"Not really,"
Hikigaya reluctantly said.
Since the other party had already sat across from him, there was nothing he could do.
Moreover, if two people are seen sitting together, it would probably be difficult for others to come forward and share a table.
At this time, Hikigaya noticed that Horikita Suzune's lunch was also a free vegetable set meal.
Class D currently has 109 class points.
In October,
Horikita Suzune still kept her promise and transferred half of her personal points to him, but it was done through online transfer.
The rest was only over five thousand personal points.
With so little money, even if she wanted to prepare her own lunch, it wouldn't be enough.
Horikita Suzune needed to rely on free food to get through the day, which was probably inevitable.
It was really miserable.
Hikigaya felt a bit uncomfortable.
After all, mainly because of his existence, Horikita Suzune was living so miserably. Otherwise, with more than ten thousand personal points, it would barely be enough.
He also earned so many personal points from Horikita Manabu.
Hikigaya felt...
"Should I support the other side a bit?"
But on second thought.
Half of the personal points every month, that's a reasonable and normal transaction!
Horikita Suzune is not like Sakura Airi who stimulates people's protective desire, why should I support this arrogant person?
Hikigaya comfortably picked up a piece of fried pork chop and put it in his mouth.
At this moment.
Horikita Suzune took out bottles and cans from her handbag and put them on the table, opening them one by one.
Pickled radish, pickled cucumber...
All kinds of pickled dishes appeared in front of Hikigaya.
As expected of Horikita Suzune, unexpectedly excellent.
Just by observing.
Hikigaya could also feel that her cooking skills must not be bad.
Even if the living conditions are limited, this guy also has a way to improve life, worthy of being a delicate girl from an elite family.
Horikita Suzune's slender jade fingers picked up the chopsticks, picked up a small ball of rice and put it into her cherry-colored lips.
Even if it's a mountain vegetable set meal.
In her hands, it seems to have become a delicious dish, the action of eating is particularly elegant, obviously she has received good education since childhood.
'Damn...'
Hikigaya felt that the fried pork chop was not delicious.
It's only now that he reacted.
Horikita Suzune is not the object he needs to worry about at all.
This girl must have come over to pretend to be pitiful on purpose, wanting him to give up those personal points.
That's right, it must be like this.
What a vicious woman!
You must not be deceived by this woman's beautiful appearance.
Hikigaya ate silently.
I don't believe that those few bottles of pickles can really taste better than fried pork chops.
"I'm sorry."
At this moment, after eating a bite of mountain vegetables, Horikita Suzune spoke slowly with a calm face.
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Hikigaya was instantly alert.
This woman suddenly said something, it's not Horikita Suzune's style at all.
"I can understand now."
"For a while in the past, my attitude has not been very good."
"Anyway, even though I have been getting help from you, I have always been vigilant about whether Class B has other purposes."
"So, I came here to apologize to you this time."
Horikita Suzune's tone was calm, as if she was just stating her own attitude, whether the other party accepts her apology or not is not important.
Hikigaya was slightly stunned.
I don't feel that her attitude has any problem.
After all, the two of them belong to different classes, it's normal for Horikita Suzune to be vigilant about Class B, even if she apologizes, she doesn't need to get his forgiveness.
Compared to Ichinose.
Horikita Suzune's attitude is really normal.
It's just a bit too self-righteous.
But now.
This guy actually started to apologize for his past attitude.
"You... Why do I feel you've changed a bit."
Hikigaya was a bit confused.
Although it's just a few encounters, he doesn't know Horikita Suzune very well, but this guy is obviously not the type to apologize actively.
Even if there is a mistake, as long as it is not her own mistake, Horikita Suzune will mostly blame the error on the other party.
But now she really apologized.
To be honest.
Hikigaya was simply shocked to the extreme.
What happened to this girl during this time.
"Is that so? Maybe..."
Horikita Suzune's mouth showed a slight smile, and she couldn't help thinking about the sports festival.
Her past self was indeed too self-righteous.
Thinking that she could solve everything with her own strength, she didn't need to rely on any companions.
Now.
She realized that this is not the case, and she will never be like this in the future.
"I see..."
Seeing that Horikita Suzune didn't want to say more, Hikigaya didn't ask more.
After all, this is all about Class D. It's only natural that Horikita might not want to tell him what might have happened in between.
"Do you want to try it?"
"Huh?"
Hikigaya looked up at her in confusion, only to see Horikita Suzune seemingly pushing the bottle of pickled radish to the middle.
"I see you've been looking at these few dishes, you can try them."
"No need, I don't have any reason to eat your food."
Hikigaya said indifferently.
The things you can't eat are always the most fragrant.
Seeing Horikita Suzune eating so deliciously, he was indeed aroused by his appetite.
But if he really wanted to eat, it wasn't that he couldn't afford to buy it, he wouldn't just eat someone else's food casually. Yes, he would go buy it after school today.
"Don't be like that."
Horikita Suzune said calmly, "It's just a little pickled vegetable, and besides, Hikigaya, refusing a girl's kindness is not something to be praised."
"..."
Hikigaya looked at her suspiciously.
There shouldn't be any traps, right?
Although he didn't know much about Horikita Suzune.
But just like Ryuen said, she is a serious person and probably wouldn't use any despicable means.
"Let's forget it."
Hikigaya's attitude softened a bit, but he still chose to refuse.
As his father said, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive people. Anyway, he doesn't lack this bit of food, so it's better not to take this risk.
