He even sacrificed his own time to guide her.
Although the process of learning chess was painful, it was undeniable that she could feel that she had changed differently from before.
And the person who changed her--
"..."
"..."
Horikita Suzune bit her lip gently.
I don't want to show my expression.
But everyone can see the fluctuations in her heart.
So.
She briefly wiped her hands on her clothes, then stretched them out, and then held them together with Oreki's.
"Yes." She smiled. "Thank you."
"..." Manabu Horikita.
"..." Akane Tachibana.
The two looked at each other, and now they seemed to be superfluous.
Manabu Horikita then pushed up his glasses.
Take a look.
He knew that his sister had been deceived after she stepped out of his shadow.
"Although I am disturbing you now." Manabu Horikita said. "But you should probably be prepared."
Are you ready?
Yes.
The first grade Special Exam is over.
For Manabu Horikita or for this school, it is very important that the current Student Council President resigns, and then the new Student Council President is elected.
Anyone who wants to grasp Class A will understand the value of Student Council President.
"I will seriously consider it," said classmate Oreki.
As a student of Class A, after knowing the permissions of Student Council President.
Student Oreki was thinking about how to grasp the position of student Class A, and the class did come up with one Student Council President.
And now it seems that the candidate for Student Council President has to be confirmed.
So Oreki successfully sent classmate Horikita back to the dormitory, but when he was about to return to his room, he found a girl wearing three hairpins appearing behind him.
Patted him.
This person is very familiar.
It's Masumi Kamuro's classmate in the class.
"Did you get the stuff?"
Oreki classmate said.
"..." Kamuro."Arisu Sakayanagi wants you to come over."
"Then..."
She paused. "I don't understand you at all."
Although she said this, she still took out a small box from her pocket.
Although Arisu Sakayanagi's request is very shameful, Oreki's request is not that difficult.
Because she was the one who went to the store to plunder all the family planning supplies, so she was probably the one in the school who was suddenly asked to get such things and was able to get them quickly.
"There are some things that I don't understand," said classmate Oreki.
Rather, with this Command Tower exam, his project really began.
Because the dormitories of his classmates were in the same building, Oreki didn't go very far. After waiting for Kamuro to open the door, what caught his eye was pink wallpaper and the bed was full of small animal dolls.
Very girly.
Even the floor is covered with mats that are designed to worry children from falling.
Again, very girly.
And Classmate Sakayanagi.
With pure silver long hair, fair and rosy skin, and slender and delicate big eyes, the girl who can't help but hold your breath is sitting there elegantly looking at this place.
Sure enough, no matter how many times I watch it, Classmate Sakayanagi is so cute.
Although some people commented that Karuizawa is very cute, classmate Oreki can only give a fair evaluation. Sakayanagi Arisu is the cutest one in the school.
Due to his extraordinary physique, classmate Oreki quickly discovered that he seemed to smell a moist feeling after taking a bath.
According to experience, it seems that the other party took a shower within 30 minutes from now.
Take a shower.
"..."
Student Oreki knows that the formal examination is Trial for classmate Horikita, and after the examination, it is his Trial.
So he looked at Kamuro.
"Thank you for your hard work today Kamuro." Sakayanagi Arisu said elegantly. "Your game today brought a crucial victory to our class."
"I can inform Tae that they will hold a celebration party for you."
"This is unnecessary." Kamuro doesn't like such lively activities.
Moreover, most of the students in the class are from different factions, and the gathering activities are probably for the purpose of exchanging information.
She is not the type who likes to be in contact with others, so it would be a good thing for her if Arisu Sakayanagi doesn't control her from now on.
"Then I will trouble you to take the cat with you today." Arisu Sakayanagi probably saw Kamuro's reluctance, and then said. "Today's chess game was not fun. Oreki and I are preparing to play another game. It is estimated that it will take a long time, but it will be time for the cat to eat later."
Does that mean that if she doesn't go to the celebration party, she has to take care of the cat?
"Got it."
So Kamuro squatted down, and Oreki's classmate's cat Hayate ran towards her.
