Although she was very angry, after exchanging a glance with the boy, Kikyo Kushida did not lose her temper on the spot. Instead, she chose to take the drink.
Feeling the cool touch in her hand, her mind, which had just been filled with anger, became clearer.
"So, Kushida-san made a special trip to wait for me at my dormitory door. I guess he has something to say." Hashima Hikaru took a sip of his drink and leaned back on his stool.
"What is your relationship with Horikita?"
Seeing the other person's contented look, there was no gentleness in Kushida Kikyo's tone.
"I think I answered this question last time?"
Hashima Hikaru's expression was very calm. He looked at the short-haired girl who was sitting on his bed. There was no expression on her pretty face. She pursed her lips tightly, and her purple-red eyes flashed with a sharp light.
"Of course Horikita and I are classmates. Is there any other possibility?"
"I want to hear the real answer. From the last time we ran into you in the cafe, to now you've taken the initiative to come to Class C to find her," Kushida Kikyo said with a sneer on her face. "If you were just an ordinary classmate, would you have done this?"
"Well, maybe it's a little closer than a classmate relationship..."
While observing the other person's expression, Hashima Hikaru adjusted his remarks.
"But she and I haven't become friends yet," the boy said with a wry smile, "That's what Horikita said herself. It's still quite difficult to be friends with her."
"...Yeah?"
After seeing that scene this afternoon, Kikyo Kushida was actually shocked and angry.
What shocked him was the worry about the relationship between Horikita Suzune and Hashima Hikaru. If they were really close in private, what would he do if the other party leaked the secret to him?
What made me angry was Hashima Hikaru's performance. Although he had always said that he would never lie to me, his attitude was contrary to that.
If they were just classmates, how could Horikita Suzune be so cooperative?
"Of course it is. Has Kushida forgotten? I was helping you get closer to Horikita before," Hikaru Hashima paused, a smile on his lips, "but Kushida still hasn't become friends with her, has he?"
"..."
"Speaking of this, I actually have a question."
Hashima Hikaru thought about it, then stood up from the chair and sat directly next to Kushida Kikyo.
In every contact with Kushida, although it seems that Hashima Hikari is cooperating with the short-haired girl's ideas, due to the information gap, the initiative is actually always in the hands of the boy, and the other party does not know that she is being led by him.
The change in Kikyo Kushida's attitude has always been related to Horikita Suzune, so just as Hashima Hikaru guessed, if we operate from this angle, there will always be an effect.
If you want to get rid of her, you have to give her a way out and push her forward. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if she gets stuck there.
"What questions?"
Looking at the boy sitting next to her, Kushida Kikyo was a little surprised. This distance had exceeded the safe distance for contact between people. She could even feel the masculine scent coming from Hashima Hikaru.
But for some reason, the short-haired girl did not reject close contact with him. After realizing this in her heart, she was even a little frightened.
Although Kikyo Kushida is the most popular person in the class, she never gives anyone the opportunity to take advantage of her. Even the boys she chats with often have to keep a distance of at least one meter from each other.
Now the girl could feel the other person's body temperature on her shoulder, which immediately made her heart tremble slightly.
However, Kushida couldn't care less about these things now. What was more important was to find out Hashima Hikaru's attitude.
"It's actually very simple. The reason why Kushida-san and I became friends was because of Horikita-san. In the process of helping you get closer, Kushida-san and I got to know each other and became closer."
"But now I just got a little closer to Horikita-san, and Kushida-san had such a big reaction. Why is that?"
After saying this softly, Hashima Hikaru turned his head and stared at the face of the girl beside him.
"..."
"And that night..."
After seeing the girl remain silent, Hashima Hikaru added fuel to the fire and raised his eyebrows to hint at what happened that night when the "handprints" were taken. He heard Kushida's swearing, and the target of the attack was Horikita Suzune.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
After hearing these words, although she was panicked, Kushida Kikyo suppressed her emotions and continued to pretend to be calm as she asked her questions.
"Then I'll make a bold analysis."
Hashima Hikaru smiled. This guy was indeed an extremely awkward person. Even though his abilities had been exposed so obviously, he still wanted to take the initiative.
"My guess is that Kushida-san really wants to get along with Horikita-san, but because Horikita-san is so difficult to deal with, no matter how hard he tries to help her, it's still difficult to get along with her."
