Chapter 1 Before the storm...

April. Today is the day of the entrance ceremony.
I'm on my way to school on the bus.
I don't want to look around and look suspicious, so I'm reading a novel.
Then I heard an argument near the priority seat in front of me.
They were arguing over whether to give up their seats to an old woman or not.
A girl with cute short hair also joined the fight.
The argument went on for a while, but as I continued to read the novel, it seemed that someone had given up their seat.
In the end, the boy with the blond hair did not give up his seat.
When I looked next to him, my eyes met with a girl.

"What? The book you're reading is "Farewell My Lovely Lady", right? Do you like novels?"

I was puzzled by the sudden call.

Ayanokoji: "Well...?

"I'm Hiyori Shiina.Shiina."

Should I introduce myself here too?

Ayanokoji: I'm Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. I was a little confused when I was suddenly approached. I'm sorry."

Shiina: "No, It's Ayanokoji-kun, right?. We seem to be going to the same school. I look forward to working with you from now on!"

Yeah, she's a very pretty girl.
I'm glad this is the first girl I met.

Ayanokoji: "It's nice to meet you too."

Shiina: "Yes. I'd like to continue where I left off, but do you read a lot of novels?"

Ayanokoji "Reading is my only hobby."

Shiina: "I see. I'm the same "

Oops, for some reason she look very happy.
Are you trying to corrupt me with that cute smile?

Shiina: "If you don't mind, could you lend me the book after you finish reading it? It's been a while since I read it."

Ayanokoji: "I understand."

I couldn't say no because of her dazzling smile.
While we were chatting about the book, we seemed to have arrived at the school.

Shiina: "It looks like there's a class list posted over there, so let's go together."

Ayanokoji: "Right."

This girl is very aggressive.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make friends, but I think I can build a good relationship with Shiina.

Shiina: "It's hard to see."

Ayanokoji: "I'll go check for Shiina's as well, wait for me."

Shiina: "Yes. Thank you very much."

I'm in class C, huh?
Shiina, Shiina.
Oh, fortunately, it's the same C class as mine.

Ayanokoji: "I and Shiina are both of C class. Nice to meet you."

Shiina: "Yes. It's a good start to be in the same class as your first friend."

Huh, this girl is starting to look like an angel.
Shiina. I'll protect you no matter what...
I put that gross feeling away in my heart and headed to the classroom while chatting with Shiina.
I was seated near the window in the back of the room.
Shiina was sitting in front of me.

Shiina: "I'm glad our seats are close together."

Ayanokoji: "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing."

The students who had already arrived at the classroom were little nervous that there was hardly any conversation.
If I hadn't talked to Shiina on the bus, I would have been a nobody and would have ended up being a nobody.
Thank God for angel (Shiina).

A few minutes later, the bell rang, signaling the start of the school day.
Almost at the same time, a man wearing glasses walked into the classroom.
I'd say he's around 40.

Sakagami: "Good morning, new students. Congratulations on your enrollment. I'm Kazuma Sakagami, and I will be taking class C. In this school, there is no change of classes every year. I'll be your homeroom teacher for the next three years until you graduate. I look forward to working with you. I'm going to hand out a pamphlet that describes the special rules of this school. Please take a look at it."

It seemed to be the same pamphlet I got at the acceptance speech.

Sakagami: "Next, I'll hand out student ID cards. You can use this card to use the facilities on the campus and to purchase goods at the stores. It's like a credit card. As you can see, points are used as money in this school, so don't spend too much. There is nothing in the school that you can't buy with these points. You can buy anything on the school grounds with these points."

Anything

Sakagami: "The points will be automatically transferred on the first day of every month. All of you should have already been given 100,000 points equally. In addition, each point is worth one yen."

The classroom became noisy.
I guess so. We were suddenly given 100,000 yen as pocket money, an amount too large for a student.
As expected, the Japanese government is involved in this school.

Sakagami: "This school measures students by their abilities. If you are admitted, you have value and potential. You can use it as you like. But don't try to forcibly steal from anyone. The school is sensitive to bullying issues. Do you have any questions?"

The room is still buzzing, but no one seems to have any questions.

Sakagami: "Then please chat as you like until the ceremony."

The teacher left the classroom after saying that.

"Hey, let's go to the stores on the way home! Let's go shopping!"

"Sounds good, I agree!"

The teacher disappears, and the room instantly becomes noisy.

Shiina: "What do you think, Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji: "Are you talking about this amount of payment?"

Shiina "Yes. Don't you think this amount is too high for a student?"

Ayanokoji: "That's true."

Shiina: "I don't think it's good to overspend just because the amount is large."

Ayanokoji "Why did you think that?"

Shiina "The teacher said there's nothing you can't buy with points, right? Besides, the teacher never said anything about getting 100,000 yen every month..."

Shiina also seemed to have doubts about the teacher's phrasing.

Ayanokoji: "That's true, it would be a big problem if the 100,000 yen was only given this month and not next month at all."

Shiina: "That's right. If you don't mind, I'd like to take a tour of the school grounds after the entrance ceremony."

Ayanokoji: "Okay. I'm also curious about a lot of things."

I turned my gaze to the ceiling.

Shiina: "What's wrong?"

Ayanokoji: "Here, look at that place. Isn't that a surveillance camera?"

Shiina: "It's true. Why is there a camera in the classroom...?"

I don't know.

"Hey, hey!"

When I was talking with Shiina, the girl sitting next to me called out to me.

Ayanokoji: "Hmm? What's up?"

"Surveillance cameras, really?"

Ayanokoji: "Oh, look, there it is."?

"Oh my god, that's real. That's disgusting."

Shiina: "Nice to meet you. My name is Shiina Hiyori. Can I ask you your name?"

"Me? I'm Ibuki Mio."

Shiina: "So you're Ibuki-san, I look forward to working with you for the next three years."

I'll introduce myself here too.

Ayanokoji: "I'm Kiyotaka Ayakoji. Nice to meet you."

Ibuki: "Out of the blue. Well, nice to meet you.By the way, what is the purpose of the surveillance cameras?"

Shiina: "Well, I guess it's to monitor class behavior and class disputes."

Ibuki: "So that's how they keep track of our grades.It's bad enough to be under constant surveillance."

Ayanokoji: "Yes, you're right."

Ibuki: "I heard that it's not good to use too many points, but how much do you think I should save?"

Shiina: "I don't think saving too much is a good thing, and I think it would be good to have half of points."

Ibuki: "Yeah, okay. Arigato."

Ayanokoji: "It's almost time for the ceremony."

Shiina: "That's right. Let's go together, Ibuki-san."

Ibuki: "What? I get it."

It seems that Ibuki is also vulnerable to Shiina's smile.

After the ceremony was over, and after a briefing on the facility, we were dismissed.

Shiina: "Well, Ayanokoji-kun, Ibuki-san, let's go."

Ibuki: "What? Where?"

Shiina: "We're going to look around the grounds!"

Ibuki: "Me too?"

Shiina: "Yes!"

Ayanokoji: "We might learn something by looking around."

Ibuki: "That's true. There's nothing special to do back home..."

Shiina: "Then let's go..."

Shiina seems to be happy to have found someone new to talk to.
Ibuki seems to be a little taken aback, but...

We looked around at various places such as cafeterias, supermarkets, and daily goods stores.

Shiina: "There were free sections in many places."

Ibuki: "There was also free water available in the vending machines. This school must be pretty lenient."

Ayanokoji: "Also, I'm sure you two noticed that there were surveillance cameras everywhere."

Shiina: "Let's take a break on the bench near the convenience store over there."

Ibuki: "Right."

We took a break on the bench. We've walked around quite a bit.

Shiina: "Maybe... we won't get 100,000 yen next month."

Ibuki: "Hey, what do you mean?""

Shiina: "Didn't the teacher say that this school measures students by their abilities?"

Ibuki: "He did say that, didn't he?"

Shiina: "Seeing that there are a lot of surveillance cameras, I'm guessing that daily attitudes, class behavior, test scores, etc. will affect the points that will be given next month."

Ayanokoji: "Does that mean that the amount of points deducted will also be reduced next month?"

Shiina: "Yes. And I don't think you need a free section if you can get 100,000 yen every month."

Ibuki: "Isn't it because a lot of people spend it like idiots?"

Shiina: "That may be part of it, or maybe I'm overthinking it..."

"What the hell, guys? We're the first to use this place. Get out of my way!"

While I was talking with Shiina and the others, I heard shouting.
It seems that several people are struggling in front of the convenience store.

Second year "Oh, scary. You guys are first years, right? Let me guess what class you're in, class D, right?"

Red hair: "So,what the hell!"

Second year: "Haha, it's D after all. Let's go. I'll give it up for the poor defective for only today."

Red hair: "Are you going to run away, you bastards!"

Second years "Bark while you can. There's going to be hell to pay."

hell?
I was curious about the comments of the students who were probably upperclassmen.

Ibuki: "He is a delinquent."

Shiina: "Let's call it a day and go home, shall we?"

Ibuki: "I guess so."

Ayanokoji: "Yes, you're right."

Thus ends the long first day of school life.

The second day of school life

As it was the first day of classes, the majority of the class was just an explanation of the policies.
Many of the teachers were so friendly that it was hard to believe that we were in a normal school, and I was out of sync.

After school, Shiina invited me to go watch the introduction of club activities, so we headed to the gym together.

Shiina: "Have you been in any club activities before, Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji: "Hmm, nothing in particular. I was in the homecoming club in junior high school. I liked to read, so I didn't do anything."

Shiina: "It's similar for me. Don't you think it would be nice to have a club activity where we could talk about our favorite novels?"

Ayanokoji: "I guess so."

Shiina: "Hmm.."

As I was talking with Shiina, the introduction of club activities began.
There are quite a few different types of clubs.
There were no club activities like the ones Shiina had mentioned, but...
The introduction of club activities came to an end.
One student wearing glasses stood silently on the stage.
He attracted a lot of attention and was even ridiculed.
But gradually, no one spoke up in front of the intimidation that seemed to dominate the place.
Suddenly, a beautiful girl came into view, and she freaked out...

Student council president, huh...

He finished his speech in an indifferent manner and gradually became noisier.

Shiina: "It looks like it's over. Do you want to join the club activities, Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji: "No, reading is good enough for me."

Shiina: "I guess so. Then let's go home."

"Hey you guys!"

We were about to leave when we were approached.
As I recall, our class...

Shiina: "I believe you are Ishida-kun, Tamiya-kun, and Konno-kun, right?"

Shiina, are you purposely making a mistake?

Ishizaki: "Who the hell is that! It's Ishizaki, Komiya and Kondo!"

Shiina: "That's right. Why did you call us?"

Ishizaki: "These two guys are going to join the basketball team, so the three of us came to watch. You guys are often together, but you're not dating, are you? Ayanokoji?"

You're scaring me. Don't come at me so suddenly...

Ayanokoji: "We're not dating. We're friends."

Komiya: "I see!"

Kondo: "No sneaking around! Ayanokoji!"

Ayanokoji: "Ah, yeah."

Ishizaki: "Ayanokoji, Shiina, let's exchange contact information with us. We'll help you out if you have any problems!"

Shiina: "Yes, let's exchange!."

Ayanokoji: "Right."

Three more people's contact information was added, bringing the total to five.
The more contacts I have, the happier I feel.

Ishizaki: "Sorry to interrupt. We're in the same class, so let's get along! See you later, you two."

Shiina: "Yes! Goodbye."

Ayanokoji: "See you later."

I thought they were a bunch of yankees in class, but they seemed to be nice guy's.
After this, Shiina and I parted ways, and I finished the second day.

Ishizaki: "Good morning Komiya!"

Komiya: "Good morning, Ishizaki!"

When I arrived at school, I found Ishizaki talking to Komiya with a big smile on his face.
It's unusual for these two to come to school so early.
It's been a week since the entrance ceremony. Ishizaki and Komiya had been arriving at school on the verge of being late every day. Today they're unusually early.

Ishizaki: "I'm looking forward to class so much that my eyes are glazed over..."

Komiya: "Isn't it great that we have swimming at this time of year! After all, it's school swimming!"

Ishizaki: "Kondo and Ayanokoji, come here too!"

Kondo: "What's up? Are you talking about swimming?"

Ayanokoji: "What's wrong?"

Ishizaki: "I'm talking about how it's exciting to see girls in their school swimsuits!"

Hey, are you stupid...?
I silently left the circle.

Ibuki: "What a lowlife. Is that all men think?"

Ayanokoji: "I'm not like that..."

Ibuki: "If you were still there, I would have kicked your ass."

Ayanokoji: "Quit it, Ibuki has martial arts experience...if I am not careful, I might die."

Shiina: "Both of you, what are you talking about?"

Ibuki: "Those three were talking about school swimsuits, and Ayanokoji was about to join that circle, so I was warning him."

Shiina: "Do you want to see me in my school swimsuit, Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji: "If you want to see it or not, I want to see it.

I was kicked by Ibuki.

Ibuki: "What are you talking, Shiina?"

Shiina: "I was just making fun of you, Ayanokoji-kun."

I'm glad to see that the angel (Shiina) is enjoying herself.
It's worth getting kicked by Ibuki...

Ibuki: "If you look at me in a disgusting way while swimming, I'll drown you in the water."

Ayanokoji: "Yes, I swear I won't look at you like that."

Ibuki: "Very well."

I'm totally being played by Ibuki and Shiina.
Well, this kind of relationship is not so bad, I thought.

Ishizaki: "Okay, the pool!

After the lunch break, the swimming class that Ishizaki and the others had been waiting for finally arrived.
They looked so dull in the morning class.
The power of girls is great.
With this in mind, I got dressed.

Komiya: "Wow! This school is amazing, isn't it? It's like the competition pools you see on TV!"

That's true. You're right, it's very clean and well maintained.

Ishizaki: "Are the girls still not coming?"

Ishizaki sniffs excitedly.

Kondo: "Hey, what would happen to me if I lost my mind and went into the girls' locker room?"

Ayanokoji: "After being beaten up by the girls, you would be suspended from school, or worse, expelled. And you would probably be sent to the police station."

Kondo: "Ugh, please quit being realistic."

Ayanouji: "The girls will hate you if you're too conscious about swimsuits and stuff."

Ishizaki: "Is there any guy who isn't conscious?"

I feel like I could have gotten along with these guys, but now I just want to keep my distance.

Shiina: "Wow, it's so spacious and beautiful. Ibuki-san!"

Ibuki: "Yes, it's very different from when I was in middle school."

After a few minutes of delay from the group of boys, girl's voice reached our ears.

Ishizaki: "Here it comes!"

What are you preparing yourself for, Ishizaki?

Shiina: "Ayanokoji-kun, I am wearing the school swimsuit you've been waiting for! do you like it?"

Angel tempting me?
Endure, endure, endure.

Ibuki: "What are you gloating about, Ayanokoji?"

Ayanokoji: "Shiina said some strange things, so I was absorbed in a battle with myself."

Shiina: "Fufu Ibuki-san, seduction failed!"

Ibuki: "You're a strange character, Shiina."

Both of them are very good physical condition, or rather, very slender.

And then Ibuki is looking at me.
Oh no, did she find out that I was thinking about something weird?

Ibuki: "Hey, Ayanokoji. Have you been in any club activities before?"

What

Ayanokoji: "No, not really. I was in the homecoming club in junior high school."

Ibuki: "Really? You've got the second best body after Albert Yamada over there."

Shiina: "You've got a nice muscular body."

Ibuki and Shiina complimented me.
Shiina even gave me a body touch.

Ayanokoji: "Shh, Shiina, quit it. It tickles."

Shiina: "I'm sorry..."

Yeah, she's cute, so I forgive her.

By the way, Albert Yamada has a body that doesn't look like a high school student.
Dose he speak Japanese? I'll talk to him next time.

Hmm? While I was looking away, the trio of idiots, Ishizaki, Komiya and Kondo, were all bent forward.
I wonder how long they were looking at the girls...

As expected, the girls looked at them as if they were looking at garbage.

After the class started, we swim some 50 meters and then had a competition.
The teacher gave 5000 points to the first male and female swimmers.
On the other hand, the slowest swimmers were supposed to get remedial lessons...

As a result, Ibuki took first place for the girls.
As I thought when I was kicked, Ibuki seems to have good motor skills.
On the other hand, Shiina didn't seem to be that good at sports.
For the boys, a student named Ryuen took first place.
He was pretty fast.
As for me, I took the 7th place.

The next day, third period.

A quiz was suddenly given.
Everyone was surprised of the sudden quiz, but they were relieved when they heard that it would not affect their grades.
Some of the questions at the end were quite high level.
Ibuki next to me was staring at the questions until the end, but Shiina had put down her mechanical pencil early on.
I'm sure she'll get a perfect score.
As for me, I answered the questions in an suitable manner.

Ishizaki: "You know, I'll forgive you if you're honest with me."

Ayanokoji: "What are you talking about?"

After finishing lunch, I was chatting with Ishizaki and the others near the vending machine.
I was suddenly confronted by Ishizaki.

Ishizaki: "We're friends,...we'll spend three years together, right?"

Ayanokoji: "Ah, yes, we are."

Ishizaki put his arm around my shoulder.

Ishizaki: "You're not going out with Shiina, are you? I thought I told you I wouldn't allow you to slip away?"

Komiya and Kondo were also looking at me suspiciously.

Ayanokoji: "No,we're not dating. Shiina is cute, but I can't keep up with her."

Kondo: "What are you talking about? You're pretty handsome! The other day a girl was saying, 'Ayanokoji-kun is good-looking!"

Komiya: "Look, you're well-balanced. I thought you were dating."

Ayanokoji "Well, I'd go out with her if I could, but that's not true..."

Ishizaki: "I believe you if you say so! But you're close with Ibuki too, right?"

Kondo: "Two-timing? Are you a scumbag?"

Ayanokoji: "Ibuki and I sit next to each other. We talk a lot, but we're not dating."

Komiya: "I see. Shiina and Ibuki are both beautiful in C class. I was curious..."

Ayanokoji: "Well, I guess school life would be fun if I had a girlfriend."

Ishizaki: "Right? You think so too, don't you?"

Kondo "Oh, I want a girlfriend!"

Komiya "I mean, aren't the girls in the D class next door are high level?"

Kondo "Kushida-chan, for example! She's a real angel!"

Komiya "I'm going for Shinohara!"

Ishizaki: "Oh, really? What about Ayanokoji?

I've only talked to Shiina and Ibuki among the girls.

Ayanokoji: "I've only talked to Shiina and Ibuki with girls. I can't even match the names and faces of the other girls in our class..."

Kondo: "That's not good! I'll call you next time I invite Kushida-chan and the others over to play, and I'll introduce you to them!"

Ayanokoji "..."

I'm pressured by Kondo.

Ishizaki: "It's almost time for afternoon class. Let's go back!"

Komiya "yeah."

After school

Kondo sent a chat to the group.

Kondo: 'Hey, good news! Kushida-chan and the others promised to hang out tomorrow!'

Ishizaki: 'Really? Nice Kondo!'

Komiya 'Who's coming?

Kondo 'I told them Komiya's been aiming for Shinohara and they said they'd try to get her! Sh's bringing a few more girls.'

Ishizaki 'Isn't this a party! I'm looking forward to it.'

Kondo: "Hey, Ayannkoji's coming too, right?'

The chat was updating at such a rapid pace that there was no room for me to get into it, but I had to answer when they mentioned me by name.

Ayanokoji: "You've already invited her? Kondo's power of action is amazing. I'll join you."

Something like this.

Kondo: 'That's settled! I'll see you tomorrow!'

Ishizaki 'yes'

Komiya "yes!

Ayanokoji "Good night."

Interacting with other classes?
Ishizaki said it was a blind date.
I'm really looking forward to it.

The next day after school

"I'm sorry I'm late. Here you go!"

Kondo: "Hey, Kushida-chan! You've never talked to Ayanokoji before, right? Come on, Ayanokoji, introduce yourself!"

Oh,that's sudden.

Ayanokoji: "Hi, I'm Kiyotaka Ayanokoji from class C."

Oops, I was nervous.

Kushida: "It's nice to meet you! Ayanokoji-kun!"

Oops, a sudden wink.
But thanks to the angel (Shiina), I had built up a tolerance for cute girls, so it didn't really hit me that hard. Well, Ishizaki and Kondo, who were standing next to me, had hearts in their eyes.

Ayanokoji: "I'm sorry, I got nervous in front of a pretty girl. Nice to meet you."

Kushida: "Ayanokoji-kun is handsome too."

Oops, I hadn't expected this.
I didn't see that coming...
I was stared at from both sides.

Kondo: "So, where are the rest of the students?"

Kushida: "Oh, they're here! Everyone, this way!"

Kondo "Geez, why are Hirata and Karuizawa..."

Hmm? Speaking of Hirata and Karuizawa, they were the male and female leaders of D class, right?
It's good to have a connection.
The three idiots don't seem to like them for some reason.

Hirata: "Hello, everyone in class C."

Komiya: "Hey Hirata! I heard you started going out with Karuizawa."

Karuizawa: "What? Is the information already out there?"

Kondo: "Yeah, it's been circulating in C class too!"

Hirata "Oh man..."

Ishizaki "Hirata! I'll introduce you. This is Ayanokoji. He doesn't seem to have many friends, so I brought him here."

Hirata: "I see. Nice to meet you, Ayanokoji-kun!"

Oh, so there's not only a girl named Kushida in D class, but also a guy who can make others fall in love with him...
I absentmindedly thought it was cool.

Ayanokoji: "I'm Kiyotaka Ayanokoji. I'm not much of a conversationalist, but it's nice to meet you. Hirata."

After introducing myself to the other four, Karuizawa, Shinohara, Sato, and Matsushita, we decided to go around the mall.

Ishizaki, Kushida and Kondo at the front.

Shinohara and Komiya in the second row.

Hirata and Karuizawa in the third row.

Sato, Me and Matsushita at the back of the line.

Those three are putting too much priority on their own greed, aren't they?
As I was surrounded by people I had never met before, Karuizawa, who was walking in front of me, approached me with a troubled look on her face.

Karuizawa "Hey, Ayanokoji-kun. I'm going to ask you a strange question, but could it be that those three guys are after Kushida-san and Shinohara-san?"

Oh...I've suddenly been hit by nail on the head.
I don't know if I should confess...

Ayanokoji: "Well... the two in the lead have been saying for a while that Kushida-chan is cute. Komiya seems to be aiming for Shinohara-san."

Karuizawa: "I can tell by looking at them... they look just like our three idiots!"

Matsushita: "That's true!"

Sato "I think they are look alike too!"

Ayanokoji: "Are there 3 idiots in D class too? The three in front of us are called the three idiots in our class too."

Karuizawa is laughing.

Hirata: "Hey, hey, Karuizawa-san, it's bad for Ike and the others to be called three idiots..."

Matsushita "Hirata-kun, so you know who the three idiots are!"

Hirata: "Haha, that's a bummer..."

Karuizawa: "Ayanokoji-kun, are you here today because you want a girlfriend?"

Ayanokoji: "When I was talking with those three guys, I told them I didn't have many friends, and they said they'd introduce me. Well, they're not bad guys, so please take them with a grain of salt."

Karuizawa: "I see, I see."

Perhaps losing interest, Karuizawa returned to her conversation with Hirata.

Matsushita: "Hey, Ayanokoji-kun, what did you think when you got the 100,000 yen?"

Ayanokoji: "I was very surprised."

Sato: "That's right! But you know, with all the facilities, it's like paradise."

Sato must be feeling like she's in a flower garden.

Ayanokoji: "Well, I'm afraid I haven't used it at all..."

Sato: "What? Why not?"

Ayanokoji: "Don't you think all good stories have an ulterior motive?"

Matsushita: "Oh, that's what I was thinking too. That's why I try to save as much as I can."

Sato: "Well, I've already spent more than half of it..."

Ayanokoji: "Well, girls are probably more careful about their makeup and clothes, so their expenses naturally increase."

Sato: "That's true. I should take a lesson from Matsushita-san and save money, shouldn't I?"

Ayakoji: "Yeah, the points might come in handy someday."

Matsushita: "What can I say, you're really solid, Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji "Really?."

Sato: "The boys in my class are already out of money after buying a game console.

Matsushita: "Yeah."

Ayanokoji: "Maybe that's normal."

Although I wasn't used to it, I walked around the facility, talking with the girls in D class.

7pm. When the sun began to set

Kushida: "I guess it's time to call it a night. Thanks for today! It was fun."

She said and winked at us.
It seems that Ishizaki and Kondo had already been beaten...

After that, we thanked them and left.
On our way out, we exchanged contact information with Hirata, Sato, and Matsushita. That makes eight. It was the first time for me to interact with people from other classes, but it was a lot of fun...

In the chat room

Ayanokoji: "Thanks for inviting me today."

Kondo: 'No problem, no problem!

Komiya 'We had fun too!

Ishizaki: 'Let's work hard again tomorrow!

Ayanokoji: "I guess so. Good night.

Kondo 'Good night!

Komiya "Good night"!

Ishizaki: "Good night!

The three people I exchanged contact information with today also sent me chats.
I replied to them and went to sleep.

I'm getting used to my new life, and already a month has passed.

May 1st

"Hey, did you get your 100,000 points transferred?"

"I only got about half of them..."

"Me too,Is there something wrong?"

As I expected, there were many students in the class discussing about the points.
As I took my seat, I was approached from the front and next to me.

Shiina: "Good morning, Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "Good morning, Shiina."

Ibuki: "Hey, I only got 49,000 points transferred... how did it go with you guys?"

Shiina: "I got the same amount."

Ayanokoji: "Me too."

This means that what Shiina said before was true?

Shiina: "I think the explanation will be given today."

As we were discussing, the bell rang for the start of school day.

Not long after, Sakagami-sensei came into the classroom with a poster-like object.

Ishizaki: "Sensei, we only received about 50,000 points!"

Manabe: "We should have received 100,000 points every month, right?"

Sakagami "No, it's been confirmed that the money was transferred this month without any problems."

Kondo "Then what does it mean?"

Sakagami: "I'll explain that now."

With that, sensei put up a poster in front of him.

First grade class point list

Class A 940cp
Class B 650cp
Class C 490cp
Class D 0cp

Sakagami-sensei then began to explain in a simple manner.
The school is constantly monitoring your class attitude, tardiness, and absences.
That class grades are reflected in the cp.
The relationship between cp and pp.

Ishizaki: "Does that mean we have lost half of our cp?"

Sakagami: "That's right, about 70% of the students took the class seriously without being late or absent, but thanks to the remaining 30% of the students, we lost half of our cp."

The students who had been diligent voiced their dissatisfaction.

Kondo: "You mean the class is jointly responsible?"

Sakagami: "That's right. From now on, there will be an increase in the number of exams where we compete with other classes. If we can win there, our cp will increase. Besides, if you overtake the cp of class B, you will be promoted to class B and class B will be demoted to class C."

Komiya: "So that's why the class doesn't change for three years..."

Sakagami: "And one more thing. In this school, any student who gets a red score on a test will be expelled. I'll also post the results of the quiz."

Ishizaki: "Ugh! What the hell?"

Kondo: "Oh man, you've got to tell me sooner than that, sensei!"

Sakagami: "I'm sorry. Well, it's for the midterm and final exams, so it doesn't matter this time."

Then the students who had red marks seemed relieved.

Ayanokoji: " Shiina is the TOP in this class. Congratulations."

Shiina: "Ehehe, thank you so much!"

I got it again today! Smile of an angel (Shiina)

Ibuki: "It turned out just like Shiina said it would."

Ayanokoji: "Yes, it did. But still..."

Shiina: "It looks like class D has to live on zero yen..."

Ibuki: "Aren't they a bunch of idiots?"

Ayanokoji: "I'm pretty sure Hirata said their class attitude was all over the place."

Shiina: "I see you've made friends in the other classes."

For some reason, Shiina is happy.
She's like a mother who's happy her child who made a friend...
Yeah, it's cute.

Sakagami: "Oh, I still have something to tell you, listen. If you've been watching the cp, you've probably noticed that in this school, the best students are sorted into classes in order of merit. And the only way to get the benefits of getting the job you want and the school you want to go to is to graduate with A class. Otherwise, the school won't guarantee anything for the rest of the students."

Sakagami-sensei finished his explanation and left the classroom.
I feel like he just dropped a bomb with a single statement...

"'Huh? What the hell was that? We're in C class, does that mean we're not good enough?"

"We have to graduate with an A grade.What the hell is that?"

"I didn't hear anything about that!"

The classroom immediately becomes noisy.

Bang!

Suddenly, I hear a banging on the teacher's desk, and the room goes silent.

"Hi, little bastards. Shut up and listen to me for a minute.

The turbulent school life is about to begin...

To be continued...

——————————————————————————————————

Afterword

How was it?

Compared to now, Ayanokoji's character.

The first part of the story had a lot of character collapse.

I tried to use that as a reference.

In the next episode, the king of the C class will finally make his move.

Thank you very much for reading.

So long!

Chapter 2 The Birth of a King

Ryuen's point of view

For the past month.
On the surface, I've taken no action.
I've just been acting like a quiet, serious boy.
If anyone who knew me in junior high school saw me, they would laugh.

Well, there was a lot going on behind the scenes.

