Chapter 159 Ichinose Is A Criminal, A Woman Who Doesn’T Know It

Early morning on February 11th.

There was still some time before school, and Hikigaya was sitting at the low table enjoying his breakfast while scrolling through his phone.

Kushida Kikyo, Sakura Airi, Shiina Hiyori, Karuizawa Kei.

They all wanted to invite him out to meet, and were concerned about Ichinose's current situation, but Hikigaya - replied that it was okay and declined the invitation.

They are all in different classes anyway.

Apart from Shiina Hiyori's book club and Sakura Airi's ramen invitation, there was really no reason to meet.

These were not the reasons for the two meeting this time.

Naturally, there is no need to meet them.

Honestly.

Hikigaya was also a little curious about the recent rumors. After a long time, he opened the Do Not Disturb class group and browsed through it casually.

The atmosphere in the class group has obviously changed from being tense at the beginning to being cheerful recently.

Most likely, Ichinose's silent countermeasures had an effect.

After all, she is the Archangel Ichinose, and she is highly praised in the school. Such false accusations cannot last long.

It has probably evolved into speculations such as "As expected of Ichinose", "It turns out that rumors are just rumors", "It was completely fabricated", "It turned out to be lies".

Rumors can only spread for a while.

The strong Ichinose Honami is not afraid of the rumors and cannot be defeated by such rumors.

"Just say don't worry."

Hikigaya couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed, and left the dormitory after breakfast.

Dormitory hall.

Every time I go to school, I usually get stuck, so there are not many people in the hall, but there is still a conversation between two people that attracts Hikigaya's attention.

The two of them were standing in front of the mailbox, flipping through the contents.

"Look quickly, there should be some over there, right?"

"It's such a pity that we didn't see such a good show yesterday."

"Tell me, is Ichinose really a criminal?"

Hear the conversation between the two.

Hikigaya frowned and stopped immediately. Soon he saw the two of them taking out an A4 paper from the mailbox.

There is some distance between them.

Therefore, the content cannot be seen clearly.

But the two guys seemed to be satisfied and left, but listening to the conversation just now seemed that everyone had a share.

Hikigaya walked to the mailbox and opened his own mailbox.

As expected, there was a folded A4 paper lying inside.

[Ichinose Honami is a criminal. ]

Hikigaya opened it and was a little confused.

this

Apparently everyone has a copy in their mailbox, a total of 480 people in the school.

This is no longer spreading rumors, but a defamation, which is a crime that can be convicted even in society.

unless.

What Sakayanagi said was true and she had solid evidence, and Ichinose Honami is a real criminal, while Sakayanagi is just telling the truth and cannot be considered a criminal.

But.

That kind and upright, even somewhat saintly Ichinose.

Could she be a criminal?

Hikigaya really couldn't figure out what crime Ichinose would commit, but he didn't think Sakayanagi would be an idiot either.

If the two of them compared.

We can only accept the conclusion that Ichinose is a criminal, which is obviously more reliable.

But even so.

Hikigaya doesn't think this is a big problem either.

After all, Ichinose's character is like that, even if she commits a crime, it may not be an unforgivable sin.

Most of them were probably minor mistakes.

Just like the shit daddy always likes to touch people's lighters, if this was considered a crime, he would have been shot eight hundred times.

Even Hikigaya himself.

When he was in elementary school, he would secretly exchange recorders with girls, or borrow an eraser that wasn't broken, and so on.

Or lying.

For example like he is still at home, but he said that he is on the way. It is obviously a lie that hurts the other person and takes up the other person's time. Cheating is also a crime.

If he count them carefully.

Almost everyone is a sinner.

It's not that she looks down on Ichinose, Hikigaya really doesn't think she can commit any serious crimes.

Although Hikigaya won't take it to heart, the people in Class B probably won't either.

But.

In this case.

I wonder if she can persist in such rumors.

the most important is.

Since Sakayanagi was confident, she was telling the truth.

Even if there is evidence that Ichinose is a criminal, it will be useless. After all, she just told the truth.

How to stop such slanderous rumors about her.

No matter how strong Ichinose is, it is impossible for her to persist forever. It seems that she can only look at Ichinose.

Class 1-B.

Hikigaya just walked into the classroom.

Kanzaki's suppressed angry voice was heard.

"Yesterday I went to Keyaki Shopping Center to investigate, but unfortunately I couldn't find the source of the print.

