The other side.
Fifteenth floor.
Walked out of the fire escape.
Hikigaya arrived at the door of Kamuro Masumi's room and rang the doorbell.
Learning that Ichinose was actually following him made Hikigaya even more uncomfortable, but it wasn't difficult to shake them off.
"Creak..."
The door opened.
Looking at the calm-faced Kamuro Masumi in front of him, Hikigaya walked straight into the dorm and sat on her bed.
"Master."
Kamuro Masumi knelt in front of him and laughed happily:
"She might still need some time; let me serve you first."
"Get lost."
Hikigaya pushed her away.
Without Kamuro Masumi, Arisu Sakayanagi, who had difficulty moving, would indeed need more time to return to the dormitory building.
But nothing good ever happened when Arisu Sakayanagi arrived; looking at Kamuro Masumi just made him feel annoyed.
Seeing this.
Kamuro Masumi averted her gaze in some annoyance and sat back in her seat unhappily.
She was naturally clear about the reason for Hikigaya's annoyance.
As long as this kind of relationship continued to exist for one day, Hikigaya would never be able to associate with her normally.
People are just like that.
Once they get some, they always want more.
In a short moment.
Arisu Sakayanagi arrived at the dormitory.
Looking at the figure she hadn't seen for a long time, Hikigaya's eyes were filled with disgust.
"What a good look; I don't hate it."
Sakayanagi sat on the chair in front of the desk, with a cheerful smile on her face.
The implication was clear.
She enjoyed seeing this expression of incompetent rage; as long as she held that leverage, he just couldn't do anything about her.
Of course.
The premise was that the other party had to be a genius.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be very interesting if it were an ordinary person.
Hikigaya's anger made Sakayanagi exceptionally enjoy herself.
"Back to the point."
Arisu Sakayanagi took out her phone and operated it for a while, and Hikigaya's phone received a light notification.
"I assume you should have already understood the exam, but it doesn't matter if you don't."
"In this exam, you will team up with two classmates from Class B, and then find a way to fall into the bottom five groups."
"Join up with Class A's group as much as possible during the exam to form a large group. Of course, this seems to have some difficulty, but I won't force it."
"I just transferred two million to you, which is enough to cancel your expulsion penalty."
"How about it? Very simple, right?"
Arisu Sakayanagi said with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.
Handing over two million to Hikigaya without a care.
A group needs a high cost of six million personal points to cancel the expulsion penalty.
use.
But if three people split it equally.
Then only two million personal points are needed.
If a group of six can be gathered.
Then only one million is needed.
However, the other people teaming up with Hikigaya will inevitably suffer the expulsion penalty as well, but that wasn't something she needed to care about.
Sakayanagi didn't care that much either.
Although the detailed exam rules are currently unclear and a detailed strategy cannot be formulated, it's enough to just try one's best to hold the team back.
Let the revived Katsuragi faction.
All be expelled!
As for any classmates, any class interests, or Hikigaya's thoughts.
Sakayanagi wouldn't care about any of those.
As long as she can return to the position of Class A's leader, what does it matter even if everyone is sacrificed?
Otherwise.
Stay in the class as a pawn?
That would be far too boring.
Looking at the newly added two million on his phone, Hikigaya asked in a hoarse voice:
"Wouldn't it be better if I just got expelled? Why do this?"
"This joke isn't funny."
Arisu Sakayanagi laughed lightly at the corner of her mouth: "How could I choose to give up after using a useful pawn only once?"
"Even setting aside strength, just you being a member of Class B."
"Your value has already far exceeded two million personal points."
"Am I wrong?"
"Hiki-kun?"
Hikigaya opened his mouth but did not respond.
Obviously.
For a pawn that can be repeatedly used like this, with Arisu Sakayanagi's despicable personality, she naturally could not discard it after using it only once.
This betrayal would not happen only once.
Until graduation.
Perhaps there were still countless instances of betraying the class waiting for him.
No.
That also depended on whether Sakayanagi cared.
Even beyond graduation.
He would always be subject to her.
Teaming up with two Class B people.
Was indeed not difficult.
But dragging them down, betraying the class and making them expelled one by one—Sakayanagi wouldn't care about such small matters at all.
Hikigaya's eyes were slightly red.
"If you're clear, then I'll leave first. If there's anything you need help with, you can contact me or Kamuro-san at any time."
Arisu Sakayanagi didn't care, leaving the dormitory cheerfully.
As long as she held that video.
Even if Hikigaya didn't consider his own future exams, he had to consider Ichinose and others, he had to consider the class, and he had to consider his own family.
As long as he was still considering these.
Hikigaya had to follow her orders; clearly, Hikigaya was already powerless.
As for what would happen to Hikigaya's companions.
Arisu Sakayanagi didn't care.
When Hikigaya collapses, it will mean this pawn is no longer useful; at that time, she would just need to find a new pawn.
Gazing at Sakayanagi's departing back.
Kamuro Masumi walked to Hikigaya and handed him a tissue, saying with some hesitation.
"In any case, you don't know many people in Class B. As long as you ask Ichinose, teaming up with two people you aren't very familiar with is very easy. There's no need to be like this."
Just as she said.
Hikigaya didn't know many people, and hadn't even spoken to most of them.
As long as Ichinose helped.
Teaming up with two insignificant small characters was very easy.
From another perspective.
Teaming up with the two worst students.
Could even eliminate two people who were holding the class back.
From another angle, it was still a good thing.
They weren't familiar anyway.
Betrayal is betrayal; what's the big deal.
Why make oneself so miserable for people one isn't familiar with.
It's simply a problem with the brain.
At least.
That's what Kamuro Masumi thought.
Hikigaya lowered his head and didn't respond, just gently pushed her small hand away, and got up to leave the dormitory.
Gazing at his departing back.
Kamuro Masumi lay on the bed with some annoyance, naturally knowing that Hikigaya's mood couldn't be good.
"Sigh."
Kamuro Masumi let out a sigh.
She truly couldn't understand do-gooders like Ichinose and Hikigaya.
Just some people they aren't familiar with.
What's there to care about.
Always considering those unrelated people; wouldn't it be better to consider oneself more?
"Sick."
Kamuro Masumi became more annoyed the more she thought about it.
If there's anything unpleasant, he could have vented it on her.
Seeing Hikigaya looking so troubled, Kamuro Masumi truly felt some annoyance.
Sakayanagi too.
Letting Hikigaya get expelled by himself would have been enough; why insist on him dragging down several Class B classmates.
"Damn it."
Kamuro Masumi sat up in annoyance.
Had she known, she wouldn't have sent the video to Sakayanagi.
One person threatening two.
The situation would still be under her own control.
Wouldn't that be great?
