Chapter 134 I don’t want you to feel.

Hikigaya's tone was a bit harsh, and Ichinose also frowned, looking very unhappy. At this time, Kanzaki came out to smooth things over.

"So, Hikigaya, are you here specifically to explain this?"

Kanzaki asked.

Hikigaya nodded. "You should have heard from Horikita what happened at the review meeting. If it was just a minor incident before, it has now completely evolved into a 'war' between Class D and Class C. One side must fall to end it. So, Ichinose, you should not get involved at this point. The nature of the situation is completely different now."

Ichinose fell silent, clearly understanding what Hikigaya meant. Kanzaki then spoke up, "Yes, Ichinose, we've done enough. This matter has now developed beyond our initial expectations, and we must also consider the feelings of the other students in the class."

It is obvious that Kanzaki also does not agree with Ichinose continuing to help Class D, or perhaps he did not agree from the beginning, but because of Ichinose, Kanzaki has never refuted it.

Now, with the help of Hikigaya, Kanzaki also expressed his thoughts during this period, hoping to persuade Ichinose.

"Kanzaki-kun, you..."

Ichinose was already wavering after hearing what Kanzaki said, but even so, it seemed that he still couldn't completely convince Ichinose: "But, but we have already agreed to Horikita's request..."

"Horikita asked you to help prepare the surveillance equipment, right?"

Ichinose nodded, and Hikigaya continued, "I understand. Ichinose, I have a compromise. How about this? You lend the points you need to purchase the surveillance equipment to Class D, and then let Class D handle this matter themselves. What do you think?"

With Class D's current personal points, there are simply not enough to purchase surveillance equipment, so they can only ask Class B for help.

Kanzaki echoed this, "Ichinose, I think Hikigaya's method is a good one. It can help Class D without getting too deeply involved."

Ichinose glanced at Hikigaya and finally nodded in agreement.

Then Hikigaya said that he had other things to do and left in a hurry.

Looking at Hikigaya's departing figure, Ichinose suddenly said, "Kanzaki-kun, do you feel something is a little strange?"

"strangeness?"

"Uh... well, I always feel like Hikigaya-kun is an outsider. That's kind of the feeling."

"But Hikigaya wasn't a student in Class B."

"Oh, that's not what I meant."

Ichinose tried hard to compose himself and then said, "What I mean is, it felt like Hikigaya-kun was talking about something completely unrelated to him, like an outsider."

"You mean, he treats Class D like an outsider?"

Kanzaki finally understood what Ichinose meant.

"Yes, yes, that's the feeling. It's really strange. We are all classmates."

Ichinose seemed very confused.

"But I think it's understandable. If I were assigned to Class D, I'd probably end up like Hikigaya."

Kanzaki, on the other hand, felt that Ichinose was too sensitive.

"Yes, is that so?"

Ichinose frowned slightly, but she always felt that something was different from what Kanzaki said, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

……

After leaving the cafeteria, Hikigaya sent a message to someone, which instantly showed as [Read], and then he replied immediately in less than a second.

[A Midsummer Night's Dream: Bastard, what do you take me for? A handy tool? Or a servant?!]

Kushida's hand speed is so fast?

Hikigaya thought for a moment, opened his personal points page, and transferred 50,000 personal points.

[Energy Conservationist: The transfer has been completed.]

【A Midsummer Night's Dream: Never again! 】

Seeing this, Hikigaya put away his phone and was about to return to the dormitory when he happened to meet Ayanokouji downstairs. Hikigaya looked at him expressionlessly, and then the two of them entered the elevator one after another.

There was silence in the elevator. Both of them lived on the same floor, but they had no communication from beginning to end. Just as Hikigaya opened the door of his room, Ayanokouji's voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Hikigaya, Sudou asked you to help with Sakura's matter, and Horikita did this for the sake of her classmates."

Hikigaya turned around and looked deeply at Ayanokouji. The two of them stared at each other in silence. After a long while, Hikigaya slowly spoke: "So?"

