Eventually, after peeking through the cafeteria door, I decided to go to the convenience store, bought so bread, and returned to the classroom.
A group of friends were eating with their desks next to each other, while there were various students quietly eating alone. The only thing common was that nearly everyone had a bento from either the convenience store or the cafeteria.
I was going to start eating when I saw that Horikita had already returned to her seat.
She had on her desk a sandwich that looked delicious.
I returned to my seat without saying anything.
When I was about to take my first bite of my bread, music started to play out of the speakers.
Today, at 5pm in gymnasium number 1, there will be a club fair. For those of you with an interest in clubs, please co to gymnasium number 1. I repeat, today
A girl with a cute voice made an announcent over the PA.
Clubs, huh. Ive never been in a club before.
Hey, Horikita
I have no interest in clubs.
& I didnt even ask anything yet.
Ok, then what?
Are you going to participate in any clubs?
Ayanokouji-kun. Do you have dentia? Or are you just an idiot? Didnt I say from the beginning that I have no interest in clubs?
Just because you dont have any interest doesnt an you wont participate.
Thats a frivolous argunt. Dont make that kind of pointless talk.
Ok&
Horikita has no interest in clubs or making friends. Whenever I talk to her, she looks annoyed. I wonder if she ca to this school just for the education or the high employnt rate.
It wouldnt be surprising if that was her only reason, but it seems unnatural.
You really dont have any friends, I see.
Thats wrong. Now I can talk to you pretty well.
You say that, but dont count
as one of your friends.
R-right, sure&
Since you want to go see the clubs, do you intend to enter any clubs?
No, Im still thinking about it. I probably wont join one though.
If youre not going to join a club, why are you going to the club fair? Strange. Are you using clubs as a pretext to make friends?
How is she so smart? No, its probably that Im too easy to understand.
Because I failed on the first day, clubs are my last chance to make any friends.
Isnt it fine to invite anyone other than ?
Its because I have no one else to invite that Im having trouble!
Thats true. However, I dont think that Ayanokouji-kun seriously ans the things you say. If you really wanted a friend, youd probably talk more earnestly.
Because thats not possible for , I tread the path of loneliness.
Horikita quietly resud eating her sandwich.
I cant really understand that kind of contradictory thinking.
I want friends, but I cant make friends. It seems that Horikita couldnt understand that.
Did you ever do any clubs?
No. I have no experience in any clubs.
Then do you have any experience with things outside of clubs? Oh, youre talking about sothing like this and that?
& What are you trying to say? I feel the malice behind your words.
Malice? I didnt even tell you what I was referring to though.
I received a chop to my side in a quick motion.
I reflexively coughed from her unexpected strength.
Hey, what was that for!?
Ayanokouji-kun. Ive warned you already, but it seems like you dont listen to what I say. Rember that Im capable of inflicting more pain than I just did.
No violence! Violence doesnt solve anything!
Really? Ever since the beginning of ti, violence has existed because it is the most efficient way of resolving problems. It is the fastest way of either getting your point across to the other party or ignoring the other partys desires. After all, even countries employ police who use weapons and violence to arrest people, right?
You sure talk a lot&
She gave
a grand speech, asserting that she did nothing wrong. Whenever she made a remark, she would say absurd things and use it to viciously retort.
From now on, I will use violence in order to fix the errors of your ways. How about it?
How would you feel if I said the sa thing to you?
I wonder why they call n who raise their hand against a won the lowest and cowardly.
It doesnt matter, because dont you think thatll never happen? After all, I never say sothing I shouldnt.
That was an answer that ca far out of left field. She seems to believe that shes never wrong.
Even though she looks and acts in a civil manner, shes an on the inside.
I got it, I got it. Ill be really careful from now on.
Giving up on inviting Horikita, I looked out the window. Ah, the weathers good today.
Club activities& is it. I see&
Horikita mumbled as she pondered over sothing.
Only a bit after school is ok, right? Ill go with you.
What do you an by that?
Didnt you say it yourself? That you wanted to go to the club fair.
Oh, right. I never intended to stay long. After all, I was only looking for an excuse. Is that fine?
If its only for a short while. Then, Ill see you after school.
After that, she resud eating. Looks like she decided to go along with my attempt to make more friends.
Earlier I said that she was unpleasant to talk to, but her attitude seems to be taking a turn for the better.
Looking at you trying to make friends and failing sounds interesting.
Never mind, shes still unpleasant.
