Classroom of the Elite Vol. 11.5

"You want me to tell you what your TPO is for that boring joke .. huh ..?"

(Tln: TPO is standard if I'm not mistaken)

If she is able to say so much bad .., then she is okay now.

"... Somehow, the composition is a bit like a year ago huh..."

(Tln: the composition here means the contents of their joke.)

"I think so." The place is a little different, but I remember talking to her
alone at night.

Horikita reunited with her brother, but she looked very disappointed.

Now, things should turn back, but it's really weird because I feel a deja vu.

"I wonder why in front of you I show mistakes like this. Even the seats are
next to each other."

If told, the strange relationship with Horikita has continued since the
beginning of the school entrance ceremony. Somehow Horikita didn't seem to
like the part about it.

"Every now and then, can you let me look at your mistakes?"

Horikita complained because she felt it was unfair.

"Mistake ... Didn't I show it recently ? I lost to Sakayanagi in a chess
match right ..."

"I didn't call it a mistake. It has been just a defeat..." It seemed like she
wasn't satisfied with just that.

"Then ... You can look forward to it in the second grade later ..."

Page 241 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"There is no choice but to do that right ... I will save it for a pleasant
future." Looks like she wants revenge because I saw her crying face today.
Even so, Horikita who cut her hair was very surprising and had a big impact.

"If you look around, a lot of people will be surprised."

Of course, there are also some classmates who try to change their
appearance little by little, but not too much either ...

"It's up to them to be surprised. It doesn't matter either, anyway."

She stated, she did not care and had nothing to do with the surrounding
views. Sudo will be the first to comment on this.

A few days before spring break ends, during that time there will definitely
be rumors that have spread temporarily ... No ... Information about those
rumors might be complicated if there are witnesses.

"Yes ... Even at a time like this... Do you remember the match we wanted
to do yesterday?"

"Of course..."

"I talked about getting one request when I won, and now I know what my
request is."

"Eee ... I think it's still a long time later. So you're trying to attack me
mentally huh ..."

"No ... I don't have those habits. I just haven't thought about that at the
time." Horikita urged me to say the request, even though she was rather
suspicious of it.

"If I win, then at that time I want you to join the student council."

Page 242 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"... You told me that before ..." Before I once asked Horikita if she was
interested in joining the Student Council. Despite calling her brother, in the
end Horikita refused and chose the choice she had decided.

"Yes ... Will you accept that condition?"

"I'm not at all interested in student council, but ... I just need to win it ..."
It didn't matter as long as she won, Horikita gave his approval.

"But, there's no guarantee I can enter the student council know ...?"

"You don't need to worry about that. Nagumo is basically the type that
welcomes anyone ..."

This is very different from Manabu, who refused many people. More than
that ... Horikita is Manabu's younger sister, Nagumo will definitely not
refuse.

"Can I ask why you want me to join the student council?"

"That's a secret ... I'll let you know if you lose later."

"I don't like it. You can tell me at least that right ..?"

"Are you thinking about your defeat again?"

"... No, I will definitely win, so I decided to ask the reason. If you lose,
that means you won't talk about the reason right ..." It's true ... After winning
or losing, it's decided, then it's not, there's more meaning to me telling her the
reason.

"Your brother is always worried about Nagumo Miyabi's actions. Yes ...
Something like that."

"In other words, do you want me to watch over the student council
president?"

Page 243 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Yes, that is so..."

"So my brother asked you for something like that ..."

Slightly dissatisfied, She looked at me.

"Because you don't have a friendly relationship with him, what else can
you do ..." If you were able to talk to each other, this story might be discussed
with Horikita from the start.

"Stop your humility ... My brother cares more about you than anyone else
in this school. If not, he will not invite you on the day of his departure.
Really, really ... Why should you ...? "

Complaining about that ... Horikita slowly stood up.

"No, stop that, I want to erase your presence of my head once in a while."
If not so her body would not be able to survive, She was astonished to turn
around.

"Finally Horikita, there is one thing I want to confirm."

"What ...? Do you still want to say something strange again ...?"

"This is about Kushida. I will briefly explain what I think, also about the
current situation."

For a change of topic that didn't understand her well, Horikita surprisingly
furrowed her brow at my words.

"Current situation?"

For the sake of stopping the 'tantrum' ... I signed a contract with Kushida.
The contract gives half of my personal point each month to protect myself.
By doing this, I can escape the Kushida target.

Page 244 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"You ... Are you stupid? To have such an absurd contract ..."

"I did it to gain Kushida's trust ..."

"Isn't that really careless ... Half of personal points per month ... That's too
much..."

"If it's not that much, Kushida's feelings can't be moved. But yes, even
so... I might receive a scolding from you and lose your trust."

Instead of complaining to me, this was the stage where she felt doubts
once again.

"Really ... I started to question whether you really are an extraordinary
person or not ..." I understood the feeling that made her wonder, but the main
problem was not over yet.

"So, why are you telling me this?"

"I signed this absurd contract, because I felt it would not be a big
obstacle."

"Even if you keep giving up half your personal points, you say it won't be
an obstacle?"

"If the contractor Kushida herself leaves school, the risk will change to
zero."

Hearing my statement, Horikita tensed up.

And she also still pointed his angry eyes at me.

"You just said something truly unbelievable ... What is this joke?"

"I intend to make Kushida dropout. No ... Even now I still think she

Page 245 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

should drop out."

"A joke ... It doesn't seem like it ..."

"Yes ... In summer... I thought in my mind to get rid of Kushida."
Actually, that does not mean there is no chance to get rid of it.

"But ... Because you talked about this to me, that means the situation has
changed huh ...?"

"Yes ... I want to leave the decision to you." Instead of me giving that
judgment, I left Horikita's decision to do what had to be done with Kushida.
That's why I'm telling this to her now.

"If that ... Isn't that obvious... I won't get rid of Kushida-san. No ... I won't
let my classmates do something reckless." I see, her intention and
determination seemed to get stronger from day to day.

"But I won't think of a naive mind like Hirata-kun. There is always a line
to sacrifice every student. Of course ... It will be replaced depending on their
contribution."

If there are circumstances there should be a dropout like a class vote ..,
then she will make a decision huh ...

"What if Kushida's contribution was the worst at that time?"

"Of course ... She will be the first candidate to be dropped out." Those
words don't seem to be lying.

"But the likelihood of her falling to the bottom of the class is very low
now."

"I understand ... Kushida's contribution to her daily life is high." Able to
learn and exercise, She also stands in an important position in class. Even
though she was a bit sly about Yamauchi's dropout, it wasn't something fatal

Page 246 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

to do.

