Kapitel 112: -111- Someone unexpected?
"What... do you mean?"
Kouenji Rokusuke's question made Hori raise an eyebrow while also displaying an intriguing expression.
Because...
"Are you finally interested in class matters, Kouenji?"
This was truly a significant event.
With Kouenji Rokusuke's self-centered personality, he didn't even care about the class, let alone the school itself.
Didn't Chabashira Sae reveal that Advanced Nurturing High School is a meritocracy, and Kouenji Rokusuke said something like that?
"I acknowledge, affirm, respect, and admire myself more than anyone else, considering myself a great person. Even if the school gives me a rating like 'D,' it's meaningless to me. Even if they want to expel me, it doesn't matter because they'll come crying to me afterward."
That's why Ayanokouji Kiyotaka described Kouenji Rokusuke as an uncontrollable monster.
Because there's no way to control this narcissistic man whose actions are solely to satisfy his own aesthetics.
And now, this man who doesn't even care about the school suddenly cares about the class?
If it's not a significant event, then what is it?
Of course, the sky has never fallen.
So, it's just as impossible for Kouenji Rokusuke to care about the class.
"Nanaya Boy, don't pretend to be clueless. Even though my noble thoughts are hard to predict, you should understand what I mean."
With a proud smile, Kouenji Rokusuke said so.
"I'm just slightly interested in the future journey and couldn't help but want to share it with someone."
In other words, Kouenji Rokusuke asked Hori this question not because he agreed with Hori but because Hori happened to be there when Kouenji Rokusuke felt like sharing with someone.
That's his style.
Hori doesn't mind this self-centered personality.
There are plenty of ways to deal with things that are openly displayed like this, without fear or hesitation, just calmly facing them.
That has always been Hori's philosophy.
So, faced with Kouenji Rokusuke's question, Hori casually replied.
"Well, if you ask me, it's not hard to guess what the school plans to have us do next."
This statement finally made Kouenji Rokusuke take Hori seriously.
"Well, then, tell me, Nanaya Boy."
Kouenji Rokusuke urged Hori to continue speaking, like a chairman encouraging his subordinates to speak freely.
Hori shrugged and said,
"In fact, the school has given us many hints, haven't they?"
Like the plan for this trip.
Or the destination of this trip.
"A two-week trip, spending the first week on the island and the second week on the ship, and we're about to head to that island."
And the school has already said.
"It's an uninhabited island." Hori looked at Kouenji Rokusuke and said, "Thinking about spending a week on an uninhabited island, it's pretty obvious what the school will have us do, isn't it?"
At this, Kouenji Rokusuke burst into hearty laughter.
"Indeed, Nanaya Boy, even as an ordinary person, you're much more interesting than those useless guys in the class."
Kouenji Rokusuke's positioning of Hori was thus established.
That is, among ordinary people, Hori is the more interesting one.
As for those who are not ordinary?
Sorry.
In Kouenji Rokusuke's eyes, except for himself, everyone else is ordinary.
"If you have nowhere to go in the future, you can come with me, Nanaya Boy."
Kouenji Rokusuke opened his arms, sounding both enthusiastic and fearless.
"I am destined to be the future of Japan, the heir of the Kouenji conglomerate. At that time, I can let you be my assistant, helping me solve the problems that ordinary people should solve. Feel honored."
After saying these words, Kouenji Rokusuke didn't wait for Hori's reply before flicking his hair again.
"Alright, let's end this interesting conversation here. Physical exercise is enough. Next, I'm going to the swimming pool to show off the beauty of this body."
"Goodbye, Nanaya Boy."
"Here I come, beautiful girls."
With these words, Kouenji Rokusuke left the room without even putting on his clothes, wearing only his swimsuit.
Coincidentally, someone walked into the room.
The person who entered was Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.
"Hmm?"
Seeing the two almost collide at the door, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka reflexively stepped aside.
"Be careful when walking, Ayanokouji Boy."
Kouenji Rokusuke didn't even bother to move and just walked out with that fearless smile on his face.
Presumably, in Kouenji Rokusuke's dictionary, there's never the word "make way," right?
"Ah, I'm so beautiful!"
With a blissful laugh, Kouenji Rokusuke left the room and headed toward the rooftop swimming pool.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka could only watch Kouenji Rokusuke leave, making an emotionless remark.
"Kouenji is still the same. I really admire his ability to ignore others to this extent."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka could only sigh like this.
But indeed.
To be able to ignore others to such an extent, that's already beyond the level of making people angry, it can only be admired, right?
Hori glanced at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, casually saying,
"After dodging like that, are you planning to hide back in your room now?"
Regarding Hori's words, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka scratched his head.
"You know, I dislike troublesome things."
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka said so.
However, sometimes, even if you dislike trouble, trouble insists on finding you.
Just as Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was about to walk back to his bed, his phone suddenly rang.
"An email?"
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka was slightly surprised and then took out his phone.
The next moment, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka fell silent.
"What's wrong?" Hori still seemed casual, asking, "Did someone invite you?"
"...Yeah." Ayanokouji Kiyotaka put away his phone and said expressionlessly, "And it's someone unexpected."
After saying this, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka didn't elaborate further. After saying "I'll be back in a moment," he left the room again.
Watching Ayanokouji Kiyotaka's departing figure, Hori also took out his phone, but instead of checking emails, he opened the personal points balance interface.
There, Hori's personal points balance was displayed.
— "2488450".
A quite astonishing number.
Staring at this balance, a slight smile crept onto Hori's lips.
"So, what will happen next?"
The only thing certain is that it will definitely be interesting.
Definitely.
