I returned to my seat without saying anything. When I was about to take the first bite of a loaf of bread, music started playing from the speakers.
“Today , at 5 pm at gym number 1 , there will be a club fair . For those of you who are interested in clubs, please go to gym No. 1. I repeat, today~ “
A girl with a cute voice announced through the PA system (public address system)
" Club. . . Hmm"
I have never joined any clubs.
“ Hey , Horitika ”
"I have no interest in clubs .
". . . I haven't asked yet. ”
“ Ok , then what ?”
“ Are you going to join any club ?”
“Ayanokouji-kun. Do you have amnesia? Or are you just an i***t? Didn't I just say I'm not interested in clubs? “
“Just because you're not interested doesn't mean you won't participate. ”
“That is a trivial argument. Stop saying such nonsense again. ”
" Ok ..."
Horitika had no interest in clubbing or making friends. Every time I talk to her, she looks very upset. I wonder if she came to this school because of the education or the high employment rate. If those were her only reasons then it wouldn't be too surprising, but it just doesn't look natural.
“As far as I can see, you really don't have any friends. ”
“That is wrong. Now I can talk to you pretty well. ”
“You say that, but count me as your friend. ” "Hmm~ Yeah, okay ”
“ Since you want to go see the clubs , do you intend to join any clubs ?"
“No, I'm still thinking about it. But probably not.”
“If you're not going to join any club, then why go to the club club? Strange . Or do you intend to use clubs as an excuse to make friends?”
How could this girl be so smart? No, maybe I'm too predictable.
“Because I failed on the first day, the club was my last chance to make friends. ”
“Isn't it good to invite someone other than me? “
” It's because I don't have anyone else to invite that I'm in trouble! ”
“That is correct. However, I don't think Ayanokouji-kun is serious about what you say. If you really want a friend, you have to talk more seriously. “
“Because it's impossible for me, I walk the lonely path.”
Horitika quietly continued to eat her sandwich.
“I really don't understand that contradictory way of thinking. “
I want to have friends, but I can't make friends. Looks like Horitika couldn't understand that.
“Have you ever joined a club? "
" Are not . I don't have any club experience. “
"So you have experience in matters outside the club? Oh, or are you talking about some kind of experience?"
"…What are you trying to say? I can feel the malice behind your words."
“Malicious? I didn't even say what I was referring to."
I got a jolt in the ribs. I immediately coughed reflexively at her sudden strength.
“Hey, what's with that owl!? ”
“Ayanokouji-kun. I warned you already, but it seems you didn't give up on what I said. Remember, I have the ability to deal more pain than the one I just did.“
"No violence! Violence doesn't solve anything!?"
" Really !? From the very beginning, violence has existed because it is the most effective way to solve problems. It's the fastest way to get your point across or to ignore the wishes of others. After all, even countries use police and violence to arrest people, right?"
“You really talk a lot. "
She 'gave' me a big speech , asserting that she had done nothing wrong . Every time she makes a comment, she will say ridiculous things and use it to quickly retort.
“From now on, I will use violence to correct your wrongs. You OK ? “
"How would you feel if I said the same thing to you? “
"I wonder why they call the men who beat up women the lowest and the most cowardly. ”
“It doesn't matter, because don't you think that will never happen? After all, I never said things I shouldn't have said. "
The answer just now was really surprising. This girl seems confident that the barn herself is never wrong.
