After checking Chabashira-sensei's information, Hachiman stayed obediently in lounge on first floor.
He chose a spot near the hotel entrance. There was a vending machine, seats, even magazines and newspapers, so it wouldn't look weird to sit there. 'I should say that Chabashira-sensei is quite amazing. From the text messages she sent, it seems that she didn't go back to get her phone, see the message, and you will think that I wanted to contact her privately.....'
It felt like he took the initiative to find her because he needed her assistance with something.
Adults are indeed better than students.
Hachiman thought so, and soon, he saw Chabashira-sensei walking out of the hotel alone without saying a word or changing her expression.
She was heading in direction of the bus station.
Hachiman continued to stay.
At this time, it would be strange for a student and a teacher to go out together.
Both Hikigaya-kun and Chabashira-sensei know how to avoid suspicion.
So, while he was daydreaming, he was waiting here for the time difference to appear, and then would head towards Chabashira-sensei.
"Sorry, I need to go out for a while...."
There was a girl's voice at the door.
It seemed a waiter was standing at the door, and girl's voice was just now talking.
Voice quite familiar.
Hachiman looked over.
She was a cute girl with a green and yellow ponytail, but she didn't dress properly. (Dyeing here....)
It's not that she didn't want to wear clothes, but took off her crimson jacket and tied it around her waist, and she also wore white bubble socks on her calves.
A hot girl.
Hikigaya-kun currently only knows a few people who dress like this.
One is Karuizawa Kei, the other is Sato, and occasionally you can see Matsushita dressed like this as well, while Shinohara Satsuki, who often plays with them, dresses formally.
This kind of dress seems to be attractive among the girls in Class C.
In other words, most of the girls in Class C are bad or hot girls.
This one is Karuizawa Kei.
Hachiman saw the waiter leave, but she turned from the door and walked towards him.
Do you want to talk?
This school trip has lasted for four days, but two of them have not had a single word of conversation.
The only text message asked which group he was in.
After receiving the news that he was assigned to eighth group, Karuizawa did not continue to send messages.
Finally met here.
Seeing the girl approaching him, Hikigaya-kun asked that should be normal, "You're going out at this time...Is it to digest the food?"
(❛`п'❛）Karuizawa's expression turned like this next moment.
"I'm going to electronics store. Someone in the room is snoring, so I'm going to buy a pair of headphones. What about you?"
It is not suitable to go out at this time, and because it is time to go to bed soon, some people are snoring, which is a physiological condition and cannot be controlled, so all others can do is to use headphones or plug their ears with wooden plugs.
It is indeed difficult.
Then you need to go out.
This reason is not sufficient.
Because group assignment started on the first day, and now it is fourth night of staying in the hotel.
It is a bit late to buy headphones because you feel that your roommate's snoring is unbearable.
So, Karuizawa obviously wasn't telling the truth. Why did she say that?
When Hikigaya-kun first wanted Chabashira-sensei's 10 million points, he was looking for people in the class who could help him, and Karuizawa was one of them.
Although he has left Class D now, he has not given up his connection with Karuizawa.
That is to say.
She was used by him, and he would choose to protect her. Now, what happened to her?
According to what she just said, she also deliberately concealed it from him.
Going out at such an inappropriate time means there must be something inappropriate to tell others.
But is Karuizawa the type to hide things from him?
Although Sakayanagi sometimes boasts that she is quite good at training dogs.
Although Kamuro-san seems unruly, she can basically accomplish whatever she asks.
This is too much to treat people as puppies.
As for Hikigaya-kun, he feels that Karuizawa is like a loyal dog. At least, he has not seen girl disobey his orders so far.
So, are you in some trouble now that you have to hide it from him?
Even most readers think so.
Then you need to be careful about the statements she makes that she might deliberately conceal.
"Are you going to the electronics store? That's perfect. I'm also planning to buy a wireless charger. My old one is giving me a lot of problems..."
"What kind?"
"Blue indicator is missing, and it doesn't seem to be charging at previous speed of 30 minutes. Sometimes, it even shows you need to unplug and clean both devices. I am a bit irritated, so let's go together."
