COTE Reacts

3 Legged Race

One is the existence known as Horikita Suzune, who willbecome an indispensable existence to this class in the future.

Horikita: ( Oh? Is that why he's been observing me since the beginning of school? No no, that doesn't make sense, how would he have known what I will be that early? And does this mean he's acknowledged me now? In the future huh, really, just what is your end game.)

Ryuuen: Kuku.

Sakayanagi: Fufu, seems like you picked something up?

Ryuuen: Hm, maybe I just seem to be understanding the monster more, who knows.

Katsuragi: You are!?

Ryuuen: No, not his other personality, that's up to you. Just his usual self. Well, maybe just a tiny bit of it at least.

Kanzaki: I don't think you can really describe his persona.

Ryuuen: Of course you, can't.

Kanzaki: Well forget about that for now, what's up with Horikita becoming? Was she already not? Was she useless in his mind? What?

Ryuuen: Aren't you getting dumber and dumber, well it is to be expected, we'll probably be seeing you in class D very soon, Kuku.

Sakayanagi: Fufu, what Kiyotaka-kun is saying, is that she'll mature into a leader that's important for the class.

Kei: ( Ahh mouuu, not her, stop being obsessed with Kiyotaka! That smile, what scary ideas are behind that smug face!)

Ichinose: ( Ah! We talked about this, Ryuuen and Horikita both have become better leaders for their class, but Kiyotaka has also helped me quite a bit, an-and yet I-No, no, I can't think negatively, I have to do what's best for my class going forward! And then we'll meet again, like last year, just me and h-him!)

Koenji: My, you just keep making new nicknames for yourself, babysitter-kun.

(I-ugh.)

Keisei: (Babysitting Horikita! W-what?)

Horikita: (So I have potential;? Is that why he paid attention to me from the beginning of the year? Ugh, I'm gonna know for sure, just wait.)

Ever since the first day, Horikita has changed her partner many timesover and challenged the three-legged race but each and every timeshe ends up quarreling with her partners and ending theirpartnership.

Horikita: (Oh, of course, it'll be this.)

Eventually in the end, she decided to challenge the actual eventwith the girl who she had gotten the best time with but even thattime is still a worrisome one. But now she's no longer practicingand instead silently spent her time alone."Do you have a moment?"."What's the matter?".Perhaps it's the fault of the stress she accumulated from thethree-legged race but she's slightly thornier than usual.

Horikita: (Thornier than usual, what am I, a cactus?)

"I think it'll do you good if you remember to compromise a bit".I've been keeping an eye on her recent practice but I couldn'tsee any signs of improvement at all. It was clearly obvious that

Horikita's overwhelming personality was getting in her way.

Matsushita: ( What is this, a three-way stalk triangle? Next thing we know Horikita's stalking me, wait, they wouldn't think, no no I'm just being paranoid. Wait, Ayanokoji became my seatmate, it must be some kind of seatmate thing, hahaha.)
