"I'm sorry."
Looking at Yagami Takuya's expectant expression, Hikigaya flatly induced:
"Then you might have to wait for a while."
"Is that so? Makes sense, Senior Ayanokouji probably needs to make some preparations."
Yagami Takuya chuckled, not minding.
In order to talk with him, Ayanokouji had set such an inescapable web.
This shows the importance attached to him.
Ayanokouji needs some time to prepare.
Understandable.
Yagami Takuya made an arbitrary judgment in his heart; as long as he could meet Ayanokouji, there was no problem.
"Wait."
Horikita Suzune was stirred into even more of a fog and quickly explained:
"I indeed suspect you of stuffing a note into my tent and wanted to investigate the meeting minutes to confirm the handwriting, but I only told Ibuki about this."
"Shut up, Horikita."
Hikigaya interrupted directly, glancing at her: "There's no point in saying these things now."
With that.
Without waiting for the others to speak.
Hikigaya walked in front of Yagami Takuya, looking up and down at this first-year.
"Yagami-kun, you look very confident, as if you don't have a single worry."
"What is there to worry about?"
Yagami Takuya looked around, surrounded by several people yet letting out a light laugh.
Knowing Ayanokouji was coming.
Yagami Takuya had decided to announce the relationship with the White Room.
To make Ayanokouji unable to smile.
Saying without concern:
"Senior Hikigaya, it's impossible for you all to use force against me, but even if it were violence, solving everyone present is an easy task for me."
Oh.
Impressive, impressive.
The strongest person Hikigaya had seen was probably Koenji; he had no concept of the strength they spoke of.
But since Yagami Takuya was so confident, he'd just believe what he said was true.
Arguing with the other party was meaningless.
It felt like Yagami Takuya was not only immersed in the thrill of solving the puzzle but also full of a sense of superiority.
It seemed that except for Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, no one could enter Yagami Takuya's eyes.
Hikigaya didn't even know what the puzzle was.
This didn't matter.
As long as he followed the other party's words, he could achieve his desired goal.
"Then what about Ayanokouji?"
The corner of Hikigaya's mouth lifted slightly: "Why do you think we appeared here?"
"Hmm?"
Yagami Takuya frowned slightly.
Didn't they want to talk with him? He had already explained it.
Only to hear Hikigaya as if confirming:
"Actually, you are the culprit who attacked Komiya!"
"Hmm?"
Yagami Takuya's pupils suddenly narrowed to pinpoints; if it were someone else, he might not believe it.
But if it was Ayanokouji, the masterpiece.
No matter how strong Ayanokouji appeared.
It was all reasonable.
In Yagami Takuya's eyes.
Ayanokouji's strength was like that of a god.
It wouldn't be strange at all if Ayanokouji had already seen through his strategies.
The remaining question was.
Exactly when was he seen through?
Was it on the deserted island when he was considering that a flaw was exposed?
No.
After all, it was that masterpiece.
Perhaps he had already been seen through at the first meeting.
Wait, wait, wait.
The problem that needs to be considered most now is.
Ayanokouji designed to lure him here, obviously not just wanting to talk with him, but to judge him together with Hikigaya and the others.
Thinking of this.
Yagami Takuya's body trembled slightly.
Lost
Lost from the very beginning...
Even before the battle started, he had already lost.
This is impossible.
No, how can it be like this...
Then the only way is to kill Ayanokouji; that way he can return to where he should go, and even in death, he'll take Ayanokouji down with him.
"Understand?"
Hikigaya frowned.
Mentioning Ayanokouji first.
Created the illusion that Ayanokouji had already seen through everything.
Yagami Takuya clearly took the bait, but it felt like this guy's state was a bit off.
"So what? Scum like Komiya and you all who don't know the heights of the heavens and depths of the earth, and even dare to disobey me, should all just go to hell."
Yagami Takuya's gentle expression suddenly became distorted, his whole body exuding an atmosphere that definitely did not belong to an ordinary student, walking slowly toward the several people.
Fortunately.
Being judged by Ayanokouji was not a bad thing for him.
First, knock down the people here; then he'll have a chance for a head-on duel with Ayanokouji.
It seemed not bad.
No, this is simply too great!
That's right.
First knock down the people here, and then duel Ayanokouji.
Thinking of this, Yagami Takuya even felt some excitement.
"Ha, you guy are looking down on people too much." Ibuki Mio suddenly glared at the other party.
"Wait, this guy's state seems a bit off."
Hikigaya pulled Ichinose and Ibuki Mio back a few steps.
He was even more bewildered.
He just saw that Yagami Takuya seemed full of superiority and wanted to induce the other party to say something about Komiya.
In fact, it did succeed.
But he didn't understand at all why this guy suddenly went crazy.
How could he even want them to go to hell?
Having said that.
There were four of them now, four people, eh?
"Ha? What are you afraid of?"
Ibuki Mio shook off Hikigaya's hand, turned, and faced Yagami Takuya together with Horikita Suzune.
"Idiot, can't you see this guy's state is a bit off?"
Hikigaya gritted his teeth, stood in front of Ibuki Mio and Horikita Suzune, and raised his hand to appease Yagami Takuya.
"Yagami-kun, there's no need to be so excited; isn't it fine to just wait a little while?"
Yagami Takuya's state was clearly a bit off.
As a member of the Student Council.
No matter what.
He had the duty to prevent violent incidents from happening.
Although he didn't know if Yagami Takuya was groundlessly arrogant or really powerful enough to explode.
In short.
He still planned for the worst.
Appease this guy first and then talk.
"It seems Senior Hikigaya still has a bit of self-knowledge."
Yagami Takuya let out a cold laugh.
It indeed required waiting, but what should be done more now is to create an environment for a duel between him and Ayanokouji.
After all, the opponent is that masterpiece.
Yagami Takuya also didn't dare to be careless, avoiding the possibility that Hikigaya and the others might intervene later.
"Then if you all tie yourselves up, it is not impossible for me to let you go."
"???"
Hikigaya's face stiffened.
Why did it turn out like this? Exactly what kind of thing was he talking to? Was this guy's brain diseased?
"Although I don't know how you reached such a conclusion."
Hearing this, Horikita Suzune, standing behind him, straightened her posture and said with a cold expression: "But it seems there is something wrong with your head. Do you think you can deal with us all by yourself?"
"That's right, Hikigaya. If you're scared, just hide in the back with Ichinose."
Ibuki Mio's lips curled up slightly as she likewise raised her fists and took a stance.
Even though Yagami Takuya and Amasawa Ichika both gave her a very dangerous feeling, they would not be afraid.
The corner of Hikigaya's mouth twitched in front of them.
Are these two people sick?
Did they think he didn't want to hide?
A man must fulfill the duties of his position.
If it weren't for his identity as the Student Council Vice President, Hikigaya's first reaction would have been to hide in the back.
Clearly, it would be fine just to stall for time; why did they have to escalate the conflict like this?
