damage with no benefits. There is no sense of stability in the class because
there isn’t anybody to act as a mitigator.
"In short, start with you."
"By the way, it's hard to talk in general, so let's put it in the form of
questions."
If that’s what she wants, then I will ask her about each girl one by one.
I began to plant a picture of all the Class C girls in my mind in the order of
the student absence list.

Part 4

"—It's almost like this."
In less than 10 minutes, I received all the information I needed from Kei.
"Hey. Do you even remember everything I said? Even if you ask me to repeat
it again, I won't say it."
"No problem. "
"What, did all that information ‘come to mind'?"
"Almost like that."
Ah - is that true? So fabulous. From Kei's attitude, she seemed to praise me
like that.
"Is it true that the opponent is Class A? After all, that is a bad thing, right?"
"I won’t be fighting, instead it will be you and your classmates. Even though
the Commander can interfere, it can't always change the situation. Isn't it
more appropriate to say that you have a problem?"
"Oh. I-me? I said ~ ..."
Kei seemed to want to say something, but she ended up speechless.
"... Could you please keep me from participating in the events?"
"That's not something I can decide on my own. Depending on the opponent's
strategy, there is a possibility of playing twice."
"No, no. I can't. I'm not good at studying or exercising."
Kei shook her head strongly and stated that she didn't want to compete.
"Even though the opponent is Sakayanagi-san, Kiyotaka will definitely win."
Kei gave her thumbs up. Just because you don't want to participate, and don't
want to be responsible.
However, in reality, Kei could not fully understand my level.
"That would be easy if no one expected you? "
"I guess that's true."
If there is no hope, it's easy to say something like that.
"So was that all you wanted to say? Did you really have to meet me in
person?"
If that's all, it would have been better to call, and that makes Kei grin.
"There are things that are easier to understand when we meet in person,
right?"
Since that was not the answer she wanted, Kei's expression still looked stiff.

Page 43 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Oh ... in short, it's over, right? Then, may I ... leave now?"
Maybe Kei felt that, although this continued, the situation would not change.
When the minimum required topic was complete, Kei said this sentence:
"If there's something important, I'll contact you again."
"... Yes."
Judging from Kei's expression, she seemed to be expecting something, but
immediately gave up.
Until the very end she remained stubborn, and ended up not saying anything.
Of course, if she said something, it would be easier for me to act ...
"Wait a minute. There are still a few things I want to talk about."
In order prevent Kei from seeing it in my room, I put the 'item' in the drawer.
To get the item, I stood up.
"What? If there's something you want to talk about, say it earlier."
"Today, it's your birthday."
"Hey - did you already know that ..."
I took the 'item' that had been prepared beforehand from the drawer. I asked
the store at the school to order it and wrap it in birthday gift packaging.
"I just wanted to tease you."
"Don't say weird things, if you have a present, give it as soon as possible.
But, I have already received many good gifts from my friends. So the
difficulty in satisfying me has increased. "
Kei said this, and looked away as she held out her hands to me.
Seeing this appearance, I immediately stopped when I was about to give a
gift.
"Do you really want it?"
"No, I don't want it."
"If you don't want it, then I don't need to force it on you."
"Ha ha !! Since you have decided to give someone a gift, you should at least
give it to the person! "
She said something unclear.
"However, this gift is also combined with White day."
"Of course ... This is getting 'troublesome, so just give the present?"
Kei who sighed as if helpless, took the gift from me.
Kei was a little surprised because the box was so small and so light.
"Is there even something inside?"
"I don't have the courage to give someone an empty box as a present."

Page 44 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

If something like that was done, it would make Kei angry.
"So, I'll confirm the contents, no problem with you?"
Kei tried to confirm the contents of the box as if she was a police officer who
was interrogating me. She carefully opened the gift wrapping paper and
opened the lid.
What appeared there was a piece of metal that shined in gold.
"What ... What is this !?"
Even though she was shocked, no matter who saw it, they could obviously
tell what it was.
"It is a necklace."
"Yes, even I can see it! This is too heavy a gift, you know!"
"Weight?"
"E-after all, that necklace isn't something you normally give to a friend, you
know!"
Even though she said that ...
I could not understand what she was trying to say and tilted my head.
But Kei didn't give an answer, as if she still had something to say.
"And ... and you know? It seems like it wouldn’t suit me either! It's heart
shaped, you know! "
She was referring to the heart-shaped object that hung at the core of the
necklace.
Looks like this birthday present was not a ‘good’ present.
"It's heart-shaped, you know!"
Once again, she stressed that she did not like it very much.
"Fuu, fuu." (breathing heavily)
Even if it's me, I would definitely feel a little hurt if they were to protest
against a gift like this.
Regardless of what the object is, giving a gift is in the hope that it would be
appreciated by others.
"Is this not too expensive?"
"It's not cheap. It's almost around 20,000 Yen."
"20,000 - why did you choose an expensive necklace ......"
"Even if you ask ......"
While Kei who saw me blushed.
It seems, it is better to answer honestly here.
"To be honest, I have never given a birthday gift to a girl. Therefore, I

Page 45 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

decided to gather information and search the Internet. Then I found gifts for
women recommended by the 'Online shop' site from a large-scale order
website. They also said that it's “very popular with high school girls."
I still remember the promotion that stated 'whether it's a lover or not, this is
the best choice for White day'.
At the same time, I also considered that it was necessary to pay the
appropriate amount for both the birthday and White day at the same time.
"Oh wow ..."
I always felt that Kei was surprised by my thoughts.
Maybe I made a mistake.
"Even though you are very smart, but this is a bit awkward. Or it's too naive.
Even though it's very popular among high school girls, women prefer to
choose themselves. Choose what you think fits or suits my interests.
Fortunately, it's not a ring that requires a specific finger size ... Frankly, in a
rating of 100, the evaluation of this prize is only 10 points. "
Even though I prepared an expensive gift, the result was disappointing.
In the end, she explained to me how high school girls were, and there were
many factors to think about.
I thought it was a gift of good intentions, but if I were asked, 'Did I really
consider the mood of others?', I would doubt it myself.
"Then how many points would I get if I gave a box of snacks?"
"15 points."
I didn't expect a box of snacks to score higher than a necklace that was worth
20,000 Yen.
"Since it's already opened, I might not be able to return it. If you don't want
it, just leave it here before leaving. If you don't mind waiting a few more
days, I can get you a box of snacks, I'll prepare the gift again."
I made this suggestion while feeling my lack of knowledge.
I expected it to be worth more than 10 points or 15 points.
Even though I thought so ...
"......"
Kei saw the necklace and then looked at me.
Then she placed the necklace that I thought would be returned on her neck.
Kei said, 'Let me borrow a mirror,' then used my mirror to look at it.
"Hmm ... As I thought, the heart shape is rather childish. But I think I look
cute, no matter what I wear."

Page 46 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Page 47 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Even though I couldn't stop myself from thinking 'are you really a first year
high school student?', Kei looked very serious.
This short pause of time confirmed whether or not the necklace matched with
her own perspective, and then she nodded after being satisfied with it.
I think she just wants to try it, and will return it later. But after carefully
removing the necklace, she put the box in her bag.
"Looks like this is the first gift you have given girl? I'll help you out with
that."
"... In that case it will be better."
Besides, even if she gave it back to me, there wasn’t anybody else I could
give it to.

