Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"I see. No wonder Xiaoyuan and the others always say that we are perverted. It turns out that they are just trying to cover up their own filthy hearts! It turns out that they are the real perverts!"

Yamauchi and the boys' singing of the same tune almost made Shinohara Satsuki become autistic.

Her eyes were wide open, her eye sockets were red, and she looked like she was about to cry.

"Everyone, stop talking!"

Hirata Yosuke finally stood up.

In fact, he had wanted to speak out long before the things in Shinohara and others' bags were discovered, but he was too shocked to find the opportunity to speak.

Seeing Shinohara's desperate look, he realized that he had to stand up, so he immediately said, "No matter how you look at it, someone is behind this. The same thing happened when Karuizawa's underwear was stolen. Someone must have deliberately wanted to mess up our class and framed us!"

"Is this really going to happen?"

"Why else is it such a coincidence that both times things were lost happened in our class?!"

Yosuke Hirata found a good idea to solve the problem.

He linked the two events together, causing everyone to shift their focus from the hostility between each other to a hidden mastermind.

It is equivalent to creating a 'common enemy' out of thin air.

If the other party continues to use this rhetoric to lead the situation, Class D might really be able to seize this opportunity and achieve a brief period of peaceful coexistence.

After all, as long as Shinohara's faction is completely overthrown because of this incident and the girls don't make trouble, Class D will basically not encounter any major troubles in the future.

"So that's how it is. That's right, someone is interfering with all this!"

Shinohara Satsuki saw a chance to resolve the situation, so she started to follow suit.

She even forgot that the last time her underwear was stolen in Karuizawa, she had mercilessly thrown the blame directly onto the boys.

Right now, I just want to do everything I can to get myself out of the target of public criticism.

"Ah……"

Hikigaya mercilessly mocked Shinohara's choice to escape reality.

Now that things have come to this point, is it possible for me to let you escape so easily?

That's wishful thinking!

If you don't have to take any responsibility for doing something wrong, what is the point of the police?

Although Hikigaya is not a policeman, as a lone ranger who upholds justice, he must stand up and guide the situation at this time.

Haha, don’t blame me, Shinohara.

Most of the tragedies in this world are self-inflicted.

"What are you laughing at! Do you find anything weird?"

Hikigaya's undisguised ridicule caused a stir in the camp.

Shinohara Satsuki naturally turned her spearhead towards him instinctively.

"No, it's nothing..."

Hikigaya chose the worst way to speak. He had previously studied how to speak in a way that would make people angry, and for this he even drove away people around him who could have been his friends.

He was sure that Xiaoyuan must be so angry that he wanted to slap himself in the face, but he couldn't do it because of his face.

In this case, let me add fuel to the fire.

"That's great, Shinohara. This way, you will immediately change from an offender to a victim. Maybe if you cry a little and shed a few tears, you can get comfort from Hirata-san."

Hikigaya's words were sharp and cold.

The moment his words fell, the whole world seemed to stop.

Chapter 294: Hirata Yosuke, I am so disappointed in you!

After Hikigaya's words rang out.

No one at the scene responded.

Hirata, Karuizawa, Kushida, and Shinohara Satsuki were all stunned, as if they had literally expressed the meaning of the word 'speechless' with their actions.

Even Horikita Suzune was shocked by Hikigaya's behavior and her expression became dull.

After all, most of the people in Class D had not expected Hikigaya to suddenly say something like this, and they had no idea how to respond to the situation.

If Koenji were here, he would definitely burst out laughing at Hikigaya's remarks, and then shout, "Hikigaya boy, you are such a genius, so amazing, hahahaha..."

All I can say is that it’s great that Koenji could leave this exam early and return to the cruise ship.

While Hikigaya was imagining what would happen if Koenji was here, Horikita Suzune next door suddenly stared at him with a stern face.

Wow, that's scary. Can you please stop looking at me in such a scary way?

Unable to bear Horikita's gaze, Hikigaya instinctively turned his head away.

Just when the atmosphere on the scene was about to become extremely cold.

Hirata Yosuke stepped forward.

He spoke slowly with an unprecedented indifference: "Hikigaya-san, why do you say such things? Shinohara-san is not the person you think."

"This……"

Hikigaya was about to respond when he noticed that Horikita Suzune suddenly glared at him. He was so scared that he quickly coughed lightly and swallowed back the extremely aggressive words that were originally going to be spoken.

He spoke a little softer, "Yeah, I didn't think of her as that kind of person, but I just raised the possibility."

"Possibility?" Horikita Suzune frowned, and with an unbearable expression, she asked him to explain, "Hikigaya, explain it to me in detail..."

Hikigaya raised his lips to a faint smile and spoke slowly:

"Think about it, everyone. This incident was caused by Karuizawa's underwear being stolen. Most of the people in Class D were implicated in this incident, especially the boys, who were directly slandered as the real culprit who stole the underwear. We have endured unreasonable slander for so many days, and at this time, a murderer suddenly appeared from outside the class? Aren't things changing a little too quickly?"

"This... the boys did suffer a little, but as long as they can reconcile properly next time..."

"Let's reconcile?" Hikigaya's face showed even more sarcasm in response to Hirata Yosuke's gentle words. "Do you think the sacrifices you've made can be forgiven by reconciliation?"

"what do you want to say in the end……"

Unconsciously, Hirata Yosuke's expression gradually became stern, even cold.

