Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

I really think I was just a salted fish?

That's fine.

Walking out of the dormitory and approaching the teaching building, Hikigaya suddenly discovered a notice on the school bulletin board, which was recruiting students who might have information related to Sudo and Class C. If anyone could provide valuable information, they could be paid points.

"This is--"

Hikigaya originally thought that someone from Class D had done this, and instinctively guessed the identity of the instigator.

Hirata Yosuke, Kushida Kikyo, Horikita Suzune, or... Ayanokouji Kiyotaka?

Just as Hikigaya was thinking and admiring him...

"Good morning! Hikigaya-san!"

Wearing a school uniform and with pink hair draped behind her, Ichinose Honami appeared behind Hikigaya, greeted him with a smile, and put her arm around Hikigaya's shoulders.

"Good morning……"

Hikigaya was not used to Ichinose's style, and was even less used to the other party's behavior of not caring about his status and sticking directly to him.

Oh no, I can already feel something soft on my back...

While Hikigaya was trying his best to distract himself and not be affected by Miss Ichinose's big breasts, the girl behind her noticed the paper Hikigaya was reading.

"Is this... a notice?"

"Yeah, I don't know which kind-hearted person did this."

"I know who probably did this."

"Ok?"

Hikigaya couldn't understand what Ichinose said, mainly because he couldn't imagine why Ichinose knew about things related to Class D.

Is there a spy from Class B in Class D?

Before Hikigaya could think about it, Ichinose suddenly raised his hand and said loudly to a boy walking by not far away: "Good morning, Kanzaki-san. This notice was posted by you, Kanzaki-san, right?"

After hearing what Ichinose said, a tall, serious boy wearing glasses came over from a distance and said, "I prepared this and posted it on Friday. What's wrong?"

"No, but Hikigaya-san seems to know who did it." Ichinose said with a bright smile, "Ah, let me introduce him. He is Kanzaki-san from Class B, and this one over here is Hikigaya-san from Class D."

"I'm Kanzaki Ryuji, please give me your guidance."

As the two people from Class B pushed on, Hikigaya didn't have time to react before he found himself at the point where he had to introduce himself.

He first stared blankly at Ichinose and Kanzaki in front of him, and after a while he came to his senses and said, "I am Hikigaya Hachiman."

"Hikigaya-san, I have long heard of your name in Class B. Now that we meet, it is indeed extraordinary."

“Oh, oh…ah?”

Hikigaya never expected that Kanzaki Ryuji could say such nonsensical words without blushing or getting nervous.

Who is famous? Who is extraordinary?

Are you talking about me?

What kind of person did Ichinose make me out to be in Class B?

Hikigaya felt helpless from the bottom of his heart. He probably could understand Ichinose Honami's character, and he would definitely promote himself in Class B without any concealment.

But Hikigaya has a very clear understanding of himself, and he doesn't think that he is worthy of other people's attention.

That kind of thing that would attract attention has nothing to do with me!

Chapter 183: If you look down on Hikigaya again, Class B will terminate its cooperation with Class D!

Hikigaya was very unhappy with Ichinose promoting himself in Class B.

After all, he himself had no intention of attracting too much attention from others.

Of course, he would not express his complaints outwardly. He could only look at Ichinose Honami who had a look on her face that said 'I did a good job, come and praise me' and sighed helplessly.

"By the way, Kanzaki-san, why are you posting things here?" Hikigaya looked at Kanzaki Ryuji with curiosity, "This is Class D's business, it has nothing to do with Class B."

"Hikigaya-san, don't you know yet?"

Kanzaki Ryuji heard what Hikigaya said and spoke with a little confusion, "A few days ago, the leader of Class D, Hirata Yosuke, came to Class B and hoped that Class B could lend a hand to Class D. After listening to Hirata's reasons, Class Leader Ichinose agreed to the request, so now Class B has joined forces with Class D."

"So that's it..."

Hikigaya hadn't expected that Class D and Class B had actually joined forces.

