Ibuki hit him on the head, "No, idiot!"

"You are also in Class D, aren't you?

What a unique boy, Suzune."

After letting go of her little sister, she turned to me.

"No. Unlike Horikita, I'm pretty incompetent."

"How surprisingly low self-confidence." Katsuragi remarked.

"Suzune, is this boy your friend? Honestly, I'm surprised."

"He...is not my friend. Just my classmate." Horikita looked at her brother completely, as if in denial.

"After he saved you?" Shibata asked.

"Ouch. That must have hurt." Sonoda made a face.

"You keep confusing independence with loneliness. And you, Ayanokōji. With you around, things could get interesting."

'I'm sorry, niisan. I'm trying to improve this time. Please, wait for me.'

He passed me and disappeared into the night. So, that was the distinguished student council president. His presence explained part of Horikita's strange behavior.

"That's all?" Nagumo sighed in disappointment.

"I'm going to crawl all the way to Class A even if it kills me," he said. Without his brother, the night was silent again. Horikita sat against the wall, head down. Maybe I had made things worse by getting involved. I was about to go back to the dorms when Horikita called out to me.

"Did you hear everything? Or was it just a coincidence?"

"Oh. Uh, it was half a coincidence, I'd say. I saw you when I bought some juice from the vending machine. I was a bit curious, so I followed you. I really didn't mean to pry into your business, though."

Horikita fell silent once more.

"Your older brother is really strong. He does not lack ferocity."

"Yeah, no kidding." Yume laughs nervously.

Ike seemed to agree with her: "It almost made me wet my pants.

"He ranks fifth dan in karate and fourth dan in aikido."

Wow, he was really strong. If I hadn't walked away, it would have ended badly for me.

"You also practice martial arts, don't you, Ayanokouji-kun? You must have a dan rank."

"I told you, didn't I? Just piano and tea ceremony

.

"You said calligraphy earlier." Matsushita pointed out.

"I also did the tea ceremony."

"You said calligraphy earlier."

"I... did calligraphy on top of that, yes."

"You get lower scores on purpose and say you studied piano and calligraphy. I really don't understand you.""My number was a coincidence. I actually did piano, tea ceremony, and calligraphy." If there was a piano here, it could at least have played "Für Elise."

"You saw a strange side of me."

"We all saw your weird side."

"On the contrary, I always thought of you as a normal girl. Well, not really." Horikita looked at me.
