Classroom of the Elite Volume 11

Part 2

After finishing lunch and greeting them, Haruka exclaimed.
"Ichinose-san is always so cute. Especially her last smile. What do you guys
think ?
"I don't ......"
"Ah, Yukimu is blushing from remembering."
"Am not. "
"Honestly, I admit it. Besides, even though I'm a girl, I feel that she's very
cute. Boys don't even
have to say it."
Airi thought like that, and continued to remember.
"Miyatchi and Kiyopon, what do you think?"

We didn't want to end up with the same fate as Keisei, because Haruka is
trying to tease and
deceive us.
"If I'm not mistaken ... was Ichinose using perfume?"
"Oh, that. I also noticed, she was using orange perfume, right?"
"Yes. This was probably the most surprising thing for me. I wonder if she had
a change in
mind?"
"Seeing that now, what do the three of you think?"
Asking for this opinion of the boys, we might not understand.
"Is it about wearing perfume? Even though she wears it, maybe it's just
today's interest."
When Haruka heard this answer from Keisei, she sighed.
"Men really ... can't see small changes at all. Don't they?"
"...... Putting that aside. Looks like it's not just us, but battles in other classes
also look very
fierce."
In order to change the subject, Akito said this.
"Even Class D, too, to win against the upper classes, they are not fighting

Page 92 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

honestly. If it
continues like this, maybe their actions towards Class B, could get more
serious."
To avoid Haruka's banter, Keisei continued Akito's conversation. His
predictions might not be
wrong.
Even though there have only been 3 victims so far, it's not surprising if the
victims will increase
later.
"After all they are fighting without Ryuuen now. If they don't use dirty trick,
then they have no
chance of winning."
"Even so. I feel that the methods being used are all similar to Ryuuen-kun's
strategies. What are
they trying to do?"
Indeed, the strategy of putting pressure on the opponent was what Ryuuen
used to use.

"But it's in vain. This trick isn't enough to destroy the unity of Class B. After
chatting with them
today, I think it's better to fight Class A than to fight with Class B like that."
"Hmm, why does Yukimu think that?"
"They have a strong unity and will not blindly act in their own hands. They
are always being
sincere. These two points, is not something you find in any class. As a result,
they can perform
solidly at any event with good results. I don't think we can win against an
opponent like that. "
Class B can constantly achieve above average results, something that Keisei
seems to be afraid
of.
"But, even though they can reach average levels at various events. That
doesn't mean they
won't lose, right?"
Even though they can score 80 points or 90 points from all 7 events, if their
opponent gets 100

Page 93 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

points, they will lose.
"With 7 unpredictable events on that day, are they guaranteed to win? For
Class C and Class D,
we might be able to win at some of the events that we specifically proposed,
but on the other
hand, for unknown events, we might be defeated, and maybe we will be the
class that falls
down. "
"Well ... um ... that's possible."
Airi understood the reason Keisei said, and nodded repeatedly to express her
agreement.
"Hey, hey, wait."
When we had just turned around in the corner of the corridor, Haruka
suddenly pulled back
Keisei who was walking in front.
"What--"
Haruka immediately covered Keisei's mouth and pointed forward.
It was Ike and Shinohara. They happened to be not far from us.
"Hey, Shinohara."
"What? "
"That's ... Just ... Yes ..."

"I can't hear you. What do you want to say?"
We can hear their conversation, even though their voices are very quiet.
"... Sunday ... In general, do you have time?"
"Sunday? I have no plans ... Hey! What's this about?"
"How do I say it, I want to invite you to go out. Are you available?"
It was an exchange between the two of them, although it was quiet, but it was
still audible.
Haruka and Airi looked at one another excitedly, while on the other hand
Keisei and Akito
expressed different reactions.
"I remember, Sunday is White day, right? Has Shinohara-san given chocolate
to Ike-kun
before?"
"It seems like it."

Page 94 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

At first, Shinohara was surprised at the invitation from Ike. But she slowly
began to understand
the situation.
"Oh, that, because you gave me chocolate before ... I intend to return the
favor."
"It was actually just a coincidence. You really ... Wait, do you when have
money?"
"There's still a little ... Of course, if you don't want to, that's fine."
"... I didn't say no."
"Th-that means ..."
"You, don't misunderstand! It's because we're about to take a special exam
soon, this Sunday is
the last chance to relax. And because you said you wanted to invite me, it
wasn't a bad thing."
Somehow, I recalled what Hoshinomiya-sensei said in the morning.
In places that I don't know about, maybe various seeds are starting to appear.
"Let's go."
"Oh, wait a minute. I am seeing something amazing."

"Don't disturb someone's romance."
Akito pulled Haruka and went in the opposite direction.
"Can't you let me see it for a moment! My heart is beating fast."
"I don't feel it."
"That's because you're a man who isn't interested in love ... Right Airi?"
"... um. Looks like I'm also a little excited. But, if they see us, they will
definitely be
embarrassed."
"That's true, but people who come by will also see it. That is his own fault."
If we are found by them, it is very possible that the seeds that grow will not
produce fruit due to
our sudden appearance.

Part 3

Now still in the process of gathering information - To identify what events
each person in the
class is good at.
After school, meetings diminish over time, and instead, special chat groups in
Class C have
become more active. Although Koenji and Hirata have not yet joined, others
have shifted the
discussion of special exams to a path where they can talk about it at any time.
As a result, a method that is not too stressful may be more suitable for Class
C, and opinion
exchanges become more active. However, this can only be analyzed by
looking at the
observer's perspective.

I left all the preparations to Horikita and now I just need to wait for it to
finish.
Strategizing, as the Commander's responsibility, I can think about later.
However, some worrying elements still remain. That is the whereabouts of
Koenji and Hirata.
Especially Hirata, maybe this was a problem that Horikita could not solve.
Two people who have not joined the discussion group, are unable to take the
special exam
actively.
Even though Koenji's absence was expected, Hirata's was a great loss.
Even though it's hard to accept it. Right now, Hirata is like a completely
different person. This is
a big concern for Class C. It is a very important part of the class, and at the
same time, it is also
something which no one dares to touch upon. We can only hope that it will
naturally improve.
Initially, he was a versatile person. But it is unfortunate that he cannot be
used as a card that
can participate in any event.

Page 96 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Then appeared other factors of concern.
"...... Hirata-kun!"
Hirata who was just returning, Mii-chan called out to him, trying to catch up.
I do not remember how many times this has already happened.
One by one, people had given up on trying to talk to Hirata, and among them,
only Mii-chan kept
trying.
Such attachment would end up making Hirata hate her, and her heart might
be filled with the
fear of this.
Even so, why did he keep trying to talk to Hirata?
"I feel Hirata-kun really ..."
The people who discussed these things were girls who still remained in class,
Kei said that to
her small group.
"Well, Karuizawa-san. Is it really for the best to leave him?

