Oreki Houtarou's Strength-First Classroom

20 million is a drop in the bucket.

…

Oreki and Archangel Ichinose are not outsiders, it is better to say that they may still be a family in the future.

Therefore, if Ichinose makes a request, he will usually not refuse.

The time agreed upon was 7 o'clock, and the place was Oreki-san's room.

Today, Oreki got his cat back from Sakayanagi Arisu.

So while waiting for Ichinose, he was playing with the cat. It must be said that Sakayanagi Yusu has the ability to raise people to death. The Oreki family cat has become white and fat, and it should be said that it is majestic. .

Ordinary cats look light and cute, but Oreki-san’s cats are bulky and cute.

After playing with the cat for a while, Archangel Ichinose rang the doorbell.

Ichinose-san probably felt that he had something to ask for, so he made preparations.

The reason why he said this was that Oreki noticed that she had changed into his own casual clothes, a blue plaid skirt, but her shoulders were exposed, and her skin was white and translucent.

At the same time, her legs are long and slender. Well, I always feel that Ichinose has been dressed up and smells good.

It's just that Oreki-san feels that their relationship doesn't need to be so artificial. Of course, it's also possible that Ichinose, an honest person, still remembers the mission Nagumo-senpai asked her to pursue, which is to pursue him.

The purpose was probably to destroy the relationship between him and Sakayanagi Arisu, but Oreki felt that Nagumo-senpai was probably thinking too much, because the relationship between him and Sakayanagi-san didn't need to be destroyed at all. According to the prediction The way the dream goes, he and Sakayanagi will break up this year.

Then she proposed to Suzune Horikita when she graduated, so the relationship was separated without breaking it.

Of course, this is only on the surface. In the future, everyone will be together.

And this future Oreki-san didn't hate it. Although he was a little surprised, he thought it was good. Especially, Suzu, Nene, Alice, and Nao couldn't give up.

Then there would be no responsibility.

"Would you like some coffee?" Oreki-san said after inviting Ichinose in.

"Ah, there is no need to treat me like this. Did Oreki-san say that cats can grow so fat?" It turned out that the first thing Ichinose paid attention to was Oreki-san's cat, which was fed fat by Sakayanagi-san.

It’s not just boys. Girls actually don’t have much resistance to cats either.

"Don't look at it like this. Its previous name was Gale, but I think it's now called Bulky."

So saying, Oreki-san threw a small paper ball out.

But Hayate quickly caught up.

Then he took the small paper ball back.

Not just cats, not just fat, his cats also have the potential to become puppies.

"Eh? But I think it's cute even if it's a little chubby." Ichinose said.

"If you like it, I can lend it to you temporarily," Oreki-san said.

Sakayanagi-san has been in a bad mood for the past two days, so Oreki brought the cat back.

And if Ichinose wanted it, he could just lend it to her.

"Hey, is that okay? Thank you. I actually like cats too."

"It's furry, and it's easy to touch, eh! Oreki-san, it needs to be touched!" Ichinose-san touched Hayate's head with his hand, and the cat put its head against it.

This is a sign of being used to being touched.

But looking at Ichinose's expression, Oreki-san started to think.

Girls all seem to like fat people, just like the little quilt wants to make him fat. Oreki-san has already experienced this.

in this way.

Although Ichinose-san said no, Oreki-san still served her coffee.

Then the two of them sat at the table, with Oreki sitting on the chair and Ichinose sitting on the bed.

After all, there were no extra chairs in his room. The dormitory was for single occupancy, so there was only one chair. As a courtesy to his guests, Oreki chose to sit on the chair himself, and then let the guests sit more comfortably on the bed.

However, Ichinose seemed a little embarrassed to be so considerate. She was asking for help today, but Oreki-san's behavior made her feel as if she was here to do other things.

So Ichinose quickly said, "Um... Oreki-san, actually I hope to borrow points from you this time."

"The head teacher of our class also informed us of the exam rules. The exam rules seem very simple, but they always make people feel uneasy."

In other words, did you come to him for help because you felt uneasy?

But the feeling of being relied on is not too bad.

Then Oreki-san said.