CHAPTER 4

What the Class is Lacking

The next day, after deciding which class to face.
Like yesterday, we will have a discussion after school. Because of this, there
are no special restrictions on today's lunch break.
The Ayanokouji group routinely gathered after lunch.
We immediately joined in the corner of the classroom.
"How was the discussion yesterday?"
I asked my friends about yesterday.
Because the Commander needs to decide which class to fight, it takes about
one hour for the teacher to explain. When I returned to class at that time, the
students had returned to the dormitory.
"Have you not been told by Horikita-san? ... That's not surprising. "
Airi said something unclear. But soon she said again.
"Is there a guide for the event? It's difficult for everyone to understand the
rules ..."
"There wasn’t even any discussion at all. It was a waste of time."
As if remembering that day, Keisei sighed.
It seems that lunch time alone is not enough to understand the rules. In the
meantime, let everyone understand the rules first and end the discussion. It
seems like that's what Class C is trying to do.
"And the problem isn't only within the class."
"What do you mean Yukimu?"
"In schools, there are very few places that can accommodate students for
discussion."
"Even if we go to karaoke or Keyaki Mall. Of course, it is not possible to
accommodate up to 40 people. But what happened to that?"
"After yesterday's discussion, I was the first person to leave the classroom ...
At that time I saw several students from Class A in the corridor outside our
class."
What's wrong with that? Haruka and Airi looked at each other.
Even though Akito didn't understand at first, he immediately understood it

Page 49 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

after a while.
"... Are they spies?"
"That's right. In this exam, the information we decided on in class was very
important, right? Even though they only listened to what happened in Class
C, they were able to retrieve some information."
What programs are likely to be chosen, or who is good at what.
Of course, getting such information will be more beneficial for their class.
In other words, the battle had already begun.
"From this point of view, Class C is lagging behind."
"This is bad. Has Sakayanagi-san already acted? "
While spreading her arms, Haruka wondered.
"In that case. Do we also have to gather information from Class A? An eye
for an eye and a tooth for a tooth."
Haruka suggested that.
However, Keisei would not easily approve it.
"If it's that simple, then you don't need to work hard."
"Hm?"
"Maybe it's not just me. Horikita also should know that there's no point in
doing that. Now, I think that class A is still outside the classroom. Besides, is
there even a place that can accommodate 40 people for discussion?"
Especially with the lack of unity in Class C, whatever must be done, it must
be based on unity.
It was not the same as Class A, and students who were at the top, like
Sakayanagi, for example, can immediately decide everything easily.
Who will be the Commander, who will consider the event, and who will
gather information. Conversely, when the special exam starts, who decides to
do those things.
Even though they also discuss in the classroom as Class C does, they will
keep two or three people on guard to prevent spying.
"But, let's try it first. Isn't that great? Maybe some of them are negligent.
Then they will deliberately talk about it in class, right?"
"If that's the case, I'm afraid, I would doubt the credibility of the information
obtained."
If the information you hear is wrong, it would only be a waste of time. That's
the thought of Keisei. Information is something that should be hidden, and
information that is not hidden will be doubted.

Page 50 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"But, information itself is absolutely necessary. What's important is how to
use it ..."
"Can we even win?"
Feeling filled with anxiety from people - Airi felt uneasy.
"It seems that it would be better if we lead one or two steps ahead."
Class C, which has not yet been decided, has no dominance at all.
"But, I didn't expect to be fighting with Class A."
"Sorry. I feel guilty for not winning the lottery."
But, even if I win the lottery, I will still end up choosing Class A, and I
would apologize on the surface later.
"Ah, no, I didn't mean it like that! Sorry Sorry! I didn’t mean to blame you at
all! "
To my surprise, Haruka seemed to think that my apology was quite heavy,
and she panicked.
"Haruka, Letting people take a quarter of the lottery possibilities, however
you do it, it is very difficult."
Hearing the words from Akito, Haruka cringed.
"Th-that's why I didn't mean it like that ..."
Haruka tried to change the situation, after a little thought.
"If they give a little convenience, it will be fine. After all, their opponent is
Class C. Are you thinking about the same thing?"
"Making it easy for us ... Is Sakayanagi someone who would do that?"
"... I can't see it at all. She not only destroyed Yamauchi-kun, she even
completely destroyed the unity of Class C."
Haruka raised her head and looked at the ceiling listlessly.
"But you have a problem, Kiyotaka. You are forced to be the Commander in
this situation."
Keisei tapped me on the shoulder because he was worried.
"Well, I have some protection points, however. There is no choice but for me
to be the Commander. Even if I lose, there is no need to worry about being
expelled from school."
All I can do now is say this to my friends.
For whatever reason, I arbitrarily guided the situation and let the class fight
against Class A.
"The opponent is Class A. Even if we lose, it's not Kiyotaka's responsibility."
"After all, Sakayanagi is also the Commander."

Page 51 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Among 100 people, 99 people will think that Sakayanagi will win. Judging
from this situation, even if I lose, my position in class won't change. On the
other hand, if I win, they will only evaluate it as 'Horikita's successful
leadership and strategy.'
"Yes ... it might be difficult to win."
Keisei raised his arm, seeming to give up and heaved a sigh of relief.
But Akito made an unexpected comment.
"Even though the opponent is Class A, it's not entirely impossible to win."
"Is it like that ... No, I don't want to lose ..."
"Although this is not a secret, but isn't there a way to defeat Class A?"
Akito began to explain.
"When this test was first announced. I also felt that there was no chance of
winning against the upper classes. However, because of Ike's spontaneous
comments, I saw a small chance of winning."
"What did Ike-kun say? Is that about Rock-paper-scissors?"
When Haruka added that. Akito nodded in agreement.
"At first I thought this exam was very stupid. However, if we choose an event
that relies on luck, then no matter who the opponent is, there is a possibility
of winning around 50%. If we enter the game of the king or rich man, we can
also arrange 5 types of events on that day "As for the lucky event, I think it
doesn't matter."
After hearing Akito's explanation, Haruka suddenly became more cheerful.
"If you fight with such a strategy, you can compete in at an equal level with
class A or B!"
"Yes! I think that's a good idea!"
"No ...... I don't think it's that simple."
Unlike the three happy people, Keisei calmly criticized this strategy.
"I don't know if I have calculated it correctly. But the chances of winning
with this strategy are only 5%, up to 10%."
"Is it very low? But, even though we can't say that the winning percentage is
50%, there should be a 2 times the chance of winning. About 30% of it? Is it
difficult to win 5 events or 4 events?"
"It takes a lot of luck to get that development, as Haruka said."
If among the 5 out of 7 events to be selected are those proposed by Class C,
and need to get 4 or more wins in the event determined by luck. If the chance
of winning each event is counted by 50%, then the chance gained is ...

Page 52 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

I counted the opportunity in my mind.
Among the 7 events, the chance that all of the 5 events proposed by class C,
will be selected is 8.33%
In 5 match events, if the odds of winning are more than 4 events where it is a
50% chance of winning is 18.75%.
The conclusion drawn by the two is 1.56% chance, not even 5% ... It's hard to
guarantee that we can win only with luck.
However, this only takes into account the simple side, which is relying on
luck to win more than 4 events.
Even though it is likely to change due to various factors, there is no doubt
that this is not a good strategy.
In this case, it's better to take more risks and choose the event that we are
good at.
It's better to have fewer shows that depend on 50% luck.
"Can't it? No, even though I know maybe it won't work."
Akito knew that he was too naive and scratched his face. Suddenly I realized
that Airi was worried about me. He looked more anxious after our eyes met.
"Kiyotaka-kun ... Is it alright? Being Commander-"
Since the difficulty of defeating Class A is ahead of us, it's no wonder he
thinks this way.
"Yeah. Even though there are points of protection, don't force yourself too
much,"
Haruka added half of Airi's words.
"Haruka is right. At least we never thought you were connected to
Sakayanagi. Right?"
Everyone nodded and confirmed this statement. Being trusted by them is not
a bad thing.
"Well, although it seems that some students in the class have doubts, but
everyone understood through the explanation from Horikita-san. Although, at
first, I also felt that having a protection point was very good, but having this
would be very troublesome."
"Although I envy people who can get protection points, after seeing
Kiyotaka-kun, I think, if I were in the same position, I would also use it
immediately."
The fact that only one person is in the safe zone in the class. It's hard to stay
still. However, Keisei denied with his hand and denied Airi's weak voice.

