Chie is soft and cute.
Hachiman just doesn't know if she really thinks so, or if she is unhappy because during previous cultural festival, the teachers who usually bootlick her think that Chabashira is more suitable for marriage.
"So how about calling Ichinose over and playing cards together?"
It is not a good thing for a teacher to play with students.
"What do you want to do?" Chabashira recognized that Hoshinomiya seemed to be trying to do something immoral.
"That's annoying. I don't actually want to do anything. Sae-chan really has no sense of enjoyment. It's just a normal way to relax. If we play cards, students and two of us teachers will also form a team."

"....." Chabashira. 'If you're just playing cards, there doesn't seem to be much chance of causing trouble. Moreover, students and teachers will be separated....'
In this way, Hachiman witnessed her being fooled in a way similar to Horikita being trapped by Kushida.
Chabashira nodded her consent, "So what do you say?"
She looked at the boy.
If Hachiman refused, there would be no need for Hoshinomiya to call Ichinose over.
However, Chabashira herself was once a student of Class D. She was even able to climb to B.
Although she had the leadership role of a representative, she herself was not bad, otherwise would not have received school's recommendation letter and could return to teach.
Therefore, the person who recognized the little trick that Hoshinomiya wanted to use was probably Ichinose at most.
It's not that she doesn't understand the idea.
Hikigaya was in Class D, and Class D had climbed up before, but now he's with Ryuen, which has also risen in the past six months and is directly threatening Class B's position.
Therefore, if Hikigaya could be bought into Class B through some means, then for students in Class B, not only would there be one less opponent, but important combat power would also be gained.
Ichinose's class is flawed because Chabashira often hangs out with Hoshinomiya and occasionally you can hear her complain that everyone in Class B is a little angel.
Little angel, it means that atmosphere in class is very good and there is unity.
But this also has a fatal flaw.
Ichinose was chosen as representative, not because she was so outstanding in all aspects that she far surpassed other students.
Although she was not bad in these aspects, also had weaknesses, such as her physical fitness was not very good.
Girl was just chosen as representative because of her extroverted affinity who would look good as promotion material for standing unity.
Glue the class together.
This is where problem arises.
Ichinose's ability is suitable for supporting, not generals.
In other words. Class B lacks someone who can take charge decisively.
Then buying such pieces might be able to make up for this shortcoming.
But...how can a general be bought so easily? If you steal from another class, won't they work together to keep him? Won't the one who buys it not do the work and be a drag?
'So, Chie is arranging for Ichinose to come over to ease the atmosphere and cultivate relationship with Hikigaya....' Chabashira-sensei tend to make rational analyses.
But Hikigaya-kun is thinking emotionally here. Do you want Ichinose to come over?
"Me....?"
'Come to think of it, I haven't had a proper conversation with Ichinose during this school trip, I've been hanging out with Kushida quite often.'
He signed the marriage registration form with both of them at the same time, although there is no result yet.
But he also feels the need for equal treatment.
In this case, it seems a bit unfair to Ichinose that he has been traveling with Kushida for the past five days and even went out on a date with her today.
Hikigaya-kun nodded a little.
"Sigh...."

About five or six minutes later.
"Hoshinomiya-sensei..." The pretty figure of Ichinose has appeared at the door.
Wave~ Wave~
"Ah, Ichinose, you're here." It's none other than Chie who was shaking.
"..Eto...O O Hikigaya-kun is here...with teachers?" Ichinose seemed a little surprised, and was slightly out of breath, as if she was jogging over nervously.
"Why are you in such a hurry to come here....? There is no need right?"
"Hoshinomiya-sensei sent a message saying that there is something that needs to be notified, so I can running over..... Don't tell me, it's a spec---"
Chabashira then glared at Hoshinomiya. 'I feel like this girl is doing nothing right today....'
"Well, well." Hoshinomiya pretended to be stupid. Actually, she finds it a bit subtle.
Because she saw Hikigaya coming out alone, so woman seized opportunity and wanted to ask Ichinose out.
Increase the time these two people spend together.
Hoshinomiya hopes that Ichinose can trick Hikigaya into coming to Class B.
Even though Chabashira said that Hikigaya was no longer a student in her class, didn't she still treat him like her student?
Chie herself didn't see any attitude becoming colder. 'This means that if we snatch Hikigaya-kun away, we can still shake Sae-chan! Hehe~!'
So, Hoshinomiya decided to give Ichinose an assist.
It had just begun, and she, who was good at identifying the atmosphere, immediately discovered that when Ichinose jogged over just now, it was not Chabashira who spoke first, but Hikigaya who noticed Ichinose's condition first and asked about it.