Moreover.
Horikita Suzune should have tasted those small dishes. Letting him eat them would be a bit embarrassing.
"Sigh."
Horikita Suzune sighed faintly, picked up a piece of pickled radish and put it into his bowl calmly.
"I've said it, it's just a little dish, no need to be polite, if I let you eat, just eat."
"Uh..."
Hikigaya looked at the radish in the plate, his expression a bit uncomfortable.
Except for Komachi.
This should be the first time he has tasted a girl's homemade cooking.
The food is already in the plate, he can't just leave it there, right? That way, it seems like it would provoke Horikita Suzune's anger.
After hesitating for a moment.
Hikigaya picked up the radish and put it in his mouth.
The vinegar and the sweetness of the radish itself mixed together, the weak spiciness of the pickled pepper stimulated the taste buds.
Horikita Suzune's cooking skills are indeed good.
If it weren't for the halo of his sister, Horikita Suzune's cooking skills would be several levels higher than Komachi's.
This guy should just become a chef after graduation.
Hikigaya's eyes lit up.
"It's really good, I didn't expect you to be really good at cooking."
"Thank you for your compliment, a total of one thousand personal points."
"Eh?"
Hikigaya's cheeks suddenly stiffened, wondering if he had heard wrong.
"What... what do you mean?"
"You ate it."
Horikita Suzune wiped her mouth with a tissue, her tone calm.
"I made the pickled radish, and I made it myself. It's great, you can eat the homemade cooking of a beauty like me. By the way, this is the first time I've cooked for a boy other than my relatives."
"Wait a minute!"
Hikigaya quickly raised his hand, "Don't you think this is very despicable? I only ate one piece!"
"So what?"
Horikita Suzune pushed three cans of pickles to him, her face calm.
"You've already eaten the things here, unfortunately, I don't want to eat things that other men have eaten, one thousand personal points, all these are given to you!"
"Uh..."
Hikigaya was somewhat taken aback.
Not to mention the food, even the things he touched, girls don't want to touch again, Horikita Suzune's reaction is also normal.
Hikigaya is very self-aware, but he is still somewhat unconvinced.
"Even so, you've already eaten it, a thousand points is really too expensive."
"It's not expensive at all."
Horikita Suzune explained seriously:
"Even in the supermarket, these three jars of pickles are worth close to a thousand points, and I haven't touched a bite."
"Uh..."
Hikigaya was slightly stunned, carefully recalling.
Only to find out that Horikita Suzune really didn't touch it at all.
From the beginning.
She was planning to let him buy these pickles, deliberately preparing to calculate him.
Little did she know.
Horikita Suzune has been squatting here for a few days.
Except for the fact that she really has no money and can only eat the free mountain vegetable set meal, she is basically guarding him.
There is no special reason.
It's just that Horikita Suzune feels that her relationship with him is relatively familiar, and Hikigaya's character is also easier to get along with.
"You..."
Hikigaya was somewhat speechless: "Let people use it first and then force them to buy it, don't you think this is very mean?"
"Is that so?"
Horikita Suzune didn't care: "Didn't you also praise it for being delicious just now? What are you dissatisfied with?"
"No."
Hikigaya was indignant and took out his phone to transfer a thousand personal points to Horikita Suzune.
"Thank you for your patronage."
Horikita Suzune breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest.
It's really hard for a girl to spend a month with five thousand personal points.
Just the physiological supplies alone cost about two thousand points.
Although the school also has free products, for the sake of hygiene, Horikita Suzune really doesn't want to compromise herself in this regard.
There is really no way, so I want to get a little bit from Hikigaya.
"If you want to eat again."
"You can contact me at any time, and I can give you a 10% discount depending on the situation!"
After said that
Horikita Suzune took her tray and turned around and left.
The so-called depending on the situation, I'm afraid it's looking at the class points situation of Class D.
"This despicable woman."
Hikigaya looked at the three jars of pickles in front of him, and he was heartbroken.
His father had already warned that the more beautiful the woman, the more likely she is to deceive people, and he was still fooled.
Although the price is fair.
But the method is really mean.
"Sigh."
Hikigaya looked up at Horikita Suzune's slender back.
Although she has changed a bit, it doesn't seem to be much.
Rather.
Hikigaya feels.
Horikita Suzune has become more annoying.
Actually.
As long as Horikita Suzune speaks up.
Although Hikigaya will not write off her debt, but just postpone it for a few months, Hikigaya thinks he can agree.
There is no need to use this method at all.
However.
Looking at Horikita Suzune's back, Hikigaya felt even more sad.
Her performance also reflects the current situation of Japan.
Horikita Suzune's change is probably just a microcosm of this school.
For the sake of life, for personal points, and for promotion to Class A, Horikita Suzune had to make some changes.
Become more selfish, become more utilitarian.
Become more focused on strength, more focused on results.
Become more like a savvy socialite.
In order to benefit herself, she abandoned her naive self in the past.
This,
It's probably the purpose of ANHS's establishment.
Let them adapt to everything in society in advance.
Just.
Is this really correct?
Hikigaya couldn't help but feel a bit helpless. Would he also become like this? Could he still face himself now ten years later?
The kind Class B, the gentle Ichinose and others.
Would they also become such people because of life...
Hikigaya wasn't sure, but every time he thought about these things, he felt a bit uncomfortable inside.
For money.
The innocent self is no longer there, as if it has been replaced by another person.
He didn't know if this was really worth it.
