Ch 336 - Lost & Found~

"It's true. Hikigaya-kun said that if I marry him, don't divorce later, and if I agree to let him be a househusband, he will pay me 20 million yen for the transfer fee."

"However," Kushida said while paying attention to Sakayanagi's expression.

It's a pity that she is now using her former elegance.

There is no sign of wavering.

So Kushida continued, "The marriage agreement is fake, because who would go to school with something like that?"

"At the same time. Signing now would be very disadvantageous for me. I can't be that stupid. Besides, I'm not the best candidate for Hikigaya-kun," Kushida was also a little lost, "As long as the girl meets his requirements to be a househusband, he should want to try pursuing her."

"Then he is truly a sinner!" Sakayanagi cursed loudly at the board, her lips full of disdain.

At the same time, she also thought Hikigaya-kun now has more than 20 million points, so naturally he can choose different people.

So that's what happened.

'It's a bit unreasonable that Hikigaya-kun intervened so early this time and gave me the position of Student council president for only 5 million.....At the same time, he doesn't seem like someone who would be so proactive. Unless there was some prize attracting him. Was the purpose to capture Ichinose Honami?'

'Judging from the results, Ichinose-san was reborn from ashes in a short period of time. She must have been "saved" by someone. From Hikigaya-kun's point of view, Ichinose-san is indeed better than Kushida-san in every aspect.'

'Then it will be a more suitable object to raise him. Especially, Ichinose-san's character is more reliable than her.'

Sakayanagi was deep thinking.

"Are there any other questions?" Kushida-chan is already quite afraid of the earlier outburst.

"No, thank you for your hard work today," Sakayanagi gave her the way out, but it was more like throwing out her daily trash, "Hikigaya-kun's tricks this time have reduced your effectiveness. You are no longer of any use to me."

"◞‸◟" Kushida.

Right....She is useless like this.

Fuck you! Snort!

She knew that Sakayanagi's true intentions were exposed.

The school acted quickly, and after announcing a ban on rumors yesterday, everything was clear today.

No one dared to talk shit any more.

Two more days passed, and Hachiman was eating in the cafeteria with Suzune.

Now that exams are approaching, he is still studying in Horikita's group.

Of course, it's to set an example.

Work hard now, then act awesome during exams, and inspire other students, making them think to get good grades by working hard.

In fact, this is truth, but many people become lazy and retreat when they don't see immediate success.

So it's not a complete scam.

But after Hikigaya came back from queuing, he suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong, Hikigaya-kun?"

"It seems that my room card has fallen....."

"...." Suzune almost slapped her forehead, "Then let's go to Student council's Lost & Found."

The correct approach is to recall where the key card might be and where it might have been lost, just like Asahina-senpai lost her amulet and went back the same way to look for it.

Actually, Suzune just wants to see how her elder brother is doing.

Because the student council president was called back suddenly, she was a little worried about her brother's special exam this month.

However, in reality, school no longer gives third graders special exams with scores exceeding 500 points, so Class A of third grade is definitely a safe bet.

However, Hachiman felt that his memory was pretty good and things were not so easy to lose, so he decided to accompany Suzune on the trip.

"Why are you guys——"

Met an acquaintance at the door.

A cute girl with a golden ponytail.

Karuizawa Kei.

"I lost my room card, so I came to see if there was anything in Lost and found," Hikigaya was now staring at her pocket.

"Then it's really yours," Karuizawa stretched out her left hand and handed over a yellow room card.

"President called me here and said there was a room card that looked like yours at Lost and found. It was found by a first-year class C stud----"

"You have my brother's phone number?" Suzune couldn't believe this girl, who is just a scumbag in studies and exploit all her money in daily shopping or whatnot.

"• •" Karuizawa felt a hostile and jealous glare? "Come again....?"

Hachiman glanced at number on the room card. It was indeed his, but he was worried about by Manabu.

'By the way, why does the President know my room number?' This is also the first time that Hachiman brings Suzune to meet Manabu.

Previously, he was concerned that Horikita Suzune might have a negative impact on Manabu, but now he doesn't have to worry about that.

A sister who climbed from Class D to Class A is still very impressive.

At least it won't embarrass Manabu.

And now there is only Horikita Manabu in the Student council.

He was dealing with the pile of documents.

Hachiman then gently patted Horikita Suzune's shoulder and gave the brother and sister some time.

