There is something wrong with Hikigaya's classroom of supreme ability

Hikigaya, however, remained motionless.

At this time, the doorbell stopped ringing. Just when Hikigaya was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the next second, a series of rapid doorbell rings continued to ring. It seemed as if the person outside the door had encountered a very scary monster and was asking for help!

Horikita couldn't help but reveal a puzzled look. Hikigaya had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Kushida's face. Then, the next second, he quickly entered the room, complaining dissatisfiedly: "Really, do you know how dangerous it was for me outside? I was almost..."

At the end of the sentence, Kushida's voice suddenly stopped, and the shoes he had just taken off fell directly to the ground. He looked at Horikita in the room with disbelief, as if to say, "Why are you here?"

Horikita also had a confused look on her face, and her eyes kept shifting between Kushida and Hikigaya.

"Kushida said something important."

Hikigaya had a blank expression on his face, then turned to Kushida and said, "The same goes for Horikita."

Kushida quickly recovered from his shock and said, "I was just about to go look for Horikita-san, but I didn't expect you to be here. This will save me a lot of time."

Kushida quickly pulled out a photo magazine and said the clue was there. Seeing Horikita's attention drawn, Kushida couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He then borrowed Hikigaya's laptop and opened a blog on the web, pointing to a picture on it: "Everyone, please look."

When Horikita was looking at the picture, Kushida turned around and revealed a pair of fierce eyes, staring at Hikigaya as if he wanted to eat someone. Hikigaya ignored Kushida's 'fierce' expression and looked at the content on the webpage curiously.

"Blogs? They're really old-fashioned. Hardly anyone remembers them these days. Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook are the main social media platforms these days."

Hikigaya couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw the almost obsolete "blog", a personal social networking site that was once popular.

In fact, blogs, as personal social websites, were once very popular. However, with the development of smart phones, social media has gradually shifted from personal PCs to mobile devices. After the popularity of Twitter, INS, and Facebook, this type of personal website has become a tear of the times and almost no one pays attention to it anymore.

But obviously the real focus is not the blog, but the content inside, the girl in the picture.

A cute girl with a curvy figure who looks very energetic. She looks like a student model or a photo idol. After all, many clothing and fashion magazines like to use student models, and this industry also has good development prospects in Japan.

Even someone like Hikigaya who doesn't know much knows that there are several popular student models nowadays, such as Mai Sakurajima, Ami Kawashima, Kirino Kousaka and so on. Of course, Hikigaya knows all this from his silly sister. After all, he doesn't have much spare change to buy fashion magazines and learn how to match clothes!

Compared to Horikita's "not understanding", Hikigaya vaguely felt that the girl in the picture was very familiar, especially the pair of breasts... Huh?

"Could this be Sakura?"

Hikigaya's face was full of disbelief!

Chapter 123: The girl’s request for help.

"Sakura?"

After hearing what Hikigaya said, Horikita also found that the girl in the picture was indeed somewhat similar to Sakura, but her style, dress, and temperament were completely different from the Sakura she saw every day.

"That's right, the girl in the picture must be Sakura. Her stage name is [Shizuku]."

Kushida added.

Kushida said that she must have seen it in a weekly magazine, and after Horikita and others asked her today, she vaguely remembered this incident, and then followed this clue to find Sakura's "other side"!

Then he started to look through the photos below. Judging from the date, one of the photos should have been uploaded around the beginning of the school year. In the corner of the background, one could vaguely see the door of the dormitory, which proved Kushida's guess that Sakura was [Shizuku], and her hidden identity was a photo idol!

"Kushida, you're amazing."

Horikita said sincerely.

Less than a few hours had passed since she had asked Kushida for help, and Kushida had already gathered such important information. Even Horikita had to admit his ability.

Kushida smiled when she heard that. She hated Horikita, but because of that, seeing Horikita sincerely admit her inferiority and praise herself, Kushida felt unprecedented comfort both physically and mentally.

"I looked up some information about [Shizuku], but it's very limited. I only know that she seemed to suddenly become popular for a while, and then suddenly disappeared. You are also familiar with the situation in this industry. Many people are fleeting like shooting stars, and not many people can truly stay. Therefore, after losing the exposure, [Shizuku] was quickly forgotten. Now she only occasionally posts photos."

"I understand. Thank you very much, Kushida, but this is the end of it. Also, please don't tell anyone else about this. I hope it's only between the three of us."

Horikita suddenly said.

Kushida was stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on. Horikita sighed and then explained the reason to Kushida.

"So even if we find a witness, it won't change the fact that Sudou was punished?"

Kushida suddenly realized something, and then a sad expression appeared on his face just right. Of course, it was not clear whether he was thinking this way in his heart.

