Chapter 060: Hirata: Can I borrow Hachiman for a moment? Sakayanagi: I’m not familiar with him.
Class D First-Year Agreement.
1. All students in Class D will continue to participate in this month’s behavioral standards exam with the goal of achieving a class evaluation score of 400 or above.
2. If the class achieves a score of 400 or above, everyone will be happy.
3. If the class score is below 400, points will be paid to the homeroom teacher to inquire about the specific deductions. The three students with the highest deductions will contribute 100,000 points as class fees (installment payments are allowed).
4. If the class can achieve a score of 400+ in the class evaluation, then in the next special exam, if there is a potential expulsion situation, the class will provide mutual support to ensure the safety of the student in question.

“So, your class signed such terms?”
A sweet, lovely voice from a cute girl echoed.
This was a private room on the third floor of the cafeteria.
Hachiman had been invited by a silver-haired girl, or rather, her dog-like classmate, Kamuro, had been waiting for him in the corridor outside his classroom.
Then, when they realized he was alone, they directly brought him over.
However, Hachiman also provided some information.
His class, First-Year Class D, had already prepared to continue with the exams.
In other words, by signing the agreement, both rewards and punishments were put in place to ensure constraints.
The behavioral standards exam was not about testing students’ intelligence or academic ability but was about assessing their self-discipline.
So, as long as self-discipline was ensured, no further deductions would occur.
Maybe they could perform like the students in Class A.
The question was, would the students actually obey?
After all, these were students of Class D.
However, the very fact that they were able to sit down and sign this agreement showed that Class D students had made a certain level of determination.
So, even though it was surprising to see the determination of Class D students, it was still noteworthy.
After all, 500 points in 5 days—such a high deduction rate—was something that even upperclassmen were surprised by.
And now, they were going to challenge the goal of having fewer than 80 points deducted over the course of 25 days?
Although the exam content was basically what an outstanding student should do, it wasn’t about doing problems or forcing students to answer questions in class.
But if all 40 students were individuals who could have points deducted, it would require a lot of restraint.
“This is indeed an agreement that has made progress,” said Sakayanagi Arisu. “But I’m curious.”
“Would your class’s students be that easy to manage?”
Of course, they wouldn’t be easy to manage.
From Horikita to Hachiman, Koenji, and Hirata, all four had exploded one after another to get this agreement.
It made one feel like a gathering of talents, but it was actually a bunch of turnips having a meeting.
Because other classes wouldn’t face such problems. For example, Class A had already managed to reduce deductions to only 4 points over 6 days, and Class B was probably already reflecting and thinking they shouldn’t relax anymore.
So the atmosphere in other classes was much better.
Unlike in Class D, where, in order to save some class evaluation points, everything turned into a battle.
“It’s just that it’s difficult through conversation, so I chose this method.” Hachiman said. He then picked up his phone and showed the screen to Sakayanagi Arisu.
It was the school’s forum interface.
“Which cafeteria window has the worst free food?” by Hikigaya Hachiman.
When you clicked on it, you would find that a senior had responded.
They advised to absolutely avoid the third window, as the free meal there was awful today.
“I went with the class to the third window to get the free food and brought it back to the classroom.” Hachiman continued. “Each person got a serving, and everyone thought it was disgustingly bad. If we ate that every day, we’d go crazy.”
“If you don’t have any points, the school still provides emergency rations, but they taste awful.”
“Even the meals are cold.”
“Although there is the option to buy a microwave and heat it up, for those with no points, microwaves are too expensive to afford.”
“So I let them experience the food firsthand, and then everyone became more disciplined.”
“After all, it’s easier to eat this only once than to eat it for three years.” Hachiman said.
“Oh.” Sakayanagi Arisu understood.
So that’s why he invited him over and just watched her eat.
At first, she thought he had developed some new odd taste, but it turned out he had already eaten.
Because Class D’s dinner today was a free mountain vegetable set meal.
When Sakayanagi Arisu learned about this school’s free food program, she also knew that students like Katsuragi had specifically tried it out.
But Sakayanagi didn’t even glance at it.
After all, with her affluent family background and as a student in Class A, she would never fall to that level.
However, when occasionally browsing the school’s forum, she noticed that seniors from lower-ranked classes had worked on improving the food.
For instance, some pooled money to buy a microwave, or if the food lacked enough salt, they went to a convenience store to buy salt.
If the food was too salty, they would rinse it to reduce the saltiness.
These were just small life hacks.

“Um…”
“Hikigaya-kun, are you there?”
At that moment, a blonde-haired boy appeared at the door of the private room.
His blonde hair had a hint of green in it, giving him a very sunny and handsome look.
This was the shining star of Class D, Hirata “Mom” Yousuke.
“This is a classmate of mine, Hirata Yousuke…” Hachiman was about to introduce.
“That won’t be necessary.” But Sakayanagi Arisu immediately rejected it.
As a representative of Class A, a student from Class D wouldn’t catch her attention.
In fact, if it wasn’t for Kushida or Hikigaya’s performance upon entering school, she might not have crossed paths with him.
But…
It was undeniable that due to her physical condition, she had been absent from school and had always longed for campus life.
At first, she had high expectations of the school, but after realizing its true nature and landing in the stress-free environment of Class A, her interest waned.
But now, thanks to Hikigaya, even a class competition she wasn’t initially interested in sparked some curiosity.
She was a bit curious about how Hikigaya, despite having a class like this full of misfits, intended to use it as a weapon.
And then, he even declared war on her.
She wanted to see how far he could go.
But…
At least, she wouldn’t be defeated.
Despite her sweet and cute appearance, Sakayanagi Arisu now had a formidable presence.
…
Meanwhile, Hirata, who wasn’t introduced, had taken the initiative to step forward.
“Can I borrow Hikigaya-kun for a moment?” Hirata asked.
Being someone with high intelligence and emotional intelligence, Hirata, noticing Hikigaya was with a girl from another class, appeared polite.
But this politeness was misplaced.
“Feel free.” Sakayanagi Arisu said. “But please don’t misunderstand, as I’m not really familiar with Hikigaya-kun.”
After probably finishing her meal, she appeared quite graceful and directly grabbed her cane before leaving.
Although Kamuro Masumi, who had been waiting at the side, reluctantly followed.
But Kamuro’s gaze was fixed on Sakayanagi’s back.
She wanted to rebut what Sakayanagi just said.
Was it true that Sakayanagi wasn’t familiar with Hikigaya?
Clearly, just earlier, she was complaining about Hikigaya not sharing meals and even insisting on splitting the bill for the private room. But now, she had served him dessert, and didn’t ask him to pay at all.
And it was quite scary how he got her to treat him, not feeling embarrassed at all.
