Horikita's Family Matters, Dokuho Kouya Who Spent 20 Million to Help Someone Transfer Classes, and the Nickname That Wasn't Wrong

The appearance of Dokuho Kouya was completely unexpected to the audience.

His choice of words was even more impossible to keep a straight face at.

"Did he really just say 'assaulting Horikita'?"

"The tense atmosphere was completely derailed by Money Brother in an instant."

"You can't really blame Money Brother, though. From his perspective, he was just out on a date with a girl when he heard someone calling for help. He ran over and saw the Student Council President cornering Horikita against a wall."

"Then, the usually untouchable Horikita showed such a vulnerable expression, and the Student Council President said, 'Horikita, you haven't changed at all,' before reaching out to touch her."

"Anyone seeing that situation would think the Student Council President was about to do something inappropriate to Horikita."

"Hahaha, the previous comment makes so much sense. Especially the President's move—if he wanted to hit her, he could have just used a fist, but he specifically went for a palm strike."

"We know from watching the anime that he intended to strike Horikita, but to an outsider, it looked like the Student Council President was trying to grope a girl."

The audience happily posted comments, proactively helping to explain the logic behind Dokuho Kouya's actions, which almost made the latter laugh out loud.

But he absolutely could not laugh now, because Manabu Horikita, whose arm he had grabbed, was already making a move.

Realizing he had been intercepted, a cold glint flashed in Manabu Horikita's eyes as he turned and attacked the boy behind him with his other hand.

His speed was quite swift; an ordinary person would have been caught off guard.

However, Dokuho Kouya currently possessed strength on par with Makoto Kyogoku. In his eyes, Manabu Horikita's speed was far too slow, filled with redundant movements.

Kouya stepped back slightly, relying solely on his footwork to dodge every one of the Student Council President's attacks.

Finally, spotting the opening after the Student Council President threw a punch, Dokuho Kouya immediately grabbed his arm, pivoted, and using the strength of his waist, slammed him onto the ground.

A shoulder throw!

Anyone who has watched Detective Conan knows that once someone is hit with a shoulder throw, regardless of who they are, they lose their ability to fight for a short time.

Manabu Horikita was no exception.

After being slammed to the ground by Dokuho Kouya, he felt pain throughout his entire body, as if his bones were about to fall apart; he found it difficult even to stand up.

"Brother!"

Seeing her beloved brother collapse to the ground, Horikita Suzune ran over quickly and crouched down to check on him.

Dokuho Kouya stood by, relaxed and at ease, without a single drop of sweat on his face, as if the previous encounter didn't even count as a warm-up.

"Impressive."

Hiding behind a tree to observe, Ayanokouji evaluated the scene after watching the entire process.

Tonight, he had inexplicably wanted to go downstairs to buy a drink, and by pure coincidence, he had witnessed the Student Council President and Horikita Suzune arguing.

Although the two were arguing fiercely, most of the time it was Horikita Suzune who was on the receiving end of the scolding.

In the end, their dispute escalated, and the Student Council President even intended to resort to physical violence.

When Ayanokouji saw this, he had originally intended to step in and save Horikita Suzune.

However, he noticed someone passing by in the distance, and that person was none other than Dokuho Kouya, whom he had noticed earlier.

As an advocate of avoiding trouble, Ayanokouji did not want to reveal his own strength, so he hid behind the trees and observed how things would unfold.

"Horikita's brother has decent skills, but he is no match for Kouya at all."

Ayanokouji narrowed his eyes, assessing the strength of the two.

In terms of combat ability, neither of them was bad; in fact, they could be considered excellent.

Especially Dokuho Kouya—both his earlier evasion and the final shoulder throw demonstrated his formidable power.

Even if an instructor from the White Room were to come, they probably wouldn't have an easy time.

"I didn't expose myself, and I managed to observe the strength of both the Student Council President and Kouya from the shadows. My judgment was correct."

Ayanokouji thought silently to himself.

On the other side.

After a long while, Manabu Horikita finally managed to crawl up from the ground.

"Brother..."

"I don't need your concern, Suzune."

Manabu Horikita glanced at his sister with an icy gaze, scaring her into silence.

Seeing that Horikita Suzune was still acting so spineless, Manabu Horikita sighed inwardly, then looked at the boy in front of him and said in a low voice, "I apologize for the misunderstanding; this is merely a family matter between my sister and me."

Through the fight just now, Manabu Horikita knew he was no match for the boy before him.

After being shoulder-thrown by his opponent, he was undoubtedly the weaker party; if he continued to speak with the attitude of a Student Council President, it might provoke further hostility.

"Even if it is a family matter, there was no need to hit someone just because I discovered it."

Dokuho Kouya smiled. "This isn't just a family matter anymore; it's a situation where I was just attacked by you, isn't it?"

Just then, the girl with purple twin-tails walked over holding her phone. "Kouya-kun, I've already recorded the whole situation."

Dokuho Kouya nodded with satisfaction. "Thank you for your hard work, Yuki."

While they were on their way here just a moment ago, he had instructed Yuki Himeno to start recording on her phone.

Everything had been captured: the Student Council president's attempt to "molest" Horikita Suzune, and how he had shifted his aggression toward Dokuho Kouya after being stopped.

The matter between Manabu Horikita and Horikita Suzune could still be brushed off as a family affair.

However, the act of attacking Dokuho Kouya was something that could never be washed away.

Seeing that the other party had already recorded the video, Manabu Horikita's expression turned grave, yet he calmly brought up a different topic, "This afternoon, our Class A of the Third Year welcomed a transfer student."

"That transfer student was originally a student from Class C of the Third Year, and he arrived in our Class A by paying the school 20 million private points."

"I once asked him, along with others in my class, how he managed to scrape together so many private points, and his answer surprised us all."

"According to him," Manabu Horikita paused, then continued, "it was Dokuho Kouya from Class A of the First Year who gifted him those 20 million private points."

"I assume you must be that student, Dokuho?"

As soon as these words were spoken, neither Yuki Himeno and Horikita Suzune, who were present, nor Ayanokouji, who was hiding in the shadows, could believe what they had just heard.

Only the first month of school, and he already had 20 million private points?

And then he just gave them away?

Let alone them, even the viewers watching the animation were stunned.

"Holy crap!"

"Money Brother is a legend!"

"How on earth did he earn 20 million in the first month? Emptying out the entire grade level wouldn't even be enough, right?"

"In the first episode, he gave a random student 2,000 yen, and in the second episode, he gave a senior student 20 million."

"That nickname, Money Brother, really fits him perfectly!"
