Opening the menu.
Hikigaya glanced at Class D's items.
Besides common items like cookies, black tea, and omurice.
There were also items not seen in other classes.
For example, a maid photo for eight hundred points, and a handshake voucher for one thousand five hundred points per time.
"This is a robbery..."
Hikigaya's face darkened.
A portion of grilled squid only cost four or five hundred points, yet a single photo was eight hundred points.
Isn't it better to use these points to buy something delicious?
Although it seemed completely worthless in Hikigaya's eyes, it appeared very popular with other students, though no adults participated.
After all, the adults who could be invited.
Most were people with faces to save, or at least big figures with wives; they had to consider the impact.
And then there was the fifteen-hundred-point handshake voucher.
Not many maids provided this service; only a few like Shinohara, Maezono, and Ichihashi were available for customers to choose freely.
Judging from the scale.
It was highly likely these few had volunteered, the reason mostly being to try for the sake of the class.
Just a handshake could earn fifteen hundred points; it certainly had considerable appeal for some people.
It was just that the price was close to one-third of the points a student possessed.
Not many people seemed to buy this item.
Hikigaya knew their thoughts perfectly well.
On the surface, it was for the class.
In reality, it was for self-preservation to increase their value within the class, or simply to improve their personal evaluation.
There was no problem with that.
The problem was they probably hadn't considered the risks behind it.
It was just a handshake.
Even if there was some dislike, it was only for a moment.
Compared to the improved personal evaluation, that tiny bit of naive dislike in their hearts was just a trivial matter.
The risks behind it and the problems that could arise.
However, those weren't things they could think of.
Even if they were all volunteers, this was the responsibility of Horikita Suzune as the leader.
After all, the plan was approved by Horikita Suzune.
If any part of the process went wrong, the leader would bear corresponding responsibility; otherwise, what was the leader for?
"What is it?"
"Seeing them so low, are you satisfied?"
At this time, Kushida Kikyo glanced at Ike Kanji and the others, her tone somewhat mocking.
Now that her true face had been exposed by Hikigaya, no one in the school was willing to approach Kushida, but she didn't feel much.
Having had the experience in middle school.
Kushida Kikyo clearly knew this was a matter of course.
Compared to Horikita Suzune and Ayanokouji.
Kushida clearly understood human nature better.
Just by telling a few truths, her middle school class collapsed instantly.
Let alone Class D, which had to face ridicule from everyone all day; a collapse was only a matter of time.
"It's not about being satisfied or not; it originally had nothing to do with me."
Hikigaya was a bit surprised.
After all, what he did definitely brought her a lot of trouble.
If Kushida hated him as much as Ike Kanji and the others, or even to the point of gritting her teeth, Hikigaya wouldn't find it a problem.
He didn't expect.
Kushida could still maintain a normal conversation like this.
She really was impressive.
"You really have the nerve to say that. You're the culprit who made them like this."
"There's no helping it, I have my reasons too."
Hikigaya said with a flat expression.
Mainly it was to give Horikita Suzune a lesson; strictly speaking, Ike Kanji and the others were entirely caught up in it because of her. It wouldn't be wrong to say he was the culprit.
"Furthermore, I have nothing to do with them. Isn't it natural to bear the cost of one's own actions?"
"That's true."
Kushida Kikyo revealed a mocking smile.
To reach Class A.
Hikigaya's method was indeed a good way to completely dismantle Class D.
Being responsible for one's own affairs.
It was natural.
Kushida Kikyo had already prepared to bear the consequences; after graduation, she would just go to a university elsewhere and start a new life.
Unfortunately.
Not everyone has such resolve; most only see what they want to see.
She just didn't understand why she was chatting idly with Hikigaya like this.
During this period.
Although Horikita Suzune would occasionally come to see her, she really hated Horikita Suzune.
Perhaps she hadn't spoken to anyone for too long.
And thus felt a bit lonely.
Encountering Hikigaya, who wasn't well-liked by Class D, made her speak a bit more today.
Thinking of this.
Kushida Kikyo lost interest in idling chatting.
Although she appeared unchanged on the surface, the gossip and contempt around her undoubtedly affected her the most.
It was just that compared to Ike Kanji and the others.
Kushida Kikyo's heart was undoubtedly much stronger.
"Forget it, tell me quickly what you want to order."
"Is Horikita here?"
Hikigaya asked in return.
He looked up toward the kitchen behind her; although it didn't really matter if Horikita Suzune was there or not.
But compared to striking at Class D, Hikigaya was more inclined.
To place the potential problems right in front of Horikita Suzune!
As for what she would do.
That would be Horikita Suzune's own business.
Of course.
There was also a selfish motive of revenge.
What was there to be proud of using beauty to attract traffic? It would have been fine if she opened it secretly, but she just had to show off in front of him.
"What are you asking that for?"
Kushida Kikyo knitted her brows.
"To create some trouble for her."
Noting Kushida's calm, pretty face, Hikigaya said frankly:
"You should know very well how hard it is to do something you loathe. It's not as easy as they think."
"Indeed."
Kushida Kikyo immediately understood, a curve rising at the corner of her mouth.
Just a handshake.
Ichihashi and the others might feel they could just endure it and it would pass.
It was still within an acceptable range.
But if they encountered an emergency, it might not be the case.
Having endured her internal disgust and worked hard to maintain a gentle persona for several years, Kushida Kikyo naturally understood the difficulty.
One could only maintain their emotions by venting frequently.
These things.
Weren't as easy as Ichihashi and the others thought.
Even if they were volunteers, once they regretted it, it would still require Horikita Suzune, the leader, to handle it.
Thinking of this.
Kushida Kikyo felt disdain in her heart but also a bit of pride.
Did they think it was easy for her to endure disgust in the past and put on a smile every day for someone she hated like Yamauchi Haruki?
Let these people experience her feelings too!
Not wanting to serve Hikigaya, so they pushed the task to Kushida?
Although Kushida didn't care.
But when there's something good, they don't think of her, yet when there's dirty work no one wants, they push it all onto Kushida?
If they had been sweet-talkers and said something nice, Kushida would naturally have been willing to enjoy the vanity of being relied upon to do things she didn't like.
But now, on what basis?
Usually, they ignored her.
Yet at a critical moment, they wanted to push the unwanted work onto her.
Kushida was naturally very dissatisfied.
Although what she did was the same as before, the attitude with which she was treated also caused a change in Kushida's heart.
"So what do you want to order?"
"Well, her then. Let her bring over a cup of black tea."
Hikigaya observed for a moment.
There weren't many maids providing handshake services. Finally, his finger pointed to Shinohara's avatar; he remembered this girl was Ike Kanji's girlfriend.
