Chapter 160 Valentine’S Day, A Precursor To Collapse.

February 14th.

Valentine's Day

"Damn, it looks like I received chocolates from Suzune."

"I don't think that guy will give it to anyone, right?"

"Kanji, you are so kind. You should be able to receive chocolates from that guy Shinohara, right?"

"Huh? Idiot, why did her name suddenly appear?"

"Don't play dumb, we already know it."

Even while walking on the road.

Hikigaya can also hear the conversation between the three idiots in Class D.

really.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same.

Class B is still worried about Ichinose, and other classes are actually still concerned about whether they can receive chocolates on Valentine's Day.

Hikigaya doesn't really care.

I originally thought I could receive chocolates from Kobashi Yume and others, but now I'm afraid that's all gone.

after all.

Now everyone is worried about Ichinose's Class B, they may not be able to care about Valentine's Day.

Hikigaya was happy and relaxed.

After all, it's just chocolate, it doesn't have any special meaning and you need to find a way to return the gift.

It just feels like a problem.

"Beep."

At this moment.

A cell phone ringtone rang, it was Karuizawa.

Hikigaya frowned and hung up directly, feeling that this guy must be doing nothing good by contacting him.

Then he received another contact from Sakura Airi and Kushida Kikyo.

[Sakura Airi: If you have time after school today, let's have a meal together. ]

"???"

Hikigaya suddenly frowned.

How does it feel? It doesn't sound like what Sakura Airi said.

[Hikigaya: No. ]

After waiting for a long time, Sakura Airi's message came again 13 times.

[Sakura Airi: Is it...because of Ichinose-san? ]

[ Hikigaya: Well... let's just leave it at that. ]

"well."

Hikigaya sighed.

Even if people like Sakura Airi, who has few friends, know about it, people in other classes may already know about Ichinose's situation.

After all, Ichinose is still the leader of Class B. It is impossible to say that he doesn't care, so he didn't lie.

[ Sakura Airi: Okay, I'm sorry, I bothered you even at this time. ]

[ Hikigaya: Don't worry. ]

Always says sorry, this is Sakura Airi's style.

Hikigaya checked the messages of several other people.

Shiina Hiyori and Kushida Kikyo asked about Ichinose's situation and asked if they had time.

Naturally, Hikigaya didn't reply at all, and got their understanding directly. I'm afraid many people are worried about Ichinose.

At least Shiina Hiyori was obviously genuinely worried.

Basically, I would ask about Ichinose's current situation once a day.

"Beep."

At this moment.

The phone received another call from Karuizawa, and Hikigaya answered the call helplessly:

"What's the matter?"

It feels like if he doesn't pick up the ball, this guy will keep fighting. He has already fully experienced Karuizawa's strength.

"Ummm....."

Karuizawa's hesitant voice came from the phone: "I just wanted to ask if you have time after school today. It's a bit heavy for me to ask you."

"No."

Hikigaya knows it.

As long as it's Karuizawa, nothing good will happen.

"Um..."

Karuizawa was a little helpless: "It really is because of Ichinose's incident, right? Everyone in Class D is wondering what Ichinose has done and how is she now?"

"Well, it feels the same as usual."

Hikigaya walked towards the school and said with some concern: "Well, can I ask a question?"

"Of course, just ask."

"Do you think Ichinose's rumors are true or false?"

Hikigaya asked in a deep voice.

Although I know that Ichinose is very popular in Class B, I have also heard that Ichinose is very popular in school.

But.

I have never personally heard what a foreigner thinks about Ichinose.

"This question is difficult to answer."

On the opposite side, Karuizawa's tone became hesitant: "At first, I thought it was a lie. After all, it's that Ichinose, so it's unlikely that he would do the things rumored.

At least.

It is a fact that Ichinose has a good reputation in school and is trusted by everyone.

Even a hot girl like Karuizawa believed that Ichinose was framed from the beginning.

"But lately I feel like..."

Karuizawa's tone was a little complicated: "It might be true. After all, Class A has said so, so that guy should be a little confident."

Obviously.

Gradually, some people began to believe that Ichinose was a criminal.

Karuizawa's attitude probably represents the views of most people.

So.

There may also be some changes in the attitudes of people around you.

At first.

Most of them were jokes like, "Ichinose, someone said you had been in paid dating." They were treated as jokes.

Now most of them don't dare to talk to Ichinose anymore, or they hesitate and whisper about Ichinose's past.

If it's just a joke.

Ichinose might still be able to face it calmly, or even pass it off with a smile.

And silent doubt.

It will undoubtedly greatly increase the pressure on Ichinose.

"but."

