"Horikita."

"Information about witnesses..."

Just when he was about to tell the information, he saw several pairs of shoes placed in front of the room.

"What? Is your room occupied by them?"

"Don't tell me you have the key to my room too."

"Idiot, how could I have that kind of thing?"

Horikita was obviously a little angry at Hikigaya's words, and his voice became a little excited.

It was because of her high-spirited words that she instantly attracted Kushida Kikyo in the room.

"Horikita, you're here!"

She ran out suddenly and greeted Horikita with that false smile.

Seeing that Kushida was also in Hikigaya's room, Horikita took two steps back as if instinctively.

"I'm going back, bye."

'So you made a trip on purpose and then went back. It's really hard on you. '

"Yeah, see you then."

"and many more..."

As if something suddenly occurred to her, the girl's thoughts suddenly changed.

Even if it wasn't for sharing information, even if it wasn't for discussing Sudou's affairs, she still had to enter this room.

The girl's sudden change of mind made Hikigaya stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Horikita with some confusion before entering his room.

Kushida: "I'm so happy that you can join us in the discussion, Horikita!"

Horikita pursed her lips, crossed her arms and said:

"I'm not here simply to discuss this matter..."

Kushida showed a pure expression and asked with some confusion:

"What's that for?"

Faced with Kushida's question, Horikita's face turned red at first, and then he snorted lightly without any answer.I have to say... Hikigaya, who watched the entire conversation from the sidelines, could only sigh that this is Horikita's character.

Horikita: "Back to the topic, what you are doing now is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is no progress at all."

Ike and Yamauchi nodded helplessly. Horikita was right. They did not get accurate and useful clues that day, and they even suspected that Sudou was lying.

However, with their plan in this school, it was expected that it would develop like that.

Horikita regained his usual composure, put his hand on his chin, and looked thoughtful.

Horikita: "Actually, I guess there were witnesses to this incident, and... it was right in front of our eyes."

Hikigaya: "It must be Sakura."

Horikita was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. After all, it was not difficult for him to discover such a thing.

On the contrary, Kushida Sudou and the others looked at Horikita and Hikigaya with a bit of ignorance.

They didn't even know what the situation was, but it got involved with Sakura, but... they seemed to have heard some terrible news.

Horikita: "Did you notice?"

Hikigaya: "No, I confirmed it."

Horikita took a deep breath. This guy was progressing much faster than he thought.

Kushida: "I heard you right, right? Hikigaya and Horikita are saying that Sakura is a witness."

Sudou: "Yes, I must have heard it right..."

Kushida just wanted to pick up her mobile phone and call Kushida. After all, she had exchanged mobile phone numbers with Sakura when school started, and it would be difficult for Sakura to refuse.

However, this behavior was stopped by Hikigaya.

Sakura has been too frightened today, and now she should be left alone to calm down... Moreover, if a lonely person faces a call from the other party, there are a million ways to ignore it, reference object It was Hikigaya himself.

Horikita walked to the table very familiarly and sat down: "Even if Sakura can become a witness in the end and prove that Sudou is not the guilty party, it still doesn't mean much. You know this very well, right?"

Hikigaya naturally knew what the girl's words meant. After all, Sudou was now in the position of the perpetrator, so...

Just having witnesses from his own class does not prove his innocence unless... there is also more evidence that can prove that he did not intentionally hurt others, such as audio recordings and videos.

However, that kind of thing is simply impossible.

Sudou: "What does this mean..."

Hikigaya: "It doesn't matter whether this is legitimate defense or not. They deliberately let you fall into this trap in the first place, Sudou."

Chi: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Yamauchi: "I don't understand a bit either."

The two looked at Kushida, and Kushida shook his head in confusion.

Horikita: "Sudou, although I have to admit that your physique is very strong and your athletic ability is one of the best among the first-year students, but...you have never learned fighting skills, but you can really escape from three people." , and injured the other party as Class C accuses?"

Hikigaya nodded and continued to Sudou:

"From the very beginning, the moment they pulled you to the special teaching building, it didn't matter whether you were actively hurting others, acting in self-defense, or, as you said, not hitting anyone at all."

"Because if they want to frame you, you have become the perpetrator, not the victim."

"Even if it can be proven that you were indeed the party being provoked, according to their appeal, you still took action."

Facing Hikigaya and Horikita's explanations, the brain circuits of several people became clear. From the beginning, this was simply a frame-up.

Sudou: "But? That's not right. I didn't beat them at all. Even if there are some minor scratches, it's impossible to directly turn from the perpetrator to the victim. Are the student union and others stupid?"

What Sudou said is indeed correct. Without verification, it is impossible to initiate an appeal. Since the appeal can be approved by the student union, it means that the three people who had a dispute with Sudou must have been seriously injured.

From what Sudou said, he did not use excessive violence against anyone, and he tried his best to protect himself with every move.

And now Sudou will not lose his mind because of this kind of thing.

In this case...it can only prove it.

'Long Yuan, you are so cruel...'

Hikigaya nodded, agreeing with Sudou's statement, but...he showed a solemn expression:

"You may not have injured them, but for Long Yuan, since his target is you, there are countless ways for them to pretend to be victims afterwards, and even...even beat the three people who appealed. Seriously injured."

Although it is just a guess, this is undoubtedly the method with the highest probability. If he were a cruel person, he would also use such a method, and for Long Yuan, he was that kind of person.

After hearing the boy's analysis, even Horikita, who knew some of the inside story, was completely stunned in his chair.

