Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"Do not……"

I sigh not because of physical fatigue, but because of mental fatigue.

Hikigaya felt more and more that his actions were meaningless. He could hardly imagine that he could convince Karuizawa Megumi to understand that strength is supreme.

In the final analysis, Karuizawa Kei's reaction to his behavior was just a retribution, and the other party must actually be quite disgusted with him from the bottom of her heart.

No matter how you think about it, talking to someone like yourself can never be a happy thing.

When Hikigaya was hesitant and didn't know whether he should continue to try to persuade Karuizawa, Karuizawa Megumi suddenly spoke up:

"Just now you seemed to be with people from other classes? Are they your friends?"

"What do you think?"

When Hikigaya heard the word "friend", he felt an inexplicable stomachache.

"Among those two girls, is your girlfriend?"

"How can it be!"

Hikigaya had no idea why Karuizawa Kei made such an association. He felt like he was going to die from a stomachache just by imagining Sakayanagi becoming his girlfriend.

"That's it..."

Hearing Hikigaya's words, Karuizawa Megumi nodded silently. Because she was walking in front, Hikigaya couldn't see her current expression.

"You can obviously talk to people from other classes, why are you so withdrawn in class? You can obviously join in..."

"Don't get me wrong, I don't have a friendly relationship with those guys. I was just forced to be a supporting actor by someone."

"Then come over to our place and be a supporting actor next time."

"No, no, I'm not interested in that..."

Extras also need to be paid.

Don’t think about getting it for free!

Thinking of this, Hikigaya suddenly felt that this was a good topic and he could tentatively tell Karuizawa something.

"Karuizawa, what do you think of Class D now?"

"How about what?"

In response to Hikigaya's sudden question, Karuizawa looked confused, as if this question made no sense.

"Okay, let me change the question. What do you think of Hirata?"

"This……"

Hearing Hikigaya's words, Karuizawa was stunned at first, then stuttered for a while, and said in a panic: "What do you mean? You want me to break up with Hirata and then pursue me? No, I've already said that you are not qualified now..."

Wow, is this the legendary Pu Xinnu?

Although Karuizawa's appearance could not actually be considered that of an ordinary woman, Hikigaya was still helpless against her overly rich imagination.

"No, I just want to hear your opinion about Hirata Yosuke and what you think of his status in the class."

"status?"

Perhaps understanding Hikigaya's idea, Karuizawa finally came back to his senses and said with a complicated expression: "He is very capable. Not only is he very popular in the class, but he can also make most people willing to listen to his opinions. He is a very suitable leader."

really.

Karuizawa's answer was exactly what Hikigaya had imagined. Although he was very slow in other aspects, he was unusually sharp in the concept of interpersonal relationships.

It can be said that the other party discovered Hirata Yosuke on the first day of coming to this class, and therefore tried every means to become the other party's "girlfriend", relying on Hirata Yosuke's influence to influence Class D.

It can be said that it is a very reasonable and effective approach to parasitize others to gain corresponding abilities and influence.

Hikigaya would not deny this type of way of survival.

However, precisely because Karuizawa chose this way of survival, the other party will certainly not easily give up the basis for his survival.

For example, downstream customers cannot be separated from upstream suppliers. Once they lose the sponsorship of their suppliers, they will immediately be unable to survive.

In this case, the method is very simple.

"Why are you talking to me about Hirata?"

"There are some reasons..."

"Don't be so hesitant when speaking."

Karuizawa rolled his eyes at himself.

"I just want to ask, can you continue to gain Hirata Yosuke's approval like this? As an excellent leader, will Hirata Yosuke continue to unilaterally indulge a girlfriend like you who cannot continue to create value and may even bring negative value?"

"W-what are you talking about?"

Karuizawa Megumi looked dissatisfied and didn't think what Hikigaya said made any sense.

"If you continue like this, you will gradually lose Hirata's trust. I guarantee that."

For a moment, Karuizawa's eyebrows twitched.

She gritted her teeth, "I won't let that happen."

"This school gives out 100,000 points to students every month. Are you sure this can continue?"

"Varied……"

"If the school suddenly stops issuing points one day, how will you survive in this school without points?"

"Of course it is..."

"Borrow from others, right? Whether it's Hirata Yosuke or someone else in the class, you can rely on your existing prestige to borrow points from them to survive." Hikigaya's tone became inexplicably sharp, "But have you ever thought about what the consequences of this will be? Borrowing points from others will not overdraw your reputation, but the reputation of Hirata Yosuke, your boyfriend."

"What if Hirata Yosuke is dissatisfied with you and can no longer allow you to continue? In fact, as a boy, I think most men have a limit to their tolerance. If you really can't accept the behavior of the opposite sex, breaking up should be a high probability event."

"B-Break up?!"

It seemed that this was the last thing Karuizawa Kei wanted to see, and her tone became visibly agitated.

"Do you think Hirata Yosuke will not break up with you? But what can you rely on to ensure this? In other words, if you don't work hard to maintain the relationship between the two of you, but instead keep eroding the foundation of the relationship, can such behavior really guarantee that Hirata will not get tired of you and propose a breakup?"

"..."

Hikigaya deliberately led the conversation in the most extreme direction. He deliberately attacked Karuizawa Megumi and used the worst possible way to make her face the reality.

There is no doubt that all this is the tenderness that belongs only to Hikigaya Hachiman.

Chapter 60: Maybe I am a born dirty politician

Hikigaya's overly direct words caused Karuizawa Megumi to fall silent.

