"Eh?"
"Is senpai worried about me?"
Nanase Tsubasa was taken aback.
She was told that Ayanokouji had a super background, surely he didn't want her to get hurt for a little profit.
Even though they had just met.
She just came to gather information.
She wanted to understand Ayanokouji's character from a more objective perspective, then decide whether to take measures, but she ran into such a kind senpai.
Nanase Tsubasa inevitably felt a bit guilty.
If it weren't for her childhood friend being driven to death by Ayanokouji, she really wouldn't want to use these kind people.
Unfortunately.
This is also something that can't be helped.
Kind people should be able to give a fairer evaluation, right?
Looking at Hikigaya in front of her.
Nanase Tsubasa's gaze was firm.
If Ayanokouji is a bad person, she must make Ayanokouji pay the price!
Feeling the heavy gaze.
Hikigaya was a bit embarrassed, he always wants to be good at understanding others and interfering with their judgments, will definitely make people resentful.
This old problem.
It really can't be changed no matter how hard you try.
"Forget it."
Hikigaya covered it up somewhat awkwardly: "It is just a slight reminder, don't take it to heart."
"Mm."
Nanase Tsubasa shook her head.
She had known for a long time that Ayanokouji had a strong background, so this didn't count as anything.
However.
"Then what does senpai think?"
Nanase Tsubasa's tone was somewhat stern: "As long as the background is strong, it doesn't matter what bad things are done? According to the senpai's words just now, Ayanokouji-senpai is at least a very selfish type, right?"
"Hmm?"
Hikigaya's gaze was slightly heavy.
He felt that the girl in front of him had an inexplicable obsession with Ayanokouji.
"You really do know Ayanokouji, don't you?"
"No..."
Nanase Tsubasa was slightly stunned, then quickly shook her head.
Obviously.
She didn't want to say more about this.
"Mm..."
Hikigaya didn't want to delve into it either, he just said helplessly:
"Doing bad things is naturally not okay, but unfortunately, there is nothing like right nor wrong in our world. Even if that guy did something bad, there's no good way to punish him, right?"
It's not that he's pessimistic.
If those big shots want to crush them, it's no harder than crushing an ant.
Even if you just accidentally offend those big shots, they can drive ordinary people to death.
Even.
There might not be any evidence left.
It's is basically impossible to punish them.
Unless.
You can find a big shot of the same level to rely on, but they also don't have the value to match it.
"Even so, at least..."
Nanase Tsubasa's voice raised a few points, with an unquestionable tone:
"At least they have to apologize, right?"
"Oh..."
Hikigaya was a bit stunned.
He felt that this girl is out of hope and she must have been specially brought by Tsukishiro to make Ayanokouji drop out.
"That... I'm sorry."
Nanase Tsubasa also felt that her emotions were a bit off.
After learning that her childhood friend was driven to death by someone, she has been alone ever since, and this is the first time she has met someone who would care about her gently.
She inevitably said a few more words.
"I got a bit excited unintentionally."
"It's nothing."
Hikigaya shook his head indifferently: "Although I don't know what happened to you, just, are you satisfied as long as someone apologizes?"
If she just need an apology to end the matter.
Normally speaking.
It shouldn't be considered a big deal.
However.
Nanase Tsubasa's persistence and determination made people feel scared.
Perhaps it's her kind heart that only requires an apology to settle things.
"Eh?"
Nanase Tsubasa was stunned.
She didn't know what to say for a moment.
Let those people apologize to her deceased childhood friend.
Would that satisfy her?
Impossible.
They forced a living person to death, a person who was upright, gentle, and had a promising future, someone Nanase Tsubasa admired the most.
An apology could hardly be satisfying.
However.
This was something that couldn't be helped.
"I... I don't know either."
Nanase Tsubasa said with somewhat dim eyes.
Making Ayanokouji drop out and then letting those people apologize, this was already the limit of what she could do.
"Sigh."
Hikigaya sighed helplessly.
He could probably guess.
Everything Nanase Tsubasa wanted to do was just for her inner peace, perhaps something really unacceptable had happened.
It's hard to judge her if he didn't know anything about her backstory.
Looking at Nanase Tsubasa's somewhat bewildered eyes, Hikigaya hesitated and said,
"Well, how should I put it, although this school isn't that great, it does provide good security for the future, it's better to think clearly before taking action."
"Also."
Hikigaya thought for a moment and said, "If you force people to apologize, even if they will apologize, such an apology is definitely just perfunctory without sincerity, such an apology is meaningless."
Hikigaya could only say so.
As for.
Whether the other party will keep their promise to apologize.
He feels that they probably will.
After all, the culture of apology is a tradition in Japanese, bowing and saying some polite words, for politicians, it's really simple, it's just a piece of cake.
However.
Does this kind of apology make sense?
Hikigaya doesn't think so, but he doesn't know what Nanase Tsubasa thinks.
At least one thing is clear.
There's no benefit for ordinary people like him getting involved with someone with a strong background like Ayanokouji.
If Nanase Tsubasa just wants to seize the opportunity to climb up.
That's not a problem.
In short, everything depends on Nanase Tsubasa's own thoughts.
"It's meaningless..."
Nanase Tsubasa couldn't help but purse her lips.
Yes.
If it's not a sincere apology from the heart, what's the point of an apology?
"If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
Hikigaya glanced at her and then turned to leave.
Although he was a bit worried about Nanase Tsubasa's state of being stuck in a dilemma.
But since she didn't want to talk, he wouldn't ask more, at most he would just provide some advice as a senpai for her reference.
"That..."
Nanase Tsubasa couldn't help but say, "Can we exchange contact information? I might have some things to discuss with you."
"Oh..."
Looking at Nanase Tsubasa's pitiful eyes like a little puppy, Hikigaya nodded helplessly.
"If it's just to discuss something, it's not a problem."
The two exchanged contact information.
Watching Hikigaya's retreating figure, Nanase Tsubasa couldn't help but stay in place, watching him leave.
She had already made up her mind.
Only now did she realize.
How naive her thoughts were.
She hadn't even started to act.
and she just being persuaded by a kind-hearted senpai who didn't know anything about her situation.
Her heart was so shaken.
However.
Is an insincere apology really what she wants, can she be satisfied with that?
Nanase Tsubasa is not very clear.
This matter.
She probably needs to think more seriously about whether or not to take action against Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, and what to do if he turns out to be a good person.
And also.
The most important thing is, what does she really want to do?
To avenge her childhood friend, it doesn't seem to be the case, she can't stand Ayanokouji who is complacent standing on the bodies of others enjoying life.
It doesn't seem right either.
Why does she want to do this?
Hikigaya's figure can no longer be seen in the corridor, but Nanase Tsubasa's eyes are even more confused.
