The waiter was also very understanding and brought over tableware for two people.

"Hikigaya-san—" Ichinose had a guess at this time.

But Hachiman really used a knife to split both the scones and the toasted sandwiches into two equal portions.

I handed each of them to Ichinose.

"I feel like it's too much, so can you help me finish half of it?" Hachiman asked.

"Uh-uh... then I'll be disrespectful in declining it."

Ichinose, realizing that this was the other party's good intention, could only nod and leave.

Yes.

She was struggling over which set meal to order. If she ordered two, she might not be able to finish them, but her calorie intake would exceed the limit, and she didn't want to gain weight.

So restrain yourself.

Now if we split it in half, the calorie intake will not exceed the limit.

That’s why it’s said that only children do multiple-choice questions. Ichinose-san, you are already an adult, so you should learn to take all of them.

And this was the fifth time he had met Ichinose and done this.

in this way.

The memory ends.

Ichinose-san is so cute, but there are still some people who want to do something bad to her.

Don’t you think it’s too much?

Senior Nanyun.

……

"I think we need to deal with Ichinose's situation this time."

Hachiman said, "Our goal is no longer to get promoted, so attacking Ichinose or watching Ichinose get attacked is not a good idea."

"So you're ready to take action?" Horikita-san then looked over.

She doesn't hate Ichinose nor does she like her, but she thinks the three rumors spread about Ichinose are really excessive.

Although Horikita Suzune often has a stern face and is aloof, she also has a sense of justice in her heart.

"Almost, but I need your help," Hachiman said.

"My help?"

"Yes." Hachiman said, "In fact, the rumor you spread was caused by Kushida, and Ichinose helped. Now that Ichinose is in trouble, you can actually ask Kushida for help."

"Go... ask Kushida for help?" Horikita's hand holding the kettle suddenly stopped.

Because she had a strong objection to the suggestion made by Hachiman.

Go ask Kushida for help.

Go ask Kushida for help.

In the rumor incident, Hachiman said that Kushida was the ultimate mastermind, but now he is still looking for her. Isn't that poisonous?

This is too strange.

because.

Suzune couldn't believe Kushida-san anymore.

Or perhaps Kushida-san's credibility is too low. And now we need to help Ichinose, so how can we ask the trustworthy Kikyo Kushida for help?

In other words, although Horikita's sister abided by the bet honestly, her evaluation of Kushida has dropped significantly.

"You can trust her this time. Besides Ichinose, she's the one with the most connections," Hachiman said. "But you're also underestimating her. Kushida-san treats all her friends fairly and equally. So deep down, she considers Ichinose a friend, and she'll do her best to help her. Right, Kushida-san?"

Hachiman suddenly turned around while speaking.

Horikita Suzune noticed his expression and words and looked back.

Just then, they saw a girl with short golden hair standing behind them, looking at them with a "smile".

"I just heard someone talking about my name, so I came here out of embarrassment," she said with a "smile."

She had returned from the cafeteria and suddenly sneezed. She thought someone might be scolding her, and she could only analyze that the people who scolded her were the two people in front of her.

"Horikita-san and Hikigaya-kun have a really good relationship." Kushida said kindly.

! !

But Horikita Suzune was startled.

She was a fairly calm person, but now she felt the panic of someone who had said something bad about someone and was immediately caught.

“…” She didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

"Then you can come and help." Hachiman stood up and offered his chair to Kushida Kikyo. "Right now, the popular Ichinose is being attacked. We can't be sure if the perpetrator is planning to attack someone else who's also popular."

The next popular person?

Isn't it her, Kikyo Kushida?

Although his IQ is not high, Kushida feels that Hikigaya is deliberately exaggerating and even wants to get her help for free.

but.

Kushida maintained his smile and didn't sit down or continue talking.

Instead, he looked at Horikita Suzune.

"...Horikita." Hachiman had no choice but to pat Horikita's shoulder.

"...Kushida-san." And Horikita had to say, "This time, I hope you can help me."

"Well... can we just consider this as Horikita-san owing me a favor?" Kushida's voice suddenly became endearing. "And can you offset that with the previous incident and improve my rating?"

Kushida intertwined his fingers, looking very happy.

The previous incident she was referring to was the rumor about Horikita that she had assisted in.

And taking it would also offend Horikita.

"..." Horikita took a while to respond, "Yes."

She doesn't know yet that Kushida is only an accomplice and not the principal offender, so the answer here is equivalent to forgiving the perception that Kushida is the principal offender.

It can be seen that Horikita really wanted to help Ichinose this time, so she made such a big sacrifice.

"Yeah." After receiving this answer, Kushida-san was in a good mood.

