores were given for the other classes.
Because of this, Hikigaya's class fell down.
So Sakayanagi can no longer be called Class C.
Class A (Ichinose) 1298.1 points
Class B (Sakayanagi) 1250 points
Class C (Horikita) 1185.7 points
Class D (Ryuen) Do you even need to ask at this point?
Horikita became Class C, but most of students didn't feel anything.
Instead, felt lucky didn't get expelled.
Hiyori was still loving it at the bottom.
I understand Mr. Sakagami's pity a little bit. He probably wakes up in his dreams, wondering if he will just get 0 points until his students graduate.
Although there is a gap of more than 1,100 points between Class C where Hachiman is and D where Hiyori loves.
But, Hachiman knows very well what kind of monsters his class is, so there is no need to feel superior.
There was a sun in the sky, and warm sunlight poured down and fell on her, making boys feel as if their humble home was filled with light and brightness.
Hiyori is indeed very pretty.
Hachiman feels that quality of girls in this school is really high, and there are more than one girl of Hiyori's level.
Did Shiina-san say that he is very frugal now?
Um?
After hearing what Hiyori said, Hachiman immediately reacted.
What Hiyori said was that he grasped key points in last exam and severely harvested third-grade Class A.
Hiyori was pretty smart, so she should have guessed the approximate amount of points he had earned.
Class A in Grade 3 probably doesn't have much money, but it has a lot of class evaluation scores.
Then in past two months, Hiyori had seen that meal prices for students in Class 3A of Grade 3 in school cafeteria have dropped again.
There shouldn't be any important exams for Class 3-A, so there's no need to be so frugal.
Only one reason. They have no money, it has been taken away.
Shiina and her friends won all prizes in that exam and received a huge sum of 12 million yen, but she felt that Hikigaya-kun received more.
Shiina-san is probably in a very emotional mood today.
She opened the topic herself.
"Before coming to this school, I was excluded from the class, but it wasn't because I did anything or others ignored me on purpose, but because I felt it was too tiring to get along well with strange faces."
"You have to consider atmosphere and say something that won't ruin it. Even your own preferences have to be considered for the acceptance of people around and you have to pretend not to say them out loud."
"This is what I experienced when I was in junior high school. Analyze and guess what others are thinking, and then say something that will make them happy. This is called 'pleasing others."
Hiyori sipped her coffee gently, and then continued, "I've done this before. It's just that communicating with girls I don't like, troublesome faces, and stupid boys is too tiring."
"After doing this, I still can't find any real true friends. So I gave it up. And that's why I came to this school, hoping to make a difference."
"Then my goal became to find someone who shares the same ideals as me. I think Hikigaya-kun is that kind of person, so if I'm betrayed by him in the future, then I've really done something wrong in my life."
This sounded very stressful, and Hachiman also thought about how Shiina-san had come here to reveal information before.
And this time, what she said about being betrayed by him, in other words, what message was she trying to convey?
"Ding Di——"
Just then Hachiman's own cell phone rang.
This is an incoming call notification, but it shouldn't be anyone important.
He set the ringtone for incoming calls, and if it was someone he knew, it would be a song.
But this time, he didn't make any note of monotonous and ordinary beeping sound.
"You won't even answer it? That's very rude," Hiyori put down her coffee.
"It's just a harassing call," Hachiman didn't want to be rude, especially in front of Hiyori.
This is not nonsense, because in past two days he received two transfers of 10,000 points each.
Party transferring the money also used special permissions and became unknown.
At the same time, it's not just the transferor that's unknown.
When other party calls.
The phone's caller ID didn't show the number.
This cannot be done.
Each student's mobile phone has been marked and registered with an ID when it is distributed.
The same is true for teachers, who can only have the anonymity of their email addresses but not mobile phone numbers.
It is obviously very troublesome to do it.
Hikigaya-kun never answers any of these troublesome calls. It's just this person seems to be very persistent.
So, Hachiman held the phone and pressed reject button without holding any feeling of unease in his heart.
Then he continued to press the button and other party continued to call.
Hachiman was also stubborn, he continued to press the button and refused.
Just like playing a game.
"…" Hiyori, who had been keeping an eye on him, looked confused.
"This person is very troublesome," Hachiman didn't like Hiyori's dark face, so he gave his reason, "Not only does his phone number not show up, but he also keeps harassing me."
"If the harassment was for the purpose of getting things done, then it would be fine, but other party transferred money to me three times, each time for 10,000 points. I'm not interested in doing things involving small amounts of points," Hachiman was a rich boy now.
'Aren't you interested in such a small amount? Indeed, Because this is Hikigaya-kun. He has grown to the point where he can spend 20 million to support his female classmate. Then 30,000 points is really nothing.' Hiyori now clearly understands his new way of life very well.
