Hachiman’s Classroom of Strength’s Supremacy

Chapter 022 – Sakayanagi: “I’m Just a Weak Little Girl.” Hachiman: “? You Believe That?”

Class 1-A’s Sakayanagi Arisu.

Hachiman was still a new student and didn’t know many people, but this name—he had heard it plenty of times already.

On the first day of school, he discovered the school forum on his phone.

It was the fastest way to gather information about the school.

But there was someone even faster—Class 1-A’s Sakayanagi Arisu.

She had immediately posted, using chess as her weapon, and fired shots at the upperclassmen.

In the end, judging by the outcome, her classmates treated her like a queen, so she must have gotten a reward she was satisfied with.

As a Class A student, she had certainly proven herself outstanding.

She lived up to the reputation.

But still…

.

.

.

“I’m Hikigaya Hachiman. I don’t really have any aspirations, and if I were to like a girl, I’d prefer someone rich enough to support me.”

“But I’m not a lolicon,” Hachiman stated. “Because of my eyes, people tend to misunderstand, but back at Keyaki Mall, I didn’t mean to stare at you.”

Sakayanagi Arisu was visibly taken aback.

She probably hadn’t expected him to say it so bluntly.

But still…

“Lolicon, huh…”

“Well, my body frame is what it is, but that doesn’t mean I’d accept just any taste.” Sakayanagi smiled as she spoke.

So in short, she was not interested in him at all.

But… she didn’t deny being rich either, huh?

“Actually, that’s not why I called you here,” Sakayanagi continued. “I consider myself quite magnanimous—I wouldn’t hold a grudge just because someone stared at me.”

No.

The way you said that already makes you sound petty.

“But the reason I called you here today is to offer you a ticket to a worry-free life.”

Sakayanagi Arisu declared.

“Oh?”

Hachiman turned to look at her.

“You said it yourself just now, didn’t you? You want to live a life of being taken care of. Well, I can give you that,” she said.

“I’ve already taken in Kamuro-san. But only having one pet can make them feel lonely.”

“So I’ve decided to get another one.”

Oh.

So that’s how it is.

You’re straight-up admitting that your classmate is your pet, huh?

But don’t you think treating a classmate as a pet is a bit much?

You look like a delicate and cute weak little girl, but in reality, you’re just a genuine piece of trash?

“I give her 100,000 points every month,” Sakayanagi continued. “That’s a very generous offer, don’t you think?”

??

100,000 points?!

That’s half the reward Hachiman could get from Chabashira-sensei for investigating a single classmate.

And all he’d have to do is be Sakayanagi Arisu’s dog to get that much every month?

Hachiman turned his gaze toward Kamuro, the pet.

Kamuro Masumi had already secured herself a long-term meal ticket.

But…

“I never accepted it!” Kamuro immediately protested.

“So I want to keep her, but she hasn’t fully agreed yet,” Sakayanagi said in an unhurried tone.

“That’s never going to happen!” Kamuro shot back.

Her voice was firm, full of unyielding determination.

Maybe because she found the conversation too annoying, Kamuro didn’t follow them up to the rooftop. Instead, she turned around and headed back down the stairs.

She looked like she was mad, but…

Her footsteps were strange.

Her steps grew distant, then suddenly stopped.

It was as if she had paused somewhere instead of leaving completely.

Hachiman stepped back a few paces and caught sight of Kamuro’s long purple hair.

So she was just waiting at the fifth-floor stairway entrance.

If she was so determined, then why not just leave completely?

She really was a tsundere, huh?

A bit annoying, but also kind of cute.

Seeing this, Sakayanagi simply opened her hands slightly, wearing a helpless expression.

“Kamuro-san is quite adorable, but it’s going to take a while to tame her.”

No.

Just drop the whole ‘taming your classmates’ thing, please.

“If you’re planning to make me your pet,” Hachiman paused for a moment. “I don’t think I can do that.”

If you really want to refuse, why pause at all?

Sakayanagi internally scoffed at his hesitation.

“That was just my twisted sense of humor,” she said. “The correct term would be… sponsoring a spy.”

“Hikigaya-kun, I want you to be my informant in Class D.”

Huh?

Hachiman looked at the weak little silver-haired girl in front of him.

Yes.

She was frail, petite, and had snow-white skin.

But unfortunately, even though she was sitting, there was a cane beside her.

And right now, on the rooftop, there were two benches—one in the shade, one in the sunlight.

Sakayanagi was sitting on the shaded bench.

She had limited mobility.

She was physically weak.

These words etched themselves into his mind.

“As you can see, I am quite frail,” Sakayanagi Arisu said. “In the past, I couldn’t even attend school properly. Now that I have the chance to be here, I want to enjoy my school life.”

“That’s why I asked Kamuro-san to help me. I give her points, and she helps me do things I can’t,” Sakayanagi explained.

I see.

She chose Kamuro to compensate for her shortcomings.

She couldn’t move freely, but Kamuro was swift and athletic, almost like she’d been trained for this kind of work. Running errands suited her well.

This wasn’t anything unreasonable—it was mutually beneficial.

She got someone to run errands, and Kamuro got points in return.

So she wasn’t actually a bad person.

She just had a sharp tongue.

But.

These words…

Yeah, no. I don’t believe a damn thing.

Hachiman immediately rejected her on the spot.

Because—

She had just said that she wanted him to be a spy for Class D.

A spy. A spy.

That’s not something a frail little girl would casually say.