"Hikigaya."

Shibata was also a little angry and said: "Do you know about the rumors?"

"Yes"

Hikigaya raised the A4 paper in his hand and walked back to his seat and said:

"Probably using the printer in some club or teacher's office."

As long as you can find the right excuse.

It's not difficult to borrow a printer from a teacher's office.

In this case.

If they want to investigate at Keyaki Mall.

I'm afraid they won't be able to find any useful clues.

Rather, if it were Hikigaya himself, he would do this and never let anyone find the evidence.

The key question is.

Even if he find it, it's useless.

After all, Sakayanagi might be telling the truth.

But Kanzaki and the others actually thought it was a rumor. They must have been blinded by anger.

Hikigaya doesn't intend to speak his mind.

After all, this is Ichinose's personal matter, so it shouldn't be a serious sin, and it wouldn't be good to make the decision for her without permission.

Although he didn't know what Sakayanagi meant by doing this.

but.

Since Sakayanagi wants to use this to defeat Class B.

Probably because she wanted to make them suspicious of Ichinose and fight among themselves, it was better not to say unnecessary words.

not to mention.

Even if he said what's in his mind, it probably wouldn't have any effect.

On the contrary, he is more likely to be questioned by Class B. 

"Is that so?"

Kanzaki and others came back immediately. Shibata looked at Hikigaya helplessly:

"Then what should we do now? This can no longer be explained by rumors. Should we apply to the school for investigation and surveillance.

"Don't ask me."

Hikigaya was speechless.

This is obviously Ichinose's own business. If Ichinose can confess his past, I believe Class B will accept it calmly...

By then, everything will be fine.

after all.

Ichinose is kind and gentle, and has done so much for the class this year. I believe everyone can see it.

Even if there are some stains.

I believe it will not shake their opinion of Ichinose.

otherwise.

Class B wouldn't have the happy and harmonious side it is now. Everyone's love for Ichinose is real.

In the end, it still depends on Ichinose.

It didn't take long.

Ichinose walked into Class B.

For her, there are almost no situations where she gets stuck in school like this.

"Honami-chan."

Shiranami Chihiro and others came close to Ichinose, their faces full of worry.

"it's okay."

Ichinose carelessly touched her little head,

Show a bright smile:

"Didn't I tell you everything yesterday? I don't care about such a trivial matter.

"I'm sorry, I've made you guys worry because of my affairs, but please don't take it to heart."

"Look, aren't I fine today?"

Ichinose walked through the crowd, returned to her seat, greeted the people around her and started chatting without any abnormalities.

And the other side.

'Today...

Hikigaya held his cheek with his right hand and observed the scene in front of him.

Obviously.

Ichinose has no confidence in how long she can hold on, and it would not be surprising if she collapsed tomorrow.

But.

Why not just confess.

As long as Ichinose confesses, I believe everyone can accept it calmly, even if the stain is more serious, it doesn't matter.

At least.

Hikigaya thinks so.

Although the results were not ideal, everyone saw Ichinose's dedication.

He can't help it.

Hikigaya thought about the cruise ship again.

The scene of Ichinose looking at the sea alone.

Maybe it's a lack of confidence.

After all, the grades of Class B are not bad, but they are indeed not ideal. I'm afraid Ichinose is also a little guilty.

I wonder if she can live up to everyone's expectations.

Afraid of being criticized by everyone.

Afraid of losing companions you now cherish.

'It's just a fake. '

Hikigaya suddenly felt a little disappointed.

The relationship that would be lost in this way is undoubtedly just a fake.

This should obviously be the case, but Hikigaya knows it very well.

Ichinose's worries are unnecessary. She has the most real feelings among everyone, feelings that are enviable.

As long as Ichinose opens his mouth, everyone will accept this kind of Ichinose.

But this is a bit troublesome.

Ichinose didn't want to speak.

Hikigaya knows very well that as a member of Class B, once he opens his mouth, he will cause infighting in the class.

Not only will it only increase the pressure on Ichinose, but he will also supporting Sakayanagi Arisu's plans.

What a terrible woman.

but.

Ichinose pretended that nothing happened, which really made Hikigaya uncomfortable.

Ichinose doesn't know how enviable she is.

Since Ichinose wants to silent, Hikigaya will not do anything unnecessary.

As long as Ichinose can hold on.

Not that it's a big deal. .
