Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

But before leaving, Horikita suddenly asked, "By the way, what's the situation with Ibuki from your class?"

"What happened to her?"

"Our class took her in."

"What? That guy went to seek help from another class? What a shameful woman." Ryuuen snorted dumbfoundedly and lay down again. "There are hopeless idiots in the world. I don't need subordinates who will disobey the orders of the ruler. Since I have decided to use the points of the class at will, this will be a decision. It will be useless even if I raise the flag of rebellion."

"In other words, Ibuki-san had a conflict with you over how to use points?"

"That's what happened, so I gave her a little lesson." Ryuuen finished speaking and slapped her face with his hand. "There was another man who disobeyed me, so I expelled him as well. I didn't hear any notice of his death, which means he must be eating weeds or insects to survive."

"I see. In other words, you gave up the exam on purpose because you knew there was a traitor and the class would get negative points from the beginning." Horikita Suzune made a clever judgment and guessed Ryuen Sho's 'plot'. "I didn't expect you would use the zero point incident to do the opposite."

"Haha, it's okay if you want to understand it that way." Long Yuanxiang said nonchalantly, "Anyway, our class's tactics have been determined. If you think that girl is too annoying, it's okay to send her back, because as long as she kowtows to me and apologizes, I will forgive her!"

"Your idea makes me sick."

"Haha, it's an honor."

Ryuen Sho smiled to himself, "After all, you ordinary people only have simple ideas, such as clinging to the points given by the school, investigating who the leader is, desperately occupying strongholds, and running around in the forest sweating. I find it boring from the bottom of my heart."

"Let's go back, Hikigaya-san. Staying here will only ruin your mood."

Horikita Suzune was extremely disappointed with Ryuen Sho's performance and turned around to leave.

Ryuen felt that he had said enough, so he turned to look at Hikigaya, "Dead Fish Eyes, are you going to go with her too? Don't you want to stay here and enjoy yourself?"

"I'm not interested in wasting my life."

"Haha, you are still as annoying as ever." Long Yuanxiang smiled and waved his hand, "But only with people like you, this school won't be too boring for me."

"..."

Can you please stop talking!

Hikigaya felt helpless when he sensed Horikita's suspicious look.

The two then turned and left, looked at the cruise ship docked at the pier, then looked at the students swimming in the sea, and the students singing the praises of volleyball, beach flag grabbing, and barbecue at the beach, and were about to leave this beach full of desire.

However, just as the two took a few steps, Hikigaya suddenly saw a figure walking towards him from a distance.

Shiina Hiyori had her silver hair draped over her shoulders, she was wearing ordinary sportswear, and holding a book in her hand. She did not look at all enjoyable, as if she was isolated from this world of desire. With a special coldness, she appeared on the path that Horikita Suzune and Hikigaya had to take to leave.

There was no blocking area on both sides, so they met quickly.

"Hikigaya-san?"

"..."

Feeling Shiina's surprise at first, and then her alert look at Horikita Suzune, Hikigaya felt his stomach suddenly ache.

The thing I least wanted to see happened!

Chapter 269: The meeting between Horikita Suzune and Shiina Hiyori!

Horikita Suzune and Shiina Hiyori finally met.

Although Hikigaya had been inexplicably wary of this matter from the beginning, no matter how careful he was, there were some things he couldn't stop just because he wanted to.

"Hikigaya... classmate?" Hearing Shiina Hiyori's words, Horikita Suzune turned around with a confused look on her face, "Is she someone you know?"

"Uh, well, yes."

Hikigaya nodded stiffly, because he felt that when he answered, Shiina Hiyori's expression seemed to waver with his words.

However, Horikita Suzune didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere.

After getting the answer, she calmly said to Shiina Hiyori:

"Hello, I'm Horikita Suzune from Class D."

"Hello, I'm Shiina Hiyori from Class C."

Horikita's strong performance made Shiina obviously uncomfortable.

"Shiina-san, it's amazing that you can be friends with a bad-tempered guy like Hikigaya." Horikita Suzune said calmly, "If most people talk to him, they will probably be pissed off to death by his mouth."

"Hey, can't you just scold me when I'm not around!"

Hikigaya couldn't help but complain.

"I wanted to do that, but unfortunately your presence was so low that I didn't even remember you were there."

"you……"

Hikigaya felt very helpless because of Horikita's arrogant and bad attitude as before.

When Shiina Hiyori, who was standing by, saw the interaction between the two, her expression became noticeably gloomy, and even her long silver hair turned dull.

After seeing this scene, Hikigaya's stomach couldn't help but hurt even more and he felt like dying.

"Is it okay for you, Class C, to continue like this?" After some basic conversation, Horikita suddenly changed the subject, "Your king is wasting points like that, he is simply destroying himself. Don't you, his subordinates, have any objections?"

"Yes, but we can't interfere with Ryuuen-kun's thoughts."

Shiina Hiyori shook his head slowly, looking helpless about the matter.

Hikigaya looked at Shiina Hiyori and couldn't see any sign of lying at all.

You know, his micro-expression analysis is enough to analyze whether different people are telling the truth through their eyes and temperament.

At this moment, when Hikigaya was almost certain that Class C had other plans, he was unable to tell whether Shiina Hiwa's words were true or false.

Either Shiina really didn't know what additional plans Ryuen had, or the other party's lies were able to deceive even his own observations.

Considering that the former is almost impossible to happen, the only possible scenario is the latter.

Ms. Shiina, so scary...

However, although there was nothing strange about Shiina Hiwa's expression or details, Hikigaya's keen observation still noticed that when Shiina lied, his fingers would involuntarily touch the ends of his hair.

