CHAPTER 6: SOMETHING VAGO




For Hashimoto Masayoshi, the problem of who to be under was something trivial.

No, it is not an exaggeration to say that I do not care at all.

Whether Sakayanagi is trying to lead a leader or Katsuragi, use who is beneficial to himself. That's. That's. I'm lucky that the start was class A, but I'm also looking at how they fall to class B and class C along the way.

The most important thing is to take a position that can be reversed in the end.

That's why, in contact with Ryuuen, which has become an early stage, I felt the possibility

You can also defeat Sakayanagi and Ichinose. I realized that he was a man with a mysterious strength. I did not hesitate to pass the information of class A, as necessary. Of course, intelligence activities as a subsidiary of Sakayanagi until the end. However, if Ryuuen surpasses the others, he will not stop betraying Sakayanagi.

In the same way I put a star in Ichinose of the class B. In the case of Ichinose it is different from that of Ryuuen and Sakayanagi, the other part that does not understand the work of the back. Hashimoto did not exaggerate, he chose to fill in from the outside pit. Although I will not go to betray Ichinose, I also have a connection with a student with class B near her.

It was a relationship with each class that Hashimoto quickly built after this entry.

There are not many insurance for unforeseen circumstances.

And today I was also trying to prepare myself for that unexpected situation.

"Oh, it's Hashimoto, are you a little better?"

Runner after school. A girl named Motodoi Chikako, a former classmate, cried under Hashimoto. He belongs to the same tennis club as Hashimoto. It seems that Hashimoto has persecuted after leaving the classroom.

It seems I was floating somewhere, I feel restless.

Hashimoto understands the situation quickly without asking the matter.

Today is February 14. I have already experienced this scene several times.

However, it does not come to your face as you understand. Naturally, I will not even say words.

"What was the previous compost, which is for something?"

If requested with care, the original soil fertilizer will be eliminated, as we decided.

"This is chocolate, because it's Valentine's Day."

Hashimoto immediately received the chocolate that they told me to say.

"Thank you for the old soil fertilizer, I am satisfied."

"It's fine".

Hashimoto had previously noted that the old Motodoi farm had turned its eyes to itself as a heterosexual favor. From ten to nine, it will be a favorite chocolate. Although trust was confirmed if confessed, there is nothing emotional about fertilizing the previous soil. It is because it does not recognize if it is good or bad and a person that is not worth using. It is also judged that meritorious merits are 0.

"At some point they appear in the department" "Bad, I recently did a sabotage" "Really, senpai, I was surprised".

"Remember, let me thank you appropriately next month, for now"

"Okay, yes"

The ex Motodoi felt his face flush and he escaped as if escaping the shame.

There is no possibility of appointments. Still Hashimoto leaves a clue to the relationship.

Something may change in the future.

To recover the delay, Hashimoto heads to class C for a year with a bit of early walking.

Now, there is a person who is paying more attention than the previous Motodoi.

male student of class 1-C, Kiyotaka Ayanokouji.

"I wonder what I'm worried about"

Hashimoto himself, there is a part that is wondering.

Until the training camp was completely different, Nagumo was somewhat familiar with the face. I memorized that he had a strong relay with the former president of the student council at the time of the sports festival, but that was it. I thought the evaluation would not change much as fast as the speed of the leg. Sakayanagi and Ryuuen, which are stronger antennas, are not returning their special line of sight to Ayanokouji.

But when I came here, an incident occurred that changed the idea of ​​that Ayanokouji.

Strange observation of the president of the student council Nagumo. A mysterious auction, Horikita is a man who is bought more than anyone else. I tried to clean up with a joke, but I could not do it.

If I think about it now, I have that sign. Why did they directly confront the former student council president, Ayanokouji? Was not it just a coincidence?

If there was something intentional and I had to act that way.

Such doubts began to swirl.

In addition, an incident in which Ryuuen was suppressed by Ishizaki, has not yet been understood. Although the current C class was also the lowest in the overwhelming point of spring, the difference of the upper class began to decrease.

If these series of events were involved in Ayanokouji .......

"Is there anything that surpasses Sakayanagi or Ryuuen ... ...?"

At the moment, it does not seem like much.

That is also natural. Just a mere suspicion as it is now. Delusions overcome. Something definitive is missing. Nagumo's dialogue is just a joke that is unrealistic, and the imagination of the selfish Hashimoto is also the background of the relay that took place at the sports festival.

That is why actions to know facts.

He was ordered to Sakayanagi, spread rumors about Ichinose, find a free time recently and look for Ayanokouji, he is investigating.

