"I told you just now! During the discussion, Horikita..."

Kushida wanted to repeat it excitedly, but before she finished speaking, Hikigaya interrupted: "No, Horikita's attitude has always been that way, so it won't make you so anxious...and uneasy. "

"Uh..." Suddenly, Kushida fell silent.

After a long time, she sighed deeply: "Haha, I'm really convinced... How carefully do you look at me, it's disgusting."

"Are you typical with excess self-awareness?" Bi Qigu kindly reminded.

"It's so noisy! Shut up and listen to me obediently!"

Kushida roared, but then fell silent again.

Hikigu didn't urge him, just waited patiently.

"I...I..." She hesitated several times, but finally said, "I am the favored person of the dragon group...I have revealed my identity to Long Yuan."

"I see. No wonder you are so...huh?" Bi Qigu was stunned halfway through speaking.

Kushida... she said it herself?

Hikigu didn't expect this kind of development at all, and was speechless for a while.

"Oh, I know what you're thinking." Kushida smiled self-deprecatingly, "You must find it incredible, right? But I have to do it, and not just this time, I will also..."

"No, no, wait a minute."

Seeing that she was about to enter the mode of talking to herself, Hikigu hurriedly stopped.

"Uh...why did you just say that?"

"You still can't believe it?"

"No, that, how should I put it...the matter between you and Ryuuen...I already knew about it."

To be precise, it should be guessed.

"... Huh?" Kushida was also stunned.

It's troublesome now.

Hikigaya originally wanted to find an opportunity to expose Kushida, and then he could justifiably express his non-involvement in this matter.

When it comes to betraying the class, he is the worst one.

More importantly, he doesn't care what happens to Class D at all, and it doesn't matter what Kushida makes a fuss about.

Of course, if the trouble ends in this guy being expelled from school, he will only be reaping the consequences of himself, and he can't blame others.

But he never expected that Kushida would take the initiative to confess to him... What does this mean?

Could it be... trust?

impossible!Absolutely impossible!

Hikigaya was taken aback by his own thoughts. The relationship between him and Kushida was twisted and weird, and it was even based on lies from the beginning.

How can there be trust in a relationship full of falsehoods like this?

Yes, that's right!

Don't jump to conclusions!

"What, so you have already found out."

Kushida, who came back to his senses, didn't react too much, he just lay down on the table with a bored face, touching Hikigaya lightly with his calf from time to time.

"If you knew, you would have told me earlier, I wasted so much emotion... I guess that guy from Ryuuen showed something, that big fool."

"...Is it really good to tell me such a big secret?" Bi Qigu was puzzled.

There was a strange expression on Kushida's face: "Why are you still talking about this now, you already know what kind of person I am."

"No, this time it's a betrayal of the class, is it particularly serious in comparison?"

"Nothing special, to me it doesn't matter what kind of exposure it is, the result is the same."

I'm afraid Kushida is not trying to be brave, but really thinks so.

This guy is as paranoid as ever.

"Oh." Hikiya sighed helplessly, "So you decided to cooperate with Ryuuen because you were looking for a helper to deal with Horikita?"

"Ah, I want Horikita to drop out of school. I will never change my mind on this alone." Kushida said without hesitation.

"That's all right, but I want to hear why."

"I've said the reason before, that guy and I are in the same middle school..."

"No, what I want to hear is a reason, not an excuse." Hikigaya interrupted Kushida, "Actually, you know it well in your heart, Horikita doesn't care about you at all, even if she really masters it, it's not good for you." It is impossible to threaten you with this intelligence, not to mention that she may not even know about your past."

"...But you can't rule out that possibility, can you?"

Kushida still didn't want to tell the truth.

However, that's fine too.

Since there is no trust between the two parties, there is no need to—

"Hikigu-kun...you are a special person, so it is impossible for you to understand my thoughts."

Kushida suddenly spoke again.

This made Hikigaya's body, which was about to stand up, sit back down again.

"There's nothing special about me."

"Okay, stop pretending." Kushida said impatiently, "Why do you think Ryuuen would find you as an intermediary? Why didn't he find Horikita? Why didn't he find me? It's because you have value that no one else has. what!"

She almost yelled out the last sentence.

"Do you know how envious I am of you? I am so eager to show myself that I can't extricate myself, I want to be conspicuous, I can't extricate myself, I want to be praised, I can't extricate myself. Only when I achieve these goals can I feel It feels so good to be alive to the height of your own worth."

Kushida murmured in a low voice like a whisper.

"But I know my upper limit. No matter how hard I study or exercise, I can't get the first place, and the second and third place can't satisfy me, so I just want to do something that others can't imitate. And then I found that I could be gentler than anyone, closer than anyone."

Hikigaya knew about this kind of thing a few months ago when he saw Kushida's true face.

The gentleness that Kushida showed was only for self-satisfaction.

But this is not a bad thing, at least Bi Qigu can really understand this feeling.

Treating people with kindness seems to be very simple to say, but in practice it is even more difficult.

If you imagine it a little bit, you will understand, even if you face someone like Yamauchi, you have to smile...

How difficult it was!

"Thanks to this, I became a popular person." Kushida closed her eyes slightly, as if recalling, "Both boys and girls like me, and I feel the happiness of being depended on and trusted. I'm very happy, so I can't tolerate the existence of Horikita, that woman will destroy my way of life."

"Really...Thank you for telling me so much."

Having said that, Hikiya understood in his heart that Kushida still didn't tell the truth until the end.