Page 53 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"I won't give up protection points even if the people around me say
anything."
"Even though this will cause resentment, anger and hatred among your
classmates?"
"The premise is wrong. I don't want anyone else to make arbitrary statements
about what you get with your strength. It's better to say that to protect
themselves, you must take good care of them."
As if he had been a victim, resentment gathered in his hands.
Akito, who had been silent until now, looked at me and spoke.
"Actually, it's hard to fight against class A, and I'm grateful that Kiyotaka
accepted it, if it was another student, would he be the second person to leave
school? Or if it was Keisei, could you volunteer as a Commander?
"That's ... Hey, that's right."
However, they did not understand what Keisei wanted to convey. Although
more talented students can become Commanders, he wants to get a solid
victory. He wants to show that attitude.
"This exam also came with an annoying punishment, because it could cause
dropping out of school. If there were no punishment, who do you think is
most suitable for the Commander? After all it's only Horikita-san, right?"
Airi lowered her head, revealing the candidates in mind.
"You're right, I will choose Horikita-san. Or choose Hirata-kun or Kushida-
san? Fortunately, Yukimu can do it too."
He quoted several students' names, all of which tended to leave stable results
if they served as Commanders.
"Hirata, ah ... how's the situation?"
Akito who thought that discussing topics related to class A would make the
atmosphere very gloomy. He tried to change the subject.
"Keisei, how do you see the result of the battle between Class D and Class
B?"
He mentioned the other battle of this special exam.
"In all of the possibilities, I think it will be Class B's victory. There is a large
gap between the two classes. The overall strength of class B is also high."
"Yes, of course. The Commander is not Ryuuen-kun but Kaneda-kun. "
There is nothing to fear with Class D that is missing Ryuuen. That feeling
might be right.
However, Ishizaki and the others hoped that Class D could fight Class B from

Page 54 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

the start. This assessment cannot be underestimated. If I were in the position
of Class D leader, I would also call class B as an opponent. Class A is led by
Sakayangi, and there are also strong opponents such as Katsuragi and
Hashimoto, plus students who have high academic ability throughout the
year. Because I'm in Class C, they shouldn't want to fight against me. Of
course, there are some aspects that they can expect that I will remain in
shadow, but basically the advantages of Class D are not academic abilities
but physical abilities. If they want to maximize this ability, they must choose
Class B. However, it hasn't reached the level of being able to win or be in an
advantageous position at the very least.
In fact, whether Class D can win depends on the chosen program and the luck
of the exam.
It is only a small possibility that appears.
"Ah, look over there."
Haruka muttered that sentence, in his view - Hirata walked to the cafeteria.
He walks heavily, and his steps are very much like a zombie or ghost.
His eyes have no confidence, and his appearance is very different from his
usual one.
"This is really ... serious."
Haruka muttered, and there was nothing more to say. The man thinks more of
the class than anyone else, and always acts for class. At the beginning after
registration, no one in the class had dropped out. Hirata, who created the
situation, was undoubtedly a good achievement.
"This special test, Hirata cannot be expected. It is very difficult to fight with
Class A. This attitude of his has caused the class to bear heavy losses since
the start of the exam."
Keisei's comment sounded rather cold.
"There is no way for us to save him."
Other students often approached Hirata.
But at the moment, there seemed to be nobody, not even an outsider, who
could bring a change in him.
In short, the damage from the previous exam inflicted on him continued to
spread, the wound getting bigger.
In the Ayanokouji group, no one is very close to Hirata.
So, of course, the encouragement of our group might not be conveyed to
him.

Page 55 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

For this reason, nobody reacted to Keisei's slightly cold statement.

Page 56 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

PART 1

Finally, the real discussion is about to begin after school. But one person
immediately left his chair, that was Hirata.
"Hirata-kun!"
"Hi-Hirata-kun!"
Several girls called out to Hirata at the same time. One of them is Mii-chan.
However, Hirata did not stop. As if to say that he did not care about what
happened to the class.
Just not to add to the chaos in class, he just came to school, attended class
and returned to the dormitory.
He kept repeating this routine.
"Wait, Hirata-kun!"
"Please stop."
With a strong tone, Horikita stopped Mii-chan and the others who were
planning to catch up to him.
"We will start discussing soon. Do you want to increase the number of absent
people?"
"B-but ..."
"We can't do anything in this situation. Return to your seats."
Horikita pressed them to stop chasing and return to their seats.
It's time to change the mood. The most important thing is to determine class
policy first.
"Speaking of which, why are you still here Koenji? "
Sudou was surprised, because an unexpected man was put in the discussion.
"Fufufufu, I am also a member of this class? Of course I will participate."
He said something like that, as if it were normal.
"But I hope the discussion will end quickly. I'm very busy."
"This is difficult, this special exam is not something that can be decided in an
instant, even if the event has been decided, we must defend it to win the
event."
Horikita, standing in front, refused Koenji's request.
Koenji no longer denied that, he just smiled.
It seems that it can be described as 'I'll listen to you for now.'
"In this case, I'm afraid, I'll only participate this time."

Page 57 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

However, Koenji will not be shaken. Regardless of class goals, he seems to
have no intention to help. Sudou wanted to provoke him, but after a glance
from Horikita, he immediately sat down again. If there is a dispute here, there
is no way to continue the discussion.
"I will only do some work around you, so I want you to come to participate in
another time."
Koenji smiled at Horikita, and adjusted his arms and legs.
This is the signal for her to continue the discussion.
"Horikita. I have a simple question about participation in this event."
"What is it, Ike-kun?"
Ike stood up raising his hand.
"It seems that there are only 7 events chosen in total. So we shouldn't be
participating?"
"Who do you mean by 'we'?"
"Oh ... in short, it means students who are less talented. Those of us who are
not too good at sports and academics. It should not be our turn to play. Of the
7 events, not all types of events will require many people to participate "If we
choose to use several elites on the type of event that can be won, so wouldn't
there be a lot of people who don't need to do anything?"
Nearly 40 students are registered in each class.
Even if we choose one or two team events, a total of 7 events might only play
2 to 30 people.
In short, he wanted to say that according to the composition of the selected
members, almost half of them would not be able to participate in the event.
"This kind of thing is not certain. What if we run an event that requires 20
people to participate in it?"
Kei made the statement to answer Ike's opinion.
"You idiot -Karuizawa. Football only has 11 members in one team. Isn't that
the event with the most members? I can't think of anything else."
"Then ...... What about baseball?"
"Baseball is for 10 people, less than football."
"Baseball only consists of 9 people."
Immediately a sharp voice came from Horikita.
"... Umm, well, that's why we don't need us at all."
"There's more, American football needs 11 members and as far as I
remember Rugby needs 15 members."

Page 58 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Sudou mentioned an event that needed more than 10 members.
"But will that make people understand Rugby? I don't even know the rules."
Rugby is not a light sport, but it is a sport that is completely unknown to
people who have never seen it. This kind of thing is not taught in physical
education. Even students in Class A are no exception.
I can't even imagine the Rugby training scene from now on.
Not only is it difficult to implement as an event, but there is also no benefit
for the class.
"So, I don't think it's our turn to play."
"What do you want to say?"
"That ... I want to say that there is no need for this kind of discussion, and
what to do with the event."
"I understand that you want to relax a little. It's true, if someone does
something they don't want to do, someone will definitely have a mental
burden. And that will also reduce valuable rest time."
"I didn't say that. ......"
"But I judge that everyone needs to work with each other."
"Tell me the reason. If I can accept it, I will fully support you."
Sudou said this.
"It depends on the rules of each to determine how many people are needed.
For example, the opponent has chosen volleyball. Usually volleyball is a 6 vs
6 sport, but there is also a certain right to change the rules. If your opponent
has made a '30 minutes rule within the time limit of the game. What happens
if the rules for changing all players are set every 10 minutes in the game? ' "
"If ... 6 people are changed every 10 minutes ..."
Need 18 people needed. Nearly half of the students must participate in this
event.
In addition, because 6 people are required at the same time, it can be said that
it is a rule that can be proposed without problems at any level. The school
side is also easy to give permission for such an event.
"If there is more than one event like that? Frankly, maybe we should force
everyone to participate in two or three events. This level of psychological
preparation is needed."
Of course, that depends on the event and the rules issued by a class.
In other words, in order to never let your opponent feel relaxed, fake events
can also be integrated into it.