There were three things I did in April.

The first was to understand how the school works.

I asked Sakagami all the questions I had.
He said he couldn't answer most of them.
The target was changed to senpai.
I looked for a guy who is in need of private points.
I called him into my room and asked him about it.
He talked about everything, like an idiot, but...
I didn't have to pay him any points.
When I told him I was going to report him to the school for telling the freshman how the school works.
His face was so pale.
I guess there's a penalty for leaking information.
I got the information without spending any money.

The second was to figure out the location of the surveillance cameras.

If you want to use violence, threats, dirty tricks, first of all.
I can't move without knowing the location of the security cameras.
I got most of them.

The last thing I need to do is figure out who the leaders of each class are.

I got the information from Senpai.
I was looking into the main figures of the other classes that would be the enemy.

Class A: Kohei Katsuragi and Arisu Sakayanagi.
Class B: Honami Ichinose and Ryuji Kanzaki.
Class D: Hirata Yosuke and Karuizawa Kei.

These were the ones that stood out.
I'm sure there are many others, but this is enough for now.

This is the end of my behind-the-scenes work.
Let's start by taking control of the C class.

And now

Bang!

Ryuen: "Hey, you little bastards.Shut up for a minute and listen to what I have to say."

The classroom fell silent.
The one who slammed on the teacher's desk and started talking was Ryuen.
As I recall, he was the student who came first in swimming.

Ryuen: I'll be in charge of this class from today.You guys do as I tell you. Trust me and follow me.I will definitely raise this class to class A."

Ishizaki: "What? What are you talking about?"

Ryuen: "Ishizaki or whatever you call yourself, you'll be working as my soldier."

Ishizaki: "What?"

Perhaps annoyed by his words, Ishizaki closed in on him.

The moment Ishizaki closed in on him.

Ishizaki was beaten to death.

"Kyaaa!"

Komiya: "What are you doing, you bastard! Hey, let's do this, Kondo!"

Kondo "Aah!"

The two friends stood up as Ishizaki was beaten up.

Ryuen: "All right!, come on!"

Ishizaki: "Damn you, you son of a bitch! I'll crush you!"

It's a three-on-one situation. However, Ryuen has the upper hand.

Ibuki: "He's quite the fighter, isn't he?"

Ibuki begins to analyse.
That's true. He must have had a lot of experience.
He hadn't taken a step back against the three of them.
Kondo gets kicked in the head and loses consciousness.
Komiya was knocked out next.
Ishizaki was about to be hit as well.
The owner of a huge body stops him.

Alberto: "You are overdoing it."

Boom!

Alberto is kicked in the stomach and falls on his butt.
This time it's Ryuen versus Alberto.
The people around him were almost caught up in the fierce fistifight.

Kaneda: "Everyone, please get out of the classroom. You'll get caught in the middle!"

said a student wearing glasses.
The other students leave the classroom, trying not to get involved.

The fierce fistfight came to an end.
Alberto, with his uncommonly Japanese power and strength, began to gradually overwhelm Ryuen.
Ryuen, who had been overwhelming the three of them, also runs out of power here.

Alberto: "Huh ."

Alberto also seems to have lost a lot of strength.

Ishizaki: "Oh, shit!What the hell is that guy... let's go!"

Komiya and Kondo: "Ah."

Ishizaki woke Komiya and Kondo up.
The three of them walked out of the classroom in a daze.
The other students hurriedly left because they didn't know what they would do if Ryuen woke up.

I, Shiina, Ibuki, and the collapsed Ryuen remained in the classroom.

Shiina: "He is in a terrible state, isn't it? What should we do?"

Ibuki: "Why don't you just leave him alone? He got what he deserved."

Shiina: "It's a pity to leave him alone.If we take him to the infirmary, it could be a problem...I'll go get some bandages and disinfectant. You two keep an eye on him, please."

After saying that, Shiina left the classroom.

Ibuki: "Really, you're such a softie..."

Ayanokoji: "This class."

Ibuki: "What did you think?"

Ayanokoji: "There are a lot of martial artists in our class.I thought if we had a sports test, we'd be unbeatable."

Ibuki: "That's not what I wanted to ask you... that's enough."

Ayanokoji "Oh, I see..."

Oh no, I failed to make conversation.

Ayanokoji: "Do you think Ibuki can beat Ryuen?"

Ibuki: "Impossible. I think I could win against three of them, But I don't think my power will be enough to defeat Ryuen and Albert."

Ayanokoji: "Well, I better wake him up."

Ibuki: "Really? I won't help you if you get beaten by him."

Ayanokoji: "It'll be fine. Hey, wake up."

I lightly slapped ryuen on the cheek.

Ryuen: "Ugh... who the hell are you..."

He finally woke up.

Ayanokoji: "I'm Ayanokoji, from the same class.Now that Shiina's gone to buy bandages and antiseptic.Please stay in here quietly."

Ryuen: ".. what about those guys?"

Ayanokoji: "The three that were hit by you left while swearing. Followed by Albert and the rest of the class."

Ryuen: "Tsk, then we'll continue tomorrow."

Ayanokoji: "You've been beaten up pretty badly and you're still going to fight against him?"

Ryuen: "Yeah. No matter how many times I lose, I'm the one who wins in the end."

Oh! This guy is so cool!

Ayanokoji: "I see."

While I was talking to Ryuen, Shiina came back.

Shiina: "Oh, you're awake.Do not move as I disinfect you."

Ryuen: "I'll do it myself. Give it to me."

Shiina: "Oh, I see..."

What a waste.
To refuse hospitality from an angel (Shiina)...

Ryuen: "I'll pay for it next time."

Wiping off the blood.
After disinfecting, Ryuuen stood up and left the classroom.

Ibuki: "He doesn't seem to have learned his lesson yet..."

Shiina: "..."

Probably the same thing will happen tomorrow...
After arranging the desks in the classroom neatly, the three of us started to head home.

The next morning

While I was talking about books with Shiina in the classroom, Ryuen came to school.
Ishizaki, Komiya, Kondo, and the people around me were a little freaked out.

Ryuen: "Hey, you're Yamada Albert, right? Let's fight."

He came out of nowhere and said such a thing.
Alberto, who seemed to understand the language, followed behind Ryuen.

Ibuki: "They're fighting again?"

Ayanokoji: "Let's have a bet. Who do you think will win?"

Ibuki: "Alberto, no matter."

Ayanikoji: "Maybe he's planning to challenge until Alberto breaks?"

Shiina: "It's true that if Alberto-kun is on our side, no one will be able to rebel."

Ibuki: "...That's true."

I think it's about time.
I wondered if Alberto would break down soon.

After HR

Alberto came back alone.
His uniform was dirty.
Sure enough, it looks like they had a fight somewhere.

Ryuuen came back later.
He looks like a wreck. He must have lost to Alberto again.

Lunch break

Ryuen: "Alberto, let's fight."

Albert: "..."

Same scene as in the morning.

Albert returns first, and then Ryuen returns later.
If you lose three times, most people will give up.
But Ryuen's eyes were still blazing.
The fire seemed to be burning brightly.

After School

Ryuen "...Hey, follow me."

Albert "I get it."

The same scene as in the morning and afternoon.

Well, it's about time.
I secretly follow the two of them.

Where there are no security cameras.

The two were not as energetic as the first day, but they were still beating each other up.
A few moments later, Ryuen collapses.
Albert also sat down next to him, as if it was too hard for him to stand.

Ayanokoji: "Is it over?"

Ryuen: "It's you again..."

I talk to Albert.

Ayanokoji: "Can you understand Japanese ? If you have something to tell, I'll translate."

Albert: "I'll be under you. I recognise you as a class leader."

Ayanokoji: "I see. Ryuen, Albert will be under you. He recognize you as the leader of the class."

Ryuen: "You speak English...is that so?Then tell him this. He will be my right-hand man after GW is over."

After saying that, Ryuen left.

Ayanokoji "After Golden Week,he will have you work as his right arm, it seems."

Albert: "Really, thank you for the interpretation, I will go home too. See you."

Albert also left.

Now there's no one left to fight against...
The Ryuen administration...I'm looking forward to it.

After school

Ryuen: "I've finally managed to tame Albert.Now, choose.You can follow me or get beaten up and forced to obey.The three of you first. What do you think?"

Ryuen pointed at Ishizaki and the others.
Then, Ishizaki and the others come forward.

Ishizaki: "Well, from today, I look forward to working with you!"

Kondo and komiya: "I'm counting on you!"

Ryuen: "Well, thank you for your quick understanding.What about the rest of you?I'll deal with anyone who rebels.I'll give you a minute to come forward."

Class: "..."

Ryuen: "Looks like they're not here.So, I'm going to start attaching other classes tomorrow.Look forward to it."

On this day, Ryuen became the king of Class C...

To be continued...

Chapter 3 Inside and Outside

The day after Ryuen became the leader of the class

Ryuen said, "Well, we're going to make our move today. We're going to plant something on each of A, B, and D classes respectively."

Ishizaki: "What do you mean by 'set them up'?"

Ryuen: "Komiya and Kondo are on the basketball team, right?"

Komiya and Kondo: "Yes!

Ryuen: "There was a guy in class D who looked like a delinquent.I believe he was in the basketball club."

Komiya: "Sudo? The one with the red hair?"

Ryuen: "That's right. You interrupted him while he was practicing.You can do anything to irritate him.If he comes at you with a punch, you're in luck."

Komiya and Kondo: "I understand!"

Ryuen: "Ishizaki, take some of the guys from your class and start a dispute with B class.But don't mess with them. Interrupt them when they're studying for exams or follow them around and irritate them."

Ishizaki: "Okay! What are you going to do about A class?"

Ryuen: "I'll go to A class because I found the spark that will divide the class."

Ishizaki: "That's excellent."

Ryuen: "Even those who have not been given instructions. If you pick up any information that can be of any use, tell me.It doesn't matter if it's something trivial like who hates who.It might be useful too."

"Understood."

Ryuen gave the class these instructions and they began to move.

Ryuen's Perspective

Now, let's go to Class A.
Two factions are now forming in Class A.
The Sakayanagi faction and the Katsuragi faction.
The Katsuragi faction is led by Yahiko Totsuka.
I found a short-tempered idiot in the Katsuragi faction named Yahiko Totsuka who wants to mount the A class.
I'll use him to destroy the unity in class.

Classroom A

Ryuen: "Hello. I'm here to see the leader of this class, a person named Sakayanagi.Which one of you is Sakayanagi?"

Totsuka: "Who the hell are you!"

The target immediately bites.

Ryuen: "I'm the leader of Class C. I'm Ryuen. We leaders need to talk to each other."

Totsuka: "Heh, C class. You look stupid, don't you?and besides the leader of Class A is Katsuragi-san!. Do you get that!"

Ryuen (Thanks for doing what I wanted...You idiot...)

Some people's gazes intensified at Totsuka's statement.
Probably the guys from the Sakayanagi faction.
Apparently, Sakayanagi was not present.

Ryuen: "So? Isn't Sakayanagi here? I can't believe you.Tell Sakayanagi I'm coming.Leaders are supposed to get along."

I said this to Yahiko Totsuka to stir him up.

Totsuka: "You're really dumb!.I'm telling you, the leader is Katsuragi-san!"

Ryuen: "I've never even heard of that name.Give her a message from me then."

And with that, I left the classroom.

Totsuka: "Tsk. Who said anything about Sakayanagi being the leader!"

Katsuragi: "Stop it, Yahiko. It's unsightly."

As I was leaving, I heard Totsuka's voice blaming everyone around him, and Katsuragi's voice stopping him.

If a civil war breaks out, we'll make a fortune.
I can't wait to see what happens.

...By the way, why is that idiot in Class A?

Ayanokoji's point of view

Ryuen walked out of the classroom alone.
He was going to start acting immediately.
In April, Ryuen hasn't made any public moves.
It seems that he was gathering information under the radar.

Shiina: "He seemed to be quite knowledgeable about the other classes."

Ibuki: "He must have been doing something behind the scenes."

Ayanokoji: "Looks like it."

Ibuki: "I'm not sure if you'd call it cunning or anything...And those three...They've became his pets!"

Ibuki looks at Ishizaki and the others.

Shiina: "Hmmm. They're interesting people to watch."

Ibuki: "You're really strange..."

Shiina: "Is that so? Do you think so too, Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji: "No, well, I think Shiina is fine as the way she is."

Shiina: "Ehehe, is that so? Thank you very much."

There it is, the angel smile!
It seems that Shiina's smile has a healing effect.

Ibuki: "You spoil Shiina too much!"

Ibuki kicks me...

Ayanokoji: "Ouch... Anyway, do we need to do something?"

Ibuki: "There's no need to act out in the open. Why don't we just pick up some random information?"

Ayanokoji: "I guess so."

Shiina: "Ibuki-san, Ayanokoji-kun. Let's go to the library! "(Smiling)

Ibuki: "Anta... did you listen to what people say?"

Ayanokoji: "Ibuki... You can't resist Shiina's smile, can you?"

Ibuki: "Ugh... I get it!"

After that, the three of us went to the library as Shiina suggested and spent our time reading.

That night, after 23:00

Ayanokoji: "...I can't sleep."

I couldn't sleep at all, so I decided to leave the dormitory and go for a walk.

Ayanokoji: "It feels good..."

Unlike when the sun was out, there were no people in the street, and it was very quiet and relaxing.

As I was walking leisurely, I heard a sound nearby.

I was surprised.
Kikyo Kushida, the popular girl in D class, was kicking the fence repeatedly.

"Aaaaah, that's annoying."

I could hear her voice.

I remembered what Ryuen had said.

"If you pick up any information that could be of use, pass it along to me."

Information that could be used in some way, right?
I might be able to use this in some way.
That's what I thought, and I captured the scene on video.

Rustle!

A bird flew away from a nearby tree.
Kushida turned around, probably startled by the sound.

That's not good. I think I've been noticed...

Let's get out of here.
The moment I turned my back and started walking
I was called out.

"Hey!"

Ayanokoji: "...What is it?"

I was stopped by Kushida.

Kushida: "I think you're... Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji "Ah. It's been a while, Kushida."

Kushida: "Yes.Ayakoji-kun. There's something I want to ask you..."

Ayanokoji: "Did you hear something? You mean? Yes, I heard exactly what you said."

Kushida: "So... you heard..."

Ayanokoji: "Is there a problem?"

Kushida: "What you just heard... if you tell anyone, I won't show mercy."

Ayanokoji: "Why don't you tell them?"

Kushida: "Right here and now, I'm going to tell everyone that you almost raped me."

Ayanokoji: "What are you talking about? That's a false accusation."

Kushida: "Don't worry. It's not a false accusation."

Then Kushida grabbed my hand and brought it to her chest.
I can feel the soft touch through the palm of my hand.

Ayanokoji: "...What are you doing?"

Kushida: "Your fingerprints are all over this. I have proof. I'm serious, okay?"

You don't want people to know who you really are...

Ayanokoji: "I see..."

I took the opportunity and squeezed her breasts.

Kushida "Ahh. What are you doing?"

Kushida's face turned red as she pulled away from me.

Ayanokoji: "If it's to keep a secret.You're the kind of bitch who'd let a guy touch you breasts if it meant keeping a secret, right? So I was grateful for the squeeze..."

Kushida: "Who's a bitch!But I've got your fingerprints now."

Ayanokoji: "Are you threatening me?"

I spoke more forcefully and pressed Kushida.

Kushida: "Yes, you're right. If you betray me, I'll turn you in to the police!"

I showed Kushida the video I had taken with my cell phone.

Kushida: "Why? It's all on tape..."

The video shows Kushida kicking the fence while ranting and complaining about her classmates.

Then I switched the screen and played the voice I had recorded when Kushida approached me.

Ayanokoji: "You were popular not only with your own class, but also with the upperclassmen and students from other classes."

Kushida: "..."

Ayanokoji: "Do you think you're in a position to threaten me?"

Kushida: "That..what are you..."

Ayanokoji: "You can turn me in to the police. I will be expelled from school.In exchange, I'll spread this around.Your popularity will fall to the ground and you'll be treated like trash."

Kushida: "...Do it."

Ayanokoji: "What?"

Kushida: "Delete it."

Ayanokoji: "Right.If you come to my room now and wash those clothes in front of me, I will delete them."

Kushida: "...Okay."

And so my walk came to an end.

Ayanokoji's room

Ayanokoji: "Here, take off your clothes."

Kushida: "Wait, I'll be in my underwear!"

Ayanokoji: "You let me touch your breasts, but you don't want me to see your underwear.What happened to your sense of shame...?there."

I handed my shirt to Kushida.

Kushida: "This really sucks!"

Kushida starts to change her clothes in front of me.

Kushida: "You're such a pervert, aren't you? You rub my breasts and even watching me change clothes..."

Ayanokoji: "I think you're more perverted for letting me touch your breasts..."

Kushida: "Oh, that's annoying.Can't you at least offer me something to drink? You're not very popular, are you?"

Ayanokoji: "You're attitude is totally different from that time."

Kushida: "If it's you, I don't have to hide it anymore...Just cocoa!"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah,yeah..."

I make cocoa while we argue.
She sat down on the bed.

Kushida: "Look, I'm washing my clothes so can you delete them!"

Ayanokoji: "I will delete the audio one. The video will be deleted when you leave this room.You never know what you might do to me."

Kushida: "Right. I understand..."

Ayanokoji: "You're desperate.Why do you insist on being so popular?You're straining yourself."

Kushida: "..."

Ayanokoji: ".And you shouldn't relieve your stress outside. Like today, you never know who's watching."

Kushida: "Then where should I release my stress?"

Ayanokoji: "Can't you do it in your room?"

Kushida: "Because when I can't control it, I destroy the things around me."

Ayanokoji "Scary..."

Kushida "What? What did you say?"

Ayanokoji: "Well, then. Come to my room sometime.You don't have to hide anything from me, I'll listen to you."

Kushida: "Then I'll release my stress in this room from now on.I'll take it out on you!"

Ayanokoji: "Go easy on me..."

Kushida: "What? I wouldn't do that with you!"

Ayanokoji: "Huh. I think I'm better off now, don't you?"

Kushida: "What? Are you hitting on me?"

Ayanokoji: "You're always like...'Good morning, everyone!(wink)' You're always doing that, right?"

Kushida: "Don't copy me! Are you making fun of me?"

Ayanokoji: "But it's easier to talk normal now, isn't it?"

Kushida: "That's true, but..."

Ayanokoji: "Do you want to be popular even if you have to force yourself to keep pretending to be something you're not?"

Kushida: "Yes. Because it makes me feel better."

Ayanokoji: "I see... well, I don't really care.Don't show any more of your secrets openly."

Kushida: "I know without being told!"

Ayanokoji: "Yes,Why don't you go home soon?I'll lend you that shirt and give you the clothes you are washing tomorrow."

Kushida: "Okay..."

Entrance

Kushida: "Okay, then delete the video!."

Ayanokoji: "Here, I deleted, so check it out."

Kushida: "Hmm. Then... see you later, Ayanokoji-kun..."

Suddenly, she becomes the cute Kushida.

Ayanokoji: "It make me laugh when I see this cute side of yours."

Kushida: "Shut up. See you later!"

Kushida left.
I didn't know the popular person in D class had a secret like that...
She is quite an interesting person.

Now...

I re-saved the video and recording.
Kushida, who was known for her secretive and dishonest behaviour.
There's no guarantee that Kushida won't do something to me again.
I'll keep it as insurance.

It's around two in the morning. I should probably go to bed.

An intense day is over...

To be continued...

——————————————————————————-

Afterwords

In the original story, Class C and Kushida were also connected.

So I thought why not make kushida and Ayanokoji friends.

Thank you very much for reading.

So long!

Chapter 4 Brother and sister

Ayanokoji PoV

Mid-May

After morning HR

Ryuen: "Hey, I have some good news for you guys.I'm going to hand out some past papers from last year's midterm exam.I heard that the first quiz and the midterm test every year have the exact same questions.So take a look at this and make sure you get it perfect. Don't just remember the answer, remember how to solve it too.Good thing I have a back-up plan this time.Don't neglect your studies thinking you'll have it every time."

"Ohhhh!"

The students in the class, mostly those who were not good at studying, rejoiced.
Ryuen is a very unique person from the others.
He's an interesting student.
He also nails it down so that we don't get too spoiled by loopholes.
I think I'll be able to get through the midterm exams at the end of the month without any trouble.

Ryuen: "By the way, Ishizaki, Komiya and Kondo.What happened to B class and Sudo?.I haven't received any reports, what happened?"

Ishizaki: "I'm sorry. I tried to make things worse for Class B. But it seems that they were united earlier than we thought..."

Ryuen: "I see. So? What were Komiya and Kondo doing?"

Komiya: "He's very serious about practicing when he plays basketball.He's so focused on practicing that he doesn't seem to be paying attention to us..."

Ryuen: "Did you go hard on him?"

Kondo: "Yes, but he seems to think it's part of the practice..."

Ryuen: "Wow, that stupid looking monkey.Kuku. I didn't know you were so sincere about basketball.It's cool.I'll take my chances elsewhere this time."
Ryuen: "Well then.I'll have to punish you guys for not doing your job."

The three of them trembled.

Ryuen "Since it's the first time, I'll tolerate it.Choose.300Push-ups, sit-ups, squats or get punched in the stomach once by Albert."

Oh, you poor thing...
You're like some kind of demon instructor, Ryuen.
The three of them didn't want to get punched?
The three of them were doing push-ups, sit-ups, and squats.

Ibuki: "That's a relief, isn't it?"

Shiina: "Yes, it is.But past midterm exam questions... Ryuen-kun has a unique way of thinking.As a fellow classmate, I can count on him."

Ayanokoji: "Even so. I'm sure Shiina doesn't need it."

Shiina: "Hmm, that's true."

Ibuki: "You're very smart, aren't you?If there's anything I don't understand, I'll ask you."

Shiina: "Yes, I'll be happy to teach you."

Ibuki and Shiina are good friends.
It makes me happy to see it.

A few moments later, the class started.

After school

Shiina: "Ayanokoji-kun, Ibuki-san.Would you like to go eat a parfait?"

Ibuki: "Again, so sudden..."

Ayanokoji: "Parfait?"

Shiina: "Yes, when I passed by the store the other day.I thought I'd like to try it sometime."

Ibuki: "Why don't you just go alone?"

Shiina: "I think it would be more fun to go with a friend.Is that a bad idea..."

Ibuki: "Ugh..."

If Shiina looks up at you and asks you for a favor, neither Ibuki nor I can refuse.
No, I'd rather go with her!

Ayanokoji: "Let's go, Ibuki. We can't go against Shiina..."

Ibuki: "Okay, I get it."

Shiina: "I'm glad..."

Damn, she's too cute...
There's a dangerous tyrant in our class, but
I'll protect the angel (Shiina).
I swore in my heart.

In the Mall

We came to a parfait store in the Keyaki Mall.
It seems to be a popular spot for girls.
Not a single boy in sight.

I felt like I shouldn't be here...

I was shown to a table.

Shiina: "Which one would you two like?I'll have this strawberry parfait."

Ibuki: "I'll have the chocolate parfait."

Ayanokoji: "I'll have the green tea parfait."

We placed our orders, and after a while, they were prepared.

Shiina: "Then let's have it..."

Ayanokoji: "I guess so."

Shiina looks like she's having fun.
Ibuki also likes sweets?
Her expression was softer than usual.
I was also looking forward to my first parfait, but...

Ayanokoji "Hmm! It's good!

The sweetness of the cream and the bitterness of the green tea
It was a good match and very tasty.

Ibuki: "I've never seen your face like that before."

Shiina: "You look different. Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "It's the first time I've ever had a parfait."

Shiina: "Is that so? What did you think of your first parfait?"

Ayanokoji "Ah. It's great. Thank you for inviting me, Shiina."

Shiina: "Phew. I'm glad.

I was also glad to see Shiina looking so happy.
I didn't say it out loud, but...

We finished our parfait and while we were chatting, Then we were approached.

Karuizawa: "Oh, it's you, Ayanokoji-kun. Yoo-hoo!"

Hirata: "Hello, Ayanokoji-kun. It's been a while."

It was Hirata and Karuizawa. Looks like a date.

Ayanokoji: "Hirata and Karuizawa, it's been a while. Are you on a date?"

Karuizawa: "Yes! To eat parfait~!. Ayanokoji-kun, you have two cute girls with you on a date? Nice work!"

Karuizawa is teasing me.
Ibuki gives me a look that says, "Tell her it's not!"

Ayanokoji: "It's not a date. We were preparing for the upcoming exam."

I lied to her.

Karuizawa: "It's boring."

Hirata: "Haha. I'm sorry, Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "Don't worry about it."

Hirata: "Thank you.If you don't mind, I'd like to join you.I wanted to talk to someone from another class..."

Shiina: "Sure, come on, have a seat!"

Shiina led him to a seat.
Ibuki looked disgusted, but...
Hirata and Karuizawa took their seats.

Shiina: "Class D was a disaster...I can't believe you lost your points.Isn't it hard to make a living?"

Hirata: "Yes, it is. It's difficult...My attitude towards class and tardiness were terrible.I warned them once, but they didn't listen..."

Karuizawa: "We got 100,000 yen, and we got carried away."

Ibuki: "Was it that bad?We had it rough too, but zero is just..."

Karuizawa: "After Hirata's warning, the girls' behavior got better."

Hirata: "Some of the boys were out of control."

Like Ryuen said.
I guess Sudo is one of them.

Shiina: "Are you prepared for the midterm exams?"

Hirata: "Yes, we are. We've been holding study sessions, but..."

Karuizawa: "Those three don't listen to us!"

In other words.
There is no leader in D class who can control the class like Ryuen.
I'm sure Hirata and Karuizawa are doing their part as leaders, but
But they can't control everyone.
I can see that they are not strong enough as leaders.

Ayanokoji: "By the way, who are those three?"

Karuizawa: "Sudo, Ike, and Yamauchi, A.k.a three idiots."

Oh, yes, indeed.
You even said something like that when I was interacting with D class...

Ayanokoji: "Those guys are simps, right?"

Karuizawa: "Yeah. Ike and Yamauchi simp for Kushida-san."

Ayanokoji: "Then how about letting Kushida teach them how to study? If Kushida asks them out.I'm sure they would be happy to study.Well, that's assuming Kushida is willing to do it..."

Karuizawa: "That sounds great! Hey, Hirata-kun!"

Hirata: "Haha, I guess so.I'll ask Kushida-san to do it. Thank you, Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "No problem."

Ibuki: "Well then, I don't want to interfere with your date, It's time to go home, come on, you two!"

Ayanokoji: "Well, I guess..."

Shiina: "That's right.So, Hirata-kun, Karuizawa-san, goodbye!"

Hirata: "Yeah, goodbye. Thank you!"

Karuizawa: "Goodbye!"

Ibuki pulled me and Shiina out of the store.

Ayanokoji: "You are not in good terms with those two?"

Ibuki: "I was worried you would talk about the previous year papers.What are you doing by giving hints to the other classes?.I don't know if you'll get beaten up by Ryuen."

Ibuki seemed to be concerned.
I wasn't going to tell them about the past questions, but...

Ayanokoji: "Yes, I'll be careful."

Shiina: "Huh. You're so kind, Ibuki-san."

Ibuki: "I don't know why I'm doing this, but I'm leaving.."

Ibuki started walking fast.

I and Shiina chased after her.

That night

I was out of drinks.
So I decided to go to the vending machine near the dormitory to buy some.
I got off the elevator.
As I was heading for the vending machine
I heard a voice nearby.

The man said, "Suzune, I didn't expect you to follow me here."

She said, "I'm not the same person you knew before, brother.I've came to catch up with you."

Hmm?
The student council president...
As I recall, she is... Horikita Suzune?
Were these two brother and sister?
The mood is somehow tense.

President: "You're an inconsiderate sister."

Then he grabbed his sister's hand and pressed it hard against the wall.
What was that...
He was looking down at his sister with no expression.

President: "You are a fool.You have neither the strength nor the qualifications to aim higher."

With that, the student council president slammed his fist into his sister's abdomen.
His sister collapsed on the spot. She seems to have fainted.

President: "So? Who are you, watching from the shadows?"

I guess I've been found out...
I had no choice but to come out .

Ayanokoji: "The student council president is quite violent?"

President: "...Were you taking video?"

Ayanokoji "Well, I wonder..."

President: "You're just trying to keep a low profile..."

Suddenly a sharp kick flies at me.

Ayanokoji: "..!"

And then a kick aimed at a vital point flies at me.
If it had hit me, I would have been knocked unconscious.
He has no intention of stopping his attack.
He tried to throw me off.
He tried grab me and I flicked his hand away.

President: "Huh? That's a good move. Have you been taught?"

He stops attacking and starts talking to me.

Ayanokoji: "Well, I don't know.Maybe you're just not much of a fighter?"

President: "You tell me... how about a million?"

Ayanokoji: "...What?"

President: "If you delete the video, I'll pay you one million."

I'm suddenly approached with a proposal... a million yen...

Ayanokoji: "Well, I was just taking a video just in case..."

President: "I see. Give me the device."

Then he handed me a million pp.
I thought he might try to trick me when I handed it over.
But he didn't do anything.
I erased the video in front of the student council president.

