Oreki Houtarou's Strength-First Classroom

"Why, it seems that I lost money. I just took 200,000 points from you." Baoquan said. "There are 40 of you in the class and you only paid 200,000 to get such an important school rule."

"So, thank me. If it weren't for me, it's hard to say whether your so-called Class A will still be safe after this month."

"Okay, get out of here!"

"I don't like taking women with me!" Baoquan said.

It should be said that people who come from the same place as Long Yuan think that girls are a burden.

"I just want to remind you." Although Baoquan chased them away directly, Tian Ze did not leave.

"Because even if you buy a knife, it's better to buy some supporting facilities." Tianze said. "Knives, cutting boards, and non-stick pans."

"After all, in this case, he is like a boy who likes to cook." Amazawa said. "Instead of making people doubt what you want to do."

"hehe……"

These words made Baoquan suddenly laugh. "Did you also participate in that plan?"

"I'll give you 1 million, so shut the hell up!" Baoquan said. "Then get out of here now!"

"I don't like very fierce people. If you can't control your emotions, it's like being incapable of getting angry." Amasawa Ichika said. "But I gave you the advice. I wish you success. After all, I have other important things to do now."

"..." Baoquan.

At this moment, Baoquan confirmed that his plan had been seen through by the other party.

This smiling tiger-like girl is not simple.

"Wait a minute." Looking at the figure of Ichika Amasawa who was about to leave, Baoquan said, "What is your so-called important matter?"

"I'm very interested in Kushida Kikyo-senpai from Class D of the second grade." Amasawa Ichika said. "I just got some information about her. I'm somewhat interested in it."

"Think about it for a while. I have never met this type of person. I want to play with her."

"..." Oreki.

"..." Kushida.

grass!

Kushida was originally listening to the conversation between Amasawa Ichika and Hosen. Although he didn't understand it, he always felt that this school girl was weird.

And now.

What's going on with this school girl?

It was really aimed specifically at her.

Chapter 222 Horikita: So, the way you vent your dissatisfaction is to kick the railing and scold me?

Open-air cafe, located on the second floor.

"The cappuccino you ordered—"

The waiter brought the drinks and placed the cappuccino on Kushida's side, while Oreki-san took away the coffee he ordered.

Take a sip.

Sitting in the open-air booth, Oreki-san looked at the sky.

It is now 8:06 in the evening. The moon has been hazy these past few days, but the bright starry sky can be seen.

The dark sky is dotted with shining silvery stars like spider webs.

This scene is somewhat unique.

Oreki-san took out his phone, but unfortunately, the pixels were not high enough.

Sakura-san is always taking pictures. Oreki-san feels that he is also infected, and occasionally wants to take out his camera and take a picture.

But for Kushida, now was not the time to look at the stars.

"It's really too much." She looked aggrieved. "Why is Senior Sister Tianze targeting me? I obviously don't even know her."

"Kaka—" Kushida responded with a calm voice turning the pages of a book.

"..." Kushida.

Kushida then looked at the third person who appeared in this place.

Since money was used in advance to clear the way, there were no other guests on the open-air second floor, but there was one person who was unique.

That is a girl with straight black hair and foxy eyes.

This is Horikita Suzune.

Horikita Suzune was also invited here.

"Okay." Oreki-san noticed that Kushida seemed to be aroused, so he comforted him. Take the initiative to explain why Horikita Suzune appears here.

"New students have already enrolled," Oreki said. "There are indeed students from the same junior high school as you."

"And Kushida...is our companion."

"She has a dark history that cannot be told to others," Oreki said, "so she has to be protected."

"The current junior classmate Amasawa Ikka from Class A of the first grade seems to know about Kushida's dark history." Oreki reminded.

"I can provide some support." Suzune put down the physics textbook she carried with her and expressed her stance, "But it's best to know Kushida's past."

"Knowing yourself and your enemy will make it possible for Kushida not to betray him again."

Betrayal...?

indeed.

Horikita was betrayed by Kushida during the sports festival.

Although he was forgiven by Horikita in the end, the negative impact of this incident was too great to allow people to fully trust him.

And Kushida... is easily manipulated.

She was assigned to Class D. Although she was excellent at interpersonal communication, she was not very smart.

This can be seen from the fact that she has always been Oreki-san's tool.

Then, it is really possible that when the dark history is known to the first grade and then is blackmailed, she may do some stupid things in order to maintain the current interpersonal relationship.

