Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Thinking back to the last Rabbit Group exam, he had made a deal with Ryuuen to use Ibuki's power to test Ayanokouji. He felt that he could use the same method to spy on Ayanokouji's secrets.

At least he wanted to know how Ayanokouji persuaded Karuizawa to act for him...

Although Hikigaya had already had some guesses when he saw the scars on Karuizawa's body yesterday, as the saying goes, one must have evidence to do things, and without sufficient evidence, he did not want to imagine his classmate to be such a bad person.

Of course, all this was without any evidence.

If at any time he found evidence of Ayanokouji's bad behavior and confirmed that the other party was just as bad as he imagined, Hikigaya would probably not be able to accept the existence of someone like Ayanokouji and would become a complete enemy of him.

I hope that won't happen.

……

After riding the bus for more than an hour, the familiar scenery of Tokyo Metropolitan High School appeared in front of everyone.

What’s different from usual times is that the school’s main gate was tightly blocked, and only the dormitory building at the side door of the school was opened to allow students to enter.

This is obviously the characteristic of this high school, that is, every means is used when studying, but complete rest is allowed when relaxing.

From today until the end of the holiday, all students don't have to think about anything related to the exams. They can relax and enjoy a happy holiday.

Hikigaya was the first to get off the bus. He was undoubtedly ready to give up completely and relax during the vacation.

But at this moment, Shiina's voice suddenly came: "Hikigaya-san, summer vacation is coming next."

“Y-yes?”

Hikigaya asked back with a confused tone.

He really didn't understand why Shiina suddenly said such a thing. After all, it was not summer vacation next. Could it be winter vacation?

There is no need to emphasize it.

Shiina seemed to notice Hikigaya's slowness. She clenched her fists slightly and spoke in a clearer tone: "Even though two weeks have passed, there is still more than a month of summer vacation. To be honest, I feel a little lonely without seeing each other for such a long time."

"This……"

After hearing Shiina's clear words, Hikigaya could no longer pretend that he didn't understand.

To be honest, he could actually understand the other person's thoughts.

After all, Shiina is a lone ranger like himself. If he doesn't go to school, it is possible that he will stay in the dormitory for the entire summer vacation.

If you don't have the same indomitable will of a lone ranger as me, it might be difficult to resist this feeling of loneliness.

Moreover, Hikigaya was able to resist the loneliness of staying at home alone thanks to his lovely sister Komachi.

With my sister by my side, I won't feel lonely even if I'm alone...

No matter how you look at it, Shiina is an only child, she doesn't even have brothers or sisters. The loneliness she has always experienced may be even deeper than mine.

Thinking of this, Hikigaya couldn't help but feel a little sympathy in his heart, so he took the initiative to speak: "Well... do you want to read books together during the summer vacation?"

Although the library was closed for summer vacation, Hikigaya had anticipated this and borrowed a number of novels from the library to store up, enough to last until the next semester.

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Shiina, who was originally nervous and depressed, suddenly had bright eyes and nodded excitedly: "Okay, then when are we going!"

"Ah this..."

Seeing that Shiina looked like he wanted to read a book with him the next second, Hikigaya honestly didn't know how to react.

Shiina herself seemed to realize that her attitude was too enthusiastic, so she quickly kept herself reserved and tentatively asked, "By the way, Hikigaya-san, should we exchange phone numbers?"

"Eh?"

"If you exchange phone numbers, you can arrange a reading time via email in advance."

"..."

After hearing what Shiina said, Hikigaya really couldn't find any words to refute.

But for some reason, although he couldn't find any reason to object, he always felt that this was not a good idea, as if he had fallen into a trap.

"Well, that's fine...if you don't want to exchange phone numbers with me, that's fine..."

Shiina spoke in a tactful tone, and gave me a look that was both expectant and afraid of being hurt.

Hikigaya really couldn't find any reason to refuse. Moreover, the other party had already asked him like this, so he couldn't bear to refuse.

"...Okay, let's exchange, and we'll contact each other when we get back."

“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it!!”

Seeing Hikigaya agree, a bright smile suddenly appeared on Shiina's face.

Her cheerful look made people who didn't know her think she had won tens of millions in the lottery, which really made Hikigaya feel at a loss.

Is your mobile phone number so valuable?

……

After exchanging phone numbers with Miss Shiina, Hikigaya finally ended his two-week sea trip and returned to his dormitory.

Looking at the room which had hardly changed from two weeks ago, he excitedly threw himself onto the bed and lay on his back in a human shape.

However, after a short rest, his overly sensitive nerves became tense again for some reason.

Because his intuition was too strong, Hikigaya always felt as if he had forgotten something, as if something should have happened but did not happen in the end.

After thinking it over, he opened the contact list on his phone, and after seeing Arisu Sakayanagi's name, he finally remembered where the problem lay.

This guy Sakayanagi didn't even call me after the exam?

Is this the sun rising from the west?

Yes, Hikigaya felt that with Arisu Sakayanagi's personality, after learning the result of the cruise ship exam, that Class A was dropped to Class C, he would definitely call him and ask about it as soon as possible.

At worst, they would mock the Katsuragi faction.

But in fact, from the end of the exam to now, the other party has not contacted me, and there is not even any sign of this.

This represents only two possibilities.

One is that Sakayanagi finally got tired of playing with me. That little female devil finally lost interest in me and was ready for me to live a completely comfortable campus life.

