Hikigaya doesn't want to be a force of strength

Chapter 147: Kushida, You've Fallen into a Trap

On the campus path at night, the most popular beautiful girl in the class was holding his hand and burying it in her chest.

Hikigaya even suspected that he would be able to recall the tenderness of that moment in his dreams.

But at the same time, this also made him strongly doubt reality. He was completely unable to understand the nature of Kushida and why he could do such an exaggerated thing so easily.

For Kushida, is the personality he displays so important?

Confused, Hikigaya took the initiative to ask: "Kushida, do you really not want others to know what happened tonight?"

"if not?"

Kushida Kikyo had an indifferent expression, but at the same time exuded an amazing madness, "I won't wash this uniform, I will leave it in the room. If you dare to tell anyone about what happened tonight, I will hand it over to the police immediately!"

Kushida Kikyo said as she continued to hold Hikigaya's hands in place and glared at him fiercely.

This experience, which he didn't know whether to be wonderful or terrible, made Hikigaya feel more and more complicated. He could only sigh from the bottom of his heart:

"I see. Are you the type who values ​​other people's opinions more than your own?"

As the lone ranger in the class, Hikigaya has been observing different types of people, and regards observing other people's inner thoughts as a way to pass the time.

Naturally, he had analyzed people like Kikyo Kushida before.

Kushida, and people like her, always prioritize other people's affairs and put other people's attitudes first in their lives. However, this does not mean that they care about others very much, but they just express their concern to others in order to gain recognition feedback.

In short, they don't like the act of "being willing to help others", but they like the personality of "being willing to help others".

They have an unlimited desire to gain the favor of others and experience inner satisfaction from such behavior.

Of course, although Hikigaya understands this personality type, among people with this personality type, Kikyo Kushida is also one of the most extreme ones.

This can be seen from the fact that the other party, in order not to expose the secret, even takes the initiative to let himself be touched.

It can be said to be pathological.

Hikigaya felt the touch on his hand and sighed, "Does it have to go to this extent? To keep a secret, he would take the initiative to do this..."

"Do you think I'm happy?!"

Kushida Kikyo seemed to be very unhappy with Hikigaya's scrutinizing attitude, and a clear expression of dissatisfaction appeared on her face, "I don't like people like you and Horikita at all, but why should I pretend to have a good relationship with you? Because I want everyone to like me, no matter how difficult it is, I have to do it!"

"..."

Kushida Kikyo's performance left Hikigaya silent.

He didn't mind Kushida directly saying 'I hate him', but he didn't expect the other party to lose his mind and tell everything.

This made Hikigaya realize that Kushida was not as cold and crazy as he thought. In fact, the hysteria he displayed was just a manifestation of fear.

After all, a truly cold-blooded and crazy person will never lose his rationality under any circumstances.

The fear and weakness shown by Kikyo Kushida would easily become shackles that could be exploited if discovered by a truly cruel and crazy person.

Unfortunately, Hikigaya is just such a person.

"I see, you want everyone to like you."

After roughly grasping the situation, Hikigaya gradually changed his mindset, and his expression and tone also changed unconsciously.

He already had a rough idea of ​​how to deal with the matter of Kikyo Kushida.

Kushida did not notice the change in Hikigaya's attitude. She continued to talk to herself, "Otherwise, is it a bad thing to try to make everyone like you? Do you know how difficult and hard it is? You can't possibly understand, right? But this is the way I want to live, because it really makes me feel the meaning of my existence."

I really don't understand.

Because I don’t have many friends, or even no friends at all…

Hikigaya had masochistic thoughts in his mind, and at the same time looked at Kushida in front of him.

Since the beginning of the school year, Hikigaya has been observing every student in Class D, analyzing the nature and psychology of different people, and Kushida Kikyo is naturally included among them.

He often found Kushida chatting with other students in the class, exchanging contact information, and even inviting them out for outings, day after day.

