It's been 3 days since the swimming class. Kushida Kikyou is still trying hard to make friends with Keihoku Suzune.
I happened to run into Ayanokōji as I left the classroom. It was already the end of class.
" Kikyou-kun, do you want to stop by the café on the way back?"
"Yeah, let's go! Oh, but wait a moment, I'll try to invite one more person."
"Kushida Kikyou greeted her female friend, while Keihoku Suzune was packing her textbooks into her backpack.
"Classmate Horikita, I'm going to a café with a friend next. Would you like to come with us?"
"I'm not interested."
Clean and decisive, Keihoku Suzune decisively rejected Kushida Kikyou's invitation.
Keihoku Suzune expressed a clear refusal, but Kushida Kikyou still maintained a smile. This made Ayanokōji have to admire her perseverance and Keihoku Suzune's unyielding nature.
This kind of scene is no longer rare.
Since entering school, Kushida Kikyou has regularly invited Keihoku Suzune to play like this.
Can't I satisfy her even a little bit? Ayanokōji thinks this is the voice of all the girls in the class.
Thinking like this should be considered a biased interpretation from an outsider's perspective.
However, Keihoku Suzune hopes to be able to do things alone, and that is something that no one can deny.
Apart from Hikari, he could talk to her a little.
"I see... Well, I'll invite you again next time!"
"Wait, Kushida-san."
Keihoku Suzune uncommonly called out to Kushida Kikyou.
Ayanokoji is a bit strange.
Could it be that he finally succumbed to Kushida Kikyou's persistent invitations?
It shouldn't be like this...
"Don't invite me again, it makes me very uncomfortable."
"Indifferently," she said.
But Kushida Kikyou not only did not show a lonely expression, but instead maintained a smiling face as she answered.
"Inviting you again!"
Then Kushida Kikyou ran to her friend as usual and they walked together down the corridor.
"Kikyou-kun, don't invite Juebei classmate anymore, I hate that person—"
As the classroom door was about to close, a girl's voice could be faintly heard.
That line should have been heard by Keihoku Suzune who was tidying up her desk, but she seemed completely unconcerned.
"You shouldn't have anything extra to say, right?"
Keihoku Suzune asked Ayanokōji somewhat uneasily, "Hmm, I think I understand your personality very well, but I guess saying it won't make a difference, right?"
Ayanokōji also began to tidy up the desk.
"Let's put your mind at ease for now."
Keihoku Suzune After making preparations to leave, she left the classroom at her own pace.
"How boring it is! Keihoku-san."
Ayanokōji made a sound that seemed like a sigh and stretched lazily.
You'll soon be able to enter "cultivate vital energy," so keep up the good work!
"Can I take up a little of your time, Ayanokōji-kun?" Just as Ayanokōji was about to cross through the remaining people in the classroom, Yosuke Hirata stopped him.
"What's the matter?"
Ayanokōji was a bit puzzled. He was very low-key in the class, and this was the first time Yosuke Hirata had spoken to him.
"It's about Horikita and her situation. Can't we think of a way to help her? The girls are starting to have opinions because she's always alone."
"So even people outside of Keihoku Suzune's circle are starting to avoid her to this extent."
"Can you help me improve my relationship with her a little?"
Yosuke Hirata pleaded with Ayanokōji.
"Isn't that a person's freedom? Horikita She hasn't caused any trouble for anyone."
"Of course, I understand, but many people are also worried. I will definitely not let any bullying happen in the class."
Bullying? Although I feel like this topic has gone off track.
But it's possible that such changes or signs have already appeared, who knows.
So is that why you issued the warning like this?
Yosuke Hirata looked at Ayanokōji with a straightforward and innocent gaze.
"Instead of asking me, Hirata, it's better for you to go and talk directly."
"...Yes, I'm sorry, I said something strange."
Horikita is becoming more and more isolated in the class. Except for Kushida, who I can chat with because of me, I can't talk to other girls, including Horikita.
Will I be completely treated as an outsider in the class in another month?
I'm really looking forward to that scene. How will Kebukita treat me then?
After leaving school, Ayanokoji went straight to the dormitory. Meanwhile, Kushida Kikyou, who should have been out playing with friends, was leaning against the wall as if waiting for someone.
After noticing Ayanokōji, Kushida Kikyou appeared with her usual smile.
Huh...
That guy from Juebei always leaves his mess for me to deal with!
