As soon as he spoke.
Hikigaya saw the scene before him.
Ike Kanji and the others were pointing at Ichinose's nose and cursing.
Sudou Ken stood to the side with an unpleasant expression, tugging at their arms. Rather than thinking the cursing was too harsh, he seemed more concerned about not causing trouble.
Even just by listening to the curses, one could roughly determine Ike Kanji and the others' intent.
However.
Hikigaya still pulled a student beside him and asked.
"What happened?"
"Just now..."
Realizing it was Hikigaya, the student with the ugly expression explained what had just happened.
This matter was truly hard to intervene in.
What Ike Kanji and the others said was the truth. Even if they wanted to help, they felt a bit guilty.
The school strictly prohibited improper relationships between males and females; they usually just turned a blind eye. If it were brought to the school authorities, they would have even less ground to stand on.
"I see."
After listening.
Hikigaya nodded while watching the corridor.
Ichinose and Himeno Yuki were probably experiencing this kind of naked malice for the first time. Ordinary people would usually have some reservations.
The two of them huddled their shoulders, looking exceptionally frail.
However.
Ichinose had already solved the class issue and successfully persuaded Ando Sayo and the others.
So.
He should leave the outside matters to him.
Although Ike Kanji and the others were clearly not good people, they were actually quite easy to deal with.
"Sigh."
Hikigaya walked up behind Ichinose and Himeno Yuki and let out a sharp, piercing sigh.
He rarely interacted with people before.
Because of that, he understood very well how to communicate using tone and demeanor.
Hikigaya walked behind the two.
He forcefully reached out both hands, pulling Ichinose and Himeno Yuki into his arms on his left and right.
He looked at the Ike Kanji group in front of him and spoke with a face full of mockery.
"The jealousy of a virgin is truly hideous..."
In the islands [Japan], being inexperienced is considered a shameful thing.
It meant they were losers whom nobody wanted.
Therefore, most people would hide it or act stubborn.
Although Hikigaya felt this value system was boring.
It was applicable to most people, especially to people like Ike Kanji.
As soon as those words came out.
Ike Kanji and the others' faces turned red instantly. They pointed at Hikigaya and said in a fit of rage:
"You're stepping on two boats—don't you feel ashamed? How could two girls be willing to date a guy like you at the same time? You must have used some despicable means."
Red.
"Ashamed?"
Hikigaya sneered, hugging Ichinose and Himeno Yuki's slender waists, his face full of disdain:
"So what if I did? Whether it's Honami or Yuki, they're already my things, right?"
Feeling those strong and powerful palms at their waists, being held tightly in Hikigaya's arms, Ichinose and Himeno Yuki's faces flushed bright red.
He was always like this.
He would stand up at the most critical moment to protect them.
And.
"Already my things."
A confession like that... isn't it a bit too embarrassing?
Ichinose and Himeno Yuki, their faces red, nodded in unison.
"Mhm."
"Shameless!"
Ike Kanji pointed at Hikigaya, trembling with rage:
"You scum! Instead of being ashamed, you're actually proud of it?"
"I am a piece of scum. So what?"
Hikigaya gazed at the group with contempt and mocked:
"You losers should just go back and watch your porn. Standing here, I can smell the scent of a virgin. It's disgusting."
For some reason.
Even though he said it to make Ike Kanji and the others get lost and help Ichinose and the others out of a predicament.
The moment it left his mouth.
Hikigaya suddenly felt a wave of relief in his heart.
Yes.
He was originally trash!
Now he had just gone from one type of trash to another.
From recyclable trash to non-recyclable trash.
What was there to care about?
"You..."
Hearing Hikigaya call them virgins over and over again, Ike Kanji and the others had faces turned iron-blue from holding back, and they couldn't even refute it.
Inexplicably, they felt a level lower than the other party.
A man who throws away his face is invincible!
"Shameless."
The only weapon Ike Kanji and the others had left was acting stubborn.
"A piece of scum like you—believe it or not, I'll beat you to death."
"Heh, go ahead then, you waste?"
Hikigaya sneered, his gaze full of disdain as he looked at Ike Kanji.
What's the point of acting tough with your mouth?
Although he couldn't beat so many people.
But with so many cameras around.
If you dare to lift a finger, I'll dare to report you!
Ike Kanji looked Hikigaya up and down. He had to admit that this piece of scum was taller than him.
He might not actually be able to win in a fight.
Ike Kanji immediately used his "Summoning Art."
"Ken!"
"Forget it."
Sudou Ken glanced at Hikigaya and said somewhat helplessly:
"Why say more to this kind of scum? This is Class C's business after all. If Ichinose and the others aren't willing to speak up, what can we do?"
As soon as those words were said.
Ike Kanji and the others suddenly snapped back to their senses.
They didn't need to bother with a piece of scum like Hikigaya.
Moreover.
This also concerned Class C itself; the situation was probably more complicated than they thought.
Perhaps.
Ichinose even treated this as a method to dismantle Class C.
"Scum."
"For Ken's sake, I won't bother with you."
"Ichinose, following this kind of scum, you'll regret it sooner or later!"
"Hmph, Ichinose, you've really disappointed us!"
With that.
Ike Kanji and the others hurriedly left as if escaping, clutching their reddened cheeks and feeling quite humiliated.
After all, they all shared that kind of value system.
As long as they didn't "graduate" from being single.
They were naturally a level lower than an "experienced person."
Hikigaya had admitted it just now; he indeed used some despicable means and was even proud of it.
A man without shame is invincible.
As long as they didn't have evidence, Ike Kanji and the others had no options.
Even though Ichinose also admitted it was voluntary.
People would still prefer to believe that Ichinose was innocent and Hikigaya was despicable.
As for Himeno Yuki.
She had been ignored by them from the very beginning.
Watching the backs of the departing group.
Only then did Hikigaya let go of Ichinose and Himeno Yuki in his arms.
After all.
Between Ike Kanji and Ichinose.
The two of them had probably only spoken a few times; how could he truly treat her as a friend?
Essentially.
High-quality people wouldn't say much; at most, they would condemn them in private.
Low-quality people.
At most, they would mock them occasionally when they bumped into each other.
And people like Ike Kanji.
They specifically wanted to rush over to "rescue" Ichinose.
It was just "Red Eye Disease" [jealousy]; it was the jealousy in their hearts acting up.
From the beginning.
They were targeting Hikigaya.
It was just that they couldn't even get one girlfriend, and they were jealous that the one who could have one on each arm wasn't them. It was easily solved.
"Let's go back."
Hikigaya looked at Ichinose on his left, while his right hand couldn't help but feel a trace of softness.
Himeno Yuki was holding his arm tightly with both hands, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"Wh... what are you doing?"
Hikigaya looked around before looking at Himeno Yuki, feeling a bit dazed.
There were still so many people around.
Did this girl take the wrong medicine today? To be so bold when there are so many people.
"Nothing, let's go home!"
Himeno Yuki's eyes sparkled.
As expected.
Her choice was definitely right. She had to hold onto a treasure like Hikigaya as tightly as possible.
