Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Seeing the other person standing there, looking distressed but still stubborn, Hikigaya sighed:

"Then go to my room. There is mineral water in my room."

"…Thank you, thank you."

As if she hadn't expected Hikigaya to be willing to help her, Horikita hesitated for two seconds, then expressed her gratitude with a conflicted look on her face.

Seeing that the other party had fallen to this point, but was still pretending to be serious, Hikigaya couldn't help but recall the female knight who was caught by goblins in some animations. She was obviously about to be eaten up, but she still pretended to be persistent and said "Gu, kill me".

Yeah, the scene is exactly the same.

"Let's go."

Hikigaya sighed with a wry smile and walked in front of her.

Seeing this, Horikita followed, but suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

"Wait, wait a minute, will anyone see me like this?"

"There are almost no people in the corridor at this time, but we cannot rule out the possibility that someone might come out for a stroll in the middle of the night."

"Then I have to hide my hands first."

"Isn't it hidden by the kettle?"

"Hikigaya, you know, the greater the mass of a substance, the greater the damage it will do to a person. If I hit you with this hand with a kettle..."

"I'm sorry. I know I was wrong."

Faced with such a threat from Horikita, Hikigaya had no choice but to seriously help the other party hide his stuck hand.

He found some bath towels and rags nearby and helped the other party wrap up the kettle, but he inexplicably felt a strange and subtle feeling.

Seeing his appearance, Horikita couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"To outsiders, it looks like you're going to my room with a towel... Do you feel that there's something wrong with this?"

"Feeling of disobedience?"

"I just feel like there's something wrong..."

"No problem. I just want to get out of this kettle right now."

It was obvious that being trapped in the kettle for a whole day and night was almost driving Horikita Suzune completely crazy. She now lacked the patience to think about problems and didn't even want to waste any time.

Hikigaya could understand the other person's situation. If his hand was stuck in the kettle, he would probably be so tortured that he would want to commit suicide on the spot.

Well, I would really commit suicide on the spot!

Leave the room.

Because the towel was tangled around her hand, Horikita had to put her other hand on the towel, which prevented her from moving as quickly as possible.

But fortunately, the elevator was not far from her room, and it only took them a short while to arrive.

But just as I was walking towards the elevator, I heard the door of an unfamiliar student's room open.

The sound came from about three rooms behind the two of them.

"Thank you, Kushida-san. I will return the favor."

"No, it's okay, don't take it to heart, Maezono-san."

It seems that Kushida came to help his classmate Maezono and was about to go back.

Hikigaya didn't react much to Kushida's appearance, but Horikita's reaction was stronger than he imagined.

The latter grabbed him and hid in the aisle next to him.

"what are you doing?"

"I...that..."

Horikita seemed to be embarrassed to speak clearly, and lowered her head, her voice becoming weaker and weaker.

Hikigaya had no idea what she wanted to say, but it would be troublesome if he got separated from her, so he simply waited for her to come over.

After a long while, Horikita finally gave up and sighed and complained:

"I don't want Kushida to see us together..."

"You don't want to be seen by Kushida?" Hikigaya couldn't understand the other party's question. "She understands our situation, so there shouldn't be any misunderstanding."

If it were anyone else, Hikigaya might indeed feel a little embarrassed.

But he was quite confident in Kushida, after all, the other party was very clear about the relationship between him and Horikita.

"No, except Kushida." Horikita seemed to have an extra prejudice against Kushida, "There are a few things I cannot agree with about her actions."

"Something you can't agree with?"

"I mean the exam on the ship. She gave up on winning from the beginning and chose to cooperate with Ryuuen."

Horikita folded her arms across her chest as she recalled the special exam a while ago.

"This is a helpless choice." Hikigaya knew the inside story, so he had to help Kushida cover up. "If we let Class C continue to fight, we will most likely be defeated miserably."

"I'm not going to completely deny her approach, but it's really strange that Kushida took such action without consulting anyone in advance." Horikita criticized Kushida's behavior seriously, "Kushida said that she took action for Class D, but it stands to reason that hiding her identity as a favored person is the most correct choice. If she didn't intend to betray from the beginning, there's no reason for her to cooperate with Ryuen."

Horikita's meaning was very clear. It seemed that she was certain that the deal between Kushida and Ryuuen was not made for Class D, but was a change caused by certain factors.

I can only say that Horikita is worthy of being called such a great person. Even without any clues, he almost guessed the truth.

Unfortunately, the other party's words are destined to be just speculation, not the truth, because there is no evidence.

"That's your guess."

"Yes, but the probability is very high. I conclude that she is guilty."

Horikita intensified her tone and expressed her dislike for Kushida without hesitation.

It's not that Hikigaya doesn't understand the other party's thoughts, but he still thinks that the other party is too naive. This guy really lacks sufficient growth.

"No matter what you think of Kushida, it's a fact that she does better than you." In order to change the subject, Hikigaya chose to provoke the other party, "You are not jealous of her in your heart because you have never defeated Kushida..."

"boom!"

