The fourth floor of the Special Building.
In front of the third-year haunted house.
Hikigaya originally called for the person in charge—the target was naturally Nagumo Miyabi—but unexpectedly Kiryuuin Fuuka rushed out first.
"I heard you increased the punishment for campus violence? And got that Kobayashi expelled?"
Kiryuuin Fuuka's eyes were sharp as she approached Hikigaya.
The events from a few days ago had already spread throughout the school.
However.
Most people probably didn't have much of a thought, some even expressed admiration.
Anyway, they didn't fight to begin with, and it could make the campus atmosphere more harmonious.
Why not?
The only ones who would react were people like Ryuen, Housen, and Kiryuuin, who liked to use physical force.
"That's right."
Hikigaya helplessly took a step back to widen the distance.
"Does Kiryuuin-senpai have something to say? Surely it isn't because you were very good friends with Kobayashi-senpai and want to seek revenge for him?"
At this time.
Nagumo Miyabi walked out of the haunted house.
Watching the scene before him, he suddenly let out a cold laugh.
Kiryuuin was not easy to deal with.
Although he recognized Kiryuuin's strength, even he didn't particularly want to deal with her.
Therefore, 04 Nagumo Miyabi did not speak.
He first wanted to see what Kiryuuin intended to do, letting Hikigaya offend Kiryuuin first.
In that case.
Nagumo Miyabi might have an opportunity to cooperate with Kiryuuin.
"Heh..."
Watching Hikigaya take a step back, Kiryuuin immediately thought he had chickened out and suddenly grabbed Hikigaya's collar.
"What are you doing?"
Nanase Tsubasa behind him immediately barked: "Kiryuuin-senpai, let go quickly."
"Heh."
Kiryuuin ignored her completely, her sharp beautiful eyes gazing into Hikigaya's eyes, wanting to see a hint of fear.
She had originally thought Hikigaya was tamed by Nagumo Miyabi.
But she hadn't expected.
That he would turn around and backstab Nagumo Miyabi, directly pulling Nagumo off his horse.
PAGE 13
Kiryuuin discovered for the first time.
That she actually had a moment when she misjudged someone; Hikigaya was indeed an interesting person.
It's just that.
Kiryuuin was somewhat unable to understand.
"You increased the punishment intensity, likely because there is such an enemy in the second year? But do you think that by doing this, you can limit martial methods?"
"Hmm..."
Hikigaya breathed out flatly, his eyes glancing to the side.
His head hurt a bit.
Why do these people all like to use their own interests to forcibly interfere with others' ways of doing things.
Don't you feel it's a waste of time?
If it weren't for the agreement with Horikita Manabu, he wouldn't even bother to deal with Horikita Suzune.
"Let's just say that's the case..."
Hikigaya spread his hands.
Meeting Kiryuuin's sharp gaze, he said calmly:
"How about Kiryuuin-senpai gives it a try?"
Why be so fierce.
If you have the ability, try hitting me.
Let's see if your fist is harder, or my power is harder.
Whether it is effective.
Don't you know it yourself?
Hikigaya wasn't chickening out; he just liked to take a step back because he didn't have such high self-esteem to begin with, and some things truly weren't worth getting serious over.
But when the necessary moment came.
Hikigaya would not chicken out at all.
"I see."
Watching Hikigaya's calm eyes, which didn't show the slightest bit of fear toward her act of intimidation.
Kiryuuin let go with her white little hand, then walked to the side and crossed her arms against the wall.
"???"
Immediately.
Both Hikigaya and Nagumo Miyabi were somewhat dumbfounded.
Hikigaya was a bit puzzled; if you don't dare to move, then you don't dare to move, so what does walking to the side and leaning there mean?
Nagumo Miyabi was even more disgusted.
Forget it.
Kiryuuin herself was an unconventional fellow; it was normal for her to do something inexplicable.
"Hikigaya, what are you doing here at our place?"
Nagumo Miyabi took a deep breath and squeezed out a brilliant smile as he walked in front of Hikigaya.
Even if he hated him to the extreme in his heart.
