Chapter 137: Karuizawa: Do you have someone you like?

After hesitating for a moment.

Hikigaya still ordered a cup of MAX coffee and a small piece of cake, while Karuizawa was eating a lot.

"Hmm..."

Hikigaya was somewhat puzzled: "Isn't this the money you borrowed? Is it really okay for you to spend like this?"

"Hmm, it's okay."

Karuizawa enjoyed the delicious cake and said: "Although Class D doesn't have many class points, I can get it again next month. I can return it to Sato by then."

"..."

Hikigaya's mouth twitched: "Are you sure it's okay to be like this? How much have you used since the start of school?"

"Hmm? About a million?"

Karuizawa obviously had no concept of money at all.

"Why is it so much?"

"A hundred thousand at the start of school, earned five hundred thousand from the preferential treatment exam, and a bunch of other things that I can't calculate, probably that much?"

"..."

Hikigaya was simply stunned.

It means that Karuizawa should be a preferential treatment student, and she also passed the exam successfully.

No, that's not it.

That's not a big deal.

The most important thing is, Hikigaya finally understood what Horikita Manabu meant by having a wrong concept of money.

One million.

This is already close to half a year's salary for an ordinary person.

Class B gave most of the personal points to Ichinose for safekeeping. Hikigaya didn't feel anything before, but now he felt a deep fear.

This school cultivates people into tools that pursue benefits.

If you can be promoted to Class A and work in a good company, there might not be a problem.

But what if you don't graduate from Class A?

You don't have the opportunity to choose your career freely, you can only choose to work in an ordinary company.

The salary will certainly not be high.

If you keep this wrong consumption concept, it will be hard to accept the gap between school and reality after entering society.

These people are probably ruined.

"That... I don't really want to meddle in your affairs."

Hikigaya scratched the back of his head, somewhat hesitant: "If you keep this kind of consumption, what are you going to do in the future if you don't graduate from Class A?"

"Get married~"

Alright.

After all, Karuizawa is still a girl, and she looks very cute, it seems there is no problem, Hikigaya feels somewhat sympathetic to her future husband.

Forget it.

After all, it's her own business.

Hikigaya has no right to meddle in other people's lives, whatever the consequences, he will bear them himself.

"By the way..."

At this moment, Karuizawa was secretly observing Hikigaya and hesitated:

"Do you still remember the person behind me yesterday?"

"Oh, Hirata."

Hikigaya didn't care: "He seems to be your boyfriend."

"..."

Karuizawa pursed her cherry lips, hesitated for a moment and explained: "Actually, we are not dating, that's all fake, we haven't even held hands."

"It's fake..."

Hikigaya tilted his head, quickly understanding.

Given Karuizawa's personality and her desire to avoid bullying.

Finding a top-tier group in the class to pretend to be her boyfriend, thereby improving her class status, is indeed a good strategy.

"Did you tell Hirata about your situation?"

Hikigaya asked, somewhat surprised.

Otherwise, no one would agree to pretend to be in a relationship with someone, after all, this is equivalent to actively giving up the possibility of dating.

Seeing Karuizawa nod, Hikigaya was even more surprised.

He actually agreed.

Perhaps that blond guy Hirata is actually a good person, it seems there are good people among blondes.

"So..."

Karuizawa secretly observed his expression, somewhat hesitant: "What do you think of him?"

"He's pretty good."

Hikigaya said with a perfunctory face.

Whether it's appearance or personality, it doesn't seem bad, being able to become a top-tier group in the class, his physical and written test scores must not be weak.

Putting aside his prejudice against blondes, Hirata should be perfect.

Upon hearing this.

Karuizawa's pretty face stiffened.

This guy actually said Hirata is pretty good.

But.

On second thought.

They've only known each other for a few days, it's quite normal for Hikigaya to make such a fair evaluation.

Indeed.

She was too hasty.

Karuizawa sighed in her heart.

"What do you think if I break up with him?"

"Eh? Why?"

Hikigaya drank his coffee, somewhat puzzled: "Since there's a fool willing to let you freeload, isn't that pretty good? Or did he do something that you dislike, and after breaking up, what about your class status?"

If he also had a tool person.

Hikigaya would definitely hold it in his hand, squeeze the other party hard, and let the other party work to support him.

"Uh..."

Karuizawa pouted: "That's not the case, Hirata is indeed a good person, but he's a bit timid and afraid of conflict, he doesn't dare to have a conflict with people at all."

"Uh..."

Hikigaya looked up at the ceiling and thought for a while.

After all, Karuizawa's existence itself is a problem, if Hirata doesn't dare to have a conflict, it's probably useless to Karuizawa.

"Then it's better to break up and change to another one."

"That's true."

Karuizawa nodded in agreement.

At least for now.

Hikigaya doesn't have any extra thoughts about her, he helps her simply because that's Hikigaya's personality.

It's just the purest kindness, with no extra purpose.

At most, he just provides her with some more reasonable suggestions.

