Hikigaya Challenges Kakegurui

This is a method he often uses when facing embarrassing situations or feeling restless. All negative emotions and unnecessary thoughts will be automatically filtered out, achieving the so-called ethereal state.

The mystery novelist's professional habits kicked in again, and he observed the girl in front of him with clear eyes.

'No matter from which angle you look at her, she is a top-notch beauty. With such looks and figure, she is definitely at the top of the food chain among high school students. She will probably be pursued crazily by seniors in the sports club.'

'She was bowing and apologizing, her purse was shaking, and the sound was...'

"Did you forget to recharge your card... I'm so sorry." Princess Qi smiled gently and was about to exit the special car and find another way to get to school.

It's money!

A girl who forgot to add money to her transportation card due to a momentary negligence, but was carrying a bag of Fukuzawa Yukichi!

A big part of Hikigaya Hachiman's motivation for coming to Hyakkao Garden Academy was to make friends with the upper class. Therefore, in order to make friends with rich ladies, even though he was born with social deficiencies, after repeated training, he was able to disguise himself well.

Where there is a will, there is a way. His natural defects are nothing compared to the hard work of Hachiman Hikigaya.

And at this moment, isn't the person in front of me a rich lady who is in trouble? At this moment, as long as I make a slight move, I will reach the limit of my first plundering of her favorability.

With this in mind, it would be impolite to engage in any more mental activity.

Hikigaya Hachiman cleared his throat and stood up decisively: "Well, if you don't mind, use my transportation card."

Hikigaya Hachiman looked frank and did not give the princess cut girl a chance to refuse. He walked up to her and swiped the magnetic card very generously.

"Ding, student card."

The girl seemed a little surprised, but then she reacted and bowed slightly to express her gratitude to Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Thank you so much, classmate. I would have been late without your help."

"My name is Jabami Yumeko, what's yours?"

"Hikigaya Hachiman."

The two of them briefly exchanged information. Looking at Jabami Yumeko's voluptuous body in her sexy school uniform, Hikigaya Hachiman felt flustered again. His inherent social deficiencies limited his prepared speech at this moment.

Helplessly, I started reciting prime numbers again.

"Eh? Hikigaya-san, what are you talking about?"

"It's okay." Hikigaya Hachiman regained his composure and looked around to find that the seats in this special car were already full, and there were several people staring at the seat he had just vacated.

Then, he made room for Yumeko Jabami in front of the sight.

"I'll give you this seat."

Jabami Yumeko put her slender and pink index finger on her chin, thinking: "Hikigaya-san is not trying to please me, after all, he's so nice to me when we just met for the first time."

"No, you're worrying too much." Hikigaya Hachiman pointed at the laptop that was still emitting residual heat: "I came from Chiba and have been working with my head down. Stand up and relax for a while."

"That would be disrespectful."

Jabami Yumeko didn't refuse anymore and sat down with her plump and elastic thighs in black stockings together.

"Let me help you carry your luggage."

Jabami Yumeko tilted her head, stretched out her hand, and took the luggage from Hachiman without saying a word.

Looking at the apple with a missing corner printed on the notebook, Jabami Yumeko said, "It's a new model of Apple notebook. It seems that your family is well off, Hikigaya-san."

"Nothing, I earned it all myself."

Jabami Yumeko's eyes lit up: "Really? I also like to make money on my own. It seems that we will become friends with a lot to talk about, Hikigaya-kun."

"Her profile is so pretty." Hikigaya was fascinated by her again, "Wait, she said she likes to make money on her own..."

3 Hikigaya Hachiman feels uncomfortable

Hikigaya Hachiman couldn't help but look at Jabami Yumeko again.

How do girls of this age make money on their own? Could it be...

Hikigaya Hachiman always likes to make the worst assumptions, which is inseparable from his somewhat tragic childhood experience. Of course, it's not her fault for thinking too much, there are too few students at this age who can make as much money as he does.

