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

Lift your hand.

Then.

Hmm.

Still can't get it.

She is not tall enough, which is why she has always been depressed.

So I had to find a tripod.

The tripod is upstairs.

So I have to move here.

Hiyori tested it again, and sure enough, she still couldn't reach it even if she stood on tiptoes, but she had just tested it, and at the same time, she was not doing it for this purpose now.

Because she is not stupid, she just passed through the gap between the books on the bookshelf and found someone walking towards her.

And the uniform is a boy's short-sleeved shirt and a beautiful tie.

That is to say.

Yeah.

She acts like she's working hard to attract the other person's attention, and then maybe the other person is a good person and will help.

Sure enough.

The other party came over, she was very tall, and she raised her hand and got the book she wanted.

"Do you want this one?" Student Oreki took down two identical books and gave one to Shiina.

But I found that Shiina had just made such an explicit appearance of hoping for help, but now he was looking at him blankly.

Hmm.

She felt dull in her heart now.

Because.

At this moment, she felt in her heart that classmate Oreki might be a good person.

"That's right, I want to take this one, thank you." Hiyori took the book with both hands, but there was an earth-shaking change in his heart.

Because I didn't expect that the good guy I randomly attracted was actually classmate Oreki.

And what flashes in my mind is also my evaluation of the other party.

Great Demon King in school.

Oreki Money-Taking Monster.

Oreki Pigeon Beast.

These titles, which only she knew, turned out to be - he was actually a good person.

"No need." Oreki classmate didn't know that he had obtained a good guy card inexplicably.

He nodded to her, and then took the book to leave. He didn't just see her beauty superficially and then continue to strike up a conversation.

This really helps a lot.

Because Hiyori is not good at getting along with boys, let alone striking up conversations.

And classmate Oreki really looked like he was about to leave after helping her get the book.

"Wait a minute!"

She quickly called to the other party.

"Do you also like 5 Centimeters Per Second?"

Hiyori classmate asked.

Because classmate Oreki took two identical copies of 5 Centimeters Per Second, gave one to her, and then left with the other one.

"It's not about likes or dislikes. I just saw it when I was taking it down for you."

Oreki classmate said.

"I read it when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Now that I have read it, I have a whim and want to read it again." Oreki said. "After all, our thinking now has changed a lot from the past. So the information we get from the book is also more different."

In fact, I feel that since I have already arrived at the library, leaving like this feels like my trip was in vain.

So I just want to save energy by reading a book.

Then just kill some time or something.

"That's it-"

But Hiyori's favorability continued to increase after being helped.

At the same time, she was surprised to find that the other party actually chose the same book as her on a whim.

Hiyori's eyes glowed.

She likes books very much and has always hoped to find book friends.

It's just that the students in the class now... well, most of them seem to prefer to use violence to speak.

Therefore, there are relatively few people who will calm down and read a book.

And she had almost no companions or friends or book friends in the class.

But now.

From what I saw in the bookstore to Matoba now, isn't this classmate Oreki a person who likes reading?

Isn't this very similar to her interests?

"So..."

Classmate Hiyori seemed to want to strike up a conversation. "Oreki, classmate, do you like extracurricular books very much?"

"It's better to talk about studying--"

"Study? I don't like taking textbooks home, and I don't like reading them back and forth." said Oreki. "Studying is just a way to the future. Just master it."

Oh.

That's it.

She also felt that there was something interesting about the textbooks. After mastering them as quickly as possible, it was time to read various other extracurricular books.

And also from here.

Hiyori classmate discovered.

She felt like she could become friends with classmate Oreki.

So, classmate Oreki, who felt like he was becoming a friend, went aside to read a book.

Just.

After watching for a while, he found that Shiina was also sitting nearby.

If at the beginning when Kikyou Kushida kicked someone, Kushida stupidly came to look up the fingerprint book, and then he met Shiina.

At that time, classmate Oreki didn't pay attention.

I just thought this was a girl with a strong curiosity. Then I reminded Kikyou Kushida that this friend of hers is very curious.

Then the next time we met was at the bookstore a few days ago.

Shiina was prompted by Karuizawa to keep staring at him.

Then he used small tricks to get away from Shiina's close gaze.

And now...

Hmm.

She seems to have become cuter.

Yes, it has become cute.

Stand the book up and hide most of your face inside.

But his clear and bright eyes were revealed.

This pose is quite cute.

But.

If you don't read books, then don't leave the books like this.

Classmate Oreki thinks that Shiina obviously has the temperament of a literary girl, but she doesn't seem to like reading very much.

While he was thinking, he found Shiina walking over.

"Oreki," she said. "Can you exchange mobile phone numbers with me?"

"Then add friends."

"..."

When Oreki applied to add him to Sato before, he did not refuse.

That is according to the advice of Archangel Ichinose. Even if you are facing the person you are confessing to, you can still treat it with your usual attitude.

Don't make too many distinctions.

This way neither party will feel embarrassed.

And his usual attitude is not to reject other people's applications casually, because maybe one day he will be needed, right?

Otherwise, when you need to use the other party, it will be very troublesome to obtain the contact information and trouble other people who know it.

So the two became friends.

So.

Ibuki was tricked by classmate Oreki into attending classes at Kōenji. Then, after Kōenji discovered her outrageous academic ability, she thought it was a challenge and gave her guidance.

Her academic ability has also been improved.

After her academic ability improved, she ignored Ryuuen.

I refused and continued to follow classmate Oreki.

After all.

Because she was not good at studying, she felt that she had no chance of applying to the school she wanted to attend.

Then the only option is to be promoted to Class A, and then take the shortcut to the goal.

But if your academic performance improves, you can get through it even if you don't aim for Class A.

And in this school, even if you can't be promoted to Class A, you can still save tuition and possibly get living expenses. Isn't this pretty good?

So.

Ryuuen unexpectedly found that people in his own camp showed signs of rebellion.

So.

On the days when first graders study hard.

It's August 24th.

According to the rules of this month's Pairing Exam, the exam rules will be announced to the students on the 1st, and then the classes that will declare war on each other will be determined within 3 days.

Then on the 24th, the test paper was submitted to the class that declared war at the same time.

Submission time is from 8 am to 17 pm.

All you need to do is submit the prepared papers of eight subjects with 50 multiple-choice questions in each subject to your class teacher for review.

Today is Saturday.

Oreki classmate is still in school.

Because.

Students Class A and Class C signed an agreement, and then there was a gambling agreement.
