...
Hashimoto went to his room just to report the situation instead of showing a nervous expression.
It means that the special examination belonging to this month has not started yet.
So they can enjoy the facilities of the ship, which makes people feel a little comfortable.
but.
For others, it was three days since they had seen him.
So what information will appear on the mobile phone?
Oreki turned on his phone and saw only some messages from his classmates.
Then there is also one belonging to Katsuragi-san.
Katsuragi-san's message was sent at noon.
It seems that something has been discovered.
He hopes to discuss it with him.
Then there were two messages, which were standard greetings from Kushida-san's friends and invitations to play.
1. Sakura-san found that the sunrise was beautiful and suitable for the background.
So she asked him if he wanted to take a picture, and she brought out the high-definition camera she bought at school.
2. Invitations from Karuizawa-san.
But there is no information about Horikita-san.
wrong.
In fact, she sent one over.
It was at 10 o'clock in the morning.
However, the content of the message only has an exclamation point.
He doesn't know if she was in a complicated mood and condensed all the words into this, or if she simply said it wrong.
But this is how he gets along with Horikita-san.
If you have something to do, let's meet up.
If nothing happens, it's okay not to see each other or contact each other for a few days.
Who would have thought that in the future, he would marry Horikita-san, and Horikita-san would become a lawyer?
And then there are a pair of daughters.
Probably because he just finished his precognitive dream, Oreki-san is already confused about his future development.
but.
What can be confirmed is...
The effects of dreaming are powerful.
He had dreamed about Horikita-san in ordinary dreams before, and then he would pay more attention to Horikita-san.
After gaining experience from Kushida-san's side, he will be able to resist.
So he won't dream about Horikita-san again for a while.
But now in his precognitive dream... He dreamed about it again, and it was confirmed.
Therefore, he instinctively became a little concerned about Horikita-san.
He needs to confirm the situation of Horikita-san who doesn't get along well with others.
then.
He ignored Kushida-san's messages and invitations from other classmates.
After telling Karuizawa alone that he would find her again later, he opened the door and came outside the cabin for the first time.
The sea air swept over the cabin.
Oreki-san walked to the deck.
He was immediately covered by the brilliance of the setting sun.
...
The luxury liner [Hedgehog Cat] is well-equipped and quite grand.
In addition to the equipment on the ship, the staff on the ship are also fully equipped.
All equipped.
Generally speaking, when arriving in a new place, Oreki might explore the surroundings.
However, let's go meet Horikita Suzune first.
"Where are you now?"
He sent the message ten minutes ago, and it took about five or six minutes for a reply.
So the two agreed to meet on the deck.
The school has paid to charter the entire luxury liner, so all services on the liner are free.
but.
"240,000 a month?" Oreki just paid 5,000 points and got the information from a waiter.
It was just like when he applied to Mr. Mashima for spending 100,000 points and then got a separate room.
Points can still be used on the ship.
Then the result is the opposite.
The school did not pay tens of millions of points to charter the luxury liner, but the luxury liner originally belonged to the school.
In addition to being specially used by students for exams, they are rented out to earn income when they are free.
So these waiters and staff work all year round.
Look at it this way.
The financial resources of ANHS are indeed quite impressive.
"This is at Chairman Sakayanagi's expense." the waiter said. "It's just that the school's funds cannot allow us to use the luxury liner properly——"
"So this ship is actually Chairman Sakayanagi's family ship."
oh.
Then the Sakayanagi family is indeed a bit awesome.
So, will he really have a daughter with a little princess from such a family in the future?
So does that count as being taken care of for free?
"…" Oreki.
So, he still had that dream in his mind.
"You don't seem to be in good condition." At this time, a cold voice came over.
Oreki-san is sitting at the bar next to the deck.
A dark-haired beauty wearing a red sportswear appeared on the right side.
She is quite beautiful.
Her eyes were still cold and stern, but her cheeks seemed a little rosy.
Feeling a little weak.
There is a contrast with her usual aloofness and indifference, which makes people feel... unexpectedly heart-warming.
This is Horikita Suzune.
"You're not in a good state." Oreki-san put his eyes on her for a moment, then quickly looked back.
He feels... at ease.
Because of the way Horikita looks now, although she looks a little weak.
But this is contrasting cuteness.
It can increase her charm several times.
Considering the precognitive dream he had this time, he was worried that he would not be able to look at Horikita-san.
but now...
He won't waver.
so.
He thinks that Horikita-san is still Horikita-san.
It's just that it feels incredible.
Why would Horikita-san like him after ten years?
Oreki-san was a little curious.
after all.
You know your own things.
He often saw Sakayanagi Arisu being shaken.
So why.
"By the way, do you think lolicons are terrible people?" Oreki-san asked.
"Lolicon? What is that?" Horikita Suzune didn't seem to understand.
Oh.
She usually doesn't read extracurricular books. She thinks of extracurricular books as those similar to extracurricular exercises.
and.
The ship was also equipped with a small library.
In other words.
She may have been reading just books these days.
The evidence is in the profile of her face, where the hair on the bangs is a little upturned, and this kind of posture can only be found when lying on the table with a book on it.