'That is to say....Hikigaya-kun's concerns about Ichinose are genuine. That is to say. These two people...how come they got together before I even assisted? Eh!? Is Ichinose so awesome?'
Despite her behaviour of using honorifics as a teasing for boys, and not for girls, Hoshinomiya still explained to Ichinose about everyone playing cards together as she had said before.
Hikigaya-kun and Ichinose are in a group.
Chabashira and Hoshinomiya are a group.
Swap! Zwappl!
Thap!
"My turn."
The two sides fought. During the whole process, Chie sat quietly.
Even if you lose, you have to admit it.
This made Chabashira feel that other party was actually well-behaved.
Because other students entered the massage room, four of them slowly stopped playing cards.
"It seems that we can only go so far. What a bummer...Hikigaya-kun, if our class comes up with 20 million points and decides to buy you over next semester, are you willing to come?"
"O O?" Ichinose was still here making cards properly in the empty bundle.
"….." Hikigaya-kun.
( ˶°ㅁ°) !! Students from Class C passing by.
"If Hikigaya-kun is willing to come over..." At this time, Ichinose who is actually not stupid, understood why Hoshinomiya called her over.
'I'm here to persuade Hikigaya-kun to surrender. I heard that the students in Class A seemed to have invited Hikigaya-kun to join them during this school trip. In other words, students in Class A are also planning and even gathering points to prepare to buy people. Then I need to confirm Hikigaya-kun's attitude....!'
Although they could normally confirm it in private, Ichinose was now the class representative, so of course she had to confirm it in a proper setting.
Otherwise it would seem like she was using their relationship to shake up Hikigaya-kun.
This is not a good thing.
Ichinose can tell the difference clearly.
"I have no intention of changing classes for now. So, no more reply to this question now."
Hey, that's not fair!
After hearing what Hikigaya-kun said, students from Class C who were just passing by felt that they could continue passing by smoothly. 'Just because I now had a full meal, I'm going to be hungry again? I don't want to think about this.....'
xxxxx
Class D was also very cool before.
The result is that class has fallen so badly that students expired and it is falling apart.
So if Hikigaya goes to Class A, it will be terrible, and he will definitely join forces with Class A to put pressure on them.
If he went to Class B.
Does this mean that he should also bring Class B up? Class C has not yet reached A.
It is the only one among the four classes that has not yet reached A!
"I see." Ichinose nodded seriously.
She wasn't as reassured as the student from Class C who just passed by, because Hikigaya-kun's answer was that he wouldn't be transferred to another class for the time being.
Temporary. That is to say, there are ideas.
So, it should be true that you can buy him with money, but question is, when will he leave Class C?
From perspective of competition, the scores of special exams each month are very different, so if you buy the opponent too late, you will not get an advantage in the exam.
But if you want to buy him too early, he won't come.
Class B is too difficult.
"Okay, now that students are here, we teachers should not get in the way here, right Chie?"
Then Chabshira directly took Hoshinomiya without hearing her response and left.
But when she walked out the door, she glanced at Hikigaya, then quickly looked away and left.
"O ! o" Hachiman feels a little scared now, because what the hell is wrong with Horikita's here on school trip?
"Um—" After noticing that both teachers had left, Ichinose looked at him with a subtle dreamy gaze.
Her mind a bit foggy.
Just now they were teaming up to fight against the teachers. But two of them didn't actually talk much alone.
But now there are other students here too. So, had no choice but to continue with the previous topic.
"Hikigaya-kun's card-playing skills just now were really impressive. Our group has won several games in a row against the teache----"
"No, no, it's actually nothing great. I don't gamble at all."
"I..I didn't mean gamb---wait, Hikigaya-kun are you also one of those people wh----"
"Of course not, I don't even know how to use mobile before coming here."
"Hmm....It sounds fishy."
"You are imagining stuff."
On the one hand, Hoshinomiya is not a cheater like Nagumo, and other hand, his opponent is Chabashira.
Since Hikigaya-kun knows Horikita better and applies her personality, it's easy for him to tell whether Chabashira's pretended relaxed expression or deliberate stern face is a lie.
So, this is a shortcut.
'However, what did Chabashira-sensei mean by the look she gave me when she just left? Could it be....'
[Ding ding!]
Hikigaya-kun received the message.
[You came here specially because you have something to ask for, right? The lights are turned off at 11 o'clock, and it's 7:30 now.
I will go out and walk to the bus stop, and you will come out in 10 minutes.]
by Chabashira-sensei.
