There is something wrong with Hikigaya's classroom of supreme ability

"It seems that Princess is worrying too much. He's just so-so. At most, those dead fish eyes make a rather deep impression on people."

Only Sakayanagi, Hashimoto and others were left in the club activity room. As for Hikigaya, who had lost, he had already left.

Hashimoto raised his feet and placed them on the table, dangling the legs of his chair while looking at the white-haired girl.

"It's been over half a month since school started, so it's not surprising that someone in another class has 'discovered the truth about the school'. It's more like it was a matter of time. After all, any normal person would have noticed something was wrong with this school after such a long time. I heard that Class B has already noticed something, Class C is still organizing their 'World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament' and fighting every day, and Class D seems to have noticed nothing at all.

And maybe this guy named Hikigaya also learned about this incident accidentally from other channels, or he just happened to have the idea of 'earning more personal points'.

I'm very familiar with this kind of guy and have seen him many times. Just by smelling him, I can tell that he is full of the smell of "loneliness". He probably doesn't have many friends and voice in the class. Hasn't Kamuro's investigation in the past few days also confirmed that he is an outlier?

So, don't focus on this "creamy" character. We should focus on Katsuragi, because he is the one who poses the greatest threat to us."

Unfortunately, the "response from the princess" that Hashimoto expected did not appear. The white-haired girl was still sitting upright in front of the chessboard, thinking about something, while Guitou remained silent as usual.

As for why Kamuro, who always talks back at him, didn't say anything this time, eh... Hashimoto realized belatedly that there was no purple-haired girl in the activity room.

At this time, Sakayanagi slowly raised his head and looked at Hashimoto who was still chattering, and the latter immediately calmed down and shut up.

“Reading chess is like reading people. Sometimes your eyes can deceive you, but chess won’t.”

Sakayanagi's face didn't show any joy after winning. Instead, she looked calm. "There aren't many people who can earn the admiration of Yukinoshita-san. The ordinary person you just mentioned is exactly one of them."

Hashimoto, and even the statue-like Onitsuka subconsciously showed surprise when they heard this.

"Ha, haha, princess, stop joking. How could Yukinoshita really look down on that dead-eyed guy?" Hashimoto didn't believe it at all. He said firmly, "I think she's being treated like a toy, just like that heeled dog Totsuka next to Katsuragi. He's being toyed around like a toy and doesn't even realize it."

Sakayanagi didn't open her mouth to explain, but just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an unexpectedly deep smile, as if she had found something interesting.

......

"Hey, stop right there."

Just after coming out of the club activity building and before he had walked far, Hikigaya heard the voice of the purple-haired girl behind him. However, this voice did not stop Hikigaya's pace. Instead, it made the dead-eyed boy speed up his pace.

Are you kidding? We finally managed to escape, who would dare to stay any longer?

Kamuro widened his eyes when he saw this, and seemed not to have expected Hikigaya's behavior. He stomped his feet hard and hurriedly chased after him, then easily grabbed someone by the back of the collar and lifted him up like a kitten.

Four eyes facing each other.

"hello?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you pretending you didn't hear me?!"

Kamuro was almost laughing out of anger and glared at the other person fiercely: "Anyway, I have something to ask you!"

Is this the attitude to ask questions?

Hikigaya muttered to himself, but said, "Kami, Kamuro-san, please speak."

Kamuro Masumi stared at Hikigaya with sharp eyes. After a moment's silence, he spoke: "Have you seen me somewhere before?"

“…No, no!”

"Then why is there an inexplicable pause!"

"..."

Wait! Why are we getting closer? Hikigaya instinctively stepped back, and then the purple-haired girl on the opposite side pressed forward, her eyes fixed on Hikigaya.

"I ask again, have you seen me?"

"But, maybe? We might meet by chance every day when we go to and from school, right?" Hikigaya replied quickly.

In fact, the dormitory buildings for each grade are separate, and students of the same grade live in the same dormitory, with girls on the upper floor and boys on the lower floor. They also attend classes in the same teaching building. With a straight-line life between the two points, there is indeed a high probability of encountering each other.