"I don't think there's any point in saying anything. Maybe he already hates
me. "
The day before yesterday, when Kei tried to confront Hirata, the scene of his
warning was still
fresh in her memory.
"That's right. First, Hirata-kun was dumped by Karuizawa-san, and then soon
after,
Yamauchi-kun was expelled ..."
I ignored the girls' chat and left the classroom.
But, my goal today is not Hirata. But I have to overcome other dangerous
factors.
My goal is to follow the students who left the classroom behind Mii-chan.
"Hey, do you have time?"
When I spoke to the girl, she turned around after a while.
"What's wrong Ayanokouji-kun?"
I called out to Kushida who so far hasn't contributed in this special exam.
Ever since, she has neither helped nor bothered the class.
As a member of Class C, she just kept quiet until now.
Kushida who was supposed to be the vice class leader, usually supported the

Page 97 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

class.
However, this time there was no intention at all. I'm afraid there are two
reasons why she didn't
do it.
One of them is because of events that occurred in the previous exam, shaking
her reputation.
Even though she was used by Yamauchi, the fact that she supported my
withdrawal was
exposed.
Although most students feel that Kushida deserves sympathy in this matter.
However, that was
not enough for Kushida.
For her, the incident hurt her status as a 'good person.'
Another reason is because Horikita began to take the as the leader of Class C.

If I were to think from Kushida's perspective, I believe that this is the real
reason.
Kushida hated Horikita from the beginning because she knew of her past.
In addition, when voting in class, she was greatly blamed by Horikita.
Whatever the reason, actions that try to make students drop out of school
should be punished in
general.
Kushida's pride was forced to take a hit.
"This time, you don't seem to support Horikita."
Even though I know her very well, I deliberately asked this question.
Because I want to know, in this special exam, does she have a plan?
From that smiling fake face, I couldn't see the true heart of Kushida.
If I don't see what's under the mask, I don't know anything.
"Can we talk about it while walking?"
"Okay."
Kushida, who didn't want our conversation to be overheard, urged me to
come along.
"Do you have any plans for today?"
"Yes, I plan to meet some of the girls in Class B. You think having fun
during what's happening
now is a bad thing, don't you?"

Page 98 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"No, relaxing is necessary. I think this is what everyone believes."
It's stupid to spend 24 hours just thinking about exams.
When it's time to work, we have to work. When you want to relax, you have
to relax.
"Do you understand, the reason why I am not doing anything now? I think it's
okay to kick you
out and help Yamauchi-kun's plan. Then, how do you think I should show my
face and stand up
to lead the class, after everything is revealed?"

Kushida deliberately did not mention the real reason was because of Horikita.
"Looks like you can't accept that reason, right? I can see it on your face ..."
"That's the way it is."
"I'll explain now. The reason I don't want to help isn't because Horikita-san's
the leader now,
okay?"
"Is that true ?"
"Really, that's true."
I deliberately said it two or three times and then I accepted it. But this was
just a lie.
"Ah, you must doubt that."
Of course I should be suspicious. Even if I weren't, Kushida would still think
so.
Therefore, I was sure in advance that she would doubt me.
"How do I look to you Ayanokouji-kun, I wonder? What do you think?"
"I guess ..."
What I saw with my eyes was the appearance of my classmate who was
smiling sweetly.
But ... I tried to imagine the Kushida hiding behind that mask.
'That bitch! I WILL kill her! I will humiliate her in front of the whole class! I
will never forgive that
bitch! I will kill her! Kill! Kill kill kill! I will beat her to death !! '
With blue veins popping out while raging and roaring at Horikita.
Her mouth continued to make unbearable harsh words.
"........."

Page 99 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Page 100 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

I imagined the other side of Kushida like this, but there was no way I could
tell her that.
"Are you thinking about something rude now?"

"No, not at all. "
I really thought too much, and that made me talk too much.
After pushing that unnecessary imagination from my mind, I stated my main
goal.
"Because you said there was no way to contribute this time, I can understand
your decision."
"And instead, you want the class information I'm holding ... right?"
Kushida understood what this special test meant.
"That is true. "
"Isn't there someone else who can be relied on right now?"
Kushida still had a constant smile, but did not respond positively to my
request.
Even though the contract was over, Kushida's vigilance was rekindled.
She must be thinking, who am I really? Am I an enemy or a friend? And I
welcome the second.
"They aren't as good as Kushida."
"I'm glad you said this. But I also have a variety of situations."
"Various situations?"
"My situation is difficult, Ayanokouji-kun."
Kushida is trying to say that her position was not as stable as before. This
was a big loss.
The reputation of Kushida Kikyo's character that she had built for a year
suddenly had a gap.
Even though the support from classmates was still very high, small cracks
had appeared. It's
very difficult to build trust, but extremely easy to lose it.
"Then let me ask you a question. What can I do to get you to help me?"
"You have no choice but to give up this time. I intend to do what I want this
time, and I want to
remain in class calmly. Do you mind?"

Page 101 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

In other words, she has no intention of helping, or disturbing the class.
However, this also shows that if she was chosen as an Event Representative,
she will still
produce the minimum result.
"Not just me, are you okay with Horikita?"
"Yes, it's fine to interpret my words like that. Because all this time I've
realized that this school is
more fun than I thought."
Kushida will keep wearing her fake mask and continue playing.
Saying something good for this situation was also Kushida's expertise.
It was painful not to be able to get help from Kushida here, but it was better
to surrender
honestly now.
"I understand. Sorry, I said something to upset you."
"No. I'm very glad you came to ask for my help."
I decided to part with Kushida when I reached the front door.
Kushida continued to Keyaki Mall without stopping.

Page 102 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 4

Unknowingly, the day arrived on a Sunday, White day on March 14.
To be honest, I'm thankful it happened to be on Sunday.

Some gifts have been prepared on the table.
If it were at school, I would have been worried when I would get the
opportunity to give it and it
will end up taking a long time.
Although you can give it in the morning, before class starts, or after school.
There's a lot to think about; who should I go first and how it should be done.
More importantly, doing things like that in the public's eyes is completely out
of line with my
image.
I also know that this is the best way so that no one else sees me around, but
that is almost
impossible.
However, if it is Sunday, I just put it in each mailbox.
In order not to meet anyone, I left the room when it was still morning and
walked to the mailbox
of the dormitory.
"Uhh ..."
I put the gift in the mailbox of each student who had given me chocolates on
Valentine's Day.
After putting all the chocolate in, I saw Ichinose on my way back to my
room.
Ichinose's reaction was like she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.
"Oh, good morning, Ayanokouji-kun."
"Eh ... Umm, good morning."
Even though it's not yet 7, an unexpected encounter had happened.
But today, she is still avoiding my eyes.
"After waking up, I went for a short walk and I just returned."
She said with a look as if she was staring at me but in fact she looked
elsewhere.
She wanted to check her mailbox before returning.

