Discussion about point system

"Can we please start the main topic for what we have come here for?", Horikita's voice was colder than ice.

"Hmm? Yes, yes, of course, Horikita-San but first let's order our food or else I will starve to death.", I causally rejected. The time was not ripe. Horkita just snorted and looked at the card.

"Let's see I will be picking cold coffee with ice and Waffle."

Kushida scanned the card and then said, "I will also take the same order as Raphael-San, What about you Horikita-san?"

"Water is fine"

"I will bring us our order.", Kushida smiled and said in a milky tone.

I secretly gave her a thumbs-up.

Kushida replied to my gesture with a smile.

Looking at the students sitting in the cafe; I mumbled, "There are a lot of students".

There were nearly thirty students.

"Definitely"

The wastage of food was no joke here.

Students in just this short

amount have lost the meaning of money.

Humans are like this.

If you have a lot you lose the meaning, and if you have less you gain greed.

Right now, students have lost themself in the pleasure of spending.

They spend just because they want to.

Only the ignorant can be this foolish.

"So, what do ya think? Is this improving student results?"

"Not. You have to be stupid to believe."

"So why is school giving so many points to spend?"

"...aren't we here to discuss that?"

"Do you think students will get addicted to spending?"

"You think the school will stop giving the points?"

I hummed in response.

"But in this cafe there still are students buying things other than year o- wait. You mean points would be given by merits?"

"I don't know if you have noticed it but students are eating free food in the cafeteria. It may be that they have transferred their money to someone else but it is very unlikely."

I took a deep breath and said, "If we look from a school perspective, what are they trying to teach? To waste food or to earn and spend points? In society, your spending depends on your earnings. You can earn millions and not care about money or you can live on hundreds but worry about each passing bill."

"I see. The school is just providing us with the truth of society...they want us to spend our points and then take that pleasure. The students have to work hard for the pleasure of spending. "

Horkita then looked me in the eyes, "You are smarter than I initially thought."

"Oh, I am hurt :( "

'Really?"

"Yup, you can heal it by muttering a magic spell!"

Disgust flashed in Horikita's eyes.

I coughed; awkward and gloomy it did not work.

"Anyway do not tell Kushida"

"What?"

I told Horikita about my little 'experience' of Kushida.

---

When Kushida came back with our order Horikita had already vanished.

She sighed and sat on the opposite chair.

"So she noticed?"

I nodded. My eyes little red.

Kushida gave a small smile and comforted in a soft voice.

"It's ok, don't worry. At least you tried to become her friend."

"At least you are here to comfort me, Kushida-San."

Kushida just nodded," if you need help. I will always be there for you."

I scoffed inside my heart. Kushida may be able to fool everyone but she can't hide the flash of disgust in her eyes.

I smiled at Kushida-San.

"It's getting late. We should seriously eat the food and get going."

"We can still discuss the details."

"I feel sadistic by saying this but I just wanted a reason to pull Horikita into a friends group. I do not have anything to tell..."

"It's fine. Horikita is a little unique but I am sure she is a good person"

Good person?

How do you describe a person as bad or good?

"Maybe I am just disturbing her."

Time passes uniquely.

I have chosen the exact time of sunset.

The time when night rises and the sun falls.

We talked about the latest fashion(Which in terms only Kushida talked as I don't know a single damn thing), trends and about some students.

"I also brought this cover", I showed my phone with a bunny drawn on its case.

"OMG, I also have the same cover."

"Wait really?"

"Yes! Take a look"

Kushida handed her phone to me.

"We have the same ornaments too!", I said showing my phone.

"You brought the ornaments from the same shop as the case?"

"Yes! I also like bunnies. They are cute and so fluffy"

Kushida seems to chant about her favourite bunny colour and her previous encounter with all the bunny stuff.

After some time, Kushida looked at the watch in the cafe and said, "I did not realize how much time had passed."

Truly, I did not 'realize' so much time had passed.

Kushida seemed to be in a hurry as she grabbed her bag and wished me goodbye.

I watched her leave before pulling out a phone.

Each device is given by the school. There are exceptions like my laptop. It is because The OG owner's family is deep and has really good connections.

So every device looks the same if not for the cover and ornaments.

So somehow if the phones got exchanged. Somehow?

How will you know?

I looked at Kushida's mobile in my hand.

I got you there.

I better return her that.

Picking up my pace I followed Kushida.

As expected, she did not go to her room but to the park.

It's time to give Kushida a glance of Demonic nature.

A/N: The next chapter will be about Demonic Nature. I am so excited to write it :)
