Chapter 45: Arrogant girl
Ayanokōji confessed that he never hated anyone since childhood because it was just a senseless feeling.
But when confronted by Hikigaya Hachiman, Ayanokōji always felt a strong urge to swear.
Before, you could say that he was boring, but this time he was holding on to the piano for no reason.
It always seems to me that this guy is deliberately trying to find fault...
"Hikigaya, leave it alone.
At this time, President Horikita seemed to see Ayanokōji's embarrassment and took the initiative to help him out of the siege.
"You just saw this scene, what are you going to do?"
"What should I do?" Hikigaya had an inexplicable expression on his face, "Buchou, you defeated Ayanokouji, it's not me, so I don't care."
Ayanokouji: "..."
Strictly speaking, Ayanokōji wasn't hit, but it would be foolish to refute it at the moment, so he could only remain silent.
"Well, it really surprised me that the student council president actually beat up the freshmen."
Hikigaya suddenly smiled and then said, "Also, you chose a place without a camera to commit violence, and you always taught me to pay attention to my position as a student council member, but you yourself… are violating your own teachings. What a pity."
"...What do you want?"
Horikita Manabu's face was expressionless, but deep down, this strange combination of mockery made him uncomfortable.
Initially it was a whim and he wanted to try out Ayanokōji's skills, but the student council president didn't expect to run into the most troublesome boy in school.
After more than a month of observing and interacting with Horikita, Manabu believes that he is Hikigaya a good enough person. Much better, at least, than the yellow-haired one he had brought with him, who only had ability but no character.
But it is not clear if this is because he has been interacting with Haruno for a long time, this guy sometimes shows a bad temper, not paying attention to the attitude towards teachers and high school students.
Although such a fearless personality is exactly what President Horikita needs, he wants Hikigaya to control and balance the next student council president after he graduates, not deal with him!
Hikigaya innocently said, "Why does it feel like the president is implying that I'm threatening you?"
"... How about using pocket money as payment for silence?"
Horikita's biggest fear is that he won't say anything, and there will definitely be trouble in the future.
And this year, class D received zero points. Given that Hikigaya also needs living expenses, one could gag him with points.
But Horikita didn't know that the current Hikigaya was a bit rich, so he didn't care about such a small amount of money.
However, when it comes to paying for silence, he wants one.
"President, you also had a quiz when you were in first grade. How did you like the last three questions? Are they too complicated?
"...What do you want?"
"I want to ask you to give me the quizzes for the previous and last year for reference."
"?!"
Not only Horikita Manubu but also Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Horikita Suzune reacted to the hikigai's words, and they both seemed to be more or less aware of his intentions.
"It's enough?" Horikita looked at his sister indifferently, "The other one... don't you need it?"
"No, I'm only interested in the last three questions."
"This is true..."
Horikita Manabu stopped asking questions, nodded slightly, and said, "Alright, tomorrow is lunch break… No, come to the student council room after class tomorrow and I'll give it to you there."
"Huh? Can you take a picture of this with your cell phone and send it to me?" Hikigaya asked strangely.
"...Anyway, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow."
Without giving Hikigaya a chance to protest, Horikita Manabu turned and looked at his sister.
"Suzune, I really didn't expect you to have friends. To be honest, I was very surprised."
"They are not..."
"Buchou, you misunderstood," Hikigaya Horikita interrupted, "your sister and I are not friends, but Ayanokouji seems to be her friend."
"No, I'm not like that either.
Ayanokouji was probably infected by Hikigaya, hastily denied it.
"..."
These two guys left Horikita speechless, so he finally had to utter the line: "Suzune, it looks like you are still the same, if you want to rise to the upper class, you must fight hard. Goodbye."
Having said this, he simply left without looking back.
The reason why he left in such a hurry was mainly because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to contain his anger if he didn't leave and that he would hit Hikigaya violently.
After Horikita Manabu left, only three patients with severe social disabilities remained at the scene.
How should I put it... Hikigaya is terribly embarrassed.
Buchou was fine when he was here, he was familiar after all, but he, Ayanokouji, and the younger Horikita didn't say a word, so he really didn't know what to use at a time like this.
Ah, is it enough just to smile?
...forget it, let's go back.
"Then I first..."
"Wait a minute!"
Horikita Suzune called out to him suddenly for some unknown reason, but this woman still didn't know what to say next.
"I didn't expect you to actually know your brother.
"...Why can't I know him?"
