Yaman was about to send an email to Mr. Chabashira.
Tell him that he was free now.
However.
"Beep!"
Just after sending the message, the other party quickly replied.
Specifically, the email sent by Haman was prompted to be read in 2 seconds.
But Chabashira's reply seemed a bit unkind.
[I have some things to deal with and don't have time for the time being. At 8 o'clock in the evening, you go to the rest seat near the artificial lake in the student dormitory. ]
It seems that he was pushed by the other party.
The other party is very busy and even has no time to pay attention to him.
However, if you observe carefully, you will find it terrible.
Because if the other party is really busy, he will not immediately read and reply to his message.
You should know that even work matters have priorities, so Chabashira's current performance conveys a sense of urgency.
This is terrifying.
Hachiman felt that his sixth sense was still good. When he found that Chabashira's expression changed from indifferent to the class to smart, he felt that he was being watched.
And now he can confirm that he was being watched.
Just through half a day of observation, you will find that you are in a bad situation in Class D.
From the situation of senior students in Class D, poverty and lack of living expenses may be the norm.
So.
Helping Chabashira to investigate classmates and make files, the cost-effectiveness of a file worth 200,000 suddenly became very high.
And speaking of huge points.
Hachiman clicked on the school forum and found that the post of the chess competition of the arrogant first-year student Arisu Sakayanagi was gone.
The seniors in Class D can only eat relief food, while some seniors can wear gold and silver.
The gap between heaven and earth.
So, maybe Arisu Sakayanagi from Class A has really collected a huge amount of points.
And thinking so.
"You will see hell soon!"
"Stupid!"
There was a commotion coming from the lower part of the first floor.
Yaman could see the scene on the first floor from the window on the second floor.
A tall boy with a red crew cut was being ridiculed by two senior boys.
And Hachiman remembered this tall boy.
This was a classmate.
When Hirata and Kushida were introducing themselves, this boy suddenly kicked the table and shouted, "Are you still little kids? You're actually introducing yourself."
But did he introduce himself when it was his turn?
He introduced himself.
He looked strong, but he seemed to be just a coward.
And Hachiman remembered that his name seemed to be Sudo Ken, and his specialty was playing basketball. He seemed to want to join the basketball club of this high school.
"Don't run!"
Sudo shouted loudly.
But the senior students had already left.
And he seemed to be in a bad mood, so he kicked down a plastic trash can on the side.
Then he left unhappily.
"..."
Hachiman continued to contact Mr. Chabashira.
"What's wrong with the rest seats near the artificial lake in the student dormitory?"
[There are no cameras there. It's one of the few places in the school where you can have a private meeting. ]by Chabashira.
Oh.
Cameras.
But this is a shopping mall.
And the place where Sudo was just now was naturally facing a camera.
So, Hachiman went downstairs and picked up the trash can that Sudo had kicked down.
...
Because the agreed time was eight o'clock in the evening, Hachiman chose to go shopping first.
He had no experience of staying away from home. If he had to say it, it was when he went to Chiba Village to take a nature course in elementary school.
But now, I need to stay in one place for a long time, and then stay for three years.
The hardware facilities in the dormitory are all available, so the things I need to buy are just some basic daily necessities.
Such as toiletries, toilet paper, pajamas, slippers, shower gel, shampoo, etc., the categories are diverse, not expensive but troublesome.
There is only one shopping center in the shopping street, but there are many similar to affordable supermarkets and convenience stores.
Hachiman went to one of them.
Because this supermarket can accumulate points, there is a points card after consumption, and it can be exchanged after a certain amount is accumulated.
It is really full of life.
Except that the payment is personal points instead of cash.
…
"So, it's time to set off."
Leaning on the chair, Hachiman looked at the alarm clock on the side.
The time is 19:15.
There is still 45 minutes before the 8 o'clock in the evening agreed by Chabashira teacher.
And the distance is not far, it is around the student dormitory, near the rest seat near the artificial lake.
Only one side of the dormitory faces the lake.
When Hachiman returned to the dormitory with his bags, he went there to take a look.
