Manabu Horikita: I Heard You Changed My Sister

Because this is Suzune Horikita.

She has no friends, no romantic relationships, and knows very little about love, so... she probably hasn't thought about it.

But now that Horikita is ready, it would seem a bit cruel to reject her outright.

"..." Hachiman.

After some consideration, Hachiman decided to put aside thoughts about the opposite sex.

So he decided to accept Horikita's lid.

Only.

Hachiman looked at Horikita was holding the lid but only moved slightly, showing no intention of coming closer.

"... I said, I can't get it like this."

The table between them was 40 centimeters apart, and Horikita didn't even reach out, so he couldn't reach it at all.

"..." However, Horikita remained seated and said, "I mean, do you really want me to stand up and give it to you?"

Forehead.

This is very much like Suzune Horikita.

But.

Suzune Horikita, you'll never have any friends if you keep going like this.

Imagine this: You make a friend and then make her a bento box, which instantly brings you closer. Your friend also thinks Horikita is easy to get along with. Then Horikita even prepares tea, and you immediately say, "Ha, aren't you coming to get it? Do you expect me to bring it over?"

It was like food offered with contempt.

They'll be friends for good right there.

Hachiman had no choice but to stand up and walk up to her.

"Here you go." But at this moment, she would actually hand over the tea.

Bento boxes are usually made with cold food, but even cold food tastes pretty good when paired with hot tea.

Then, perhaps feeling that it was a bit boring to just watch Hachiman eat alone, she took out her own bento box.

At this moment, Hachiman was thinking that since the tea was all in a bottle, and he would return the bottle cap later, would she drink it?

No, no, no, I can't have strange thoughts about Horikita.

She doesn't understand this at all.

I'm just a little concerned about it.

Because will she really drink it?

And that's what I was thinking.

When Hachiman saw Suzune Horikita begin to act, she took out a bottle of juice from her backpack.

"..."

Hmm.

Is it even possible to do this?

"... Want some more?" Perhaps finding Hachiman's gaze too strange, and holding the lid of her empty teacup, she spoke again.

"Hmm... a little more," Hachiman Hikigaya said.

Although he felt he was thinking about impossible things, Hachiman remained honest because he could drink tea.

Then.

After paying 400 points for the ingredients, Hachiman Hikigaya finished his lunch.

Then the two of them went to wash the lunchboxes together.

Because it's a homemade bento box, the box needs to be washed after use.

Certainly.

Hachiman was also considering whether he should pay for the bento box himself.

Because the lunchbox I was using was new.

But.

Aside from the cost of the lunchbox, today's ingredients only cost 300 points.

It's cheap, but delicious.

Hachiman is not unpleasant.

Although you can treat someone to a meal at Sakayanagi 'Sakayanagi place, you can't eat there anytime.

Therefore, Hachiman is now more inclined to Horikita.

She makes a bento box for him, so she only needs to pay for the ingredients. Since she's also making her own, it's not much of a hassle.

There's nothing wrong with rice balls from convenience stores.

But.

As expected, handmade bento boxes are more appealing.

I'll give it a little thought.

Hachiman already has some ideas.

"So, Horikita, could you add one for me when you make the bento box again?" Hachiman asked.

"..."?

Suzune Horikita then looked over.

"No way."

Yeah.

That's true.

Although it's just preparing one copy for her and another copy for her, it's still a considerable undertaking.

It's natural to refuse.

Only.

Suzune Horikita's gaze, however, was not so calm, shifting slightly. "However, judging from Hachiman's subsequent performance, it's not that I can't continue to cook for you."

"So, you mean you want to distribute rewards according to work done?" Hachiman asked.

"Specifically, that should be the case," Horikita did not deny.

Then there's no problem.

Because Hachiman's only task is...

Go to Class A, go to Class A, and go to Class A again.

So Horikita's request was practically a freebie.

That means that, apart from being treated to meals by Sakayanagi, Hachiman can also eat decent meals at a low price.

In other words, even during lunch break, there is an option to go there.

However, since we've eaten their food, occasional praise is appropriate.

People like to hear rewards, praise, and compliments.

And this kind of thing doesn't require money; all you need is a mouth.

So Hachiman said, "I think you're in a pretty good mood today. Isn't it good that you're always like this?"

Although he would still say things like, "Huh? You want me to take it to you?" which could end a friendship, Horikita's other behavior was alright.

"I can't do it." But she refused outright. "I've said it before, I basically prefer to be alone, and I don't think it's necessary to do that."

Is that so?

But Horikita, do you understand?

Whether it's proactively suggesting becoming partners with others or willingly fulfilling a partner's request by making their lunchbox, these are all ways in which your cold exterior is changing.

You are gradually changing, do you understand?

Then.

Because of Suzune Horikita's change, Hachiman the next afternoon.

P. S.: Chapter 99, which was missing, has been restored. I didn't expect that chapter to be banned, as it didn't contain anything erotic.

Chapter 104 Manabu Horikita: I Heard You Changed My Sister

[After school, come to the public bathhouse.]

"..."

On the second day after school, during the last period in the afternoon, Hachiman received a message.

The other party probably sent it to him right when get out of class ended.

Furthermore, Hachiman had saved the other party's number as "Manabu Horikita".

So this message came from the Student Council President.

At the same time.

There is no reason to refuse.

Because.

[Your private account has received 20,000 Private Points. Current balance: 233,000]

Forehead.

Horikita seems to have gone a bit too far. Is he the kind of person who would go on a date just because he's given a certain amount of money?

After school in the afternoon, the students began to leave the classroom.

Yesterday, I was quite curiously watching Hachiman and Suzune Horikita.

But by the second day, the students' enthusiasm had waned considerably.

Furthermore, Hachiman ate his lunch in the classroom today. Several students who didn't go to the cafeteria witnessed Hachiman Hikigaya and Suzune Horikita eating their lunch together.

It was a bento box made by Suzune Horikita herself.

In other words...

They have a very close relationship.

Therefore, the classmates can basically confirm that... even if these two don't date, they're not far from dating.

Because if they were just ordinary friends, would they share lunchboxes?

It's impossible.

What kind of friend is that?

So when they learned this fact, many boys felt disappointed, or even a little jealous.

After all, although Horikita is aloof, there's no denying that he's incredibly handsome.

There are also many people who only judge by appearance.

Hachiman wasn't looking at Horikita's face; he was looking at his phone.

"Speaking of which, shall we go to my dorm next?" Suzune Horikita asked Hachiman.

Um.

This Horikita still doesn't seem to be able to read the room.

Didn't you see the few students who remained in the classroom looking over in surprise?

It's one thing to confess your feelings, and it's another to have a meal together, but now it's escalated to the point where you have to go to the dorm?

It's not actually that dirty.
