My elite romantic comedy is wrong, as I expected.

VOL 3 Chapter 20 The fool

Hachiman POV

The first sensation I feel when I regain consciousness is muscle pain, in addition to the extreme fatigue I have accumulated.

It was to be expected, I was moving like a monkey for seven days, also if we count the hours of sleep I skipped, it makes it a pretty serious condition.

I open my eyes that meets an unfamiliar ceiling, I realize I'm in a bed, that's when I realize I'm on the boat.

It looks like it's all over now. I hope my effort has not been in vain. Quite a few things have happened that I didn't expect.

I leave the room, I can see that the students are spending their free time quietly.

I go out to one of the bows, it's night, I've been asleep for quite a while.
The night breeze refreshes me, I still feel tired, in fact, I think it would be better if I stayed in bed.

While I'm enjoying the night, someone approaches, I look to the side to see who it is, it's Kiyotaka.

Kiyotaka: You woke up, that's good.

Hachiman: That's right, thanks for picking me up back on the island, I would have been in a tight spot if it hadn't been for you.

Kiyotaka: You're pretty reckless.

Hachiman: You think so? I think I use the best option that favors me. So? How did it go?

Kiyotaka: You should know by now, we finished first with 295 points, now I understand why you tried so hard to claim places.

Hachiman: I see, I would still only score 80 points at most, did you guess the leaders?

Kiyotaka: Why are you sure it was me?

My blank stare makes him take back his words.

Kiyotaka: Okay, yes it was me, but you also knew the identity of the leaders, so I'm going to ask you back, If you knew them, why didn't you say anything?

Hachiman: It was very risky, I was only 60% sure of my theory, I could not risk losing a hundred points, basically I would lose all the work I did.

Kiyotaka: It's true, it was a risky move, in any case, you will have to deal with our classmates, because I said it was you, who was responsible for the victory.

Hachiman: Great, more work, hey damn you're not ashamed to leave the work to others.

Kiyotaka: That should be my line, mister "I have to physically overdo it until I pass out."

Hachiman: You say it like I do it on purpose.

His blank stare tells me everything, he hit me back.

Hachiman: I understand, I understand, I overdid it in this test.

The physical limits I set for myself this time were pretty big, but I'm a little ashamed, because if I had continued training, this shit would have been too easy, I really am miserable. I must get back to my old habits.

Kiyotaka: you're going to have to deal with everyone's concern too, I already sent a message to the group, that you woke up.

Hachiman: Tch, traitor.

Kiyotaka: You reap what you sow.
I was expecting you to call them a little later, I need to think a little about the situation.

In about two minutes that pass, the Hikigaya group arrives, Ken and Akito look good, Haruka is panting quite a bit and Airi is the one in the worst physical condition, so she arrives exhausted placing her hands on her knees.
