Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

After all, if Ryuuen were to withdraw as a leader, then everything that Class C had planned so far would be meaningless. Not only would they lose the qualification to take the exam, but they would also lose all points earned.

This is undoubtedly what Class C least wants to see.

However, what Ibuki did not expect was that after hearing what Hikigaya said, Ryuen Sho did not immediately express denial, nor did he refuse.

His expression was not so much surprise as confusion and an inability to understand the current situation. He stared at Hikigaya in a daze.

"Is this why you came to me?"

"What else?" Hikigaya stared at Ryuen Sho's face with a merciless laugh, "Now you finally realize how stupid you are, right? I didn't tell any lies from the beginning. Everything is just your own fault because of your overly suspicious personality."

"Dead fish eyes..."

Ryuen Sho clenched his teeth. He now fully understood Hikigaya's purpose.

But precisely because he realized it, he understood what a stupid thing he had done, so much so that Hikigaya's mocking expression made him extremely angry, and he tried his best to resist the urge to beat him up.

However, Ibuki Mio and Kamuro Masumi did not understand the conversation between Hikigaya and Ryuen Sho, so they had no idea what Ryuen's expression of eating shit meant.

"Hey, Hikigaya, why did you ask Ryuuen to leave?"

As a straightforward and curious baby, Kamuro Masumi couldn't help but ask actively.

Although she had an unusual respect for Hikigaya, she also knew that he was now a friendly force, so she did not become overly nervous like Ibuki and could not help but ask directly.

In response to Kamuro's overly dull reaction, Hikigaya said helplessly: "My goal is not to make Ryuen withdraw, but to make Class C and Class D change their leaders midway."

"Change of leadership?"

"Yes."

Facing the surprised Ibuki Mio and Kamuro Masumi, Hikigaya said calmly, "I am not the only one who has guessed that Ryuen Sho is still on the uninhabited island. Katsuragi from Class A and someone from Class D have probably noticed that Ryuen is still on the island. And considering Ryuen's personality, no one would believe that the suspicious Ryuen Sho would give up the key leadership position to someone else, so it only takes a simple guess to guess that Ryuen is still the leader of Class C."

"If things continue as normal, I'm afraid that Class C will be accused of being the leader by Class A and Class D at the same time, and will be directly deducted 100 points. In addition, the class whose leader is guessed will also lose all the accumulated base points. Even if Class C guesses the leaders of Class A and Class D, it will be useless and can only face the end of 0 points."

"..."

Hikigaya's words were calm and firm.

Even if there was no evidence to support his words, others instinctively felt that they made sense and were convinced without realizing it.

But because of this, Ibuki's expression gradually became the same as Ryuuen's.

She finally understood why Ryuen had such a confused and incredible attitude just now, and asked in shock: "Is this the reason you came to us? Why? Why do you want to help our C class?"

As she was thinking, Ibuki Mio suddenly thought of a reason and murmured in disbelief: "Hikigaya, are you doing this just for Shiina..."

"what!"

I didn't expect Ibuki to be so whimsical as to link this matter to Shiina. Hikigaya quickly denied it and said, "It has nothing to do with Shiina. I came to help you for other purposes."

"Other purpose?"

Ibuki Mio and Ryuen Sho both looked at him in confusion.

It was clear that neither of them could understand why Hikigaya would go all the way to help Class C.

At this point, Hikigaya knew that he could no longer hide anything, and silently said, "You know that I have established a cooperation with Sakayanagi Arisu, right?"

"Yeah, you just said that."

"The Sakayanagi faction's current goal is to attack the Katsuragi faction without Sakayanagi himself. The best scenario would be to completely defeat Class A led by Katsuragi Kōhei."

Hikigaya calmly explained his behavior, "Although the identity of the leader of Class A has been guessed by other classes, if Class A can still guess the leaders of other classes, as long as they can guess the leaders of Class C and Class D, they can still keep more than 200 points. Even if the leader of Class D guesses wrong, they can still keep 120 points just by guessing the leader of Class C. This is not a real setback, so we have to make sure they guess all wrong."

"hiss--"

As Hikigaya finished his words, the air at the scene suddenly fell into dead silence.

Whether it was Ryuuen, Ibuki, or Kamuro, the three of them looked at him blankly, with some complicated and terrifying expressions written on their faces.

"Dead fish eyes, you are simply a devil."