It takes less than 10 minutes to get there from the dormitory.
Very close.
And it is very spacious. Although it is close to the artificial lake, it is surrounded by fences and is very safe. You can feel the natural scenery.
It's just that the wind there is a bit strong.
So most people would not choose to go there, but it has become a suitable place to talk.
But.
Hachiman opened his phone.
GPS.
As long as you add each other as friends, you can directly locate each other through GPS.
And now, Hachiman found that Chabashira teacher's location is not far away.
Just in the northwest direction.
And that direction is Hachiman's destination.
In other words.
"..."
It's obviously 45 minutes before the agreed time, but... Chabashira teacher, you are already there.
...
Although he knew that the teacher was in a hurry, Hachiman didn't mean to keep him waiting.
He started to go downstairs and jogged over.
Then in 6 minutes, he arrived at the destination.
A woman in a professional OL outfit could be seen leaning against the guardrail, with her left hand raised, seemingly holding a lady's cigarette.
She was wearing high heels.
She had long black hair, but she tied it into a single ponytail with a blue hairband, looking very capable.
Perhaps the other party heard the footsteps, Chabashira turned around and seemed to smile.
This smile reminded people of a cunning fox, a little bitter.
Of course, this is not what a student should think.
"Teacher Chabashira is a little early." Hachiman said seriously.
"Didn't you come early?" Chabashira Sae asked back.
"...Hehe——" X2
Both of them seemed to laugh.
But it was an awkward laugh.
Both of them understood that it was actually a confrontation, and it was a very tense one.
Hachiman deliberately mentioned that the other party came early to show that the other party was in a hurry, and Chabashira also responded directly, saying that he came so early because he was eager to get the task she issued.
In other words, don't break up when people are in trouble.
"A day has passed." Chabashira didn't continue to practice Tai Chi, she said directly. "You should have some answers."
"..."Hachiman. "Yes, this school is indeed very different, and it seems to use class competition to motivate students."
"Oh?" Chabashira gently put down the cigarette, "What do you mean?"
"Today, I went to the teaching buildings of three grades with Kushida-san."
"And then I found that the configurations were the same, a bulletin board and a small blackboard. Except that there was no writing on the small blackboard for us first-year students, it was blank."
"The small blackboards for the second and third grades have numbers."
"The pattern is the same, they are divided into ABCD and then a string of numbers." Hachiman said.
"Yeah." Chabashira nodded calmly. "So?"
"I guess this is some kind of evaluation standard." Hachiman said. "It's the evaluation obtained from the school on a class-by-class basis."
"I've observed that the seniors in the second-year D class and the third-year C and D classes are living on assistance."
"So it matches this point."
"The evaluation they received is very weak, like the third-year D class only got 20 points."
"And the living expenses that these evaluations can get from the school must be very low." Hachiman said. "It's definitely not enough to spend."
Oh.
Chabashira nodded gently.
I see.
So... Class D really picked up a treasure this time.
"Good insight." Chabashira pressed the cigarette on the railing and said. "Then I've found the right person to entrust you with the task of investigating the classmates in the class and making a file."
"200,000 yen for one student."
"And you said that you and Kushida went to explore the teaching building together."
"Then you can choose her to make the file first." Chabashira said. "What is your evaluation of her?"
"Well..." Hachiman said. But he didn't raise his head.
"Is there something you can't tell me?" Chabashira said.
"No." Hachiman shook his head. "It's not good for me to evaluate her."
Oh?
Chabashira Sae blinked.
"Chabashira teacher, can you tell me first, is Kushida excellent in ordinary aspects such as study and sports?" Hachiman said.
"What do you mean?" Chabashira frowned.
"If Kushida is good in these aspects, and she also assisted Hirata in establishing a class group, and got the contact information of most of the classmates in a very short time."
"She also actively participated in the interaction among classmates." Hachiman said. "These are all excellent performances."
"But the better she performs... then I think she..."
"Maybe there is a big problem."
"This problem is so big that once her problem is exposed, all her excellent performances will disappear."
