The next morning.
It was Saturday after the Unanimous Special Exam ended.
Hikigaya sat on the edge of the bed, while Himeno Yuki knelt on a soft cushion in front of him, bowing her head to serve and suck, performing desire training.
It had been over a month.
During this time, besides exercising, he had also been training in concentration and techniques with Ichinose and the others.
He was more or less used to it.
Hikigaya casually stroked Himeno Yuki's small head while the other hand dialed Sakura Airi's phone.
"Hello, Hikki?
"Yeah, it's me. Sakura, do you have time now? I have some things I want to talk to you about."
"Sure, I'll head over to your dorm in a bit, is that okay?"
On the other end of the phone.
Looking at Haruka beside her, Sakura Airi covered the mouthpiece and spoke with some excitement; she had never been to Hikigaya's dorm before.
Thinking of this.
Sakura Airi couldn't help but feel curious.
"About that..."
Place?"
Looking down at Himeno Yuki, Hikigaya said calmly: "Let's forget it. I'll go find you later. Where are you right now?"
"Oh..."
Sakura Airi said with some disappointment: "I'm at Kaka's dorm. Hikiki, just come over directly."
"Hmm?"
Hikigaya frowned slightly.
It couldn't be helped.
The relationship between Hasebe Haruka and Sakura Airi was really good.
Together even this early in the morning.
Likely after losing everything, they now cherished this time even more.
"Then give the phone to Hasebe-san, I have something I want to say to her."
"Hello, Hikki?"
Hasebe's voice soon came from the other end of the phone.
Hikigaya said in a heavy voice:
"Hasebe-san? I want to talk with Sakura about what happened in Class D during the exam. Can I borrow Sakura-san for a bit?"
Although it felt shameful.
But he heard from Sakayanagi and the others that this kind of rhetoric would be more effective.
The underlying meaning was affirming the relationship between Sakura Airi and Hasebe Haruka, and as a member of Class B, he didn't care.
Concern.
Generally speaking.
The other party would accept.
On the other side.
"Eh?"
Hasebe Haruka was slightly stunned.
She quickly reacted.
He likely didn't want her to feel conflicted between the class and Sakura Airi.
As long as one doesn't know.
No one can say anything.
In the past, he never looked right to her, but now she realized Hikigaya was actually so gentle, considering them even in these small matters.
"It's fine."
Glancing at Sakura Airi beside her, Hasebe Haruka said in a relaxed tone:
"Hikki, just come over directly."
"It's not..."
"You don't want me to be caught between the class and Airi-chan, right?"
Hikigaya rubbed the bridge of his nose.
Clearly, Hasebe had also guessed his thoughts and didn't care about those things.
If Horikita Suzune knew.
It would likely make Hasebe's situation in Class D extremely awkward, or even lead to her being ostracized.
A time bomb that could explode at any moment.
Who would want to keep that by their side all the time?
Before Hikigaya could speak, Hasebe Haruka continued:
"Actually, after Airi-chan left yesterday, that Horikita fellow also imposed a gag order on Class D, forbidding everyone from revealing what happened during the exam."
Although it was to be expected, Hikigaya felt even more disgust; that Horikita Suzune actually wanted to keep it hidden.
Even imposing a gag order.
Clearly.
Horikita Suzune knew doing this was wrong, yet she did it anyway.
After all, family scandals should not be publicized, and others probably understood this too; the gag order would likely be effective.
"However."
Hasebe Haruka said indifferently: "Now that Airi-chan has transferred to Class B, Hikki's, you will also understand the sequence of events. Are you going to expose Class D's affairs? Then it doesn't matter much whether I speak or not."
"..."
Hikigaya's gaze was deep.
That was indeed the case.
The whole school would know in a few days, so whether Hasebe Haruka was there or not made no difference.
However.
This wasn't a reason, but a matter of attitude, indicating Hasebe Haruka's stance was a bit askew and she wasn't thinking from Class D's perspective.
"Um, can I ask something real quick?"
Hikigaya's voice was flat: "Hasebe-san, what's your view on Class A? Do you feel it's fine even if you don't rise to Class A?"
"That's definitely not it."
Hasebe Haruka said with some confusion: "Of course I also want to rise to Class A, but how should I put it, even if we can't rise to Class A in the end, it's not that big of a deal, right?"
Otherwise.
She wouldn't have been able to hold out until the last few seconds, only casting an affirmative vote after Sakura Airi spoke up.
"I see, well then, I'll be there in thirty minutes, see you later."
"Bye-bye, see you in a bit."
After speaking.
Hikigaya hung up the phone.
He felt that as long as Sakura Airi spoke, they could make Hasebe Haruka a spy planted in Class D.
However.
Regardless of what Hasebe Haruka was thinking.
At least for now, Hikigaya didn't want to exploit their feelings, otherwise it would only make things difficult for Sakura Airi.
Though he wanted to reach Class A.
There was absolutely no need to use such low-handed methods of exploiting women's feelings.
"Finished?"
At this time.
Himeno Yuki, below him, looked up slightly.
"Yeah."
Looking at the spring-eyed Himeno Yuki, Hikigaya's lips curled into a smile as he spoke:
"Open your mouth and let me see."
"Ah..."
Hearing this, Himeno Yuki opened her small mouth, revealing the milk inside, then swallowed it in front of Hikigaya.
"How does it feel?"
Hikigaya tilted up Himeno Yuki's fair 853 chin and asked softly.
Though she felt some shame at first, Himeno Yuki and the others seemed to like it very much, and slowly they got used to it.
"Very delicious~ I want more..."
With her hands resting on Hikigaya's thighs, Himeno Yuki's eyes became somewhat glazed.
Though the previous Hikigaya was also quite good.
But as expected.
She still preferred Hikigaya to be more assertive; what woman wouldn't want her man to be more assertive?
"Pervert..."
Hikigaya stuffed his fingers into Himeno Yuki's mouth.
For a long time,
Hikigaya only pulled back when Himeno Yuki was about to lose control.
Occasional intimacy could make a relationship more harmonious; at least, that's what Sakayanagi said.
Hikigaya felt the effect was good too.
"Go wash up nicely, we'll talk when I get back..."
"Eh!???"
Himeno Yuki then snapped back to her senses, clutching Hikigaya's thigh with some dissatisfaction.
"No, let's do it once first."
"No, thirty minutes isn't enough, right?"
"I don't care."
Saying that.
Yuki pounced on Hikigaya on the bed, her eyes resentful:
"Only being responsible for starting the fire but not putting it out, you're being too mean. You might be able to endure it, but I can't."
Saying that.
Yuki straddled Hikigaya.
This feeling, she loved it far too much!
