Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

At that time, after hearing Ayanokouji's unintentional words, she came up with this method on a whim and felt complacent about it.

She felt that if she waited until things were over and everything had a perfect result, she could take the initiative to show off to Hikigaya and might even receive praise and compliments from him.

Because of this, she secretly led the girls to use the points without telling Hikigaya anything, temporarily suppressing the resentment of the girls' group, and also laying the groundwork for the boys' subsequent complete break.

The moment the boys rushed to the girls' camp angrily and discovered the truth, Karuizawa was already regretting the stupid thing he had done.

She realized that she had almost caused a disaster out of simple vanity.

In the end, when Hikigaya solved the problem by self-destructing, Karuizawa's guilt and helplessness reached its peak, and he didn't even have the courage to face Hikigaya.

At this moment, Karuizawa lowered his head with a gloomy expression, not daring to look at Hikigaya.

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry…”

"..."

Seeing Karuizawa's look, Hikigaya didn't know what to say.

He himself actually didn't care about Karuizawa's approach. In a sense, Karuizawa's poor handling of the situation helped further realize his plan.

After all, Hikigaya's plan requires that the boys and girls be put in complete opposition.

And what Karuizawa is doing is just exacerbating this conflict.

However, Hikigaya would not say this out loud...

In the end, he could only speak silently:

"It's okay, I don't care."

"This……"

A complicated expression appeared on Karuizawa's face, showing that he could not accept such a result.

For her, it would be more acceptable if Hikigaya scolded her and punished her severely.

From Karuizawa's perspective, Hikigaya's completely indifferent attitude seemed more like a kind of disregard and indifference towards her.

It was like he was completely disappointed in her.

Karuizawa felt extremely panicked.

"You really don't care?"

Hikigaya's answer to Karuizawa's pointed words did not change.

"Well, you've done enough."

"Is this so..."

Hikigaya's words caused Karuizawa to fall into jealous disappointment.

The girl froze in place, tears clearly streaming from her eyes.

Hikigaya didn't understand why the other person was crying, but he didn't know how to ask, so he could only watch Karuizawa Megumi leave crying.

Well, that's enough.

Although there may be some misunderstandings in the process, the result is what Hikigaya wants to see most.

That was his favorite answer.

So, this is enough.

Hikigaya slowed down his pace slightly and looked at this place that seemed to have just experienced destruction but was now recovering its vitality, with a calm and indifferent expression.

Just then, Horikita Suzune walked up to him.

"As you said, everything is going in a good direction." The black-haired girl looked coldly, "Did you do that because you were concerned about my illness?"

"You think too much. I'm not that kind."

"Really? I really don't think you would do that for me, so you're still the good guy as always."

"..."

Does Horikita still have that strange misunderstanding about himself?

Hikigaya sighed and accepted it helplessly, "I really didn't do anything. If you hadn't stepped in at the time, everything wouldn't have gone so smoothly, so it can't be said to be my credit."

"Do you really think so?"

Horikita spoke suspiciously, pursing her lips unhappily.

"Yeah, I never thought you would stand up and judge Hirata in public. What you did was great. How should I put it? I admire you very much..."

Horikita coming forward to judge Hirata was not part of Hikigaya's plan.

However, the opponent's actions filled in the gaps left by Hikigaya's actions very well, allowing the D class group that was torn apart by him to regain unity.

Not to mention that Horikita finally pulled out Kushida as the glue of Class D to help the class return to its original state.

Therefore, Hikigaya's words were sincere in a sense. He really felt that Horikita had grown a lot, at least she had done something that surprised him.

"you……"

Hearing what Hikigaya said, Horikita Suzune couldn't help but turn her face away.

You can vaguely see that the other person's ears are a little red.

"Thank you for your praise, but I know that my abilities are far from perfect. If I want to manage this class better, I need to work harder."

"You are..." Hikigaya originally wanted to say 'You are shy', but he was afraid that Horikita Suzune would kill him right away the next moment he finished speaking, so he could only say: "You are a little too modest."

“I’m just self-aware.”

Horikita Suzune spoke silently, and as if to hide her thoughts, she quickly left the scene.

Looking at Horikita like this, Hikigaya felt that he didn't have to worry about anything anymore.

As long as Class D continues to develop normally, the situation where Horikita Suzune has to drag her seriously ill body and force herself to stand up and take action should no longer exist.

There are only two days left for the next exam. As long as no one messes up...

Thinking of this, Hikigaya inexplicably recalled the figure of Ayanokouji in his mind.

However, he felt that as a member of Class D, Ayanokouji would not do anything out of line. It was impossible for the other party to take the initiative to attack classmates, right?

Thinking of this, he silently prepared to leave, but he didn't expect that Teacher Chabashi Saeda suddenly appeared beside him.

"You guys seem to be going through a lot these days."

Facing Chabashira's words that seemed to be testing him, Hikigaya said nonchalantly, "Yeah, these guys split up all of a sudden, and then united all of a sudden, it really exhausts me."

"Hikigaya..."