"If it was you... I thought I could leave it to you ..., but when Horikita
grows into the center of classmates, Kushida will become a troublesome
existence."

Someone who knows the past of Kushida. That is a fact that cannot be
eliminated whatever happens.

"That's why you tried to get rid of it first huh .."

"Yes ... That's how it... It's not that simple to make a partner with sweet
persuasions right ...?"

"I don't admit that. There is no point in persuading half-heatedly in a
discussion to make her understand."

Knowing that ... Do you intend to accept Kushida? In the past, it was only
recognized as naive, but now it's a little different.

"Then ... I have nothing else to say."

"You ... Don't tell me, are you aiming to expel Kushida-san during the
class vote?"

"That doesn't make sense. For example, Her work with Yamauchi... The
classmates' trust in her is still very high. "

"Yes ... That's right. You don't seem to be trying to make that move either
... But since you discussed this with me, I can assume that the Kushida
problem will be completely left to my right?"

"Yes ... I promise I will not do anything." Horikita must decide what
choice to take in the future.

"What are you saying all this to me because you decided that you could

Page 247 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

overcome that obstacle?"

"I'm afraid I'm not so optimistic ... Even now I'm still directing my actions
to get rid of Kushida."

"That's true ... Then why?" Asked the reason for the first time ... It made
me think about it.

"Don't you think about it?"

"HM... I seem to be doing something inefficient now." Without saying
anything, get rid of Kushida..., it must be the right decision if she thinks in
the future. But I did not do it.

I even gave it to Horikita. That reason ...

Yes ... The reason is...

"I want to see how you will overcome that obstacle ..."

I'm not sure about that, but there is no answer, other than this.

"May be..."

"Then I'll do it. It seems like it's better for me to listen to what you say
even though it's only half of it." Horikita, who had fully recovered, started
walking away.

"I'm going home now ... How about you?"

"I will stay here for a while..." Horikita returned to the dormitory, leaving
a parting word. She might cry again in the middle of the night when she
remembers again, but she will be fine for now.

I remember my conversation with Ichinose the other day.

Page 248 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

The existence of Sakayanagi, Ryuuen and the growth of Horikita. I look
forward to it, Battle between 4 classes. After a year, how far can it change?
There are lots of ingredients to grow.

The words given by Manabu, Have remained in my heart.. Be a student
that is remembered by other students.

"He really gave me an amazing farewell gift ..." Doing your best to be a
memorable student. Isn't that about training and growing students?

Let students who grow up compete with each other and aim for higher
heights. Imagine being in that position ... Can you express it even though you
are very passionate about it? I think it's fun somewhere. Unconsciously
analyzing the strength of each class ... The results will be seen in one year ...
Even so, each class is required to grow and develop.

Strengths and weaknesses. Also pleasant feelings based on them. But on
the other hand, I feel my heart cooling rapidly.

"What I seek for a peaceful everyday life ... It should be like this." For the
first time, I felt my heart filter.

The existence of the heart, of course, has been misunderstood in the past
year. Even now it's still growing.

The growth of my heart..., of course I'm making it happen... That's what
I'm trying to say to myself.

But it did not work.

As if my feelings don't connect with myself.

It seems that it is not just the coating on the inner seal that is constantly
peeling off.

I can't help but remember black things that resemble anxiety like that.

Page 249 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

I ... Will I still be in this school next year? The darkness that can't be
revealed ... Wraps me.

Page 250 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Chapter 5 - Matsushita suspicion

Intro

On April 3, when spring break is nearing its end, I ... Matsushita Chiaki
decided on something.

"After all, I'm still curious ..." Emotions that continue to burn in my heart
from before and after the end of the school year exams up to today.

That's because ... The existence of a classmate named Ayanokouji
Kiyotaka.

Recently, I feel uneasy about him.

If I say this to someone, I'm sure ... They might say it's because of love or
affection. But not that. I can even state it here ... That it's not a romantic love
between a boy and a girl.

Towards Ayanokouji-kun ... I strongly began to be alert. Even if I talk
about him with other students, they will surely tilt their heads in confusion.
But ... To get that one answer...

I have to know him first ... In order to understand what this feeling is.

I was born into a family ... Well enough, blessed with good parents, and
raised me so far without feeling any discomfort. Being able to buy whatever I
want, and also I can achieve achievements in high school grades.

Page 251 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Parents value the excellence of their children and children value the
excellence of their parents. I grew up in an environment that has a very good
relationship like that.

Yes ... Even though I say it, but I think ... I'm also blessed with an
attractive appearance like this. If many people find out this fact, they will
definitely envy me.

Becoming an adult, repeatedly undergoing romantic relationships, and
eventually marrying a man with strong economic power.

My life might be ... Not the best, but I feel blessed in my life... And also ...
I have a variety of prospects for my future ... Even though there are several
options available, I think it's not bad to get a job as CA international in large
companies that are well-known ...

(Tln: CA = Chartered Accountant. I mean professional accountants ...
Chiaki are quite good at arithmetic.)

However, when I decided to enter this school ..., I thought it was okay for
me to start having big dreams ...

Like ... Going to a prestigious foreign university, having the prospect of a
future job as an ambassador abroad, from there then working for the United
Nations ... I can see such a path ...

I'm the one who runs smoothly along my tracks. A life that hasn't failed
even once ... However, my first miscalculation was after I entered this school.

Only those who graduate in class A can achieve their goals, whether it's
going to university or find a job they want. In other words, the classes below
Class B have no value.

Of course, I have faith that I can win the career I want by my own efforts.
But ... Graduates under class B... Will definitely become obstacles... I might
get a label that is problematic if it is labeled as [Student who can't graduate in

Page 252 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

class A.]

The size of the advantages and disadvantages, is a negative factor for me
who want stability ...

Also, I'm in class D, not Class A. This means that I carry a very heavy
burden.

But when I first entered school, I was not very anxious. It was that
negligence that made me run out of luck.

Quickly run out of class points in a month and immediately sink to the
bottom.

"If you think about it calmly ... You should be able to win right ..."

Yes ... We started in class D, but starting line is the same. If we can able
to understand the situation well in the first month, Then we should be able to
rise to the upper class ...

That was the worst start, but after one year, class points gradually
increased.

We went to class C once. We can still target the upper class ...

"Hmm ... No way, huh ...?"

Even if you realize it from the beginning. The difference in basic abilities
with other classes is greater than expected. Sooner or later we will definitely
be left far behind. It just so happened that this year was going well, while the
ability of every student in our class was very low. As long as this fact doesn't
change, going to class A is almost 0. I don't want to say this ..., but I can be
arrogant about my ability to excel in the same school year. If it's in the top
10% ... Then it's almost certainly in the hands...

