Y/n POV

After Ibuki left i got out my hide spot

Seem likes she returned the key card

After picking up the key card, I lifted Horikita into my arms and took cover under the tree. I held her closely in my arms.

Horikita: Ngh...

Horikita let out a small sound. Slowly but surely, her eyes fluttered open.

Y/n: Awake?

Horikita: L/n..? Wh-Where am I? What are you... doing here?

Y/n: I found you passed out and brought you here.

Horikita: I ran after Ibuki-san, who stole the key card... But I couldn't get it back.

Y/n: I see

She chastised herself and closed her eyes, as if lamenting a situation in which she was powerless.

Horikita: Are you the one cause the arson?

Y/n: I'll explain everything later okay? For now Suzune, you should drop out. I'll figure out a way to handle Ibuki and the key card. You can't hold out any longer.

Horikita: We can't afford to lose any more points because of me.

Y/n: ...

Horikita: I don't have a choice. To reach Class A...

I sigh

Y/n: Why are you so obsessed with class A?

Horikita: It's all to gain my brother's acknowledgement.

Y/n: What good will having that do you? What is it you hope to do?

Horikita: I'm... responsible for all of it. If I'd had allies, we could have taken shifts to protect the card. But... since I don't have any friends like that... I brought this all to myself.

Horikita closed her eyes, as if lacking the strength to keep them open. Her grasp might have been weak, but I still felt it.

I embraced Horikita tightly.

Y/n: You're starting to feel like you need allies, then?

Horikita: I swear I'll make up for this failure. Even if I have to do it alone...

Y/n: You're not alone. And you can't do it alone. You're not that strong. Sorry to tell you.

Horikita: You're telling me to give up?

Y/n: I didn't say that

I looked down at Horikita, who lightly groaned against my chest.

Y/n: If you can't fight by yourself, fight with another. I'll help you.

Horikita: Again...i got save by you again just like back then...why you always made me like this...I distance with you because i realized that you are already out of my league. It's just me keep denying that...I'm sorry for everything i said to you. Y/n...i...i lo..ve you a lot...since the day you helped me...you teach me everything...i love you..Y/n

Y/n: ...

Shortly afterward, her energy was spent, and Suzune lost consciousness again.

Y/n: You did your very best, Suzune. Good work for hang in there. Now, rest well and leave the rest to me. And you're the second one can made me blush like this

I whispered softly before I had to carry her without anyone noticing. It would be easy to have her retire, but I didn't know which button on the wristwatch was for emergencies. Besides, if the helicopter were suddenly dispatched, the sound would reverberate in the area.
