44 National Piano Competition

"Hikigaya-kun… Are you okay?"

Seeing that he was silent, Shiina couldn't help but get worried.

In particular, Hikigaya's face was extremely ugly and gave off a very unpleasant feeling. It was the first time she had seen such a face.

"Sorry, I just thought of something.

Hikigaya shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

"I should have made a mistake in that exam range, sorry, thanks for telling me." Hikigaya bowed his head and thanked him.

"No, it's all right..." Shiina's tone was hesitant, "Well, if I remember correctly, Chabashira-sensei who teaches history... is the caretaker of your class, right?"

She seemed to smell the truth to some extent.

But no matter how smart Shiina is, I'm afraid she can't think of a real reason why Chabashira-sensei molested the students in her class.

- Oh, stop talking.

What can Hikigaya say now other than sigh?

We can only say that every three years there is a class D with blood mold.

"By the way, Shiina, when you were in middle school, did the teacher take the previous exam papers for you?" Hikigaya suddenly asked.

"Yes, but yes… ah yes, there is a way!" Shiina immediately responded.

Strictly speaking, Hikigaya didn't tell her what he really meant, but that was enough.

Treating past exam papers as practice papers is a practice used by all schools and remedial classes, and the question tactic at sea has always been very effective.

"Tomorrow I'll ask the seniors at the club and give it to Hikigaya-kun."

By the way, Shiina is still from the Tea Ceremony Club, but it is different from those strict sports clubs. This club is purely for fun. You can go if you want. It doesn't matter if you don't want to go. It's free.

"Don't worry, I'll check it myself," Hikigaya refused without hesitation.

Class C may not know this before the exam, but they will definitely know after it is over. If Shiina gives the papers to other classes, then she will most likely be suspected of being an enemy.

According to Shiina's textbook, the scope of the exam was changed and the time was almost up, so they said goodbye and left.

"...Well, let's step aside for a bit."

Shiina originally wanted to invite Hikigaya back to the dorm, but she sensed that he was in a bad mood, so she found an excuse to go shopping.

Moreover, Hikigaya also wanted to relax outside.

Today there were too many facts from which he was numb.

At this time, meeting the night wind and enjoying the smell of loneliness can make people feel at ease.

Unfortunately it would be better if there was a max coffee.

"Enough, let go of your hand.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, a serious conversation reached Hikigaya's ears.

The voices sounded familiar on both sides.

Never...

Hikigaya subconsciously found a place to hide and then turned his attention to where the sound was coming from.

I saw two men and a woman gathered together, one of the bespectacled boys was punching and kicking the other boy, and the only woman present leaned weakly against the wall.

Well done, this is actually a field of jealousy!

...this is weird.

Hikigaya knew these three - brother and sister Horikita and Ayanokouji.

I don't know why the student council president is fighting Ayanokouji... Hey, that seems like jealousy, right?

In just a split second, the two of them moved back and forth several times.

Horikita Manabu was also furious every time he landed a blow, and he apparently received considerable training in martial arts, while Ayanokōji's performance was even more exaggerated, he parried all attacks with very clever movements and seemed to be at ease.

Are these two guys fighters?

Just stop studying and go to boxing competitions!

As soon as Hikigaya complained in his heart, they temporarily stopped.

"That's a good move, I didn't expect you to be able to dodge my attacks in a row."

Horikita asked again after the praise, "Besides, you can predict my next move, did you learn anything?"

"I learned piano and calligraphy. When I was in elementary school, I even won a national piano competition." Ayanokouji was just as boring as ever.

... This guy is really showing off, not drafting.

Hikigaya was a little speechless. According to Haruno, Ayanokōji grew up in a secret facility and never went outside at all.

You're in a ghostly national piano competition!

"Hey man there, how long are you going to hide?"

Suddenly, at this moment, Ayanokōji's eyes suddenly turned in this direction.

Hey, has it been discovered?

Hikigaya was amazed. The hidden skill he was proud of was so easily seen because his sense of presence had increased lately!

"If you don't come out, I'll come to you," Ayanokouji warned.

...Tsk, what a problem.

Hikigaya secretly hates Ayanokouji. This guy can't let others watch the show?

Watch how I will avenge you!

"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you guys," Hikigaya walked out slowly, "It's just that there's a strong atmosphere of jealousy between you two, I really don't want to interfere."

"…Hikigaya, is that you?"

Horikita opened his eyes slightly, as did Horikita beside him. It seems that only Ayanokouji found him there.

But no wonder, because not everyone is as perverted as he is.

"I didn't expect him to be hiding… I don't feel presence at all."

"Yes, yes, President, you have known me for several days. I know I have no reason to exist."

Hikitani casually said a few words to Horikita and then looked at Ayanokouji.

"You really are an asshole.

- No I just…

"I didn't even expect you to play the piano!" Hikigaya interrupted Ayanokouji, "Besides, you also participated in the National Piano Competition.

"...Eh?"

Ayanokouji had never imagined such a turn of events.

He thought that Hikigaya would definitely ask about the fight with President Horikita right now, so he was ready to make excuses.

I really didn't expect the other party to ask about the piano...

Although Ayanokōji really knows how to play the piano and plays it very well, but he never entered third-party competitions, and only invited professionals for comparison.

How can this be answered?

"No, why are you interested? It doesn't look like you're playing the piano," Ayanokouji wanted to change the subject.

"This is true." Hikigaya did not let him succeed, "I have a friend who loves to play the piano and often participates in national competitions, but he never won, so I want to know if he lost to you."

"This is..."

"Just tell me the name of the contest and I'll look it up online later."

Like Ayanokouji, Hikigaya's lies come as soon as he opens his mouth.

Only this score will not yield to the highest masterpiece!