Still, the reason why I was in the middle of caste in class D, was because I

Page 253 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

did nothing. Of course, I don't block my class on important points, but I don't
like to stand out too much. And the only group that is on good terms with me,
only students of low level ...

Half the students from class D contain at the bottom 10-20% of the school
year.

In the midst of such a situation ... If I show my ability half-heartedly, I
will get a lot of jealousy, or they may become very dependent on me and I
will be involved in many problems. I want to avoid it ...

Even if I show my seriousness, the situation won't change significantly
either ... Good or bad, even though I'm good enough compared to other
students, it doesn't mean that I'm a genius.

More than that ... I'm not the type of person to move things first.

But ..., Even though I can't achieve that goal myself, I still want to
graduate as a class A student.

If that becomes a reality, I can stabilize the direction of my future
prospects with an easy route.

For that reason, all grade D students have to work hard, but ... After
paying attention to it for the past year, I half gave up that it was impossible.
Surely there are some talented students.

Horikita-san, Hirata-kun, and Kushida-san. There are also some smart
students like Yukimura-kun and Wang-san.

(Tln: Wang-san is Mii-chan, Chiaki calls her using Chinese kanji.)

But these are still not enough. In fact, most students are holding back.
Contrary to these factors, our class is still in a negative state.

Even if there are 2 or 3 more talented students like I mentioned earlier ... I

Page 254 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

guess that's still a bit of a doubt.

Yes ... Ayanokouji-kun ... Until I noticed it, I felt a rather tortured feeling.

(Tln: annoying and tortured here that means even though class D has
talented students, but is still unable to fight the upper class.)

This is a one-sided guess from me ..., but I think Ayanokouji is the same
type of student as me.

Which somehow, entered this school .., just wanted to live their own daily
lives. Do not have the desire to progress more than me, the type of person
who does not care about the difference between class A and class D. But
despite all that, still has the ability to progress.

If my guess is right ...

Including myself, there are two cards joining in class D. If that happens,
we can target the upper class depending on its success.

Yes ... it can't be helped if thoughts like that come recently.

Why do I consider him that type of person ...? That's basically ... I mean,
there's a point I'm curious about so far. Karuizawa-san's gaze that
occasionally looks at Ayanokouji-kun. And also the distance between them.

At first I thought it was just my misunderstanding, but with her breakup
from Hirata-kun, I changed my belief. She was interested in Ayanokouji-kun.

Karuizawa-san who was able to date a man of good status, chose
Ayanokouji-kun.

Why..? Is it because of his cool appearance? No, in my opinion, that's not
all... If it's because of that, then it would be better for her to also maintain her
relationship with the more popular Hirata-kun. In that case ... Isn't that
because Ayanokouji-kun has enough ability to leave that popularity? I

Page 255 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

concluded thus ...

There are many scary things that overlap. The way he moves actively with
class leaders Horikita-san and Hirata-kun. There was no doubt that they
recognized Ayanokouji-kun. He is also close to Ichinose-san. Have a fierce
battle with former Student Council President Horikita at the sports festival. If
I remember it is something strange.

Besides that, Sakayanagi-san mobilized class A to give it a protect point.
Even though he became a student who was accidentally chosen to take down
by Yamauchi-kun. And it was decided that he would fight as a commander, It
would be too easy to solve it if all that was just a coincidence

...

Anyone would know how Ayanokouji-kun was a mysterious existence.
But most students are not aware of it.

Yes ... That's right... He hasn't participated much actively in public.
Although the running speed is a prominent ability, only elementary school
students can be in the top caste like that. As a High school student ... No, the
more mature, the more communication skills needed.

Most students who govern the upper castes, have extraordinary abilities at
the same time also have communication skills. An extraordinary difference if
you only have one impression ... Students who run very fast but have a thin
presence. That's the impression that many people have on Ayanokouji-kun.

For example, if he has communication skills... The Ayanokouji-kun cost
can be quite high.

Depending on his personality too, but he might be in a higher position
than Hirata.

This is not just an abstract theory, or something that does not exist. If
Sudo-kun is smart and easy to get along with, or if Yukimura-kun be good

Page 256 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

enough in sports, This is a story about such an impossible dimension. The
main priorities for our class today are [academic ability] as well as [physical
ability].

Also ... There is a high possibility that Ayanokouji-kun has both ...

Besides that, maybe more than Hirata-kun in both abilities. This is a
treasure. Of course, this includes just a little desire.

If so, that would be a great force to be able to improve the class. Even if
he has as many abilities as I have, no one will complain.

With Ayanokouji-kun like that, so far what has caught my attention is his
influence on the special exams at the end of the school year. The matter of
flash mental arithmetic which could not have been solved, was able to be
answered correctly by Ayanokouji-kun.

Those were some of the decisive hits he gave me. Unknown number of
abilities.

I want to know. Also ... If that's true... There is no way not to use it.

There is no doubt that his academic abilities and physical abilities are
quite close to me. Even though he has been living behind the scenes for a
year, he may not be someone who can be persuaded by ordinary methods.

But I am confident in reading the situation. I'm also confident in
psychological warfare. That is my highest point.

Make him think that I just want to get in touch with him because of
curiosity, then draw on his true nature and make him work together. This will
be a counterattack for next year.

".... Just kidding..." It's true going up to Class A is interesting. But that is
not the only reason that drives me. But that is Boredom.

Page 257 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Not only walking on difficult rails of life, but also looking for fun.

There are no other classmates, I just want to pursue the mysterious parts.
That is the main reason why I want to establish contact with Ayanokouji-kun.

After changing clothes, I have an appointment to go to Keyaki Mall with
my friends today. In it, I will look for various views in seeing Ayanokouji-
kun's daily life.

However, the possibility of being able to meet coincidentally, is not high,
even though it was in the school ground... The first half of the spring break
never met once, I spent in vain.

I want to get some clues. Curiosity and desire are driving my sight
without permission every day.

Page 258 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 1

"Here ... Here... Matsushita-san."

"Good morning ..."

11 o'clock ... I met with other ordinary members Shinohara-san and Sato-
san. During spring break, we gather together without meaning like this every
day and chat, the days when flowers bloom in a story without love ... I don't
hate it, but it's still boring somewhere.

I've been a good kid for a year. So I decided to talk a little with my
classmates.

"Shinohara-san did you make progress with Ike-kun?"

Trying to get out of boredom by giving her a simple push.

"Eh .., what? Why ...? There's nothing really ..." Shinohara-san denied it
in a panic, judging from her attitude ..., she couldn't hide her annoyance.
[Really talk about it ..? ] Sato-san who has eyes like there is something
interesting, looks surprised and excited at the same time.

