"The Himiya Group is just a group chat where Chihaya helps us study!" Hasebe, who understood the situation, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry and hurriedly explained, even showing the chat history to Sakura, "I'm not lying to you, right? Even if you don't believe me, I should believe Chihaya, right?"

Sakura looked embarrassed, because her animal-like instinct seemed to tell her that Chihaya was more dangerous.

But after all the persuasion, Sakura finally understood that the Himiko Group was not a gang organization.

"So Sakura-san can think about what I said about the magazine and give me an answer," Chihaya said.

115. Do you want to join the Concubine Group?

Sakura had no choice. After all, compared to the notorious Sudo, the gentle and kind Chihaya was better - although the other party didn't sound like a good person, but at least she offered good conditions, which was very important to Sakura who followed her heart.

Besides, Sakura's points were really stretched to the limit. She originally thought she could get 100,000 points every month, so she generously bought a digital camera in the first month.

You have to know that the price of a digital camera is more expensive than the handheld game console that Yamauchi and the others bought. Although Sakura herself is not the type of person who spends a lot of money, the points left after buying the camera are indeed a bit of a stretch for two months of food expenses - what girl doesn't want to drink coffee or milk tea at least two or three times a week?

Therefore, without even finishing her coffee, Sakura decisively agreed to Chihaya's request.

"A wise choice, Sakura-san." Chihaya smiled slightly, "I can advance you part of the reward."

As she spoke, Chihaya used her phone to transfer 20,000 points to Sakura.

"Did you get it? Depending on the sales of the magazine, there may be bonuses in the future." Chihaya continued to make plans, "After you finish your coffee, can you take a couple of photos so I can see the results?"

"Sure." Sakura straightened her hunched back a little when she heard about taking pictures. She might not be able to be a model for the time being, but as a photographer, it should be no problem for her to take pictures of others. "So what do you want to take pictures of Himiya-san?"

"Let's take a photo of me and Haruka, since she's here." Chihaya said without hesitation, as she had already thought about this.

"Wow! There's something for me to do?" Hasebe was very happy to hear that. He immediately came over and hugged Chihaya's arm and raised his hand to his cheek and made a "yeah" gesture. "How about this?"

"Haruka, this pose of yours is more suitable for taking selfies with a mobile phone, right?" Chihaya said with a smile, "Since we have a digital camera, can Sakura-san help us design the pose?"

He then looked towards Sakura.

"Okay." Sakura immediately imagined several poses in her mind, but they were all poses for the two-person photo shoots she had fantasized about, so her face immediately turned red.

Although I didn't mean to skirt the line in a sense, because the front armor is really majestic, even ordinary clothes will be photographed quite tight, let alone swimsuit photos. The swimsuit, which may not be considered revealing, looks like a bikini on her.

"Let's find a place where there's no one." Chihaya said with a smile, "Today's weather is also very good, very suitable for taking pictures."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it!" Hasebe nodded again and again, "By the way, Boss, does that mean Sakura-san will join our Himiya Group?"

"Huh?" Chihaya was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Hasebe to ask such a question at this critical juncture.

"Look, except for you, everyone else in the Himimiya group is from Class D! It's very reasonable for Sakura to join, right?" Hasebe argued. Although there were only three people in the so-called Himimiya group, there were only two people left excluding Chihaya, so the D content was 100%.

"If Sakura-san doesn't mind, it's just a group chat that we created to facilitate study." Chihaya said helplessly, "Besides the two of us, there's also Miyake-san, you should know him, right?"

"I know him, but we've never spoken." Sakura said in a low voice.

It's normal that they haven't talked. Only a few people have talked to Sakura, Hasebe thought.

However, Sakura didn't seem to have any intention of joining the group chat, so Hasebe didn't bring up the matter any further, and instead started talking about taking photos.

In order to comfort Sakura, Chihaya called Kushida in front of her and expressed his hope that she would not talk to Sakura about Sudo-related matters for the time being, and that he would be responsible for handling this matter.

Kushida readily agreed.

Just kidding, if she doesn’t agree now, she will have to stay up all night. She doesn’t want to take a day off, nor does she want to cosplay as Puff.

"Then let me handle the matter regarding Sudou-san." Chihaya said, "If Sakura-san wants to help Sudou-san, you can give me the evidence and I will take charge."

"Is this convenient?" The question was not from Sakura, but from Hasebe. "After all, you are not from Class D, right? Is it okay for you to attend the CD meeting?"

"Theoretically, I shouldn't be able to attend, and the witnesses must be present in person." Chihaya glanced at the "little animal" who was terrified when he heard that he had to attend and continued, "Then we just need to deal with it before the trial begins."

“Is this possible?”

"Of course, first of all, Sakura-san went to the special building to take pictures, right? Did you take any pictures?"

"Yes, yes." Sakura nodded.

"Can you show it to me?"

"Of course!"

So Sakura took out her camera, looked around before showing Chihaya the contents of the photo.

"Based on the photos, this wasn't Sudo's one-sided beating at all, but a fight between CDs," Chihaya said. "However, it's not enough to help Sudo-san out of trouble, so we can only reduce his sentence."

