Osamu Dazai

"... Horikita-san, if you are like this, no one will want to study with you...?" Kushida Kikyo said.

"I was wrong."

"If I teach these people to read this time, even if they successfully avoid failing, they will immediately fall into the same predicament next time."

"I deeply understand that this matter is really useless and redundant. It would be better for these people who are holding back their legs to leave now." Horikita Suzune still ignored it, as if she didn't understand human affairs.

This is the conclusion Horikita Suzune came to.

As long as there are no failing groups, you don't have to spend effort teaching them to read, and the average grade of the class will go up.

Kushida Kikyo's expression was covered with a shadow, as if he was heartbroken by Horikita Suzune's conclusion, he stood up holding his schoolbag and said: "...So that's the case, I know, I will definitely find a way of.

I absolutely don't want to say goodbye to everyone so early, so be it, see you tomorrow. "

In the silent library, it was so quiet that it made people feel a little scared.

……

At night, Osamu Dazai was going back to the dormitory from the library when he saw Horikita Suzune sneaking towards the back of the dormitory.

Osamu Dazai couldn't help following.

Horikita Suzune stopped in her tracks, and there was another figure over there.

"Suzune, I didn't expect you to come here. I heard that you entered Class D. It's the same as it was three years ago. You just keep looking at my back, and you haven't noticed until now. My own shortcomings. Choosing this school is considered a failure." The person standing in front of Horikita said.

"This—this must be a mistake somewhere. I will definitely be promoted to Class A immediately, so—"

Hearing that person say that, Horikita Suzune couldn't help feeling ashamed of being in Class D, and said anxiously.

"Impossible, you can't reach Class A. Not only that, even the class will collapse. This school is not as simple as you think."

The figure denied it again.

"I will definitely, definitely enter Class A..."

"Didn't I say it was impossible? Your sister is really disobedient."

The figure moved a step closer and slowly emerged from the shadows. It was the student council president, Horikita Gaku.

His expression was devoid of emotion, and his eyes seemed to be looking at something he was not interested in.

Horikita's older brother grabbed her unresisting wrist and pressed it hard against the wall.

"No matter how much I avoid you, I can't change the fact that you are my younger sister. If people around me find out about you, I will be the one who will be ashamed. Leave this school immediately." Horikita said forcefully .

"I, I can't do it... I... will definitely be promoted to Class A...!"

"That's stupid. I'll let you suffer as much as you used to."

"Brother—I—"

"You don't have the strength and qualifications to climb up. Let me understand."

Horikita Suzune's body was pulled forward forcefully, and her feet were suspended in the air.

Osamu Dazai immediately rushed out from the shadows, approached Horikita Gaku, grabbed his right arm that was holding Horikita Suzune's wrist, and restricted his movements.

"The bullying of the beautiful girl in the middle of the night, even the president of the student union, must bear some punishment."

Osamu Dazai and Horikita glared at each other, and a brief silence surrounded them.

"Dazai, stop...

Horikita Suzune struggled to squeeze out the words.

At this moment, an astonishingly fast Liquan (Note: A punching move that uses the area on the back of the hand close to the knuckles as the attack point) rushed towards Osamu Dazai.

Osamu Dazai leaned his upper body back to avoid the attack.Although Horikita Gaku had a slender physique, he made such a vicious attack.Then, he aimed another hard kick.

Osamu Dazai dodged the violent kick and kicked back, Horikita dodged sideways, and the kick landed on the corner of the wall, and part of it was kicked off.

"The strength is good."

Looking at this scene, Horikita Gaku commented lightly.

"Ringtone, I really didn't expect you to have friends. To be honest, I was very surprised."

Horikita Gaku turned around and looked at Horikita Suzune in surprise.

"He... is not my friend, just a classmate."

Horikita Suzune looked up at him as if to deny his brother.

"It seems that you are still the same, misunderstood the meaning of pride and loneliness"

Horikita Gaku just walked past the two of them and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Horikita Suzune looked strange at that time, probably because she found out about her brother.

"If you want to get promoted to the upper class, you have to struggle like hell. There is no other way."

After Horikita Gaku left, the surrounding area was enveloped in the tranquility of night.Horikita sat by the wall with her head bowed, not moving.

"Suzune, are you really planning to give up those students?"

Osamu Dazai walked up to Horikita Suzune and sat down.

"I've already given up, and Hirata-san has already taken in most of the failing groups."

"He is different from me. He is not only good at reading, but also good at getting along with others, so he should be able to teach with his heart."

"He should at least get those guys over the pass bar this time."

"However, I think it's just a waste of time to spend time on people who keep failing exams."

"Such exams will be repeated until graduation."

"It's also going to be easier for them to get promoted to the upper class when they're dropped out, which is exactly what I want."