Page 103 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Ah ~ sorry, excuse me."

To let her check her mailbox, I left the way open. After she greeted me, she
checked her
mailbox. The return gift that I placed naturally appeared.
"Since you've seen it now. I gave it to you."
After Ichinose took the gift out of the mailbox, she held it for a moment
without moving.
"Actually, about that, you didn't need to ..."
Ichinose who responded, stopped as if she forgot what she wanted to say.
"I don't think that would be good."
"... T-thank you, I'm sorry, I'm nervous because I'm not used to this."
I was also the same. This time there was no one else around so I didn't know
what to do.
The atmosphere quickly became awkward, so I had to change the subject.
"... Speaking of which. What happened to Shibata on Thursday, what
happened after that?"
"Ah, um, are you worried?"
"Yes, I'm a little worried."
Was it because I had changed the subject, so the words flowed smoothly after
a while and I felt
like it was back to normal.
"After that, I went to ask everyone, at that time there were only 3 victims
reported by
Shibata-kun. But ..."
"But?"
"On Friday, the number of victims appeared to have increased suddenly. It
increased to 3 boys
and 3 girls. Yesterday I received a report, all of them had been watched as
discussed."
In other words, a total of 9 people were bullied by Class D. However, in the
three days after the
special examination was published, the attack was only concentrated on 3
people. Will there be
6 more people on Friday?
"Do you know who is stalking them?

Page 104 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

After a while, she nodded and said the names of the students.
"I know they are Ishizaki-kun, Komiya-kun, Yamada-kun, Kondou-kun,
Ibuki-san, and
Kinoshita-san."
A total of 6 people?
They are students who usually do the dirty work to a certain extent.
It's easy to identify those who don't try to hide their identity from the start.
"I wonder, do I have to chase these 6 people?"
Most D classes are just ordinary students. It is natural to think like this.
"Next Monday, I intend to ask them for more details."
"If the damage increases as you imagined. What will you do?"
Soon after, Ichinose and Kanzaki will also be affected.
"Well ~ I can't do anything. After all, there is no threat of violence ...... The
classmates also
agree to continue to endure, until the injury actually occurs and will be
psychologically
damaging."
If something unexpected happens, an emergency plan must be prepared.
"I see."
Class D is showing strange movements.
Are they really aiming for all students in class B?
If there are only 6 people lurking, it's impossible to put much pressure on all
of Class B.
Even if they do this kind of thing repeatedly, it would only be to the extent to
which someone
feels harassed.
Didn't Ishizaki who proposed this think about that?
Or, as long as they can give a few mental blows, are they satisfied?
"Is there something wrong?"

She seemed to notice that I was worried, and looked at me with a slightly
agitated expression.
"No ... You can continue doing what you have so far. Even if you complain to
the school about
Class D, they won't be penalized. That's what I think."

Page 105 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Yes, that is true."
But the purpose of Class D is the same as what I think now. But I need to
confirm it first.
However, there was no sign of Ichinose trying to make a move. So I will not
mention it.
Because she had already decided to focus on defense, I decided to change the
topic to
continue the conversation.
"Have you decided on 10 events?"
"Yes. We already knew about what we were good at and weren’t from the
beginning. Then we
have mixed in a number of programs that Class D didn't master, and we
finished them
yesterday. What about Ayanokouji-kun?"
"I didn't participate in anything this time. For 10 events, everything was left
to Horikita who
decided."
"But what about the rules of the Commander's intervention?"
"It's also Horikita who decides."
Ichinose showed a confused look, when I said that I wasn't the right
Commander.
"Is it because your classmates really trust, Horikita-san? Or, no matter the
rules of the event,
you will be able to handle it?"
"100% is the first. I am different from the others. There are only a few
classmates who have
good relations with me. I really don't know any of them. And I am the
Commander only to
prevent someone from dropping out of school."
"But why do you want to play against Class A?"
"That was also Horikita's idea. She might have seen the opportunity of
victory at that time."
After accepting this reason, she did not try to discuss it any further.
The topic of discussion was complete and we waited for the elevator to
arrive.

Page 106 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Ah ~ ... I think I messed up ..."
As if she just thought of something. She stood aside while continuing to twist
her hair with her
index finger.
"Is there something wrong?"
"No, nothing. There's nothing to worry about."
The elevator arrived on the 4th floor where my room was located.
"That. "
When I got out of the elevator and looked back, our eyes happened to meet
hers.
"Eh, Uwahhh !! T-See you later!"
After that she suddenly panicked and pressed the button. The elevator door
closed and
Ichinose's figure was no longer visible. Although it was a strange encounter,
white day ended
quite smoothly, so it wasn't so bad.
"It seems that today I didn’t smell any orange perfume."
After all, it was still Sunday morning, and she would not have sprayed
perfume before leaving.

Page 107 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 5

Monday morning. Today is the day that the 10 events chosen by our
opponents will be
published.
In the end, what kind of events and rules will Class A create? And how will
the Commander's
intervention be carried out?
Coincidentally, I met Horikita’s brother and Tachibana on the way to school.
There was no sign of them waiting for me. Apparently, it was just a
coincidence.

Tachibana said nothing, and quietly backed away.
That's because she didn’t want to disturb our conversation.
She was the one who had constantly supported Horikita's older brother so that
he could respond
quickly and attentively.
"Did the special exam go well?"
As expected of Horikita's older brother. Even without explanation, he
understood the situation
well.
"I want to ask you, will you graduate in Class A?"
"This depends on next week's results."
Does he feel worried or not? I couldn’t tell from his face.
"Your sister worked very hard. After meeting with you last time, she
produced results better than
expected."
"I understand. "
It was like touching magical water, and now her whole soul is full of energy.
When Hirata could not stand up, she took the stand to keep the class together.
Now we continue to polish our strategy to win in the 10 events.
"In general, have the 3rd year students already began their vacation?"
"Yes. I was surprised to learn this after I entered school. After all, most high
schools have

Page 108 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

started vacationing at this time. Also, for work problems, we are also
progressing smoothly.
Even though you may not know now, you will eventually understand. "
It seems that in addition to special exams, they are also performing other
difficult tasks.
"However, I still don't know whether or not you will graduate as Class A. Are
you prepared for
this?"
"You will know, sooner or later."
Leaving it at that, Horikita's brother didn't talk much.

