"I will allocate a sum of money to you for maintaining order this time. The fee is given to you, and it is up to you to decide how much to give to the person who arranges the work. I want the effect. I don't care about the funding."
This statement immediately raised Kamuro-san's attention.
This is fine. That means you get paid for your work.
"If you have to pay to work, why do you want to take Hikigaya's job?" But what she got was a sigh from Arisu Sakayanagi.
"I thought that after a year at this school, you would have grown a lot, Kamuro-san, but even though your academic ability has gone half a level, and your physical fitness is still pretty okay, just attitude as a dog has become submissive."
"• • !"
"There is still no improvement in intelligence either. In fact, even if Hikigaya-kun didn't take initiative to push the work over to me today, I would have taken it over."
"Why?" Kamuro-san had long since stopped being dissatisfied with being scolded by Sakayanagi.
Moreover, she was indeed not very good in terms of intelligence, otherwise she would not have been cheated of points by Hikigaya several times.
Put blame on Hikigaya, so as to not let herself feel down.
That's Kamuro-san's coping policy for a while now.
"First of all, you have to know. I am the student council president, pinnacle of this school's students, and my father is Chairman of the board."
Kamuro-san had known this for a long time, can you please stop bragging now?
"So why did I so easily follow Hikigaya-kun's orders?"
"Then why?" Although Kamuro-san said this in his heart, she felt that Sakayanagi was a love-brained person. 'People in this category always do stupid things, but they also unconditionally trust person they like....'
"Of course it kills two birds with one stone." The daughter of school's chairman was a capitalist after all, "On the one hand, it can help Hikigaya-kun to have a better impression of me...."
Oh...
"On the other hand, school has said that information of the guests will not be disclosed to student council. But it is definitely useful for us students to assist them with arrangements and guidance for guests....So, we can get the guest information from school in advance today. If Hikigaya-kun came to work with me, he could also get this information, but he didn't do that now. He ran away on his own, so only we can get this information...."
I see....
Kamuro-san understood.
'Sakayanagi wanted to get some information about guests in advance, and then... maybe she could get information about Hikigaya's family. After all, Hikigaya Hachiman is the person that Sakayanagi has always wanted to invite to transfer to this class....Although school will arrange guests, and some of them are students' family members, the teacher said this is fair and random. But Sakayanagi had analyzed that it was impossible to invite the families of ordinary students....Because this is the first time that Advanced Nurturing High School is open to the public, it would be terrible if some troublesome family members were invited to attend and something went wrong....Therefore, Chairman will definitely select the families of outstanding students. At the same time, school puts strength first, do you want to be invited? Then work hard to get into Class A! Therefore, there is a high probability that family members of outstanding students will be invited. As daughter of chairman, Sakayanagi would definitely ask her father for help...I know it just by looking at her face. So, I feel pity for that person who had to raise this girl...!'
In fact, Sakayanagi had already confirmed Hikigaya's family would be guests of this cultural festival.
Kamuro-san changed her opinion of Sakayanagi. She used to think girl was a loser, but now, isn't she pretty amazing?
But isn't she still a love-brained person?
Kamuro-san felt that Sakayanagi was still hopeless.

Other side.
In order to make himself feel at ease on taking bonus from Ryuen class and look like he had made an effort, Hikigaya-kun also started to take action.
Today is rehearsal.
Start from the conspicuous entrance passage at school gate.
Can be found.
Some stalls have already been set up.
After all, cultural festival starts at 9 o'clock tomorrow, so if you don't rehearse and make complete preparations now, won't be able to be ready by 9 o'clock tomorrow.
If you are not well prepared, will lose advantage compared to other classes.
After deliberately giving the task to Sakayanagi, Hachiman first went to Class A, second year.
That is, investigate the project site of Sakayanagi's class.
On the one hand, he came to check what Sakayanagi meant when she said that she would take this special exam seriously.
Have you really put your heart into it?
Hachiman hopes that Sakayanagi's Class A will be strong enough and continues to raise evaluation scores.
On the other hand, if Sakayanagi was given a task first, then she probably wouldn't have expected a surprise inspection, so wouldn't have been able to notify the students in her class right away.
So, you can see the weaknesses of their class. It can also be regarded as working hard for Ryuen.
As vice president of the student council, he has information on the rental of venues for each class.
Among them is a large area on first floor of a teaching building that can be rented on the day exam rules are announced.
