Animes React To COTE

3- Convenience store

“I decided to participate precisely because I don’t like trouble. Why
didn’t you introduce yourself to them, Horikita? You could have gotten to
know several other students, and it would have been a chance to make
friends.”

Satoshi: She looks like the type that doesn't like to be friends with anyone.

Chitanda: Well it is very sad to be alone.

Hachiman: Well alot of people don't mind being alone.

The other loners agreed.

Quite a few of the students had exchanged cell numbers, too. If Horikita had participated, she would probably have become quite popular.
What a waste.

“There are several reasons why I objected, but I suppose it might be
better if I simply explain, hmm? My introduction might have sown discord, depending on how things went. Thus, doing nothing avoided creating more problems. Am I wrong?”

“But, statistically speaking, there was a high probability that you could have hit it off with everyone after introducing yourself,” I said.

“How did you arrive at that conclusion? Actually, if I argue this with you now, we’ll just end up in an endless debate. Let’s say that the probability of making friends was high, like you said. So, how many people did you get to know?”

“Ugh…”

Everyone chuckled at the conversation.

Mai: pfff, she got him there.

Ishigami: Don't worry Ayanokoji your efforts will be remembered.

That was a rather splendid argument. The fact that I hadn’t yet exchanged contact information with anyone worked in Horikita’s favor. It proved there was no guarantee that introductions led to friendship. I
instinctively averted my eyes.

“In other words, you have no evidence to support your claim that self-
introductions lead to making friends, do you?” she asked. “Besides, I never
intended to make friends in the first place. If I have no need to introduce
myself, then I also have no reason to listen to anyone else’s introductions.
Have I convinced you?”

That reminded me of the disastrous first time I’d tried to introduce myself to Horikita. Come to think of it, it might have been a miracle that I’d
managed to get her name.

Haruno: She is really going at him, poor kid.

Dr.Maruo: He doesn't really care about that honestly.

Yotsuba: At least he is talking with some one now.

Yui: Not really the best of people to talk to but he is getting there.

We roamed around the convenience store without looking at each other. Even though she was somewhat uptight, being with her didn’t feel
uncomfortable.

“Whoa! There’s even an amazing selection of noodle cups here! This
school is super convenient!”

Two rather noisy male students stood before the instant foods. They tossed a veritable mountain of noodle cups into their basket and made their way to the cash register. Besides noodles, they’d stocked up on snacks and juice. Hey, it’d be nearly impossible to go through all your points; better to spend them.

“Noodle cups. They have so many kinds.”

These were definitely one reason I’d come to the convenience store.
