It's better to say that he is already very proactive in looking for a long-term meal ticket to bet on.
It seems that maybe he can be a little thicker-skinned next time.
"Come to think of it, Hikigaya-kun is still being misunderstood as dating Horikita-san!" Kushida excitedly reopened the old wound.
Regarding this topic, Hachiman no longer wants to explain.
Because no one would believe it even if he did.
"But, isn't Hikigaya-kun planning to take things further with Horikita-san?"
Um??? What is this girl saying?
"Because Horikita-san also expressed her desire to be promoted to Class A, and now that it has been promoted, she has achieved her goal...So, I thought Horikita-san would definitely ask you out!"
Hachiman felt like he was just being spat on by Kushida, even looked down upon....this kind of feeling is tragic.
Look, she quickly denied it, "Hmm, but I don't think she has this awareness..."
"• ×" Hachiman really wanted to keep his mouth shut, because in fact, Suzune still has this awareness.
Because she treated him to dinner the night before, in her dormitory.
Celebrated the successful promotion.
However, this behavior should have nothing to do with love.
"But what she said to you in class before really sounded like a confession at first glance," Kushida for some reason is doubting his love affairs very much.
It was referring to what Suzune had said directly to Hachiman in class that she needed him, no matter who he was.
It sounds like a confession, but it's more like finding a tool.
And Kushida is good at discerning the atmosphere, so she can see that it is definitely not a confession.
So what does Horikita Suzune, a serious girl, look like when she falls in true love?
Slightly interested.
"Horikita probably doesn't understand anything about love. And I can't imagine her confessing her feelings...."
"...Um? Hikigaya-kun are you still talking with me? You looked kinda upwards just now?"
"...Yeah, of course. I don't think Horikita knows about love."
"Indeed..." Kushida nodded, she was on a date with Hachiman but only talking about other girls, "Horikita-san is probably the type who is desperate when dating, but very happy when married."
Hachiman agrees with this point.
It was like his evaluation of Horikita was that she didn't understand love and was only suitable for marriage but not for dating.
'But Kushida was a little strange today. Why did she ask such a thing?'
Sometimes, even after seeing her true face, Hachiman still felt that he still didn't quite understand girl, Kushida.
Kushida immediately noticed the change in the atmosphere and shook her head slightly, "You forgot what you said just now. Sorry."
"Oh." Hachiman nodded and found that his phone was vibrating, and this time it was Horikita Suzune.
He was just discussing Horikita's affairs with Kushida, and now he got a call from her, which gave him a slightly weird feeling.
'But, Horikita is probably not the type of person who would check if you said anything bad about her like Kushida....right?'
So Hachiman answered the call directly. But Suzune's first words were, "It seems a bit noisy over your side, and there's a girl's voice."
Hachiman said honestly, like he got previous advice from me, "With Kushida. We're on the street."
"That's it." Then Suzune quickly hung up the phone.
Um....what on earth?
Hachiman thought about it, so this means that Suzune is probably in a very embarrassing situation that cannot be known to others, especially not to Kushida.
After a little thought, Hachiman directly and efficiently brought Kushida to the destination and waited for the other party to finish venting her anger.
After that, he immediately separated from Kushida.
This made her look confused. 'Is Hikigaya-kun being a good guy today and letting me vent emotions?'
But, Hachiman went straight back to the dormitory.
After returning and heading towards the girls' floor, Hachiman called Suzune back first.
"Now you can talk. I know you're having a hard time."
It seemed like a few seconds passed before the other party answered.
"..." Suzune now seemed to be choked, but her voice finally came through, "I said I can solve it myself. Well...if you must ask, then you can continue to listen to the story of the turtle."
'Story? But aren't we already inside one right now?' Hachiman's brows furrowed.
'Because I judged that something was wrong with Horikita Suzune, and she ended up telling me a story?'
xxxxx
Suzune is telling a story.
"For example, turtles are very smart...."
"Smart? Turtles don't have talent in this area, right?" Hachiman asked doubtfully.
