Pirate's Freedom

After class, as usual, the teachers were so cheerful and friendly that it didn’t feel like this was a school for further education.

Among the students who had already stepped into this sweet trap once, no one violated classroom disciplines this time.

But it seemed like it was overdone. Even when get out of class was over, the classroom was filled with a lifeless and tense atmosphere.

It wasn't until after school that Hirata stood on the podium as he had been informed in the morning and started preparing for a combat meeting on the blackboard.

Through participation, we can get a glimpse of the degree of centripetal force——

Except for a few men and women, almost all the students in the class chose to participate and gathered in the front of the classroom to make a noise.

Besides--

Kawasaki remained motionless in his seat, looking out the window aimlessly.

As if curious about what she was looking at, Ila also narrowed her eyes in the same direction.

Totsuka took a gentle breath, turned around and spoke to Zaimokuza beside him.

"Well, um, hello..."

"Uh-huh, uh-huh, hahahaha!"

Hearing Totsuka greeting him, Zaimokuza immediately laughed nervously. After a while, his laughter stopped and he responded in a low voice.

"Hello……"

"You are Zaimokuza-san, right? That day... I also saw you. Are you Hikigaya-san's friend?"

Zaimokuza was a little surprised when Totsuka asked him this question, but he still nodded in response.

"Since you are Hikigaya-san's friend, you should be able to be my friend, right? If you are willing, I will be very happy. Because there are really not many friends of the same gender as me."

Totsuka said with a shy smile.

"Huh...hehe, heh, heh, heh! Hachiman and I are indeed good friends, no, brothers. No, no, no, I am the master and he is the servant... Well, there is no way. Since you say so, I will Be your... that, that... [friend]."

At this point, Zaimuzao's voice paused, and he looked up at him with a blushing face.

"If you want, you can also ask me to be your boyfriend."

"Well, that...maybe there's nothing we can do about it."

Upon hearing this request, Totsuka huddled his shoulders and muttered sheepishly, "Let's just be friends."

"Is that so..."

Zaimuzha moved his chair, and his strong figure blocked the sunlight, shrouding Karina in shadow.

"Hello, comrade," he suddenly approached Karina and asked quietly.

"Does he like me? Is this the so-called peach blossom period? Is my peach blossom period coming?"

Karina didn't mean to answer him, her eyes were already drifting into the distance like Kawasaki.

Regardless of whether they are willing to listen or not, this statement that transcends common sense has already reached the ears of others.

"..."

With an unbearable expression on his face, Kawasaki pushed his hair upward, and Ila turned her head in confusion.

Sighing in disbelief, Horikita intimidated Zaimokuza with a look as if he was looking at something dirty, stood up and walked out of the classroom.

"Ayanokouji——"

When Ayanokoji also wanted to retreat, Yamauchi poked his head out from under the desk with a dying expression.

"Uh-oh!" He showed a startled expression, "What are you doing? What's wrong?"

"I bought this with [-] points~ I can't buy anything without points~"

He put the brand new game console he just bought on the table, and Ayanokouji said with an expression that he didn't want it at all.

"If you sell it to me, who should I play with?"

"How do I know that kind of thing?" Yamauchi begged, "Okay, it's a special price, so it's a good deal."

"If it's a thousand points, I'll buy it."

Ayanokouji decided to cut through the mess quickly.

"Ayanokouji——! You are the only one I can rely on~!"

Although Yamauchi looked at him with moist eyes, Ayanokouji had already looked away.

"...Why is it just me...I can't help you."

As if he judged that he could not get charity from Ayanokouji, Yamauchi turned around and immediately began to aim at other targets.

"Bo——"

"Do you want to buy it for me?"

"Hey, hey--!"

Karina suddenly spoke, which surprised Yamauchi.He quickly looked around and lowered his voice subconsciously.

"Are you talking to me?"

"Ten thousand points."

Karina didn't waste any time and just made a one gesture.

"I'm only willing to pay ten thousand points for it."

Valley</span> "..."

Yamauchi hesitated for a moment, but still said.

"Well... I want to ask someone again."

"It's up to you." Karina assumed a calm attitude, "But if you come to me again, it means you agree to make the deal at [-] points."

"Why did the price drop?"

As if he couldn't suppress his instinct, Yamauchi started shouting.

"Of course -"

Karina didn't let up.

"Let me give you a piece of advice. If you don't take action as soon as possible, the price will continue to fall."

It seemed that he had glimpsed this scene, and it seemed that some kind of silent understanding was broken. After Yamauchi left muttering, someone came over to talk to him.

"The person who ran out of points seems to be having a hard time."

As soon as the girl spoke to him, Ayanokouji, who was about to get up, immediately sat back down.

"Kushida, your points don't matter, right? Girls have many necessary things, right?"

"Well, it's okay so far. I've used about half of it." Kushida thought about it and said with some sigh.

"I've had too much freedom in the past month, so it's a bit hard to endure. So are you okay?"

"Because the circle of friends is so wide, it's difficult to live without money... I hardly use it, and I don't have anything in particular that I need."

Ayanokouji also told Kushida about his situation.

"Is it because I have no friends?"

Kushida blinked and suddenly spoke narrowly.

"Hey..." Ayanokouji sighed.

"Ahaha, I'm sorry, I don't mean any harm at all."

In an unnecessarily cute manner, Kushida smiled and apologized, clasping her hands together, and then turned her attention to Karina, who was looking at her.

"My name is Kushida Kikyo."

"Well, my name is Karen."

Karina responded to her.

"Um, Kushida-san, can you excuse me?"

Another girl came over, and Kushida turned to her.

"Karuizawa-san, what's wrong?"

"Actually, I... spend my points too much, and I'm really short of money. I'm slowly borrowing points from the girls in my class, and I hope Kushida-san can help me too. Are we friends? Really? , a person only needs [-] points.”

She asked Kushida to lend her some points with a playful smile. Karuizawa Megumi’s attitude didn’t make it clear that she was asking for help.

"Well, yes."

But Kushida seemed to have no reluctance at all and immediately decided to help Karuizawa.

"Thank you~ Friends are indeed indispensable. This is my number, so I'll excuse you~ Ah, Inokashira-san, actually, I spend my points too aggressively~"

Karuizawa found the next target student and left Kushida like the wind.

"is this okay?"

After watching this scene, Karina suddenly spoke.

"In all likelihood, I won't come back."

"If a friend is in trouble, I can't just ignore it. Karuizawa-san's circle of friends is also very wide, so I think it would be very hard if I didn't have points."

Kushida looked gentle and authentic.

"Um...is that so..."

Karina tilted her head, wondering what she was thinking.

"Ah, but how do we give the points to her?"

As if he just realized this, Kushida looked a bit confused and troubled.

"Did you get the note with the number on it from Karuizawa?"

Ayanokouji reminded from the side.

"If you enter it on your mobile phone, you should be able to transfer it."

"Is that so?"

Breathing out a relieved breath, Kushida nodded happily.

"The school has also taken good care of the students, and has also prepared such a system to help people like Karuizawa who are troubled."

[Ayanokouji, Class D, first-year classmate, if your class teacher, Mr. Chabashira, wants to see you, please come to the teacher's office. 】

After the gentle prelude sound effects were played, the classroom was filled with emotionless announcements.
