Thinking of this, Hikigu took out his phone from his pocket and sent a message.

……

On the other hand, when Hirata left the gym early, he didn't notice a person secretly following behind him.

He walked out of the school in a daze, and unknowingly came to a small garden nearby.

At this moment, all the students in the school are preparing for the sports festival, so it is very quiet here, and no one will disturb... It should be like this.

"Hirata."

"Uh..." Hirata turned his head slowly, and after glancing at Ayanokōji who was standing not far away, he turned back again.

I don't understand why it is Ayanokouji and I don't want to understand.

Right now he just wants to be alone.

However, Ayanokōji didn't seem to see what he was thinking, and walked over on his own initiative.

"Can I have a moment?"

"It's annoying, can you stop all of you coming to talk to me." Hirata said impatiently.

However, his rough tone did not scare off the other party.

"Sorry, but you can run away if you hate it."

Ayanokouji took firm steps and shortened the distance little by little.

"However, I am quite confident about running, and I should be able to catch up with you by then."

Even if he deliberately said such provocative words, Hirata did not react too much, and still looked impatient.

"Are you annoying or not, even if you say nothing, I can't possibly meet your expectations."

"Expectation? Sorry, I never had such an idea."

"...Then what do you want to say?"

"Go and sit there for a while."

While watching Hirata's face, Ayanokouji walked to the bench next to him.

Probably due to insomnia, there are thick dark circles under the eyelids, no one would have thought that Hirata would become like this.

It seems that Ike's dropout has a greater impact on Hirata than imagined.

However, in Ayanokouji's view, this is not all bad.

It's even a good thing in a sense.

Seeing that Hirata didn't move, Ayanokōji said again: "You can stand there forever, but I still want to hear about you."

"Eh?"

Seeing Hirata's reaction, Ayanokouji was immediately convinced.

The people who came to encourage him in the past few days must want to heal him with some gentle words.

It is a pity that the last thing Hirata needs now is sympathy, which will only make him more painful.

"My, my business?"

"That's right, I want to hear what kind of person you were and what you were thinking before."

"……why?"

"I just want to know, so even if you ask me why, it's hard for me to answer."

After listening to Ayanokouji's words, Hirata sighed deeply and slowly shook his head.

"I'm not in that mood right now, and I have nothing to tell you."

"Why are you not in the mood?"

"You ask why...it's not because..."

Hirata hesitated to speak, probably the answer is self-evident when he thinks about it.

But what Ayanokoji wanted was to hear him speak.

"Why exactly?"

"...Because Chi Jun was expelled from school."

Being forced to say something he didn't want to say, Hirata's expression became even worse.

"Ayanokōji-kun, you are really an excessive person."

"I just have doubts." Ayanokōji opened his eyes and said nonsense, "So, is Ike's dropping out of school related to the past that you can't talk about?"

This time Hirata showed a surprised expression.

"It has nothing to do with my past."

"But I think so."

Ayanokōji forced Hirata's voice over, and said to himself: "Even if Ike is expelled from school, in the end it's his own fault, and everyone will think it's his fault, but what about you, Hirata? You're always struggling with this, even I don't care about the things in the class, it's really weird."

After a pause, he suddenly changed the topic.

"However, I just want to know about your past and why you have that idea."

"So what if you know it, do you think you can say it?"

"Of course, you really want others to know you now."

Saying that, Ayanokouji stared closely at Hirata's eyes.

It felt a bit like he was being threatened to speak up, but it must have been effective in this situation.

The man Hirata is not waiting to die, he is looking forward to being redeemed.

Ayanokouji would not mind taking on the role if necessary.

Especially when the opponent is still that Hirata.

"Ayanokōji-kun, you..."

Hirata stared blankly at Ayanokouji's eyes, and gradually a sense of fear welled up in his heart.

"There's an abyss in your pupils...you really are a scary person."

"At least I'm your partner now."

These words seemed to have finally broken Hirata's heart, he walked slowly to the side of Ayanokōji, and sat down as if he was powerless.

"I told you... I had a very close friend when I was young, and he was bullied in middle school."

"Well, it's called Sugura, right?"

"I didn't expect you to even remember your name..."

This is a matter of course, and it is precisely because of knowing this that Ayanokouji can judge Hirata's current psychological state.

Taking the cooperation on the uninhabited island as an opportunity, the two formed a certain relationship of trust on the cruise ship.

At that time, Hirata talked about his past to Ayanokouji, and it was also the reason why he protected Karuizawa.

He wanted to help that friend who was being bullied, but he was afraid that he would also be the target of being bullied, so he chose to turn a blind eye and spend those days as an indifferent bystander.

