"But what does this have to do with me?"
"You don't know?"
Hikigaya didn't understand why Kushida mentioned him. Although he was a member of the student council, he had no right to make any decisions in this dispute.
Kushida realized that Hikigaya didn't seem to be lying, and suddenly a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "Haha, it seems that this matter is quite interesting."
It was obvious that Kushida wanted to 'deal' with Hikigaya.
Hikigaya simply shook his head and asked Kushida to leave.
Seeing that Hikigaya was still not moving in, Kushida couldn't help but stamp his feet: "Alright, I'll let you off this time. Remember, you owe me a favor!"
Then, fearing Hikigaya might refuse, Kushida quickly spoke up: "Not long ago, Sudo ran into Ishizaki and the others downstairs in the dormitory. Ishizaki and the others left with a single sentence, 'Blame Hikigaya,' and then left."
Seeing Hikigaya frowning, looking unconvinced, Kushida continued, "This is true, so Sudo and Ayanokouji are planning to find clues from you!"
Hikigaya narrowed his eyes. If what Kushida said was true, then he underestimated Ryuuen. He originally thought that this was an action by Ryuuen against Sudo, but now it seems that Ryuuen has other intentions. His real target is himself.
Killing someone with a borrowed knife?
Want to use the students in Class D to cause trouble for yourself?
Moreover, this method is very clever and can circumvent the constraints of the contract.
It seems that Long Yuan has become a lot smarter since the last midterm exam.
Hikigaya looked up at the smiling girl across from him: "So, Kushida, what do you want to gain by revealing this news to me?"

Chapter 113 I have dignity!
"Wow, can't you just be kind? Hikigaya-kun, you're really being too harsh~"
Kushida returned to her usual gentle and lovely energetic girl image.
"So that's how it is. I misunderstood you."
Hikigaya looked as if he had suddenly realized something: "Thank you, you are such a good person."
"you!"
Kushida quickly took a deep breath. How come this guy with dead eyes always stepped on his minefield accurately? Normally, he could keep calm and perform flawlessly even when facing the Idiot Duo, but once he faced Hikigaya, not only were his emotions often provoked by the other party, but he also got angry easily, just like now!
"Hmph, I originally wasn't planning on telling you this, but then I thought, there's no way a guy like Sudo could do anything to you, so I might as well do you a favor."
Kushida folded his arms and said coldly.
Hikigaya was skeptical, but to be honest, Kushida's information was really timely.
Moreover, Hikigaya also discovered that Kushida was not as "useless" as he had imagined. He originally thought that this little angel who wore a mask and became friends with everyone was just a means to maintain her superficial persona. However, after several private "storytelling sessions", he slowly discovered that Kushida had unexpectedly collected a lot of people's "privacy", and many secrets of the class were in her hands.
This actually surprised Hikigaya. Perhaps he had made some mistakes in his previous judgment that Kushida was a "landmine girl". She was not an ordinary landmine girl, but a landmine girl who could cause a chain reaction.
"And now, the class points I finally earned last month are going to be deducted because of Sudo. I've been living frugally to get through these past two months, and even had to borrow money from those vampires in my class. The thought of this is really pissing me off!"
Kushida was also very angry about Sudo fighting!
In fact, May and June are the most difficult months for students in Class D. The class points being zero means there is no additional personal points income at all, and they can basically only survive by relying on the few remaining personal points and the free supplies provided by the school.
There were also many students who borrowed money from other classmates for help, just like Karuizawa did at the beginning. Hirata, the good guy in the class, and Kushida, who had the most friends, naturally became the targets of these students. For this reason, Hirata even borrowed money from senior students to help these classmates.
When Kushida saw Hirata's actions, he immediately had the urge to curse!
Damn it, you are roasting me on the fire!
So even though he clearly didn't have enough points, Kushida still had to lend out his points with an attitude of "It's okay, it's fine". He even had to borrow money from others and then lend the money to his classmates. Isn't this a complete loan scam!
Every time he thought of this, Kushida felt furious!
I can only say that it is very realistic. When you need to borrow money, the first person you think of is always "friends".
So after learning that Sudo was in trouble again, Kushida was 100% sure that the reason why no personal points were issued this morning was definitely related to this incident, and he could already foresee that a lot of class points would be deducted!
Kushida was very patient in not cursing on the spot, but he actually had the nerve to ask me to help him solve the problem?
When he thought of this, Kushida became irritated and his anger rose, just like the anger bar in a fighting game that instantly reached its limit, so he went straight to find Hikigaya.
Suddenly, the phone in Kushida's pocket vibrated. He opened it and found it was a transfer message for 50,000 personal points. He couldn't help but look up at the boy with dead eyes opposite him.
"Hey, what do you mean?"
Kushida was furious, and even she herself didn't understand why she was so angry.
"Eh? Didn't you just want a reward?"
Hikigaya scratched his head. Did he misunderstand? Otherwise, given his relationship with Kushida, the other party must have wanted him to be expelled immediately. Why would he help him?
