Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Ryuuen sat astride the back of one of the two empty chairs, occupying the huge space by himself.

This might be the reason why he didn't sit on the same side as Shiina, but instead chose to sit on the side of the table.

It fully revealed his bad character and tyrannical character.

"It's a rare opportunity, I'll order a cup of coffee." Long Yuan suddenly said, "If it's now, it seems to taste delicious."

"Then please order a cup for me and Hikigaya-san." Shiina Hiyori smiled, "What flavor of coffee would you like, Hikigaya-san?"

"Anything as long as it's sweet."

Hikigaya replied calmly.

"Hey, you like this flavor."

Shiina seemed to take the answer very seriously and even looked like she was trying hard to remember it, which made Hikigaya feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

So in order to ease the atmosphere, he took the initiative to say: "The reason why I asked you to come here this time is because I want to tell you something."

"whats the matter?"

"During the uninhabited island exam, besides me, there was another person in Class D who saw through your plan."

"what?"

Ryuen Sho couldn't believe what Hikigaya said, and an exaggerated expression suddenly appeared on his face, "If you want to irritate me, don't use such a boring way. Is there anyone in Class D who can see through my plan besides you? What a joke! Who can do such a thing? Are you talking about Horikita Suzune who is always by your side?!"

Ryuen Sho instinctively suspected that the person Hikigaya was talking about was Horikita. After all, the other party had a strong presence in Class D until now and was an existence that could not be ignored.

In fact, Horikita did help Class D solve many difficulties, and his cohesion in Class D was no less than that of Hirata Yosuke and Kushida Kikyo.

However, Hikigaya quickly shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, that person is not Horikita."

"I think so." Ryuen Sho accepted the answer calmly. He took the coffee from the waiter and took a sip. "Although Horikita Suzune looks a little special, she is just a stupid fool with a rigid mind. There is no way she can see through my plan."

"Yes, Horikita didn't see through your plan, so someone else discovered your plan."

"I can't easily accept this statement. Do you have any basis for it?"

If an ordinary person had said this, Ryuuen would have scoffed at it long ago.

Although he was not an absolute class-classist, he also had no idea about the overly corrupt Class D. He did not think there could be any special and strong people in this garbage dump of a class.

Individuals like Hikigaya are, after all, just exceptions.

"It's not difficult to see through everything after the test on an uninhabited island. Even Katsuragi can easily figure out the process if he knows the method." Ryuen Sho stared at Hikigaya. "However, this is just hindsight. If you can figure out my actions through the details during the test, it's not something that can be done easily. I don't think anyone in Class D can do it except you."

"It's really hard for ordinary people to do that, so that's not an ordinary person. If you, Ryuuen, just ignore that guy and don't target him, the situation between Class D and Class C might even be reversed."

Hikigaya calmly made threatening remarks, but this obviously had no effect on Ryuuen.

The tyrant of Class C just thought it was interesting, showing his white teeth: "Okay, I will assume that the person you are talking about exists, but if there is such a smart person, why did Class D only keep 50 points in the end? Did he see through my plan and do nothing?"

"Ryuen, why don't you think that it was because of what he did that Class D only had 50 points left?"

"Varied……"

Hikigaya's calm words made Ryuen Sho's expression completely frozen.

The latter was silent for a long time before he understood the logic of what the other party said. He said in disbelief: "You mean, that person saw through my plan and filled in that I was the leader of Class C, but because Class C changed its leader, Class D was deducted points and only retained 50 points in the end?"

"It's not difficult to calculate the total score of Class D. You must have been wondering why Class D showed a result that didn't match your guess, right?"

When Hikigaya said this, he didn't look at Ryuen, but at Shiina Hiyori who was beside Ryuen Sho.

In response, Shiina nodded silently: "Indeed, Class D should have retained 150 points in the end of the uninhabited island exam. Even if the leader was guessed by Class C, there should be 100 points left, but the result is only 50 points. This means that in the final guessing of the leader, Class D filled in the wrong leader. There is only this one possibility."

"..."

Even Shiina has agreed with Hikigaya's words, and at this moment Ryuuen Sho finally has to start taking Hikigaya's words seriously.

He hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Why did you tell me this? Didn't you say you were not interested in class struggles?"

Hikigaya has always claimed that he has no interest in class struggles, which not only means that he has no interest in dealing with other classes, but also has no interest in dealing with Class D.