"A friend of mine likes girls who are not tall," Oreki said. "But many people think it is wrong."
"So are guys who like this type of girls a pervert?"
"Oh." Horikita-san's tone seemed to have become calmer.
She is completely uninterested in romance-related topics.
"I don't think there's any problem."
"After all, it's not that girl's fault that she doesn't grow taller."
"And since this kind of girl who is not tall appears, it is natural that she may fall in love with others."
"So if you like girls who are not tall, there is no problem."
"Don't worry, you're not a pervert."
And this answer seems quite satisfactory.
but.
"Why do you think I am this kind of person?" Oreki was a little surprised.
"I share a room with Kushida and Sakura," Horikita Suzune said matter-of-factly.
"So even though she was annoying, Kushida was always in the room.
Then I overheard her chatting with her friends.
It seems that as long as someone consults you and starts as 'my friend', then this friend must be themselves. "
I see.
Not only did Kushida-san not get close to Horikita, but she actually gave Horikita Suzune a little more experience.
I wonder if Kushida-san will be furious when she finds out.
And since this week's portion has already been taken, it will only be after 2 days before he can take it again.
So Oreki-san doesn't want to spend time contacting Kushida-san.
Oreki-san couldn't help thinking.
So Oreki sat at the bar.
While Horikita Suzune was talking to him, she also sat down.
Her profile can be seen in this position.
Her cheeks were still rosy.
It seemed that he was right.
She's probably sick.
Not only can he tell by looking at her face, but her actions also show it.
When the bartender asked her what she wanted to drink, she chose a glass of warm water.
Although Horikita Suzune is really the kind of frugal and easy-going person.
But consumption on board is free.
So there is a high probability that she will choose other drinks.
And those who choose warm water...are not trying to maintain health, but they are considering physical discomfort.
so.
Drink more hot water.
And this also explains that Horikita-san felt unwell when she woke up in the morning, so she sent him a message.
But she felt that her physique was very good and maybe it would be over after one day, so she didn't continue to send messages.
Oreki feels that he understands Horikita-san quite well.
And even though he is not attracted to Horikita-san, the relationship between the two of them is as safe as ever.
However, it was not in line with his character to do nothing after already deducing that she was unwell.
He didn't like trouble, but if he could keep things simple he would still do it.
And the exam hasn't started yet. If Horikita Suzune's symptoms don't get better during the exam, and she even feels sorry for it or is unable to complete the task, it will become troublesome.
Therefore, it would be a straightforward solution to postpone the disease and let her survive the exam with a healthy body.
but.
"When did you feel uncomfortable specifically?" Oreki asked.
The superpower he just acquired - the ability to recover.
When used biologically, cures can only push symptoms back to one day.
So if you feel unwell on the first day on board the ship, there is nothing you can do.
"You discovered it." Horikita Suzune seemed to have given up resistance.
"When I woke up this morning, my body felt sore in my limbs and my throat also hurt."
"According to my experience, it may be that I blew the air conditioner all night last night and then caught a cold."
"Oh." Oreki nodded.
It seems that it is still within the statute of limitations.
but.
"Are you too tired recently?" Oreki said. "For example, reading a book or something."
"..." Horikita Suzune seemed to fall silent.
"Your score is higher than mine. Even if I don't control the score, I can't get your score."
"But I didn't see you studying at all."
"So I came to the ship and worked a little harder."
So this is his fault.
He underestimated Horikita-san's desire to win in his studies.
However, since she only noticed the symptoms in the morning.
Then he should be able to use his superpowers.
"Hold my hand," Oreki said.
"Why?"
Horikita Suzune seemed to be a little resistant.
right.
Although she looked straight, she didn't understand.
When Kushida took out the trash, she revealed that she could actually tell that Kushida was using a honey trap on her.
And now being suddenly asked to hold hands or something... As a girl, she needs to be vigilant.
"Kushida-san has been getting closer to me recently, and I'm not sure if I've been shaken yet," Oreki-san said.
In other words, does he want to shake hands with her to see if he has turned into a scumbag who is obsessed with girls?
"Oh."
Probably because he was talking about annoying people, Horikita-san didn't refuse.
So the two held hands together.
This was really a wonderful touch. Although he had a closer relationship with Kushida-san, he had not yet held hands.
According to Kushida.
[Holding hands? ]
[Are you kidding me? Are you really going to fall in love with me? ]
[I do not want it. ]
Therefore, holding hands is not possible, but pressing fingerprints is.
At that time, Oreki-san was thinking about his strange relationship with Kushida-san.
But now he is actually holding hands with a girl.
Horikita Suzune is a top-notch beautiful girl, and the temperature of her hand is higher than his, probably because of a cold.
It feels warm when you hold it.
But are girls' hands actually that small?
Oreki discovered that he had gained a new experience.
"Use your resilience/restoration ability?"
Oreki called up the system.
"yes!"
Resilience.
With the completion of this action, Horikita Suzune's weakness suddenly disappeared.
The cheeks returned to their normal color.
But at the same time, the eyes also become more alert.
Oreki let go of Horikita's hand at the right time.
"…" Horikita.
