Saiki Kusuo and The COTE

Chapter 37:Bookclub

[Did Horikita change her hairstyle?]

[Horikita with short hair..... It's pretty cute, and it feels even cuter than when she has long hair!]

　　
[It's so beautiful! Why did Horikita think about changing her hairstyle today?]

　　
Almost all the boys in the class moved their eyes to Horikita Suzune at the same time, but only Saiki Kusuo quickly turned his gaze away before he saw Horikita Suzune's muscle fibers and bones.

　　
[Is this bitch there to attract the attention of other people again? damn it!]

　　
Kushida Kikyo kept a smile on her face and also cast her eyes on Horikita Suzune.

　　
'Every day doesn't change a bit. ’

　　
Saiki complained in his heart.

　　
[Especially last night, were you mocking me like that yesterday? Sure enough, you know my past, I have to find a way to get you out of school!]

　　
'Wait, what do you say?'

　　
[I won't forget what happened yesterday, Horikita!]

　　
Saiki Kusuo was puzzled for about a fraction of a second, but soon realized what was going on.

　　
I'm afraid, Kushida Kikyo's deleted memory was filled by something related to Horikita Suzune, and nine times out of ten it was because her hatred for Horikita Suzune was too deep, causing her brain to fill in the memory of her conflict with Horikita Suzune..... That's why she continued to vent her emotions yesterday and kept cursing Horikita Suzune.

　　
All in all, due to the deletion of the memory, Kushida Kikyo's hostility towards Horikita Suzune seems to have deepened.

　　
Saiki Kusuo turned his head slightly, projecting his gaze out the window, pretending not to know anything.

　　
Suzune Horikita ignored the gaze of the others around her, and then returned to her seat.

　　
"Good morning. "

　　
As she passed by Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Saiki Kusuo, Horikita Suzune greeted the two and sat down.

　　
Ayanokouji turned his head and glanced at Horikita as if with some confusion.

　　
"What's with the look?"

　　
Horikita Suzune noticed Kiyotaka Ayanokouji's movements and glared at the other party in turn.

"Oh, nothing, it just feels like you're a little different today. "

Kiyotak shook his head and responded to the other party.

　　
As he had just said, Kiyotak could keenly sense that there was a change in Horikita.

[Horikita is the type who doesn't take the initiative to greet others.It's really strange today.] 】

　　
[Generally speaking, girls with long hair should not easily cut their hair short, it should seem that something has happened to be like this.] 】

　　
[I left Saiki's room at about the same time as Horikita last night, and it was getting late, and if anything was going to happen, it should have been after that, so what happened in those hours?]

Ayanokouji was curious about some of the changes in Horikita Suzune, and he thought that with Horikita's kind of personality, it would not be easy for her to change very significantly in a short period of time, even if it was Kiyotaka Ayanokouji himself, he was ready to spend time slowly cultivating Horikita and polishing it into something he could use.

　　
Horikita Suzune actually took the initiative to change, which shows that she must have experienced something very important.

　　
What could it be?

　　
Kiyotaka's brain was spinning rapidly, but he shouldn't have found the answer, even if he knew that Horikita Suzune had changed because of his brother, he wouldn't know what Saiki Kusuo had done in it.

　　
[The true meaning of solitude and loneliness..... What do you mean?]

　　
[I always thought that my brother would alienate me because of my lack of ability, so I wanted to distance myself from those who were incapable like my brother.....]

　　[Is this kind of thinking wrong in the end?]

　　
'Yosh!’

　　
Hearing Horikita Suzune's heart, Saiki Kusuo gave affirmation in his heart, and in this way, Horikita Suzune's attention should be slightly less on himself.

......

　Soon it was time for the end of school, and as agreed, several students went to the school library to tutor together.

I really don't want to waste time on these things, but now I can't say no, I can only hope that they can end this book club soon. ’

Thinking in his heart, Saiki followed a few other people to find a suitable seat in the library and sit down, while his eyes swept over everyone present.

　　
[In any case, it is necessary to improve the grades of several of them as soon as possible, and it is a thing that must be completed to be promoted to Class A. 】

　　
Thinking so, Horikita Suzune immediately took out the textbook and began to explain the course to the people present.

　　
[Is it still possible to give a lecture here in a serious manner, cutting your hair short to deliberately attract the attention of others?]

　　
[I'm so sad...... Kushida-san declined my invitation to watch a movie.....]

　　
【Horikita ..... It's pretty good-looking this way, and the appearance should be considered the top level in the class, right?]

　　
[What would I eat later.....]

　　
'It's just that Horikita is the only one who is serious about studying......

　　
Saiki was a little helpless, it seemed that everyone's mind was not on learning.

　　
At the same time, Saiki Kusuo was able to pick up some unfamiliar sounds.

　　[Are they also from Class C? They took the place of our class..... Damn it. 】

　　[Ryuen asked us to monitor their class and investigate information about their class. 】

　　
[The black-haired woman seems to be called Horikita Suzune, and the other girl is called Kushida Kikyo, and there are many people in our class who know her......]

　　
Saiki Kusuo shifted his gaze and saw the other side, in front of another desk not far away, there were several unfamiliar faces, observing this side with their peripheral vision.

　　
Just by listening to their mental activities, Saiki Kusuo could tell that they were students from Class D.

　　
'It seems that the man called Ryuen, did he really take action against our class?'

　　
[Someone around is secretly spying on us, is it a student from another class?]

Ayanokouji was also aware of the gaze projected on him—but his attention quickly returned to Saiki Kusuo.

　　[Just now, Saiki turned his head and glanced at those people, did he also notice it?]
