Season 2 Episode 13
At the dorms, A recovered Ibuki was seen waiting outside someone's dorm and an answer from a phone call she made but soon cancelled it. "5 times I've called him and no response? What's he doing?" She asked herself as she banged on the door several times. No answer also, "Where the hell did he go at this hour?"
It then cuts to the boulevard as a recovered Ryuuen is in the midst of his walk. He has a bandage on his nose and 2 white patches on his face. One is large and square located on his left cheek and the other is rectangular and located beside his mouth on his right side. He heaved a sigh as he looked up at the sky. December has arrived and the air is cold so expect snowfall to occur soon.
And then, "Found you! Are you planning to drop out or something?" Ibuki asked as she catch her breath from running around looking for her leader. He then turned around to face and unexpectedly threw his handphone to her as it landed right onto her hands leaving her bewildered.
"Take my points." He told her and she's more bewildered. "It was my mistake and it's my responsibility."
"No...you said before that no matter how many times you lose, the one who wins in the end is the strongest." Ibuki refused and tried to talked some sense into him. "That's how you and Albert-"
"So what?" Ryuuen couldn't care less as, "You're now saying this is the end of it?" Ibuki asked in anger. "What happened to you?! You're so different now! Like as if you lost all hope to lead Class C!"
"A tyrant's reign is only permitted as long as his authority serves some purpose." He replied and walked away from her. But Ibuki's not finished and grabbed onto the sleeve of his jacket. "If you wanna quit, then you'll have to fight me first!"
"Your grip is weak. Because of your injuries? If I were you, you leave me out and rest your body until you're fully recovered." Ryuuen replied but Ibuki just took action as a front kick sent Ryuuen onto the pathway. "Who said I was still injured? I'm already fine and you didn't even try to roll with that hit!"
After saying that, she threw back his phone. "Quit if you want to! I'm so damn disappointed in you!" Ibuki then stormed off as Ryuuen just stood up and resumed his walk.
And hiding behind one of the trees, "Ryuuen still has his usefulness. A great addition to my tools." Ayanokouji observed as he sipped his canned coffee.
Meanwhile in one of the dorms...
"Something's changed..." Honami spoke to herself and she's awake. "Ayanokouji Kiyotaka...a boy of few words and even with hidden abilities yet to be revealed. But on that day, he's totally different, deep down when I witnessed it." She continued to think about him as she sat up on her bed. "We helped each other in some situations and even saved me and Karuizawa-san..." She then gasped and blushed a bit. "I regarded him as a great and best friend! But at some point, what if I'm suddenly feeling it in my heart...my heart for..." And then, her blush became redder like a tomato. It did earn that teasing nickname and she ended up screaming to herself while outside, Ayanokouji threw his canned coffee can in the bin.
Meanwhile in a cafe...
"A date? For real Satou-san? Especially with Kiyo-I mean, Ayanokouji-kun?!" A startled Karuizawa asked as the 2 girls had breakfast together. Both of them had pancakes with butter and maple syrup with 2 slices of buttered toast sliced into half, triangular shape and a cup of coffee.
"Totally! So I was wondering if you had any...you know, secrets of success?" Satou asked making her more startled. "You know, like how you and Hirata-kun started dating 3 weeks after school started!"
"W-Well sure! It's not a big deal, though..." Karuizawa replied as she ate a small piece of pancake.
"No it's super awesome! I'm even super in awe of you!" Satou replied and she's more excited as Karuizawa felt a bit uncomfortable about Ayanokouj being brought up to her. "Why him though...and I wanted to help-"
"By the way, it's totally amateur but I worked out a date plan. Could I get a feedback from your perspective?" Satou then took out some notebook revealing her date plan as Karuizawa read through when, "Under a legendary tree...ask him to be your boyfriend?!" She could not believe her eyes as, "Satou-san wants to go exclusive?! After one date?! And where's this legendary tree?!" She thought as Satou twirled her hair a bit. "By the way...when's the date?"
"In 2 days. On December 25th, Christmas Day." She replied as she bit into her toast. "That was so intense! And what's Kiyotaka gonna think when taking her up on it?!" Karuizawa thought still feeling surprised. "But it's better than a Christmas Eve date, I guess..."
"Karuizawa-san, are you thinking of something?" Satou asked.
"N-No! I'm fine and leave it to me! I'll totally punch up your date plan I promise!"
"Honto?! Arigato Karuizawa-san!" Satou thanked her.
