Chapter 006 Kamuro Masumi: I'm Your First
"Hello, student, may I ask what you need?" The silver-haired girl smiled slightly and spoke very politely.
But upon closer observation, Hikigaya saw boundless chill in her squinted eyes!
'That's… Sakayanagi from the class?
When did she appear behind me?'
The purple-haired girl was startled first, then looked at the boy beside Sakayanagi.
When did this dead-fish-eyed guy show up!
She didn't even notice him at all?
"Uh…
Actually, it's nothing."
Hikigaya Hachiman scratched his head, his gaze starting to drift aimlessly.
Nothing?
Then why did you shout!
The silver-haired girl was immediately furious inside, wishing she could harshly knock the other person's head with the short cane in her hand!
Reason?
He had to find an excuse.
The purpose of Hikigaya Hachiman calling out to the silver-haired girl at this moment was to interrupt her candid photography.
"Could it be…"
A flicker of understanding shone in the silver-haired girl's eyes, and she looked suspiciously at the purple-haired girl not far away.
'Ooh? This white-haired loli is quite clever.'
To disrupt her train of thought, Hikigaya Hachiman made a decision that went against his ancestral instincts but one his sister would be very happy to see.
"I think you're very cute…
Could we…
Get to know each other?"
Hikigaya Hachiman's cheeks flushed, he bowed his head, and extended his hand.
'Damn it!'
He only intended to pretend.
He didn't expect it to be so embarrassing!!
"Wow~"
Seeing this scene, the surrounding passersby smiled knowingly.
The silver-haired girl was very cute, so it was natural for her to be approached.
"Hmph~ Loli-con!"
The purple-haired girl scoffed, glared at Hikigaya with contempt, and then turned to leave.
'Did she leave?
This Miss Master Thief.'
Looking down at the reflective floor and watching the long white legs walk away, Hikigaya breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah ha~ That was presumptuous of me…"
Hikigaya Hachiman raised his head, trying to muddle through with an apology.
He saw the silver-haired girl staring intently at him.
"Heh~ It is indeed quite presumptuous…
Confessing to someone while staring at another girl's long white legs."
"Pfft!"
Hikigaya Hachiman instantly lost his composure and instinctively denied: "I, when did I confess?
I just, I just wanted to make a friend…"
"Oh dear~ You haven't denied staring at Kamuro-san's long white legs, have you?"
The silver-haired girl revealed a mischievous, impish smile.
'Crap!
This trash loli is not cute at all!'
"Ahem~
In any case, please excuse my rudeness."
Hikigaya Hachiman planned a tactical retreat.
Unexpectedly, the silver-haired girl was a step ahead, stepping forward and taking his hand.
"Sakayanagi Arisu, Class 1-A.
It's a pleasure to meet you~~"
Her little hand was so soft.
It was cool, very comfortable to hold.
'Calm down, Hikigaya Hachiman!'
It's not the first time he's held hands with someone of the opposite sex.
He's at least held hands with his sister...
And his wife in his dreams.
Hikigaya Hachiman quickly regained his composure.
"Hachiman Hikigaya, Class 1-D.
Please take care of me."
He let go of the girl's delicate hand without lingering.
"Unexpectedly composed.
Could it be that this is not the first time Hikigaya-kun has held hands with a girl?"
Arisu Sakayanagi maintained a poised smile on her face.
"Looking down on me?
With all due respect.
Sakayanagi-san, you can only rank third."
Hikigaya Hachiman spoke the honest truth with a serious expression.
"..."
The smile on Arisu Sakayanagi's face froze, her eyelids twitched, and holding her breath caused her originally flat chest to slightly expand by an inch.
'As expected of Class A...'
As if sensing Hikigaya's downward gaze, Arisu Sakayanagi's expression suddenly became terrifying!
"My deepest apologies, Sakayanagi-san!"
Hikigaya Hachiman apologized sincerely.
"Hikigaya-kun, to be able to get to know such an interesting friend like you~
It really is~~ wonderful~~~"
'Doesn't it hurt to speak while constantly gritting your teeth?'
Arisu Sakayanagi gave him a deep look, as if to firmly imprint his appearance into her mind.
The kind that she would recognize even if he were reduced to ashes!!
"I feel like I've provoked someone formidable…"
Watching Arisu Sakayanagi's petite figure, leaning on her cane, leave step by step, Hikigaya Hachiman had a premonition that his next three years of high school might not be peaceful.
"You know Sakayanagi isn't easy to deal with, yet you actively provoked her. Are you an idiot?"
The voice of the purple-haired girl came from behind him.
Hikigaya turned around and saw a hint of smugness on her cold, proud face.
It was as if she was saying: Didn't expect me to be back, did you?
'What strong competitive spirit...'
She couldn't detect the person spying on her from behind, so she wanted the other person to taste what it was like to be spied on?
How should he put it...
Hikigaya had actually discovered her already, seeing the purple-haired girl return and hide in the corner to peek through the mirror on the shelf.
"Huh? Why are you back?"
Hikigaya Hachiman feigned surprise.
"Hmph~ It seems my tracking skills are still superior."
The corner of the purple-haired girl's lips curved slightly upwards.
"Goodbye."
"Wait a moment!"
The purple-haired girl instinctively grabbed Hikigaya's wrist.
"That, you just now…"
"I didn't see anything."
"How did you know I would ask you what you saw?"
The purple-haired girl glared at him again: "Are you taking me for a fool?"
When she turned around, she saw the camera flash briefly in Sakayanagi's hand. Combined with Hikigaya's abnormal behavior, it wasn't hard to guess that the latter was helping her.
'Truly...
How could someone so smart do something as stupid as stealing beer.
Do you like drinking that much?'
As if sensing Hikigaya's inner speculation, the purple-haired girl refuted in displeasure: "It's not because I like alcohol that I… took it."
'Then it's kleptomania, isn't that even worse?'
"I know what I did wasn't right…
So, I will reflect properly."
The purple-haired girl shivered at the thought that if Sakayanagi had filmed her stealing, she would definitely be held over a barrel by her and subsequently become her slave.
"Well then, take care of yourself…"
"Don't you 'well then' me!"
The purple-haired girl glared at him again, seemingly a bit angry that he hadn't asked for her name yet.
'Where is the courage you had when you hit on Sakayanagi just now?'
"Kamuro Masumi, Class 1-A."
"Oh… I'm Hikigaya Hachiman, Class 1-D."
"In any case, thank you for what happened just now."
"No need to thank me. I didn't do it to help you, it was just for my own satisfaction."
"What kind of reason is that… Strange guy."
Masumi Kamuro took out her student terminal and said earnestly, "I don't like owing people favors."
'An equivalent exchange, and then a mutual clearing of the debt?'
Hikigaya indicated that he could accept it, so he handed over his student terminal.
He wasn't extorting her; it was all the other person's free will!
Masumi Kamuro was momentarily stunned, then readily took Hikigaya's student terminal.
After some operations, she handed it back.
Seeing the transfer of 20,000 points displayed on the terminal, Hikigaya was impressed by her generosity.
Immediately after, he received a contact information message.
'Wait, where did this contact come from?'
[Masumi Kamuro: Big liar! (Finger pointing down in contempt.jpg)]
"What? Weren't you asking me for my contact information just now?"
Masumi Kamuro said impatiently.
"No, you misunderstood…"
Hikigaya flatly denied it.
He had no intention of asking Kamuro for her contact information.
"Hmph~ Clearly I'm your first."
Masumi Kamuro flashed a brilliant smile. The mere thought of Sakayanagi's unamused expression when she was ranked third made her feel pleasant both physically and mentally!
