Food Trap

From now on, I'm going to address the classes as followed:

Class A: Arisu's class

Class B: Honami's class

Class C: Ryueen's class

Class D: Horikita's class.

"Are you free for lunch? Do you want to eat together?"

Ike: Wait... Did Horikita-san just... ask Ayanokouji out on a date?

Horikita: I did not ask him out on a date.

Satou: Then, why did you ask him to eat with you? You never ask anyone to eat with you.

Horikita: Just watch the video.

During our break, Horikita came up and invited me out.

"It's unusual to get an invitation from you. I feel nervous."

"There's no reason to be. I can treat you to the vegetable meal set, if that's okay with you."

Nene: Isn't that the free meal?

"Wait, wasn't that the free meal?"

Nene: Woah! I said the same thing! It's like Ayanokouji-kun and I are a perfect match!

This remark earned her glares from some of the girls in the theatre.

Fortunately for Nene, she didn't realise this at all, causing the glares to slowly fade away.

"I'm joking. Seriously, whatever you want to eat is on me."

Horikita: Who knows.

Satou: Hey! Stop copying Ayanokouji-kun!

Horikita, uninterested, merely ignored Satou's comment.

"Now I'm definitely scared. Is there some kind of catch?"

An invitation from Horikita was suspicious enough. The suddenness of the request also gave me pause.

Hashimoto: I think it's obvious enough where this is going.

Arisu: Yes, I suppose it is pretty obvious given the video we just watched previously.

Sudou: So, where is this going?

Ryueen: It would go up your fucking ass if you don't shut up.

Snickers could be heard within the room after that unexpected and backhanded comment.

Sudou: WHAT DID YOU SAY!?

Angry, Sudou flared up and rose from his seat, clearly prepared to get into a fistfight.

Horikita: Sit down, Sudou-kun. Control yourself.

Horikita said, attempting to calm him down. It was about to work quite quickly, but...

Ryueen: Are you deaf on top of being dumb? I said 'It would go up your fucking ass if you don't shut up'.

Sudou: That's it!

Sudou's anger returned and he quickly stood up, ready to stomp his way towards Ryueen, who was grinning.

Horikita: Stop this at once, Sudou-kun!

Horikita quickly got up from her own seat and stood in front of him with her arms spread out, preventing Sudou from moving any further towards Ryueen.

Sudou: But Suzune! He started-
