But the fact that they all took action showed that Ichinose's harmless assumptions about others and her saintly behavior were invalid.

That means some action needs to be taken.

He sacrificed his usual spare time and began to follow the students in Class D, apparently in an attempt to stop them from spreading rumors.

But this also shows Ichinose's popularity in the class, making her classmates actively run around for her.

Hachiman sat in the classroom, supporting his chin with one hand, and looked at the classroom which had become empty due to lunch break.

He is not going to the cafeteria today.

But Class A is probably going to explode because of the rumors, "Class B here is really peaceful."

In comparison, Class B is really relaxed.

Even though the atmosphere was tense a while ago because of the rumors about Horikita.

"..."

There was a human presence around Hachiman.

Horikita Suzune said, "Isn't this a good thing? Are you dissatisfied with anything?"

"No, well...it's just that after comparing it to others, I feel a little relaxed recently." Hachiman said.

But Horikita-san kept a straight face and said, "Yes, I have a lot of things to do here. I'm very sorry."

Good man, so you have started to become self-aware?

Hikigaya-san was shocked.

But he is not a person without emotional intelligence.

So he went on to say,

"...It's not too boring. Besides, your issue was resolved in two days. I asked Karuizawa to arrange for someone to refute it, and after I explained the situation to Hirata, he voluntarily provided assistance."

"what--"

But Horikita's expression turned a little bit cute, "Well... you took care of me a lot."

Ok?

Hachiman looked at her.

"Although my brother has received your care, I am still very grateful to you. The worst-case scenario is expulsion, but that won't eliminate the negative impact it might have on my brother. So... this matter can be resolved... Thank you."

"..."

"..." Hachiman.

"Don't you understand?" Horikita seemed to have made a great determination to say these words that were completely different from her usual behavior, but she found that Hachiman was petrified.

"No." Hachiman shook his head. "Not to mention that it's been almost two months since you said that. How can I put it..."

"What's wrong with what I said? I've practiced it these past two days. I originally wanted to imitate Kushida, but I always felt that it was not sincere enough." Suzune added the reason why she did not thank him immediately after the rumor ended.

But Hachiman shook his head.

"It's not about that," Hachiman said. "How should I put it? Your sincere gratitude to me makes me feel..."

"What do you think?"

"It's a bit disgusting," Hachiman said. "And my body wasn't frozen just now, I got goosebumps."

“……”Ring tone.

"..." Horikita Suzune.

The light on her face disappeared in an instant.

Snapped!

She threw her schoolbag at me, "It's a waste that I felt your sincerity was not enough..."

She paused, then finally put her schoolbag back.

She quickly pulled out a box from the cupboard and said, "I bought a gift as a thank you."

"..." Hachiman.

call.

But Hachiman felt relieved.

Because she finally said this.

In fact, during class, Hachiman discovered that she brought a wrapped box today.

This kind of thing is a gift no matter how you look at it.

But considering her social circle and the fact that she wasn't a careless person, he immediately realized that it was probably Horikita Suzune who wanted to give it to him.

Since lunch break is already halfway over and Horikita hasn't moved at all, what do you want?

That's why he deliberately talked to her.

So it was not easy to trick her into handing over the gift voluntarily.

Hachiman now understands Horikita Manabu a little bit. Why did Horikita Manabu place his bets on him that night after Hachiman claimed that he knew Horikita Suzune?

because.

It is really hard for him to have friends because of his many talents.

So, Horikita Manabu was actually being a bit too forceful in trying to cling to him. At least, he hoped his sister would change.

Otherwise, it would be too painful.

what.

Dirty brother.

As a brother, I can forgive you for now.

But Horikita-brother is also an admirable person.

Hachiman still admired him very much.

All third graders will be going off campus to take a special exam this month, which will last for two weeks.

So it stands to reason that it is possible that No. 1 will not be able to come back in time.

So Horikita-nii sent him a message when he left school.

He said that if he could not arrive at school on time, the private points for the next month would be transferred to him later.

What a frank person.

Think so.

Hachiman watched as Horikita placed the gift on his desk.

There are still a few students in the class, but they just glanced here and then looked away.

Because they have become numb.

Hikigaya-san and Horikita-san are dating or something.

And Hikigaya-san, who seems to be just a delinquent, turns into a super sportsman when he puts on glasses.

How abominable.

So these students quickly withdrew their gaze.

Hachiman looked at what appeared in front of him after he untied the ribbon.

It's a glasses case.

In the glasses case lay a pair of black-framed plain glasses.

"You don't seem to be nearsighted," Horikita Suzune said. "But it seems you like changing your decorative plain glasses to different colors."

"So I chose one for you."

They are black-framed glasses.

It was a good thing that they didn't overlap with the glasses he already had... No, that wasn't right.

If this goes on, will he have to collect all the glasses in red, yellow, blue, green, indigo, purple and black?

……

But after all, it was Horikita's gift.

Hachiman decided to help a little.

But not for Horikita.

But it was for Ichinose.

In fact, Hachiman has a good impression of Ichinose.

because.

"Ah... Which one should I choose, the left or the right—"

During the holidays, Hachiman was responsible for preparing breakfast for Horikita, and he would often go to the nearest cafe to eat breakfast in the morning. At that time, he would often meet Ichinose-san.

Every time she would wander around the store's ordering area and hesitate.

The fifth day before the holiday that left a lasting impression on Hachiman.

And on that day.

Ichinose was in a dilemma again, but she didn't usually behave like this. She could make a decision quickly when she was with her friends, but when she was alone, she was often hesitant.

The number of times was not very many, Hachiman only encountered it five times.

However, even if it was 5 times, it can be inferred that she seems to have a decision-making disorder. She probably hesitates for an hour and a half before deciding which movie to watch when going to the cinema.

What a poor kid.

"Ah... Good morning, senpai. Oh... Please, please... I need to stare at the catalogue for a while."

Later in the morning, she noticed that senior students were coming from behind her, so she immediately made way.

It seems that she is different from Kushida. Kushida is still steadily building her territory and limiting her circle of friends to the first grade. Although she is working hard to move towards the upper grades, she has not opened up too many walls among the upper grades. However, Ichinose has already met many upperclassmen.

And Ichinose made a small move.

As she stepped aside to let her senior take his order, she glanced at him while looking at the menu.

This was probably not some romantic development, but rather a look of admiration on her face as she watched the other party quickly order food.

This is to admire the other party's decision to order food without hesitation.

Even though I only stood there for a while and observed, Ichinose-san is really understanding.

She seemed to be debating between scones and toasted sandwiches.

The directory has always been there.

The menu contents are all equipped with illustrations of finished products, and they are slightly edited, so it really makes people hesitate about how to choose.

However, perhaps considering that her staying at the ordering area would disturb others, she found a seat and sat down first.

But she still held her head as she looked at the menu. She still couldn't make a decision, but today was the weekend, so even if she struggled for a whole morning, it wouldn't have any impact.

That means you’ll be hungry first.

The people in the store have been trained, so they won't suddenly come over to chase people away or anything like that. One of the staff even served Ichinose a glass of water first.

"I want scones and toasted sandwiches, and water, orange juice, and Coke. For food, just send it to table 15." Hachiman started ordering right after entering the store.

Table 15?

Ichinose was a little surprised when he heard the voice coming from the order counter not far away.

Because she was sitting at table number 15, and there was a small sign on the table with the table number marked on it.

Exactly 15.

But by this time Hachiman was already walking towards her.

Ichinose was sitting in a booth for four, so he sat down across from her, and the waiter brought all the food over.

In an instant, the atmosphere that filled people with poetic appetite spread out.