Judging from her appearance, Yumeko Jabami can be said to be top-notch, but she doesn't have any expensive ornaments on her body, and she doesn't even have the most basic manicure for a girl.

Is it naive? But she recognized at a glance that this was the latest model of Apple laptop. Generally speaking, girls rarely pay attention to digital products.

He has an incredibly high affinity, and can make you feel "in love" with just a few words.

Could it be... a career like an internet anchor or a virtual idol? But if you are engaged in such an internet career, you shouldn't even forget to recharge your transportation card. That bag full of cash must be fake.

Cash happens to be ○○'s safest means of transaction.

Various definition-like terms kept appearing in Hikigaya Hachiman's mind.

He gave his own reasoning:

[First: A prominent family background is a prerequisite for admission, and I am a special case]

[Second: The family has fallen into poverty, and simplicity is a bit too much]

[Third: He has received a good education, has amazing affinity, and is suspected to be able to see the weak spots in people’s hearts]

[In summary, it is not ruled out that Jabami Yumeko may be engaged in a profession like "baba work"]

Hikigaya Hachiman was frantically ringing the alarm bell in his heart. His emotion and rationality were constantly clashing at this time. He was unwilling to believe that this girl who was gentle, generous and rich could possibly engage in that kind of profession.

"Hikigaya-kun, you're not thinking of anything rude, are you?" Jabami Yumeko covered her mouth and tilted her head, looking at Hikigaya Hachiman tenderly.

"By the way, what grade is Jabami-san in?"

"you guess?"

"First grade."

"Eh? Why are you so decisive?"

"Because for someone as popular as Jabami-san, only a first-year student would be alone like this."

Jabami Yumeko listened to Hikigaya Hachiman's reasoning, and couldn't help revealing excitement in the depths of her eyes: "So, Hikigaya-kun is also a first-year freshman?"

"Well...even if I go to second grade, I will probably be alone, so the above reasoning does not apply. But, Jabami-san is right, I am indeed a first-year student."

"What a coincidence, Hikigaya-kun. Is it fate that has brought us together here?"

Jabami Yumeko's face was filled with joy, her red eyes were clear, and her pure and radiant aura made Hikigaya's heart flutter.

He repeatedly reminded himself that his previous reasoning about Jabami Yumeko might be true.

'But her profile is so pretty, with a princess cut, it really suits my aesthetic...'

The special bus finally arrived at the station and the students on the bus began to file out.

Hikigaya Hachiman felt a little dry in the mouth, and he recited prime numbers countless times during the second half of the journey.

At this moment, he and Yumeko Jabami stood side by side in front of the school gate, marveling at the luxury and grandeur of Hyakkaou Academy.

Even though Hikigaya Hachiman has one foot in the upper class, he couldn't help but be amazed: "I wonder how much money this school cost to build. It really deserves to be the leading aristocratic school in Japan."

“That’s what I mean.”

Yumeko nodded, agreeing with Hikigaya.

She turned around and bowed slightly to Hikigaya Hachiman again: "I have to go to the principal's office to complete the admission procedures. I will say goodbye to Hikigaya-kun here."

"Yeah. It's okay."

In the car, the two had exchanged contact information, which was the first step for Hikigaya to make friends with rich women. However, what was beyond his expectation was that Jabami Yumeko was also a transfer student like him.

However, it was clear that he had a better relationship than Hachiman Kigaya. As for the matter of admission, he did not need to go through the admission procedures in person, as that scumbag Yukinoshita Haruno had already taken care of everything for him.

"Once I've completed the formalities, I'll deposit the money into the bank right away. The fare is 1000 yen, right?"

"You can't calculate it that way, because I got on the bus at the last minute, so it's about 777 yen."

Hikigaya Hachiman calculated the account in a serious manner, with no intention of being lenient just because the other party was a beautiful girl.

"Okay. I'll call you later then, Hikigaya-kun!"