"So that night, Kushida-san had pent-up emotions that she couldn't release, which led to her actions," Hashima Hikaru began to offer the steps. "And now you see Horikita-san and I getting quite close, and that imbalance has been amplified, making Kushida-san a little angry."
"That's why you came to question me, wanting to know if Horikita and I were friends before you."
"What do you think? Is my analysis correct?" Hikaru Hashima put on a smug look on his face and showed it to the girl next to him.
Anyway, I've given you the steps now, it depends on whether you are willing to walk down from here.
After saying this nonsense, the boy clearly felt that Kushida Kikyo beside him seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he could feel her body softening a lot where their shoulders touched.
I guess she was always tense before.
"As expected, I can't hide it from Hashima-san. This is actually what I'm thinking."
After listening to Hashima Hikaru's analysis, Kushida Kikyo found that he was actually right in part, but all the key points were wrong, so knowing this guess was a good stepping stone.
The short-haired girl's pretty face regained a soft expression, and her tone was a little frustrated: "Even though I've tried so hard, I still can't get closer to Horikita-san. I feel very distressed."
"Well, this is probably Horikita-san's personality. It won't be easy to become friends with her."
Looking at the expression on her face, Hashima Hikaru smiled in his heart. In a sense, dealing with this Kushida-san would be quite easy as long as he found the right direction.
"So what did you guys just talk about?"
After his attitude changed, Kushida took the initiative to move closer to Hashima Hikaru, and besides his shoulders, even his slender arms were pressed against the boy.
Anyway, this girl is still useful, so just consider it as a benefit for her.
The short-haired girl, her heart already racing, leaned forward and asked, "I want to know what Horikita-san and Hashima-san were talking about."
"Well..."
Feeling the sweet aroma lingering around his nose, Hashima Hikaru paused and made up a random excuse to reply, "Actually, it's about the midterm exam. Since Horikita-san's grades are so good, I wanted to ask him how he usually studies."
"Hey, is that so?"
Hearing this, a strange light flashed in Kushida's eyes. She thought for a moment, then said, "If it's about the midterm exam, our class has actually come up with a very good solution."
"Hey, is this about how to review? Or organizing practice tests?"
This answer surprised Hashima Hikaru, so he immediately asked.
Looking at the expression on the boy's face, a new idea suddenly popped up in Kushida Kikyo's mind.
After witnessing the second contact between Hashima Hikaru and Horikita Suzune, she was actually in a state of extreme anxiety.
If she wanted to completely eliminate the hidden danger of the secret being leaked, the best way would be to simply let Horikita Suzune drop out of school, but this was difficult to do and she had no specific ideas yet.
Taking a step back, Kikyo Kushida felt that if this woman didn't have any friends for three years, perhaps her secret would still be safer.
Therefore, we must stop Hashima from getting closer to her, otherwise, with this guy's ability, he might really become friends with that woman Horikita one day.
This is something that Kushida Kikyo absolutely cannot accept.
And now there was just such an opportunity, so the short-haired girl immediately became serious. She looked at Hashima Hikaru across from her and said, "Before I answer Hashima-san's question, I actually have something else I want to tell you."
"what's up?"
Gazing at Kushida Kikyo's expression and the light gradually brightening in her eyes, Hashima Hikaru immediately understood.
Oh, does this mean you want to take the initiative?
Then let me play with you.
See what tricks you have.
Chapter 105: Kushida's New Use
Seeing Hashima Hikaru's puzzled look, Kushida Kikyo began to explain.
"I actually still really want to be friends with Horikita-san, so I plan to keep working hard to get closer to her."
Kushida stared into the other person's eyes and spoke slowly: "But since Hashima-san and Horikita-san are already somewhat familiar with each other, could you please wait for me for a moment?"
"Wait for you?"
After pondering it for a moment, Mitsuru Hashima immediately understood what this guy meant.
Do you want me to stop contacting Horikita Suzune?
"Yes, my dream is to become friends with everyone, and right now my goal is Horikita-san," Kushida Kikyo explained, leaning on the boy's shoulder with a hint of resentment in her tone, "I don't want to be left out by you two, so I want to catch up with Hashima-san."
"Hashima-san, can you promise me that after I successfully become friends with Horikita-san, I will help you two get closer, so that we can all become friends."