"W-Well, I'm pretty used to that kind of thing!" She replied and also thought of this. "Though I've never been on an honest-to-goodness date...but if she's sincerely asking for my help, I should sincerely give it."
"Oh, also...what do think of a double date?" Satou asked showing her 2 fingers indicating the number 2 for double and that left her completely astonished.
That night...
Karuizawa is in bed tired but still awake. "Kiyotaka...I wonder if you're trying to figure out if Satou-san is someone you can use or not? Or...are you there for the romance? But...what about Ichinose-san? How will I-"
That's when her handphone rang and she answered it. "Is anyone there with you?"
"N-No...Kiyotaka. I'm in my room all by myself." She replied.
"There's something I'd like you to look into." He requested and she's sort of dismayed. "What the heck!? I thought you were done with asking me and stuff, or whatever. But still, what you do want me to look into?"
"Satou." He replied and she could not believe her ears. "I want to know who she hangs out with and what she does on a normal day. And if possible, her personality, hobbies and personal references like favourite food, music, etc."
"Ah I can't do that! We hang out with different cliques." Karuizawa refused but, "Send me the details via email." Ayanokouji then ended the call and she's annoyed. "I never got the chance to call him a jerk! Ugh...so stupid! I guess he wants some pre-date info so that he can make sure it goes well. Maybe he likes her or he plans to use her as he has used me?" Apparently it was too much to think so she went to bed. But also, "Back to my thoughts before that call, how will I ever help Ichinose-san be with him? I know for sure they are perfect for each other but with the upcoming double date, it might be hard if ever she sees us..."
The next day...
Ayanokouji is seen exiting the dorms for Keyaki Mall. "This morning, I asked Horikita to meet me at the mall for I have a lot to talk about to her." As he walked to the boulevard, "Ayanokouji!" He looked behind to see Kanzaki with his serious expression. "Kanzaki?" He asked as he approached him and once near, he suddenly got on his knees bowing down to him. "What's the meaning of this?"
"All of Class B has heard of what happened to Ichinose. How Class C tried to harm her and how you swooped in and saved her. For that, on behalf of Class B, I want to express our gratitude." He replied as he got up. "Ayanokouji. If there's anything you need or want, you can ask us anything. Even if you want to transfer to our class, we can arrange!"
"That's not necessary. I know you want to repay me and I appreciate it. However, I do not need anything and I just want to simply enjoy my school life as much as I can." Ayanokouji replied.
"Then how will we repay you?" Kanzaki asked. "Surely we can't just ignore your actions and idly take it for granted."
"In the first place, Honami told the class everything?" He asked. Kanzaki nodded. "Without your interference, who knows what Ryuuen would do to her...it could have been worse...we were also worried because on that day, we were suppose to have a class gathering and she never came."
"Naruhoto..." Ayanokouji then thought a bit. "Will the offer remain open?"
"Yes. Anytime you want something, just look for us. The offer will also remain open for next year and the final year." Kanzaki replied. "Then that's all I need and it's enough to repay me." Ayanokouji replied and they shook hands. As he left, Kanzaki watched and also thought of this. "The more I interact with him, the more I feel like he seems familiar. Especially his surname...I feel like as if I've heard of it before..." And then, he felt hungry so he went to grab a bite to eat forgetting about what he just thought.
Soon enough...
"It's rare of you to call me out unless there's a special exam coming up." Horikita spoke to him as they had latte together. "So first, how are things between you and Kushida?" Ayanokouji asked as he took a sip of his latte.
"Normal. I tried to socialize with her at least. But you know what she's after right?" Horikita asked.
"I know but don't worry, I can handle myself." Ayanokouji replied with assurance. "Though I'll make an ultimatum regarding her."
"What do you mean?"
"Should Kushida go overboard in her schemes and attempts on me, then I'll have no choice but to deal with her in my own way and no one, not even you can stop me." Ayanokouji revealed. Horikita gasped at this. "You're not serious about...what you're gonna do?"
"I am and I will not hesitate should it happen." He replied with seriousness. "Nevertheless, you still have the time to talk with her."
"Agreed. I will open her eyes and make her come to her senses so that she won't damage our class and you." Horikita declared with determination and after that, she sipped her latte.
"Very well. Now for the main topic, you wanna join the student council Horikita?" Ayanokouji asked. That startled her as she put her cup down. "Sorry but I can't quite follow your train of thought there."
"A certain someone wants you on the student council. He believes you're ready for this important role and he's none other than your brother." He revealed.
"My brother? That seems unlikely..."
