Chapter 395 Amasawa Ichika, do you want to press a handprint too?
"Stop asking. I couldn't sleep tonight, so I found classmate Amikura to come out and moonbathe with me." Hachigaya made up a random excuse.
"Is that so? How did you end up lying together while moonbathing?"
Amasawa Ichika sat on a tree branch, swinging her slender legs, her eyes full of playfulness as she continued to tease: "If I hadn't appeared to disturb you, were you two about to 'moonbathe' your butts?"
"I didn't…" Amikura Mako instinctively denied it, but the words were barely out of her mouth when she recalled that she actually had been moonbathing her butt just moments ago, and her face instantly became incredibly embarrassed.
Amasawa Ichika keenly sensed this, opening her eyes wide. Who knows what she was imagining in her head: "Could it be that you and her actually did it?"
"What we do has nothing to do with you, does it?" Hachigaya gave a side-glance with his dead fish eyes, his tone sardonic: "On the contrary, Amasawa-kouhai, you ran out in the middle of the night to meet that Housen, tsk tsk~ Your taste is really…"
"Hikigaya-senpai, you're so mean!" Amasawa Ichika immediately interrupted, lifting her hand to feign grievance as she rubbed the corners of her eyes: "You clearly know that I only like outstanding men like Hikigaya-senpai."
Once those words were out, Amikura Mako, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but be stunned, her face gradually showing a jealous expression. This guy is too popular with girls! Even a first-year kouhai is pestering him! No! I have to keep an eye on Hikigaya-kun for Honami!
"This kouhai, please watch your language." Amikura Mako said righteously: "Frivolous language is contrary to the reputation of Class A!"
"Pfft~ senpai is really serious." Amasawa Ichika's eyebrows curved, still unrestrained: "It's a pity that Hikigaya-senpai likes the wild ones."
"You, how can you say such things… that's so shameless!" Amikura Mako backed away repeatedly; having been a well-behaved girl since she was small, where would she have ever heard such dirty language?
"Amikura, you should go back and rest first." Hikigaya patted her shoulder, his tone feigning sternness: "As the Chairman of the Public Morals Committee, I need to discipline students who exhibit improper behavior!"
"Alright, then be careful, Hikigaya-kun." Amikura Mako believed him and left obediently.
"Amikura-senpai is truly innocent." Watching her retreating back, Amasawa Ichika changed the subject, looking him up and down with great interest: "I wonder how Hikigaya-senpai plans to 'discipline' me?"
"Enough, Amasawa, let's talk about serious matters." Hikigaya didn't want to mess around with her: "You specifically led Housen to my side and secretly leaked the intel that they were planning to move against me. What is your goal?"
"Amazing! Since when did Hikigaya-senpai figure it out?" A flash of surprise crossed Amasawa Ichika's eyes. Actually, when she was secretly scouting the D6 base earlier, she had accidentally bumped into Hikigaya and Amikura Mako alone under the moonlight, and a plan formed in her mind. She deliberately led Housen Kazuomi to this location, and by using their conversation, she conveyed the information to Hikigaya, who was lurking in the shadows, without anyone noticing.
"…"
Hikigaya responded calmly: "Besides, I don't believe it would be such a coincidence in the middle of the night."
Amasawa Ichika asked in return: "Then why doesn't Hikigaya-senpai guess again: what is my purpose in helping you?"
"You want to escape from the White Room?"
"…"
Amasawa Ichika was completely stunned, an expression of disbelief appearing on her face: "Why… does Hikigaya-senpai know so much?"
"Uh, guessed it?" Hikigaya was vague. In reality, this was something he learned from his dreams—that Amasawa Ichika was planning to escape the White Room.
"That's not something you can just know by guessing, right?" Amasawa Ichika narrowed her eyes slightly. The playful expression from just before faded, and her gaze suddenly became sharp: "To actually pry into the most important secret a girl is hiding, Hikigaya-senpai, you really have a wicked hobby."
She stepped forward and poked his chest firmly with her finger: "What should we do? Such a big piece of blackmail material has fallen into Hikigaya-senpai's hands. I'm feeling super uneasy now!"
"Then what do you want?" Hikigaya asked.
"Please, Hikigaya-senpai, voluntarily hand over your own blackmail material." Amasawa Ichika reached out toward him with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Hikigaya was taken aback when he heard this, thinking to himself: Why does this scene seem so familiar? It was not long after he started school; he was taking a walk by the lake and accidentally bumped into Kushida Kikyo kicking a railing. He had learned the true face of the so-called "Angel
Kushida." To prevent him from exposing her secret, Kushida Kikyo grabbed his hand and pressed it firmly against her own chest to leave a handprint…
"Amasawa-kouhai, how about I press a handprint on you too?"
"Huh? Press a handprint? What kind of move is that…" Amasawa Ichika felt it was baffling when she heard this.
"Isn't that what you said? That you want me to hand over my own leverage." Hikigaya raised his palm, spread his five fingers, and waved them in front of her: "As long as I press my palm against the clothes on your chest, it will leave fingerprints. Afterward, you can report me to the school for molesting you… wouldn't that give you the leverage?"
"…"
Amasawa Ichika's head was covered in black lines, staring at him with unfriendly eyes: "Hikigaya-senpai, are you treating me like an idiot?
Not to mention how long fingerprints can last on polyester fabric.
Even if I take a step back and assume there are fingerprints, they don't prove anything.
With Hikigaya-senpai's prestige at school, you could completely refute me, claiming it was me who voluntarily shoved my chest into your hand!"
The logic is simple. For an ordinary male student, as long as there are his fingerprints on a girl's clothes, everyone will default to believing he molested her! But if the other party is a renowned student whose strength is widely recognized, and crucially, someone who is never short of beautiful girls around him—in that case, who would believe that he would go out of his way to molest someone?
"What kind of person with a broken brain would come up with such a stupid strategy?" Amasawa Ichika suddenly raised an eyebrow, as if she suddenly remembered something: "Wait? Hikigaya-senpai, you just said 'also' press a handprint on you…
This sounds like someone else has tried this before."
This guy… her thinking is too sharp!
"Who is it? Tell me, which stupid woman did that?" Amasawa Ichika puffed out her chest proudly: "Does that woman have a bigger one than mine?"
Hikigaya glanced at it, estimating that the quality should be a D-cup. However, in terms of exact measurements, Kushida Kikyo's should be slightly larger.