The second possibility is that Sakayanagi didn't want to contact him, but there was something more important that forced him to get involved.

In other words, the other party may be holding back a big one.

No matter how you think about it, the latter possibility is more likely to happen.

As a pessimist, Hikigaya really couldn't help but speculate in this direction.

When he thought about the ultimate move that Sakayanagi might use after holding back for so long, he instinctively felt nervous and trembling from the bottom of his heart...

So, with a self-destructive thought in mind, Hikigaya decided to waste time having fun while Sakayanagi wasn't around to bother him!

If you waste your own time that could have been used to slack off because you are overly wary of the other party, then you are putting the cart before the horse.

With this thought in mind, Hikigaya immediately brought out a large number of new anime and various books that he wanted to watch but had not had time to watch from his room.

He was ready to enjoy this wonderful time like his last meal before execution with an almost fearless attitude, but before he could enjoy it, he was interrupted by a phone call.

"Who would it be at this time?"

Hikigaya looked at his phone in confusion, instinctively thinking that it was Sakayanagi who came to torture him so soon.

However, when he dialed the number and heard a cold male voice, he suddenly realized the identity of the caller - Student Council President Horikita Manabu.

"President?"

"Hikigaya, your first-year special exam is over, right?"

"You, you are really well-informed..."

"Because the exam materials just came into my hands." Horikita Manabu said in a cold but decisive voice, "Come to the Student Union right now. There is work to be done for you. Remember to wear your school uniform."

"..."

He didn't expect that his slacking life would be forced to embark on the path of a corporate slave before his life even began. Hikigaya felt numb, but he had no choice but to go to the student union.

Although regular students can't enter the school during the holidays, Hikigaya, as a member of the student council, apparently has special powers.

Of course he would rather not have this power.

After entering the teaching building, he saw people busy coming in and out of the Student Union Office in front, as if there was some special activity going on.

Senior sister Akane Tachibana, who had two buns on her hair, was also among them. When she saw him coming, she immediately smiled warmly and waved to him gently in front of her chest.

"You're here, junior."

Hikigaya was slightly stunned at first by Tachibana Akane-senpai's gentle attitude, then turned to look behind him.

As a lone ranger, he almost instinctively thought that this was going to be a scene where he thought the other party was greeting him, but when he turned around he found that it was someone else.

"What's your reaction, Hikigaya-kun?"

"Huh? So you really are calling me?"

"..."

Akane Tachibana was somewhat frustrated by Hikigaya's actions. She puffed her cheeks and said speechlessly: "You are really just like what the president said. You don't believe in other people's kindness at all."

"Hug, sorry."

"There's no need to apologize. Cute juniors don't need to apologize to their seniors."

cute?

What a weird adjective this is.

Can the word cute really be associated with my dead fish eyes?

Not understanding what senior Tachibana Akane was thinking, Hikigaya followed her silently into the student council office and saw Horikita Manabu sitting in the office.

Before he could even open his mouth, words came out of Horikita Manabu's mouth that completely confused him.

"Hikigaya, do you want to be the vice president of the student council?"

Chapter 401: For my sister, I might be able to fight the whole world!

"Do you want to be the vice president of the student union?"

The student council president suddenly said these terrifying words. At least Hikigaya never expected that the other party would say such exaggerated things to him as soon as they met.

Although most people would be so excited that they would want to jump up when they heard that they could become the vice president, Hikigaya knew very well that there is no free lunch in the world. If the other party gave him a huge benefit out of thin air, it must mean that there are huge troubles corresponding to this benefit.

Therefore, Hikigaya shook his head and refused without hesitation:

"No, I don't want to do that at all! It would be better to give this good thing to someone else! For example, Sakayanagi, Katsuragi, or at the very least, Ichinose!"

Hikigaya chose to shirk responsibility without hesitation and tried to divert Horikita Manabu's attention to other people in the same grade.

While Horikita Manabu himself didn't show any reaction to Hikigaya's reaction, senior Tachibana Akane couldn't help but say, "Wow, just like what the president said, this kid is so troublesome! He's the type who will treat any kindness as advertising and throw it away!"

Hey, hey, what did the president say to you in private?

I'm such a cute and charming character with dead fish eyes, but I'm not as troublesome as you say!

In contrast, Horikita Manabu himself obviously did not react as much as Tachibana Akane. He seemed to have anticipated Hikigaya's answer and spoke calmly:

"Although it is summer vacation, the student union still has a lot of work to do. We will need you to come over and help more often."

Horikita Manabu took out a lot of documents and walked over with overtime work that was like a corporate hell.

"No way, you still have to work during the summer vacation?"

As a student, Hikigaya deeply loves the two beautiful days of summer vacation and winter vacation, and wishes that all the four seasons of the year could be as beautiful as the summer vacation and winter vacation.

But now, even though it was still summer vacation, he wondered if the second semester had already begun.

Seeing Hikigaya's overly depressed expression, Senior Tachibana Akane kindly explained:

"This is because we want to use the summer vacation to renovate the student union office. Normally it is not so busy."

"The renovation of the student union office? The student union is going to change its leadership so soon?"

Although Hikigaya joined the student union for the first time after entering high school, he had studied the basic procedures of the student union before and knew that every renovation of the student union office meant a change of student union leadership.

Because the student council president can modify the layout of the office at will according to his own ideas.

This is a special power given by the school to each student union president.

In this high school where strength is everything, the student council president has even greater power, so he can do even more outrageous things than in an ordinary school.