That's because there are things that cannot be said to other students.
In other words, if I want to know whether the status of Class A is truly
beneficial, I have to wait
until I move up to year 3.
"If you still have questions, don't hesitate. I will answer you within the
allowed range."
"This range seems pretty small."
After hearing my complaint, Horikita's brother smiled faintly.
"Maybe like that. I think this is the most for the former student council
president."
It seems like it is not easy to tell information about the overall picture of the
school.
"Well, after all, this is a rare opportunity. In fact, I also have a question,
which I always wanted to
ask you."
I decided to ask the question that I had been holding through this casual
meeting.
"This is about Horikita ... your sister. I think she is actually a competent
person. Her academic
abilities and physical abilities are very good. Although she is not at the top,
she had the ability to
place second or third since the beginning. She may not be as gifted as the
student council
president, but I don't think it would be bad for you to try to see it for yourself.
"

Page 109 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

That is the weirdest thing for me.
"And she's two years younger than you, in other words you haven't seen her
growth for two
years. Because of the school system, you need to confirm how much Horikita
is growing or even
if she hasn't grown at all, you have to see it. At a glance, you can't go straight
to drawing a
conclusion. "
At that time Horikita's older brother was in the 2nd grade of high school, and
his sister was still
in middle school, so it was impossible for them to meet.
Even though Horikita's brother saw it when he was newly enrolled in this
school, it should not be
an outcome that would make him dissatisfied.
That day, I saw his attitude towards his sister outside the dormitory building,
which looked
uneasy.

"So about that incident, huh? After all, you saw the situation that day, don't
be surprised if you
would ask."
Horikita's brother remembers what happened at my first meeting with him.
"I'm not disappointed with Suzune. This is not a superficial achievement.
This is her inner
development."
"Her inner development?"
"In fact, Suzune has changed a lot. Before, she used to be a child who smiled
often."
Is she the one who always smiles? ... No, I can't imagine it.
"That means, after being influenced by you, she plays a cold image?"
"Because she imitates me no matter what. This bad habit started to form
when she rose to the
upper classes in elementary school. But now I think I made a mistake for
ignoring her. Back then
I wanted her to get rid of this habit, so I tried to treat her with indifference,
but in the end it was

Page 110 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

only counterproductive. "
As a result, Horikita continued to follow the shadow of her brother and
became a character like
that.
"It seems like you do have flaws, your failure to communicate with your
sister."
"Nobody is perfect. Am I right?"
"Yes."
At this point, I deliberately did not deny that.
"In general, you met again at school. Did you reach a conclusion, after
talking to her?"
At that time, their talk was not too short, but they hadn’t interacted for a long
time.
"Needless to say. I already knew after I called her. After the past two years,
nothing has
changed."
Is it something that only he can understand as her brother. Horikita's older
brother continued.
"She always responds positively to what I say. It seems like she just wants to
study harder and
wants to exercise more. Don't do this, don't do that. But she began to imitate
my favorite foods,of all things, even the colors that I like, my style of
clothing. No matter what aspect, she showed
excessive dependence on me. "
If she had progressed to that point, it would feel a little scary.
However, seeing Horikita's attitude since entering school, there were indeed a
number of things
to be acknowledged.
"After meeting your sister in this school, do you feel that her dependence on
you is still the
same?"
It would be very difficult to have material to find out about within two years.
"Yes. Anyone who knew Suzune since her childhood can see it. She ..."
Horikita's brother stopped himself.
"... No, even if you judge it first. I intend to use it as a benchmark to confirm
whether Suzune

Page 111 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

has really changed."
"In other words, you think that your sister hasn't changed completely."
Horikita's brother nodded. His sister has shown dramatic progress compared
to before, but in
his opinion, it seems that it is still not enough.
"Suzune, has tried to break free from the shackles of the past, but it's still in
the middle of its
progression."
I really don't think Horikita can reach this standard before he graduates.
After all there are just a few more days before the graduation ceremony.
"But if -"
Horikita's brother paused and looked at me.
I don't know why I looked sucked in by this strong appearance and stopped
myself.
"If Suzune no longer pursues my shadow, she will no longer rely on me, and
she can face
herself ..."
At that moment, the spring breeze blew.
"She will surpass me and become a presence that even you cannot ignore."
It seems like this wasn’t just a high evaluation given by an older brother.
He also often admired the strong potential of his sister in certain areas.
Why? Is it because of what Horikita's brother said?
Suddenly, a thought appeared in my mind. Yes, that's what I should do in this
school.
No, that's what I want to do. I suddenly felt like I found it.
"But however, it depends on whether she really wants to change."
"She definitely has changed."
I say this.
"No, the meaning is a little different."
I corrected my statement.
"I'll try to change her. There's nothing so far as it is intentional or not, but I
will be serious about
it."
"...... Well. I didn't expect you to say something like that."
Meeting Horikita's brother, I felt it would leave a big impact on me.
Whether my hunch will come true or not, I'll find out later.

Page 112 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Hey. Before you graduate, can I ask you another question? This is entirely a
personal
question."
After this, I don’t know if there will be a chance to talk again like this.
"What?"
"Are you dating Tachibana behind you?"
I also know that this is a very boring question, but I am still trying to ask.
Even though they have retired from the student council, the two still always
act together.

"No, nothing like that."
Horikita's older brother denied it. It wasn’t a lie to hide facts.
It's just that, after looking at Tachibana's face, she had a rather complicated
look.
At least I can confirm that Tachibana really likes Horikita's brother.
"In the past 3 years. Whether it was a good or bad thing, all I have thought
about is this school."
"I understand."
"But thinking speaking of such a topic. Are you a normal high school
student?"
Is that so? I might have been influenced by Hoshinomiya-sensei.
"I thought I was a picture of an ordinary high school student."
"Yes, then. As an ordinary high school student, have you gotten one? "
Even though this was the first topic I raised, I didn't expect that he would ask
me back in return.
"No. But if there is a match, I would be interested."
"If it's you, I can leave Suzune to you, but this kind of thing might seem
impossible."
"Of course, impossible."
It's impossible.
"No, you can't say that. Horikita-kun will always support you fully."
Tachibana, who was watching calmly, suddenly entered in panic.
"Support?"
Horikita's brother heard his comment and asked. Then Tachibana
immediately began to explain.
"It's just that. It is a rule that tends to develop in the opposite of the expected

Page 113 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

result. It feels like
... two people who initially thought they were never compatible came
together, and it eventually
worked out. This is a typical example. So, ..."

I didn’t understand Tachibana's explanation.
"No, nothing,"
Realising we didn’t understand it at all, Tachibana stopped explaining.

Part 6

In the classroom, after the end of morning classes.
At the same time, the 10 events submitted by the opposing class were also
announced.
Based on information in the classroom, and based on the number of
participants in various
events, Horikita announced the program proposed by Class A.
'Chess', the number of people needed is 1, and 1 hour for game time (negative
time limit).

time will be made.

