'I never thought that in this day and age there would still be people who would get their hands stuck in kettl---pfft hahah. You know, I wash kettles every day and never encountered such a thing!'
Lol....
"Ahem... So why did it turn out like this?"
It's pointless to ask why since it's already happened, but even Suzune also feels stupid for getting into this situation, so avoiding topic isn't helping her.
She's a very unique person, and at times like this, just exposing her most embarrassing part will make feel better afterwards.
"…If I say I accidentally slipped while washing the kettle and ended up like this, would you believe me?" Suzune said with a straight face.
Hachiman never dared enough to nod in the opposite area, just nodded dumbly, indicating his belief.
'As a human observer, I came to the conclusion immediately.'
'When she was washing the kettle, she saw that it was about the same size as her hand, and suddenly Horikita remembered what she had seen in the news, where someone's hand was stuck in the kettle and couldn't be lifted up, and she wanted to laugh at those people.'
'Then, she suddenly tried it herself, and ended up looking like she couldn't do it.....Mmmmm. Horikita really would do something stupid if she read too much.'
Hachiman grabbed the front of the kettle and pulled it forward, but Suzune herself came with it.
"…"
It's a bit tight indeed.
"If you can't pull it out by yourself, it means it's stuck very tightly. Have you tried using soapy water?" Hachiman let go of her and tried to give a low whistle.
"I tried it." Suzune said in even a more depressed tone if possible.
That's why her body is a little wet now.
When Hachiman pulled Suzune's kettle, he also brought her over, and inevitably touched her body.
He could indeed feel traces of water on her clothes.
She is a very independent person. She will solve any problem as soon as possible.
Although she called him just a few minutes ago, it also shows that she had been struggling with the kettle stuck in her hand for a period of time.
What a poor child.
"Soapy water should be enough, but since you can put your hand in to laugh at others, it should be possible to pull out as well," Hachiman touched his chin.
"…"
But Horikita Suzune didn't say anything, because that was truth.
Can't be pulled out.
"Poor kid..." Hachiman sighed, but he suddenly said, "But now that your hand is stuck, your fighting ability is very low, right?"
"....what are you up to?" Suzune's eyes were suddenly filled with vigilance.
It was only then she suddenly realized with her left foot injured and her right hand stuck in the kettle, her resistance was actually close to zero.
Now, this is her own single room with good soundproofing, but Hachiman is of the opposite sex.
The real opposite sex.
"No. We are partners, aren't we? Besides, I have no impulse towards you. If I marry you, you will definitely make me work in family store, and I can't stand this!"
"..." Suzune.
She felt this was not an excuse for the other party's safety, but for this person.
Suzune felt that he would definitely consider the future rather than discovering that she was a beautiful girl with weak resistance at the moment.
Hachiman wants to be a house husband, so naturally he doesn't want to inherit her family's store.
Suzune seemed to be somewhat relieved.
Knowing that girl had a strong sense of self-esteem, Hachiman immediately set out to help.
"Since it's impossible to use skills to pull your hand out, then only option is to use violence to destroy it!"
He lifted Suzune's hand and gestured slightly.
"I want to destroy this kettle. Then buy you a new one. At the moment, there is no other solution....we need to sacrifice your kettle for Greater Good of Classroom of the Elite world!"
"...." Suzune just remained silent.
Because she had already tried all feasible options, and in the end she got nothing but the current exhaustion.
Therefore, only option now is to destroy the kettle.
"But do we need to request someone to use a chainsaw or something like that.....?" Suzune recalled the horror movies she had watched when she was a child, in which a scene of using an electric saw to cut a kettle was shown.
However, this required considerable control, otherwise hand would be broken.
Besides, ordinary people would not dare to use an electric saw.
"Or use pliers instead....maybe a screwdriver?"
But mouth of the kettle was now firmly wrapped around her arm, leaving no room for the pliers to be used.
In a dilemma.
"Then let's test soapy water again. I can see that you're a little scared.....And it may be because it's inconvenient for you to use one hand, so you couldn't pull it out properly before?"