It is common knowledge that Ike-kun and Shinoharasan have been in
close contact in the past few months ... They might mean to hide it, but this is
still a small school.

You will soon find out if a couple is dating.

"I think it's better to listen to it from you soon ..."

"I-It's not like that ..., you know ... This is Ike, we're talking about? He's
an example of a useless man right ..." Shinohara-san's expression of denying
that was normal. Of course, if you just look at the specifications ... He ranks

Page 259 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

low from the lowest.

His height is short, he can't study well, and he is not good at talking
anyway ... For me, that is a comment that has no end, but love cannot be
measured in that alone. Sometimes you can be attracted to men who look
hopeless like that. Yes ... This is like having an unexpected traffic accident.

And if he is on the same level as Shinohara-san, he might be very suitable.
It is not at all unbalanced.

"It's not very good. One person likes another person. After all, he doesn't
know anything about this." One thing or another Sato-san was very excited
about talking about the love story ... and smile at Shinohara-san.

"It says ... It's not like that..."

"There's no need to deny it ... Come on, let me hear your opinion..." To
Shinohara-san who didn't want to admit it, I instigated more by using Sato-
san.

"Un ... Yeah... I'm also curious ... Tell me... Tell me..." At a time like this,
Sato-san acted obediently with easy instructions. She is the type of person
who doesn't think deeply. It is inevitable that on the side of that section has a
bad effect on academic ability. Even though it's a very bitter evaluation, but
as someone, I don't hate it.

Shinohara-san and Sato-san are good friends. Personally, they are
irreplaceable girl friends. If you have a problem, I think it's okay if they want
to consult and help each other.

Yes ... As long as I have the ability... I won't say anything.

I was thinking that way ... Shinohara-san talked a little about her
relationship with Ike-kun.

"These days ... We have only been fighting in vain. There really isn't any

Page 260 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

progress ..." Shinohara-san shook her head while sighing.

But that does not mean she denies that there has never been any
development.

"It's because of your personalities who can't be honest with each other
right? But yeah ... Even though there's a slight difference too..." Even though
it looks like they match each other, there's an impression of mutual refusal in
strange places.

If there is a trigger ..., it seems their distance will continue to decrease.

"Rather than me ..., what about Matsushita-san herself ...?"

"I...?" As expected ... Shinohara-san returned it that way. On the contrary
... I guided her ...

"She told us before ... If she wants to date, she will choose a senior." Seen
remembering something, Sato-san also follows Shinohara-san's conversation.
Always excited when talking about love stories .. Girls are creatures like
that...

"Right ... But ... That could have changed if there was someone who met
certain conditions, right... Right..." Controlling the understanding of the two
of them and slowly leading the conversation in the direction I wanted. Not
too much to talk about. That is something that often happens in everyday life.
The only difference is whether they realize it or not.

"Heh, have you changed your mind?" Sato-san as usually takes the bait
from this conversation.

"The specs of a man ... Can't be changed right... His appearance and
personality must be the best. And then ... About his family... I also want his
parents to have high education and knowledge ... That's Required..."

No matter how great the child is, if the parents are not good, then that

Page 261 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

means nothing.

"The specs are good and the family is good ... Is that perhaps Koenji-
kun?"

(TLN: LOL)

Shinohara-san said that with a little doubt.

"Yes ... That might be good on the outside, but you know ...?" Sato-san
imagined it a little after hearing the name Koenji-kun. Class evaluations
about Koenji-kun are arguably very low. The reason is simple and clear.
That's because he is a strange existence that is always annoying and doesn't
want to hear the class's opinion.

However, it can be said that there are differences in the level of
enthusiasm between the inside and the outside. The appearance and
characteristics of the family have no drawbacks, there is also a side of him
that is very polite to women.

Therefore, it is understandable that girls of the school year saw him.
Regarding academic ability too ..., he usually doesn't do it seriously, and still
hides his abilities.

He is a rare species that can be said to meet most of the specifications of
the man I want.

(TLN: Chiaki, kidding ...?)

I think Koenji's class is ranked first if only judging all of his abilities.

However, he also has some obvious characteristics. He is a kind of person
who act depends on his mood and can't be persuaded.

Unimaginable freak. Not worth it .., from the beginning I already knew it
was in vain.

Page 262 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

In this case, Sudo-kun and Ike-kun, no ... It could be said that they were
class 1 burden.

"Koenji-kun isn't like that ... Yes ... I mean ... He's not human anymore...
Yee right ..."

Hearing my evaluation ..., they both laughed ...

"If he can do something seriously, I'm sure he will definitely be more
popular than Hirata-kun ..., but he will never be serious, right ..." That's my
evaluation.

And also Shinohara-san and Sato-san nodded in agreement with that.
Thank you for telling me that humans can get 100 points or 0 points with just
one drawback.

From the love story of Ike-san and Shinohara-san, then my ideal image.
Thus .., continues to the next stage.

"Speaking of that, Sato-san. What about Ayanokouji-kun?"

"Eh ...? W-why ...?" Surprised at my words, Sato-san stiffened.
Shinohara-san who started to remember ... Looked at Sato-san. That
happened during winter holidays. What Sato-san said to us. The one who
confides about her worries and distressed because she will say her love to
Ayanokouji-kun. Just like Ike-kun and Shinohara-san's things right now ... I
meant to just enjoy watching while supporting them in the distance ...

"I, I don't have much ..." Her words stopped when Sato-san would deny it.

But when I looked, Sato-san stopped talking about Ayanokouji-kun. Of
course, Shinohara-san and I didn't understand or talk about what that meant.

Either .., confession of love denied ?, or she changed her mind? Anyway
... As long as Sato-san doesn't talk about it, then I won't talk about it either.

Page 263 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

However, there is no way for me now to get to know Ayanokouji-kun in
detail ...

"... C-can you ... Keep it a secret?" She said like that.

Shinohara and I looked at each other ... Sure that we could hear a very
interesting story..., both of us touched Sato-san's shoulders and said ...

"Obviously ... Right..."

Page 264 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 2

With that ..., we moved to a cafe to hear about Sato-san's problem. From
now on we will hear the problems that she will bring, and start repeating the
work to get

Share opinions.

Time for women from women. Unlike men who seek solutions first, we
girls start by seeking affirmation first. That's not a bad thing.

"Actually, I ... I ... Have expressed my feelings to A-Ayanokouji-kun..."
In the opening words like that, me and Shinoharasan sprayed the tea we were
drinking.