Unexpectedly, one day, his friend committed suicide by jumping off the building in front of him.

Taking this as an opportunity, Hirata began to think about saving the people around him, so after knowing that Karuizawa had been bullied in the past, he immediately decided to protect her from being bullied by others.

However, what Karuizawa wants is not only not to be bullied, but a powerful host that can make her parasitize.

Ayanokōji also aimed at this point to be able to take advantage of the gap.

"Although my friend's life was saved, he has not recovered until now, and has been in a deep sleep..."

Hirata clenched his fists tightly.

"It was me who forced him to commit suicide, and I still can't forgive myself."

"This is not your fault, Hirata, and the root cause lies with others."

"Yes, but I think bystanders are equally guilty."

If there is only these, there is not much to say, and Ayanokouji is not interested.

What he really wanted to know was the follow-up that Hirata hadn't said yet.

"I understand that you still have doubts." Hirata continued, "My friend tried to commit suicide by jumping off the building at that time. I thought this series of disturbances would subside. After all, such a big incident happened, and there will be no more bullying incidents in the school... ...But I was still too naive, I underestimated the bottomless darkness of human nature."

Although it was an exaggeration, Ayanokōji knew exactly what would happen without even thinking about it.

"The new target of bullying became another student in my class."

This is not surprising, if the person with the lowest rank in the class is gone, the student who was second to last will automatically become the last one.

In a sense, this is a law of nature.

"It's unbelievable." Hirata seemed to be suppressing his feelings, and muttered, "Obviously such a bad incident happened, and new bullying appeared immediately, and it continued to spread. There were no classmates who were bullied before. I also started to join the side of the bullies... At that time, I thought that the tragedy could not happen again, and I absolutely wanted to prevent that kind of thing."

"Have you... taken action?"

"Well, to put it simply, it is to use terror to dominate the class."

Hirata replied with a serious face, completely unable to see that this was a joke.

Even Ayanokoji was a little taken aback.

"Although I am not very strong in fighting, I will know after I have actually fought. There are not many people in this world who can seriously fight with people. As long as I shake my fist seriously, no one dares to fight back at me."

Indeed, momentum is very important.

Bullies are originally a group of bullying guys, plus Hirata is the trump card of the football club, and his physical fitness is much higher than his peers.

Once he crazily hits one person, the others will probably be too scared to move.

"In the end, I became the only high-ranking person in the class, and the other students were in the lowest rank. As long as they had a dispute, I would intervene, and then give both parties equal sanctions and pain. Although my behavior is no different from bullying, but That's what I wanted to do to get the bullying out of the class, and it did bring a brief moment of peace to the class."

That is to say, he adopted a method similar to Ryuuen's rule of the class.

However, the purpose of the two is different, even if Hirata knows that what he did is not justice, but wrong behavior.

Even so, he doesn't want to see a world where someone is being bullied.

"But if you do this, it's impossible for the school not to respond?" Ayanokōji asked.

"Yeah... In the end, the entire grade was involved, and they came to school every day like an emotionless robot... This incident was widely spread at the time, and it was almost treated as a case... …The school doesn’t seem to know how to deal with such an unprecedented incident, so it can only forcefully disband all classes and reorganize them, and strictly monitor them until we graduate.”

Since there was such a big commotion, it was impossible for Gao Yu not to notice it.

I'm afraid it was precisely because of knowing that Hirata was admitted... just like Hikigaya.

"Actually, what you can't forgive is not Chi's dropping out of school, but the class's attack on him." Ling Xiaolu said.

"Well... I also think it's his fault that Mr. Chi was expelled from school. I originally wanted the matter to calm down like this."

Hirata is not a person who does not know right from wrong, but the scene in the class made him emotional.

But in terms of the results, Ayanokouji really wanted to thank the person who put the vase.

After all, in order to advance to Class A, Hirata is an indispensable force.

"I want to ask you something." Ling Xiaolu said slowly, "Whose responsibility do you think Chi was expelled from school?"

"...It can only be him." Hirata replied in a low voice.

No matter how you look at it, it's just Chi's own doing.

However, Ayanokouji denied this statement.

"you are wrong."

"what?"

"Hirata, the responsibility for Ike's dropping out of school lies with you."

"Well……!"

Hirata raised his head with a bewildered expression on his face.

"Have you really thought about saving Chi?" Ling Xiaolu said mercilessly, "If you really think so, you should start from the beginning. It's not a day or two that Chi and Yamauchi misbehave. If you could have severely reprimanded them earlier and asked them to correct themselves, things would not have developed to where they are today."

"What, what..."