"And yet it's true. Go and check it out." Ayanokouji then took his phone and showed her the name of her older brother. "A phone call I see." Horikita thought as she took his phone. "If you lie about it, you'll pay."
"Through private points?"
"Yes. Compensation." She then called her brother and they talked about the student council role with Ayanokouji waiting by finishing his latte.
A while later, the call ended and Horikita returned his phone back to him. "How was it?" He asked.
"He said joining...would be to my benefit." She replied. "But...I can't see what good joining the student council will do to me. I was never a member back in middle school unlike him..."
"Honami can guide you in the student council." Ayanokouji replied. "She can show you the ropes and you can work hand in hand with her."
"You sure about this?"
"I am. Your brother can see the change in you, the improvement in you and your growth." He replied and she remained in deep thought. "But if you feel unsure about it, I'll back off for now and give you the time you need."
"Before that, do you see that shopping on my left?" Horikita brought up and she gestured him to look down. There was indeed a shopping bag as, "For me?"
"Nii-san and I pooled our private points together." She revealed with a smile as he took out a Christmas present from it. "Omoshiroi. Thank you Horikita." He thanked her with a smile as he kept the present back and took his leave so that Horikita can ponder about the role.
But unknown to them, Kikyou eavesdropped everything from a distance and one level above. Wearing her other mask, she had a death glare on her face from the start but also, "Merry Christmas Eve!" Okay back to her other mask as she stormed off.
It then cuts to the rooftop(the same area where she confronted Ryuuen after the Paper Shuffle)as Kikyou vented out her raging anger by kicking the metal fencing. "I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU SO MUCH!" She took a breather for a minute and resumed her venting. "AYANOKOUJI KIYOTAKA...I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU AND I'LL EXPEL YOU NO MATTER WHAT! IF I HAVE TO BETRAY MY CLASS, I'LL DO IT! IF I HAVE TO BACKSTAB MY CLASSMATES, I'LL DO IT! IF I HAVE TO MAKE NUMEROUS DEALS WITH THE DEVIL, I'LL DO IT! I'LL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO EXPEL YOU FOR GOOD AND AT ANY COST! YOU THINK YOU'RE SO FRICKIN SMART HUH?! YOU THINK YOU CAN KICK ME OUT OF THIS ELITE SCHOOL!? YOU BASTARD! I'LL DESTROY YOUR SCHOOL LIFE FOR THAT!
She took a breather again and resumed her venting after a minute. "ONCE I KICK YOU OUT, I'LL EXPEL ALL MY OTHER ENEMIES ESPECIALLY HORIKITA! I DON'T EVEN GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THAT BET SHE MADE BEFORE IN THE PAPER SHUFFLE! STUPID BITCH! SHE THINKS SHE CAN SHAPE ME?! IT'S NOTHING BUT DELUSION IN HER STUBBORN HEAD! AFTER EXPELLING AYANOKOUJI, SHE'S NEXT! FOLLOWED BY ALL THOSE ON MY LIST LIKE RYUUEN, KARUIZAWA, ICHINOSE AND MANY MORE! ARGH! I HATE THEM ALL! I HATE THEM ALL SO DAMN MUCH! I WISH THEY'RE ALL DEAD AND ROTTING IN HELL!"
Kikyou sure has too much vindications and malevolence as she continued her raged venting for the next few minutes.
Evening...
Snowfall has begun as the white flakes fell everywhere blanketing the entire school slowly. "It sure is cold..." Ayanokouji spoke to himself and across him, he can see a loving couple cuddling together on the park bench while admiring the snow. "I wonder how Honami is..."
"Hey. Why'd you call me out on Christmas Eve?" He looked behind to see Ryuuen as, "I thought we could have a little chat." He replied and a small smile appeared on Ryuuen's face as he went and leaned by the railings beside him accepting the chat.
"The sabotage of the security cameras in the second gym building, "Part of the blame falls with us." Apparently, Class D put in that claim." Ryuuen stated and they kept silent for a second. He then continued on. "That means I get to stay. Are you the one that arranged that?"
"Oh? You were planning to drop out because of the cameras? I figured it was the Karuizawa thing." Ayanokouji replied.
"If I'd done that, Albert, Ibuki, Ishizaki, Komiya and Kondo would be expelled as well." said Ryuuen. "That would be a lousy way for a leader to take responsibility."
"Souka...regarding the gym...I have an addendum."
