"I understand. Don't worry."

Ichinose Honami rubbed Hashima Hikaru's shoulder. She had concealed the fact that Arisu Sakayanagi had challenged her. Although this put a lot of pressure on her, the girl felt that she would not lose.

Memories gradually emerged in her mind, and Sakayanagi Arisu's words still lingered in Ichinose Honami's heart.

The silver-haired girl had a cold face and a condescending tone.

"You are not worthy of Hashima Hikaru at all. He is not suitable for you."

She clenched her fists, and her fighting spirit grew even stronger.

Chapter 505: Horikita Manabu: I'll leave Suzune's care to you.

As the only full-day rest day in the forest school activities, every student cherishes this day. Everyone either takes the time to rest or spends time and play with friends.

After Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami finished their lunch together, he stayed with her for a long time until night fell.

It was already January and it got dark early. After dinner, the boy sent his reluctant girlfriend to the door of the girls' school dormitory, and then returned to the dormitory to take a shower.

After finishing all these things, Hashima Hikaru knocked on the door of Horikita Manabu's room.

Although the man with glasses had expected this, he still couldn't help but ask questions as the boy led him deeper into the forest.

"Where are you taking me?"

"Because we have something very important to say, we need to find a quieter place,"

Without even turning his head, Hashima continued to lead the way. "Besides, there's another person who will also join our chat."

"who is it?"

Horikita Manabu followed Hashima Hikaru's footsteps, and after understanding the other party's intentions, his expression remained calm.

"You'll know when we get there, Horikita-senpai, right? Please keep your anticipation high."

Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly.

"Is it?"

The man's attitude did not change. He just nodded slightly and continued to follow Hashima Hikaru.

After walking for a few minutes, the two finally arrived at the place where the boy and Horikita Suzune had agreed to meet. When the familiar figure appeared in his sight, Horikita Manabu was stunned at first, but then quickly regained his composure.

"elder brother."

This time it was Horikita Suzune who took the initiative to talk to him. With Hashima Hikaru here, the girl's heart was filled with courage.

"It is you."

Horikita Manabu nodded, then asked.

"I'm really surprised you're here. What's your relationship with Hashima-kun now?"

"Uh……"

When this question was raised, Horikita Suzune's face turned pale, and Hashima Hikaru quickly took over the conversation and said, "Horikita and I are currently good friends."

"good friend?"

The sharp-eyed man first studied the face of his sister, who was still somewhat withdrawn. Although there was a subconscious weakness in her expression, there was also a hint of more resolute emotion.

This is a sign of her growth.

"Yeah, Horikita-san and I have known each other for so long, it's not surprising that we became friends, right?"

The young man smiled slightly. He stood beside the black-haired girl with a gentle expression. "Or does Horikita-senpai think this is not a good idea?"

"No, since we've already reached a cooperation, I'll leave it to Hashima-kun to decide how to handle this."

Horikita Manabu pushed his glasses up on his nose and said seriously, "To be honest, I'm very satisfied with what Hashima-kun did to see Suzune grow."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Hashima Hikaru responded with a smile, then looked at Horikita Suzune beside him and said, "I need to talk to Horikita-senpai about some serious business first. After we're done, the rest will be left to you. Please tell him your true thoughts, Horikita-san."

"Ah."

Horikita Suzune nodded seriously with a very gentle expression. After taking this scene in, Horikita Manabu looked at Hashima Hikaru deeply and didn't say much.

"Then let's get down to business. Let's go a few steps away and let Horikita stay here."

"can."

The two of them walked a distance to the side, while Horikita Suzune stayed where she was.

……

"So, what information did Hashima-kun want to tell me?"

Horikita Manabu asked about the highlight of today's meeting.

"I've figured out part of Nanyun Ya's plan. The person he intends to target is a girl."

Hikaru Hashima explains the information he heard from Kaede Kiryuin.

"Are you targeting girls?"

Horikita Manabu frowned slightly.

"That's right, and the target is Tachibana-senpai."

Hikaru Hashima remembered the purple-haired girl who had been inseparable from Horikita Manabu when they were in the student council.

"Orange?"

After hearing this name, Horikita Manabu thought about it for a while and understood what Hashima Hikaru meant.

"...His goal is private points?"

"That's right. Horikita-senpai's group is made up of the core members of Class A, Year 3. Even though they've added students from other classes, the overall control is very strong. If Nagumo tries to play tricks, the chances of him failing are slim, so the final result will definitely be good."