"Eh ... se ... eh ... Seriously? Since when?" Shinohara-san who thinks that
her relationship with the opposite sex is at the forefront, is suddenly reversed
... I also think there is something between the two of them ..., but I don't
know that it goes that far ... But if you look at it from the other side, I can see
the results

...

If the two of them were dating, She would have told us.

Even if she hid it because it was too embarrassing ... I would have noticed
...

If it's not like that ... Then that means...

"I was rejected ..." Surely a long time had passed since she said her
feelings. I could not see her anxiety or impatience in her words.

She must have experienced crying many times and tried to move forward.

Page 265 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

If you think about it, well, She might have expressed her feelings during
winter vacation.

For example, if it's because talking to us.., it's really regrettable.

"Bo'ong ... Ayanokouji-kun ... He is stupid..." A love statement from a
girl. Especially from Sato-san who doesn't need to be complained about her
appearance. To be able to refuse it ... I felt shocked and angry.

"Why ...? E ...? Why were you rejected?"

"It's just a matter of his feelings ... I was told that he can't date me because
he doesn't like me ..." .

"It's simple, isn't because he, just like someone else? Like Horikita-san,
for example ..." When I confirmed it to Sato-san, She shook her head left and
right. Speaking of Ayanokouji-kun, the shadow of Horikita-san will
definitely appear. Right now ... she is a presence that enhances our class.
There was once a rumor that it was possible that Ayanokouji-kun and
Horikita-san would always go together.

But, in the end no one else talked about the rumor.

"He said ... The same applies to Horikita-san and Kushida-san ..." Sure
enough ... Those two people don't seem so close.

"No ... no ... no ... um!" Apart from the name Horikita-san, Shinohara-
san's tension rose to the peak when Kushida-san was also included.

"That is no longer a quiet person who is not interested in a love affair."

I understood his feelings to conclude it like that.

I don't think Sato-san really thought so ...

"Not interested in cute girls ... Does that mean he already has a girl he

Page 266 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

likes?"

Saying that, Sato-san looked at me then averted her eyes.

More than anyone ... You must pay attention to someone you like. Sato-
san is the person who most aware of the girl Ayanokouji-kun likes ...

"I think ... Ayanokouji-kun ... Maybe... Likes Karuizawa-san."

Sato-san said that while looking the other way ...

"Lying ... Wait a minute... Really? Eh ... eh ...? Seriously? Seriously
Karuizawa-san !?" Again ... Shinohara-san and I looked at each other. If
someone who didn't know about it, heard it, they would definitely think it's
an unexpected combination.

But I'm just pretending to be shocked, in my heart, I'm already sure of
that.

Because my allegation and Sato-san fully agree with the opinion of who
Ayanokouji-kun likes.

"Yes ... And maybe ... Karuizawa-san also likes Ayanokouji-kun ..."

"Maybe she broke up with Hirata-kun is related to that ...?"

At my question, Sato-san seemed half doubtful, but she agreed. In short,
She personally thought that way ...

"From Hirata-kun switch to Ayanokouji-kun ...? No ..., sorry .., but I
really don't understand that..." Yes, even though it's also not something
Shinohara-san can say ... which trying to choose Ike-kun ...

"That's not true ... Me too ... I also think that Ayanokouji-kun is better."

"You still like him, huh...?"

Page 267 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"I tried to forget it, but it won't disappear from my eyes ..."

Because of that every day ... when she saw Ayanokouji-kun's her eyes
could see the truth.

I really feel sorry for Sato-san, but it really helps.

"But somehow ... Lately... Ayanokouji-kun's name is often heard huh ..."
The usual suspicion that came to Shinohara-san.

"Is that about the commander? Oh ... and about Sakayanagi-san who gave
it the protect point right?" Sato-san, who felt the same, also thought that it
was all centered on Ayanokouji-kun.

"Very strange huh ... right ... I want to know why it must be Ayanokouji-
kun ...? Horikita-san said it was a coincidence ..." I also felt very strange
about the problem ... However, it was very regrettable for me can't have
serious discussions with both of them.

"If you think about it well, that's very clever, right. Once you get the
protect point, then you will be the one placed as the command tower. During
the special exam at the end of the school year, right? It makes sense that
Sakayanagi-san had thought about that from the start. "I decided to end the
topic by throwing out material that could be understood to some extent.

"Yes ... that's right ..." For example, if it's not Ayanokouji-kun but Ike-
kun, Sakayanagi can definitely win easily. Of course, that's possible ...
Choose Ayanokouji-kun as unexpected opposed.

However, I will delay that part for now. So...

Karuizawa-san likes Ayanokouji-kun, and vice versa. Knowing that ... I
can say that today I got a big harvest. By saying this, I can contact him.

"I think that Karuizawa-san is the same as me, who seriously considers

Page 268 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

specs about men."

"Like I said ... Ayanokouji-kun ... that ... also ... it's amazing to know ..."

"Only the running is fast, right?"

"But .., he is very smart .., I mean you know ... do you feel that he seems
to know everything ...?"

(Tln: smart here is not about academics, but rather about the way he
thinks.)

Sato-san asked us about that.

"No, no, no..."

Shinohara-san immediately denied it, but I agreed with Sato-san.

"Indeed ... Rather than other strange boys, he might have a strong
impression..."

Really ... Because Shinohara-san didn't think the same as me, so I decided
to follow the current.

"Right ..." Even though her love was rejected ..., when praising
Ayanokouji-kun her eyes shone happily. The feeling of love is still there huh
...?

"Isn't that just because he's rarely seen talking, right?"

"Contrary to Ike-kun right, he always talks a lot."

"Right ... right ... even though he doesn't act much, his mouth keeps on
talking ..." Shinohara-san complained about it but it seemed like she didn't
seem bothered.

Page 269 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"And hence ... I ......" When Sato-san tried to continue speaking, I saw
Ayanokouji-kun in my line of sight ...

The girls were in the middle of a conversation because they didn't realize
it.

"Aa ... sorry ... Can I get a call for a moment?" After confirming that, the
two of them happily accepted it.

"This might be a little longer, so please contact me immediately if
something happens ..."

Saying that ..., I left my seat, and pretended I was calling someone.

As soon as I chased after him, I finally saw Ayanokouji-kun's back.

As people say ... Attack while the iron is still hot.

There is no need for me to hurry, until I move away from the visibility of
Shinohara-san and Sato-san. I followed Ayanokouji-kun while pretending to
call. There is a certain amount of anxiety about following him unnoticed.

With my distance from him, it should be safe, right ..? If I follow him
poorly, then he will surely find out and be aware of me ... Because it's as
much as possible that I want to meet him looking like a coincidence.