"What?" Ryuuen looked surprised as, "It was a wise decision Ryuuen. Had you been alone, you could have still hung in there and fought me. Putting on that show before surrendering had value in itself." Ayanokouji commended him as he went to sit on a nearby bench.
"Heh! I thought looking down on others was my job...but I'm retired now." Ryuuen exclaimed as he went to sit beside him. "So what's your plan for me now?"
"Plan?"
"Don't play dumb Monster. You planning to send me after the other classes. Am I right? There's no other reason you'll keep me here at this school."
"The other classes? I have no such intent."
"But don't you want to-"
"Rise in the class rankings? No. Though I don't mind the others around me doing so, of course..." Ayanokouji replied.
"So you'll just observe huh?" Ryuuen guessed.
"Actually, Class D still has an issue it needs to take care of first. If left unattended, it'll have zero chance to ascend." Ayanokouji stated.
"Kikyou right? What'cha gonna do with her?" Ryuuen asked carefully. "Treatment can keep a cancer at bay for a time, but unless it's excised, it'll never truly go away. It may even spread to other organs like poison."
"Nice implication and I already have a conclusion." Ayanokouji revealed and Ryuuen is all ears. "In the third term, Class D will ascend to Class C but it'll likely fall back to Class D because as long as she's around, things will get worse and knowing that you're most likely her target for something nefarious, there is only one option and that is...

"I'm gonna expel Kushida Kikyou."
"You're a terror to your core you know." Ryuuen chuckled but got back to his serious side. "But it's not gonna be easy. Many of our peers from our classes, Class B and A, and those in the second year and third year, they adore her a lot."
"On one hand yes but on the other hand, there are many that doubted her." Ayanokouji revealed. "During the setup incident, Ishizaki expressed his doubt about Kushida being too nice. And in the midst of the cruise ship exam, Yabu brought up the same fact regarding her at the time when Karuizawa was being harassed."
"Even if some can see through her, it's still not be easy. In fact, this year would not be a good timing also." Ryuuen stated.
"Who knows?" Ayanokouji replied as they continued to watch the snowfall.
Double Date Time...
The next day at Keyaki Mall, Ayanokouji is looking through his phone when, "Ayanokouji-kun!" A happy and cheerful Satou arrived as, "I didn't keep you waiting long, did I?"
"I just got here. I mean, the meeting time is 11:30am and I sort of woke up late..."
"Oh that's a relief, I sort of took a lot of time to get myself ready and to look um...presentable..." Satou replied looking left and right while feeling a bit flustered when, "Konnichiwa Ayanokouji and Satou." Yousuke greeted them from a distance as he and Karuizawa have arrived also.
"Karuizawa-san!" Satou greeted as, "You guys are on a date as well?" Ayanokouji asked them. "That's right." said Yousuke as Karuizawa and Satou chat with each other. "I'm also glad I get to spend the day with someone."
"I would've thought your group of friends or your soccer club peers would have invited you out." Ayanokouji brought up.
"They probably didn't want to intrude." He replied.
"Maybe. And as usual, you'll still be fake dating Karuizawa right?"
"Actually on our way to meet you guys, I talked with Kei-chan and suggested that we give it a shot for real this time."
"So it'll truly be official for you two?"
"Depends." Yousuke replied.
"I understand. Just remember not to reveal this to our class." Ayanokouji reminded him.
"Thanks. Well, we don't want to take any more of their time so let's get going!" said Yousuke as the girls looked at the boys. "Now that we just met up, wanna make this a double date?" Karuizawa asked.
"A double date?" A surprised Yousuke was not expecting that as, "Of course! You and me, and Ayanokouji-kun and Satou-san. It might be a fun change of pace!" said Karuizawa. "Well...okay." Yousuke gave his answer as, "What about you Ayanokouji-kun?" Satou asked sweetly. "If the 3 of you want to, I won't object."
"Then it's settled!" Karuizawa and Satou cheered together as the double date begins.
First, it cuts to the cinema as Ayanokouji and Satou went to buy movie tickets while Yousuke and Karuizawa went to buy some popcorn and soda.
When they gathered together, "I got us 4 movie tickets to the movie, Elemental." Satou told the group. "Kei-chan and I bought 2 medium-sized salted popcorn and 4 regular sodas." Yousuke told the group and with that, they went inside their assigned movie hall to watch the movie.
There, they sat together and watched the movie. During that, Ayanokouji caught a glimpse of Akito and Haruka seated 2 rows in front of them for the movie while Karuizawa looked around a bit hoping that Honami is not around to see this.