If there really is a hidden chess player in Class D, Hikigaya shouldn't expose him.

"Just think of it as a whim that I want to help you a little." Hikigaya didn't say much about this, and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, the mastermind behind Class D should be exposed in this exam. I told you this in order to get Class C's assistance."

"Get assistance from Class C?"

"I want a chess piece that I can use." Hikigaya said his real request and looked at Ryuen silently. "If I do many things myself, there will be many risks, so I hope to borrow a chess piece from Class C to do some things that are inconvenient for me. Don't worry, I won't hide the process, and I won't harm Class C."

"Who do you want?"

Ryuen has basically believed what Hikigaya said, and his current attitude shows that he has accepted the deal.

And there was an inexplicable expectation in Shiina's eyes. He looked at Hikigaya the first time, with an eager look of "choose me, choose me" on his face.

However, Hikigaya had already decided on the candidate in his mind. He turned his gaze stiffly and looked at Ryuen: "I want Ibuki Mio. I need her to handle some things that are inconvenient for me."

"Ibuki?" Ryuen nodded in understanding after hearing the answer. "You have a good eye. She is indeed the best chess piece in Class C."

"It should be okay to lend her to me."

"Humph, I definitely won't lend it to anyone else, but if it's you, I approve of the deal."

Ryuen Sho nodded and agreed to the deal in which Hikigaya would use his identity as the man behind Class D in exchange for Ibuki Mio, the chess piece.

Hikigaya was a little surprised to see Ryuen agree: "Aren't you going to ask me why I didn't just tell you the identity of that person?"

"Humph, do you even need to ask? Because I definitely won't believe it." Ryuen Sho sneered, "If there really is a mastermind hidden in Class D who is not only powerful but also has no flaws, then even if you tell me that person's name, I will definitely not believe it. So I have to find him with my own eyes to be sure that such a person really exists. Before that, just assume that I was deceived by your dead fish eyes."

Ryuen Sho's carefree attitude solved a lot of Hikigaya's troubles without him having to explain any more.

Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief at this.

But then he found that Shiina's eyes were fixed on him, and there was obvious resentment in his eyes.

No, even if you looked at me like that, I wouldn't choose you.

Chapter 367 If Hikigaya-san wins, I can accept it

After reaching a deal with Ryuen Sho, Hikigaya wanted to take a stand directly, but was asked by the other party to stay and finish the dinner.

Although he was not used to eating with other people, Hikigaya was too embarrassed to refuse and had to agree.

"To be honest, I don't really care if there is someone behind the scenes in Class D besides you." During the process, Ryuen suddenly spoke up, "Even if there is such a person, since he can't even see through your tricks, it means he is just a nobody. I won't let go of a big fish like you and go looking for a small shrimp."

"I am honored to be valued by you, but unfortunately, I am not a big fish. I am just a guy with no sense of existence. The mastermind hidden in Class D is your real enemy."

Hikigaya expresses disapproval of Ryuuen's attitude.

He didn't feel that he had any qualities that were worthy of recognition from others. So far, he had never really participated in class struggles and had not demonstrated any abilities beyond ordinary people.

On the other hand, Ayanokouji is definitely not a simple guy. If Ryuen Sho dares to underestimate him, he will suffer a great loss sooner or later.

"Hmph, let's just assume that what you said is true." Long Yuan shook his head silently, "If such a guy really exists, I would actually look forward to fighting him."

"Aren't you worried about the increase in the number of enemies?"

Hikigaya was surprised by Ryuuen's attitude, because a normal person would not behave like this.

"Is there anything to worry about?" Ryuen sneered, as if he had no idea what fear was. "For me, it's actually a good thing that there's a hidden person in Class D. After all, I really like tactics like surprise attacks and assassinations. If someone can use the same tactics as me, it would make the days ahead less boring."

"It sounds like you don't care at all about being promoted to Class A."

"Promoting to Class A is my goal, but that doesn't mean I'm just taking action for the sake of it. I just want to enjoy the process." Ryuen Sho calmly ate the food on his plate. "To me, this school is just a stage. You, the dead fish eyes who are talking to me right now, are just a toy for me to kill time."

"Although you are so confident, what's the reality?" Hikigaya waved his hand silently, "The failure of the uninhabited island has proved that you are not as strong as you think."