"That's not what I meant, I just didn't expect your relationship with your brother to be like this…"
After the conversation, Horikita suddenly changed her words, "I didn't expect you to be so impolite when talking to my brother, and it's hard to understand how my brother tolerates you."
- Are you jealous? Hikigaya deliberately provoked her.
In fact, when Hikigaya and Horikita got along, they always talked like that.
Although Horikita Manabu looks a little cold and ruthless, he is actually an easy to get along with high school student and usually doesn't care about trivial things, so you can tease him all you want.
To be honest, if it weren't for the inappropriateness of the scene, Hikigaya would really like to tease President Horikita some more.
I just love seeing that envy look on his little sister's face!
However, Horikita did not show the expected shame or anger, but simply lowered her head with a complex expression.
...Bad, this woman seems more inferior than Hikigaya thought.
But it's no surprise that the older Horikita is the Student Council President with absolute power, but as his little sister, she was class D, so it's normal to feel inferior.
Although it has nothing to do with Hikigaya, he can understand the feeling.
As well as his relationship with Komachi.
Hikigaya has been lonely since childhood, but Komachi is the complete opposite: wherever she goes, she is greeted by those around her and is a very good little sister.
But even such a Hikigaya had already mastered what Horikita was striving for.
This is the care and company of a younger sister (brother).
"Horikita, actually, I always wanted to ask you a question.
Maybe it's just Hikigae's curiosity, but he decides to do it anyway.
"Aren't you some kind of illegitimate daughter whose stepmother is fighting for power in the family?"
"...What a foolish thing to say."
"Yes, judging by the looks of you and the President, you must be biological," Hikigaya nodded, "So why are you trembling in front of the President? Since you are siblings, be more at ease when you interact."
Horikita Suzune laughed at herself, "I'm different from you, I can't be like you no matter what."
"Why can't it be done?"
To Hikigaya's rhetorical question, Horikita didn't say a word, but Hikigaya didn't want to stop just like that.
"Could it be that in your mind the president is a person who looks down on the weak? You are obviously the younger sister, but you don't know the president at all."
"You, you shut up! What do you know!"
Finally, Horikita broke down and screamed.
"How long have you been with your brother, don't talk like you know him well!"
"No, I'm sure I know better than you," Hikigaya said without hesitation, "at least in my opinion, the president doesn't hate you at all, it's just that you built a wall in your heart and never tried to understand anything." You have not seen the real face of your brother, and what you are chasing is exactly the brother you imagined in your imagination."
—— Just like Yukinoshita.
Horikita looked at him with wide eyes.
"Of course, I know that this step will be difficult, but you can even say stupid things like "transfer class D to class A", I don't think it's more difficult than having a good relationship with the family. "
After saying that, Hikigaya felt that everything was said and left without saying a word.
Other actions will only have the opposite effect, and the rest can be left to Horikita to think slowly.
In other words, the president is also wrong, it would be better if he opened up a little in communication, otherwise it won't be like that today.
This arrogant girl is really troublesome enough when it comes to her brother!
Chapter 46: Jealousy of fools
"Oh, what the hell am I doing..."
Remembering what happened last night, Hikigaya Hachiman's face turned red for a while.
In order to ease the relationship between Horikita's siblings, he had a fiery head and said many things that were completely out of his style.
He didn't feel anything at first, but after Hikigaya returned to the bedroom, he gradually realized how embarrassing what was said.
This made him roll on the bed for a long time, wanting to die.
No, now is not the time to think about it.
Hikigaya shook his head and threw the whole mess away.
The most important thing now is to tell the class that the topic of the history exam is wrong.
But... how should I say it?
The usual way is to stand on the podium and announce to the class what they have found, and then they will all stand together against Chabashira-sensei, and then there will be no problems.
With Hikigaya's personality, this is impossible.
If he could do that, he could make friends.
What exactly should I do...
Thinking about it, Hikigaya can only rely on Matsushita next door.
After all, she was the one to talk to in class.
Saying this, Hikigaya blushed a little. He obviously wanted to stay away from Matsushita, but he could only rely on her when something happened... It was really embarrassing.
When Hikigaya entered the classroom, he found that Matsushita had arrived and was talking to a friend.
However, Hikigaya felt he was in no hurry to go anywhere anyway, so he was going to be the first to return to his seat.
Suddenly, when Matsushita saw him, he waved his hand and said, "Good morning, Hikigaya-kun."
"...Good morning."