"I think so too. Only if there is a video recording can it be proved that Sudou-san was acting in self-defense after being provoked."

"It's probably going to end up being a lose-lose situation, right?" Chihaya said.

"I, I don't know what to do..."

"Even if I give the photo to Sudou, the other party might choose to lose both of us so that Sudou won't show up for the next exam."

"Is it worth it? There are no class points for small special exams." Hasebe asked puzzled.

"No one knows if there will be any impact later on." Chihaya shook her head. "According to the school's principle of putting strength first, there may be some connection in the future. If we can ensure victory, there may be some hidden benefits."

"If that's the idea, then it would be better if Sudou-kun didn't participate in the competition."

"In this case, Sakura-san, please don't worry about this matter. I will contact Suzune and Kikyo later to discuss how to deal with it, okay?"

"Then, please!" Sakura breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid of these troublesome things.

"There shouldn't be any problem with Horikita-san and Kogei-chan, but I'm worried that the other people in the class will have a problem with you, the big boss. After all, it's good for Class B if Sudou-san doesn't show up, right?"

"It doesn't matter. I will prove it with facts."

......

116. Consultation

"So, from now on, Chihaya-san will be the full representative of Sakura-san?" Kushida said helplessly. She didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear. It was obvious that Chihaya had no intention of intervening at the beginning - it couldn't be because she had a crush on Sakura, right?

Although Kushida could see Sakura's beauty that was hidden by her glasses, she didn't think Chihaya would like Sakura.

Based on her understanding of Chihaya, she must be doing something for a purpose, not just doing good deeds on a whim.

But she still hasn't figured out how Chihaya got in touch with Hasebe, especially how quickly they progressed to the point where they were calling each other by their first names. It couldn't be because she was attracted to... Wait, I think I've already thought of this before?

Anyway, Kushida and Suzune were sitting in Chihaya's room, discussing with him the dispute between the two CD classes.

Suzune didn't even look at Kushida. She didn't leave the table just to give face to Chihaya. According to her, the subsequent matters had nothing to do with her and she could just let Kushida do it.

"Yes, and now I understand the situation on both sides." Chihaya took out the photos and placed them on the table. "Although we found Sakura as a witness, the situation is still not greatly affected. On the one hand, Sakura is from Class D, not a third party. On the other hand, the photos are static. The photos she took cannot prove Sudo's innocence at all. Instead, they confirm that he did it. As for Class C, it can be said that they protected themselves in a panic. So if we really deal with it, Class D will not get any benefit. It can only be said that both sides suffer losses."

Suzune remained noncommittal, while Kushida looked worried.

"Is there no other way?"

"Class C shouldn't be afraid. According to the worst-case scenario, both sides will suffer losses. However, Class C can use this trick of 'Tian Ji's Horse Racing' to disable Class D's Sudo." Chihaya put away the photos on the table. "However, there are always exceptions."

"As expected, Chihaya-san does have an idea, right?" Kushida said in surprise.

"Yes, but I don't know if you, Class D, are willing to accept it." Chihaya nodded, "Both sides will suffer losses, which should be the worst plan for Class C. If Class D just wants to preserve the class points, they can negotiate with Class C and ensure the implementation through the student union certification."

"Is this still possible?" Kushida asked.

"Yes, otherwise it will be troublesome when the contract is torn up. The student council can ensure this." Chihaya refilled the disposable paper cups in front of the two with green tea. "You can discuss it with Hirata-san and the others when you go back. For example, Class C can withdraw the lawsuit, and Class D's Sudo can not participate in the special exam."

"That's an idea." Lingyin nodded, but didn't comment too much.

"This is the only solution." Kushida said helplessly, "But I guess Sudou-san won't accept this result, right?"

"If you want to keep the class points, someone has to make sacrifices. Besides, Sudo-san is reaping what you sow." Chihaya did not save face for Sudo and said harshly, "But anyway, this is an internal matter of your D class. I am just expressing my personal opinion. You all have seen Sakura-san's character. If she attends such a serious occasion, it may have a counterproductive effect."

Kushida fell silent after hearing this. Although Chihaya's words were merciless, every word made sense. It was basically impossible for Class D to win completely.

"Although it was a trap set by Class C, it's no wonder that Sudou-san stepped into it without hesitation."

"That's true, but unless it's absolutely necessary..." Kushida was still reluctant to accept it.

"The deadline is next Tuesday, right? If you continue to hesitate, the points for the entire grade won't be distributed. Even the students in Class D need those 5000 points, right?"

"Okay, let me discuss this with Hirata-san." After listening for a long time without saying anything, Lingyin finished the tea in her cup and stood up. "In other words, it's almost the same as an out-of-court settlement."

"Suzune, can you accept such an arrangement?" Chihaya looked at the girl with long black hair with interest. He originally thought that Suzune was the stubborn one who opposed his idea.

"Isn't it great that we can keep the class points?" Suzune said this and prepared to leave, "Thank you for the hospitality, Chihaya."

