The Great Teacher's Skill-First Classroom

It had only been 20 minutes since Horikita left from the corridor.

Although most students choose to wear the hotel's yukata, some students do not like this attire and prefer to wear their own clothes.

So Horikita might have changed back into her favorite casual clothes during this time. Then she found out that Hikigaya asked her out, and then she went out.

Or, there is actually another possibility.

Because I was going out to meet him, I changed out of the yukata that looked dirty.

what.

Hikigaya felt like she was going to become weird after experiencing two consecutive scenes of people confessing their love.

Love-brained, no, I can’t be love-brained.

"Ibuki kept pestering me. So I had to go to the ski resort today." Horikita sat down and said, "She seemed to really want to fight me."

"But I took advantage of her during the sports festival, so it's only natural that I agree to her request."

"Is that so?" Hachiman nodded.

Then he took out the photo he had received from Sakura-san from his pocket.

"Then consider this a gift for you."

"The fact that you're in Class C is an improvement compared to last year."

"So I haven't been planning to give you any reward."

Hikigaya said, pushing the photo towards Horikita. "This is for you."

Suzune's eyes were fixed on the photo Hikigaya pushed over to her.

The people in the photo are her and Ibuki, and there is even a picture of her, Ibuki, and Shiina eating fried noodles together at the restaurant in the ski resort.

"these are……"

"Did Sakura take the picture?"

"Yes." Hachiman nodded. "I hired her today to take your picture."

"For you who study for 10 hours every day, it's rare to have time to relax with friends."

"It's a rare opportunity to go on a school trip, so wouldn't it be nice to leave some memories?" Hachiman said.

"Friends..." Horikita doubted it.

Because last year Hikigaya forced her to become friends with Kushida first, but Kushida was a troublesome person.

And Horikita was also very dissatisfied with some of her actions.

But I can't completely deny Kushida.

Because there are some things that only Kushida can do.

Then he passively learned about Kushida's past and lost to him, so he could only complete the task of protecting Kushida.

However, Shirafusou seems to have dropped out of school, so Kushida is not in any danger now.

Then he changed his class, and Horikita relaxed a little.

But as for friends...

"There are many kinds of friends," Hachiman said. "There's the casual kind, the acquaintances you eat with, the kind you just chat with, the kind you use for socializing. Then there's the kind you have close friends with. And close friends are the kind you can only find by chance."

"So... do you have such a friend?" Horikita asked.

"..." Hachiman.

This raises a good question.

Does Hikigaya-san have such a friend now?

To say yes, or no, is to say no, which is too decisive.

"I think Hirata-san is a nice person," Hikigaya-san said. "We can still have a good relationship even after graduation."

"Oh." Horikita nodded.

It seems that Hikigaya has already thought about what will happen after graduation.

"So after you graduate—" Horikita asked.

Today, I was suddenly called out by Hashimoto. I thought something happened, but it turned out that he asked me about my relationship with Hikigaya.

And if you think about it carefully, Hashimoto seems to be confessing his feelings to her.

Horikita wasn't that interested in this kind of thing.

but.

But one thing touched her.

That is, after we arrived at the school trip, some girls in the same group would say something random, saying, "Horikita, you went to Class C because Hikigaya is there."

indeed.

She went to Class C because Hikigaya-san was there.

but.

"We are very optimistic about you two as a couple."

"If one skips a class, the other can still catch up."

"It's like we have to overcome great difficulties to be together."

"I feel your obsession."

They are all about love.

indeed.

In the eyes of others, she seemed to be dating Hikigaya, just like Hashimoto today.

It's just that both sides just use each other as a shield, because both she and Hikigaya believe that falling in love during high school is detrimental to studies and class competition.

So both sides are very rational.

The fake relationship method can make some boring people give up and save both parties the trouble.

It's probably just this kind of relationship.

But even Lingyin had to think carefully.

Because we are in high school now, we have to study and compete with each other in class, so what about college?

During this cultural festival, my brother said that he and Tachibana-senpai were dating.

In other words, my brother has the same idea as them, believing that studying is the main thing during high school, but this is not the case in college.

And Kushida-san also talked to her privately after she transferred to Class C.

Tell her the dating statistics in high school.

If you fall in love in high school, the probability of eventually getting married is very low, so it is not reliable.

and so.

"So after you graduate..." What Horikita wanted to say was that you already have some ideas about the future, so you also think it's better to fall in love in college.

But when Horikita asked, Hikigaya-san also asked.

"I just saw you down the hallway," Hachiman said.

"..." Lingyin. "Nothing happened. Hashimoto confessed his feelings to me, and then I used you as a shield."

"Oh." Hachiman nodded.

"..." Horikita.

Horikita looked at the tomato juice on the table. It was probably bought for her by Hikigaya, but she felt that the atmosphere was a little silent.

just.

She didn't want to keep her mind on this.

I haven't finished reading the book I brought.

She has also been shaken by her classmates in the past few days. She doesn't like this mentality very much because it makes it impossible for her to concentrate on her studies.

Then let's end it quickly.

Think so.

"Speaking of which, what are your plans for after graduating from high school?" Horikita asked. "Like, maybe going to university or something like that."

"University..." Hikigaya actually had a backup plan to marry after graduating from high school.

Although I don’t know who the partner is, marriage should be certain.

Then he can let his wife support him.

It’s okay if you don’t go to college.

However, going to university can earn you a diploma, which is a stepping stone to finding a job, but if you don't want to work, you don't have to go to university.

But there are still benefits to going to university.

You can gain more knowledge and enrich your experience.

and.

According to the information revealed by Onito, Sakayanagi's class is planning to use points to buy him over to secure a spot in Class A.

after all.

If there is only one enemy, then buy the enemy and make him your own fighting force, then how can you lose?

So even if it is a difficult university to get into, he still has the opportunity to go directly there for free without taking an exam.

Hikigaya-san has some contempt for wasteful behavior.

So when this opportunity to get something for free appeared in front of him, he felt that he would still seize it.

and so.

"I should go to college." Hachiman said.

"Really?" Horikita nodded. "Is there any particular university you'd like to attend?"

"Probably... not." Hachiman hadn't planned to get to this point yet.

"So your ambition hasn't changed?" Horikita said. "I still want to be a househusband or something like that."

"..."

I always feel that Horikita is a bit aggressive now.

But of course, Hikigaya-san would not deny this ideal.

“Nothing has changed.”

"That's it."

And Hachiman continued to listen, because Horikita continued to ask, "So what do you think about studying medicine?"

"Ah?" Hachiman was stunned.

Because studying medicine, isn't that Horikita's ambition? Oh no, Hachiman remembered, Hirata's ambition was to study medicine.

Because his friend is still very weak, he wants to study and do something within his ability for his friend in the future.

Since we just talked about Hirata, Horikita is asking him if he will choose the same university as his friend.

"I might go to a national medical university." Horikita continued, "So if you don't have any other ideas, then go to the same university as me."

Horikita stood up while saying this.

"I still have some books in the dormitory that I haven't finished reading. I'm going back first."

"I recently noticed that Kushida seems to be studying law. The content goes beyond her current curriculum, so she must be looking for future development."

"Even someone as laid-back as Kushida is starting to work hard. I'm a little bit dissatisfied."

Having said that, Lingyin turned and left.

While Hachiman was still in a daze, he found that she had come back and took away the unopened tomato juice that Hikigaya ordered for her.