If I miss the chance on this spring break , I can only meet him when we're
in second grade.

If I can get in touch before then, I still want to get in touch as soon as
possible.

Fortunately ... There are no friends around Ayanokouji-kun. This should
be the right time to talk with him. I thought so ... but I immediately hid
myself. That's because I noticed the presence of someone approaching
Ayanokouji-kun.

Page 270 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"If I'm not mistaken that person ... isn't he the new Council chairman ...?"

For some reason, he talked with Ayanokouji-kun. This is really an
interesting combination ... There is a possibility I can get new information.

If they talk about parts related to [Ability]. Then it can be considered a
good harvest to hear their chat.

"It's been quite a while ... he talked to the new Council chairman." It's
been almost 10 minutes ...Isn't this too long if it's just to exchange greetings
..?

Don't tell me that Ayanokouji-kun and the Council chairman knew each
other before?

Even though the Council chairman kindly spoke to him ..., Ayanokouji-
kun as usual, had no changes in his expression.

"I really don't understand ..." Rather than knowing each other before, it
looks more like this was their first meeting. I could not see the background of
the two people's behaviors.

I could have listened to their conversation if I approached him a little
more, but it was dangerous.

There is a way to pretend to be a pedestrian, but there will be no place for
me to hide anymore. I have to stay here ... and keep watching them a little
longer ...

Finally, their long conversation suddenly ended.

The director seems to have joined the adults waiting around the entrance
of a pharmacy.

What would Ayanokouji-kun do ... he began to move. He walked

Page 271 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

somewhere as if nothing had happened.

Page 272 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Page 273 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

I thought ... I could get information about his relationship with the
Speaker of the Board, But it looks like there is no hope.

I intended to talk to Ayanokouji-kun, but ... now I'm getting ready to give
up the idea.

After all, maybe it's better to get to know him more closely. I will follow
him a little more, then return to Shinohara-san's place and the others as if
nothing happens.

While chasing Ayanokouji-kun who disappeared around the corner ...,
which I thought was ... but ...

Page 274 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 3

On that day I shopped alone at Keyaki Mall. Before spring break ends and
the new semester begin, there is a new outfit I want to have. That should be
my activity today, but things are starting to change.

The first event came from behind.

And the next thing coming soon from the front.

"Just a minute, can you ...?" When I was thinking where to go, four adults
started talking to me. Three of them wore clothing such as construction
workers, whose hands held clip boards.

But ... the other person who didn't bring anything in a suit was Tsukishiro.
To stop me, those three people looked back.

"Then please move according to your plan"

With orders from Tsukishiro, the adults left first.

"Ayanokouji-kun, it seems like you really enjoy your spring break, as if
like most school students ...!"

With that soft tone, I guess what he wanted to say, turns out to be just
another sarcastic word.

"Do you have business with me, Tsukishiro's Substitute Director?"

"Oh yeah ...? Looks like I wasn't welcomed well ...!" Though knowing
that, Tsukishiro even slightly raised his voice. That was intentionally on a
level that almost made people around them stop their footsteps.

"Because talking to the Chairperson of the Council will cause unwanted

Page 275 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

attention. In my opinion ... it's time for people who don't have the ability to
leave this school." While I still can, I must immediately withdraw the
business that it has. I'm also worried about Matsushita, who followed me.

"I'll ask again ... What exactly is your business?" The distance is far
enough to be able to listen to the conversation ... But that will make various
strange speculations.

"Regarding my business, I will decide when it's time to talk ... You might
not like it, but there is no choice but to hold back. Do you mind?" In my
consideration, Tsukishiro shouldn't do this.

It is better to say that he deliberately wanted to delay time in the place
where the crowds came and our conversation began.

"Alright ... Please speak slowly"

"Let's do it ... then, how about we start talking about the weather?"

Baamm, Tsukishiro who clapped his hands, immediately narrowed his
eyes.

If seeing my reaction is fun, then it's stupid. Only with that. It is
impossible to move emotions in my heart.

"Just kidding ... I also have business after this ... let's get to the main
problem." Even so, Tsukishiro naturally knew that.

Knowing it, but still doing something that provokes me. But it seems like
it he has something to say.

School and Students. Whatever happens this position will never change.
As long as I am a student, I cannot fight the power he has.

"What about this ... Make this your last spring break, then return to your
father's place?"

Page 276 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Forget about the place ... Looks like the conversation is pretty directly to
the core. Yes ... Even though other students hear this talk, it won't be a
problem.

Even though I am at a disadvantage, I am sure that this man will not suffer
much damage. But still...

Having said that-

"You must want to ignore me and walk away. But you better not do this. I
also have a position as chairman. If students were to treat me coldly, I will
show the corresponding Attitude. "

As if seeing through my thoughts, Tsukishiro smiled.

"Unfortunately, I have no intention of dropping out of school at all."

"Do you really hate going back to whiteroom?"

"I like this school very much and want to graduate here as a student. Apart
from that, There is no other reason. "

" This is indeed a good school. With the generous funds allocated by the
government, even this kind of shopping center has been built. Every year,
hundreds of millions of dollars are used like running water here. But most of
the people are stupid, but I just heard that these funds are needed to educate
children, so I agreed so sloppily. "

Tsukishiro sighed and glanced inside the Keyaki Mall shopping center.

"Therefore, I have countless things to deal with. I am now the chairman of
this school. It is because I am concerned about this school that I am so busy
now."

Tsukishiro must act as one on the surface An excellent chairman, there are

Page 277 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

indeed many things to do.

"By the way ... Is she the one who followed you ... Is she Matsushita
Chiaki from your same class?"

Still facing me without changing his eyes, he whisper.

"Even though it's only for a moment, but I saw her hiding behind a wall.
Looks like you're quite popular huh ...?"

Even though most of his gaze was always directed at me, but it seemed
like he was paying close attention. Even though they are having a
conversation, the adults are always careful, huh ...

"You really remember it ... The name of the student from Grade 1?"

"At least your classmates ... It's not wrong to be able to remember right ..."

Should ... I consider it an attack, he made to shake my spirit?

"She knows the answer you gave to mental arithmetic. Maybe it's all
about it. Doesn't this make you even more uncomfortable? Even though you
just want to be a normal student, but it seems to be getting harder and
harder."

It feels like he's trying to imprint in me an impression of hating school.

"If that's all ... I can hold it in ... !!"

"If I say it honestly, actually I never care about you. I would rather say
that I have a strong dissatisfaction that I have to spend precious time dealing
with such things.

"Then ... Why don't you stop? That's not something to be forced on!"

"That's because your father will never allow it, if I oppose that person, I

Page 278 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

will not be able to live in the world where he lives. I myself also want a place
higher."