Before his opponent.
Even if it killed him, Nagumo Miyabi did not want to show a lose-face side.
"Safety regulation inspection."
"..."
Nagumo Miyabi's mouth twitched.
Although he had many words he wanted to say in his heart, he thought better of it.
It was expected.
He already knew Hikigaya was a despicable villain who abused his power.
He would definitely use this to find trouble for him.
Nagumo Miyabi was also more certain that the so-called strict ban on campus violence was specifically to restrain and plot against him.
It's fine.
Whatever.
Fortunately, after viewing Hikigaya as an enemy.
Nagumo Miyabi had prepared in advance.
"No problem."
A smile appeared at the corners of Nagumo Miyabi's mouth, and he looked behind the black canvas and laughed:
"Since Vice President Hikigaya wants to inspect, the two of you should take him and give it a good inspection."
Nagumo Miyabi bit the word "Vice President" extremely hard.
Immediately.
Two people stepped out from behind the black cloth.
It was precisely Nishishi and Takatomi.
Despite being third-year seniors, their eyes flickered with avoidance when they looked at Hikigaya.
Seeing this.
Nanase Tsubasa furrowed her delicate brows.
She had not expected.
These two guys, who just two days ago were full of gratitude toward Hikigaya and gnashing their teeth at Nagumo Miyabi, had turned around and mixed with Nagumo Miyabi again.
Only, seeing that Hikigaya did not speak, Nanase Tsubasa found it hard to say much.
"Vice President Hikigaya."
Nagumo Miyabi stepped aside halfway, raised his hand in a gesture, and smiled: "I still have some matters to handle, so I'll let the two of them lead your inspection, how about it? If there is anything incorrect, you can call me at any time."
When he heard that Nishishi and Takatomi had not been expelled.
Nagumo Miyabi was indeed greatly surprised.
He hadn't expected Hikigaya to actually let the two of them go, and in an instant, Nagumo Miyabi thought that this was intentionally done to annoy him.
Furthermore.
Nishishi and Takatomi returned to their class.
They immediately spread the word about Nagumo Miyabi's betrayal and his failure to keep his promises.
Nagumo Miyabi was almost exploding with rage.
But in an instant, he thought.
Instead of letting the two of them be expelled, it was better to keep them around to annoy Hikigaya.
Isn't he fond of playing mind games?
Let the two of them stay then?
Let's see exactly who annoys whom.
Just two pieces of trash from Class C, Nagumo Miyabi, who holds a massive amount of private points, finds it very easy to manipulate them.
Although looking at Nishishi and Takatomi, Nagumo Miyabi did indeed feel very uncomfortable.
After all.
Even if everyone else dared not say it.
Their existence.
To Nagumo Miyabi, it was a stain.
Seeing Nishishi and Takatomi swaying in front of his eyes every day, Nagumo Miyabi felt as miserable as if he had eaten feces.
However.
Nagumo endured it.
He could endure it for now.
The matter of letting the two of them be expelled could wait until after they had finished annoying Hikigaya.
Let Hikigaya also experience.
This feeling as if one has eaten feces.
"Then let's go."
Looking at the several people before him, Hikigaya spoke flatly, following Nishishi and Takatomi into the haunted house; Nagumo Miyabi considerately turned on the lights for them.
Unexpectedly.
Kiryuuin, with a trace of a mocking smile on her face, followed behind the group.
Although Nagumo Miyabi was an uninteresting person.
He did have strength.
The purpose of Hikigaya deliberately leaving those two behind was nothing more than to provoke Nagumo Miyabi.
Now that the plan had failed.
Seeing the two of them surrendering to Nagumo Miyabi again.
It was impossible not to be annoyed.
Pity.
Nishishi and Takatomi, those two idiots.
Did they think that by following Nagumo Miyabi, Nagumo would let them go?
Even more naive!
Only, how Hikigaya would respond, Kiryuuin was truly curious.
After all.
Every step this guy took was somewhat beyond her expectations.
The more it was something she couldn't understand.
The more interested Kiryuuin became.
