Although this is a difficult school to enter, the opening ceremony here is still the same as other schools. After a thank you speech from a certain principal or another administrator, the ceremony ended. And then noon. After we were explained about all the school buildings and facilities, the group split up. 70, 80 % of the students started going to the dormitory. The rest form small groups and head towards cafes and karaoke rooms. The entire crowd quickly disappeared. 66 On the way to the dormitory, I decided to stop by a convenience store, which is also on the same street. Of course I go alone. I don't know anyone else.
"What a nasty coincidence. “
Once I entered the convenience store, I immediately ran into Horikita again.
“Don't look so hostile. Instead, do you also have something you want to buy? "
“Yes, just a few things. I came to buy some essentials."
Horikita said while checking the shampoo bottle she took from the shelf. Dormitory life starts today , you need more than " a little " ... Girls need a thing too . She quickly put the shampoo bottle and some daily essentials into the basket. I thought she would choose good quality items, but instead she just took the cheapest items possible.
“I thought girls would be more careful with the shampoo they use. ”
“It depends on the type of person too, right? Only the kind of people who don't know where they should spend their money are like that?" She shot me a cold look and said.
“Can you stop looking at other people's things without permission? ”
“Also, I wouldn't have guessed that you stayed in class to introduce yourself. He didn't look like the type to be in that group of classmates.”
"I try to stay in that group quietly because I try to avoid trouble. Why don't you introduce yourself? Just a short hello. You can make friends with other people and have the opportunity to make friends."
At the same time, many students also exchange contacts with each other. If Horitika were to participate, she would probably become popular in the class. It's really a waste.
“I can give you many reasons, but should I give you one simple explanation? Even if I did introduce myself, there's no guarantee that I would be able to make friends with everyone. Instead , I would probably create trouble . If I didn't introduce them, those problems wouldn't happen, would they? “
"But there is still a good chance that you will befriend everyone…”
“Where did you get that probability? I would say that , but then we would argue endlessly if we discuss it , so it's just that the probability of that happening is high . So, can you make friends with people? ”
“Hmm…”
She looked at me while speaking. ... So that is . Unexpectedly, she was right. In fact , I was unable to communicate with anyone . It couldn't be used as proof that there would be a high chance of getting close to others if she had introduced herself. I averted my gaze from Horikita's words.
“In other words, you have no proof that introducing yourself makes friends easier. "
Horikita continued speaking.
“To begin with, I have no intention of making friends. So, I don't need to introduce myself, and I don't need to hear other people introduce themselves. Are you convinced yet? "
It's true that she rejected me the first time I tried to introduce myself. So it's a miracle that I got her name. When I asked if I shouldn't introduce myself, she shook her head. People have different ways of thinking; that cannot be denied. Horitika is a lot more isolated, no, more of the type that distances herself from others more than I thought. We didn't even look at each other while walking around the convenience store. Although her personality is a bit tense, when they're together, they don't feel uncomfortable at all.
“Wow~ . They also have different kinds of instant noodles, this school is so convenient.”
In front of the canned food area, two boys were making noise. After tossing a bunch of cups of instant noodles into the basket, the two of them headed to the cashier counter. They also had plenty of snacks and drinks filling the basket. Since there were quite a few points left, it was only natural for them to try to find a way to spend them.
“Noodles…so they also have a whole area as if it were always low . “
Finding out things like this is also one of my goals when going to the convenience store.
“So guys do like that sort of thing? But I don't think they are good for the body. “
“ Ehhh , I am considering whether to buy it . “
I took a glass of instant noodles and looked at its price.
It says 156 yen, but I'm not sure if it's expensive or cheap compared to an instant glass. Although the school calls it "points", the full price is stated in yen.
“Hey, what do you think about the price of the food here? Do they look cheaper or more expensive? “
” Hmm… I agree, did you find something of a strange value? “
“No, that's not what I meant. I just want to ask."
The prices of the items in the store seem quite reasonable. Also , it seems true that 1 point is worth 1 yen . Assuming the average pocket money of a high school student is 5,000 yen , our monthly allowance is 20 times that . Sensing my suspicious movements, Horitika looked at me strangely.
I took the nearest cup of instant noodles to clear her suspicions.
“Wow, this cup is really big. It's a G size cup! "
It seems to mean 'giga cup', but for some reason just looking at this cup of noodles makes me feel full. On an unrelated note, Horitika's breasts weren't small, but they weren't large either. They are in a perfect size. “Ayanokouji-kun. Did you just think of the wrong thing? “
“ ... No , of course not . “
“But you are acting strange…”
With just one look, she could tell that I was thinking strange things. This girl is really sharp. “I was just thinking about what I should buy now. Which one looks better?"
