Hachiman’s Classroom of Strength’s Supremacy

Chapter 027: Everyone Is Shocked—Hikigaya-kun, You’re Actually a Lolicon!

Suddenly being invited to lunch together, Sakayanagi seemed a little puzzled.

“?”

“You can’t move around on your own, right?” Hachiman said. “You mentioned that your health is poor, so you’ve been using Kamuro as a walking stick. But now that I’ve sent Kamuro away…”

“Oh… I see.” Sakayanagi Arisu looked over. “Hikigaya-kun, are you trying to be raised by me? To be used by me?”

“Yeah, no thanks.” Hachiman replied. “You have a terrible personality. ‘Raising’ me would be a front—what you’d really do is toss me aside whenever you felt like it.”

“And besides, I’d probably end up being mistreated by you.” Hachiman added.

He knew that Sakayanagi was someone who held grudges over even the smallest things.

And this time, she had suffered a loss of information worth 2 million points from him.

Clearly, she had already made a mental note to get back at him.

So—

Voluntarily walking into the lion’s den? That’d be asking to be punished.

“Hehe…” Arisu suddenly revealed a sweet smile.

That was indeed the case.

If he had really offered to be her dog, of course, she would have given him points—but she would have also given him some special treatment along with it.

And once she had punished him properly, there wouldn’t be a need to continue giving him points, would there?

So really, Hikigaya was such an annoying person.

How dare he assume the worst of her?

“I never had the chance to experience school life before, so this time, I want to enjoy it properly.” Sakayanagi Arisu said.

Hachiman already knew this.

And, in a way, he had made her school life “less boring.”

“However.” Sakayanagi quickly added, “Hikigaya-kun has also taught me a lesson.”

“Even though my intelligence and decision-making abilities are strong, I still have to consider the possibility of running into someone who doesn’t play by the rules.”

“So the best course of action is to always have a backup plan.”

“From now on, I won’t just have Kamuro accompany me.” Sakayanagi said. “I’ll pick two more followers as well.”

…Really?

But if you do that, you’ll look incredibly pretentious.

Wherever you go, there will always be people following you.

Then again, since she was so frail that a light push could knock her over, it was understandable for her to be cautious.

Hachiman was still a kind person.

At the same time, he also became more wary of her.

Because she specifically said “pick two more followers.”

Which meant this rich and insufferable loli still saw people as tools.

—

And so, the two of them headed down from the rooftop.

According to Sakayanagi, if Kamuro had come to pick her up, she would have brought a parasol as well.

The path from the school building to the cafeteria was outdoors, and she definitely didn’t want her pale, snow-white skin to get tanned.

In other words—so many demands.

“Do you need me to help you down the stairs?” Hachiman asked.

“That won’t be necessary.” Sakayanagi replied. “Though my body is weak, I’m not that fragile. I’m still allowed to use a cane for basic movement, and keeping up a certain level of daily activity is good for me.”

“But unfortunately,” she sighed, “I’m just too slow.”

Even with her cane, she moved significantly slower than the average person.

“That’s just how it is.” Hachiman said. “Everyone has things they’re good at and things they’re not.”

“We still have plenty of time, so let’s just take it slow.”

With that, Hachiman walked ahead.

“Oh.”

Sakayanagi Arisu nodded.

“?”

Something about her attitude felt off.

“Nothing.” Sakayanagi said. “I just find it surprising that the ‘villainous’ Hikigaya-kun… actually has a kind side.”

Her body had been frail since childhood.

She had always been in a state where she inconvenienced others.

So, she tried to do as much as she could by herself.

Of course, when it came to having Kamuro as her subordinate, she had no intention of doing things on her own—after all, Kamuro was very useful.

So, anything that Kamuro could do quickly, she would leave to Kamuro.

This was simply playing to her strengths.

—

Even though Hachiman had just been praised as a good person, he chose to stay silent.

He still felt a bit of shame in front of Sakayanagi Arisu.

In that kind of half-isolated environment, his actions could indeed be considered good.

At the very least, he hadn’t turned a regular story into an R-rated one.

But in the end, the reality was—he had refused to pay the 2 million points, instead choosing to bully a weak-looking loli to obtain information from her.

Just thinking about it made him feel ashamed.

So, as that shame welled up, Hachiman chose not to respond to Sakayanagi’s words.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the fifth floor.

The sixth floor housed Class 1-B’s classrooms.

The fifth floor housed Class 1-A’s classrooms.

The way this school was arranged was so strange, but Hachiman had already given up trying to make sense of it.

Sakayanagi entered her classroom to retrieve her parasol.

After handing the parasol to Hachiman, she suddenly smiled.

“If I suddenly reported that my parasol was stolen right now, Hikigaya-kun, what kind of situation do you think you’d be in?”

…What kind of situation?

That would mean being falsely accused of theft.

Given the timing and the location—right outside Class A’s classroom—there would be no way for him to clear his name.

Especially now that his fingerprints were already on the parasol.

Even if he explained everything, people might still gossip about it, and for the next three years, he could be branded as a suspected thief.

So, in short—

What the hell are you even saying?

Please don’t!

Feeling like too much time had already been wasted, the two continued heading downstairs.

To prevent Sakayanagi from saying anything more terrifying, Hachiman opened the parasol and held it over her.

“The weather is really hot today.” Sakayanagi commented.

“…” Hachiman didn’t respond.

Because—

He was starting to feel uneasy.

At this point, some students had already finished lunch and were leaving the cafeteria.

So, he quickly tilted the parasol down a little, hoping to hide his face.

But—

It should be fine, right?

After all, it’s not like he was a celebrity or anything.

With that thought, the two headed to the cafeteria.

The cafeteria had food stalls, and there were a lot of people.

However, on the third floor, there were private rooms available for use.

Of course, if you wanted a better dining environment, you had to pay points.

“You’re really stingy.” Sakayanagi remarked.

Because whether it was ordering food or settling the bill, Hachiman insisted on splitting the cost equally.

Seriously—this guy.

At this rate, he was definitely going to be single forever.

And even if he somehow wasn’t single, the kind of person who would fall for him was probably some unlucky woman with terrible taste.

“Speaking of which, what’s your ideal future?” Sakayanagi asked.

“My ideal future?” Hachiman paused for a moment. “Probably being a stay-at-home husband. If I meet a rich woman willing to support me, I’d be fine handling housework. But now that I think about it, if I perform well at this school and save up enough points…”

“…It seems like even if I don’t meet a rich woman, I’ll still be fine.” Hachiman concluded.

“Hmm~”

Sakayanagi nodded thoughtfully.

Alright then.

She made a mental note—

If she ever got the chance in the future, she would make sure that his future wife forced him to go to work every single day.
