People are teaching, my love stock market just wants to be full

"..."

The smile on the short-haired girl's face froze on the spot. She originally thought that Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami should be the kind of harmless characters, but now it sounds like that is not the case at all.

Kushida, who has a wide social circle, thought about it and remembered that Shibata Sa should also be a student of Class B. Then why did Hajima Hikaru say that?

Is there any conflict with him?

The short-haired girl fell into deep thought, different thoughts began to converge in her mind, making it difficult for her to understand the other person's character.

After several seconds, Kushida reached out and patted his own face, then called out behind Hashima Hikaru.

"Hashima-san, I'm here."

"Ok?"

After seeing off the senior, Hikaru Hashima turned around and saw Kikyo Kushida in her private clothes. She seemed to have put on makeup and looked very cute.

"Good afternoon, Kushida-san. Your outfit suits you very well today."

"Thank you for the compliment, Hashima-san. You look very handsome today, too."

Kushida praised the boy opposite her generously, but in her heart she kept thinking about what Hashima Hikaru had just said. She felt that it was necessary to make a new judgment on this guy.

"Where is the seat Kushida-san has reserved?"

"Hashima-san, please follow me. The seat I chose is quite good."

Kushida invited the boy to go in together. She was very familiar with this family restaurant, so she knew which seats were more popular.

"I'll follow your instructions. After all, I'm here to eat for free today."

"Hehehe, I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

Hashima Hikaru couldn't help but glance at the street outside. The cafe was on the other side of the building. For some reason, he felt inexplicably uneasy. He didn't know what Ichinose Honami and Sakayanagi were talking about.

--

At this time, in the coffee shop on the next street, Ichinose Honami and Sakayanagi Arisu who was sitting opposite her had already sat down. Next to them was a tall girl with purple hair. She stood behind Sakayanagi, looking like a follower.

"Good afternoon, Ichinose-san. I wonder what you want to talk to me about today?" Sakayanagi greeted politely with an elegant demeanor.

"Sakayanagi-san is really straightforward. I thought we were going to exchange pleasantries."

Ichinose Honami smiled faintly. The girl's social skills were not weak. She had remained quiet during the point recovery plan because Hashima Hikaru was there, so she didn't want to interrupt the boy's train of thought.

"I have a rough guess about what Ichinose-san is thinking. Please tell me directly so I can confirm whether my guess is correct."

"Sakayanagi-san is truly outstanding. No wonder Hashima..."

Ichinose Honami found herself unconsciously wanting to mention the boy's name, so she paused, regrouped, and said, "Actually, I have a question for Sakayanagi-san."

"what is the problem?"

"I wonder what Sakayanagi-san thinks about forming an alliance? For example, let's form an alliance between our two classes and earn more class evaluation points together."

"Oh, my answer to this question is always only one."

A captivating smile appeared on Sakayanagi's delicate, doll-like face. She spoke in a calm tone, but her words were extremely overbearing.

"I don't need allies. Either I become a subordinate or an enemy. There is no third possibility."

"...is that so?"

Ichinose Honami was startled, but she pressed on, "But I heard that Katsuragi from your class is currently looking for allies. Don't you have any consensus?"

"It's just a child's play. It's consistent with Katsuragi-san's usual behavior. He always forms a team before taking action."

Sakayanagi didn't care at all whether she was talking to students from another class or not, and she didn't hesitate to comment on her classmates.

"Ichinose-san, don't hide anything from me. I know Katsuragi-san has approached your Class B about forming an alliance."

"..."

"If you're trying to gauge my stance, I've already given you the answer."

Sakayanagi looked at the pink-haired girl who had fallen silent, curled the corners of her mouth, and changed the subject: "Actually, I also have something I want to ask Ichinose-san. I wonder if you can answer me."

"What is it?"

"Does Hashima-san know that you invited me to meet you?"

Chapter 60 Kushida's Favorability

"Does Hashima-san know that you invited me to meet you?"

When Sakayanagi asked this question, Ichinose's expression changed instantly. She immediately thought of Hashima Hikaru's previous advice and replied, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with our meeting today, right?"

