Happy times are always short.
Wait until the private session ended, finished eating lunch and watching a movie, Hikigaya called Ichinose and the others to a restaurant private room.
"Arisu."
Hikigaya looked at Sakayanagi Arisu opposite him and frowned:
"The matter with Karuizawa, what exactly do you mean?"
"Eh?"
Himeno Yuki and Ichinose sitting on the left and right were a bit confused: "What happened with Karuizawa?"
"..."
Hikigaya was a bit troubled, it indeed felt a bit hard to explain.
Although he didn't want to add more people anymore.
Whether it was time, physical strength, or money, he truly couldn't afford the burden.
But if there really was one more girlfriend like Karuizawa.
To be honest.
Hikigaya already felt it didn't matter much.
But Sakayanagi couldn't ignore his opinion like this and take the liberty of making decisions for him, right?
A small matter would be one thing.
For this kind of matter.
On what basis could Sakayanagi make decisions for him, giving Karuizawa false hope; if it didn't work out in the end, wouldn't it hurt Karuizawa again.
"It's no big deal."
Sakayanagi Arisu explained with a smile: "It's just that Karuizawa-san seems to have always liked Hiki-paya, since she had no objection, I also just went along with it and agreed to her becoming Hiki-paya's girlfriend; if there's an opportunity, Ichinose and Himeno-san, you can get in touch with her."
"Um?"
Ichinose was instantly a bit bewildered.
Although she also knew Karuizawa liked Hikigaya, she at most only held the thought of letting nature take its course.
"Ha?"
Himeno Yuki stood up with her hands supporting the table, she was almost exploding with anger:
"Not only making things difficult for Honami everywhere, but also making such a decision on your own without consulting us at all, Sakayanagi, what exactly do you mean?"
Seeing that they were about to argue again.
Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh, feeling quite exhausted, but he was clearly on Himeno's side.
His gaze toward Sakayanagi Arisu was also a bit helpless.
"Arisu, what exactly do you want to do?"
"You all don't need to know yet."
Facing the questioning gazes of the three, Sakayanagi Arisu's expression was flat:
"And Himeno-san, is it really okay for you to speak to me like that? You probably also don't want the classmates in your class to know your true face, right?"
Hearing this.
Himeno Yuki's face instantly stiffened.
When the several of them were together, they would always unintentionally let down their guard; probably her abnormality had already been noticed by Sakayanagi Arisu long ago.
But.
She could never have imagined.
Sakayanagi Arisu would actually threaten her like that.
This gathering also broke up unhappily under Sakayanagi's aggressiveness, and Hikigaya shook his head a bit bitterly.
If it weren't for the fact that Sakayanagi's father was Chairman Sakayanagi.
He really wanted to slap this girl.
She had clearly spoken so well before, he truly didn't know what exactly this girl was trying to do.
The next day.
The cruise ship's top-floor cafe.
Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro Masumi were together.
"I say."
Kamuro Masumi looked at Sakayanagi in front of her with some helplessness: "Sakayanagi, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Ah la, does Kamuro-san refer to that matter?"
"You clearly don't mind us being with Hikki. could it be that you're jealous of Ichinose's position in Hikki's heart?"
Kamuro Masumi asked somewhat in confusion.
After all, a woman as confident as Sakayanagi clearly wouldn't be that kind of jealous wife, but besides this reason, Kamuro Masumi couldn't think of any other explanation.
"Ah la."
Sakayanagi Arisu looked up and laughed: "Kamuro-san has been influenced by Ichinose, to actually speak on her side, or is it the experience of being fellow criminals that makes you unconsciously want to help Ichinose?"
"..."
Hearing this.
Kamuro Masumi's face stiffened.
Although she couldn't be called a good person, completely discarding her conscience wasn't an easy thing either.
"Don't change the subject, if you don't want to say it then forget it."
"Forget it."
Facing Kamuro, Sakayanagi thought for a while and still explained: "I'm naturally not intentionally targeting Ichinose and the others, it's normal for an excellent man to have many women, it's just that Hikki is truly too indifferent."
"Since I am Hiki-paya's woman, I naturally have to assist him well, I must give him a push."
Regardless.
Kamuro Masumi was also the person who was closest to her.
There was no need to hide it from her.
After all.
Being in a high position.
Sakayanagi had long been accustomed to such things.
Moreover, her physical condition was just like this, how many women there were didn't have much impact on her.
"Um?"
Kamuro Masumi knitted her beautiful brows and said: "You're dissatisfied that Hikki has no ambition, that's true, that guy indeed doesn't seem to have much ambition, but as long as he encounters a problem, he is still very reliable, is it necessary to push him like this?"
"Ambition?"
A playful smile appeared at the corners of Sakayanagi's mouth: "That's just an excuse women use to discipline men, if you really want a man to go further, this kind of excuse will only be counterproductive."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Of course it's desire."
Sakayanagi Arisu explained with a light smile: "Whether it's power, money, fame, social status, or women, it doesn't matter."
"Only desire, only self-driven force arising from oneself, can make a person go further, and can maximize Hikki's potential."
"I'm going to draw out all of Hikki's desires bit by bit!"
Sakayanagi Arisu explained with a joyful expression.
Leading the growth of a genius who is above oneself is also a kind of fun.
Fortunately.
Hikigaya hadn't reached the point of having no desires or needs.
To this end.
She wanted to pressure Hikigaya step by step, forcing out the anger in his heart, forcing out the desires in his heart.
Whether it's power, money, or women.
Anything is fine.
Only in this way.
Will Hikigaya spontaneously want to grow.
Otherwise.
Pushing him one step at a time is just wasting Hikigaya's talent.
Even if he has Chairman Sakayanagi's promotion.
She also wants to make Hikigaya a true leader during this time at school, and even prepare him for his future career.
Manpower is indispensable.
Of course, it must be with her consent.
"Um?"
Kamuro Masumi was even more puzzled: "Then you also don't have to target Ichinose and the others, if it's for Hikki's sake, wouldn't it be fine to just tell Ichinose and the others directly?"
"Kamuro-san is still too naive."
Sakayanagi Arisu laughed softly: "Leaving Himeno-san aside for now, I don't have the means to control Ichinose yet, I can only proceed step by step, and then I can start reforming Hikki."
"..."
Kamuro Masumi held her forehead with a bit of a headache.
Must be said.
Sakayanagi still had deficiencies in this area.
Contacting people.
If not grasping the other party's weakness, then it was intimidating the other party to make them yield.
Clearly it was such a simple matter, but this girl insisted on making it so troublesome.
"You're overthinking it."
Kamuro Masumi said somewhat helplessly: "Actually, as long as you honestly tell Ichinose and the others these things, I believe they will certainly agree."
"Otherwise, continuing like this will only make Hikki more troubled, and when the time comes you've pushed him too far and he starts avoiding you, don't you regret it."
"Um..."
Sakayanagi Arisu knitted her beautiful brows.
Although with Hikigaya's sense of responsibility, the possibility of him abandoning her was very low, Sakayanagi Arisu still inevitably felt some concern about this one-in-ten-thousand possibility.
"Would Ichinose and the others really agree?"
"At least I would agree, as long as you are indeed doing it for Hikki's good, I believe Ichinose and the others would certainly agree too."
"I'll consider it."
Hesitating for a moment.
Sakayanagi Arisu was thinking about whether or not to change her policy.
Although she had made up her mind.
But only when facing it did she discover.
Hikigaya's questioning gaze truly made her feel bad.
In the future.
Hikigaya will surely be grateful to have a virtuous assistant like her, she can make Hikigaya go further!
