After I exchanged contact with Horikita, she sent me 1,000 points.
"I don't want to owe you any favour."
I shrugged. Pestering her will just make her more angry.
Still, I am curious about this Ayanokoji. Why would Horikita interact with him? Merely because she sits beside him?
He seems like a weirdo to me. Even after she blurted out that she doesn't have anything to shave down there, his expression didn't change at all.
He definitely is abnormal.
I searched Ayanokoji on Google, since it's a surname I have never heard. Maybe he is some bigshot like Koenji?
Ayanokoji Atsuomi is the most prominent figure in the search results. A politician.
Not much information is available about him.
Maybe they are related? That's why Ayanokoji is able to keep a straight face? He must have a lot of experience with all sorts of girls, or is hardcore gay.
I looked back, where he was looking at free stuff.
...Free stuff?
This means that we wouldn't be getting 100,000 points afterall.
Anyway.
"Hey Ayanokoji, are you related to Ayanokoji Atsuomi?"
"No."
"Then, do you have a lot of experience with all sorts of girls?"
"...I talked to a girl today after 4-5 years."
"Then, are you gay or something?"
"I have not really felt attraction to anyone in my life."
...So he must be some sort of psycho.
"Just stay away from Horikita from now on. If you try to take advantage of her naivety, I will beat you up."
Horikita came over and glared at me.
"Who do you think you are? Making such decisions for me? Stop poking your nose in my business."
"I am just trying to keep you away from danger. His expression didn't change one bit when you said that embarassing stuff. Look, he is not reacting even though I am saying things in front of him."
"My facial muscles are just dead."
Yeah. I don't believe it one bit.
"Horikita, in any case, stay away from him. He might be a psycho as well."
"I am not a psycho."
Exactly what a psycho will say.
"In any case, change your seat and stay away from him."
Horikita glared at me.
"I said, stop making decisions for me."
I ignored her and transfered another 1000 point to Ayanokoji.
"I will come tomorrow to see if you have changed your seat. Just because she is embarassingly naive and narrow minded doesn't mean that she is an easy girl.
Her brother is Student Council President, so you better stay away from her."
Horikita suddenly grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the convenience store.
"Didn't I say that since we are in different class, don't show your face? Why do you keep interfering in my life!? Just leave me alone."
"Tomorrow, when he changes his seat, don't forcefully get a new seat beside him just to spite me. It will spread bad rumours about you."
"I don't care about stupid things as rumours."
"But I care. So, just don't get involved with that dangerous guy."
"...Don't tell me you are jealous?"
"Shut up. You think too highly of yourself. I mean, we aren't even friends. Why will I get jealous?"
She really is too arrogant.
"...Then why do you keep larping about us being childhood friends?"
"Because you are too pitiful. Your parents and brother are too scummy. And with how warped your worldview is and how you act, if I don't do anything, someone will stab you one day."
"Stop slandering my brother! And I can defend myself, so no need to concern yourself with me."
"Martial arts are nothing in front of a knife, Horikita. There are too many psychos running around. So, stay away from Kushida as well. Who knows what she will try."
"Who is Kushida?"
"..."
And she says to not interfere in her life. She has no idea about her surroundings at all.
I could only sigh. Well, that's just how she is.
"I am leaving. And since your brother won't even say congratulations for getting 3rd rank in the entrance exam, I will say it. You worked hard. Congratulations."
"I don't need your congratulations!"
"Yeah yeah."
I shrugged and started heading to the dorms.
She really pisses me off.
I will just go to my room and sleep for some hours. Supplies can wait.
I got the key card and room number, 402, and waited for the elevator.
"Fufu~ What a coincidence, Hajime-kun."
Sakayanagi came over and stood beside me.
...This girl is seriously creepy.
Why does it feel like this school has an over-abundance of psychos?
In any case, it's best to not interact with stalkers at all.
Since she uses a cane to walk, I stopped waiting for the elevator and took the stairs.
And while I was going away while ignoring her, I heard a sharp stomp on the ground with her cane.
I looked back, and she was smiling as if nothing happened.
"There is a guy named Ayanokoji Kiyotaka in class 1-D. He is far more interesting, so go play with him. Don't bother me."
I said, hoping that she will go bother that psycho instead and keep him away from Horikita as well.
But for some reason, her smug expression faltered for the first time. I think I saw her surprised.
She knows him?
As expected, Ayanokoji is a troublesome guy that should be avoided at all costs.
I sighed and headed to my room.