"Indeed."

Sakayanagi nodded slightly, but then said, "Ichinose-san is really cunning. I just answered your question, but you don't want to tell me anything. Isn't that a bit unfair?"

"I..."

Ichinose Honami felt a little speechless. Just when she was struggling with whether to speak or not, she heard Sakayanagi speaking again.

"It's okay, I'm just a little concerned. If Ichinose-san doesn't want to talk about it, forget it."

Sakayanagi took a sip of the coffee in front of her, her tone softening. "Since Ichinose-san feels it's difficult to answer some of these questions, let's talk about something more relaxing. It has nothing to do with class competition. Let's just treat it as a tea party between girls so we can get to know each other better."

"After all, I care about Ichinose-san. We are both leaders of our respective classes, so we're sure to find a lot in common."

"Sure, I don't know what Sakayanagi-san likes."

Hearing her say this, Ichinose Honami's demeanor perked up a lot. She wanted to take the initiative again. She had been being led by the silver-haired girl opposite her, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

At this time, Kamuro Masumi, who was standing behind Sakayanagi, sneered in her heart when she heard Sakayanagi say that she wanted to talk to Ichinose about some topics between girls.

If this little princess is really such a person, then why would I become her follower?

Really.

Kamuro looked up at Ichinose Honami across from him. The girl's aura was gentle and healing. At first glance, she looked like an angelic character that was welcomed by everyone. Unfortunately, such a person was like a simple child in front of Sakayanagi and was easily manipulated.

"I actually like all kinds of coffee. Does Ichinose-san have a favorite drink?"

Arisu Sakayanagi seemed to be really immersed in the tea party with Ichinose. She stretched out her small hand to hold the rim of the cup. Her snow-white skin seemed to merge into the white porcelain coffee cup, making it difficult to see the boundary.

"Drinks? I like oolong tea. It has a soothing flavor."

After feeling that Sakayanagi across from him had put away her stern aura, Ichinose's tense demeanor relaxed a lot and he started chatting with her.

"Oolong tea? I don't think I've ever had it before."

Sakayanagi looked at Kamuro Masumi next to her and asked softly, "Has Kamuro-san ever tried this?"

"I've tried it, and it tastes a bit bitter to me."

"Really?" Sakayanagi Arisu pretended to be a little regretful and said slowly, "What a pity. I don't really like bitter drinks."

"Hehe, Hashima-san doesn't like to drink either. Last time I offered him a drink he refused."

Ichinose said this almost off the cuff. She felt that mentioning the boy's preferences had nothing to do with class competition.

"It's just a little quirk of mine, don't worry about it, Sakayanagi-san."

"is it?"

Sakayanagi nodded slightly, and a glimmer of understanding immediately flashed in her purple eyes.

Of course, she agreed to meet Ichinose Honami today not to make friends, but to get information about Hashima Hikaru.

Apart from the one meeting when he sold the rules at the beginning of the school year, Arisu Sakayanagi had also heard his name from her father, so the girl had always been somewhat concerned about what kind of person this boy was.

Class B is the closest class to Class A. Sakayanagi knows that their leader is the pink-haired girl in front of her. However, although Hashima Hikaru is not the class leader, she has great influence.

The last time was a good example. The opponent almost fully represented the opinions of Class B, and Ichinose was just there as a support.

Despite having such outstanding abilities, Hikaru Hashima was willing to let Ichinose be the class leader. This was something Sakayanagi couldn't understand before, but after today's meeting, she seemed to understand something.

First, Hashima Hikaru and this Ichinose-san have a very good relationship, and you can tell from her tone that they are very close.

Second, Ichinose Honami is very easy to deal with, or in some ways surprisingly simple. This is her advantage in being able to unite her classmates, but also her most fatal flaw.

Standing behind it, Kamuro Masumi listened to the conversation between the two girls and understood a little bit. Although Sakayanagi said that it was a friendly tea party, she always tried to find out the information about Hashima classmate without leaving any trace.

