Thus, contrary to the boys' expectations, the bell for class finally rang.
Swimming lessons will start soon.
In the locker room, most of the boys changed into their swimming trunks at the speed of light and ran outside screaming, as if they were afraid they wouldn't be able to see the girls' swimsuits if they were late.
While Hikigaya was dumbfounded by these idiots, while silently changing his clothes, someone suddenly approached him.
"Well, can I disturb you for a moment?"
"...What?"
Hikigaya couldn't help but be a little embarrassed because an unexpected person approached him, but he managed to calm down.
The visitor was Ayanokouji.
"Let's talk for the first time, I just want to know your name."
"I see... Hikigaya Hachiman."
"I'm Kiyotaka Ayanokouji, nice to meet you."
And then... no more.
These two aren't the type to talk well, and Hikigaya doesn't really want to talk, so let's go to the pool early.
And Ayanokouji followed him and began to search for words.
"Hikigaya, were you a member of the sports club in high school? You have a pretty good physique. You must have been into sports."
"...Are you laughing at me?"
"No, why do you think so?"
Ayanokouji didn't seem to understand why, but Hikigaya silently stared at his entire body.
"Compared to you, I can be considered weak... There is nothing unusual about your body, but it is definitely professionally prepared."
In general, Ayanokouji is just a slender boy, but as soon as he takes off his clothes, he can find that the muscles of the arms, legs and back of this guy are very strong and strong.
This level cannot be achieved in the gym.
Hikigaya remembered the personal bodyguards he saw at Haruno's house, most of them were retired mercenaries, some of them looked very thin and unremarkable, but they were the most capable.
It is said that it is not a problem for one person to fight with four or five big people.
Although Hikigaya had never personally experienced it, at least he intuitively told him now that if the Ayanokōji in front of him was real, he would definitely be able to knock him down with a single punch.
"BUT? What are you talking about?" Ayanokōji hurriedly said, "When I was in middle school, I used to go home to the club, and I was always out of touch with outdoor sports."
"So you'll get secret special training as soon as you get home," Hikigaya nodded gravely.
"No, it's just a natural muscular physique. I only got this body because of my parents' genes."
"...You think you're a mountain gorilla?"
Many animals do not need special exercises to have developed muscles, and humans cannot keep up with them.
In a conversation with Ayanokouji, Hikigaya confirmed that he is a very bad guy.
If he really wanted to hide it, he could have just said something like "I've been practicing a little" to get over it, but he had to tell such a clumsy lie.
No, this is no longer a lie.
This guy thinks the people around him are fools.
"Forget it Hikigaya, let's not talk about muscles. I don't think you have muscle control, do you?"
"... It's really not like that."
"That's right, but I think you're pretty easy to talk to. If you can, would you like to befriend me?"
Ayanokouji suddenly made an inexplicable request.
After all, Hikigaya is also in the top three in Japanese, but he still doesn't understand where to start a conversation right now.
"No, why do you want to be friends?"
"Because the more friends the better, right?"
It seems that this guy is also one ah.
Since the atmosphere is somewhat similar, Hikigaya can understand, but Ayanokouji seems to want friends, but there is still something that makes people feel like something is wrong.
The feeling of inadequacy I had when I first saw it never went away.
"No, I haven't had any friends since I was a child and I don't know what to talk about with my friends, so let's forget about it."
Out of caution, or in other words, he didn't intend to make friends, Hikigaya euphemistically refused.
Even though he said he was refusing, Ayanokōji's expression didn't change a bit, and there were no other movements, just a nod to show that he understood.
What can I say... it's very bad.
Unlike Haruno and Sakayanagi's undisguised sense of threat, Ayanokōji didn't exude a sense of danger at all, giving the impression of being a herbivore, but Hikigaya was the most vigilant.
In other words, this guy's danger is no longer at the same level as that of ordinary people.
Fortunately, I soon had to go to the pool to finally part with Ayanokouji. Either way, Hikigaya didn't want to stay by his side even for a moment.
When we got there, almost all the boys were there, but almost half the girls.
This disappointed the boys, who thought they could appreciate the girls' swimsuits, especially Ikyo and Yamauchi, whose expressions were as if the world was about to end.
"I've been waiting for this since last night... God is so cruel to me!"
"Hasebe's boobs!"
Hearing those words, the girls who were students on the second floor gave them a look of contempt, but unfortunately, those two idiots did not think at all.
In other words, it was because you were too outspoken that you scared the girls away, right?
When Hikigaya was speechless, the boys applauded again.
"It's Kushida!" "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhh
The reason for the applause was that Kushida Kikyo, a popular beautiful girl from Class D, showed up in a swimsuit.
Confronted with the wolfish roar of the boys, instead of flinching, she waved her hands happily.
After all, if you stare at it any longer, something bad will happen.
Speaking of which, Kushida was the person who caught Hikigu's attention on the first day by stating that he wanted to be friends with everyone, which was an impolite word, but she really did.
Not only do I have a good relationship with everyone in the class, but I also have many friends in other classes.
Even a surly guy like Hikigaya will actively talk to her, which is really amazing.
You should know that in the beginning, Hikigaya thought that Kushida would be similar to Isshiki because she was too friendly with the boys, which caused resentment from the girl group, and finally messed up interpersonal relationships.
Unexpectedly, Kushida not only used her cute appearance, words and actions to win over most of the boys, but also led both sides into several small groups of girls, and even the girl was not offended.
It seems that compared to Isshiki, Kushida's methods are undoubtedly much smarter than wearing a mask.
Of course, this is only by the standards of ordinary students.
Ultimately, Kushida is just an excellent matching of the same color. It is very easy to deceive these simple-hearted boys, but as long as people have a little more heart, they will not easily think that she is a white lotus without any intrigue.
At least in Hikigaya's eyes, Kushida is too easy to see compared to Haruno, who is armed with a reinforced exoskeleton.
