After that, I leisurely relaxed in my room until the appointed time
When the clock showed five minutes until seven, I left, headed toward Horikita's rooot off the elevator, Ichinose arrived in the elevator beside htly raised
”I'm sorry to intrude”
”Ahaha But I' on upon you here, so it's fine”
After saying so, Ichinose took the lead as ent to Horikita's roo the doorbell We i from the inside
”Please come in”
The plan was toparticularly suspicious about us both arriving at the sa much
I sat down properly on the floor
I've visited Horikita's rooed very much since then Her room was very similar to my own, veryto ht, Ichinose-san”
”But aren't you doing this out of consideration for ize”
The feeling I got fro Ichinose face-to-face so far was that she's the saoes on too late, it'll start to affect things to… To start things off, there have been various worriso around aboutthose ru around the bush, Horikita directly asked Ichinose
I was curious to see whether or not Ichinose would answer the question honestly
”I absolutely can't speak with certainty here, but if I had to guess I'd say it's Sakayanagi-san”
Surpassing ave a clear response to the question
If she was any less than half certain about it, she wouldn't have said any name in specific She isn't the type of person ould speak ill of others without any sort of reason to do so
I was also able to come to a conclusion based on her response
That is, at the very least, Ichinose has been able to see that so the rui-san… What ht be her?”
”To put it siuess it's because she declared war on Class B Do I need to give you any other reason for it?”
Horikita should know that Sakayanagi has an aggressive, warlike personality
Considering the fact that she took the initiative to deepen the conflict in her own class in order to defeat Katsuragi, it's easy to iine that in order to defeat Class B, she would focus her assault on Ichinose, their leader
”No That reason alone is h”
Because Horikita thinks the same way I do, she didn't see any reason to pry any deeper into thatthese absolutely baseless rue?”
”Uh to deny the rumors?”
”Sorry, Horikitsan I' about that Horikitsan and Ayanokouji-kun are friends, but you're still students from another class We ht now, but sooner or later, we're destined to fight against each other”
Ichinose see Horikita asked, but she ended up refusing to answer this tiuess that was the natural choice tohere, but you do know that silence can be interpreted as though you're saying the ruht?”
”That's at the liberty of Horikitsan and everyone else to decide after hearing the rumors for the this i-san's strategy is to stir up Class B, I think the correct solution for dealing with it is to simply stay silent”
Ichinose showed us a smile, her conduct as natural as always
The harass special It was a typical type of bullying that happens everywhere, and there was no perfect solution to it You can aggressively deny the rumors, or you can siallery will aps as they see fit Due to this, Ichinoseand wait for tiht to meet with Horikitsan today and tell you this so that you'd avoid carelessly getting involved If I continue to stay silent, yet the people arounder to settle down Most iet involved with Sakayanagi-san in order to help me out I'll be fine”
Ichinose nodded fired
”…I understand that your will is strong Anyone who gets caught up in such despicable ruardless of whether they're true or not Nevertheless, you're not just thinking of yourself, but everyone around you as well”
”I a a little embarrassed, Ichinose continued
”So, Horikitsan and the rest of Class C can continue doing things as usual I will clean upthis, Ichinose stood up
It seems that she chose to come over today just to let Horikita know not to interfere any further
”Do you know about what's been going on with Kanzaki and the others?”
Despite thinking it ht be unnecessary, I decided to interfere a little bit
”Kanzaki-kun?”
”A few days ago, he confronted Hashi+ the ru earnestly”
”I see… Kanzaki-kun is very gentle I told hi more to him”
”It's probably not just Kanzaki-kun A nu to find soh this should've been the first time Horikita had heard of the situation with Kanzaki, her speculation should be accurate
”Then I'll just have to go speak with ain If you don't mind, could we stop our conversation here?”
”Are you really okay with this?”
Just to be sure, Horikita asked Ichinose a final time
”Of course”
Ichinose answered without hesitation
”Thank you for your concern And to Ayanokouji-kun as well, thank you for coht”
”No I si”
Horikita didn't stop her froht and left the roo we need to do”
”Well, it's hard to say”
Based off Ichinose's behavior, it doesn't look like she's any different than usual