Karuizawa sighed a little: "I can't believe that people like Ichinose have done bad things before.

"You said it as if you were convinced."

Hikigaya was a little dissatisfied.

Although he also likes to take pleasure in others' misfortunes, he rarely makes judgments or comments.

Most of them only think that Ichinose is a good person, but they don't trust Ichinose much. They may be better than strangers, but that's it.

They didn't care about Ichinose's feelings at all.

They just talked about Ichinose's affairs as if it were something to talk about after dinner.

certainly.

Hikigaya won't say much. After all, they have nothing to do with Ichinose. It would be arrogant to force the other party with too high demands.

It's just that I'm somewhat dissatisfied.

"Eh? Don't be angry."

On the other end of the phone, Karuizawa felt guilty for some reason and said:

"It's just a casual talk, and there are many of us who have been helping Class B to stop Class A from spreading rumors. I heard that we even stopped Kanzaki from fighting with Hashimoto and the others."

"Um?"

Hikigaya was suddenly confused.

Class D is actually assisting Class B?

And Kanzaki is about to start a fight with someone?

what's the situation?

By the way, it's no wonder that even Karuizawa knew that this was Class A's trick and must have helped a lot.

"Um, sorry."

Hikigaya felt a little embarrassed: "I don't know this."

"Eh?"

Karuizawa on the other end of the phone was surprised: "You are obviously a member of Class B?"

"Uh...yeah.

Hikigaya is even more embarrassed.

As a member of Class B, he actually knows less than the people in other classes. It is indeed a bit derelict in his duty.

"Hmm."

Karuizawa hummed twice, her tone seemed a little pleasant.

This at least shows that Hikigaya doesn't care much about Ichinose. For some reason, just thinking of this makes Karuizawa feel a little happy.

"That's right, but if this continues, won't Class B be in a bad situation?"

"It should be fine."

After all, Ichinose looked like a normal person yesterday, and he was obviously still very strong inside.

Class 1-B.

As soon as he walked in the door.

Hikigaya felt a heavy atmosphere. As expected, no one was talking about Valentine's Day. Everyone was worried about Ichinose.

Although Ichinose acted like a normal person.

But Kobashi Yume, Amikura Mako, Shiranami Chihiro and others still surrounded her with a more enthusiastic attitude than before.

However.

If he tell the truth.

Hikigaya feels that this will only increase pressure on Ichinose.

Originally, Ichinose was pushed to the position of class president and has always felt guilty for failing to achieve excellent results.

Continuing to worry about Ichinose like this will probably only make her blame herself even more.

It's better to lower your expectations for Ichinose.

Hikigaya lies on the table.

Shiranami Chihiro has not come to interfere with him in recent days. It is obvious that she has also been affected by Ichinose and is a little out of shape.

As the class bell rang.

There was a murmur in the classroom, and even Hikigaya noticed something was wrong because Ichinose Honami hadn't arrived yet.

Ichinose has always been a good student.

She has never been absent, and she has never been late. It is unimaginable that she would be late.

"Sure enough, what happened?"

Behind him, Amikura Mako whispered worriedly.

At this moment, accompanied by the stamping of high-heeled shoes, Hoshinomiya Chie walked into the classroom with a rare attitude.

"teacher."

Immediately, several people raised their hands and asked, "Is there any reason why Honami-chan hasn't come yet?"

"Well, I already know this."

Hoshinomiya Chie's pretty face was also worried as she said: "Honami-chan took a day of sick leave.

"is this real?"

Kobashi Yume and others stood up quickly and said nervously: "But she seemed to be fine yesterday.

Except for the point limit.

The discipline of this school is quite loose, and anyone who asks for leave will basically be approved, let alone a top student like Ichinose.

"I don't know either."

Hoshinomiya Chie pouted cutely, and then said with some worry:

"Tomorrow is the weekend, you can ask Honami-chan. Because Honami-chan is a top student, taking a few days off will not have any impact.

"But if she don't come to school all the time, your class points will be deducted.

Got it, I'll go check it out after school. "

Many girls quickly promised.

And Hikigaya stared at the table, unable to pretend that he didn't hear it.

Take Friday off.

Just like a social worker who chooses to take a few days off before the New Year's holiday, it's mostly to get a few more days of rest.

Ichinose probably did it to give herself more time to prepare and face this, and tried her best not to affect the class.

Ichinose was probably affected by Sakayanagi's attack.

I'm not sure whether she can face this problem.

"well."

Hikigaya couldn't help but sigh.

Obviously she has a weak personality and doesn't like fighting, and she is not very strong. However, she is forced to stand in front of the stage for the sake of the class, her sense of responsibility is so heavy.

Ichinose is really admirable.