This is undoubtedly a wise approach.

After all, neither Class D nor Class B can fight against the unscrupulous Class C by their own abilities. If they unite, they may still have a chance of survival.

At the same time, Ichinose Honami looked at Hikigaya with a bit of confusion, "Hikigaya, don't you know about the class alliance? I thought it was your idea, Hikigaya-san, so I agreed without hesitation."

After saying that, she looked at Hikigaya with great interest, her face looking as if she was asking for credit, with a look of "praise me, praise me" written all over her face.

Hikigaya said helplessly: "I don't have a good relationship with most of the people in Class D. Some strategic matters of Class D are decided by themselves, which has nothing to do with me. In other words, even if they have any ideas, no one will tell me specifically..."

Hikigaya's words were actually a bit self-deprecating.

Although the current leader of Class D, Yosuke Hirata, and many members of Class D look down on Hikigaya and remain indifferent and contemptuous of him, apart from them, Karuizawa Megumi, Kushida Kikyo, and Horikita Suzune all have a deep relationship with him.

These three people alone can be said to be able to influence more than 90% of Class D's decisions.

Not to mention that D class's homeroom teacher, Chabashira Sae, has a secret relationship with Hikigaya.

However, Ichinose Honami on the opposite side was obviously unaware of these things. The girl was stunned for a moment after hearing his words, and then obvious dissatisfaction appeared on her face.

"How could this happen? I didn't expect that the people in Class D would think so little of you, Hikigaya-san. This is really terrible!!"

"Uh, no...what's wrong with this?"

Hikigaya didn't think that being looked down upon by the people in Class D was anything to worry about. In other words, it was actually a good thing for him.

If he was targeted by people in the class, it would be difficult for him to accept.

Unfortunately, Ichinose did not understand Hikigaya's thoughts at all. Instead, he looked at him with sympathy and said apologetically:

"Hikigaya-san, I'm sorry. I didn't expect this to happen. Those people in Class D are so short-sighted. I really regret establishing a cooperative relationship with them!"

"This……"

Ichinose's reaction was too exaggerated.

Hikigaya didn't know how to react.

What he didn't expect was that Ichinose said directly: "I will go to Hirata Yosuke now and let him see your value, Hikigaya-san. Otherwise, our Class B will immediately terminate the cooperation with Class D!!"

"and many more!!"

Ichinose's actions frightened Hikigaya.

He simply couldn't imagine how much of an impact it would have on his peaceful life in class if the other party really did such a thing.

I was afraid that my comfortable and peaceful daily life would be disrupted soon!

Therefore, he quickly stopped Ichinose and grabbed her hand to prevent the girl from making any overly impulsive moves.

"Let me go, Hikigaya-san, I can't leave this alone!"

Ichinose's attitude was firm, and his eyes were full of firm judgment.

Hikigaya helplessly looked at Kanzaki Ryuji behind him, hoping that Ichinose Honami's deputy could stop his squad leader's impulse.

However, noticing Hikigaya's gaze, Kanzaki Ryuji simply pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "All actions of Class B are based on the will of Captain Ichinose. I have no power to change it. Moreover, from my observation, Captain Ichinose's actions have not been wrong. It would be a troubling thing if the people of Class D kept looking down on your ability, Hikigaya-san. After all, it means that they are also looking down on Captain Ichinose who was defeated head-on by you, Hikigaya-san."

"Defeated head-on?"

"It was during the student council selection... Many people from Class A and Class B thought that Katsuragi from Class A would be selected, but in the end, the winner turned out to be you, Hikigaya-san. This made many people pay special attention to you, including me, of course."

"This……"

I didn't expect that the student union selection would have such a far-reaching impact. Many students in Class A and Class B seemed to have started paying attention to me because of it.

Hikigaya looked helpless, and then looked at Ichinose Honami in front of him, "Ichinose-san, I don't want you to do this."

