So have no choice but to take action again and borrow money from more people.
After doing this set of things consecutively, enough to make people realize how precious it is to collect these 20 million.
If you can make it together this time, what about next....
Force them to face reality.
Then Kanzaki-kun exploded.
Ichinose's class finally chose to transform.
We need unity and rationality.
This is also most suitable path that Hikigaya-kun can imagine for Ichinose's class.
But even if it transforms, will probably fail in the end.
As long as Sakayanagi's class doesn't make a big mistake, or put Sakayanagi in play to prevent her from operating, there is a high probability that her class will graduate as A.
So, Ichinose's class ended up losing.
But it is not without benefits.
Because if Ichinose can also work hard to get evaluation scores, then even if they cannot graduate from Class A in end, may even be other students who drop out.
But...After deviating from the concept of a student by a large margin, they can obtain more class evaluation scores.
Even those who ultimately fail to graduate with Class A.
However, generous personal points they can take away when they graduate, as well as experience of struggling to end in this school, coping with special exams, and experience of adapting to society in advance, will be their wealth for these little angels.
Hachiman suddenly realized that he seemed to understand meaning of what Manabu-nii said when he was a graduate.
"I promise you all. What you learn in this school will become the most valuable asset in your future life."
"Next year, or two years from now, the people who give speech will surely have a moment when they understand these words."
The experience here is indeed an asset in future life.
Hikigaya-kun is also a boy who has been to several girls' dormitories.
For example, Suzune's room and its furnishings are even more familiar to him than his own.
After all, he often goes there to eat or discuss things, so it is like a secret little base.
This is Hikigaya-kun's first time visiting Ichinose's dormitory.
There is a sense of freshness. It's like really entering a girls' area for a virgin, somehow a new world has opened!
These are definitely experiences that ordinary boys don't have.
Hachiman found that he seemed to be gradually deviating from category of ordinary boys.
So, Tokyo Metropolitan, Advanced Nurturing High School is a terrible, place...would even transform him into this kind of boy.
Even Ichinose seemed to notice that Hikigaya-kun was daydreaming and felt a little embarrassed, while she was snuggled into his arms like an unloved kitten.
"Well, you must find it boring." Ichinose said in an apologetic tone, and then buried her face in his shoulder.
She is already cute, and when she looks at you with such a sincere gaze, it makes your heart beat faster.
Although, he didn't deliberately show this expression.
But Hachiman felt that no one would be able to reject her in her current state.
"It's okay," Hachiman comfortably patted her little head, that made Ichinose's pupils narrowed in delight, "You just need to find me as a door that can't speak and can fully accept your emotions. Don't feel any psychological pressure. Because that's what Kushida-san does."
Meow?
Ichinose nodded. She had always thought that Hikigaya-kun was very different.
Not only did he have extremely sharp and even terrifying insight, but he was also very tolerant. 'But this just shows that Hikigaya-kun and Kikyo-chan really have a good relationship. He can make even a girl like her put down all masks in front of him. As for this place....'
Ichinose thought about message she received on ship, which was a message from school congratulating her on successful promotion to A.
Apparently, it was Hikigaya-kun who bought her the promotion spot.
According to what Hikigaya said this time, Chairman Tsukishiro was short of budget when they were on ship, so there was possibility of negotiation and bargaining.
Probably bought it while the price was cheap.
Even if it is for this reason, as someone who has signed an agreement with Hikigaya-kun and a marriage registration form, she will definitely be shaken after hearing this news.
She even wondered if Hikigaya-kun had already decided to choose her if their making love is anything to say by....
But Hikigaya-kun is still on good terms with Kushida-san.
'Maybe if he didn't choose Kik--Kushida-san but simply wanted to support her, although it would be a good thing for me, but still makes me feel like a big failure....!'
"What's wrong? You look absent-minded." Hikigaya-kun noticed her behavior, even though he didn't said anything but her curls now actually tickling him.
"No, nothing." Ichinose shook her head quickly, "It's just..."
She said a little unsurely, "Um, can you kiss me again?"
Do you want some contact?
"Uh, well, if you don't agree... It's okay this is also nice. Although, my body must be sweaty and all that liqu----"
"...No, I think it's okay."
Compared to Kushida-san, the kind of interaction that Ichinose needs now is what he considers normal.
For kind-hearted Ichinose, making the decision to abandon her companions was progress, but also cruel.
So it takes some strength.
Didn't Hachiman come here considering this point?
Kushida-chan is under a lot of pressure, and needs to be relieved frequently.
If Ichinose doesn't relieve her now, it will become a problem when she accumulates it in the future.
As for Hachiman's weekend time, Saturday morning was taken by Kushida-chan, and Sunday afternoon was taken by Amasawa.
But Ichinose never asked him for anything, and even often came to help with "cleaning"
So, Hikigaya-kun actually feels this is a bit unfair.
In this way, he stayed there for another half an hour.

Since Ichinose herself already had the idea of changing, Hachiman just listened to what she had to say.
Support her efforts in new directions.
So although it is regrettable to lose a companion now, not entirely without benefits.
Or rather, she was actually relieved.
During last year's Command Tower exam, Ichinose was very sad because a traitor appeared in her class, and she even went out to get caught in the rain.
However, Hachiman took her to the dormitory and made an appointment with her.
Hope to see her become stronger and more hardworking.
But now, Kanzaki-kun revealed himself to be the betrayer.
And it's not just a matter of being sentenced, but a hope that class will wake up, which means.. no bad mangoes inside.
This made Ichinose feel relieved.
There is a sense of comfort that everyone has been working hard and has not been betrayed.
There were students who dropped out of this exam, and may even be repeated next time as well.
Their class will treat exit exam more seriously and correctly.
Rather than policy of protecting everyone and not allowing anyone to drop out.
Because points consumed and opportunities missed are jaw-dropping.
Stop loss in time is best way.
So even though they started late, Ichinose's class also began to follow school's rules - strength first.
Regarding this matter, Hikigaya-kun actually gave a good evaluation.
It seems that Ichinose's class is short of people, and may even continue to be decreased.
But, putting away your fist is so that you can strike out better.
If Ichinose can do this, even though the hope is slim, may be able to challenge A again.
'Keep moving forward and work hard to get more points, Ichinose. It doesn't matter whether yours or Sakayanagi's is Class A. As long as someone from you guys is there and has a high class evaluation score, then my expectations will be met.'
Of course, it is also possible that class evaluation scores of Sakayanagi's, Ichinose's, and his own Ryuen will be very high.
But one who needs to worry at that time is Chairman Sakayanagi.
Because if all classes have high class evaluation scores, it means they are exceeding the budget every month.
Hachiman parted his lips for breathing some fresh air.
Noticing puffy red lips on the girl's face that seemed to be a little swelled up, and transparent liquid around her mouth, white dried substance on her cheeks.
Eyes a little misty.
It really feels good to...with a girl.
'Shaking hands with Kushida makes me feel comfortable, and kissing, doing things with Ichinose makes me feel excited, and as for being with Horikita, it is a calm sense of security....In other words, whether I'm with Horikita, Kushida, or Ichinose, my heartbeatwill speed up. It seems that I am just an ordinary high school student, the kind of person who will be attracted to anyone as long as person is pretty and cute, with low-level adolescent hormones.'
But Hikigaya-kun criticized himself profoundly, then took out his cell phone and checked the message from Sakayanagi.
He decided to go to work honestly.

Other side. Off campus.
"Congratulations, you can go back now."
Someone came to the apartment where Narumori Sakayanagi lived today.
Two bodyguards led way, and then a middle-aged man with a blank expression but a rather stern look walked in.
