Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Sakura Airi didn't expect that someone would talk to her, and she looked a little flustered.

"Sakura-san, I have something to ask you, is that okay? It's about Sudou-san..."

"S-Sorry, I...I have other plans..."

Sakura put on a very obvious embarrassed expression and looked away.

She gave off a strong vibe of someone who was not good at or did not like talking to people.

"I won't take up too much of your time. This matter is very important, so I hope you can tell me. When Sudou-san was involved in the incident, were you nearby, Sakura-san?"

"I, I don't know. Horikita-san also told me so, but I really don't know anything at all."

Hikigaya was slightly surprised to hear the exchange between the two.

He didn't expect that Horikita had already looked for Sakura once before.

Could it be that at the previous class meeting, when Kushida Kikyo asked the students whether they had witnessed Sudo's fight, Sakura Airi lowered her head because she was worried that people would find out that she was a witness.

Most people might overlook such small details, but if it were Horikita, they might be able to see it...

While Hikigaya was thinking, Kushida Kikyo continued to question Sakura, and she obviously didn't want to give up at this time.

Because if they admit defeat at this point, Class D will really be cheated out of a lot of money by Class C. Not only will their points be lost, but there is a high possibility that Ken Sudo will be expelled.

By then, Ken Sudo, the only member of the basketball club, will disappear, and Class D will lose a powerful helper in future class struggles.

However, it was obvious that Sakura Airi had no intention of standing out at all.

After handing the photos to Hikigaya, she no longer thought that this matter had anything to do with her, nor did she think that she needed to bear any special responsibility.

She was not good at talking to people in the first place, and now she was unwilling to even make eye contact with him, and had no intention of facing Kushida at all.

What's more, the time and place chosen by Kushida were awkward.

In the depressing atmosphere of the classroom, everyone's attention was instinctively drawn to the two people in conversation, which further aggravated Sakura Airi's social phobia.

In the end, the girl didn't even dare to stay in the classroom. She quickly packed her schoolbag and tried to stand up.

"B-bye."

"and many more……"

Kushida looked at Sakura Airi who was fleeing with helplessness on his face and could only watch her arrive at the classroom door.

At this moment, Sakura Airi was too anxious and didn't look at the road while walking. Her shoulder accidentally bumped into Hondou, who was walking and chatting with friends on his mobile phone without looking at the road.

"what!"

In an instant, the schoolbag in Sakura Airi's hand fell, and the digital camera inside also slipped out.

Just as the camera was about to collide with the ground, Hikigaya was quick-witted and grabbed the digital camera that was about to fall to the ground, and pulled Hondou, who instinctively wanted to flee the scene and did not want to take responsibility.

"You almost broke someone else's stuff."

"W-what? It has nothing to do with me!"

Hondou is a boy with a bowl-cut haircut who looks as rustic as Sakura. When facing Hikigaya's questioning, his expression was full of panic and confusion.

Hikigaya said calmly, "Luckily I caught it, otherwise I would have to pay for it. This kind of digital camera would cost at least several thousand points, right?"

"How could I..."

Seeing Hondou looking panicked, Hikigaya said silently: "So it's a good thing I caught it. You don't need to compensate me, and I don't need any thanks. Just apologize to Sakura."

"I, this... okay."

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Hondou realized that he almost caused a disaster and nodded quickly.

Of course, the most important thing is that during this period of time, because Hikigaya has been exercising, his physique has become much stronger than usual.

The skinny Hondou-san didn't have the courage to look him in the eye, so he quickly looked at Sakura Airi and said, "S-Sorry, Sakura-san."

"No...it's okay."

Sakura hadn't expected this to happen, and surprise was written all over her face.

Then, she looked at Hikigaya cautiously and said, "Thank you, Hikigaya-san."

"It's okay. Don't be so careless next time."

Hikigaya put the camera back into Sakura Airi's hand, then turned around and went back to his seat.

"You seem pretty good at dealing with girls like that."

Suddenly, a girl's cold voice came from the back row.

Hikigaya inexplicably felt a strange feeling from these words, and quickly turned around and replied, "I just had a few chats with Sakura."

"We talked a few times... huh? When I was talking to her, she didn't dare to look at me the whole time and ran away."

"That's your problem."

"Besides me, Hirata Yosuke, Kushida and others also tried to talk to Sakura Airi, but no one succeeded."

Horikita Suzune looked at Hikigaya with complicated eyes, as if she was wondering what the charm of this guy was.

Hikigaya doesn't know how to explain the relationship between himself and Sakura Airi, or rather, he himself is not clear about what the relationship between him and Sakura is.

At this moment, Horikita Suzune's tone suddenly changed, and she slowly spoke in a complex tone:

"Hikigaya, did you know that Sakura was a witness to Sudou's fight?"

Faced with Horikita's blatant probing, Hikigaya did not hesitate for even a second and replied decisively: "What are you talking about?"

"You really don't know?"

"Do you think I care about this kind of thing?"

"..."

Horikita looked at Hikigaya deeply, and finally nodded silently, indicating that she was willing to believe what he said.

But in a sense, Hikigaya's words also completely determined the ending of Class D and Sudo -

This class is completely hopeless.

Most people in the class seemed to have similar thoughts, so much so that the entire class was silent to a terrifying degree, as if the world was about to end.

"You are all so useless! This matter is not my responsibility at all, why should I bear all the consequences?!"