Ayanokouji was visibly stunned for a moment, but immediately regained his expressionless face: "So I'm just an errand boy helping to pass on the message, don't misunderstand me."

"Oh. Are you done?"

Hikigaya said coldly.

"That's it."

Ayanokouji had just finished speaking when Hikigaya slammed the door shut, leaving Ayanokouji standing there in silence.

Slowly, Ayanokouji frowned slightly. For some reason, Hikigaya's reaction just now reminded him of a sentence that appeared in a variety show not long ago.

I don’t want what you think, I want what I feel!

Hikigaya returned to the room with a gloomy face, and opened the address book on his mobile phone again. This time, he did not choose to send a message, but made a call.

"Hello, good evening, Handa-senpai. I'm Hikigaya, a first-year student. By the way, I have something I'd like to ask you about..."

About ten minutes later, Hikigaya hung up the phone, walked out to the balcony, and looked at the quiet and dark night outside. He didn't know what he was thinking until a phone call interrupted his thoughts.

"Hikigaya-kun, could you come to my room for a moment? I, I have something I want to tell you."

Sakura's voice sounded broken and uneasy.

Hikigaya couldn't help but clench his fist around the phone, trying to sound less awkward. "I'll come up now."

After arriving at Sakura's room, Sakura lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake: "Hi, Hikigaya-kun, did I do something wrong today?"

At that time in front of the meeting room, Sakura vaguely noticed that Hikigaya's expression was not right, but she was in a state of fear and anxiety at the time, and did not have much energy to think about what was going on.

Later, after returning to the dormitory, she realized that Hikigaya was abnormal. Maybe others didn't notice it, but Sakura was very sure that Hikigaya must have been very angry at that time!

As for the reason, it is probably related to yourself!

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but blame herself, and...

Sakura placed the camera, which she held tightly in her hands and regarded as a precious item, on the table. Her eyes were filled with reluctance, but she still said resolutely:

"Also, there's this camera... I, I want to return it to you. I can't let Hikigaya-kun get in trouble."

Chapter 135 The initial negligence.

"What do you mean?"

Hikigaya noticed something unusual in Sakura's words. What did she mean by 'not getting yourself into trouble'?

Sakura looked like she was about to cry, blaming herself deeply: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought this camera with me. I'm so sorry. I can't let Hikigaya-kun get hurt because of me! This is all my fault!"

"Wait, Sakura, don't get excited, just explain the situation slowly."

Hikigaya hurried to comfort the girl.

Then Hikigaya finally pieced together the truth from Sakura's fragmented words.

"Are you saying that someone sent you an anonymous text message saying, 'I'm in trouble because of this camera,' and that's why you're willing to attend this hearing as a witness?"

Hikigaya frowned.

Sakura nodded and took out the anonymous message to Hikigaya. The content was very simple. It roughly meant that the camera in Sakura's hand put Hikigaya in danger of being targeted by Class C. If she wanted to help him, she needed to attend Sudo's review meeting as a witness.

And what just happened was... Sakura saw the whole process of Hikigaya dealing with Ryuuen that night, so Sakura mistakenly thought that Class C wanted to take revenge on Hikigaya!

Concern leads to chaos!

At the same time, Ayanokouji came to Sakura again in the name of Horikita and hoped that she could help her classmates. Sakura, who was panicked at the time, agreed.

Sakura blamed herself and said, "Yes, I'm sorry. I didn't think too much about it at the time. I was worried that you might really get into trouble, so, so..."

Hikigaya picked up the camera and finally understood what the problem was. The camera in Sakura's hand was the one Hikigaya had given her. Hikigaya bought it for 30 personal points in the digital mall of Keyaki Shopping Center. It was also an expensive luxury item.

He didn't think too much about it when he gave it to Sakura. Anyway, he couldn't return the product without giving any reason within 7 days. He thought that instead of letting it gather dust with him, he might as well give it to Sakura. At least the value of the camera would not be wasted. But he never expected that it would harm Sakura instead!

