Suzune vs Arisu (Inspired by Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian)

"He's.... extremely lazy and irresponsible!"

Yes! Go, Horikita!

"Ayanokouji-kun always gets average scores and doesn't strive to improve himself. Which is why I don't think someone like him is fitting for any student council position."

Good, good. Everything is going according to plan. If this continues, I can avoid having to join the student council.

Sakayanagi just finished drinking her tea, but when she puts her cup down, a bit of its content spills on the table. I can tell how unpleased she looked with what the younger Horikita just said.

"That's something that I cannot ignore as his childhood friend, Horikita-san."

"What?"

"Maybe you lack understanding of him?"

"As if. After all, I've been with him for almost a year now as his neighbor. So I know him very well."

"That's cute. But know this, Horikita-san, I've known Ayanokouji-kun back when we were kids. That means I understand him better than anyone else."

"Horikita? Sakayanagi?"

"What's this? A debate's about to start?"

Kaichou, don't just sit there and do nothing! Stop these two!

"Yes, Ayanokouji-kun is lazy and doesn't take things seriously, but in reality, he just wants to avoid the spotlight and any attention that might bother him, yes?"

"You say that, but it gets to the point that he's barely doing anything for the class. He's shown to be very uncooperative, especially during special exams."

"But in the end, your class won during the deserted island, and it's all thanks to him, right?"

"That's because he's been operating behind the scenes. Did he even bother to talk to me about his plan to begin with? No, that in itself shows how uncooperative he can be. Something that's unbefitting of a student council member."

Little did she know, I was forced to win that special exam because Chabashira-sensei threatened me with expulsion.

"But Horikita-san, if you're saying that he's lazy and doesn't improve himself, then why was he accepted in this school to begin with?"

That's because I was a special recommendation to ANHS. I didn't follow a simple proceedure that most of the students went through in order to be admitted to this school. I was a big exception, and Sakayanagi's father knows it. All of it was done in order for me to escape my father and the whiteroom.

Horikita took some damage from Sakayanagi's attack that not even she can deny. Horikita was backed into a corner.

"He was accepted, yes, but he kept his talent hidden. In fact, out of all the Class-D students, he's the most defective because he has so much skills but refuses to show it all."

"That doesn't ignore the fact that he's a special student who's more capable than anyone. Also, I have a buuuuunch of pictures of Ayanokouji-kun when we were kids, wanna see?"

Sakayangi proceeds to show a photo of me as a little kid wearing a dinosaur outfit. Wait, how on earth did she get that picture?

I don't know how that helps her argument, but for some reason, it was super effective. I can see how pissed off the younger Horikita is after seeing the cheat code Sakayanagi used.

After a few seconds of thinking for a counter attack, Horikita's face suddenly turns red.

"I CAN'T SAY THAT!!"

Whatever she thought up, it must be a pretty embarrassing memory. My guess, it's that one time when I entered Horikita's room and saw her naked. Yeah, better not bring that up.

"All right, that's enough."

Unable to handle the debate any longer, I stood up from my seat and grabbed the two girls by their shoulders.

"I'm sorry, Horikita-san, I got too excited."

"N-No, I should be the one apologizing."

The two finally calmed down, and the atmosphere went back to normal. That's when I just realized that the two of them arguing caused some eyes from the other customers to gather at our table.

"So in the end, I don't know anything about Ayanokouji-kun, huh?"

Horikita whispered, but it was loud enough only for me to hear.

Please don't talk like that, Horikita. I'll fall for you even harder.

"Did you say something Horikita?"

"I-I said we should start eating."

She's a blushing mess right now, making her glare even cuter.

And with that, the battle of Childhood Friend vs First Friend came to an end. What's the verdict? It's 5-1, Sakayanagi dominates Horikita.
