The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

"I understand. I'll help you." Hachiman said. "But you don't have to be so rigid, hey——"

Hachiman was stunned because he suddenly found that Horikita Suzune stretched out her hand towards him as she did at noon.

And blinked.

"Hmm? Is that weird? Didn't you say not to be so rigid?" Horikita replied.

"..." Hachiman.

So Hachiman also reached out his hand to her.

He squeezed Horikita's hand. "Please take care of me from now on."

"Well, please take care of me." Horikita Suzune also held him back.

It's like partners who have reached an agreement to cooperate.

but.

It is undeniable.

This aloof guy is not so aloof anymore and is quite cute.

It's impossible to say that I was still talking about love with Sakayanagi yesterday.

But I really felt a thrill just now.

Is this the change that comes with a change in a beautiful girl with high looks? I'm a little curious about what kind of wife Horikita Suzune will be like after a real relationship or marriage.

but.

Hachiman quickly shook his head.

He corrected his attitude.

because.

Hikigaya Hachiman just wants a rich woman.

"Speak."

Looking at Horikita Suzune's smooth and delicate profile, Hachiman asked. "Is your family rich?"

"??"

"My family runs a restaurant," Horikita Suzune said. "I don't know if they have money, but they're definitely not short of it."

Is it.

"But my dad is the chef in this restaurant, and he wants to retire."

In other words, if I go to your house, I can only marry into your family and then work all the time?

Oh.

Then forget it.

but.

"By the way." Since it was Horikita Suzune who officially proposed to become partners, Hachiman wanted some benefits.

So he told the other party his purpose when he had always stayed in class and was ignored by the other party.

"Horikita, since we're partners."

"So."

Hachiman said, "It's okay to treat your companions to a meal occasionally."

"..." Horikita. "I don't have such experience. Do you mean like the celebration party the day before yesterday?"

"It's not that, it's bento. You know, good friends will exchange bento with each other. Although we are not very good friends, we are also partners. Don't you think we should give it a try?" Hachiman said.

"..." Horikita finally understood that Hikigaya wanted to eat the food she cooked.

"If you're willing to pay for the ingredients." Horikita Suzune didn't say no.

But this statement is surprising.

because.

I can eat the lunch box you made as long as I pay for the ingredients, so why didn’t you tell me earlier?

Although the rice balls in convenience stores are not bad, Hikigaya still wants to try the girls' bento.

You can show this off to Komachi.

Because the word "partner" can mean companion, it can also be transformed into "friend".

So, maybe he gained his first friend in this school.

Then my sister won’t have to worry about him being alone.

……

It's time for the next day.

Maybe because he got up early today, Hikigaya-san doesn't look very energetic.

But when I got on the elevator.

Hachiman suddenly perked up.

Because he noticed a familiar black-haired girl standing in a corner of the elevator, with a dazed expression on her face.

This is Horikita Suzune.

She always looks like a crazy study fanatic looking at a vocabulary book in the elevator.

But things are different now.

In a daze.

Since the elevator was full of students from other classes, Hachiman greeted her.

"morning."

But after discovering Hikigaya, Horikita-san became suspicious.

She faced him, then put her hands behind her, as if holding something.

And Horikita's response was quick, "Hachiman, good morning."

"..."

Hachiman's mind went blank for a second.

"Um... Horikita, good morning." Then he subconsciously greeted her again.

because.

This was the first time in nearly two months that Horikita Suzune had proactively greeted him. Usually, when they met in the elevator, she would either say "Hmm." or "Aren't you coming up?"

Such conversations.

And now.

She called him Hachiman.

It seems that there is no one else who calls his name except his family members.

The first time I experienced being called by someone's name.

"What happened after yesterday?" Hachiman asked.

"I met Kushida-san." Horikita was honest at this point. "She said if you're a friend, it's best to call them by their names."

Oh.

So, it was Kushida-san who taught me how to call someone by their name.

Horikita-san can't do that.

By the way, Kushida, what do you want to do?

Do you want Horikita Suzune to capture him?

Moreover, Hikigaya also discovered the reason why Horikita was in a daze just now.

She usually goes to school with her lunch box in her left hand.

but now.

Carrying two cloth bags.

Hey Hey hey.

He just said yesterday that he was willing to pay for the ingredients, so did you make a lunch box today?

Now, the elevator has reached the first floor and the students in the elevator are starting to leave.

Hachiman and Horikita walked side by side.

I didn't expect that just because I casually wanted to defuse Horikita's bomb yesterday, it would turn out like this.

"what are you laughing at?"

And Horikita noticed his expression.

amount.

Is he smiling?

And Horikita Suzune said, "Don't think that I recognize you and need you, and then you get carried away like this."

As she spoke, she suddenly took a step back and stood behind him, as if a vengeful spirit was right behind her.

"I say, can't you be a little gentler?"

Didn’t you see that the students who hadn’t even left the elevator ran away immediately after seeing how fierce she was?

"I can't do that."

However, Horikita Suzune answered immediately, "Besides, you're blocking the road by standing here. Let's go quickly."

She's a really unlovable girl.

Hachiman was pushed forward by her.

Now, such an action would be watched by almost everyone. So yesterday's confession rumors would become a confirmed relationship.

However, he and Horikita-san are innocent.

He doesn't need love, and Horikita doesn't even know what love is.

Hachiman wasn't going to explain.

Instead, he started thinking about how he could finally have a bento made by a beautiful girl with cooking skills for lunch.

And the other side.

The cafeteria on the third floor.

"...He's not here yet." The silver-haired girl with the cane said, looking at the empty seat.

"Yes," said her follower Kamuro. "Because Hikigaya is probably eating his bento in class with his new girlfriend right now."

"It seemed like it was the woman who confessed her feelings yesterday."

"And this morning, Yamada from our class was in the elevator, and I saw him flirting with Horikita Suzune, who's in the same class," Kamuro said. "So Hikigaya is a liar. He keeps saying things like love don't exist, but he actually has a girlfriend, doesn't he?"

"Oh."

"That's really cause for celebration. It's surprising that his gloomy youth can actually have such a luster," Arisu Sakayanagi analyzed.

Wait a moment.

"..."?

Sakayanagi thought she heard something strange.
