As soon as they met, Kushida couldn't help but complain to Hikigaya. It turned out that Ike and Yamauchi wanted to take advantage of the cruise vacation to confess to Kushida, so these two guys followed Kushida like dog-skin plasters and he couldn't get rid of them no matter what.
So in order to avoid these two plasters, Kushida had to meet Hikigaya in such a place.
After Kushida finished venting his anger, the other party took out several pieces of paper from his pocket.
"There are still two or three team rosters left, and we should probably be able to finalize them by tonight."
Hikigaya couldn't help but admire Kushida's intelligence gathering ability. In terms of intelligence gathering, Kushida's 'good friends' played a very important role.
Hikigaya took a look and put it away. However, this action made Kushida across from him suddenly annoyed: "Hey, I worked so hard to collect these things for you, and you just took a look at them?"
I don't know if it's because Ike and Yamauchi have been making things difficult for him recently, but Kushida still has a bad temper even after venting his anger.
"I've remembered it."
Hikigaya wasn't angry.
"How is it possible, so many names..."
Kushida paused mid-sentence, looking at Hikigaya's expression, which didn't seem to indicate a lie, and asked doubtfully, "Did you really remember everything?"
"Why did you lie to me?"
Hikigaya was confused.
"Haha, haven't you lied to me enough?!"
"..."
When Kushida was about to leave, Hikigaya looked at his back and suddenly called out, "Kushida, wait."
Kushida turned back impatiently, and Hikigaya asked thoughtfully: "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with you today?"
"Ah? Didn't I tell you it's all the fault of those two monkeys..."
Kushida looked annoyed.
"Aren't you curious about what I want to do? You didn't seem to mention the exam at all?"
"Huh? What are you talking about? Who cares about your business and the exam? Aren't we all the same?"
Kushida explained, but the panic in his eyes and the strange tone of his voice still made Hikigaya realize that something was wrong.
"I remember that you, Kushida, were in the Tatsuya group. Hirata and Horikita were in the same group as you, as well as Katsuragi, Ryuen, and Kanzaki..."
Hikigaya listed all the members of the Tatsuya Group, also known as the Dragon Group, which Kushida belonged to, without missing a word.
"It seems that the Chen team really has gathered leaders from four classes. It's quite lively!"
Kushida's expression grew increasingly grim, but Hikigaya acted as if he hadn't noticed and continued, "So, Kushida, what do you think of the Tatsu Group's preferential treatment?"
"I don't know. I had an appointment and left early because of something."
Kushida's face turned a little cold, and he prepared to leave after he finished speaking.
"Will you be the one being favored?"
Hikigaya's sudden words made Kushida stop abruptly. Kushida turned around and saw Hikigaya's half-smile, and his heart tightened.
"I was just making a random guess. Could it be that I was right?"
Hikigaya said with a look of surprise.
Kushida glared at Hikigaya fiercely and then left. Looking at the other party's departing back, Hikigaya frowned slightly. If he had just casually guessed that Kushida might be the favored one before, now he was at least 50% sure, and he was very sure that Kushida must be doing something behind his back.
I can only say that Kushida's emotional changes are too easy to understand.
Soon it was 8 o'clock in the evening, and the second round of discussion for the preferential treatment exam began. Just like the last time, Hikigaya's group could not discuss anything at all. Students from different classes who were originally in a competitive relationship were gathered together, and they did not know each other. In this unfamiliar environment and unfamiliar relationships, everyone was very wary.
Even though Hikigaya wanted to test him, as soon as he spoke, the students in the other three classes became very alert, especially Class C.
"Hey, Hikigaya."
Suddenly, Kamuro took the initiative to sit next to Hikigaya. He didn't care about the looks around him and asked directly: "How much do you know about Yukinoshita?"
Hearing that it wasn't about the exam, Ishizaki and the others, including Shiranami Chihiro, who were originally paying attention, lost interest. When the name 'Yukinoshita' was mentioned, Hikigaya could clearly see that the other students in Class B were looking at him, but most of their eyes were on Kamuro.
"All three of them are neutral."
Kamuro naturally noticed the gazes of his companions, so he explained to Hikigaya.
If Morishita Ai, Yamamura Miki, and Satonaka Satoshi are all neutral, it's no wonder that the three of them reacted so strongly when Kamuro mentioned Haruno's name.
Three neutral factions and the Sakayanagi faction?