So Hikigaya thought that Kushida actually wanted to use this information in exchange for something else.
Kushida's hands tightly grasped the phone. She wanted to throw the 50,000 points back and shout loudly, "Who are you looking down on?" But when she thought about having to endure another month of austerity and even having to reduce normal social activities, Kushida couldn't help but hesitate.
Moreover, when she was paying the bill at the coffee shop with other girls from the class, the other party "kindly" paid for her, and she had to pretend to "refuse, then accept very embarrassedly", and finally had to show an expression of "extremely touched". Even if Kushida has a high degree of tolerance, she still has shame and self-esteem!
Simply put, even little angels are short of money!
"Hmph! You know what's going on!"
Kushida suppressed his resentment and spoke in a stiff tone.
After receiving the reward, Kushida always felt uneasy in his heart, and then told Hikigaya in detail about the conversation between Sudo and Ayanokouji, including their future plans and the methods they had thought of.
After saying that, Kushida quickly stood up and left. She was afraid that the "weak" face she had just shown would be discovered by Hikigaya across from her.
After watching Kushida leave, Hikigaya walked to the balcony and looked out at the deep night, wondering what he was thinking.
……
However, plans cannot keep up with sudden changes. The next day at school, Chabashira-sensei announced in class about Sudo's fight with the students in Class C. He also told Sudo about the possible suspension and, most importantly, the deduction of class points for the students in Class D.
Mr. Chabashira at the podium maintained an indifferent expression from beginning to end, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
However, Hikigaya knew that Chabashira-sensei was so angry at Sudo, the "pig", that he was speechless. Moreover, Chabashira-sensei announced Sudo's fight incident to everyone, which seemed like he was eager to create chaos in the world. After all, once it was announced in the class, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among other students.
At first, many students were gloating over Sudo's punishment, but when they heard that class points would also be deducted, they immediately became furious and attacked Sudo. The class points that everyone had worked so hard to gain last month were deducted just because of Sudo. This was more infuriating than having all class points deducted at the beginning of the school year.
This is... their hope!
For a moment, Sudo was immediately met with dissatisfaction and attacks from Yukimura and others, and the classroom suddenly became noisy, just like when he was told the truth about the school.
I don't know if it was Hikigaya's illusion, but he always felt that the purpose of Chabashira-sensei's doing this was actually to subtly remind everyone of Sudo's suspension. However, after hearing that other classes had also reported this matter, Hikigaya thought that he might have been overthinking it.
Faced with the chaotic class, Mr. Chabashira on the stage didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it. He just looked at the students below coldly, not knowing what he was thinking.
hiss!
Hikigaya noticed that Chabashira-sensei's gaze was suddenly looking at him. For some reason, he felt like he was being stared at.
114
Chapter 114 The Ugly Duckling.
The quarrel in the class became more and more intense. The handsome and kind-hearted classmate Hirata appeared again and began to comfort everyone. He also asked Chabashira-sensei for details. Then Kushida also stood up and joined Hirata in "defending" Sudo.
At the same time, he called on everyone in the class to "work together and help classmates" to find witnesses at the time or evidence that can prove Sudo's innocence. Thanks to the efforts of the two most popular vote-getters in the class, many people restrained their anger, but it is hard to say whether they will take the initiative to help.
At this time, as the leader of the girls' group, Karuizawa also stood up and agreed.
In one of the episodes, when Kushida was defending Sudo, the first person to come out and add insult to injury was... Yamauchi. This guy directly expressed that he did not believe Sudo's words, thinking that it was a lie to shirk responsibility. He even said things like "Sudo liked to beat people when he was in junior high school, and he really enjoyed the ** when beating people."
Then, with Yamauchi's words as the fuse, the students in the class who were already dissatisfied with Sudo suddenly exploded, accusing and condemning Sudo's various bad deeds, such as grabbing the collar if you accidentally bumped into him while walking, cutting in line, etc., and it seemed like he was trying to force everyone to fall.
Fortunately, Hirata and Kushida have enough appeal and support, otherwise they would not be able to stabilize the situation.
All I can say is that when it comes to adding fuel to the fire, idiots are the best.
Hikigaya probably thought Kushida was already thinking about Yamauchi's family. What a bad teammate! No wonder after Sudo got into trouble, he went to Ayanokouji first instead of Yamauchi and Ike, the two people who usually stayed closest to him.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Hikigaya discovered that Sakura next to him seemed to be a little abnormal. The girl buried her head deeply in the table, and her body was shaking constantly!
Sakura's condition had improved a lot, at least it had rarely occurred in the past month, but why did it start to "flare up" again now?
Hikigaya tried to send a message on his cell phone, but there was no response at all and it showed as unread. Hikigaya could only scratch his head when he saw this.
After class, Hirata, Kushida and others took action and began to ask their familiar friends. Their approach was to hope to find witnesses to the fight, hoping to prove that it was the students of Class C who started the fight first, and that Sudo fought back in self-defense. However, this method seemed too stupid to Hikigaya.