Ryuen Sho was the first to express his feelings. He had been tricked by Hikigaya and was in a very bad mood.

However, now that he realized what had happened to Kōhei Katsuragi, he realized how lucky he was to not have been a direct target of Hikigaya's attack.

As the saying goes, good and bad need to be compared.

When Ryuuen first learned that he was being tricked by Hikigaya, he must have been in a bad mood, but when he found out that Katsuragi next to him was being tricked even worse, he inexplicably felt that his situation seemed not so bad.

At least not the unluckiest one.

"Will it be alright if you just let me step aside and stop being a leader?" Ryuen Sho looked at Hikigaya with sharp eyes. "In that case, you won't tell anyone what happened here?"

"Do you think it will be that easy?"

Hikigaya smiled.

In his eyes, Ryuen's probing was just like a cowardly lapdog trying to find the bottom line of humans. "My original purpose was just to make you change your leadership and sell you the identity of the real leader of Class D. But who told you, the shit king, to use your mad dogs to beat me? If I don't make Class C pay back with interest, no one will be able to swallow this."

"Tsk, Dead Fish Eyes, what do you want!"

Long Yuanxiang lowered his head as if he had admitted defeat.

The conversation with Hikigaya just now made him completely give up any resistance. After all, the opponent had already calculated Katsuragi to that extent. With this little trump card left, Class C had no room to fight back and could only let the opponent slaughter them.

Seeing this, Hikigaya didn't waste any time and said calmly, "What I ask for is very simple, just like what you got from Katsuragi. I need you, Class C, to give me enough points every month!"

"How much do you want?"

"I remember your contract with Katsuragi, in exchange for 200 class points, I will give you 20000 points each per month. I want the 20000 points there."

Hikigaya sneered mercilessly, "As long as everyone in Class C gives me 20000 points every month, I will not tell anyone what happened today, and I will also let Kamuro destroy the photos I just took."

"..."

Hikigaya's calm yet cruel words caused the scene to suddenly fall into dead silence.

His words, which were so outrageous in many aspects, plunged everyone present into a deep silence.

Especially Kamuro, after she followed Hikigaya here tonight, there has not been a single second when she was not in a state of shock and panic.

She once thought she had seen through Hikigaya and felt that this guy was a monster no less than Sakayanagi Arisu.

Now it seems that her evaluation is even a little low.

Once this dead fish eyed man got serious, he even gave her a sense of oppression that surpassed that of Sakayanagi. His tactics were so ruthless that her legs and feet went weak just by looking at him.

Not to mention Class C, which is currently the victim and is being severely beaten by Hikigaya.

"Don't go too far, Hikigaya!" Ibuki Mio complained immediately, "Just based on what happened today, you want our class to give you 20000 points every month? Do you think this is possible? Even if you tell others about this, we won't lose that much!"

"Yes, so I will give you the information about the leader of Class D." Hikigaya smiled and waved his hand. "This is my special benefit. I originally planned to resell it to you at the price of 10000 points per person per month. Now I'm giving it away for free. Don't you think it's a good deal?"

"The leader of Class D..."

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Ibuki Mio's eyes suddenly flickered and wavered.

After all, Hikigaya's methods were too despicable, just like an online store seller who first offered a very high price and then gave away a valuable gift at a low price.

Most people simply cannot resist this kind of marketing and fall into confusion.

Helplessly, Ibuki could only look at Ryuen and leave everything to Ryuen Sho to decide.

She originally thought that Long Yuan would be as shaken as she was, and would at least hesitate for a while before making a decision, but she didn't expect that he would immediately say, "I agree."

"Eh?"

Ignoring Ibuki Mio's surprise, Ryuen Sho stared at Hikigaya firmly, "I can give you points, but I have a condition."

"condition?"

"Tell me who in Class D saw through my plan!"

Ryuen Sho stared at Hikigaya with a cold gaze, his eyes flashing with a burning and cold determination.

Chapter 318: The Lone Ranger Does Not Need to Be Treated Gently

Ryuen Sho wishes to know who in Class D saw through his plan.

This clearly shows that Ryuuen has completely believed Hikigaya's words and no longer has any doubts about what he says.

This is also a matter of course.

After all, Hikigaya did not tell any lies, and he had more than enough reasons to prove his statement, so naturally there would not be any flaws.