- Hey, don't say hello to me in front of your friends!
Hikigaya's face tightened and he instantly felt several eyes fixed on him, especially Matsushita's friends who weren't going to hide the mockery in their eyes.
Oh really, just be a little more careful.
This reminds Hikigae that when he was in middle school, although Yuyugahama greeted him in class, he usually didn't talk in class, avoiding many unnecessary misunderstandings.
If only Matsushita Chiaki could be smarter.
Of course, it's also possible that Matsushita herself doesn't care about such things, but Hikigaya still doesn't want to cause trouble for her.
But in this way, should we, through Matsushita, tell the whole class about the scope of the test questions?
That would be a problem, right?
At the very least, it would be difficult to explain.
As Hikigaya became confused, Matsushita looked at his expression and asked, "Hikigaya-kun, is there anything you want to tell me?"
Hm? Can you read minds too?
Hikigaya was shocked, but Matsushita also mastered this skill.
By the way, there are too many people around him who can read minds. Should I buy a Magneto helmet and put it on?
"Actually..."
"No need for extra words! Tell me honestly!"
Suddenly, as soon as he said three words, he was interrupted by two unexpected guys.
"...what?"
I saw Ikyo and Yamauchi running aggressively and immediately surrounded him.
Hikigaya didn't know what was going on with those two idiots, but thanks to their movement, the entire class was now focused.
"We saw you and Shiina-chan having dinner together yesterday, hurry up and explain!"
"Charge him to death now!"
"And the two of you sit on the same side intimately!"
"Go to hell!"
Ikyo and Yamauchi roared in pain, almost bleeding and crying.
... have you seen me?
But no wonder when you think about it, Hikigaya and Shiina had no intention of hiding anything and sat by the window.
By the way, are these two guys supposed to be so exaggerated?
Although Hikigaya could understand their thoughts, he still felt they were disgusting.
That jealous look is really ugly.
If Hirata and the girl went out to dinner together, they would at best fight in private.
But if Hikigaya were to replace him, envy and hatred would not be able to hold back.
The reason is simple.
It's nothing but thinking that the baddest guy in the class can hang out with girls and their status is clearly above him, but no girls care about them and they feel like the world is too unfair.
Therefore, they want to re-show their status through verbal suppression, and by the way, they can also warn the other side not to be too arrogant.
Hikigaya saw such people so many times when he was in middle school, and it's no wonder.
He was the only one in the club with Yukinoshita and Yuigahama, so the boys often came to ask questions and sometimes used verbal threats to restrain and warn him, reminding him to pay attention to his status.
The funny thing is that these guys did not dare to confess at all.
Sometimes there are a few brave people who show a doomsday expression after being rejected, which really makes people want to take photos and upload them to the internet.
"Me and Shiina are just friends who study together, and you should be more worried about being expelled from school than my life."
Hikigaya casually said a few words and then returned to his seat despite their noise.
However, the movement in the classroom did not subside.
"This Shiina is from Class C, right? I've seen her before, she's a very sweet girl."
"Yeah, I think I saw her walking with Hikigaya and I thought I was wrong then."
"It's horrible! Shiina-san has too bad taste."
"Could it be that Hikigaya got a pen?"
The gossip in the classroom continued until the bell rang.
"Hikigaya-kun, are you okay?" Matsushita looked at him worriedly.
"No, it's nothing."
Hikigaya had long been accustomed to the viciousness of others, not to mention that he knew that he and Shiina weren't right for each other. They never thought about it and were just friends.
It is a pity that these guys are like first-graders in the class, they like to joke everywhere, and their mental age has not grown at all.
"By the way, what did you want to tell me now?" Matsushita asked.
"...Sorry, I suddenly forgot," Hikigaya smiled sheepishly, "It's just a trifle, I'll tell you when I think about it."
Go to hell, trash!
You deserve to fall into Chabashira-sensei's trap!
After scolding a few words in his heart, Hikigaya immediately felt much calmer.
drip-
At that moment, a text message beep sounded from the mobile phone.
Hikigaya opened it and saw that it was actually Shiina who sent it.
Shiina: [Sorry Hikigaya-kun, I disturbed you, can you come at noon if it's convenient? ]
Shiina: [Ryuuen-kun said he wants to see you]
Shiina: [Of course, if it's inconvenient, I'll change, no need to force! ]
... Kakeru Ryuuen?
Hikigaya was stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
Looks like this guy is finally going to do something.
I hope he doesn't disappoint.
