"that……"
Ichinose raised her hand cautiously, and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, Hikigu-kun, actually...I'm not feeling well right now, I want to go back and have a rest... How about we change it to another day?"
Such an obvious lie, even she couldn't lie to herself.
Hikigu didn't expose it, but just looked at her expressionlessly: "I remember during the winter vacation, you said you were free to come out to play together?"
"Uh, that's—"
"It turns out that it's just social rhetoric. Can you please don't use that kind of term that is easy to misunderstand next time."
After finishing speaking, Bi Qigu made a gesture to leave.
"In that case, I will take my leave first."
"No, no!" Ichinose said anxiously, "I really want Yohikigu to come out to play, but it's not convenient at this time."
"I don't find it inconvenient."
"but……"
Probably understanding something, a bitter smile appeared on Ichinose's face.
"Meow haha, today is tougher than Mr. Qigu, it feels like a different person."
"Well, because I'm a little angry with you." Bi Qigu said bluntly.
"Are you angry...?"
Ichinose smiled wryly again, then lowered her head apologetically.
"Well, how should I put it... I'm really sorry, it's all my fault for causing trouble for Hikigu-kun, because of the rumors, many people, including Hikigu-kun, are worried about me, anyway, please don't take it to heart superior."
"...Do you think that as long as you apologize, everything can be solved?" Bi Qigu asked lightly.
To be honest, he also felt that he was being unreasonable.
But if I don't do this, Ichinose won't understand.
"No, I just..."
"Just what?"
"Uh..." Ichinose immediately lowered her head like an elementary school student who made a mistake.
Because Hikiya knew about her past, she couldn't use ambiguous words to confuse the past like she did to her classmates.
Seeing that Ichinose remained silent, Hikiya's voice also cooled down: "Anyway, it won't take much time, and I have something important to say to you."
"……Oh, I see."
This time she didn't continue to resist, and obediently followed behind.
Then the two came to the Zelkova Shopping Center. Hikigu had greeted Matsuei in advance, so they were taken to the VIP room as soon as they entered the door.
"Hey, there is such a place in this store." Ichinose looked at the surroundings curiously, "I've never heard of it... Is Hikigu-kun a regular customer here?"
"more or less."
Hikigu was not in the mood for small talk, and urged her to sit down.
Sensing the tense atmosphere, Ichinose subconsciously sat upright.
"Ichinose, regarding the recent rumors, there is actually something I've been holding back in my heart for a long time."
"Well...please tell me."
Ichinose was already prepared to be reprimanded, but she was stunned by the first sentence of the other party.
"I wanted to say... I'm sorry."
"……Eh?"
Seeing Hikiya lower his head heavily, Ichinose hastily stopped him.
"Wait, wait a minute, why is this happening? Mr. Hikigu did nothing wrong?"
"It's not my fault."
"Nothing!" Ichinose said categorically, "If you want to take this on yourself, then you are really wrong."
As she spoke, she smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Sakayanagi must know what I did in the past. I think President Nagumo told her... Haha, I obviously reminded her earlier than Kigu-kun, but I didn't take it seriously. Maybe it's just the way I am now. What about my punishment?"
"...No, you misunderstood."
This is not what Hikigu wanted to say, but he also felt very speechless about these words.
"Ichinose, why do you think it's not me?" Hikigaya frowned and said, "Currently the only ones who know about this matter are me and President Nagumo, why did you rule me out without evidence? go out?"
"Uh, Hikiya-kun, do you know what you're talking about?" Ichinose asked with her head tilted.
Indeed, this sounds a bit strange.
But just because the other party is that Ichinose, Hikigu hoped that she would be more considerate, so as not to be sold by someone in the future and count the money for others.
"So I ask you, where is the evidence?"
"What evidence..." Ichinose said with a puzzled expression, "I just believe that Hikigaya-kun couldn't do that kind of thing, isn't that the most powerful evidence?"
"That's not it."
"It's really unreasonable... Ah, do you want to say that you accidentally leaked it?"
Ichinose suddenly tapped his fist on the palm of his hand, and then showed a distressed expression.
"In that case, I seem to have wronged Chairman Nagumo."
Even after reaching this conclusion, Ichinose still didn't have the slightest intention to blame others.
This made Hikigu really unbearable.
"How is it possible? Do you think I'm that stupid! Besides, I don't have any friends to talk about!"
"Hey, why are you apologizing?"
"...Do you still remember that you were scammed by Longyuan for 200 million?"
"what……"
Upon hearing this, Ichinose's expression froze for a moment.
Then she patted her head embarrassingly: "Ahaha, I was really stupid in that matter. Fortunately, Mr. Bi Qigu helped me, otherwise... I would..."
"But that's what I regret."
Under Ichinose's surprised eyes, Hikiya expressed his thoughts in detail.