This matter seemed to be more complicated than they imagined.

Sudou finally understood how he was played by the other party. In his eyes, he had tried his best to avoid it, but in fact...

It has no effect at all, the other party just chose him specifically.

He looked troubled, and worry appeared on his face.

Sudou: "Now, is there any other way?"

Yamauchi, Ike, Kushida, and Horikita all focused their attention on the boy almost at the same time.

Hikigaya lowered his head and smiled slightly: "There will always be a way... Since Ryuuen wants to change from a perpetrator to a victim, then we just need to change it from this angle again."

With the current Sakura, if the victim's perspective can be confirmed, it will be them and the others who will take the initiative at that time.

Although Horikita didn't understand what the boy wanted to do, it had only been a day, so it would be too early to draw a conclusion so quickly.

It was getting late. Yamauchi, Ike, Kushida, and Horikita also left here one after another. Only Sudou was still lying on Hikigaya's bed with a worried look on his face.

'It seems that this incident has really hit him hard. '

Sudou spread his hands on the bed and asked as if he doubted himself: "Hikigaya, should I really drop out of school? I seem to have been causing trouble for Class D, whether it's studying or this matter. matter."

Hikigaya doesn't know how to comfort people, this kind of thing is not his strong point at all.

Therefore, he could only blurt out all the truth in his heart.

"It's not something I can help you decide whether to drop out of school or not."

"Since everyone is in Class D, there is no such thing as someone dragging someone down. What I can tell you is... just like my isolation will cause trouble to many people, the same will be true for your studies, but... .I don’t hate myself for being like this, and the same goes for you.”

Sudou nodded thoughtfully. Although he had been doubting himself, if he hated himself, it was definitely not that serious.

Hikigaya: "Everyone has something they're not good at. Just like I can't always fit into a good group, your academic performance is always very low... However, this is not permanent, at least for you. , as long as the school carries out school sports meetings, your advantages will be brought out, and this is true for everyone."

"This matter is not your problem. Don't blame yourself too much. Even if you are gone, Long Yuan will find the next target."

After hearing Hikigaya's words, Sudou suddenly jumped up from his bed. He walked to Hikigaya and gently patted Hikigaya's shoulder.

"Thank you bro."

'So don't call me that casual title. '

Watching Sudou, who had regained his energy, left his room, the small space was once again filled with a cold and lonely atmosphere.

However, for Hikigaya, this feeling is the most beautiful.

I take a bath alone, study alone, and lie in bed alone to have a good rest. Although Sudou's matter is not completely over yet, but...

When I thought about what happened today, I actually hugged Sakura tightly. It was over... it was over, it was completely over... I would be regarded as a pervert in the future.

Just like that, Hikigaya twisted left and right on the bed like a maggot.

However, Sakura's side wasn't much better.

Kamuro lay in bed unable to sleep at all, still cursing about what Hikigaya had done to him in the evening.

So how could that guy do this!

On the contrary, Sudou seemed very quiet on the bed, having once again decided to start well.

Everyone has their own troubles...

[Kamuro saw himself being treated as a tool in the video, and for a moment he became a little angry and made a small report to Sakayanagi. 】

["It's so irritating, so irritating! How can this guy be like this! He doesn't regard me as a girl at all, and so do you, Sakayanagi... He actually doesn't stand on my side but still stands on the side of an outsider. This way."]

[Sakayanagi watched the video with interest, and then said to Kamuro: "After all, we come from different time and space. I don't know what I think about that. You don't have to think so much. After all, our school doesn't have this. people."】

[Kamuro: "I just feel very unhappy. I saw the video of myself being bullied like this. I feel very unhappy and unhappy."]

[Hashimoto: "You guys, the princess usually spoils you too much and doesn't let you do anything. Besides, you have nothing to lose."]

[Kamuro doesn’t want to talk to this smooth-talking guy at all. Anyway, he will lose every time he quarrels with him, so it is better not to speak. 】

[Sakayanagi: "But what Kamuro said is right. I would actually side with outsiders... It's really unexpected."]

[Kitou looks at Sakayanagi with a troubled expression. : "Princess...well, I don't know whether to say it or not."]

[Sakayanagi: "But it doesn't matter."]

[Kito: "Let me tell you, in that video, you were 100 times more pampered to that guy than Kamuro. Could it be..."]

[Sakayanagi had already guessed what Kito wanted to say, but she did not become flustered by his words, but shook her head gently. 】

【"Will not..."】

[Hearing what Sakayanagi said, Kito couldn't say anything else. On the contrary, Hashimoto on the side got the accurate answer and began to echo: "That's right, how can the princess be so emotional? In my opinion, the princess You probably took a fancy to his ability, that’s why you paid so much attention to him.”]

[Sakayanagi shook his head again, leaving Hashimoto stunned. 】

【"That's not right either..."】

[Facing this ambiguous answer, Hashimoto Kamuro and Kito were completely confused. 】

[Now, what is going on? 】

[Sakayanagi: "I can't tell, but I can feel that I didn't win over him just because of his ability. Of course... I definitely didn't get emotional."]

["I feel more like...a mixture of complex emotions such as appreciation, dependence, etc., so I hope he can stay in this school safely and give me more surprises."]

[Different from the feeling Ayanokouji gives him now, Sakayanagi wants to have a duel with him, but for Hikigaya, he has no such idea at all. 】

[However, what do you think?She couldn't explain it herself, and it was hard to say. 】
