Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

"Hey, you two are actually moving together? Are you on a date?"

Hearing the voice, Hikigaya instinctively turned around and found a girl with pink hair. Seeing the slightly familiar face, Hikigaya quickly determined the other person's identity, Ichinose Honami.

The current leader of Class B.

Chapter 133 I really want to be friends with you, Hikigaya-san!

Ichinose Honami suddenly appeared on the road to school, causing Hikigaya and Horikita Suzune, who were on their way to the convenience store, to look confused.

They didn't expect that the leader of Class B would suddenly come to them.

"I'm sorry to stop you all of a sudden. Can I take up some of your time? If you were on a sweet and sour date, I would leave right away."

Horikita Suzune and Hikigaya responded almost immediately to Ichinose Honoki's serious questioning.

"There is no such thing!"

"That kind of thing is too terrible..."

Seeing the attitudes of the two, Ichinose Honami could not help but be stunned for a moment instinctively, then a subtle smile appeared on her face, and she slowly said: "Ahaha, that's true. Besides, as a date spot, this place is a bit too ordinary."

"..."

Ichinose's appearance seemed to have another purpose.

Hikigaya guessed this instinctively.

After all, he didn't think there was any intersection between him and Ichinose. Although they had met several times before, they were just simple chats.

He felt that in Ichinose's eyes, he was just an ordinary passerby.

That means Ichinose came to see Horikita, and they knew each other privately? Or even close friends?

Hikigaya couldn't help but have these thoughts, and imagined the two of them suddenly saying lines like "Hate, long time no see! How are you doing?" and "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine," and then hugging each other and yelling like ordinary girls. He felt that there was a high probability that he would foam at the mouth and faint on the spot.

Fortunately, what Hikigaya imagined did not happen.

Horikita Suzune was still looking at the woman in front of her with a cold, even wary attitude, just like in the past.

"What do you want from us?"

Hikigaya could sense from the tone of her voice that Horikita, like him, did not think it was a coincidence that they were approached in such an occasion.

"Uh, I just happened to be passing by."

Ichinose didn't expect Hikigaya and Horikita to have such an attitude. His originally smiling face was filled with surprise. "Isn't it normal to say hello to friends when you meet them?"

"friend?"

"Who?"

Ichinose's words made Hikigaya and Horikita look confused at the same time.

Putting aside the former, Horikita doesn't think she will be Ichinose's friend, and as for Hikigaya, she doesn't think there is any possibility for him to become friends with others.

When Ichinose saw the two's reactions, a look of disappointment appeared on his face. He said helplessly, "It seems that I was too sentimental. I thought we were already friends, Hikigaya-san."

"what?"

Ichinose's sudden words caught Hikigaya off guard.

Horikita Suzune also looked at the man next to her in surprise. She didn't expect that this guy, who was as withdrawn as herself, could actually make friends in this school.

Horikita instinctively questioned this.

On the other side, Hikigaya quickly retorted: "No, no, how can we become friends? Before today, we hardly talked to each other."

"That's right."

Ichinose nodded. She was obviously not the kind of weak girl. She did not feel disappointed or lost because of Hikigaya's words. "In the eyes of Hikigaya, I may really be just an ordinary stranger."

"But, whether it was the fact that Hikigaya-san helped me during the student council interview, or the fact that Hikigaya-san defeated all the opponents and was successfully selected for the student council, I have great respect for you, Hikigaya-san. I really admire you, Hikigaya-san, and I want to be a true friend with you."

"..."

Ichinose Ichiha's heartfelt confession stunned Hikigaya and Horikita Suzune.

Neither of them expected such a development and they were stunned for a moment.

Although Hikigaya didn't know how to answer at first, he quickly replied: "You, you think too much. I'm not as good as you think. I helped you just based on the atmosphere at the time. I'm not that interested in joining the student union. As for why I joined the student union, you have to ask the president. I don't even know why he chose me!"

Hikigaya explained everything in one go, not wanting Ichinose to continue misunderstanding him.

Who knows how much trouble that would cause.

Ichinose smiled and said, as if she had expected this to happen, "I know Hikigaya-san will say this, so I won't do anything that you don't want to see, but I really want to be friends with you, is that not okay?"

"This……"

Hikigaya didn't know how to respond to Ichinose's question.

Or the other party has completely blocked his escape route, leaving him with no other way to respond except to agree.

In this situation, Horikita, who had been keeping a distance, suddenly spoke:

"You are the leader of Class B. Is it really okay for you to be friends with students from our Class D?"

"what do you mean?"

"There are many conflicts between classes in this school. No one knows whether we will become enemies in the future. So, I don't think your choice is correct, nor do I think you can become friends with people in our class by your own will."

"..."

Horikita Suzune actually rejected Ichinose's idea of ​​making friends with Hikigaya from the perspective of class rivalry.

These words not only surprised Ichinose, but even Hikigaya did not expect Horikita Suzune to suddenly say such words to help her.

Could this guy...

For a moment, Hikigaya couldn't help but turn his head to look at Horikita, but found that the other party was just looking ahead and had no intention of looking at him at all.

At the same time, Ichinose Hoba couldn't find a suitable reason to face Horikita Suzune's rebuttal, so she could only smile awkwardly and said, "Yes, it seems that I have indeed gotten a little too proud of myself and forgotten how important my identity is... Thank you, Horikita-san, for reminding me!"

"You're welcome. I'm just telling the truth."

Horikita Suzune's attitude was as cold and overbearing as usual.

But this time, Hikigaya did not feel any aggression from the opponent's domineering attitude. Instead, he felt that he was being of great help.

No way, I'm not really a masochist, am I?