President: "What's your name?"

Ayanokoji: "Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, first year, class C."

President: "Ayanokoji, huh? I'm looking forward to the future."

Ayanokoji: "Don't indulge yourself.More importantly, that person... is your sister, right?.Are you okay with leaving her there?"

President: "She is a foolish sister. Leave her alone."

After saying that, the student council president disappeared.
It was a pity to leave her there, so I carried her to a nearby bench.

Ayanokoji: "Hey..."

I shook her shoulder to wake her up.

Horikita: "What...? And... what is this place?"

Ayanokoji: "You were collapsed in that place.So I brought you here."

Horikita: "That's...thank you.May I ask your name?"

Ayanokoji: "I'm Ayanokoji from class C.I believe you're Horikita Suzune from D class, right?"

Horikita: "Yes."

Ayanokoji: "Are you and you brother not on good terms?"

Horikita: "...Have you been watching us?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah."

Horikita: "Yes. It's because of me...Because I'm a bad sister.But...I'll make it up to class A so that he will recognize me someday.I'll make it to class A."

Ayanokoji: "I see. It's a thorny path, you know?You have to start by organizing that class.You have to start by bringing that class together."

Horikita: "That's true.It will be very difficult, but I'll manage.I won't lose to you guys either!Well then, good-bye."

Ayanokoji: "Ah."

And Horikita went back to the dormitory.

The student council president's sister, right?
Her brother said that nothing has changed since three years ago.
He was probably disappointed with his sister who hasn't grown.
But what has not grown?
Probably not in the sense of academic ability, but in another sense.
Growth as a person?
I don't know what kind of person Suzune Horikita is.
I guess it's no use thinking about it...
However, when she overcome her flaws, she will surely grow into a student that Ryuen and the others cannot ignore.

How will Horikita grow?
I was somewhat looking forward to seeing how Horikita would develop...

I bought a drink and was about to go back to my room when
Kushida came down from the elevator.

Kushida: "I was going to your room now."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, your clothes. I totally forgot about it."

Kushida: "I need to talk to you for a while."

Ayanokoji: "I see."

As soon as I got to my room, Kushida came in without permission and lay down on my bed.

Kushida: "Cocoa!"

Ayanokoji: "Hey,out of the blue? Wait a minute."

Kushida: "Hmm..."

Ayanokoji: "Where were you going? Where you're going to kick the fence again?"

Kushida: "You weren't in your room, so I was going to go look for you!"

Ayanokoji: "Oh, sorry about that."

Kushida: "Let's exchange contact information. Wouldn't it bother you if I showed up suddenly?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah, I guess so."

I got Kushida's contact information.

Kushida: "By the way, where did you go just now?"

Ayanokoji: "A bit for a walk..."

Kushida: "What? You can't tell me?"

Ayanokoji: "You don't like Horikita, do you?"

Kushida: "I don't like her."

Ayanokoji: "I figured you wouldn't want to hear about that person."

Kushida: "You had a connection with Horikita..."

Ayanokoji: "It was only a short while ago that we came into contact."

Kushida: "So? What were you doing?"

Ayanokoji: "I saw her talking to her brother."

Kushida: "Her brother is Manabu, the student council president?"

Ayanokoji: "Do you know him?"

Kushida: "...Because we went to the same junior high school. So?"

Ayanokoji: "Her brother punched his sister in the stomach."

Kushida: "Oh, seriously? That's terrible."

Ayanokoji: "That's terrible?... you seem happy about that."

Kushida: "Well, I don't like her. So?"

Ayanokoji: "At first I thought it was a female student being attacked.I was recording the video to keep it as evidence.Well, it didn't turn out that way.When her brother noticed me and asked me to delete it, I refused.And when I refused, he attacked me."

Kushida: "Wow... he used to do aikido or something, were you okay?"

Ayanokoji: "Well, yeah. I dodged them."

Kushida: "Tsk. you should have been beaten..."

Ayanokoji: "Hey, I can hear you..."

Kushida: "I said it so you could hear me! So?"

Ayanokoji: "In exchange for deleting the video, I got 1 million pp. So after his brother left, I felt sorry for her to leave her there.So I took her to the bench and woke her up."

Kushida: "I see. So that's the connection.I'm jealous of you, like a million yen! Give me half of it!"

Ayanokoji: "I'll buy you a drink next time."

Kushida: "Wow, you're so stingy."

Ayanokoji: "Speaking of which, you guys didn't get your points transferred this month, did you?.How about I give you 20,000?"

Kushida: "What, are you sure?"

Ayanokoji: "In exchange, tell me what's going on in Class D."

Kushida: "The situation... well,that's okay."

I send 20,000 to Kushida.

Kushida: "Thank you.So, did you talk to Horikita about anything?"

Ayanokoji: ""I'm going to work hard to get my brother's approval".She said something like that."

Kushida: "what a Brocon. Gross."

Ayanokoji: "Then tell me about D class.Are you preparing for the test?"

Kushida: "Most of the girls, I think Hirata is watching them.Since Hirata is so popular.The girls have been attending study sessions just for Hirata."

Ayanokoji: "What about the boys?"

Kushida: "The three idiots, Sudo, Ike and Yamauchi, hated Hirata.They're dumb and don't participate in the study group.Hirata's been trying to get them to come, but they seem to be turning him down."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, if that's the case, today. I told Hirata and Karuizawa today how to solve the problem."

Kushida: "Like what?"

Ayanokoji: "I heard that Yamauchi and Ike were simping at you.I told them they should let Kushida teach them how to study."

Kushida: "What are you talking about? You're annoying!"

Ayanokoji: "You're happy to have them simping for you, aren't you?"

Kushida: "Of course not, it's disgusting!"

Ayanokoji: "I think Hirata and Karuizawa will ask you to do something tomorrow.Good luck!"

Kushida: "Worse."

Ayanokoji: "Or why don't you ask Horikita?.I'm sure she'll be working for the class tomorrow, right?"

Kushida: "I don't like that either!"

Ayanokoji: "Huh, Then, as a reward for Kushida.I'm going to prepare an event that will make your classmates like you more."

Kushida: "...What?"

I show Kushida previous year question.

Ayanokoji: "It seems that if you study this, you can get through the midterm."

Kushida: "What's that? Really?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah. I heard it from a senior student.If you hand out copies of this to your class the day before the exam. You'll be thanked and your popularity will increase."

Kushida: "Can't I hand them out tomorrow? Why the day before the exam?"

Ayanokoji: "You should make sure they get into the habit of studying hard.You can probably only use past exams until this one.Besides, if you hand them out now, there's a chance they'll be too relieved to do it tomorrow. If you hand them out the day before, they'll try their best to memorize them."

Kushida: "That's true. Who the hell are you?"

Ayanokoji: "I'm just an ordinary, dull high school student."

Kushida: "I guess we agree on dull..."

Ayanokoji: "Hey..."

After talking with Kushida for a while, it was past 11pm.

Kushida: "Well, I better get going!"

Ayanokoji: "Right..."

Kushida: "Hey, give me the spare key!"

Ayanokoji: "What? I don't want to..."

Kushida: "Then I'll make a duplicate key. See you later!"

With that, Kushida left.
A duplicate key...

Today, I learned a lot about D class.
Why did I do it in the first place?
I wonder why I'm even thinking about the other classes...

It's so... unlike me.

To be continued...

———————————————————————————————

Afterword

How was the chapter?

Ayanokoji is getting along with Kushida in this series.

Horikita wasn't interested in other people in the original story.

In this series, she accepts her own failings and tries to face others early on.

I hope you enjoy the rest of the series as well.

So long!

Chapter 5 Progress

June

Thanks to Ryuen's quick thinking, we in C class were able to get through the midterm exam without any trouble.

Ryuen: "Ishizaki, Komiya, Kondo!"

The three of them: "Yes!"

Ryuen: "I'm counting on you then. Do it well."

Ishizaki: "leave it to us!"

Ryuen seemed to have the three of them do something.

Ibuki: "They have become soldiers of Ryuen."

Shiina: "They are up to evil tricks again!"

Ayanokoji: "That's right. I guess they're planning to set-up one of the classes."

Ibuki: "They really never learn... they are going to have to fight their way through the exam sooner or later.

Shiina: "It's called being ahead of the game! Let's leave the class to them and head to the library."

Ibuki: "Huh. We've only been to the library lately..."

Ayanokoji: "But Ibuki's also into mystery novels lately, right?"

Ibuki: "Well, yeah. If I don't read them, I won't know what you guys are talking about."

Ibuki looks uncomfortable, but she always goes along with Shiina.

The way she talks is aggressive, but I guess she's really a kind-hearted person...

Ibuki: "What?"

Ayanokoji: "No... I just thought you were a kind-hearted person."

Ibuki: "...What's with you all of a sudden?"

Shiina: "Come on, let's go!"

As I was talking with Ibuki, Shiina interrupted me.

Ibuki: "Yes, yes..."

Shiina: "Ayanokoji-kun too!"

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

Ibuki and I were led by Shiina to the library.

Library

We arrived at the library and went to look for a book.
I have already read all the books Shiina had recommended.
Shiina and Ibuki were already reading the books.

Ayanokoji: "I'm sleepy..."

Last night, I fell asleep after 3:00 a.m. due to Kushida's stress relieving activities.

I try to wake up at 6:00 a.m. every day, which means I only slept for three hours.

I found a book that looked interesting, and battle sleep to read it, but I finally fell asleep...

Shiina's point of view

Two hours later

Shiina: "It's getting dark. Let's go home soon!"

Ibuki: "Yeah, time flies when you're reading a book."

Shiina: "That's right."

Ibuki: "By the way, where's Ayanokoji?"

Shiina: "Well, I can't find him."

Ibuki: "Maybe he's sleeping somewhere."

Shiina: "Shall we look for him?"

Ibuki: "I guess so."

We couldn't find Ayanokoji-kun, so we decided to search the library.

Ibuki: "There he is."

Ayanokoji-kun was there.
As Ibuki-san had predicted.
He seemed to be sleeping comfortably on the single-seater sofa.
I feel like playing a prank on him.

Shiina: "Would you like to play a little prank?"

Ibuki: "Prank?"

Shiina: "Yes, the rule is that the two of us take turns playing pranks and the one who wakes him up loses!"

Ibuki: "Rules...huh."

It seems that Ibuki-san is not in the mood.

Shiina: "Please!"

Ibuki: "Ugh... okay."

Both Ibuki-san and Ayanokoji-kun are really kind.
They always listen to what I ask of them.

Shiina: "Thank you... I'll go first then!"

I poked him on the cheek for starters, but he showed no signs of waking up.

Shiina: "Hmm. It was so soft and chewy "

Ibuki: "So... I'm next?"

tightly (squeezing)

Ibuki-san grabbed Ayanokoji-kun's nose.
He just looked a little uncomfortable, but didn't wake up.

Ibuki: "He is a pretty deep sleeper..."

Shiina: "It's my turn next "

Fuu~

I blew on Ayanokoji-kun's ear.
He reacted with a twitch, but showed no signs of waking up.
I wonder if he is quite tired...

Ibuki: "He hasn't woken up at all... I'm next."

Then, Ibuki pinched Ayanokoji's cheeks with both hands.

Ayanokoji "..."

Ibuki: "..."

Then suddenly, Ayanokoji's eyes opened.

Shiina: "Oh, good morning. Ayanokoji-kun "

Ayanokoji "Ah. Sorry, I must have slept. By the way, what is Ibuki doing...?"

Ibuki: "..."

Shiina: "I wanted to play a prank, so the two of us were playing a game."

Ayanokoji "I see. By the way, Ibuki, can you let me go now?"

Ibuki: "...are you already awake by any chance?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah. I've been awake since Shiina poked me on the cheek."

Shiina: "Really, you didn't even open your eyes, so how did you know it was me?"

Ayanokoji: "The first and third times were Shiina, and the second and last times were Ibuki, right?"

Shiina: "You're right! you are amazing, Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ibuki: "By the way, what made you think that?"

Ayanokoji: "Ibuki is quite violent... guffaw."

Ibuki: "You are so rude. Don't pretend to be asleep, just wake up!"

Ayanokoji: "Sorry about that. Shiina seemed to be enjoying herself, so I just..."

Shiina: "You were awake at our first conversation, didn't you?"

Ayanokoji: "You are correct. I'm sorry I had to trick you."

Shiina: "No, no, it was fun..."

Ibuki: "Huh... let's go home."

Shiina: "Yes!"

Ayanokoji: "Right."

It was another fun day.
I'm really glad I got to be friends with you two.

The three of us were on our way home...

July.

There was a trouble between Class C and Class D.

Apparently, Ishizaki, Komiya, and Kondo were unilaterally beaten up by Sudo of D class, but in fact it was a trap set up by Ryuen.

They called Sudo to a place where there were no surveillance cameras and fought with him, and the C class complained to the school.

The wounds inflicted by Sudo were not so severe, but Ishizaki and the others were beaten by Albert under Ryuen's orders, and it was obvious that Sudo has been made the bad guy.

When the first trial was held, it was expected to end with Sudo's guilt, but apparently there was a student who was taking pictures at that time, and when the evidence came out, a little postpone was given, and the trial was held again the next day.

The second trial was held, but for some reason Ishizaki and the others withdrew their complaint.

Because of this, they are now being judged by Ryuen in the classroom.

Ryuen: "Why did you drop the case without permission?"

Ishizaki: "The D class students threatened us with the security camera footage..."

Ryuen "I don't think there was a camera there..."

Komiya "But, there was definitely a security camera..."

Ryuuken: "Kuku. That's what you mean. Maybe they set up a fake surveillance camera."

Ishizaki "Eh...?"

Ryuen "And you fell for it."

Kondo: "Ugh...What!"

Ryuen: "Who was there?"

Ishizaki: "It was a woman named Horikita and Hirata..."

Ryuen: "Alberto, punish them. I'll go see them."

Albert: "Yes, boss."

Ryuen said he would see Horikita and Hirata, and left.

The three of them got one punch each from Albert.

Poor thing...

After a while, Ryuen came back, smiling weirdly as if he had found a toy to play.

We've got final exams coming up...

After school that day

Ayanokoji "...hmm?"

When I came back from school, I found my room opened for some reason.

"Ah, welcome back!"

Ayanokoji: "Kushida... did you make a duplicate key?"

Kushida: "Yes! I told them I was your girlfriend and they made one for me!"

Ayanokoji: "I see... so why are you cooking?"

Kushida: "Eh? I thought we'd have dinner together!"

Ayanokoji "It's not poisoned, is it...?"

Kushida: "Of course not!"

Ayanokoji: "Just kidding. You can cook, right?"

Kushida: "Yes! I did to learn cooking since I am popular."

Ayanokoji: "It must be tough being popular..."

Kushida: "Yes. You should work hard!"

Ayanokoji: "Good job, good job,Kikyo-chan."

Thud.

Ayanokoji: "Ugh..."

Kushida punched me in the stomach.

Kushida: "Don't treat me like a child."

Ayanokoji: "Sorry, sorry. Is there anything to help you with?"

Kushida: "Uh, just do the dishes."

Ayanokoji: "Understood."

Kushida begins to serve the food.
I carried the food to my room and sat down.

Kushida: "Shall we eat?"

Ayanokoji: "Yes, Itadakimasu."

Kushida: "Itadakimasu!"

The menu.
Fried rice, egg soup, and salad.

Ayanokoji "It's good. Thank you, Kushida."

Kushida: "Yeah."

Ayanokoji: "...stressed out again?"

Kushida: "...Yes. That's why I thought I'd come here and relieve some stress."

Ayanokoji: "You haven't destroyed anything here, have you?"

Kushida: "No, I just needed to relieve some stress..."

Ayanokoji "Hmm? By cooking?"

Kushida: "Yes, I like to cook."

Ayanokoji: "I see. Then please make it again sometime. It's really delicious."

Kushida: "You'll pay for my food, right?"

Ayanokoji "Thank you for the meal. It was delicious."

Kushida: "You just ignored me. Sit down while I go wash the dishes."

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

There was nothing in particular to do, so I turned on the TV and started watching the news.

Ayanokoji: "...hmm?"

When I sat down on the bed and put my hand on it, the futon was wet.

Ayanokoji: "Hey, Kushida."

Kushida: "What?"

Ayanokoji: "Did you finish washing the dishes?"

Kushida: "Yes."

Ayanokoji "Then come here."

Kushida: "What's wrong?"

Ayanokoji "You... what were you doing on my bed?"

Kushida: "...Eh?"

She shows a slight but agitated look.

Ayanokoji: "It's wet here..."

Kushida: "..."

Ayanokoji: "You said you relieved some stress earlier?"

Kushida: "..."

I flipped up Kushida's skirt.

Kushida: "What are you doing⁉︎"

Ayanokoji "You..."

Her underwear was wet.

Kushida: "..."

Ayanokoji: "You were doing it alone here, weren't you?"

Kushida, "...Yeah."

Ayanokoji: "I see... you were thinking about me?"

Kushida: "I'm sorry? You're the first person who's ever rubbed me."

Ayanokoji: "You were thinking about that time?"

Kushida "Ah..."

Ayanokoji: "I see..."

Kushida: "Aren't you doing that too, imagining that time?"

Ayanokoji: "Sorry, but I've never had..."

Kushida: "Ugh..."

Ayanokoji: "Do you do that often?"

Kushida: "...What?"

Ayanokoji: "Is that how you relieve stress?"

Kushida: "...well, yeah."

Ayanokoji: "Are you so stressed out that you do it in someone's room?"

Kushida: "Ugh, you're so annoying!"

Ayanokoji: "Well, I'm old enough to know better..."

Kushida: "You've never done anything like that?"

Ayanokoji: "I'm interested, but no."

Kushida: "... isn't that abnormal?"

Ayanokoji: "I don't want to hear it from someone who's done it on someone's bed..."

Kushida: "It can't be helped, since it's been building up!"

Ayanokoji "Then shall I help you?"

Kushida: "...What?"

Ayakoji: "I'll take care of it. If it reduces your stress, it's one way to go."

Kushida: "...You want to do it with me?"

Ayanokoji: "I'm interested in the act itself, but I don't want to do it with you."

Kushida: "Well..."

Ayanokoji: "You can decide. I'm just offering you an idea."

Kushida: "Well..."

Ayanokoji "Hmm?"

Kushida: "Deal with me..."

Ayanokoji: "...Are you sure?"

Kushida: "I mean, I was horny earlier..."

Kushida comes closer.

Ayanokoji "Hey... we haven't finished talking yet."

Kushida: "Do you still have something to talk.?"

Ayanokoji "Let me see what you have."

Kushida, "...What?"

Ayanokoji: "I don't want to end up being attacked after we do it."

Kushida: "...There's nothing in there!"

Kushida showed me the contents of her bag and her cell phone.

Ayanokoji: "I see."

Kushida: "Hey, that's enough, right?"

Ayanokoji "..."

Kushida pushed me down.

And we were ...

Bath

After the event, we were soaking in the bathtub.

Kushida: "...it's too big!"

Ayanokoji: "You looked like you were in pain at first..."

Kushida: "I've seen it on video's... but it's crazy."

Ayanokoji "Is that so..."

Kushida: "It was my first time, so I really thought I was going to die..."

Ayanokoji: "Sorry, I thought you had already experienced it."

Kushida: "I never have!"

Ayanokoji: "Are you sure you're okay with this? If it's your first time, you'd probably cherish for someone special..."

Kushida: "I have no intention of getting a boyfriend."

Ayanokoji: "Because you'll lose popularity with men..."

Kushida: "Yes. It's hard to get close to a woman who has a boyfriend, right?"

Ayanokoji: "Is that how it is..."

Kushida: "That's the way it is."

Ayanokoji: "Are you sure that you want to be popular that way?"

Kushida: "Everyone wants to be the best at something, right?"

Ayanokoji "Maybe so."

Kushida: "The moment when you feel your own unique value that others don't have. The moment when you are noticed and praised by everyone. I love that so much. I could never be the best in my studies or in sports. But I realized that I could be the best in my field by being kinder and friendlier than anyone else."

Ayanokoji: "..."

Kushida: "I learned the pleasure of being popular, of being liked by everyone, of being relied on."

Ayanokoji: "So you've been holding back so much that you're about to explode with stress."

Kushida: "Yes. There were times when I plucked my hair and threw up..."

Ayanokoji: "How was it? How did you feel?"

Kushida: "It was painful at first, but it made me feel better..."

Ayanokoji: "Was it a good stress reliever?"

Kushida: "Yes... I think I was able to forget all my problems while I was doing it."

Ayanokoji: "You should come back. I'll be your partner since I'll never have a girlfriend."

Kushida: "You just want to do it!"

Ayanokoji: "Well, it was my first time too, but it was good."

Kushida: "I think I'll come here every day from now on."

Ayanokoji: "Hey, ..."

Kushida: "Thank you. I couldn't talk to anyone before. And since I started talking to Kiyotaka, I haven't thrown up anymore."

Ayanokoji: "I see. Don't call me that name in front of everyone, okay? The boys will kill me."

Kushida: "What will happen if they find out that I had sex with you?"

Ayanokoji: "You could be a constant target at school..."

Kushida: "Hmm. Well then, let's do it one more time before I go home."

Ayanokoji: "I guess so."

. . .

Midnight

Kushida: "That felt good. See you later, Kiyotaka "

Ayanokoji "Hey..."

Kushida: "Phew. Good night."

Ayanokoji "Good night."

Kushida left.

Today, I had a relationship with Kushida.

It's not that we are dating.

If someone who doesn't know anything hears it, she'll be criticized.

But she's the kind of person who would comfort herself in someone else's room.

And things are going to continue from now on...

And I am comfortable with that.

That's why I suggested it.

Well, after a few times, for some reason I really gotten into it..

You know what they say about the three major needs.

Even a masterpiece like me got excited...

I'll leave it at that.

I'll say it again, Kushida and I are not dating.

To be continued...

—————————————————————————-

Afterword

I thought to come up with a story to connect to the deserted island...

In the end I couldn't... lol

Let's say half of the chapter is a short story.

I'm not sure if this is R-rated or not.

Thank you for reading!

So long!

Chapter 6 Deserted Island Test

I said it in the fourth chapter and I will say it again.

Horikita wasn't interested in other people in the original story.

In this series, she accepts her own failings and tries to face others early on.

—————————————————————

First Day of Summer Vacation

3:00 AM

Kushida: "We're going on vacation today~"

Ayanokoji: "Yes, we are."

Naked Kikyo is lying down next to me.

It's what we call pillow talk.

Ever since I had sex with Kikyo, she has been visiting my room almost every day like this.

Kushida: "We can't do that on a ship can we..."

Ayanokoji: "Nah, it seems we are sharing a room with our classmates."

Kushida "Can't we do this on the deserted island?"

Ayanokoji "Oh come on..."

Kushida: "it's going to be fresh,nice and open?"

Ayanokoji "Yes, but... you have to hold it for two weeks."

Kushida: "Huh. I'll probably get stressed out again..."

In order to maintain her popularity, she is straining herself to be everyone's idol, Kikyo-chan.

As I became more and more involved with her, I found out that satisfying her sexual desires is one of the ways she relieves stress.

It seems that she's so stressed out that she goes into my room without permission and comfort herself.

Once I took care of her, she fell completely in love with me.

Ayanokoji: "You can at least listen to me. If you don't want to end up like you did before, don't go outside to vent your frustration, okay?"

Kushida: "I know. I'm not that dumb."

Ayanokoji: "I hope so."

Kushida: "Let's take a bath."

Ayanokoji: "Right"

Bathroom

Kushida: "Hey. Why do people tell other people their secrets?"

That came out of nowhere...

Ayanokoji: "Well, If you never had the chance to hear someone's secrets, so how would you know what that person is going through?"

Kushida: "If it's someone else's secret, I can understand why they would talk about it. But there are girls who go out of their way to tell me their own secrets. I just don't understand it..."

Ayanokoji: "It's a sign of trust, isn't it? they want you to know them better. Right?"

Kushida: "I guess so."

Ayanokoji: "Isn't the answer to why Kikyo told me about the incident in your past?"

After I and Kikyo have gotten to know each other deeply, she told me everything about her past.

Kushida: "...Maybe I've somehow figured out how those people who tell me their secrets feel."

Ayanokoji: "That means you trust me, right?"

I hug her lightly from behind.

Kushida: "Ugh, you're so annoying/"

Ayanokoji: "Your face is red. You're so cute."

I kiss Kikyo on the cheek.

Kushida: "Oh my god/."

Kikyo moved away from me and we faced each other.

Kushida: "Kiyotaka, I hope you won't abandon me, because I've found that just having one person who understands you is enough to save you..."

Ayanokoji: "Don't worry, I'll be there for you even if you're in a situation like the one in junior high school."

Kushida: "Thank you/."

Kikyo hugged me.

The power of words is amazing.

Even if you don't feel that way at all in your heart, if you say something nice to someone, they'll like you back.

If you say "I love you" to someone who likes you, they will fall in love with you.

On the other hand, if you say something horrible to them, they will be easily hurt.

I once heard a saying on TV or something.

"Words are blades."

...That's right.

You can destroy someone with just one word.

Kushida: "Kiyotaka?"

Kikyo looked at me strangely, probably because she was thinking of something strange.

Ayanokoji: "Shall we have another round?"

Kushida: "Yes "

Kushida Kikyo.

A girl with a powerful weapon.

I found Kikyo to be very attractive.

A few hours later

On board

Ishizaki: "Hey, are you okay, Ayanokoji?"

Komiya: "We're on vacation, remember?"

Kondo: "Lack of sleep?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah. I haven't slept at all..."

I couldn't sleep at all after taking to Kikyo...

Ishizaki: "Really? Then I'll wake you up when we get to the deserted island. You should rest until then!"

Komiya: "What a waste!"

Kondo: "I'll see you later then!"

Ayanokoji "Ah. I'm sorry."

Ishizaki and the others had invited me to look around the ship, but I decided to sleep until we reach the deserted island.

. . . .

"...Hey. Wake up, Ayanokoji. We arrived at our destination.!"

Ayanokoji: "Huh? Is that Ishizaki..."

Ishizaki: "Haha. You slept well. Let's go!"

It looks like we're here.

We dressed up and landed on a deserted island.

Shiina: "Ayanokoji-kun, are you not feeling well?"

Shiina calls out to me.

Ayanokoji: "I couldn't get to sleep last night. So I slept on the ship."

Shiina: "So,that's the reason we couldn't find you. I was worried that you might have fallen ill."

Oh...here's an angel.

Ayanokoji: "Thank you. I slept and recovered, so I'm fine now."

Shiina: "I'm glad to hear that. Let's have some fun..."

She is a walking healing spot...

A few moments later, the roll call began and my student ID card was collected, and I was given a watch instead. I was told that if I took it off without permission, I would be penalized.

After the roll call, Mashima sensei, the homeroom teacher of Class A, stood in front of us and announced the start of the special exam.

Many of the students were confused by the suddenness of the announcement, but he didn't care and explained the content of the exam.

The brief explanation was as follows.

- You will live on a deserted island for one week.

- At the beginning, each class is given 300 S-points.

- You can use your points to buy what you need from the manual.

- After the exam, the remaining points will be added to your CP.

- There will be a negative assessment for retiring or violent behavior.

- One leader is elected.

- There are additional rules, and points are awarded for occupying a spot or finding a leader of another class.

Here's how it works.

We were divided into our respective classes, and after a detailed explanation from the homeroom teacher, the exam began.

Ishizaki: "What should we do, Ryuen-san?"

The soldiers immediately went to Ryuen.

Ryuen: "Kuku. I'm not going to be serious this time. Let's enjoy our vacation, shall we?"

Kaneda: "But that won't stop them from widening the gap to Class A!"

Ryuen: "You guys don't have the right of refusal. In the meantime, we'll make a base in the area where we can swim. Let's move."

Ishizaki: "Yes!"

A few of them looked unhappy, but none of them could strongly object, perhaps because they were afraid of punishment.

We started moving.

Shiina: "Does having fun mean we won't overdo it?"

Ibuki: "I guess so. Doesn't it mean using our points the way we want?"

Ayanokoji: "Because if your push yourself too hard, you might get sick."

Ibuki: "But it's our first test. We will miss one chance to catch up with the top."

Ryuen: "Kuku. You look unhappy, Ibuki."

As I was walking and talking with the two, Ryuen came over.

Ibuki: "If you want to decrease the gap between C and A ,shouldn't you take this chance? There are a lot of people who can move in our class."

Ryuen "Sure thing. You can move a lot too, right?"

Ibuki: "...well, to a point."

Boom!

Suddenly, Ryuen hits Ibuki.

Ibuki: "What are you doing?

Ibuki avoids it by a hair's inch.

Ryuen: "Kuku. I like you. I'll get you a job later."

After saying that, Ryuen disappeared into the front.

Shiina: "Hmm. He has taken a liking to you, Ibuki-san."

Ibuki: "What is that guy? He's the worst..."

Ibuki made a vomiting imitation, looking truly disgusted.

Ayanokoji: "I wonder what work it is."

Ibuki: "Come on. It's useless to think about it."

Ayanokoji: "I guess so."

After walking for a while, we came to an open beach.

