Beep beep!
Hachiman noticed the fleeting message, and the fingers recording notes paused as well.
"What is it?"
"Horikita sent me a text." Since he was eating with his girlfriend, Hachiman answered honestly. "She asked for my location."
"She asked for your location?" Classmate Sakayanagi blinked lightly.
She knew very well that Horikita was someone with some fighting power as well. She had originally thought Horikita wanted to join Class A, only for her to go after Hachiman instead.
What was more—
On Valentine's Day, she had even given Hachiman chocolate right in front of her.
It could be said that she had some nerve.
And speaking of that—
"Come to think of it, Horikita gave you chocolate specifically on Valentine's Day last month," Sakayanagi said.
"At the time, she thought you were pestering me, so she did it deliberately. She was probably trying to make you stay away from me," Hachiman said.
I see.
Arisu nodded.
But Sakayanagi felt that something about this relationship was wrong.
Hachiman and Horikita were fake dating, right? They were supposed to be each other's shields, right?
Then why would a fake girlfriend tell the real girlfriend to stay away from Hachiman?
Yet she was also the one who had others spread the news that she had confessed to Hachiman and been rejected.
So she was also the one who had caused Horikita to misunderstand.
She really could only swallow this loss.
It felt like she had lifted a rock only to smash her own foot.
Classmate Sakayanagi considered the gains and losses at this moment.
Still, the fact that Hachiman could tell her this meant he clearly understood that she and Horikita held completely different places in his heart.
As she thought that—
Sakayanagi spotted someone at the entrance to the private room.
