The matter about Horikita was obviously not something that could be explained quickly, so Kanda Shuichi had to invite Ayanokouji Kiyotaka into his room.
"Ayanokouji, do you want to have dinner together?"
"Then, I won't be polite."
You could be a little polite.
Dinner was braised pork and braised eggs, then stir-fried eggs with green peppers, along with rice, ensuring enough intake of protein and carbohydrates, and also supplementing some essential vitamins.
"Kanda, do you like Chinese food? The dishes you made are delicious." During dinner, Ayanokouji suddenly brought up this topic.
"Huh? Is this Chinese food?"
Damn, you've eaten so many times and still don't know this is Chinese food?
Compared to Miyake Akito, Kanda Shuichi was obviously more speechless, so you only remember eating, huh?
"Akito, are you really Japanese?"
Seeing Kanda and Miyake interact, Ayanokouji thought: It's nice to have friends who can call each other by name. I wish I could join them.
After eating, Miyake was sent to wash the dishes by Kanda Shuichi, while Kanda Shuichi sat on the tatami with Ayanokouji Kiyotaka to discuss matters about Horikita.
"So, what exactly do you want to talk about regarding Horikita?"
"She asked me to bring Sudou to the study group she formed."
"Oh, good luck with that."
"You think it's impossible too, right? I'm not that close with Sudou, and if he wants to join a study group, why wouldn't he join Hirata's paid study group instead of Horikita's?"
"Wait!" Kanda Shuichi suddenly looked alert, "You don't want me to recruit Sudou, do you? No way, absolutely not! What if he suddenly gets violent? Are you trying to get me killed? You have bad intentions!"
Before Ayanokouji could finish speaking, Kanda Shuichi firmly refused.
"Uh, actually, I've already asked Kushida, and she's invited him."
"Then why are you looking for me? You don't want me to join the study group, do you? My grades are fine." Kanda Shuichi waved his hand, indicating there was no need to worry about him.
"Uh, but Horikita is worried about your social studies grades, so she specifically asked me to call you." Ayanokouji scratched his head.
"No way, she wouldn't worry about me. Stop joking." Kanda Shuichi sneered, "Besides, I have club activities tomorrow, so I can't go to the study group."
"Didn't you tell the senior that you wouldn't be attending club activities for the next two weeks?"
No way! Akito, you jerk, how can you expose me like that in front of everyone?
And facing Horikita's stern face, Kanda would rather face Kamuro's stern face.
Speaking of which, he hadn't contacted Kamuro in a long time and wondered if she missed him.
"Anyway, I'm not going to Horikita's study group." Kanda Shuichi took the ice cream he bought earlier, "I'm going to the library to read tomorrow, I've already made plans with someone."
With that said, Ayanokouji had no choice but to give up.
Horikita, I've tried my best, but he won't agree, so there's nothing I can do.
After Ayanokouji left, Miyake sat down opposite Kanda Shuichi.
"Isn't it okay? Your social studies grades are pretty weak, right?"
I can't answer that question, I can't tell you I've been cheating and memorized all the textbooks.
"It's fine, I think I'll at least pass."
"As long as you know what you're doing, I'll head out now."
"Bye."
...
The next day, just as he said, Kanda Shuichi went to the library, even though no one had made plans with him. He brought the new book he bought yesterday, "Hyouka."
Worried that he wouldn't be able to stop reading and would end up staying up all night, he hadn't opened a single page and waited until this morning.
Maybe that's the charm of detective novels.
Turning a corner, Kanda Shuichi arrived at his usual spot and immediately noticed someone was already sitting there, someone he wasn't very familiar with.
Warning, high energy ahead, please be careful!
"Stop right there!"
As Kanda turned to leave, Kamuro Masumi spoke up.
"Kanda Shuichi, wait!"
But Kanda Shuichi pretended not to hear and walked quickly ahead. However, Kamuro stood up and walked towards him as soon as he turned.
Seeing that he was about to be caught, Kanda Shuichi felt a desperate cry inside. Ah, damn library, why don't they let people run?
No, if he could run, he would probably be caught even faster.
Sure enough, before Kanda Shuichi could take two steps, Kamuro Masumi rushed in front of him.
"Why did you pretend not to see me?"
"Actually, I've been a bit nearsighted lately."
"But I called you, and you walked even faster?"
"Because I remembered something important."
Why is she here? Isn't she always with Sakayanagi?
And this place is so secluded, even the cameras can't see what's happening here. Why did I run into her here?
Is she here to block me on purpose?
"Stop talking nonsense, sit down."
Damn, how humiliating! When will Kanda Shuichi be able to stand up? At least avoid sitting next to her, or it'll be easier for her to pull something.
After sitting obediently across from Kamuro, Kanda looked around.
"Where's your master?"
...
"You really can't say anything nice." Kamuro looked a bit annoyed. "Isn't he here?"
Here?
Kanda Shuichi looked around again, even bent down to look under the table, but still didn't see anyone.
But from this angle, he could see some different scenery.
So where is that guy...
Wait?
Is she talking about me?
Looking up at Kamuro reading her book, Kanda Shuichi's heart skipped a beat.
So cute, super cute!
What's with this girl?
How can she have such a cute side?
Are you actually Kushida in disguise?
After a long time, Kanda finally calmed down and saw Kamuro poking her workbook with a pencil, looking frustrated. It seemed she was stuck on a problem.
"Are you a bad student?"
"What bad student? That's too harsh. I'm just not good at studying." Kamuro immediately protested.
Isn't that still a bad student? Is this your last bit of stubbornness?
"Do you want me to teach you? Just call me..."
Do you want to die?
Although Kamuro didn't say it out loud, Kanda Shuichi understood her meaning, and his previously raised mouth flattened.