The incident occurred in a special teaching building, a place that lacked surveillance cameras and usually had very few students. This clearly showed that Class C had already scouted the place in advance.
Secondly, finding a witness is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Even if there is a witness, why would the other party come forward to testify? In this school where class competition is the core, this is undoubtedly a difficult problem, and there is also the possibility that the witness may be a student in Class C.
Class C's plan against Sudo this time can be said to have taken advantage of both timing and location. Coupled with the negative consequences accumulated by Sudo himself, there is no doubt that even the people are on the other side.
And until now, Hirata and his team have prioritized finding witnesses and don't seem to realize the more serious problem.
For the next three days, Hirata, Kushida and others were running around the grade to report on Sudo's fight, and naturally, the news had spread throughout the grade.
What also surprised Hikigaya was that originally this was just a spontaneous action of Class D, but for some reason Class B also intervened to help?
Hikigaya learned from Kushida that after the leader of Class B, Ichinose, learned that Sudo was wrongly accused, she immediately offered to help. As Ichinose is very famous among the first-year students and has a wide network of contacts, her joining will naturally make things more efficient.
"Is this woman stupid? It's clearly none of her class's business, yet she's acting like she'll do her best to help the students in Class D. Wow, Ichinose is such a hypocrite! It makes me sick!"
After Kushida found Hikigaya, he kept complaining about him, and the words he heard most often were hypocrisy, fake good person, and setting up a persona.
"Why do I feel like you seem...very sour?"
Hikigaya looked strange.
"Huh? Me, I'm jealous? I'd envy that big-breasted, brainless woman. What a joke!"
Kushida was like a kitten with its fur standing on end, glaring at Hikigaya with bared fangs and claws.
Uh...it seems like you scolded yourself as well?
Kushida noticed Hikigaya's gaze, and then unconsciously remembered the two 'handprints' that night. His face suddenly darkened, and he quickly covered his chest: "What are you looking at! Pervert!"
"..."
With Ichinose's participation, the scope and efficiency of the search were indeed greatly improved, but the problem still existed... no witnesses were found at all.
Not long after Ichinose joined in to help, another person whom Hikigaya had not expected also joined in.
Yukinoshita Haruno!
"Kushida-san, you're so close to Yukinoshita-san from Class A, aren't you?"
"Kushida-chan is amazing. He even got the students from Class A to help him!"
Kushida listened to the praises from classmates around her with a smile on her face, but no one knew what she was thinking. Originally, she and Hirata were just planning to try their luck in Class A, but she didn't expect that after learning that "her good friend Kushida" was in trouble, Haruno immediately patted her chest and said that she would definitely help!
"Actually, Kikyo-chan and I have known each other for a long time. Her business is my business! We often hang out with other girls for coffee and chats. Of course, the content of high school girl conversations is top secret, so I can't tell anyone about it. Anyway, I will definitely do my best to help."
Facing everyone's doubts, Yang No smiled and hugged Kushida's arm affectionately and explained.
In fact, ever since the night of the 'handprint', Kushida has been deliberately avoiding contact with Haruno, but Haruno took the initiative to pester him, and he couldn't show disgust in public, so he could only accept it with a forced smile.
After the truth was revealed at school, Kushida was well aware of her disadvantages. The label of Class D was enough to affect too many things, so generally speaking, she would actively avoid contact with popular girls in the upper classes.
This is the case with Ichinose and Haruno. Both of them are very popular in their respective classes and have a very good reputation in other classes. They are better than themselves in terms of status, connections, abilities and grades.
What people fear most is comparison, so Kushida knows that she has no advantages at all compared to them, and can only develop in a roundabout way with other girls who are less valued or marginalized.
So this also brings a disadvantage. To put it in realistic terms, Kushida is simply "not in the mainstream" in the upper circle. Yes, the little angel Kushida, who is loved by everyone, has many friends, and is pursued by many boys, is actually just an ugly duckling who is not in the mainstream.
115
Chapter 115: The clever monkey.
Kushida is actually very clear about her current situation. She has become friends with many people, especially boys, by relying on her sweet and lovely appearance, as well as various little tricks to please people, such as acting coquettishly and cutely.
To use Hikigaya's words, Kushida is a girl who can completely integrate into the atmosphere of others no matter when and where. On the contrary, people like Ichinose, Haruno, etc. are the leaders of the atmosphere.
The difference between the two is clear at a glance.
On the other hand, Kushida is also very wary of Haruno. She knows very well that Hikigaya and Haruno have a close relationship. She was obviously avoiding her on purpose, but the other party took the initiative to come to her and claimed to the outside world that she was Yukinoshita Haruno's good friend.
At first, Kushida was extremely resistant, but gradually, she found that some of the girls in Class A who had previously ignored her began to show her kindness, and some even took the initiative to talk to her. It seemed that she had suddenly received a lot of attention and praise, which made her happy but also... silent.
Kushida naturally understood who was responsible for this sudden change.
