"Does Yagami-kun feel there is a necessity for us to tie ourselves up? Can you tell us the reason first?"
Hikigaya used his eyes to restrain Horikita Suzune and Ibuki Mio.
The two completely ignored him.
Since Yagami Takuya wanted to make a move, they naturally wouldn't just surrender, nor would they be afraid.
"Yes, Yagami-kun, in any case, please calm down first."
Ichinose hurriedly ran to Hikigaya's side, and together they tried to soothe this fellow whose state was somewhat—not right.
"The reason is very simple."
Yagami Takuya gave a cold laugh:
"Since the matter of attacking Komiya has been discovered, my expulsion is a 100% certainty. I might as well take this opportunity to have a duel with Ayanokouji-senpai. If you are sensible, tie yourselves up; otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Hikigaya was somewhat speechless.
He easily made a judgment in his heart.
Thinking he was going to be expelled, he simply wanted to settle the score with Ayanokouji.
This guy not only had a massive superiority complex, but was also so extreme and arrogant.
"Hikigaya, Ichinose, what is the point of saying so much to this guy?"
Walking to their side, Horikita Suzune's voice was cold.
Clearly, Hikigaya was deliberately using Ayanokouji to induce Yagami Takuya into investigating the matter of Komiya.
He didn't expect Yagami Takuya to confess so easily.
It seemed to have something to do with Ayanokouji.
Simply incomprehensible.
Just at that moment.
A phone rang, and Hikigaya immediately looked toward the entrance.
"Come in."
Creak.
The door of the Student Council room was pushed open from the outside. Yagami Takuya looked back with an excited expression.
Only to see Ryuuen.
And two students from Class C pushed the door open and entered, accompanied by the two class advisors, Sakagami and Mashima.
"Ha? Ryuuen, what are you doing here?"
Ibuki, being the first to react, was somewhat surprised.
"Oh, this look..."
As soon as Ryuuen spoke, he felt the atmosphere was a bit off.
Yagami Takuya stood in front of Hikigaya's group of four, as if the two sides were in a standoff.
"What happened?"
"What's going on, this?"
Yagami Takuya likewise asked, unable to understand.
"Actually, Ichinose and I came to the Student Council to have a talk with Ryuuen."
So saying.
Hikigaya patted Ichinose's small hand, letting them step back, then circled around at a distance to Ryuuen's side.
"Impossible, exactly what is going on here?"
Yagami Takuya still could not hide the confusion on his face.
"Incomprehensible."
Ryuuen looked back at Komiya and the others and asked: "Is this the guy you were talking about?"
"Yes, it's him."
"Mhm, it's him."
Hearing this.
Ryuuen walked toward Yagami Takuya with a smile on his face, reaching out to grab the other's hair:
"I really need to have a good talk with you, kid."
However.
Before he could reach the wrist, it was firmly gripped by Hikigaya: "Wait a moment."
"Hikigaya, what do you mean by this?"
Ryuuen immediately narrowed his eyes and said: "You should have also heard Komiya and the others identify Yagami as the culprit who caused Komiya's serious injury, right?"
"I heard it."
Hikigaya gripped Ryuuen's wrist, glacing out of the corner of his eye at Yagami Takuya, whose arm was slightly trembling, and said with a serious expression:
"And just now Yagami also admitted to the fact of ambushing Komiya. But even so, this matter is to be resolved by the school and the Student Council. You do not have the power to take action on your own."
Hikigaya truly felt things were looking bad; he couldn't continue to provoke Yagami Takuya. This guy's heart seemed extremely fragile.
Whether it was Yagami Takuya, Ryuuen, or Ibuki.
As the Student Council Vice President.
He had the obligation to prevent violent incidents from occurring.
At least Hikigaya and Ichinose obviously both thought so; otherwise, what would they need the Student Council for?
Though the ones who thought so might only be the two of them.
"Hm? Is that so?"
Ryuuen narrowed his eyes, and thinking of the consequences of strictly prohibiting violence, although he was somewhat displeased, he still said coldly:
"Then I hope Vice President Hikigaya can make a fair judgment."
So saying.