After the movie, they went to some Asian and Western restaurant and there, "I got reservations under my name, Satou."
"Reservations for 4? Right this way!" The waiteress guided them as, "She reserved it for 4? Impressive insight." Ayanokouji commented. "Actually, I had her do some altering on the reservation." Karuizawa revealed. "Liar. Satou did a good job in the reservation all by herself." Ayanokouji stated. "Baka...I don't wanna hear that from you..." Karuizawa whispered to herself.
A few minutes later, the 4 of them are seated with their drinks while their lunches are in the midst of preparation. While killing time, "What do you do on your free time Satou?"
"Me? Oh I look into fashion design stuff a lot I guess." Satou answered Ayanokouji's question.
"Wow I never knew that you're into that stuff Satou-san!" Karuizawa exclaimed.
"Yeah! And it'll be great if we can ascend to Class A! I mean if we can get those benefits, I can go to a fashion academy and work on some new skills in the fashion industry." She replied and turned to Ayanokouji. "What'll you do when you graduate Ayanokouji-kun?"
"Go to university I guess." He replied.
"I was also thinking the same thing!" Yousuke spoke up as Satou chat with the boys. As for Karuizawa, she just remain silent but also on a lookout in case Honami appears.
After lunch, the group checked out a gift shop and there, Satou bought Ayanokouji a Christmas gift which is a rubix cube while he bought her a book about fashion as her Christmas gift. Karuizawa also bought Yousuke a Christmas gift which is a stressball in the form of a soccer ball which he took a liking and in return, he bought her a stuffed bunny as her Christmas gift.
After the time spent together...
Outside the mall, the couples split up with Yousuke and Karuizawa still remaining in their spot. "How was it today Yousuke-kun?"
"I had fun Kei-chan. This date was enjoyable."
"Agreed. So..." Karuizawa felt a bit shy but asked it. "Are we ready to truly make it official?"
"Hmmm..." Yousuke thought a bit as he faced her. "On one hand, I wanted to but on the other hand, I feel like I still need the time to-"
"I understand. I also might need the time to do the same thing as you." Karuizawa smiled about it as she took his hands grasping onto them. "I'll help you as much as I can Yousuke-kun! Because you're one of my precious classmates."
"Thank you Kei-chan. I really appreciated it and I'll do the same for you." Yousuke thanked her with a smile and he too grasped onto her hands. "And when the time comes, our relationship will truly be official."
Both of them can really understand each other's feelings as they let go. "See you tomorrow Kei-chan." Yousuke left and at the same time, "Karuizawa-san!"
"Ah! Ichinose-san!" The 2 girls greeted each other as, "How was your day?" Honami asked and she has a Christmas gift in a paper bag.
"Great! Yousuke-kun and I went out!" Karuizawa replied but didn't mention the double date, Ayanokouji and Satou.
"That's nice and...uh...is Kiyotaka around or have you seen him lately?" Honami asked shyly.
"I think he went that way, I'll take you to him!" She replied and they went off to the direction.
But along the way, "Nani? Is that Satou-san running away while crying?" Karuizawa thought and Honami saw him and gasped. He too noticed them and his eyes widened when he saw her.
It now cuts to them sitting on a park bench as the night is approaching with a bit of snowfall. "What happened there?" Karuizawa asked.
"Satou wanted me to be her boyfriend but I can't because I don't feel it for her." Ayanokouji answered.
"Feel what?" Honami asked.
"Affection, romance, love. Yes, I've never felt romantic feelings for anyone in my entire life. I don't even think I'm mature enough to fall in love or feel love for someone." Ayanokouji revealed to the girls and they felt saddened to hear this especially Honami.
"Okay...hey I had this feeling for a while now..." Karuizawa then whispered to him, "Do you really see people as nothing but tools?"
"And what if I do?" He asked leaving Honami confused between them as, "Oh never mind. Anyway, I gotta but first, I have something for you." Karuizawa dug into her handbag and took out a paper bag with a ribbon on it. "Yousuke-kun and I thought of getting you a Christmas present so here, take it."
"Then take this also." Ayanokouji handed her a paper bag also and inside is some cold medicine when Karuizawa opened in. "You were soaking through the night after the incident. I assumed you'll fall ill but it seems I was wrong. Still, a necessary precaution." Ayanokouji stated.
She smiled about this and, "Goodnight guys."
"Good night Karuizawa-san." Honami replied and with that, she headed back.