Even with the other person's intelligence, after hearing what he said, he should be able to understand that if all this continued, it might really develop according to what Hikigaya said.

For a moment, the girl gave a silent response that was either a sigh or a groan.

It can be said that more than half of the reason why Karuizawa Megumi is able to gain such status and reputation in Class D now is due to her identity as 'Hirata Yosuke's girlfriend'.

If she loses this identity, no one can be sure whether the current Karuizawa Megumi can still gain the final say in the girls' group.

Seeing that Karuizawa Megumi had been influenced by his words, Hikigaya took advantage of the situation and attacked:

"If Hirata really breaks up with you, will the girls in Class D still support you? On the contrary, if Hirata Yosuke uses his influence, nine out of ten people will turn against you."

"This kind of thing..."

"Animals mostly live in groups, and carnivores have a hierarchy. If you don't become the boss, you will be oppressed to death. Once you choose this path, you must keep climbing up, or at least maintain your current rank and not fall down. Otherwise, the backlash will swallow you up along with your bones, and end completely amid the laughter of the crowd."

"..."

Hikigaya's series of words made Karuizawa Megumi fall into complete silence. The girl no longer responded and even lowered her head.

But Hikigaya still didn't give up.

"As long as you fall a little from your current situation, others will replace everything you have without hesitation, and naturally there will be people who tease you and make fun of you in the process."

Hikigaya continued to speak, trying to stimulate the pride in Karuizawa Kei's bones.

Yes, he could feel that Karuizawa Megumi was a proud person. Although for some reason unknown to him, this pride was buried deep in the ancient ruins, it did not mean that everything that once existed would completely disappear.

"Are you really willing to let everything fall into that state?"

Snapped--

Suddenly, there was a sound like a string suddenly breaking.

Hikigaya originally thought that Karuizawa Megumi would attack him like a threatened lion, which was consistent with his inherent impression of Karuizawa Megumi, and he was prepared to be treated in this way.

But to his surprise, Karuizawa did not make any hostile moves. Instead, he was like a drowning person, unable to struggle at all.

why?

Is my impression of Karuizawa Megumi wrong?

Is the other person essentially weaker than I thought, and the type of person who won't resist at all when facing danger?

Hikigaya began to doubt his past judgment and turned his head to stare at the girl who had not uttered a word from beginning to end.

"Hi-Hikigaya...what do you think I should do?"

Karuizawa Megumi's image is completely different from the past. She is as fragile as a piece of paper, and seems to be stuck in some quagmire, unable to extricate herself.

This image was so inconsistent with his past impression of Karuizawa Megumi, it could even be said to be so completely different that even Hikigaya himself was somewhat stunned.

Of course, no matter how surprised he was, he did not forget his original purpose.

In order to prevent Karuizawa Hui from falling into the abyss, he immediately replied: "Then just accumulate points from now on."

"Accumulate points?"

"Yes, if you want Hirata Yosuke to continue to recognize you as his girlfriend and for other students in the class to trust you more, you only need to accumulate points from now on and lend a helping hand to others when they are in crisis. You can get a very generous reward. Think about it carefully. If you suddenly lack points and lose the means to survive in this school, and someone is willing to lend you points, will you feel grateful to Him? This is the truth. Points are the only resource of this school and the foundation for everyone's survival."

State the biggest crisis for Karuizawa Megumi, and reverse this crisis so that the other party can take precautions in advance.

By doing this, even Karuizawa, who is not very smart and looks at things in a simple way, would probably be willing to follow Hikigaya's advice.

Hikigaya had seen this kind of lobbying-like tactic many times on TV before. Now he used it for the first time, and the effect was quite good.

Maybe people like me are born dirty politicians.

Hikigaya sighed silently in his heart.

On the other side, Karuizawa Megumi pondered over Hikigaya's words bit by bit. She gradually understood what Hikigaya said, and her expression was inexplicably complicated. "It's just a matter of accumulating points. Is it that simple? Can this really make everything last?"

Karuizawa Megumi is very smart in interpersonal relationships, but on all other issues, she is stupider than the average person.

The most important point is that she cannot understand the most fundamental thing, which is the value of human beings.

The differences between people may be money, status, appearance, or fame... But if all of these are to be of value, they can ultimately be summarized as "others' dependence on you."

When other people naturally become dependent on you, a person can be said to be successful on a social level.

Of course, Hikigaya would not say all of this. What he wanted to give was advice, not teach Karuizawa Kei how to be a person. He was not qualified to teach others.

After all, he himself can be said to be at the bottom of society, a minor role that no one cares about.

"You may not care about the points, but you must care about the moment when others ask you to lend them points. Regardless of whether others will return the points to you, the favor you owe will accumulate over the next three years until it comes into play at some point."

"Also, during these three weeks, didn't you notice that there were often senior students in the school cafeteria eating the most awful free vegetable meal? Do you think these seniors like to eat wild vegetables, or are they too profligate and don't have enough points, so they can only eat this kind of free food?"

Karuizawa Kei's body suddenly trembled, as if something was injected into her. Her body convulsed and finally became completely powerless.

"…Hikigaya, are you really smart?"

"What do you think?"

Hikigaya did not brag. Although he often thought in his heart that he saw things more clearly than others, he would never say what he thought.

After all, his goal is to become a househusband, not a miserable office worker.

Isn’t there a saying that goes “the right person for the right job”?

People who show their abilities will be squeezed dry by companies and organizations without any salary increase, so they will never take the initiative to demonstrate their talents.
