The only thing Hachiman wanted to do, was to borrow a textbook from Ichinose and look at the key points of their class preparations.


Because the exam has to be repeated, and in order to avoid a large number of students dropping out, the school can only make the papers as close as possible to the usual content that was taught in the class.
 
So, his actions make sense, and that's why Ichinose brought her own book here specially.

Hachiman didn't know if it was an illusion, but she placed the textbook in front of his desk.

Probably because he was sitting relatively close, Ichinose's faint fragrance lingered on the book.
 
Only when separated. “Although there is a channel that.... I really want to help... But I think it's very effective to look at the key points of each class,”
Ichinose said hesitantly, and then  showed her usual sunny smile again.
  
Some people say that this girl is like an Archangel, descended from heaven. She is a cheerful girl with, no negative comments about her body.

Her popularity is even more bright than Kushida's which almost made her go bald, for tearing her bangs out in frustration, but in Hachiman's case, she is a pure good person.
  
Because judging from the arrangements and work for this exam, their class actually put in a lot of effort.

But....'There was something wrong with her words!' They needed to be analyzed.
  
She already has the channel to take this exam, and also wants to help Class C, but for some reason....yeah.

'Can't do it? Got blocked?' At the same time.
  
She knew that the questions in this paper were... a combination of the usual class contents of the four classes. That is to say. 'The news was leaked'
 
Sakayanagi didn't have much interest in Class B, so she was the only one among the four classes who didn't know the test questions. 'So, where did Ichinose get this information?'

If it's not Sakayanagi or Ryuen's class, then the person who knows the test paper..."Then are we going to lend you our key points?" Hachiman asked tentatively, looking at her facial expressions with his rotten eyes.
  
"Ah... um... yes." Before Ichinose could reply, Kanzaki decided to open his mouth for some reason. 'Girls are born liars and extremely good at acting, just take a look at  Karuizawa and Kushida, but boys are.....'

Hachiman knows this very well, he wasn't good at acting, or in fact most of the boys are like that. 'I couldn't even hide my pocket money from Komachi, when she wanted to buy that expensive looking hair clip' 

To be honest, he just gave it away without a second thought, wanted to treat his sister well.....he really adores her. Of course, Hachiman couldn't refuse her, who was an experienced human camera.
  
And he immediately realized that Kanzaki seemed to be trying to hide something. So, that was it. 'As expected, Class B knew the answers and content of this exam, but they couldn't tell others'

And Sakayanagi is not that stupid, so the news can definitely be kept secret.

The students in Hachiman's class were unreliable, but due to their newfound hope......And experiencing those painful hits, even those Npc's were not so quick to communicate with other classes. 'But, now Ichinose knows.....So that means... there is indeed a ghost in the student council' 

Someone betrayed Horikita-nii's University, and directly leaked their paper. 'What a fearless guy, wants to gain Class B's favour?'

And this person... 'Nagumo Miyabi, what're you doing? Aren't you the Vice-president of the student council?'

'Back-stabbing.....'  “So, what?! Do you want me to do nothing and let my chair go away?!' He wants to steal Manabu's chair. Very comfy, people can massage their butt on it, the whole day.

That is to say. The other party started to interfere with Class B of the first grade. Either he wants to get Class B's votes, or... attack Sakayanagi using foreign hands?

So, this is her fault, right? Class B is again the target of Class C, where Hachiman is... um... the alliance class.
  
'It's going to blow up....And we can't just fall into the hands of a bad senior!'
However, the test paper has been reported once.

Any further whistle blowers will be invalid, and it's even possible that the student council chose to file a complaint on your head.

And this is the result of Sakayanagi, and Hachiman is not willing to do such a thing to someone.... who usually treats him to dinner.

'At the same time, if I did this beautiful thing, my class......I'm afraid they won't be able to survive any longer'
 
But just watching Nagumo deceive his benefactor, and Sakayanagi's actual results being used by him instead? 'I always feel a little uncomfortable inside'

"Then thank you." Hachiman decided to end this conversation here, there's no point in wasting his time further.
  
“But Ichinose, I will send you an email later at about eight o'clock in the evening. Please deal with it quickly.”

"Eh?" She looked over gently. 'What does this mean?' Ichinose was really confused about this strange re-
  
"It's a request," Hachiman just stole the word I was about to type, but let's just ignore it.

Because it's not surprising...anymore.
  
'In other words, is Hikigaya-kun going to trouble me at night?' But I don't understand the reason for doing this. Especially after this meeting? Don't tell me he realised...So, Ichinose just chose to nod her head gently."Although I can't help with this exam, I want  everyone to work hard!”

_______________

At eight o'clock in the evening.

"???" "Hikigaya-kun!" Ichinose-san cried his name, loudly. Those weird noises were coming from her dorm, but there was a girl, who was still fooling around in the corridor......

