Suzune felt that Hachiman might have done something that she didn't know about.
In fact, he really didn't do anything to Hirata.
Better to say. Just a coincidence.
Hirata was furious when he received exam announcement and skipped classes that afternoon.
This caused some students to worry, but a small number of people felt that this meant either Yamauchi or Hirata.
Withdrawal exam would be over and they would be safe.
Then also worry that each person can cast only three votes of criticism, so if get a lot of bad, for example 39 votes, then such people would have to send packing as well.
So, started to build a small team.
Don't vote against each other, or if do, give a praise!
These are all actions that can be seen.
Of course, these are things people with extremely bad relationships would worry about.
Hikigaya-kun doesn't need to worry, in fact, he doesn't even care about Hirata's fake prestige.
But, he met Hirata again.
That night, Hikigaya-kun, Sakayanagi, and Kamuro-san came back from the shopping district together and were preparing to go back to the dormitory.
But when passing by the green belt, he unexpectedly found Hirata, a famous classmate in Hachiman's class, sitting on a chair, daydreaming alone.
The first person to discover him was Kamuro-san.
It was Sakayanagi who reminded Hachiman, and he then discovered the place.
"You guys go back first," Hachiman said to them, and neither of girls refused.
Or rather, when they were about to reach the dormitory, generally two groups would deliberately go in at different times.
Because both Hikigaya-kun and Sakayanagi can be considered representatives of their respective classes.
In cruel class competition, it is possible to attack each other's objects and disrupt minds.
So although two sides usually eat together, still keep their distance in public.
Not to mention this is impossible, if you get attacked you will suffer a huge loss.
Hachiman noticed that some of his classmates also noticed Hirata.
However, these students just looked at once and left quickly, as if now only realising fact that he is a bomb!
The reason is predictable.
It should be because of the violence Hirata showed during day and his childish fantasy of class stability that they don't want to contact Hirata now.
Such is the power of Hirata's explosion.
Even the classmates who usually have a good relationship with him feel afraid to contact him.
Or maybe most people only see Hirata's perfect side.
It's simply impossible to imagine that someone like Hirata could be so irritable.
It's much more terrifying when an honest person suddenly becomes irritable than when someone is always rude.
So after seeing Hikigaya taking the initiative to walk towards Hirata, those classmates left instantly as if had been pardoned.
The last look, people gave to Hachiman was one that said something like "please"
Think about it for a moment.
"Hirata——"
Hachiman walked over there with his hands in his pockets.
"Hikigaya——"

