Oreki Houtarou's Strength-First Classroom

"That's right."

"Did I come into contact with Sakayanagi-san too much and disturb the relationship between Oreki-san and Sakayanagi-san?" Ichinose seemed to be starting to reflect on himself.

"..." Oreki.

No, nothing.

Why do you say that?

Oreki doesn't think that he and Sakayanagi Yusu have become friends, and then he won't be jealous because his friend has a better relationship with someone else, so Ichinose doesn't need to worry about it.

"I think you need to pay special attention," Oreki-san said.

"Huh?" Ichinose flicked her slender eyelashes in confusion.

Good-looking girls are cute no matter what expression they have, and she is looking at him curiously now.

"..." Oreki-san.

Um.

What should he say?

Tell her that Sakayanagi-san may have been preparing to target her when he came into contact with her.

So Ichinose, are you paying attention to safety or something?

Especially since it's a new semester, so you're probably going to be attacked.

But this is on Ichinose's side.

And Oreki-san knows very well that it is good for Sakayanagi-san to have a good impression of him, so is he going to stop Sakayanagi's plan and side with Ichinose?

Apparently not too good either.

Because he didn’t try to ruin his family’s plans from an outsider’s perspective.

So do you want to support Sakayanagi-san?

But he didn't want to hurt Ichinose.

"..."

In other words, should I choose Ichinose or Sakayanagi Arisu now?

"..."

Ichinose is an angel.

Mr. Sakayanagi is his date in the second grade, and she is also the future mother of one of his children.

And he doesn't hate that Sakayanagi-san thinks she's super cute.

Eh!

Oreki-san found it difficult to make a decision.

As a result, a new problem emerged.

That is.

On the 31st, I went back to school and had lunch break.

Oreki-san received Kushida’s message.

[Although I don’t want to report it, but. ]

[Your Horikita Suzune was attacked. ]by Kushida.

"..." Oreki-san.

--

Um.

So why was she the one being attacked?

…

"Oreki-kun is very busy every day."

During the lunch break, Oreki returned to class after having lunch in the cafeteria, but Sakayanagi-san noticed that he was about to leave after reading the message.

"..." Oreki. "There's a little something to take care of."

profound.

Sakayanagi-san then read quietly.

On her desk is a book called "Flow" that Oreki mentioned before. Although she is a genius and learns many things quickly, she is also curious about Oreki-san's reading method. So I want to learn it.

certainly.

Read a book together.

This can increase your understanding of the other party and increase the number of common topics with the other party.

So she returned her attention to the book.

Oreki, on the other hand, went downstairs to first-year Class C.

Kushida sent a message and reported some information.

The classmates in the class were not in a good state after lunch break.

It seems that while eating, I got information from other classes and was told some rumors about Horikita Suzune. Then he was asking Horikita-san.

As for this [other class], it was not convenient for her to disclose it.

but.

For now, the incredible rumors are still limited to Class C due to the length of time.

But if it is not dealt with, it will probably spread throughout the school soon.

Kushida is good at obtaining other people's secrets, so he naturally knows that... once rumors are born, they can have a strong effect.

And with Horikita-san’s personality, she probably wouldn’t care about this kind of thing.

She doesn't pay much attention to other people and is not interested in other people's gossip, so she is very resistant.

According to her, it's probably to listen to other people's evaluations of me?

I'm not interested.

Because if I really cared about other people’s gossip, I would have been beaten since elementary school.

So she has strong resistance.

After all, he was alone, aloof and awe-inspiring.

but.

[By the way, is Suzune Horikita really the sister of the student council president? ]by Kushida.

Kushida asked.

ah.

In other words, the rumors this time are of this kind.

Oreki-san immediately confirmed that Horikita-san had no power to resist.

Because the first time he met Horikita's sister alone, it was this sister who was asked by Horikita's brother to drop out of school.

Although he was eventually retained.

But he still understands some of Horikita's sister's thoughts.

Sister Horikita does not want to embarrass her brother Horikita Manabu, who is the student council president, because of her identity. That's why I followed him to fly, hoping to collect 20 million points, a feat that even my brother had not accomplished, and then prove my strength.

at the same time.

This also shows that she absolutely rejects other people knowing that she and Horikita Manabu are brother and sister.

Because she is not strong enough.

It's not that I hate Horikita Manabu, but I have low self-esteem and feel that I will hinder Horikita Manabu and become a weapon for the enemy to attack Horikita Manabu.

Not just being unhelpful and then becoming a burden or something.

She was quite disgusted with this kind of thing.

And now.

The sibling relationship between her and her brother Horikita Manabu has been publicized in the class. To her, this must have caused trouble for her brother.

Then...it's impossible to ignore it.

So basically it was sent.

With this thought in mind, Oreki-san has arrived at the door of first-year Class C.

I spotted Horikita Suzune at a glance.

Actually no.

Because although she was in the class, her position was surrounded by other students.

So she couldn't be seen among the crowd.

The students around seemed to be curious and asked her questions.

"Horikita-san——"

"You have received a lot from your brother who is the student council president, so it doesn't matter if you give us a little benefit."

Yamauchi-san chirped.

And this rhetoric shows that they have exposed the information to the class that Horikita Suzune is the sister of the outstanding student council president.

So even though she hasn't seen Horikita-san yet, Oreki-san already feels that she looks pale now.

"After all, in this exam, I can get information from my brother," Yamauchi said.

Yamauchi's biggest impression on the class was his R ranking at the beginning of school, which caused the overall evaluation of the boys in the class to drop. At the same time, he initially said that Sakura liked him, but everyone knew that was a lie.

After all, Sakura is a super beauty. As long as there is no problem with her eyes, she will not fall in love with Yamauchi.

And he is quite an irresponsible person.

"What did you say I...got?" Horikita Suzune seemed puzzled.

"It's just the test papers! Since I have an older brother who is the student council president, I must know about the test papers and stuff."

"Why don't you help us! You know how we have been studying for the past month."

And a girl talked to him.

As for this girl, Oreki knew that she was the classmate Yoshiko Itada who was seduced by Ryuuen.

But it's not just her, there are several average-looking girls around her.

In other words, the people who will participate in this kind of questioning are ordinary students who have a relatively low sense of presence in the class.

People with a little bit of brains would not immediately ask so many people in person for the news.

Of course, it is also possible that most of the students in the current class have not returned.

There are now less than 20 students in Class C.

The others were probably still eating.

I didn't see Megumi or the other hot girls either. The gentle Hirata-kun and Kogendera were not there either.

And Horikita Suzune found it incredible.

"ha……"

"Papers and stuff - how can such a thing be possible..."

But her words were interrupted.

"Yeah, it's so convenient to have an elder brother who is the president - by the way, your brother must have given you so many points. I'm so envious." Someone said to me. "I don't have any money this month. Horikita-san, please borrow some—"

Um.

This is very Class C.
