Volume 1 Chapter 7 part8 (1/2)
I couldn't seeot up and exited my room
In the lobby, I bought so machine and went back to the elevator
”Hmm?”
The elevator was on the 7th floor Feeling curious, I looked at the CCTV monitor of the inside of the elevator It was Horikita in her school uniform
”… Well, there's no need to hide myself, but…”
I didn't want to particularly face her, so I hidmachine The elevator reached the first floor
While being wary of her surroundings, Horikita exited the building After she disappeared into the dark, I chased after her
However, I involuntarily hidthe corner
Horikita stopped ure
”Suzune I didn't think you'd follow me all the way here”
Did she leave at this hour to meet with a boy?
”Mou, I'm different from the useless me that you know I've come here to catch up to you”
”Catch up to me, huh”
Nii-san? I couldn't see the person she was talking to, but it looks like it's Horikita's older brother
”I heard that you are in class D; it doesn't seeed in the last 3 years Because you've always been looking at my back, you've never been able to see your own flaws Choosing to come to this school was another one of your mistakes”
”That's—that's wrong I' to rise up to class A And then—”
”That's impossible You'll never reach class A Rather, your class will crumble before that This school isn't as easy as you think it is”
”I will absolutely, absolutely reach class A…”
”I already said it's ier sister”
Horikita's older brother takes a step forward Fro spot, I could see his form more clearly
It was the student council president
There was no e at an existence that didn't interest him at all
He grabbed his younger sister's wrist and pushed her against the wall
”No er sister If people start to learn about you, it is raced Leave this school immediately”
”N-no… tsu I will, I will absolutely rise up to class A…!”
”Foolish, really Do you want to relive the painful experiences of the past?”
”Nii-san—I will—”
”You have neither the power nor the qualifications to aim for class A Understand that”
Horikita's body dreard, as if he was about to take action The situation looks dangerous
Resigning er, I stepped out from my corner and approached the older brother
Before I realized, I grabbed his right arm
”—What? Who are you?”
Looking at his own arlint in his eyes
”A-ayanokouji-kun!?”
”You, you were trying to throw her to the ground, right? It's concrete here, you know Just because you're siblings doesn'tyou want”
”It's not admirable to eavesdrop”
”Just let go of her hand”
”That's what I should be saying”
It was silent while we glared at each other
”Stop, Ayanokouji-kun…”
She said with a strained voice I've never seen her like that before
Reluctantly, I let go of his arm At that moment, he for my face with a quick backhand
Feeling danger, I instinctively leaned backwards A nasty attack with a thin body Furthermore, he aimed for my vitals with a sharp kick
(insert illust)
”Ha!”
I understood that it had power to make me lose consciousness in one hit With a confused look, he let out a breath and extended his right arm towards me
If I grabbed his hand, he would probably throw round Instead, I slapped his arm aith left hand
”Good reflexes I didn't think you would avoid every single one You also understood what I was trying to do Were you taught in some way?”
Finally stopping his attacks, he asked me a question
”Yea, I did piano and calligraphy In eleot the championshi+p in a music competition”
”Are you also class D? What a unique boy Suzune”
Letting go of her arm, he slowly faced me
”Suzune, you have a friend? I'm honestly surprised”
”He's… he's not my friend He's only a classmate”
Denying his words, she looked up to her brother
”As always, you'resolitude with isolation And you, Ayanokouji With you, it looks like things are going to beco”
Walking past ht The confident student council president It seee because she met her brother
”I' to crawl my way to class A even if I die That's the only way”
After he left, the night was engulfed in silence Horikita sat down against the wall, her head hanging in sha unnecessary As I turned to return to the dorms, Horikita called out to me
”Did you hear everything…? Or was it coincidence?”
”No, it was like 50 luck I saw you while I went to go buy juice fro machine I followed you simply because I was curious However, I really didn't mean to intrude”
Horikita sank into silence once again
”Your older brother is quite strong He didn't hesitate to attack”
”He's… 5th dan in karate and 4th dan in aikido”[1]
Oho, so he's that strong If I didn't pull back it would've been a disaster
”Ayanokouji-kun, you also do soht? You're also a rank holder”
”I already said it, didn't I? I played piano and performed tea ceremonies”
”You said calligraphy before”
”… I also did calligraphy”
”You purposely got low scores on your test, and you say you did piano and calligraphy I still don't understand you very well”
”Getting those scores were only a coincidence, and I really did piano, tea cereraphy”
If there was a piano here, I could play Fur Elise at least
”I let you see a strange side of me”
”Rather, I always thought that you were a norirl—not”
She scowled at me
”Let's go back If anyone sees us here, there will surely be a ”
Certainly There would absolutely be strange ruirl and a boy all by theht
