Horikita-san was probably the kind of person who didn't listen to what was going on outside the window when she was in junior high school, and she only read the books of sages.
So let alone Kushida-san's dark history, she probably didn't even know that Kushida and she came from the same junior high school.
'So, Kushida, please be kind to yourself.....you don't have to come to see Horikita every day.'
'It's bad for your mental health, and she also finds you annoying.'
Only. Hachiman was a little concerned. Because if that's the case, then what is Kushida's dark history?
And if it can be used to manipulate her. Will it be effective? 'But I always feel like she will explode.'
Hachiman quickly pushed back his strange thoughts.
After all, he only needs to have normal contact with her and show that he wants her to help. Then she will comply.
Because she, like Hirata, looks like a saint or a little angel. All requests are answered.
So, there is no extra cost. It's free. Then naturally there is no need to detonate her bomb.

"Speaking of which, your brother." Hachiman took out a point card from his pocket. "In the agreement between me and Chabashira-sensei, she made a deposit of 1 million in advance."
"Then your brother paid 1 million to the school because he informed you about secret rules."
"But he also helped me complete the agreement with Chabashira-sensei, I can give you this million." Hachiman pushed the point card to Horikita Suzune, showing his good-will.
He is not an overbearing person. If Horikita-san helps, he can still give 10% of the reward.
After all, getting into Class A is not something that happens overnight and requires long-term assistance.
Hirata and Kushida were both free, but Horikita Suzune is not, Hachiman decided to pay some money.
"..." Horikita. She checked the point card but didn't accept it. "Because of my recklessness, my brother lost 1 million points...."
"But I will earn this amount through my own efforts and return it to my brother." She said, with fierce determination in her eyes.
After a few days, Horikita's sister now seems much tougher.
She didn't even mention being useless anymore. 'But Horikita, your statement is tough, but it makes no sense.'
'Because, you don't understand what your brother wants you to experience and learn.....That's tact!
'It's easy to get too straight, but now I am directly offering you 1 million.'
If you accept it, you've learned to be tactful. 'So Horikita-san, you may have failed again!'
It's just that Hachiman is not a bad person like Sakayanagi Arisu who likes to bully others. "Then get more accustomed to this school." He said calmly.
"The way to obtain points seems to be that after joining a club, you can get additional rewards from the school for outstanding performance, or when you pass the school's special examination, they should also give you points as rewards."
"Even in the lower classes, I found some students can afford a good meal. So, maybe some exams will give some rewards to some lucky people." Hachiman said, giving some good advice like a parent to his small child.
"I'll think about it." Small child Horikita nodded, she looked very obedient and took her parent's advice seriously.
And this means that for the next exam and the next exam after that, Horikita Suzune, you will give me your full support.
'I gave her the point card, but she gave it back. So it's also free like those two!'
So, Hachiman put away the point cards. There's no need to waste money.
__________
Everything is going on in an orderly manner. The first thing to bear the brunt is the code of conduct examination.
The content of the assessment is the standards that an excellent student should have.
The classmates in the class must have experienced pain, so unexpectedly no one touched their mobile phones in class today.
But when the class was over, people couldn't help it anymore. After all, mobile phones have become part of the hand.
Only. At the end of the day, Hachiman didn't find another chance to talk to Sakura.
'I originally wanted to get in touch with her, but she seems to usually go to the campus alone with a pink camera after school, so there's no need to ruin her good mood.'
After all, Hachiman hasn't gone that far yet.
And instead of looking for a reliable partner, Hachiman thought it would be better for Sakura to remain cute.
Therefore, according to Hirata's warning, he thought it was better not to disturb her.
That's how it was. When he returned to the dormitory after school, Hachiman found Kushida greeting classmates from other classes in the lobby on the first floor.
It seemed that they were going back to the dormitory to change out of their school uniforms, and then go shopping together at the street.
In fact, Hachiman felt that the shopping street was so close to the dormitory, and since they were all students, he could just go there in uniform.
It's just that girls also like to dress up and show a different version of themselves.
'And sometimes I can see casual clothes that I usually don't see, so isn't that nice?...'
Although he has no intention of getting close to anyone, Hachiman thinks that this kind of campus life is quite good.
Only. As he was getting on the elevator, he suddenly stopped.
Because a black camera was found in the corner of the elevator.
And probably because it wasn't noticed, there was an obvious footprint on it.
Must be stepped on, and he didn't know if it was damaged or not.
