The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

"Be quiet first." Hachiman said.

"Uh-huh."

Karuizawa then held Hachiman's left hand with both of his hands.

"..." Hikigaya.

Although I feel that Karuizawa's current actions are causing him more trouble, a girl would definitely be panicked if she came to such a place.

Or maybe he was actually a bit timid, but considering there were girls around him, he had to hold on.

Think so.

Hikigaya-kun used a flashlight to illuminate the surrounding stone slabs.

He recalled seeing Sudo stepping on the mechanism just now.

really.

Hachiman quickly found a raised part of a stone slab, which seemed to be a device containing a spring. He pressed the raised part and immediately felt it loosen.

The stone slab seemed to be lifted up by a great force coming from above.

"Wow ah ah-"

However, when the stone slab was lifted, Karuizawa shouted loudly.

Because as the stone slab was lifted up, a silver-white flashlight light came towards them, and there seemed to be a figure standing behind the bright light.

"Well...that...I was also startled, but are you okay?" said the figure behind the stone slab.

The timbre of the voice was familiar.

Hikigaya-san looked over, and the other person looked back.

"Hikigaya-kun!" X1

"Ichinose!" X1

The slate was lifted up, and the figure behind it moved the flashlight to the side.

"Ichinose. Ichinose-san." At this time, Karuizawa also recognized that the person behind the stone slab was Ichinose Honami.

"You scared me." Karuizawa said.

“…”Sail waves.

Actually, Ichinose-san was also shocked.

because.

Why is Hikigaya-kun here, and...he's being held by Karuizawa-san?

And... there are two of them.

Ichinose-san looked at the two of them with a puzzled look.

"Um, how come you two suddenly appeared here?" After thinking for a while, Ichinose-san took the initiative to ask.

"Ah..." Karuizawa only then realized that he was still hugging Hikigaya-kun, so he quickly let go of him.

"We just came here to explore the cave with Sudo Ishizaki and the others. Everyone still feels that it would be bad to ignore someone who asks for help."

"But during the process, we touched the mechanism, and then Hikigaya-kun and I were locked in. Sudo and the others should be outside." Karuizawa said quickly.

It's like clearing up a misunderstanding.

Although she was a little anxious, Ichinose could still accept this explanation for the time being.

after all.

She remembered that she had also sent a message to Hikigaya-kun, inviting him to explore the cave with her and look for someone who needed help.

Then I was politely declined.

And now.

If she found out that Hikigaya-kun rejected her, then... she would explore alone with Karuizawa.

Then her mentality is probably a little bit unacceptable.

Chapter 038: Those who act on their own! Go!

Archangel Ichinose was trying to convince himself.

If a large group of people were asking for help, it would be normal for Hikigaya-kun to agree to their request. After all, he is the vice president of the student union and cannot just watch the students act recklessly. It would be terrible if something went wrong.

"So, Ichinose, what's the situation on your side?" Hachiman was no longer being held by anyone.

But he didn't know that Ichinose was traveling alone, and he couldn't just leave her here alone.

"Well, the classmates in the class were worried about something that might happen, so they organized a team of 15 people."

"We found the entrance to the cave in another direction and went in, but we discovered traps along the way."

"Then we continued to go inside, but just now I got lost with my companions." Ichinose said.

"But I remember the way I came here, so I can go back the same way."

"I just felt that I could go a little further, so I tried to walk over here," Ichinose said.

In other words, he wanted to continue exploring, and that’s when he met Hachiman and the others.

Or maybe they heard the noise from Hachiman and the others and then moved over here.

At this glance, the difference is obvious.

Compared with the team that Hikigaya gathered and the team of Ichinose's class, the team of Ichinose's class had already discovered the mechanism and were even following it.

The team that Hachiman gathered together was probably still waiting for help.

"Did you come in from the cave on the other side?"

Hachiman squatted down and used a branch to mark the direction he was heading and the location of the cave he had just encountered on the ground.

