"What on earth was that guy here for?"
Hikigaya was truly concerned.
Being able to enter the school.
Instead of looking for his son, he ran over to give him a piece of advice.
Only one thing could be confirmed.
Wanting to have Ayanokouji expelled was simply a breeze; just send some people to put a sack over him and take him away.
Perhaps the means wouldn't be so crude.
But wanting to have Ayanokouji Kiyotaka expelled was indeed an easy task.
After the lunch break.
Approaching 3 PM.
Hikigaya received a call from Ryuuen.
Supposedly it was to discuss Komiya's matter with him, making an appointment to meet at the Student Council.
"Hmm..."
Hikigaya was somewhat helpless.
Becoming the Student Council Vice President, such official business was indeed unavoidable.
Contacting him.
It should be the same as Horikita Suzune and the others, viewing Ichinose as his puppet and judging that he is actually in charge of the Student Council.
Although most of the time it is like this.
Hikigaya still notified Ichinose, and the two met at the entrance of the Special Teaching Building.
"Sorry for leaving all of Nakanishi's matters to you."
Looking at Ichinose's slightly flushed face, Hikigaya said somewhat apologetically:
"It's really tiring, right? Leave the matters on Ryuuen's side to me."
"That's not the case."
Ichinose adjusted her breathing for a moment, a bright smile appearing on her face as she took Hikigaya's arm.
"I'm also happy to do things for everyone; it's not tiring at all. It's just that doing this will surely make everyone feel it's very cunning, right?"
"They should think it's very despicable; how's the situation?"
This matter was naturally discussed with Ichinose as well.
Not knowing if she was influenced by him, Ichinose could also slightly accept some despicable little tricks.
"It's gotten a bit big, especially Hosen-kun from the first year."
Ichinose said somewhat helplessly: "Although this matter indeed doesn't violate rules, Nanase also looks a bit conflicted. In the end, I had Nakanishi withdraw the shop. It should be fine, right?"
"Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem."
Hikigaya nodded nonchalantly.
Although the school really does respect students' autonomy.
This kind of despicable little trick could directly kill more than half of the classes.
Even if some classes realized it later.
Wanting to retaliate in kind, at most, all classes would go down together.
Causing the cultural festival to be unable to continue.
But Ichinose's heart softened; it wasn't a big problem either.
Having a head start of a few hours was enough to pull ahead.
Student Council room.
Ichinose pushed open the door, Hikigaya following behind, and a bizarre scene appeared before the two.
Ibuki Mio, dressed in a kimono, was pressing her right hand on Yagami Takuya's shoulder and grabbing his wrist with her left hand, capturing him.
Yagami Takuya, with his upper body bent, seemed to have a painful expression, while Horikita Suzune stood to the side with a flat expression.
"What are you doing?"
"What on earth happened?"
Hikigaya and Ichinose spoke to stop them almost simultaneously, but Hikigaya leaned toward questioning.
What the hell.
As soon as they entered, they saw Ibuki Mio beating Yagami Takuya?
Bold enough to pierce the sky?
Didn't they just say campus violence is strictly prohibited? Did they just treat his words as farts?
Looking at Hikigaya who suddenly appeared in the Student Council room, Ibuki Mio then let go.
"Saved, President Ichinose, Vice President Hikigaya."
Yagami Takuya seemed relieved, stretching his body.
"The three of you, why are you here?"
Ichinose silently stood in the middle, completely separating the three, her gaze finally resting on Ibuki Mio.
"Also, please explain the situation just now."
At the same time.
Hikigaya also frowned and stood in front of Horikita Suzune.
Although it felt somewhat inexplicable, the cultural festival was currently ongoing; for the three of them to appear here at this time was already a problem.
Moreover, Ryuuen was not seen yet.
Entering the room and seeing two seniors bullying Yagami Takuya.
Although none of the three seemed like the type to use violence randomly, it was more likely that Horikita Suzune and Ibuki Mio were the ones with a problem.
However.
Unexpectedly.
As the victim, Yagami Takuya explained with a smile:
"Senior Horikita lost her notebook, and I wanted to help find it. Senior Ibuki thought I was going to attack Senior Horikita, so it became what you saw just now."
"I see. Then Yagami-kun isn't injured, right?"
"Thanks to exercising regularly, I'm not really injured."
Hearing Ichinose's concern, Yagami Takuya explained with a smile: "I think the misunderstanding has been cleared, so let's not pursue it further, right?"
Upon hearing this.
Horikita Suzune gave him a flat look.
Clearly she came to investigate the meeting minutes, to confirm whether Yagami Takuya's handwriting was consistent with the handwriting on the note from the deserted island.
To put it simply.
She came to investigate Yagami Takuya; she didn't expect Yagami Takuya would conversely cover for her.
Then just let things take their course; Horikita Suzune did not object.
"Hmm?"
Hikigaya turned and looked back and forth at the people.
To be honest.
A complete fog...
As the victim, Yagami Takuya actually easily forgave the two.
That was nothing.
Since the victim had forgiven them, Hikigaya was too lazy to care about these messy matters.
Only.
The fact that the three of them appeared here already constituted a problem.
Ibuki Mio appearing here alone was obviously unrelated to Ryuuen's appointment with him, and she seemed to be on the same side as Horikita Suzune.
Things were a bit bizarre.
"In that case."
Hikigaya frowned.
Looking at Yagami Takuya and Ibuki Mio in front of him, he questioned:
"Then what about you two? Why are you appearing here?"
"Ibuki-san happened to run into me."
Without waiting for Yagami Takuya to explain, Horikita Suzune pointed at Yagami Takuya and said with a flat expression:
"But Yagami's appearance here is no accident. Yagami-kun followed me here, or rather, he has been guarding the vicinity of the Student Council room from the beginning."
Just right to take this opportunity.
To push Yagami Takuya into a corner and get the answer she wanted.
On the other side.
Hmm?
Hikigaya's frown deepened.
What, what, what?
Although he was completely confused and didn't understand what happened at all.
Only.
Horikita Suzune gave him a worse impression.
As the victim, Yagami Takuya did not entangle much and easily forgave them; Horikita Suzune accepted it by default while backstabbing him in return.
At least.
In the eyes of Hikigaya and Ichinose, it was like this.
Forget it.
Since Yagami Takuya treated the violent behavior of the two as a misunderstanding, and Horikita Suzune pointed back at the other party.
Although he didn't understand what happened, it was fine to handle it as official business...
Ichinose and Hikigaya turned toward Yagami:
"Horikita said so. Yagami-kun, you should also know that lying is meaningless. As long as the surveillance is checked, it will be easy to find the truth."
"Eh."
Looking at Horikita, Hikigaya, and the others standing together, Yagami Takuya's heart throbbed and the pressure increased sharply; he then let out a sigh.
