Volume 3 Chapter 5 Part4 (2/2)

“It looks like this Why are you that close?”

Kushi+da opened a difficult topic as well

“We don’t really get along well though”

“You always deny it but, you still get along Even now you’re alalking next to each other”

Even if they say such a thing, I’ it

“Ah Ithat Ayanokoji-kun and Horikitsan have in common”

“What is the common point?

“Well, look at the?”

“What?”

Yamauchi drew near and observed my face centimeter by centimeter Then, after that, he rushed to Horikita and took a closer look to her face Ah, so stupid He got too close

Slap

And so she struck his face in the most dry way It’s just exploded a splendid slap in the face from an ashamed drama actress Yamauchi started to hop up and down in a weird dance, first soundless fro and falling down What is terrible is that Horikita doesn’t even glance to Yamauchi nor she cared about his words

“What, what did you do?”

“You were too close You better remember to keep away from my personal space”

It was so similar to what happened when Ike came out and made a pass at Horikita I think everyone would feel unco face to face, and at a really short distance, with a boy you don’t like to begin with

“Ahahah…SoSorry Yas You okay?”

“You, you’re kind Kushi+da…”

Yamauchi took the hand that Kushi+da held out, and he stood up with a red face Ibuki kept watching the whole story froht surprised face She probably doesn’t see often this kind of stupid exchange in C class

“Wha, What is the common feature that you noticed, Kushi+da?”

“You know? They both laugh very little! I ”

Kushi+da pointed out this unexpectedly, and she was convinced I would accept it obediently Regarding Horikita I saw her s several times like she wanted to fool the other party but that was nothing more than a smile of courtesy

“I’ve never seen Horikita’s sht?”

“I’ve seen your bitter s frohter Or you just didn’t show it to me?”

I glanced to her a little displeased Yes, this time my heart beat fast too My pulse suddenly raced/increased

While we’re still on this desert island, a lovely scent tickled ot embarrassed and I averted my eyes

“It seeenetic The difference between a person who laugh often and a person who doesn’t”

“Uhm…I don’t like this kind of reason Even if it’s true”

Well, that’s not all There’s also the possibility that the environht up, influenced this kind of thing

“Should we try practicing once? How about that? Smile”

“For the ti, let’s start with the center of this area”

Said Horikita

“Eh? Laughing practice?”

“How long do you feel like travelling? We decided already that we need to find food”

Horikita put Kushi+da in her place with a strong tone and a flat refusal And immediately she fired instructions to deploy the people for the search

“Two persons should search without acting alone Beware of that Let’s go Ayanokouji-kun“

Being called, I started walking with Horikita

“… Au…”

Huh? I saw Sakura as following us fro her shoulders

“Let’s find food together Sakura”

Yamauchi, who called behind Sakura’s back, suddenly showedthe chance of only two of us being together

“Take care, Ibuki-san”

Ibuki and Kushi+da who stayed paired up Ibuki is unsocial as well but there shouldn’t be proble with Kushi+da

“Horikita, hoill you handle the custom key card?”

“I check it on the sixth day of the trial, right… I always have it on me”

Saying this, she put her hands in the pocket of her jacket letting ht there

“When I ied by Hiratkun Ibuki and the others aren’t supposed to know”

Well, I wasn’t worriedI had to pay the most attention to I’ll do it well

“Could you show it to me?”

“Huh? Here?”

“It’s rather convenient here It’s too suspicious in the basecamp“

“… That’s true, but ill you do when you see the card?”

I explained the situation to Horikita as giving me suspicious look

“To be honest, I was being silent until now Since I was together with Sakura she can confir some kind of keycard on the first day”

I told Horikita about Katsuragi obtaining the card in front of the cave

“However, I’m not sure if that was really the keycard I haven’t properly seen the thing I wouldn’t joke about the thrown telephone card, right?”

“… Right If you’re absolutely positive, then that’s a huge accomplishment”

Being convinced of the reason, Horikita turned to alert Ibuki and secretly took out the card I received and checked its front and back The back side was the usual netic card, but as Ms Chabashi+ra said the front side was having the proof of the leader The na it with hands, I understood it wasn’t so to be peeled off

“Well? Is it the sai-kun had?”

“No… H it… But it’s of a different color than I remember”

“There’s a possibility that the keycard is of different color depending on the class”

“Indeed But there’s a shortage of material to decide If we make a mistake we can’t recover”

When I tried to return the card, I dropped it froround

“Oh!”

At the same time I let my voice in panic, Horikita immediately reached out her hand to pick it up She put the card in her jacket, but due to the noise we naturally gathered the attention of surroundings

“What happened?”

Kushi+da looked over here a bit worriedly Ibuki as well

“No, it’s nothing There was a bug and I got surprised Yuck”

When I looked at Horikita apologizing, she glared at me terrified

“S-sorry…”

Horikita became extremely furious and took a distance from me

“Did she dump you?”

Ya

“Look, Yamauchi I have to ask for advice so would you lend me your ear?”

“What is it, is the consultation fee for love expensive?”

“This vicinity’s ground is full of ht? I want you to put this mud all over Horikita’s hair Can I ask you that?”

“… Huh? If I do that I’d get killed! I certainly won’t do that!”

Of course, I understood I won’t get an agreement However, this was an act that was too unnatural forlies and doing pranks, I thought he could pull off this stunt

“You know, even if Horikita gets e”

“Maybe if you do it, you’ll get an opportunity to get an email address from Sakura”

“Whaa—- !?”

“How’s that?”

“Huh, Sakura’s email address… Hm I, I’ll do it”

Boy that lives for love quickly decides to die for it This decisiveness is a

“Are you absolutely sure? If you’re lying I won’t do it”

When I gave a sign, Yaathered up a lot of near-by mud with both hands and turned behind Horikita’s back If she had not been ill, she ns, but Horikita couldn’t afford to pay attention to her surroundings now Kushi+da and Ibuki, noticing the bizarre behavior of Ya curiously And then, Yath he covered Horikita’s beautiful black hair in mud with both hands He filled her up all over with both hands He didn’t have to overdo it, but well…

“Ahaha! Horikita, you’re full of mud! Funny!”

Like a youngster, Yaer

As if she couldn’t grasp the situation for a moment, Horikita didn’t ot up and without words grabbed Ya at her

In a moment of confusion Horikita threay Yamauchi
