章節 74: -74- The broken camera
"I don't think Nanaya-kun would do such a thing," Kushida Kikyou said in front of all the students, showing complete trust in Hori.
Indeed, as the little angel of Class D, being able to show such unconditional trust should be quite dazzling to everyone in the class, right?
Only Hori knew why Kushida Kikyou would trust him so unconditionally.
Because this girl knew herself.
Kushida Kikyou should be well aware that as someone who has seen her true self, Hori would never be jealous for her sake, right?
In fact, Kushida Kikyou did think so.
"Although there is no evidence, I am very clear about what kind of person Nanaya-kun is. I don't believe Nanaya-kun would fight for me," Kushida Kikyou glanced at Hori sneakily and said, "So I hope everyone can also believe in Nanaya-kun. There must be some misunderstanding in this."
What misunderstanding?
Of course, it's the mischief of Class C.
"Is little Kikyou implying that Class C is framing Nanaya?" Perhaps feeling jealous of Kushida Kikyou's unconditional support for Hori, Ike Kanji said with a hint of sarcasm.
"But it's also possible that Nanaya himself doesn't want to admit that he did such a thing, right?" Ike Kanji said, probably without malice, just feeling a bit suspicious, right?
Many boys in the class seemed to agree with Ike Kanji for this reason.
They are really a group of overly naive guys.
As a result, while Hori didn't show any jealousy towards others, others wanted to be jealous of him.
However, this should be the accumulated resentment of the boys in the class over the past period of time, right?
After all, during this period of time, Hori has indeed been very close to Kushida Kikyou, going to school together every day, and even often returning to the dormitory together. In the eyes of outsiders, no matter how you look at it, it's a very close relationship.
This was seized upon by Ryuen Kakeru, leading to the excuse for the violent incident.
Now, this has become the only factor in the class that makes students suspect Hori.
If it's not for jealousy, then the students in Class D can't imagine that Hori would resort to violence.
At least, many boys think so.
"Ayanokouji, don't you think so too?" Yamauchi Haruki even intended to drag Ayanokouji Kiyotaka into it.
"...Well, it's not ruled out as a possibility," Ayanokouji Kiyotaka seemed to still want to avoid attracting too much attention, so he didn't express his own thoughts, just went along with the topic, minimizing his presence.
Hori noticed this, and Horikita Suzune gave Ayanokouji Kiyotaka a disdainful look, making him turn his head away.
At this point, Sudou Ken crossed his arms and spoke up for Hori.
"I don't believe Nanaya would get into a fight with someone. He looks weak and doesn't seem like the type to fight," Sudou Ken could only say such things.
Such remarks probably could only be made by Sudou Ken.
But in a way, what Sudou Ken said was not wrong.
And since Sudou Ken, who is good at fighting, said so, the students in the class believed it to some extent.
"I also want to believe in Nanaya-san," Hirata Yousuke said to everyone in the class, "It's understandable if students from other classes doubt, but it's not right to doubt a fellow classmate from the same class. So, I also hope everyone can believe in Nanaya-san."
For Hirata Yousuke's argument, his girlfriend was the first to express agreement.
"Since Yousuke said so, I don't object," Karuizawa Kei echoed Hirata Yousuke.
Now, everyone in the class tended to believe that Hori was innocent.
Hirata Yousuke, Kushida Kikyou, and Karuizawa Kei were the central figures of Class D, with a high influence on the classmates.
Just like the last time Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken faced expulsion, it was also the stance of these three people that ultimately led the entire class.
Now, these three people have stated their positions again, so whether it's the boys' group or the girls' group, even if their inner thoughts are different, they will definitely go along with it on the surface.
Even Ike Kanji and Yamauchi Haruki could only reluctantly agree.
Except for Kouenji Rokusuke's special case.
"Violence is not beautiful at all, but what you guys are doing is quite interesting. Let me watch this farce from the audience seats and see how long it will last," Kouenji Rokusuke, with an air of superiority, shook his head and expressed his intention to stand by and watch.
Of course, no one in the class expected this self-centered classmate to do anything.
In Class D, apart from Hori and Horikita Suzune, the most isolated person is undoubtedly Kouenji Rokusuke.
Since the beginning of the school year, this person has never looked at anyone, except for those who are attracted by his wealth and want to flatter him, he doesn't want to get close to anyone else.
The students in the class then turned the conversation towards proving Hori's innocence.
"What can we do to prove Nanaya's innocence?"
"The teacher said we need to find evidence by next Tuesday, right?"
"But where can we find evidence?"
"Didn't anyone see what happened?"
The students discussed like this.
No one noticed that when someone mentioned, "Didn't anyone see what happened," Sakura Airi, who had been sitting quietly next to Hori, lowered her head even more.
Although no one noticed this, Horikita Suzune noticed a clue related to this.
"By the way, weren't you playing with a camera yesterday?" Horikita Suzune stared directly at Hori, as if trying to see through his thoughts, and said straightforwardly, "And the day before you were messing with that camera happened to be the day you had a dispute with Class C. Could that camera have an important connection to this incident?"
Horikita Suzune's assertion made Sakura Airi's grip on her skirt tighten, and her fingertips seemed to turn white.
Unfortunately, the students in the class were all drawn into this matter.
"What camera?"
"Could it be the camera that captured the scene?"
"That would be the best evidence!"
"Hurry up and bring it out!"
The students in the class all spoke up like this.
Until...
"You guys don't need to worry about this matter."
Hori finally lifted his eyes and glanced at everyone present, saying so.
"Just focus on your own stuff."
After saying that, Hori didn't say anything else.
This made the students in the class look at each other.
"What about the camera?" Horikita Suzune pursued relentlessly, "Aren't you going to explain?"
"There's nothing to explain. It's my own business," Hori Nanaya said indifferently. "Besides, that camera is already broken. I'll take it for repairs on the weekdays. No need to worry."
"Is that so?" Horikita Suzune remained silent for a moment, then replied apathetically, "Well, if that's the case, then do as you please."
The topic regarding the incident ended there.
Seeing that Hori himself didn't care about the matter, the students in the class were undecided for a moment and could only continue to voice their complaints.
Among the complaints, only Sakura Airi, with her head lowered, murmured quietly.
"The weekdays..."