Page 116 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

The Commander can revive participants who leave the game at any time.
"Unexpectedly, they also included sports events. I thought they would use
academically focused
events to ensure their victory. But this might just be a hoax."
This is Horikita's first impression after the event was announced. Likewise
Keisei, had the same
thought.
"Even though most people know Chess and Go, there aren't many people who
can play it. It
feels like it's difficult. And sport is also an event that requires quiet
collaboration."
In this class, people have never heard of chess and Go not only because they
don't have them,
but in reality, there weren't many people who have played them.
"There is only a big gap between the expectations and rules of the
Commander's intervention.
The role of the Commander is set to a minimum in most events that use
academic abilities, so
the Commander has little influence on the results."
"This is a very convincing performance from his colleagues. Class A not only
prepared 4 written
examinations with confidence, but also a large number of participants. This is
really complicated
..."
In the written exam so far, Class A often leads other classes in overall scores.
It is because of this confidence that they deliberately increase the number of
participants
needed in the various events being tested.
In these events, because Commanders can intervene very little, we are forced
to fall into
situations of competition in academics.
In addition, not all of the 10 events are written exam types, also a very
appropriate assessment.
If there are as many as 7 to 8 types of written exams, we can also fully
anticipate by learning to
handle them.

Page 117 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

The reason why they did not do this was to prevent us from making
competitive efforts through
targeted preparation.
"Volleyball requires 6 participants, plus substitutes, a total of 9 participants.
Dodgeball 18
participants. Long jump rope up to 20 participants. Of the three, there will
only be one of them,
and some people will probably play in the second round. This is a big event. .
"
Because we don't know which of the 10 events will be chosen on the day, we
can't relax.

In addition, there are events that require more people, so it will require a lot
of time and effort in
staff assignments and practices. If we go to the gym to practice openly, we
will definitely reveal
information to class A. In other words, we must practice clandestinely.
However, it is uncertain whether the event that we choose to practice will be
submitted as a
formal event. If we spend a lot of effort on an event, and it is not even
accepted, then our
previous efforts will be in vain. On the other hand, if we arbitrarily believe
that it is just a
deception event, and do not conduct training, but in the end on the day of the
exam, it is a
formal event, then the gap in the amount of practice will be reflected in
reality. In short, there is
no hope of winning.
It is very important to see the movements of Class A during this week, but if
they are in the
morning or late at night, they will be stuck in the wrong time to practice, it's
not easy to find out.
In addition, they can also be divided into groups to conduct training.
We cannot rule out one of the 10 events, no matter which one we choose.
That's very

Page 118 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

troublesome.
Naturally, there was no event they wanted to take part in here.
"Has anyone in the class ever played Chess or Go?"
Horikita asks everyone in the class. Only Miyamoto raised his hand.
"I've played a little Go with my family. Although I know the rules, but I'm
not very good."
In these two events, it is almost certain that at the initial point we were in
quite a desperate
situation.
I raised my hand a few moments later.
"I've played chess before. But I don't know Go and haven't played it either."
Even though I am the Commander, I will first tell them that I have played
Chess, and I can teach
others later.
"Even if there are experienced players, can we say that we've been lucky?
However, again we
realize how difficult this special exam is. After all, we have to face every
event."
In less than a week, can someone's Chess skills become proficient? If it's bad
luck, we might
only get two events on our side, and the remaining five events are chosen
from the opposing
class.

At that time, there must be a situation where we must depend on the potential
of students in our
class.
But how ...
"What's wrong? Ayanokouji-kun."
Horikita hesitated looking at me.
"... Nothing."
In Chess, the amount of intervention by the Commanders is very large. This
is almost equivalent
to a direct contest between the Commanders.
From this rule, I can see the intention of Sakayanagi to compete in this event.
"Horikita. Shouldn't we do the work of looking for information seriously

Page 119 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

from now on?"
Is it urgent? Keisei asked that.
"... Do you want to find out what events will be proposed by Class A?"
"Yes. To be honest, it's very difficult to make up for our shortcomings in
these 10 events from
now on. Without any information, our hopes of winning are slim."
"But, Class A will also be careful and won't allow information to leak so
easily."
A boy says something that everyone understood.
"Even so we have to do it."
"I can understand your feelings. However, I can't quickly make a decision
now. Let me first see,
who in the class has done what from this list of events."
For the time being, Horikita, put aside the problem of information gathering
and began to create
a full picture of the class’ combat strength.

Page 120 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 7

"Horikita, can we talk for a minute?"
During the break, Keisei spoke to Horikita.
"No problem. Is there something wrong?"
"Just a little ... it's about the special exam."
Keisei didn't want this conversation to be heard, and quietly urged her to go
to the corridor.
Because I may have wanted to see what it was about. As a result, Horikita
turned her head.
"Can you let Ayanokouji-kun join?"
"... Yes."
Keisei obviously was reluctant, but he still accepted it.
I could not refuse, so I had to follow them.
"Have you considered what I said?"
"What is information seeking?"
"Yes."
"About this issue ... I think it will be very difficult to obtain information from
Class A."
"But, if we don't do anything, isn't that a waste of time? You should use this
time more
effectively."
It seems like Keisei wants to start gathering information as soon as possible.
He understood this, in order to make an effort to win, he wanted to do as
much as he could.
"Can we solve this problem just by involving any student from Class A?"
"You're right. I don't think ordinary students will know about the five events
that will be
submitted."
These five events may only be known to Sakayangi, besides, of course, she
will only talk about
it to her trusted people.

Not surprisingly, she will be doing the information management as a whole.
"Even though the program to be submitted later is only known by

Page 121 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Sakayanagi, the people in the
class will always have a little information. Is that right, Kiyotaka?"
"Of course. They always know something in the class."
Because they have lived together for a year, they will know their classmates
to a certain extent,
about who is good at doing what and not.
In this way, we can still estimate to a certain extent, such as who is good at
doing something, so
that it might be submitted as an event on that day.
"That's right. I've been thinking of ways to get information from Class A
students."
"What method?"
Keisei first confirmed that there was no one else around, and then whispered
something.
"Bring Katsuragi to our side."
Katsuragi, formerly the leader of Class A who crossed swords with
Sakayanagi.
"Previously, Yahiko who still worked under Katsuragi was expelled from
school. He must have
hated her for doing so. Recently I met him several times. He was clearly
different from before."
Katsuragi must really hate Sakayanagi.
I remember the day Yahiko dropped out of school, when Katsuragi met with
Ryuuen.
"Do you think he will betray the class just to get back at Sakayanagi?"
"Of course, you need to give him an appropriate profit."
In this case, Keisei seemed to have thought about it.
"If he can bring victory to Class C, even though the end result is 4 wins and 3
losses, we will get
130 class points. From the perspective of the whole class, that is equivalent to
6 million personal
points in a year. Furthermore if we save a number of personal points each
month, it's not
impossible to collect up to 20 million personal points in the end. "
When I heard this, I already knew what Keisei wanted to say after this.
"When we get to class A, we will give Katsuragi the right to move classes.

