Oreki-san didn’t come here to ask Ichinose for such a favor.

"If you understand, then things will be easier to talk about. So, how much do you know about that rumor?" Oreki said.

"Ahaha——" But Archangel Ichinose became nervous instantly, "Oreki-kun, your expression is a bit scary now. I think you understand, I did not participate in the spread of rumors——"

It seemed like she was having a hard time too.

She was worried that Oreki would come out to ask her if she was involved in this matter.

"Well, of course I know, I'm not doubting you."

"Yeah, that's great. I can see how much you value this matter." Ichinose breathed a sigh of relief.

"I want to know the source of the rumors," Oreki-san said. "I consulted Kushida-san, but she wouldn't tell me which class originally spread the rumor."

"That's it-"

Ichinose played with her hair gently.

"I have a lot of friends...but I don't like talking bad about others."

"but."

Ichinose said, "I have also investigated this matter."

With that said, she took out a small notebook from her pocket and opened it.

This shows that she has done her homework smartly, or that she wants to repay the favor to Oreki-san after finding out about it.

Ichinose-san was already prepared.

She opened the notebook.

"As far as I know, there are three main rumors among our first graders."

"The first one is that Horikita Suzune is the younger sister of the current student council president Horikita Manabu. The second one is that the student council president told her the previous test questions and the direction of the exam. The third one is that the student council president is planning to transfer 2000 to her when she graduates. Wan’s personal points were transferred to her.”

"Is that all?"

Rumors seem pretty normal.

But whether it is the first, second or third part, they all revolve around the relationship between Horikita and Horikita Manabu as siblings.

"That's all I have at the moment. I asked people in the class who heard this rumor from. I traced it back to Horikita-san's class, but after tracing it further, I found out that the source of the news was from Class D. No, it's already gone now. It’s Class C, so I heard it from people in Class C now.”

"Ryuuen-san discovered that Horikita-san had met in private with the student council president during the vacation, and then he speculated."

Among them, Kushida was only asked by him to spread rumors to the upperclassmen, so what Ichinose is talking about in the first grade has nothing to do with Kushida.

However.

Class D has now been promoted to Class C, which is the class of Hiyori and Ryuuen.

But Long Yuan has resigned and doesn't have the energy anymore.

So.

The only person who can be suspected is Hiyori Shiina.

After Hiyori-san fell down in Ryuuen, he climbed up.

But she basically gave up the hope of being promoted to Class A, but she didn't want to graduate just like that. And there are opportunities to make money in school. So I started working hard to make money.

That is to say.

You can do whatever it takes to get points.

Then it is possible to direct and act on your own, and then get points from Horikita-san on the pretext of helping to eliminate the current crisis.

Or you can confirm the information that Horikita-san is the sister of the student council president, participate in the student council election, and then get Horikita-san's trump card, or you can resell this trump card and get a good price.

Didi!

At this time, Oreki-san received a message from Karuizawa.

[Sato and I went to the cafeteria to bring food to Horikita-san, and then we found Shiina from Class C sneaking around Horikita-san’s door. ]

[Then we drove Shiina-san away. ]

OK

never mind.

You are still so fierce.

"It seems Hiyori Shiina from Class C is the mastermind." Oreki said. "Ryuuen has given up, so there are changes in their class."

"Is that so?" Ichinose nodded slightly. "Then what role did Oreki-san play in this rumor incident?"

"..." Oreki.

In other words, Ichinose's social network must also know that Oreki-san is arranging for Kushida to spread rumors to the upperclassmen.

So, he was involved in this.

At the same time, rumors spread from Ryuuen's class this time, and Ichinose and the others probably discovered Ryuuen's condition after a month of observation.

The relationship between Suzune Horikita and Manabu Horikita discovered by Ryuuen is obviously false.

So Long Yuan is just the one taking the blame.

So the matter seems to need to be investigated further.

"I think it's best that you don't know." Oreki-san said. "Because this is where your opinion of me will go down."

"Well, I understand." Archangel Ichinose nodded quickly. "So, how can I help now?"

"Yes." Oreki-san said. "I hope you will teach Horikita Suzune how to resolve rumors."

"This is her greatest weakness being attacked."

"Then it was the most helpless situation for her," Oreki-san said.

"Really?" Ichinose seemed a little melancholy when he heard this, "When the biggest weakness is attacked—then if it were me, then I might be more—" than Horikita-san.

"Ichinose?" Oreki-san looked over.

Ichinose seemed to have said something quite terrifying.

"Well, it's nothing." Archangel Ichinose shook his head quickly.

It's as if the statement just made does not exist.

Then the two of them walked towards the girls' dormitory together.

Horikita Suzune is staying in the dormitory at the moment.

Almost in a state of isolation.

After escaping from the classroom, she was sighing.

Sure enough, she still didn't make much progress.

She clearly knows what she needs to do, and she also clearly knows that there are so many good ways to deal with the current situation.

but.

She still escaped from the class.

She was absent from class yesterday, sitting in her room reflecting and thinking about possible remedies.

Since the enemy is Kushida, then use means to counterattack.

only.

Sure enough, even if she tried to pretend to ignore those rumors, it was useless. She did not dare to stay in the classroom at all, and was very worried that her immaturity would directly bring indelible slander to her brother.

She is still weak.

So immature.

She was quite annoying to both her classmates and herself today.

Those in the same class think about profit and convenience. As for her, she was still the one holding back her excellent brother because of her own weakness.

She hated herself like this.

Obviously I came here to follow in the footsteps of my outstanding brother, but now I am doing something that is holding me back.

Or.

She really should have dropped out of school as soon as she enrolled.

ah.

Oreki-san, it might be a failure for you to keep her.

Horikita pulled the quilt so that it covered his head.

The phone was on the bed, displaying a message she had already read.

[I will come to the dormitory to find you now. ] by Oreki Houtaro.

And this time.

"Ding dong——" The doorbell rang.

This made her sit up from under the quilt.

Karuizawa-san and Sato-san came here just now.

And Hiyori-san has also been here.

But Hiyori-san is here to ask for money.

She said that as long as she paid 1 million, her current predicament could be solved.

ah.

Sure enough, she is a waste.

Are you no longer able to handle it on your own?

She came to the door.

But instead of opening the door, he turned on the video intercom.

There is no ordinary dormitory, but last night she was alone in self-reflection. Oreki-san came and knocked on the door, but she did not respond, so he led the administrator to open her door and installed this video intercom.

The reason is that after the rumor spreads, some unsighted people may come and knock on her door, and installing a video intercom can be used to identify whether to open the door.

Considering that she was being taken care of by him again, she decided to cheer up today and went to the classroom.

In the end, he still ran out.

"..."

Every time, it was Oreki-san who helped her clean up the mess.

She is indeed a waste.

Horikita sighed inwardly, remembering that students in her class would sometimes ask her if Oreki-san from Class A was dating her.

And she understands it herself.

Oreki-san's requests from her have increased during this time.

And she didn't have many books left for him to take to the library and return.

perhaps.

Maybe she would just be kicked out of school, and if Oreki still wanted her, it would be better to just get married.

There was an empty feeling inside her.

Now let’s go meet Oreki-san.

The images of the incoming people have been collected and put on the small display screen.

She is a beautiful and upright girl with beautiful long hair.

This is... Ichinose-san.

Um? Where is Oreki-san?

Horikita leaned toward the visible probe.
