People are in the real teaching, but the inner world

"Horikita."

"Don't call me by my name."

"Then... Lingyin."

"..."

Even without having to see, Eito knew that this Suzune-san was on the verge of going berserk.

Eito briefly explained:

"Look, isn't it written like this in comics? Good friends always call each other by their names. You didn't let me call you Horikita just now. Aren't you hinting that I should call you by your name?"

"I asked you not to talk to me."

"So can I call you Lingyin?"

"…Why are you so annoying?"

"I just like my persistent personality."

"Who asked you?" Lingyin sighed, then looked at him straight, "Tell me, what do you want to ask me?"

"Actually, I went to the library a few days ago to borrow a book to read. I think it's quite suitable for you, so I wanted to lend it to you."

"You can actually read books?" Lingyin looked skeptical. "Shouldn't people like you be at home playing games and browsing pornographic websites every day?"

"Eh?"

"Don't look around, I'm talking about you."

"Oh."

Eito replied somewhat speechlessly.

Then he took out the book he had finished reading and gave it to Lingyin.

"Pride and Prejudice?" Lingyin stared blankly for two seconds, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"what do you mean?"

"You know it in your heart. Are you hinting at me by showing me this book?"

"No, no, no, I just think this book is very helpful to you. You didn't even read the content and directly said that I hinted at you. Isn't this a kind of prejudice?"

"...Okay, then I'll take it back and have a look."

Lingyin put the book away.

Then he found that Eito was still looking at him:

"What else are you looking at?"

"So, can I call you Lingyin?"

"No."

"Ugh……"

"There's no point sighing. When I recognize you in the future... I'll think about it again."

"Then it's a deal."

Seeing that Ayanokouji had already entered the classroom, he stood up and returned to his seat.

The morning classes were still boring.

But it seems to make no difference whether he attends the class or not, because he is still playing with his phone in class anyway.

Others were also playing on their phones.

It feels so good to play badly together.

However, there is still a difference, because he understands all this knowledge, but those who use mobile phones like him do not.

This is the margin of a top student.

It has been over a week since my last swimming lesson.

This week's changes were neither big nor small.

In other words, his relationship with Sato and Kikyo has become a little better, so good that he can call her Kikyo in person.

For Kikyo, it would be easier to call her name.

But others are different.

In Japan, men and women need to be very close to each other to call each other by their names, and it is even limited to couples.

If you shout randomly, people will mistake you for a couple, and it will be troublesome to explain then.

In addition, through Platycodon's relationship, he successfully became friends with Wang Meiyu and added each other's contact information.

Perhaps because she loved him so much, Wang Meiyu had a low barrier against him, which made their relationship go very smoothly.

We usually talk less and mostly chat on the phone.

At the beginning, he was a little reserved, but as they communicated slowly, he gradually became bolder.

Even recently, I started calling him brother in messages.

To be honest, he didn't force her to do that, but Wang Meiyu wanted to call her that.

When asked why, she said she wanted to find a brother because she was afraid.

Of course, in reality she didn't dare to call him brother.

The others are Sakura Airi.

This girl was a little too timid. Every time he tried to say hello to her, she ran away, which made him wonder if he was a pervert.

When he asked Lingyin, she replied with a firm and positive attitude:

Is there any need to see this? You are already like this.

Finally, regarding his malice value, it is currently at 56 points. Not many things have happened recently, so it accumulates more slowly.

Putting his affairs aside, the other big thing is that Karuizawa is already dating Hirata, but he knows that this is just an excuse Karuizawa uses to protect himself, and the two are not really dating.

What remained was that Kikyo was still trying to get close to Suzune, but Suzune showed no sign of wavering.

And he seemed to have figured out why Kikyo cared about him so much, and her purpose was really to annoy Lingyin.

Obviously, Lingyin's attitude made her accumulate a lot of resentment, so she would always butt in when he and Lingyin were chatting, and make Lingyin unhappy in various ways.

She did it, and Suzune almost wanted to beat him up several times, which led to slow progress in their relationship.

To be honest, Eito admires Kikyo quite a lot. She can say that she wants to be friends with the other person, but at the same time make the other person angry in various ways.

Of course, the so-called making friends was just an excuse given by Kikyo. Eito knew that she didn't really want to make friends with Suzune, she just wanted Suzune to drop out of school.

