Kamio Tatsuya was just about to leave the room when Karuizawa Kei stopped him.
To be honest, he found it a little strange. He didn't understand why Karuizawa would stop him. They shouldn't have any connection.
"Yes?"
Kamio Tatsuya looked at Karuizawa strangely, because Karuizawa herself was strange.
"Thank you for what happened today."
After saying that, Karuizawa quickly left the Rabbit group room.
Karuizawa...was thanking me?
Is she the kind of person who thanks others?
Speaking of which, she looked at me several times during the discussion earlier. Is that why?
Interesting...
Maybe I can get to know her better sometime. She might be a good pawn.
After the discussion, Karuizawa went straight back to her room.
Because she ran back, she was a little sweaty.
Splash...
Warm water fell from the showerhead, landing on Karuizawa's head, temporarily calming her uneasy mood.
"This is awful..."
Karuizawa's low mutter was full of regret, pain, and fear.
As the one who controls half of the girls in Class D, Karuizawa is undoubtedly a person of high status in the eyes of ordinary people.
But she knows very well that more than half of her status comes from Hirata.
Those girls are only willing to listen to her, Hirata's girlfriend, because of Hirata's reputation.
But she knows the truth very well.
She is not Hirata's girlfriend at all. It's just that Hirata is helping her and creating a shield for her to protect her.
And today, she encountered an enemy that her shield couldn't stop - Manabe Shiho from Class C.
In order to maintain her image as a strong person, Karuizawa needs weak people to show her status by bullying them.
And Rika, who looked timid, was the one Karuizawa Kei chose.
So she really did bully that girl named Rika, and in front of her classmates.
But she didn't expect that the seemingly timid Rika had a friend named Manabe Shiho, a very difficult woman.
More difficult than Karuizawa's image shows.
If Kamio Tatsuya hadn't come out to mediate the situation today, Karuizawa would have been driven to a dead end by Manabe Shiho.
So she chose to thank Kamio Tatsuya when no one else was around.
Karuizawa knows herself very well. She knows her strengths and weaknesses. She also knows that the boys in the class hate her and the girls don't like her.
It's just that she is surrounded by those guys because she is Hirata's girlfriend.
But so what?
Hated by others?
She doesn't care at all. As long as she can maintain her position, so what if she is hated?
She needs status, she needs to be a strong person in the eyes of others. Only in this way will she not be bullied, and will she not feel the pain of being bullied again.
Those who hate me?
Do you know what kind of bullying I have suffered?
Just because I'm cute, just because boys like me, so I deserve to be bullied by you?
On the deserted island, when Kamio Tatsuya said: Aren't there people like that? They want to find a way to bully girls who look unpleasant or pretty, like saying bad things behind their backs, putting tacks in their indoor shoes...
At that time, although Karuizawa was in the tent, she clearly heard these words.
And she felt it very deeply!
Because these are her real experiences!
When she entered school, Karuizawa vowed, I must get rid of the bottom and climb to the top step by step!
I don't want to be bullied anymore.
I can't stand it anymore, I don't want to be bullied by others.
In fact, she did it. Her life has been smooth sailing this semester.
But today, everything was broken.
When Manabe Shiho, Yamashita Saki, and Yabu Nanami approached her with a very familiar fierce look, she recalled the fear of being controlled by the strong.
A wave of dizziness came from her brain, and Karuizawa seemed to lose all her strength and knelt on the ground.
Her fingers subconsciously brushed across her left abdomen, where there was a hideous scar.
The feeling of her fingers brushing over the scar made Karuizawa feel sick, and her body began to dry heave uncontrollably.
"Karuizawa? Are you in the bathroom?"
Just then, her roommate Matsushita Chiaki's voice came from outside.
"Yes, wait a moment, I'll be right out."
Karuizawa replied quickly.
Because of the sound of the water, Matsushita Chiaki didn't hear the abnormality in Karuizawa's voice.
A few minutes later, Karuizawa walked out of the bathroom, having already made up her mind.
After leaving the Rabbit group room, Kamio Tatsuya didn't choose to go back to his room, because if he went back now, that guy Koenji would definitely be working out.
He's not into muscles and isn't interested in Koenji's body.
It was past nine o'clock in the evening, and the sky was undoubtedly completely dark, with a boundless starry sky in sight.
This is a sight that cannot be seen in the city at all, because a large number of neon lights cover the starlight.
Shiina should like this kind of scenery.
Thinking of this, Kamio Tatsuya took out his phone to invite Shiina to the deck to watch the stars together.
However, looking at the students holding hands like couples on the deck, Kamio Tatsuya sighed. Should he call Kamuro at this time?
Or should he call both of them over?
No no no, he feels like something will happen.
While he was hesitating, someone suddenly started talking to him.
"Kamio? What are you doing here?"
Kamio Tatsuya finally felt a bit of Sakura's mood, but he didn't throw his phone away.
"Kushida?" Kamio Tatsuya turned around and saw Kushida standing behind him, "Are you alone?"
"Yeah, are you disappointed?"
I'm disappointed in your head, why are you talking like that?
"There's nothing to be disappointed about." Kamio Tatsuya put away his phone. Okay, now no one needs to be called, "Want to watch the stars together?"
"Kamio actually likes to watch the stars? I always thought you didn't understand romance." The surprise on Kushida's face didn't seem like an act.
"What kind of image do I have in your heart?"
Even Kamio Tatsuya couldn't help but complain.
What do you mean by not understanding romance? I was just thinking about whether to call Shiina or Kamuro out to watch the stars.
"Well, does it look like you don't care about anything?"
What kind of prejudice do you have against me?
"Speaking of which, you seem to be in a good mood recently?"
Kamio Tatsuya directly changed the subject.
"Really? You noticed that."
Kushida's expression seemed very happy.
Yeah, because you haven't scolded Horikita in front of me for days.
