"Sliding down from the cliffside...
Isn't that a bit too extre?!"
Hikigaya was startled and spoke with a hint of reproach: "Didn't we agree that if you found they had already occupied it, the mission was cancelled?"
To be fair, Hikigaya's little ambush was just to cause trouble for Class A; it was a pure whim and not a critical matter. If it had been him, he would have given up the mont he saw Class A heading down the stairs. Who would have thought Koenji Rokusuke would go all out like that!
"Hmph!
I am not in the habit of standing by and watching others snatch things away. Besides, a re cliffside is no challenge for the beautiful ."
Koenji Rokusuke struck a pose and ran his hand through his hair, failing to notice that blood was seeping from the back of his hand and dripping down his forehead. It looked quite grisly!
"Fine, I owe you one. Follow ."
Hikigaya led him to the tent and opened the dical kit. Inside were external injury tools like alcohol, gauze, and povidone-iodine, as well as internal dications like cold dicine, anti-inflammatories, and fever reducers. It was quite comprehensive.
"Is Fish-Eye Boy going to treat my wounds? What a pity. At a ti like this, I was hoping for a beautiful girl to handle it..." Koenji Rokusuke let out a sigh of regret.
"In your dreams."
Hikigaya skillfully disinfected the wounds with alcohol, applied the iodine, and finally bandaged them with gauze.
"Oh? Fish Spa is more skilled than expected." Koenji looked at the neatly applied gauze on the back of his hand.
"That's because I have extensive experience taking care of my younger sister... And what the hell is 'Fish Spa'? Like those fish that eat dead skin? Do you think you're being funny?" Hikigaya shot him an annoyed glare.
"Fish-Eye Boy's sister? I imagine she must be an interesting girl. Introduce when you have a chan—"
Before Koenji could finish, he suddenly felt sothing pressed against his throat.
"Get rid of those incredibly stupid thoughts, or I will absolutely make you 'un-beautiful'."
Hikigaya used his hand like a sword, pointing his fingers like a rapier directly at the other's throat.
"!"
Koenji's pupils shrank, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
'The "Biu Jee" (thrusting fingers) from Jeet Kune Do... this invisible sword represents Hikigaya Hachiman's resolve! If we went all out, even I would pay a significant price. It wouldn't be worth the loss.'
"Apologies. I take back my previous statent."
Hikigaya didn't respond imdiately. He continued to stare at the other for a long mont before withdrawing his hand.
"Hmph. Even if you're loose-lipped, you should know when to stop. Don't lightly touch soone's 'reverse scale' (sore spot). Even if you're a young master of a financial conglorate, you only have one life." Hikigaya warned.
"Haha! Are you angry?" Koenji patted his shoulder as if to make peace. "As an apology, how about I introduce my sister to you?"
"Huh? You... are you actually a brother?" Hikigaya was utterly speechless.
"Of course. I have many half-sisters from... common backgrounds." Koenji spoke the honest truth.
"..."
'No wonder my Sis-con Radar didn't go off.'
The "sisters" this guy talked about were strictly biological in the most technical sense.
"Forget it. I have no interest in dealing with rich young ladies." Hikigaya looked disgusted.
"Is that so? Weren't you chatting quite intensely with the one from the Sakayanagi family? I thought you might beco a live-in son-in-law for the Sakayanagi family in the future."
Koenji looked serious.
'Damn it! Don't just go blurting out other people's nightmares! What if that dream cos true? That white-haired brat is useless! Although there's Kamuro the maid as a substitute, it's still way too weird!'
In summary: "Your social circle is a ss, stay away from ."
Just then, Hirata Yousuke approached the tent. " Hikigaya, Koenji, so you're both here. Dinner is ready; co out and eat with everyone."
The two walked out of the tent.
"Eh? Koenji-kun, what happened to your face?" Hirata noticed the injuries.
"Minor flaws do not diminish my charm." Koenji didn't deign to explain.
" Koenji went to scout the movents of the other classes today and accidentally took a fall." Hikigaya fabricated the story with a straight face.
"Really? Koenji, I didn't expect you to make such a sacrifice for the class collective. I'm so moved!" Hirata looked at him with admiration.
Hearing this, the mbers of Class D also cast friendly looks.
"That Koenji, usually he has zero interest in the class. I didn't think he was doing so much for us behind the scenes."
"Maybe he's the 'cold on the outside, warm on the inside' type?"
"By the way, Koenji has a great body!"
A few girls beca intensely interested in Koenji. One girl from the swimming club, Onodera Kayano, even boldly reached out to pinch his abs.
Koenji Rokusuke's face went dark.
'Doing things for the class? Since when did I do that! Also, where did this tanned tomboy co from? If you aren't "beautiful" enough, don't co near the beautiful !'
"I'm just helping you top up your social relationships. Isn't this great?" Hikigaya flashed a schadenfreude smile.

While everyone's attention was focused on Koenji, Horikita Suzune sought him out.
" Hikigaya, co with for a mont."
"What's wrong?"
"Where did the dicine co from?" Horikita's face was grim.
"From the dical kit I exchanged. Oh, and there's so cold dicine left." Hikigaya pulled a few pills in a transparent plastic bag from his pocket.
"You... you took it upon yourself to exchange points again?" Horikita bit her lip. "Who asked you to do such an unnecessary thing for !"
"Who said it was for you? Can't I have done it for Koenji?" Hikigaya argued righteously.
"Those trivial superficial wounds? You could just put so spit on them and they'd be fine!" "Aren't you being too harsh on Koenji?"
"Don't try to change the subject! Sigh, do you have any idea how people in the class will look at you if they find out you used points without permission again?" Horikita looked like she had a massive headache.
"I don't care about that. Anyway, I've already exchanged for the dicine. It's impossible to return it. Whether you take it or not is your business."
Hikigaya forced the dicine into her hand and then walked away without looking back.
Horikita Suzune stood there, dazed, looking at Hikigaya's departing back while clutching the dicine tightly. After a long while, she let out a long sigh.
"He really is a troubleso man."
