On the screen.
It was showing a transfer of 500,000 Private Points.
The sender of the transfer was likewise from the school authorities, so it was impossible to be fake.
How is that possible?
Hikigaya was simply stunned, and Himeno Yuki and Kamuro Masumi on the side were equally dumbfounded.
After all.
Even with Nanase Tsubasa by her side, Sakayanagi Arisu's movements were inconvenient, so the places they could search must not have been many.
How could they possibly find the 500,000 Private Points, which were second only to the one million?
Was it also a gift from "My Father .."?
Hikigaya's gaze toward Sakayanagi was somewhat speechless; this was the true cheating.
"What kind of look is that?"
Sakayanagi Arisu's expression turned cold: "This is something we obtained through our own strength."
"Eh? Ah... sorry."
Hikigaya's face was somewhat awkward as he said: "But, how exactly did you manage to do it?"
"It was a very simple matter."
Sakayanagi Arisu was somewhat huffy like a little girl, and only after a while did she explain:
"This requires Nanase-san to explain. I just had her follow Kouenji closely."
"Kouenji?"
Himeno Yuki was somewhat confused.
It had to be said.
Currently, Kouenji was practically the man of the hour in the whole school.
With his own strength, he had suppressed the entire school, wildly scoring 300 class points for his class.
His strength was astounding.
"That's right."
Sakayanagi Arisu nodded with a smile and said: "I was somewhat curious about Kouenji's strength, so I let Nanase-san give it a try. Now it seems that besides physical strength, Kouenji is at a top level even in other aspects. Hikki, you'll have to work hard."
"Haha..."
Hikigaya turned to look at Nanase Tsubasa and said: "So you followed behind Kouenji and snatched the QR code he was about to scan?"
"No."
Nanase Tsubasa shook her head and scratched her hair somewhat embarrassedly:
"I said that I saw this QR code first, and Kouenji-senpai very easily let me have it. He seems to be a very gentlemanly senior, and Wang-senpai also told me not to be formal."
Wang-senpai was probably Kouenji's teammate.
Upon hearing this.
Hikigaya and Sakayanagi Arisu frowned at the same time.
That Kouenji who was always unconventional.
Unexpectedly.
Actually heard the evaluation of Kouenji being very gentlemanly from Nanase Tsubasa's mouth. It was truly difficult to grasp Kouenji's true nature.
However.
These things were not important now.
"How about it?"
Sakayanagi Arisu teased: "Hikki, do you accept it?"
"I lost~"
Hikigaya honestly admitted defeat.
Anyway, he had been losing since he was a child, so defeat held almost no psychological burden for him.
"Then."
The corners of Sakayanagi Arisu's mouth couldn't help but show a smile: "According to the agreement, Hikki must promise Nanase-san and me each one condition."
Although they won the match.
Hikigaya's evaluation in Sakayanagi's eyes did not decrease.
If rules were strictly followed...
Hikigaya obtained one million; he was simply being pragmatic.
These things were not important.
The most important thing was.
Sakayanagi Arisu discovered.
Hikigaya's way of thinking was always different from theirs.
While they were all working hard for the exams, Hikigaya could always point directly to the essence of the problem.
This was a rare and valuable ability.
"No problem".
Sensing Nanase Tsubasa's expectant gaze, Hikigaya revealed a smile and was not stingy.
"I can agree to any condition".
Anyway.
He did not lack personal points.
Sakayanagi Arisu naturally goes without saying, and he believed a cute junior like Nanase Tsubasa would not make any excessive requests.
"Hmm...".
Sakayanagi Arisu pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the two girls:
"Himeno, Kamuro, I wonder if I could trouble the two of you to leave temporarily for a moment; I have some words to say to Hiki-kun, ten minutes will suffice".
This kind of limited conversation time was truly difficult to refuse.
"Alright".
"Then shall we go to the rooftop cafe and wait for you?"
"Or should we go for a SPA?"
