Chapter 015: Kamuro from Class A? Oh, I Remember Now, Just Sakayanagi's Little Puppy!
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka had no idea, but because of the current dejection of Horikita and Chabashira, he had originally possessed an opportunity to develop things as they went in the original story.
But now, for the time being, no one was paying him any attention.

On the other side, after going to the rooftop with Horikita-san, Hachiman went straight to have dinner. After all, it was a boarding system, so the cafeteria provided meals and he had points in hand; it was naturally easier to eat there.
However, considering his future career path as a house husband, he still needed to possess cooking skills.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be competitive.
So perhaps he really did need to go and learn.
Thus.
"You actually want to learn the recipe for Griddle-Cooked Crispy Fish? That's a bit strange, but it's not impossible. Since this is the first time we've encountered this, we also need to submit an application and then inform you of how many points you'll need to pay."
Hachiman went to the cafeteria window he had visited at noon, found the staff member inside, and proposed his desire to learn that specific dish.
According to the rules promulgated by the school, many things could indeed be bought with points, and wanting to learn a recipe fell within a reasonable scope.
However...
No one had ever done this before.
So the staff member was also stunned. Was someone really this studious? And learning to cook, at that!
But the faculty and staff side should be managed under the Chairman's system, so it had nothing to do with the Student Council. They had to apply to the Chairman.
Hachiman nodded in agreement and left his number, but the moment he tapped his phone, he noticed his account had a new transfer notification.
[Your private account has received 1,298,700 points. Sender: ST104566070 Ichinose Honami.]
There was also a memo attached to the transfer.
"Hikigaya-kun, I have already collected the points the Class B students were supposed to deliver to you this month. Since the special exams have already begun this month, everyone decided to go ahead and deliver this month's points to you as well."
Eh!
It was finished that quickly? Or rather, was Ichinose's efficiency really that high?
The figure of 1,298,700—not counting himself, that was divided by 39 people. Every student had submitted 33,300 points.
Hachiman looked at the transfer message from Ichinose, and then checked his own student ID information.
[Name: Hikigaya Hachiman Student ID: ST1045666068 Class: First-year Class B Gender: Male Private Account Points: 1,580,695 points.]
Hmm... adding the 200,000 points that Brother Horikita paid to help his weakling sister, the point balance in his account had reached 1.5 million.
Rather than letting Horikita Suzune's points be emptied and then filling the deficit himself, it seemed this Brother Horikita was a total "Siscon."
He didn't even let his sister experience poverty for a while to gain experience or a better memory of the lesson.
Well then, what if Hikigaya Komachi encountered such a situation?
As a brother, Hikigaya-kun would naturally also refuse to let Komachi fall into debt; in fact, the person who tricked Komachi out of her money would be the true villain.
But since the villain in front of the Horikita siblings was him, then it was fine.
However, his body swayed slightly.
"Sorry," Hachiman said.
He had just stepped on the girl queuing behind him.
"..." The girl whose foot was stepped on. Despite having her foot crushed, she didn't seem to care much.
Was it because she was broad-minded?
Hardly.
It was only because her attention had been captured by the boy's phone screen in front of her. Just now, a transfer notification had flashed across his screen... and then, as if wanting to confirm the points, he had opened his student ID.
The girl had intended to politely look away, as it was his privacy, after all; however, her consciousness reacted faster than her manners. With that one glimpse, she found she couldn't pull her gaze back.
Because, what did she see? 1.5 million private points!
In this school where everyone started with 100,000 points—and with special exams coming every month thereafter, meaning there was a high chance they wouldn't even have 100,000—this person actually had 1.5 million!
And...
He was in First-year Class B... Wait, Hikigaya Hachiman of First-year Class B?
Ah?
They were both freshmen, yet Class B had such a formidable student?
Was he pooling the points of the students in his class, or was it something else? Wasn't the class representative of Class B Ichinose? Had they suddenly changed leaders?
Although various conjectures flashed through her mind...
Caught! the girl thought.
Hachiman turned around and, seeing the girl hadn't responded, quickly tucked his phone away.
His eyes also sized up the girl in front of him.
She was quite tall with beautiful long purple hair, regular features, and top-tier beauty, but her face was expressionless. She looked as if she were uninterested in everything, as if she were slightly disgusted by the world.
She was significantly taller than Horikita Suzune, and her legs were long and powerful.
The corners of her mouth seemed to be slightly upturned, as if something good had happened.
'This girl looks so familiar. Oh no, it's not just "familiar"—isn't this Sakayanagi Arisu's little puppy, Kamuro... no, Kamuro Masumi!
I remember in the original story she has a kleptomania habit, and now she's looking all happy... she couldn't have just stolen something from someone, right!
Tch!'
Tch!
Tch!?
A swear word!
Kamuro's mood instantly soured.
She realized that while she had just been rejoicing over obtaining information on a "special" student from Class B, she had come to her senses only to find that she had been completely caught by the other party.