"Goodbye."

Looking at Jabami Yumeko's receding back, Hikigaya Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh...what a difficult woman."

Seeing that there was still some time before class time, Hikigaya was no longer in a hurry to go to the classroom.

Out of professional habit, he decided to tour this luxurious school alone. In case any murder happened here in the future, today's tour would be helpful and would be of great benefit to his fame.

Where there is surveillance, where there are blind spots...

"Well, considering the security of this school, a murder should be impossible." After a while, Hikigaya gave his own judgment.

This process brought him new doubts.

That is:

There were several classrooms with their doors closed, and no signs indicating what club they were. There were also a few with the same dog tags as the one on the special bus, and this time Hikigaya could see them clearly.

The male is a "stupid dog" and the female is a "mixed cat".

It's a really insulting word. Hikigaya saw 37 such dog tags along the way.

Is this some kind of club's evil intention? Thinking back to when Yukinoshita Yukino started her own service club in junior high school, it doesn't seem strange.

This is probably some kind of club that you won't find in ordinary schools, such as the "Human Behavior Art Observation Department" or the "Smooth Internship Department".

After all, it was an aristocratic school, a field that Hikigaya Hachiman had never set foot in. From what I had read in the books, the rich and powerful played with all kinds of money. The same was true for their children. In this light, it was not surprising that this kind of dog tag appeared.

As he walked, Hikigaya arrived at his class.

"One year Chinese group..."

Swah——

Hikigaya pushed open the door, and there was no chaos in the classroom. Instead, there were still a few students with dog tags, doing the humble job of mopping the floor.

"It's weird, too weird." As a mystery novelist, Hachiman Hikigaya felt a deep sense of disharmony at this moment.

They are children of powerful families. Taking into account the strong self-esteem of teenagers and their desire to compete with the opposite sex, would they really go to such lengths for a weird society?

"So, could it be that Yukinoshita Haruno, that scumbag woman, has screwed me over again?"

4 Hikigaya discovers the truth about Hyakkaou Academy

"Quiet, there's a new student today."

A pretty female teacher walked up to the podium and shook the lesson plan in her hand. The noisy class suddenly quieted down, and their eyes were all focused on Hikigaya Hachiman who was standing next to the teacher.

On the first day of transferring to another school, I wanted to run away.

Despite receiving professional training, Hikigaya still subconsciously felt panic.

All he talks about is introductions, but all he thinks about are prime numbers.

He presented all the prepared remarks in his mind, highlighting how mediocre they were. Fortunately, the head teacher did not make things difficult for him and just pointed to the corner near the window.

"Just sit there."

"Ryota Suzui, I remember you were the student council member, right? Take the new students around the school after class."

"Yes."

Suzui Ryouta didn't seem to be in a good mood... Hikigaya subconsciously locked onto the plain-looking boy with a dog tag around his neck, and noticed that he was looking fearfully and covertly at a girl with golden twin tails next to him.

Oh? Is this the real one?

Hikigaya suddenly became interested and followed his gaze towards the girl with golden twintails, but unfortunately he met her brown eyes that were looking at him without any scruples.

The pleated skirt full of gyaru style reveals the white thighs, and it seems that if it is lifted up a little bit, the absolute area can be seen. The face is embellished with light makeup, and the black ribbons of the two ponytails make people want to tear them. Each nail is painted with light pink nail polish, the color is the same as the lip gloss, is this...contrast?

From her, Hikigaya Hachiman vaguely saw the shadow of his junior high school classmate Yuigahama Yui. However, the difference is that Yuigahama Yui pretended to be a hot girl, but in fact she was as pure as a white lotus. And the one in front of him... was probably a real bad girl and a hot girl.

The aggressive look he gave his prey made Hikigaya Hachiman feel very uncomfortable.

In particular, the other party licked the corner of his mouth, looking like he had him in his grasp.

"I don't know what happened, but I think a hot girl is targeting me."
