Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

He felt his face inexplicably hot, even to his ears. Hikigaya was thankful that it was dark enough here so no one would see him in such an embarrassing state.

Before he could answer, Horikita's voice continued.

"It is because of you, the worst case example, that I realized what kind of end will come to people who are too averse to socializing, so it's all thanks to you."

Okay, preface retracted.

This woman is really not cute at all!

Chapter 281: That sister-con president won’t strangle me to death, right?

The dawn light shines.

Hikigaya woke up on a soft bed made of a cardboard box.

After a full night's rest, his energy was finally restored to some extent, and his shoulders, which had been stiff all day, gradually softened.

It seems that I was right to ask Karuizawa to suggest improving the beds.

At least I don’t have to suffer from any joint diseases or get a stiff neck…

Although the boys were noisy and chatting in the tent last night, Hikigaya, who never participated in any topics, was not affected at all.

He naturally fell into a baby-like sleep and woke up before everyone else the next day.

This is all thanks to the devil Horikita Suzune who didn't assign herself any unfinished tasks at the last minute.

If you are a masochist, you might even be grateful to him, just like a corporate slave who is grateful to his boss as long as he doesn't have to work overtime.

This kind of corporate joke is bad enough just to think about.

So Hikigaya didn't want to become like that no matter what.

"Wow."

Without disturbing the others in the tent, Hikigaya carefully opened the tent curtain and came out.

Although the uninhabited island test has come to the third day, everyone has become accustomed to this daily life away from modern life, but really adapting to such a life is still a difficult test for the willpower of ordinary people.

Hikigaya still hasn't fully adapted to this kind of life, so he woke up so early today.

Under normal circumstances, he could have slept for at least another 20 minutes.

The cool breeze in the early morning blew away the heat that had accumulated throughout the night, and Hikigaya's brain also became clear.

He walked from the tent to the river and washed his face with the cool river water.

Just then, he heard a noise behind him.

If this were some kind of fighting anime, some people would probably want to break their necks from behind or push their heads under water.

Although reality would not develop like this, Hikigaya still instinctively turned his head and found that a girl with long black hair, Horikita Suzune, was walking towards him from a distance.

As the two looked at each other, Hikigaya recalled what happened last night and turned his head away for no apparent reason:

"Hey, good morning..."

"..."

Horikita Suzune stared at him for several seconds, and finally sighed, "The first thing I saw when I woke up in the morning was your face. It really made me feel really bad."

"Hey, is my face something that would make you feel bad?" Hikigaya didn't expect Horikita to react like this, and he was so angry that he quickly said, "My sister used to say that I have a face as handsome as Kimura Takuya!"

"Kimura Takuya? He is Kimura Takuya's younger brother. Kimura is hiding from his debts."

"Kimura Takuya doesn't have that kind of brother!"

Hikigaya couldn't hold it anymore.

He actually thought that after going through so many things, Horikita Suzune's personality had changed, and maybe she could get along with him in a friendly way.

That's why he took the initiative to say hello.

As a result, I was so angry at the other party that I felt a stomachache after just one encounter.

It turns out that I will never be able to get along with this woman in my life!

At the same time, after seeing Hikigaya's attitude, Horikita Suzune inexplicably relaxed and walked over with a smile on her face.

"Are you awake so early? It seems that your sleep quality is not very good. Do you need me to arrange some extra work for you to reduce your sleep time?"

"Shouldn't I increase my sleep time if I don't get enough sleep?"

"Ah, don't you know? Sleeping too long will affect your IQ and damage your brain."

“Is that true…?”

"Yeah, but I don't think it will have any effect on you. After all, your IQ can't drop to a negative number, so go back to sleep."

"Even if your tone is so gentle, it doesn't change the fact that you are hurting me."

Hikigaya sighed, he really couldn't stand Horikita Suzune's sharp tongue.

He then took a step back and wanted to turn around and leave the scene.

At this moment, he noticed that Horikita Suzune squatted down and was about to wash her face with the river water, but she leaned forward too much and was about to fall into the river.

Hikigaya was so frightened when he saw this that he quickly grabbed Horikita's arm and pulled her back.

"What are you doing?"

"..."

The black-haired girl seemed confused about Hikigaya's shock, looking at the man in front of her and the way he grabbed her arm.

The next second, Hikigaya felt that the other person was looking at him as if he were garbage.

He was so scared that he quickly let go of the other person.

"Are you still asleep? Why did you wash your face and then wash yourself into the river?"

"So that's it..."

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Horikita Suzune finally realized what she had just done. She stood there with a frown on her face and shook her head, "I am a little sleepy. Thank you."

"oh oh?"

Horikita Suzune actually thanked her honestly.

Although this was normal for most people, Hikigaya felt that something incredible had happened to this woman who was almost the embodiment of a sharp tongue.

