After finishing his own business, Hachiman continued walking towards the store where Chairman Tsukishiro was hiding.
He chose McDonald's.
Some services on ship are free, so ordinary people can also choose with more cuisines, so there are indeed not many coming to this kind of shop.
"Hikigaya-kun, you are such a busy man," Tsukishiro, acting chairman, said when he noticed that Hachiman finally walked in.
He just thought that other party guessed that he wanted to borrow money and turned away.
"So, Acting Chairman Tsukishiro, why did you ask me out this time? . . . ?" Hikigaya-kun, on the other hand, seemed to get straight to the point.
"Since you asked me, I have to tell you. For example, you should know the reason why I asked you out, Hikigaya-kun. As acting chairman, although I have a lot of authority, I have to decide direction of the exam and selection of questions. But there are some restrictions. For example, the budget for each exam is placed in a range. So, like you said before that you want me to increase the score of each month's special exam, this will also cause some problems."
Tsukishiro seemed very polite.
"Acting Chairman Tsukishiro, if you want to put all the responsibility of insufficient budget on me, then I am not happy with your behaviour. Take that back. After all, points I got in this exam were all obtained in accordance with the rules."
Hachiman is already standing up from his seat with a non-chalant look, it made Tsukishiro feel helpless.
"Well, I just said it casually to show that I have fulfilled my promise with you before. But... now I need your help. I am just short of 50 million points. hehe~ My budget for this exam was actually only about 10 million, but in the end I paid more than 190. Then not only was budget for this exam canceled, but even special exam on the ship that I was going to arrange for first-year students, which was equivalent to giving money, was discarded. Not only that, but even 1st of next month, well, because this exam was for the whole grade, there will be no exam next month, but living expenses have all been spent."
"• •"
"Hikigaya-kun, don't be like this."
The 10 million yen budget he prepared was increased by 19 times. This is a situation that would make any chairman feel dizzy.
"....." Hikigaya-kun didn't feel any remorse. Better to say.
'Then Mr. Tsukishiro, you are really terrible. You actually set up such an exam and didn't think of the worst situation. In last year's preferential treatment exam, if all first-year students had chosen option 1, final result would not just be my 15 million and Sakayanagi's 20, but perhaps a maximum of 80 million could be gathered at the beginning. That actually goes beyond scope of ordinary exams. It's just that students in previous years could not perform so uniformly or obtain such high scores. We can't just blame Tsukishiro, aren't students in my grade actually a little bit more incredible?'
"You mean you want to borrow 50 million private points?"
"Yes. There should be another exam on the ship this time, but my budget cannot be that high. It will still need to be close to 10 million, after all, it will be conducted for three grades together. Then on 1st, students' living expenses also need to be deposited. The first grade is about 10, second grade is about 20 million, and 3rd grade is also 10.....So the total is 50. Ideally 60 million. And this amount is actually not that difficult for you, Hikigaya-kun"
Tsukishiro smiled like a pervert.
As chief examiner, he knew amount paid for this exam.
At the same time, know that so many students are betting on Koenji using prop cards. Isn't this a coincidence?
So there must be a behind-the-scenes story. That person is now sitting right in front of him.
Although Hikigaya-kun would definitely give some profit to those who assisted him in making such a big profit, he must have received more than 100 million.
This is the only thing Tsukishiro can confirm, he can easily take out 50 million.
"So, you want to borrow this 50 million from me, Hikigaya-kun?"
"Yes, you are the only one who can help me now." Tsukishiro's grin seemed to be widening.
"Then, I of course won't lend it."
"• ? •" Tsukishiro was puzzled, his lips curling a bit downwards in frown.
"First of all, I don't like borrowing or giving my money, and Mr. Tsukishiro. I'm not doubting your integrity. I'm asking you, if you and I were in each other's shoes, would you lend me?"
Of course not. Tsukishiro's heart responded almost instantly.
Because this money is like a piece of meat bun - it will never come back.
Because I borrowed money, and once I lent it out, how do I get it back?
What's happening here with Tsukishiro now is that budget has been spent.
No one paid for it
The next budget will not arrive until the middle of next month, but it cannot be used to repay the previous 50 million.
