Volume 1 Chapter 13 (1/2)
Even though this school is hard, the entrance ceremony is the same here as it is at any other school
After a speech of thanks from some principal or other director, the ceremony ended
And then it was noon After we got an explanation of all the buildings and facilities on caroup split up
70, 80 of the students started heading for the dorroups and walked towards the cafes and the karaoke rooms The whole crowd soon disappeared
On o to the convenience store, which was on the way Of course I was alone I knew no one else
”… What an unpleasant coincidence”
Once I entered the convenience store, I iain
”Don't be so hostile Rather, did you also have stuff to buy?”
”Yea, just a bit I came to buy some necessities”
Horikita talked while exa shampoo that she took from the shelf
Dormitory life starts from today, you need much more than just ”a bit”… Girls also need various products
She quickly put the shaht she would go for good quality items, but she only went for the cheapest one available
”I thought girls paid more attention to what kind of shampoo they used”
”That depends on the type person, no? The type of person ho doesn't knohere they should be spending their money”
She sent aze that said, ”Could you not look at other people's stuff without permission?”
”Also, I didn't expect you to stay in the classroom for self-introductions You don't look like the type of person to be in that group of classmates”
”I'roup quietly precisely because I try to avoid trouble Why didn't you participate in the self-introductions? It's only a short greeting You could get along with the others and get the chance to make friends”
Also, a lot of the students exchanged contact address with each other
If Horikita had participated, she probably would've been popular in the class What a waste
”There are a lot of reasons I could give you, but should I give a siuaranteed that I would get along with everyone Rather, it would've probably created problems instead If I don't do the introduction, none of these probleht?”
”But there's still a high probability that you would get along with everyone…”
”Where'd you get that probability froue over it if we tried to debate that, so let's just say that the probability is high So, did you get along with anyone?”
”Uu…”
She looked at
… I see Surprisingly, she's right
Actually, I was unable to exchange contacts with anybody
It couldn't be used as evidence to prove that there was a high probability of getting along if she did introduce herself I averted aze at Horikita's words
”In other words, you have no proof that self-introductionsfriends easy”
Horikita continued
”To begin with, I never intended to make friends So, there's no need for me to introduce myself, and no need for me to listen to anyone else's introduction Are you convinced now?”
She did reject me the first time I tried to introduce myself…
It otten her name in the first place
When I asked if I shouldn't have introduce h
People have various different ways of thinking; it's impossible to deny that
Horikita is a ht
We didn't even look at each other as andered about in the convenience store
Even though her personality is a bit uptight, it didn't feel uncoether
”Wow~ They even have all the different kinds of cup noodles, this school's really convenient~”
In front of the instant food section, two boys were being noisy After throwing a bunch of cup noodles into their basket, the two of theister They also had lots of snacks and drinks that filled up the whole basket Since there are a lot of points that may be left over, it's only natural that they try to spend it somehow
”Cup noodles… so they had that kind of section too, huh”
Learning this kind of stuff was one ofto the convenience store
”So boys really do like this kind of stuff? I don't think it's really good for the body though”
”Eh, I was just considering if I should buy it”
I picked up a cup noodles bowl and looked at the price
It said it was 156 yen, but I wasn't sure whether that was high or low for a bowl of cup noodles
Even though the school calls it ”points,” the prices are all written in yen
”Hey, what do you think of these prices? Do they look cheap or expensive?”
”H with a strange price?”
”No, that's not what I meant I just wanted to ask”
The prices on the goods in the store seeht
Also, it really does seem like 1 point is equal to 1 yen
Given that the average high school student's allowance is about 5,000 yen, our er
Sensing ely
I took the closest bowl of cup noodles to throw off her suspicions
”Wow, this is really big It's a G cup!”
It looks like it stands for ”giga cup,” but for so at it
On an unrelated note, Horikita's breasts aren't se either They are just the perfect size
”Ayanokouji-kun Did you just think of so inappropriate?”
”… No, of course not”
”You were acting strangely though…”
With just a glance, she was able to tell that I was thinking of strange things She's sharp
”I was thinking about what I should buy Which one looks better?”
”If it's just that, then it's fine You should stop buying those unhealthy foods The school has a lot of better food options, so don't make a habit out it”
As she said, there's no need to stick to instant fast food
However, I had an irrepressible urge to buy a few ular sized instant noodle bowl (it said FOO Yakisoba on it) and put it in my basket
Horikita drew her attention away from the food section and started to look at the necessities section of the store
Now I could finally score so some witty jokes
”Wow, this razor has five blades! Seems like it would shave super cleanly” (T/N not sure what the joke is here, probably some pun I don't understand)
”The hell, ould I shave with that?”
I held the razor blade, feeling proud of my joke, but the reaction was different than I expected I thought she would s
”… You know, there's nothing to shave on my chin or even under my armpits”
That hurt uess my joke doesn't work on females
”I'e to say that to someone you randomly met”
”… You've also been saying shi+t to someone you just met too”
”Really? I was only saying the facts Unlike you”
She returnedsons of saying crude things
Horikita once again chose the cheapest facial cleanser I think girls should pay more attention to themselves
”I think this one looks better, doesn't it?”
I grabbed a facial cleanser that was a bit more expensive and looked creamier
”Not necessary”
I was refused
”No, but───”
”I already said I didn't need it, didn't I?”
“Yea… “
I gently returned the cleanser back on the shelf as she glared at me
I thought I couldher mad, but I failed
”You're not very good at socializing You suck at cos to talk about”
”Even couess it's pretty true”
”Of course I have a pretty good eye for people Normally, I wouldn't want to hear you speak twice, but I will put in the painful effort to listen to you”
For some reason I tried to make friends with her, but my expectations were completely off
With that, our conversation grinded to a halt As two girls entered the store and started shopping, I realized so new
Horikita's really cute
”Hey What are these for?”
As I looked for things to talk about, I saw so unusual
In the corner of the convenience store, I saw individual portions of food and supplies
At first glance, they looked the sa else, but with one major difference
”Free… ?”
Also feeling interested, Horikita picked up one of the items
Daily necessities such as toothbrushes and bandages were put in a bin labeled ”free of charge” The bin also had the words, ”3 items per month” written on it, and it was obvious that these were different frooods
”I wonder if this is eency relief for those who have used up all their points What a surprisingly lenient school”
I wonder if they're only thorough with these kind of services, though
”Hey, just wait a bit! I' for it now!”
