Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"You think I can't afford it?"

"Hehe, I just don't want to trouble Hikigaya-san."

Kushida Kikyo appears to be too gentle and doesn't want her classmates to spend money.

In fact, her words came from the heart.

After all, her goal was to get close to Horikita Suzune, and Hikigaya's request was not only not a trouble for her, but a great help.

So she didn't want Hikigaya to treat her again, or rather, if possible, she even wanted to take the initiative to treat Hikigaya to a meal.

"Okay, then I won't invite you."

Hikigaya also saw Kushida Kikyo's determination, so he shook his head, happy to save precious points.

The two of them then each ordered a cheap lunch set and sat in the corner of the cafeteria.

Hikigaya wanted to taste the food, but then he found that Kushida Kikyo was staring at him, which made him feel a little creepy.

"Hikigaya-san, what's wrong? You don't want to eat?"

"No, you keep looking at me, how can I eat this..."

Hikigaya Kazugen had a subtle look on his face. He wasn't the type of person who could be stared at closely and then eat his lunch as if nothing had happened.

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Kushida Kikyo quickly reacted and said apologetically, "S-Sorry, I really like Hikigaya-san so much that I accidentally..."

Omg!

This guy is definitely a monster!

If other boys in the class were told such things in front of others, they would probably swell up immediately and stand up instantly like roosters in the morning!

Unfortunately, when Hikigaya heard these words, his first reaction was not joy or happiness, but horror from the bottom of his heart.

So, he put down his chopsticks temporarily and spoke carefully: "Forget it, let's talk about the topic first."

"Well, it's more important to get down to business."

"I always feel that what you said is weird, right?"

Hikigaya looked at the smiling Kushida Kikyo and sighed: "Anyway, I hope you, Kushida-san, will help Horikita. The goal is to solve a problem that Horikita is about to encounter."

"Eh? How does Hikigaya-san know what kind of trouble Horikita-san is about to get into?" Kushida Kikyo looked curious.

Because if Horikita was in trouble now, it would be reasonable for Hikigaya to ask her for help. But since Horikita hasn't encountered any trouble yet, why can Hikigaya be so sure that she will definitely encounter trouble?

"Because Horikita Suzune is aiming to turn D class into A class."

Hikigaya took the initiative to speak and revealed Horikita Suzune's private secret.

If Horikita knew all this, she would probably use violence comparable to that of Hiratsuka Shizuka to twist her head off and kick it like a chamber pot.

So he had to keep it all secret.

"So Horikita-san has such a goal?"

On the other side, Kushida Kikyo was surprised by Hikigaya's news, and her eyes lit up brightly.

For this purpose, she even took the initiative to move closer. The two huge peaks were placed on the dining table in the cafeteria, looking full of great oppression.

"Cough cough."

Hikigaya shifted his gaze away from the undulating mountains in front of him and said decisively: "Yes, that's why Horikita Suzune's next goal should be to make those guys who failed in the class willing to study and prepare for the midterm exam."

"Is that so?" Kushida Kikyo nodded deeply at Hikigaya's words, "Ike, Yamauchi, and Sudo-san, they don't want to join Hirata-san's study group. If they continue like this, they will definitely be expelled from school because of failing."

"Yes, being expelled from school is likely to be linked to class points. I think Horikita can also think of this, so she is likely planning to gather those who failed and hold a study session for them."

"Study session? It seems like it's really possible..."

When Kushida Kikyo spoke, she looked at Hikigaya with a strange look. What the other party said seemed to predict some kind of future, which made her feel very surprised.

"Yeah, but unfortunately, Horikita can't make them willing to study. At least with her current method, it's 100% impossible to succeed." Hikigaya calmly predicted Horikita's failure and frankly stated his goal, "So, I hope you, Kushida, can help and make those people who failed the test willing to participate in the study session organized by Horikita. If you have the ability, you can definitely do all this and make those three people who failed the test willing to study."

Chapter 84: Hikigaya, are you a very smart person?

Hikigaya finished his words slowly. He thought that he had analyzed all the pros and cons of this matter for Kushida Kikyo, and there was a high probability that he would not be rejected by the other party.

