  1. In Volume 6, Cultural festival happened and every class is required to nominate 2 representatives to join the event organizing committee for the festival. 8man tried to weasel his way out by asking Totsuka to get an easy, leftover position for him, and Hikki went to take a nap in the infirmary but in his absence he became the male representative (I think it's due to sensei trying to keep him nearby, she's with the organizing committee).
  2.  
  3. For the female representative the class argued back and forth, and the class representative said something along the lines of "the female position wasn't supposed to be so troublesome (the poor girl would have to work with Hikki)", and Yui kept throwing glances at Hikki. Class representative then pushed for Yui's involvement and the bitch Sagami chipped in by saying, "Isn't it good to spend the cultural festival with someone you're close with?" while having a sneer on her face.
  4.  
  5. Miura stepped up to defend Yui and Hayato praised Sagami's abilities and she fell for it, making her the female representative instead. The rest of the classes decides to do a musical for the cultural festival in the mean time and Ebina's in charge of the script. Yukinon is also a representative as well. During a meeting with the student council, Sagami volunteered to be the overall in charge. She knew she didn't have the talent to do it but to increase her self worth she went ahead anyway.*
  6.  
  7. *Note: Sagami puts a lot of attention on a person's worth. She classifies people based on their worthiness, and thinks she's very high on the hierarchy. Sadly for her, she ended up in 2-F which had the MiuraHayato alliance who were more popular and capable than her. To put herself on top of those 2, she does stupid shit like things to increase her selfworth or she says things to put people down. In volume 5, she chanced upon Hikki and Yui going out together, and she pretended to be friendly with Yui. According to Hiiki's analysis, Sagami saw only a popular person going out with an unpopular person as "an act of charity", Hikki also noted that Sagami's smile was one that's ridiculing the both of them and she showed Hikki the same smile when she was pushing for Yui's involvement in the cultural festival. By the way, Yui doesn't like Sagami but she doesn't say it out loud.
  8.  
  9. Continuing on, Sagami is also one to surround herself with allies and form cliques (to circlejerk and increase selfworth), so she immediately establishes a clique in the organizing committee. Sagami also approached the Service Club and managed to obtain Yukinon's help despite Yui's objection. Turns out Yukinon's onee-chan Haruno used to be the head of the organizing committee back during her days so Yukinon's motivated to outdo her sister. Sagami is also shown to be irresponsible and talentless when it comes to organizing the festival, for example she didn't order the flyers for the cultural festival to be prepared as soon as possible and the public didn't know that they could perform or set up stalls during the cultural festival. So Sagami didn't do much shit and then told everyone in the committee to "relax and enjoy the festival", after which more and more people stopped dropping by the organizing committee to help out, and on the other hand more and more work are given to Yukinon, Hikki and the student council. Haruno, who's invited by the head of the student council, Meguri, is around. Both of them did some work and Hayato came to help out as well. Haruno wasn't supposed to butt in since she's a member of the public and she's only there to make arrangements for her band performance.
  10.  
  11. Meanwhile, the musical is going well and Ebina wanted Hayato and Hikki to be the main characters, but Hikki chickened out and Totsuka replaced him. Class decides to save money on costumes and Yui blurted out that Saki makes her own clothes, so Saki became the costume designer.
  12.  
  13. There's a lot of stuff to read between the lines here, like Haruno's exchange with Sagami, Hayato coming to help out and the student council president Meguri. Haruno said something along the lines of "the organizing committee it's finally shaping up", which Hikki translates to "it was shit before when Sagami was in charge". Hayato also rejected Sagami's invitation to have dinner together, and Hikki sensed something from Hayato's lines. Sagami also went to "help out 2-F and patrol" which meant she wasn't around to do her job in the organizing committee, it earned scorned from Haruno who disguised her disgust perfectly, though Hikki saw through it.
  14.  
  15. Anyway Yukinon collapsed due to the huge workload so Hikki and Yui went to visit her. Hikki wanted Hayato to go instead (things were rocky between Hikki and Yukinon) but Hayato said they needed someone capable enough to hold the fort, Hikki knew Hayato could work well with others so he relented, went to 2-F to get Yui and then head to Yukinon's house. He didn't trust Yukinon from volume 4-5 since she never said anything about running him over. In fact, one of Yukinon's favorite sentences is "I'm not one to lie" or something, but she clearly lied about not knowing Hikki even though her car ran him over. Hikki didn't trust Yukinon from then on. Yui berates Hikki for not helping Yukinon, and made the same request again, and this time Hikki decides to put in effort.
