Chapter 64: Ryuen : Horikita Suzune, is the person behind you also him?
The next morning.
As usual, Hikigaya was sitting in the top-floor café, enjoying his breakfast while waiting for the school's email.
"Why are you here."
"Why are you here?"
At this moment, Horikita Suzune's voice rang out. She walked to Hikigaya with a frown.
"Uh..."
Hikigaya was somewhat surprised, "I'm here almost every day. I want to ask, what are you doing here? This place doesn't seem to be very popular with ladies, right?"
"Huh?"
Horikita Suzune frowned, "What have you been doing here all the time? Don't you have other places to go?"
"Huh?"
Hikigaya proudly said, "The wandering lone soul does not need a place to go.~"
"Is that so?"
Horikita Suzune sat opposite him, completely ignoring his playfulness and said directly:
"I have something to discuss with someone next, can you please change your position?"
Hmm
With the start of the exam.
This deserted place has also become popular.
It's indeed a good place to talk.
In other words, a loner also has a chance to become popular, but mostly when work is needed.
But.
"How high and mighty are you."
Hikigaya was somewhat speechless, "I came here first, shouldn't you guys change places?"
"By rights, it should me."
Horikita Suzune did not refute and nodded, "But now there is no suitable place, so I can only ask you to leave. I'll treat your breakfastt, how about it?"
"Okay."
Hikigaya immediately got up.
It's just changing a place, I don't want to waste a free breakfast.
However,
During the exam.
Horikita Suzune obviously used the method he provided.
But she hasn't transferred the points yet, probably have to wait until September.
Just as he got up, Hikigaya saw the lunatic man with dead fish eyes Ayanokouji coming face to face.
Is Horikita Suzune's conversation partner this guy?
Hikigaya looked at him somewhat surprised.
Theoretically speaking.
The briefing only ended last night, and the discussion content is nothing more than the VIP.
No matter what,
Horikita Suzune is the leader of Class D.
The conversation partner is surprisingly not Hirata or Kushida but Ayanokouji, maybe the crazy guy in front of him may be unexpectedly excellent?
"Is there any problem."
Horikita Suzune urged.
"It's nothing."
Hikigaya quickly packed up his tray, "I'm just a little surprised that your conversation partner is Ayanokouji. I thought it must be Hirata or someone like Kushida."
"It's none of your business."
Horikita Suzune said flatly, "Leave the tray and the receipt, I'll clean up later, you can go."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Hikigaya couldn't wait to leave.
"Ah." Ayanokouji sighed but added, "Do you think she can get along with others? I was dragged here too."
"I see."
Hikigaya didn't take it to heart and got up to leave.
"Let them do whatever they want," he thought.
Indeed, it was hard to imagine who could get along with Horikita Suzune, apart from someone as indifferent as him. Probably no one could stand Horikita Suzune's personality.
But if Horikita Suzune had taken a liking to him, Ayanokouji must have some abilities.
On the other side,
Ayanokouji glanced at Hikigaya's retreating figure. This guy was sharper than he thought, just sitting across from Horikita Suzune.
"It seems."
Horikita Suzune said indifferently, "you and Hikigaya get along well, Ayanokouji."
"Not really,"
Ayanokouji replied expressionlessly, "We've only met a few times. I helped you deliver a MAX coffee last time, that doesn't mean we're close."
"Yeah"
Horikita Suzune glanced in the direction Hikigaya had left, "I heard he stays in this café every day and rarely interacts with others."
"Aren't we supposed to be discussing the exam?"
Ayanokouji felt a bit uneasy, "Or does this café have some delicious food?"
"Who knows."
Horikita Suzune scrutinized Ayanokouji, "I just feel he's more of an escapist than you. What do you think, Ayanokouji?"
"Although we're both escapists, I still want to make friends. He probably doesn't need that."
"Alright, let's get back to the point!"
Horikita Suzune made a mental note.
The actions of two escapist individuals make the contrast clear, deepening Ayanokouji's vigilance.
....
On the other side,
Leaving the café.
Hikigaya thought for a while.
There was nowhere else to go, so he might as well go back to the dormitory.
As soon as he stepped out of the café, he saw a few students coming towards him. The red-haired, sharp-eyed leader was Ryuen Kakeru.
Kaneda was following him, along with a short-haired, blue-haired girl with a fierce look in her eyes.
Don't recognize me, don't recognize me, don't recognize me,
Hikigaya chanted in his heart as he walked towards them.
"Ryuen,"
Kaneda pointed at him and said fiercely, "That's him, Hikigaya Hachiman!"
It was all because of this guy.
He had been bullied badly these past few days and was not well-received in Class C.
"Oh."
Ryuen Kakeru stopped in front of him, a playful smile on his lips, "Ibuki, you just said you saw Horikita walk into this café, right?"
"That's right."
"I see."
Ryuen nodded, patted Hikigaya's shoulder, and said sharply, "Hikigaya, right? Let's have a little chat."
"No way."
Hikigaya sighed helplessly, "I just got paid to leave here."
"Oh."
Ryuen was slightly taken aback.
He had thought the other party would refuse, or agree out of fear.
But he never expected.
The other party would actually answer like this. Was he asking for money?
"Good guts."
Ryuen thought for a moment, a smile appearing on his lips, "How about ten thousand points?"
"Deal!"
Hikigaya agreed quickly.
Damn it.
He's a big spender.
He had thought Ryuen was just a thug, but he didn't expect him to be so generous.
He offered ten thousand just for sitting with him for a while.
That's a big win.
Perhaps he really has hidden potential.
As for Ryuen and Horikita, what does it have to do with him? He still has to go and watch the drama.
The two quickly traded points, and Ryuen took his contact information along the way.
....
On the way back to the café.