After all, most students are unlikely to have so many personal points to buy this expensive camera, not to mention Class D which had deducted all the class points in the first month, so this expensive camera has become a means for the other party to 'attack' Sakura!

Moreover, not many students can afford such an expensive camera, so you can easily find clues by just going to the mall and asking some questions!

"Sakura, this is none of your business, this is my problem."

Hikigaya comforts Sakura, while also blaming himself for his own negligence.

At the same time, Hikigaya didn't expect that Ayanokouji could actually find this clue from Sakura, and use this to set a trap!

Hikigaya picked up the camera and walked over to the girl, then handed it back to Sakura. The girl looked up with a worried look on her face: "But, but..."

"Don't worry, it's okay. You don't have to worry about the points or the origin of this camera."

Hikigaya calmly explained, "It was mainly my fault for not explaining it clearly to you at the time. Anyway, there's no need to panic or get hung up on this. If someone asks you where you got this camera from in the future, don't hide it. Just tell them it was a gift from me!"

"I want to see who dares to question me."

Having said that, Hikigaya's eyes were filled with coldness and a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes!

Originally, Hikigaya didn't want to involve Sakura in this dispute, but in the end, he dragged the girl into this vortex because of his own reasons. Thinking of this, Hikigaya clenched his fists.

"Um, um, Hikigaya-kun, isn't that a little too close?"

At this time, Sakura's face turned red, and she stammered, looking a little breathless.

After being reminded, Hikigaya realized that there was only a fist's distance between him and Sakura, which was already a very intimate and ambiguous distance. Hikigaya pulled away and apologized quickly.

Seeing this, Sakura slowly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, she unexpectedly felt a sense of disappointment.

"Hikigaya-kun, we're friends now, right?"

"Huh? We've always been friends."

"So, can I be like Hiyori, that is, that..."

Sakura was very nervous and her voice became smaller and smaller. Hikigaya couldn't hear what Sakura said next.

"I, I said... you can yell "I love you", it doesn't matter if I'm in love!"

Sakura spoke incoherently, as if she was gasping for air, and Hikigaya finally understood what Sakura meant with great difficulty.

"You mean you want to be like Hiyori and just call you by your name, Airi, right?"

Hikigaya suddenly realized.

When Sakura heard the word "Airi", her face turned as pale as a ripe apple. She didn't dare to look the boy opposite her in the eye and could only nod woodenly.

"Zuo, Airi, are you okay? Your face is so red, and the air conditioner is on!"

Hikigaya had actually noticed that Sakura blushed easily, so he had long been accustomed to this physiological reaction of Sakura. But right now, Sakura's face had a completely different kind of 'red' than usual, as red as if it were dripping with blood!

Hikigaya couldn't help but think of Sakura's problem of shaking from time to time. Could it be that this child really has some disease?

……

Not long after leaving Sakura's room, Hikigaya received a message from Kushida saying "OK". A hint of coldness appeared on Hikigaya's face.

The next day at school, after entering the classroom, Hikigaya noticed that Horikita's eyes were fixed on him.

"Can we talk for a moment during the break?"

Horikita suddenly spoke.

Hikigaya thought about it and decided that there was still enough time, so he nodded.

During the fifteen-minute break between classes, Hikigaya and Horikita came to a pavilion in the courtyard of the teaching building.

"I'm sorry about Sakura. It's Ayanokouji..."

Before Horikita could finish her words, Hikigaya raised his hand to interrupt her: "If you just want to talk about this matter, then there's no need to say anything else. I still have my own judgment on whose idea it was."

Horikita didn't say anything more after hearing this, and then changed the topic to the current dispute: "Hikigaya, since Sakura is involved, there is even more reason not to lose, otherwise it would be unfair to Sakura's sacrifice."

"I understand your idea."

Hikigaya's expression was impassive. "After all the effort and expense, if all you can get is a reduced suspension, I wouldn't be happy with that either, so there's no need to explain yourself."

Just as Horikita was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly heard Hikigaya say across from her, "But if you think you can change the outcome simply by relying on this unwillingness, then I advise you that stopping here is the best option."