Of course, there is also the possibility that Kikyo Kushida chose to refuse and was unwilling to help.

Although the girl had unilaterally agreed to help, Hikigaya had not yet fully seen through Kushida as an individual. He did not think that he was as simple as he appeared to be.

And then the whole thing would become more complicated.

However, Hikigaya always has some tricks up his sleeve when doing things. He does have backup plans, such as making himself the bad guy and uniting Class D through negative means.

Although he didn't want to attract too much attention in Class D, so he didn't want to resort to such a method that would almost involve self-destruction.

At this moment, Hikigaya, knowing what was going on, looked at Kushida cautiously and spoke slowly:

"This is what I'm asking, Kushida-san, are you willing to help me?"

"..."

In response to Hikigaya's words, Kushida Kikyo fell into silence, as if she was recalling what Hikigaya had just said.

After a brief pause, the girl's face showed a smile as usual, and she slowly said: "To be honest, what Hikigaya said today really surprised me. I didn't expect that you would care so much about Horikita-san, and you could say so many reasonable things."

"I can't help it. Horikita is so weird, otherwise I wouldn't come to you for help."

Hikigaya heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Kushida said, because it meant that the other party was willing to help. The next step was to reach a consensus. "Horikita is the only person I can talk to in this school, so it's only natural that I'm willing to help her."

"That's true. But, Hikigaya-san, you may have forgotten one thing." The smile on Kushida Kikyo's face suddenly dimmed. "Horikita-san really hates me. If she were to ask for my help, she would most likely refuse it."

"indeed."

Hikigaya could also feel that Horikita Suzune had always had an inexplicable hostility towards Kushida Kikyo. It was more of a rejection than disgust.

To be more specific, it's like the feeling I get when I face Ayanokouji.

Although the other party has not actually provoked me, I always don't want to get along well with him for some reason...

"It's highly likely that Horikita Suzune won't be willing to accept your help, Kushida. Well, I have a method here, and I'll see if you'll adopt it."

"Oh? What method?"

Kushida Kikyo's eyes suddenly lit up.

She didn't expect that Hikigaya would find a way to make Horikita accept her help, so that she leaned forward with excitement, and the mountains on her chest squeezed out a more obvious shape on the table. Hikigaya couldn't help but turn his head away quickly to prevent his mind from being severely shocked.

"Ahem, well..." Hikigaya tried his best to stay awake and not be affected by the impact of the big breasts in reality. "How to make Horikita Suzune willing to accept your help? The method is very simple. Just make sure she doesn't know that you are helping her."

"Eh? What does this mean?"

"It's impossible for Horikita Suzune to get Sudo and the others to participate in the study session on her own. When she is frustrated, you can privately take the initiative to persuade Sudo and the others to convene a study session, and then unilaterally invite Horikita to join. In this way, even Horikita will most likely not refuse in this situation."

Hikigaya described the subsequent plan to Kushida Kikyo as if it were a prophecy. "Also, even if Horikita Suzune's self-esteem is as high as the sky and she still chooses to refuse, you can also use words like 'this is the only way to upgrade Class D' to make Horikita consider the overall situation. She will then naturally follow the steps to start the work of the study session."

Hikigaya spoke of all his plans in a calm voice, and every step was as clear as if it were a prophecy of the future.

Kushida Kikyo's expression changed from relaxed at first, to serious later, and finally to surprise that could not be concealed...

She stared blankly at the boy in front of her who had almost no presence in the class. After hesitating for a long time, she slowly spoke: "Hikigaya, are you a very... very smart person?"

Kushida Kikyo couldn't find a good word to describe Hikigaya for a moment.

She originally wanted to use some darker derogatory terms, such as "cunning" and "perverted", but later chose more neutral words.

After all, Hikigaya has such a smart mind, but he behaves like an ordinary person who is completely ignored in Class D.

This is really surprising, and even makes people instinctively wary and fearful of it.

Hikigaya didn't bother to care about Kushida Kikyo's attitude towards him. Since he had already made up his mind to upgrade Class D, he didn't care what means he used.

"I'm just trying to help Horikita. In this regard, our goals are the same, right?"