Hikaru Hashima followed up on the other person's words and explained, "Besides this direction, the girls in Horikita-senpai's class are taking the exam in a separate group, and they've also incorporated second-year girls into their group."

"If someone falls behind or something goes wrong, it will lead to a serious failure."

The boy stared at Horikita Manabu's face, "Horikita-senpai, do you know anything about this? Is Tachibana-senpai the [leader] of the group?"

"Yes."

Although boys and girls took separate exams, as the leader of the entire third grade, Horikita Manabu had many channels to collect information and knew who the [responsible person] was among the third grade students.

"Well, if the information I gathered is correct, then this must be his purpose."

Hashima Hikaru thought for a moment, "If just one student drops out, not only will we have to pay 300 million personal points, but the class will also lose points. This is definitely a huge blow."

"That's true. If the girls' team was really attacked, I wouldn't have been able to notice it in time."

Horikita Manabu took this exam very seriously. After all, this semester was his last time staying in this school, and the man wanted to make his final contribution to the grade.

"Well, but since we know about this plan in advance, we can counter it."

Hashima Hikaru smiled and said, "I have brought the information. I will leave it to Horikita-senpai to decide how to deal with it."

"Yes, this information is very valuable. Thank you, Hashima-kun."

"No need to thank me, aren't Horikita-senpai and I allies now?"

Hashima Hikaru spread his hands with a smile on his face.

But soon, Horikita Manabu's next words surprised him.

"What is your relationship with Lingyin?"

The man pushed his glasses up on his nose again and looked straight into Hashima Hikaru's eyes. "Except for friends."

"..."

Hashima Hikaru was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Why do you ask that, Horikita-senpai?"

"I'm just curious. If you don't want to tell me, I won't force you."

Horikita Manabu suddenly relaxed. He looked at Hashima Hikaru's handsome face and spoke slowly.

"Remember to take good care of her. Lingyin is in your care."

"..."

"I will."

Chapter 506: The unexpected betrayer.

After talking with Horikita Manabu, Hashima Hikaru and the other party walked back to Horikita Suzune.

"Okay, now it's my turn to stay aside. Horikita-san, go talk to him. I believe you can convey your thoughts."

Hashima Hikaru gently said to Horikita Suzune, "Anyway, isn't letting Horikita-senpai see your growth what you've been working towards all this time?"

"I will."

The black-haired girl nodded heavily and immediately walked towards her brother.

Horikita Manabu glanced at Hashima Hikaru who had a smile on his face. The last words he said were actually his true thoughts. After all, after he graduated, his sister would have to stay here for two years.

Although two years is not a long time, it is not a short time either. It is enough for a person to undergo earth-shaking changes.

Entrusting it to Hashima Hikaru is a very good choice.

This is not only because Horikita Manabu himself admires the boy, more importantly, it is Horikita Suzune's own decision.

From a long time ago, Horikita Manabu didn't want his sister to keep imitating him. He would only feel relieved if she could follow her heart and make choices.

"come on."

Horikita Manabu looked at his "useless" sister and said lightly.

"Ok."

Looking at the brother and sister in the distance, Hashima Hikaru's lips were always curled up in a faint smile.

To be honest, Horikita Manabu’s statement just now is worth thinking about.

Does this count as gaining the approval of my brother-in-law?

The boy touched his hair, a little unsure.

But all in all, things are pretty good, aren't they?

About five or six minutes later, Horikita Manabu and the black-haired girl came back again. Hashima Hikaru glanced at their expressions and felt that they must have had a good conversation.

"Well? Have you said everything?"

Hashima Hikaru looked at Horikita Suzune with a concerned expression.

"Well, I've already told my brother everything I need to say."

The black-haired girl nodded. It was obvious that she felt quite relaxed after expressing her inner thoughts.

"That's good."

"Hashima-kun."

Horikita Manabu, who was standing next to him, suddenly called out the boy's name.

"What's wrong? Horikita-senpai."

"I'll be going back now. You can take her back to the girls' dormitory later."

Horikita Manabu stared into the other person's eyes, as if giving an order.

"Yeah, I will."

After the man, who appeared cold but had a rich inner world, walked away, Hikaru Hashima looked at the girl in front of him and said gently, "After expressing your inner thoughts, Suzune should feel good now, right?"

"Yes, I told my brother about my goals and ideas, and he agreed with my decision."

The black-haired girl said seriously, "Not only that, he also said he would prepare a gift for me before graduation."

"Gift?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, but soon felt relieved.