However, Hikigaya does not intend to tell Ryuen directly that Ayanokouji is the mastermind behind Class D, who guessed Ryuen's existence and made a plan.

The reason he did this was not because he had any friendship with Ayanokouji and did not want to cause trouble for the other party.

the reason is simple.

Because Ryuuen would definitely not believe that Ayanokouji was the mastermind behind Class D's uninhabited island exam.

For a suspicious person like Ryuen Sho, even if Hikigaya has expressed his sincerity so far, the other party will not trust him unconditionally.

If the other party learns from Hikigaya that Ayanokouji is the mastermind behind Class D, they will definitely go to investigate as soon as possible, or even take the initiative to test him.

However, there is no way that Ryuuen's level could possibly reach Ayanokouji's.

Any attempts by the opponent would ultimately be ineffective, and it would be impossible to see Ayanokouji's true ability.

At that time, Ryuuen would most likely not suspect that there was a problem with his own abilities, but would instead direct all the conflicts towards Hikigaya.

There is a high probability that the other party will think that Hikigaya deceived him, maybe he was playing a trick on him, or maybe he had other plans, but he decided to think in this direction.

Ryuen Sho would definitely not think that there was something wrong with his abilities.

This is also the limitation of the other party as a dictator, that is, excessive trust in his own abilities.

However, this is also a necessary limitation in some cases, because if a dictator cannot even trust his own abilities, how can he impose his will on anyone other than himself?

But no matter what, Ryuen Sho's bad character meant that the other party would not believe Hikigaya's words.

Therefore, it is impossible for Hikigaya to directly tell the other party the information about Ayanokouji.

If that happens, not only will the trust that Hikigaya has worked so hard to build up with Ryuen suffer a huge blow, it may even arouse the vigilance of Ayanokouji.

If Ayanokouji found out that I was secretly dealing with him, who knows what kind of trouble it would bring.

That kind of thing is a hundred times more horrifying than the way Sakayanagi usually disgusts him.

So in response to Ryuen Sho's question, Hikigaya decisively refused:

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you about this."

"Oh? Didn't you say you never paid attention to the fights between classes?" Long Yuanxiang looked at him deeply, "Why can't you tell me this information? Could it be that the so-called mastermind behind the scenes was actually made up by you to fool me? Or is that person also your lover?"

"Pfft, how is that possible!"

Hikigaya was nearly choked to death by Ryuuen's vile words.

God damn, Ayanokouji is my mistress. I'm about to vomit just imagining that kind of thing.

For this reason, Hikigaya quickly explained: "I just don't want to get involved in the fight between classes, you know that, right? My goal has nothing to do with the class situation. If I am forced to participate in the class fight, it will be more harmful than beneficial to me."

"Tsk, you really have a twisted personality." Ryuen Sho believed Hikigaya's words and stopped forcing him to reveal the identity of the mastermind behind Class D. "In that case, can you explain the situation of that person? Or let me guess and see if it's close?"

"I don't guarantee that my answer is true."

"Humph, of course I know that." Ryuen Sho glanced at Hikigaya with dissatisfaction, "The person who made the plan was Horikita Suzune?"

"No."

Hikigaya shook his head. He had already guessed that Ryuuen would guess about Horikita before the other party opened his mouth. After all, the latter was too outstanding and no one could easily ignore him when observing Class D.

"Hmph, your reaction doesn't seem fake, and I don't think that Horikita has that kind of strength." Ryuen Sho said to himself, "Could it be that guy named Koenji? I heard that he left the uninhabited island on the first day and returned to the cruise ship. If he is the guy behind it, he might sneak back from the cruise ship like me and secretly plan everything."

"You have a very rich imagination, but unfortunately you are still wrong." Hikigaya shook his head. He didn't think that Ryuen's poor mind could guess the truth about Ayanokouji. "It seems that I should give you a hint. The mastermind behind this is just like me. He is one of the most insignificant characters in Class D."

"Oh?"

When Ryuuen heard what Hikigaya said, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "I don't think you are a small character."

“Is this the point?”

At this point, Hikigaya felt that he had said enough.

At least he had helped Ryuen narrow the scope greatly, so no matter how stupid the other party was, he should be able to have a rough search range, and maybe there would be a chance to find Ayanokouji's true identity.

Of course, it is more likely that the other party will not be able to find Ayanokouji's true identity.

But Hikigaya didn't bother to care about such things.