Page 59 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"I think there should be people who don't have real feelings, but this is a
special test that is more complicated than you think."
If we go on to make one event at a time, there will be some people who think
this behavior is stupid.
Even if there are events like Rock-paper-scissors, Playing Cards, and such.
As Ike had said, it was not surprising.
Because we have to win 4 events, we don't have time to worry.
Regardless of the content, choose a program that can be won with certainty
and choose the people who need it.
"I don't plan on staying too long today."
In other words, even if we linger, we won't be able to find good ideas.
"So let's leave the topic to everyone here. Until tomorrow, after school, I
hope you guys think of 'an event you are good at' and 'an event that will keep
you from losing.' It doesn't matter whether the event is an individual game or
a team game. "
Among the 5 events, at least 'one vs one' event must be specified. I'm
worried, no matter which class we are in, we will challenge this event with
the belief that we will never lose. But on the other hand, the damage suffered
when we lose is unpredictable. I hope that a student will have the skills and
talents that others cannot beat.
"But, that won't necessarily be accepted by the school, right? I don't know the
requirements for acceptance well."
Events and rules that are too light will be rejected by the school.
Most students do not understand this standard.
"Now don't worry about this. After this is over, I will consider whether the
event will be recognized by the school? No matter what the event, you may
come up with any thoughts."
"In other words games, karaoke and the like, that doesn't matter?"
"Yes, that doesn't matter."
Once again, Horikita stressed that they did not need to worry about that.
That is a good thing to do.
It's important to first gather as much information about what students are
good at.
"What do we do if we are not good at anything?"
Haruka, added her doubts to Horikita.
"It doesn't matter if someone who doesn't have the confidence to answer. It's

Page 60 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

very risky to use events that you don't believe in."
Although she hopes that there will be more events proposed, there is no time
for rigorous selection. There is nothing wrong with that, so there should be no
problem watching her.
"Is it okay if we end the discussion this quickly?"
"If the discussion time is very short, can you easily participate next time?
Kouenji-kun. "
"I told you just this once."
"... But, I had a problem solving the 'question' that I did today, otherwise it's
difficult to say that you have participated in the discussion."
"Is that the event people think about, what they are good at?"
He put a hand on his chin and kept smiling.
"Yes. If you say that you have participated in the discussion, you must take
the results."
Horikita's goal is to get him to join a second time if he doesn't get the results.
Koenji stood tall and told Horikita a sentence.
"I can do anything. After all, I'm a perfect human being."
"That means, no matter what kind of opponent you meet or what kind of
event you attend, can you win?"
Although it contains half of a provocation, it is not something we can place
hope in.
For this question, what would be Koenji's answer?
"I can win at the event I attend. Should I agree with you on this matter?"
"Yes. If you can do that, it doesn't matter if you face this special test. There is
no need for you to participate in future discussions and I won't ask you for
any advice."
"Hey. That's not a good thing, Horikita."
Sudou panicked at this unexpected statement, but Horikita continued.
"But remember! If you don't participate or lose the event ... then I will doubt
all your comments, and your classmates' distrust of you will also increase."
That's not a bad idea, Horikita. By doing this, she can make full use of Koenji
on the exam day. Although Koenji's academic and physical abilities are
number one, the only worrying factor is his personality. Better to ignore than
meet him today and not take him seriously. What is Koenji's answer? Koenji
who was just about to leave the classroom had stopped.
"That's just one thing. Don't think you can connect me with your words. Even

Page 61 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

though I'm a genius who can't be defeated by anyone, I have the right to
decide whether or not I will use my ability for your benefit."
In other words, the response from Koenji is almost the same. Even if his
comments would be suspected in the future, and distrust of him surged, this
was no problem for him. He will only do what he wants.
Leaving this sentence, Koenji took a step and left the classroom.
"... The usual method doesn't apply to him at all."
"He underestimates people. Besides saying he is a genius who will not lose to
anyone. If I were his opponent, I would defeat him in basketball."
I can understand Sudou's feeling of being very upset.
No matter how talented a person is, he cannot do well at all.
Even if Koenji fights Sudou in basketball, I doubt that he can win.
"If he plays that day, he might be able to leave a certain level of results. Even
though I don't know how much he's listening, I can only wait and see.
Right?"
"That's what he said ..."
Of course, it's hard to imagine Koenji's participation. Just because he has
always refused to participate, we cannot rule out the possibility that 'he might
take it seriously this time'. Sudou is also very understanding about this.
"But, do you think he will play it seriously?"
"I have no idea."
If he chooses to be serious, he can produce victory. But if he doesn't, he will
not produce results.

Part 2

The next day. I was told by Horikita that she had arrived early at school.
"In this exam, I won't be able to count Hirata-kun as a contributor."
Yesterday, even Koenji made some comments in the discussion after school,
but Hirata refused to participate.
It was natural for Horikita to come to this decision after seeing this situation.
"An understandable decision. If you attempt to rely on him, it would create
too many worrying factors."
Even if you force him to participate, it seems like it would only be
counterproductive.
"Although his absence is acceptable for this exam, depending on situations in
the future, it may create larger problems."
His concern is not a big problem.
Everyone really hoped that Hirata would recover, but it is still unclear what is
needed to be done for him.
"If you think that leaving Hirata out doesn't matter. Is there a way to get him
to drop out of school?"
After I gave her this proposal, she was somewhat surprised but calmly
accepted it.
"That's right ... well, he might be thinking about it too. Luckily this time, he
hasn't decided to drop out yet. If he did, he would have volunteered to
become the Commander"
In this special exam, Hirata had the opportunity to volunteer to become the
Commander and deliberately lose, resulting in his expulsion. This would
have been easy for him.
However, even though he had no attachments to this school, he did not want
to make other people feel upset.
For this reason, he made no steps to become the Commander.
The reason he is still in the school now is, if he drops out, the class may get a
negative evaluation. He doesn't want to make trouble to others when he
leaves.
However, this viewpoint may be only limited to 'now'.
"But no one can guarantee that he will always continue to be a good person. I

Page 63 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

don't know when he will accept this himself ..."
"Yes."
If Hirata accepts it himself as Horikita said, I don't know how Hirata will
handle it. If it were like that, what will happen?
If he dropped out of school, it would lead to the downfall of half the class, I
can't guarantee that he will never do this.
"Because of that, I don't want to play with bombs now. Then, in order not to
trigger the bomb, I will have to be the one to unite the class."
The thing that Hirata regrets the most is his inability to unite Class C.
To avoid a difficult situation, Horikita had actively participated in the exam
since the beginning to try to keep the class together.
"You really worked hard."
"You are the Commander, your future will be very difficult now."
"All of that will be left to you. Including the job of the Commander. You can
certainly make the right decisions."
She stared straight at me.
"Can you win this?"
"I do not know."
"Well ... I am willing to win. Will you accept that?"
I didn't need to say that.
"So I have to actively participate in class discussions, to determine the rules
of intervention for every member in each event as a Commander? You can
try to imagine this scenario."
After I said this, Horikita's expression gradually became stiff.
"... Incredible, I can't imagine it."
"Is that so ?"
However, I was at the bottom of the class. Even though I became the
Commander, that won't change.
If I suddenly started making instructions like that, the situation will be
chaotic.
I will use the strategy compiled by Horikita as a benchmark.
In the middle of the conversation, I felt that the atmosphere in the class
suddenly changed.
Hirata had arrived at school. Many students try not to approach him, but they
still care about him.
"Good morning, Hirata-kun"

Page 64 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Mii-chan attempted to greet Hirata who was almost late. This is a brave act in
the class' tense atmosphere. But he continued to ignore her.
Hirata who didn't care about anyone, sat calmly in his chair.
Even so, Mii-chan didn't give up.
"Who could have imagined that he would end up like this?"
"Nobody. "
Mii-chan's struggle also seems futile, and Hirata continues to act the same.
"However, only she doesn't give up on greeting Hirata-kun. I don't believe
they even know each other very well ..."
Horikita also noticed that Mii-chan really cares about Hirata.
Then, she began to wonder why she continued to constantly do this kind of
thing.
"Isn't that because Mii-chan is a good person?"
"Because this is the problem, it's strange that she doesn't do the same thing to
other students."
"That is true."
After Yamauchi dropped out, Mii-chan continued to worry about Hirata. No
wonder.
If so, there is only one reason to continue talking to Hirata.
"Maybe love is what drives her."
"That's the only possibility ... what a boring feeling."
Horikita was shocked, she crossed her arms, was unable to understand and
shook her head.
"The class resources provided to him may also be limited ..."
She had thought that everyone would leave Hirata alone for a period of time.
"Shouldn't this be difficult?"
"There is no such thing. There is no one except her who actively talks to him.
"
Hirata decided to ignore even the most loyal Mii-chan.
Besides that, not many students have the ability to do this.
"No matter what the motivation is, I really hope she can forget it soon."
Horikita thought about how she should give up.
"If she is just greeting him, I can't complain about that. But it's definitely
getting worse."
"It's impossible to think about it."
And every time Hirata was involved in something, the classroom's