  16.  
  17. Shit nearly goes down one day when the committee met to discuss the theme of the cultural festival, long story short Hikki said it should be "Hito (人)", it looks like 1 person is supporting the other and the person who's being supported is having fun at the expense of the other. This enrages the whole committee (a lot of people didn't come by to help out) and Hikki became hated. But it worked out in the end since people saw the public enemy no.1 working hard, they wouldn't want to be below him and worked hard as well. For the theme of the festival, they decided on some retarded crap "The specialties of Chiba, dance and festivities! If you're an idiot like us then let's dance together and sing a song!!".
  18.  
  19. Hayato, Meguri were shocked by Hikki's outburst, and got angry at him. You can interpret this as them "getting angry at a dissenter" or "Hikki spoiled our plans to make Sagami a scapegoat, we wanted to install Yukinon as the true committee head". Haruno burst out laughing and Yukinon covered her face with a file, but showed Hikki her best smile and told him "rejected". So everyone left after the meeting while giving Hikki piercing looks and Meguri told Hikki "I thought you were a serious person" and left with a cold look.
  20.  
  21. On the day of the cultural festival, Sagami fumbled on the opening speech since she wasn't prepared nor did anyone prepare her for it. Rest of the festival went quite well though there were problems here and there, Yukinon did her rounds and solved all the issues that arose. She even had time to "make sure Hikki didn't slack off" on the second and closing day, both of them had a "date" while inspecting the attractions. Then, people discovered that Sagami had disappeared. The organizing committee, as per tradition, requires the overall in charge to make a closing speech and announce results of the most popular attraction (which is info only available to Sagami), but no one could find her. Hikki, Yukinon, Meguri, Haruno and so on started brainstorming, they came up with ideas like delaying the session or do it on another day. Hikki suggests letting Yukinon hand out the prizes randomly, since the info is only available to Sagami, no one will ever know the true results if Sagami kept quiet.
  22.  
  23. They decide to do it as per tradition. Hayato (+Miura), Yukinon and Haruno added in more live performances on the spot whereas Hikki got the shitty job of looking for Sagami. Hikki enlists Zaimokuza's help and runs into Saki in a corridor. Hikki realizes that the rooftop is a good place to be alone and he might find Sagami there, and asks Saki about the rooftop (Saki likes to go there). At first Saki thought Hikki's overbearing attitude was him being angry at her, and she almost cried. Saki (while blushing) tells him about the lock and stuff, Hikki rushes off and shouted "Aishiteru", then he heard a scream from behind him. Hikki then find Sagami on the rooftop, crying.
  24.  
  25. Hikki couldn't convince Sagami to return, but then Hayato and Sagami's clique appeared on the rooftop as well. They couldn't convince Sagami to do her job too, so Hikki decides on a radical solution. He insults Sagami harshly, saying things like "Your friends don't like you at all and we are the same kind of low lives. No one was actually looking for you because they want to, I'm a person who doesn't give a shit about you and I managed to find you first." Hayato got angry and tells 8man to shut up then held 8man by the collar and slammed him onto the wall, he almost punched 8man too but instead stares intensely at 8man. Sagami's face transformed from anger to shock then a look of despair and she bit down on her lower lip.
  26.  
  27. 8man took in a breath and laughed with all the strength in his body, Hayato, who was holding onto 8man, was trembling and had to take in deep breaths to calm himself. Sagami put her hand on Hayato's back and tells him to ignore 8man and leave. Hayato takes another deep breath and shakes 8man off.
  28.  
  29. Regarding 8man's thought process: He couldn't convince Sagami so he decided on the spot to realize his "edgy" ideal, which is "The world doesn't need truth, it needs a solution" so he took the self harming path and Hayato played into it. 8man also used objective facts to his advantage, which is him finding Sagami before her clique did.
  30.  
  31. "...why do I have to handle it this way?" 8man says to himself with a sigh, though the words that came out sounded jarring.
  32.  
  33. All alone on the rooftop, my body slipped down from the wall and into a sitting position.
  34.  
  35. The sky looks so high.
  36.  
  37. Hayama, thank god you're a handsome and kind person.
  38.  
  39. If you didn't flare up just now then you wouldn't be Hayama Hayato.
  40.  