Shiina "I think we can swim here "

Ryuen: "We'll use this as our base. I'll be out for a bit, so you guys can explore or play as you like."

Ishizaki: "Okay, let's swim!"

Komiya: "Yes, let's go!"

Class C's base was decided, and Ishizaki and the others changed into swimming costumes and began to play.

Shiina: "Ibuki-san, Ayanokoji-kun, why don't we explore the area a bit?"

Ibuki: "Sure."

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

I was a little curious about where Ryuen was going, but I decided to go exploring.

. .
.

Shiina: "The fruits are growing over there!"

Ibuki: "true!"

Shiina: "Let's go back after we've secured some food!"

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

Ibuki: "Oh, the vegetables are growing too. Lucky!"

Shiina: "Hmm. Let's have fun!"

Both of them seemed to be having fun.

It's my first time on a deserted island, so I am excited.

After that, we secured some food and returned to the base.

As we returned to the base and took a break, Ryuen came back.

Ryuen called the assembly.

Ryuen"I made a contract with Class A for this exam. You will be retired tomorrow."

Kaneda: "Wait, what do you mean?"

Ryuen: "In exchange for giving away 200 S points worth of supplies to Class A, we will receive 800,000 PP per month from Class A. Here's the contract."

The people around me were excited as we were told the details of the contract.

Ryuen: "let's have a magnificent time with the remaining 100 S-points. You can play as you like until tomorrow."

Ibuki: "Could it be... you're trying to reduce our points to zero?"

Ryuen: "Yeah. When that happens, no matter how many times you guys retire, no points will be deducted, right?"

Kaneda: "You're throwing away the test..."

Ryuen "Kuku. You're too naive, Kaneda. I'm staying, okay?"

Kanada: "Why?"

Ibuki: "Could it be... you're trying to win with extra rules?"

Ryuen "Kuku. That's right. I'm going to guess the leaders of all classes."

Kaneda: "Guessing the leader by yourself... that's impossible!"

Ryuen "Calm down and just hear me out."

Kaneda: "I'm sorry..."

Ryuen: "I'm going to have you infiltrate B class and Ibuki will infiltrate D class."

Kaneda: "...so I can be a spy and find the leader?"

Ibuki: "But they would be wary of students from other classes!"

Ryuen: "Well, I'll tell you the details later. For now, the rest of you don't have to participate in this test. Leave it to us three."

Ishizaki and his friends were looking at Ryuen with envy.

Hey, did they fall in love with this guy...?

Ryuen: "Here's the manual, You can buy BBQ equipment, water bikes, etc. and have fun."

Then he threw it to his classmates and left with Kaneda and Ibuki.

Ishizaki: "Let's buy these!"

Manabe: "Let us choose one too!"

Ishizaki: "Okay!"

They looked at the manual and bought playthings one after another.

Shiina: "Ibuki-san, will she be all right?"

Ayanokoji "It's too bad."

Shiina: "Let's play with her after the exam. "

Ayanokoji: "Shiina is so kind."

Shiina "Thank you very much. Please play with me when we get back on board, okay?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah. Of course."

We decided to join the BBQ and have some fun.

Ryuen PoV

Ryuen: "Well..."

Slap, slap, slap.

Kaneda "Ouch..."

Ibuki: "⁉︎ What are you doing?

I punched them both in the face. To make it look real.

If you have a bruise, they'll feel sorry for you...

Ryuen: "kuku. I'm sorry for hitting you. Pretend that you were beaten and kicked out of class for disobeying my policy. I'm sure those good natured will help you out."

Ibuki: "Tsk."

Kaneda: "I understand..."

Ryuen: "When you find out who the leader is, contact me by walkie-talkie. I've also prepared a digital camera for you. I'm sure Katsuragi won't believe me unless I have proof."

Ibuki: "I get it."

Ryuen: "Once you know the leader, you guys can retire. I'll take care of the rest."

Kaneda: "Is Ryuen-san going to be okay...?"

Ryuen: "Don't worry. I'm not going to die. Now, I'm counting on you."

After Ibuki and Kaneda left, I received a word that they were able to get in successfully.

I've been in touch with some people who don't like Katsuragi, so I'm definitely going to win this test.

Or...

I can't lose.

The only person who could be my opponent is Sakayanagi.

Ichinose, Katsuragi, and the rest of the D class are nothing but insignificant opponents.

Day 2, evening

Ishizaki: "Are you sure you're okay on your own?"

Ryuen "Ah?"

Ishizaki "No, no! Please do your best!"

Ryuen "Hurry up and go!"

After being seen off by Ryuen, the 37 of us retired and returned to the ship.

. . .

Shiina: "Ayanokoji-kun! Would you like to go to a restaurant?"

When I returned to the ship, I received an invitation from Shiina for dinner.

I wonder who would refuse an invitation from such a cute girl...

Ayanokoji: "Let's go!

Shiina: "Yehh!"

We entered a restaurant and filled our stomachs.

All the facilities are free to use, so you don't have to pay any points.

Shiina: "Hmm. It's delicious!"

Shiina is eating deliciously. Cute...

Ayanikoji "Ah. It's good..."

Shiina: "I can't believe they're all free!"

Ayanokoji: "Indeed..."

How much would it cost to actually pay for it...

Shiina: "I feel like I'm doing something wrong when those three in the class are working so hard..."

Ayanokoji: "Well, this is part of the strategy, so it's not a problem. It's nothing to be concerned about."

Shiina: "That's right. Let's come back later with Ibuki-san too "

Ayanokoji: "Yep."

We left the restaurant after enjoying the food that we usually can't eat.

Shiina: "Huh, that was delicious."

Ayanokoji: "You ate well."

Shiina: "I haven't eaten this much in a long time."

Ayanokoji: "Shall we go to the deck?

Shiina: "Yes."

We went out on the deck to enjoy the breeze.

Ishizaki: "Ah, it's Ayanokoji and Shiina!"

We ran into Ishizaki, Komiya and Kondo.

The three of them are really close...

Shiina: "Good evening, Ishizaki-kun."

Ishizaki: "We're going to a casino now, do you want to go with us?

Shiina: "Are students allowed in there?"

Ishizaki: "It's a social study. There's a limit, but I heard you can earn up to 500,000 PP!"

Ayanokoji "Who told you that?"

Ishizaki: "I heard that Ryuen-san asked Sakagami sensei about it."

Ryuen...

Kondo "What do you think, you two want to go too?"

Shiina: "Sounds interesting, let's go. Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

We decided to head to the casino.

Maybe I'll play poker and make some money...

. .

Casino

Ishizaki and his friends arrived at the casino and started playing different games.

Shiina: "What would you like to do, Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji: "Well, I'm confident in poker, so I think I'll give it a try."

Shiina: "Then I'll watch..."

Shiina doesn't seem to be playing.

Let's get started...

. .

I earned the maximum of 500,000 PP and finished the game.

Shiina: "That's great, Ayanokoji-kun "

Ayanokoji: "That's too much work..."

Shiina: "You're getting rich!"

Ayanokoji: "Let's take Ibuki somewhere next time."

Shiina: "That's a good idea..."

Ayanokoji: "What happened to Ishizaki and the others?"

Shiina: "I don't know if they spent all PP, but all three of them left early."

Ayanokoji: "Seriously..."

They didn't lose all of their points, did they?

The summer vacation just started and it will be pretty rough.

Shiina: "We should probably go back to our rooms too!"

Ayanokoji: "Right."

It was getting late, so we decided to go back to our room.

Last day of the exam

After the exam was over, everyone was gathered on the beach and the results were announced on the monitor.

1st Class C: 176 points

2nd Class A: 170 points

3rd Class B: 150 points

4th Class D: 105 points

In the end, Ryuen won

Ishizaki: "Whoa! That's Ryuen-san!"

Komiya: "Whoa! You are amazing Ryuen-san!"

Kondo: "He's so cool!

They seems to have fallen more and more in love with Ryuen.
He signed a contract with Class A that lasts until graduation, and this is the result. It's a win-win situation without question.

For a while, our room was in a festive mood.

———————————————————————————

Afterword

I'm sorry if my writing is a bit strange.

I tried to express the darkness of Ayanokoji a little.

"Words are blades."

I also added a casino section that looks like it could be found on a luxury cruise ship.

The exam is Ryuen's sole domain.

This is the world line that Ryuen envisioned in the anime Horikita wasn't in bad shape.

Horikita witnessed the exchange between Katsuragi and Totsuke.

Horikita is not retired because she is not sick.

Ibuki was able to take a picture of her.

Please let me know if there is anything wrong. I'll edit it!

I think this will be the next zodiac test.

Thank you very much for reading.

So long!

————————————————————————————

Chapter 7 Onboard Examination Part 1

Three days after the desert island test, we were notified of a new special test.

We were divided into twelve groups based on the signs of the Chinese zodiac, and the exam was to be held within each group.

My group was called "Rabbit".

Class A: Takemoto, Machida, Morishige
Class B: Ichinose, Hamaguchi, Beppu
Class C: Ayanokoji, Ibuki, Manabe, Yabu
Class D: Karuizawa, Sotomura, Yukimura

These are the members of the rabbit Group.

There is one "VIP candidate" in this group, and what to do with him/her is the key to the test.

There are four possible outcomes in this time.

OUTCOME #1: If the answer submitted by the group after 9:30 p.m. on the final day is correct, then everyone in the group will receive private points, including those of the VIP's classmates who belong to the group.

OUTCOME #2: If a group fails to submit an answer between 9:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. on the final day, or if someone from the group other than the VIP and their classmates submits an incorrect answer, then the VIP will be awarded 500,000 private points.

OUTCOME #3: This outcome is triggered when someone other than the VIP gives the correct answer to the school without waiting until 9:30 p.m. on the final day of the exam. That student's class will gain fifty class points, and the person who submitted the correct answer will earn 500,000 private points. Also, the VIP's class will lose fifty class points as a penalty. At that point, the group's testing period will come to an end. However, if one of the VIP's classmates is the person who submits the correct answer, this answer will not be counted and the test will continue.

OUTCOME #4: This outcome is triggered when someone other than the VIP gives an incorrect answer without waiting until 9:30 p.m. on the final day of the exam. That student's class will lose fifty class points. The VIP will earn 500,000 private points, and the VIP's class will earn fifty class points. The testing period will end for the group that submitted the incorrect answer. However, if one of the VIP's classmates is the person who submits the incorrect answer, this answer will not be counted and the test will continue.

I heard that we have to meet in a designated room at 1:00 PM and 8:00 PM and stay in that room for an hour.

I guess the school took this into consideration so that we could have a discussion.

There were also some other prohibitions clearly stated.

I guess that's about it.

After the explanation, we left the room.

Ibuki: "I am with Ayanokoji. It's a good thing that someone I knew is in the same group."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, by the way, thank you for your hard work on the desert island test."

Ibuki: "I'm really tired..."

Ayanokoji: "What was class D like?"

Ibuki: "Horikita and Hirata tried to organize the class well, but... I guess we often clashed with each other, especially the girls and the ones called the three idiots. Sudo and Horikita kept me on my toes."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, I see... I got some extra income the other day, so I'll buy you something."

Ibuki: "Really? What have you been up to?"

Ayanokoji: "I was increasing my points at the casino."

Ibuki: "What? I was working so hard in the heat. You will take me out next time!"

Ayanokoji: "That's right. I'll take you out next time to relieve your sorrows."

Ibuki: "...thanks. I'm going back to my room then."

Ayanokoji: "Ah. See you later."

Well, I should go back to my room to rest...

The next day

〜I got an email from school.

It seems that I wasn't selected as VIP.

〜

This time it was from Kikyo.

Kushida: 'Can we meet at a café? There's a private room, I'd like you to come there ".

What is it, about the exam...?

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

I replied first and headed to the cafe.

. .

Cafe

Ayanokoji: "Sorry to keep you waiting. What's going on?"

Kushida: "I didn't know Kiyotaka and the others had retired. I was going to go see you, but..."

Ayanokoji: "That's what I've been told to do. I don't have a choice."

Kushida: "Well, I'm not mad, but..."

Ayanokoji: "You were very excited. What's wrong?"

Kushida: "I haven't seen you in a while..."

Ayanokoji: "You are the VIP, aren't you?"

Kushida: "Hmm. I knew you were sharp. Yeah, I've been selected as a VIP candidate."

Ayanokoji: "Shall I report it to Ryuen?"

Kushida: "Hey, hey! Please quit!"

Ayanokoji: "I'm just kidding. Have you figured out who else is on the traitor list?"

Kushida: "I just saw a report in the group chat that Minami-kun from D class was the VIP candidate. He's an idiot..."

Ayanokoji: "Are you sure you want to talk to me about this?"

Kushida: "I was hoping that Kiyotaka would come up with a plan."

Ayanokoji: "You want a million?"

Kushida: "Yeah, I'm in D class, so it's pretty tight..."

Ayanokoji: "I believe you were in a group with Ryuen and Katsuragi, right?"

Kushida: "Yeah..."

I think the school probably gathered them on purpose.

I'm sure Kikyo would be very annoyed.

Ayanokoji: "Shall I lend you 100,000?"

Kushida: "Did you make another profit?"

Ayanokoji: "You know the casino, right? I made half a million PP the other day."

Kushida: "That's nice..."

Ayanokoji: "Well, I'll let you know when I think of something. Don't get your hopes up too high."

Kushida: "Got it. Hey, hey, look!"

She stuck out her lips and poked them with her fingers.

Ayanokoji: "What is it?"

Kushida: "Mmm!

I'll be a little mean to you.

Ayanokoji: "I won't understand unless you put it into words."

Kushida: "Mmm!"

Ayanokoji: "Even if you play the flirty character so well, but I still know your true nature."

Kushida: "Ugh..."

Kiss...

Ayanokoji: "Here, I'm going to go now."

Kushida: "Hehe. See ya/."

I left the cafe, leaving the grinning Kikyo behind.

She's getting spoiled lately...

It was almost time for the first meeting, so I decided to head to the designated place.

"Oh, it's Ayanokoji-kun!"

As I was heading to the designated place, I was approached by someone.

It was Kei Karuizawa from D class.

Ayanokoji: "Karuizawa, huh? It's good to see you in the same group.."

Karuizawa: "Nice to meet you too! Let's go together!"

Ayanokoji: "Right."

Karuizawa: "I'm glad I know someone..."

Ayanokoji: "Don't you get along with Sotomura and Yukimura?"

Karuizawa: "Eh? Isn't that out of the question? They're like the worst."

Ayanokoji: "You don't like them?"

Karuizawa: "Yes, one of them is a otaku and I don't like the way he speaks, and the other one look down on me every time just because he's smart!."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, I see..."

Karuizawa started complaining about them.

I feel sorry for the two of them...

Karuizawa: "Oh, that's not important, we have a bit of a connection, don't we!"

Oh, that's a sudden change of subject.

Ayanokoji: "Well, if you ask me... you're right."

Interactions with D class when I first entered the school.

Besides, we met when we went out for parfait.

Karuizawa: "Let's exchange contact information! It's a strange connection..."

And then she pulls out her device.

〜

Karuizawa: "Ah..."

What a timing...

As soon as she held out her cell phone, She received a chat from Hirata.

Hirata: 'So Karuizawa-san is the VIP. Let's plan a strategy after we finish our first discussion!

Yeah.

I could see the important details perfectly.

The awkward air flowed...

Karuizawa: "You saw it... didn't I?"

Ayanokoji "Yeah. Sorry."

Karuizawa: "Oh, no! Hirata has a bad timing too! that Idiot!"

Karuizawa got angry.

Ayanokoji "I'm not going to report, so don't worry about it."

Karuizawa: "Doubt it! That's an absolute lie!"

Ayanokoji: "Calm down. The people around us might hear us."

Karuizawa: "Haha...watch out. I mean, it's already a dead end of me!"

Karuizawa is getting nervous.

Ayanokoji: "You're a funny person, Karuizawa."

Karuizawa: "Don't be ridiculous!

Her face turned bright red.

I thought she was the queen type and hard to talk to, but I guess I was wrong.

Ayanokoji: "Anyway, we're going to be late, so let's hurry."

Karuizawa: "Uh-huh. I understand."

We ended the conversation and hurried to the meeting place.

A room

Ichinose "Oh, here they come!"

Ayanokoji: "Sorry. I'm late."

Karuizawa: "I'm sorry, Ichinose!"

Ichinose "No, don't worry about it!. Now that everyone is here, let's start introducing ourselves!

It looks like Ichinose is going to take the lead.

The tense atmosphere eased up a bit.

After the self-introductions, we moved on to the next topic.

We started discussing the policy of this group.

Ichinose and the rest of B class insisted on seeking the first result.

Everyone started to agree with them, but Machida from class A objected.

Apparently, the A class had been instructed not to have a discussion.

It turned into a light argument, and the time passed and the first discussion came to an end.

. . .

Ibuki: "Ayanokoji, you're friends with Karuizawa?"

On my way to the room, Ibuki said something like that to me.

Ayanokoji: "We met at the parfait before, didn't we? Besides, I had a chance to interact with the D class students in April. I started to talk to them."

Ibuki: "Really? I didn't know that."

"Hey, hey!"

I heard a slightly angry voice.

Ayanokoji: "Manabe and Yabu? What's up? Do you want something?"

Manabe: "No, we are not for you Ayanokoji-kun. I'm here to see Ibuki-san. Do you have a minute?"

Ibuki: "...What?"

Manabe: "Your attitude is really pissing me off! Just because Ryuen-kun likes you, don't get carried away!"

Ibuki: "What? What's with you all of a sudden? Did I do something to you guys?"

Yabu: "You're kind of overbearing and annoying..."

Ayanokoji: "Ibuki's been like this for a long time, you know?"

Bang!

Ayanokoji "Ouch!"

Ibuki kicked me.

Manabe: "See, Ayanokoji-kun also think you are annoying."

Ayanokoji "I don't think so at all. It's easy to be misunderstood, but Ibuki is a good person."

Yabu "Wow...I bet these two are dating."

Manabe: "That's gross. If you get carried away, I'll hurt you. Remember that."

The two of them left.

Ayanokoji: "What was that about?"

Ibuki: "Come on, 'gross' is my line!"

Ayanokoji: "You've caught the attention of some strange people."

Ibuki: "It's no use worrying about it. If they try anything, I'll beat them back."

Oh, well, that's very encouraging.

Well, you're actually right.

Even if those guys got together, still they wouldn't be able to beat Ibuki.

Ibuki: "Hey, let's get something sweet to eat and go home."

Ayanokoji: "Right."

I'm sure she's frustrated now.

I decided to go along with Ibuki to relieve her stress.

To be continued...

—————————————————————————-

Afterword

Zodiac test version.

This may be a long story, so I'll end it here.

Kiyotaka-kun found out about all three of the VIP candidates of D class.

I wonder what will happen to them... lol

I couldn't quite figure out the character of Manabe and the other bullies.

Yamashita is removed due to the fact that Kiyotaka is enrolled in the C class.

And the target of the bullying was not kei, but Ibuki.

Well, I think you can guess what the future holds. lol

Second part will be out tomorrow...

Thank you very much for reading.

So long!

〜

Room

I received a message from Ryuen in the class chat.

Ryuen: "I want to know the rule of how VIP is determined ,and if you were one of the VIP's, come to my room to show me your mail. Some of you may not like to show it to me, but if you obey me, I will give you 10,000 PP each."

Ishizaki: "10,000 PP.."

Kondo: "It's a good chance since we lost at the casino, didn't we?"

I wonder if Ryuen will give us the PP honestly...

It's more likely he won't give it to us...

The rule of VIP.

You can't be sure with only having VIP's of our class.

I'll help you.

After the second discussion, which was about to begin, I decided to head to Ryuen.

Meeting Room

Karuizawa: "Hey!"

Karuizawa calls out to me as soon as I enter the room.

Ayanokoji: "Can I sit next to you?"

Karuizawa: "Go ahead!"

Ibuki hasn't arrived yet.

Manabe and Yabu were talking with Machida and the others from A class.

Manabe: "Hey, Machida-kun, come play with us sometime!"

I can hear the conversation between Manabe and the others.

Karuizawa, who was listening to them, smiled wickedly.

Ayanokoji: "You're making a evil face. You want to play too?"

Karuizawa: "What?.I want to have some fun talk too."

Ayanokoji: "What do you generally talk with your friends?"

Karuizawa: "We talk about love life I talk about such things with my friends. Like, who likes who."

Ayanokoji: "Is that so?"

Karuizawa: "Hey, do you want to talk about love life with me?"

Ayanokoji: "About Hirata?"

Karuizawa: "I'm more interested in Ayanokoji-kun's love life..."

Oops.

I should not have sat next to her...

There's no way I can talk about love.

Ayanokoji: "I've never been in love in my life."

Karuizawa: "What? You seem like a popular guy. What a waste!"

Ayankoji: "Karuizawa, do you enjoy dating Hirata?"

Karuizawa: "Hmm, it's fun!"

Ayanokoji: "What's that? Give me a quick answer..."

Karuizawa: "Don't talk about me! What's your favorite type?"

Ayanokoji: "My favorite type...I wonder what it is."

Karuizawa: "You don't know? How about the two girls you hung out with before, Sato-san and Matsushita-san, they both complimented you on how cool you were!"

Ayanokoji: "Those two. I think they're pretty, don't you?"

Karuizawa: "I see, I'll tell them about it!"

No, you don't have to tell them...

Karuizawa: "Oh, and Kushida-san?"

I got a little nervous.

I didn't show it on my face, but...

Ayanokoji: "Kushida, huh? She's really popular, isn't she?"

Karuizawa: "That's right. I'm a girl, but I still think she's cute. Ichinose-san sitting over there is also very popular! The battle for the top of the first year girls is between Kushida-san and Ichinose-san!"

Ayanokoji: "Is that so? Isn't Karuizawa one of them?"

Karuizawa: "Hey, are you being sarcastic?"

Karuizawa gets annoyed... Is she angry

Ayanokoji: "No, Karuizawa is just as cute as the two of them..."

Karuizawa: "Hey, I have a boyfriend, so don't hit on me!."

She tapped me on the shoulder.

Ayanokoji: "Were you happy to be praised?"

Karuizawa: "Well, yeah. I'm always happy when someone says I'm cute!"

Ayanokoji "I see."

Karuizawa "Come to think of it... did you know that Ayanokoji-kun is ranked among the best looking men?"

Ayanokoji "Is there such a thing?"

Karuizawa "Yeah, you came in fifth! That's great!"

Ayanokoji: "Should I be happy about that?"

Karuizawa: "Did anyone confess their feelings to you?"

Ayanokoji: "No."

Karuizawa: "Wow, that's unexpected!"

Ayanokoji: "Karuizawa, can I ask you a question?"

Karuizawa "Hmm? What?"

Ayanokouji "Well, you are dating Hirata since pretty early on, but why don't you call each other by first name?"

Karuizawa: "Well... is it strange?"

Ayanokoji: "I've heard that it's normal for the people who are dating to call each other by first name or nickname. I was wondering why."

Karuizawa: "Oh, I see. It's a little embarrassing..."

Ayanokoji: "I might be the only one who thinks so, so don't worry about it."

Karuizawa: "Uh-huh. I understand."

Oh, Ibuki came into the room.

Ayanokoji: "You're late."

Ibuki: "Everyone was just too fast..."

When Ibuki came in, I thought the second discussion would take place, but since Class A was silent, there was no discussion. At Ichinose's suggestion, we decided to play cards to pass the time.

. .

An hour passed, and the second meeting was over.

Now, let's head to Ryuen's room.

Ayanokoji: "Is Ryuen here?"

Ryuen: "Oh? Ayanokoji, What's going on?"

Ayanokoji: "Did you figure out the rule?"

Ryuen: "The three VIP's from our class won't be enough. I've made some guesses, but I can't be sure"

Ayanokoji "Okay. I found out some of the VIP's form the other classes. You want to hear about it?"

Ryuen: "...What?"

Ayanokoji: "I had a chance to find out. If you know three VIP's other than our class which I'm about to give, you can be sure of your guesses, can't you?"

Ryuen "Kuku. What is it? You want PP too? What do you want?"

Ayanokoji: "I don't really have any wishes... By the way, what are you going to do when you find out the rule?"

Ryuen: "Why do you want to know? Are you... that kind of guy?"

Ayanokoji: "While every class is trying to get through the exam in a straightforward manner, you're the only one who's always doing something interesting. I'm interested in you."

Ryuen: "Kuku. I like women, but men are not my specialty, you know?"

Ayanokoji: "What are you talking about... Don't worry. Me too."

Ryuen: "This time, the target is class A. We're almost twice as far behind as they are right now. I don't care about the others."

Ayanokoji: "Class A, huh? It's true that if we allow them to run alone, we won't be able to catch up with them, but Ryuen can fight against Katsuragi."

Ryuen: "Have you ever heard of Sakayanagi? She's the one with the highest test scores."

Ayanokoji: "Sakayanagi... I don't know her."

Ryuen: "Katsuragi is insignificant, but Sakayanagi is quite a sight to behold. I just want to close the gap before she comes out to play."

Sakayanagi.

She is someone that Ryuen is very wary of.

I wonder what kind of person she is...

〜

The two cell phones are ringing.

[The monkey group's test has been completed. ]

Looks like someone finished the exam.

Ryuen: "Monkey group... probably Koenji's doing."

Ayanokoji: "Well... for now, we need to find the rule. These three are the VIP's."

I decided to give him the names of Kikyo, Minami, and Karuizawa.

Ryuen "If that information is correct, then my guess was correct."

Ayanokoji: "How exactly?"

Ryuen: "For example, Kushida Kikyo. She's in the same dragon group as me, right? Which is the fifth in the Chinese zodiac. If you put them in alphabetical order by last name..."

Ayanokoji: "Ando, Oda, Katsuragi, Kanzaki, Kushida...just like the order of the Chinese zodiac. I see, that's how it is."

Ryuen: "Looks like you got it."

Ayanokoji: "My group is rabbit which is forth in the Chinese zodiac. Me(Ayanokoji), Ichinose, Ibuki, and then Karuizawa. That's right."

Ryuen: "Kuku. Now we know the rule. Well done, Ayanokoji."

Ayanokoji: "Ah."

Ryuen: "I'm not going to ask how you know who the D class VIP's are. I'm just thanking you for providing me with information I can use."

Ayanokoji: "Thank you. Hey, can I make a suggestion?"

Ryuen: "What is it?"

Ayanokoji: "With my group, I might be able to do some damage to Class A."

Ryuen "Huh? How do you do that?"

Ayanokoji: "I was thinking of using Ibuki and Manabe."

Ryuen: "...Go on."

Ayanokoji: "Do you know that Manabe and the others don't like Ibuki?"

Ryuen: "I heard about it. I got a complaint from Ibuki that I caused her some trouble."

Ayanokoji: "Manabe seems to be getting along well with Machida in Class A. I'll take advantage of that. What do you think will happen if Manabe finds out that Ibuki is a VIP candidate?"

Ryuen: "Kuku. You mean manabe is going to tell Machida?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah. If this set up works out then we can lower Class A CP"

Ryuen: "Will it work?"

Ayanokoji: "Well, it's a gamble. It depends on how Manabe and Machida will act. Besides, there are other ways."

Ryuen: "Kuku. You're quite resourceful, aren't you, Ayanokoji? I left you alone because you seemed harmless, but it looks like you could be useful."

Ayanokoji: "Don't tell me I can use it..."

Ryuen: "Kuku. Then I'll leave the rabbit group to you. If you need me, I'll get you a VIP's device, just let me know."

Ayanokoji: "All right. Well, I better get back.."

Ryuen: "Yeah. See you later."

The moment I turned my back and was about to leave...

A sharp kick came flying at me, so I avoided it.

Ayanokoji: "..."

Ryuen "Kukuku."

Ayanokoji: "...What was that?"

Ryuen: "Sorry,I'll see you later. Ayanokoji."

Ayanokoji "...ah."

I guess I got a little too involved...

That look on his face, it's like he just found a toy.

I hope it doesn't turn out to be troublesome...

I decided to go back to my room.

Ryuen's POV

Ryuen: "Kuku. How could he have avoided that..."

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, huh?

I've left him alone until now because he seemed harmless, but...

A lot of C-class people are made of muscle, even their intelligence.

Kaneda, Shiina, and Ayanokoji.

I can use them as brains.

Besides...

That reaction time.

I was really going to knock him out, but I was smoothly avoided.

Ryuen: "Kuku. Kukukukukuku."

By the way, there was a time when he came in between me and Albert.

He didn't seem freaked out at all.

...Is that what this is about?

It might be interesting to try him someday.

Ryuen was beginning to take an interest in Ayanokoji...

Ayanokoji PoV

The next day

I colluded with Ibuki and decided to use the device I borrowed from Ryuen to take advantage of Manabe.

On the way to the meeting: ...

Ibuki: "Here, this is the email."

Ayanokoji: "I'll borrow it. Let's see..."

I dropped the cell phone on purpose.

Manabe: "Here, this. So... you were the VIP?"

Manabe, who was walking behind me, picked up the phone.

Ibuki: "Damn it. Why did you drop it, Ayanokoji!"

Ayanokoji: "Sorry, sorry. Manabe, please don't tell anyone, okay?"

Manabe: "All right, I'll go first."

