library.
"Beep!"
"student card!"
After swiping his student ID card, Oreki passed through the passage easily.
but.
When he wanted to go to the free computer to search the catalog of books, he found a person staring at him.
It was a beautiful girl with straight silver hair, her facial features were very soft, and her silver hair was like a waterfall.
She was wearing the usual girls' uniform in school.
Incredible, they are paired with gray stockings.
Oreki-san often sees Horikita-san wearing black stockings, and he also sees Sakayanagi-san sitting next to him wearing white stockings.
As a result, this was the first time he saw a girl manage gray silk stockings quite beautifully.
By the way, are there more such beautiful girls in this school?
However, he always felt that it was impolite to look at people like this, so Oreki-san just glanced at the other person and then looked away.
But he also found that... the other party seemed to be looking directly at him.
"Do you know me?" Oreki asked.
"I don't know you," the other party said. "I just think you're handsome, with beautiful dark green eyes."
oh.
His looks are good.
By the way, can these words be said so directly?
Oreki discovered that he was indeed not good at interacting with girls.
But this girl is very polite.
"If you want to search the books, then please."
"I just want to see some literature in the school." The girl with long silver hair said. "I can continue later."
Oreki-san nodded at the other party.
Then I searched for two words on the search bar of the library displayed on the computer.
[fingerprint]
"Fingerprints?"
The silver-haired girl seemed to be chatting.
Then she seemed a little curious.
"Someone before you also conducted the same search just now." The girl with long silver hair said. "But she searched for clothes + fingerprints."
"Because I care about it very much, I especially remembered it." The girl with long silver hair said.
"..." Oreki-san.
Someone who will specifically search for this kind of thing or fingerprints on clothes and the like.
So, this person must be Kuro Kushida.
"I asked a friend to come over to borrow books, but she hasn't come back yet, so I came here myself."
"She has short blond hair, is quite cute, and has an angelic smile." Oreki-san described it.
"Yeah." The silver-haired girl nodded. "It's Kushida-san~"
It seems she knows Kushida.
And Oreki stared at the search history displayed on the computer.
[clothing]
[fingerprint]
words between.
It seems that Kushida-san...has also reacted.
It would be best if you understood how unreliable it is to leave fingerprints on her clothes or her fingerprints.
Of course, it may be that she has been wearing the same uniform all the time and her mentality is a little numb.
And now, since she also noticed this, it was just right.
No need to spend more time communicating.
...
The fourth floor of the library.
The library has a total of five floors, and students usually only stay on the second or third floor when studying.
And Kushida Kikyo went up to the fourth floor.
There are 19 fingerprint-related books retrieved from the free computers in the lobby on the first floor.
And now.
J4568...
She was looking for the copied book number.
Then.
"found it!"
Her left hand was raised, and the book was on the top shelf.
She is a cute type of girl.
But she's not too tall, so she can't reach the book even if she stands on her tiptoes. It seems a little difficult.
But this time.
The book numbered J4568 was moved, no, it was held by someone.
Then the person seemed to hand the book directly to her.
"Ah, thank you~"
Kushida-san immediately showed a cute smile.
However, when she turned around, she froze.
Because he was not an ordinary tall boy who appeared in front of her. On the contrary, this boy's appearance was quite outstanding.
He has short, slightly fluffy black hair and dark green, clear pupils.
"It seems that we have the same idea." The boy with an outstanding appearance said. "Now, can we talk in another place?"
"When you were searching for fingerprints just now, someone saw you. After all, searching for fingerprints makes people care a lot."
"I came here through her given directions," Oreki-san said.
"..." Kushida.
Little Kushida instantly felt that she had made a mistake.
...
then.
They changed venues.
The location is a dormitory.
It's just a girls' dormitory.
The dormitories for first-year girl students are all on the same floor, while the dormitories for Oreki and the other boys are on the 1st to 3rd floors.
For girls, this is floors 4-7.
Kushida-san is in 606.
It should be said that this number is quite good and makes people feel very lucky.
But for Kushida-san——this is not a good thing.
After coming out of the library, the two separated and then reunited again after 10 minutes.
Oreki-san took a look at the layout of Kushida's room.
The structure of the dormitory was the same as his, but the girls seemed to have decorated the room more.
For example, they would put up wallpaper that they like, and then decorate the room to look like, ah, this is like a girls' dormitory.
Kushida's room has some cute decorations.
For example, there is a brown bear on her bed.
He also noticed that there were several pairs of girls' slippers used by guests at the entrance.
In other words, Kushida-san actually invites other girls into the dormitory.
She is a very good and adaptable person in communication.
but.
It would be nice if such a lovely person didn't stare at people with an indifferent and cold look.
"Then let's get started," Oreki-san said. "If you looked for books on fingerprints, you should have realized that leaving fingerprints on clothes is very unreliable."
"One can only detect fingerprints on smooth surfaces."
