Manabu Horikita: You Might Not Believe This, but My Little Sister Is Missing! (Continued)

And Manabu Horikita knows Chabashira and has investigated Chabashira's past, so it is normal to know this.

So it's important not to have any regrets.

Then there can be no distractions.

But where do distractions go?

It should be at my sister's place.

After all, he is a family member and an elder brother, so Manabu Horikita cannot ignore his sister.

Because.

Manabu Horikita initially wanted Suzune to drop out of school because he felt that Suzune was not suitable for this school, and he was assigned to Class D. Whether it was climbing up or for other reasons, it was very difficult.

But I soon discovered that it might be even worse if my weak sister dropped out of school.

You may be bullied or hurt outside. And you still need to board at school, so this is a pretty bad state.

Thinking about it this way, it is better to keep my sister by my side so that I can take care of her, and then let her gain some experience and become stronger.

As Student Council President, he knows very well that even if he cannot graduate as Class A in the end, after taking so many exams, students will have more experience and a better mentality and method of dealing with difficult problems than ordinary students in the outside world.

So.

The ones here now are President Horikita, Manabu Horikita, and also Horikita's Brother.

If you want to make a big splash, the first thing you need to do is to arrange your sister's affairs first.

So we made arrangements, referring to this rumor? Do you hope that your sister will gain a lot from this rumor?

True.

This news about Student Council President's sister is very valuable.

You can even get a lot of tickets for free, and then you can lay the foundation for entering Class A in the future.

At the same time, if you insist on standing up despite the rumors, it will be strengthened. Then after you graduate, your sister will be able to survive in school independently.

It can be said that this is Horikita's Brother's good intentions.

But.

"What about the other reason?" Oreki asked directly.

Indeed, Horikita's Brother is training his sister and giving her what he can give. This is a very good reason.

Just using rumors doesn't seem like a tactic he would use.

So.

There might be another reason for him to actually take action.

"Ten days ago, a man found me."

Manabu Horikita said.

"The other party spent 100,000 points to buy me 5 minutes. And during these 5 minutes, the other party just asked me a question."

"Ask me if I am Suzune's brother."

"The other party is quite aggressive."

So that's it.

Oreki classmate understands.

This is because I discovered that my sister might be attacked, so I strengthened my sister first.

"Suzune's biggest flaw is this." Manabu Horikita said. "She cares too much about her own strength, and then she also worries about holding me back."

"She has been chasing my steps and moving towards me."

"This is a thorny road." Manabu Horikita said. "It's not completely suitable for her, but I can't deny that the timid sister who works hard to keep up is quite cute."

And such words are like small talk.

It was Manabu Horikita who was explaining his understanding of his sister. And this feeling made Oreki face his sister.

"..."

And classmate Oreki listened and nodded.

But he doesn't think Horikita's Brother fully understands his sister.

Because.

When Deserted Island was taking the exam, on the ship, classmate Oreki asked Little Sister Horikita about his future life goals.

In addition to chasing my brother to become good enough.

She has no goals of her own in life.

When he asked what it would be like to become a lawyer, Little Sister Horikita responded that it seemed like becoming a lawyer would be a good idea.

That is to say.

Little Sister Horikita actually has no self.

I just think that my brother is excellent, so as the sister of an excellent brother, I also need to become excellent.

But Horikita's Brother did not get this.

Just giving what he thought he could give his sister.

Therefore, this rumor incident is just Horikita's Brother's unilateral feeling that it needs to be done.

He even thought this was his sister's biggest flaw, so he made arrangements in advance to get rid of this flaw.

But.

"Horikita's Brother." said classmate Oreki. "Do you really know your own sister?"

"What do you mean?" Manabu Horikita put on his glasses again.

"Do you think classmate Horikita is just chasing you?"

"I don't think so."

"Because I also have an excellent older sister in my family. Then I understand what it feels like for younger siblings to have an excellent and strong older sister or older brother."

"I think they are very powerful, and I want to work hard towards them."

"But."

"Horikita classmate seems to you to be walking in your direction, but didn't you notice?"

"That's what you think."

"She is being influenced by you."

"At the same time, I was also influencing her. She had no goals in life. I suggested to her that becoming a lawyer would be a good idea, and she thought it would be good to become a lawyer."

"So, Horikita's Brother, you don't understand your sister's biggest flaw."

So.

Horikita Suzune is not being himself.

Manabu Horikita thinks that he has perfected his sister's biggest flaw, but this is not the case.

Because her flaws were only known to classmate Oreki.

It has been 2 days since the incident of the drama in class and the subsequent rumors.

And yesterday, classmate Horikita joined the study meeting again.

Although she is just acting, she has also grown a bit and understood that maybe she doesn't need to treat everyone completely sincerely.

Because some people will not express gratitude to you or accept you.

However, if you are a little more diplomatic and hide your sincerity, the surrounding atmosphere will also relax.

And is this what Kushida has been doing?

However, thanks to these, she regained her peaceful daily life.

Today's Horikita Suzune has a neater hairstyle than usual, which is evidence that the girl's daily life has begun to move forward.

Last night, her brother sent her a message asking her whether she wanted to go to school or what she wanted to do after graduation.

She hasn't considered this yet.

However, before on the ship, classmate Oreki suggested becoming a lawyer. Becoming a lawyer can help others, which seems good.

In the elevator.

She met a boy from the same dormitory building.

The other person has dark green pupils. It is undeniable that he is a very good-looking boy.

"Good morning, classmate Oreki." Horikita Suzune is in the elevator, and at this point, she is the only one in the elevator, and Kikyou Kushida is standing in the corner.

When he saw classmate Oreki entering the elevator, classmate Horikita said hello.

This move surprised Kikyou Kushida.

Because Horikita Suzune is as cool as ice, but now the ice and snow are melting.

"Morning." said classmate Oreki.

Then because the elevator reached the first floor, we walked straight forward.

Noting this, classmate Horikita has no dissatisfaction.

I can finally return to my peaceful daily routine. This month's Special Exam is also a written exam.

Then it will be no different than before.

There is no big difference from usual, except that there is this man beside me.

"What's wrong?" Oreki classmate looked at her.

"..." Horikita.

Now they are in the library. During their lunch break, they came to the library together and checked the list of books borrowed from each other.

In this rumor incident, the reward that classmate Oreki wanted was to let her borrow 100 books, and he would be responsible for returning them after reading them.

In other words, the deal that struck him in the first place is still going on.

However, what he said at the beginning was just to test whether he was a man who could be suitable for anyone.

So if you are interested in her, then maybe he is that bad of a man.

But now he has to borrow 100 books and returning 2 books is equivalent to kissing her once. So, does he actually want to kiss her 50 times?

This level of demand is not normal.

That is to say.

Does it mean that the other party is actually very interested in her?

Suzune thought.

And Oreki noticed that she seemed to be in a daze.

"Horikita, what can you do?"

"..." Horikita Suzune.

"Do you feel uncomfortable sitting next to you?"

"Then I'll sit further away."

"..." Horikita Suzune.

"Now that things have happened, it doesn't matter anymore." Horikita Suzune said. "By the way, I can borrow the books myself this time. You don't need to come here specially."

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?" said classmate Oreki.

"?"

Horikita's body seemed to freeze instantly.

"Horikita?"