With that, she left quickly.

Ibuki: "So... this is what you wanted?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah. Thank you."

Ibuki: "Do you really think she's going to tell an A class student?"

Ayanokoji: "It's a gamble, though. If we don't get an email from the school today or tomorrow, we'll go another way."

Ibuki: "Well, that face of Manabe's says she is probably going to give it away."

Ayanokoji: "She look like she got some good news."

Ibuki: "I don't know how much she hates me. Well, I don't like her either."

Ayanokoji: "Well, let's go."

Ibuki: "Yeah."

When we had finished preparing the food, we headed to the place where the third meeting would be held.

The next day

〜

The rabbit group's test has been completed. _

Oh, it looks like someone betrayed us.

I hope it's worked...

Now we don't have to get together. That's what I'm thinking...

〜

I received a chat from Karuizawa.

"Ayanokoji-kun, can we meet now?"

..I guess I will.

"Where do you want me to come?"

"The cafe is fine. There are private rooms."

Another cafe.

"Okay, I'm on my way. "

I replied, and headed for the cafe.

. .

Cafe.

Ayanokoji "Yo"

Karuizawa: "...Hey, Ayanokoji-kun"

Ayanokoji: "I knew you wanted to talk about the exam."

Karuizawa: "Yes. Well, I knew it would come to this. Can you tell me about it?"

Ayanokoji: "Would you believe me if I told you it wasn't me?"

Karuizawa: "I can't believe you I guess."

Ayanokoji: "I guess so. Well, don't worry, it won't turn out the way Karuizawa thinks it will."

Karuizawa: "...What do you mean?"

Ayanokoji: "It will probably be outcome 4. Good for you."

Karuizawa "Eh? I don't get it..."

Ayanokoji: "You'll get a lot of money, so please buy me something then. See you later."

Karuizawa: "Hey, hey, wait!"

Ayanokoji: "...Is there anything more?"

Karuizawa: "How come you know the result, Ayanokoji-kun? Did you do something?"

Ayanokoji: "Huh. Can you keep it a secret?"

Karuizawa: "Uh, yes."

Ayanokoji: "I did a trick. Probably someone in Class A sent a message that Ibuki Mio was a VIP candidate. That's why Karuizawa hasn't been guessed."

Karuizawa: "...Really?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah."

Karuizawa: "Wow...Ayanokoji-kun is a smart guy?"

Ayanokoji: "It's just cunning."

Karuizawa: "I see. Does that mean I get 500,000 PP?"

Ayanokoji: "That's right."

Karuizawa: "Yay! I can have a big party!"

Ayanokoji "..."

Karuizawa: "I'll buy you something as a token of my appreciation!"

Ayanokoji: "I see..."

She is getting really energetic...

Karuizawa: "Hmm. I can't wait for the exam to be over. I want my points soon."

Ayanokoji: "Keep it a secret from everyone around you, You'll get a lot of pestering"

Karuizawa: "Yes, you're right. I'll be careful!"

Ayanokoji: "Well, I'd better get going."

Karuizawa: "Yes! Thank you, Ayanokoji-kun!"

Ayanokoji: "See you later."

Karuizawa: "See you later!"

I parted ways with Karuizawa and decided to return to my room.

〜

Hmm?

On my way back, I received a mail.

The test for the Cow Group has been completed. _

It seems that someone betrayed Cow Group too.

If it was Ryuen, it would probably be different because he would probably end it all at once.

Well, it's up to Ryuen to decide how to proceed.

I'm going to enjoy the rest of my vacation.

Last day of the exam

I was relaxing in my room by myself.

〜

A few minutes after the last discussion was over, I received four e-mails.

They were about the rat, horse, rooster, and pig.

It seems that Ryuen has made a move.

As for the rat, rooster, and pig, the students in class A were the VIP's.

A few hours later, the results of the exam were sent to me.

Rat: The traitor answered correctly. Outcome 3

Cow: The traitor answered incorrectly. Outcome 4

Tiger: The VIP's identity was not discovered Outcome 2

Rabbit: The traitor answered incorrectly. Outcome 4

Dragon: The entire group answered
correctly at the end of the test. Outcome 1

Snake: The VIP's identity was not discovered Outcome 2

Horse: The traitor answered correctly. Outcome 3

Sheep: The VIP's identity was not discovered Outcome 2

Monkey: The traitor answered correctly. Outcome 3

Rooster: The traitor answered correctly. Outcome 3

Dog: The VIP's identity was not discovered. Outcome 2

Pig: The traitor answered correctly. Outcome 3

Based on the above results, the increase or decrease of class and private points in this test is as follows

Class A -200 CP 2,000,000 PP

Class B No change 2.5 million PP

Class C 150 CP 5.5 million PP

Class D 50CP 3 million PP

List of class points after reflecting the test results

Class A 974pt（1174-200)

Class B 813pt （8130） Demoted from B to C

Class C 818pt （668150） Promoted from C to B

Class D 242pt (19250)

Oh, so we'll be in B class from the second semester.

I'm sure everyone is happy about that.

The dragon group came out with outcome 1 as I predicted.

Ryuen was focused on PP, so I could predict this would happen.

If I had asked him to do that for Kikyo, the odds of her getting the first outcome would have been lower.

〜The chat arrived.

I received a chat. It was from Karuizawa.

"It turned out just as Ayanokoji-kun said it would! Thank you."

Thanks is my line, though.

Thanks to Karuizawa, I was able to get to the rule.

I returned the chat and headed to Shiina's place where I had promised to play.

To be continued...

———————————————————————-

Afterword

What did you think of the second part of the onboard exam?

With two consecutive wins in the deserted island onboard exam, C class is promoted to B class.

I was going to have them win all 12 groups, but that would have been too pitiful for the other classes, so I decided to go with the original story.

What should I do now?

I'll continue the summer vacation version for a bit, and then move on to the sports festival version.

If there's anything wrong, please let me know!

I'll edit it

Thank you very much for reading.

So long!

————————————————————————

Chapter 9 Happening

After two weeks of cruising, I'm back at school.

We had to take two special exams while on vacation, so we got a few days off...

Kushida: "I'm so tired!"

Ayanokoji: "Yes, you're right. And why are you here as a matter of course..."

I was completely out of food, so I went shopping and when I came back Kikyo was in my room.

Kushida: "I piled up so much stress. Come on, hurry up!"

Ayanokoji: "Wait, wait, don't start undressing. I just got home and I'm sweating..."

Kushida: "Let's do it in the bath! Please ."

Ayanokoji: "You go ahead. I'll be back later."

Kushida: "Hai!"

I did three times in the bathroom, and four times after we ate...

Kikyo's food was so tasty...

. .

One o'clock in the evening

Ayanokoji: "Feeling refreshed...?"

Kushida "Yes "

Ayanokoji: "The trip was tiring ,isn't it."

Kushida: "It was like two weeks of hell..."

Ayanokoji "That's how stressed out you were. How was the desert island exam?"

Kushida: "Shinohara and the others and Ike and the others got into a lot of trouble. Yamauchi and Ike were really creepy... they always tried to follow us when we were exploring. Yamauchi even changed his target to Sakura-san and almost attacked her."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, I see. Did Horikita do her best?"

Kushida: "She said she knew the leader of A class. But since Ibuki-san disappeared in the middle, she must have found out that Horikita was the leader."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, so your leader was guessed."

Kushida: "It seems like Ryuen-kun got the best of us in the desert island test. Horikita said she didn't care about him because he used up all his points, but when the results were announced, she was so surprised to see him there. I almost laughed!"

Ayanokoji: "I see. He's been spending most of his time without supplies. He's an amazing guy."

Kushida: "Yeah. I was completely wary of Ryuen-kun because of that. I won the zodiac test, too."

Ayanokoji: "Well..."

Kushida: "I got a million PP, so I'm pretty happy with that."

Ayanokoji: "That's good."

Kushida: "Kiyotaka and the others are in class B from the second semester, right? Congratulations!"

Ayanokoji: "Thank you. Well, it's mostly thanks to Ryuen..."

Kushida: "Oh, yeah. Kiyotaka, did something happen with Karuizawa-san?"

Ayanokoji: "Hmm? Why?"

Kushida: "There's been a lot of talk about Kiyotaka since the start of the zodiac test."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, we were in a group together and we talked a lot."

Kushida: "I guess that's why. You said me and Sato-san and the others were cute, right? we heard that."

Ayanokoji: "Well, yes."

Kushida: "Karuizawa-san also said that she got a little nervous when someone directly told her she was cute..."

Ayanokoji: "That happened too..."

Kushida: "What? are you trying to flirt with every girl possible?"

Ayanokoji: "Of course not. I'm just saying what I think."

Kushida: "So you're a naturally flirty. That's dangerous."

Ayanokoji: "What do you mean by that?"

Kushida: "Nothing. Well, don't worry about it."

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

Kushida "Hey, one more time _"

〜 〜 〜 〜

Kushida "Who is it from?"

Ayanokoji "It's from an unknown number... please be quiet."

Kushida: "Hmm. Got it."

Ayanokoji "Hello..."

Ryuen: ["Hello, Ayanokoji."]

Ayanokoji: "...Ryuen?"

Ryuen["Ayanokoji? Can you come out now?"]

Ayanokoji "..."

Ryuen: [I'll be waiting for you in front of the vending machine near the dorm.]

Then the call was disconnected.

Kushida: "...are you going?"

Ayanokoji: "It'll be troublesome if he comes to my room..."

Kushida: "Tsk. I was going to do it right now, but that Ryuen."

Ayanokoji: "You want to go home?"

Kushida: "No. I'm staying the night."

Ayanokoji: "I see. I might be late, so you can go to sleep."

Kushida: "Alright!"

I have a bad feeling about this, but...

I decided to head to Ryuen

In front of the vending machine

Ryuen: "You're here."

Ayanokoji: "Don't call me at a strange time..."

Ryuen "Sorry. Something interesting is going to happen now, so follow me."

Ayanokoji: "Something interesting is going to happen..."

Ryuen: "Come on, let's go."

I had no choice but to follow Ryuen...

What's going on?

After walking for a while, I found a group of people.

What are they doing...?

Ryuen: "Hey, I'm here. Paisen."

Lowlife 1: "You've finally arrived. I've waited long enough."

Lowlife 2: "You only brought one guy? What happened to the foreigner?"

Lowlife 3: "Did he get scared?"

"Hahahahaha..."

What's with these guys? I've never seen their faces before.

Are they upperclassmen?

There are ten of them.

Ryuen: "Just come on.You're going to destroy me, aren't you?"

Lowlife 4: "All right! Let's go, boys!"

Lowlife 2: "Let's go!"

He tried to punch Ryuen in the face.

Lowlife 5: "Come on, let's go, too!"

Ayanokoji: "Are you serious! What's going on?"

Lowlife 6: "What the hell, you're one of his! Ora!"

One of his...

You dragged me into your fight...didn't you?

Ryuen: "Kuku. Ayanokoji, if you don't fight back, you'll lose.

Lowlife 1: "Don't look away, or else!

Ryuen: "Small fry, go back to sleep!"

Thud.

Lowlife 1: "Ugh..."

Ryuen lands an uppercut with a kick to the face.

It looks like he knocked one of them out...

Ayanokoji "What! Are you serious..."

It seems that being with Ryuen has completely mistaken me for a companion.

I was surrounded by five people.

I don't know.

I have no choice but to do it...

Lowlife 3: You can't run away anymore!

Ayanokoji: "Don't hold a grudge, okay?"

Lowlife 3: "What? What did you say _"

I punched my fist into his abdomen, knocking him out.

Let's get this over with as soon as possible.

Lowlife 5" You bastard!"

Thud!

Lowlife 5 "Ugh..."

Lowlife 7: "Hey, let's go all at once!

Lowlife 8: "Oh!

Lowlife 9"Oraa!

Lowlife 5: "Ahhh!

Lowlife 7: "Oh no..."

Lowlife 8: "What the..."

Lowlife 9: "What the..."

It was too much trouble to lengthen the process, so I knock them all with one shot each.

Ryuen "Kuku. Seriously?"

Lowlife 9: "What the hell was that?..."

Lowlife 2: "On no.."

Ryuen"Don't look away!"

It seems that Ryuen has finished crushing them too.

Ayanokoji: "You set me up, didn't you?"

Ryuen "Kuku. That's right. I was trying to find out what you were capable of."

Ayanokoji: "I'm tired here..."

I'm mainly tired from dealing with Kikyo...

Ryuen: "I'm sorry about that..."

Ayanokoji: "You didn't call Albert and the others on purpose...did you?"

Ryuen: "Ah. I didn't think they would have brought this many people, though."

Ayanokoji: "These guys are older than you, right? Did you get in trouble?"

Ryuen: "They're from 3rd year C class. There was a dispute before the summer break. That's why I was called in."

Ayanokoji: "Don't drag me into this..."

Ryuen "Kuku. Just as I thought You're strong, aren't you?"

Ayanokoji: "I don't know. I just happened to hit the right spot."

Ryuen: "You shot them all with precision? You're pretty handy,aren't you?"

Ayanokoji: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Ryuen: "Don't play dumb."

Ayanokoji: "...more importantly, what are you going to do with these guys?"

Ryuen: "Help me take off their clothes."

Ayanokoji: "Seriously..."

In the meantime, we take off everyone's clothes and make them completely naked.

He was taking pictures of the men lying naked.

Ayanokoji: "...You have a bad taste Ryuen ."

Ryuen: "Kuku. I'm not interested in men."

Lowlife 1: "Ugh... why are we naked?"

One of them seems to have regained consciousness.

Ryuen: "Hey. I've taken pictures of all of your misery. There's no point in trying to tell on me, okay? Besides, if you ever do anything to the people in my class, I'll destroy you again."

That's scary. Revealing their naked bodies publicly.

Lowlife 1: "I'm sorry...please delete the photos. Please..."

Ryuen: "You are not going to rob my class students, right? Or what? Do you want to get beat up more?"

Lowlife 1: "No, no... please forgive me..."

Ryuen: "Kuku. I'm going to go now, so you can put some clothes on them. The mosquitoes will bite."

Lowlife 1: "Yes, yes..."

Ryuen: "Let's go home."

Ayanokoji: "Right..."

We left the place.

Ryuen: "Are you sleepy?"

Ayanokoji: "You woke me up!"

Ryuen: "Kuku. Then let's go to the convenience store and buy some cup noodles and go to the park over there."

Ayanokoji: "...Okay."

. . .

Park

We're sitting on a park bench, sipping on cup noodles.

What is this situation?

I feel like a delinquent...

Ryuen: "Why didn't you rebel against me in the beginning?"

Ayanokoji: "If you ask me why... I guess because I wasn't interested in whoever was going to be the leader."

Ryuen: "I see. If that's the case, how are your academic skills? I'm sure you're cutting corners."

Ayanokoji: "...I don't know..."

Ryuen: "Kuku. You've got a sharp mind, and you've had conversations with Albert in English before. And yet your test scores are average. How is that possible?"

Ayanokoji: "...Fluke I guess."

Ryuen: "Kuku. What a joke. Well, you're a quiet guy, so I guess you doesn't want to stand out. I can understand that. But you know what, when the time comes, I'll need your help, okay?"

Ayanokoji: "I don't want you to make me interfere like what you did earlier..."

Ryuen: "Ah."

Ayanokoji: "Should we head back soon..."

Ryuen: "...wait."

Ayanokoji: "Is there anything more? I'm really sleepy..."

Ryuen: "Fight me."

Ayanokoji: "Are you serious...?"

Ryuen: "Ah."

Ayanokoji: "I understand."

Ryuen: "Let's go."

Ayanokoji: "..."

Ryuen: "Oraa!"

2 hrs later

Ryuen: "Huh huh..."

Ayanokoji: "Are you done?"

Ryuen: "Hahaha... you've got to be kidding me. You're just trying to dodge me, tbh!"

Ayanokoji: "I told you I'm tired..."

Ryuen: "Tsk. You're a monster, I'll definitely kick your ass one day!."

Ayanokoji: "...I'll see you then."

I left Ryuen lying down and went back to my room.

... ...

Damn it. I'm at my wits' end because of that guy.

I'm more tired than I taught.

It's exhausting to dodge all of them, you know.

Ayanokoji: "Kikyo...?"

There was no reply. I guess she's asleep.

I took a shower and decided to go to bed too.

I'm probably the most tired I've been since I came to school...

Ryuen POV

Ryuen: "Damn."

I tried to challenge him, but as expected, he was strong.

My heart didn't break, but my strength ran out first.

That guy...Ayanokoji dodged all my attacks.

I kept firing at him, but he only dodged.

He didn't even try to fight back.

He said he was tired, but he wasn't out of breath at all.

...You've got to be kidding me.

Seriously, what kind of monster are you?

Ryuen: "Kuk, kuk, kuk."

It's great.

Even after crushing all the enemies, Albert and Ayanokoji are still here.

It's not like I could beat Albert either.

I'll eventually screw him over with force.

It was a humiliating but pleasant experience for Ryuen...

Next day

Ayanokoji "..."

Kushida: "Oh, you woke up! Good morning Kiyotaka."

Ayanokoji "Kikyo... good morning..."

Kushida: "That's unusual. It's eleven o'clock now."

Ayanokoji: "I got home after three..."

Kushida: "What have you been up to?"

Ayanokoji: "Um... fighting."

Kushida "What, a fight?"

Ayanokoji "Yeah..."

Kushida: "But Kiyotaka, you are not injured."

Ayanokoji "..."

Kushida: "I thought so... with Ryuen-kun?"

Ayanokoji "Ah..."

Kushida: "I'm surprised you're okay..."

Ayanokoji: "Yeah..."

Kushida: "Why don't you go wake up and wash your face? I'll make you a meal!"

Ayanokoji: "Sorry about that..."

Eleven o'clock...

I slept well.

Anyway, I washed my face and brushed my teeth.

I wonder if Kikyo will go out to play today...

Ayanokoji: "Kikyo."

Kushida: "What?"

Ayanokoji: "Aren't you going to play with someone today?"

Kushida: "I'm going shopping with my friends at one o'clock?"

Ayanokoji: "I see. Are you okay with the time?"

Kushida: "Yes. I'm okay! I'll be back after we have dinner together!"

Ayanokoji: "Got it.

It's tough being popular.

When I opened my phone, I found a chat message.

It was from Shiina.

["Ayanokoji-kun. Can we play today?]

An hour ago...

["I'm sorry it took me so long to give you a reply and yeah I'm free."]

I'll let her know.

Kushida: "It's ready!"

Kikyo brought over the food.

Ayanokoji: "Thank you for the food."

Kushida: "You looked tired. Let's eat."

Ayanokoji: "I guess. Itadakimasu."

Kushida: "Let's eat!

Ayanokoji: "Yes, it's delicious."

Kushida: "Hmm. Thank you."

〜

Shiina["Then, how about we meet in the lobby at 2:00?]

Ayanokoji: ["Okay, 2 o'clock in the lobby. I'm looking forward to it."]

That's what I said.

Kushida: "Oh, Kiyotaka got plans too?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah, I was invited."

Kushida: "From who?"

Ayanokoji: "It's Shiina from my class."

Kushida: "Oh, so you and Shiina-san are close."

Ayanokoji: "I read novels, right? Shiina likes to read too. We get along well."

Kushida: "Same hobby, huh? Are you aiming her by chance?"

Ayanokoji: "She's very attractive, but I don't think I would be a good match for her."

Kushida (You're cool too, so I think you are evenly matched...)

Ayanokoji: "Hey, should I be more careful about what I wear when I hang out with girls?"

Kushida: "Of course! Do you want me to pick something for you?"

Ayanokoji: "Please."

Kushida: "For Shiina-san, I think a slightly mature and neat look is good."

Ayanokoji "Hmm."

Kushida: "You don't have any clothes at all..."

Ayanokoji: "Well..."

Kushida: "Shall I help you choose some next time?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah, I guess."

Kushida: "Or if you're stuck for a place to go today, why don't you ask Shiina-san to pick one for you?"

Ayanokoji: "That might be a good idea."

Kushida: "Then I'd better get back to my room!"

Ayanokoji: "Oh. See you later."

Kushida: "Bye bye!"

Kikyo left.

Now, I'm going to get ready too.

Lobby

Shiina: "Sorry to keep you waiting! Let's go..."

Shiina in summer clothes... I love it!

Ayanokoji: "Shiina, that dress looks good on you. It's cute."

Shiina: "Is that so? Thank you very much."

Ayanokoji: "What are we doing today?"

Shiina: "Why don't we stop by the bookstore and for parfaits?"

Ayankkoji: "Yes, that's right. Can we go to the bookstore first?"

Shiina: "Yes "

We stopped by a bookstore and went to the mystery section.

She didn't find anything she particularly liked and we left the store.

Shiina: "Excuse me, I have to go to the restroom..."

Ayanokoji: "All right. I'll wait there."

Shiina: "I'm sorry..."

Speaking of which, she looked a little pale.

Is she not feeling well...?

After a while, Shiina came back.

Shiina: "Then let's go eat parfait "

Ayanokoji "Yep"

. .
.

Parfait shop

Shiina: "I tried matcha this time."

Ayanokoji "How is it?"

Shiina "It's delicious "

Shiina is smiling.

I wonder if she likes parfait after all, she has a huge smile on her face.

Shiina: "Oh, um, Ayanokoji-kun. It's hard to eat when you're staring at me like that."

Ayanokoji: "Wow, my bad."

I couldn't help but admire her.

Embarrassing ...

. .

We finished eating the parfait and left the store.

Shiina: "It was delicious "

Ayanokoji: "I guess so. Shiina really likes parfaits."

Shiina: "Yes... let's see..."

Shiina wobbled and fell on top of me.

Ayanokoji: "Are you okay?"

Shiina: "Yes, I'm sorry, Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "Don't worry about it.. Do you want to rest on the bench for a bit?"

Shiina: "Yes, let's take a break."

We sat down on a nearby bench.

But still...

There's something strange about Shiina today.

Ayanokoji: "Shiina, do you have a minute?"

Shiina: "What is it?"

I put my hand on Shiina's forehead.

Ayanokoji "...you have a fever."

Shiina: "Haha, I've been noticed."

Ayanokoji: "Were you straining yourself?"

Shiina: "I thought I'd be fine like this, but..."

Ayanokoji: "Let's go home today. I'll give you a lift."

Shiina: "I'm sorry, Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "There's nothing to apologize for. I'm sorry I didn't notice it sooner."

Shiina: "No..."

Ayanokoji: "Shiina, get on."

Shiina: "What?"

Ayanokoji: "You're wobbling."

Shiina: "...then, excuse me."

Ayanokoji: "..."

I carried Shiina on my back and decided to leave.

Shiina: "Ayanokoji-kun's back is relaxing..."

Ayanokoji "..."

Shiina "...suuuuuuure."

She seemed to have fallen asleep.

I wondered if she was tired.

Well, it's the return from a long trip...

I got to the dormitory and came to the front of Shiina's room.

Ayanokoji: "Shiina, can I borrow your key?"

Shiina: "...go ahead."

Ayanokoji: "I'm going to enter the room, is that okay?"

Shiina "Yes..."

Typical of Shiina, there was a bookshelf, lined with novels.

It's tidy and neat.

Shiina: " Thank you very much."

Ayanokoji: "You're sweating like crazy... do you want to change?"

Shiina: "Yes... it's a little uncomfortable."

Ayanokoji "Shall I wet a towel and bring it to you?"

Shiina: "It's over there, please."

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

...I can't do this alone. I'll call Ibuki.

["Please come to Shiina's room. Hurry up, please."]

I sent her that.

Ayanokoji: "Here's a towel."

Shiina: "Ayanokoji-kun, will you take off my clothes...?"

Ayanokoji: "...Is that okay?"

Shiina: "Yes...I'm getting really tired."

Ayanokoji: "...Okay. I'll take it off."

Shiina's clear white skin is exposed.

Yeah. I didn't see anything.

It's true.

Shiina: "If you don't mind, could you wipe my back..."

Ayanokoji "Ugh... Okay."

Shiina: "Please..."

(clank)

Ibuki: "What the hell happene...?"

Ayanokoji: "..."

Ibuki: "..."

Ayanokoji: "Wait, wait! It's a misunderstanding?"

Ibuki: "What? You perver_"

Ayanokoji: "She is running a fever. I can't do it all myself, so I need your help."

Ibuki: "I understand."

Ayanokoji: "Shiina, I've asked Ibuki to come."

Shiina: "Ibuki-san...I'm sorry."

Ibuki: "You have a fever... here, I'll wipe it off."

Shiina "Thank you very much..."

Ayanokoji: "I'll get you some medicine, porridge, and a sports drink, so keep an eye on Shiina."

Ibuki: "Okay."

I went to the pharmacy to buy antipyretic, and to the convenience store to buy porridge, sports drink and jelly.

. .
.

Ayanokoji: "I've bought some..."

Ibuki: "Welcome back. Let's just put a blanket on her and give her some medicine."

Ayanokoji "Right. Shiina, can you get up?"

Shiina: "Yes..."

Ibuki: "Here, medicine. Open your mouth?"

Shiina "Ah..." gulp.

Ayanokoji: "I'll put a blanket on ."

Shiina "Thank you very much..."

Ayanokoji: "You don't have any appetite, do you?"

Shiina: "Yes."

Ibuki: "You should sleep for now."

Shiina: "Would you please hold my hand...?"

Ibuki: "What? I just don't want to. _"

Ibuki: "Ouch."

I tell her to hold her with my eyes.

Ibuki: "...Okay."

Shiina: "Hmm. Ibuki-san's hands are so tiny and cute..."

Ibuki's face turns red.

Sure, they're small...

Ibuki: "Ayanokoji. Let me kick you later."

Shiina "...soooo..."

Ayanokoji, "..."

Ibuki: "..."

Ayanokoji: "For now, I'll put the sports drink and food in the fridge."

Ibuki: "Okay. Hey, you're not leaving, are you?"

Ayanokoji: "...No?"

Ibuki: "Explain the situation to me..."

Ayanokoji: "We went out since noon, but halfway through I realized she wasn't feeling well, so I carried her on my back to her room."

Ibuki: "So that's why you were taking off her clothes... I thought you were doing something else."

Ayanokoji: "That's not true..."

Ibuki: "...What are you going to do? I don't know if I'll be able to feed her myself when she wakes up."

Ayanokoji: "If that's the case, isn't Ibuki the right person for the job?"

Ibuki: "You wiped her back. I've seen it once, so it's fine."

Ayanokoji: "Girls are more carefree..."

Ibuki: "Just stay here!"

Ayanokoji: "Okay..."

I decided to stay in Shiina's room for a while.

By the way, all conversations between me and Ibuki are in a whisper...

It's been two hours since then.

Ibuki couldn't move with her hand held, so she passed the time by watching TV and talking to me.

Shiina: "Hmm ...,Ibuki-san."

Ibuki: "Are you awake? Has your fever gone down a little?"

Shiina: "It's a little easier than before."

Ibuki: "Do you want something to eat?"

Ayanokoji: "I bought some porridge and jelly."

Shiina: "Can I have some jelly?"

Ayanokoji "Ok."

I went to get the jelly.

Ibuki: "Why don't you feed her? She is still too tired, right?"

Ayanokoji: "...I guess so. Shiina, open your mouth, please."

Shiina: "Sorry to bother you."

Ayanokoji: "Would you like to eat some more?"

Shiina: "I'm fine now."

Ayanokoji "Okay. Let's get you hydrated, too."

Shiina: "Yes."

I open the cap and give her some clean water.

Shiina: "Puh-uh... thank you."

Ibuki: "Do you think you can handle the rest by yourself?"

Shiina: "Yes. I think I can manage."

Ibuki: "Call me if it's too hard. I'll come over even in the middle of the night."

Shiina: "Thank you very much. Ayanokoji-kun, I'm sorry about today..."

Ayanokoji: "Don't worry about it. I hope you get better soon. Take care of yourself..."

Shiina: "Yes. Let's play again next time."

Ayanokoji: "Yeah, I guess so."

Ibuki: "Well then, we're leaving."

Shiina: "Thank you, both of you..."

We left Shiina's room.

Ayanokoji: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to call you suddenly."

Ibuki: "It's fine. See you later."

Ayanokoji: "Yeah. See you."

I left Ibuki and went back to my room.

. .

I'll bring Shiina some more food tomorrow...

〜...

While I was thinking about this, I received a chat.

Three at once.

[Kushida: "Let's go to the pool the day after tomorrow!]

[Ishizaki: 'Let's go to the pool the day after tomorrow!]

[Ryuen "We're going swimming the day after tomorrow!]

Ayanokoji "..."

Well, I don't know what to do...

Once again, My head is stuck...

To be continued...

————————————————————-

Now, I'm going to write the pool chapter next, and then move on to Ayanokoji in class B.

The comments are very encouraging!

I'm not very good at writing, but I will do my best.

Thank you for reading.

So long!

—————————————————————————-

Chapter 10 The Pool Part 1

After I left Ibuki and returned to my room, I received three chats almost simultaneously.

[Kushida: "Let's go to the pool the day after tomorrow!]

[Ishizaki: 'Let's go to the pool the day after tomorrow!]

[Ryuen: "We're going swimming the day after tomorrow!]