This will do. Karuizawa Kei is now entirely committed to me. Proposing an end to our arrangement to spark lingering regrets in her, then delaying the rescue until moments she nearly broke down...it all went as planned. She feels genuine trust in me for me now and she won't betray me easily. An effective pawn she is for future tasks. But in the end...I suppose I'm still there. With my perception of others as nothing but pawns...will this relationship of ours ever change? Time will tell...
Speaking of which, "So Kiyotaka...what happened back there?"
"Where did that come from Honami?"
"When you're pummeling Ryuuen, I saw a change of behaviour in you. The way I see it...you were heartless, merciless and it's like you're inside a void of darkness..." Honami described while trembling a bit. "I wonder...is your past also related to the darkness? Is this why you fabricated your personal life?"
Ayanokouji said nothing for a moment. And then, "This is why I have to bury the truth. If I tell you now, my life will be in peril and likewise, yours. This also applies to your family and your class."
"Oh...if it's really personal and dark. I shouldn't dig deeper into it then. Sorry for that..." Honami apologized.
"It's alright." Ayanokouji assured to her as she rested her head on his shoulder. "One thing's for sure, I'll always stay by your side no matter what happens to you. And I also got something for you."
"Christmas present right Honami?"
"This one is special. Open it." Honami handed the paper bag to him and once he took a peek, "What's that?"
"Chocolate Chip Cookies baked by me!" Honami revealed as he took the jar out. There are cookies inside as he opened the jar and ate a cookie. "Crunchy..."
"You like it?" She asked it.
"I love it a lot." He replied as he closed the jar and kept it back inside the paper bag. "Thank you very much for this special gift." He thanked her with a smile and she smiled back. "I also have something special for you."
Honami watched as Ayanokouji took out a small box. He handed it to her and she opened it. Inside was a snow globe in which inside the glass sphere is a replica model of ANHS. Excited, Honami shook it gently as the white flakes were churned about. She then got it back to it's position as the flakes fall down and around like snow. "It's so beautiful Kiyotaka! Thank you so much for this special gift!"
"No problem." He replied as she kept the snow globe back in the box. "Well if nothing else, the snow might get heavy. We better head back."
"Then let's get going Kiyotaka!"
"Agreed." The 2 students then walked back to the dorms together.
This will also do. Among the girls in this school, Ichinose Honami is the only one that made me feel the affection. All the time we spent together has progressively restored my emotions and feelings. She was also the first to enable me to smile and to deduce my full abilities. I owe it to her for helping me experience the freedom in various activities and I will make sure I'll protect her all the way. In fact, she'll be the only person I will absolutely not consider as a tool. Fate has truly arranged this for us. Destiny on the other has yet to make it's move but I know for sure that everything's in motion and when the time comes...things will change between us...
Some time later, they are near the dorms and, "I'm gonna buy myself a drink. You go ahead Honami and I'll see you tomorrow."
"Sure Kiyotaka and...wanna hang out for tomorrow?"
"Why not? I was planning to watch, "Sword Art Online: Scherzo of Deep Night."
"Alright! We'll watch the movie around noon and after that, have lunch together!"
"Solid." With that, both said their goodnights with smiles as Honami joyfully went ahead. Ayanokouji watched her from his spot but at the same time, his expression returned to his gloomy one as, "Someone's coming." He thought.
And it came from behind as, "We never properly said hello after so long apart, did we Ayanokouji-kun?"
He looked behind to see none other than Sakayanagi approaching him. "I don't know what you mean." He told her as they stood on the ground staring at each other from a distance. "The ultimate masterpiece of the White Room that your father created. A false genius that I solely want to bury."
"Heh. Are you really capable of burying me?" Ayanokouji asked and the inner darkness can be seen through his eyes.
The third term will soon be full of heat and internal conflicts.
So it seems Honami has begun to feel something in Ayanokouji. All the times they spent together as friends has made her feel like there's more to it. And it depends on how Season 3 will proceed in this story. But first, wait for the anime coming out on January 2024. (I hope so)
I have added new dialogues between Ayanokouji and Horikita in which it's regarding Kikyou. Meanwhile, the latter has become more deranged and notorious due to her undying hatred over a lot of things. Soon, something major will happen resulting in a turn of events...
And the Double Date has been altered with special changes like the extended bonding between the group at the gift shop, Honami's presence after the event and a bit of extra dialogue. All in exchange for cutting out the scene between Ayanokouji and Satou.
Oh right, Christmas gifts are also present in the story. I mean, no presents would make this holiday dull right? Especially in this specialized story.
