Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Be it Ibuki Mio, Ryuen Sho, or even Katsuragi Kōhei, it is unlikely that they could have guessed Ayanokouji's method.

After all, the confidentiality of Horikita Suzune's illness was done very well. She has been holding on until now, and even the people in Class D didn't notice anything unusual, let alone people from other classes.

Then, will we just let Ayanokouji carry out the opponent's plan and let Class D win?

How should I put it, Hikigaya felt inexplicably nauseous when he thought about that kind of thing.

Even if they achieve victory in this cheating way, Class D will not be able to win, and Horikita will not be able to grow.

Everything will become a victim of Ayanokouji's plan.

Maybe I should do something...

No, I have to do something.

Whether for Class D, for Horikita, or even for his own plan to attack Class A, Hikigaya needs to disrupt Ayanokouji's actions.

After confirming his idea, Hikigaya glanced in the direction of Horikita and found that the other party had washed off the mud in the river.

In order to achieve his goal, the other party persisted until now despite the high fever.

Such a pure and strong character, even Hikigaya couldn't help but admire it.

Unfortunately, Horikita's shortcomings were too obvious, which caused the other party to fall into other people's schemes again and again and was unable to get out of the predicament.

Shaking his head, Hikigaya was about to look away when he suddenly heard the sound of water splashing coming from not far away.

"???"

He looked over in surprise and found that Horikita had fallen into the river unconscious.

Seeing this scene, Hikigaya didn't care whether the other person was still naked or not. He rushed into the river and carried the other person out.

"Please! Don't tell anyone else!"

After being brought back to the shore by Hikigaya, Horikita's first reaction was not to let him see her body, but to ask him not to tell anyone else about her illness.

For this reason, Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

This woman's stubbornness is almost beyond imagination...

Chapter 307: Horikita, you and Hirata are simply the dragon and phoenix of Class D!

Chapter 307

Even though her body was on the verge of its limit, Horikita Suzune was still unwilling to reveal the fact that she was sick.

Even Hikigaya was surprised by the other party's persistence.

However, Hikigaya would not allow Horikita to continue like this. If his physical condition deteriorated further, he would only fall into Ayanokouji's trap.

But it was impossible for Hikigaya to directly deny Horikita's wishes and tell Class D that he was sick.

That would cause this class, which had finally regained its unity, to fall into chaos again.

It seems that there is only one choice...

"Hel me up."

While Hikigaya was thinking, Horikita Suzune had gradually regained consciousness without realizing it.

Her willpower was truly beyond imagination. Even when she was sick with a fever and unconscious, she was still able to stand up from the ground with a straight face.

But the other party's behavior of intending to return to the camp without wearing clothes still proved that his body was suffering from illness.

"I will send you back."

Hikigaya sighed. He couldn't just leave Horikita like this.

"Thank you."

Horikita nodded silently, knowing that it would be difficult for her to return to the camp normally by herself and hide it from the other members of Class D.

"Put on your clothes first." Hikigaya picked up Horikita's sportswear from the ground and threw it over to him, then turned his head away so as not to look at the other person's wet, half-naked appearance.

However, he waited for a while but did not hear any 'rustling' sound of anyone putting on clothes.

There was only emptiness and silence at the scene.

"Horikita, what are you doing..."

Hikigaya turned around in surprise and found Horikita standing there in a daze.

It was obvious that the other party was confused and looked like he had no idea what it meant to wear clothes.

In desperation, Hikigaya could only cough twice in panic, then ran over and put on the other person's clothes himself.

During the process, Horikita Suzune did not resist at all, which made Hikigaya, who was worried that she would suddenly stand up and slap him, feel relieved.

Maybe because Horikita was sick, the black-haired girl behaved very submissively and even buried her head in his arms from time to time.

Could it be that this guy would become so well-behaved after being sick?

"elder brother……"

An inexplicable voice suddenly emerged from Horikita's mouth.

Hikigaya, who had just changed Horikita's clothes, was so frightened that he almost thought Komachi was beside him. After looking around in panic, he realized that the voice came from Horikita Suzune.

I see, the other party was confused due to the fever and confused himself with his brother, Horikita Manabu.

how to say.

When he thought that a sharp-tongued woman like Horikita Suzune was actually someone else's sister, he felt inexplicably complicated.

I just hope that Komachi can always stay as cute as she is now, and never become so twisted in the future!

Hikigaya then supported the dazed Horikita and walked towards the camp. When they were about to return to the camp, Horikita Suzune seemed to have finally recovered from her delirious state.

She glanced at Hikigaya who was supporting her and said with a complicated expression: "Thank you, I can do it alone from now on."

"Ah."

Hikigaya watched Horikita return to the tent to rest, and he found an empty corner to observe the situation of Class D.

He first looked at Ayanokouji and found that he was just like himself, sitting in a remote place doing nothing, but was actually observing something.