"No, you are lying!" Kamuro said firmly.

"I've never seen you before!"

Seeing that Hikigaya still refused to admit it, Kamuro couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and at the same time he began to wonder if he had really made a mistake?

During this period, she accepted a task from Sakayanagi, tracking and investigating a student in Class D. The student was none other than the student with dead fish eyes in front of her. She believed that it would not be difficult at all, and she was confident that the other party would not discover any clues!

In fact, after almost a week of observation, the other party really didn't notice him. He stayed in the library all day like a fool. It was impossible for such a coward who not only had no friends but was excluded and isolated by other classmates and could only hide in the library to notice him!

But until recently... this student with dead eyes named Hikigaya met her for the 'first' time. At the moment their eyes met, Kamuro had a feeling of being 'seen through', and saw a hint of surprise and realization in his eyes. Although it was fleeting, she still captured it keenly!

This is a woman's sixth sense!

Does he know me?

impossible!

unless......

"Have you discovered me a long time ago..."

Kamuro frowned and stared into Hikigaya's eyes, trying to 'read' his thoughts.

Hikigaya finally understood why the purple-haired girl was so obsessed with him. He then thought about the relationship between everyone in the activity room and Sakayanagi, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "I've never seen you before!"

Then Hikigaya quickly added in a low voice: "I won't tell anyone about this."

really!

This guy had already figured out that he was following him?!

Kamuro suddenly felt his blood pressure soar. Being discovered by the other party was not the most annoying thing. The most annoying thing was the attitude of the dead-eyed student in front of him.

"Huh? Are you threatening me?"

"..."

Hikigaya's mouth dropped open, and it took him a moment to catch up with the other person's train of thought. He quickly explained, "You, you misunderstood."

Kamuro interrupted Hikigaya impatiently: "How did you find out that I was investigating you?!"

"Well... there weren't many students in the library at the beginning of the school year. Plus, I'm pretty sensitive to the attention I get from people around me. Any normal guy would notice a cute girl like you."

"You, you, what the hell are you talking about! Cute or something!" Kamuro suddenly became panicked, his face slightly red, and then he took several deep breaths before calming down.

Chapter 29: Do you want to threaten me?

Regarding this girl, Masumi Kamuro, Hikigaya actually discovered her on the second day in the library. He didn't take it seriously at first, but later he found out that he was being "followed"!

This was the first time in Hikigaya's life that he'd been stalked, and it was a rather tricky feeling because... usually he was the one who was mistaken for a stalker or a pervert.

So Hikigaya pretended to know nothing, out of a little vanity of his own, but also because he was afraid that he might have misunderstood the other person. After all, being mistaken for a stalker is a serious accusation, not to mention that the other person is a girl?

Hikigaya wasn't exaggerating; maybe he himself would become the stalker in the end.

So after seeing Kamuro in the activity room just now, Hikigaya couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. Unexpectedly, this small action aroused the other party's suspicion. As expected of a spy and tracker, he was really perceptive.

"Then can I leave now?" Hikigaya asked tentatively.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Hikigaya turned around and prepared to leave, but was stopped by the girl behind him just as he took a step.

"and many more!"

Kamuro Masumi stared at Hikigaya with a bad look on his face. "So you've noticed me early on, and you've been pretending not to know. And you did the same thing in the activity room just now. Is your purpose to make fun of me?"

Hikigaya: "......"

My dear aunt, please stop imagining things like that!

"If I had recognized you in the activity room just now, it would have been very troublesome, right?" Hikigaya ignored the purple-haired girl's stunned expression and continued helplessly, "I just don't want to cause trouble for myself or anyone else."

"Huh? You mean I was punished by Sakayanagi?" Kamuro Masumi was very angry about Hikigaya's unauthorized speculation and quickly retorted: "I, I'm not afraid of her!"

Hey, girl, don’t you feel that you are not confident when you say this?

"That's great."

Hikigaya's face showed a look of 'realization': "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Huh~ I can finally get rid of it... Before Hikigaya could breathe a sigh of relief, Kamuro Masumi's voice rang out again.