Page 65 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

atmosphere would get gloomy.
Mii-chan, who was always ignored by Hirata, once again approached him
fearlessly.
"Hmm, Hirata-kun, for lunch today—"
Mii-chan intended to invite him to lunch, but ...
"Can you stop it?"
"..."
In the quiet classroom, Hirata suddenly said these harsh words. He showed a
strong rejection towards Mii-chan.
"You're so annoying."
Although his tone was normal, his voice contained a cold feeling.
"Th-that, I ... just thought, having lunch together ..."
Mii-chan tried hard to keep her smile, but her emotions crushed her.
"I don't want to eat with you."
There is nothing more of a direct rejection than this.
The other girls didn't want to see Hirata like this, and they looked away.
"Hey, Yosuke-kun. Aren't you taking I too far? "
At this moment, Kei acted. No, maybe in this case she really needed to act.
I can easily imagine a scene where Kei's followers asked her to do this. If
Hirata was stopped here, Kei could protect his character as well as calm the
class temporarily.
But ---
"Can you not call me by my first name like that? And I have nothing to do
with you."
"Yes, that's right ... In that case, Hirata-kun, you are overreacting to Mii-
chan."
After Kei corrected his name, she still bravely faced him.
As the leader of the girls in the class, she must fulfill that obligation well.
"Compared to your usual attitude towards others, it not any different."
Hirata did not stop the counterattack.
"What ... I-This is for the class ---!"
"Can you shut up? If not ... you understand, right?"
Hirata forcefully shut Kei's mouth, who planned to continue speaking.
If Kei does something excessive, Hirata will reveal everything - this was a
threatening statement.
Hirata knows Kei's weakness. At least for her, she would definitely

Page 66 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

understand what he is trying to imply.
"What? Huh? I'm sick of this. I don't care about you anymore."
That is the end of the problem, and nothing can be done anymore.
She can only leave helplessly and choose to retreat.
"How long will you stay here?"
Hirata who easily pushed away Kei, turned to Mii-chan still standing and
almost crying. She was completely rejected by Hirata and could only bow her
head and return to her seat.
Hirata might also believe that Mii-chan will never come to talk to him again.
"The morale of the class has dropped significantly ..."
"Koenji doesn't seem to care at all."
Even though the classroom was very gloomy, only one person did not care.
Even though Hirata and Mii-chan, and Kei were fighting, Koenji didn't pay
any attention at all.
"Why are there so many problem children in this class?"
I thought Horikita was one of them too - however I didn't dare say this.

Page 67 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 3

No matter how bad the atmosphere is, time will continue to pass.
After class ended, it was natural to leave school.
The second class discussion. More precisely, the third one, if I include the
discussion that I missed.
It has been three days since the special exams began. It's almost time to make
a move.
Hirata immediately walked out of the classroom by himself.
Mii-chan looked at him in confusion and she stood up.
However, her feet could not move forward.
The strong rejection by Hirata in the morning, came to her mind.
Her legs that had just stood up, now retreated back in her chair.
"Leave it be---"
Even though Horikita's words sound cruel but she means well. The best
choice right now is not to get involved with Hirata. Horikita and others
understand this well.
The boys usually complained about Hirata, but I can't hear it now. They isn't
anyone who hates on people who are down, or maybe because it is Hirata, so
they can't say any bad things?
"Mii-chan, after today's discussion, let's go home together?"
Kushida was worried about Mii-chan's situation, and she talked to her.
"She is always very reliable at times like these."
"Yes."
Kushida could not leave her friend who was in trouble.
If she can't save Hirata, she should at least save Mii-chan. This is Kushida's
policy.
Even if is behind the motive of improving her reputation, it's not a problem as
long as it's a positive thing.
Mii-chan nodded slightly and agreed.
"Then I'll leave first."
Sure enough, Koenji did not seem to have the intention to participate. He also
left the classroom after Hirata.
It was like a pride for him, only because this need to participate had been
eliminated by Horikita.

Page 68 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

In the end, the discussion will be conducted by 37 people.
After seeing Koenji, Horikita went forward.
Chabashira-sensei narrowed her eyes and left the classroom.
"So. Has everyone thought about an event that you are good at?"
"Wait a minute. There is something to note before we begin."
Before the discussion, the first person to raise his hand was Keisei.
"What's wrong, Yukimura-kun?"
"I'm afraid someone will be eavesdropping on our conversation."
Even if they aren't close to our classroom, they can still hear our voices if
they are in the corridor outside the room.
"Yes. In this school it is not even possible to have a proper discussion."
"Don't you have a countermeasure? For example, send some people to keep
watch. If you don't take precautions, just discussing where anybody could
hear would be rather problematic."
"Yes you're right. "
Horikita understood, and nodded in response.
"But I don't think being cautious is an effective preventative measure."
"... Why?"
"Are you proposing to warn everyone not to eavesdrop, and not to approach
our classroom? Corridors are shared and can be used by the students of any
class. No, as a matter of fact, this classroom is also a shared room. We have
no right to refuse students from entering our class. "
Horikita is saying that if we prevent others from going through the corridor, it
can cause dissatisfaction.
"So it's no use even if we guard the room."
"Then, will we just freely let all our conversations leak? Who is good at what
and who isn't good at what? That would be risky."
"For that, we will solve it using this."
Horikita pulled out a cellphone.
"We will have a group chat for the whole class and we will discuss the
special examinations in here. We will discuss important matters here while
we exchange opinions verbally, so that if other classes hear it will not be a
problem."
After hearing this idea, Keisei understood and nodded.
"I see ... then that is not a problem."
"So, can I invite everyone to the chat?"

Page 69 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

To this question from Kushida, there was no objection from Horikita.
It's not a surprise to say that she is the only student who has the contacts of all
the students in the class.
"That--"
In the middle of Horikita and Keisei's conversation, Mii-chan suddenly stood
up.
"Sorry. Today, I ... That, a little ..."
"Mii-chan ... are you going to catch up with Hirata-kun?"
When Kushida asked, Mii-chan nodded lightly.
She moved her heavy legs and tried to catch up to Hirata.
"Wait, there's no point in doing that now."
"Horikita-san ... what do you mean?"
Hearing Horikita speak in an unexpectedly strong tone. Mii-chan asks.
"It's useless now. You will be dragged down with him."
"II don't want to abandon Hirata-kun."
"This isn't about abandoning, but now it is best for you to leave him alone."
"Then? Can you help Hirata-kun?"
"... That depends on him."
"No. That kind of thing is not the right thing to do!"
After saying that, Mii-chan left. And she left the classroom without listening
to her advice.
"Really - He should leave him alone for now."
Of course, no one chased after Mii-chan. So Horikita tried to take the
initiative.
"I'll be gone for a while. You guys wait here. I'll be right back."
Horikita said that. It seemed like she wanted to bring Mii-chan back, so she
walked out of the classroom.
It seems like she can't entrust this to others.
"Everything's getting messed up ... Because of Hirata, we can't stay a proper
discussion."
As a result, complaints came from Keisei.
So, we ended up making a little progress on the third day. I got up from my
chair.
"Hey, Ayanokouji, are you going after him as well? Suzune told everyone to
wait!"
Sudou reminded me. Indeed, if someone left Hirata like this, the situation

