Because the correct thing to say is to ask you to help me again, not to ask you to continue to help me.
In other words, you have acquiesced that when you are in trouble and find that you cannot solve it, you will seek help from classmates Oreki.
There is only one such person that Ichinose knows, and that is family.
Many people think that family members are creatures that make trouble for each other.
However, you will also feel trapped in the process.
Because life is full of these trivial things, but because of the connection between family members, everyone is connected together.
So.
Horikita classmate, do you know what you are expressing by your words and your response attitude?
This made Ichinose almost doubt what he was doing.
I doubt that I have arrived at the scene of proposal and acceptance.
And they didn't seem to notice it yet.
"Hug, I'm sorry--" Ichinose decided to break the sweet atmosphere, "I feel like I've disturbed you two."
"No--" Suzune only then realized that Ichinose was still there.
Chapter 132 Ichinose: If someone must be hurt, then I want it to be me!
Ichinose is still on site.
And the sense of presence finally came out.
Just now she felt like an audience.
But she knew she was invited.
"Ugh... Actually, I was invited here by classmate Oreki. After all, classmate Horikita and I have never spoken." Ichinose said.
"But... as long as I can do it, I will do anything."
She expressed her determination. "So if you have anything I can help with, you can tell me as much as you can."
"That's it, thank you--" Horikita is a very stubborn person.
What's very strange is that even though he had become autistic just now, when he held the hand of classmate Oreki and received comfort from him, he felt incredibly calm in his heart.
So Horikita found that he could actually listen to them calmly.
And also expressed his gratitude.
When he said thank you, even Ichinose was surprised.
She must have heard someone say that classmate Horikita is a very difficult person to get along with, but now classmate Horikita appears to be reasonable.
Is this rumor wrong? On the way here, classmate Oreki also gave her psychological counseling, saying that she might be rejected or scolded by classmate Horikita.
And Ichinose also felt that he might have to suffer some grievances.
But what now?
Horikita classmate seems to be very easy to get along with.
In other words, classmate Horikita has really calmed down.
Horikita Suzune said,
"I also thought about the solution before going to the classroom in the morning."
"Ignore the rumors and don't react to them, then other people will find it boring and ignore the rumors themselves. So as long as you use time as a weapon, the rumors will eventually dissipate."
This is not just talk, she has dealt with it this way in the past.
Because she was not gregarious or unwilling to waste study time doing chores, she was a lonely person in the past. Then there were some classmates who wanted to spread bad words about her deliberately.
So she has had this experience before.
Then her plan was to ignore it.
Because he didn't get a response from her, these bad words gradually disappeared.
But.
This refers to the normal state.
The students in this school are abnormal and have been specially selected, and some outrageous people may not be encountered in ordinary schools.
So her plan won't work with this rumor.
In other words, she has not been subject to this type of rumors in the past.
As a younger sister, she has always followed the example of her outstanding brother and wants to work hard, but she is also aware of her own level of strength, so all she can do is not to cause any more trouble to the other person.
So.
This is her weakness.
So, the classmates in the class today went too far, and she couldn't control herself at all.
He immediately ran away.
And such consequences will only make the rumors worse and have a negative impact.
Thinking of this, Horikita suddenly fell silent.
In other words, after thinking about it, I realized that I really did a bad job in this rumor incident.
Shake, run away, and shut down.
"..." It's indeed disgraceful.
"It seems that you have calmed down." Oreki said. "Then let's consider the solution."
"The most important thing about rumors is the central figure in the rumor." Oreki said, "You can use part of your influence to spread it, and you can also use part of your influence to suppress it. At the same time, as the central figure, you must also respond at this time."
"It seems like this is really a lot of things..." Ichinose clapped his hands gently. "Then, classmate Horikita, please rest first."
Horikita has no objection. Although she wants to put it to use now, it is obvious that she still cannot face those classmates immediately and stabilize her emotions. If she could, she would not escape from there.
Although I have calmed down incredibly now.
But.
You also have to think about specific solutions.
"Sorry for interrupting your class time and making you absent from class."
Oreki and Ichinose went downstairs together and said to Ichinose.
It's no longer lunch break.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and classes had already started in the school. Whether Horikita asked for leave or was absent from class was irrelevant, but he and Honami Ichinose would definitely be judged as absent from class.
And classmate Oreki knows that Archangel Ichinose is a good student with perfect attendance.
"No, it doesn't matter. If I can be useful, that will be enough." Ichinose shook her head gently. This girl who always seemed optimistic said words that made people feel comfortable, "And Horikita classmate seems to have cheered up."
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Oreki felt that Ichinose seemed to be deliberately rejecting the topic of absenteeism.
Then he worked very hard to show kindness.
"Probably, I hope she can make some progress." said classmate Oreki.
"Then today I will advise the students of Class B not to discuss this topic again." Ichinose said.
"That is to say, the plan for this incident is still to let influential people influence others and suppress this topic... hmm."
"It's just that this is the plan I came up with. As for classmate Oreki, what was the original plan? Did you ask Kushida to take action?"
Ichinose was holding a small notebook and exposing his face from the upper edge of the notebook, feeling a little curious.
"Yes." Classmate Oreki nodded. "She may not be too willing, but she does need her channels to act."
"Instead of Ichinose your channel."
"Huh?"
Ichinose Archangel blinked slightly.
"Because it will destroy interpersonal relationships." said classmate Oreki. "The price is too high. So we have to let Kikyou Kushida do it."
??
What can only Kikyou Kushida do?
So Ichinose listened carefully.
Oreki classmate said,
"Because what I did was to let Kikyou Kushida deliberately spread some more extreme rumors."
"For example, a large number of second- and third-year seniors are selling and first-year boys are buying, etc. Then the school and Student Council have to pay attention to it, and then use their power to fight the rumors, and then the rumors on Horikita's side are also suppressed."
Hmm.
Ichinose choked for a moment, because this plan would indeed prevent any more rumors.
It almost put out the small flames.
But.
This is very rude to the second and third grade seniors and the first grade boys.
In other words, for the sake of classmate Horikita, do you not care at all whether you might accidentally injure others?
And Kushida may not be willing, because for sure.
Because people with better interpersonal relationships can be traced back to the source.
Even though we didn't trace it back, some mistakes occurred afterwards, and Kikyou Kushida asked the friends who spread the rumors to think about her.
So this is a rumor that he wants to cut off his interpersonal relationships.
But.
Classmate Oreki initially judged that he could do this, which means that the relationship between Kushida and him has become so good that it doesn't matter even if he takes the blame.
Oreki classmate is really popular.
Ichinose sighed in his heart.
At the same time, I also feel that this method is too good to let her do it.
It's not that I don't want to help, but this kind of behavior is very rude. It protects classmate Horikita, but hurts many people.
She doesn't like hurting others.
If someone must be hurt, then she wants the person to be hurt to be herself.
And things were handled quickly.
In the evening, classmate Oreki and Ichinose went to meet classmate Horikita again.
And she had recovered enough to go out with them to have tea and discuss things.
So.
The next day.
Just as planned, Horikita Suzune came to school.
Although the rumors this time have changed, when they spread, they were not the same as the original version.
But the basic core is that Horikita Suzune is the sister of Student Council President.
And as long as you know this, then... you can seize it and use it as a weapon to attack.
But.
No student in Oreki's class took advantage of this to attack Horikita Suzune.
Rather, everyone is confident because classmate Oreki often has private meetings with classmate Horikita.
So.
Attacking Horikita Suzune is basically equivalent to offending classmate Oreki.
