Kushida hadn't helped Horikita this time for that reason. She turned to look at Sakayanagi Arisu.
Sakayanagi Arisu seemed able to maintain her smile.
But to Kushida, who was quite good at reading the room, Horikita had probably made it onto Sakayanagi's little grudge list.
In other words, this was a critical hit against Sakayanagi right now. Super effective.
And Classmate Sakayanagi was indeed maintaining her smile.
In her heart, she had added Horikita to her little list. At the same time, she added Kushida, who had invited her out, to that list as well.
Because she didn't believe it could have been such a coincidence that she had only just been invited out by Kushida, only to witness this scene.
Rather, Kushida had helped Horikita, hadn't she?
Kushida knew she had lost, yet she still deliberately wanted to disgust her.
Hmph.
What a loser's struggle.
Still, this could also be understood as Kushida seeing her as a formidable enemy.
So while she was somewhat displeased, she also felt that it was only natural.
Sakayanagi realized that her mood had become rather complicated.
Moreover, she had noticed Horikita giving Hachiman chocolate, and that guy Hachiman hadn't refused it.
"..." Sakayanagi.
"What a fine show. It seems quite a few people enjoy Valentine's Day after all." With that, Sakayanagi gripped her little cane and headed straight for the elevators.
Sakayanagi was in poor health, was also the Student Council President, the representative of Class A, and currently gave off a slightly dangerous aura. Thus, the clueless bystanders hurriedly moved out of her way.
However, some people recalled that Classmate Sakayanagi had seemingly confessed to Hachiman not long ago, only to be rejected.
In that case, Horikita really was bold.
She had openly rubbed salt in President Sakayanagi's wounds.