Page 70 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

would only get worse.
"I know. "
"What do you mean you know, Oi!"
I went outside and called out to Horikita who had just left the classroom.
"Horikita."
"... I'm sure I told you not to go."
"If you intend to bring Mii-chan back, then you shouldn't go. I'll do it. You
have a responsibility to lead the class."
"You are also responsible for leading the class as the 'Commander'. This is
not a problem for anyone else. If you do not analyze the strength of our class,
you will be unable to play the role of Commander."
"It's okay to leave it to you. After all, I can't do anything."
"That's not what I meant......"
"Can you solve the problem with Hirata?"
"That ..."
"Those who know what is best, will not pursue it."
Horikita, is one of the factors causing Hirata to be depressed, she shouldn't
get too close to Hirata.
"So, in your opinion ... can you solve it?"
"That depends on the efforts of the people around him."
"If that was the problem, shouldn't it have been solved long ago?"
Not just Mii-chan. Many students talked to Hirata because they are worried
about him.
And because Horikita was convinced that it would not change anything, he
began to doubt Mii-chan's actions.
"In short, I'll see you later. If we keep talking here, I won't be able to catch up
to Mii-chan."
"Come back as soon as possible."
She gave me a message that came out like a mother. When I stepped out, I
suddenly encountered Hashimoto.
The conversation I had with Horikita just now, there is a possibility that he
heard.
Hashimoto didn't look surprised, but greeted me with a smile as if he felt
something interesting.
"Yo, Ayanokouji."
However, I did not have the time to talk to him.

Page 71 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry now."
"If you want to chase your classmates, he went that way."
I nodded in response, then left to chase after Mii-chan.
The patterns adopted by Hirata over the past two days was the same.
In order not to avoid contact with anyone after school, he would definitely go
straight to his dorm room.

Page 72 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 4

Shortly after leaving school, I saw the figure of Mii-chan.
Then in front of her was Hirata's back.
Even though she had the courage to take this opportunity, she didn't seem to
be able to talk to Hirata.
The rejection this morning still clung to her mind.
"Have you greeted him yet?"
"... Ayanokouji-kun."
Mii-chan is watching me.
I walked next to Mii-chan and looked at the back of Hirata.
"I'm a little ... hesitant ..."
However, she had refused to speak about this morning.
"Then why do you keep chasing him. Most people have already given up."
"It's because.. "
It seems like she does not know why as well.
Mii-chan started to think about why she was chasing Hirata.
I believe it is because she likes Hirata.
After thinking for a while, Mii-chan found an answer, and said.
"Right now, everyone thinks that it would be better to leave Hirata-kun alone.
But ... I don't think that's the right thing to do. Because he's in trouble, we
have to help him ..."
So that was the reason she chased after him.
"Even if you will be hated by him, are you fine with that?"
It might not matter if it was just once, but if she continued to do this
repeatedly, Hirata's response would only get stronger.
It is very likely that she will be blamed for it.
"... I hate that too."
Remembering Hirata's refusal, Mii-chan shook her head from side to side.
"Even though I hate it ... but if Hirata-kun who hates me knows that he is not
alone, he can be saved. If it's like that ... I don't care even if he hates me!"
She is stubborn. To prevent frustration, she maintains confidence.
I think the strong determination in her eyes is undoubtedly real.
"Hey Ayanokouji-kun, did I do something wrong?"

Page 73 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"No. You are right."
Leaving Hirata alone at this time won't improve the situation.
If left alone, the man will be covered by deep darkness and will be unable to
free himself.
"Then go say hello."
"Well."
Mii-chan tried to walk.
And ran to shorten the distance between her and Hirata.
Due to this, Horikita may end up getting angry, but right now, it is for the
best.
To 'push Hirata', softness like that is the easiest way to deal with it.
Then in the near future, his heart will break and he will choose to leave the
school by force.
As soon as I returned to the classroom, Hashimoto, who was on his
cellphone, saw me.
"Yo."
"Did you come to steal information from Class C?"
"No, it's unfortunate. If the important parts are said via cellphone, I have no
choice."
Hashimoto shrugged and looked at his cellphone.
Because he heard it, he knows that we were using cellphones to discuss.
"I've been waiting for you to return. What are the results of the chase?"
"As you can see, I have returned empty handed."
I told him that I was unable to bring Mii-chan back.
"You can't unite the class, you're really in trouble."
"Horikita, who leads this class, is the one who is having the most difficulty."
"Even though you have protection points, do you really need to be the
Commander?"
Hashimoto seemed to be trying to ensnare me with his words. He plans to
extract as much information from me as possible.
"Our opponent is Class A, we have no chance of winning. If dropping out is
an inevitable event, there is no choice but to let me take the hit."
"I guess that's true."
Hashimoto seemed to be unsure, but he gave up and left.

"I originally came to spy on the enemy, but our class leader said that it was

Page 74 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

useless and told me
not to go. However, I wanted to get as much information that I could get, but
it seems I was quite
stupid, right?"
Hashimoto lightly patted my shoulder and walked away. After watching his
back, I returned to
the class where we began to discuss the program. I used my eyes to convey a
message to
Horikita that I couldn't bring Mii-chan back, and then sit back in my chair.
Horikita did not ask
any questions.
The discussion on the cellphone went well, and more than half of the students
responded.
It seems like it painted the same picture as the information given by Kei.
Sudou is good at
playing basketball, Onodera is good at swimming, and Akito is good at
archery. In other words,
each of them is good at sports. After that, students who have confidence in
academics, such as
Horikita and Keisei, can get grades in subjects with high scores. However,
unlike individual
specialization in sports, if you don't have strong academic abilities, it's very
difficult to choose an
event.
"Ayanokouji-kun, I want to know if there are people from other classes in the
corridor."
"Previously Hashimoto was still in the hallway, but he returned after noticing
that we were
discussing on our cellphones."
"Yes, of course."
Sudou, now knowing that no one was eavesdropping, then acted.
"Basketball, you have to add it!"
Sudou immediately negotiated with Horikita.
"I don't doubt your strength. You won't lose against other classes. Right?"
"Basketball has many ways to play. If it's a 1 vs 1 fight, I will definitely win."
Standard Basketball is played 5 vs 5 on the field.

Page 75 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

However, there are also some additional rules. Like 1 vs. 1 that Sudou said is
also one of them.
If the rules can be justified, it can be adopted as an event permitted by the
school.
"Yes. Your strength as a basketball player is unquestionable. If it's 1 vs 1, I
think you will
definitely give us victory."

"Of course."
"But this special exam isn't that simple."
"Why ?"
"Because we are only allowed to choose one event, for 1 vs 1."
There are provisions regarding rules for determining events that the number
of participants in an
event may not be the same.
"If we can organize many 1 vs. 1 events, we only need to choose someone
who is an expert at
it. We also have Onodera who is good at swimming. To win, let him play in
the 1 vs 1 match.
Swimming can also solve problems."
This will give us a solid victory.
Of course, there are also risks when racing against boys, but as long as
Onodera is in good
condition, that's enough to win.
"In English competitions, Wang Mei Yu also often gets near-perfect grades.
That is why, there
are many students who have a high chance of winning in the 1 vs. 1. There
are several students
in this class."
Sudou's face, thinking that he could bring victory to the class, became
gloomy.
"I don't know much about Basketball. I just want to ask for an explanation. If
this is a standard
Basketball, this means a battle of 5 vs. 5. The team may end up like this ...
Except for you, if the
other four members are girls who are good at sports. Can this team win

Page 76 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

regardless of the
enemy? "
"To be honest, even though I'm on a weak team, I'm sure that I myself can
win. But if there is
someone who has experience playing Basketball on the opposing side ... I am
unsure."
"You're an honest person. I respect you for not making meaningful
explanations here."
Because of this - Horikita said this as an introduction.
"You also think about it well. It would be a shame to throw away the
Basketball event. But it will
have to be a match of 5 vs 5. It's up to you to choose the team members who
can win the event
with the least amount of combat power. If it is acceptable, I promise to
present this event to the
school. "

"... I understand."
Sudou nodded after listening carefully to Horikita's words.
Then, to consider his own event, he returned to his seat.
This is a difficult decision. Sudou has good motor nerves. Although there is
no doubt that he can
maximize his role in Basketball, he can also participate in many other events.
In exams like this, he can play the role of the trump card on many occasions.
If he uses up his participation in a 1 vs 1 event, it would be a waste. This
decision is very
important.
Besides that, we should calmly think through whether or not we should use
Basketball as an
event. Even if there is the high chance of winning in a 5 vs 5 match, the
opposing party is not
stupid. If Basketball is included within the 10 events, they will figure out that
Sudou will play.
They can also choose 5 reliable people, and take action to defeat Sudou. On
the other hand,
they might also completely sacrifice the match.