Hikigaya was sandwiched between Kaneda and a girl named Ibuki Mio, and the three followed behind Ryuen.
"That..."
Hikigaya felt somewhat non-existent, "I'm not going to run."
"Don't be nervous."
Ryuen, who was playing in front of him, said, "As long as you don't do anything, they naturally won't do anything to you."
"Um..."
Hikigaya glanced at Ibuki Mio next to him, who had a fierce look in her eyes.
It gives a feeling of being angry.
So fierce.
It feels like compared to Ryuen.
He is even less good at dealing with this Ibuki Mio.
The few people quickly returned to the open-air terrace.
"The weather is really good, Suzune, are you also having breakfast with the follower today?"
Ryuen put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Horikita Suzune's table.
"Haven't I advised you not to call me by my name? Ryuen."
Horikita Suzune looked at the few people, and her gaze was quickly attracted by Hikigaya in the middle, "Why are you following them, Hikigaya, didn't I ask you to leave?"
"No"
Before Ryuen could speak, Hikigaya quickly said, "He gave me another ten thousand and asked me to come back."
In other words, would you like to add some more on your side?
If making money is so easy.
After saying that
Hikigaya didn't care what the others thought, he found another table and sat down, ordered a cup of MAX coffee and observed the others.
I am nobody, you guys do whatever you want.
"Heh."
Ryuen was amused and sat at Horikita Suzune's table and joked:
"Well, the email should have been sent, have you become the VIP?"
Hikigaya just remembered that his phone did vibrate just now.
Because he rarely uses it, he doesn't pay much attention to his phone, and sometimes he forgets to charge it.
[After a strict adjustment, the result is that you were not selected as the VIP. Please act conscientiously as a member of the group and challenge the exam. The exam will start at one o'clock this afternoon. This exam will be held for three days from today. Students in the Dragon group, please gather in the Dragon room on the second floor.]
'As expected, I wasn't selected.'
Hikigaya didn't care much.
Although he wanted those points, he didn't have to be the privileged.
Compared to the privileged, he prefers to stab people in the dark.
"How could it be possible to tell you."
Horikita Suzune glanced indifferently, "Or if I ask, are you willing to tell me?"
"If you wish."
Ryuen didn't care, put his leg on the table and joked, "But before that, you tell me, how did you leave such a result in the uninhabited island exam."
"Do you think I need to answer you?"
Horikita Suzune glanced at Hikigaya indifferently, "Instead of caring about Class D, Class C should aim at Class B, Ryuen, I didn't expect you not to see this clearly."
This person,
Actually diverted the disaster.
Hikigaya sipped his coffee, casting a resentful glance at Horikita Suzune.
Even though their classes were supposed to be cooperating,
Horikita Suzune was still secretly competing with Class B.
Although there was theoretically nothing wrong with this
Class C should indeed be targeting Class B - it still felt uncomfortable. Horikita Suzune's personality was really terrible.
"Theoretically, yes,"
Ryuen leaned back in his chair, glancing at Hikigaya,
"Class B was able to take first place this time, thanks in large part to someone diverting Kaneda's attention, right, Hikigaya?"
"Uh..."
The conversation suddenly turned to him, and Hikigaya was somewhat reluctant,
"Whether the diversion was effective is still unknown. I just did what the decoy group was supposed to do. If anyone is to blame, it's Kaneda for trusting his own judgment too much. Besides, Class C's strategy was a gamble in the first place."
. ... 0
"..."
Kaneda's eyes were aflame.
If it weren't for this guy's deliberate provocation,
he would have been confident in making a more rational judgment.
Even though he was angry, Kaneda didn't say anything, obviously fearing Ryuen.
"Well, that's true."
Ryuen shrugged indifferently, "Although Class B had a bit of an accident, it was only because we didn't expect Class B to have someone as underhanded as him. He's not like a typical Class B person at all."
The moment Hikigaya asked for money,
Ryuen saw it clearly.
Hikigaya was just different from Class B, not as good-natured as others, and his methods were somewhat underhanded and unlikable.
He just did what he was supposed to do.
He didn't think about doing anything behind the scenes.
It was no big deal.
In the future, they just needed to take Hikigaya's existence into account.
"Hmm."
Hikigaya's face darkened.
He was probably not the one being called underhanded, right? But it seemed like he couldn't refute it.
"But Class D is different,"
Ryuen looked at Horikita Suzune, his eyes sharper,
"Ibuki did indeed bring the key card of Class D to me, and I did write your name, Horikita Suzune, on it on the last day, but the answer was wrong."
"The only reason for this result is that Class D changed their leader at the last moment,"
Ryuen's voice suddenly cooled, "This is not a method that a serious character like you could come up with, only someone like me and the person behind you."
"Someone who lives on the dark and has unique ideas could think of it."
"There's undoubtedly a very smart person in Class D."
Obviously,
Horikita Suzune had a clear goal, but her vision was extremely narrow.
With her personality.
She would never think of such a method.
"It seems I've been underestimated,"
Horikita Suzune thought for a moment and then sold him out without hesitation, "I was indeed not in a good state in the last exam because of a fever, but since you're so insistent, I'll tell you."
"The one who told me how to change the leader was Hikigaya over there. Are you satisfied now?"
Strictly speaking.
They were only temporary allies.
Different classes.
Horikita Suzune really had no need to cover for him.
But the fact that she was so decisive was a bit annoying. After all, he had helped her. She could at least hesitate a bit.
Didn't her conscience hurt?
Hikigaya stared at Horikita Suzune, somewhat dissatisfied. Her personality was really terrible.
"Huh?"
Ryuen narrowed his eyes.
His gaze, like a venomous snake's, also turned this way.
The person who helped Class D change their leader was him.
