Chapter 162 Completely Hammering the Criminals to Death!
Entrance to the girls' changing room.
"Karuizawa-san, please move aside. We need to go in and change."
"No!"
"From this moment on, everyone is prohibited from entering the changing room!"
Karuizawa Kei, Matsushita Chiaki, and Sato Maya stood firmly, blocking the entrance to the changing room.
"Why?"
"Is there something wrong with the changing room?"
The crowd of girls blocked at the door expressed their confusion.
"We aren't entirely sure of the specific details ourselves."
"In short, you aren't allowed in right now!"
Karuizawa Kei folded her arms across her chest, her attitude extremely forceful.
"Based on what?"
"You girls from Class D are being way too arrogant!"
"Tch! Do you really think you're some kind of big-shot bosses?"
The first to cause trouble were Manabe and her group from Class C—it had turned into a battle between "real" and "fake" Gyarus.
"Get out of the way!"
Manabe Shiho took the lead and tried to force her way through.
"..."
Seeing the other party get physical, Karuizawa Kei inevitably felt a bit of trepidation.
Matsushita Chiaki's eyes flashed with a sharp light. She knew that to control the situation now, she had to act decisively!
*Thud!*
With a powerful shove, Matsushita Chiaki pushed the leading Manabe Shiho to the ground.
"I'm sorry.
But there is no passage allowed right now!"
Knocked to the ground, Manabe Shiho began to shout and curse in a fit of rage. However, no matter how much her mouth screamed, her body honestly didn't take a single step forward.
Seeing this, Karuizawa Kei suddenly felt that these so-called "real" Gyarus weren't that scary after all. They were just a bunch of bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong!
"Wow! Chiaki, you're so cool!"
Sato Maya's eyes sparkled. She immediately followed suit, grabbing a nearby broom and blocking everyone's path menacingly.
"All of you, stay put! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
The trio's forceful performance successfully intimidated the majority of the girls. However, there were still a few girls who weren't afraid of trouble!
"Hey!"
"What are you guys doing, blocking the changing room?"
The newcomer was Ibuki Mio from Class C.
"Ibuki, you came at the perfect time!
Hurry up and teach these stinking women a lesson!"
Manabe Shiho, acting as if she had found a savior, began clamoring again on the spot.
"I say, our relationship isn't that good, is it?"
Ibuki Mio shook off Manabe's hand with a look of disgust. At the same time, she recognized that the three girls blocking the door all seemed to have a good relationship with Hikigaya.
Her tone softened slightly.
"Class D, give me a reasonable explanation."
"Sorry, we don't know much more than you do right now.
But the only thing we can be sure of is that there should be something bad inside the changing room."
Karuizawa Kei also recognized Ibuki Mio and explained with some patience.
"Something bad?"
"What is it?"
Ibuki Mio raised an eyebrow, clearly not accepting such a vague explanation.
Just then, another group of girls arrived at the scene.
"My, my… it seems some interesting things are happening here."
Sakayanagi Arisu leaned on her cane, observing the scene thoughtfully.
"If there's something in the changing room, I'll just go in and get it."
Kamuro Masumi took a step forward, facing the Class D trio directly.
"..."
Facing Ibuki Mio and Kamuro Masumi—two "combat-type" girls—the Class D trio really found it hard to cope.
"How about everyone calms down for a moment?"
People from Class B had also arrived.
Ichinose Honami, having learned about the situation from bystanders, proactively stepped forward to mediate.
"Karuizawa-san, may I ask who directed you to do this?"
The three Class D girls looked at each other. They weren't clear on Hikigaya's intentions, so out of caution, they did not reveal his information.
"Hmph! No one directed us; we're doing this ourselves. Is that a problem?" Karuizawa Kei stiffened her neck and spoke loudly.
"Karuizawa-san. It would be best if you didn't speak too arrogantly; that will only expose your weakness."
Sakayanagi Arisu nonchalantly pierced through Karuizawa Kei's "strong exterior, weak interior" facade.
"..."
Karuizawa Kei's expression changed. Her intuition told her that the girl in front of her, who looked weak and fragile, was essentially a very troublesome woman!
"Sakayanagi-san needn't speak with such thorns."
"We are doing this for the safety of all the girls."
Matsushita Chiaki's response was much more composed. After all, her family background was not low; the poise she had cultivated since childhood would not be much weaker than Sakayanagi Arisu's.
"Interesting~
It seems Class D has capable girls too."
Sakayanagi Arisu also seemed to realize that Matsushita Chiaki was not simple, and a provocative smile appeared on her face.
"Tsk!"
"I say, you guys are just dragging this out. What are you arguing about?"
Ibuki Mio didn't care about any of that. Seeing that Karuizawa and the others had no reason to convince her, she planned to force her way in!
"Wait."
Surprisingly, the one who stopped Ibuki this time was Kamuro Masumi.
"Kamuro from Class A… you're going to stop me too?" Ibuki Mio raised an eyebrow. She knew the girl in front of her was among the top in physical education scores. Of course, that wasn't the main point—the point was that this girl also seemed to have a very good relationship with Hikigaya.
"Kamuro? I didn't order you to act on your own."
Sakayanagi Arisu also cast a curious look over.
"Why should I listen to your orders?" Kamuro Masumi first countered her, then said, "I say, is there a possibility that they are acting on Hikigaya's orders?"
"This is Hikigaya's intention?"
Ibuki Mio immediately stopped her attempt to force entry.
"..."
The expressions of the Class D trio changed slightly, but they remained silent.
"Hikigaya-kun came too?
I'm curious, whose invitation did he come under?"
Sakayanagi Arisu's remark stirred the thoughts of several girls present.
"Ahaha~ Since it's Hikigaya-kun's intention, there must be a very important reason, right?" Ichinose Honami stepped in to smooth things over.
Just as the atmosphere was turning increasingly awkward…
Hikigaya, the instigator of it all, arrived at the scene leading members of the Student Council.
Seeing this, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, who was observing secretly from the crowd, completely gave up hope. He knew that as soon as this person made a move, things would become uncontrollable!
"Hikigaya, for the final time, can you confirm if the situation you reported is true?"
Horikita Manabu's face was as still as water. At the same time, he was implying: 'Do you really want to blow this matter out of proportion?'
"Yes.
I ask President Horikita to have someone carefully inspect the girls' changing room."
Hikigaya's attitude was resolute.
To hell with whether it affected the class or not; right now, he only wanted to completely hammer the criminals to death!
"Inspect the girls' changing room?"
"Is there really something inside?"
The girls whispered among themselves.
"Could it be that someone is peeping..."
Himeno Yuki's eyes narrowed slightly as she made a seemingly casual remark.
"That's impossible… right?
That's not at the level of a prank; that's a crime!"
The "goody-two-shoes" of Class A were still naive.