Then, Horikita and the others continued to repeat the same conversation.
I pretended to be reading the chat on my cellphone.
Anyway, I'm the Commander. I won't be asked about what I am good at.
I was just participating in the discussion, and the details were all left to
Horikita.
After almost an hour of discussion, Horikita had gathered everyone's
opinions. Further
discussion can be through direct questions to Horikita.

Part 5

On Thursday morning at school.
Although spring is nearing, The day's air temperature seems lower than in
previous years.
"Good morning, good morning. How cold!"
Behind me, a soft voice rang out.
I didn't think they were talking to me, and the voice panicked as I continued
walking.
"Hey, wait a minute ~ Ayanokouji-kun?
It seems the owner of the voice once again called for me.
I look back at the homeroom teacher class B, Hoshinomiya-sensei.
"Wait a minute ~."
My arm was caught by her cold hand.
How could a female teacher hold a male student's arm?
"Sorry. I didn't think you were talking to me. What's the matter?"
"So you don't want to talk if there wasn't anything?"
She grabbed my arm and then looked at me.
This is the kind of behavior people find cute.
Maybe because I often watched every movement of Kushida's made, I
gradually began to
recognize this behavior.
"That is not what I meant..."
I pulled my arm a little stronger and released it from Hoshinomiya-sensei.
Seeing movements like that from me, she grinned for some reason.
"Hey. Do you do this to your girlfriend?"
"No, I do not have one."
"Oh - Really? Despite being in a very blessed environment."
What does she mean by 'very blessed'?
"Hey ~ you don't understand."
Hoshinomiya-sensei whispered into my ear, it was unnecessary for her to do
this.

"Students in this school are in an environment that is easy for love to form."
"Why?"

Page 79 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

I asked back, and Hoshinomiya-sensei was a little surprised.
"Do you really not know?"
"Yes, I don't know at all."
After I convinced her, Hoshinomiya-sensei lightly hit my shoulder two to
three times.
"I always felt that I needed a big circle to appear to be in a different vector
and find
Ayanokouji-kun's cuteness."
I don't know exactly what this person wants to say.
"I'll say it first ... I'm sorry for the current situation. I've thought about this
before. I always feel
that it's a problem to let men and women live in the same dormitory."
"Is that so?"
Because the rooms are separate, I feel it's fine. I wanted to escape from this
distance from her
where I can even feel her breath. However, Hoshinomiya-sensei once again
walked closer.
"This is a story I heard from a friend. There is a company that has a tradition.
People who work
must stay in the company dormitory for training for two months. One room
contains two people,
of course, separate men and women."
"... Ok."
Every time I attempt to increase my distance from her, she moves closer
again, I can only give
up and continue to listen.
"But if two people use the same room, it's easy for problems to surface.
There's a boy who
hates Natto. He doesn't just hate its smell, he doesn't even like to see it. So
the first thing he
says to his roommate is "Don't eat natto in front of me," but his roommate
really likes natto, his
roommate thinks that there is no problem if he doesn't force him to eat, so on
the first day of
living with him, he eats it in front of the roommate who hates Natto. As a
result, the roommate

Page 80 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

who hated Natto rushed out of the room. "
What is this person trying to say? I believe it has nothing to do with living in
a dormitory.

"You think I'm talking about a topic that has nothing to do with it, right? But
it's very important."
Hoshinomiya-sensei continued.
"This incident was discovered by the company. Eventually the room sharing
system was
abolished that year, and new employees the following year received private
rooms, as well as
the school's dormitory, and as a result, there were major changes compared to
the previous
year. Why do you think that is?"
"Is it due to a problem between men and women?"
"Yes. With the implementation of the room sharing system, only 1 or 2
couples we formed.
However, when it becomes a private room, there are a total of 7 or 8 couples.
When you have
friends in your room, even if you have someone you like, but if you invite
them to your room,
isn't there still someone blocking it? However, it's easy to spread strange
rumors, so everyone
will be on the lookout for each other and the relationship won't develop
towards love. But - "
If it's a private room, we don't need to worry about that, because we can meet
in secret.
"Therefore, the possibility of developing love will increase."
As a result, when I said I didn't have a girlfriend, it surprised her.
"Then I want to ask, are there many students in relationships this year?"
"There's actually not too many this year ~."
Hey, I don't think you should be saying so many things to me here.
Even if I said this to Hoshinomiya-sensei, it would be useless, so I choose not
to say anything.
"Is sensei's theory wrong?"
"It is impossible."

Page 81 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

She denied it confidently.
"Students don't understand how good the environment around them is."
I don't know whether the steps are positive or not.
"Maybe you will regret it one day, isn't it better to be in love now?

This person instills such a thing in students, who are supposed to be focusing
on studying.
Although I know that there are all types of teachers, in a sense, these are also
the most difficult
types of teachers to understand.
"Sorry, may I ask?"
"Hey? Am I going to accept a boy younger than me? No, no, a first year high
school student too
..."
"I didn't say that."
"I know. You should laugh out loud now."
I should have laughed just now. Her steps were interrupted because of the
incident just now.
"Is there anything you want to ask, let me hear it."
After I opened the topic, I asked again.
"Even if you suggest falling in love, it will be very difficult if you fall in love
with students in other
classes."
"Why?"
"Because classes compete with each other. This can cause problems."
After I said what I was supposed to think, I saw that her eyes got bright and
started to shine.
"Isn't that better ~!"
"... Eh?"
"You should try your best for your class? But if your girlfriend is in a
competitor class, there will
be difficulties and attachments and that will cause drama at the same time."
She was very touched by her own words, and it seemed like she repeated that
in his head.
"If normal interpersonal relationships become complicated and entangled,

Page 82 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

isn't competition more
intense?"
"This ... um, maybe.
If that happens, competition will indeed become fierce. Not surprisingly,
there are people who
will betray their class for the sake of a lover.
And in fact, it is impossible to master all these things and manage them well.
"What are you talking about?"
"If a rumor were to form, what will you do."
Rumors? Hoshinomiya-sensei said strange things. It seems that I am
completely unaware that
there is someone.
Hoshinomiya-sensei stopped talking and walked away from me.
"We're just chatting, Sae-chan. Why are you showing such a terrible
expression?"
"He is my student."
"You seem very worried about Ayanokouji-kun. But, he will soon be
revealed in this special
exam if he is truly competent. After all, he will fight with the rumored
Sakayanagi-san, the best
student in this high school."
"Then you don't have to be involved here."
"Ah, that's right, Sae-chan."
Hoshinomiya-sensei teased Chabashira-sensei and laughed. It seems strange
enough she
came to contact me. After Hoshinomiya-sensei left, Chabashira-sensei
glanced at me from the
side.
It seems like she is worried about what we were talking about.
"Do you want to know what we were talking about?"
However, I took the initiative to speak to her.
Chabashira-sensei said nothing, seemingly waiting for my next comment.
"The topic, was about roommates."
"Roommates? ... Don't talk about boring things."

Chabashira-sensei seems to know things related to roommates.

Page 83 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

In short, I think that the company she mentioned refers to this school.
And that the dorm rooms were originally double rooms instead of single
rooms.
If I wanted to confirm this, I could ask. But that doesn't matter to me at all.

