When Hashima Hikaru saw Ichinose Honami in front of him, he was actually a bit helpless.
Even though Aobadai Shopping Center was quite big, to meet like this could only be said to be fate.
He decided to pretend to be stupid first, smiling and greeting the girl in front of him, "Ichinose-san, good afternoon."
"What are you... doing?"
"It's the same as last time, Ichinose-san knows, right?" Hashima Hikaru tried to make his tone gentle, explaining slowly, "Kushida-san thanked me for explaining the hidden rules to them, so she treated me to a meal today."
"I didn't expect to meet you just after finishing, it's really a coincidence."
"Is that so? It seems that I have a lot of fate with little Honami, to meet you here." Kushida played her role as a socialite, smiling and greeting the girl.
"Is that so? It's really a bit of a coincidence... hehe."
After hearing Hashima Hikaru 's explanation, Ichinose Honami understood that this might just be a normal social activity, but her heart still felt extremely uncomfortable, and her expression became much darker.
"That... Ivaino-san is urging me, I'll go first."
Although she really wanted to stay and eat melons, Kushida was very good at reading the atmosphere, when she noticed that Ichinose Honami's expression was a bit wrong, she immediately prepared to leave.
"Okay, see you later, Kushida-san."
After Kushida left, Hashima Hikaru and Ichinose Honami walked together from Aobadai Shopping Center, looking at the girl's expression, the boy took the initiative to open the conversation.
"Ichinose-san, was your information gathering smooth today?"
"Um, I already roughly understand Sakayanagi-san's attitude, we also chatted about girls' topics, the atmosphere was very harmonious."
Although her heart was still brooding, Ichinose still answered Hashima Hikaru 's questions without hesitation.
"That's good, let's review it together tomorrow." Hashima Hikaru looked ahead, his tone calm, "I'll also share my harvest with you."
"Harvest?"
After hearing these two words, the girl's originally dark eyes lit up, and she subconsciously asked.
"What harvest?"
"Of course it's information about Class D, what else could it be."
Hashima Hikaru smiled slightly, this was the best way he thought of to soothe Ichinose Honami, as long as he connected this private meeting with the class competition, it would be easy to divert the girl's attention.
He could also rearrange the language, what Hashima Hikaru knew was that Kushida wanted to become friends with Horikita Suzune, but when he said it, it became his own proposed study group plan, and extended it to helping Class B.
The key was not the truth or falsehood of the information, but to make Ichinose Honami feel at ease.
Hashima Hikaru roughly guessed that Ichinose's current mood was wrong because she saw him specially dressed in casual clothes to meet Kushida alone.
This was something she already knew, in the social field, it was also very normal, but if this matter was not resolved, it might make her think too much.
Although Hashima Hikaru couldn't really break through the relationship with her now, eliminating the girl's inner anxiety was still very important, after all, he still held a large number of her stocks.
"I met with Kushida-san privately today, of course it's not just for a simple meal." Hashima Hikaru looked at the girl's side face, after he said the word "harvest", her face instantly softened a lot, the effect was really fast.
"As for the specific content, I'll go back and organize it first, and tell you tomorrow, okay?"
"Um, I believe in Hashima -kun."
"I said before that I would hand over the task of formulating the class plan to Ichinose-san, but I can't help but inquire about information, does this count as a breach of contract?" Hashima Hikaru threw out his hook.
"Of course not!"
Ichinose Honami's pretty face showed a serious expression, staring at the boy with burning eyes and saying, "I know Hashima -kun has been working for the class, no matter what you do, I will believe in you, as for that agreement..."
"Anyway, only the two of us know, I say you didn't breach the contract, then you didn't breach the contract."
When she said this, the girl seemed a bit embarrassed, with a faint blush on her pretty face.
"Then it's good, I thought Ichinose-san's face was not looking good just now, thinking that I took the initiative to contact Kushida-san to inquire about information, and was a bit angry, now I can completely rest assured."
Hashima Hikaru also made a gesture of patting his chest, as if he was really relieved.
All these performances fell into Ichinose Honami's eyes, and the girl's heart couldn't help but tremble.
Being able to be assigned to Class B with Hashima -kun is indeed the luckiest thing for me, we will definitely go on like this in the future.
"Hashima -kun, why do you have to think like this, no matter what you want to do, just tell me later, we are the closest partners, I will never blame you."
A bright smile appeared on Ichinose Honami's pretty face, her moving eyes firmly imprinted the boy's figure, as if it would never disappear.
"Is that so? I didn't expect that I have such a heavy position in Ichinose-san's heart, it's really flattering."
"Um, always very important."
Although shy, Ichinose Honami answered very seriously, "Being able to be assigned to Class B with Hashima -kun is the luckiest thing for me."
"Hahaha, I am too, being able to enter Class B with Ichinose-san is indeed very good."
Hashima Hikaru laughed dryly, this sentence was indeed true, after all, having a classmate who was wholeheartedly dedicated to the class by his side, he could be more relaxed when formulating the class plan.
"Um, if there's a chance next time, I also want to treat Hashima -kun to a meal, just the two of us..." Ichinose Honami suddenly turned her head, her tone carrying a hint of shyness, "Hashima -kun... what do you think?"
"Sure, but I always feel that it's always you treating me to meals, I feel like I'm becoming a kept man, next time I'll find an opportunity to treat Ichinose-san, as a return for last time."
"But..." The girl seemed to have something to say, but was interrupted by Hashima Hikaru .
"No refusal, otherwise I won't go."
"Then fine, let Hashima -kun decide the time, I will definitely be there on time."
Ichinose Honami stroked the pink long hair hanging down to her chest, with a hint of anticipation on her pretty face.
"Got it."
The two returned to the dormitory building together, since Ichinose's room was on the sixth floor, and Hashima Hikaru was on the third floor, after riding together for a while, the boy left first.
Recalling the girl's gentle expression when they parted, Hashima Hikaru finally let out a sigh of relief.
He quickly looked at his system interface, the stock price of "Ichinose Honami" was still 150, without any change.
"I always feel that my lying skills are getting better and better, will I really flip the car in the future?"
The boy rubbed his head, took out the key to open the dormitory door.