According to Hikigaya's observation, Ayanokouji seemed to be checking on Ibuki's condition, obviously paying attention to whether the bait he had laid could catch the fish.

However, how can Ayanokouji be sure that Ibuki will take action at this time?

And even if Ibuki captured the identity of the leader of Class D in the process, how could he be sure that this would happen?

Does he have anything else to rely on?

While thinking, Hikigaya suddenly remembered something and pretended to walk towards his own tent, but in fact he quietly slipped to the place where Class D kept their luggage.

Although the luggage of most people in Class D had been kept collectively and others could hardly rummage through it at will, the luggage of one person was placed alone in a distant place and was unattended.

That is Ibuki Mio from another class.

"really."

After opening Ibuki Mio's package, what Hikigaya saw was a damaged camera.

The inside of the camera has been completely covered with water. Even if water is drained from the outside of this digital product, once the inside of the camera is filled with water, it is doomed to be beyond repair.

After discovering that the camera was damaged, Ibuki Mio's first reaction must have been to realize that someone had discovered her identity.

This unconscious pressure would probably force her to take some extreme actions.

Since the camera can no longer be used, the only means left to capture Horikita Suzune's identity as a leader is -

Just take away the key card that Horikita Suzune is carrying!

The other people in the class, including Horikita, probably couldn't figure out that all this was Ayanokouji's plan.

Even Ibuki, who seemed to have taken the initiative, was actually just being led by Ayanokouji and became a pawn for the other party to realize his plan.

This guy Ayanokouji's strategies are one after another, he really deserves to be called the hidden devil.

About ten minutes after Hikigaya confirmed Ayanokouji's plan, Horikita Suzune suddenly walked out of the tent quickly.

She looked obviously a little strange, and she stood there for a while with her eyes lowered.

Then slowly raise your face and look around.

Finally, his eyes locked on Hikigaya.

"Hikigaya-san, could you come over here for a moment..."

"what happened?"

Although he had already guessed the answer in his heart, Hikigaya still asked in confusion on the surface.

"Come with me... there's no way to talk here."

Horikita said only this before leaving the camp and heading towards the forest.

Seeing the other person like this, Hikigaya sighed helplessly and took the initiative to follow him.

The other party kept walking inward until they were so far away that they could no longer see the camp, and then they stopped.

"I'm sorry, I was careless... I knew my condition was so bad, but I still held on and made a big mistake..."

This was the first time that Horikita Suzune showed such a vulnerable state. She seemed to be very resistant to sharing her troubles with others, and she appeared conflicted and uncomfortable.

"Was the key card stolen?"

"how do you know?"

When Hikigaya guessed the truth right away, Horikita showed a confused expression.

But her condition prevented her from thinking further, so she could only continue, "Yes, as the class leader, my key card was stolen. This was entirely my mistake."

At this moment, Horikita was in self-loathing, with an expression that Hikigaya had never seen before.

That was an expression that only a true low-class person like Hikigaya would show.

Horikita Suzune's faith is probably facing its most severe test.

If you are not careful, the self-esteem and self-confidence that the other party has built up so far may suffer a huge setback and fall into the abyss.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because I want to ask you to find the stolen key card." Horikita Suzune asked, "Hikigaya, even though I always look down on you, I know in my heart that you can do things that I can't. That's why my brother chose you and regarded you as someone he can truly trust. Even though he has never looked at me so seriously..."

Due to the double blow of illness and stolen key card, Horikita Suzune has completely lost her past confidence and initiative.

She even showed Hikigaya her most vulnerable and inferior self-esteem.

It's conceivable that Horikita has really reached her limit...

"I'm not as powerful as you think." Hikigaya shook his head, "Your brother never valued me as much as you thought, and I can't get the stolen key card back."

"It is because I trust you that I tell you this." Horikita Suzune's eyes were dark. "I have never thought that I must find the key card, but at least I have to try."

"Why don't you tell the rest of the class?"

"Because I will never discuss this with someone who might be the criminal, and this is something so embarrassing that I want to die..."

"Won't it be embarrassing to tell me..."

"Yes."

How much this guy despises me!

Hikigaya was numb. He suspected that in Horikita's eyes, he was just an ant, which was why he didn't even show basic self-esteem in front of him.

"This time, everything is my fault." Horikita lowered her head in regret, "It has nothing to do with the fact that I was unwell and covered in dirt. I shouldn't have let go of the card even for a second, but I..."

"Hey, Horikita, it seems you made a mistake about something very important."

Finally, Hikigaya couldn't stand Horikita Suzune's self-destructive behavior anymore, so he slowly spoke.

"what are you saying?"

Horikita clearly didn't understand what Hikigaya meant, and bit her lower lip in regret.

"Although I have always criticized Hirata and thought he was the culprit that caused this class to fall into chaos, but, Horikita, I have never thought that your bad behavior is worthy of praise."