Page 122 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

What are the
conditions? And in this case, Katsuragi will be our friend."
"First of all, this is something that is not even guaranteed for him. After all,
aren't we C class?"
"But in Katsuragi's current situation, he cannot do anything else."
"Katsuragi-kun's situation may be very bad now. But if his betrayal is
revealed the next time,
Katsuragi-kun himself will have to drop out of school. He doesn't have time
to wait for us to
collect 20 million points. Even if we assume that our class points have risen
significantly and
everyone in the class works together, it will take at least half a year. "
While calculating the problem realistically, I think it's better to estimate about
one year.
And even if it's to get class points, 20 million personal points isn't cheap.
"Horikita, what do you think?"
"... That's right. As Yukimura-kun said, information is very important."
"It means ..."
"But, I completely disagree with Yukimura-kun's proposal."
"W-Why?"
"I also think that Katsuragi-kun right now, is having a hard time. But even so,
I don't think he will
agree to our requirements to betray his class. What can we give? Our
conditions are not very
tempting for him."
If we can immediately get 20 million personal points, we can discuss it, but if
the agreement
requires one year, it will be very difficult to convince him.
"But if you don't do anything, you won't get information."
"Even if I take action, I'm not sure I can get useful information."
"How do you know if you haven't tried?"
Keisei didn't give up, but Horikita also didn't want to give up.
"I'm not completely denying the important role of information. It's just that
this battle is not
possible. If you have thought of a new plan, come back to me later."

Page 123 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

After that, Horikita returned to the classroom.
"Damn it!"
Keisei slammed his fist against the wall.
"... Hey, Kiyotaka, can you help me?"
"Do you want me to persuade Horikita?"
"No ... First of all we must contact Katsuragi."
He really has a strong will.
"I don’t think Horikita hope for victory. But I think, she consciously thinks
that we can't defeat
Class A? Even though we can't win, we must confront him, before anything.
Let's go. Even if we
contact Katsuragi openly, it won't cause problems with the class. "
Even though I didn't want to be here, I couldn’t stop it from continuing.
In this case, I still go with him as an act of saying that I can still understand
the situation.
"How can we contact Katsuragi?"
"That ... let me think about it. However, there is still time left before the
exam. "
"Okay I understand. Then, call me if you think about it. "
To prevent him from acting alone. I said that. In short, let's work with
Keisei's plan.

Page 124 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 8

"Do you have time? There's something I want to talk about now."
After 6:00 p.m., while I was cooking soup, I received a call from Horikita.
The soup was boiling
at this point, and kept rolling on the pan, noisily.
"Are you cooking?"
"No, don't mind."
Even though the soup began to boil, there's nothing special about what I'm
doing.
"So what do you want to talk about?"
If she wants to ask for help with the exam, I will refuse.
"Calm down. I won't ask for your help with the exam. I can promise you."
Horikita understood what I was thinking.
"But ... That's if you're fine, can we meet in person? I'll finish the
conversation in an hour."
Is it something that can't be told over the telephone? Or does she want to
confirm something
directly through the conversation?
One hour? I don’t think it would be good to refuse.
"I understand. Will you come here?"
"That's impossible, because there have been many things going around you
recently. Or can
you come here?"
It seems that she is worried about having unwanted guests coming to my
room and interrupting.
I have also visited Horikita's room before. So there is no problem for that.
After turning off the fire, I took my cellphone, and went outside. Then I took
the elevator and
headed to Horikita's room. Even though the sun had set, it was still evening,
and there were
some boys who were currently walking on the floor where the girls were,
there wouldn't be a big
problem.

Page 125 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 9

After I pressed the doorbell, the door immediately opened.
At first, I thought when she met me, she would have an ordinary serious face,
but the results
were surprising.
"Welcome."
Strangely, Horikita welcomed me with a good mood.
Seeing this unusual appearance, I felt a little anxious.
A fragrant aroma was spread in the room.
"I'm just preparing dinner. Come on in."
Why does she have to call me now? I have a bad feeling...
When I was hesitant to enter, I felt a sharp gaze from Horikita and I was
forced to eliminate the
idea of refusal.
Maybe Horikita didn't want anyone else to know that she called someone to
his room at night.
I decided not to think about it anymore. When I first entered his room, I saw
something strange.
Somehow, 2 sets of food utensils were placed on a small table.
After having a conversation with me, who will she eat with?
"You say ..."
I intended to confirm, but Horikita stopped me.
"Please. Sit there."
No, she wants me to sit there ... However I see a pair of chopsticks placed in
that spot.

My instinct tells me. This is a trap.
"So what do you want to talk about?"
I did not sit down, but tried to cut off the subject immediately.
"You want to talk while standing? I need to prepare what I'm doing here, so
could you sit down
and wait a minute?"
"Oh ... I'd rather stand up."
"What's the matter? I'd feel uncomfortable with you standing like this. Sit

Page 126 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

down."
Since Horikita's tone became stronger, I decided to sit down.
In the past, that was normal, haughty and irrational, and long-sighted.
Because we took the initiative to isolate ourselves for each other's sake, I
have forgotten about
this attitude.
In short, I just have to sit and wait.
However, as far as food is concerned, it is only half done. It takes a long time
to complete.
"I want to ask. Will this conversation really end in an hour?"
"Yes, our conversation will last no longer than an hour."
I felt as if I had been cheated by the conversation I had with Horikita before.
It's true, by phone, she said the conversation would not be over in an hour.
In other words, there were other things that were not included.
"Are the ‘others’ counted in it?"
"Yes, this takes ... one and a half hours to two hours or more?"
Sure enough, is this what that means?
"I think this is also the point. I will prepare dinner. "
Nobody ever expected this kind of thing. Feeling really shaken by the hoax of
her absurd words.

Even so, I had seen that she had placed her plate on the table. I regretted
saying that I had not
eaten dinner yet, and I thought about something like that again. She really
called me out at a
good time.
Even though Horikita turned her back on me, I could see that her cooking
skills were not so bad.
It could even be said that at the standard of a year 1 high school student, she
was very skilled.
"My parents are busy with work, so I often cook for myself."
I felt that Horikita could read my thoughts.
"You don't feel inconvenient, does it require a lot of work?"
Although I was happy after the dish was made, there were other problems.
"After learning that Nii-san entered this school, I took the initiative to

Page 127 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

improve my cooking skills."
"Did you wish to enter this school to live alone?"
"Right."
After cutting the ingredients with a kitchen knife. Horikita started cooking
soup using a
saucepan.
But since it is not a topic of special exams, what will be discussed?
I still don't know about this.