"We found two caves at first, and then we saw Hashimoto-san in one of them, so we chose the other one," said Ichinose.

She also squatted down and began to draw a rough route.

The cave that Yawata and the others entered was the one pointed out by Hashimoto, so let's call it Cave A for now.

In the west.

On the east side is where Ichinose and the others came in.

There is a second entrance there, called Cave B.

This means that Hashimoto had actually explored Cave A at the beginning.

And Hashimoto is so active, obviously only for himself.

It would certainly be a great thing for him if he could find the treasure.

We just explored the cave and didn't find anything unusual, so we evacuated.

Hikigaya-kun is gathering information.

When he came to his senses, he noticed that Ichinose-san seemed to be staring at him.

"What's wrong?" Hachiman and Honami are old acquaintances.

I immediately noticed that Ichinose-san's condition seemed a little subtle, as if she wanted to show something.

"Hmm, um... don't you think there is any smell here?" Ichinose said.

Then she gently touched her beautiful golden-pink long hair with her left hand.

At the urging of her classmates, she wore citrus-scented perfume today.

Although I feel a little embarrassed, this is actually because I thought Hikigaya-kun would go out with me, so I dressed up specially.

As a result, the invitation message was just sent out... and it was rejected.

But the perfume doesn't disappear immediately after being sprayed, so now that I've met Hikigaya-kun again, my efforts have not been in vain.

And Hikigaya-kun sniffed at her words.

There was a dry, arid smell of limestone all around, and this area probably hadn't had fresh air for a long time, so the smell wasn't pleasant.

"Do you like this smell?" Ichinose asked.

"?"

Hikigaya-kun gave her a strange look.

Because, do you like this strange mixed smell?

But Hachiman has a girlfriend after all, so even if he is straight, he will be turned straight by Kushida-san.

So I quickly realized that this was probably not what Ichinose was asking about.

So he used a more vague statement.

"generally."

"what?"

But the expression of Ichinose-san across from me suddenly seemed to become lost.

"..." Hachiman.

So the dialogue between the two sides is really not on the same line.

"Is Ichinose-san using a new perfume?" At this time, Hui came to Honami's side and reminded her.

Although Hui is facing away from Hachiman now, Hachiman already understands.

So this is what Ichinose was talking about.

"The smell in the cave is quite strong, so my nose temporarily lost the ability to distinguish it," said Hachiman.

"Hara, so that's how it is." Ichinose breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what are you going to do next? I came in here by mistake. I originally came in with Satou, Sutou and the others, but Sutou accidentally pressed the switch. But now it seems that the switch they pressed can no longer open the door."

“Yes, that’s what will happen.” Ichinose shared the information.

"Sometimes when I press the switch, the stone door will lift up, but when I press the original switch again, it may not be able to lift the stone door anymore."

“But there are usually other switches inside. We were locked in the cave as soon as we entered, but we found a new switch and were able to get out,” Ichinose said.

"So it seems there is indeed a treasure here."

"Uh, this." However, Archangel Ichinose seemed to be a little hesitant.

Hachiman knew about her family's situation.

Very poor.

But even if he is poor, he still has great ambition.

"While there might be treasure, it's still owned by someone, so breaking in without permission is already excessive, and taking it away is even more excessive."

"So, our class's idea is to first confirm if there is anyone calling for help."

"At least this point cannot be ignored." Ichinose said.

The difference between these words is obvious.

Many people who come here to look up Morse code are looking for treasure.

But Ichinose and the others were there for the person who asked for help and had little hope.

Although they finally chose to sacrifice their companions for the class in the special exam last semester and have grown, their nature has not changed.

Faced with huge wealth, one will definitely be shaken, but one can still maintain one's own values.

It's already amazing.

What Hachiman was thinking about at this moment was that Junior Amasawa suddenly postponed the exploration of the cave together. Was she also considering this point?

If there really is a treasure, then at least tell everyone who owns it.

So she didn't come in to investigate immediately.

And on Ichinose's side.