Only, It seems that Hikigaya-kun has received the same request.
"Actually," Hiyori explained her own doubts, when the caller was not admitting defeat, "Ryuen-kun also received the same transfer and phone call....."
"Oh?" Hikigaya-kun looked over.
"But, Ryuen-kun didn't refuse the 10,000 points," Hiyori felt a bit naughty, as if she was exposing other people's dark secrets, "But what interested him was other party's operation. Since they could even hide their number, it must be interesting people, so it was necessary to press reject button a few times to test the caller's patience. So, Ryuen-kun rejected more than a dozen calls from the other party before answering the call.....After it was connected, the other party didn't say anything. But he sent a message very quickly."
"Message? Is it creepy?"
"Yeah, it says that first-year students will have an In-class voting, and each class will be forced to have one student drop out. But opinions of people from other classes can also influence the dropouts."
"Really? How many votes can others provide?"
Hiyori felt like both were on same wavelength, so she continued to explain which others don't even understand, she found this conversation pretty good to pass her time besides reading her novels, "Each student from outside has one vote of praise and one vote of criticism, and he hopes to cast all the votes of criticism for a student in your class named Ayanokoji Kiyotaka."
"• •" Hachiman....'This guy again... what's actually wrong with him?'
"One ticket is worth 10,000 points. He wanted to buy 40 criticism tickets from my class. If Ryuen-kun agrees, he will first transfer 100,000 points as a deposit. Rest balance will be paid after the exam is over."
....Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, also known as Kiyopon.
He remembered that Ayanokoji had a terrible father who wanted him to drop out of school.
Remember it's 31st.
There is still one day left until content and rules of special exam will be announced on the 1st.
Ordinary students are not allowed to know this.
In other words, the person who transferred money and made the harassing phone calls might be a school staff member.
But Hachiman doesn't think so.
'Because school staff also have some points on them, after all, it is their salary. So it is impossible to be so stingy, just taking out 10,000 or 20,000 points. In other words, although the number was unknown, other party was most likely a student, and not one that was well-received.'
"Then did Ryuen agree?" Hachiman wanted to know this more.
"He agreed," Hiyori gave him a troubled wicked smile, "After receiving 100,000 points, he blocked the other party....hehe."
"…"
As expected of Ryuen.
Ryuen knew this kind of transaction was shady, and between students usually started at several million.
A mere 400,000 from one person was meaningless, so he blocked the other party after defrauding him of 110,000.
However, soldier's money can be cheated, but the other party failed to harass him and instead harassed Ryuen, which also shows there must be something wrong with special exam.
In other words.
Unfortunately, it came true.
Hachiman didn't see Chairman Sakayanagi eating on the third floor during lunch break yesterday or today.
Something must have happened.

Very quickly.
After separating from Shiina, Hachiman received a file from his classmate Ayanokoji.
The other party said that he also received a harassing call.
Number is unknown.
It's just that students' cell phones have been specially modified so they can't call people outside the local area, and people from outside can't call in either.
In other words, person who just called him was someone from the school.
Hachiman clicked on the audio message sent by Ayanokoji.
There are only five simple words in it.
[Ayanokoji Kiyotaka]
Judging from the other person's voice, he sounds young, so probability that he is a student is very high.
Need to investigate.
In the evening, Hachiman came to the girls' dormitory.
Since Suzune went shopping, Hachiman had to go to Kushida's room.
"...Boss, what's the matter?"
Kushida, who came to open the door, was like an angel. Boys can go to girls' rooms, but they usually don't unless there is something special.
They will leave around 8 o'clock to avoid suspicion.
Now it is already 8:07.
It's obviously timed out.
But Kushida-chan is still like an angel.
"Well, there's something. It's about Horikita. I hope to talk to you, Kushida-san," Hachiman noticed a girl passing by with a kettle and looking over here.
Maybe she thought that Hikigaya-kun was usually with Horikita-san, and she was curious about him meeting someone else today.
"It's great that no one dropped out of remedial class this time. Horikita saw effect of my hard work. She hopes the remedial class can continue. Blah blah blah——"
Hachiman said something ambiguous but it sounded serious, which made the girl, who was originally curious about why Hachiman and Kushida met so late, immediately lost interest after hearing it, and even left quickly.
This is a Random girl of his class.
At the same time, Hachiman's face looked gloomy.
'Since exam has just ended, why do we need to continue taking extra classes? Besides, Hikigaya-kun must have studied 10 hours a day to get high scores, but who wants to? No, no. I have more important things to do, like find a rich boyfriend or something.....' That girl moved away.
Only at this time was Hachiman able to officially enter Kushida's room.
"So what's going on late at night?"
As a person with high emotional intelligence, the little angel Kushida understood what Hachiman said just now was meaningless.
He must have come here for a purpose.