“....” Himeno Yuki. She was just coming back from a night stroll. But then heard someone moaning out loud, and it came from a girl's room.

It was Ichinose's dormitory. Himeno obviously knew it, she went inside there so many times, for taking part in those....stupid parties that just never seem to end. It always gave her a migraine. But now. 

         ??
“....” Himeno Yuki was stunned. And it was obviously a boy's name. It sounded like someone was panting heavily.....obviously doing hard work?

______________

Actually, she was just calling Hachiman. The two had agreed before that he would ask her for help in the evening. But, Ichinose decided to call herself. 'Her voice on the phone is really nice though'

'But this girl must be quite surprised, right?' Because the email Hachiman sent her was not a request, but... a photo of a test paper that he got for free from Sakayanagi, "Our class has formed an alliance, so it's obvious that I'll help you.”

This sentence immediately makes her feel quite guilty. "That's it-" Even her voice sounded longer than usual, but Hachiman wasn't the one to complain.

'Of course, I won't do it!' 

“Arigato Gozaimasu....” But this also shows that this girl is a very simple person.

And that jerk, Nagumo probably used the paper to make a deal with them, and although Ichinose and the others could accept it, they couldn't share the paper with the students of Class C.
  
But in contrast, Hachiman was willing to share his juice with her, which evoked the feeling of utter shame in Ichinose's heart.  'And, this is an emotion that only kind people can have'

"See, I obviously told you that I'm a good girl! But you didn't believe me, and even tried to cut me off?! Shut up, you stupid cunt, our 8-man was not talking about you!

“....” Kushida-san. If this girl's like this, then....is there a danger of Ichinose being an atom bomb? But it shouldn’t be possible. Hachiman thought to himself.
  
Probably because he felt flattered about being called by a super pretty girl.
  
It was a bit hot at night, so Hachiman was going to go downstairs to get some fresh air, just in time to drink his fav. max coffee.

In this way. He left the student dormitory and prepared to go to the crime scene, where Horikita-san was executed.... creating a dark shadow over her heart.

Only. Hachiman stood in front of the vending machine, just about to order coffee, but found Kushida-san, who was on his friends list.... the GPS on the phone screen...'Um? What's she doing outside this late?'

Moreover, it was that railing of the lake where no camera was around. He was really familiar with this place, directly getting employed. 'Maybe it's a confession or something?' Kushida is very popular after all.
  
'But, at this time.....I don't think it's appropriate.....And there's even no camera around here!

'What if the boy couldn't accept the hard truth about not being good enough or something?' Hachiman didn't want to lose a hard-working girl like Kushida-san.

With this thought in mind, he headed to the railing of the lake. 'Then, I saw a bomb named Kushida!

_____________

Considering that she is a partner for his promotion, and it's also quite difficult to find someone who can help the people in his class.

'And if either Hirata or Kushida, who are basically the glue of the class, got expired for some reason.........then I'm afraid, it would turn into a huge blunder? Therefore, Hachiman is quite protective of these two people, especially Kushida-san, even though she was always given low wages by her boss.

'It would be really bad if anything happens! Hachiman went to the railing of the lake where no one had come, and met Chabashira-sensei
several times before.

That place is famous among a few people because it is secluded. No cameras around here, nut Hachiman was just built different.

Therefore, if something happens, it will be very troublesome. 'It’s hard to call for help too because there’s no one around'

'No, wait a moment! Could it be that I'm just having those persecutory delusions again?! However, Kushida-san is indeed very cute, and Hachiman feels that there are many people who like her.

She shows kindness to ordinary people like him, and guys with lonely personality will be very fond of her.
  
'Then, isn't she really in danger?' With this thought in mind, Hachiman immediately took action.

After all, besides doing hard labour,  the other person is also a classmate, so he can't just ignore everything.

______________
  
Most places inside Advanced Nurturing High School are equipped with surveillance cameras, even on the corridor of girl's dormitories.
  
But there are also a few shady places, like back-alleys, and there are no cameras on the floor where boys live.
  
More examples such as Outside the apartment, through a green lawn and woods, the boundary of the school,
  
The sea, and the location where this school is located is an artificial island.

The edges are neatly trimmed and surrounded by guardrails to prevent anyone from falling accidentally.
  
Many times, students choose to walk near the guardrail and lean on it to look at the sea.

Or across the sea, looking at the city, which is only a few kilometers away.

In fact, Hachiman has always felt that this distance is nothing, even though there are two bridges with a span of several thousand meters connecting ANHS and Tokyo.

But in fact, students here can jump into the sea and swim back home....

'Well, of course, no one would ever choose to do that.....Ah-no, I think that weirdo could probably do it' Hachiman reflected on his thoughts, after scanning through the faces of his classmates. Koenji Rokusuke, this name is very popular in the class.
  
But, there are neatly trimmed trees planted on both sides of the road, and street lights ten meters apart.