Before he could finish his words, the kettle wrapped in a bath towel collided firmly with the wall, and was only a few tenths of centimeters away from Hikigaya's waist.

My kidney was almost broken!

"what are you doing!"

"I think I have the right to be angry with you. Who told you to say such irritating words?"

"Then can't you be a little more merciful?"

Hikigaya simply couldn't stand this violent woman anymore.

To be honest, if he hadn't developed a strong resistance due to the violence of his homeroom teacher Shizuka Hiratsuka in junior high school, he would have raised the banner of resistance long ago!

"Hmph, I think you just deserve it." Horikita finally calmed down, "But you're right, I might be anxious because Kushida is doing better than me. I'm not sure if this is jealousy... But anyway, the first thing to solve now is to free this arm."

"alright."

Seeing that Horikita had learned her lesson to some extent, Hikigaya nodded.

He was about to leave the hidden corridor with the black-haired girl when he suddenly saw a figure walking outside.

"I heard some noise here just now." Kushida seemed to have come over to check the situation because of the noise made by Horikita. "Hey, Hikigaya-kun, Horikita-san, why are you here?!"

"Kushida?!"

Unexpectedly, Kushida discovered her presence. Horikita's whole body suddenly froze, and she couldn't move because of Kushida's gaze.

"I, we have something to do." Horikita took the initiative to change the subject and nudged Hikigaya's back with the hand holding the kettle, "Let's go, Hikigaya, we don't need to stay here long."

"oh oh."

Hikigaya nodded and was about to leave with Horikita.

But Kushida stopped them the next second and asked suspiciously, "Is that a bath towel in Horikita's hand? Why did you go out with a bath towel? And you asked Hikigaya to come with you?"

“What…what is this?”

Faced with Kushida's attitude that was as if he was possessed by a famous detective, Horikita was indeed a little confused. The last thing she wanted was for the fact that her hand was stuck in the kettle to be exposed, as that would severely damage her self-esteem.

After checking many details, Kushida's expression became more serious.

Finally, she said suspiciously, "Horikita-san, it's so late, you're not planning to take a shower in Hikigaya-kun's room, are you?"

"How can it be!"

"Then how do you explain the towel in your hand and Hikigaya-kun here?"

"..."

After hearing what Kushida said, Hikigaya finally remembered what the weird feeling he had felt before was.

Indeed, going out with a bath towel in the middle of the night is very strange no matter how you think about it, and it is impossible not to be misunderstood!

Chapter 413: The Maverick will always make wrong choices!

“This… this is because…”

After hearing what Kushida Kikyo said, Horikita Suzune, who was originally thinking about quickly taking down the kettle, suddenly realized the flaw in her hasty action.

She glanced at the towel wrapped in her hand and at Hikigaya who didn't say a word behind her, and her face suddenly flushed subtly.

"Because of what?"

Seeing her strange appearance, Kushida undoubtedly felt even more suspicious. She moved closer and tried to figure out the situation of the two here.

But Horikita obviously wouldn't allow Kushida to get close to him anymore.

In that case, there is a great possibility that the other party will discover her secret, which is undoubtedly something she cannot allow.

"Kushida-san, I think no matter what I do, you shouldn't interfere with me." Horikita had no choice but to take a tough stance to distance herself from him. "Even if I do something with him here, I shouldn't be told what to do by you, right?"

"This……"

Kushida was too embarrassed to come any closer to Horikita due to her tough tone.

But she was still unwilling to accept that Horikita and Hikigaya could do something in private while she was completely kept in the dark.

In desperation, she could only look at Hikigaya:

"Hikigaya-kun, don't you think I should know what you are doing? Don't I have the right to interfere with what you are doing?"

"..."

Although Hikigaya couldn't understand what Kushida was struggling with regarding his persistence, seeing his expression, he still wanted to give Kushida some help.

The most important thing was that he didn't think it was embarrassing for Horikita to have her hand stuck in the kettle.

Even if I tell others, I don't think anything will happen...

However, in order to preserve her own self-esteem, Horikita placed the front end of the kettle against her back, using it like the muzzle of a pistol.

At the same time, she grabbed his wrist with her other hand and said coldly: "You won't tell Kushida at this time, right? Do you know the consequences of doing so?!"

"Hey, hey."

This guy is even willing to make threats for the sake of his self-esteem!

Is it necessary to be so concerned about your hand being stuck in the kettle?

However, considering that he had already promised Horikita in advance, and that the president of a certain sister-con had asked him to take care of his sister, Hikigaya shook his head helplessly and told Kushida that he was powerless.

"I see, so I was just being sentimental..."

Hikigaya's choice seemed to have led to some terrible consequences.

After seeing his rejection, Kushida's already confused eyes became even darker for a moment, and even revealed obvious resentment and resentment.

"Kushida?"

"It seems a little late. I'll go back first." Suddenly, Kushida's face once again turned into that smile full of lies and falsehood. "Don't stay too late, Hikigaya-san, Horikita-san."

"..."

Under the surprised eyes of Hikigaya and Horikita, Kushida Kikyo turned around silently and left the scene without even the slightest bit of reluctance.