No matter what Kushida Kikyo thinks in her heart, on the surface she is a kind-hearted person who is eager to help Horikita Suzune, an outlier.

Hikigaya is happy to take advantage of the character played by the other party to better achieve his own goals.

"Yes, I also want to help Horikita-san from the bottom of my heart." Kushida Kikyo said and glanced at Hikigaya, "I always feel that we are very similar. Hikigaya-san, maybe you and I can become good friends."

"Well, that's a bit..."

Hikigaya doesn't think that he and Kushida have anything in common. The gap between them is simply too huge.

"By the way, since Hikigaya cares so much about Horikita-san, does he have some special thoughts about her?" Kushida Kikyo suddenly spoke, with obvious ambiguous hints in her eyes.

"How could it be?!" Hikigaya was shocked when he heard this, "I don't dare to have any special thoughts about such a dangerous weirdo!!"

Hikigaya's words came from the heart. He was not a masochist. How could he possibly fall in love with such a dangerous and sharp-tongued weirdo? !

"That's it..."

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Kushida Kikyo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and seemed to be glad that Hikigaya didn't like Horikita Suzune.

To be honest, that look is very misleading.

Recalling the information he had previously instilled in Kushida about Horikita Suzune being a yuri, Hikigaya suddenly had some subtle guesses in his mind.

Could it be that Kushida Kikyo is a yuri who likes Horikita Suzune?

Chapter 85: How can chatting with a beautiful girl be as interesting as eating?

Could it be that Kushida Kikyo is the yuri who likes Horikita Suzune?

Due to Kikyo Kushida's overly abnormal behavior, Hikigaya couldn't help but have extremely subtle thoughts in his mind, but he quickly denied his bad imagination.

After all, he could see that Kushida Kikyo was essentially a more twisted individual.

Everything he said was a cover for the dangerous concepts hidden under that cute appearance.

Therefore, Hikigaya quickly returned to normal, and finally started to eat his lunch which had been left out for a while, in order to replenish important nutrients.

After receiving the plan provided by Hikigaya, Kikyo Kushida was in a good mood.

While eating lunch, she smiled and said:

"Hikigaya-san eats lunch alone every day?"

"how do you know?"

Hikigaya was slightly stunned, instinctively surprised.

Since he always had lunch in a different place, there was no reason why he would be caught by Kikyo Kushida every time. Or, even Masumi Kamuro from Class A couldn't track him, so it should be almost impossible for Kushida to catch his movements.

"It's just based on your habits." Kushida Kikyo smiled frankly, "Only people who eat alone every day will eat by themselves instead of chatting with others."

"Are you mocking me?"

Hikigaya was a little dissatisfied, but he couldn't refute it.

Because he did eat alone all year round, he developed the habit of just enjoying the delicious food when eating without considering the surrounding environment.

Or is this not a matter of course?

The rice and vegetables that the farmers have worked so hard to grow, shouldn't we, who are enjoying them unilaterally, treat them with the seriousness of believers, savor them carefully and not let others' efforts go to waste?

Isn’t eating more interesting than chatting with beautiful girls?

While thinking about various universal truths in his mind, Hikigaya ate the food in front of him more seriously, ignoring Kushida the whole time.

Faced with Hikigaya who had given up on himself and socializing, Kushida Kikyo had no choice but to bury her head in her food and look up at Hikigaya from time to time, as if she wanted to see through this seemingly insignificant guy in front of her and why she could come up with such a reasonable plan.

Hikigaya doesn't care about this because he doesn't think he is special.

Whether in terms of intelligence or physical fitness, he felt that he was just an ordinary person.

He is not an extraordinary person like Ayanokouji who appears to be very mysterious.

However, because of his solitary life for many years, when faced with problems, Hikigaya is always able to come up with ideas that ordinary people cannot see, and can also see through disguises and the truest part of a person.

In his opinion, these were just very 'ordinary' abilities, and he was actually nothing special.

Both of them were very satisfied with the meal. Hikigaya successfully obtained a useful chess piece, and Kushida Kikyo got the opportunity to get close to Horikita Suzune.