And Ichinose on the opposite side cooperated very well and told it out. The process of obtaining information was really simple.

However, as she listened, Masumi Kamuro couldn't help but recall the scene of selling the rules on the first day of school.

I don't know what kind of person Hashima-san is, who could actually attract Sakayanagi's attention and even make her come to him to inquire about information.

--

"What do you like to eat, Hashima-san? You can order whatever you want." The short-haired girl handed the menu to Hashima Hikaru who was sitting opposite her with an eager look.

"I'm fine with anything. I'm not very picky about food."

After taking the menu, Hashima Hikaru began to move his fingers across it and quickly selected the dishes.

"Then choose these two."

Hashima Hikaru picked two relatively ordinary dishes so that the price of the meal would not be too expensive.

"Is that enough? I heard boys have big appetites. Do you want some more?"

"No, no, I can't take advantage of you, Kushida-san. After all, didn't you spend 50,000 personal points to buy the rules last time?" The boy smiled slightly and asked, "How is your class D doing now? Is the class order better?"

"Oh, it's really distressing to talk about this."

After Kushida handed the menu to the waiter, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.

"Everyone knows the school's in-depth rules, but some students still don't pay attention in class. They make small movements or can't help but fall asleep, even though Hirata-san has been emphasizing this."

"Kushida-san has been admonishing everyone all the time. He really thinks of others."

"These are all small things. I can do anything to help the class." The smile on Kushida Kikyo's face was very gentle, and her tone was full of concern for the class. No matter how you looked at her, she looked like an admirable little angel.

Unfortunately, after learning that the other party had a hidden side, the boy didn't buy it at all. He kept thinking about how to get closer to him.

As a famous socialite in the entire grade, Hikaru Hashima sometimes hears Kushida's name in Class B. If she simply tries to please or cater to him, she will most likely become an ordinary tool.

Also called a licking dog.

If he wants to get closer to Kushida, he must start from what she cares about. Hashima Hikaru thought of the information from the [Stock Analyzer] and planned to test it out first.

"Then that Horikita-san I met earlier, isn't she taking any action?" The boy deliberately mentioned Horikita Suzune's name, a hint of curiosity in his tone. "Since she's willing to spend so many personal points, she must be someone who works hard for the class like Kushida-san."

After these words were spoken, Hashima Hikaru saw that Kushida's expression suddenly became a little unnatural, but he still maintained a smile and replied.

"It's okay... Horikita-san usually likes to keep to herself, so she didn't show it much."

"Really? I thought she was quite positive."

"Actually, I'd really like to be friends with Horikita-san, but unfortunately I've never found a good opportunity." Kushida crossed her arms, a look of frustration on her pretty face. "If Horikita-san could enthusiastically serve the class, she would definitely be able to make a greater contribution."

Want to be friends with Horikita?

Hashima Hikaru was stunned. Didn't this guy want her to drop out of school? What kind of way was he going to make friends?

The boy felt a little confused about her thoughts, but since she had already expressed her opinion, he decided to start from there.

"Making friends is a good thing. After all, you are classmates. If you can establish a friendship, you can definitely help Class D together." Hashima Hikaru smiled and said in a gentle and comforting voice, "Since you haven't found the right opportunity, why not create one?"

"Create opportunities?" Kushida seemed a little curious, his eyes falling on Hashima Hikaru's face.

"Yes, Kushida-san invited me to dinner today, and I felt I had to do something. Since you brought it up, I'll help you make friends with Horikita-san."

"Hey, are Hashima-san and Horikita-san very familiar with each other?" There was still a smile in the short-haired girl's eyes, but there seemed to be no warmth in her eyes.

Hashima Hikaru shook his head and said, "Of course not. Horikita and I have only met once, so there's no way I know her very well. But I did think of a good idea."

"any solution?"

"Study session," Hashima Hikaru said word by word, "This is a very good format. It will definitely help you and Horikita-san get closer."

Chapter 61 My Acting Skills Are Better Than Yours

"Study club?"

Kushida Kikyo chewed these words in her mouth, as if thinking about how to proceed.
