Almost immediately after receiving the email that seemed to be from the school, Chabashira-sensei called. But Kushida was still here, so Hachiman didn't ahe call immediately.
Instead, he pressed the button a a message to the other party saying that he was temporarily unavaible to answer and that he would tact her again ter. After doing all this, Hachiman turo look at Kushida, who blinked slightly a her cute look.
Although she looked at him curiously, but decided to keep her distance from him.
Rather say. Kushida just made a show of avoiding Hachiman when he was looking at his phone. She knows how to deal with people very well.
"Where do you want to go ?" Hachiman said, putting away his phone. "Eh? Hikigaya-kun, have you finished expl the school?" But Kushida was a little surprised, by this oute. ", I'm going to the shopping street to buy a toothbrush and other things. Also, it's time for dinner now," Hachiman told her about his future pns. The time was 12:30, and it was iime for lunch. "Moreover, I just discovered the school's exclusive software on my mobile phohe school forum. It seems that we only o ehe student ID number for real-name verification before eak."
"There are ordinary students, members of the Student cil, and even some faculty and staff members from the shopping arcade are also inside," Hachiman told her new information, to get this girl from stop being more curious about his issues. "Oh." Kushida just nodded, and then quickly picked up her phohen cli the forum software. She was busy unig with others and saving each other's phone number, so it's obvious she didn't have time to explore the tents of her phone. Watg Kushida's movements, Hachiman showed no expression. In fact, during the exploration of the first floor of the three grades just now, He obtained more intel and had relevant ideas, but before firmation, he did not think it was something that o be announced or was effective.
So, he just told the normal informatioioned on the forum. In fact, for people like Kushida whood at unication, they will probably know the role of this feature soon. So, when he proposed it now, it could be regarded as an ordinary loan of flowers to Buddha, as a reward to appease the other party for following him to search for information.
"..." Hachiman. Suddenly, he felt like he was a little shaken. Was this Kushida's inal goal?! "So Hikigaya-kun, are you going to eat first?" The said person, whose motives were being doubted by Hachiman, said after cheg her phone. "Almost." Hachiman agreed with her thinking, "Acc to the GPS on my pho takes close to 10 mio go to the shopping district, but it only takes 5 minutes for the cafeteria." 'In other words, is Hikigaya-kuype who sticks to the principle of proximity?' "So, do you want to have diogether?" Kushida theehe invitation.
??"..." Hachiman. 'What's happening here?' On the way here with Kushida, he kept trying to persuade himself to wake up and not be influenced by the other party. Don't let yourself waver!! Kushida wants to make friends with everyone, so she is a very demanding person, and maybe he is also within the scope of the other party.
So, don't waver, don't waver. As a result... Kushida... you seem to be really trying to quer me now. Why's this girl so so obsessed?!
'Is this kind of behaviour normal around here?! Hachima like he came to an incredible pce.
________
School teen. It was the first time for both of them to e here, but they found that the pce was very big and there were many sales windows.
Only. "Hikigaya-kun, I discovered that there are several windows where you don't have to pay points for food." Kushida came running after cheg out some strahings. "It seems that you only o queue up to receive it, and there's o swipe your student ID card either!" Her cheeks seemed to be puffed out very cutely. "This school is really good for the students. You still get relief after using up all the points!"
That's it. Hachiman also noticed this.It would be better to say that he went to see it on purpose.
But now, he is focused on the fifth window. And the staff moved out the words [Sold Out]. It means that the free package there is no longer avaible. And this windohen he was cheg the school forum in his dormitory, he found a free and easy-to-eat mountaiable set meal mentioned by a senior.
But it's actually sold out. In other words... there are many people in this school who o live on this free meal. Css D has the rgest number of seniors. 'So, it really is like that... The living expenses allocated by the school to students are subjee restris, and then... being a student in Css D will be miserable'
"...." Hachiman, who was born in Css D.
__________ The seals are delicious, but Hachiman feels like he 't taste them. And he khe reason, probably because he was eating with a very cute girl. However, Kushida did not tio act with him after the meal. Because she is also a busy person like Hirata, but instead of helping, a girl invited her to go shopping and buy supplies. So, the two separated at the fountain outside the shopping street. Kushida wanted him to go in first, and she wao wait for a while before entering the shopping street. 'This is very realistic, Kushida. Are you worried about being seen with me?'
But, Hachiman followed the map of the GPS that came with his phone and headed to the shopping street. As Chabashira-sensei said, the school requires all students to board, but it also provides corresponding facilities to ehat students will not be bored even if they stay here for three years. From ordinary electrical appliaores, family restaurants, Teppanyaki, Haidio, to shopping stores for various items, you find everything. In addition to one kind of store, there are more facilities for eating, drinking aertai in the Keyaki Shoppier in the middle of the shopping street. It's very popur with students. Hachiman walked into this tre but didn't buy anything. He just sat on the sofa to take some rest and observed the students going shopping. Sometimes he entered students wearing uniforms, but there are also many people who wear their own private clothes. In theory, these should be seniors. During holidays, they do not o wear school uniforms. but. He also find that some of these seniors are very generous. Bought something quite expensive. For example, gold pendants and bracelets. 'Some seniors ot afford to eat, while others spend money like water' Very iing picture. But for Hachiman, who was born in Css D, it was a little sighing. Because the more he observed, the more terrifying it became for Hachiman, on realising how bad it is to be assigo Css D. Thinking this, he noticed that a dozen students came up from the escator on the first floor.
