"So I'm curious about what Sakayanagi-san is doing. How can I better gain everyone's trust? Could you share some information with me?"
"Haha, the answer to this question is actually very simple." Sakayanagi Arisu said calmly, "My method doesn't have any tricks. I simply help my classmates. After they receive my help, they may vote for me."
"I see. So, everyone in your class likes to help others, whether it's Sakayanagi-san or Kamuro-san."
Hashima Hikaru pretended to be enlightened, and after a quick glance at Kamuro standing behind Sakayanagi, he replied with a smile, "Then I understand. I will work harder to help my classmates."
"Okay, I've answered all my questions. Hashima-san, can you tell me the answer to that question now?"
"can."
After a pause, the young man explained, "We're lucky. Two of our classmates passed the student union assessment."
"...Is that so?"
Sakayanagi nodded slightly, and where Hikaru Hashima couldn't see, she gently touched the cane she carried with her, a light of curiosity flashing in her purple eyes.
Chapter 129: Sakayanagi Arisu's stock goes online
In the pleasant atmosphere of the cafe, Hashima Hikaru looked at Sakayanagi Arisu, who became quiet after he gave the answer, but his thoughts did not stop.
The information I got from Horikita Manabu is that Sakayanagi's application to join the student council was approved by Nanyun Masaru. Is there any connection between these two people?
Or is it just a coincidence?
Hikaru Hashima really wanted to know the answer to this question, so he pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Is Sakayanagi-san interested in the student council?"
"I'm interested. Just as Hashima-san said, I like helping others. If I could join the student council, I might be able to help more students."
"I see. Sakayanagi-san really makes me ashamed. I don't have such an idea. I only want to act for myself." The boy touched his hair and looked embarrassed.
"Isn't Hashima-san one of the two people who passed?"
After hearing what the other party meant, Sakayanagi couldn't help but feel a little confused.
When she went to submit her application, she heard the boy's name from the vice-president. In addition, the vice-president acted extremely confident and vowed that Hashima Hikaru would definitely report to the student union, so Sakayanagi remembered this information.
Of course, Sakayanagi joined the student union not to help her classmates. It can be said that she never cared about the students in this school, not even her supporters in her own class.
However, after meeting Hikaru Hashima on the first day of school, Arisu Sakayanagi became interested in him.
This feeling of curiosity is very rare for a girl, so she later agreed to Ichinose Honami's request to meet and took the initiative to inquire about the other party's information.
Later, she sent her "right-hand man" Kamuro to secretly follow the other party to collect intelligence, and today she took the initiative to ask him to meet in order to test Hashima Hikaru's true thoughts.
But he didn't join the student union?
Why? Did it fail the review?
Sakayanagi had a few questions in his mind. If Hashima Hikaru didn't pass, then the two places would belong to the two girls traveling with him.
In terms of personal ability, she didn't believe that the person in front of her would lose to them.
After the last conversation with Ichinose, Arisu Sakayanagi had a deeper understanding of the pink-haired girl's abilities. If they were to compare personal qualities, she would definitely not be able to compare to Hikaru Hashima.
And from Ichinose Honami's expression, it can be seen that the leader of Class A is obviously very dependent on him. In this case, how can he beat him in the student council review?
It has to be said that Arisu Sakayanagi felt even more curious, so she took the initiative to ask this question.
"Yes, I didn't join the student union, but the two classmates who accompanied me successfully joined. Sakayanagi will probably see their names in a few days." Hashima Hikaru smiled lightly, looking very calm.
"Is that so? That's really impressive, my classmates."
Sakayanagi Arisu nodded and praised, "Even someone as capable as Hashima-san couldn't pass it, but others were able to do it. It seems that there are many outstanding people in Class A."
Hearing this, Hashima Hikaru looked closely at Sakayanagi's expression. Although she did show an expression of admiration, there was no trace of surprise in her purple eyes, and she didn't even want to pretend.
"Maybe so. After all, everyone has their potential to explode, and there are many such cases."
Hashima Hikaru didn't intend to tell Sakayanagi that she had not applied to join the student council. The answer would naturally be revealed when she started working in the student council.
What will happen to her then?
Kind of looking forward to it.
After the question-and-answer session ended, Hashima Hikaru and Sakayanagi Arisu tacitly avoided the topic of class competition and started chatting about other things, such as movies or popular things.
Sakayanagi has a wide range of knowledge. Although her interests and hobbies are different from other girls, it doesn't mean that she doesn't know these things.
As the relationship between Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose became closer and closer, she learned from her many topics that girls would discuss, which came in handy at this time.