"At the same time, the gaps between the fibers woven into school uniforms are even close to the gaps between fingerprints."
"So, Kushida-san, I'm here to inform you that it's impossible for me to leave fingerprints on your clothes," Oreki-san said.
"Then how do you want to deal with it?" Kushida-san said in the black Kushida state. "Or what are your requirements?"
It seemed that after being exposed, she gave up on the plan of fingerprints and wanted to make another compromise.
but.
"Don't think about anything too extreme."
Oreki-san said. "Don't even think about recording something negative about me."
Then.
Oreki-san opened the address book and opened Kushida's phone number.
soon.
The first thing that appeared was a beep indicating that the recording was interrupted due to an incoming call.
This proves that Kushida just tried recording.
In other words, if you feel that your fingerprints are cold, what should you do to remedy them?
It seemed that as the days passed, her wisdom became a little more stable.
"So, you came to me specifically. What unreasonable request do you want to make?" Kushida Kikyo said in a colder tone.
"It seems you understand quite well," Oreki said. "Actually, I'm not an excessive person."
"Oh." Kushida listened first.
"I just want to press the fingerprint again," Oreki-san said honestly.
"How can it be!"
Kushida said immediately. "I was already ashamed before and I won't do it again."
In fact, this can be regarded as protecting herself.
Let Oreki not put forward more extreme conditions.
but.
"But you made me understand my weakness. I'm not good at dealing with girls." Oreki-san said.
So you have to use her to adapt to girls?
A good-looking boy would actually say such shameless words with such a straight face.
And it was her who made him understand, so it was her fault!?
but.
"It can't be done, no. I don't want to do it." Kushida immediately refused.
Although there was a risk, Kushida felt that even if there were no restrictions on each other, Oreki Houtarou would probably not tell them.
Because Kushida didn't see disgust in his eyes, which meant that he didn't actually hate her current true state.
Realizing this made Kushida feel very strange.
"Then you should always live in the mood that your true identity may be exposed." Oreki-san said without mercy, "You have to know that your search for fingerprints just now has attracted the attention of others."
"What if people follow you or pay more attention to you out of curiosity?"
"So then it won't be me, but many people who will know about you."
"Suddenly being entangled in so many troubles, you can't release the pressure in your heart."
"So, the probability of being discovered by kicking the railing again is as high as 70%." Oreki analyzed.
"..." Kushida.
Shit.
So she should have waited until Shiina-san finished using the computer before searching.
As a result, it has now become...her trouble.
And that's true.
She wants to be everyone's friend and have good memories.
But if everyone discovers her true appearance... She's afraid she will have to——
"..."
Kushida then closed her eyes.
She seemed to have accepted her fate.
And Oreki made a request.
"Seven times a week, okay?"
Judging from the situation of pressing a fingerprint and then having dreams and random thoughts for four consecutive nights, he didn't think that one time could improve his girl's resistance.
There are seven days in a week, and he can utilize 10-20 minutes to adapt every day.
but.
"Impossible!" Kushida immediately refused. If he pressed his fingerprints every day, she would be ashamed to death.
"Once a week at most," she said.
Once a week.
In fact, Oreki thought about seven times a week, and depending on his own efficiency, the week might be the end of it.
But once a week, Kushida-san hasn't added a deadline yet, so it seems that it can give more preparation time.
"Okay." Oreki-san agreed.
"So--"
Oreki-san seemed a little embarrassed.
And this look was a sign that Kushida knew, the moment that he was not good at getting along with girls.
So, the two of them sat down next to Kushida-san's bed.
but.
"Then..." Kushida-san put one hand on her chest. "Oreki-kun, do you want to know my past?"
"About the reason why I've always wanted to get in touch with Horikita Suzune."
Kushida suddenly lifted her black Kushida state and became pitiful again.
but.
"I don't want to." Oreki-san quickly refused. "It would be very troublesome if I knew."
"I just want you to improve my weaknesses, instead of helping you deal with troublesome things or getting entangled in your troublesome things."
"..." Kushida.
In other words, bastard, do you just want to touch my body and not care about my heart at all?
Unfortunately, she felt a lot of pressure inside and kicked the railing for it to be sealed. However, if she wrote a diary, some friends who would come to her dormitory might discover it.
Although you can buy a small cabinet with a lock to lock the diary.
But after all, it is a genuine text, so there is a risk of being discovered.
So this kind of thing... is still not a good plan.
But when asked to give up her current lifestyle, she refused.
so.
With such a price to pay, she thought she might be able to take advantage of Houtaro Oreki.
So occasionally she can find this guy who knows her true side to express some of her inner feelings, and then reduce the pressure.
In this way, she can barely get something back.
But the result?
She was instantly rejected by the other party without any hesitation.
He also regarded her as a troublesome existence.
So, with Kushida-san's indifferent eyes as if looking at a scumbag, Oreki-san left her dormitory ten minutes later.