"Hey, wait."

He didn't know if it was Hikigaya's illusion, but he felt that the purple-haired girl's voice was no longer as strong and harsh as before.

"Did you lose to Sakayanagi on purpose just now?"

Hikigaya glanced at Kamishiro in confusion, not quite understanding his intentions.

"No, that Sakayanagi-san's Go skills are indeed very strong, at least at the entry-level professional level." Hikigaya said truthfully.

"Really?"

Kamuro Masumi frowned, as if doubting the truthfulness of Hikigaya's words.

After tracking and investigating Hikigaya for almost a week, Masumi Kamuro naturally knew very well what he had been doing in the library during this time.

She reported to Sakayanagi that 'the other party was reading and memorizing a large number of chess-related books and chess manuals in the library.'

Masumi Kamuro wasn't sure whether other people understood the power behind this short sentence, but she witnessed the whole process with her own eyes.

The boy in front of me, named Hikigaya, spent almost six hours, from the time school was out in the afternoon until the library closed, without wasting any time, and he devoted all his time to books.

She once secretly looked through the reading machine used by the other person. Densely packed book numbers and chess manuals filled page after page. A conservative estimate is that there must be hundreds of books, right?

She was once confused and curious, is it really useful to read in such a hasty manner?

She didn't know whether it was effective or not, but her drive and perseverance were enough to surpass most of the students in her class.

Regarding this "process", Kamuro Masumi did not report it to Sakayanagi, but only informed him of the result.

Masumi Kamuro silently watched Hikigaya's figure gradually disappear, so the final result is that no matter how hard you try, you still can't defeat a genius?

and many more!

That guy seemed to just admit that Sakayanagi's Go skills were great, right?

"Damn it!"

Kamuro Masumi only realized it belatedly, but the dead-eyed figure was nowhere to be seen, so she could only stamp her feet in annoyance.

......

"Do you think I'm stupid? I've been trapped in a room by someone, so of course I have to show weakness. That guy called Guitou is obviously a tough fighter. My little arms and legs are not enough to warm him up!"

After Hikigaya left the club activity building, he kept muttering to himself. Of course, the so-called showing weakness to the enemy was just Hikigaya's own tough talk. In a competition of real chess skills, he believed that he was no match for the white-haired girl.

"But this guy named Sakayanagi seems a little dangerous!"

Hikigaya smelled a scent similar to that of a certain great devil from this person named Arisu Sakayanagi!

It's better to avoid getting involved with this kind of guy, and... Hikigaya had a vague feeling that the other party wasn't really coming after him, but rather wanted to find something from him?

Drunkard’s intention is not to drink!

That can only be related to some big devil!

"What a complicated relationship!"

Hikigaya sighed. It seemed that the more he tried to avoid trouble, the more trouble would find him in various ways.

"It turns out that collecting personal points is too easy for someone with ulterior motives to notice."

"It's been almost three weeks since school started, and it's inevitable that the truth about this school has been discovered by other classes."

As I said, Hikigaya never thought that he was the smartest or most special one, and others were definitely not fools, so he had been mentally prepared for this a long time ago. From the girl named Itayana just now, Hikigaya also had a certain sense that "the other party already knew it". This is probably the sensitivity of the lone ranger.

"Is this the gap between Class A and Class D?" Hikigaya smiled bitterly.

Other classes have already started to explore the truth about the school, while looking at the group of people in his own class who are still enjoying themselves, Hikigaya only feels a deep sense of powerlessness.

Is there really value in having such a class?

However, this is not a problem that Hikigaya needs to consider. Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. For a guy like him who is at the bottom of the society, he should just be an invisible bug.

However, something happened next that broke the peace again.

Hikigaya finally received an interview notice from the student union. It has been almost three weeks since Hikigaya submitted his application. He originally thought that his application would fall on deaf ears and be thrown into the trash like waste paper, but unexpectedly, there is a ray of hope after all?

At the same time, just after receiving the interview notice in the previous second, the message from a big devil followed in the next second!

"Hikigaya-kun, do your best~"