Maybe I should give her a push... Do I really want to do this?

"No, I'm the one thanking you."

There was a smile on Kushida's face, not the usual business-like smile, but one that really came from the bottom of his heart.

"It was very painful at that time. I accumulated too much pressure every day, and I felt that I was going to be bald. Sometimes I was so irritable that I would tear my hair or vomit. I thought I would encounter the same situation when I came here. I can barely relieve it by swearing, but I didn't expect to meet Hikigu-kun...you know the rest of it."

"...Yeah, I do know."

Hikigu let out a breath, as if he had made up his mind.

"I know why you insist on getting rid of Horikita."

"Haha, it's good that you know."

Kushida resumed that fake smile again, and said in a firm tone: "I like to be respected and noticed by everyone the most. This is the value of my existence. Therefore, even if the possibility is small, I can't bear to know that I am Hori from the past..."

"No, I said it, it was just an excuse." Hikiya interrupted Kushida's chatter, "You didn't get rid of Horikita for such a boring reason, but for even more boring reasons. reason."

He ignored the other party's glaring, and gave a blunt conclusion.

"Having said so much, the black history or something is just an excuse for you to play. In fact, you just simply hate Horikita, that's all."

Chapter 181 Unexpected Proposal

"What are you talking about?" Kushida frowned, "Of course I hate Horikita, after all, she knows about my past."

"No, even if she doesn't know, you still hate her."

Hikiya didn't give Kushida a chance to refute, and said first: "You know that there are some things you can't do, so you will give full play to what you are best at, in order to gain the approval of others, while Horikita She is the type who thinks that she can do everything well, and her ability is indeed not bad, so when you see Horikita, you will have a feeling that everything about yourself is denied."

The first was to teach Sudou to read, then the uninhabited island, and finally this time the privileged person exam.

Although I haven't witnessed the discussion of the dragon group with my own eyes, I can tell from the layout of the seats that whether it is Katsuragi, Ryuuen or Kanzaki, they are all paying more attention to Horikita.

In fact, at the briefing session before the exam, Katsuragi specifically greeted Hikigaya and also talked to Horikita, but he ignored Kushida.

All of this was seen by Kushida, but he was powerless to change it.

"... Hikigu, do you know that your appearance of knowing everything makes people feel disgusting?"

"You think I don't know?" Hikiya asked angrily, "So what are you going to do? Compared to the uncertain Horikita, I really know your nature. Do you plan to get rid of Horikita? To deal with me?"

"Ah, if you talk so much nonsense...the possibility cannot be ruled out." Kushida said coldly.

"Really? How much are you willing to pay for this?"

"……what?"

Seeing that Kushida didn't seem to understand, Hikiya further explained: "In order to deal with Horikita this time, you have already exposed your nature to Ryuuen, right? Then when you want to deal with me next time, how much will you win over?" People? How many people will know your true nature? And according to your logic, you will have to deal with Ryuuen next time, right?"

Having said that, he couldn't help laughing.

"Maybe the whole school will know what kind of person you are in the end."

"Tsk! Don't take me for a fool, do you think I will leave evidence to Long Yuan casually!"

"But you can't deny this possibility, can you?" Hikiya returned Kushida's previous lines to her, "It seems that you can't deny that Horikita knows your past, and you can't deny whether Ryuuen will betray you or not. Will catch you, right?"

"... Goo!"

The mask was peeled off layer by layer, and the theory that Kushida betrayed the class in order to get rid of Horikita gradually collapsed.

"If you just want to say this...forget it, I'm leaving."

Faced with the fact that they don't want to face it directly, most people will choose to avoid it, and Kushida is no exception.

However, Hikigu didn't want it to end like this.

Just now he wanted to stop again and again, but was interrupted by Kushida again and again.

At this moment, he has made up his mind, and there is no turning back for anyone.

"Kushida, I can understand your desire to stand on the stage." Hikiya said lightly, "The moment when you feel your own value is indeed the best... But, even if I, Horikita, and Longyuan is not in this school, even if no one knows your true face, it is impossible for you to realize this desire."

Hearing this, Kushida suddenly turned around, and rushed to Hikigaya in three steps at a time.

"What do you know! As long as Horikita is gone, I can..."

"This is a meritocracy school."

Hikiya interrupted Kushida's words with a blank expression.

"As you said before, you had a good time in elementary school and junior high school with your kindness. Indeed, if you were in an outside school, you would be the center of attention. People like me and Horikita who have no friends Guy, you won't take it seriously at all... But, it's different here."

He pointed out the cruel reality with merciless words.

"Strength is everything here. No matter how good at communication you are, no matter how gentle you are to others, all you can get is superficial pursuit and praise, but in fact, you understand it? No one will fight from you I take you seriously."

"……To shut up."

"Most people here have only one goal, and that is Class A, so no matter how bad Horikita's temper is or how bad Ryuuen's methods are, as long as they have the possibility to lead the class to victory, other people will naturally respect and respect them." Follow them, and you are just a good man, that is, you will talk to you when you have troubles, it is just a convenient prop."

"...shut up."

"Oh, after all, you are just Ichinose's inferior replacement. Ichinose is more gentle than you, and is also good at communication, and is better than you in studies and sports. The most important thing is that you have led the class to be promoted to Class A. She truly achieved everything you could have dreamed of."

"Didn't you hear me telling you to shut up!"

Finally, Kushida couldn't bear it any longer, and grabbed Hikigaya by the collar, with an expression on his face like a demon.