  41. Hayama, you wouldn't sit still if someone got hurt right in front of your eyes. Thank goodness you're a man who wouldn't forgive someone who hurts others.
  42.  
  43. See, it's easy. --I've made a world where no one got hurt.
  44.  
  45. *One thing to note, there's something special about the door to the rooftop, there's a lock so it can't be opened from the inside, you need to jerk the lock from the outside until it loosens then you can remove it. There's a chance that Sagami might be locked up there, and Hayato being able to find Sagami in such a short time and right after his live performance is suspicious indeed. That's one of the many "evil Hayato" theories out there.
  46.  
  47. 8man went back to the auditorium and saw Yukinon, Yui, Haruno and sensei (playing a bass) performing but only manages to catch the last part. Turns out Haruno and sensei go way back and Haruno had sensei play the bass back when she was a student. Anyway Sagami did her job but fumbled on her lines yet again, and missing out on a category for the awards during the closing ceremony, but a closure is a closure, 8man claims to have helped Yukinon, Yui, the festival and completed Sagami's request (to make the festival a success with Sagami in charged).
  48.  
  49. Back to the festival, everyone decides to go to an after party (organizing committee and the class) but no one invited 8man since the rumor of him trashtalking Sagami twice already gotten out, everyone leaves and Sagami pretended 8man doesn't exist (it was a terrible attempt since she stopped talking when nearing 8man, 8man noted that this lass' ignoring powers are still green). Student council president Meguri told 8man "thanks for the hard work" (you can read between the lines again, she once said she likes how gentle 8man is, then got angry at 8man, but still is one of the few who talked to 8man at the end, so did she like 8man or not? Interpret it yourself)
  50.  
  51. Someone started talking to 8man and asked if he planned everything, then says that 8man saved everyone and the festival, 8man denied the praises and said he had help from Hayato (read: manipulated Hayato, important in vol 7) and the voice tells 8man that he's only being humble. Turns out the voice belongs to Haruno, and Yukinon told her to go home, but Haruno said something along the lines of "I like Hikigaya-kun's heroism, it's a waste to pair him with Yukino-chan" (you can take it as it is, but Haruno is one of the character whom you cannot trust at all, most, if not all of her lines have a deeper meaning, also, she's a twofaced person). 8man complimented Yukinon for her performance and Yukinon blushed and stuttered while talking to 8man and then the sisters went off.
  52.  
  53. Sensei tells 8man that he did a magnificent job but became a scapegoat in Sagami's place, but it's not something that should be complimented.
  54.  
  55. She hold his face with her hands (so 8man can't look away) and said, "Hikigaya, helping others doesn't mean you should inflict harm on yourself even though you know you can easily shrug it off."
  56.  
  57. There's a hint of tobacco in the air, and the soft fingers doesn't complement the smell. Those eyes have a faint moisture in them and it's as if they could see into the depths of a person's heart.
  58.  
  59. "Well, it didn't hurt me at all."
  60.  
  61. She holds 8man by the shoulder and says, "...even if you're used to it, but seeing you getting hurt will hurt others as well, you need to be aware of this from now on."
  62.  
  63. She pats my shoulders a few times.
  64.  
  65. "The lecture's over, now go."
  66.  
  67. "Okay..."
  68.  
  69. With a reply that doesn't constitute a complete sentence, I turned to the direction of my class.
  70.  
  71. Though I can still feel the gentle look from the eyes seeing me off before I make the turn to the corridors.
  72.  
  73. After that they went off, and 8man wanted to complete his report (that's his job in the organizing committee, paperwork) so he went to the Service Club where he can find peace. Turns out Yukinon's there, so they just do their own work quietly.
  74.  
  75. "Hey Yukinoshita, can you..."
  76.  
  77. "Sorry, I can't."
  78.  
  79. "But I didn't even complete my sentence."
  80.  
  81. "I've said it before. We can never be friends."
  82.  
  83. "Okay..."
  84.  
  85. "Yes, I'm not a person who tell lies." (Yukinon's favorite line, also reading between the lines might tell you something, I assume that Yukinon already consider them as friends or even more, that's why the fallout in vol 7 was even worse) Yui appears later on to interrupt them, and tells them to attend the after party, though both of them rejected that notion, with 8man claiming that he has to work on the report (liar, last line of the volume says he's actually done).
  86.  
  87. End of vol 6, what happens after is in the drama CD that's bundled with vol 7.
