Monday at noon.
Student Council room.
Hikigaya was enjoying lunch while holding the cultural festival safety regulations.
Having quit the wool Club.
PAGE 6
Hikigaya could only treat the Student Council as a quiet place.
The cultural festival was approaching soon, and it was time to consider matters related to it.
It must be said.
Advanced Nurturing's cultural festival was really too simple.
There was no need to consider publicity, no need to consider equipment rental, and no need to consider community groups.
Except for safety regulations, it was entirely the school that was leading it.
In terms of testing ability.
Perhaps ordinary students were more of a test for individual student ability.
But just from the safety regulations, many problems could already be seen.
For example.
2nd Year Class A's Katsuragi didn't apply to use fire, so food categories could be completely ruled out; the remaining were only performances and exhibitions.
Since they weren't related to Class B, there was room for cooperation.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Enter."
Just then, the sound of knocking rang out. Hikigaya spoke, and Yagami Takuya pushed the door and entered.
"Yagami-kun?"
Hikigaya said with some doubt: "Is something the matter?"
It was currently the cultural festival period, and basically everyone was using their time to set up shops; very few people should be as idle as he was.
"Yes, Horikita-senpai asked me to give this letter to senpai."
Yagami Takuya stepped forward with a smile.
He took out a letter from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Originally I went to Class B to find you, but Ichinose-senpai and the others said you were here, so I came over."
"A letter?"
Hikigaya frowned, picked up the envelope, and opened it.
It wouldn't be strange if Horikita Suzune didn't want to see him or if it was inconvenient to scold him to his face.
But upon flipping the envelope.
With just one look.
Hikigaya was about to be stunned.
The seal was actually a pink heart sticker, and there was no signature visible.
If he wasn't mistaken.
It should be a love letter.
Hikigaya looked up at Yagami Takuya, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Are you sure Horikita gave this to me?"
"Yes, Horikita-senpai instructed that she didn't write this letter; she was just passing it on."
Yagami Takuya was full of smiles.
Actually.
He had already read this letter, but he had re-processed it.
A piece of trash like Hikigaya definitely wouldn't be able to tell.
The content of the letter.
Was a love letter with a code, asking to meet Hikigaya at the Student Council at 3:00 PM on the day of the cultural festival.
Using this kind of code.
Clearly meant there was something important to discuss with Hikigaya.
"I see..."
"Vice President Hikigaya, I haven't eaten yet. If there's nothing else, I'll head back."
"I'm sorry, Yagami-kun, for troubling you. Go and eat quickly."
"No, it was just a small matter. Well then, I'll be going."
Saying this.
Yagami Takuya turned and left with a smile.
Vaguely reminding himself that he hadn't eaten was just to subtly improve his impression in Hikigaya's heart.
This was a method to gain the other party's trust, piquing Hikigaya's attention and guilt.
It wasn't a big deal.
But in daily life, if one wants to gain the other party's trust, this kind of method is very effective; it can subtly build up a persona of being a helpful person.
Truthfully.
Although in his heart he wanted to kill Hikigaya in the next second.
But thinking of Ayanokouji.
In order to prove that he himself was the ultimate masterpiece.
Yagami Takuya still gave Hikigaya enough face, letting him be arrogant for a while longer.
He would be dealt with sooner or later.
"Bang..."
Yagami Takuya closed the door.
Hikigaya didn't pay any mind and indeed didn't notice anything unusual. His right hand tremblingly opened the envelope.
[To my beloved Hikigaya.]
Slap
Hikigaya quickly closed it, even more dumbfounded.
It really is a love letter...
Although Horikita Suzune said she was passing it on for someone.
Then it shouldn't be Horikita Suzune... no, it couldn't possibly be Horikita Suzune, right?
Horikita Suzune looked like she really detested him.
Besides, he had targeted Class D like that; Horikita Suzune shouldn't possibly like him.
No, no, no.
Even if Horikita Suzune was passing it on for someone.
For Horikita Suzune to be in contact with the person and be willing to help, it must be a classmate from Class D.
He had targeted Class D like that.