Hikigaya pretended not to notice and said calmly, "What I want to say is the sacrifices that boys have to make. For example, I have made a lot of sacrifices myself. I was forced to work like an idiot, and it was work that was stuffed into my head by others. Whose blessing is this from? If all this came from the murderer outside that class, it would be fine, but who is the real person who oppressed me? If I don't understand this, I can't accept it."

After Hikigaya finished speaking, everyone looked at Shinohara Satsuki at the same time.

At this moment, Shinohara was trembling all over and lowered his head with a gloomy expression.

As a result, many students began to whisper to each other, and waves of commotion were heard at the scene.

The sound reached near him, then bounced back like an echo - and finally disappeared in the center.

The person standing in the center of the crowd at this moment is undoubtedly the current leader of Class D, a great man who has always advocated class friendship, unity and cooperation, Hirata Yosuke.

Everyone's eyes were on Hirata, waiting to see how the leader of Class D would react to such a voice.

After all, although Hikigaya's words were sharp and vicious, they were mixed with the most simple and unadorned truth -

That is, people who do wrong need to be punished.

The attitude that Hirata Yosuke has always advocated is that the entire class is harmonious and everyone is a good person, so as long as everyone is treated gently, the unity of the class can be maintained.

This kind of gentle attitude towards everyone may indeed have a certain effect if most people in Class B are gentle and kind.

But in Class D, where most people are selfish and have never thought about devoting themselves wholeheartedly to the class, Hirata's approach will definitely hit a wall.

Wrong is wrong and right is right.

If a leader cannot distinguish right from wrong and cannot abide by the most basic principles, he is doomed to fail to gain the trust of everyone.

Yosuke Hirata seemed to be aware of this as well. His shoulders kept shaking and his eyes kept shifting and wandering around the scene.

After a while, he sighed and shook his head.

"Although boys have been treated unfairly, aren't girls also being excluded now? I think we are all the same. We are all good people and we can understand each other, right?"

"..."

Hikigaya looked straight into Hirata Yosuke's eyes.

The other party's reaction made him extremely disappointed.

In the end, Yosuke Hirata was unable to break out of his own limitations and made the worst choice for this class.

Right and wrong, sometimes there is no need to have a right or wrong.

Human beings are creatures that care more about an attitude than an answer.

If Hirata had just followed Hikigaya's words and was willing to give Shinohara Satsuki and the girls a reasonable punishment, this matter would most likely have ended there.

The boys will regain their faith in Hirata as a leader, and although the girls will be dissatisfied, most of their dissatisfaction will be directed at Hikigaya.

As long as Hikigaya is ostracized as a bad person, the class will be able to regain unity and harmony.

However, Hirata Yosuke did not do so.

Putting aside the reasons why the other party did not do so, Hirata Yosuke's indecisive behavior directly led to a very bad result, which is the collapse of social rules.

Whenever humans come together, they form a society.

The source of social formation is rules.

Whether it is public rules or private unspoken rules, only when people establish rules and everyone is willing to maintain the same rules, can society be stable and strong and will not be easily destroyed by external forces.

This is also why the more closed and backward a mountain village is, the more unspoken rules and rigid regulations there are in the village.

Because the risks in those places are very high and various emergencies can occur at any time, managers must establish rules that are recognized by the public to protect everyone.

The situation of Class D on the uninhabited island was similar.

On an uninhabited island completely isolated from modern society, if the class wants to maintain stability and ensure unity, it must ensure the establishment of rules.

At the same time, rules should not only have advantages, but also have negative side effects.

That is punishment.

Once those who abide by the rules are benefited and those who break the rules are punished, most people will voluntarily abide by the rules and maintain unity.

On the contrary, once those who abide by the rules do not benefit and those who break the rules are not punished, the collapse of the rules will follow.

In the eyes of everyone, Hirata Yosuke's actions were equivalent to him, as a leader, denying the establishment of rules.

As a result, more and more people in the class will not abide by any rules and do whatever they want until the day of collapse comes.

"Ugh."

Hikigaya sighed helplessly.

He had not actually intended to go this far; he did not really want to use the following method to truly create a catastrophic collapse.

Because if that happens, Hirata Yosuke as an individual might really fall into complete collapse.

No one knows what the consequences of doing so will be.

But Hirata really disappointed him, forcing Hikigaya to use this final resort.

When Hikigaya was hesitant, Hirata Yosuke thought he was finally going to give up, and said with a smile: "Hikigaya-san, I know you are considering this class, but now you still have to believe in the students present, okay? You will definitely not let us down!"

"Yeah, I think these guys will not let us down."

Although it is the same sentence, the meaning of Hikigaya's words is completely different from Hirata's, or even completely opposite.

He felt that given the level of these guys in Class D, if they were not restrained in the next few days, they would definitely go crazy to an unimaginable level.

Real opposition or even confrontation between men and women is likely to occur.

So, he made up his mind and said slowly: "Since you have decided this, Hirata, I won't say anything. But I suddenly realized that I still have something I lost, and I want to see if it is hidden somewhere by the girls."

"This...but."

"I've already made such a concession, but why can't you, Hirata?" Hikigaya glanced at the boys in a pretentious manner, "You keep saying that we are all good people and believe in class unity. But we boys have clearly chosen to sacrifice for unity, so can't the girls sacrifice a little for us?"

"This……"

Hikigaya's words were too sharp.