CHAPTER 5

Trap and Homemade Cooking and a Request

On this day, something very strange happened.
During recess, I was going to get lunch with the Ayanokouji group.
"Hey, Ichinose. We have to do something about this!"
When we had just walked a few steps, we heard a loud voice. The owner of
that voice is Shibata
from Class B. The people who were with him, were Ichinose and Kanzaki
from from Class B as
well.
"This is very unusual, Shibata-kun is angry."
"Yes, this is surprising."
No wonder Haruka and Akito were surprised.
"Is that so?"
For Airi who didn't interact with other classes, it seemed like she didn't really
understand it.
Like Hirata, Shibata also joined the soccer club, although their personalities
different, he was
also quite popular.
As far as I know, he is not someone who would yell out like that.
"But, isn't it just a coincidence?
Ichinose replied to the emotional Shibata.
However, Shibata seemed to have evidence to refute her point of view.
"That's impossible. This is the third time today! They must be after us."
Kanzaki watched us from the side, and he gently warned Shibata.
He looked at us and pretended to be calm, but it was too late.
An uncomfortable atmosphere and silence followed.
"Ah, do you want to go get lunch now?"
Suddenly, Ichinose asked.

Page 85 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

It is not intended for anyone in particular, but for all members in our group.
My friends who rarely interacted with Class B's leaders felt confused as to
how to answer.
Haruka who stood beside me, elbowed me, and told me to answer as the
group representative.
"... Oh, right. We planned to go to the cafe. Is there something?"
"What a coincidence. We were going there as well."
After hearing my answer, she looked happy. However, there is a strange
feeling right now. She
usually always looked into the eyes of others when talking, but this time she
did not look into
mine.
"If you don't mind, can we go to lunch together?"
Because of this unexpected invitation, we were all surprised.
"Ichinose, what are you trying to do?"
Maybe Kanzaki didn't expect Ichinose to say this, so he asked frantically.
"So what? ... We aren't competing with Class C, isn't that fine?"
"But still ..."
It seems like Kanzaki doesn't welcome our colleagues.
It's just that, even though he wanted to reject it, he couldn't.
On the other hand, we were trapped in confusion, where we didn't know how
to answer properly.
At this time ...
"Lunch will be over soon .... So let's go?"
After Ichinose said this with a smile, there was nobody who could refuse.

Page 86 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 1

We occupied two tables in a corner of the cafe and decided to have lunch.
A group of different members consisting of Class B and Class C.
"Sorry for the sudden invitation. I am willing to treat you all, so don't hesitate
to accept it."
Ichinose apologized.
"Is this okay ... Ichinose?"
Kanzaki made a slightly exaggerated response to her statement in front of us.
Earlier, Ichinose made an agreement to help Ryuuen in the voting exam, so
that no one dropped
out of Class B.

Currently, a large number of their class' personal points had been used for the
exam, so they
were lacking.
"However, we don't intend to eat anything special, so I can pay for it. "
After Ichinose said that, the members of our group accepted it.
"I forced you to come along, so you don't need to worry about our situation
..."
"No problem. That way we can enjoy lunch without having to worry."
She hoped we could enjoy lunch at the table in return, thereby eliminating the
idea of privileging
guests.
"So, why ... invite us?"
Keisei, who could not ignore this, asked Ichinose.
"I see that you were shocked by Shibata-kun's situation. So I think instead of
strange rumors
from spreading, I plan to tell you the truth directly. It would be better to avoid
confusion."
Maybe what Ichinose did was the right decision. If she had not come to
contact us. I think we
would have ended up talking about Shibata. For example, why is Shibata so
angry? And maybe,

Page 87 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

we will also discuss the incident with others, so that it will spread indirectly.
"Is it fine to tell us?"
"Do you think we should be wary of you?"
"No, but there is a possibility that someone had connections with Class C."
"Even if that's the case."
"Yes, however this is only a simple complaint."
When Shibata said that, Kanzaki looked into his eyes sharply.
"I-Is there something wrong? Kanzaki."
"Not ..."
It seemed that Shibata did not understand what Kanzaki wanted to convey.

Kanzaki thought what Shibata said wasn't quite right, but fortunately the
others didn't notice it.
"No need to worry, because they already know enough. Isn't it better to say
everything that
happened on our side?"
"... That is true. "
Shibata's careless response was the final blow that forced Kanzaki to
surrender.
"In short, Class D has made some small movements for us recently, and it is
unrelenting."
"Small movements?"
Shibata was not satisfied.
"Me, Nakanishi and Beppu have experienced similar problems. Is it really
just small
movements? We can't say it like that? Isn't that a stakeout? Beppu seems to
be quite scared of
Albert who had pushed him against the wall."
Kanzaki, believing that since Shibata had already said this much, it would be
fine to reveal
everything, so he also participated.
"I also asked for the details from two other people before, there should be no
doubt."
In other words, after the special exams have begun, some students have been
targeted by
Class D.

Page 88 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Did it develop into a fight?"
"No."
They are only being watched by Class D, and are currently still investigating.
It seems like it
won't end up in a fight, for now.
Of course, if the other party really uses violence, it will spiral out of control.
"Class D uses such methods to pressure us. They won't stop doing so until the
day of the
special exam, they are trying to reduce our morale."
"It really annoys me. After all Class D has a history of doing things like that.
Class C has also
dealt with Class D before, so you all understand?"
What Shibata meant was when there was a dispute between Sudou and
Ishizaki and Komiya.

Keisei who had been listening carefully, began to speak.
"Although it may be strange too advise other classes, I don't think this is a
serious problem. It is
true that Class D has a bad reputation, and it's normal to feel pressure from
their actions.
However, at this time, we have also received surveillance from the Class A. "
"Is that true? "
Keisei nodded and told them that Class A students had recently been
eavesdropping on our
class.
"Class D may be feeling hopeless at the moment, so they are trying to gather
as much
information as they can get. "
Shibata listened to Class C's opinion, and from his expression, it seems as if
he had accepted it.
However, the damage that Class B receives tends to be greater than ours.
"If everything goes well, this particular exam is clearly an advantage for our
class. It's better to
say that they will continue to harass us without breaking school rules in an
attempt to reduce our
mentality."

Page 89 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Kanzaki analyzed it like that. However, the question was why they only
targeted certain
students?
Do they think it's too risky to spy on Ichinose and Kanzaki ...?
Or is there actually another purpose?
"I don't think Kaneda-kun would give such instructions. Is it Ishizaki-kun's
order?"
"Maybe like that."
"It's normal to worry about them, but we must do what we can. We must
continue to maintain
our unity and choose events in a coordinated manner, so that on the exam day
we don't need to
try too hard to fight. Am I right?"
The people from Class B agreed with this statement.
"That means you don't plan to take any action against Class D? You won't
even perform an
investigation?"
"Well, probably not. We will take care of the 10 events from Class D that will
be announced next
week and make the best response for it."
In other words, until the end, he only intended to face the challenges with the
class' strength.
Face reality without being fooled by it. This is a practical and solid strategy.
"I always thought that Class B was a great class."
Keisei said in admiration and continued.
"In order to win against the upper classes, generally they will do things that
are immoral.
Whether it's threatening or reconnaissance, if it is effective, it will be done.
However, you do not
take such actions against opponents. You feel confident in your beliefs and
abilities. Our class
couldn't possibly mimic this. "
Although Class C does not take any action on Class A on the surface, in
many places we are
trying to gather information from one another in several ways.
"Well, it's hard to say. I don't think we're just smart enough for something

Page 90 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

like that?"
That's what Ichinose said, with a little smile.
"In short, I already understand what you really want to say to us. If that
continues, Shibata's
reaction is enough for Class D to know that their actions have succeeded."
Keisei understood why Ichinose invited us to eat together.
And if letting Class D know that their harassment of Class B had been
effective, then it will
encourage their arrogance.
If that were to continue, Class B will have to respond. She wanted to tell
Class D, by taking a
firm stand, proving that their harassment had no effect.
"So, I want to ask you not to spread it as much as possible."
"Spreading it out isn't good for us. After all, we don't want to turn Class B
into an enemy."
Agreeing on this, Akito, Haruka and Airi did not hesitate to nod.
"I truly thank all of you."
When she thanked us, I was the only one who looked into her eyes.
At that moment, Ichinose flicked her hair slightly.
Then, the scent of orange in the wind lightly tickled my nose.
I immediately looked away and looked at everyone again. However, Ichinose
seems to be a bit
strange today.
But, this is not something I can say out loud.