I even feel that it doesn't matter if Hikigaya takes advantage of me for free.

Because for someone with Horikita Suzune's personality, if she said this, the other person would actually improve their evaluation of her if she responded seriously.

And she continued.

"Okay, after all, Ichinose-san is also my friend, so how can I just sit back and watch such rumors spread about my good friend?"

"And this is the information I got." Kushida then began to share the intelligence he had easily obtained, the source of the information, and the truth hidden in the information.

In order for rumors to spread, they cannot be empty lies. They must hide some truth so that they are not easily exposed or denied.

Just like the rumors about Horikita before, which ranged from being the student council president's sister to the student council president being partial, etc., the truth behind them was that Horikita was indeed the student council president's sister. So once the rumors started, she couldn't immediately respond or deny them.

Then the rumor spread more and more widely.

Kushida Kikyo is the best at this kind of thing, so her anti-reconnaissance skills are also quite advanced.

Only from her can you get effective help.

Asking Kushida for assistance seemed to be leveraging her strength, and Kushida also achieved her goal of eliminating Horikita's dissatisfaction with her. It seemed to be a win-win outcome for both parties.

But no.

In the case of Horikita's rumor, influential people like Kushida can incite others to gain great power, so there is no guarantee that she will not cause trouble this time.

Therefore, by leveraging her power, we can eliminate the possibility of her causing trouble.

In other words.

Kushida Kikyo was sealed away.

So this is Hachiman’s real purpose, to calm down the guy who is in the way.

Then comes the opportunity to resolve the incident.

Looking at Horikita's sullen face and Kushida-san's gradually cheerful expression, Hachiman just wanted to shake his head. These two were still not smart enough.

I really can't imagine what kind of trouble these two would have suffered at the hands of people like Sakayanagi if he wasn't in the class.

……

Kikyo Kushida is a person who is very good at socializing, and her sources of information and her ability to grasp information are terrifying.

Although Hachiman could seek help from Hirata and Karuizawa, they could only interact with classmates in the classroom at most, and had no information sources from other classes, so the information they could collect was very incomplete.

"The person who fanned the flames can be confirmed to be from Longyuan's class."

"But before anyone found the rumor about Ichinose in their shoe cabinets, someone had already started spreading it," Kushida said. "And, this time, no one witnessed the rumor being placed by anyone from Ryuuen's class."

This drew the attention of both Horikita and Hachiman.

"The source of the rumor is a girl from Class D, also known as Ryuen Class. But considering her emotional state, I suspect she wasn't the first to spread the rumor. It's possible that her crush, Hashimoto, spread it," Kushida said, adding her own information to the summary.

Then a character named Hashimoto was pointed out.

Hashimoto's full name is Hashimoto Masayoshi.

That is, the person who was cheated out of 100 million points by Hachiman in the forest exam and then recorded a classmate farting in order to repay the debt.

But at that time, Hashimoto was the spy of our class, and he wanted to cling to Ryuuen's thigh, with an attitude that said, "I don't care who is the boss, as long as you take me to Class A, everything will be fine."

In other words, he is a fence-sitter.

and so.

It is unclear whether his actions were directed by Sakayanagi or by Ryuuen himself.

If it was Longyuan, then Longyuan should have been bribed and hired by Nanyun.

And if Sakayanagi instructed him to do it, then... Sakayanagi-san is indeed an obstacle on the road to promotion, a big boss.

because.

Hachiman analyzed it.

Nan Yun wants to be the president, although he no longer has the qualifications, but he still has his subordinate Kiriyama.

Kiriyama-senpai is also qualified to be a candidate for student council president.

So what he wanted to do was get Kiriyama on stage.

And for Kiriyama to come to power, he can use the plan of attacking his competitors.

Just like the previous rumor, reporting Ichinose's huge points, and then Arisu Sakayanagi reported it.

First, ruin Sakayanagi's reputation.

In such an election, Sakayanagi will definitely not be supported by Ichinose's supporters.

But soon, Nanyun did not give up attacking Sakayanagi, but chose to attack Ichinose.

This is very strange.

Although they didn't attack Sakayanagi, it was Sakayanagi who directly arranged for people to wait in ambush, and then reported to the student union when they caught the person.

It seems like a difficult idea.

However, it would be strange to continue attacking Ichinose.

Because Ichinose is the current class representative of Class A. If you attack the class representative, will Class A still give you 40 votes?

So that's what it is.

Perhaps Ichinose really does have a disturbing side or a dark history.

And maybe she herself hasn't come out of it.

If her attack fails and she is rescued by someone, she may be conquered.