All wearing student uniforms. There are sixteen students. The leader seemed to be a girl with short silver hair. She may not be in good health, and holding a bck e in her left hand. But she looks very cute. The pupils are clear and lively, the skin is fair and tender. In fact, it was just the moment when they saw each other. Very petite body. 'No, no, no, in lih the characteristics of limited mobility' One word immediately came to Hachiman's mind.
'Weak loli' She looks quite weak but her manners are quite elegant.
And this group of students has a weird vibe. There seemed to be a group of people surrounding the weak silver-haired girl. "Thanks to Sakayanagi-san, we were able to obtain such points and then found information that is crucial to us."
"No, I am just lucky!" The cssmate known as Sakayanagi seemed very modest.
"But we were stopped by the Student cil President, which is a bit regretful, otherwise our css would have gained more advantages." A student added.
"It's indeed a pity, but it's not good to pletely offend the uppercssmen," Then there was another burst of praise. The elevator arrived quickly. And Hachiman noticed that the weak silver-haired girl holding the e g him. But the other party quickly withdrew her gaze.
"..." Hachiman. Probably because he kept staring at her, he was regarded as a lolita trol.
Hachiman then withdrew his gaze and prepared to reply to the message to Chabashira-sensei.
_______
He was about to send an email to his homeroom teacher.
Let the other person know that he's now free.
However.
"Beep!" When he sent the message, the other party responded quickly. The specifiifestation is that the email sent by Hachiman is read in 2 seds. But Chabashira's reply seemed a bit unkind.
[I have some things to deal with and don't have time for the moment.
At eight o'clo the evening, go to the restis he artificial ke iudent dormitory. ] It seems that he ut off by the other party. She was very busy and didn't even have time to talk to him. However, if you look closely, you will find that it is very scary. Because if the other party is really busy, she will not read and reply immediately after he sends the message. You must know that even work matters have priorities, so Chabashira's current performance veys a sense ency.
'This is scary' Hachimahat his sixth sense was still good.
Wheiced that Chabashira-sensei's expression ged from a nont in the css to a more alert one, he felt that he was being targeted. And now it be firmed that he is being targeted. 'Does she like younger people?!' Just through observation for most of the day, Hachiman already found out that he's in a very terrible situation. Judging from the pitiful look of the seniors in Css D, it may be normal to be poor and have no living expenses.
In this way. Assisting Chabashira-seo iigate cssmates and create files, the cost-effectiveness of worth 200,000 suddenly became very high. And when it es to huge points. Hachiman clicked on the school forum and found that the post about the chess petition of the previously arrogant first-year student, Arisu Sakayanagi was missing. The seniors in Css D o relief food, but some seniors wear gold and silver. 'The gap between heaven ah'Therefore, maybe Arisu Sakayanagi from Css A has actually collected a huge amount of points.
And thinking about it.
"You will see hell soon!"
"Idiot!" A otion came from below on the first floor. Hachiman see the se on the first floor from the window on the sed floor. It was a tall boy with a red buzzcut who was ridiculed by two senior boys. And this tall boy, Hachiman, had an impression. This is a cssmate. It was when Hirata and Kushida were introdug themselves, the boy suddenly kicked the table and shouted, "Are you still a kid?" But still didn't left the room at the time. But, introduced himself when it was his turn. Indeed. This boy looks strong, but he seems to be just fier appeara weak i. Hachiman remembered that his name seemed to be Ken Sudo, that his specialty ying basketball, and wao join the same club of this high school.
"Don't run away if you have the guts!"Sudo shouted loudly. But the uppercssmen were long gone. But he still seemed to be in a bad mood, so he kicked dowic trash on one side.
The unhappily.
"..." Hachiman then tio tact his teacher. "Are there any cameras he artificial ke iudent dormitory?"
[There are no cameras there. It is one of the few pces in school where you have private meetings. ] by Chabashira.
'Camera? What about the shopping mall?' Of course, there was also one fag Sudo's position just now. So, Hachima downstairs and helped up the trash , that Sudo had kicked down.
"...." Ayanakoji. Puy got robbed.
He was just about to put away the trash, after finishing his monologue.
__________ Sihe agreed time was eight o'clo the evening, Hachiman chose to go shopping first. He has no experience of living outside, but what he has to say is that he went to Chiba Vilge to take nature csses when he was iary school. But now it is necessary to stay in one pce for a long time, three years. The dormitory has all the hardware facilities, so the only things he o buy are some basic daily ies. Simir to toiletries, toilet paper, pajamas, slippers, shel, shampoo, etc., there are many categories, not expe troublesome. There is only one shopping mall in the shopping district, but there are many affordable supermarkets and venieores. Hachimao one of them. Because this supermarket offers a point card, which be exged after a certain amount is accumuted.