I got to class C, but there was no Ayanokouji figure anymore. "There is not always a waste, Ayanokouji"

Due to my close friendship relationship, I rarely remain in the classroom after school.

I thought that today is also a group of friends of Miyake and Yukimura? I thought about it, but I confirmed that Yukimura and Sakura remain in the classroom and erase the possibility once.

"Hirata"

It is evident when other classes are observed badly.

Hashimoto immediately called Hirata, who had not yet addressed the club's activities.

"Hi, Hashimoto, what are you doing?"

"I came to see if you could do it again"

"No, I have not thought about doing it now."

"Are you healing the wound?"

"Yes ......... if a little"

"Next time, I'll tell you the history of that area." By the way, I heard the people who were together in the training camp, I thought Ayanokouji was there, it seems they have already left.

"I did not find it? I think it came out a minute or two ago, but

......... "

Slight delay Judging that I could catch up with you immediately, I bowed to Hirata and immediately went to the front door. An exam at the end of the grade soon. Like Hashimoto, we can not simply repeat the tailings every day. I would like to establish a perfect position for my examination by changing my head as soon as possible, with a decision on black or white.

"I'd like to grab something here soon."

If there is a possibility of something, move on. I chase after that.

For his good luck, Ayanokouji was touching the phone at the front door. Are you making a meeting with someone, is it just a time to kill? Either way, Hashimoto was the development of a fortunate succession.

Ayanokouji frequently keeps in touch with someone by touching the mobile phone. I do not know if it's just Miyake, or a person unknown to Hashimoto.

One thing is that the tail itself is a very easy companion.

Hashimoto tied several students so far. Katsuragi, Ryuuen, Kanzaki, sometimes also Ichinose. It was not easy for everyone to follow them. If you follow later once every 2 days it will be great. When I was not twisting, I could not get information for about a week.

However, every day in Ayanokouji is a monotonous behavior, and friendship relations are extremely close.

Therefore, it was easy to move forward. There is absolutely nothing alarming at all.

There is nothing to worry about behind, to show a sharp sense, a smell of coincidence.

Even so, Hashimoto will not let go of arrogance.

Just in case, keep in mind and pursue Ayanokouji.

A call comes from the Naoki Shimizu a classmate of Hashimoto.

"Hi, Naoki, what do you want?"

"No, ......... Actually, this morning ... but I've come to speak seriously"

"Oh, it will be better than not, you would care, I do not have much to talk about in class"

In class A to which Hashimoto belongs, a small problem occurred in the morning. The girls in the class were familiar with Shimizu confessing to the girl named Nishikawa and shut up. Largely Nishikawa, I wonder and extended to the confession talk as a friend. Things that happen often.

"If you care one day, can not you confess anyone?"

"Well, that's right ......... You can not forgive me, I'm Nishikawa's boy"

"I want to go out with bitches in the mountains, but now I'm drinking a bit."

"Oh yeah".

Hashimoto also hung up again, as we promised to hang up again at night.

"I'll confess because I can not guarantee the conditions of success to be successful"

I decided to comfort him later and chased Ayanokouji back to the bedroom.

"If you go straight home as is, today there is nothing?" If there is a pain in Ayanokouji spending it will hardly change.

However, the elevator has passed the fourth floor where there is a room, Ayanokouji goes up. For a while I was observing the status of the monitor, descending alone on the girls' floor.

"Certainly ... is it the floor where Ichinose is?" It's just a coincidence that it's possible to meet another girl.

However, when it is this time, I do not agree with the participation of Ichinose.

"Even if it sticks, even if it's Ichinose, a simple visit is also possible ... ... ..."

Even though Ayanokouji is a close friendship country, Ichinose is a popular student even in the grade.

It is no wonder to be a friend of Ayanokouji. Even if the other person is cute, it's not fun that there are students who want to visit and expect something.

However, Ayanokouji returns to the elevator immediately. Then, the elevator stopped on the fourth floor where there is a room, Ayanokouji came down.

"What ... ... ...?"

Understanding the behavior The figure of the class B girls that arrive from the Ichinose floor is shown. Hashimoto, who reasoned that he had returned to where he had been visiting Ayanokouji and had turned around.

To make sure we headed to the fourth floor with an elevator soon, but there was no longer a trace of Ayanokouji.

You will almost certainly go back to the room.

"Nothing is safe, after all"

Hashimoto, who thought it increased or decided to look at the state for a while in the lobby.

It is still early in time. After that, I talk to Ichinose or because I take the opportunity to make a promise with another person and have a good chance. Either going up or down, you can check the monitor going up in the elevator.