Tsukishiro didn't think of leaving, but kept on talking.

"You don't have to look at me like that with a look of astonishment, you
can make whatever excuse you want ... Isn't that right ...?"

"Yes, you are right."

"I've seen your results in the white room. I really agree with them It’s an
extraordinary child. Just after the age of 16 years old, He has carried unusual
abilities. The adults around you are out of reach with you in all aspects of
mind, body and skills." Tsukishiro began to shorten the distance. While
continuing to smile.

"Yes ... One thing or another, you managed to survive in this school for 1
year safely. How about shaking hands? That's what is called an adult ..."

Making this 1 year a memory, then returning to the White Room. ...?

"I'm still a child, I won't take it ..."

"Fumu ... Do you think you can escape from me?"

"I intend to fight until the end!"

"There is a saying like this 'Frogs in a well never know the depth of the
ocean', you seem to overestimate yourself. That's why you always act big like
this."

Lightly, Tsukishiro spread his arms.

"Although I don't know what it is like in this school, but for sure you are
not number 1. Even though it's late, there are already many students from the
equivalent White Room, no ... Maybe it's better than you who appears now.

Page 279 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

It's time you realize, if you're just 1 of these people who were created. "

"Even if that is the truth ..., you shouldn't need to care about me anymore
right ...?"

"If you are not his son ... Then that happens. But your father is eager to
take you to a higher place. No matter how cold, he is, he is still your father.
For him you are more than just an example, you are a presence that will lead
many things." Tsukishiro showed dissatisfaction with the man.

It can also be seen to show me its position, strength and height.

"What is the successor Director Tsukishiro's response to the White
Room?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you think it is needed or not needed. What I mean about its existence
itself .."

If you are not in that position, then I will be happy to learn it

"I don't have to answer every of your questions right ...?"

"It's possible that by hearing the answer, I can change my mind ..."

"This isn't something to be said ..., but if it can make Ayanokoji-kun
change his mind ... Then it's a cheap price!" Although knowing that In all
likelihood, I lied, but Tsukishiro accepts them.

"If you want to talk about the facility, then we have to look back from its
history. The White Room was created about 20 years ago ...! You know about
it right ...?"

"Of course ... Because I'm a '4th generation'"

Page 280 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Right. The White Room each year forms a group into one generation.
And one year after that a new group is formed again. Just as you know so far
... Each group is educated under different supervisors. After that they look for
the easiest group. Well .. Although until last year it could only reach 19
students, but hundreds of children have received education from the White
Room."

Even though they are different ages, even though I have never met those
children ... Although we are from the same institution, no one recognizes
faces or knows each other's name.

"Regarding the state of the White Room ... It seems like you know enough
about it, huh...?"

"Generally."

In this conversation I immediately learned that Tsukishiro was the person
closest to my father. There is no doubt that he also wants me to understand
that. For him it might be a small thing. But if you change your perspective a
bit, you will see that he is an important person.

Sometimes ... You can change yourself too.

"Every child can show a certain growth. But ... It is very difficult to
surpass that level... As a result, no child has been able to reach the target set
by the facility for the past 20 years. Right ... That's except you ... Yes ... That
was just a story about 2 years ago. "

Who knows how much money was invested in the White Room.
Hundreds of millions might also not be enough.

And the result is I'm just one ... Really, it's a pointless thing, I thought.

"There are already gifted children, right? What are the children doing
now?" The part that I don't know about at all.

Page 281 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

I can't even imagine what 'They' were doing ... Although Tsukishiro
looked a little surprised for a moment, but he immediately understood.

"You ... After leaving the facility... Of course you don't know anything
about those children, they have grown up well and can contribute to society
... That's what I really want to say. But most of them are children who often
have problems and are not useful. Maybe because they cannot hold in that
environment their hearts are broken. "

Looking rather tired, Tsukishiro continued his story.

"Overall education from birth. If only this could be realized, Japan would
achieve growth that has never happened in the world. But of course, things
are not that simple. But strangely someone can grow in different ways.
Despite the training that the same did not produce results, but we continue to
make progress Talking about that, the generation after you, specific batch 5
and 6. There are some surviving children who have extraordinary talent too,
if this system works, in the next few decades "Whiteroom will be a facility
that can be applied directly. Your father's plan is truly grand and very silly ...,
also very terrible ..."

As if speaking in a mirror, Tsukishiro concluded

"In other words, that's my opinion of Whiteroom. Very stupid and
terrible."

"Thank you, I have learned a lot."

"Referred to as the 4th generation devil. You managed to undergo a
rigorous education, You the only child who persisted in completing the
existing curriculum without the slightest difficulty. You are a valuable
sample I thought. In order not to discredit the shining record, I think it is
better for you to go home. "

Tsukishiro, who took out his cell phone, handed it to me.

Page 282 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Contact your father immediately and tell him that you will drop out soon.
This is the easiest way to protect your pride and respond to your father's
affection."

"Tsukishiro's successor director. It is true that your words have no lies,
you also speak the truth." Whether it's about Whiteroom or it's about me.

Yes, That's true... Tsukishiro smiled.

"The Tsukishiro that I am thinking about is someone whose emotions are
unpredictable, like someone wearing an iron mask. But when you spoke you
were like taking off that mask."

In other words, deliberately manipulating impressions, to make the
conversation as it really is. So ... Instead of looking natural, this is a very
suspicious story.

Like this man. There is no need to mix the surface truths and lies in the
story. Making black to white and white to black and freely can be realized.

With catalyst, there is a 100% chance it's just a fantasy story that is made
to resemble the original.

"Looks like you don't believe me huh ..?"

"Unfortunately ..."

"Yare... Yare ..."

(Geez....)

"Provisional director Tsukishiro himself ... Why not just stop? If my
expulsion does not happen ... You will lose my father's trust ... More or less
you just get a reprimand, I think it's a smart choice to look at the future. I
don't think that's the case something shameful. "

Page 283 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Thank you for your concern. But, it's unnecessary. Because I won't fail."

I don't know how serious he said that. But Tsukishiro smiled a little bit
scary.

"Besides, I'm an adult, My failure won't worry me. Even if you get away
from me. Then that's what happens. I just have to look for a new job. Even
though it's embarrassing, but it's not a big deal."

"For the person who cooperated with my father out of fear, but could
accept failure huh ...? Which is your true feeling?"

"I don't know, which one is ..." Tsukishiro who had been fighting for more
than decades.

The assessment of the iron mask might be more than I imagined. He was
the one sent by the man. I know that he is not a half-hearted person.