The ground is paved with beautifully carved stone paths, and there are two-seater wooden benches with metal armrests for people to rest on.
  
If you look forward, the stone road turned into a wooden floor with a width of two meters. 'I have to say that the school has really gone to the extreme in terms of these details.'

In addition, the money is really well spent. Too rich.
  
"Click-click-click-" Hachiman walked along the coast guardrail in the direction of the dormitory, but only halfway there, there was a muffled sound, with the unique crisp of.... metal? 'It seems that someone was deliberately damaging the railing? What's going on?'
  
'Could it be that there was some action that required a struggle?' Hachiman began to walk there quickly.
  
But soon, he stopped again.
  
Hachiman could clearly see Kushida on the railing under the light of the street lamp.

But it wasn't that something happened to her, she was the only one there.

And. 'She was… secretly venting to the railing? Did she finally choose to explode? Kushida has short, ear-length hair and is quite pretty.

It's just.... that her current behavior is not pretty at all.

Because. At this time, she was raising her right leg and kicking the railing as hard as a violent maniac without any ladylike temperament.

Just looking at her appearance, one would never imagine that she would have such strength. And she also kicked very hard.
  
Of course, from this perspective, Kushida didn't care at all that she was exposed. 'I didn't expect her to be so mature!' She has already lost her sense of shame a long time ago.

Obviously no problem, doing things like these in public. And just kicked the railing to vent her emotions.

"That bitch Horikita!"
  
"You are so arrogant all day long because you are pretty and have good grades. Do you think everyone will like you?"

"How hard I have worked to become friends with her, but she still didn't even look at me!"

"If I want to be friends with her, do I always have to obey her?"
  
"What a gift!"
  
"Why don't Horikita just die! Die, die, die!"

"Just go fuck yourself with that compass!”
  
"Bitch, that bitch Horikita..."

'This just sounds like a couple fight to me, where the other party felt ignored.....'

“....” Hachiman. He started thinking stupid things again, while A girl was busy assaulting the railing hard while speaking such attractive words, that could actually make people think otherwise. 'I was almost deceived!'

Her originally cute face also had a twisted and ferocious expression, as if she had completely turned dark.

And this state is completely different from usual. 'If someone sees her like this, I'm afraid everyone in Class C, or even the whole school, will collapse, right?'

'After all, the angel-like white lotus girl who they usually admire and have a crush on.... is actually this kind of person.'

[My goal is to become friends with everyone here. ]
  
[It's too much. There's no purpose. I just want to be friends with Horikita-san. ]
  
[Hikigaya-kun, I want to have a good relationship with Horikita-san. Can you help? ]

[Good morning, Horikita-san~]
  
Thinking about the gentle words that the girl usually said with a sweet smile but combined with her current state, there is no doubt that this is a huge contrast.

The gap between angel Samael and the Devil Lucifer, was immediately felt.

Not very cute. If others saw it, they would probably just feel disgusted...

Because people always long for beauty in their hearts, and once their darkness is exposed, they will be cast aside.

Just like a good person who does countless amazing things but inadvertently makes a bad mistake.

But a scum, who always commits atrocious things, but then decides to become an Anti-hero. Just take a look at Loki's huge fan-following.

'People will always subconsciously tolerate the latter and treat the former like dirt. Not even worth spitting on......'
 
And for Hachiman. 'As an observer of human beings, I have long understood that Kushida is a bomb that will explode at any time....
  
But now, that he has seen it. He felt like.......It was a huge let down.

Indeed, although it looks very surprising, that Kushida was a hypocritical person, with a bad habit of complaining behind people's backs.

(Even wishing them to go die or fuck herself!)

But, it should be understood that there are very few or almost non-existent people who truly serve others.

Although, Hachiman has never met such a person so far. But he does not deny that such holy beings may really exist.
  
However, most people want something. 'So, what about this Kushida-san?' Hachiman doesn't think she is absolutely kind, but if she still shows that....fake attitude in daily life, then definitely accumulate a lot of emotions.

Result, she's venting now. But he didn't think it was any different from his own deskmate, Horikita, who also had a bad habit of blabbering noisy complaints about Karuizawa and the others.

It's just.... She had a bold attitude of launching her insults straight to their face, instead of being petty like....... Kushida-san.

Hachiman even thought.... that girl with a cold mouth would probably look down on this little angel for being an insincere bitch.

'This is... let's just say it's normal behavior for both of them!' Hachiman has already accepted this painful fact, that most people in this school, whether they are staff members or students.......a bunch of freaks.

Only. “Horikita is really a victim, here," He shook his head slightly, not knowing what to say.

No one knew that girl better than him, and Hachiman knew......she didn't know about the person behind the strike in her junior high school.

So, Kushida has nothing to worry about her history being disclosed.

Because she has always faced others with her own attitude of offending every single individual she had a conversation with, including Kushida.

Result. Now being cursed...like this.

It's a bit pitiful.