Chabashi Sae stared at his face silently, then spoke helplessly: "How should I put it? I knew from the beginning that you would use this method. As a result, you did solve the problem of this class. The division between boys and girls stopped because of you, and Hirata Yosuke and Shinohara Satsuki were also saved from being excluded by the class because of your actions."

"How do you know? Are you secretly monitoring us?"

Hikigaya pretended to be shocked and spoke, and was unsurprisingly given a cold shoulder by Chabashira-sensei.

The D class teacher finally spoke silently: "But I still want to criticize the method you used. You can obviously do better, but you chose to use the worst method..."

"That's the only means I can use."

"Methods... huh? Hikigaya, why can't you admit that you have greater potential and the ability to change everything?" Chabashira Sae stared at him firmly. "Even if a lion pretends to be a turtle, it can't hide its sharp eyes. With eyes like that, you can't keep pretending forever even if you want to hide yourself."

"Teacher, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't have the eyes of a lion. I just have a pair of dead fish eyes."

"Humph, if you think so, then I won't stop you..."

Chabashi Sae said this with the corners of his mouth raised, as if he was sneering, or as if he was mocking Hikigaya who was burying his head in the ground like an ostrich.

Chapter 303 Let me see what you are going to do Ayanokouji!

Chabashira Sae seems to have some different understanding of himself.

But Hikigaya knew that the other party's idea was wrong.

I am not the kind of monster that the other party imagines, with any special abilities. I am just a monster who cannot show my talents because of my personality.

That kind of person should be Ayanokouji.

In contrast, Hikigaya has a clear self-awareness of himself.

He knew very well that his abilities had limits, and he also knew that he was just a lone ranger who was good at seeing through people's hearts, nothing more.

Therefore, no matter what expectations Chabashi Sae had of him, he would not respond to those expectations, nor would he do things according to the other party's ideas.

"Teacher, you are wrong. I am not as exaggerated as you think..."

"That's it." Chabashira Sae looked at him silently, "However, as a teacher, I still want to give you some basic warnings... Helping others cannot be used as an excuse to hurt yourself. Getting used to pain itself is the source of pain."

"No, this level won't hurt me..."

"I'm not talking about yourself."

Chabashira Sae said as he patted his shoulder.

That attitude did not have any special purpose like before, it was so pure that Hikigaya was actually a little surprised, and felt that the other party really acted like a teacher.

However, this scene only lasted for a moment.

Chabashira Sae quickly returned to his cold and domineering attitude and said silently: "The lecture time is over. I'm leaving now."

"Um……"

Hikigaya responded vaguely, then walked towards the camp.

He was not shaken at all by Chabashira Sae's words.

After all, Hikigaya himself has long been accustomed to this kind of life, and he is also very clear about his own character. It is impossible for him to change his mind because of a word or two from others.

However, he was still surprised by Chabashi Sae's performance.

Because he always thought that the other party was a cold, cruel and excessive teacher who would do anything to get promoted in the class.

This is indeed the attitude that the other party has always shown.

However, the attitude that Chabashi Sae displayed at that moment seemed to be different from the impression in his mind. Rather than a bad teacher who valued strength above all else and would do anything to achieve his goals, he was more like his junior high school homeroom teacher, Hiratsuka Shizuka.

What is the true nature of Chabashira Sae?

Due to the lack of clues, Hikigaya cannot guess the truth about Chabashira Sae's character at the moment.

He was too lazy to get to know the D class teacher in depth, as it was meaningless.

……

After the roll call time, the class started its daily work.

Since Hikigaya is now in a state of being excluded, he can only take the initiative to find Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo to ask about his next job.

When he arrived at the scene, Horikita and Kushida were discussing plans for the new day.

"It looks like it's going to rain today."

"It's easier to get into danger on rainy days, so let's all move together."

Hearing the conversation between Horikita and Kushida, Hikigaya silently raised his head.

Only then did he realize that there was a heavy, grey sky overhead, the ground had become a little damp, and there was an atmosphere all around as if it was about to rain.

It looks like it will probably rain after noon, and no one can tell whether it will be light rain or heavy rain. Looking at the sky, there may even be unimaginably strong winds.

So, is it possible that we are going to take group action next?

Don't torture me like this, okay?

Although Hikigaya never cared about other people's eyes, if he was forced to take part in a group action, he still found it difficult to accept the feeling of being forcibly isolated.

It's like Hikigaya never goes to lively places like karaoke or arcades. Even though he doesn't mind other people looking at him weirdly, such occasions themselves are not suitable for him.

So, after much thought, Hikigaya decided that it would be better for him to apply for some individual jobs, such as rechecking the driven camp nails, sorting the luggage near the camp, and ensuring the food purchased with points.

As long as it's not a job that requires leaving the camp, there's nothing to worry about even if he's left alone in a corner.

"Then what..."

Hikigaya then slowly walked over and tried to ask for some easy work.

Unexpectedly, when Horikita saw him coming, she immediately said with a stern face: "Hikigaya, you're just in time, come with me to collect food."