With that said, Horikita Suzune got up and was about to go to the elevator from the entrance of the dormitory, Dazai Osamu grabbed her hand.

Forcibly holding Horikita Suzune in like this, it wouldn't be surprising even if she took a hard blow from her.

However, Horikita Suzune didn't do that.

This proves that Horikita Suzune also thinks that this is not going to work, so she didn't shake off Dazai Osamu's hand.

Of course, she may not have such self-awareness herself.

"Is that true, Sudou and the others also have special skills." Dazai Osamu walked up to Horikita Suzune and said, looking into her eyes.

"I don't think they have any specialties." Horikita Suzune turned her head away from Dazai Osamu.

"Sudou and the others are indeed far behind you in reading."

"No matter how hard they study, it will be difficult for them to surpass you."

"But, after all, it's just something on the desk."

"It's not just the intellectual aspect that the school attaches importance to."

"If the next time the school administered a sports-related test, it wouldn't be like this, would it?"

Osamu Dazai revealed another side of Sudou Takeru and others.

"This--"

Horikita Suzune tried to fight back, but the words that came out of her throat couldn't be heard.

"Horikita, you are also good at sports. Even if you just watch swimming, you are in the top rank among girls, and you are very good."

"However, you were there at the time, so you must know that Sudou's athletic ability is very good."

"Chi also has the communication skills that you lack."

"Assuming this test is based on conversation, Chi will definitely come in handy."

"Maybe you'll be the one holding back the class instead."

"Will this make you useless? Shouldn't it be right?"

"Everyone has things they are good at or not good at, and that's what we call human beings."

"And, don't want your brother to see your efforts?"

Osamu Dazai said the words that made Horikita Suzune make up her mind.

"I understand, I will take care of Sudou-san and the others for myself, and I hope that keeping them will be beneficial to future development."

After finishing speaking, Horikita Suzune shook off Dazai Osamu's hand, turned and entered the dormitory.

Osamu Dazai watched the lights in Horikita Suzune's room turn on, and looked beside the vending machine.

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka knew that he had been discovered long ago, so he walked out.

"Uh, I just came out to buy a bottle of drink, can you believe it?"

Ayanokōji shook the drink bottle in his hand and said in embarrassment.

Osamu Dazai didn't answer, just looked at Ayanokouji Kiyotaka silently.

Seeing that Osamu Dazai did not reply, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji knew that Osamu Dazai did not believe his words.

After all, only a fool would believe it.

After a while, Osamu Dazai turned around and said, "Follow me."

Ayanokōji Kiyotaka glanced at Dazai Osamu's back, threw the drink bottle in his hand into the trash can, and followed Dazai Osamu.

……

In the student union office, Dazai Osamu said to Ayanokōji Kiyotaka, "Just wait here."

Dazai opened the door.

Horikita looked up and said, "Why are you here again?"

Osamu Dazai did not answer this question, but talked to himself.

"I want the position of vice president of the student union."

"reason."

"The conservative chairman Horikita, the radical vice-chairman Nagumo, and me who want to be outside the rules don't seem to affect you, and, don't you also want your sister to be an object of chasing and surpassing?" , instead of blindly imitating you."

Dazai Osamu looked straight into Horikita Gaku's eyes and said.

"After the midterm exam, you will be the vice president.

After Horikita finished speaking, she continued to process the documents.

Osamu Dazai saw that his goal was achieved, and left the office.

"Why do you let me see these?" Ayanokōji Kiyotaka asked at the door.

"It's all about showing the sincerity of cooperation."

Dazai Osamu walked out of the gate, leaving only Ayanokōji Kiyotaka muttering to himself.

"Is the cooperation... sincere?"

……

"Hey, are you listening? Are you out of your head?"

Horikita Suzune put her palm on Dazai Osamu's forehead rudely, and then put it back on her own forehead.

"I don't seem to have a fever either." Horikita Suzune confirmed.

"It's just that I didn't commit suicide today, I'm not in good spirits." Osamu Dazai waved his hand listlessly.

"Hey, Dazai, are you really going to help me?" Horikita Suzune confirmed again.

"Please, my eldest lady, you have asked this question more than ten times today." Osamu Dazai said helplessly.

"I... I see, so what should I do." Horikita Suzune turned her head.

Osamu Dazai thought: "This guy Horikita... really intends to help Sudou and the others...?"

"Without Kushida's power, it is impossible to summon Sudou and the others again. You also know that?"

"...I know. In order to take care of the overall situation, I can only make sacrifices."

Horikita Suzune seemed very dissatisfied, but agreed anyway.

Horikita Suzune usually doesn't allow Kushida Kikyo to get close to her.