One person and one cat retreated from here temporarily.
However, classmate Oreki did not take any action.
"What? Is there anything strange in my room?" Classmate Sakayanagi asked.
Arisu Sakayanagi is sitting at the small table. The four small legs of the small table are tied with kraft paper and placed on the bed. Sakayanagi Arisu is also sitting on the bed.
She was on the bed, and there was a chess board on the small table.
This seems to be an invitation for people to face it together.
This state is not unfamiliar to Oreki. During the holidays, he has been here many times and played chess with Arisu Sakayanagi many times.
"No," said classmate Oreki. "But I hope you won't target Horikita Suzune again."
"Horikita classmate--"
Arisu Sakayanagi seemed to think for a moment. "Then Oreki, I hope you can tell me truthfully, this time Special Exam, what is the true meaning of chess that you will choose to teach Horikita Suzune."
"You may have discovered it." Oreki said. "Horikita Suzune can actually develop in other aspects in this exam. Then I wanted her to learn chess, and she started to learn chess."
"And follow my request to study every day." Oreki said.
"..." Arisu Sakayanagi.
"..." Arisu Sakayanagi.
Arisu Sakayanagi tried to figure out the meaning of his words.
In other words, Horikita Suzune is the type that is indispensable to you and completely obeys you.
And she really couldn't do this.
"That's really a pity." Sakayanagi Arisu commented.
What she wants is to stay with Oreki's classmates, instead of becoming a Tool Person like Horikita Suzune.
Because isn't there a saying that says so?
Is it to be a treasure chest of memories or a handy tool box?
However.
Arisu Sakayanagi blinked softly, "So, let's continue playing chess? As you know, today's game is very boring. We already know the result, so we can't get excited at all."
This sentence is in contrast to when she went to the special classroom as Command Tower, "It's a pity that we can't compete because we are in the same class."
Since we can't compete in the exam, it doesn't say we can't compete in private.
"I have already felt the chess skills of classmate Horikita." Arisu Sakayanagi said. "And the fact that classmate Oreki can teach her like that means that her chess skills have improved a lot. So let me have a taste of it."
"Okay."
Oreki was originally at the entrance. When he heard her words, he turned around and locked the door with his backhand.
"Do you want to take a shower first?" Arisu Sakayanagi asked.
"No, it's fine now."
Then walk towards Arisu Sakayanagi.
Next, it will probably be a duel between the two of them that cannot be shown to outsiders.
For Arisu Sakayanagi, it is also a test that transcends shame.
She covered her face with her hands.
Although I thought my slender body would still attract some uncle lolita fans, it turned out that it was too shameful to take off all my clothes.
"Although I have a premonition, we really need to fight--" Oreki said.
"Please let me go, Mr. Oreki, a lustful high school student--" But Classmate Sakayanagi quickly chose to beg for mercy.
"Aren't you using no strength to resist?" Student Oreki felt that he could take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack.
"... Then please take responsibility." Classmate Sakayanagi seemed to find it impossible to retreat.
"If I don't want to be responsible, then I won't come here specially. Arisu--"
This may be the first time that classmate Oreki calls her name.
Somewhat lively.
But very quickly.
"Wait, Oreki, Houtarou--don't--"
It's obviously an important matchup.
However, Sakayanagi Arisu quickly begged for mercy, "Stop, it hurts too much. This is not a duel at all, because it's too big."
Indeed.
Considering her body, she is still too weak.
Regarding this point, classmate Oreki has also considered this.
As a result, a game that was supposed to continue ended with Classmate Sakayanagi unilaterally begging for mercy and abstaining.
Probably waiting for her to rest and relax, classmate Oreki put the chess pieces that were messed up by some excessive movements and the chessboard that was thrown on the ground back to their original positions.
And Classmate Sakayanagi has also changed into pajamas again.
"It's a pity, but my body may not be adaptable. I'm sorry that I can't let you enjoy it to the fullest."
Classmate Sakayanagi is a little disappointed.
Oreki gently touched her hair to show comfort.