Although they both knew that this was just to maintain a respectable atmosphere, being able to talk smoothly without any interruptions made Hashima Hikaru and Sakayanagi feel relaxed.
The conversation lasted for about half an hour. After the coffee in the cup had completely cooled down, the two began to prepare to say goodbye.
"I had a great time chatting with Hashima-san today. Time flew by so quickly, it's amazing." Sakayanagi stood up from her seat, a gentle smile still on her face.
"Yeah, I also find it very enjoyable to chat with Sakayanagi-san." Hashima Hikaru smiled, also showing a feeling of wanting more.
"That's all for today, I'll be leaving now, Hashima-san."
Sakayanagi gripped her cane tightly to support herself, and after giving a slight nod to Hashima Hikaru, she prepared to turn and leave.
"Well, see you later, Sakayanagi-san."
But at this moment, Sakayanagi turned around and asked Hashima Hikaru, "Actually, Hashima-san hasn't submitted an application to join the student council, right?"
"Why do you think so, Sakayanagi-san?"
The smile on Hashima Hikaru's face remained unchanged, but she was shocked in her heart. Could it be that she still had spies in the student union?
"It's intuition, a girl's intuition."
A stunning smile appeared on Sakayanagi's face, and she slowly said, "Judging from Hashima-san's expression, I think I guessed right."
"I really can't hide it from Sakayanagi-san. Yes, I didn't submit an application." Hashima Hikaru shrugged helplessly, "Because I'm not interested in joining the student council."
"Well, I understand your attitude. See you next time, Hashima-san."
After confirming her guess, Arisu Sakayanagi became more and more curious about Hikari Hashima. She didn't know why Hikari Hashima wanted to bring her classmates to apply for the student union.
If the goal is to seize power in the student union, wouldn't it be more reliable to do it personally?
And all the classmates I brought with me passed the review.
Is this a coincidence, or are there other deeper reasons?
What an incredible person.
Sakayanagi pursed her lips and decided to let Kamuro Masumi continue to follow him and find out what he really wanted to do.
As he watched the slender figure of the silver-haired girl walking away, Mitsuru Hashima restrained the smile on his face and his eyes became much colder.
As expected of someone who could enter Class A despite his physical condition, both the pieced-together answers and the so-called intuitive guesses surprised Hashima Hikaru.
Just as the boy was lost in thought, he saw a new message pop up on the system bar.
[Ding! Sakayanagi Arisu's stock is now online!]
Current stock price: 20
[Number of shares issued: 2000]
"..."
No, if you were going to list this guy’s stocks online, why was there no movement when we first met?
Could it be a system delay?
Chapter 130: Hashima: Horikita-san, you don’t want to...
After Sakayanagi and Kamuro Masumi disappeared from his sight, Hashima Hikaru silently glanced at the prompt that just popped up in the system bar, then walked out of the cafe and returned to his dormitory.
After taking a shower, Mitsuru Hashima sat at his desk and began to review what had happened today. This has always been his habit. Sorting out the course of various events from the beginning allows the boy to find more angles to think about.
First, he met Nan Yunya in the student union. The other party extended an olive branch to him for the second time, but Hashima Hikaru did not waver at all on this point. He had already exaggerated this guy's "evil deeds" to his classmates, so naturally he would not consider joining him.
If you want to take control of the student union, you might as well continue to take advantage of Horikita Manabu.
Although the student council president is cold, after developing a unique connection with him because of Horikita Suzune, Hashima Hikaru feels that he can get closer to him. Even if the boy has no plans to become a student council cadre at the moment, who can predict what will happen in the future? Maybe he will change his mind at that time.
There was also news from Horikita Manabu that Sakayanagi had joined the student council. Since this girl, who was currently competing with Katsuragi Kōhei for control of the class, had joined the student council, it meant that she had gained some advantages and might put more pressure on the Katsuragi faction.
Today's conversation actually made Hashima Hikaru a little concerned, because Sakayanagi showed some strange attitudes during the fake chat.
No matter what, Class A and her Class B should be in a completely hostile relationship. When the gap between them is not that big, they need to keep a distance from each other.
But until the end of today's conversation, Hashima Hikaru didn't feel any aggression from the silver-haired girl, which was completely different from how she was when she confronted Katsuragi on the first day of school.
I was clearly the "enemy", but her attitude was inexplicably proactive.
There might be other reasons behind this. And how did she know that I was taking people to the student council today? The route chosen by Hashima Hikaru would definitely not pass by Class B's classroom.