Then Kushida subconsciously looked at Hikigaya who was standing beside him. This guy had been silent from the beginning, and his eyes were fixed on the computer screen. Tsk... It turned out that all men are like this!

"But even if the punishment can't be overturned, a witness's testimony is better than nothing, right? Maybe it can reduce the punishment?"

Kushida still maintained his own personality, but at the same time he vaguely sensed the loophole in Horikita's words just now, so he asked tentatively.

Horikita couldn't help but look towards Hikigaya. After noticing Horikita's gaze, Kushida also looked towards Hikigaya.

"Since Sakura doesn't want to testify, then respect her choice."

"But……"

Kushida wanted to ask more, but he soon noticed Hikigaya's cold eyes, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth stopped.

"In that case, I won't disturb your rest. I'll think about whether there are other ways to reconcile."

Horikita stood up and prepared to leave after she finished speaking, but when she reached the entrance, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Kushida in the room, as if to say, "Kushida, aren't you leaving?"

Noticing Horikita's gaze, Kushida cursed him in his heart, but he still stood up honestly: "That's right, it's getting late, I won't disturb Hikigaya-kun's rest."

"Horikita."

Suddenly, Hikigaya called out to Horikita, who had just put on her shoes, and said meaningfully, "As compensation, if this still doesn't work, I have one last solution."

Horikita's expression froze, knowing that Hikigaya had made an 'exchange' for Sakura's matter, and then nodded slightly. Kushida beside him didn't understand what he meant, and looked at Hikigaya and then at Horikita, as if to say, 'What secrets are you two hiding from me?'

Unfortunately, neither of them paid any attention to Kushida, and then Horikita and Kushida left Hikigaya's room one after the other.

Hikigaya sat in the chair and sighed. Although he was also surprised that Sakura was a flat photo idol, the contrast between the two was too great after all.

But it was also because of this that he noticed the hidden problems in Sakura's heart, which made Hikigaya feel depressed and conflicted.

At this moment, the mobile phone on the table vibrated, it was a message.

First, Kushida's series of "Nishiuchi, bastard!" and dozens of bloody knife expressions were heard. Hikigaya decisively ignored them and checked for new messages.

[MAO: Hikigaya-kun, are you free now? I have something to tell you. If possible, please come...]

Sakura?

Hikigaya pondered for a moment, then replied, "I'll come up now," and left.

The first-year dormitories were all in the same building, but the girls were on the upper floors, so Hikigaya took the elevator to the 11th floor where Sakura was. Fortunately, he didn't meet any other girls along the way.

Hikigaya came to Sakura's room 1106. Almost as soon as Hikigaya rang the bell, the door was already open, as if it had been waiting behind the door for a long time. Sakura was bent over in casual clothes, with her head lowered. She said in a panic: "Good evening, good evening."

"Good evening, Sakura."

Sakura quickly welcomed Hikigaya into the room. When the door was closed, Sakura's back finally straightened a little. It seemed that the girl felt safer in the enclosed space.

Behind Sakura's room is a typical girl's room, which prefers pink in style. However, Hikigaya soon noticed something strange because the room was too "closed". It was obviously an 11-story building, but the balcony curtains were still tightly drawn. Whether intentional or not, the furniture and items placed around it also vaguely formed a "besieged city".

"Hikigaya-kun, what would you like to drink?"

It seemed that this was also the first time that Sakura invited an outsider into her room. Her tone was extra nervous, completely different from her usual private communication.

"Plain boiled water will do."

Hikigaya saw all of this.

"Sorry, I only have mineral water."

After Hikigaya took the water from Sakura, the scene fell into an awkward silence. Seeing this, Hikigaya had to speak up himself: "Sakura, did you say something important?"

Sakura nodded and looked up at Hikigaya across from her. Hikigaya didn't urge her and just waited quietly for Sakura. After finally seeming to be mentally prepared, Sakura took a deep breath and said, "It's like this..."

Sakura spoke haltingly as she told Hikigaya about the fight between Sudo and the students of Class C that she had witnessed in the Special Teaching Building that day. Right after she finished, Hikigaya handed her a bottle of water. Sakura whispered "thank you" and quickly drank a few sips, which relieved a lot of her tension.

"I see."

Hikigaya nodded calmly, "Can I ask a question?"

Sakura nodded.

"I'm not blaming you, or anything like that. I understand why you didn't speak up the first time, so... why are you telling me about this now?"

Chapter 124: The same mistake was made again.

"Why, why?"

Sakura muttered.

"Yes, compared to the dispute itself, I am more concerned about your thoughts, Sakura."