Suzune did not refuse.
When she sought help from Hachiman, she thought that if this didn't work, then she would have to ask someone to use a chainsaw, but she was indeed a little reluctant about using such a frightening device.
So she did not refuse, and Hachiman took her towards her bathroom.
But he found that she was jumping all the time, and because one of her hands was tied with a kettle, she had no way of maintaining her balance.
She walked slowly and crookedly.
So, had no choice but to move back to her body and pick her up by the waist.
"Hey!" Suzune was startled. Because no matter what, you would be nervous if a boy suddenly hugged you, right?
"You're walking too slowly!" And Hachiman felt that he was already very familiar with picking up girls.
Profound.
It turns out that strange things like falling in love would never happen to her.... Suzune thought so, gave up resisting and was carried to the bathroom by Hachiman.
She raised her arm with the kettle on, and Hachiman wet her hands first, then applied bubbles, and then began to apply on the skin where her hand and the kettle met.
"Itchy——"
"Patience"
After fully lubricating it, Hachiman poured more water little by little between Suzune and the kettle.
"You have to use more force." When he felt that she was about right, he grabbed Suzune from behind.
This was not to take advantage of her, but because she was worried that she would fall due to inertia when the kettle was pulled out.
She also had an injured foot, so didn't look at all safe.
"Yeah." Suzune didn't refuse.
She was just a very straightforward person, not ignorant, so she knew that Hachiman was protecting her now.
Boom!
Luck did not leave them, and after doing this, Suzune experienced a moment of pain, but her body subconsciously moved backwards, but was completely protected by Hachiman.
"phew!" She breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the kettle was finally pulled out. Sealed right hand regained its freedom.
"Gurgle--" At this time, a strange sound came from the faucet.
"Maybe the water supply is out."
At this time, Hachiman carried her out again and wiped her hands with a bath towel to dry them.
"It seems there is something wrong with what you said....Arm has turned slightly blue, it must not have been put in when you washed the kettle this morning."
"…It happened last night," Suzune said, trying her best to keep a straight face.
Because it is a very shameful thing.
It's so funny, there really are such stupid people.
And she was trapped by a mere kettle for a whole day.
However, Hachiman still considerately pressed her uncomfortable right hand.
"That--" Suzune found that his technique made her feel very comfortable, but she was still a little embarrassed.
"Thank you... this time. It's just... why are you... um... so good to me?"
'Because your current clothes are super transparent, and you keep giving me benefits, what can I do?' Hachiman is desperately fantasizing about marrying Horikita Suzune in the future, and then having her offer him a terrible life as a chef in her family's store to resist the current temptation.
It's probably better not to tell her this.
Hachiman suspected that he would be kicked down by other party's uninjured foot.
"This is what your brother asked for.....Didn't he ask you to study with me before? And now my goal of being promoted to Class A has been achieved, and our Sensei Chabashira has fulfilled her wish. I got the points reward, but you don't want any...."
"So it makes sense to be a little considerate of some of the stupid things you might do, Horikita."
This sentence made Suzune feel deflated, because it meant that she was still useless.
"But how did you think of putting your hand in the kettle?" Hachiman was a little curious.
"I just don't think we can do this," Since this fact has already happened, Horikita Suzune no longer hides it, "But I want to test it..."
"I understand." Hachiman really do, to be honest just expected it from her one day, "It's just like when I saw a sign on a light bulb saying not to put it in your mouth, I just wanted to test it...."
"So actually, seeing you do this, I also want to try it. Like this----" Hachiman took action, but his hand remained suspended in the air above the kettle.
"No, I won't do that...."
When her fingers regained their instinct, Suzune wanted to stand up, but only then did she realize that her body was wet.
'Looking down, it seemed that too much water splashed on me because I was trying to get the kettle out this morning....'
The clothes got wet in an instant.
"…"
"…"
Speaking of which, she suddenly remembered that Hachiman's eyes had not been on her face since the beginning.
She had always thought he was looking at her hands, but now...