"Your situation is quite delicate."
Kamuro rolled his eyes at him and said, "Answer my question now!"
"Do you understand? As classmates, you should understand better than me."
"I'm asking you!"
Kamuro's tone was impatient.
"A fun-loving person."
Hikigaya said without hesitation.
Kamuro frowned: "What do you mean?"
"As the name suggests, she will do anything that makes her feel fun."
Hikigaya smiled wryly and said, "To use the current internet term, it's joy! You can never guess what she's going to do next!"
As long as you are happy, it doesn’t matter if things get messy!
Of course, these are just the surface that Hikigaya sees, but this should be enough to deal with Kamuro. However, Kamuro's words made Hikigaya vaguely aware of something strange. Is Haruno planning to take action in this exam?
An undercurrent in the atmosphere immediately made Hikigaya alert.
Others may not know this, but he knows too well the destructive power of the great devil Yang Nai!
205
Chapter 205: Undercurrent in Class A.
"A fun person?"
Kamuro's face looked rather strange. Yukinoshita Haruno, the entertainer mentioned by Hikigaya, was very popular and sought after in the class, no, even in the grade. She was very skilled in getting along with others. Almost every student who came into contact with her couldn't help but have a good impression of her, and felt a sense of comfort as if she were basking in the spring breeze.
At the same time, Haruno is not the traditional gentle, cheerful and sunny girl. Her style is completely different from Ichinose. Haruno's style of doing things rarely feels "gentle". On the contrary, many people feel that Haruno is very "lively, even naughty". She can get close to strangers and become friends with them in just a few words.
Although sometimes people feel that Yang No is a bit "strong" and even "unreasonable", surprisingly, many people not only do not feel disgusted with her afterwards, but instead think that such Yang No is very "real".
Therefore, Yang Noi is very popular not only in the class, but also in the entire grade.
As such a popular character, Haruno's position in the class has become very important. Originally, at the beginning of the school year, only the Sakayanagi faction and the Katsuragi faction were fighting for power, and both sides wanted to win over someone like Haruno, but unfortunately the other side stated that they would not participate in the factional struggle and would remain neutral.
Logically speaking, this result is the most acceptable solution for Sakayanagi and Katsuragi, but they soon discovered that something was wrong.
Originally, there were only two factions in the class, and even students who didn't want to participate could only choose one of them. But now Yang Nai directly expressed neutrality, which in turn gave those students who didn't want to participate in the class conflict another choice.
If the beginning of the school year was a fierce battle between the Sakayanagi and Katsuragi factions, then now it is a three-way confrontation.
Although there were students who chose to remain neutral at the beginning, they were not many and could probably be counted on the handful of one hand.
It would be fine if they defected to the enemy, as long as they defeated the enemy, they could recruit students from their faction. But now, even though the Katsuragi faction suffered a crushing defeat in the last special exam on the uninhabited island, the students who were disappointed with Katsuragi did not choose to support the Sakayanagi faction, but instead chose to remain neutral, that is, to join Haruno's army.
Gradually, both Katsuragi and Sakayanagi have discovered that the supporters of the currently 'neutral' Yukinoshita Haruno can no longer be underestimated.
There were only 40 students in a class, and after being divided into three groups, the number of students in the Sakayanagi and Katsuragi factions also decreased to varying degrees.
This time, Kamuro is in the Tora Group, and there are a total of 4 students in Class B including himself, 3 of whom are neutral. The content of this exam requires classmates to help each other, but until now, the other party has not taken the initiative to talk about the preferential treatment.
Of course, this is also related to Kamuro's own personality, and Kamuro's sixth sense is very sharp. She also vaguely sensed that there are undercurrents in the class now, and there are signs of impending storms.
Hikigaya naturally didn't know about the many problems Kamuro was facing now, but from the fact that Kamuro suddenly took the initiative to ask him about Haruno, he could tell one thing: Haruno should be taking action!
The one-hour discussion ended quickly, with no progress as before. However, when Hikigaya was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by a girl behind him.
"You're Hikigaya from Class D, right?"
A rather lazy voice came out. Hikigaya turned around and found that it was a student from Class B. If I remembered correctly, her name seemed to be Morishita Ai?
"Excuse me, what's the matter?"
Hikigaya quickly recalled the relevant information in his mind and found that this should be his first conversation with the other party.