It would be difficult for anyone to persist in such a difficult task, because no one is willing to devote all their time to people other than themselves.

However, Kikyo Kushida did it.

He simply couldn't imagine how much perseverance the other party had to do all this.

Hikigaya has always respected different people's lifestyles, and because his own lifestyle is special enough, he does not have any criticism of Kushida's performance.

He even admired Kushida a little.

After all, even if it is a fake thing, if a person can play the role of "fake" for a lifetime, then this so-called "fake" will be no different from the truth.

Of course, what really makes Hikigaya interested in him is the significance of Kikyo Kushida to Class D.

Hikigaya actually has enough power to completely destroy Kushida right now, but Kushida is now an important individual in maintaining the existence of Class D. She must not be destroyed now. Instead, she should be turned into a suitable chess piece.

Thinking of this, Hikigaya spoke slowly in the same tone he used to deceive Karuizawa Megumi:

"I see. I finally understand you, Kushida... But unfortunately, do you really think you can make everyone like you?"

"what are you saying?"

Kushida didn't notice the change in Hikigaya's attitude. He just thought that the other party wanted to deny him, so he rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction.

Hikigaya calmly said, "In the current D class, no matter what you do, you can't make everyone like you... No matter how hard you try, you can't surpass them."

"them?"

Seeing that Kushida's attitude was taken away by him, Hikigaya smiled slightly and said very seriously:

"I'm talking about Hirata Yosuke, Karuizawa Megumi, and Horikita Suzune... You can't surpass them in Class D."

"What did you say?!"

"Haven't you figured it out yet? In Class D, the current nominal leader is Hirata Yosuke. His abilities far exceed yours, and he's recognized by almost the entire class."

"Hirata's words are indeed..."

Kushida Kikyo hesitated, but finally agreed reluctantly.

However, Kushida still did not completely agree with Hikigaya's words. After all, unlike Hirata Yosuke, Karuizawa Megumi and Horikita Suzune, she was not convinced by the other two people at all!

Hikigaya didn't care about this.

Because the moment Kushida showed concern for his words, the other party had already fallen into the trap he had set.

Because some questions have been blocked, the author has modified and reviewed it again. You can refresh it after the review is completed. Please wait patiently.

Chapter 148: Kushida Kikyo, don’t you want to be truly respected by others?

Hikigaya saw through Kikyo Kushida's psychology, or rather, after such a long period of contact since the start of school, he had already roughly grasped the essence of Kikyo Kushida.

The other party is a very smart person who knows how to use his appearance and innocence to easily gain the favor of others. His sister Hikigaya Komachi also has similar characteristics.

But Kushida Kikyo is different from Komachi. The other party is too extreme in pursuing the attention of others, and as a result, ignores their own existence.

In other words, everything Kikyo Kushida did was just to please others. She hoped to gain recognition from others by constantly showing kindness to others.

In a sense, this method can indeed gain a good response.

But this is ultimately a cheap trick.

People like Yamauchi Haruki and Ike Kanji might be deceived by her disguise, but Koenji, Ayanokouji, Horikita Suzune, and even Sudo Ken, are not people who would be bewitched by her for no reason.

Because Kushida Kikyo's methods essentially rely on appearance and calculation. Even if this evil approach reaches its peak, it is still just an evil approach, and it is impossible to make everyone fall in love with her.

Giving yourself a role and behaving like that role all the time, to put it nicely is called "building a brand image", to put it bluntly it is just "creating a false personality".

If you meet someone who is truly capable, you will be exposed almost instantly.

Therefore, Kushida Kikyo pursues everyone's favor so extremely, because she herself lacks the confidence to make everyone like her, so she does everything desperately to do everything well.

From these perspectives, Hikigaya determined the way to talk to Kushida Kikyo, and spoke frankly in a prepared tone: "You look down on Karuizawa and Horikita? But in fact, in my opinion, you are actually not as good as them."

"Why?"

Of course, Kushida Kikyo was not convinced.

