"Hachiman-kun, say 'Ah~'"
Karuizawa Kei held a spoonful of ice cream up to Hikigaya's face.
"Can we be serious and just eat our own food?" Hikigaya had a serious look on his face.
"Da~~"
"No way!"
Both Matsushita Chiaki and Sato Maya held their spoons out toward him as well.
"You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?"
Hikigaya's dead-fish eyes beca even deeper. If looks could be turned into blades, he probably would have been sliced into a thousand pieces by the surrounding gazes already!
"Tch! That Hikigaya from your class really is a scumbag!" In a booth in a corner, Manabe Shiho spoke with a look of displeasure.
"It's normal for a capable man to be surrounded by several girls, isn't it?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka offered an evaluation with an expressionless face.
"No wonder there isn't a single girl around you. So weak!"
Manabe Shiho looked at the man in front of her with contempt.
"Aren't you here?" Ayanokouji Kiyotaka focused his gaze steadily on her.
"Huh?
What kind of joke is that?
I only agreed to co out and et you so I could mock you."
Not long ago, she had received an invitation ssage from Ayanokouji.
While feeling resentful, Manabe Shiho's mood was also sowhat subtle.
"I know. Because of the last exam, you hold a prejudice against .
But that was not of my own will; Hikigaya forced to do it."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka spoke pure nonsense with a straight face. Judging by his expression, which remained unchanged from beginning to end, one really couldn't see any flaws.
"Don't try to shift the bla! You lied to , that's a fact!" Manabe Shiho glared at him fiercely.
"That's why this ti, I want to make it up to you." Ayanokouji proactively took Manabe's hand.
"Wha-what compensation?!"
A flicker of hesitation appeared in Manabe Shiho's eyes. Looking closely, the Ayanokouji in front of her actually had a handso face.
Although his reputation wasn't great, to a real gyaru like Manabe Shiho, being "delinquent" was actually a bonus!
"I plan to tell you the na of the VIP for the Rabbit Group." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka looked serious.
"Really? By the way, how do you know who the Rabbit Group VIP is?" Facing a great gift delivered to her door, Manabe Shiho felt suspicious and uncertain.
"That person is from Class D, nad Ike Kanji. I took the chance to peek at his phone while he was showering."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka made it sound very convincing.
"I haven't seen the ssage with my own eyes, how can I prove what you're saying is true?" Manabe Shiho was half-doubting.
"Please believe , Manabe." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka pressed Manabe's hand against his chest.
"..." Being able to clearly feel the other person's heartbeat, Manabe Shiho couldn't help but feel her cheeks grow hot.
"But, Ryuen said he has already found the pattern of the VIPs and forbids anyone from submitting an answer recklessly..."
Hearing this important piece of intelligence, Ayanokouji's pupils shrunk slightly.
'No ti to trick her slowly... I must use strong dicine!'
"Manabe, would you rather listen to Ryuen than ? Do you like him?"
"No! It's not like that at all...!"
Manabe Shiho was both anxious and angry: "Bah! I could like anyone, but it's impossible for to like that violent maniac!!"
"Then listen to , okay?"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka pulled hard on her hand, pulling her into his embrace.
"Eh-eh?!" Slling the masculine hormonal scent so close at hand, Manabe Shiho's cheeks turned crimson: "Re-really, there's just no doing with you..."
'I've got her. The victor is !'
A cold, sharp light flashed in Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's eyes.
By chance, his gaze t the eyes of Hikigaya, who had looked over inadvertently. With just one look, Hikigaya knew Ayanokouji was deceiving the woman.
This guy's heart really was black enough!
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had a different view. In his eyes, since Hikigaya could maintain close relationships with multiple girls at once, he must be using a mix of coaxing and deception.
By comparison, he was only catching one girl to deceive; that shouldn't be a big deal, right?
"Hey~ Hikigaya, where are you looking?"
"Huh? Is that Ayanokouji and Manabe Shiho from Class C?"
Following his line of sight, the girls also discovered the two sitting close together in the corner.
"What kind of taste is that? Actually taking a liking to such a low-level boy."
Sato Maya had a look of disgust. In Class D, Ayanokouji's reputation had already dropped to the sa level as Yamauchi's.
"Ayanokouji... he's the X that Ryuen is targeting?" Matsushita Chiaki's eyes moved slightly. On the surface, one couldn't see anything special about this man at all.
"That guy Ayanokouji, he wouldn't be betraying the class, would he?" Karuizawa Kei still had a significant shadow in her heart from being cornered by Manabe and the others before.
"Stay away from Ayanokouji in the future.
That guy is a dangerous 'pseudo-human.'"
Hikigaya's brow furrowed slightly. His attitude toward Ayanokouji had always been to maintain distance while keeping twelve points of vigilance!

Afternoon tea ended. Hikigaya received a text ssage. Seeing that the sender was Ryuen Kakeru, Hikigaya was originally too lazy to bother. However, after glancing at the content, he felt a slight spark of interest.
A certain conference hall.
When Hikigaya arrived, he found that several people had already gathered in the hall. They were: Katsuragi Kohei, Hashimoto Masayoshi, Ichinose Honami, Kanzaki Ryuji, Hirata Yosuke, Kushida Kikyo, Horikita Suzune, and Ryuen Kakeru.
People from all four classes—A, B, C, and D—were present, and the number of people from each class varied, which made one wonder.
"Ryuen, are you the only one from Class C?" Katsuragi Kohei was the first to ask.
"Nonsense! That is the fundantal reason why I am far ahead of all of you!"
Ryuen Kakeru had an arrogant and triumphant look. This showed that he had absolute authority in Class C!
"I cannot agree with that. I firmly support Ichinose's position." Kanzaki Ryuji stated his stance.
"Thank you for your trust, Kanzaki-kun. I believe that unity is strength!" Ichinose Honami clenched her small fists, full of energy.
"It's really enviable..." Hashimoto Masayoshi spoke as the representative of the Sakayanagi faction.
"Four people ca from our class, which shows that everyone is very outstanding!" Hirata Yosuke gave a sunny smile. However, as soon as these words ca out, everyone else on the scene showed a strange expression.
Simply because the more people who ca, the more it proved that Class D was, even now, a loose pile of sand!
From a political science perspective: Class A belonged to a two-party system.
Class B belonged to a political alliance of a leader and a deputy.
Class C belonged to a dictator.
Class D was still in the era of primitive tribal conflict.