Looking at the man in front of her, Karuizawa felt somewhat helpless in her heart, but also liked him more, wishing she could become a special existence to Hikigaya.

"I'll break up with him after a while."

Karuizawa clenched her small fist and promised.

Ryuen was dealt with by Hikigaya and others, so there's no need to think so much now.

The people who know about her past, now there's only Ayanokouji left.

But.

Ayanokouji is not threatening her at the moment.

"By the way."

Karuizawa put her hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and lowered her voice:

"Actually, yesterday I was helping Sato chase Ayanokouji, what do you think of the two of them?"

Oh.

That hot girl yesterday was Sato.

It's not surprising to like Ayanokouji, after all, Ayanokouji is quite handsome.

And.

During the sports festival relay race, he probably attracted the attention of many girls.

"There's no chance."

Hikigaya frankly expressed his thoughts.

I really don't know if that girl called Sato can date Ayanokouji.

"Eh?"

Karuizawa furrowed her brows, "Why? Sato is clearly very cute."

"It's not her."

Hikigaya ate his cake nonchalantly, "I'm talking about Ayanokouji. That guy gives me a disgusting feeling, it seems like he wouldn't seriously date anyone."

"Disgusting?"

Karuizawa furrowed her brows.

Those who are in the game are lost, those who are watching are clear.

Thinking back now, Ayanokouji has always been hiding his intentions. The first time they met, Karuizawa also felt disgusted.

Looking back.

Karuizawa also realized.

Although Ayanokouji can't be said to be a bad person, he can't be said to be a good person either. There is always a strange feeling of disgust emanating from him.

Such a person.

It's indeed hard to imagine who he would sincerely date.

Thinking about Ayanokouji's methods.

Karuizawa pursed her lips, feeling that he would mostly treat the other person as a tool, whether or not he would abandon them is uncertain.

After all.

Ayanokouji explained yesterday that he also went to the rooftop that day.

But.

Karuizawa doesn't care anymore.

When you needed him the most, he wasn't there. What does it matter what happens later? If it weren't for Hikigaya, she wouldn't know how many terrible things she would have suffered.

The key is Sato...

Karuizawa sighed, her gaze turned to Hikigaya:

"So do you think I should still matchmake them?"

"How would I know?"

Hikigaya was somewhat speechless, "I'm not very familiar with either of them, whether or not they should date is their own business, right?"

"Sigh."

Karuizawa propped up her pretty face, somewhat helpless, "Although that's the case, if I don't do anything, I feel somewhat sorry for Sato. After all, the target is Ayanokouji. If something happens, Sato will definitely hate me."

"..."

Hikigaya frowned, "You seem a bit afraid of Ayanokouji? What did he do to you?"

"Nothing really."

Karuizawa's eyes dodged a bit, "I just feel that he's not a good person."

After all.

On the cruise ship.

Ayanokouji did bully her, he can't be said to be a good person at all.

"Hmm..."

Hikigaya nodded.

After all, strictly speaking, this is also a matter of Class D. Since Karuizawa doesn't want to say more, he won't ask more.

"Whatever, since you said Sato likes Ayanokouji, it's the same whether you do it or not."

"Uh... indeed..."

Karuizawa was slightly stunned.

Whether it's Sato or Ayanokouji, neither of them can be stopped.

"Alright."

Karuizawa nodded, then hesitated a bit, "By the way, Hikki, do you have someone you like?"

"Why do you call me Hikki?"

"No, I heard Kobashi and the others calling you that yesterday."

"Uh..."

Hikigaya was somewhat helpless, feeling that people in the future would probably call him that.

After the narcissistic valley, he got another nickname, Hikki.

"Do you?"

Karuizawa asked again.

"Hmm..."

Hikigaya looked up and thought for a while,

For some reason, the figures of Ichinose, Himeno Yuki, Kobashi Yume, Sakura Airi, and even Kushida Kikyo all flashed through his mind one by one.

He looked at Karuizawa across from him again.

"I don't think so."

"Is that so."

Karuizawa breathed a sigh of relief, this way she probably doesn't need to be too anxious.

And Hikigaya didn't take it to heart.

In junior high school,

He did confess to others, quite a few times.

But only now did he realize.

That was just imposing his own thoughts on others.

He didn't have a shred of nostalgia, and even his memories of them had become somewhat blurred, so it probably couldn't be considered liking.

Strictly speaking.

This is probably the desire of adolescent boys, just looking at their beauty, simply put, it's just craving their bodies.

It's not that there's anything wrong with Ichinose and others.

In all fairness.

Whether it's appearance or personality, Hikigaya thinks they're all pretty good, even if there are some minor flaws, they're easy to understand.

Overall, they're all pretty good.

At least much better than those classmates in junior high school.

But.

In the end, it feels a bit off.

Hikigaya doesn't think he would like them.

Strictly speaking.

It should be the longing of high school students for beautiful things.

It's not really his liking.