Now there was only Hachiman in the elevator, so decided to knelt down and picked up the camera.
A foot stepped on it, causing some damage to the edges of the camera. 'I don't know if its functionality has been short-circuit.'
"This is..." Just turning on the power of the camera, Hachiman saw patches of colorful scenery. 'Holy fuck!'
Hachiman felt that this thing cannot be left with the staff on the first floor as lost and found.
___________
"Good morning, Sakura." The next morning, Hachiman came to the classroom as usual, waiting for the said person to arrive, and then prepared to say hello.
It's just that Sakura came very late today. And she looks a little haggard.
Didn't seem to sleep well.
Could it be that something bad happened yesterday when a person with a pink camera visited the academy?
"Ah...well, ah. Well. Good morning, good morning." But Sakura just reluctantly responded.
Although she was still very weak, it was clear that she was careless.
"Did something happen?" Hachiman asked after thinking about it for a moment.
"No, no, that..." Sakura-san shook her head repeatedly, then folded her hands on the table as if in a depressed mood, and then buried her face in them.
It's just that Hachiman was in this position as a camera, and Sakura was probably emotionally unstable.
There are tricks to just asking girls.
'So, I'll send a message to Kushida later to ask her to pay attention.'
She wants to be everyone's friend, and if she can solidify her goodwill with these friends, it could be regarded as a nice payment for her hard labour.
So, when it was lunch break, just like yesterday, the class went to the cafeteria to eat, leaving only Hachiman and Horikita.
___________
Her lunch is still delicious.
Opening the bento will make your appetite grow more than usual.
After Hachiman ate the rice balls he bought at the convenience store, he took out the camera he picked up yesterday.
"If it's lost and found, it would be better to send it to the Student council." Suzune, who was sitting next to him said, paying attention to his actions just like her brother told her to do.
"Why do you think it was something I picked up?" Hachiman asked.
"You don't look like you are interested in photography," Horikita said, while looking over at his face.
Don't look down on photographers!
Hachiman remembers an anime called Kaguya-sama Wants to Confess. The heroine is extremely wealthy, but her ideal in life is to become a photographer to record beauty.
And if he wants to take pictures, he can also record beauty.
When it comes to beauty, Hachiman said that when you come to this class, you will find it strange why there are so many beautiful girls.
And students like Suzune Horikita and Kushida, and even members of the Spice Girls group, Kei Karuizawa, Hasebe, and Matsushita, all have the value of being recorded.
Although Sakura-san tied her long pink hair into fluffy twintails with two hair ropes, she looked a bit old-fashioned.
But Hachiman thinks she's pretty cute, and wears glasses, isn't that right?
Some people will look handsome if they wear glasses or look ugly if they wear glasses.
'So, Sakura may also be one of those who seals her appearance with glasses.... '
'Generally speaking, the girls I met here were not like ordinary ones.
So if there is a camera to record beauty, then their appearance will be on the list.
As for outsiders, Hachiman only knows one.
As for Sakayanagi, although she is a bit younger, she is quite cute, and qualified to be recorded.
But if she knew that he was going to record her with a camera, she would definitely tease him severely.
In fact, apart from these girls, Hachiman would meet a beautiful girl with long golden-pink hair when he occasionally went to and from the dormitory.
The other person is cheerful and enthusiastic, but occasionally a little reckless.
But she has many friends. Very outgoing.
'So, if I want to use a camera to record, then.... give this classmate a place.'
Hachiman privately believes that her appearance is no worse than Horikita's.
"..." 'I must stop these dangerous thoughts.'
However, it was rare for Horikita to take the initiative to talk to him, so Hachiman decided to continue this rare conversation.
"I want to give it away," Hachiman said. "But this thing cannot be seen by others. If it is released, it will be a public execution."
??
Horikita ate lunch quickly today, and the dishes she brought were also changed, but they were equally delicious.
It was only the second day, but this Horikita classmate still ignored him in the classroom and did not show any humility.
Hachiman had given up hope. But he took out the black camera he picked up last night.
Because this kind of thing, maybe it would be better to let girls handle it.
"Don't make such a suspicious face," Hachiman defended himself, when he saw her looking at him weirdly, "I picked this up in the elevator!"
"Because I found someone stepped on it, I turned on the power out of curiosity to see if it was broken."
"Oh." There wasn't much response.
She didn't care too much originally, but Hikigaya was someone her brother recognized.
And her brother asked her to pay attention to Hikigaya, so she would also devote some of her thoughts to seeing what he was doing.
