Oreki Houtarou's Strength-First Classroom

"found it!"

Her left hand was raised, and the book was on the top shelf.

She is a cute type of girl.

And I'm not too tall, so I can't reach the book even if I stand on tiptoes. It seems a little difficult.

But this time.

The book numbered J4568 was moved, no, it was held by someone.

Then the person seemed to hand the book directly to her.

"Ah, thank you~"

Kushida-san immediately showed a cute smile.

However, when he turned around, he froze.

Because he was not an ordinary tall boy who appeared in front of her. On the contrary, this boy's appearance was quite outstanding.

He has short, slightly fluffy black hair and dark green, clear pupils.

"It seems that we have the same idea." The boy with outstanding appearance said. "Now, can we talk in another place?"

"When you were retrieving fingerprints just now, someone saw you. After all, retrieving fingerprints makes people care a lot."

"I came here through her introduction." Oreki-san said.

"..." Kushida.

Little Kushida instantly felt that he had made a mistake.

…

then.

They changed venues.

The location is a dormitory.

It's just a girls' dormitory.

The dormitories for first-year students are all on the same floor, while the dormitories for Oreki and the other boys are on the 1st to 3rd floors.

For girls, this is floors 4-7.

Kushida-san is in 606.

It should be said that this number is quite good and makes people feel very lucky.

But for Kushida-san——this is not a good thing.

After coming out of the library, the two separated, and then reunited here after 10 minutes.

Oreki-san took a look at the layout of Kushida's room.

The structure of the dormitory was the same as his, but the girls seemed to have decorated the room more.

For example, I would put up wallpaper that I like, and then decorate the room to look like, ah, this is like a girls’ dormitory.

Kushida's room got some cute decorations.

For example, there is a brown bear on her bed.

And he also noticed that there were several pairs of girls' slippers used by guests at the entrance.

In other words, Kushida-san actually invited other girls in the dormitory.

He is a very good and adaptable person in communication.

but.

It would be nice if such a lovely person didn't stare at people with an indifferent and cold look.

"Then let's show it off," Oreki-san said. "If you look for books on fingerprints, you should have realized that leaving fingerprints on clothes is very unreliable."

"One can only detect fingerprints on smooth surfaces."

"At the same time, the gaps between the fibers woven into school uniforms are even close to the gaps between fingerprints."

"So, Kushida-san, I'm here to inform you that it's impossible to leave fingerprints on your hands," Oreki-san said.

"Then how do you want to deal with it?" Kushida-san said in the black Kushida state. "Or what are your requirements."

It seemed that after being exposed, he gave up on the plan of laying fingerprints and wanted to make another compromise.

but.

"Don't think about anything too extreme."

Oreki-san said. "Don't even think about recording something negative about me."

Then.

Oreki-san opened the address book and opened Kushida's phone number.

soon.

The first thing that appeared was a beep indicating that the recording was interrupted due to an incoming call.

This proves that Kushida just tried recording.

In other words, if you feel that your fingerprints are cold, what should you do to remedy them?

It seemed that as the days passed, her wisdom became a little more stable.

"So, you came to me specifically. What unreasonable request do you want to make?" Kushida Kikyo said in a colder tone.

"It seems you understand quite well." Oreki said. "Actually, I'm not an excessive person."

"Oh." Kushida listened first.

"I just want to press the fingerprint again." Oreki-san said honestly.

"How can it be!"

Kushida said immediately. "I was already ashamed before and I won't do it again."

In fact, this can be regarded as protecting yourself.

Let Oreki not put forward more extreme conditions.

but.

"But you made me understand my weakness. I'm not good at dealing with girls." Oreki-san said.

profound.

So you have to use her to adapt to girls?

A good-looking boy would actually say such shameless words with a 37-degree mouth.

And it was her who made him understand, so it was her fault! ?

but.

"It can't be done, no. I don't want it." Kushida immediately refused.

Although there was a risk, Kushida felt that even if there were no restrictions on each other, Oreki Houtarou would probably not tell them.

Because Kushida didn't see disgust in his eyes, which meant that he didn't actually hate her current true state.

Realizing this made Kushida feel very strange.

"Then you should always live in the mood that your true identity may be exposed." Oreki-san said without mercy, "You have to know that your search for fingerprints just now has attracted the attention of others."

"Then she follows you or pays attention to you out of curiosity."

"So then it won't be me, but many people who will care about you."

"Suddenly being entangled in so many troubles, you can't release the pressure in your heart."

"So, the probability of being discovered by kicking the lever again is as high as 70%." Oreki analyzed.

"..." Kushida.

day.

So I should have waited until Shiina-san finished using the computer before searching.

As a result, it has now become...his own trouble.

And that's true.

She wants to be everyone's friend and have good memories.

But if everyone discovers his true appearance... I'm afraid he will have to——

"..."

Kushida then closed his eyes.

He seemed to have accepted his fate.

And Oreki made a request.

"Seven times a week, okay?"

Judging from the situation of pressing a fingerprint and then having dreams and random thoughts for four consecutive nights, he didn't think that one time could improve his girl's resistance.

There are seven days in a week, and he can accept 10-20 minutes to adapt every day.

but.

"Impossible!" Kushida immediately refused. If he pressed his fingerprints every day, he would be ashamed to death.

"Once a week at most," she said.

profound.

Once a week.

In fact, Oreki thought about seven times a week, and depending on his own efficiency, the week might be over.

And once a week, Kushida-san hasn’t added a deadline yet, so it seems that it can give more preparation time.

"Okay." Oreki-san agreed.

"So--"

Oreki-san seemed a little embarrassed.

And this look was a sign that Kushida knew the moment he saw him that he was not good at getting along with girls.

So, the two of them sat down next to Kushida-san's bed.

but.

"Then..." Kushida-san put one hand on his chest. "Oreki-san, do you want to know my past?"

"About the reason why I've always wanted to get in touch with Horikita Suzune."

Kushida suddenly lifted his black Kushida state and became pitiful again.

but.

"I don't want to." Oreki-san quickly refused. "It would be very troublesome if I knew."

"I just want you to improve my weaknesses, instead of helping you deal with troublesome things or getting entangled in your troublesome things."

"..." Kushida.

In other words, Nima, do you just want to touch your body and not care about your heart at all?

Unfortunately, she felt a lot of pressure inside and kicked the railing to be sealed. However, if she wrote a diary, some friends would come to her dormitory.

Although you can buy a small cabinet with a lock to lock the diary.

But after all, it is a genuine text, so there is a risk of being discovered.

So this kind of thing... is still not a good plan.

But when asked to give up her current lifestyle, she refused.

so.

With such a price to pay, she thought she might be able to take advantage of Houtaro Oreki.
