The entrance ceremony was long and boring.
Many people in my class started talking and playing on their phones, which will surely lead to class points being cut.
Honestly, some blame is to the speakers as well, who seemed like they had an agenda to bore people to death.
After it ended, Hirata sitting beside me asked, "Horikita-san, can we talk?"
"Sorry, I have some business right now."
I think he wanted to talk about Kushida, but I don't want to waste my time on her. So I brushed him off and went to the stage, where Manabu and the rest of Student Council were taking off the decorations of the Entrance Ceremony.
"Manabu."
I called him out, and he looked back at me, surprised by me calling him by name.
"Suzune?"
"Oh! Do you know her President?"
Nagumo suddenly barged in on our conversation.
"She is my sister—"
"Can you not barge into other people's conversations? Go do your job."
"Ah, sorry sorry."
I scowled at Nagumo, and gave my phone to Manabu.
"Your number."
Manabu typed in his number, and I gave him a missed call.
Seems like he didn't give me a wrong number afterall.
"Anyway, come to my room after you are done with your work."
Saying that, I left for the dorms.
But since the convenience store was just in front of dorms building, I decided to buy some basic things like handwash and stuff first.
And while browsing through the store, I encountered Ayanokoji.
"Ah. You are here to shop as well?"
"No. To steal."
"Really?"
... This guy can't take a joke. Though my sense of humour isn't great, at the very least, it should be better than the so-called cringe masterpiece.
"You can't take a joke huh?"
"Horikita, you have a terrible sense of humour."
I don't if Horikita's instincts are taking over me, but I suddenly want to stab him with a compass.
"Speaking of which, that girl seems to want to steal."
He whispered and intentionally tried to divert my attention, and he was successful.
I subtly glanced at the alcohol section, and a purple hair girl was acting suspiciously. That's Kamuro from Class A huh?
I took out my phone, and pointed it at Ayanokoji.
"Can I record you?"
"Sure."
So, I started recording him, which started with a Stutter sound. And then, after making sure that Kamuro wasn't looking at us, I secretly began to film her.
Soon enough, she sneakily took a bear can and placed it in her bag, and left the store.
I saved the recording, and went to the store clerk after making sure that I recorded her.
"Excuse me, a student stole a bear can."
"Eh!? Really!? Let me check..."
The CCTV footage didn't really prove anything, that means that Kamuro is very experienced in this stuff.
So I showed him the recording.
"Thank you for reporting her. Can you send me the video?"
"Sure."
I trimmed the start and removed Ayanokoji from it, and sent the video to the clerk.
"Thanks for reporting the theif."
"That's what everyone should do. Anyway, can I get a 10% discount for today's purchase?"
"Hahaha. I will give you 20% discount. Buy everything to your heart!"
Being a pretty girl really has its benefits.
So now that I am getting 20% discount, might as well buy a lot of things.
I went back to Ayanokoji, and whispered, "Put what you want in my cart. I will get you 20% discount. Pay me back after we exit the store."
"Thank you."
So, I bought a handwash, along with five 1L pouches. There was a free one, but it is used in Hospitals and has a weird smell. Every free stuff are low quality, with cheap chemicals that are harmful in the long run. No way I am ruining my beauty with them just to save a few points.
"If we get that much points every month, why are there free stuff?"
"Ayanokoji, don't pretend. You are really bad at it. You noticed that Chabashira-sensei didn't say anything about how many points we will get every month, didn't you?"
"Really? I never noticed."
I scoffed at his bad acting. He is clearly trying to guide my suspicions just now, to hide behind me.
"Your favourite LN is The Eminence in Shadow huh?"
"I have never read LNs. Is it good?"
"Yeah."
I wonder if by reading it, will he be influenced by it and start trying to act even more Chunni, trying to become an Eminence in Shadow?
My first anime was Oregairu, so it influenced me a lot. In fact, since I saw it in my teenage years, my life-view has been really influenced by it. So I wonder how will he be influenced by it.
Will he try to form something like Shadow Garden or something?
Well, I will just watch from the sidelines, and drop 'That was all a part of my plan' on him if it happens.
"Hey, what do you think? Is this price high or low?"
He showed me cup noodles. 156 yen.
"It's normal."
"Oh."
He rummaged through the noodles section, and picked up a big one.
"Wow, this is enormous. It's a G Cup, huh?"
After saying that, he glanced at my chest. And he surely was having disgusting thoughts.
...
"Take out your stuff."
"Huh?"
"I said, take out your stuff. I am not allowing you to get the discount."
"Hey, why are you suddenly getting angry?"
"Don't act like you don't know why!"
I tried to kick him in a place where boys' desires come from, but he dodged pretty easily.
"What were you trying to do!?"
"Ending your future bloodline."
"...Sorry that I looked—"
"Yeah? You don't seem to be sorry at all. You know what? I can't be bothered to deal with a pervert like you at all. Go to the Student Council President tomorrow and get a beating from him.
I think that if I beat you up, you will end up enjoying yourself instead."
"What does that even mean? Why would I enjoy getting beaten up by you?"
I threw out his stuff from my shopping cart, and left.
Ayanokoji, don't think I will let you get away with it easily!
