Book 16: Chapter 8: Horikita Suzune’s Choice (2)
One by one, my classmates began to agree with Kushida’s expulsion, but only one stood up against it.
“Don’t go any further, Kushida-san. You won’t be able to turn things back if you do.”
“Hah? It’s only starting to get to the good part. Don’t interrupt me, Horikita-san.”
“I can’t let you continue. I won’t listen to any more of these unsightly stories.”
“Is the truth really that ugly?”
Perhaps taking it as a compliment, Kushida looked at Horikita with the liveliest face she had made all day.
“Indeed. At the very least I don’t think these revelations are beautiful. But it’s not only you who I find ugly, but also the people who are now accusing you of leaking their secrets and calling for your expulsion.”
The unexpected scolding and reprimanding made her classmates shout out in exasperation.
“Why us too? We didn’t do anything wrong!”