"Okay, Suzune, take care." Chihaya stood up and saw the guest off.

And Kushida was still sitting there with no intention of leaving.

Soon, Chihaya returned after seeing Suzune off.

"I didn't expect that Horikita didn't object." Kushida said.

"She didn't tell the truth." Chihaya poured herself a cup of tea. "She wasn't so calm before Sakura took out the photo. Because of the photo, Class C is a little bit at fault. Although the Student Council can accept reasonable excuses, Class C's reputation will be ruined. If they want to reach any cooperation with other classes in the future, they will be questioned."

"Will Class C really be affected like this? A smart person should be able to see that this is Class C framing Class D, right?"

"Yes, of course it can be seen, but Class C didn't pay enough attention to the details. For example, they didn't even arrange for someone to pick them up. Otherwise, even Sudo and Sakura wouldn't be able to be saved."

"Why Sakura too?"

"You didn't think Sakura was just taking pictures of the scenery, did you?" Chihaya took out the photos again, but there was a selfie that wasn't there before. "What I just showed you was cropped, this is the original."

"Ah, this...she's even more beautiful than I thought."

"To put it simply, she is a photo blogger. I won't tell you her name. Her behavior is actually very subtle because the photos she uploaded involve places like dormitories and school scenery. Strictly speaking, it is a leak. If Class C catches on to this, then her behavior will be more serious than Sudo's."

"So you plan to protect her?"

"No, her photography skills are indeed pretty good." Chihaya said. He and Hayasaka were scheduled to be on the cover of the second issue, so he had decided to grab a photographer on a whim and disrupt Class D at the same time.

However, Chihaya did not quite understand why Ayanokouji had not taken any action yet. If he had dealt with Sakura in advance, it would have interfered with Ayanokouji's actions - although he did not know what Ayanokouji would do.

If the CD "settles out of court", it cannot be considered a lose-lose situation in any way.

Chihaya was looking forward to Ayanokouji's performance.

As for Ayanokouji being in a bad mood? He ignored this possibility.

117. My elder sister is really an invincible lucky star

Class D's affairs were handed over to Class D, and Chihaya also let Kushida take the photo away - of course, the one without Sakura's selfie.

Otherwise, Sakura, who is as timid as a mouse, would probably get into a lot of bad relationships. For example, Haruki Yamauchi, who changes his wife faster than an otaku, even boasted that Sakura confessed to him but was rejected by him.

In fact, no girl would like such a boastful guy. Even if someone confesses to him, it will probably be a punishment item in the King's Game.

Because Suzune found the witness with the help of Chihaya, Honoka, who had originally planned to help, suddenly lost her job so that she has been a little relaxed for the past two days.

For Class B, although the points will be issued a few days later, it does not affect them at all. After all, the students in the whole class are gradually developing good financial management habits, and they are naturally more relaxed after knowing that this problem has nothing to do with their class.

The only representative of them is Chihiro Shiranami - this kid has been intensively shopping in supermarkets to research ingredients recently, which makes Chihaya, who met her by chance in the supermarket, feel even more sympathetic to Hoba.

If we start from this aspect, Bai Bo might be thinking of the strategy of boiling a frog in warm water, conquering the city step by step.

Especially after seeing that Shiraha really planned to buy high-end ingredients, Chihaya became even more conflicted.

The only one who will benefit from this is the supermarket owner! Few people buy those high-end ingredients! Even Chihaya and Hayasaka rarely buy those high-end ingredients in order to avoid extravagance and waste.

If the points hadn't been issued with a delay, Chihaya believed that Shiranami would have bought high-quality ingredients without hesitation to make a bento for Honoki.

If you eat someone else's high-end lunch box again and again, it will definitely be quite embarrassing after being confessed to.

As the saying goes, "A man who eats someone's food will be grateful to him; a man who receives someone's gift will be obliged to return the favor." You eat their high-quality ingredients every day, and now you turn around and coldly refuse them, which is a bit inhumane.

Even though they are two girls, just because others don't think too much about it doesn't mean Fanbo won't think too much about it.

Chihaya, who knew Honami's character well, could guarantee that she would feel very guilty. However, using points to make up for it at this time would be even more subtle.

After much hesitation, Chihaya decided to give Honami a little hint of the situation to prevent her from being caught off guard.

"I didn't expect that Horikita from Class D would find the witness so easily." Hoba said with emotion.

"Suzune is still very smart, but she is a little aloof." Chihaya smiled, "She is just not very good at dealing with people. It's not intentional, okay?"

"It's obvious that she's not honest enough, but she's not the kind of introverted kid who doesn't dare to speak." Fan Bo agreed. After all, Lingyin looks like a pretty sister who looks heroic. "And her bento is delicious, right?"

The last sentence was naturally a mockery of Chihaya.

"It tastes really good. Do you want to try it too, Fanbo?"

"It's a pity that I can't eat it." Fan Bo pretended to be very regretful, "But if Chihaya is willing to make a bento for me, I don't mind, okay?"

"Then Fanbo can choose one night to come to my room. Although there is no lunch box, there will be hot dishes and hot meals."
