Opposite.
Ichinose Kanon clearly understood this point.
Wanting to make the Student Council Vice President drop out across grades was not an easy task in itself.
And there was only one year before the third year graduated.
It was truly too slow.
Waiting until graduation meant there would be no more chance to save her sister; who knows what might happen.
Wanting Hikigaya and her sister to separate.
It could only be done now.
She had to rescue her sister.
"Phew..."
Ichinose Kanon took a deep breath and looked at the Hikigaya before her with a determined aura.
"I understand. Then I also propose a plan. I can become your girlfriend or a friend with benefits—it doesn't matter. As long as you leave my sister's side, how about it?"
Hikigaya's expression did not change.
Rather.
It was within expectations.
This was the type Komachi called easy to fool; she really seemed easy to fool.
Narrow vision.
Actions tend to be extreme.
Somewhat like Horikita Suzune at the start of school, but there were also different parts.
"Why go to such lengths for your sister?"
Hikigaya probed with his words.
"Nothing to do with you."
"Actually, you don't need to do this..."
"Don't play dumb. Isn't your goal my sister's body? This should be a good proposal."
Ichinose Kanon slapped the table and stood up, staring at the Hikigaya in front of her.
She completely believed her judgment.
The person in front of her was a lecherous piece of scum.
Feeling Ichinose's sister's gaze, Hikigaya didn't say much; this person was no longer listening to anyone.
Furthermore.
He was already identified as an enemy by the other party; there were no conditions for communication.
"Indeed, it is a good condition."
Hikigaya followed her words and nodded: "In short, let's exchange contact info first. I still need to consider it. Once I've thought it over... well, I'll contact you within two days, how about it?"
"What else is there to consider?"
"Making a move on a first-year at the start of school might affect my reputation, don't you think?"

Hikigaya said nonchalantly.
Only by showing the side the other party expected could Ichinose Kanon accept it.
"Tch, truly a piece of scum. This is my contact info. Contact me within two days; otherwise, no matter what means I use, I will definitely make you disappear from my sister's side."
Ichinose Kanon left a slip of paper and turned to leave.
Even at this point, he was still considering his reputation—acting like a whore while wanting a monument to his chastity.
Hikigaya's performance matched expectations; he was a true piece of scum.
Only in this way could she quickly accept it.
Such a base and shameful thing—she believed Hikigaya wouldn't let her sister know either.
As long as this was the case.
Hikigaya would leave her sister's side, and her sister would be saved because of it. As for herself, she didn't consider it at all.
As long as her sister could be saved.
What did her own body matter?
Night.
Ichinose's dorm.
Hikigaya immediately told Ichinose about this.
"I met your sister... the incident was like this..."
"Kanon she... how is this possible?"
Ichinose's eyes were dazed, and she was immediately shaken.
She had considered that this relationship might not be supported by family, but she didn't expect Ichinose Kanon to go this far.
Even sacrificing herself just to make her leave Hikigaya's side.
But why?
"Honami, do you have any clues?"
"No..."
Ichinose covered her forehead with complexity:
"Could it be that you, Hikki, got the person wrong... Kanon, although she's occasionally mischievous, should be a more cheerful and gentle person."
"Impossible... she also admitted to being your sister."
Hikigaya took a sip of black tea.
Clearly, Ichinose Kanon was far from the sister in Ichinose's impression.
After all, they hadn't seen each other for two years.
Some changes were completely normal.
But this change was indeed too large.
"However..."
Looking at the somewhat bitter Ichinose, Hikigaya comforted her:
"I have a rough guess. Honami, I'll ask your sister to meet the day after tomorrow. At that time, have a good talk with Kanon."
"A guess?"
"Yeah."
Hikigaya explained his guess roughly.
Then let the two sisters communicate properly; after all, they are family, so there shouldn't be a problem.
At night.
Hikigaya dialed Ichinose Kanon's number.
"Pardon me, who is this?"
Except for him, Ichinose Kanon was actually quite polite.
"It's me."
"So it's you. And the result?"
Hearing this.
Hearing Hikigaya's voice.
Ichinose Kanon's voice quickly turned cold; there was no need for a good face toward this despicable scum.
"I've thought it over."
Hikigaya turned to look at Ichinose and nodded:
"Come to my dorm the night after tomorrow. But remember, this matter cannot let your sister know; otherwise, you know what will happen to your sister, right?"
"I know without you telling me."
After speaking.
Ichinose Kanon coldly hung up the phone.
As expected, he's a scum aiming for her sister's body; as expected, he agreed so easily.
As for the reason for not telling her sister, it naturally didn't need to be said.
This was actually more beneficial for her too.
After all.
She also didn't want her sister to know about her actions.
Next.
It was to consider whether to record it or report it to the school.
Harassing women.
He would surely be expelled by the school.
However.
After hesitating again and again.
Ichinose Kanon still decided to drop it.
After all, reporting also carried a certain risk.
In case this matter was also led by the Student Council and couldn't make Hikigaya drop out, or if Hikigaya sensed her intention and reneged.
It would be somewhat not worth the loss.
As long as her sister could be saved, it didn't matter what happened to her.
But.
She still had to find a way to grasp some evidence.
Evidence used to restrain Hikigaya to avoid him not keeping his promise was indispensable, but Ichinose Kanon still had no clue how to do it.
In the room on the other side.
Ichinose, who originally didn't quite believe it, was suddenly somewhat conflicted.
"Kanon..."
"It's fine."
Hikigaya sat beside Ichinose and patted her little head.
"Although I've only met her once, I feel that person's character isn't bad; she's just a bit stuck in a dead end. As long as you communicate properly, I believe she will surely be able to understand."
"Will she?"
"Definitely, I promise."
Hikigaya nodded forcefully.
Getting Komachi's understanding was easy, but getting their family's understanding would probably not be that easy.
But no matter what, he wouldn't let go.
Although it was difficult to judge Ichinose Kanon's strength from just one meeting, it was indeed true that she seemed easy to fool.
It's really worrying.
