"Hikigaya..."
"Are you doing this on purpose?"
Horikita Suzune stood in front of Hikigaya, her expression looking troubled.
The details of the incident.
Had already been clarified over the phone just now.
The affairs of the class and the Student Council were already very busy, and she had put most of her energy into the Student Council side, rarely coming to the class.
She didn't expect.
Hikigaya was actually targeting her on purpose!
That's right.
Horikita Suzune felt targeted.
What kind of ghost "safety regulation inspection" was this? It was definitely targeting her.
Using such a method to suppress classes of the same grade, trying to win the Cultural Festival through this.
They were just dealing with a dispute earlier.
Hikigaya was actually here targeting their Class D.
Too shameless.
"Address by title when working."
Hikigaya said indifferently: "And, don't misunderstand, it's the same for the whole school; we just went to the third and first years."
"What?"
Horikita Suzune knitted her beautiful brows.
This shouldn't be.
Would people like Ryuuen actually accept this so honestly?
"They all accepted the safety inspection? You didn't do anything?"
"I said to Matsushita from your class just now, as long as there are no serious safety hazards, there's no problem; I just had them write some reasonable warnings on the warning signs, what's the issue?"
Hikigaya said nonchalantly.
In reality.
Hikigaya also knew.
Most of those people treated his words like a fart, and would only display them when they encountered the Student Council.
The Student Council couldn't possibly keep people watching all the time.
Insufficient manpower.
There were simply too many ways to take shortcuts.
Only Nagumo Miyabi and Horikita Suzune.
The two of them would feel this was differential treatment, feeling intentionally targeted and thus becoming angry.
"Is that so?"
Horikita Suzune was suddenly a bit skeptical: "Fine then, if you dare to abuse your power, I will immediately report you to the school for abuse of power."
"Don't worry, isn't Mashima-sensei watching?"
Hikigaya said indifferently.
It was certainly impossible to let Horikita Suzune catch any leverage.
Inside the classroom.
The entire classroom was divided into two areas by wooden boards.
One side was responsible for receiving guests, while the other side prepared food.
Horikita Suzune, Matsushita Chiaki, Wang Mei-Yu, and other girls followed behind Hikigaya with cold gazes.
Wishing they could hate Hikigaya to death.
Karuizawa Kei followed even further behind cautiously, pulling Hasebe Haruka to keep her from speaking.
The Cultural Festival was currently being prepared.
Although Class D didn't look like it had changed much, Karuizawa keenly sensed some danger.
Even she.
Didn't understand what had happened.
Just a feeling.
It felt very similar to when her past bullying started.
Therefore.
Karuizawa had recently been coordinating with the atmosphere, gradually lowering her own presence, rarely speaking out boisterously like she used to.
"Where is the fire extinguisher?"
Hikigaya observed the surroundings of the cooking station and frowned.
Although it wasn't very tidy, he couldn't be bothered to complain.
But the fire extinguisher was a big problem.
As long as there was an application to use fire, the school would provide two fire extinguishers for free.
"Hmm?"
Horikita Suzune froze for a moment, then also knitted her brows as she noticed the impropriety, turning back to look at everyone.
"Oh, it's here."
Sato Maya opened a cabinet.
Two fire extinguishers appeared in everyone's sight.
"It's here, I put it away."
"Fire extinguishers should be placed in a conspicuous position."
Hikigaya's mouth twitched.
Fire extinguishers placed outside indeed took up space and were in the way; there were definitely these "geniuses" who liked to play small tricks.
"It is indeed somewhat improper."
Lifting the two fire extinguishers out and placing them outside, Horikita Suzune said with a flat expression:
"But this shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
"Hmm..."
Hikigaya didn't argue.
But glancing at the few people in front of him, Matsushita Chiaki, Sato Maya, and others had cold eyes, as if treating him like some mortal enemy.
This wasn't much of a problem though.
After all.
Knowing he was the culprit who had Ryuuen spread the truth everywhere.
It would be strange if they could give him a good face.
Letting them do it but not let them talk about it.
Although it was hard to say anything verbally, the attitude was very obvious.
Blaming all the faults on Hikigaya.
Only at this stage...
Hikigaya was somewhat surprised.
The progress was quite a bit slower than he imagined; someone had probably intentionally shifted the conflict outward.
Unfortunately, the result would not change in the slightest.
Thinking of this.
Hikigaya didn't take it to heart.
To ignore a person is to ignore them completely; emotions won't have any fluctuations, just handle business officially.
"Just asking for a moment."
Hikigaya said with a flat expression: "You all know how to use a fire extinguisher, right?"
"Of course we know."
Horikita Suzune's expression was flat, she hesitated for a moment and looked at her companions behind her.
"Eh? Hirata and the others should all know how to use it, right?"
Sato Maya and the others were stunned for a moment.
"Yeah."
Matsushita Chiaki also laughed indifferently: "During the Cultural Festival, Hirata and the others will also be in the shop, so it shouldn't matter, right?"
"???"
Horikita Suzune's face was stiff and a bit ugly.
It's over.
Most of her energy was tied up by the Cultural Festival, and it looked like she had slightly neglected the class.
Having lost Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyou, and the maid cafe having excluded boys, Hirata also had the football club to participate in.
Class D had many, many small problems.
No major problems.
But this was giving Hikigaya leverage.
Thinking of this.
Horikita Suzune looked at Hikigaya somewhat stiffly.
"Mashima-sensei."
Hikigaya said with a flat expression: "Could I trouble you to teach everyone how to correctly use a fire extinguisher?"
"No problem."
Mashima-sensei stepped forward and lifted the fire extinguisher, saying seriously:
"Fire prevention is a very important matter; putting aside the losses for a moment, it also concerns your lives and safety. First, we must lift the fire extinguisher upright and stand upwind..."
Mashima-sensei personally demonstrated how to use a fire extinguisher.
He was already used to this kind of thing.
In fact, this kind of thing had already been taught countless times, even during the uninhabited island exam, it had been taught to Class D.
But there were always people who forgot, or didn't take it to heart, or didn't value it enough, or various other messy reasons.
There's no way.
There are always such people in the world.
Therefore.
Every time fire needed to be used.
Whether it was the school or various corporate groups, they would teach it tirelessly, just to prepare for that one-in-ten-thousand possibility.
How to use a fire extinguisher.
A person should learn it at least two or three times in their life.
Unfortunately.
Matsushita Chiaki watched the scene before her with a calm expression, while Sato Maya and the others nearby covered their mouths and snickered.
Isn't it just pulling something out and pressing it.
Did he really think they wouldn't know?
Something that even an idiot would know, did it still need to be learned?
Furthermore.
They had already learned it several times.
Every time school started, someone had to teach it; they had no idea what the use was.
It was only because the people around them didn't speak that they didn't want to become outliers in everyone's eyes.
Clearly.
It would still have to be taught next time.
Hikigaya ignored it with a flat expression; anyway, it had nothing to do with him, just handle business officially.
Horikita Suzune, on the other hand, was somewhat shocked.
That's right.
She was almost stunned.
She originally thought Hikigaya would use the topic to make a fuss, but it looked like he was actually being quite fair?
However.
The next second.
Horikita Suzune knew she had thought wrong..