Ayanokoji "..."

Well, what should I do?

The pool with Ishizaki and the others...

I'm sure they want to invite girls...

Komiya really liked Shinohara, didn't he?

Kondo and Ishizaki are after Kikyo.

Let's leave Ryuen out of this for now...

["Can you come to my room now?"]

I sent that to Kikyo, and decided to reply to Ishizaki and Ryuen later.

. .

Kushida: "I'm here!"

A few moments later, Kikyo arrived.

Ayanokoji: "Do you want some food?"

Kushida: "Yes! I'll have some..."

Ayanokoji: "Here you go."

Kushida: "Let's eat! Oh, what about the pool?"

Ayanokoji: "At the same time as you, Ishizaki and Ryuen also invited me to the pool..."

Kushida: "Oh, Ishizaki-kun invited me too?"

Ayanokoji: "I bet they did, that's why I asked you to come here."

Kushida: "I'm in trouble too. Ike-kun and the others invited me too..."

Ayanokoji: "... What are you going to do?"

Kushida: "...What do you think I should do?"

Ayanokoji: "It's going to turn into a fight..."

Kushida "Yeah..."

Ayanokoji: "Why don't you ask Karuizawa to join us? Hirata will inevitably come along, wouldn't that be good?"

Kushida: "Karuizawa-san, huh? I wonder if she'll come..."

Ayanokoji: "Is she not good at swimming?"

Kushida: "Yes. She said she hates swimming in class."

Ayanokoji "I see..."

Kushida: "Why don't you ask her out?"

Ayanokoji: "...Me?"

Kushida: "Yes. Maybe she'll come!"

Ayanokoji: "All right, Let's message her."

["Good evening. I know this is sudden, but do you want to go to the pool with me the day after tomorrow?"]

Ayanokoji: "I sent it."

Kushida: "Hey, do you want me to call Shinohara-san and the others? I'm pretty sure Komiya-kun is after her."

Ayanokoji: "But didn't Ike like Shinohara?"

Kushida: "Actually, not really. They seem to get along well when it's just the two of them."

Hmmm... I guess we'll have another problem then.

Ike and Komiya fighting over Shinohara...

Ayanokoji: "Shinohara and the others, who else are you going to call?"

Kushida: "Sato-san and Matsushita-san! The three of them get along so well, they're in one group."

Ayanokoji: "Is that so?"

Kushida: "I'll invite them anyway! Kiyotaka, why don't you invite Shiina-san and Ibuki-san too?"

Ayanokoji: "Shiina had a fever today. I can't let her force herself."

Kushida: "I see. What about Ibuki-san?"

Ayanokoji: "...It's going to be a stress her out because of deserted island?"

Kushida: "That's for sure..."

〜

Oh, it's from Karuizawa.

["You're asking me out on a date? I have a boyfriend, you know? lol.
It's nice of you to ask me out, but I'm not very good at swimming.
So I guess I'll pass... Sorry (._.)]

Kushida: "It looks like Karuizawa-san isn't going to make it."

Ayanokoji: "I guess."

〜

Kushida: "Oh, Shinohara-san and the others said they would come!"

Ayanokoji "Oh, that's great!"

Kushida: "I knew those two would come if I mentioned Kiyotaka's name!"

Ayanokoji: "What did you say to them when you asked them to come..."

Kushida: "Secret Now there are four girls. What about you, Ryuen-kun?"

That's right...

There's only one problem left.

Ayanokoji: "Let's ask him who he's going with. It's possible that he is with Ishizaki and the others."

["Who are you going with?"]

〜

["So far it's just Albert.]

Kushida "Ha!"

Ayanokoji: "Shall we have him join Ishizaki and the others?"

["Ishizaki and the others have invited me. Shall we go with them?]

["Huh? They've got a lot of nerve not to invite me, don't they?]

Kushida: "But we are going to have trouble with sudo."

Ayanokoji: "...Should we call Horikita? She is the only one who can come between those two."

Kushida: "Horikita... Well, thanks to Kiyotaka, I don't care about her so much anymore... I'll text her!"

〜

["I'd like to reject it, but... why me?]

Ayanokoji: "If Sudo and Ryuen fight the class points might get deducted,right?"

Kushida: "That's right!"

["What's with that group... something's definitely going to happen.All right, I'll join you."]

Kushida: "She is coming!"

Ayanokoji: "It's a big group, but we'll make it..."

Kushida: "I'll buy a bikini tomorrow..."

The day after tomorrow.

From C class.
Me, Ryuen, Albert, Ishizaki, Kondo, Komiya

From D class.
Kikyo, Horikita, Shinohara, Sato, Matsushita, Ike, Yamauchi, Sudo

We decided to go to the pool with the following unique members.

The next day

Kikyo left before noon, and I decided to bring Shiina some food.

Ayanokoji: "It's Ayanokoji. I've brought you something."

Shiina: "Welcome. Please come in."

Ayanokoji: "...Shiina, don't come out dressed like that."

Shiina: "What? Ah.../"

She buttoned up her night dress wrong and her skin was exposed...

Ayanokoji: "You're a screw-up. Shiina."

Shiina: "Ugh...I'm so embarrassed/"

Ayanokoji: "You seem to be feeling better than yesterday. Do you still have fever?"

Shiina: "It's thanks to Ayanokoji-kun and Ibuki-san I'm feeling a little better now."

Ayanokoji: "Were you okay at night?"

Shiina: "Yes. I was able to move on my own thanks to the medicine I took!"

Ayanokoji: "I see."

It looks like someone's here. Is it Ibuki?

Ibuki: "What, Ayanokoji is here too?"

Ayanokoji: "Hi."

Shiina: "That's a lot of fruits!"

Ibuki: "You look good. I'm glad."

Shiina: "Yes, thank you too, Ibuki-san."

Ibuki: "Don't worry, you'll get a fever again if you get carried away. Stay still."

Shiina: "Ibuki-san is like a mother to me..."

Ayanokoji: "That's right. An unexpected side..."

Ibuki: "What are you whispering about? I'll go cut some apples."

With that, she headed for the kitchen.

Shiina: "I thought I would enjoy the end of summer vacation..."

Ayanokoji: "You must have been tired from cruising. It can't be helped."

Shiina: "I wanted to go to the pool, but I guess I'll have to leave it for this year..."

You wanted to go...

I wanted you to come too, but I couldn't force you.

Ayanokoji: "We can go again next year."

Shiina: "That's right. Let's go with Ibuki-san and the three of us."

Shiina is so cute.

Ibuki: "..."

Ayanokoji: "...What's wrong?"

Ibuki: "You guys are like brother and sister."

Shiina: "Then you're our mom, Ibuki-san."

Ibuki "Huh?"

Ayanokoji: "Ibuki mama. Hurry up and give me an apple."

Ayanokoji: "Ouch!"

Ibuki: "What's with mom... here, an apple!"

Shiina: "It's delicious!"

The three of us chatted for a while, and then returned to our room.

Next day

"Hey, Ayanokoji. Let's go together!"

Ishizaki arrived as I was preparing to go out.

I got ready and went outside.

Ayanokoji: "You're early."

Ishizaki: "It's because I was looking forward to it! Ryuen-san and the others are coming too, right?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah."

Ishizaki: " I didn't invite them because I thought they wouldn't take us up on our offer... I'm glad you did!"

Ayanokoji: "Oh, I see..."

I think this could have been done without the girls...?

Ishizaki: "By the way, Ayanokoji. When did you become friends with Ryuen-san?"

Ayanokoji: "Ah... a lot of things happened."

Ishizaki: "What do you mean, many things! But it's good that he likes you, isn't it?"

No, it's not good at all.

I got caught up in something not good, here...

Ayanokoji: "I guess so."

We got off the elevator and went to the lobby.

Kondo: "Oh, here they comes! Yo, you two!"

Komiya: "I'm looking forward to it!"

Ishizaki "Komiya, you're so excited!"

Ayanokoji "It's because Shinohara is coming, right?"

Komiya: "That's right! Isn't it great to see her in a swim suit?"

[ fat ]

Kondo: "No, no, it's Kushida-chan!"

As we were talking, Ryuen and Albert arrived.

Ryuen: "Kuku. You're very early."

Ishizaki: "Good morning! Ryuen-san!"

Ryuen: "Ishizaki, why was I not invited?"

Ishizaki: "Ugh... even if we had asked you, you would have said no, so..."

Ayanokoji: "Leave it at that..."

Ryuen: "What is it, Ayanokoji? You want me to mess with you again?"

Ayanokoji: "You're the one who's going to be the first to fall down, right? Ryuen. You need to get stronger.."

Ishizaki: "Hey, hey..."

Ryuen: "Kuku, I'll sink you in the pool."

Ayanokoji: "If you can do it, yeah."

Ryuen "So? We are not going yet?"

Ishizaki: "The girls and Sudo and the others haven't arrived yet."

Ryuen: "I'm going ahead of you. Let's go, Albert."

Albert: "Yes."

Ryuen and Albert went to the pool first.

Kushida: "Wait for me!"

Oh, it looks like the girls have arrived.

Matsushita: "Ah, Ayanokoji-kun. Long time no see!"

Sato: "Long time no see!"

I'm approached by Matsushita and Sato.

Shinohara seems to be talking to Komiya.

Kikyo was chased by Kondo and Ishizaki.

Ayanokoji: "Long time no see, you two."

Sato: "Nice to see you today~!"

Ayanokoji: "Ah."

Horikita: "Long time no see, Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "Horikita, I haven't seen you since then..."

Horikita: "Yeah."

Matsushita: "You two know each other?"

Sato: "That's Unexpected!"

Ayanokoji: "We talked in April."

Matsushita: "April was when Horikita-san was really cold, wasn't she?"

Horikita: "I'm the same now as I was then."

Sato: "No, no,you have changed a lot. You have become much easier to talk to and very reliable."

Matsushita: "Yes, yes!"

The results are not good, but I guess the class supports her to a certain extent.

You're working hard...

Horikita: "...What?"

Ayanokoji: "I thought you were working hard as you declared back then."

Horikita: "I'm not ready yet. The results were not good."

Matsushita: "It's amazing, isn't it? Class C will become Class B in the second semester!"

Ayanokoji: "It might be temporary. There's only a small difference between us and Ichinose and the others. With our class attitude, we might be back to normal soon."

Horikita: "You're absolutely right."

"Sorry, we are late!"

It seems that the three idiots have finally arrived.

Kushida: "Well, let's go..."

On the way to the pool, the girls were talking to the C class members, and the three idiots guys walking behind us were very jealous..

Pool

Kondo: "Whoa! There are so many girls in swimsuits!"

Ishizaki: "It's like a festival!"

Sudo: "Kanji, I heard that Komiya is interested in Shinohara."

Sudo drops a bomb...

Ike: "Shinohara? Why are you talking to me?"

Yamauchi "What? Aren't you after Shinohara too?"

Komiya: "Is that so?"

Ike: "No, no! I'm after Kikyo-chan!"

Sudo: "I don't care but It might be too late..."

Ike: "Ugh..."

It seems that a new spark was born.

Kushida: "Sorry, did you wait?"

Kikyo and the others came out late.

Kondo: "Hyo!"

Yamauchi: "Oh no... it's acting up..."

Sudo: "It doesn't matter since yours is so tiny..."

Yamauchi: "You idiot! Mine's even bigger than a horse's."

What a vulgar thing to say...

Matsushita: "Wow, Ayanokoji-kun, you're so macho!"

Sato: "Really, really! Let me touch your abs!"

Matsushita: "Me too! I'm in!"

Ayanokoji: "Hey, stop it, both of you..."

Seeing the exchange between us, the boys started to kill me with their stares.

Hmm? Even Kikyo was staring at me.

Horikita: "Do you practice something?"

Horikita calls out to me.

Ayanokoji: "Sudo is more amazing than me, isn't he? Hey, Sudo."

I turned to Sudo to divert the conversation.

Sudo: "Well, yeah. I'm trained in basketball, you know!"

Horikita: "He's an athlete."

No, give him a compliment...

Kushida: "Hey, let's go in the pool."

Sato: "Yeah, let's get !"

Without further ado, we headed for the pool and decided to go for a swim.

I wondered where Ryuen and Albert had gone...?

The girls put on their swimsuits and started swimming.

The idiots kept their distance from the girls, probably because the exposure of their skin was too stimulating...

Ayanokoji "Sudo, why don't you go swimming with Horikita?"

Sudo: "Yeah, I guess so but, where did she go?"

Ayanokoji: "There, she's swimming by herself."

Sudo: "Oh, thanks a lot!"

Sudo went to Horikita's side.

Ayanokoji: "Kondo. Are you sure you're not after Kushida?"

Kondo: "I...I'll be in big trouble if Kushida-chan in a swim suit is by my side!"

Ayanokoji: "You won't be. Go ahead."

I say and push him back.

Ayanokoji: "Yamauchi. Your nose is bleeding..."

Yamauchi: "Wow, you're serious... I'm going to the bathroom!"

Yamauchi runs off.

Ishizaki: "Ayanokoji, I'll go look for Ryuen-san and the others!"

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

Ishizaki really likes Ryuen, doesn't he?

I guess he admires him as a man...

Matsushita: "Let's go too, Ayanokoji-kun "

Sato: "Can I join you?"

Ayanokoji: "Sure. Let's go."

I entered the pool with Matsushita and Sato.

Matsushita: "We've been in this position before, haven't we? Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji: "That's true..."

Sato: "Have you found someone you like, Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji: "No, not yet, what about you two, you're both pretty so I'm sure you'll have boyfriends soon."

Sato: "I want a boyfriend..."

Matsushita: "I can't find anyone good."

Ayanokoji: "Is there anyone else in D class amazing besides Hirata?"

Matsushita: "In terms of specs, I think Koenji-kun is good, but the rest are out of the question... and I don't think I need to get a boyfriend yet."

Sato: "Chiaki's pretty, so you can afford one."

Matsushita: "Maya's pretty too, so you'll get one soon! Ayanokoji-kun, what do you think about Maya?"

I don't know what to say...

Ayanokoji: "Sato... is cute."

Matsushita: "Hmmm ,Maya."

Sato: "Don't make fun of me."

It's hard to deal with these two...

There are a lot of people, so the distance is close.

I thought I was used to being naked with Kikyo, but...

I don't know why. It makes me nervous

For a while, the two of them continued talk.

. .

I heard that Ishizaki had found Ryuen and the others, so I decided to join them.

It seems they were watching beach volleyball.

To be continued...

Next chapter Class C vs D Volleyball match.

Thank you for reading.

So long!

Chapter 11 The Pool Part 2

Ryuen: "Hey Suzune, let's play a game."

Ryuen, who was sitting on a beach chair watching the game, said.

Horikita: "A match? I hope you don't mind if I refuse."

Ryuen: "It's not a special exam. There's nothing to be so afraid of."

Sudo: "Heh. Didn't you win by accident? If it's sports, I don't feel like losing to you!."

Ryuen "Kuku. Then come at me in volleyball."

Sudo: "Fine! Horikita. Let's do it!"

Horikita: "Well, let's see what the potential of Class C is."

Matsushita: "Oh no... Sudo-kun and Horikita-san, you've been provoked."

Sato: "Then let's play volleyball on the next court too!"

Kushida: "Sure, let's go!"

Ryuen "Hey Ayano _"

Matsushita: "Ayanokoji-kun, let's go too!"

Matsushita pulls me by the arm and leads me away from Ryuen and the others.

Nice work, Matsushita.

Ryuen called me, but I was able to escape.

Ryuen "Tsk. Albert, do you want to play?"

Albert: "Yes."

Ryuen: "Suzune. We have two boys over here, so as a handicap, you guys can have three, okay?"

Horikita: "Oh, you're so kind. Then I'll have Ike and Yamauchi take turns."

Ike: "What...?"

Yamauchi: "We'll go over there..."

Sudo: "Forget it, you guys stay over here!"

They try to escape, but Sudo holds them back.

Ishizaki: "Ryuen-san. If you get tired, please let me know! I'll switch with you!"

Ryuen: "Yeah. I'll call out to you if I get tired, so why don't you guys go play over there?"

Kondo: "Got it!"

Komiya "Shinohara, let's go!"

Shinohara "Yes!"

Ishizaki "I'll be the referee!"

Leaving Ishizaki behind, the three of them also came over here.

On this side were
Kikyo, Sato, Matsushita, Shinohara, me, Komiya, and Kondo.

On the next court.
Ryuen, Albert, Ishizaki, Horikita, Sudo, Ike, and Yamauchi.

Divided into two groups, the beach volleyball began.

Sudo: "Oraa!"

A powerful spike from Sudo.

Ryuen: "You're good, Sudo."

Sudo: "Of course I am!"

Sudo and his team were in the lead, taking advantage of their 2 to 3 handicap.

On the other hand, this side.

Komiya, Shinohara, Matsushita vs Kondo, Kikyo, Sato

There was a showdown between the two.

By the way, I'm watching Ryuen and his team's game while I'm a referee.

While the atmosphere here is cackling and giggling.

They're slugging it out over there...

I can't help but feel sorry for Ike and Yamauchi...

I'm sitting on a high chair and it suddenly shakes.

Kushida: "Kiyotaka why don't you play?"

Ayanokoji: "I want to but..."

Kushida: "You can switch with Kondo-kun!"

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

Kondo: "Oi, what are you two talking about?"

As I was talking with Kikyo, Kondo came over.

Kushida: "I was just wondering if Ayanokoji-kun! not going to play."

Kondo kept his hand on my shoulder and gave me an earful.

Kondo: "Aren't you and Kushida-chan getting along...?"

Ayanokoji: "She said you're cool, Kondo?"

Kondo: "What, seriously? !"

Ayanokoji "Do you want to switch with me?"

Kondo: "Yeah, I guess. I'll keep my eyes peeled for your play, Kushida-chan!"

Ayanokoji: "..."

You're a simpleton. So easy to fool...

Sato: "Get in here! Let's win..."

Ayanokoji: "Yeah. I'll do my best."

I decided to support Kikyo and Sato.

Komiya is really athletic.

He is very dexterous.

Shinohara and Sato didn't seem to be in good shape, but Kikyo and Matsushita move pretty well.

Meanwhile, on the next court, the Ryuen-Albert team was dominating.

Sudo and Horikita were struggling, because Ike and Yamauchi are now their weak links.

But still...

I've only heard that Horikita is smart, but she seems to have good athletic skills as well.

I think she'll be a good match for Ibuki.

. .
.

The result was an overwhelming victory for Ryuen and Albert

After the game was over, we decided to take a break.

As I left the court to take a break, another group came in.

Hmm?

That's Horikita's brother... the student council president.

Tachibana secretary, is also with them.

I guess they play in places like this, too.

They don't seem to have noticed us.

Well, I don't want them to notice me, but...

As I was thinking that, a beautiful blond-haired young man approached us, or rather towards Ryuen.

"Yo! You're Ryuen from the first year, right?"

Ryuen "Ah? Who are you?"

Nagumo: "Oh, sorry.I'm Miyabi Nagumo, 2 year. I'm the vice president of the student council."

Vice president, huh?

So that group is the student council.

Ryuen, "Well, well, well... what do you want, Vice President-sama?"

Nagumo: "I've heard about your success. I've heard that you've won two special exams in a row and that you're going to be in class B from the second semester."

Ryuen "Then what is it? Quickly, tell me what you want."

Nagumo: "Huh. You've got some nerve. Why don't you join us and play with us?"

Ryuen: "Who would play with someone they don't even know?"

As the two were talking, the student council president came over.

Manabu: "Nagumo. What are you doing? You're going to play, right?"

Nagumo: "Oh, of course! There's a junior I've been wanting to talk to..."

Manabu: "Ryuen?"

Ryuen: "Wow, even the President is here."

Suzune: "Brother..."

Horikita reacts.

She seems a little nervous, but I guess it can't be helped...

Manabu: "Suzune?"

Nagumo: "Hmm? Brother...? Could it be that this girl is your sister?"

Manabu: "Yeah."

Nagumo: "It's Suzune, right? Nice to meet you!"

Suzune: "Yes. It's nice to meet you."

Nagumo: "If you're with Ryuen, does that mean you're in Class C?"

Suzune: "No, I'm in D class."

Nagumo "What...?"

Nagumo was surprised to hear that she was in class D.

The sister of the student council president, who has been called the best of all time, is in D...

Manabu: "Nagumo. Did you finish your conversation with Ryuen?"

Nagumo: "Oh, that's right. Would you like to join us?"

Ryuen: "I don't want to. It's pointless."

Nagumo: "...Then how about we play a game?"

Ryuen: "Damn. You persistent bastard..."

Nagumo: "You won't do it for free... Then I'll pay you a million if you beat us."

Ishizaki: "Really, one million?"

Ryuen: "Kuku, I'll do it for two million."

Nagumo: "You're so cocky. It's okay. I'm sorry senpai, but I'm going to play with this guy, so please go play with Nazuna and the others!"

Manabu: "What are you thinking, Nagumo..."

Nagumo: "When you graduate, there won't be anyone in my grade to play with. That's why I decided to look for younger students who might be interesting to play with me while I'm here."

Manabu: "Is it really necessary to bet two million?"

Nagumo: "Well, I can't lose, so I should be fine!"

He is really confident. Is he that great? The vice president.

Nagumo: "It's a two against two, three set game with 21 points per set. The first one to win two sets wins. You can decide the members as you like. You can even change the players for each set. Suzune, do you want to play too?"

Suzune: "No, I rather not."

Nagumo: "I see. Nazuna, go play with Suzune and the others. Tonkawa, get ready for the game. Mizowaki, be the referee."

Nagumo called out to the members of the student council.

They're probably classmates.

Ryuen: "Ayanokoji. I'll call you later, so be ready."

Ayanokoji: "What about the veto...?"

Ryuen "Ah?"

Ayanokoji "I understand."

Ryuen: "Albert, let's go."

Albert "OK".

The first match was Ryuen/Albert vs. Nagumo/Tonkawa.

Now I'm in trouble again...

A few moments later, the game began.

Ishizaki and the others were cheering near the court.

Asahina: "Yoo-hoo! I'm sorry to drag you into this on your day off, okay?"

A girl named Nazuna came over.

Kushida: "Asahina-senpai! Hi!"

Asahina "Ah! It's Kushida-chan! right?."

Kushida: "Yes "

She started talking to Kikyo who was next to her.

So kikyo is also interacting with seniors...

Once again, I learned how amazing Kikyo was.

Manabu: "You are here too, Ayanokoji?"

Geez...

I've been discovered by a nasty guy...

Asahina: "Horikita-senpai, do you know each other?"

Manabu: "Something like that."

Asahina: "Heh! You, what's your name?"

Ayanokoji: "I'm Kiyotaka Ayanokoji."

Asahina "Ayanokoji-kun, huh? I'm Asahina Nazuna, and I'm in second year. It's nice to meet you."

Ayanokoji: "It's nice to meet you too."

Manabu: "Aren't you going to answer?"

Ayanokoji: "..."

Manabu: "I see. You can play volleyball with us over there."

Ayanokoji: "Alright..."

Asahina: "That sounds great! Are you coming too, Kushida-chan?"

Kushida: "Yes!"

She seem to be on board...

Kikyo and I, along with the student council president and the others, will be playing volleyball next court to Ryuen and the others.

. .

Asahina: "Let's do this, Ayanokoji-kun!"

Tachibana: "Ayanokoji-kun. I'm Akane Tachibana. It's nice to meet you."

Ayanokoji: "Why are we teamed up in this way...?"

I was more at ease with Kikyo...

To be honest, I'd rather watch Ryuen and the others play...

Asahina: "Look, there are two of each year, right? We split that up!"

Tachibana, Asahina, and me vs. Manabu, Kiriyama, and Kikyo

Ayanokoji: "...I see. I will support you, so please take care of the front."

Tachibana: "Understood!"

Tachibana salutes.

She's cute. Is she really a third-year student?

Tachibana: "Mmm, Ayanokoji-kun. Did you just think of something rude?"

Ayanokoji: "I just thought your dumplings were cute..."

I touch the dumpling.

Tachibana "Please don't make fun of your seniors!"

Asahina: "Haha, you're already familiar with her!"

After a while, the game started.

For some reason, Manabu only targeted my side...

Meanwhile, at the same time.

Nagumo and his team lead by 18 to 19.

Nagumo: "Ora!"

Albert: "...Sorry."

Nagumo was spiking at Albert, who was moving slower than Ryuen.

It was 18-20.

Ryuen couldn't close the gap and was defeated.

Ishizaki: "Damn, that was close!"

Komiya: "Vice president, you're awesome!"

Meanwhile-

Sato: "That's so cool!"

Matsushita: "Horikita-san,student council president is good?"

Horikita: "Yes. My brother is good at everything he does..."

Matsushita: "Why don't you go over there and join in, Horikita-san?"

Horikita: "I rather not..."

Matsushita: "Well..."

Ike: "Hey..."

Yamauchi "Ah..."

Ike: "Is Ayanokoji popular?"

Yamauchi "He is always sandwiched between two girls..."

Shinohara "Do you want to be sandwiched by a girls too?"

Ike "What are you talking about..."

Shinohara "You were doing great in volleyball just now"

Ike "I was slowing everyone down though..."

Shinohara "But it was cool to see how desperate you were!"

Ike: "Oh, I see. Thanks/."

Yamauchi "..."

Yamauchi "..."

Yamauchi: "There's no place for me..."

Yamauchi "Sorry. I have a date now, so I have to leave!"

Ike: "I see! See you later!"

Sudo "See ya! Haruki!"

Yamauchi: "Ah, ah..." (Please stop me!)

Yamauchi was on his way home ...

Manabu: "It looks like the first set is over."

Tachibana: "That's a good game."

Manabu: "That's right."

Asahina "You're in the C class right ,Ayanokoji-kun, your class is great!"

Ayanokoji "We have athletic students. I'm sure we'll be strong in the athletic ability test."

Asahina: "Then this is going to be tough for Honami and the others..."

Honami? You mean Ichinose.

Asahina: "I'm good friends with Honami, you know."

Ayanokoji: "I haven't heard anything about it."

Asahina: "You looked curious."

No, I didn't show it on my face...

Asahina: "Honami joined the student council. That's how we became friends."

Ayanokoji: "I see."

Asahina: "Huh? You said weren't interested?"

Tachibana: "Ayanokoji-kun."

When I was talking with Asahina, Tachibana called me.

Ayanokoji: "What's wrong?"

Tachibana: "A person with scary eyes is beckoning you, you see. Doesn't that mean you should go?"

Huh, it's my turn...

Asahina: "Whoa! Ayanokoji-kun let's play next time. Good luck with your game."

Ayanokoji: "Thanks."

I went to Ryuen.

Brother Horikita looked as if he wanted to say something, but I passed him.

Nagumo: "Oh, you're next. What's your name?"

As I headed for Ryuen and the others, I was approached by Nagumo.

Ayanokoji: "I'm Ayanokoji."

Nagumo: "Ayanokoji, Nice to meet you. Hey, Mizowaki. Switch places with Tonkawa!"

Mizowaki: "Got it!"

Ryuen: "Kuku. Are you ready, Ayanokoji?"

Ayanokoji: "...what should I do? Support?"

Ryuen: " You're going to be the support for this set. I'll have you attack in the last set."

Ishizaki: "Ryuen-san. Are you okay ? If you want,I can switch."

Ryuen: "Don't worry. Just watch."

Ishizaki: "Okay, I get it! Ayanokoji, do your best too!"

Ayanokoji: "Right."

Ryuen "Well, let's go for the win."

Ayanokoji "You get serious when it comes to points, don't you..."

Ryuen "Kuku. Who the hell wants to play for free? Come on, let's do this."

Without further ado, we went to the court.

The second set began.

. .

Nagumo: "You're good. You've got better coordination than before."

Ryuen: "Kuku, we'll take the second set."

We were now up 15-20.

and we won the second set.

Nagumo: "Tsh. Well, I guess it can't be helped. Let's take a break and go to the third set."

We decided to take a break as well.

Mizowaki wasn't moving as well as Tonkawa, so Tonkawa would probably come out to play in the end.

But that student Kiriyama.

Doesn't he get along with Nagumo?

He's always been around Horikita brother.

He's a weird guy...

Sato: "That's great, Ayanokoji-kun!"

Matsushita: "Good work. Here is a, drink!"

The two of them supported me.

Ayanokoji: "Thank you. Matsushita."

Matsushita: "Yes. You and Ryuen-kun were in perfect sync.

Sato: "Good luck for the next one."

Ayanokoji: "Yeah."

Perfectly in sync, huh?

I certainly found it easy to play with Ryuen during the play.

His thoughts, his demands.

I can understand what he is thinking and what he wants even if he doesn't say it in words.

Are we a good match?

No, that can't be it.

I stopped my disgusting thoughts and returned to my conversation with the two of them.

Nagumo: "Now for the last game. Tonkawa, _"

Manabu: "Nagumo."

Nagumo: "What's wrong? Senpai."

Oh, I have a bad feeling...

Manabu: "The last game. I'll play too."

Nagumo: "Seriously?"

Manabu: "Tonkawa won't be strong enough."

Nagumo: "Do you want to fight these guys too?"

Manabu: "Yeah."

Ryuen: "Kuku. That's right, President. You'll lose your chance to win."