"At that time, I thought I was smart and helped you hide it from the classmates in the class... So I was thinking that the reason why the rumors have developed to this point is probably all my fault."
"No, no, Hikigaya-kun, what are you talking about! Those rumors have nothing to do with you!" Ichinose retorted loudly.
"But the fact is that it has nothing to do with me..."
Hikigu sighed, looked into Ichinose's eyes and said in a deep voice: "If I could persuade you to face it bravely at that time, maybe you won't be a shrinking turtle like this now."
"Huh? Turtle..."
"Isn't it?" Hikigu asked lightly, "Although it's wrong for Sakayanagi to spread your rumors everywhere, you and I both know that there is indeed an irrefutable fact mixed in, you are not completely innocent what."
"what……"
In the face of unfounded rumors, the best way is to deal with them coldly, after all, the heat will dissipate one day.
But it would be too stupid to know that this is a malicious attack from the other party, but still do nothing.
Especially in this special school... Ichinose's behavior is even more irresponsible to the class.
"I thought your knot had already been untied." Hikigu said with a hint of self-blame in his tone, "Even without my intervention, I think you can solve this matter by yourself, so I deliberately avoided it this time. You, but in the end...you didn't do anything."
After hearing the last sentence, Ichinose froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
After a while, she said in an inaudible voice: "But...it's different from Mr. Qigu."
"Yeah, I'm not your classmate, don't worry about me being disappointed."
After all, Ichinose is the leader of Class A, and she only needs to be responsible to her companions.
Because of this, she had the courage to tell Hikigaya about her past at that time.
"It's not like that..." Ichinose smiled weakly, "I just...wanted to act like a baby to Hikigaya-kun... I think Hikigaya-kun will forgive me no matter what I did wrong...ah Haha, I'm such a badass."
"Well, it's really bad."
Hikigu nodded without hesitation, and then changed the topic.
"But it's not about me, it's about your classmates."
"Yeah... I let everyone down."
"It's not that simple." Bi Qigu's tone became severe, "You are in control of the financial power of the class now, have you ever thought that before everyone recommends you, if you take the initiative to reveal that you have stolen something before, Do you think they will still allow you to take this position?"
"...Of course not."
Ichinose put her hands on her chest, showing a painful expression, as if she was tightly covering the wound in her heart.
Although this is cruel, it is common sense in society.
Whether it is to take the police test or to take up some special positions, the political review must be passed.
Of course, Ichinose's behavior has not left a criminal record, and it is not serious enough to affect the future.
But since Class A is a class built on the basis of trust, as a leader, she must be more self-conscious than others.
"Ichinose, after all, do you just want to be forgiven?" Hikiya asked lightly.
"As a criminal...can I be forgiven..."
"How do I know that."
"……Eh?"
The expectant expression on Ichinose's face suddenly froze, and her head shrugged.
She probably wants words of comfort... Hmph, naive.
"I've said it before, don't think you can solve the problem just by apologizing." Hikigu said seriously, "Besides, your mother knelt down to the store for you, and the other party forgave you. There's no reason to apologize to anyone, you just want to do it for peace of mind."
"But, didn't you just say that I shouldn't hide it from my classmates... Then I should at least apologize to everyone." Ichinose raised her head and replied in a low voice.
Bi Qigu asked angrily: "Then do you think those guys in your class really need your apology?"
The students in Class A are honest people, after learning about Ichinose's difficulties, it's not hard to imagine that they would comfort her in return.
But that was just a superficial exchange, and everyone talked nicely to each other.
"Ichinose, since you are the leader of the class, it is better to make up for them with practical actions than to apologize lightly in words."
If an apology works, what do you need the police for?
At least Hikigu thinks that most people don't care that Ichinose has stolen things before, nor do they care much about her concealing her dark history.
Sometimes, human feelings are often very simple.
That is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
"Practical action...does it mean maintaining the status of Class A until graduation?"
"Of course that's important, but it's not what they want now."
"What... what do you want now?" Ichinose still didn't quite understand.
"Of course I gave them a bad breath." Hikiya said seriously, "Don't think that Sakayanagi's actions this time only hurt you, like Kanzaki almost got into a dispute with Hashimoto because of you, and your class Some of the students were pointed behind their backs, saying that the class leader was doing compensated dating, and the entire Class A was humiliated."
No matter how honest the students of Class A are, they would be furious when they heard such words.
When I was in the forest school, I almost got into a group fight.
If Ichinose is really a qualified leader, he should listen to the voices of the masses, instead of blindly saying "everyone should get along well" to suppress other different ideas.
"There is still such a thing... I am really incompetent."
However, Hikigu's expectations seemed to be in vain.
Ichinose showed a relieved smile, and then she looked over with somewhat reserved but determined eyes.
"Mr. Biqigu, you said that taking advantage of this opportunity...do I just resign from the leadership position?"