Hirata looked very depressed.
It had only been ten hours since last saw each other, but he seemed completely drained of energy.
This is a manifestation of his being tortured by his own heart. Maybe he didn't have dinner either.
"I thought I could welcome the new year with everyone in class—" Hirata was darkened, he doesn't shine anymore, "but...why did it turn out like this? Once again, I am powerless. I can only watch this happen."
The "again" here probably refers to the fact that he did not help his friend when he was bullied in past.
He came to this school to atone his sins and to prevent himself from doing the same thing again.
But now, facing this dropout exam, he felt powerless as he was destined to be expelled.
It was like he had just stood by and watched again.
"Okay, can I entrust it to you?" Hirata suddenly raised his head and said, "I know that you and Horikita-san have played a great role in Class C getting to this point, but... I really want to entrust Class C to you—"
That's not a nice thing for you to say, to especially a guy like Hachiman who is dreaming to abandon this class!
It seemed like he had affirmed Hikigaya-kun, but it was more of a hopeful trust.
That is to say.
He now actually wants to drop out of school.
The current Hirata is sick.
From the time he entered school until now, he has been working hard to be the Hirata who can help others.
But just like Hachiman said in class, Hirata, stop being paranoid, you are being distorted.
He was left in the cold for ten hours.
In the end, he decided to drop out of school.
If this isn't pathological, what is?
From the time he ignored his friend, then watched get bullied and then suffered irreparable consequences, his heart is sick.
Or rather, Hikigaya-kun remembered something.
'That is, when I came into contact with Karuizawa, her weak and bullied side was discovered, and although she immediately obeyed, there was actually still a barrier in her heart.'
'There was a wound on her abdomen, the wound that caused her to fight back desperately and almost lose her life in the past.'
'Don't dare to mention or expose it at all. That was her past that she feared greatly.'
'It's a weakness. Perhaps Hirata's current actions are just deceiving himself.'
'He actually knew what he needed to do, but didn't choose, he didn't dare.'
"You should leave the school, Hirata."
"Leave...school...do you mean drop out..." Hirata's voice was not so strong.
He had just stated that he wanted to drop out and then handed over the class to Hachiman, so logically he should know that dropping out means leaving school.
But now, he is not so decisive.
Is it really like this?
Hachiman looked at Hirata's expression.
It was quickly confirmed there was something inside Hirata.
"You came here to redeem yourself, but I don't deny your efforts last semester and until now," Hachiman wanted to burn this pathogen alive, "But, Hirata, these are not what you want. Or rather, you have never dared to face it. You want to atone for your sins. You even did a lot of bad and good things for it."
Hirata kept quiet.
"But in reality, you were the one who just stood up and didn't provide help. So, don't you dare blame your sins on your friend."
"Ah..." This sentence made Hirata hold his head with both hands in pain.
Hachiman looked around and was thankful there was no one else here, otherwise people would think he was bullying Hirata or something weird like that.
He knows people here don't have normal functioning brains.
But Hirata showed it so obviously, it was indeed the case.
Hirata turned a blind eye to his friend being bullied, which eventually led to serious consequences.
He then regretted it and helped other vulnerable people with a savior-like attitude.
But the reality is... He has always regretted the past, but he doesn't have the courage to face his friends who didn't receive his help.
"I wanted to leave school to see my family during the holidays," Hachiman gave him an olive branch, "Then I was told that I needed to pay 500,000 points, and this was only for one day. You can buy anything in this school using points. So, you can choose to leave school temporarily, and Go meet your friend. You can make a choice you won't regret."
As he said this, Hachiman noticed his cell phone vibrating.
Received a text message.
He added special ringtones to the text messages sent to Kushida-chan and Ichinose.
This is a matter of course.
One of them might marry him right after graduation.
Then it is object of the future.
It must be treated with caution.
So using special ringtones for girls is a bit embarrassing for Hikigaya, but he feels they need to be singled out and treated specially.
But now, person who sent the message was not Kushida but Ichinose.
One only needs to take one look at Hachiman to know.
Since they were in same grade, so Ichinose also accepted the same explanation of rules from her homeroom teacher, even if she is a little bitch.
Then, quality of Ichinose's class is the enhanced third-year class A, but Ichinose can only be said to be the degraded Horikita brother.
But ideas of both sides should be the same.
That is to protect your companions.
So they will firmly implement the 20 million points to keep their companions.
They are also prepared for a rainy day, whether it is previous forest exams where they chose to cooperate to get money, and in just-concluded written exams where they arranged for top students to come and make money for tutoring.
It's all for purpose of gathering 20 million and using them when needed.
But their class evaluation scores are not very high.
Even if they save half of it every month, it still does not reach 20.
Hachiman glanced at the message from Ichinose.
[Hikigaya-kun, are you free tonight?]
???
'Got it, Ichinose must be here to borrow money. Now Hirata, he also needs it to leave school.....sigh...well, I did transmigrate here, so maybe I should do what an iseka'd guy should do....'
"500,000 points a day....We can go to the chairman. This should be unprecedented in history of the school, whose philosophy has always been to hope that students can expand mentally and respond flexibly, so this should be successful. That is to borrow money from the school to go outside."
"That is to say... Hikigaya-kun."
"Yeah, let's go outside the school and witness a change in view."
So, Hirata went to school and eventually got a promise because it was a novel idea to borrow money directly from the school.
The Acting Director, Mr. Tsukishiro, wrote him a note, saying that he knew his emotions were very unstable and hoped that Hirata could deal with his problems as soon as possible.
Showing humanistic care.
Hirata-kun is facing the side of his heart that he fears most, dares not to, and is most ashamed of.

Not long after Hachiman returned to the dormitory, he received a message from Hirata.
The school agreed, but he planned to go out tomorrow.
Hachiman stayed in the dormitory.
After waiting for a while, someone came over.
The other party was quite polite and rang the doorbell gently.
Opened the door.
"Hikigaya-kun, this is for you!" Ichinose handed him a small package.
???
Hachiman looked at what Ichinose handed over strangely.
It is a small packaged cake.
"I went out to eat with my friends tonight," Ichinose who knew how to please others, and make her request a success, you need to offer treats, "When I passed by the cake shop, I bought this."
'We're supposed to have this kind of in-class voting to drop out of school, but in the end you can still go and eat together to relax?'
"Um..." Ichinose seemed a little embarrassed, deceiving someone, more so when the other party is most likely to be her future husband, "You took good care of me before....I have difficulty making choices and often stand in a store for a long time, so..."
'In other words, is it to keep the past in mind and express gratitude in the present? Ichinose, did you come here specially to give me a gift?'
'Or rather, It's just a warm-up now, and you feel embarrassed to borrow money!' Hachiman was clearly aware how the world revolves around, especially now that he is dealing with girls, but he would probably lend it to her.
On the one hand, he and Ichinose had an agreement to get married after graduation, and on the other hand, the money Ichinose borrowed was by the entire class, and Hachiman also had an agreement to obtain 98 points from Ichinose's class every month.
There is no need to cause trouble with such a rule-abiding and kind class.
That's not all. Lend them money and they will surely pay it back.
So this is a timely help. There is no reason not to borrow.
After inviting her in, "Hik..." Ichinose seems to be about to ask.

"Hikigaya-kun," She seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, and played with her curls nervously.
"You can say it...." Hachiman nodded.
"Ah... um," But Ichinose seemed to be unable to speak, and finally, when Hachiman was about to pour her some water, she spoke, "What is your relationship with Sakayanagi-san?"
???
"....." Hachiman
'....Huh? Ichinose, there's something wrong with you.'
'I invited you in, and you were supposed to be here to borrow money, but you asked about my relationship with Sakayanagi?'
'Until Ichinose left that evening, she did not mention borrowing money.'
That makes people think.
This means 20 million gap in Ichinose's class has been filled.
'So who did this? I got robbed...?'
