Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"Uh... ah?"

Why does Ichinose want to see me?

And why would you say this in front of other people?

Feeling the strange looks from Hirata Yosuke and Ayanokouji, Hikigaya said with gritted teeth: "Oh, but I don't know where your camp is."

The purpose of his saying this was simply to hope that the other party would stop talking because of the competition between classes.

However, Kanzaki didn't seem to understand Hikigaya's hint, and smiled and said:

"Our camp is very close. Follow the road from here. On the way back to the beach, there will be a broken giant tree. From there, go southwest into the forest. In front of you is the camping site of Class B."

"..."

Hikigaya was numb.

Aren’t these guys in Class B a bunch of idiots?

Chapter 264: Hikigaya, you clearly said you would help me improve my status in the class!

Hikigaya never expected that Kanzaki would directly tell him the location of Class B's camp, and he couldn't help but show a confused expression on his face.

Do you trust yourself so much?

Also, Hirata and Ayanokouji are still standing next to you, can't you please be considerate of them?

He complained in his heart.

However, Kanzaki Ryuji obviously did not hear Hikigaya's thoughts.

The vice-class leader of Class B was completely unaware of Hikigaya's resistance, and instead slowly revealed a gentle and appreciative smile.

No, no, even if you smile like this, I won’t know what you are thinking!

Or are you the protagonist of Ultraman Triga?

Smile, smile all day long?

Hikigaya finally sighed helplessly and nodded slowly: "I understand. When I have time, I will go to Class B to take a look."

"Well, our Class B will definitely give you a warm welcome then."

Kanzaki Ryuji said this, and at the same time, he deliberately glanced at Ayanokouji and Hirata beside Hikigaya, then turned around and left silently.

Could it be that this guy said these things in front of Hirata Yosuke and Ayanokouji on purpose?

But why do this?

Could it be that he wants to use this to improve his status in the class?

No, no, let’s not talk about whether it is necessary for Ryuji Kanzaki to do this. This kind of thing is really a bit unnecessary for me.

I just want to be a lonely and invisible person in the class.

After the people from Class B left, Hikigaya suddenly felt two distinct gazes directed at him.

Hirata Yosuke and Ayanokouji Kiyotaka both looked at him with incredible eyes.

Hikigaya sighed helplessly at this.

I really hope you can pretend you didn't see anything...

"Hikigaya, are you friends with that guy from Class B? He just mentioned Ichinose, do you know the class leader of Class B?"

Hirata Yosuke spoke in surprise for the first time.

"This..." Hikigaya was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly, "I met him before at school, so I know him a little, but I'm not very familiar with him."

"Is that so?"

Hirata and Ayanokouji did not believe Hikigaya's words and looked skeptical.

After all, the relationship that Kanzaki Ryuji just showed was clearly not to the extent of 'not very familiar', but it was hard for them to imagine that Hikigaya could be related to the big shots in Class B.

"Well, now that you're done washing up, can you go home?"

Hikigaya couldn't stand the attitude of these two people and took the initiative to propose to return to the camp.

"Okay, okay."

Hirata Yosuke nodded. Although he noticed that Hikigaya was unusual, he still couldn't believe it.

"They must be investigating Class D to see how we spend our points, right?" On the way back, Hirata Yosuke analyzed Kanzaki and his team's actions. "As long as we look at the number of toilets, showers, tents, etc., we can accurately confirm the expenditure of points. However, Kanzaki and his team probably want to know more than just that. They want to know the identity of our class leader."

"Indeed." Ayanokouji nodded. "If we were changing bases at that time, the leader's identity would be immediately exposed."

Ayanokouji seems to be very positive about this exam.

Although Hikigaya had vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Ayanokouji's attitude since arriving on the island, the feeling was even stronger now.

Could it be that Ayanokouji has also become anxious because of the actions of each class?

But why? Why did the other party suddenly take action?

Hikigaya couldn't understand this because he lacked the necessary understanding of Ayanokouji.

Maybe I need to test Ayanokouji some more later.

And there is Sakayanagi, who seems to be the only person in the school who knows Ayanokouji's identity.

As Hikigaya was thinking this, they had already returned to the camp.

"Well, compared to other things, I think the most important thing now is how to tidy up our beds." Hirata Yosuke said helplessly, "The floor here is very hard, so if there is no cushion or something like that to cushion the impact, if we continue to sleep like last night for a week, I'm afraid everyone will get a stiff neck."

"indeed."

Ayanokouji said this, but he didn't show any pain in his neck.

Hikigaya once again suspects that Ayanokouji is a robot in human form.

As for Hikigaya himself, he spent most of his time fishing last night and didn't get any sleep for several hours. Fortunately, he usually got enough sleep, so he wouldn't be too tired after staying up late.

