Hikigaya Challenges Kakegurui

"No, of course it's not just for you." Hikigaya interrupted: "You just need to know that for me, he must die."

Hikigaya's cold tone made Saotome subconsciously feel fear.

Hikigaya, who always made her feel gentle and non-oppressive, suddenly made her feel like she was facing a vicious beast.

"So fierce..." she muttered.

Today, the One-Year Hua Group seemed to have returned to its previous calm. Except for the few people who spoke rudely to Kikiya and Jabami Yumeko last time, all of them were wearing dog tags now.

Hikigaya understood.

This was the benefit that Jule Xingzi gave him in advance.

They were forced to gamble under a random pretext, and then Jule's exclusive bitch was made to cheat as the dealer, and these people became stupid dogs without exception.

They are no longer as arrogant as before, and they endure the ridicule of their former "comrades-in-arms" submissively and do the lowest-level jobs in the class.

Sweeping, mopping, taking out the trash, wiping the blackboard...

The same means they used to persecute others were used against them.

In fact, Hikigaya is also curious. Aren’t these perpetrators afraid of being retaliated against in the future...or should they just live in the present?

This is very similar to the current thinking of Japanese people, and Hikigaya despises it.

"As expected, Japan's future is doomed."

With such a group of rotten people around, even the Momobashi family, who are at the top, can do nothing.

Hikigaya's plan envisions a future where, if he really wins one day, he will take everything he has gained in Japan and move his family to other developed countries to live.

With worldwide fame, he can thrive wherever he goes.

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario. Hikigaya still wants to live on the land he grew up on.

His eyes quickly locked onto Aiura Kokoro, who at the moment was wearing the stupid cat ID tag because she couldn't pay back the 10 million yen to Hikigaya Hachiman.

At this moment, he was surrounded and ridiculed by several girls.

Hikigaya walked over slowly.

72 Aiura's Heart's Plea

"Please make way." Hikigaya said politely while standing in front of the human wall.

Thanks to these people's fickleness, Snake-Bearing, who is still a mixed cat for the time being, does not have to be harassed by them.

"whispering sound..."

When the people surrounding Aiura Shin saw that it was Hikigaya, their voices suddenly became quieter and they silently made way for Hikigaya.

Although Hikigaya could still hear them cursing at him.

Ai Puxin has lost her former flamboyance. Her arrogant eyes have become dull and her bun has become limp. The monitor's armband on her arm and the stray cat ID card hanging around her neck complement each other, creating an indescribable sense of humor.

Her hands were neatly placed on her knees, her eyes were lifeless, and she didn't even react when Hikigaya came to her.

"Hey, Aiura."

Hikigaya's voice frightened Aiura so much that she shuddered. This voice that had been lingering in her mind for the past few days had left her with a deep shadow.

She shrank back to the wall, looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with complicated eyes, and said aggrievedly: "What, what are you doing..."

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Hikigaya had no intention of letting her go. Instead, he pressed on step by step, putting her under his shadow.

"Do you remember the bet we made?"

Bet...

Ai Pu was startled, recalling the memory that she had selectively forgotten.

Her face instantly turned red, and she subconsciously looked around and found that everyone's eyes were moving towards her. She said in a crying voice: "Don't, don't do this, there are too many people here. Please..."

"I didn't expect you to remember. I thought you would break the bet because it was a private one."

"I'm not that kind of person!" Ai Puxin defended herself, and then whispered, "I'm willing to admit defeat, but I really can't yell at you in class... please."

Hikigaya nodded in disbelief, tapping his fingers rhythmically on Aiura Shin's desk.

Then he changed the subject: "You don't have to keep that promise."

"Eh?"

"As long as you help me, that's ok."

"No, no problem, but what can I do now?" Aiura Xin looked dejected. She was defeated by Hikigaya Hachiman and embarrassed in front of the whole class, which calmed her impetuous temperament a lot.

Only when you have personally experienced the feeling of being trapped in the hell of bullying can you realize how hateful you were as a perpetrator.

Helping Hikigaya wasn't a decision she made on a whim.

After returning home, she thought seriously that Hikigaya Hachiman was definitely not an ordinary person. The temperament she felt from him and the momentum he burst out when facing desperate situations were something she had never seen before.

If we have to pick someone for comparison, Aiura Shin's evaluation is that when Hikigaya is serious, he is even more terrifying than Senior Mibu Omi.

Since I have to call him master in private, it seems natural for me to do things for him.

Ai Pu Xin did not resist. Submitting to the stronger one was her way of survival.

Besides, the scene where Hikigaya went against the whole class for her that day was already deeply imprinted in Aiura's mind.

So much so that now when I secretly glanced at Hikigaya Hachiman from the corner of my eye, I realized that he was really handsome. His facial features were delicate and his eyes were bright, but for some reason, the first impression he gave was that of a homebody.

Hikigaya looked at Aiura Kokoro in front of him with some surprise. Her performance once again proved Hikigaya's judgment of people. Aiura Kokoro had her own ambitions and was definitely not a fool obsessed with winning or losing and hatred.

"He's a man with a lot of potential," Hikigaya praised in his heart.

"Sometimes, information is more important than money." Hikigaya said leisurely, "I don't need the 10 million yen you owe me, but only if you can show enough value."

"Information?" Aiura Xin chewed over what Hikigaya said and said seriously: "Ask me, I will tell you if I know anything."

