Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Anxious Sudo tried his best to push his opponent away, but instead revealed a flaw.

Seeing this, Hirata Yosuke decided to make a desperate attempt to take off Ryuen's headscarf, but he didn't expect that the headscarf he had already got had a strange feeling and suddenly slipped from his hands.

At the same time, Ryuen Sho pulled off the headscarf on Hirata's head smoothly as if he had expected it.

Sudo, feeling defeated, dropped his knees, causing Hirata to fall off his horse.

"hateful!"

The furious Sudou stood up and glared at Ryuuen.

"What a pity."

Seeing this, Ryuuen smiled mockingly without hesitation.

Chapter 466: Karuizawa, did Ayanokouji ask you to come find me?

Although Ryuuen defeated the strongest lineup of Class D in one go and defeated Sudo and others, there are still more combinations left in the horse riding battle.

The former Class A, the former Class B, the former Class C, and Class D, a total of seven or eight teams, are now looking at each other with eager eyes.

The group that Hikigaya is in is also on the field, facing each other with the original Class B lineup that includes Ryuji Kanzaki and Sa Shibata.

However, Ryuen Sho didn't seem to be afraid of this situation at all. He calmly ordered several former Class C students under him to charge towards the horses of other classes without hesitation.

The war horses of the former Class B were the first to confront Ryuen and others. Kanzaki Ryuji immediately gave the order to mobilize all the war horses to put up a thorough resistance.

Seeing this, the warhorse that Hikigaya was on also rushed forward to provide support immediately, making it a multi-to-one situation.

However, what happened in the end was beyond everyone's expectations.

Just like when Ryuen fought Sudo and others before, although someone had touched his headscarf several times, they were unable to successfully grab it. Instead, his own headscarf was easily taken off by Ryuen Sho.

In this way, Ryuuen showed overwhelming strength and survived to the end.

"how come?!"

Faced with this result, Yukimura Teruhiko seemed very disappointed, even regretful.

After all, his hand had almost touched Ryuen's headscarf just now, but for some reason, he almost failed to grab the headscarf directly off and missed the best opportunity.

Seeing Yukimura's regretful look, Hikigaya couldn't help but look over, thoughtfully.

Some things can be described as coincidences if they happen once or twice, but the situation just now where someone almost caught Ryuen's headscarf several times in a row but was let go is very suspicious.

To this end, he quietly touched Yukimura Teruhiko's hand, but the other party was in confusion due to his loss and did not notice Hikigaya's action.

Hikigaya felt the sticky part in the other person's hand, and after careful examination, he confirmed that it was not sweat, but lubricant.

Because it was a highly concentrated competition, most people would have sweaty palms or even sweat all over their bodies due to nervousness, so Ryuen's behavior of squeezing out oil stains on the headscarf would most likely not be noticed.

Even if he noticed, Ryuuen would be able to bury the evidence afterwards if he didn't question it on the spot.

In fact, when Hikigaya himself realized this, Ryuuen had already taken off his headscarf and threw it around after the game.

To most people, this action might be seen as celebrating victory.

Most people would not feel anything wrong because Ryuen Sho has always been so arrogant.

However, Hikigaya knew very well that Ryuen's nature was not simple. He was a cunning and extremely rational guy who would never make useless claims.

The other person was probably shaking his headscarf to get rid of the oil stains on it.

What a cunning guy.

By the time Hikigaya saw through Ryuuen's tactics, Class D had already fallen into serious civil strife because of this tragic defeat.

"Why can't you take off your headscarf, Hirata! Cheer up!!"

Sudo Ken's anger was visible to the naked eye. He didn't want to lose to Ryuen at all, so his emotions instinctively became very excited at this moment, and he even put the blame on Hirata.

"Sudou..."

Hirata himself seemed to be very self-blaming, thinking that he was responsible for the defeat and showed obvious disappointment.

Although Sudo calmed down a bit after seeing this, he couldn't get rid of his depressed mood.

"Sudou, don't be like this, Hirata has tried his best."

"Yeah, yeah, there's no need to blame him so much."

"Didn't the others lose too? There's no need to focus on him alone."

"..."

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, the other members of Class D rushed over to try to stop Sudou from making a bigger mess of the situation.

However, as the saying goes, when one is angry, one fears someone trying to stop the fight the most.

A group of people came up to protect Hirata, and this attitude actually drew out Sudo's anger.

"What do you mean? You think there's nothing wrong with Hirata, but I'm the one with the problem?!"

Sudou was furious, and now completely took out his anger on the rest of the class.

Ordinary people could not stop Sudo's anger and could only show helpless expressions, not knowing how to deal with such a situation.

Seeing that Class D was about to fall into chaos, Hikigaya made it clear that he would not step forward at this time. He was not yet free enough to babysit for these guys.

But he was very curious about one thing, that is, Ayanokouji had clearly seen through Ryuen Sho's plan, and the other party should also be able to see how Ryuen just won the horse riding battle, but until now in this exam, Ayanokouji had not made a move once.

What on earth is Ayanokouji thinking?

After much thought, Hikigaya felt that the biggest possibility was that Ayanokouji had never thought about winning this sports festival from the beginning.

The other party allowed everything to happen from the beginning to the end, with the sole purpose of watching Class D lose.

Only in this way can he solve the cancer hidden within Class D in advance - Kikyo Kushida!

After confirming this, Hikigaya was able to see through almost all of Ayanokouji's actions, and felt even more dangerous than before.

Ayanokouji must have felt that instead of leaving behind Kikyo Kushida, who was difficult to control and posed a huge threat to the class, it would be better to eliminate her directly and maintain the foundation of Class D.