The rent is high and venue is large.
At that time, he was wondering which sucker would choose this place.
This sucker appeared.
It's Class A, Grade 2.
But it's a pity.
When arrived at the scene, he found that door on first floor was closed, and there were four large boxes at the door, but they were also sealed well.
"Isn't that Hikigaya?"
At the same time, there are people guarding here.
"If you are not sure who is the other person, you shouldn't say hello stating their name, Hashimoto."
???
One of the two students on guard was an acquaintance, Hashimoto.
He was leaning against the wall with his hands behind his head, bored.
When he noticed someone coming, he immediately focused his attention, and then found out that it was Hikigaya-kun, so he took the initiative to walk over and talk to him.
Other party was so cold.
"Your class doesn't allow students to visit? You lock the door so tightly."
Hachiman was very disdainful.
"...Although school has designated today as the day for rehearsal for each class, it does not force everyone to rehearse. And our class will not participate in rehearsal in accordance with Princess Sakayanagi's opinion. If you are interested, please come back tomorrow." Hashimoto looked embarrassed, because he doesn't know what to say, this guy's moment was too strong.
Which means it has to be kept secret till the end.
Compared to openness of other classes, confidentiality can enhance the curiosity of visitors.
Then will most likely become consumers.
Sakayanagi was playing psychological warfare.
Although cannot confirm what the project of Sakayanagi's class is, can basically rest assured that girl should be taking this cultural festival seriously.
So, Hikigaya-kun chose to leave.
Then go scout out other classes' projects.
First, it was Ichinose's class in same grade. She initially chose to prepare an outdoor venue for an open-air roadside barbecue.
Finally, in order to increase the class's turnover, changed to renting a venue and offering a steak buffet for a slightly higher price for lunch.
Hachiman thought that she must have learned taking part in performance, and girl also made an agreement with the first-year class A, remuneration would be borrowed from some of sales revenue.
Then promote Yukino's Concert, in exchange of revenue. It's a double marketing scheme.
Therefore, even conservative and united Ichinose may have to compete for the 300 points for top four.
Class didn't want to fall behind, so they also started working hard to increase sales.
Then Horikita's class... Well, this is very independent, and half of students think they can't beat other classes, so bound to lose points, so let's just play badly.
So when Hachiman went to their area, hardly saw any students.
Students in his grade have been observed.
Hachiman went to 3rd grade area to take a look.
3rd-year student will graduate in half a year.
Although Nagumo-senpai dropped out of school, it is a little late for class competition to really begin in this grade.
If cultural festival this time was led by Kiryuin, there would be no sure-win plan.
Because this was weak point of Kiryuin, who was often alone and preferred to visit scene rather than organize her own.
But their projects are not too bad.
It's a pretty standard haunted house.
Then students who come to visit and investigate are allowed to experience it in advance.
It is demeanor of 3rd-year seniors.

"Woo——"
Although Hachiman doesn't really like haunted houses, he doesn't even believe in the existence of ghosts.
Because he always believed that humans were scarier than ghosts.
'However, not long after entering the haunted house, I saw a female ghost who wanted to scare people jump out but then fell to the ground....'
This is really too cute.
Hikigaya-kun is looking ahead.
It is a scene of a female ghost falling down. Of course, it can't be a real one.
As for haunted houses, they usually create a scary atmosphere, have narrow passages, and add horror props.
Finally, the staff themselves come on stage to play ghosts. Hikigaya-kun has considered all of this.
Now a staff member acting as a ghost comes out, and then... falls flat on the ground.
This way it's not scary at all.
Hachiman even noticed that opponent's left foot stepped on his right foot and then fell down.
This is project of Class A in Grade 3, so this should be a senior student.
As a polite junior, when you see the other person in such a predicament, you should pretend not to notice it and give her some leeway.
But he also quickly noticed that female ghost must have been in great pain from the fall, because she started crying.
And sound of her crying... to be precise, it seemed somewhat familiar.
"Asahina...senpai?"
Hachiman's eyes fell on other person.
Although she was wearing the white clothes of a female ghost, her clothes were deliberately dyed with color of tomato.
But this body shape is indeed Asahina Nazuna.
As an observer of humans, Hikigaya-kun is confident that he will not make mistakes.
Huh?
The girl who fell down and tried to get up but still felt very painful also noticed the customer who just passed by here...it was...Hikigaya-kun!
"Shit!"
