Chương 13: I Can’t Help It, I’m a Diehard Sis-Con
"Hikigaya, have you ever had a girlfriend?"
Chabashira's question left Hikigaya completely stunned.
What is this about?
Why is she asking me this?
Is there some special reason, or does she have a particular interest in me?
Although Hikigaya had considerable confidence in his appearance, he didn't want to develop any complicated relationships with this sadistic queen. Compared to her, even Horikita seemed a thousand times better!
Damn it, I'm not a masochist!
But if this could somehow make me a pampered high schooler under a fiery teacher's care…
Given the school and Class D's current state, the hardships to come would likely be unbearable. If Chabashira could offer me any leniency…
Seeing Hikigaya standing there, as if lost in a profound struggle and almost veering off the path of life by decades, Chabashira sighed deeply, pressing her forehead.
"It seems your biggest problem is overthinking. Don't you think this was just a simple inquiry?"
"…But what's the purpose of asking this question now?"
Hikigaya was at a loss.
He rarely encountered such baffling situations when communicating with Hiratsuka, which in some ways made Hiratsuka much easier to understand.
In contrast, this teacher was almost incomprehensible, clearly a bad woman…
While Hikigaya wasn't averse to the idea of bad women in fiction, real-life interactions were another matter.
"Hikigaya, do you think someone like you would have friends?"
"There's almost no chance."
Hikigaya responded with confidence, as if he had just sprinted a hundred meters in under ten seconds.
"You really have no hesitation at all," Chabashira sighed, feeling that talking to Hikigaya was detrimental to her health.
If this continued, she might even lose years off her life…
No wonder the evaluation of this student in the admission report was so nuanced.
"In any case, I also think someone like you is unlikely to have friends, but on the flip side, people like you might attract some romantic attention, which is why I asked if you have a girlfriend."
To prevent Hikigaya from misunderstanding, Chabashira laid out her thoughts completely.
After speaking, she tiredly brushed a strand of hair from her face, trying to regain her composure and rationality.
"I see… But I strongly disagree with your point about 'attracting romantic attention.' It feels like a consolation prize, much like how teachers often say 'If you studied harder, your grades wouldn't be so poor.' In reality, effort and results don't always correlate."
"Hmph, at least you're very clear-headed in this regard."
"I call it having excellent self-awareness and strong emotional management!"
Hikigaya responded with a pompous attitude.
"So, you haven't had a girlfriend until now?"
"No! After all, I'm very focused on fairness and am a staunch advocate for women's rights. I wouldn't let any girl be at a disadvantage with me!"
Hikigaya felt his answer deserved a perfect score!
Chabashira, seemingly accustomed to his personality, continued with an indifferent expression:
"Then you haven't participated in any club activities either?"
"I'm a core member of the Homecoming Club."
"Well, let me ask this: Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Uh, ah…?"
t seemed that Chabashira Sae had anticipated Hikigaya's reaction and felt she had gained a small victory.
Hikigaya noticed this and felt a deep sense of resignation.
This woman has an incredibly strong competitive streak...
"Well, I've gotten a general understanding of your situation. Now, let's discuss your request."
Chabashira Sae, feeling she had enough information, finally returned to the main topic. "You're here because you have a specific goal, aren't you?"
"That..."
Hikigaya hesitated slightly.
So far, everything had been within his expectations, but what came next was beyond his anticipation.
Every word exchanged from this point on would be a significant clue.
"What I want to ask is, does this school really prohibit students from leaving campus at any point during the three years?" Hikigaya carefully phrased his question, "You mentioned earlier that, within the limits of the law, everything in this school can be traded for points, correct?"
"Indeed, you've picked up on the most crucial detail."
Chabashira Sae looked at Hikigaya with a slightly admiring expression. "As you surmised, the privilege of entering and leaving the school can also be exchanged for points."
"Then, how many points exactly..."
"This matter itself requires points for exchange." Chabashira Sae gazed at Hikigaya with a hint of amusement. "Are you willing to trade points for this information?"
"If I could afford it."
Hikigaya didn't hesitate. His greatest concern right now was whether he would have the chance to see Komachi during these three years. Otherwise, he felt he would surely sink into a deep depression, like a fish stranded on land, gradually dying!
"Let me tell you, there's no way to obtain permission to leave the school through normal means. The only way is to buy the privilege from those who are already allowed to leave, such as through student council's regular off-campus activities or clubs that make it to prefectural or even national competitions. Those are the main opportunities to leave the school."
"The specific number of points depends on the buyer's willingness, but considering how rare this resource is, it's highly sought after. At least two million points..."
"Two million?!" Hearing this number, Hikigaya felt a chill run down his spine. "Given Class D's current situation, it's almost impossible to accumulate that amount in a lifetime!"
"So you've already figured out the rules."
Chabashira Sae regarded Hikigaya with a knowing smile.
Hikigaya realized he had let slip his thoughts due to his agitation...
"In any case, with the current Class D, it's impossible to accumulate two million personal points for you." Chabashira Sae seemed less constrained now that the topic was out in the open. "The best way to accumulate such a large amount of personal points is to advance Class D to Class A or transfer to Class A yourself. But that also requires a substantial amount of points, creating a vicious cycle."
"So, there's no way out except for making Class D become Class A?"
"You can understand it that way."
Chabashira Sae watched Hikigaya calmly.
She believed that after explaining all this, the student before her should be able to come up with the response she expected.
Hikigaya struggled internally, his mind flooded with images of the terrifying faces of Class D students, then recalling his sister's adorable smile...
"It seems I have no choice."
Hikigaya sighed with resignation.
What can I do? I'm such a hopeless sis-con...
If it's for my sister, I might just be able to accomplish anything!