"I admit that you are not an ordinary person, Dead Fish Eyes." Ryuuen snorted coldly, showing a tough attitude, "But apart from you, I don't think there is anyone in this school who can plot against me. Whether it's Katsuragi or Ichinose, they are just clowns on the stage. As long as I want to defeat them, I can do it at any time."

"So what about Sakayanagi?"

The person who said this was not Hikigaya, but Shiina.

Shiina has always wanted to correct Ryuen Sho's overconfident and conceited attitude, and now he does not hesitate to pour a basin of cold water on Ryuen.

In response to Shiina's sudden words, Ryuuen, who had never been at a loss for words, remained silent for the first time.

"That woman is the last delicacy. It would be a waste to eat her now."

Although he acted very strong, anyone could see that Ryuuen couldn't show the same confidence as before when facing Sakayanagi.

All I can say is that he is worthy of being called the little devil. Even the dictator Ryuen Sho can't help but feel wary.

……

After dinner, Ryuuen gave Hikigaya Ibuki Mio's cell phone number, and then left with Shiina Hiyori.

Although Shiina looked at Hikigaya several times during the process, showing an attitude that he also wanted to exchange phone numbers, he did not express much in the end.

Of course, Hikigaya would not take the initiative to suggest exchanging phone numbers, so both parties left.

The cruise ship exam will have two rounds of communication every day, one at 1pm and the other at 8pm.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Hikigaya went to the Dragon Group on time.

Since the joint action proposed by Hikigaya was not recognized by the three classes, this conversation naturally ended in failure again.

Since Class A was unwilling to cooperate in the discussion, the other three classes were unable to talk to each other.

After all, different classes have different policies, and not everyone can agree with each other. There are also classes like Class D that have no policies at all and are in chaos.

This is like putting carnivores and herbivores in the same fence, and it is almost impossible to integrate classes with different personalities smoothly.

In the end, the exam time just passed silently with nothing gained.

Although Hikigaya had no interest in taking part in the exam, he was quite curious about the reactions of different people. He huddled in a corner and observed the scene with great interest.

According to his observation, Kōhei Katsuragi and the members of Class A have almost completely decided on the silent operation and have not wavered on this point, which is very consistent with Katsuragi's calm personality.

In contrast, Ichinose and the members of Class B tried their best to ease the atmosphere and even tried to continue the conversation.

However, with Class A refusing to discuss, Class C not cooperating, and Class D unable to cooperate, Class B alone is doomed to fail.

In the end, Ichinose gave up on the possibility of discussion and simply started doing other things.

As for Ryuuen Sho and Class C, this is actually the class that Hikigaya cares about the most.

After all, according to Ryuuen's character, he is definitely not the type to sit and wait for things to happen, but will try every means to take the initiative.

However, the other party did not cooperate with Ichinose's conversation at all, which could only mean that Ryuen might have other plans to pass the exam in his mind.

Hikigaya was very curious about the plan that Ryuen would take. Although he didn't want to get involved in the class fight, it would be very nice if he could get a certain number of personal points from it.

In a sense, Class C can now be said to be his biggest cash cow.

Among the last group of people, the other two from Class D, Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo, had completely opposite attitudes.

Horikita Suzune looked calm and composed on the surface, as if she was not at all confused or shaken by the unusual developments in the exam, but if you looked closely at her expression, you could see that she was clearly at a loss.

On the contrary, although Kushida Kikyo looked uneasy and panicked on the surface, her eyes were filled with a firm belief, as if she had already decided on a certain way to achieve her plan.

This is really...

The so-called ulterior motives can be said to be playing out in reality.

……

An hour passed without any progress.

Everyone left the room, lamenting the waste of precious time.

Hikigaya also wanted to leave quickly, but he didn't expect Ichinose to suddenly hold him back. The pink-haired girl sighed helplessly:

"This exam is really hard, what do you think, Hikigaya-san? Don't you feel tired?"

"Ah this..."

I was happily daydreaming the whole time, so I didn't feel tired at all.

It's hard to say such words.

At the same time, Ichinose hesitated for a moment and suddenly said, "If possible, could you accompany me for a while?"

"Eh?"

If I were in junior high school, I would probably mistakenly think that the other person wanted to confess his love for me when I heard such misleading words.

When faced with a cute, charming and super popular girl like Ichinose, I would definitely surrender instantly and then start sprinting for the next relationship with all my strength.

Of course, Hikigaya would never make such a stupid mistake again.
