Happy Birthday, Houtarou! Sato: That's So Expensive! I Can't Afford to Keep You! (Continued)

And classmate Oreki is checking this new book.

At this time, the phone vibrated.

He received a message. It was still from Karuizawa.

Only this time it's not text, but small illustrations and stickers.

Cute strawberry round cake with several candles.

Below is the supplementary text.

[Although it's a little early, Houtarou, happy birthday]

At this time, Oreki already understood that she specifically asked him if he had any books he wanted in the bookstore, so she probably wanted to ask him what birthday gift he wanted.

Then, after getting the book he wanted, he hurriedly left.

Probably just go to other bookstores to look for it.

Hmm.

And this also shows that Hui also cares about his information and works hard for it.

Think about it.

Oreki student then took off the bag and returned to the dormitory.

23:58 minutes.

"Use Teleportation? Go to High School of Advanced Education?"

Yes!

Oreki classmate returned to the dormitory immediately.

At the same time, there are already information prompts on the mobile phone.

There are two pieces of information.

One is Sakura.

[Ben, I originally wanted to send you a message at 0:00, but I was worried that classmate Oreki would be woken up after falling asleep, so I wish you a happy birthday in advance, classmate Oreki.]

This is a message from Airi Sakura.

This is such a good boy.

Then the other one is Honami Ichinose.

[It's almost impossible to see classmate Oreki in school on weekends. I wish you a happy birthday in advance.] by Honami Ichinose.

It seems that this popular class beauty of Class B also paid attention to the column on Student ID Card where students' birthday information is hidden.

Rather.

Oreki clicked on Ichinose's friend information.

Then.

Honami Ichinose.

Birthday is July 29th.

Ah.

Sure enough.

Ichinose's birthday has passed.

Ichinose was probably congratulated by classmates some time ago, and then I found out that my birthday information was on Student ID Card.

Now that I know this, I will record it.

Then also pay attention to other people to avoid negligence.

Truly worthy of being the Archangel Ichinose.

Just.

Oreki classmate found himself a little curious.

Because.

He and Sakura just have an ordinary relationship. She has helped him and he has assisted her. So, she sent the message here, and Sato did it.

Hmm.

Oreki waited until 0 o'clock, but Sato did not send any message.

So the other party really gave up.

The mood is a little subtle.

On the one hand, I don't have to face the other party, but if the other party really gives up like this... I feel uncomfortable.

And thinking about it.

0:00 on the 9th.

The phone rang.

It's Kikyou Kushida Kikyo.

"Oreki classmate~~I'm sorry for calling you at this time. Anyway, I wish you a happy birthday~"

Today's Kushida's voice is cute and sweet.

"So do you have a birthday present?"

Oreki was not surprised that Kikyou Kushida would call. It would be better to say that she asked him to wait.

And now I am waiting on purpose.

You know, he usually goes to bed at 22 o'clock.

So this is an appointment.

But.

Gifts or something.

"I hate it." She said, but her tone instantly became cold, "How could it be possible?"

"It's just the ordinary care you give [friends] as usual." Kikyou Kushida said. "Or do you want to develop a special relationship with me?"

"Don't think that I like you just because I confess to you, and don't be so easily swayed."

"No matter what we did, it was impossible for us."

Oh.

So, as expected, being forced to confess her feelings bothered her.

So I'm very emotional right now.

But it's impossible to be together, and he doesn't think what she's saying now counts.

After all, in the future, she wants to be a bad woman who steals the man of classmate Horikita.

"Aren't you worried that my evaluation of you will drop?" said classmate Oreki.

"Because you know what kind of person I am, right?" Kikyou Kushida said, "You know me too well, so my evaluation will not be reduced. If I act in front of you, it will still look fake. I'm afraid that will make you feel boring."

Oh.

This is true.

Because I have seen her kicking the railing and scolding Horikita in the worst way.

So no matter how she makes up for it, it's of no use.

She was quite open-minded.

And Kikyou Kushida continued.

"Then I've called you to celebrate."

"And Horikita probably didn't notice this at all. (laughing)"

With that said, she hung up the phone.

It's so direct.

So they crossed their arms and hugged each other for a while. Classmate Oreki thought about it and called Horikita Suzune.

It took about ten seconds for the call to be connected.

"Horikita, what day do you think today is?" asked Oreki.

"How do I know?" Her tone seemed not to be good.

This may be due to waking up, or it may be due to falling asleep and being woken up.

"If there is nothing else, I will hang up." Horikita continued, "My schedule is very regular, and 0 o'clock is already the time to go to bed, and now it has been exceeded."

"If it's not a plan to make money, don't call at this time," she said.

Oh.

"Then you should rest first." Student Oreki said.

Hmm.

Already confirmed.

Classmate Horikita really doesn't understand people's hearts at all. Classmate Oreki understands why classmate Horikita will be the winner in the end ten years later.

Because.

He almost felt that he would marry her if there was a chance in the future.

Then she couldn't sleep every day.

However.

When I got home, my original mobile phone number also vibrated.

He also received a special message from his side.

It was sent by my sister Tomoe.

[Houtarou, happy birthday. Do you find boarding life boring alone? Sister, I got a place, maybe I can go to High School of Advanced Education for internship.]

Oh no.

Please don't.

Oreki classmate woke up unexpectedly that night.

August 11, early morning.

Today is Monday. After a stressful weekend, classmate Oreki returned to school.

However, you also need to pay attention.

Because.

He suddenly remembered that he had used superpowers in High School of Advanced Education and could stay at home.

Pronounce boarding as day study.

But my sister must know that High School of Advanced Education is a closed management company.

Is that why you say boarding is boring?

However, once school is out for summer vacation, it is possible for the college sister to go home.

So what will happen when you see him at home?

Could it be that he is usually a day student, but he has to stay in school during the summer vacation?

Oreki classmate was thinking with a somewhat complicated mood.

With this thought in mind, I opened the door to the dormitory.