He then paid closer attention to Horikita's condition and discovered that the girl's face was noticeably pale, with a lack of distinct color on her lips and neck.

After he asked Karuizawa to make suggestions and improve the sleeping environment of the whole class, the quality of their sleep should have been higher than before, but Horikita Suzune's condition became worse than before.

Hikigaya really couldn't blame this situation on his period anymore.

Horikita must be sick...

Generally speaking, if you are sick you should go to the hospital for treatment, or at least take the right medicine, in order to get better.

It is okay to rely on the body's own recovery, but you must ensure long periods of rest and try to ensure adequate nutritional intake.

However, it seems difficult for Horikita to do both of these things at the moment.

First of all, the place where they are now is the examination venue specially prepared by Tokyo Metropolitan High School, an uninhabited island far away from modern society.

There may be wild animals and plants on the island, but it is obviously a bit far-fetched to expect to find wild medicines.

Even on the school's list of items that can be purchased with points, there is nothing related to medicine.

Secondly, it is difficult for Horikita Suzune to have a chance to rest now, because she is not only the leader of Class D, but also promised Hirata to assist him in managing the class.

Class D is a class that is very easy to fall into chaos. Not only does Horikita Suzune not have many opportunities to rest, but she also has to deal with all kinds of troubles all the time.

Even if it is just a minor illness, with her level of fatigue, it can easily become more serious if it is not treated properly, or even cause her body to collapse.

Therefore, in Hikigaya's opinion, there is only one way to solve the problem, which is to let Horikita withdraw from the competition and return to the cruise ship for treatment.

There is a special health room on the cruise ship, and a large amount of medicine is prepared, so it won't be too difficult to cure Horikita.

The only problem is that if one person withdraws from the competition, the class will be deducted 30 points. It is difficult for Horikita Suzune to make up her mind to create a burden for the class. Moreover, the other party is also a leader, so it is difficult for her to give up her responsibilities halfway.

Thinking of this, Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh:

"Horikita, are you okay?"

"fine."

Horikita originally wanted to answer like this, but she seemed to feel that her words were not convincing, so she sighed with a little melancholy, "Well, it seems that there is something wrong with my body. I found it before I came to the island."

She said this and lowered her head dejectedly.

Oh, I didn’t expect this guy to be defeated. I thought this woman would never get sick in her life.

As expected, under the disease, all beings are equal...

"But it should be okay." Even though she admitted she was sick, Horikita Suzune still insisted stubbornly, "Thanks to Karuizawa-san's suggestion, I can rest better with that bed, and maybe I will recover naturally next."

"Well, if you think so..."

Hikigaya nodded silently.

But his reaction obviously surprised Horikita Suzune, "Aren't you going to stop me? If I continue in this state, I might even drag down this class."

"Even if I try to stop you, you won't give up."

Hikigaya stared at the other person with a knowing look.

After spending such a long time together, he already knew Horikita very well and knew that she was a stubborn woman. "Could it be that because of me, you will choose to withdraw from the competition and return to the cruise ship for treatment?"

"No."

"That's fine."

"..."

Hikigaya's words caused Horikita Suzune to fall silent.

The black-haired girl stood there silently for a long time before she slowly spoke: "I didn't expect to be comforted by someone like you. I'm almost as depraved as you."

"Same here, I never thought there would be a day when I would be able to comfort a guy like you."

"It seems that everyone has their strengths. Even someone like you, Hikigaya, who is full of flaws, has your unique advantage."

"Is my advantage that I can drag others down with me?"

“Haha, this is a great advantage.”

Horikita Suzune said this with a slight smile.

However, this smile only lasted for a moment, and she suddenly stood up: "I'm going to go back and rest first."

"Ah."

Looking at Horikita Suzune's departing back, Hikigaya said nothing more.

Although he supported Horikita on the surface, he had already decided in his heart that if her health deteriorated further, he would force her to withdraw from the competition.

Although doing so might make Horikita Suzune dislike him, he didn't care about other people's opinions of him. All he had to do was to have a clear conscience.

The most important thing is, if the president knew that I watched the other person's sister fall seriously ill and I did nothing, I would definitely be strangled to death by that sister-con on the spot.

This is the only thing that must be avoided!

Chapter 282: Ichinose has completely surrendered to Hikigaya

After the morning roll call, Hikigaya discovered that Horikita looked better than before and could even command the class camp.

Although he felt that it was most likely that Horikita Suzune was just holding on, since she still had the ability to hold on, it meant that her condition had not yet reached its worst point.

He was too lazy to do anything special.

While no one was paying attention to him, he secretly left Class B's camp and headed towards the beach.

Arriving at the beach, the exaggerated scene of Class C using points recklessly had completely disappeared.

Or to be more specific, the entire Class C had left and returned to the cruise ship.

The C class camp, which had been partying until yesterday, now had only a pile of garbage left and had become quite deserted.