For this reason, the opponent even gave up the victory of this sports festival to ensure that the fact that Kushida was a spy was completely exposed.

If we infer from this idea, everything that Kushida Kikyo did has been seen by Ayanokouji, and he has made targeted preparations.

By the time Hikigaya had thoroughly confirmed Ayanokouji's actions, the chaos within Class D had become increasingly serious.

Sudo Ken was so upset by the D-class students who were trying to smooth things over that he shouted angrily, "Don't you guys want to win at all?!"

"Even so, I think you should calm down, Sudo."

Ayanokouji finally spoke, but it was impossible to tell whether he was trying to comfort him or add fuel to the fire. His words made Sudo Ken even angrier.

"You still have the right to speak?! Ayanokouji, you are also a war criminal! Why don't you hold on a little bit!"

Sudo was so angry that he even scolded Ayanokouji, forcing the latter to fall silent.

When the girls saw this scene, they all avoided it and dared not touch Sudo's brow.

The boys looked helpless and didn't know what to say.

Hikigaya saw it clearly from the side. The reason why things turned out like this was still the same old problem: Class D lacked a qualified leader.

Originally on the uninhabited island, Class D had already been involved in conflicts over this issue again and again.

Later, during the cruise ship exam, Horikita Suzune and Kushida Kikyo collaborated briefly and jointly served as leaders, temporarily solving the problem of Class D being leaderless.

But now, due to the retirement of Kushida and Horikita, the class once again fell into chaos without a leader.

Shaking his head, Hikigaya allowed the situation to develop in a worse direction, with no intention of intervening at all.

He left the camp, but unexpectedly found Karuizawa approaching from not far away.

After the cruise ship exam was over, the other party had been keeping a distance from me. There was a high probability that he would ignore me now, so I might as well just walk away.

Hikigaya made plans in his mind and took silent steps forward.

But at this moment, Karuizawa suddenly spoke:

"Hey, don't you want to help?"

"Are you talking about me?"

Hikigaya turned his head away in surprise, and his eyes reflected the blonde girl's unusually shaken expression.

"That's right. Even though other people may not know it, I know very well that you are a very capable person. Why don't you try to help me?"

"This... I have no reason to help."

Hikigaya wanted to say that he had no ability, but when he thought about what Karuizawa knew about him, he responded with another answer.

"No reason... huh?" Karuizawa said in a complicated tone, "Then why don't you try to help Horikita? She's been in a tough fight all day and even got injured. She's also been missing since a while ago. You have a good relationship with her, so you should try to help her."

"..."

Hikigaya totally didn't understand why Karuizawa wanted him to help Horikita. Did he have such a good relationship with Horikita?

After thinking it over, he could only honestly say, "I can't help you, because her problem is not just her own, but she is being targeted."

Horikita's disastrous defeat was the result of a joint effort between Ryuuen and Kushida, and Hikigaya had no ability to change the outcome.

"Being targeted?" Karuizawa was not too surprised after hearing this, "Yeah, that guy seemed to have said something similar before."

"That rascal?"

Hikigaya noticed the abrupt term from Karuizawa's mouth.

If not unexpected, this should refer to Ayanokouji.

Karuizawa seemed not to want to talk about anything related to the other party. He shook his head and said, "I really don't know what people like you are thinking. You are all so smart, but you don't like to attract attention. If you can be serious, maybe this class can really become Class A."

"No such thing."

Hikigaya is becoming more and more confused about the significance of Karuizawa's visit. Was this person sent by Ayanokouji to test him and want to cooperate with him?

But there was no need for Ayanokouji to let Karuizawa reveal this part of his thoughts. After all, the other party obviously did not take the initiative to reveal that Karuizawa was the other party's pawn.

But apart from that, Hikigaya couldn't figure out the purpose of Karuizawa's visit.

After thinking it over, Hikigaya really couldn't figure out the situation, so he simply asked tentatively: "Karuizawa, did Ayanokouji ask you to come to me?"

Chapter 467: Hikigaya, you will help Horikita, right?

"You, what are you talking about?!"

Although Karuizawa looked at a loss and didn't understand what Hikigaya was saying, Hikigaya was able to determine what he was thinking through the details of his actions.

It seems that my guess was correct, Ayanokouji was indeed coming for me.

A whole semester has passed since the beginning of school.

Most of the people in Class D are already familiar with each other.

Hikigaya also learned a lot about Ayanokouji, and even found out his true identity from Sakayanagi.

If that's the case, how could someone like Ayanokouji not know anything about me and be unaware of the little things I do in private?

This is obviously impossible.

Ayanokouji guessed that he had already discovered what he had done before, and was also aware of many of the actions he had taken in secret.

This will also cause the other party to wonder what one's purpose is.

Up to now, Hikigaya has done too many contradictory things. He seems to not care about class struggles, but he has helped Class D several times during class struggles.

He also said that he didn't want to get involved in other people's conflicts, but the reality was that he helped Horikita Suzune, Kushida Kikyo and others many times.

Therefore, at this point, in Ayanokouji's eyes, he must be a black box with strange behavior that cannot be thought of logically.

It was only natural for Ayanokouji to come and test him this time for his own purposes.

After all, Ayanokouji's goal is to deal with Kushida, and he hopes to completely eliminate Kushida as a spy.

But he wasn't sure if he would support him.

In order to prevent himself from interfering, he had to send Karuizawa to test the waters and make sure that he would not stand on Kushida's side.

That's why Karuizawa just said, "I hope I can help Horikita Suzune."