But his doubts were immediately interrupted by Suzune, "At least there are one or two good ones in the tribe. But, suppose she falls over due to an accident, don't you think that would be bad? She will become unable to stand up on her own."
Suzune really looked like she wanted to tell a story, at least what she was talking about now was entirely about smart turtles.
This is pretty much the same as before.
But this should specifically refer to the problem where she did something very stupid but didn't want to admit that she was an idiot.
"Yes. But your story, Horikita, is a bit inaccurate. Although we generally think that turtles cannot flip over, in fact, they can basically regain their balance by relying on their slender necks and limbs. Unless they are extremely fat," Hachiman took over the topic which made Suzune pout angrily inside her cheeks.
"…" Suzune fell silent as if a fire had been muted.
It was as if topic was suddenly ended.
"Horikita....Horikita?" Hachiman called her twice but she didn't respond.
"No, nothing, so that's it." And Suzune didn't encounter any danger, so she quickly replied, "I want to go to bed early tonight. So, let's leave it at that for now."
You know, it's noon now.
Along with her voice came a clanging sound.
That was sound of metal hitting something.
"What was that sound just now?"
"No, nothing, that's it." Suzune repeated her old dialogues, then hung up phone in a hurry.
"Even though you want to say that—" But Hachiman didn't let her have her way, "I'm already at the door of your dormitory. And I know you need help right now."
"...."
"× !"
"• ——"
Suzune's breathing became unusual and her voice became less confident, "Are you sure... you won't laugh at me?"
Will you laugh at her?
Will he laugh at her?
"That's impossible, don't worry. My threshold for laughter is very high, unless I can't help it."
"And I just guessed what problem you had, so I came here to solve it. Just treat me as a repairman. They don't have any other emotions at work," Hachiman said very seriously like some protagonist getting ready for his final battle, "And you are troubled now, right?"
The class was able to be promoted to Class A and complete the mission, and Horikita Suzune was indeed useful.
She became a useful tool for him.
Not to mention, the other party is very cheap.
As long as he pays for the food, she will make lunch for him.
So because of this relationship, Hachiman will choose to help Suzune.
"Yeah...my physical strength is indeed reaching its limit. So...please come in..."
".... physical what?" Himeno Yuki, a girl of Ichinose's class was just passing by again.
She couldn't help but look with big eyes full of curiosity when she saw this boy Hikigaya-kun outside a girl's dormitory.
Since there weren't many girls over here now, she did her best to hide her presence and sound of footsteps, casually passing by from behind Hachiman.
But now....."physical... strength?"
"Hey, Is s-someone else with you?!"
Suzune's voice seemed to become weak due to the heaviness in her heart.
"Ano...Hey, you girl don't just stand and listen on other people's talk!"
"???" Himeno Yuki snorted coldly on her lollipop and marched a lot of distance away from those people.
"• ?" Hachiman just had a feeling of deja-vu after seeing this kind of reaction with cold emotions behind.
At the same time, the door to her dormitory was opened.
And because the description brought by Suzune's phone call made people pay special attention to her, Hachiman's eyes began to follow her after just half a step inside.
Then, he really saw her.
"So...ah...just a little problem."
Horikita Suzune looked away as if she was embarrassed, and then looked at the front of her right arm.
There was a small pink water bottle for girls, and it was heavily stuck in her hand.
"I see—" Hachiman nodded just like a robot, "Pfft—hahahaha—"
Perhaps she felt that it would be more embarrassing to leave Hachiman knocking on the door outside, so after getting angry, Suzune still opened the door and let him in.
"You said you wouldn't laugh at me!" Suzune locked the door and immediately started complaining.
"Understood." Hachiman raised his hands in surrender.
Judging from the sudden phone call from Suzune, and the story she told specifically noted of turtles are smart, which may be an analogy for her.
Then she said that turtle couldn't turn over, which meant she had encountered problems and difficulties.
'I never thought that in this day and age there would still be people who would get their hands stuck in kettl---pfft hahah'
'You know, I wash kettles every day and never encountered such a thing!'