Page 128 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 10

After 15 minutes.
Horikita finished cooking and preparing everything. That's better than I
expected. This is similar
to what I usually see on TV. After that, Horikita sat in front of me.
If this was seen by Sudou, he might be very angry at me.
Even if I say it's just a misunderstanding, it won't work.
Instead, I hope that Sudou has already experienced something like this.
No, even so, I guess that will still make Sudou jealous.
"Come eat."
Urged by her, I immediately took the chopsticks. We faced each other at the
table.
I feel a strong deja vu of this scene.
I remember when I just registered at school, when she invited me to the
cafeteria.
"Are you suspicious of me?"
"I have a bad feeling."
"If someone becomes suspicious of another person's good intentions, then it's
a matter of
proving himself as a human."
"Is this what you have to say?"
"This is special."
"..."
If a dish was made carefully by someone else, it is rude not to eat it.
However, I continued to have suspicions, also human instincts. No, it's just
that from my
experience so far, I have to doubt it. But now this situation was hard to fight
against.
When I entered Horikita's room, the results were already determined.
So I decided to start eating the soup for now.

The taste of soup stimulates the nose. The ingredients used are all healthy for

Page 129 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

the body, with
turnips as the main ingredient.
"Using wheat to improve taste."
After taking a sip of the soup, the sweetness is very strong in the mouth,
which is a
characteristic of this increased flavor.
"You really tasted it. Do you like the taste of miso from this kyushu. I don't
know if it suits you?"
"Your cooking skills are really good."
I honestly praised Horikita, but she wasn't very happy.
"In this day and age, cooking skills are useless, so you don't need to
compliment me. If you
want to cook the food you want to eat, just go to the supermarket or
department store to buy
ingredients, then find the recipe online, it's simple."
Just making food might be simple, but through the arrangement of dishes,
cutting vegetables,
etc., however, will be reflected in the taste of the cooking. This is not
something that can be
learned in a short time.
"Have you ever cooked for Sudou?"
After I asked that, Horikita looked at me a little annoyed.
"Why should I cook for him?"
"No ... You often teach him to study."
"Yes. Maybe, it doesn't matter if I cheer him up with dinner. "
I think I'm just asking questions casually. However, Horikita did not hold
back.
"If I am in a position to ask for advice from him, I can understand why you
are asking this. After
all, it is in return for his hard work. But now I am teaching him, however
much trouble to do
something for him."
It's something I can't deny, but ...
"I don't know if you're smart or stupid?"

This is what I wanted to say. Sudou has a good impression on Horikita. From

Page 130 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

this point, I
thought that Horikita would have already served food for Sudou. However, it
seems that Horikita
doesn't really understand the feelings Sudou has for him. This is actually
because Horikita
hasn't thought about the problem of love in her heart. She is not yet an adult
to realize these
things.
"Okay. Then, can I say something?"
After finishing, she took out a notebook and handed it to me.
I don't need to ask anymore, I know that this is what Horikita had done
recently.
"I am thinking about the best combat plan for Class C. I want to ask for your
opinion."
Then she added the sentence.
"You already ate, my cooking didn’t you?"
This method was dirty. She lied to me before I received the gift, and then told
me that request, of
course, I could not refuse. I immediately took the notebook and opened it. Its
contents, filled
about the upcoming special exam. There is also content related to the 10
events from Class A,
but since it has just been announced today, the content has only just begun to
be written.
By the way, the events chosen by Class C were 'English Written
Examination', 'Basketball',
Archery ', ' Swimming ', ' Tennis ', ' Table Tennis ', ' Typing Ability ', ' Soccer
', ' Piano ', and '
Rock-paper-scissors'.
It seems that the last event was included as a strange strategy when breaking
through
difficulties.
Each event has a good reputation with a high chance of victory. Horikita also
wrote conclusions
from this analysis.
Everything needed for this special exam was summarized in this notebook.

Page 131 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

I read calmly, without letting go of any details. Seeing me like this, she was
very surprised.
"Putting aside the talk about the food, but you didn’t think I'd take it
seriously, did you?"
"Oh, um. I've already prepared alternatives if you refused ..."
"In this special exam, the data that you have analyzed continuously will be
very beneficial.
Without seeing this data, I cannot fully utilize the power of the Commander."

After comparing this data with the information I got from Kei. I found no
difference at all.
"This is a database that records all information in our class."
"I've been troubled all this week. I would have been very inconvenient, if this
wasn't accurate."
With this, to the extreme, anyone can qualify as a Commander's position.
"I will continue to improve on this basis. The final version will cover
everything, including 10
events from Class A. And you can challenge Class A based on this
information. I think so."
"Sudou, Akito, they should be able to become a big power even if they don't
attend one vs. one
events. And in the case of Onodera, the winner will be determined if she ends
up competing
with boys. So, think of the 3rd and 4th candidates for at this time, it will be
better. "
Horikita nodded lightly. It is unfortunate that students who will shine in
various events can be
easily played at an event. Perfecting this data to the point where they should
be, and as much
as possible not making mistakes, that's very good.
"I have no comments about the content. But can I make a request?"
"What is that?"
"Isn’t Chess one of the events proposed by Class A?"
Because there are no students in the class who can play Chess. This section
was still empty.

Page 132 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Yes. For the time being, I haven't thought of this event, because I haven't
tried it myself. Only
you understand the rules in class. I only listened to your opinion when
explaining the program."
"I wanted to tell you. I hope you participate in Chess."
"... Me? Of course, there must be someone practicing for this event but ...
Why should I?"
Horikita thought that she would not be strong enough in Chess or could win
against Class A.
"I think if I want to teach someone to play Chess, then you are the most
suitable person."
"What you mean is, if you teach me Chess, you don't need to build new
relationships with
people. Is that more accurate?"
"I don't deny there is also a reason for that too."

"I don't think I can accept this request ... But there should be some students in
the class who will
listen to you? And even though this sounds a bit arrogant, I can do a better
job at other events
..."
Horikita is basically an all-around student.
She can get good results in both academics and sports exams. She has no
doubt about this
herself.
"Chess requires pure ability. There is a time limit in the Commander's
intervention rules set by
the opposing side. No matter how good Sakayanagi is at Chess, that is not
necessarily enough.
So I don't think she will interfere from the start. In this way, the key to
winning is in the initial
stages of the match. "
If it is already in a difficult at an early stage, it will be problematic for me to
turn things around.
"You are specifically targeting this event not just because you understand the

Page 133 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

rules, right? Do
you predict that Class A will be choosing this event from one of the five?"
"It’s almost guaranteed. It's exactly that. In this event, the Commander holds
a great amount of
authority. Isn't that interesting?"
"Really, I'm interested as well ... Well, I'll listen to you."
I'm grateful that Horikita agreed with my request. Then I continued to eat.
"So how should I practice?"
"I was thinking we could practice online in the middle of the night, but it may
be difficult for you."
"Indeed, in this way, other people won’t know about it. And no details we be
leaked out."
Not overlapping with other training times is also an advantage.