The girl's voice was lazy and light. "It's like this. Yukinoshita-san asked me to pass on a message to you. We'll meet in room 10 on the second floor at 211 o'clock."
After saying that, the girl named Morishita Ai left. It seemed like she was just there to pass on the message?
Hikigaya looked at the time. It was 9 o'clock in the evening, so it wouldn't be too late to take a shower before going.
Although the rooms on the cruise ship are equipped with showers, since there are four people in one room, Hikigaya still prefers to go to the bathhouse on the cruise ship. There are many students like Hikigaya.
However, perhaps because the discussion meeting had just ended, there were no students in the bathhouse.
Hikigaya soaked comfortably in the water with a hot towel on his face. The heat made him feel instantly relaxed and comfortable. At the same time, Hikigaya's brain was rapidly reviewing everything from this exam to the group discussion that ended not long ago, especially the performance of each person in the group. At present, Hikigaya believed that the preferential treatment in Tora's group was most likely someone from Class A or Class B.
"It's a pity there's so little useful information."
Hikigaya sighed. It was not just that everyone in the group had their own thoughts, but more importantly, they were all particularly wary of him, whether it was Chihiro Shiranami's Class A or Kamuro's Class B, not to mention the people in Class C. They were like Little Red Riding Hood seeing the Big Bad Wolf, guarding themselves tightly and not wanting to reveal any flaws.
"It seems that Pochi Boy is very troubled by this exam?"
Suddenly, a voice came from the opposite side, and Hikigaya was shocked to find that there was a blond boy sitting opposite him!
"Kouenji? When did you get here?"
Even though Hikigaya had a towel covering his face, he still managed to notice someone entering the pool.
"Haha, I'm the first one to come here, Pochi Boy, you're the second."
Kouenji half-leaned on the edge of the pond with his arms open, like a king.
"Kouenji, what do you think of this exam?"
Hikigaya thought for a moment and spoke. He was a little curious about Koenji's opinion, and he might be able to get some useful information.
“Easy Job!”
Kouenji's tone was as arrogant and conceited as ever, but Hikigaya had no intention of looking down on him.
"So you already know the identities of the favored people in your group?"
"Sure, if you use your brain a little bit, you can easily find the flaws in this little trick the school plays."
Kouenji is very conceited, and his words also surprise Hikigaya a little.
If Kouenji wasn't lying, it meant that he had already discovered the identity of the benefactor, or that he had a suspect.
"Are you talking about off-site factors besides the group discussion?"
"It seems Pochi Boy and I were thinking of the same thing."
Kouenji's voice remained calm. "It's a shame the students in our group are so low quality. They can easily find the hidden Targe without using these things. This game is so boring."
Hikigaya was slightly surprised by Koenji's words. Does this mean that Koenji has already found out the identity of the favored person in their group?
However, when Hikigaya was about to continue asking, Koenji had already stood up and disappeared. He was truly a man who came and went like the wind.
206
Chapter 206 A bad thing.
Because of Koenji, Hikigaya no longer had the heart to continue taking a bath. He got up, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to a nearby vending machine to buy something to drink.
However, when Hikigaya had just walked out of the bathhouse, he heard a quarrel coming from not far ahead. Hikigaya walked closer and found that it was actually a group of girls.
"Have you guys made enough of this? I already clearly rejected you at the group discussion just now. And now you're trying to block me here? I'm going to call for help!"
Hikigaya could easily tell from the strong tone that it was Karuizawa's voice, but within this strength, he could also hear a lot of panic.
"It was you who bullied Lihua. I asked you to go apologize to her, but you actually threw my phone away. What's going on? Just now at the discussion meeting, you knew how to ask the boys for help, but now no one is there to help you!"
It was also a female voice that sounded very strong, and was even more intimidating than Karuizawa's.
Hikigaya also recognized the names of these girls. Except for Karuizawa, the rest were students of Class C. And from the conversation just now, he learned that they were all in the same group with Karuizawa. The list given by Kushida happened to include members of the Karuizawa group, which means they are Manabe Shiho, Yabunan Nanami, and Yamashita Saki.
It seems that Karuizawa had cut in line and bullied a girl named Rika Morofuji from Class C, so Manabe and the others went to Karuizawa and asked her to apologize in order to stand up for her.
Given Karuizawa's personality, he naturally wouldn't agree, and then the two sides had a conflict at the group discussion meeting, but he didn't expect that there would be such an incident of blocking people afterwards.