It is for future use. Maybe after paying for a series of exams, there will be some surplus, which can be used to repay debts.
But by then, Tsukishiro should not be the Acting chairman here, so he has no authority at all.
So to speak. This is a deal where you throw meat into a bag and hit the dog.
"Then I have no choice but to tell the truth," Tsukishiro knew that he was in the wrong, and he also knew that it would be difficult to cheat money from Hikigaya-kun, so he decided to be honest.
"Please let me get through this. I am mentally prepared to leave, but not this month. It will take until at least the next. Then I will resign as price of my performance."
'That means Chairman Sakayanagi will be back next month. Today, I unexpectedly learned that Sakayanagi's mother is no longer with us, and her father was taken away. Although she did not reveal any clear emotions, it would be better if he came back.....'
"....." Hachiman suddenly found his thoughts going in the direction to lift another girl's bad mood, and think regarding to solve her worries.
Mr. Tsukishiro is on White Room's side, but Hachiman actually has no good feelings towards him, and even has a bad impression of Ayanokoji's father.
Therefore, expelling this group of people can restore peace to school.
Plus…. Hachiman looked at Mr. Tsukishiro, a man who could admit when something happened and deal with it flexibly.
If he hadn't taken over, then Amasawa would not have been able to gain freedom from White Room so easily.
Better to say.
Amasawa is a genius and is valuable in White Room. If you really want to bring her out, the price you pay will definitely be higher, "You can actually solve this difficulty by yourself, Mr. Acting Chairman."
"So you want to lend me 50 million?" Tsukishiro's eyes immediately gained brightness and very warm to people's heart.
"No loan." But, Hachiman fused his bulb on the spot.
"....." Tsukishiro, "Then my 50 million..."
"Your 50 million?" It was now Hachiman's turn to look at this person with a huge frown, as if deliberately acting.
This look made Tsukishiro act even more pitiful.
"Increase revenue and reduce expenditure... Of course, first is no longer effective. So let's try increasing revenue first. You mean we need to get at least 50 million points, and get through this difficult time, right?"
".....Yes?"
"Then can you decide on some things which might violate the rules?"
"Hikigaya-kun, please don't do this....."
Tsukishiro almost cried on the spot, no longer hiding behind that fake warm smile.
"You represent the school, and expenditure is a budget, but there is also a plan to recycle points. On the one hand, points are given to students, and then after you spend, there will be some profit, but most stores are in a loss-making state, so this cannot be expected. However, in terms of punishment, school can recycle it immediately."
"What you mean is..." Tsukishiro already understood a little.
"The five students from 1st-year class D will take last place in this exam. They are all students with good academic ability, but feel that there is no hope in being assigned to Class D, so might as well take some money and leave. The price I offered to each of them was 2.5 million private points. The original plan was to exchange them for 2 million in cash when they returned to school. But now they are still on vacation on the ship. So they are still stranded here. I have given them the greatest opportunity to regret. 3 students brought half-item cards."
Understood. That means we can do something here.
That means each of these five students has 2.5 million, which totals 12.5 million.
They all chose to drop out of school voluntarily, and run away with the money.
There is still room for maneuver.
That is, to prevent from dropping out of school.
If they do not choose to drop out, school can legally collect the 150X3＋300X2= 10.5 million they currently have.
Well, this way there will be a budget for exams on ship.
Isn't this also a way?
"So what about remaining 40 million? Are there any other ways to generate revenue?" Acting Chairman looked very hopeful to earn more.
"....." Hachiman who is just a student helping his Chairman during the financial crisis.
Always a sense that something is very wrong.
"There is another way to allow the school to formally take away tens of millions of yen. What if there are students willing to skip classes at this time?"
Skipping classes?
Tsukishiro recalled that special rules of this school were also a reward mechanism for lower classes. As long as 20 million were collected, one could climb up from a very low class at the beginning, and it was best to jump at graduation.
"So, Hikigaya-kun, do you want to skip a class?" Tsukishiro obviously looked ahead with a smile on his face.
"I won't jump, but I have someone who might want to. But not now."
"....." Tsukishiro's mood turned very bad, realising he was being teased to death by this student!