"Then let's wait until tomorrow with Ichinose and the others".
"True".
The two chatted with each other, nodded, and turned to leave.
As expected.
It felt like the relationship between these two was indeed getting better.
Watching the retreating figures of Himeno and Kamuro, Hikigaya breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although he didn't know what had happened, it was a good thing in the end.
However.
Himeno Yuki's own personality was quite extroverted and she liked to have fun; perhaps she might have some common topics with a pervert like Kamuro.
After the two left.
Sakayanagi Arisu turned to Nanase Tsubasa and smiled:
"Nanase-san, you go first".
"Eh? Is it okay?"
Nanase Tsubasa was full of joy.
Her sparkling blue eyes were clearly impatient.
"Of course, feel free to make any request".
"Hey..."
Hikigaya helplessly cut in between the two: "Don't make it too expensive..."
He was just saying it; these two weren't planning on playing for real, were they?
It would be best to keep the price under 50,000 points.
"No, no".
Upon hearing this.
Nanase Tsubasa hurriedly shook her head, and immediately her pretty face flushed red.
As if she had finally gathered enough courage.
Nanase Tsubasa looked up at Hikigaya, her voice rising several decibels.
"Hikigaya-senpai, can you pat my head?"
"???"
Hikigaya was momentarily stunned, and even Sakayanagi Arisu beside him was equally startled.
Allowing you to make any request, and in the end, this is what you propose?
Is this person a fool?
"Um..."
Hikigaya was made to feel a bit embarrassed: "Why do you want me to pat your head? Actually, you don't need to be so polite; even having a big meal would be no problem".
"No, no".
Nanase Tsubasa lowered her small head with a blushing face:
"It's just that Matsuo-gakuen used to do this often; now I just feel a bit nostalgic, so I wanted senpai to try it, is it not okay?"
"Oh".
Only then did Hikigaya realize.
Although she had moved on from the past, Nanase Tsubasa probably still felt some sadness in her heart.
Hearing the name Matsuo.
Sakayanagi was slightly concerned, but it was not convenient to ask more now.
Better to wait for an opportunity later.
"No problem".
Hearing Hikigaya speak, Nanase Tsubasa lowered her head and offered her small head in front of him.
Looking at the smooth blonde hair before him.
Hikigaya placed his hand on Nanase Tsubasa's head and stroked it.
Indeed, a strong junior like Nanase Tsubasa truly makes one unable to resist wanting to care for her.
After a moment.
"Hehe".
Nanase Tsubasa placed her hands where Hikigaya had patted, her small face looking embarrassed:
"As expected, Hikigaya-senpai's palm is very large and warm..."
"You can make one more request too".
A smile appeared at the corner of Hikigaya's mouth.
After all, just a head pat didn't count as a condition at all.
"No need, no need, I am already very satisfied with this".
"No need to be so polite".
"Then..."
Nanase Tsubasa's expression was hesitant, and she said in a somewhat nervous voice: "Hikigaya-senpai, can you pat my head frequently in the future?"
"..."
Watching the scene before her.
Sakayanagi Arisu truly felt that Nanase Tsubasa was very much like a cute dog.
"No problem, this is just a small matter; you can propose other conditions".
"Since Nanase-san can't think of anything for the time being, let's talk about it later".
Without waiting for Nanase Tsubasa's response, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled and said:
"My condition is, until this summer vacation ends, Hikki must follow my arrangements".
"What are you going to do?"
Hikigaya immediately frowned.
If it were having a meal or something, he could understand, but dragging the timeline out this long made him feel it wouldn't be anything good.
"Rest assured".
Sakayanagi Arisu smiled indifferently: "It won't harm anyone, nor will it stop you from meeting them, and it won't make you spend money; this should be fine, right?"
"That's fine then".
After a moment of hesitation.
Hikigaya finally nodded.
He really couldn't imagine what kind of request Sakayanagi Arisu could have.