"Yes ... If you don't accept it ... It can't be helped ...! It's better we respect
each other's opinions."

"Yes, it is true.."

From here, Tsukishiro was finally quite satisfied and kept a distance from
me.

"I'll be leaving soon ... It's rude to make them wait more than this." Maybe
he was talking about the people who left first ...

"But if you don't want to leave this school, your school life will be
difficult right "

"I want to live it calmly ... But what can I do ... I'm ready for it."
Tsukishiro who continued to smile, made further suggestions.

"Do you want to play a game that benefits unilaterally?"

Page 284 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Game ...?"

"In the new semester ... There will be 1 student from Whiteroom who will
come to this school."

I thought about what he says..., but Tsukishiro made an unexpected
statement.

"Telling me about it ... Is that okay?"

"There is no problem at all, you should also have realized that possibility.
I thought that child would have the role of driving you out of here." Is this a
decision, that there is no need for him to move?

My vigilance does not get stronger or weaker.

I remembered Tsukishiro's statement, but I didn't believe it in the slightest.

"You don't believe me ...? Do you think I can bring 4 or 5 children?
Besides, this school is not so easy to send many people, doesn't that make
sense?"

"Whether it's 1 person or 100 people, I won't believe it." If it's to make a
mess, then this person will mess it up as much as he wants.

I know he is a man like that ...

"Yes ... That might be true..."

"But ... How does that lead to the game?"

"There will be 160 students applying for this appointment, among them
there are those from the White Room. If you find out who this student is, I
don't mind resigning. How ...? This is amazing isn't it?"

Page 285 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Of course ... this is indeed an extraordinary thing. If the troubled
Tsukishiro isn't there ..., my burden is slightly reduced.

"That is a hard thing to believe."

"Just listening to half of it, isn't that okay? For you this is a risk less
thing." Apart from mental damage, there really is no risk.

Doing so is not much loss either.

"I understand. I will accept it even if it is only in form. However, is the
child from Whiteroom confident enough with his abilities? I am also quite
confident with my abilities."

"Heh .... And what is that ... ??"

"I don't know the depth of the ocean. But I know the vastness of the sky."

"That means ... you know how narrow the world is in Whiteroom, so you
know more than anyone in Whiteroom?" What gives this immovable word is
undoubtedly due to education at Whiteroom.

No matter how much the children receive the same education, they will
not reach this height.

Whether it's the first or third generation, or the younger generation, it will
be the same. Tsukishiro continued to watch me with a look of judgment, I
will continue my words.

"In this world, of course, there are people who are greater than me... that's
because there are 7 billion more people in this world. But when it comes to
Whiteroom, then it's different ... !!"

In that world ... there is no better person than me. That's the only answer I
can answer with certainty.

Page 286 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

"Those eyes .... Really look like him. Eyes with horror and deep darkness.
Eyes like that are things that cannot be copied by any Whiteroom students.
No matter how talented they are ... !!" Concluding that conversation more
than this is pointless... Tsukishiro turned around and left.

Page 287 Goldenagato | mp4directs.com

Part 4

After separating from Tsukishiro, I wandered around Keyaki Mall for a
while. It's okay to forget for a moment about Tsukishiro.

The problem is..., Matsushita, who kept hiding and eliminating her
presence. I could have gotten away from her ..., but it would be troublesome
if she spreads strange rumors about me and the Chairman of the board after
this. After correctly confirming that Matsushita was still following me ..., I
decided to ambush her.

I have to find out the reason why she followed me.

I don't think that's it ... But there is a possibility she is the one who sided
with Tsukishiro. I don't know if it's from the beginning or in the middle of it.
At that point, what is still black and white.

(Tln: black and white means the meaning is unclear.)

The problem is, where should I talk to her? Moreover ... This is the day
that is approaching the end of spring break and Keyaki Mall is busy. If I
speak carelessly here, I might be able to attract a lot of attention. Let's look at
the timing and fix it immediately at the initial stage.

Luckily she is Matsushita ... A student in the same class.

Even if someone is watching our conversation, they might only be able to
think about an ordinary conversation every day. Turning slightly at the corner
of the road ..., I ambushed Matsushita.

If she doesn't follow me, should I use Kei to take the next step in
anticipation? About 10 seconds later, Matsushita followed of the street
corner.

"What!?"

She seems like she didn't think that I was standing waiting, she made a
shocked sound. If she doesn't try to chase me ..., there's no need for her to be
too surprised like that.

"Need something from me?" When I calmly asked her, Matsushita put a
hand on her chest to calm her beating heartbeat.

"Need something ...? What do you mean ..? That's what I want to say ...,
but it seems like you have realized that huh ..." Seeing my composure ...
Apparently she decided that making poor excuses won't work here. ..

But, what is the reason she followed me? That is ... The most important
part. If she only exchanged greetings normally, She shouldn't have to hide
and follow me.

"Un ... There's a little..., I really am chasing you Ayanokouji-kun."

After Matsushita confirmed that there was no one around ..., she admitted
that she had indeed followed me.

There was no deep contact between Matsushita and myself.

However ..., if you look carefully ..., without a doubt she shows quite
vigilant attitude. Then ... she could also see me trying to find out the situation
psychologically, which she did not want to show.

"Why do you think I'm chasing you?"

That's not just a simple preface ..., apparently she wants to start a
psychological war against me.

"I don't know ... I really don't know ... Leaving that aside.., since when did
you follow me?" I didn't tell her when I realized that.

When answering questions, I try to collide with other questions.

"Yes ... Just now..."

"Just?" By not letting Matsushita ask additional questions ..., I can hear
the answer from her again.

If I give her a chance ... I'm sure she will ask, [Since when did you notice
Ayanokoujikun?].

"Who is that ... Right... When you were having a conversation with the
new Council Speaker... it seems ..." Even though she mixed it with lies ...,
Matsushita admitted that she did see my conversation with the Council
Speaker. But soon after that ... Matsushita slightly lowered the corner of her
mouth. It seems that she realized his own mistake.

I will make room for her here. If she had doubts about the relationship
between the Council Speaker and me, Matsushita would definitely ask a
question.

"Until holding talks with the Chairman of the Council ... Did something
happen?"

"Looks like he wants to reconstruct Keyaki mall ..., coincidentally saw me
then he asked for some opinions from me. Like what facilities I like and so
on. Yes ... He asked a few things about that."

"Oh ... That's how it is..." Matsushita when she saw me in the middle of
the conversation. She might want to try to use the information obtained from
following me for a long time, but the opposite happened ... As long as she
saw the workers moving together with the Speaker of the Board, she would
recognize my story as a very credible story.

"So ... What's with that?"