For example, the opponent who just passed by took the initiative to destroy the camera, and then deducted points, exposing the class evaluation score.
Probably because she feels that even if she told her classmates the essence of this school, they won't abide by it or even take it lightly.
So. The method of directly exposing the score was used to allow everyone to face such a situation in advance.
As for this operation, Horikita Suzune could not figure it out.
This classmate Hikigaya Hachiman brought something new to her.
Therefore, she has respect for this Hikigaya-kun.
So, Horikita thought he was doing something very meaningful again.
But.....After Hachiman turned on the power, what Suzune saw was a different environment, different outfits, and a selfie of a very beautiful girl with pink hair.
And most of the photos are quite revealing.
It's like...Hentai images. Hachiman also knows this person, this is Shizuku, who recently got famous in the magazine.
"I made a mistake." Suzune said immediately with a look of disgust "I thought you were different from ordinary boys!"
"The result." Then she began to look at him like he was trash.
"Hey, hey, hey!" Hachiman immediately realized that his reputation was being damaged.
"This is a camera I picked up. It's not my own. And if it's really my camera, then why would I put the photo in it? Wouldn't it be easier to put it inside my phone and use it as a wallpaper on the home screen?!!" Hachiman said quickly, trying to prove his innocence.
"... " Suzune's expression looked like, she didn't believe a single thing he just said. It looks like a criminal trying to spat random lies to protect himself.
But this is indeed an injustice. Because Hachiman's phone is really clean and doesn't have any strange pictures.
'After all, I was alone before. So, I don't use mobile phones that much, and I don't even have friends who can share numbers with me....
'Moreover, Komachi is also at home. It would be terrible if some bad things were installed on the mobile phone and let my sister learn bad things....'
So this is the mind of a brother. Only.
"Actually, this is not a bad photo." At this time, a voice sounded. It turns out that some students returned to the classroom early.
The other party has short blond hair and a cute face like an angel.
Kushida is kind to everyone.
Probably during the two consecutive lunch breaks, she noticed that Hachiman and Horikita Suzune did not go to the cafeteria, but stayed in the classroom, so she hurried over after lunch to continue spying on her enemy, who may know her dark history.
But, she actually noticed the camera Hachiman was holding.
"This is a girl's selfie." Kushida said, looking over at the photos "If you don't give it back to her, she will be very worried."
??
"From this morning, Sakura-san has been in a bad state." She said, finding it incredible that Hikigaya didn't notice, he usually stare at Sakura and bully her.
Everyone in the class knows that.
'Eh? Is it?' Hachiman thought about sending a message to Kushida to pay attention to Sakura. If there was any topic about girls, Kushida would be able to handle it easily.
As a result, he forgot about it for a while.
And because he needs to behave in a regulated manner, Hachiman himself is also forced to quit using his cell phone.
So, he forgot to send a message to Kushida.
"Then you are paying attention to Sakura's condition. She is indeed not in a good mood today." Hachiman said, slightly impressed with her observation skills.
"I was also wondering what happened, but it turns out you stole her camera!" Kushida said, with a straight face. She wasn't smiling anymore.
"?"
Hachiman looked at her strangely, "Don't frame me, Sakura's camera is pink. I have usually seen her using that camera to take pictures around the school."
"Hikigaya-kun is really paying attention to Sakura-san," Kushida said.
'Please call me Human Observer'
Most of his classmates in the class would not pay attention in the past, and Sakura's seat was so close, so naturally he observed her for a while.
"Although you said that she usually carries a pink camera, the black camera now does belong to Sakura-san." Kushida said firmly.
"Why?"
"Because these photos are her selfies. She puts the selfies in the camera, so they must be her own"
"And the cameras we usually use in school are probably just ordinary recording cameras."
"Sakura-san used to be a graphic model, so it's not strange at all to have two or three cameras." Kushida said, trying to show off her good communication skills.
oh. That's it. 'So this hentai girl is Sakura... Bah, are you saying this is her camera?!'
"Hey!" After getting this fact, Hachiman almost stood up directly.
because. Sakura-san's real face is Shizuku... 'Bah, is she actually really pretty under the glasses?!'
So his guess is correct. Glasses are the sealer of appearance.
Hachiman wondered if he should also buy some flat glasses and wear them, because his sister also said that his eyes were too dull.
Like a dead fish. 'So is it possible that, wearing glasses, I will become more handsome?'
