Just being provoked by Ayanokoji, and then decided to prove his strength by defeating Ichinose... Are you crazy?

In the end, that guy is not much different from Nagumo, he doesn't care about the class at all, he thinks he can play with others casually if he has the strength, and treats other people's black history as... huh?Black history?

Speaking of which, before, Hikigu was also affected by Sakayanagi's mentality like this, and almost collapsed.

...Damn it.

Every time he thought of that incident, the anger in his heart would rise up.

Sure enough, I still can't forgive that damned white hair!

Before he knew it, Hikigaya came to the door of the library.

This time he planned to find a few books that could heal mental internal friction, but he didn't know where they were, and the library of this school was ridiculously large.

Maybe you can ask Shiina... Strange, she is not a librarian, why is she the first thing that comes to mind?

Just when Hikigu was thinking about something boring, someone suddenly greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Biqigu, I still wonder why you came so late today."

"……Hello."

Although the two hadn't agreed to come to the library to meet in advance, Shiina seemed to tacitly agree that he would come... well, he did come.

However, since we happened to meet, let's ask about the book.

Hikigu just wanted to speak, but Shiina said first, "I'm sorry Bikigu, if you don't have anything special, can I take a moment of your time?"

"what happened?"

"Actually, a mystery novel that I'm very interested in came out recently." Shiina said expectantly, "But the library doesn't seem to have introduced it yet, and I asked the teacher and he said that there is no plan for the time being, so I want to go to the bookstore to have a look. Can you accompany me for a while?"

"Okay."

Bi Qigu naturally agreed to this, anyway, it is the same to go to the bookstore to buy, maybe there are more types.

"Thank you very much."

Shiina clasped her hands together with a happy smile on her face, then she picked up her bag and left the library with Hikigaya and set off for the Keyaki Shopping Center.

On the way, the two naturally mentioned their previous co-sleeping.

"The last exam was really not easy."

"Yeah, after all, you have to live with students from other classes."

"I think that aspect is okay." Shiina sighed suddenly while speaking, "I was a little unaccustomed to it at first, and everyone's relationship became better later on, but I... failed everyone's trust."

"Let it go?" Hikigu asked puzzled.

He knew that Shiina's big group came last, but the main problem was with the third-year group.

Shiina nodded rather dejectedly: "Well... especially the long-distance running, obviously everyone has taken good care of me, and only let me run the minimum distance... and I am still the leader of the team, I feel very sorry for them."

That's right.

Although Shiina's academic performance is very good, her athletic ability is really bad, and she is out of breath after running for a few minutes.

It seemed that she felt that she was holding the group back.

"No, no, you said it the other way around. It would be great to stand up and be the person in charge under such circumstances. No one will blame you."

Hikiya didn't want to see Shiina moaning, that was not suitable for her.

"Besides, the content of the exam is only secondary. I think the school specially arranged that kind of regular dormitory. The main purpose is to allow us to communicate across classes."

"Yeah, it's really great to be able to make friends across classes." Shiina's mood quickly improved, and she said with a smile, "Whether it's Horikita-san or Ichinose-san, everyone is a good person, I was a little worried about Horikita-san I would argue with other people, but after getting in touch with her, I found out that she is a very reasonable person."

Horikita's words are indeed true, and she will never be unreasonable like other girls.

It was the same when I was on the uninhabited island before, other girls began to complain when they were not happy, and secretly used points to buy things in private, but Horikita was going to grit her teeth and endure it even if she had a fever.

Although she also has such and other shortcomings, but no one is perfect, at least some of her qualities surpass most of her peers.

"However, I am also a little dissatisfied."

Shiina suddenly puffed up her mouth slightly, and stared at Hikigaya with some unhappiness.

"During the exam, Hikigu-kun and I didn't even talk to each other... I wanted to introduce you to the book I brought with me."

"...No way, there are too few opportunities."

"Oh, is that so? But I remember that time, I could see Hikigaya-kun and Horikita having dinner together almost every day."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Shiina's tone suddenly became a little cold.

"Is it because I'm from another class that I can't even speak?"

"Uh, no such thing."

Facing the pressure from Shiina, Hikigu couldn't help sweating.

It's not that he has to talk to girls because he's idle and bored, it's just to keep track of the girls' group.

"Hehe, I was just joking."

As if the prank had succeeded, Shiina smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up.

"I know, Hikigaya-kun is discussing with Horikita-san about the exam countermeasures, I'm not suitable for that... ah."

Before she finished speaking, she seemed to have discovered something.

Following Shiina's line of sight, it turned out that Ichinose appeared not far away. She was with several students in the class, and she was probably going to the shopping mall to play.

It's just that, except for Ichinose, the boys and girls all looked very stiff, and they observed the movement around them from time to time.

It seems that they intend to protect Ichinose who is in the center of the whirlpool.

"As expected of Ichinose-san." Shiina suddenly sighed, "At this time, you can still run out freely, and your behavior looks very natural, no different from usual, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to do it. to such a thing."

On the surface, this is indeed true.

In the face of rumors, you should adopt an upright attitude, so that it will slowly break through.

