Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"By the way, Hirata is holding a class study session tomorrow. Are you planning to attend?"

"Study meeting?"

Hikigaya was stunned for a moment before realizing what it was. "No, no, I prefer to study alone and don't like to get involved in troublesome things like that."

"That's it..."

Karuizawa Kei showed no reaction on the surface, but she couldn't stop feeling disappointed in her heart.

But she didn't say anything in the end, nor did she force Hikigaya to participate. She just left Hikigaya's room.

"Oh, go to sleep."

After seeing Karuizawa Megumi off, a strong feeling of fatigue surged from Hikigaya's heart. He fell directly on the bed with almost no strength left and smelled a unique fragrance of a girl.

Is this the one that Karuizawa was sitting here for just now?

This is really...

Without having time to think about anything else, Hikigaya fell into a deep sleep.

……

"Jingle Bell!"

The next day, Hikigaya's cell phone rang early in the morning because of the alarm. He woke up in a daze, only to find that his quilt was wet.

Dry!

It’s time to change the quilt!

Hikigaya sighed, trying not to recall what kind of subtle dream he had last night, then struggled to get up from the bed, and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

It was then that Hikigaya realized that not a single muscle in his body was not aching, and his legs felt like they were in plaster!

Damn it, the president is really a devil!

While complaining in his mind about the student council president who forced him to exercise, Hikigaya changed his clothes with great difficulty and stuffed the quilt into the washing machine.

After that, he tried to act normally and went to the classroom. When he arrived, he sat down in his seat.

Horikita Suzune was in a bad mood because she invited the failing group to a study session yesterday but was rejected.

She was originally looking out the window with a gloomy face. When she saw Hikigaya coming, confusion suddenly appeared on her face. She stared at him straight, "Did you suddenly forget how to walk? Why do you look like someone with cerebral palsy caused by polio?"

Hikigaya didn't expect that Horikita Suzune would be able to mock him at this moment, and he immediately said, "I was dragged to the gym by your devil brother yesterday to exercise. That president is simply not a human being. I feel like I don't have a single muscle in my body that belongs to me."

"..."

Hikigaya's words caused Horikita Suzune to fall silent.

The girl was silent for a long time before she spoke in extremely subtle words: "Are you trying to provoke me on purpose?"

"what?"

Hikigaya was confused by Horikita Suzune's reaction. He had no idea why the other party was so hostile towards him.

So, are you really a brother-con?

"If you keep thinking nonsense, I don't mind letting your few muscles feel what real pain is."

"No, I didn't think anything!!"

Hikigaya turned his head decisively in fear.

Sure enough, the attack power of the poisonous-tongued monster who had entered a low state increased by an unknown amount. Hikigaya no longer dared to provoke him at all.

Just then, he noticed a gaze coming from the far end of the classroom. Hikigaya thought it would be Kushida Kikyo and Karuizawa Megumi.

After all, these two people currently have some cooperation with me.

However, to his surprise, the person who was looking at him was not these two people, but Sakura Airi, who was in the corner of the class and had an extremely low presence.

The other person had been staring at him, but the moment he looked over, the girl lowered her head as if by reflex, like a frightened turtle.

Chapter 97: Did I turn you against Horikita?

Sakura Airi was secretly staring at him. Hikigaya noticed this but after thinking it over he didn't take it too seriously.

After all, what happened last night will definitely have some impact.

However, when Hikigaya himself recalled these things, he instinctively felt ashamed.

Because he himself is not good at doing this kind of thing.

In other words, he prefers to be passive and is not very good at taking the initiative to help others...

The reason why he helped Sakura Airi was purely because the other person's overly weak character reminded him of himself in junior high school, and he couldn't help but feel some empathy.

But after this experience, he vowed that he would never do anything nosy again!

During the break, Hikigaya picked up a novel borrowed from the library and started reading. He had recently become obsessed with science fiction series and had found many classic science fiction works to kill time. The one he was currently reading was the famous "Three-Body" series from neighboring China.

When he finished watching the first part of the Three-Body series and was excited by the classic line in the book - 'The Three-Body people who regard humans as bugs seem to have forgotten the fact that bugs have never been truly defeated', a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Can I bother you for a moment?"

"??"

Hikigaya turned his head in confusion, but before he saw the person, he first saw a pair of extremely broad and round breasts.

Almost instinctively, he determined the identity of the visitor - Kikyo Kushida.

"This...is there something wrong, Kushida-san?" Hikigaya moved his gaze upwards and saw Kushida Kikyo's smiling face over the high ridge.

"Well, I have something to tell you about what you said yesterday."

As Kushida spoke, he glanced gloomily at Horikita Suzune who was behind Hikigaya, implying that he didn't want the other party to hear this conversation.

"Okay." Hikigaya thought about it and nodded, then followed Kushida Kikyo to the outside of Class D's classroom.

After bringing Hikigaya to the corridor, Kushida Kikyo's face immediately showed an excited expression, and she said with a smile: "Hikigaya-san, I have completed the task you entrusted me with yesterday. Yamauchi-san and Ike-san have both agreed. Now only Sudo-san has not responded."

"So fast?"

Hikigaya was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Kushida Kikyo's actions would be so fast. The suggestion he just made yesterday had already been completed by more than half today.