Therefore, it is useful to obtain her dark history and determine to what extent the dark history can shake her, and even how to avoid it.

Horikita-san analyzed rationally.

but.

"..." Kushida.

Kushida didn't respond immediately.

But from the way she didn't get up and leave quickly, she probably wanted to say something in her heart.

Rather, she actually wanted to find opportunities to tell her past several times, but Houtarou Oreki found it troublesome, so he refused.

As for Horikita Suzune, this guy doesn't care about others.

Therefore, Kushida was interrupted several times in succession when he seized the opportunity to expose himself to black history.

But the opportunity finally came.

"First of all, what do you think a person's limit is?"

Leaning gently on the table, Kushida said, "And knowing that your talent is at its limit, what should you do?"

So Horikita began to listen carefully.

Even though Oreki-san was involved, he had to listen to her words.

Rather, he was actually a little curious. Kushida usually took out the trash, so what fresh stuff could he take out now?

In the past, Kushida only had experience points, which Oreki found troublesome, but it was unlikely that he would completely ignore her regardless of the current contact or the possibility in the future.

So Oreki-san kindly began to listen for the first time.

If Kushida's dark history can be dealt with directly, then dealing with it directly is the best energy-saving solution.

So look how dangerous her dark history is.

And Kushida continued,

"Discovered my limits."

"Then you have to be an ordinary person and admit your shortcomings?"

"Perhaps, I had this idea at the beginning."

"It's better to say that I know that no matter how hard I work, I can't compare with talented people. If I can't be the first, I can only be second, third or fourth. Although I have achieved the ranking, the latter ranking makes me Totally incapable of feeling happy.”

"That's what is called not admitting defeat."

"But it's not just that."

"Because I quickly discovered that I had a special skill in a field that others couldn't reach."

"That is, as long as I can be gentler and kinder than anyone else, I can become number one in this field. Everyone is very close to me," Kushida said.

That is her current image of a little angel.

He is indeed gentler than anyone else, more angelic than anyone else, and more considerate than anyone else.

This is the Kushida Empire she has been building.

but.

"But didn't Ichinose beat you?" Horikita Suzune said. "So you're not number one at this point."

"..." Kushida. Kushida instantly entered a darkened state, "Can you stop talking now?"

Before coming to Ikusei High School, Kushida had never met an archangel like Ichinose Honami.

And even if the archangel's performance in Ichinose's rumor incident allowed her to know the other person's past, even that past could not become a black spot for people to hate Ichinose.

Rather, it makes people feel that the angel has become more perfect.

Because Ichinose is human too.

Man is such a creature that cannot achieve absolute perfection.

"Keep talking," Oreki-san reminded Kushida.

"Yeah." Kushida finally relaxed a little, but he almost wanted to shut himself down after finally letting it out, "So, thanks to this field, I can become a celebrity. Both boys and girls like me. I feel it. The pleasure of being relied on and trusted. Elementary and junior high schools are really happy..."

Oreki then touched his chin.

So, has this guy been like this since elementary school?

Being trusted by everyone is her paradise, but she will soon discover that being liked by everyone is her hell, because it is one thing to be kind and approachable, but the real core is not to be disliked by the other person. , so you have to cater to the atmosphere.

Oreki-san was thinking, but Kushida was minding his own business and wanted to continue talking.

Although Horikita Suzune was just asked to shut up by Kushida, she also had something to prove, "Isn't it painful for you to continue doing things that you don't want to do at all? That's my word, I think My mind couldn’t hold on long ago and must have collapsed.”

Horikita is true.

She almost couldn't understand that there could be such self-abuse people in the world, just to experience something different from others?

Is he a fool?

So how would Kushida answer?

"It's painful. Of course I'm in pain." Kushida-san finally responded.

She pressed her head with both hands, "Every day I accumulate the kind of pressure that makes me almost bald."

"But, in order to maintain my gentleness, I can't let anyone see me like this."

"That's why I endured, endured, and kept enduring. But the limit of my soul has arrived. I can't keep accumulating pressure," Kushida said.

"Then the dark history you want is here. It was okay when I was in elementary school. I had the habit of keeping a diary."

"It's just written in a notebook. But in junior high school, the complexity of interpersonal relationships is beyond imagination. The more you are trusted, the more things you know, and the pressure you bear does not increase exponentially."

"So I started blogging without naming anyone."

"Just hoping to be viewed. It seems to take the pressure off."

"But they were discovered by classmates. Although they didn't have names, they had experienced related things, so they confirmed their names and took the seats."
