Part 11
I look forward to the resolution of this problem, but it was not as simple as that.
"Ayanokouji-kun, I have something to ask again. You've already eaten my food, right?"
"You've said that over and over again. Isn't that too cruel?"
In the middle of the meal, the devil strikes again.
Why?
"Cruel? You think what I am doing cruel."
"What do you mean ?"
"During the vote in the previous exam, you tricked me into making a move behind the scenes?
Answer me."
"I don't know what you are talking about ..."
"At that time I got advice from Nii-san. But, you are really the person behind it."
It doesn't look like she was just guessing.
However, Horikita's brother could not have possibly revealed this to her.
"At first I didn't realize it, but after thinking it through, I came to a conclusion."
That is, it was a conclusion she made herself.
"My actions have been seen through by you."
"Even if I deny it, I don't think you will believe me."
"That's correct, I don't have any proof. Even when I asked Nii-san, he didn't reveal anything to
me either. But, I'm sure of it."
Throughout the year, Horikita has began to grow little by little.
This is a fact, even her brother admitted it.
But as the relationship with her brother gradually subsided, Horikita's talents have begun to
develop.
The more time she spends with her brother, the more he could understand her talent. Because
of this, Horikita's brother must have been very disappointed with her, who only continued to
pursue his shadow.
"You look very nervous."
"I feel very pressured by your questions now."
"Well, forget it. From your attitude, I know you won't say anything."
With this, Horikita ended the conversation. It seems that she will become more difficult to
manipulate in the future.
"I still have one more thing to ask, but it's okay for you not to answer this question."
Horikita looked at me closely, as if she was implying that she would not let me escape.
"Can you win in this battle against Sakayanagi-san?"
"She shouldn't be an opponent that can't be beaten. After reading your notes, I suppose so."
"... Yes, if it's like that. I'll try to adjust the class to the best conditions."
"For now, you have done very well."
When Hirata did not do anything, almost the entire class followed Horikita lead.
Paving a road to victory.
This is something I can't do in my position. So I really wanted to thank her, because Horikita can
take action in completing these tasks for me.
"I will leave everything to you beforehand. Everything is at your discretion."
"I already know. But, in terms of Commander's rules, isn't it better for you to come up with them
yourself?"
"That was left to you too."
"... Are you planning to only use the pieces that I have prepared to fight?"
"Besides, I don't know all the details of our class."
"That's right ... if you say so, it's too naive to expect a win against Class A."
"That's the way it is."
Horikita led me to the door, opened it and told me to leave.
"Thank you for your hospitality ... But I hope you won't use this trick again next time."
I can already imagine that I would become paranoid everytime I receive an invitation.
"Okay, I'll think of another method."
No, I didn't mean it like that.