While Hikigaya was having all kinds of tangled thoughts and doubting whether he was normal, Ichinose Honami once again looked at Horikita in front of him with great respect:

"Since you can express such an opinion, it seems that you, Horikita-san, are the leader of Class D. Regarding the current situation of the two classes, I have a suggestion."

"proposal?"

"Well, I want to represent Class B and establish cooperation between classes with Class D."

Chapter 134: Is Hikigaya-san the leader of Class D?

"cooperate?"

After hearing what Ichinose Honami said, Horikita Suzune and Hikigaya Hachiman both showed slightly surprised expressions. They didn't expect the other party to suddenly make such a suggestion.

Ichinose spoke to himself, "Given the current situation of Class D, it should be difficult for them to gain an advantage in the future class competition. Every class's goal is to become Class A, so other classes should naturally unite to fight against Class A. Moreover, this school has never prohibited private cooperation between classes, which means that the school should condone cooperation between classes."

"Then why did you choose Class D?"

Horikita Suzune was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "With the strength of Class B, wouldn't it be a better and more suitable choice to cooperate with Class C to fight against Class A together?"

"..."

Hearing Horikita Suzune's words, Ichinose Hoba showed a slightly surprised expression, as if she didn't expect the other party to say such a thing.

After a brief silence, she slowly said, "It seems that you, Horikita, don't know anything about Class C. This is not consistent with the behavior of a class leader."

"Do not……"

When Horikita Suzune heard what Ichinose said, she realized that the other party had misunderstood her identity and hurriedly tried to deny it.

But Ichinose spoke to himself, "The leader of Class C is a man named Ryuen Sho. He is a man who will do anything to get what he wants, and will even use all kinds of despicable means to start class struggles. I don't think there will be any good things if we cooperate with him. It will only be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth."

Ichinose's words left Horikita and Hikigaya unable to react.

The former is due to the confusion caused by not having any understanding of Class C.

Hikigaya inexplicably recalled what Shiina Hiyori had said to him before, that the other party had said that their Class C monitor Ryuen Sho was an extremely dangerous man.

It seems that this statement is indeed true.

Speaking of Shiina Hiyori, Hikigaya couldn't help but think of the fairy-like beautiful girl in the library. He hadn't seen her for a long time, and for some reason he felt a little strange in his heart.

Of course, Hikigaya would not be affected by such emotions at all. As a lone ranger, he could not have any attachment to anyone other than himself.

While Hikigaya's thoughts were still jumping around as usual, Horikita Suzune had already understood Ichinose Honami's thoughts.

The other party hopes that Class B and Class D can cooperate with each other in becoming Class A, jointly fight against other classes, and even cooperate more closely in future class struggles.

There is no doubt that this is a very good idea. For Class D, which is currently stuck in a quagmire, it is a piece of pie falling from the sky.

However, Horikita Suzune could not agree with Ichinose's idea, or rather, she did not think she could take this piece of pie.

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree with you."

"why?"

Ichinose's face showed obvious confusion. She thought that she had given a perfect offer and Class D had no reason to refuse it.

Horikita Suzune shook her head helplessly and said, "It seems that you have been wrong from the beginning to the end. Ichinose-san, I am not the leader of Class D, and I am not qualified to be a leader. The leader of Class D is now someone else. You should go and cooperate with him."

"Someone else? Is Hikigaya-san the leader of Class D?"

After hearing what Horikita Suzune said, Ichinose instinctively looked at Hikigaya and acquiesced that the man in front of him was the current leader of Class D.

Hikigaya quickly shook his head and said, "How could it be me? The current leader of Class D is named Hirata Yosuke."

"Hirata Yosuke?"

Ichinose Hoba was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Oh, I've heard of this name. The girls in class A and class B were discussing it before. He seems to be a handsome guy with good abilities! It's a pity that if he is assigned to class D, it will be difficult for everyone to look up to him."

"Tsk, tsk."

Ichinose's words made Hikigaya realize once again the impact of the environment on people.

After this school put forward the concept of strength supremacy, invisible class differences have emerged among students.

The concept of class has silently appeared in the minds of everyone in every class.

I believe that in the next three years, as time goes by, this unforgettable thing will become more and more engraved in people's hearts, and may even produce something like a stamp of thought, giving birth to a concept like the pinnacle of the campus.

Well, if that’s the case, the senior students have been through so many years that it has been completely engraved in their minds!

Then hasn’t the person who is at the top of this school already appeared?

Could it be Horikita Manabu? !

While Hikigaya was instinctively guessing, Ichinose Hoba had already realized the situation and said with a look of regret, "Well, I didn't expect that the two of you are not the leaders of Class D now. I didn't investigate clearly and made a mistake. However, I have a feeling that one day in the future, you two will be the bridge between Class B and Class D and achieve true class cooperation."

"Huh, I'm not interested at all."

"That won't happen."

Horikita Suzune and Hikigaya responded in unison.

The appearance of the two made Ichinose reveal a subtle expression, with obvious complex emotions in his eyes.

"By the way, there's a student in your D class who might become a regular player in his first year, right? That's a really great thing! He might be a bit of a drag on you now, but he might become an asset to your class in the future."

"Official player, are you talking about Sudo?"

Hikigaya and Horikita quickly figured out who Ichinose was referring to, and confusion was written all over their faces.

It's understandable that Sudo could become a regular player, but why would the other party say that Sudo could become an asset to the class?

"Eh, Hikigaya, don't you know?" Ichinose looked confused when he saw the two's reactions. "Didn't your homeroom teacher tell you that the school will give positive reviews for club activities or charity events? As long as you participate in basketball games and perform well, Sudo-san will also be awarded points, and the class points will also be increased."
