Hikigaya's Route to Senior High Is Not Normal, As I Expected

Hachiman's POV

...

There was a lot of stuff that had happened in the past weekend.

It started on Saturday when Hachiman was working with Sudou, Ike, and Yamauchi in the library. As usual, Shiina had accompanied Hachiman, and wanted to study with them.

However, the first problem occurred when Shiina pointed something else out.

"Hey Hikigaya?" Shiina's voice rang Hachiman's ears as he turned to face her.

"Yes?"

"Did you know that the teachers apparently decided to change the content that would be on the midterm?" Shiina asked.

This question alone caused Ike, Yamauchi, and Sudou to raise their heads up, seeing the surprise look on their faces.

Hachiman shook his head, "No, I wasn't informed by my teacher."

Shiina looked confused, "Huh, our teacher informed us of the change on Friday. How come you all weren't informed?"

This seemed to make the remaining boys a bit angered, as Hachiman looked on. He immediately looked at Sudou, eying him to temper down his anger.

Regardless, he then went to Shiina. "Can you give us the format of what content will be on the midterm, according to your teacher?"

Shiina nodded, "Of course, I'd be glad to help Hikigaya however I can."

Hachiman deadpanned at Shiina's response, but he nodded, glad that someone was willing to help him.

Hachiman then turned to the three, "You three enjoy your day until evening, I'll brief you all on what is to be expected. However, considering we've been focused based on what is being taught, I don't think this change will affect us. Let's just take this news as a pathway forward to follow."

Sudou nodded, as Ike and Yamauchi immediately left clearly going to do their own thing, whether it is staring at girls, Hachiman didn't care, unless it was Shiina. She was too innocent to be stared at by perverts.

In the end, Hachiman immediately made his way towards Sae. This time, however, he decided to opt for something else.

Instead of Sae he would speak to, he would speak to her best friend. Who was often drunk.

Hachiman would just need to figure out what would be the appropriate time for Chie to be drunk.

Hachiman had already been given 8,000 private points, so now he had around 840,000 private points. All the while Hachiman looked on; he needed some kind of information.

Sae has historically not been given strategic or crucial information for Hachiman regarding information he wants to know.

Therefore, he needs to target her more vulnerable friend.

"That sounds so wrong..." Hachiman thought. Regardless, he knew Chie would likely give him more information, especially when drunk, compared to Sae.

And so, Hachiman knew that Chie would most likely be drunk during the weekends or the leadup to the weekends.

The office would be one of the safer places for Chie to theoretically drink however she wants.