Manabu: "We can't win, huh? Let's see. Who's going to win."

Ryuen: "Kukuku"

Ayanokoji "..."

Manabu"If you guys win, I'll pay you an extra million."

Ryuen "Kuku. You know what you're doing, senpai!"

Nagumo: "Fighting together with Horikita-senpai? It's not bad."

Ayanokoji "..."

What's with these guys?

The three of them are having a blast...

The battle of Manabu and Nagumo VS Ryuen and Me

The battle of the two is about to begin...

The third set is limited to 15 points.

Right after the game started, we were going back and forth.

Tonkawa: "Hey, hey..."

Mizowaki: "What a high-level battle..."

Tonkawa: "This Ryuen guy, he's been cutting corners?"

Mizowaki: " Ayanokoji is awesome too!"

Kiriyama: "It's just like Horikita-senpai. He's so cool..."

Tachibana: "..."
(Sure, he is cool, but can you please quit making those creepy expressions?)

Sudo: "Hey Horikita..."

Suzune: "Yes. They were probably cutting corners..."
(And Ayanokoji-kun... you've been an inconspicuous student until now...)

Ike: "They are amazing, It's hard to believe we are in the same year!"

Shinohara "In terms of sports, I don't think I can compete with Class C..."

Komiya "Did Ayanokoji cut corners?"

Kondo "His movements are totally different! Ishizaki⁉︎"

Komiya "Why are you crying?"

Ishizaki: "I'm not crying! I'm just moved by the sight of those two!"

Kondo "You're crying..."

Komiya "Here, towel."

Ishizaki: "Thank you..."

Sato: "Aaah! Ayanokoji-kun is so cool!"

Matsushita: "Yeah, he is."
(He wasn't serious at all earlier...)

Asahina: "Did he cut corners earlier?"

Kushida: "It seems so. I didn't know he could move that fast either..."

Asahina: "I see. Ryuen-kun and Ayanokoji-kun..."
(I'm sure the two of them will be able to defeat Miyabi...)

Kushida (Kiyotaka is so cool!)

The score was 13 to 13.

The game is about to come to an end...

Ryuen: "Kuku. This is fun... fighting strong guys is the best."

Ryuen started laughing loudly.

Is he alright...?

But maybe he is right about it being fun.

For the first time since I came to this school, I feel like I'm enjoying competing.

I used to hate to stand out, but now I feel like I don't have to worry about anything.

. .

Nagumo: "Those guys... they're pretty good, aren't they?"

Manabu: "Yeah. It good for you, isn't it, Nagumo?"

Nagumo: "That's right. It looks like I won't be bored after you graduate."

Manabu: "Well. Let's go for the win."

Nagumo: "Whoo!"

. .

Deuce continued for a while, and the score was 20 to 21.

If we get the next point, we will win.

Ayanokoji: "You'll have to make the final decision."

Ryuen: "Kuku. That's right."

The rally continued, and Ryuen unleashed the best spike of the day.

Ryuen "Oraa!"

The ball flies towards Nagumo with tremendous speed.

Nagumo: "..."

The ball hit Nagumo in the face because of too much momentum.

Manabu: "..."

Ayanokoji "..."

Audience "..."

Asahina "... puff"

Kiriyama (Nice one Ryuen‼︎)

Ryuen: "Kuku. We've won."

It was an unexpected ending...

Nagumo: "Here's the points. Take it."

Ryuen: "Kuku. Thanks. Are you okay? Your face."

Nagumo: "I'm alright... I'm sorry, Horikita-senpai. It's my fault."

Manabu: "Don't worry about it. More importantly, are you okay...?"

Nagumo: "That was intense. That last one was..."

Manabu: "I see. Ryuen. Take the points."

Ryuen: "Kuku. It was fun."

Manabu: "Same here. I had a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do."

Ryuen: "..."

Manabu: "Nagumo. Shall we go home now?"

Nagumo: "That's right. See you later, guys. Ryuen, and Ayanokoji too. I hope we can compete again sometime."

Ryuen: "Kuku. I'll beat you back again."

Ayanokoji: "..."

Nagumo: "See you then."

Asahina: "See you later!"

The group of student council members left.

Ryuen: "Albert, you get 500,000?"

Albert: "Yes."

Ryuen "Ayanokoji. You're good with 1.25 million, right?"

Ayanokoji: "Why don't the three of us split a million each?"

Ryuen: "Because we lost the first one because of Albert."

Ayanokoji "That's harsh..."

Ishizaki "You did it! Ryuen-san!"

Ryuen: "Yeah."

Komiya "Ayanokoji was amazing too. Good job!"

Kondo: "Did you cut corners earlier?"

Ayanokoji "I was playing with girls. They could have got hurt if I took it seriously..."

Kondo: "Yeah, you're right."

Ryuen "Kuku. Today was fun. I'm leaving soon. You guys do what you want."

With that, Ryuen left.

In addition, Albert also left.

Kushida: "Well, let's have some more fun before we go home."

Sato: "Yeah"

Sudo: "Come on, Horikita!"

Horikita: "Yeah."

We enjoyed the pool for a while and then went home.

On the way home

"Do you have a minute?"

On my way home, I'm stopped by a woman.

She's tall. And she has an aura.

Who is she...?

Kushida: "I think it's Kiryuin-senpai! Nice to meet you?"

The woman seemed to be called Kiryuin.

Kikyo really knows her stuff...

Kiryuin: "You know my name? No, I wanted to talk to you about something."

Hmm? Me?

Kushida: "Ayanokoji-kun, is it?"

Kiryuin " Can the rest of you please excuse us for a moment?"

Kushida: "Okay, I understand. We'll go first, okay? Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "Yeah, okay."

I left Kikyo and the others and was left alone with Kiryuin.

Ayanokoji: "So, what do you want from me?"

Kiryuin: "You were fighting with the student council president and vice president at the pool a while ago, right? For some reason I got interested in you."

I see. So you were watching from somewhere at that time.

There were a lot of onlookers, so...

Ayanokoji: "Interest, huh? I'm a person with nothing interesting to say."

Kiryuin: "That's for me to decide, Ayanokoji."

Ayanokoji: "If you've been watching, you'll know that I'm tired, so can I go home?"

Kiryuin: " Do you really hate talking to me that much?"

Ayanokoji: "Yes. I get nervous when I'm in front of beautiful girls."

Kiryuin: "Beautiful, huh. Well, let's just call it a face-to-face meeting today."

Ayanokoji: "That's right. So here I go."

Kiryuin grabbed me by the arm.

Ayanokoji: "...anything yet?"

I was pulled in close and Kiryuin's face was close to mine.

Kiryuin: "You say I'm beautiful, but you don't even seem nervous to be this close to me."

Ayanokoji: "...What do you want?"

Kiryuin: "I thought we should exchange contact information."

Ayanokoji "Huh..."

Kiryuin: "Here, give me your device."

I had no choice but to give her my device.

Kiryuin "You can register is as the beautiful Fuka kiryuin Senpai, okay?"

So your first name is Fuka...

I decided to register her contact information just in case.

Ayanokoji: "... are we done?"

Kiryuin: "You can go. We'll meet again, Ayanokoji."

Ayanokoji: "I guess so. Now if you'll excuse me."

Leaving Kiryuin behind, I quickly left the place.

What was that...?

She was a person with a unique atmosphere.

The strength of her grip on my arm, and the power to pull me in. That was pretty strong...

For some reason, she got me interested.

I hope I don't get in trouble...

I didn't want to get tangled up again, so I went home without stopping by.

To be continued...

—————————————————————————

Afterword

F for Nagumo-kun. LOL!

And that's the end of the summer vacation chapter.

It's over.

I'm going to start the sports festival next.

Before that, I have to read volume 5 again.

I forgot what kind of content I was working on... lol

I only remember that Amikura was running wild...

Thank you very much for reading.

So long!

—————————————————————————

Chapter 12 Here it comes! Sports Festival!

Cafeteria

Shiina: "So the order of the animals in the Chinese zodiac and the students last names were the keys to finding the VIP candidates!."

I was currently having dinner with Shiina and Ibuki, and reflecting on the onboard exam.

Ibuki: "Ryuen knew that... but why didn't he guess everything if he did?"

Ayanokoji: "I don't know. I had a chance to talk to him during the exam, and he told me he was only aiming for class A."

Ibuki: "Class A..?."

Shiina: "Did he fear that the other three classes might join forces in the future?"

Ibuki: "Certainly. If we were winning by ourselves, it wouldn't be surprising if the other classes banded together to crush us..."

Ayanokoji: "I wonder. He enjoys everything he does, doesn't he?"

Ibuki: "You've learned a lot about Ryuen..."

Shiina: "Did anything happen during summer vacation?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah. I had a chance to play with him."

Ibuki: "How could you even think of playing with that guy..."

Ayanokoji: "Well, it just happened..."

Shiina: "Hmm. I want to be able to talk to Ryuen-kun too."

Ibuki: "Don't even think about it. You're going to get dirty."

Shiina: "Dirty? What does she mean, Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji: "Well, that's..."
(Don't look at me with those innocent eyes...)

Ibuki: "Here, here, eat quickly. Let's leave it at that."

Shiina: "Oh, that's right!"

At Ibuki's suggestion, Shiina eats her rice.

She is cute.

I couldn't help but want to poke at her swollen cheeks.

Shiina is not the assertive type, so she doesn't stand out too much.

I'm sure a lot of people will fall in love with her when she starts to stand out.

Kaneda would probably aim for Shiina...

I'm not giving you our Shiina.

A few minutes later, Shiina finished eating and we returned to our classroom.

The afternoon class was set for two hours of HR.

When Sakagami sensei arrived, he began to explain in an indifferent manner.

Sakagami "Classes have started again today, but in the second semester, there will be an increase in physical education classes during the month of September to the beginning of October, in preparation for the sports festival. I'll be handing out a new timetable, so please make sure you keep it in a safe place. I'll also be handing out materials about the festival now. The students in the front of the class, please pass the handouts to the back."

Some of the boys cheered and some of the girls screamed at the mention of the sports festival.

A few moments later, the materials were passed around.

Sakagami: "As some of you may have already noticed, this year's sports festival has adopted a system in which all grades are divided into two groups to compete. You, B class, have been assigned to the white group and Class C will be fighting in the white team along side you. Class C will be your ally during this sports festival."

So we are going to be competing against A and D classes?

Kondo: "Wow, really? !"

Komiya: "I didn't know this was possible!"

No wonder the two of them were surprised.

He'd probably assumed that this exam would pit all four classes against one another, same as always.

This sports festival required a different strategy than we'd had during the special exam on the cruise ship.

It demanded cooperation between students from different years.

Sakagami "First of all, look over the results that the sports festival will bring. Make sure you listen to them carefully at once."

The contents are as follows.

Sports Festival Rules and Team Division

The sports festival divides all students, across all grade levels, into two teams: Red and White. The breakdown goes as follows: Classes A and D are on the Red Team, Classes B and C are on the White Team.

Point Allocation for All Competitors (Individual Competitions)

Points will be allocated as follows: first place will be awarded fifteen points, second place will be awarded twelve points, third place will be awarded ten points, and fourth place will be awarded eight points.

One point will be deducted for coming in fifth place, and one additional point will be subtracted for each place below that. (During a team competition, the winning team will be awarded 500 points.)

Point Allocation for Recommended Competitors

Points will be allocated as follows: first place will be awarded fifty points, second place will be awarded thirty points, third place will be awarded fifteen points, and fourth place will be awarded ten points.

Two points will be deducted for coming in fifth place, and two additional points will be subtracted for each place below that. (The final competition, the relay race, will offer three times the point values.)

Red Team vs. White Team Outcome

After reviewing the combined overall scores for each class, 100 class points will be deducted from the first-, second-, and third-year batches of the two classes on the losing team.

The Effect of Ranking by Grade Level

Fifty class points will be awarded to the class that scores highest in each of the three grade levels. Classes that achieve second place in their grade level will not see any changes to their class point totals. Classes that achieve third place in their grade level will have fifty class points deducted, and classes that achieve fourth place will have 100 class points deducted.

Sakagami: "The penalty for the losing team is not light. Don't let your guard down and give it your all."

In addition to the above, We also found some special bonuses.

Individual Competition Rewards (may be applied to the next midterm exam)

Students who achieve first place in an individual competition will be awarded either 5000 private points, or the score equivalent of three points on a written test. (In the event that a student accepts the test points, they will not be allowed to give those test points to another student.)

Students who achieve second place in an individual competition will be awarded either 3000 private points, or the score equivalent of two points on a written test. (In the event that a student accepts the test points, they will not be allowed to give those test points to another student.)

Students who achieve third place in an individual competition will be awarded either 1000 private points, or the score equivalent of one point on a written test. (In the event that a student accepts the test points, they will not be allowed to give those test points to another student.)

Students who score lowest in an individual competition will have 1000 private points deducted from their total. (In the event that a student has less than 1000 points, they will instead receive a one-point penalty on a written exam.)

Regarding Rule Violations/Foul Play

Read and comply with every competition's rules. Those who violate the rules will be disqualified. Anyone engaging in foul play may be forced to withdraw from the festival. In such cases, the school may render all previously awarded points invalid.
MVP Reward

The student who receives the highest total score across all competitions will be awarded 100,000 private points.

MVP Rewards for Each Individual Grade Level

The three students from each grade level who receive their grade's highest total score across all competitions will be awarded 10,000 private points.

Although it is not as good as the previous tests, it offers a wide range of benefits, from strict conditions to easy ones.

Ishizaki: "Points... I want points too."

Kondo "But, you know, there's a penalty too..."

Yes. This is what it says in the rest of the article.

After all the competitions are over, the scores will be tallied within the school year and penalties will be imposed on the bottom 10 students.

The details of the penalty may vary from year to year, so please check with your homeroom teacher.

Komiya: "Sensei, what kind of penalty is this?"

Sakagami: "For you first-year students, the penalty would be a point deduction on your next written exam. The ten students with the lowest overall scores will each receive a deduction of ten points."

Kondo: "Geez! Are you serious..."

If Kondo got the lowest score, he would have to get 10 points more than his red score in the next written exam.

It would be quite painful.

After a briefing, we went over the details of the competition.

Events for All Participants

100-Meter Dash
Hurdle Race
Capture the Flag (boys only)
Ball Toss (girls only)
Tug-of-War (separate events for boys and girls)
Obstacle Course Race
Three-Legged Race
Cavalry Battle
200-Meter Dash
Events for Recommended Participants
Scavenger Hunt
Four-Way Tug-of-War
Three-Legged Race (mixed boys and girls)
1200-Meter Relay Race (mixed grade level, all three years)

A total lineup of 13 events.

Apparently, some of us were not happy with the number of events that all of us had to participate in.

Kondo: "That's a lot, isn't it, can we finish it in one day?"

Sakagami: "It's just a competition of physical strength and athleticism."

Komiya: "Really..."

Sakagami: "Another important thing to note is the participation table. Fill it out in the order you'll participate in, and I will submit it to the school on your behalf. I don't imagine any junior high has adopted a system like this, so do be extra careful not to make any mistakes."

Ryuen: "When is the deadline?"

Sakagami: "The submission period is from one week before the sports festival until 5:00 p.m. If you miss the deadline, your work will be randomly assigned, so please be careful. Also, after the deadline, no replacement will be allowed for any reason whatsoever."

Next, he explained the remedy in case someone was injured.

As for the recommended competitions, they can pay 100,000 PP to have a substitute.

That was the end of the explanation.

Sakagami: "Now we will move to the first gymnasium to meet the other grades in each class. That's all."

After the teacher's talk, everyone started to discuss.

〜

I receive a chat from Ryuen.

Ryuen: "Let's have a competition."

What? It's out of the blue...

Ayanokoji "What are we competing for?"

Ryuen: "We're going to see who can get more points, me or you. I'm going to ask you to participate in all of the recommended events as well."

Ayanokoji: "...can I refuse?"

Ryuen: "My people are aware of you. There's no need to hide."

Ayanokoji: "There's no guarantee that I'll get first place in every competition."

Ryuen: "Kuku. Don't say things you don't think."

Ayanokoji: "And? Why are you competing?"

Ryuen: "Just killing time. I'll tell you more about it after school."

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

After the exchange with Ryuen, Shiina approached me.

Shiina: "It looks like a lot of work. I wonder if I'll have the stamina..."

Ayanokoji: "Indeed."

It's going to be physically hard for people who don't have stamina and for girls.

Shiina: "Ayanokoji-kun, Ibuki-san. Why don't we practice in the morning until the day of the sports festival?"

Ayanokoji and Ibuki: "What?"

Shiina: "I'm trying to build up my strength. Let's go for a run together."

Ibuki: "Let's do it occasionally. Only if you can keep up with me."

Shiina: "I see. Would you like to join us, Ayanokoji-kun?"

If you ask me with those puppy eyes...

Ayanokoji: "Maybe not every day...?"

Shiina: "Fine! I'll do my best."

She is so cute Shiina.

I couldn't say no even if I wanted to!

We chatted for a while and then walked to the gym.

Gymnasium

Ryuen: "Damn. This place is crawling with small fries."

More than 400 students and teachers gathered in the gymnasium.

Ryuen swears at the number of people.

I looked towards the third year and found myself eye to eye with the student council president, Horikita Manabu.

'You and I are enemies, and I'm looking forward to it.'

Hmm, I wonder why.

I feel like I can read his mind...

Ryuen, who was next to me, also seemed to have noticed Manabu Horikita.

Ryuen: "Kuku. Aside from us, the second and third years will probably have the advantage."

I can understand why Ryuen would analyze it that way.

In any case, Horikita Manabu and Nagumo Miyabi are the enemies.

When the representative of the white group had finished speaking, Ryuen opened his mouth.

Ryuen: "Hey, you guys, let's go home."

Just as I was about to follow his words and leave, Ichinose called out to us.

Ichinose: "Are you saying you don't intend to discuss this?"

It seems that the people around me are paying attention.

Ryuen: "I'm trying to leave with good intentions, okay? If I say I'll help you, will you listen? We'll just end up having a meaningless conversation. I don't have enough time to waste."

Ichinose: "I see. You're thinking of us and trying to save us the trouble, aren't you? I see."

Ryuen: "Kuku. You should be grateful."

We ended our conversation with Ichinose and followed Ryuen back to the classroom.

Classroom

At Ryuen's instruction, most of the students had gone home and only some remained in the classroom.

Kaneda "Ryuen-san. Shouldn't we be cooperating?"

Ryuen: "It's fine. This time, I'm going to target class A thoroughly. That's why I don't need their help."

Ibuki: "How are we going to target them?"

Ryuen: "Who's in command of Class A now?"

Ibuki: "Isn't it Katsuragi? Sakayanagi's not feeling well and won't be able to make it to the sports fes..."

Ryuen: "That's right. I'll have one of the Sakayanagi faction leak the participation list."

Ibuki: "You said they helped you on the deserted island, but are they going to help you this time too? Even though the gap between the classes is getting smaller?"

Ryuen: "Probably no one will be under Katsuragi's command after this examination. That's what Sakayanagi and her faction wants."

Ibuki: "They would betray their class just for that?"

Ryuen "Kuku. Unlike Katsuragi, Sakayanagi is the type that seeks stimulation. She's probably feeling bored."

Kaneda: "...She's a strange one."

Ishizaki: "Are we okay with D class?"

Ryuuon "Kuku kuku."

Ryuen looked at me and smiled.

Naturally, everyone's eyes were drawn to me.

Ayanokoji: "...what is it?"

Ryuen: "Ayanokoji, you will compete with sudo."

Ibuki: "Huh? What do you mean "Compete"? It's impossible."

Ryuen: "We may not be able to get the entire class participation list, but we can buy information on one person with points. All you have to do is to put a bait in front of the one who is hungry for points."

Ibuki: "...And? I'm not sure why Ayanokoji. There's no way he can win."

Ryuen: "Kuku. I have high hopes for Ayanokoji.

Ayanokoji: "..."

Ibuki: "Something's going on here, why don't you say something?"

Ayanokoji: "...Veto?"

Ryuen "Ah?"

Ishizaki: "Ayanokoji is athletic and can beat Sudo! We must encourage him, you guys!"

Komiya "Yeah, that's right! Good luck! Ayanokoji!"

Kondo: "You better not piss off Ryuen-san! He'll beat you to a pulp..."

The three of them, who knew nothing about the situation, convinced me to obey him, as if they thought Ryuen would punish them.

It's getting harder to say no...

Ayanokoji: "Well, I'll do my best."

Ibuki: "You're taking this on! "

Ryuen: "As soon as we know the A class participation list and Sudo's order in participation, we'll decide our order of participation accordingly. We're dismissed for today. Everyone except Ayanokoji, go home."

Ayanokoji: "Wait, I'm leaving too!"

Ryuen "Ah?"

Ishizaki: "Ayanokoji! Be careful!"

Komiya: "Do your best to endure, okay?"

Kondo: "I'm sorry for your loss..."

Albert: "Bad boy."

Kaneda: "...Good-bye."

Ibuki: "...Ayanokoji, I'll be waiting for you at the door entrance."

Hey, hey, this makes it look like I'm being punished by Ryuen...

Ayanokoji: "You... you've been treating me badly lately, haven't you?"

Ryuen: "Kuku. If you want, you can try to beat me in front of everyone and become the leader? It's hard to organize those guys, you know?"

Huh...

Either way, there's no way out...

Ayanokoji: "So, what do you want, leaving me here alone?"

Ryuen: "There was a guy in D class who you know, right? If you ask him, he can tell you the order of participation of Sudo, right?"

Ayanokoji: "What if he doesn't tell me?"

Ryuen: "You made a profit the other day. You can use those points, right?"

Ayanokoji: "...is it okay if Sudo is the only one?"

Ryuen: "D will probably be a class that relies on Sudo. If he can't win, D class isn't a threat."

Ayanokoji: "They have Koenji."

Ryuen: "Do you think he'll take it seriously?"

Ayanokoji: "...well, I guess not."

Horikita and the others probably know that, so they won't let him participate in the recommendation competition.

Ryuen: "The red will probably win the red vs white competition, and a negative CP score will be inevitable. That's why we need to take first place in the school year standings and get through this with a minimal negative."

Ayanokoji: "I guess."

Ryuen: "Well, we're going home, too. I'll take you to a ramen shop now so you can get motivated."

Ayanokoji: "Fine..."

Don't use ramen to put me in a good mood!

I'm not sure how I feel about that.
I was thinking that this kind of thing is not so bad...

We took Ibuki who was waiting for me at the door, and the three of us stopped by a ramen shop.

To be continued...

Afterword

Unlike the original story, I decided to bring down Class A instead of Class D.

I decided to make Hashimoto betray him again.

Thank you very much for reading.

So long!

Chapter 13 Preparation

Late at night

Kushida: "Kiyotaka smell different today?"

Ayanokoji: "...Because I've been eating ramen."

Kushida: "Hmm. That's why your mouth smell like that."

Ayanokoji: "I will brush my mouth. Does it smell that bad?"

Kushida: "I think the burp was bad..."

Ayanokoji: "Really."

Kushida: "I don't mind, it's fine."

Kikyo gave me a hug.

Ayanokoji: "Stressed again?"

Kushida: "Hehe. I'm sure it will subside when you do this."

You're so cute.

Ayanokoji: "Every time I think about it, if people knew I was having sex with Kikyo, they'd probably kill me."

Kushida: "I don't know what will happen to me either... Kiyotaka's popularity is skyrocketing these days.

Ayanokoji: "Oh, really?"

Kushida: "Hmm? You look happy, don't you?"

Ayanokoji: "I think it's better than being hated."

Kushida: "When I was watching the volleyball, Asahina and Tachibana praised that you were cool, and Maya and Chiaki were jealous. How much of a playboy are you..."

Ayanokoji: "Hey, hey, don't poke me, it hurts. And I'm not a playboy.."

Kushida: "I wonder what will happen if you stand out at the sports festival."

Ayanokoji: "Come on. It's no use worrying about what's going to happen."

Kushida: "I guess so. Let's go to bed. Kiyotaka, give me a good night kiss "

(kiss)

Kushida: "Mmmm thanks. Good night..."

After kissing and stroking her head for a while, Kikyo fell asleep.

I've already told Kikyo about Sudo.

I thought she would be reluctant, but she said she wanted to see me look cool, so she agreed.

All I have to do is to beat Sudo.

I'm going to have a lot of PE classes tomorrow, so I'm going to bed too.

The next day

Ibuki: "...Good morning."

Ibuki greeted me as I entered the classroom, looking a little sick.

Ayanokoji: "Good morning. Are you not feeling well?"

Ibuki: "Hmm, stomach ache I guess..."

Ayanokoji: "You ate quite a lot, didn't you?"

Shiina: "Oh, did you two go out for dinner yesterday?"

Ayanokoji: "Ryuen was with us too. We went to a ramen store."

Shiina: "Mmm... I wasn't invited!"

Shiina puffs out her cheeks.

Ayanokoji: "Why don't you go with me next time?"

Shiina: "...Please invite me next time, okay?"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah."

Ibuki: "I was forced to go with them..."

Ayanokoji: "But Ibuki was the one who ate the most, remember?"

Ibuki: "...I guess so."

While we were chatting, the bell rang for the start of day.

Today is the day of the once-a-week two-hour HR session.

In the HR, Ryuen informed us of the class policy, and since there was nothing in particular to discuss and decide at the moment, we were free to spend the rest of the time as we pleased.

Shiina: "When shall we start morning practice?"

Ibuki: "Hmm."

Ayanokoji: "I am fine with anything."

Shiina: "Then how about starting next Monday?"

Ayanokoji "That's fine, isn't it?"

Ibuki: "Is running all you want to do? Or should we do some strength training too?"

Shiina: "Strength training, Ibuki-san?"

Ibuki: "Well, yeah."

Shiina: "Then please teach me."

Ibuki: "Fine, I can't say no to you anyway."

I didn't know Ibuki was doing muscle training...

I'm sure she's been training for a while now, since she studied martial arts.

We're going to start running and strength training next week.

The next day's PE class

Ishizaki: "I've got it. Ryuen-san!"

Ishizaki came with a grip strength measuring device.

Because some of the competitions that the boys participate in require pure strength.

It's simple, but it will work well as a guide.

Ryuen: "Let's start with Albert. Here you go."

Albert: "OK."

Gyuu

Ishizaki: "Oh, wow, 93.6 kilos! I'll do the next one!"

Gyuu!

Ishizaki: "Oh, 70.2 kg. That's not good enough..."

A few of us were shocked by his words.

Apparently 70.2kg is pretty strong.

After a while, all the boys finished their measurements.

Ryuen: "Hey, where are you going? You're not done."

I tried to run to Shiina and the others, but Ryuen caught me.

Ayanokoji: "..."

Ryuen: "Here, get on with it."

Ryuen handed me a measuring device.

Ayanokoji: "It can't be helped..."

Ayanokoji: "Here, I'm done. I'm leaving now."

I grabbed it with all my strength, handed it to Ryuen, and went to Shiina and the others.

Ryuen: "... error? Kuku. What kind of monstrous power does that guy have?"

Ryuen began to laugh when he saw the measuring device.

Ishizaki and the others noticed this and went to Ryuen.

Ishizaki: "Whoa! Ryuen-san, the error means... it's over 100 kilograms..."

Ryuen "Wait, the_"

Albert "Oh...Super dragon boy."

Ryuen: "Hey, wait. Who's super dragon boy?"

Kaneda: "You are number one."

Ryuen: "..."

Komiya: "You're the best Ryuen-san!

Ryuen "..."

Kondo "Amazing!"

Ryuen "That bastard...Ayanokoji!

Suddenly, a game of tag between me and Ryuen began, and the people around us just watched the chaotic scene unfold.

A few days later

Our first P.E. class was ruined by a game of tag.
From the next period, we practiced the all-participant events.
The next period, we practiced the all-athletes event, and also the recommended event at the same time.

The other classes practiced during HR and recess, but Ryuen didn't force us to go that far.

. ...

4:30 A.M.

~

I wake up to the alarm on my cell phone.

Recently, I have been exercising early in the morning with Shiina and Ibuki.

I brushed my teeth, changed into my sportswear, and headed for the lobby.

Ibuki: "Huh~... Good morning."

Ayanokoji: "Good morning."

As I was talking with Ibuki, Shiina arrived.

Shiina: "Good morning..."

Ayanokoji "Good morning."

Shiina: "Let's go "

I went outside and stretched lightly before starting my run.

Shiina: "The sun is starting to rise!"

Ayanokoji "Yes it has."

Ibuki: "Shiina is getting pretty strong, isn't she?"

At first Shiina couldn't keep up with Ibuki's pace, but now she can run at the same pace.

Shiina: "Hmm, it's thanks to the two of you keeping me company."

Ibuki: "That's good. Then, let's increase the pace a little more."

...
...

After about 30 minutes of running, we returned to the dormitory.

Shiina: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll see you at school."

Ibuki: "See you later."

Ayanokoji: "See you later."

I left them and went back to my room to take a shower.

After taking a shower, I made breakfast and started getting ready for school.

Some took their practice seriously, others joked around, but finally there were only three days left until the sports festival.