But that also has a premise, the person involved is either innocent, or has a very low or no sense of morality.

Unfortunately, Ichinose is neither.

She's just a good kid who did something wrong... So if this goes on, it's only a matter of time before her heart breaks down.

I'm afraid Sakayanagi is just waiting for that opportunity, when the time comes, he can defeat Class A by the way.

"Do you want to go say hello?"

Seeing Shiina looking over there, Hikiya couldn't help asking.

"I originally had this idea." Shiina smiled helplessly, "But it seems inconvenient right now, and I feel like it will cause trouble for Ichinose-san and the others."

Eh...you really want to go?

Hikigaya was shocked immediately, if Ichinose was the only one, it would be understandable to say hello.

Now there is a large group of people on the opposite side...

Sometimes he really doubts that Shiina is also a hidden social terrorist, right?

Thinking about it carefully, when the two met for the first time, Shiina seemed to be the one who took the initiative to strike up a conversation... This kid is indeed a social fear!

"Bikigu-kun."

At this time, Shiina called his name suddenly, with a serious expression on his face.

"Although it's a bit sudden, before going to the bookstore, can you find a place to sit with me first? Some words are not convenient here."

"Okay."

Hikiya can roughly guess the content, but let Shiina speak for herself.

"Is there anything you like?"

"Hmm, it's better if there's no one around and be quiet...ah, that store seems to be pretty good."

I saw Shiina pointing to a coffee shop in the corner, probably because of the poor location, few students patronized it, and it seemed deserted.

Although it is not very good for the store, it is really a big help to be so unpopular.

"excuse me."

"Welcome, please find a seat you like."

The two opened the door and walked into the store, only to be greeted by a handsome waiter.

Eh... this guy looks familiar, doesn't he?

But Hikigu didn't think too much, and found a seat in the back with Shiina, and after ordering coffee and cake, they started chatting about business.

"Have you heard anything about Ichinose-san recently, Mr. Hikiya?"

"……all."

Hikigu thought about it, and felt that there was no need to hide it from Shiina.

"It seems that I'm right." Shiina nodded happily, "In the last two days in Linjian School, strange rumors suddenly spread from the boys, it must be Hikigu-kun's handwriting, right?"

"Uh, that's not me."

Just now, Biqigu, who thought there was no need to hide it, was instantly discouraged.

Mostly those rumors... not very elegant.

"Hikigaya-kun, there's no need to deny it, I know you did this for Ichinose-kun, you're trying to divert everyone's attention...well, that's..."

As she spoke, Shiina's face turned slightly red.

"Just pay attention to the content next time... right?"

"Ah, um."

"Anyway, it's great that you understand." Shiina lightly exposed the matter and returned to the topic, "Although it seems useless to do so, the rumors of Ichinose-san are still spreading, but at least it proves that There must be someone playing tricks behind this scene."

She got to the crucial part right away.

That's right, if it's just boring gossip, it's like rootless duckweed, which will automatically dissipate after a few days.

Just like the little anecdote about Ayanokoji and the wild boar, the response was indeed very enthusiastic at the beginning, but the enthusiasm disappeared after a while, and no one will mention it again today.

The rumors of Ichinose can last for such a long time, there is no other possibility except human factors.

"So I want to ask Mr. Biqigu, do you know who spread it?"

"...I personally think it's Sakayanagi."

Although there is no evidence yet, Hikigaya does not shy away from naming that guy.

Then he gave a reason: "Actually, we can use the method of elimination. It is very unlikely for our class D, and class A will not do this. The remaining two classes—"

"Class C won't either." Shiina took the initiative to take over Hikigaya's words, "I don't have many friends in class, but if Ryuuen-kun gave instructions, I would be able to sense it, but now I don't have any at all. That sign."

"Ah, so the rest is Class B."

As for the possibility of the senior grades being almost negligible, the third graders are busy with their own graduation, how could they make trouble at this juncture, let alone the first graders who have nothing to do with them.

And if rumors about Ichinose spread in the second grade, there would be no one but Nagumo to be the culprit, and that guy wasn't so stupid.

So from the beginning, Hikigu didn't worry that he would wrong Sakayanagi.

After all, only the white hair is eligible.

"Is it Sakayanagi-san..."

Shiina didn't seem too surprised by this answer. After thinking for a moment, she slowly said, "To be honest, I don't want to see Ichinose-san in pain. She is willing to treat someone like me who doesn't have many friends. Others treat me like that, so—”

She expressed her thoughts in a firm tone.

"Originally, I didn't like the behavior of hurting others, but recently I gradually began to feel that if it is to protect a friend, sometimes it is necessary to fight."

"...You want to protect Ichinose?"

"Yeah!" Shiina nodded emphatically, "Even though I have a hostile relationship with Ichinose-san, I still want to help her, so... Hikiya-kun, can you please listen to my willful request?"

Willful... alas.

Hikigu doesn't dislike this so-called willfulness, and can even be said to be quite envious.

Because we are friends, I have to help... It's easy to say, but it's even more difficult to act.

Anyway, compared to Qigu, it is very difficult, in case someone says meddling, or they don't need help at all, or even just a disservice.
