章節 65: -65- Where did you get it?
The next day.
After entering the classroom, Hori continued to tinker with the digital camera he found yesterday.
Because on normal days, when Hori came to the classroom, he would take out detective novels borrowed from the library, like Horikita Suzune, and read them quietly. Today, his sudden behavior immediately caught Horikita Suzune's attention.
"This does not suit you."
Horikita Suzune gave such a assessment.
But this was probably the sentiment shared by everyone who saw it, right?
Even Hori himself was self-aware.
"I know I'm not someone who likes taking photos. Playing with a digital camera doesn't suit me at all, but you're the least qualified to say that to me."
Without even raising his head, Hori continued his work, while replying to Horikita Suzune in this manner.
This made Horikita Suzune glare at Hori, but she couldn't find words to refute.
There was no help for it.
Just as Hori said, anyone could criticize him, except for Horikita Suzune.
Because this girl was also someone who was extremely incompatible with a digital camera.
However, unlike usual, Horikita Suzune didn't choose to remain silent after being rebuked by Hori.
"This isn't your camera, right? Where did you get it?"
In a very rare occurrence, Horikita Suzune took the initiative to ask.
"Why?" Hori looked somewhat surprised and glanced over, saying, "Are you actually interested in this kind of thing?"
In the past, Horikita Suzune would definitely not be interested in things like digital cameras and would only do meaningful things, right?
In fact, Horikita Suzune was only doing what she considered meaningful now.
That is to say, Horikita Suzune thought that what Hori was doing was meaningful.
"Never mind others, but since you suddenly did something like this, it must involve some significant issues, right?"
Based on this idea, Horikita Suzune questioned what Hori was doing.
By now, even if Horikita Suzune was unwilling to admit it, she had to acknowledge that Hori was a very capable person.
Being able to detect anomalies in this school and uncover one secret after another, Hori's abilities were obviously not at the level of an ordinary person.
Horikita Suzune believed that this time, Hori must have discovered something again.
Therefore, this girl, who usually didn't care about others' affairs, rarely took the initiative to inquire.
After all, Horikita Suzune didn't want to fall behind others anymore.
Unfortunately...
"This time it's my private matter, nothing valuable to you."
Hori replied casually, then buried himself in his work again.
This made Horikita Suzune furrowed her eyebrows, staring at Hori intently, before giving up after a while.
"Forget it, since it's your private matter, it has nothing to do with me."
Making this judgment, Horikita Suzune withdrew her gaze, also ignoring Hori and continued reading her book.
Except for Horikita Suzune, everyone else in the class had noticed Hori's unusual behavior, but they didn't say anything.
Kushida Kikyou seemed somewhat curious, but due to the presence of friends nearby, she did not come over to inquire.
Ayanokouji Kiyotaka remained immersed in the rare social game, mingling with Ike Kanji, Yamauchi Haruki, and Sudou Ken, as usual.
Classmates in the class kept chatting.
"Tomorrow is the points transfer date."
"Hope we'll have some points transferred next month!"
"It's fine, right? Our class must have some surplus points, right?"
"Who knows..."
The classmates engaged in such conversations.
As these people said, tomorrow would mark the arrival of a new month, and the personal points transfer date for students would also be tomorrow.
Compared to this matter, Hori's behavior, different from usual, was not a big deal at all. Although it attracted the attention of many people, no one came over to inquire except for Horikita Suzune.
In such a situation, class time was gradually approaching.
Soon...
"That... um..."
A voice full of timidity but seemingly gathering courage sounded from beside Hori.
Hori suddenly came to his senses, stopped his work again, turned his head, and looked to the side.
However, this time he didn't look towards Horikita Suzune sitting on his left but towards his right.
There, Sakura Airi sat in her seat, bowing her head, looking uneasy, while her gaze under the glasses kept flickering towards Hori.
More accurately, it was towards the digital camera in Hori's hand.
This shy and timid girl stared at the digital camera in Hori's hand, twisting her fingers, seemingly reluctant to make eye contact with Hori, and spoke in a very faint voice.
"That... um... camera..."
Sakura Airi, in a trembling and shaky posture that seemed like she could faint at any moment, wanted to say something to Hori but couldn't complete her sentence.
It was evident that Sakura Airi seemed a bit afraid.
Hori became puzzled and raised the camera in his hand.
"This camera?"
Hori made this inquiry.
In return, Sakura Airi gave an even more timid response.
"N-nothing..." Sakura Airi twisted her fingers forcefully, shifted her gaze, and struggled to say to Hori, "I just... just find it very strange..."
Strange?
Like Horikita Suzune, because dealing with a digital camera was completely incompatible with her style, did she find it strange?
Or...
"I found this camera." Hori looked at Sakura Airi and said so, "Why? Is it yours?"
At this, Sakura Airi suddenly exerted force on her twisting hands, then almost instinctively shook her head.
"N-no... it's not mine!"
Saying so, Sakura Airi's performance seemed a bit overly panicked.
This made Hori squint his eyes.
Finally, Hori chose to say these words.
"Sakura-san, do you know a lot about cameras?"
Hori's words made Sakura Airi even more flustered.
"W-why are you asking such a question?"
Sakura Airi replied with effort.
But the next moment, Hori's answer shook Sakura Airi greatly.
"Because I want to repair this digital camera." Hori said so, "It seems to have been dropped and is completely broken now. It can't power on, let alone be used."
Sakura Airi heard this sentence clearly.
"B-Broken...!?"
In that instant, Sakura Airi seemed to not believe her ears, turned her head a bit forcefully, and looked at Hori with wide eyes.
Hori didn't explain much, just operated the digital camera in front of Sakura Airi, allowing her to clearly see that the digital camera couldn't power on at all.
"H-how could this be..."
Sakura Airi's face suddenly turned slightly pale.