"Yes, after hearing my proposal, Yamauchi and Ike agreed without hesitation." Kushida Kikyo smiled, but then a hint of helplessness emerged. "But Sudo, even when I tried to persuade him, he was still hesitant."

"this is normal."

Hikigaya had already guessed this would be the result. Sudo Ken's self-esteem was greater than that of Yamauchi and Ike Kanji combined.

I'm afraid simple words won't be enough to convince the other party.

"Anyway, keep trying. If you really can't do it, contact me again."

"Ok."

Kushida Kikyo nodded, "It would be great if through this reading club, Hikigaya-san and Horikita-san could get along well with their classmates."

"Eh?"

After hearing what Kushida said, Hikigaya felt that the other party had some misunderstandings. But before he could explain, Kushida Kikyo had already continued, "This school is really too much. If you fail the exam, you have to drop out... I finally became friends with everyone, but I have to separate because of this kind of thing. Isn't this very annoying?"

"At this time, I heard Hirata-san say that he wanted to start a reading club. I really admired him. However, Horikita-san was even more amazing because she was paying attention to Sudo-san and the others. So I thought that Horikita-san was also thinking about the class and friends. If I can help, I'm willing to do anything!"

Wow, regardless of whether the other party actually thinks this way in his heart, just being able to say such words is already top-notch.

Hikigaya admired Kushida Kikyo from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly explained:

"Yeah, this is all Horikita's fault. It has nothing to do with me."

"No, no, Hikigaya-san is great too! Please help with the next study session!"

After hearing what Kushida Kikyo said, Hikigaya said decisively: "No, I don't plan to attend the next study session."

"Eh?"

This made Kushida Kikyo look confused, "Hikigaya-san, wasn't it you who suggested helping Horikita with the study session?"

"Yeah, I just want to help Horikita, but I never said I wanted to participate." Hikigaya explained word by word for Kushida, "If possible, I even hope you don't tell Horikita that I am involved in this matter."

"Eh? Can't Horikita-san know? Why?"

A look of confusion appeared on Kushida Kikyo's face. She obviously couldn't understand why Hikigaya did this.

"I've already told you before that Horikita doesn't want to accept my help." Hikigaya said the reason he had made up long ago, "You know her, she basically doesn't want to rely on the help of others. If it's you, Kushida, who comes forward and gives her a way out, it's fine, but if she knew that I was involved, she would definitely not want to participate. In that case, I'm afraid that only we will participate in the study session, and Horikita will be excluded..."

"Eh? That feels pretty good."

"what?"

Hikigaya originally seized on the fact that Kikyo Kushida must want to get close to Horikita Suzune, and wanted to use this to persuade Kushida.

But Kushida's words left him in a daze.

"It wouldn't be a bad thing to attend a study session with Hikigaya-san. To be honest, it even makes me a little happy."

Kushida Kikyo said this with a smile on her face.

Wow!

What's going on with this guy?

Super cute!

However, Hikigaya would not be fooled by such a simple trick. He said calmly, "It's okay if you don't comfort me. I'm not good at this kind of thing. Kushida, you should try your best to help Horikita."

"Haha, so that's it. Then there's nothing we can do."

Kushida Kikyo said this with a disappointed expression.

At this moment, Hikigaya didn't even know whether the 'disappointment' shown by the other party was a disguise, because it was completely different from every performance in the past. Kushida Kikyo actually showed some disappointment just now.

Huh? what happened?

Do you really want to attend a study session with me?

This shouldn't be the case... Could it be that I have turned you into a lesbian with regard to Horikita?

Chapter 98: Hikigaya, are you and Horikita dating?

Of course, Hikigaya didn't really think that Kushida Kikyo was a yuri who liked Horikita Suzune. He was just joking in his heart.

Kushida Kikyo must have some deeper purpose in approaching Horikita.

But the other party actually had some hesitation about this purpose just now. The significance of this matter is really incomprehensible.

The only thing Hikigaya could imagine was that Kushida had some different ideas because of his previous suggestion.

Or to put it more bluntly, Kushida shifted his target from Horikita Suzune to himself because he saw his own value?

Oh my god, that kind of thing is so scary!

Let it happen at least ten years later!

When he thought about a dragon-level monster like Kushida Kikyo targeting him, Hikigaya was so scared that he trembled like a pitiful little white rabbit.

On the other hand, Kushida Kikyo did not realize that just one sentence of hers triggered the complicated psychological activities in Hikigaya's heart.

She just smiled and said, "Well, if you don't join, Hikigaya-san, you should at least know roughly how the reading club develops, right?"

"That's true."

Hikigaya nodded.

He speculated that the process of this reading club was bound to be thrilling, and if it could not be properly controlled, there was a high possibility that it would go wrong.

But he really didn't want to participate. After all, Horikita's cold eyes were still floating in front of him.

"In that case, why don't we just exchange contact information?"

Just as Hikigaya was thinking of a solution, Kushida Kikyo slowly spoke, "It's been so long since the start of the school year, and the only two people in my class who haven't registered their phone numbers are Hikigaya and Horikita..."

"Is this, like this?"

Hikigaya couldn't help but feel deeply humiliated when he found himself falling to the same level as Horikita.