Unfortunately, Hikigaya didn't think he had a chance of convincing Ichinose, so he could only choose the simplest and most brutal way, which was to give the other party an order.

Although Hikigaya generally didn't like to use favors to coerce others, Ichinose's situation did not allow him to hesitate.

"why?"

Ichinose stared at the man in front of her with her big, watery eyes. She obviously couldn't understand why Hikigaya would willingly let himself be looked down upon by the people in Class D.

This seemed really strange to her.

"Why... Because I want to?"

Hikigaya knew that many people would not understand his thoughts, but he could not find any excuses at the moment, so he could only speak honestly: "I don't like to attract attention. It's a good thing for me that other people in Class D look down on me. It can save me a lot of trouble."

"This……"

Ichinose obviously found it difficult to understand the reason given by Hikigaya.

After all, how could most people want to be looked down upon by others and be hostile to by the class group?

However, Ichinose saw the sincerity in Hikigaya's attitude and knew that he was not lying.

Therefore, even though she was very confused and found it hard to accept, she finally stopped her impulsive thoughts and calmed herself down.

"I understand what you mean, Hikigaya-san, but even if I understand your idea, I still cannot accept the actions of those people in Class D." Ichinose Honami took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "I originally planned to have Class B and Class D have some deeper cooperation because of you, but now it seems that I need to re-evaluate the relationship between Class B and Class D."

"..."

Hikigaya knew that Ichinose had clearly made the biggest concession. Although he still hoped that the other party would not be so extreme and would not affect the relationship with Class D because of him, it was obviously impossible to convince the other party anymore.

He nodded silently to that.

After coming to his senses, Ichinose suddenly spoke up, "By the way, Hikigaya-san, I posted a message on the bulletin board of the school's official website, calling on everyone to provide information. We wrote on it that if anyone witnessed a violent incident on campus, we would like to hear the details."

After saying this, Ichinose showed the screen of his mobile phone.

It does say there is a message asking for witnesses to leave a message, and even the number of views can be seen.

Although the number of people seems to be only a few dozen, it is still much more efficient than just asking around.

It also says on it - we will pay points as a reward to those who provide powerful intelligence or witnesses.

"Speaking of points as compensation, is this paid by your class B?"

"Yes, Hikigaya, you don't have to worry about it, because this is our own decision." Ichinose said slowly, "Although I now have a different opinion about Class D, since it is a cooperation that I have agreed to, I will be responsible to the end. What's more, Class C is also our Class B's enemy. Even if it is based on pure interests, we must help them."

Kanzaki Ryuji on the side also pushed up his glasses and nodded slowly:

"Ichinose is right. If the competition is conducted according to the rules, then that's fine with me. However, this incident went beyond the rules and is unforgivable."

I didn't expect that the people in Class B all have the same personality as Ichinose, that of a righteous partner.

Is this what they call birds of a feather flock together?

Hikigaya thought to himself and asked, "What news do you have so far?"

"I only received a few useful ones. For example, one of the students who was beaten in Class C was called Ishizaki Daichi. He seemed to be a bad student in junior high school. He seemed to have some bad behavior when he first came to this school, but then he suddenly became well behaved."

"You suddenly became good?"

The leader of Class C can’t be a monster, right?

I remember his name was Ryuen Sho?

"Anyway, I need to transfer the points to the person who provided the information. I'm not very good at this kind of thing, how about you help me, Hikigaya-san?"

"what?"

Hikigaya didn't expect Ichinose Honami to suddenly make such a request. He was stunned for a moment and took the phone from her blankly.

"It seems that this function can be used to transfer money anonymously..."

"Oh, I see. As expected of you, Hikigaya-san."

As Ichinose spoke, she leaned almost completely on Hikigaya. He could even smell the body fragrance from the girl.

To do this, Hikigaya suppressed his accelerating heartbeat and operated Ichinose's phone.

"Ok?"

While transferring the money, he accidentally saw the personal interface of Ichinose's mobile phone. Although it was just a flash, he saw a string of nearly seven digits.