Moreover, Hikigaya was forced by his parents to sleep on a hard bed since he was young, and he even slept without a pillow for a long time, but he didn't feel uncomfortable because of this.

However, he did have a good idea on how to solve Hirata Yosuke's troubles.

Maybe I can find someone to give him some advice later.

……

"Morning roll call has begun."

Before they knew it, it was time for morning roll call, and Chabashira Sae gathered all the students to the open space next to the camp.

Hikigaya arrived at the sign-in venue and immediately saw the exhausted students of Class D.

Sleeping on a bed made of mud for a whole night is a mental torture and test for most people.

There were also obvious dark circles under Karuizawa Megumi's face, symbolizing the fact that the girl did not get a good rest last night.

When Hikigaya signed in, he happened to be standing next to Karuizawa.

He didn't want to say anything more, but he didn't expect Karuizawa to take the initiative to speak:

"Hikigaya, thank you for helping me fight against Shinohara yesterday."

"Huh? What?"

Hikigaya was confused by Karuizawa's thanks.

Have you done anything worthy of thanks?

"You bastard!" Karuizawa was inexplicably furious when he saw Hikigaya's reaction, "You're not going to tell me that you didn't think about anything and just scolded Shinohara!"

"Well, I did think about it after all." Hikigaya recalled what happened before, "I just didn't like Shinohara at the time, so I did that."

"Are you unhappy with Shinohara? If Shinohara knew what you said, she would be so angry that she would die on the spot."

"Huh? Why?"

"Last night, Xiaoyuan cried all night after returning to the dormitory...Now many girls hate you so much that even I can't persuade them."

"That's really good things come in pairs."

Hikigaya spoke from the bottom of his heart.

He was already very unhappy with Shinohara Satsuki, and he was so happy that she was sad.

As for the attitude of the girls in Class D towards him, all we can say is that Hikigaya hopes those people will hate him even more, so that he will be more convincing as a lone ranger.

"you……"

Karuizawa looked like he was defeated by Hikigaya.

But after she sighed, she smiled. "How should I put it? I'm actually quite happy to see you confronting Shinohara. After all, I've been annoyed with her for a long time. Because she always does some very outrageous things, often instigating other girls to help her, and even forcing me to do things I don't want to do."

"If it weren't for my identity, I would even want to confront Xiao Yuan with you! I really want to scold her and make her cry, so that she will stop causing me unnecessary trouble!"

"..."

There was no hypocrisy in Karuizawa's words.

At least Hikigaya couldn't see any hypocrisy in the other party.

The other party is genuinely happy about what he does.

This was the first time Hikigaya had experienced this feeling.

Can his awkward and disgusting behavior really be accepted by others?

When Hikigaya was feeling complicated emotions, Karuizawa suddenly spoke:

"But if possible, I still hope that you can come to me for consultation before doing those things... At least, I can deal with Xiaoyuan on your behalf."

"You can't. As the leader of a girls' group, you can't do anything that goes against your position."

"Even so, I can still help."

"Help?" Hikigaya was surprised by Karuizawa's words, "Why do you want to help me?"

"That's because..."

The words got stuck in the middle of my speech and I couldn't finish them.

Karuizawa seemed to realize that there was a huge contradiction in his words, so much so that he froze on the spot.

After a while, she lowered her head silently and murmured, "Of course it's because I want to improve my status in the class. You almost forgot about me during this period of time! It was you who clearly said that you would help me improve my status in the class!"

"Ah this..."

Because he was busy with so many things during this period, Hikigaya completely forgot about anything related to Karuizawa Megumi, and completely forgot that he had promised her that he would help her improve her status in the class.

Come to think of it, how come I had unknowingly promised so many people to improve my status in the class?

Am I some kind of cheat code?

But I am not the grandfather in the ring...

"Ahem, how could I have forgotten?"

Although he had completely forgotten everything in his heart, Hikigaya still showed a confident attitude on the surface.

"Really?"

Facing Karuizawa's suspicious look, Hikigaya tried not to let on and said, "I was thinking about how to help you improve your class status last night, and I finally thought of a good idea this morning."

"Huh? Is it true?"

Hearing Hikigaya's words, Karuizawa's face suddenly showed surprise.

Hikigaya calmly said, "It's like this. Didn't Class D sleep on the ground last night? Aren't many people not used to it?"

"Yeah, my neck still hurts."

As Karuizawa spoke, she exposed her fair neck defenselessly.

"Ahem." Hikigaya tried not to be attracted by the girl's fair skin and spoke quietly, "I have an idea. Doesn't the school provide toilet boxes and sanitary napkins as well as absorbent cloths for unlimited use? As long as you apply for enough of these materials and put the absorbent cloths in water, can't you make something like a water bed? If you tell Hirata and everyone else about this, your status in the class will be further improved, and everyone will rely on you even more."
