Chapter 90: Shimotsukiuri Ouri: Drive Them All Out Without Exception!
Their warm breaths brushed against Hikigaya's earlobes.
The firm, well-trained flesh of their legs delivered a delightful sensation.
Hikigaya closed his eyes. This sounded like a proposal with all gain and no loss—he had no reason to refuse.
All he had to do was nod, and he could use the Ougatou sisters as vessels to extend his influence and control over the Full-Bloom Association. Not only that, he could freely engage in all kinds of physical play with these athletic, beautiful girls—activities that required flexibility and softness.
"The conditions are very tempting. I don't have any reason to turn you down."
Hikigaya Hachiman let out a slow breath. His puffed-up chest unconsciously collapsed a little.
The Ougatou sisters exchanged a smile. Though they were still virgins, if this was the price to tie down Hikigaya Hachiman and win the Full-Bloom Association presidency, then it wasn't a loss at all.
While Hikigaya had been gathering information on them, they had been doing the same.
After Aiura Kokoro lost her exam gambling match, they had already prepared themselves for betrayal, and had started paying attention to Hikigaya Hachiman early on.
At first glance, he seemed like nothing more than an ordinary, forgettable homebody from the go-home club. But watching him long enough revealed that it was all an act. His face, which became more attractive the more you looked at it, had already stirred the sisters' hearts.
The sensations coming from his chest, hands, and thighs told the sisters that the body hidden beneath that oversized school uniform was well-toned—undoubtedly athlete-grade. They were completely convinced.
Exceptional gambling skills, striking looks, a strong body, and shared ambitions...
Sleeping with someone like that—sharing him between the two of them—wasn't anything to be regretted.
Perfect.
Just as the Ougatou sisters began to indulge in fantasies—
Hikigaya's cold voice suddenly echoed in their ears:
"But I refuse."
"Eh?!"
The Ougatou sisters looked up in disbelief, staring at Hikigaya's suddenly more chiseled side profile.
"What did you just say?"
"I said—I refuse."
Hikigaya slowly and deliberately pulled his arms out from their embraces, and said calmly, "I have one and only one objective: to destroy the Full-Bloom Association."
"Since our goals diverge at the very root, no matter how tempting your conditions, I won't accept them."
"Why not?!"
Naoko Ougatou (the older sister) panicked, her face flushing red:
"We can control the Full-Bloom Association and help you get revenge on Mibuomi Aoi!"
"No, no, I'm just a small fry." Hikigaya shook his head.
"Since I've decided to stand with President Momobami and Chairwoman Juraku, the Full-Bloom Association is an entity I absolutely must eliminate. I won't allow even a sliver of wishful thinking."
Hikigaya had a very clear understanding of his position.
Before he won his gambling match with Momobami, he was nothing but a small-time player.
Even though now it seemed like he could have whatever he wanted—be it wind or rain—it was only because of Momobami and Juraku. Without those two women backing him, his small frame wouldn't stand a chance.
A small fry needed to have the awareness of a small fry. His stance had to be rock-solid.
Destroy everything that belongs to Mibuomi Aoi.
"You bastard!!"
The Ougatou sisters turned red with fury. Even after they'd thrown away their pride like this, Hikigaya Hachiman still rejected them.
Did he think they didn't care about dignity?!
"Of course, if you're willing to publicly announce your withdrawal from the Full-Bloom Association, then I think we might still have a chance to become friends."
"Hmph! No way that's happening! We're determined to claim the Full-Bloom presidency!"
The Ougatou sisters had been thoroughly provoked. They glared at the four people in front of them with hostility:
"If that's how it is, then let's gamble!"
"But if you lose, Hikigaya—you won't be our friend..."
"...You'll become the personal livestock of the two of us sisters!"
"I'm going to thoroughly humiliate you!"
Ougatou Houko glared fiercely at Hikigaya Hachiman and ground her little leather boot into the floor. Her fair thighs revealed healthy muscles, giving off a unique charm.
Hikigaya Hachiman remained as calm as still water, meeting her gaze without the slightest hint of fear.
Just as he was about to say something—
Bang—
The door to the baseball clubroom was pushed open. Everyone turned toward the sound.
"Ougatou-san, that was just a joke just now, right?"
Shimotsukiuri Ouri?!
Everyone except Hikigaya and Jabami was visibly shocked.
"Huh—Naoko, did we say something just now?"
"Houko, I don't quite remember either~"
"Enough! Stop joking around!" Shimotsukiuri Ouri's pupils seemed to converge into a single point as she stared down the six people before her.
To Shimotsukiuri Ouri, they were all enemies of Lord Mibuomi—threats to the Full-Bloom Association that must be purged completely!
She murmured:
"I've figured out what your intentions are. Doing this will disrupt the peace that Lord Mibuomi has worked so hard to establish in the Full-Bloom Association. It will hurt innocent students. I absolutely will not allow you to run amok like this."
"This is the most serious act of betrayal."
"Oh really? So what are you going to do? Go tattle?" Ougatou scoffed dismissively.
"No." Shimotsukiuri Ouri rejected that flatly:
"Things haven't reached the point where we need to trouble Mibuomi-senpai. I will personally deal with the traitors and destabilizing elements—right here and now."
"Not a single one will be spared. I'll drive all of you out!"
Her expression icy, Shimotsukiuri Ouri faced everyone and slowly turned her thumb downward:
"Let's sign a life-and-death pact! The loser will receive the most severe punishment—"
"The defeated will become the victor's livestock for life—even if they leave Hyakkaou Academy, they will never shed that status!"
"If you're too scared, then I'll have no choice but to report this to Mibuomi-senpai."
Shimotsukiuri Ouri's calm voice echoed through the baseball clubroom.
That cold, unfeeling expression of hers looked as if she wasn't wagering her own future freedom.
"Tch—who's scared of you."
The Ougatou sisters exchanged a smile, reading the indifference in each other's eyes.
Just a mere Shimotsukiuri Ouri—someone they'd never taken seriously.
Still, she might be a useful tool. If they could make her their livestock, she might come in handy.
"Since we're gambling, let's make it a five-player gamble!"
Hikigaya Hachiman's eyes narrowed. He realized something important was coming.
Ougatou Naoko turned to face Hikigaya and the others, placing a finger thoughtfully on her chin:
"I've noticed it now—Hikigaya-kun came prepared, bringing three people with him."
"I don't want to gamble with someone too weak. And since Aiura is a traitor, she's excluded."
Ougatou Naoko waved her finger disapprovingly and looked toward Jabami:
"And I've heard of you too, Jabami-san. To reduce the chances of me losing, I'll exclude you as well."
"Which means—there's only one candidate left."