Hirata Yosuke now has a very high prestige in Class D. Let’s not talk about it for now. Karuizawa and Horikita Suzune’s prestige in Class D is even lower than hers. Kushida naturally would not accept this statement.

"Karuizawa's status among the girls is quite high now." Hikigaya spoke as expected. "She relied on the point trading system and the examination papers of seniors to easily gain the support of most girls and the recognition of some boys. People like Yukimura obviously prefer people who can get things done."

Leaving aside the reputation of girls, Hikigaya has been able to clearly feel the change in Karuizawa's reputation among boys during this period.

Although most of the boys still feel a little awkward because she is Hirata Yosuke's girlfriend, some of the boys in Class D, such as Yukimura Teruhiko and Miyake Akito, have more or less recognized Karuizawa's abilities.

At least no longer treat the other person as a mere vase.

"This……"

Kushida could not respond to Hikigaya because she was aware of Karuizawa's recent performance and knew that she was not capable of doing something like that.

Whether it was formulating a point trading system or getting the test papers for senior grades, these were not things that could be easily accomplished with her brain.

"Even so, what about Horikita?"

"Horikita certainly has her advantages."

Hikigaya had already guessed Kushida's reaction, and knew very well that she would be dissatisfied, so he slowly spoke with the expectation of igniting the flame in her heart: "First of all, Horikita Suzune is a good student. She is a good student second only to Koenji and Yukimura Teruhiko. This is recognized in the class."

"What's the use of studying well?"

"It may seem that being good at studying is useless, but in the last reading club, she used her ability to tutor several people who failed the exam and helped them pass the midterm exam... The whole class knows about this. There is no doubt that the people in the failing group have recognized her."

"This……"

"Secondly, Horikita deliberately gave herself a low English score in order to help Sudo pass. Regardless of her purpose, in the eyes of the other students in Class D, she showed an image of diligence and responsibility, which greatly increased the favorability of the other students in the class towards her."

"..."

Kushida Kikyo stopped talking.

She had also understood a lot from Hikigaya's words, and realized that Horikita Suzune and Karuizawa Megumi, whom she had looked down upon before, were no longer the same as they used to be.

But she still couldn't admit defeat.

"Even so, I can still..."

"I'm sorry, Kushida, what advantages do you think you have now?"

Hikigaya's tone was almost indifferent. He did not intend to show any mercy and was determined to completely expose the cruel reality for Kushida. "In terms of leadership ability, you are not as good as Hirata Yosuke. In terms of influence within the class, you are not as good as Karuizawa Megumi. You also don't have the foundation like Horikita to tutor others."

"What do you think of your image in Class D now? What kind of person is Kushida Kikyo in the eyes of others? Will anyone rely on you? Or do most people think that people like you are dispensable, and no one would care even if you disappeared?"

"Don't, don't say it..."

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you are not as good as them. You have not won over them in any way."

"I told you to stop talking!!"

Kushida Kikyo finally exploded completely. Of course, even in this situation, she still held Hikigaya's hands on her chest, as if maintaining the last bottom line and sense of security.

In response, Hikigaya just stared at him calmly.

He deliberately let Kikyo Kushida fall into a defensive breakdown, not simply because he wanted to see her collapse, but to reshape her cognition to achieve his own goals.

A Kushida Kikyo who has something on him will become a big trouble in the future and will greatly affect his normal daily life in this school.

So, he needs to make this handle disappear.

In other words, find something that can be used to exploit Kikyo Kushida.

"Kushida, do you think that if this continues, the other members of Class D will continue to pay attention to you? If Hirata, Karuizawa, or even Horikita Suzune take further control of Class D, will the others continue to regard you as an indispensable member of Class D? In other words, do you think there is something about you that others can't do?"

"..."

"Although you are not the most incompetent one in Class D, to be honest, you don't have any unique advantages. The best outcome is that no one will pay attention to you anymore, and then you will be lost in the crowd."

"..."