It's really full of life. Except you pay in personal points instead of cash. ...
"So, it's time to go." Leaning on the chair, Hachiman looked at the arm clock pced beside him. The time is een fifteen. There are still 45 minutes left before the eight o'clock appoihat Chabashira-sensei made. And the distance is not very far, it is around the student dormitory, at the rest seats he artificial ke. Only one side of the dormitory faces the ke. When Hachimauro his room, carrying rge and small bags, he went there specifically to take a look. It takes less than 10 minutes from the dormitory. Very close. Moreover, it is very open and spacious. Although it is close to the artificial ke, it is surrounded by guardrails.
It is very safe and you feel the natural sery, only the wind is a bit strong there. So, most people won't choose to go there, but it bees a suitable pce to talk.
Only. Hachiman clicked on his phone. GPS. As long as you add each other as friends, you directly locate each other through this special feature. And now, Hachiman discovered that Chabashira-sensei was not very far away. Just to the northwest. And that dire is where Hachiman is going. That is to say."..." 'There are obviously still 45 minutes until the appoiime, but... Chabashira-sensei, you are already there' Hachiman realised, that something's really wrong with these people.
_________
Although he khat the teacher was in a hurry, Hachiman had no iion of keeping her waiting. He started running dowairs. Then within 6 minutes, he arrived at their destination. You see a woman wearing professional office attire leaning against the guardrail, her left hand raised as if she was holding a dy's cigarette. The other person is wearing high heels. She has long bck hair, but ties it into a single ponytail with a blue hairband, making her look extremely capable. Perhaps the other party heard the footsteps, Chabashira turned around and seemed to smile. This smile reminds Hachiman of a ing fox, a bit astri. 'Of course, this is not what a student should think' "Chabashira-sensei came a little early," Hachiman said seriously. "Didn't you e here early too?" Sae Chabashira decided to throw the question back. "...Haha--" X2 and both of them seemed to ugh. It's just that this is a funny joke. Both of them uood that what had just happened was actually a frontation, and it was still very anxious. Hachiman deliberately mentiohat the other party came so early to show that she was in a hurry, and Chabashira responded directly, saying she was eager to obtain the answers from him. In other words, don't tear it apart when things gets tough. "One day has passed." Chabashira said directly breaking the tension,"You should have some answers."
"..." Hachiman. "Yes, this school is indeed very different, and it seems to use css petition to mobilize student's enthusiasm."
"Oh?" Chabashira gently took down the cigarette, "Why do you say that?" "I went to the third grade teag building with Kushida." "Then I found that the figurations were all the same, a bulletin board and a small bckboard. Except for the fact that our first-grade student's small bckboard had no writing and was bnk.
But the ones for sed and third graders all have numbers. The pattern is the same, divided into ABd then a series of numbers." Hachiman started expining every sihing he found out, there's o hide it any longer. Chabashira just nodded calmly. There isn't much response, "So?" "I guess this is some kind of evaluation criteria obtained by the school on a css-by-css basis." Hachiman id out the bare facts. "I observed that the seniors of Css D 2nd grade, and Css d D rade are living a miserable life.
Also, the evaluation they received is very weak, Css D of the third grade only has 20 points. So, the living expehey get from the school for these evaluations must be very low. It's definitely not enough points," Hachiman shook his head, with a slight scared on his face.
It's not funny, because he's also riding in the same boat.
Chabashira still nodded slightly, her expression didn't ge. Even Hachiman was getting unsure about her silence.
'So... Css D really found a treasure this time' "Good insight." She pressed her cigarette against the railing, and offered Hachiman this money-making task, "Then I'll entrust you with the job of iigating the cssmates and piling their files."
'I've found the right person' "Payment is 200,000 yen for each student. You and Kushida went to explore the teag building together."
"Then you choose to create her file first." Chabashira was trying her best to hide her smile, and asked his thoughts instead, "Tell me your opinion of her?" "In this case..." Hachiman said. But his head did not rise. "Is there something unspeakable?" Sae didn't think, there was something wrong. "No." Hachiman shook his head in denial, "If you ask me to evaluate her....it's not very good."
Oh? Sae blinked her eyes, very curious. 'What does this little guy think? "Chabashira-sensei, you tell me first, is Kushida excellent in general aspects such as study and sports?" Instead of directly answering her question, Hachiman decided to firm his doubts first. "What do you mean?" She frowned her eyebrows, after hearing this statement. "If Kushida is good in these aspects, and also assisted Hirata iablishing a css group. The the taformation of most of our cssmates in such a short time....and also actively participated in the social iions." Hachiman listed, as if cheg those items one by one.
"These are all brilliant performances. But the more excellent this girl is...then I think she... m-maybe there is a big problem.
This problem is so big that once her problems are exposed, all of these good remarks will turn into shit," Hachiman's face looked grim, not even minding his nguage in front of a teacher.
Indeed, Kushida's value will be lost. Hence, her reason being thrown into a css full of 'defective products'.