Hikigaya looked at the girl's timid expression and sighed. "Even if you were a witness to the incident, there's no hard and fast rule that requires you to come forward and 'testify.' It's entirely up to you to choose. I respect your decision, but I don't want you to be swayed by external factors and distort your true thoughts."

Sakura stared blankly at Hikigaya opposite her. Although it was not the first time she saw the boy's eyes, this time, Sakura unexpectedly felt an inexplicable power from his eyes.

Just like that night, when the boy in front of me said to me, "It's okay, I can get away with it."

"Actually, when Chabashira-sensei mentioned this dispute, I thought about confessing it privately to him, but, but..."

At this point, Sakura couldn't help but clench her fists, staring straight at the boy across from her through her bangs, a look of heartache and anger on her face, and she was unexpectedly emotional: "But when I think about how often those people scold you, laugh at you, and bully you, I, I just..."

Hikigaya was stunned. He thought that Sakura might be afraid of other people's eyes, or maybe it was because of her introverted personality and other reasons, but he never expected that the girl would actually... stand up for him?

Thinking of this, Hikigaya felt a sharp prick in his heart. At the same time, the expression and tone of the girl before him were so similar to those of 'them' at that time. That memory, buried deep in Hikigaya's memory, was when he confessed his love to Ebina during the school trip...

The expressions 'they' had at that time...were exactly the same as Sakura's expression now.

Thinking of this, Hikigaya couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.

I...had I made the same mistake again without realizing it?!

"Hikigaya-kun, are you okay?"

At this moment, Sakura's concerned voice was heard.

Hikigaya shook his head slightly and said self-reproachfully: "I'm sorry for making you worry about me."

"So why did you change your mind and tell me the truth about being a witness?"

Sakura couldn't help but lower her head when she heard that. Compared to her aura just now, she seemed to have weakened a lot. She seemed to be in a very tangled state: "I, I don't want my classmates to get hurt because of my selfishness. But, but they bully Hikigaya-kun, so I, I have been very tangled."

Hikigaya finally understood why Sakura was so conflicted, because the girl was too kind and couldn't bear the inner torment.

But when he thought of guys like Yamauchi and Sudo in the class, Hikigaya felt extremely ironic!

There's nothing wrong with Sakura's kindness, but people like her who possess this kindness are always taken for granted by others.

"So…Sakura, what are you really thinking?"

Hikigaya looked into the girl's eyes seriously: "Don't deceive yourself because of me. This will only make me feel more guilty. I want to hear your true thoughts. No matter what, I will respect your choice."

Sakura slowly sat up straight, as if gaining some strength. She took a deep breath and said, "I hope for a world where no one gets hurt, but... I don't want you, Hikigaya-kun, to be the only one hurt."

Sakura couldn't help shedding tears and choked up, "I'm really sorry, I'm sorry..."

Hikigaya knew that Sakura was blaming herself for the fact that she had 'hurt' others, and this kindness was often labeled as 'saintly' by people with bad intentions, who could then openly slander her.

The boy reached out and rubbed the girl's head. Seeing Sakura raise her head, Hikigaya comforted her: "There's nothing to cry about, and there's no need to blame yourself for it. It's like you're sorry to me. Sakura, remember, you've never been sorry to anyone."

"But……"

"Hey, Sakura, have you forgotten what I did to Ryuuen?"

Hikigaya seemed to realize that his actions had crossed a line, and quickly retracted his hand and said, "Do you think Yamauchi, Sudo, and the others are more terrifying than Ryuen?"

Sakura shook her head, and couldn't help but shiver when she thought of the 'tyrant' of Class C.

"That's right. So, you just take them too seriously. If you encounter dog shit, of course you should avoid it. Why would you step on it?"

Sakura couldn't help laughing when she thought of how those two hateful guys, Yamauchi and Ike, were left speechless and embarrassed by Hikigaya today.

"And when cleaning up dog poop, of course you can't get your hands dirty."

Having said that, a hint of coldness flashed in Hikigaya's eyes.

"I, I understand. Compared to the weak me, Hikigaya-kun, you are really too strong."

If it were her, Sakura would definitely not be able to bear the sarcasm, exclusion and cold violence from other classmates, but the boy in front of her was like a solid shield and was not afraid at all. What was even more precious was his gentle heart like water!

Although he has suffered more than anyone else, he has a heart that is gentler than anyone else. His tough, strong and gentle heart is what Sakura admires most about Hikigaya, and it is also what she most admires in a boy.

Sakura seemed to have finally let go of her worries, and then as if she remembered something, she picked up the camera and handed it to Hikigaya.

"I actually happened to take some photos that day, which might be useful."

After Hikigaya took the camera, he found that it was the high-end camera he had given to Sakura. Seeing this, Sakura couldn't help but hurriedly explain: "I, I want to get more familiar with its performance, I..."