This is an action that the opponent would not normally do.

I'm afraid this is a small detail that even the other party himself doesn't notice.

"Humph, I thought you guys were just coerced onto this ship by the king, but now it seems that you guys are just accomplices." Horikita Suzune looked at Shiina with disdain, "When the king was so unscrupulous, if you were willing to resist, maybe there would be a chance of turning things around. Now, you can just wait to be buried with that stupid king."

"Does Horikita look down on Ryuuen-kun's choice?"

It seemed that because the topic had come to the scope of the formal exam, Shiina Hiyori's aura, which had been vaguely suppressed by Horikita just now, actually recovered little by little.

Although Shiina is only a student in Class C, her personal abilities are definitely at the level of Class A, even far surpassing many students in Class A.

Hikigaya always felt that she was the most dangerous person in Class C.

At this moment, she calmly looked at Horikita Suzune in front of her and said calmly: "Although you may feel confused, in my opinion, Ryuuen-kun made the most reasonable choice."

"Why?" Horikita Suzune looked doubtful. "He's squandering points like that. I'm afraid he can't even last a day, let alone a week. What are you going to do next? Are you going to wait here to die?"

"That's right." Shiina Hiyori nodded. "If the school gives us 300 points, then it's impossible to enjoy a week's vacation. We have to eat simple food and give up entertainment, otherwise we won't achieve our goal."

"You obviously understand, but why?"

"But the situation of Class C is different. Ryuuen-kun never intended to survive a week from the beginning."

"Don't you want to make it through a week?"

"As long as the exam ends today, even if Class C uses up all their points, it won't have any impact, right?"

"This... Even if you said the exam would end today..."

Horikita Suzune frowned, she couldn't understand what Shiina Hiyori said at all.

Seeing Horikita like this, Hikigaya always felt that the other party seemed to be more anxious than usual. Otherwise, with his intelligence, there is no reason why he could not think of an answer.

"We can just do what Koenji in our class does." He hesitated and reminded, "I'm not feeling well, my mental state is unstable - in short, I can just find a reason to withdraw. Then the whole class can go back to the cruise ship life, which means they don't have to suffer at all and can enjoy their summer vacation to the fullest."

Hearing Hikigaya's words, Horikita Suzune frowned, "So, did that Ryuen really give up the exam from the very beginning?"

"Maybe."

Hikigaya didn't think this matter was that simple.

Otherwise, Ryuuen would never have allowed Ibuki to come to Class D as a spy from the beginning.

Because if the other party wants to leave the field together, the role of the two spy chess pieces will be meaningless...

It seems that I still need to go to Ibuki to test him and find out Ryuen Sho’s real purpose.

"This exam is very free, just as the name suggests. Ryuen-kun's idea might be one of the correct answers." Shiina Hiyori also spoke up, "What's more, Ibuki and another student are not in Class C right now. Dozens of points will be deducted every day just for roll call. Since we will lose points no matter how we save, we might as well take this decisive approach."

"Humph, if that's the case, then he should be persistent in thinking of ways to bring them back. I don't agree with such a self-destructive approach."

In the end, Horikita still couldn't accept Ryuen Sho's actions.

Finally, she turned around with a tired look on her face, as if she no longer wanted to continue the conversation, and was about to leave the scene.

Hikigaya wanted to leave, but unexpectedly, Shiina Hiyori suddenly said, "Um, Hikigaya-san, can you stay for a while?"

"This……"

In response to Shiina's request, Hikigaya instinctively glanced at Horikita.

The latter looked indifferent and said silently: "Then I will go back to the camp first. You can stop by the camps of Class A and Class B to investigate the situation and report to me when you come back."

After making unreasonable new demands, Horikita Suzune decisively left the scene.

Hikigaya was then left alone with Shiina Hiyori.

"So... aren't you going to play with the people in your class?"

As there was an eerie silence at the scene, Hikigaya had to take the initiative to speak and start a conversation.

"I'm not interested." Shiina Hiyori said naturally, "It's more interesting to read books with Hikigaya-kun."

"This……"

Oh no, my stomach ache is coming again.

And why is it that after being alone, even the way you address each other changes?

In order to dispel the confusion in his heart, Hikigaya quickly changed the subject: "Is that so? Reading is indeed very interesting."

"But just reading is not that interesting."

"..."

Hikigaya broke out in a cold sweat.

After all, the implications of Shiina Hiyori's words were too obvious, and the pretense of calmness that he had honed over the years as a lone ranger was almost losing its effect.

"Hikigaya-kun." After hesitating for a long time, Shiina Hiyori suddenly said, "Is that Horikita-san just now your friend?"

"Well, I can't really call her a friend." Hikigaya answered honestly, "I wanted to be friends with her before, but unfortunately I was rejected."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, so I'm just being ordered around unilaterally now."

After Hikigaya finished speaking, he noticed that Shiina Hiyori, who had a gloomy look in his eyes, suddenly became a little more energetic.

what's the situation?

Is it because my tragic experience is so funny?

"I, I won't order Hikigaya-kun around!"

Shiina Hiyori suddenly spoke.

Hearing the other party's words, which seemed to be strongly hinting at something, even if Hikigaya had doubts in his heart, he was unable to think in that way.

There's no way that Shiina wants to be friends with me.

Hasn't he experienced the consequences of being too self-conscious countless times in the past?

Hikigaya tried to calm himself down and not have any thoughts that might cause him to waver.

Otherwise it will only cause disgust from others.

Seeing Hikigaya fall into silence, Shiina Hiyori took a deep breath and said with determination: "Can I be Hikigaya-kun's friend? No, I hope to be Hikigaya-kun's friend, can I?"

"This……"
