Kapitel 16: Kushida Kikyo Interest in Yuri with Horikita Suzune?
After leaving the first-year office, Hikigaya stopped by a convenience store to buy a bread roll with his points before heading back to the classroom.
Since it was lunchtime, the students were all enjoying themselves and playing around.
In stark contrast to the more disciplined atmosphere of other classes, Class D was visibly laid-back and extravagant. Some girls were flaunting their newly purchased cosmetics, while some boys were showing off their latest gaming consoles...
In this overly lively and chaotic environment, Hikigaya quietly returned to his seat without drawing any attention.
During this, he glanced at the vacant seat behind him.
Horikita must have gone to lunch...
"So, what should I do next?"
His mind replayed the events in the office at an unusually slow pace.
As Hikigaya munched on his bread, he pondered how to probe the other students in the class and approach the student council president, Horikita Manabu.
"Speaking of which, both of them share the surname Horikita. There must be some connection..."
Suddenly, a female voice interrupted his thoughts from behind.
"Are you discussing me in secret?"
Startled, Hikigaya turned around to find Horikita Suzune standing right behind him, her usual icy gaze fixed on him.
"Uh, you're done with lunch already?"
"Yes, unlike someone like you who can only eat alone."
"Your comment makes it sound like someone was eating with you."
"I simply prefer being alone."
Horikita Suzune spoke with a calm tone, her voice unwavering and reflecting her firm belief in her preference for solitude.
Seeing her composed demeanor, Hikigaya couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Horikita, would you be willing to become the class representative of Class D?"
"Are you trying to scare me with some horror story?"
Horikita Suzune's voice became even colder than before.
Hikigaya felt a shiver as her sadistic side seemed to intensify.
What is this, a super Saiyan of sadism?!
Hikigaya, trembling in front of Horikita Suzune, shook his head and decided to drop the topic. It was clear that Horikita Suzune had no interest in becoming a class leader and was even somewhat averse to the idea.
This was something Hikigaya had anticipated.
However, the fact that the class adviser, Chabashira Sae, did not oppose the idea suggested that there might be some potential.
According to her, the key figure in this matter was the current student council president, Horikita Manabu...
"Horikita, are you interested in joining the student council?"
By some strange impulse, Hikigaya asked Horikita Suzune a question that nearly crossed the line.
Almost immediately, Horikita Suzune's expression visibly stiffened, and a hint of panic and fear flashed across her face.
However, she quickly masked her reaction and said nonchalantly, "Sorry, I have no interest in becoming a student council member, nor do I want to get involved in the bureaucratic struggles of such an organization."
"You're quite calm. By the way, is it okay to compare the student council to a bureaucratic organization?"
Hikigaya's words carried a double meaning, and from Horikita Suzune's brief reaction, he confirmed that she had a deep connection with Horikita Manabu.
It seemed that to make Horikita Suzune the class leader, he would first need to investigate the student council president, Horikita Manabu...
"You're Hikigaya, right?" A clear, cheerful voice interrupted his thoughts.
"You are..."
Surprised, Hikigaya turned around, only to be met with the sight of a sizable breast straining against the buttons of a school uniform... Isn't this girl, Kushida Kikyo?
How does she know my name?
As a flurry of thoughts raced through his mind, Hikigaya's gaze finally settled on Kushida's face.
She was a girl with short brown hair, wearing her skirt at the shortest allowable length, looking like the dream girl of many boys.
To be honest, even Hikigaya, a socially withdrawn shut-in, felt a bit of a stir.
"I'm Kushida Kikyo from the same class. Do you remember me? We met on the bus."
Kushida Kikyo addressed Hikigaya with an unusually friendly attitude. "I remember you kindly gave up your seat back then. Thank you very much."
"No need to thank me. I've always enjoyed helping out, like assisting old ladies across the street or even jaywalking," Hikigaya responded seriously.
"Hahaha, you're amusing."
Kushida seemed genuinely entertained by Hikigaya's response.
Yet, Hikigaya felt that her smile was more of a facade. As someone who had observed people for years, he could recognize a genuine smile, with its subtle movements and expressions.
Kushida lacked these nuances; her smile seemed more like a gesture to fit in with the atmosphere or some form of politeness.
"By the way, how did you know my name?"
Hikigaya hadn't introduced himself, so he didn't expect anyone in the class to know him.
"Well, I checked the class seating chart and memorized everyone's names!" Kushida Kikyo answered with a grin.
"Wow..."
Hikigaya was taken aback.
Despite Kushida's casual attitude, her ability to do something as extreme as memorizing names indicated she was not an ordinary person.
Are there too many oddballs in this class?
As Hikigaya chatted "cheerfully" with Kushida, Horikita Suzune beside him couldn't help but frown, clearly uncomfortable with the situation.
She took out a book from her drawer and began reading it on her own.
Seeing this, Kushida's expression subtly changed, revealing her dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Although she managed to hide her feelings well, Hikigaya noticed it.
It seemed she wasn't interested in talking to him but had approached him to get closer to Horikita Suzune.
A subtle thought crossed his mind—
Could it be that Kikyo Kushida wants to start a Yuri relationship with Horikita Suzune?