This was a test from Kikyo Kushida, and also the exchange of interests she had just thought of.
"Heh, if I don't agree, then Kushida-san has decided not to answer my question just now?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Hashima Hikaru's mouth. He immediately understood what this guy was planning. He was going to use the information about his class to tempt him into agreeing not to continue contacting Horikita Suzune in the future.
To her, Horikita Suzune is more important than class competition?
"Hashima-san, you're so mean! I didn't say that. I was asking for your help."
After realizing that the other party had understood what she meant, Kushida patted Hashima Hikaru's arm coquettishly, but there was no warmth in her eyes. Instead, she stared at the boy's face, wanting to see what his attitude was.
"Okay, I agree to wait for Kushida-san."
Hashima Hikaru nodded and continued, "I don't actually interact that much with Horikita-san. After all, she's the type of person who doesn't like other people getting close to her. If she asks about studies, that's fine, but she won't pay attention to anything else."
"Since Kushida-san wants to continue getting closer to her, I will always support you."
"Well, thank you, Hashima-san. I will work hard and make sure to become friends with Horikita-san."
After seeing the other party agree, the girl nodded firmly.
Afterwards, Kikyo Kushida was ready to tell the other party what she had just thought of. Words alone were not enough to make her feel at ease, so she planned to use a contract to limit the other party's guarantee.
But what Kikyo Kushida didn't expect was that the person who spoke next was Hikaru Hashima on the opposite side.
"Actually, I have another idea..."
"If I just give you a verbal promise, I'm afraid Kushida-san won't be able to believe it."
When Hashima Hikaru saw the eager look of the short-haired girl, he immediately understood that she might want to use some means to restrict himself from fulfilling the agreement. After all, that night the other party had decisively used the "fingerprint" operation to keep his secret.
Now that I have taken the initiative to provide information, how can she be reassured by just a verbal agreement?
However, Hashima Hikaru has no intention of giving up the initiative, so she wants to threaten her with words so that Kushida can only accept such an agreement.
"How about, to reassure Kushida-san, let's make a contract. I promise that after you tell me the information, I will fulfill my promise and stop looking for Horikita-san."
"When we become friends with Horikita-san in the future, maybe we can tell her about this interesting story."
Hashima Hikaru seemed to be saying it casually, but out of the corner of his eye he began to observe the other person's expression.
The implication of this sentence is quite obvious. Since Kushida Kikyo cares so much about Horikita Suzune, it must mean that she and the other party have a very deep entanglement.
She didn't want to have any contact with Horikita Suzune, probably to avoid hearing anything from her.
Therefore, if any restrictions are really proposed at this time, it will only make the situation more obvious, which is completely contrary to the attitude of wanting to make friends just now.
What do you think? Do you dare to bring it up?
After hearing this, Kushida Kikyo was shocked. She suddenly realized that she seemed to have thought wrongly. If she proposed a contract to restrict the other party now, how would she explain her urgent attitude?
If Hashima Hikaru really starts to doubt her past with Horikita Suzune, then everything will fall completely out of Kushida Kikyo's control.
She didn't dare to gamble at all!
After quickly going over the situation in her mind, Kushida Kikyo put on a gentle smile and took over the conversation, saying, "No need. I believe in Hashima-san's promise. There's no need for any contract. I just asked you to wait for me. I will work hard to establish a good relationship with Horikita-san."
"Well then, everything will be done as Kushida-san wishes."
After seeing the other party retreat, Hashima Hikaru smiled in his heart. This was the advantage of having the information gap. Since Kushida cared so much about the situation on Horikita Suzune's side, he would definitely not dare to take any risks.
"Then, Kushida-san, can you tell me how your class is coping with the midterm exam? The pressure of studying has been really high these days. It would be great if there was a way to make it easier."
After completing this verbal "agreement", Hashima Hikaru looked at Kushida Kikyo again.
"Sure, this plan isn't complicated at all. But I'd like to ask if Hashima-san has ever interacted with seniors?"
Although Kikyo Kushida had just suffered a loss, she thought that since the deal had been proposed, there would be no point in making up a fake one now. It would be better to just do a favor, which might be useful in the future.
The girl herself doesn't really care about the class's stance, and most of her actions are for herself.