He stood outside the door like a gentleman, but found that Karuizawa had not left.

"You..." Karuizawa seemed to have something she really wanted to ask.

But seemed to be hesitant again.

"Go ahead," Hikigaya-kun said sympathetically.

"Um, your rumor—" She finally asked.

'It must be Hikigaya-kun who deliberately spread the rumor that she and Kushida-san were going to get married after graduation.'

The composition of a rumor must contain some truth and some exaggeration.

But Hachiman felt there was another possibility.

That is, even if it is true, but some people find it unbelievable, it will be regarded as a rumor.

So he calmly told Karuizawa about the agreement he had made.

Although he often hear Kushida blabbering about some of the trivial matters among classmates, many people can serve as material for rumors.

But Hikigaya didn't intend to attack these classmates.

So secret of only one or two tools was spread as a rumor.

"That's not a rumor, Karuizawa. Didn't I ask you about this before?"

Did Hikigaya-kun ask her?

Of course he asked.

Ask her about her future development. Then ask her if she is willing to support him after graduation if she is given 20 million.

At that time, Karuizawa did not give a reply. But now.

"I didn't expect that Kushida-san would agree directly!" Upon hearing the news, Karuizawa just seemed shocked.

"She wanted to be protected, so we made a deal."

"...." Karuizawa. 'Then isn't it the same as me? I also need someone to help me feel at ease.'

'As a result, has this position been replaced by Kushida-san now?' She instantly felt a little regretful.

But at this time, Suzune had already walked out of the office.

So Karuizawa didn't feel comfortable continuing to talk to Hikigaya-kun and walked away silently.

"How is it, Horikita?"

"...My brother said he hopes to see me more when I am free," Suzune answered honestly, "Watch old cartoons together like at home when I was little....." she seemed a bit teary.

It seems there should be no problem with exam for 3rd grade.

"Looking at Nii-san, I always feel that he seems to be very nervous. Or rather, I didn't expect that my brother would have this side. That is to say, at critical moment, it is particularly tormenting for one's mind, for fear of taking a wrong step and then destroying all past efforts...." Suzune was taking it in a negative direction.

"Then, we don't need to worry, Horikita. Because our class won't be competing with A at the end, or worry about being surpassed by lower-ranked classes. So we won't experience this sense of urgency."

"You just focus on spending family time with your brother. Since, you won't be able to see each other for two years after he leaves, right?"

"....." Suzune.

Class B is now in such a rotten state that it is difficult to preserve most, and just impossible to continue chasing Class A.

Suzune had already figured this out.

That's why, she now asked about the matter that concerned her, "Is this end of the matter with Ichinose-san?"

Is it over like this?

Not really.

Because Hachiman still has to go to chairman's office to exchange 5 million points into cash and then send it to Ichinose family.

And this is also reason why he specially invited Horikita Suzune to dinner today.

That is... According to Ichinose's story, Hachiman discovered that her mother should be a very stubborn and strong person.

But he can't blame others from the perspective of being rich.

Poverty is the original sin.

Poor people carry a pair of shackles and cannot easily make mistakes.

They are even prone to losing their self-esteem and increasing inferiority complex.

Therefore, even if it seems like normal goodwill, the other party will be extremely suspicious.

Therefore, even if Hachiman converted the points into cash and sent it out in Ichinose's name, there is a possibility that her mother would not use the money.

She even worried that her daughter might have obtained it through some unethical means.

Then, no point left in improving the family's financial situation.

So, he needs to provide a written certificate.

He has already written Ichinose's copy, and there is also Hikigaya's.

When it comes to writing, you can't make up stories at random.

The school's rules cannot be disclosed.

Then he gets to know Ichinose, learns about her family background, and hopes to get married after graduation.

This money can be summarized as a betrothal gift.

Then Ichinose's family can use it with peace of mind.

Only, Hachiman has never been married, so when writing a letter to his mother-in-law, he has to be careful not to make it seem that Ichinose wants to marry him after graduation just for money, or that he simply wants to deceive Ichinose, so his feelings have to be sincere.

From this perspective, this requirement is still too difficult.

'I can only ask Horikita, who is also quite stubborn, to think about it. If someone as stubborn as Horikita Suzune thinks it's feasible, then it's good to mail.'

Hachiman had plans.