"In this special exam, our class asked the class teacher about the example questions that appeared on the example questions. For example, the whole class was asked to make a choice, and then the results had to be unanimous. Then if 5 points of class evaluation points were deducted, 10,000 private points could be obtained. , if everyone chooses yes, will the class evaluation scores also be deducted? The answer given by the class teacher is actually yes, so this time the special test looks simple, I think there may be some trouble .”

"For example, once a topic comes up and the whole class has to choose one person to drop out, how should this situation be handled?" Oreki said.

This was Hasebe-san's idea, but judging from the teachers' performance, Oreki felt that such an unreasonable move was very possible.

Just saying that, Ichinose's expression changed as expected.

In other words, she had also considered the worst possibility.

"Ah, sure enough, I think the same way, and I always feel uneasy."

"And now."

"In this special examination, once students are designated to drop out of school, our class will definitely not be able to do it."

This has been proven in last year's in-class exit voting test. Ichinose's class is the only one among the four classes where no one has dropped out.

They collected 20 million points in the class and chose to protect their classmates.

This perseverance and unity are enviable but also a burden for them. Therefore, if there is another forced dropout, then their class can only choose to use the 20 million points again, so Oreki-san looked at Ichinose.

"So did you come here specifically to borrow money from me? Ichinose." Oreki said.

"Goo!"

Ichinose's expression turned embarrassed.

"that……"

"terribly sorry!"

Ichinose lowered his head.

"So what you're wearing now is..." Oreki-san said.

"That..." Archangel Ichinose was even more embarrassed. "I feel like...Oreki-san might borrow it if that's the case."

oh.

Is it.

It's using beauty attacks.

indeed.

Oreki-san didn’t just ask Ichinose-san for help because he was a womanizer.

Just helping is helping.

You are really willing to do this.

"But Ichinose-san," Oreki-san said. "I am now Sakayanagi Arisu's boyfriend."

"Sorry, sorry." Ichinose apologized quickly. "I didn't want to get in among you, and I didn't want to feel sorry for Sakayanagi."

"If it's because of Nagumo-senpai, then I think it's okay not to obey his orders," Oreki said.

"Uh..." Ichinose was stuck.

because.

Nagumo-senpai indeed entrusted me with this.

only.

Ichinose also knew it very well.

She tried to contact Oreki-san, but the other party didn't respond to her.

Rather, she is a little pretentious.

so.

Ichinose became very embarrassed.

"As for the points," Oreki-san said. "I can lend it to you."

"but."

"It's not good to always borrow for free," Oreki said. "And it doesn't make sense if you keep giving."

Forehead.

Ichinose understood that Oreki-san was talking about the last class vote to drop out, when she spent 10 million points by herself.

Therefore, the students in the class spent only about 10 million.

And the money was compensation for the rumors spread by senior Nagyun before.

So, Oreki-san probably means that she has been giving.

She likes this class and hopes to protect everyone.

She wanted to say it was her choice.

Just when I think about it.

She found Oreki-san walking towards her.

Then he took her left hand.

?

Ichinose was puzzled.

"Give me a hug," Oreki-san said. "It's rare that you dressed up today, so why don't you give me a hug?"

Eh?

But this move and these words made Archangel Ichinose open his eyes in shock.

because.

So why?

Oreki-san, haven't you been rejecting her?

Do you want to hug her now?

…

in this way.

It's a mess in Class C, and Class B is borrowing money.

Although some students in Class D know that there may be a risk of dropping out of school during the exam.

But it's impossible to bear the price of 20 million points.

And they don’t think any student in the class is worth 20 million.

So the only thing that can be done is to try their best to ensure that they themselves will not be dropped out of school.

And for that.

[Class D mutual aid group]

Oreki: The exams will start tomorrow, although considering that the worst-case scenario might be to vote someone out of school again.

Oreki: And for the sake of self-protection, I suggest you all get together as a team tomorrow.

Oreki: In order to ensure the directness of the exam, the use of mobile phones will probably be prohibited. So you can agree in advance that the results will be released tomorrow, and then you will all choose the same answer.

Sato: It seems like this is the only way.

Sato: So why does this school always like the punishment of expulsion?

Karuizawa: Who knows.
