Book 6: Chapter 4
Chapter 4: "Means of Survival"
After the start of homeroom at 18:00, Chabashira-sensei left the classroom immediately.
The students of the class were sitting there in wonder, Hirata shot them a side glance as he went to stand up at the podium.
We weren’t looking to play any games now. A serious discussion was about to begin.
“For today’s homeroom, I would like to hold a meeting for tomorrow’s quiz. I have gotten permission from Chabashira-sensei, who has told me that today's homeroom time is free for us to use. First of all, Horikita-san, would you please?”
As if waiting for Hirata’s words, Horikita got up quietly and stood next to Hirata.
For her to go and stand side by side with Hirata, some of the students probably began to feel a sense of incompatibility. Many may not have realized until now that “Horikita” and “Hirata” made up Class D’s strongest team. Hirata had always welcomed her, but Horikita had never allowed for it. Horikita always fought alone and acted with the belief that she could win without the help of others.
However, after the failure she suffered at the sports festival, she understood the limits of fighting alone, and it was as if she was reborn.
Of course, not everything has become perfect.
