Hearing Ibuki Mio's words.
Machida Koji narrowed his eyes, his heart a bit shocked.
From a bystander's perspective.
Ibuki Mio was persuaded by Hikigaya in just a few words.
Moreover.
Kushida Kikyo, who was very quiet yesterday, also seems a bit close to Hikigaya today.
Although he didn't know how it was done, there was no doubt that Hikigaya had gathered them around himself.
Pity.
Even if he persuaded Ibuki Mio, he still had to come and persuade him.
Machida Koji's heart became firm; he would not be so easily persuaded. He wanted to see how Hikigaya handles problems.
"Machida-kun, what about you?"
"As expected, I still want those 50,000 personal points."
"Is that so..."
Hikigaya nodded and observed the surroundings keenly.
Tokito Yuya frowned, clearly repulsed by Machida Koji's self-indulgent type, while Sotomura Hideo seemed a bit gloating.
After all.
As a member of Class D.
Seeing him make a fool of himself was probably more than happy.
What Machida Koji wanted was very simple.
He was just deliberately creating a rift, using the 50,000 personal points as an excuse.
There are quite a few ways to solve it.
The easiest.
Undoubtedly, it is to give him 50,000 personal points, but Hikigaya is certainly not willing to pay this money himself.
Asking the remaining 8 people.
To jointly pay this sum of personal points, that might lead to new problems.
There are many things.
That can only be seen from a leader's perspective.
Although the 8 people are now inclined to prioritize sightseeing, only Machida Koji prioritizes personal points.
But when it comes to personal points.
Then things might be a different story.
Tokito Yuya, Ibuki Mio, Kushida Kikyo, Sotomura Hideo.
Among these four.
How many would change their minds because of this?
Whether it is anger, resentment, competition, or pride, all kinds of emotions will affect the judgment of the parties involved.
Paying.
Is undoubtedly looking for trouble for oneself.
What's more.
Hikigaya is not made of clay either.
Machida Koji might have been arranged by Katsuragi, but this guy's handling method has problems; it feels like he has been intentionally causing trouble for the group.
In that case.
Hikigaya naturally would not be polite.
He would have to make Machida Koji pay some price.
"Then this matter can be discussed later."
Hikigaya set the problem aside for now, turned to look at Sakura Airi, and said: "You can say where you want to go first. Airi, where do you want to go most?"
There was no other way.
Hikigaya already knew his own influence.
As long as he spoke, it would more or less affect the judgment of Sakura Airi and the others, leaving Tokito Yuya and the others speechless.
Actually.
Even as loners.
Tokito Yuya and the others shouldn't be so silent.
It wasn't that they didn't want to speak.
But rather they simply couldn't speak.
Facing Hikigaya, who always controlled four votes, as long as they considered the collective even a little, knowing that even if they spoke it wouldn't help, they basically couldn't open their mouths.
"Eh? Anything is fine for me."
Sakura Airi said a bit shyly: "If I must choose one, it would be Shiroi Koibito Park."
"Yeah, I also agree to go to Koibito Park."
Kamuro Masumi also looked forward to it.
The implication.
Was that she could go anywhere with Hikigaya.
Hearing their words, Hikigaya was naturally happy.
However.
As a leader.
He couldn't ignore the thoughts of others. Hikigaya naturally also wanted to go to Shiroi Koibito Park and the museum.
Pity.
A leader's thoughts must be placed last, at least Hikigaya thought so.
Clearly.
Tokito Yuya nearby frowned, and Sotomura Hideo also looked a bit awkward but couldn't say much.
Although they didn't say much, they must have been dissatisfied in their hearts.
Shiroi Koibito Park.
Is clearly a place where only couples go.
Everyone is a single dog.
Bringing several beautiful girls to show off affection is already very repulsive, and now they have to be forced to go to Shiroi Koibito Park together.
How can one be so shameless?
"Better forget it."
Hikigaya pulled out his phone, opened a map app, and shook his head.
"That place is neither far nor near, and the points are mediocre at only four points. The cost-effectiveness is not high. Let's come back after we graduate, how about it?"
"Okay."
Although a bit disappointed, Sakura Airi still nodded.
Anyway, it would be the same to come back after graduation.
The purpose was only one.
To tell the people around him that I am a fair and rational person, and I will not use Sakura Airi and the others to hijack the group to do what I like.
Everyone can speak freely.
Discussion is meant to let people talk.
Otherwise.
Contradictions will only be continuously accumulated.
Seeing this.
Tokito Yuya and Sotomura Hideo couldn't help but sigh in relief. Who the hell wants to go to Koibito Park to be a third wheel.
Hikigaya also turned to look at the others.
"What about you guys? Is there anywhere you want to go?"
"If we prioritize ensuring the number of sightseeing spots, the Clock Tower, TV Tower, and Art Museum should all be visited. As for the rest, I'd like to go to the zoo."
Tokito Yuya said in a deep voice.
An extremely rational choice.
Ensure completion of the six closest attractions for tomorrow's free time first, then consider the places they want to visit.
"In that case, I'd rather go to the museum."
Kushida Kikyo looked at Hikigaya and said casually.
She had seen too many people.
With a literary type like Hikigaya, most would likely lean towards places like museums.
Simply NICE.
Originally, Hikigaya wanted to hint for Kamuro Masumi and the others to suggest it, but he didn't expect Kushida Kikyo would also mention the museum.
It was exactly what he wanted.
Anyway, with so many people around, it is easier for others to accept his needs if someone else says them for him.
"Hmm..."
Machida Koji still wore a smiling expression.
Even if the problem was postponed, what of it? He would continue to cause trouble.
"As for me, I'd like to go to Lake Utonai. Besides, it has eight points, which basically completes half of the school's requirement. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
True.
Indeed, there was no problem, it was just a bit too far.
"Hmm, what about the others?"
"I'd like to go to the Art Museum and the Shrine."
"I want to go to the aquarium more."
Tsue Hitomi and Kamuro Masumi also spoke of their preferences. Tsube Hitomi might have considered the distance factor and chose two closer ones.
Next.
Hikigaya then looked at Ibuki Mio and Sotomura Hideo.
"I'm fine with anything. If I have to choose, it's Mount Moiwa."
Ibuki Mio was somewhat indifferent.
Compared to these, she cared more about whether there were matching opponents.
Finally.
The gazes of several people landed on Sotomura Hideo.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Sotomura Hideo stammered and hesitated, not knowing whether he should speak.
However.
Except for Hikigaya, everyone in the group had spoken.
It shouldn't matter if he said it too, right?
Actually.
Sotomura Hideo also wanted to go to the Central Wholesale Market Outer Market more.
"I want to..."
Just as he was.
About to speak.
A burst of commotion broke out near the station platform, attracting everyone's attention.