It would be good if Class D didn't hate him to death; it was even more impossible for someone to like him.
Then was it Horikita Suzune herself?
Just because she was shy?
So she found such an excuse?
No, no, no, impossible.
2nd Year Class B.
Having received a love letter, Hikigaya couldn't sit still and went back to the class to call out Ichinose, Himeno Yuki, and Sakura Airi.
"Here..."
Hikigaya handed the letter to the three of them.
He had just read it again, and it was indeed a love letter, saying things like please allow me to confess to you, actually I've always liked you, and so on.
"This is?"
"A love letter..."
"A love letter?"
Ichinose and the others were slightly stunned.
"Yes, and it's a love letter from Horikita Suzune."
Hikigaya also said with a complex expression: "It was handed to me by Yagami, who said Horikita Suzune was passing it on for someone. Help me analyze what exactly is going on."
"A love letter from Horikita-san?"
Sakura Airi was also a bit dumbfounded; no matter how she thought about it, it felt somewhat wrong.
The three of them didn't dare to be careless and quickly opened the envelope.
Sakura Airi and Himeno Yuki huddled around Ichinose, peeking with their little heads curiously.
It was indeed a love letter...
"How is it?"
Hikigaya said with a complex expression: "How could Horikita give... no, even if it's Class D, they should hate me, so why would they send me a love letter?"
"That's not necessarily true."
Ichinose pinched the envelope and thought seriously:
"Hikigaya is the Vice President now, and also..."
Pausing for a moment.
Ichinose still said:
"With us by your side, it's possible someone would want to raise their evaluation by dating you. It's just that if it's Class D..."
"It should be possible..."
Sakura Airi also said with concern: "I feel like if it's Shinohara... Matsushita... it seems all of them are possible..."
Only women understand women best.
Although they didn't necessarily understand Hikigaya, someone who could be snatched away must be the best.
"Should we ask kei and the others?"
Sakura Airi suggested.
Thinking carefully, she suddenly felt that the gang in Class D were all possible, especially those who hung out with Karuizawa.
After all.
Karuizawa had always advocated that.
Dating an outstanding person can improve one's own evaluation.
Even if their mouths were awkward, they could still hang out with Karuizawa, so they probably didn't care much in their hearts.
"I see..."
Hikigaya scratched his head.
It's over.
He suddenly felt that the lessons during this period had been for nothing; how was it that the more he learned, the less he felt he understood these women?
"However..."
Himeno Yuki also knit her brows and analyzed seriously:
"If Horikita has some other purpose, I feel it's also possible she sent it."
"How so?"
"For example, wanting to get information about Class B from you, targeting our Class B, or something? I feel it's possible it's Horikita..."
"Indeed..."
Hikigaya frowned.
What could a person who had lost their morals not do!
And he felt that if it was beneficial to Class D—no, to rising to Class A—it felt like Horikita Suzune was capable of doing anything.
"Hmm..."
Ichinose also started talking: "Although I feel the possibility is low, is it possible that Yagami sent it to you? Or is it just a joke?"
"Hey..."
The possibility of that was too low. Hikigaya rolled his eyes:
"Can you please stop joking? What should be done about this?"
"Reject it."
Ichinose's expression was somewhat serious: "No matter who it is, you must reject it. Is that okay, Hikki?"
"That's right."
"I also think so."
"No problem. I'll ask Horikita what she means after school."
Hikigaya nodded without thinking much.
Immediately after, Ichinose smiled and took Hikigaya's hand:
"If it's true love, I would accept it, but this kind of woman who does it for showing off or to improve her own evaluation must absolutely be rejected, understand?"
"Rest assured, I'm not an idiot; I won't easily be used by others."
Hikigaya rubbed her little head and smiled.
That kind of person.
Even if she were beautiful, he wouldn't like her.
Karuizawa only said those things for self-preservation; in reality, she was very devoted—once she fell for someone, she lived entirely for them and could give up everything.
Of course.
According to Karuizawa's own words.
She had completely parasitized him and wanted to suck him dry every day.
Hikigaya didn't mind.
Letting her suck was fine!