"Eh?" Karuizawa seemed stunned, "Go together or something——"
Then she seemed hesitant to give her consent to go along.
"Do you have any other place you want to go before going to the electronics store?"
"Probably... a convenience store?"
This was said with a face that looked very serious.
Karuizawa said a name that seemed to be made up at random. Logically, convenience stores would also have headphones.
After thinking about it, she answered this question, which means that she must be hiding the real location.
However, this is not the case.
Since he was close to Karuizawa, he probably understood, "Then I'll go to the convenience store too. I have seen Sakayanagi eating chips. It's tempting me...."
"Hey! You're going too!" But Karuizawa stepped back reflexively as if she had been caught by a cat, as if she had encountered something surprising.
"This should be a normal physiological phenomenon. Boys are not unaware of this." Hikigaya-kun looked at her seriously, "Whether the sanitary napkins used by girls during their menstrual period are made of cotton or cloth, the merchants will deliberately make them with floral scents to neutralize the blood and make smell less obvious. So as long as you know the scent of mint or jasmine on a girl's body, you can tell whether she is menstruating. Whether you're wearing perfume or using natural body odor, you can't choose mint. But just now you had the scent of mint on you...although it was very fai-----"
However, Karuizawa looked obviously flustered by all these facts pointing out, "Alright, that's enough. Don't go into details! I admit that I want to go to convenience store to buy that! Please don't say it anymore. It's scary!"
If this wasn't in public, Karuizawa would have held her head with her hands.
Because the other party's speculation is correct.
She was originally planning to buy sanitary napkins, but because she miscalculated the time and had eaten something cold in past two days, she came early.
She had not made any special preparations, so needed to replenish the stock, and that's why she went out at such a strange time.
It was also to avoid embarrassment, but the most bad thing was that she met Hikigaya-kun, the person she least wanted to meet at the door.
So at the beginning, she planned to make a feint and make the other party leave.
As long as the destination is different, there is no need to worry.
When she heard that he was going to an electronics store, her heart was actually beating fast and she wanted to shout "Well done", but in the end timing was quite bad.
So, had no choice but to surrender, "Although I don't know if you are making reasons, but they seemed quite genuine. I don't know how you do it on the spot like this?"
"What do you mean making up? I really want a new charger."
Since they were going out together, Karuizawa would also go to convenience store in the end.
So it would definitely be discovered anyway, that's why she didn't argue anymore.
"Why didn't you just say it at the beginning? But today you've made some progress and learned to keep it secret. I'll go to the convenience store as well. It's not safe for a girl to go out alone at this late hour. Although the incident with out-of-school student at the ski resort is over, you're going out alone now. You still need to be careful."
"Oh, well. Fine, I give up." Karuizawa did not refuse at this time.
After all, it's safer to have a boy to protect you when you go out.
"Can this be understood as you protecting me? Is it the same as our agreement?"
"Probably. Not only Koenji, but also Horikita has left the class. Then upcoming special exam will be even more difficult for Class D. As for living expenses, as I said before, I can pay for it, but I still need your help when necessary. But as for the written exam, you'll have to work hard on your own."
That is to say, it is a transaction.
But it's rare for the two of them to be together, so let's go, Karuizawa thought.
So, two of them went to the convenience store together.

Other side.
Chabashira-sensei sat alone in a seat near the bus stop. Holding a ladies cigarette.
She crossed her legs. It was taken out but not lit.
But she was looking around and soon noticed Hikigaya appeared. She just wanted to stand up but found something was wrong.
That is, the other party seemed to have brought a girl with him. This girl was a student in her class -
'Did something happen to Karuizawa?' When Chabashira was thinking this, she found that two of them were walking on opposite side of the street.
They didn't even look at her, but went to convenience store on opposite side of the street.
It was like escorting a female and then ignoring her.
"...." Chabashira wondered alone if she did something wrong by pretending it was like he was the one who invited her.
'But in fact...it was really him who sent the message first to meet!'