In fact, making Suzune so angry that she drops out of school is another way. There is no way Kikyo has not thought about it.

What Kikyo didn't expect was that he actually had a way to make Suzune drop out of school voluntarily, but he would not tell Kikyo.

And there is no point in trying to please Kikyo and win her favor in this way.

If someone like Kikyo could really be won over by relying on favorability, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

Although she seemed so kind on the surface, her heart was actually frozen. If he tried to pry her open with too much force, the end result might be complete shattering, or in reality, complete darkening.

The result was a repeat of the disaster in junior high school.

Although, he is more looking forward to the blackened Kikyo than the current Kikyo, but considering the heavy price, it is better to avoid such a thing from happening as much as possible.

Chapter 13 Yes, it’s a date

School is over that day.

Kikyo came to Suzune's seat and sincerely invited her:

"Horikita-san, I won two movie tickets for this afternoon in a lucky draw. Can you come with me to watch the movie?"

"No time."

"Oh, what should I do? It's such a pity."

"Don't you have a lot of friends? If you invite them, there should be a lot of people lining up to go with you."

"But... I think this movie is quite suitable for Horikita-san, so..."

"What movie?" Horikita glanced at the name above and frowned slightly, "Sadako 4?"

The long, beautiful black hair on the cover attracted her attention.

"Ah, I'm not saying that the person above looks like Horikita-san. What I mean is that Horikita-san shouldn't be afraid of a movie of this level."

Horikita: "I never thought she was much like me. What do you want to say?"

"I want to be friends with Horikita-san."

"I've heard this many times, and my answer is still, no. I'm not picking on you, I don't need friends. Only the weak like to group together for warmth. For me, friends are not necessary, and there is no point in making friends."

Platycodon: "..."

"I've said everything I need to say." Suzune was already familiar with Kikyo's harassment, so she was quite familiar with dealing with it. She pointed at Eito with the tip of her pen and said, "You should go and invite him. I believe he should be happy to go with you. By the way, the person you really want to invite is him, right?"

"Hey, how could it be——" Kikyo covered her face shyly, "Takeda-kun and I are just friends, how could we do something that only lovers would do, Horikita-san, stop talking nonsense."

After hearing this, Eito didn't know what to say.

Suzune wouldn't think that Kikyo likes him, but it is true that he has been in contact with Kikyo more frequently recently. Not only Suzune, but many other people have come to ask him if he and Kikyo are dating. They left only after getting his negative answer, satisfied.

He couldn't pretend to be deaf at this time. He packed his things and came to the two of them:

"Want to go?"

Lingyin was a little surprised and said, "You've become so frank this time, are you possessed?"

"I'm used to this kind of farce. Do you think you'll be satisfied only if I roll on the ground with joy like Yamauchi?"

"Oh..." Lingyin said nothing more, as if she had lost interest in the two of them.

"Let's go then, Eito-kun."

"Okay, Kikyo-chan."

……

On the way, Kikyo seemed to be thinking about something and didn't speak.

This is completely different from his usual active state.

Although I really wanted to ask her what was on her mind, I changed my mind and thought it was probably about Lingyin, so I didn't bother to ask.

And this way he doesn't have to talk, so he feels relaxed.

It's nice to take a look at the scenery along the way.

Until Kikyo suddenly turned around, looked him in the eyes, and asked:

"Can I really not be friends with Horikita-san?"

He hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Of course, as long as Kikyo is willing to be completely honest with herself, I believe Horikita will definitely make friends with you seriously."

Yes, Lingyin only said that she didn't need friends, but she didn't completely deny the relationship of friends.

In other words, Suzune is so confident that she can live on her own without any help from her friends, how arrogant is that.

If you just want to live alone and not contact anyone, it doesn't matter. But if you want to enter society, you must learn certain communication skills, and the Platycodon in front of you is the epitome of all these skills.

Hearing his words, Kikyo's face panicked, and she said with a vague look in her eyes:

"What does it mean to confess?"

"……you guess?"

“…You’re so annoying. I’m not going to talk to you anymore.” Kikyo turned her head away angrily and stopped talking to him.

But her quickening pace showed that the girl's heart was not at peace.

And Yingdou felt a little regretful at this time.

What I said just now was a bit too blunt. Actually, I just wanted to tease Kikyo, but I didn't expect that I used too much force.
