45 Arrogant girl

Ayanokōji confessed that he never hated anyone since childhood because it was just a senseless feeling.

But when confronted by Hikigaya Hachiman, Ayanokōji always felt a strong urge to swear.

Before, you could say that he was boring, but this time he was holding on to the piano for no reason.

It always seems to me that this guy is deliberately trying to find fault...

"Hikigaya, leave it alone.

At this time, President Horikita seemed to see Ayanokōji's embarrassment and took the initiative to help him out of the siege.

"You just saw this scene, what are you going to do?"

"What should I do?" Hikigaya had an inexplicable expression on his face, "Buchou, you defeated Ayanokouji, it's not me, so I don't care."

Ayanokouji: "..."

Strictly speaking, Ayanokōji wasn't hit, but it would be foolish to refute it at the moment, so he could only remain silent.

"Well, it really surprised me that the student council president actually beat up the freshmen."

Hikigaya suddenly smiled and then said, "Also, you chose a place without a camera to commit violence, and you always taught me to pay attention to my position as a student council member, but you yourself… are violating your own teachings. What a pity."

"...What do you want?"

Horikita Manabu's face was expressionless, but deep down, this strange combination of mockery made him uncomfortable.

Initially it was a whim and he wanted to try out Ayanokōji's skills, but the student council president didn't expect to run into the most troublesome boy in school.

After more than a month of observing and interacting with Horikita, Manabu believes that he is Hikigaya a good enough person. Much better, at least, than the yellow-haired one he had brought with him, who only had ability but no character.

But it is not clear if this is because he has been interacting with Haruno for a long time, this guy sometimes shows a bad temper, not paying attention to the attitude towards teachers and high school students.

Although such a fearless personality is exactly what President Horikita needs, he wants Hikigaya to control and balance the next student council president after he graduates, not deal with him!

Hikigaya innocently said, "Why does it feel like the president is implying that I'm threatening you?"

"... How about using pocket money as payment for silence?"

Horikita's biggest fear is that he won't say anything, and there will definitely be trouble in the future.

And this year, class D received zero points. Given that Hikigaya also needs living expenses, one could gag him with points.

But Horikita didn't know that the current Hikigaya was a bit rich, so he didn't care about such a small amount of money.

However, when it comes to paying for silence, he wants one.

"President, you also had a quiz when you were in first grade. How did you like the last three questions? Are they too complicated?

"...What do you want?"

"I want to ask you to give me the quizzes for the previous and last year for reference."

"?!"

Not only Horikita Manubu but also Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Horikita Suzune reacted to the hikigai's words, and they both seemed to be more or less aware of his intentions.

"It's enough?" Horikita looked at his sister indifferently, "The other one... don't you need it?"

"No, I'm only interested in the last three questions."

"This is true..."

Horikita Manabu stopped asking questions, nodded slightly, and said, "Alright, tomorrow is lunch break… No, come to the student council room after class tomorrow and I'll give it to you there."

"Huh? Can you take a picture of this with your cell phone and send it to me?" Hikigaya asked strangely.

"...Anyway, I'll be waiting for you tomorrow."

Without giving Hikigaya a chance to protest, Horikita Manabu turned and looked at his sister.

"Suzune, I really didn't expect you to have friends. To be honest, I was very surprised."

"They are not..."

"Buchou, you misunderstood," Hikigaya Horikita interrupted, "your sister and I are not friends, but Ayanokouji seems to be her friend."

"No, I'm not like that either.

Ayanokouji was probably infected by Hikigaya, hastily denied it.

"..."

These two guys left Horikita speechless, so he finally had to utter the line: "Suzune, it looks like you are still the same, if you want to rise to the upper class, you must fight hard. Goodbye."

Having said this, he simply left without looking back.

The reason why he left in such a hurry was mainly because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to contain his anger if he didn't leave and that he would hit Hikigaya violently.

After Horikita Manabu left, only three patients with severe social disabilities remained at the scene.

How should I put it... Hikigaya is terribly embarrassed.

Buchou was fine when he was here, he was familiar after all, but he, Ayanokouji, and the younger Horikita didn't say a word, so he really didn't know what to use at a time like this.

Ah, is it enough just to smile?

...forget it, let's go back.

"Then I first..."

"Wait a minute!"

Horikita Suzune called out to him suddenly for some unknown reason, but this woman still didn't know what to say next.

"I didn't expect you to actually know your brother.

"...Why can't I know him?"

"That's not what I meant, I just didn't expect your relationship with your brother to be like this…"

After the conversation, Horikita suddenly changed her words, "I didn't expect you to be so impolite when talking to my brother, and it's hard to understand how my brother tolerates you."

- Are you jealous? Hikigaya deliberately provoked her.

In fact, when Hikigaya and Horikita got along, they always talked like that.

Although Horikita Manabu looks a little cold and ruthless, he is actually an easy to get along with high school student and usually doesn't care about trivial things, so you can tease him all you want.

To be honest, if it weren't for the inappropriateness of the scene, Hikigaya would really like to tease President Horikita some more.

I just love seeing that envy look on his little sister's face!

However, Horikita did not show the expected shame or anger, but simply lowered her head with a complex expression.

...Bad, this woman seems more inferior than Hikigaya thought.

But it's no surprise that the older Horikita is the Student Council President with absolute power, but as his little sister, she was class D, so it's normal to feel inferior.

Although it has nothing to do with Hikigaya, he can understand the feeling.

As well as his relationship with Komachi.

Hikigaya has been lonely since childhood, but Komachi is the complete opposite: wherever she goes, she is greeted by those around her and is a very good little sister.

But even such a Hikigaya had already mastered what Horikita was striving for.

This is the care and company of a younger sister (brother).

"Horikita, actually, I always wanted to ask you a question.

Maybe it's just Hikigae's curiosity, but he decides to do it anyway.

"Aren't you some kind of illegitimate daughter whose stepmother is fighting for power in the family?"

"...What a foolish thing to say."

"Yes, judging by the looks of you and the President, you must be biological," Hikigaya nodded, "So why are you trembling in front of the President? Since you are siblings, be more at ease when you interact."

Horikita Suzune laughed at herself, "I'm different from you, I can't be like you no matter what."

"Why can't it be done?"

To Hikigaya's rhetorical question, Horikita didn't say a word, but Hikigaya didn't want to stop just like that.

"Could it be that in your mind the president is a person who looks down on the weak? You are obviously the younger sister, but you don't know the president at all."

"You, you shut up! What do you know!"

Finally, Horikita broke down and screamed.

"How long have you been with your brother, don't talk like you know him well!"

"No, I'm sure I know better than you," Hikigaya said without hesitation, "at least in my opinion, the president doesn't hate you at all, it's just that you built a wall in your heart and never tried to understand anything." You have not seen the real face of your brother, and what you are chasing is exactly the brother you imagined in your imagination."

—— Just like Yukinoshita.

Horikita looked at him with wide eyes.

"Of course, I know that this step will be difficult, but you can even say stupid things like "transfer class D to class A", I don't think it's more difficult than having a good relationship with the family. "

After saying that, Hikigaya felt that everything was said and left without saying a word.

Other actions will only have the opposite effect, and the rest can be left to Horikita to think slowly.

In other words, the president is also wrong, it would be better if he opened up a little in communication, otherwise it won't be like that today.

This arrogant girl is really troublesome enough when it comes to her brother!
