Dormitory Building.
On the other side, the girls' dormitory.
Sakayanagi Arisu's room was different from the impression she gave; the entire room was decorated in pink, with various cute stuffed animals placed on the bed and windowsill.
"Dammit."
Kamuro Masumi stomped hard on the belly of a large gray bear, immediately making Sakayanagi, who was beside her, feel a bit distressed. This was her favorite plush toy.
"What on earth happened?"
"Dammit."
Kamuro Masumi was about to explode with anger: "It's that Hikigaya. What is up with him? He hasn't left his room once. How am I supposed to follow him?"
As she spoke.
Kamuro Masumi got angrier.
Under Sakayanagi Arisu's arrangements, she was to follow Hachiman and look for opportunities.
However.
This bastard.
He didn't even leave his room during spring break. The only time he went out was to see off his senior.
He made her wait in the fire escape for several days in vain.
Not stepping a foot outside.
Where exactly did this shut-in young lady come from?
It was too infuriating.
Even her own vacation was wasted.
"Hmm?"
Sakayanagi Arisu said with some surprise: "He really never went out?"
"He only went out for a bit today."
Kamuro Masumi sat angrily at the low table, took a sharp gulp of hot cocoa, and then smiled in extreme anger:
"It was just to see that Horikita Manabu off the campus. The whole thing didn't even take an hour. Once it was over, he immediately rolled back to his room. There wasn't even a chance for contact."
As she spoke.
Kamuro Masumi was almost driven to laughter.
Does that guy have gold in his room? He doesn't even have a bit of free time?
"That's impossible, right?"
Sakayanagi Arisu furrowed her brows, keenly sensing something was wrong.
"Then how does he solve his meals?"
"Probably Ichinose is handling it for him."
Kamuro Masumi said with a bit of a sneer: "The day before yesterday, I specifically waited until midnight. Aside from buying things, Ichinose never left his room."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Sakayanagi Arisu said playfully: "Are those two dating?"
"Probably."
Kamuro Masumi said indifferently: "What do you plan to do next? That guy won't even leave his room, so there's no point in following him~"
"Hmm..."
Sakayanagi Arisu rubbed her temples.
He doesn't even leave his room.
They can't even meet. The room door is guarded tightly.
Any plan is futile.
This was the first time Sakayanagi Arisu had encountered such a guy; it was truly a bit difficult to start with.
But.
It's fine.
Although Hachiman has good risk management and high alertness, he has one huge weakness.
That is, he has zero interest in those he isn't close with!
He can't even recognize all his own classmates, let alone anyone else.
"Keep following him. There will be an opportunity."
A sharp light flashed in Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes.
"I don't believe he won't have a moment alone. When the opportunity comes, you can first make contact with Hiki-kun."
"Huh?"
Kamuro Masumi immediately glared at Sakayanagi: "Did you not hear what I just said? He and Ichinose are dating. What would I do making contact? You're not thinking of having me steal Ichinose's boyfriend, are you?"
Her heart skipped a beat.
As she spoke.
Kamuro Masumi's heart was pounding.
Although the fact that Hachiman took the fall for Ichinose did make her a bit envious, and she even thought Hachiman was quite a good person.
If Hachiman were to confess to her.
It wouldn't be impossible to try dating for a while.
After all.
Hachiman isn't bad.
He's handsome, and his personality seems quite good and responsible.
Trying it out wouldn't be a problem.
But there are many men like that in the world.
She didn't have any special interest in Hachiman.
Mainly.
At the thought of stealing Ichinose's boyfriend, if people found out, she would definitely be despised by the entire school; Kamuro Masumi's heart skipped a beat.
Although it couldn't be called a crime.
But it was truly too immoral.
How could she do such a thing?
"I didn't say that."
Feeling Kamuro Masumi's fierce gaze, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled playfully:
"I'm just telling you to take the opportunity to first make contact with him, however."
As she spoke.
Sakayanagi Arisu shifted her tone, looking Kamuro Masumi up and down.
"That said, I feel like you and Hiki-kun would actually get along quite well."
"Huh?"
Kamuro Masumi slammed the table, quickly stood up, and sneered:
"What 'make contact'? Aren't you just trying to have me be a mistress for that guy Hachiman? I'm telling you, in your dreams."
"I'm not doing this. Go find someone else."
"Is that so."
Sakayanagi Arisu didn't care.
The first time they met, Kamuro Masumi was shoplifting in a convenience store—stealing alcohol that was only permitted for adults to buy.
Furthermore, Kamuro Masumi didn't have a habit of drinking.
She just purely wanted to experience the thrill of sin; strictly speaking, she had a tendency to seek excitement.
Even.
Strictly speaking.
It wasn't that she was guiding Kamuro Masumi, but rather that Kamuro Masumi was guiding her.
A good person who couldn't become a bad person.
What she needed.
Was merely a reason she could accept, even if it were a poor reason, it didn't matter.
"Kamuro-san."
Sakayanagi Arisu adjusted her posture and said with a smile:
"This is very important for whether we can graduate from Class A. Just for the sake of Class A and for me, could you please endure it a bit?"
Kamuro Masumi's expression turned extremely sour, clearly struggling internally. She gritted her teeth and looked at Sakayanagi Arisu, saying:
"You guy, retribution will come for you sooner or later."
"No matter."
Sakayanagi Arisu looked at Kamuro in front of her and laughed indifferently:
"However, I'm not lying. At least in my eyes, you and Hachiman are indeed very suitable. Perhaps, in the future, Kamuro-san, you might even be grateful to me."
"Dream on."
Kamuro Masumi gave her an even more disdainful look: "Aren't you just seeing Katsuragi and the others making a comeback and wanting to continue taking them down? Who are you trying to fool with such nice words?"
"I won't deny it."
Sakayanagi Arisu's gaze was sharp: "Recently, Katsuragi and the others have indeed been a bit of an eyesore."
"Heh."
Kamuro Masumi gave a sneer and returned to the main topic: "However, with that guy Hachiman not going out, I really have no options."
"Keep following."
Sakayanagi Arisu said with a bit of frustration.
She didn't believe in this.
No matter how hard the turtle shell, there will always be a moment a weakness is exposed.
As for Ichinose?
To be honest.
She didn't expect Hachiman and Ichinose to suddenly start dating.
It was indeed a bit surprising.
But.
Sakayanagi Arisu didn't care about those things. These geniuses being able to bring her pleasure was their greatest value.
And it was her, Sakayanagi Arisu's, greatest enjoyment.
At the same time, she could strike at Class C.
It was like killing two birds with one stone.
No.
Depending on the situation, it might even be three birds with one stone. Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes shifted as she became even more expectant of the new semester.
Thinking they could restrict her like this?
Dream on!
"You're ruthless."
Kamuro Masumi looked at her with disdain and turned to leave the room.
In front of Sakayanagi Arisu.
Kamuro Masumi felt that she was the kind one.
For Class A.
She had no other choice.
At the thought of this.
Kamuro Masumi felt even more excited.