Part 11

I look forward to the resolution of this problem, but it was not as simple as
that.
"Ayanokouji-kun, I have something to ask again. You’ve already eaten my
food, right?"
"You’ve said that over and over again. Isn’t that too cruel?"
In the middle of the meal, the devil strikes again.
Why?
"Cruel? You think what I am doing cruel."
"What do you mean ?"
"During the vote in the previous exam, you tricked me into making a move
behind the scenes?
Answer me."
"I don’t know what you are talking about ..."
"At that time I got advice from Nii-san. But, you are really the person behind
it."
It doesn't look like she was just guessing.
However, Horikita's brother could not have possibly revealed this to her.
"At first I didn't realize it, but after thinking it through, I came to a
conclusion."
That is, it was a conclusion she made herself.
"My actions have been seen through by you."
"Even if I deny it, I don't think you will believe me."
"That’s correct, I don't have any proof. Even when I asked Nii-san, he didn’t
reveal anything to
me either. But, I'm sure of it."
Throughout the year, Horikita has began to grow little by little.
This is a fact, even her brother admitted it.
But as the relationship with her brother gradually subsided, Horikita's talents
have begun to
develop.

The more time she spends with her brother, the more he could understand her
talent. Because

Page 135 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

of this, Horikita's brother must have been very disappointed with her, who
only continued to
pursue his shadow.
"You look very nervous."
"I feel very pressured by your questions now."
"Well, forget it. From your attitude, I know you won't say anything."
With this, Horikita ended the conversation. It seems that she will become
more difficult to
manipulate in the future.
"I still have one more thing to ask, but it's okay for you not to answer this
question."
Horikita looked at me closely, as if she was implying that she would not let
me escape.
"Can you win in this battle against Sakayanagi-san?"
"She shouldn't be an opponent that can't be beaten. After reading your notes, I
suppose so."
"... Yes, if it's like that. I'll try to adjust the class to the best conditions."
"For now, you have done very well."
When Hirata did not do anything, almost the entire class followed Horikita
lead.
Paving a road to victory.
This is something I can't do in my position. So I really wanted to thank her,
because Horikita can
take action in completing these tasks for me.
"I will leave everything to you beforehand. Everything is at your discretion."
"I already know. But, in terms of Commander's rules, isn't it better for you to
come up with them
yourself?"
"That was left to you too."
"... Are you planning to only use the pieces that I have prepared to fight?"
"Besides, I don't know all the details of our class."

"That's right ... if you say so, it's too naive to expect a win against Class A."
"That's the way it is."
Horikita led me to the door, opened it and told me to leave.
"Thank you for your hospitality ... But I hope you won’t use this trick again

Page 136 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

next time."
I can already imagine that I would become paranoid everytime I receive an
invitation.
"Okay, I'll think of another method."
No, I didn't mean it like that.

Part 12

A few days before the match against Class A, Keisei managed to contact
Katsuragi.
Keisei immediately contacted me to meet at a quiet location.
Katsuragi was basically isolated from Class A. He was often alone, so it was
easy to approach
him.
"... So, what is it you called me out for Yukimura?"
Apparently, the man who had a strong anger towards Sakayanagi, looked at
Keisei with a sharp
eyes.
"Katsuragi, I want to ask for your help with something."
"From the moment you came to see me, it could only be for one thing."
Katsuragi already knew what Keisei wanted to say.
"I’ll make it quick. I hope you can tell me about the five official events your
class has chosen.
One more thing, I want you to interfere during the exam."
Keisei also requested something that had not been mentioned to Horikita and
I.
"What benefits do I get out of do this?"

"We will welcome you to our class, Katsuragi."
"That is very interesting. You want me to betray Class A and then drop to
Class C? "
Katsuragi sneered and refused Keisei's request.
"One day, our class will be promoted to Class A. We have the power to do
so."
At that time, the agreement will take effect, and Keisei once again
emphasized this.
However, to Katsuragi this was nothing more than a mere dream.
"We will be promoted to Class A someday? If you ask any other class, they
will say things like
that."

Page 138 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"That ..."
"If you really are capable of being promoted to Class A, then you wouldn’t
need to do this kind of
thing. How can you win against Class A? Precisely, because you can't do
that, you don't
hesitate to use me to increase your chances of victory. Am I right?"
Hearing the insulting tone of Katsuragi, Keisei couldn't refute it, and was
speechless.
"Okay. Even if you will be promoted to Class A, are you saying that you will
be giving me 20
million personal points just for a bit of information? No, this is not possible.
If you had so many
points, then you could have prevented Yamauchi from being expelled."
Katsuragi is sure that we didn’t have that many points.
"That ..."
"Are you intending to tell me to wait 2 years for you to pay 20 million
points?"
"... It means."
"This is an over-exaggeration. Even if you go up to Class A in the future,
there is no guarantee
that you will have prepared 20 million by then. In fact, even if we made an
agreement now, if you
don't have that many points when the time comes, isn't it meaningless? No,
even before that, I
doubt this decision has been thoroughly discussed with everyone in Class C. "
Katsuragi is not just any ordinary student. He is very knowledgeable about
our class’ situation.

Page 139 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Page 140 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

If this was the resolution of the entire Class C, it would of been someone
such as Horikita who
would come to see him.
When he saw that it was Keisei and I, he must have guessed that it was just a
conversation
done in secret.
"I can understand that it is urgent, but you are not ready for negotiations. You
intend to do so
after I make the promise. Do you think I can accept that?"
Betraying his class, this is not something that can be easily done.
Not to mention the person of negotiation is a man who values camaraderie.
"... After Sakayanagi is defeated, do you still intend to remain silent in
sadness?"
"What?"
"Totsuka has dropped out of school. Even so, do you plan to continue holding
onto Class A?"
He knew that a direct attack could not get Katsuragi to agree, so his
resentment increased.
"You're not even sure that you can even graduate in such a sad state. This is
too much!"
"Is this your final option, Yukimura? This is a sad negotiation method."
"That..."
Katsuragi also asked me.
"Do you have something to say Ayanokouji?"
"No, you're right. We don't have anything else to say."
After seeing that I had given up, Katsuragi didn't look at me again.
"Yukimura, I don't mean to blame you at all. However, if you want to draw
others to your side,
you can't do it without your own awareness."
Katsuragi leaned against the wall and stared off into the distance.

It was as if he was looking at something, even though there was saw nothing.
"However, what you are saying is true."
"... Right?"
It was due to his regret from losing the war with Sakayanagi, therefore
Katsuragi wanted to say