After getting Sudo's order of participation and the combination list for Class A, Ryuen decided on the combination for Class B and told his classmates. . . .

The opening of the sports festival, which is going to be a long day.

Finally, the day has come.

Chapter 14 Sports Festival

The Day of the Sports Festival

Fujimaki of Class 3A announced the opening of the event, and the sports festival began.

The tents were set up so that the competing red and white teams were facing each other across the track.

It looks like we can't make contact except during the competition.

Hiyori: "Look at that. There's even a camera set up for judging!"

A camera is at the finish line in preparation for the first 100-meter run.

Ibuki: "It's to avoid misjudgments.They are doing a good job."

Ayanokoji: "Yeah, I guess."

Hiyori: "Ayanokoji-kun, Please do your best!"

Ayanokoji: "Thank you Hiyori. I'll do my best."

The first year boys and I immediately went to the field for the competition.

All the events, such as the 100-meter run, were to be held in order from first-year students.

Ishizaki: "Ayanokoji! win!"

Komiya: "I'm nervous for you."

Ishizaki and the others cheered for me.

"Don't overwhelm them. Win by a narrow margin."

I remembered Ryuuen's words.

I don't know...

I've had to take on some troublesome things lately because he trusts me for some reason.

Sudo: "Ayanokoji . It's good to see you.!"

Sudo, who was standing next to me, called out to me.

I returned his greeting lightly and got into a crouching start position.

The signal fired and match started.

At the beginning, he was in front, but I gradually increased my speed and overtook him just before the goal.

As instructed, I won just in time.

The moment I crossed the finish line, a huge cheer went up.

...

.

...

Shiina: "Thank you for your hard work, Ayanokoji-kun. You were so cool."

Ibuki: "That's great! Congratulations!"

When I came back, I was greeted by the two of them.

Ayanokoji: "Thank you, you two."

Ibuki: "It's almost Ryuen's turn."

Ryuen was in the third group.

Ayanokoji: "kastsuragi and kanzaki are in the same group"

It's another interesting pairing.

The first place went to Ryuuen, and the second place went to Kanzaki, Katsuragi ended up in fourth place.

Ryuuen comes back.

Ryuuen: "Kuku. Hey Ayanokoji, you stood out, didn't you?"

Ayanokoji: "Congratulations on your first place."

Ryuuen: "That sound like sarcasm coming from you."

Ayanokoji "There was one missing in your group, who was it?"

Ryuuen: "It was Koenji. I knew that bastard wouldn't show up."

Koenji's absence.

It's a double blow to the D class.

Well, I guess it doesn't matter to us B class.

After all the boys had finished running, it was the girls' turn.

What was worth watching was the close race between Horikita and Ibuki.

Ibuki lost by a narrow margin.

She looked so disappointed...

After the 100-meter run, it was time for the next event.

The second event was the hurdles.

Sudo and I were supposed to start in the last group.

Hmm?

Ryuuen is in the same group as Katsuragi again.

He'll probably be in the same group as Katsuragi for the rest of the competition.

I'm sure Katsuragi won't like it..

After a while, it was my turn to compete.

As before, I took the first place by a small margin.

Sudo: "Damn. Second place again!"

After the second event, we moved on to the next event.

The third event was "Bo-taoshi"

This is a rough and dangerous team competition.

The rule of the game is that the first group to take down the pole wins.

I can hear Sudo inspiring his friends over there.

Shibata: "Hey Ryuuen. Who is going to take offense and defense?"

Ryuuen: "Kuku. You guys take care of the defense. I'll make sure to beat them."

Shibata: "Haha. I'd be scared of you if you were my enemy, but right now you're my reliable ally. Leave the defense to us!"

The two of them decided the defense and offense by themselves.

Well, no matter how you look at it, we're a class that specializes in offense...

In the first game, it seemed that Class A would be defending the pole.

Ryuuen: "Ishizaki. Go on a suicide mission and clear the way. Kicking and punching a little won't be a problem. Albert, take care of the pole."

Ishizaki: "Understood!"

Albert: "OK."

Ryuuen gave the instructions, and the spirits were high.

As soon as it start, they all start running at once.

Ayanokoji: "Oh, really..."

Ryuuen...

You're kicking and punching people without a care in the world.

Albert reached the pole, and it began to tilt.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Sudo was doing his best alone, but the defense of the C class was strong and he was unable to defeat them.

In the meantime, Albert knocked down the pole and the white team won first.

Ishizaki: "Yes!"

Albert: "Yes!"

Komiya: "Albert is the strongest!"

I felt sorry for the boys in class A when I saw them.

Some of them were running away to avoid getting caught...

A few minutes later, we entered the second round.

This time, Class A is on offense and Class D is on defense...

It's going to be more difficult than before because of Sudo's presence.

Ryuuen: "Ayanokoji. Use Albert as a trampoline, jump on the pole, and go ahead and knock it down with your force."

Ayanokoji: "...Will it go that well?"

Ryuuen: "Kuku. Leave Sudo to me."

You're up to something...

He got a really bad look on his face.

Dose he always have this face?

Ryuuen: "Albert, be his trampoline."

Albert: "OK."

Right after the start, everyone starts running with Ryuuen in the lead.

When Albert gets a good position, I go in too.

Ayanokoji: "I'm sorry, Albert. I'll borrow your shoulder."

Albert: "Don't worry about it"

I use Albert as a trampoline and jump onto the pole.

Sudo: "Hey! Drag that guy down. aah, who punched me in the stomach!"

Ryuuen: "Kuku. You shut the fuck up."

Sudo: "...you bastard! aah⁉︎"

As Sudo collapsed, his support became ineffective, and the pole collapsed.

We won the second round as well.

Sudo: "That's a foul!."

Sudo gets mad and grabs ryuuen by the chest.

Hirata: "Sudo-kun! Calm down!"

Hirata appeases him.

Sudo: "But!"

Hirata: "I understand how you feel, but it's going to cause a scene. Hold it down here!"

Sudo: "Damn. It's not going to go same in other competitions."

And with that, he was gone.

As he left, ryuuen eyes met Hirata's for a moment.

Hirata seemed to have noticed that Sudo was the target.

Ryuuen: "Kuku. Good job you guys."

Ryuuen gave his compliments to his classmates for their hard work, and we returned to the tent.

Next up was the first-year girls' ball-throwing competition.

The result was a victory for the red team.

Without a break, we moved on to the next competition.

The next event was "Tug of War".

The referee called us in and began to explain the rules.

The rules were the same as for the pole, the first one to win two games would win.

Ryuuen: "Hey you guys. When I give you the signal, take your hands off at once. Understood?"

Ishizaki: "What do you mean?"

Ryuuen "Kuku. If the power is suddenly weakened, the opponent will fall in a big way. Maybe some of them will get hurt."

Ishizaki: "That's great. Ryuuen-san!"

Ayanokoji: "..demon"

Shibata: "...asshole."

Kanzaki: "...Dirty bastard."

Following me, Shibata and Kanzaki, who were standing next to him listening to the conversation, were muttering similar things.

The first round began, and at Ryuen's signal, we all let go of our ropes at once.

Just as Ryuuen had planned, the students of the red class flipped over backwards in a big way.

Laughter could be heard from the tent seats.

Sudo: "You guys! Play a serious game!"

Sudo's shout could be heard.

Ryuuen: "Kuku. The monkey is pissed. Now, all of you get serious about all the rest of the competitions."

Classmate: "Yeah!"

The white team won the tug-of-war.

Sudo was lashing out at his ungrateful classmates.

Tent

Ishizaki and his friends came back to the tent.

Ishizaki: "This is the last obstacle race, isn't it?"

Komiya: "The last one in which Ayanokoji is going to participate."

Kondo: "Wow, Shibata and Sudo are his opponents..."

Ishizaki: "It's a battle to watch! Ryuuen-san."

Ryuuen: "The first place is already decided. It's a boring match."

Ishizaki: "I see..."

The signal.

Komiya: "Whoa! This is a close game!

Ayanokoji, Sudo, and Shibata played a close game, and the surroundings were also very hyped.

Ibuki: "That guy, he's cutting corners...?"

Hiyori: "What?"

Ibuki: "He looks at Sudo sometimes, doesn't he, Ayanokoji?"

Hiyori: "...I didn't notice. If that's the case, he's even faster!"

Ibuki: "It must be awful for Sudo, who's always get passed in the last moment..."

Hiyori: "Perhaps Ryuuen-kun instructed him to do so. They've been in the same group for a while now.'

Ibuki: "I guess."

Hiyori: "Ayanokoji-kun has overtaken the two of them "

Ayanokoji continued to overtake the two, and crossed the finish line in first place.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Ishizaki and the others seemed to be even more fired up after seeing Ayanokoji's performance.

50-minute lunch break.

Lunch break

As I head into the school, I meet Sato and Matsushita.

Sato: "Hey! Ayanokoji-kun!"

Matsushita: "You're very amazing. I've been watching you!"

Ayanokoji: "Sato and Matsushita, It's been a while."

Sato: "Yes, it has. You should have dinner with us!

Matsushita: "That sounds great! I like that!

They pulled me by the hand.

Hey, hey...

I don't want you to do that because the stares around me are intense.

"Do you have a minute?"

They took me and I was heading somewhere when someone called me from behind.

Matsushita: "I believe you're from class A... Kamuro-san?"

The person who called out to me was a student named Kamuro.

Kamuro: "Can I borrow Ayanokoji for a minute?"

Ayanokoji: "Me? What's going on?"

kamuro "I need to talk to you. Follow me."

After saying that,Kamuro leaves.

Sato: "What was that about..."

Matsushita: "Well..."

Ayanokoji: "I'll go for now. Sorry, you two."

Sato: "What? Oh, no..."

Matsushita: "Well, it can't be helped. See you later, Ayanokoji-kun!"

Ayanokoji: "Yeah. See you later."

I parted ways with them and decided to go after Kamuro.

Kamuro: "...was that a bad timing?"

Ayanokoji: "Oh no, I honestly wanted to get out of there. Thanks for the help."

Kamuro: "Yeah. I'm Masumi Kamuro. You don't have to remember me, though."

Ayanokoji: "Oh, I see. By the way, where are we headed?"

Kamuro: "The special building."

Are you avoiding people's eyes?

It doesn't seems like Kamuro herself has any business with me...

.

...

When I arrived at the special building, there was a girl waiting for me.

I'm pretty sure she's... Sakayanagi Arisu.

She's the other leader of Class A.

what do you want from me...?

Kamuro: "Can I go now?"

Sakayanagi: "Yes. Thank you for your hard work, Masumi-san. I look forward to working with you again."

Kamuro: "..."

Nodding quietly, Kamuro left.

Facing Sakayanagi...

Special Building

For a while, me and Sakayanagi were staring at each other.

Sakayanagi: "You did a great job in the all-participant event, didn't you? Kiyotaka Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "What's wrong with that? and besides why did you call me."

Sakayanagi: " I wanted to have a little chat with you."

Ayanokoji: "I see. I've been wanting to talk to you once too."

Sakayanagi: "I see. May I ask why?"

Ayanokoji: "Because Ryuuen said that you were the only person in our year that he is wary of. I was curious as to what kind of person you were."

Sakayanagi: "Are you and Ryuuen-kun are on good terms?"

Ayanokoji: "I guess."

Sakayanagi: "Hmm. I'm jealous of you."

Ayanokoji: "So, what do you want to talk about?"

Sakayanagi: "Watching you run, I remembered something. I called you up because I wanted to share something with you. It's like a confession."

Sakayanagi approaches me with a cane.

Ayanokoji: "...Eh?"

Sakayanagi: "Long time no see, Ayanokoji-kun, it's been 8 years and 243 days."

Ayanokoji "I'm sorry. Have we met somewhere before? I don't remember you at all, but..."

Sakayanagi: "I'm sure you don't because I'm the only one who knows you."

Did Sakayanagi and I meet eight years ago...?

Eight years ago, we must have been in that facility.

It's not possible for her to know.

No way... are you a dropout?

No, that's not it.

Sakayanagi: "White Room"

Ayanokoji "⁉︎"

When the words were muttered, I became slightly flustered.

My suspicions of why and how spread.

Sakayanagi: "It's not nice, is it? that the other person know who you are."

Ayanokoji: "...You..."

Sakayanagi: "No wonder. You don't know me. But I do know you. This is also a strange fate, I guess. I can't believe I'm meeting you again in a place like this. To be honest, I thought I would never see you again."

Ayanokoji: "Are you the daughter of someone involved...? You've been watching from behind the glass, haven't you?"

Sakayanagi: "You are a the greatest Ayanokoji-kun. Yes. My father is acquainted with your father, and I have visited that facility.

Ayanokoji: "I see. So, what is your goal in the end?"

Sakayanagi: "I am the one who deserves the role of burying the false genius..."

False genius, huh...

Ayanokoji: "Does that mean you're declaring war?"

Sakayanagi: "Yes. You can take it that way."

Ayanokoji: "You said you were going to bury me, but can you do it?"

Sakayanagi: "... hmm."

After a small laugh, Sakayanagi laughed once more.

Sakayanagi: "Hmmm. I'm sorry, I laughed. But I didn't mean to insult your statement. I know very well how great you are. Now I'm looking forward to it. Only by destroying your father's masterpiece will I be able to fulfill my longing."

A longing, huh?

Ayanokoji: "I see."

Then I'll look forward to it too.

My own defeat will directly lead to the defeat of that man.

Sakyanagi: Well, shall we head back soon? We won't have time to have lunch."

Ayanokoji: "I suppose so."

Sakayanagi: "...If you don't mind, would you like to join us?"

Ayanokoji "Where are we going to eat? I was thinking of going to the cafeteria."

Sakayanagi: "I've made a lunch box. If you like, I can share it with you, Ayanokoji-kun?"

Ayanokoji: "...Is that okay?"

Sakayanagi: "Yes. I want to be friends with you beside our match."

Ayanokoji: "I see. But where do you want to eat?"

Sakayanagi: "Please wait a moment."

Then she started to make a phone call.

Apparently, she was going to ask Kamuro to bring her lunch from the classroom.

Sakayanagi: "Let's use the spare room there."

Ayanokoji: "Kamuro is your friend?"

Sakayanagi: "Not at all. I've learned Masumi's secret. I'm asking her to take care of me in exchange for keeping my mouth shut."

In other words, you've seized her weakness and made her your pawn.

A few moments later, Kamuro came in.

kamuro: "Your are rough with people as always."

Sakayanagi: " Thank you very much. Masumi-san. Now, let's go into that room over there."

Kamuro: "Eh? Me too?"

Sakayanagi: "Yes. Lets talk"

Reluctantly, but Kamuro obeyed honestly.

So much for being vulnerable...

It's a pity.

I went into the room.

Ayanokoji: "A stacked box... is Sakayanagi a pretty good eater?"

A lunch box is spread out with a quantity of food that I don't think can be eaten by one person.

Sakayanagi: "Actually, I was planning to have Masumi-san and the students who are working for me eat it too."

Kamuro "Eh? So it's okay for me to eat too?"

Sakayanagi: "Yes. Please enjoy your meal."

Kamuro, who was fiddling with her cell phone in the corner of the room, sat down next to me.

Kamuro: "Itadakimasu. ..."

Sakayanagi is smiling at the scene.

What is this situation?

I've just had a light declaration of war, and now I'm sitting around a lunchbox with that person.

Sakayanagi: "Is it not to your taste? Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji: "No, it's very good. Thank you."

Sakayanagi: " I'm glad.

Kamuro: "Hey. Can I ask you something?"

Sakayanagi: "Yes, what is it?"

Kamuro: "What kind of relationship do you two have? Did you know each other?"

Sakayanagi: "Well... childhood friends, I guess."

Kamuro: "Really? That's why you called him. Didn't you notice him until just now?"

Sakayanagi: "I haven't had many opportunities to interact, so..."

Kamuro "I see. You weren't there when we were cruising, were you?"

I see.

Kamuro "By the way, Ayanokoji, you're amazing, aren't you? You've always been in first place."

Ayanokoji "Were you watching?"

Kamuro: "I am not saying that I was watching you, or rather there was a commotion in the red team."

Ayanokoji: "Really?"

Kamuro: "Is it Ryuen's plan?"

Ayanokoji "Yeah. He is trageting Sudo."

Kamuro: "...I knew it?"

Sakayanagi: "That's the kind of move Ryuuen-kun likes."

Ayanokoji: "You guys also leaked the participation list to Ryuuen, didn't you?"

Sakayanagi: "As expected."

Ayanokoji: "How is the faction warfare going so far?"

Sakayanagi: "It seems that only a few students will follow Katsuragi-kun after this festival. I'll be the leader soon, so please look forward to it "

kumaro: "Ayanokoji do something about her. I'm being used quite a bit..."

Ayanokoji: "Do something?"

Kamuro: "You've known her since childhood, right?"

Ayanokoji: "Well, I guess.."

Sakayanagi: "Hmm. You can't do that, Masumi-san or else."

Kamuro: "Yeah, yeah I understood..."

Ayanokoji: "The break should be over soon."

Kamuro: "That's true."

Sakayanagi: "I'm looking forward for our match. Ayanokoji-kun."

Ayanokoji "I guess."

Sakayanagi: "Oh, why don't we exchange contact information?"

Ayanokoji: "Okay."

Sakayanagi: "Please register Masumi-san's information as well."

Kamuro "Eh?"

Sakayanagi: "Just in case, you know."

Kamuro "Okay. Here, take my cell phone."

I got the contact information for Sakayanagi and Kamuro.

Ayanokoji: "I'm going to go now. "

I parted ways with the two and headed for the white team's tent.

The second half of the sports festival began.

It was time for the nomination competition.

Ishizaki: "Come on, let's go, you guys!"

Shiina: "I'm looking forward to it!"

Ibuki: "I hope we don't get any weird ones..."

I hope I don't get anything weird.

The order is

Ryuuen, Shiina, Ishizaki, Ibuki, and me.

The first group started.

Ryuuen went towards D class.

He seemed to be calling for Horikita, but...

It's seems he has been rejected.

What is the theme?

Now he's running towards us.

Ryuuen: "Ibuki, come on."

Ibuki: "What? What is the theme?"

Ryuuen: "It's 'Favorite Girl'. Hurry up."

(laughs)

Hiyori and Ishizaki started laughing.

Ryuuen: "Come on, Ibuki, hurry up."

Ibuki: "I really don't like this..."

She reluctantly followed Ryuuen as he said this, and it seems that he managed to take first place.

More importantly, is Horikita, is she his type?

And then there's Ibuki...

Does that mean he's into strong-willed girls?

Well, they're both beautiful.

That's an interesting thing to know.

I'll make fun of you next time.

.

.

The first group finished, and the second group was about to start.

Hiyori came running towards me.

Shiina: "Ayanokoji-kun. Can you do me a favor?"

Her face is a little red.

Ayanokoji: "What is the theme?"

Shiina: "'Good friends with the opposite sex (holding hands)' /"

Wait, wait, what do you mean (hold hands)?

I didn't hear that additional rule.

It's written like it was added later...

Ayanokoji: "Then let's hold hands?"

Shiina: "Yes/"

Ayanokoji: "Shall we go?"

Shiina: "I'm embarrassed/"

What kind of cute creature is this...

Some of the boys booed.

I attracted a lot of attention, but I managed to finish the race.

The result was third place.

...

The third group started.

This time it was Ishizaki.

He was heading for the white tent.

He seems to be demanding something.

Was Ishizaki theme is a thing?

Albert hands him a bunch of bananas.

What an interesting sight.

Ishizaki crossed the finish line with a bunch of bananas.

The result was second place.

The theme was "Fruit."

...

The fourth group started.

Ibuki was coming towards me.

Ibuki: "Ryuuen, take off your shoes."

Ryuuen: "Kuku. What is the theme?"

Ibuki shows him a piece of paper.

"Shoes of the opposite sex you hate."

Ryuuen: "Kuku."

Ibuki: "Shut the kuku up and give it."

Ryuen: "Here you go."

Ryuuen hands her the shoes.

Ibuki grabbed a bit of the tip of the laces as if she was touching something dirty.

Don't worry, Ryuuen...

Ibuki was in first place.

Finally, the last race.

It was now my turn.

I went to the place where the task was and turned to the paper.

"Carry your class leader like a princess."

Hey!

That's crazy!

Ayanokoji: "Shit!"

I head for Ryuuen.

Ryuuen: "Oh? What is it, Ayanokoji?"

I shut up and show him the theme.

Ibuki and the others started laughing.

Ryuuen: "Kuku. Come on, lift me, we are going to miss out on first place."

I don't know why you're having fun in this situation...

Ayanokoji: "..."

I lifted Ryuuen up and took him like a princess.

A storm of laughter erupted from the surroundings as I started running

I can also hear the screams of the girls.

It's hell...

Sudo's theme was 'favorite girl'.

He spent a lot of time trying to convince Horikita, so I managed to finish first.

Nagumo: "haha. That was a masterpiece, both of you."

I was approached by Nagumo, who was also a participant.

Ryuuen: "Was it you?

Ayanokoji: "..."

Nagumo: "I knew you two would be there. I had the details worked out."

Apparently, it was Nagumo's harassment...

Okay, I'll give this guy a hard time later.

.

.

Then, the scavenger hunt of the 2nd and 3rd years started.

Tachibana: "Ayanokoji-kun!"

While I was sitting on the ground watching the scavenger hunt, Akane Tachibana came over.

Ayanokoji: "What's wrong?"

Tachibana shows me the subject.

"A junior colleague. I'm interested in."

Ayanokoji: "Eh... me?"

I think it should be someone like Nagumo from the same student council there...?

Ryuuen: "Kuku. You're really popular, Ayanokoji."

Ishizaki: "Hey, hey, what do that mean, Ayanokoji!"

I think you misunderstood something...

Hiyori and Ibuki looked at me with the same eyes.

Tachibana: "Just come!"

Tachibana took me by the hand and took me away.

We went straight to the goal, and Tachibana came in first.

then she ran away with embarrassment..

I decided to go back for now.

...

The scavenger hunt finally came to the last group.

It seems that Horikita manabu will be participating.

He froze when he saw the subject.

And for some reason, he looks at Nagumo.

That guy...

It looks like he was setting things up again.

Manabu went towards his sister and unexpectedly carried her on his back to the goal.

According to Nagumo, the challenge is to give a piggyback ride to your sibling (or your favorite member of the opposite sex if you don't have one).

Wow...

The people around me were crowing.

But to me, knowing the relationship between those two, it looked like hell...

Nagumo and Ryuuen are laughing.

Horikita face turned red, and Sudo was sad.

The scavenger hunt that had been hellish was coming to an end.

The 1,200-meter relay, the closing event of the sports festival, was about to begin.

The hype in the atmospher was rising to it's highest level.

Ishizaki: "It's finally the last event! Please do your best, Ryuuen-san!"

Ishizaki: "Komiya, Ayanokoji. You guys should do your best too!"

Ishizaki and my classmates cheered me on.

We participants headed for the ground.

Ryuuen: "You guys. It doesn't matter if they are in the second or third year, we're going for first place. We're going to beat them."

Everyone nodded deeply at Ryuen's words.

We went to our respective positions.

Nagumo: "Oh, Ayanouji is an anchor too. It's going to be interesting!"

Huh... I got tangled up with a troublesome guy at the last minute.

Manabu: "I lost in the volleyball game, but we're going to win this time."

Horikita brother is very competitive.

Ayanokoji: "I'm looking forward to the confrontation between the student body president and vice president."

Nagumo: "What are you talking about, you're going to participate too right?"

Ayanokoji "Yeah..."

Nagumo: "Well, I'm going for the win, though. I'm looking forward to it."

With that, he left.

Hmm? It seems Horikita is also an anchors.

Manabu: "Suzune, huh? It looks like you're doing your best."

Suzune: "Yes. I haven't been able to achieve any results, but I'll continue to work hard together with the rest of the class."

Manabu: "I see"

...

...

Hey, that's it?

Tell him something more...

I couldn't take the awkwardness anymore, so I left them.

Don!

Ayanokoji: "Sorry, are you okay?"

Shibata: "I'm fine. Ayanokoji! Are you the anchor?"

The person I bumped into was Shibata.

Ayanokoji: "Nice to meet you."

Shibata: "So, Ayanokoji is my opponent..."

Ayanokoji: "...You don't like it?"

Shibata: "You B-classes have helped us a lot, but I still want to win."

Ayaonokoji: "I see."

While I was talking with the students who were participating in the race, Ryuuen and the others took their starting positions.

The signal and go _

The first runner started running.

Shibata: "Whoa! Those two are so fast!"

Those two are probably ryuuen and Sudo.

Sudo was running in the lead, and Ryuuen was catching up.

Even the second and third years were not far behind.

The baton went to the second runner.

Kinoshita, too, showed a nimble drive and kept her second place.

The baton was passed to the third runner.

At this point, Yajima was overtaken by a student from the 2nd year A class, and took 3rd place.

It seemed that he could not win against nagumo's team.

One position down, the baton was passed to Komiya.

He was able to overtake the D class, but was overtaken by Kanzaki of B class, who was gradually closing the gap, and maintained 3rd place.

The 3rd year A class had dropped the baton while pass and was losing positions.

The baton passed to the fifth runner.

Nagumo: "I guess we won this race, Horikita-senpai. I would have liked to run a close race if I could but its impossible now."

Its true.

Nagumo: "It looks like we are going to win the overall score as well and its the dawn of the new era."

Manabu: "Are you really going to change this school?"

Nagumo: "The student council up until now has been too uninteresting. The student council has been too fixated on preserving tradition. The rules were so lax that no one was expelled. I don't think that's necessary anymore. So I'm just going to make a new rule. The ultimate meritocratic school.

After saying that, he slowly started walking.

My eyes met with Nagumo's.

Nagumo: "If you can catch up with me, do your best Ayanokoji!"

The baton passed to Nagumo and he started running.

Not long after the baton was passed to shibata

Ibuki: "Ayanokoji!"

Ibuki comes in late.

"If you want to catch up with me, then do your best ayanokoji."

I remember what he said to me.

Today was fun.

I guess this is what they call youth.

There was no way I could learn this in that facility.

I thanked Matsuo in my heart.

I received the baton from Ibuki.

Miyabi Nagumo...

I've heard that he's quite skilled.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to try fighting him sometime.

Besides, _

It's also not a bad idea to give Nagumo a shot at Ryuuen to help him grow...

I ran out as fast as I could.

Shibata: "He's gonna⁉︎"

As I passed him, Shibata let out a sound of surprise, but was left behind by the wind.

From then on, no cheers could be heard.

No strategy, no wits, only raw strenght.

I caught up with Nagumo, and we went head-to-head.

Across the straight and into the final curve.

What's going on?

What are you surprised about?

Come on, let's accelerate even faster. _

A loud cheer echoed through the ground.

Ibuki: "... you were super fast."

After finishing the competition, the members of the 1200 meter run came running up to me.

Ayanokoji: "It's thanks to Ibuki that we got first place."

Ibuki: "What? You're the one who's been cutting corners!"

Kinoshita: "You're really fast, Ayanokoji-kun! You should join the track and field team!"

Ayanokoji: "I dont plan to join any clubs, Kinoshita. I'm sorry."

Ryuuen: "Kuku. That face of Nagumo's was a masterpiece."

Ayanokoji: "That's right..."

We passed Nagumo and won first place.

Many of the people who finished the race were looking at us curiously.

When we returned to the tent, I was greeted with applause from my classmates.

Hiyori: "Thank you all for your hard work. Ayanokoji-kun. You were so cool "

Ishizaki: "Hey! It looks like the results are about to be announced. Let's go!"

Finally, the results were announced.

All the students turned their attention to the giant electronic board.

"Now, I would like to announce the results of the winners and losers of this year's sports festival. _

The numbers on the electronic bulletin board, divided into red and white groups, began to count, and the numbers continued to increase.

The total number of points earned in all 13 events.

"Next, the overall scores by class were announced."

All twelve classes were divided into three sections, and the scores for each class were displayed at once.

We didn't care about the breakdown of the second and third years.

What everyone was interested in was their own class.

1st place, 1st year B class

2nd place, 1st year C class

3rd place, 1st year D class

4th place, 1st year A class

Ishizaki: "Well, of course!"

"Lastly, I would like to announce the top performers by year level.

The first year's top prize goes to Class B, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji and Ryuuen.

That's what was displayed on the electronic bulletin board.

Ishizaki: "Oh, wow! You did it, Ryuuen-san!"

Hiyori: "You did it too, Ayanokoji-kun!

By the way, the two of us were also chosen as the best athletes of the entire school year, and our private points ended up being enriched.

...

.

...

On the way home

kiryuin: "Congratulations, Ayanokoji. That was brilliant."

I got out of the crowd and was walking by myself when kiryuin called out to me.

Ayanokoji: "Were you observing, kiryuin-senpai...?"

Kiryuin: "Yeah but when I saw the final game, I regretted that I should have participated in it.

Ayanokoji "I see."

Kiryuin: "I'd like to fight you someday."

Ayanokoji: "You want to fight me after seeing that, does that mean you're pretty good too?"

kiryuin "I don't know. We'll see. See you later, Ayanokoji. Let's have a date soon.

That's what she said, and then she left.

A date...

After that, I ended up getting caught by various students...

To be continued...
