Chapter 79: Chapter 7:Only One Solution
"Good morning, Ayanokouji-kun."
"Were you waiting for someone, Horikita?"
"Yes. I was waiting for you."
"I guess if you wanted to confess your feelings, it\'d be best just to get the words out."
"Are you an idiot?" she spat. I felt hotter than ever.
"Everything will be decided today," I said.
"Yeah."
"I was thinking...maybe I made a mistake. The wrong choice..."
"Would you be happy if we\'d compromised?"
I didn\'t want to think about it, but Horikita continued. "If Sudou-kun is penalized for this, it\'ll be my responsibility."
"So you do worry about things like this, huh?"
"The truth is that we\'re gambling. I\'m a little anxious of the outcome. Are you okay?"
"We have the strategy you proposed yesterday. Ichinose will be there, too. We\'ll manage."
I lightly patted Horikita\'s shoulder and continued walking.
"Hey—"
"Hmm?"
"Nothing. After we settle this case," replied Horikita, as if she\'d been about to say something. She shut her mouth.