Ryuuen turned to look at Horikita Suzune with some doubt.
"So, what are you doing here, Suzune?"
"Me? I also wanted to investigate the matter regarding Yagami-kun."
Horikita Suzune gazed coldly at Yagami Takuya.
The two of them seemed to have the attitude of continuing to apply pressure on the other, driving the other into a corner.
"This is the Student Council. You don't have any authority to investigate on your own. Isn't that right, Mashima-sensei?"
Hikigaya hurriedly spoke up, staring coldly at Ryuuen and Horikita Suzune.
Damn it.
Every single one of them is like this.
They can clearly see Yagami Takuya's state is a bit off, yet they still keep thinking about continuing to apply pressure to scout for information.
Receiving an acknowledging response from Advisor Mashima, Ryuuen and Horikita Suzune both kept their faces cold and didn't speak.
Yagami Takuya was obviously already close to the edge of collapse.
Clearly such a good opportunity.
Hikigaya, with this cowardly appearance, actually told the two of them to shut up.
What's more.
Yagami Takuya had hurt Komiya, and Ryuuen really wanted to give the other a beating.
Simply detestable.
"Yagami-kun."
Hikigaya tried to keep his tone as gentle as possible to soothe him: "Do you have anything you want to say?"
"So, just now Hikigaya, you were bluffing me, and Ayanokouji isn't coming at all?"
Yagami Takuya clenched his fists, his face distorted to the extreme.
He only now realized that Hikigaya had just been inducing and bluffing him all along.
"He will come."
Hikigaya pressed his hands down, as if remembering a book saying this had the effect of soothing the other's emotions, and only then explained:
"Horikita wanted to investigate you, so she came to look for some meeting records or whatever. Since you suspect there is a problem with the love letter and that you were set up by Ayanokouji, it is necessary for the Student Council to notify Ayanokouji and Ichihashi to come over for a confrontation."
Although he had induced Yagami Takuya.
Whether it was him or Horikita Suzune unauthorizedly investigating meeting records, or Ryuuen wanting to unauthorizedly use violence.
Every single one of them had problems.
Official business is official business.
Hikigaya would not favor any one person just because Yagami Takuya was in the wrong.
Since Yagami Takuya suspected he was set up by Ayanokouji.
By all reason.
It was necessary to summon Ayanokouji over for a confrontation.
"Wait."
Horikita Suzune knitted her brows, pointing at Yagami Takuya with some displeasure:
"Right now it's obvious this guy ambushed Komiya during the uninhabited island, and even stuffed a note in my tent. Obviously Yagami is playing devious tricks behind the scenes."
"Vice President Hikigaya, even if you want us to shut up, I hope you can conduct official business officially."
Horikita Suzune seriously suspected.
Wanting to target Ayanokouji was just wanting to involve Class D.
"Phew..."
Hikigaya took a deep breath, nearly exploding with anger, and gazed coldly at Horikita Suzune:
"You appeared in the Student Council at this time because you wanted to investigate Yagami, right? Since Yagami suspects our appearance here is related to Ayanokouji, then it is also necessary to investigate Ayanokouji, isn't it?"
"Is it only permitted for you to unauthorizedly investigate others, and not permitted for others to investigate you?"
"Looking at it now, Yagami Takuya has indeed done some bad things in the background, but can you guarantee that Ayanokouji hasn't done anything in the background?"
"All of this needs to be investigated."
"Doesn't it?"
Hikigaya was totally fed up.
Yagami Takuya did bad things and was targeted by everyone, but you guys aren't clean either, so why shouldn't people be allowed to investigate.
Just as Yagami Takuya said.
If that love letter carried some kind of code.
Obviously.
Hikigaya also realized that he might have been used without knowing it.
Then check it!
Not just the Ayanokouji in Yagami's mouth, but also Ichihashi, and everyone who handled the love letter must all be checked.
Not just to maintain fairness for Komiya.
To let Yagami Takuya receive the punishment he deserved, while at the same time maintaining fairness for Yagami Takuya.
Clearly.
Hikigaya was going to investigate to the very end.
Those who like to do little tricks, not one person behind it should think of escaping.