Sudo Ken seemed to finally be unable to bear it and exploded completely.

"What else?" With everyone silent, Horikita Suzune spoke indifferently, "This incident was originally caused by you without authorization. You used violence and gave false testimony. I don't think this disturbance involving the school will only result in a punishment of 100 or 200 points. Now, it's only 87 class points and you accepting the punishment to solve the problem. It's really a big win."

"Don't be ridiculous, I am innocent. I only hit him in self-defense!"

"Self-defense is not such an innocent thing."

Sudou couldn't refute Horikita's words.

He looked around the classroom and found that most of the class, even Yamauchi and Ike, looked unwilling to say anything. He immediately said in dissatisfaction:

"What? You don't want to help me? I was the one who helped you in the beginning!"

"This……"

Yamauchi and Ike looked helpless.

They obviously did not want to be involved in this matter anymore, and were even very worried that they would get into trouble and be punished by the school.

Yamauchi then spoke decisively:

"It's not our problem. It's all Bipenguin's fault that Class D is like this! If it weren't for what he said in the classroom last time, we wouldn't be in this situation now."

It was obvious that Yamauchi Haruki wanted to shift the problem to Hikigaya. He believed that the reason why Class D was so hostile to them and unable to unite was because of what Hikigaya had said in class before, and it had nothing to do with him.

"Hikigaya?"

Because Sudo was suspended from school, he had no idea what happened in the class meeting. Now he couldn't help but look at Hikigaya with suspicion, thinking that the other party had done something terrible without his knowledge.

Seeing all this, Hikigaya himself couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

To be honest, even with Horikita Manabu's request, he didn't want to take care of this class anymore. He wished that these people would go straight to hell!

Chapter 187 Why does Hikigaya look so much like his brother?

Yamauchi's pace is undoubtedly very powerful. Although this guy is not good at anything, he has an amazing talent when it comes to disgusting people.

After hearing his words, most of the people in Class D couldn't help but look at Hikigaya, and they all followed suit.

“That’s exactly what I mean!”

"It's all Bipenguin's fault. What he said before was too much. As a result, no one in the class was willing to help Sudo, which led to Sudo's defeat by the people in Class C."

"Sudou lost the case, and Class D lost so many points. It turns out that Hikigaya is the culprit!!"

"..."

There is a saying that goes "Three people make a tiger."

Anything can be said to be white as long as there are enough people following the trend, even if it is black.

Although Hikigaya has no clear responsibility in the matter of Sudo, or even no responsibility at all, as long as most people in Class D think he is responsible, he will inevitably be "judged" by the class.

In the Middle Ages, this could be considered a trial of witches.

If they could, these guys would probably even put themselves at the stake.

Unfortunately, I am neither a witch nor is this the Middle Ages.

Being burned at the stake is still unlikely.

Hikigaya silently watched the Class D members in front of him who were pointing fingers at him, and endured everything with a calm expression.

He was very familiar with this kind of groundless accusations. He had seen it countless times in junior high school.

Human beings really are no different in essence.

And when the entire class began to accuse Hikigaya, Kikyo Kushida was undoubtedly unwilling to see this happen.

She first looked at the nominal leader of Class D, Hirata Yosuke, but found that his condition was very strange.

When Sudo Ken was declared the loser, his appearance gave people a very strange and twisted feeling. Now it is even more obvious that he has lost his determination as a leader, and he even exudes a gloomy feeling.

So, Kushida Kikyo realized that now that the leader had fallen, she could only rely on herself to solve the problem, so she quickly stood up and wanted to speak for Hikigaya.

However, to Kushida Kikyo's surprise, before she stood up to speak for Hikigaya, Karuizawa Megumi, who was originally sitting in her seat, suddenly stood up and spoke:

"Isn't what everyone is saying a bit too much? This matter has nothing to do with Hikigaya at all, right?"

There is no doubt that Karuizawa can no longer stand the other members of Class D targeting Hikigaya.

Although she was well aware that speaking up for Hikigaya would affect her status in the class, she couldn't care less at the moment.

"This... Since Karuizawa said so..."

Karuizawa still has a certain status in Class D. As soon as she said this, many students stopped criticizing Hikigaya.

However, although ordinary students could not stand up and say anything because of Karuizawa Megumi's face, students with similar or even higher status than Karuizawa could not stand it.

Among those girls who had a high status in the group of girls, and whose status was even higher than that of Karuizawa in some sense, a girl named Shinohara Satsuki was the first to stand up.

She looked at Karuizawa Megumi with a confused look on her face and said, "Karuizawa, what's wrong with you? Why are you still protecting Hikigaya? Aren't you Hirata Yosuke's girlfriend?"

"Shinohara-san, s-what are you talking about! Of course I'm Hirata-kun's girlfriend!"

"So you're still speaking for Hikigaya? Last time, this guy really rubbed your boyfriend the wrong way..."

Shinohara Satsuki's words were not obviously directed at anyone, she was just expressing her own confusion.

She still didn't dare to doubt Karuizawa.

However, Shinohara Satsuki's words still put Karuizawa in a dilemma, and he realized how strange it was for him to help Hikigaya.

If she couldn't find a suitable reason, her position in Class D would be shaken immediately.

There is no doubt that helping Hikigaya was an overly impulsive choice for her.

She currently does not have the ability to ignore other people's thoughts and make free choices.

Alas, these guys are becoming more and more troublesome.