"Zen Sakikai, how much do you know exactly?"

Even Juraku Sachiko didn't know much about the specific information about the Zensaki Society. All she could get was information about peripheral soldiers like Kiwa Jun.

Overall, the Zensaki Society is considered a secretive organization.

From the information Hikigaya has at this stage, he only knows that Shimotsuki Meiori is also a member of the Zensaki Society, but the other party obviously will not tell him the information.

"Zensaki-kai..." A struggle flashed in Aiura's eyes. Since she lost the gambling, her application to join the Zensaki-kai was naturally rejected.

But revealing the information about the Zensaki Society would mean that she would stand against Mibu Aoi. The consequences would be irreversible. If Hikigaya Hachiman failed, she would spend the next two years in hell.

"What? Don't you want to say it?"

Ai Puxin looked determined, took a deep breath and said, "No, I do. But I know very little. What do you want to know?"

Since she has decided to cut off ties with her past self and has recognized the cannibalistic nature of Hyakkaou Academy, she loves Uranokoshi and must make changes!

What's with selling Ori next month, Mibumi Aoi, since you think my love for Urashika is useless, I'll prove it to you!

"Although my gambling skills are not good, this is my gambling with Aipura Shin!" She roared in her heart.

Looking at Hikigaya Hachiman, a very new thing arose in her heart.

"How much do you know about the executives of the Zensaki Society?"

Aiura Shin's increasingly fiery gaze made Hikigaya feel uneasy, and he took a step back unconsciously. Ever since being persecuted by Momobami, Hikigaya has become more sensitive to the strange looks of the opposite sex.

'I know the answer to this question!'

Aiura was delighted, as Hikigaya's question was exactly what she wanted.

Previously, when she was a trainee cadre of the Zensaki-kai, she had been interning under two certain cadres. At this moment, she just took this news as a gift for surrendering.

"I know this. I have been serving as a candidate officer of the Zensaki Association and has been interning under the command of these two officers."

"Who?"

"Everyone inside calls them the Old Woman's Head Sisters."

"They are twin sisters. The elder sister is called Uzhitou Naoko, with short blue hair and a braid on the right side. The younger sister is called Uzhitou Bangzi, with long hair and a braid on the left side."

"One more thing. The elder sister is the captain of the baseball club, and the younger sister is the vice-captain of the baseball club. Both of them are very good at baseball. As the main players of the baseball club of Hyakkaou Academy, they have led the team to win many national awards."

Old Woman's Head? Hikigaya stroked his chin. This is a very rare surname.

Moreover, compared to the identity of the cadres of the Zensaki Society, these two sisters are more like super-cool students who love sports in a regular school.

Hyakkaou Academy did not force students to participate in club activities, nor did it deliberately promote sports, but as a top university in Japan, there was no shortage of people with developed athletic nerves. With the support of top teachers, even without a sports atmosphere, various sports clubs achieved excellent results in national competitions.

Hikigaya nodded, affirming the value of Aiura Kokoro's information, and continued to ask: "Are there any more detailed information? For example, what kind of gambling are they good at?"

py“We will create a paradise where all races can live in harmony.

Our power armor will crush enemy vehicles.

Our drone swarms will obscure enemy ships and cities.

Our city will be suspended high in the sky, with elevators descending from the stars to pass through the barrier layer.

Our landing capsule will drop from the sky and land in any conceivable corner of any city."

"Stop for a moment,"

He interrupted the intelligent adjutant and said, "I just want to know why there are these strange icons and buttons behind my operator's illustrations?"

"All the rules of the personnel management system strictly follow multi-dimensional social psychological control science. Please do not worry about the effectiveness of any function of the system."

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but the adjutant continued speaking.

"Then, this machine will confirm the plan again--

This machine will be responsible for unlocking technology and building Rhodes Island Park, and you, the commander, will be responsible for adding population to the city. Are you sure?"

"You didn't answer my question accurately."

He crossed his fingers. "You should hear me out."

"Confirmed. Please explain."

“I think the options are simply not comprehensive enough.

There are too few of them.”

"...?"

73 Hikigaya Investigates the Hot Girls of the Baseball Club

Ai Puxin tried to recall: "Their gambling is usually not watched by people up close and personal."

“Even I can only stand outside the casino door and observe.”

"Do not you know?"

"No, I do know a little."

Ai Pu Xin said firmly: "The name of their gambling game is 'Hidden Rules'."

"It's also a poker-style gambling, but I don't know the specific rules."

"Has anyone ever defeated them?"

"Yes, Mibu Omi won."

She could see that Hikigaya Hachiman and Mibu Omi Aoi had a grudge against each other.

Since she has made up her mind to stand on the side of Hikigaya Hachiman, Aiura Kokoro's tone has changed and she will no longer use honorifics.

Hikigaya Hachiman looked thoughtful. The information that Aiura Kokoro could provide was limited, but at least it made him understand the next goal.

The next thing to do is to collect as much information as possible.

"Thank you, Aiura." Hikigaya said sincerely, "Forget about the 10 million debt and our private bet. After school, I will go and talk to Senior Juraku who is in charge of the stray cats in the student union. Then you can take off your stray cat ID card."

"I should be the one to say thank you." Ai Puxin's eyes flickered and he turned his head away with an unnatural expression.