"Well, all in all, this Sakayanagi-san gives people a very subtle feeling. You must always be vigilant when interacting with her." Hashima Hikaru tapped the table lightly with his index finger, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He glanced at the new stock that had just been launched in the system's [Stock Interface]. Although Sakayanagi's initial share price was low, the number of shares issued was not large, only 2000 shares, so the total profit would not appear to be too great.
Hikaru Hashima currently holds quite a number of stocks, and most of them are high-quality stocks that have nothing to do with class competition, which is the most suitable for him.
As for Arisu Sakayanagi, before using the [Stock Analyzer], he couldn't tell what the rise and fall of Sakayanagi's stock price was related to.
"Let's see next time we meet. If it has anything to do with class competition, then let's just put it aside."
Ever since he started to practice time management, Hikaru Hashima has long been accustomed to wearing a mask when facing these girls. On the one hand, it was to increase the stock price to earn system funds, and on the other hand, he did not want the other party to detect his true emotions.
Kushida Kikyo probably noticed this that day, but she was just bluffing and did not dig deeper. Later, Hashima Hikari completely took control of the situation and led her all the way to the final transaction.
The young man sighed softly. After Ichinose Honami's passionate confession, he felt that his mentality seemed to have changed a little.
We are all living people, not game characters that will automatically unlock beautiful CGs just by completing the walkthrough.
In the process of multi-line operation, the girls' ideas may change at any time, which is completely unpredictable. He is not a mind-reading expert. Everything can only rely on guidance and communication to achieve a more harmonious interaction.
"Forget it, I won't worry about it anymore. Let's just take it one step at a time," Hashima Hikaru rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, "As long as there's no substantial change in the relationship, the initiative is still mine."
After suppressing the complicated thoughts that emerged in his mind, the boy ended his review and thinking for today.
Now, under his arrangement, two students in the class have entered the student union. Although it is not a unique first move, it at least has a certain numerical advantage. In the subsequent class planning arrangements, whether this will become the deciding factor depends on how it is handled.
At this moment, the boy's cell phone suddenly rang. It was a reminder that someone had sent a text message.
Kushida Kikyo: Hashima-san, are you free now?
After seeing the sender's name, the boy smiled slightly and immediately typed a reply.
Hashima Hikaru: I'm free. Is there anything I can help you with, Kushida-san?
The short-haired girl sitting on her bed at this moment saw the other party's reply, and a cold look flashed in her eyes.
Because today she saw that the usually indifferent Horikita Suzune actually agreed to the request of the girls in her class and participated in their group study session. This was beyond Kushida's expectations, so he immediately thought of his partner and wanted him to take action immediately.
Kushida Kikyo: What else could it be? Have you forgotten what we agreed to?
Hashima Hikaru: Of course I won’t forget, but I’ve been too busy recently, so I haven’t found a suitable opportunity to ask Horikita out. Have you seen her chatting with anyone in class?
Kushida Kikyo: Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to you on my own initiative.
The short-haired girl typed a long paragraph in detail to explain her discovery today, and then continued typing.
Kushida Kikyo: May I ask, busy man Hashima-san, when will you be free? Could you help me find out about the other party's situation?
Hashima Hikaru: Please rest assured, Kushida-san, I will be free tomorrow.
Kushida Kikyo: Then please act quickly. I want to know what that woman Horikita talked about with the girls in our class. Can you get this information?
Hashima Hikaru: I'll try my best. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news.
Kushida Kikyo: Okay, I'll wait for your news.
After typing the last paragraph, the short-haired girl stared blankly at the phone interface. Although she has always been a very active person in the class, Kushida actually prefers a quiet atmosphere when she is alone.
Kushida was well aware that he had been manipulated by Hashima Hikaru throughout the transaction that day.
However, she had no intention of making it clear. Instead, she actively cooperated with the boy's ideas to promote the completion of the deal.
Hashima Hikaru's outstanding abilities and the fact that he can earn Horikita's trust indicate that he is a very suitable candidate.
Kushida had long since erased the misunderstanding that the other party was pretending to like her, but as a sensitive girl, she could sense another thing - this guy definitely wanted something from her.
From the initial "handprint" incident to the subsequent proactive conversation and the evolution to the formation of a transaction, during this process, Kikyo Kushida clearly remembered that she had exposed almost all of her true state and emotions to the other party.
But Hashima Hikaru's reaction was quite strange. Not only did he not show the slightest sign of wavering, but he took the initiative to propose various solutions to the problem. Although most of them were lies, Kushida did not feel any disgust or impatience from him.
This discovery has always lingered in the girl's mind, but the other party's true intentions have never been made clear. Kushida doesn't believe that he simply wants to help, and must want to get something from her.
