In the quiet classroom, Chabashira Sae stood expressionlessly at the podium, teaching history.
Mido Ouketsu and Kujou were… The dismissal bell rang not long after.
Ichinose’s beautiful figure appeared at the back door of Class D.
“Hikigaya-kun, want to go to the student council together?” “Yeah.” Ichinose grabbed his arm, and Hikigaya walked out of the classroom amidst the envious and jealous gazes of his male classmates.
In the hallway, they also drew the scrutinizing stares of most students.
“I want to die.” “You shouldn’t say such unlucky things,” Ichinose said with a cheerful smile.
“Hikigaya—kun.” When Ichinose grabbed his arm, and they stepped into the student council room together, Horikita Manabu remained calm.
However, Tachibana Akane suddenly stood up, “Hikigaya, how could you do this!
You can’t play with girls’ feelings like Nagumo.” Tachibana Akane thought Hikigaya was getting close to Ichinose to spite Nagumo.
Her little cheeks puffed out.
“I’m not that bad,” Hikigaya said, meeting Horikita Manabu’s scrutinizing gaze.
“Ichinose and I recently formed an alliance.” The implication was that they weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend in the true sense.
Most of the boys in Class B, and some of the girls, clearly stated they only wanted Ichinose to be their leader.
But Ichinose lacked the confidence to meet her classmates’ expectations and advance to Class A.
However, seeing their trusting eyes, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.
Taking the approach of wanting both had a price, so she had done something out of line last night.
“I wouldn’t mind if it became real, but unfortunately, Hikigaya-kun doesn’t agree.
Still, I think I’m starting to like him.” Even though she had made a move last night, Hikigaya hadn’t even hugged her back.
He had readily agreed to her unreasonable request and then sent her away.
Hikigaya had already agreed to help her from behind the scenes even if he didn’t transfer to Class B, in exchange for thirty million private points and her generally listening to him.
The nominal boyfriend and girlfriend status was just an excuse for Hikigaya to interfere in Class B’s affairs.
Since Hikigaya was Ichinose’s boyfriend, his helping Ichinose was only natural.
“Tch, scumbag,” Tachibana Akane spat and sat down, her face red.
Ichinose’s bold statement made her a little envious.
*I’m a scumbag.* Hikigaya thought, feeling depressed.
*Ichinose is here today, and she’ll probably have to take the day off.* His current body was still a virgin, and he couldn’t suppress his urges.
Yesterday, before his body reacted, he hadn’t had time to think much before agreeing to Ichinose’s request.
Although he now controlled Class B, Ichinose was a placeholder in between.
He could only influence Class B through her.
The thought of attending a Class B party tonight as Ichinose’s boyfriend made his stomach hurt.
Not long after Hikigaya and Ichinose sat down next to Tachibana Akane, Nagumo Miyabi also sat down in a chair opposite them with his student council followers.
“Hikigaya, you’re quite the hidden talent.” “Not really.
Maybe it’s my good character.
After all, there are no rumors of me having multiple girlfriends.” Nagumo Miyabi pushed aside his blonde bangs, looking slightly upset.
“When did Ichinose become yours?
You hid it too well.” After bringing Ichinose into the student council, his original intention was for her to compete with Hikigaya.
He had even given up his student council position to elevate her status.
And Ichinose was popular and beautiful; he had originally planned to create an opportunity to get her later and have fun with her.
Now, Ichinose had defected at lightning speed on her first day.
He, Nagumo Miyabi, had lost face.
“Guess what?” Hikigaya chose the most annoying tactic.
Nagumo Miyabi immediately lost his composure.
“Am I a child?
Guessing!” “In the eyes of the president and me, you’re a child who will never grow up,” Hikigaya said, staring straight at Nagumo Miyabi, speaking word by word with seriousness.
Just based on Nagumo Miyabi expelling Tachibana Akane with underhanded tactics after becoming student council president, Hikigaya wanted to slap them both.
Nagumo didn’t consider the consequences.
If Tachibana Akane had truly been expelled, her life might have plunged into an abyss.
The outside world wasn’t kind to expelled students.
He had used tens of millions of points to buy Class 3-B’s expulsion of Tachibana Akane and lost Horikita Manabu’s trust.
Nagumo Miyabi did this solely because he wanted to see Horikita Manabu’s angry face.
Man, twisted people are scary.
“Come talk to me after you’ve taken control of the first years.” “Do I have to learn how to cook to comment on whether the food is good?” Hikigaya wasn’t backing down in their verbal spar with Nagumo Miyabi.
“Confusing concepts.” Nagumo Miyabi picked up his pen and started working.
As the loser today, he knew that if he continued talking, he would look even more like a clown.
Revenge is a dish best served cold; he wouldn’t forget Hikigaya.
“Ichinose, introduce yourself.
You can learn the student council duties from Tachibana first,” Horikita Manabu said, stepping in to clean up the mess after the verbal battle.
“Yes,” Ichinose stood up gracefully.
“I am Ichinose Honami from Class 1-B, and the girlfriend of the secretary next to me, Hikigaya.
Please take care of me.” Amidst Tachibana Akane’s applause, sparse claps slowly began to fill the student council room.
… “Sorry, I ate something wrong just now, and my stomach hurts.
I need to go back to the dorm,” Hikigaya said, bending over.
After finishing student council duties and eating with Ichinose in the cafeteria, the original plan was to meet Ichinose’s classmates at karaoke.
However, Hikigaya didn’t want to go today, tomorrow, or the day after.
“Then shall I just ask Mako Kanzaki and the others to gather at your dorm?” “…The pain suddenly stopped just now.” “Mako and the others aren’t monsters, you know.” “Think about it!
I’ll definitely be questioned by them, and maybe your male classmates will ambush me.” “You can’t run away,” Ichinose said, directly hugging Hikigaya’s entire arm and forcefully pulling him to their destination.
Three guys and three girls were already sitting in the karaoke booth.
“Good evening, everyone.” “Good evening, Honami-chan.” “Good evening.” After the greetings, Ichinose introduced everyone from Class B.
The girls were Amikura Mako, Kobashi Yume, and Shiranami Chihiro.
The boys were Kanzaki Ryuji, whom he knew, and Shibata Sou and Watanabe Ninorihito, whom he didn’t.
“Good evening, everyone.
I’m Hikigaya Hachiman.” After his introduction, Ichinose… Had already been pulled into the group of girls.
Hikigaya, being sensible, sat down next to Kanzaki Ryuji in the group of boys.
“If I find out you’re threatening Ichinose-san, I won’t let you off,” Kanzaki Ryuji whispered a warning in his ear as soon as Hikigaya sat down.
As someone who had always been by Ichinose Honami’s side, he knew clearly that Hikigaya and Ichinose had very little interaction.
Their sudden status as boyfriend and girlfriend had to be suspicious.