One way to remind Hashimoto was to become fruit after about an hour.

Ayanokouji who entered the elevator began to move towards the lower floor.

It seems that the clothes have not yet been changed.

"Is the school again?"

It is inexplicable to take such action after arriving home.

If it was a problem to change clothes to go to a convenience store conveniently, you could have an explanation and a student bag in hand.

Soon he will get up from the sofa and will lurk towards the emergency staircase.

"I would like to expect fun developments"

As if Hashimoto's wish was fulfilled, Ayanokouji will leave the lobby and walk towards those who are not popular. At least this line of schools and convenience stores disappeared. Well, is there a meeting with someone? No, I just moved to an inappropriate place to meet with my friend.

In this way, I will not expect anything in the part of what I do and with whom I will meet.

It is definitive that it is a meeting.

It's hot if the president of the student council Horikita Manabu or Ryuuen comes out.

Such speculation will be betrayed in an unexpected way.

"Hey hey, really ..."

It was Kei Karuizawa of class 1-C who appeared at the place where Ayanokouji was meeting.

She's a girl who was talked about a bit in class A as a result of her split with Hirata recently. There was no contact with Hashimoto until now, but surprises can not be hidden from the appearance of a surprising existence.

Feeling of weakness entering. They betrayed me.

There is nothing to do with the "back" of Ayanokouji chasing Hashimoto, just for love. The head tried to change automatically, but I feel that the relationship between two people is beyond the limits of my friends.

Hirata and Karuizawa have been witnesses several times, but it was because I could see the "deep feeling of a lover" and the "intimacy" that I did not feel at that moment.

"I do not know ... why is Ayanokouji?"

What is favorable in the first place? Or are they both? Although I can make a reasoning, I do not receive an answer. First of all, there is no correct answer for the love story. Compared to Hirata and Ayanokouji objectively, 80% of girls probably choose Hirata, but it's not funny that the remaining 20% ​​choose Ayanokouji.

If there are 100 people, at least 20 people choose Ayanokouji.

That means ..........

"The opponent that Ayanokouji was occasionally in contact with, is Karuizawa ... ...?"

But change the idea quickly. The current situation is only the imagination, the selfish attack on Hashimoto. There is no answer

exploration. However, we can not listen to the content of the conversation because we are not going to inexplicable places that are not popular.

"How am I going to do it ...?"

Hashimoto could not come to a conclusion .......

The situation of the two people moves at the same time.

"Chocolate, right?"

Karuizawa handed Ayanokouji the items he had in his hand. As for February 4, if I steal the person's eye and give it to them, I can imagine it even if I no longer see the content.

In this way, at least Karuizawa will be favored towards Ayanokouji.

"Well, whatever the ending is today"

It had no relation to the information I wanted to know.

Hashimoto stops moving when he tries to conclude like this.

"In this case ....... Would you like to try it a bit?"

This can be said as an opportunity if we take into account the fact that we have few elements left until the end of the qualification exam.

Taking a shake involving Karuizawa irrelevantly aggressively. So, if Ayanokouji comes out, there are chances of catching him. Conversely, if nothing comes out, it can be treated as a target.

Yes, Hashimoto judged and accelerated his way to the Ayanokouji.

Part 1


Signs that come from behind ... ... that step is fast. It was obvious that it was a movement that prevented us from overlooking the fact of being in contact at close range.

"Karuizawa and Ayanokouji too"

Hashimoto was breathing away from the lobby until now.

"......... um, who is it?"

I wonder if Kei knows about Hashimoto, I will consult with Hashimoto.

"He's in his class, I was together in the training camp for the moment"

Hashimoto approached Kei to greet me.

"Ayanokouji that a man and a woman can not be placed in a corner like a conference in such a place"

He knew they would come into contact with each other, but was this moment coming? Then suppose we will also use that mechanism. "I was doing something else ------"

"Do not hide, today is San Valentine, it is not surprising that two people who are not lovers meet in secret, it seems that they really understood".

I also attended the chocolate I received and immediately put it in my bag.

"It was a coincidence that I got a chocolate, I did not know it intentionally"

To say it, Hashimoto laughs with his nose and finds that excuse.

"No, did not you know you can buy chocolate from the beginning?"

"That shoe"

"Dry?"

"Once I went back to the dorm, I did not bother taking off my shoes from school and going out."

"... No, first, I was thinking of going to the library, but before that, I got a call from Karuizawa and I answered."

"In other words ... ... what's wrong with you?"

I introduced myself to Hashimoto, took two books out of a student's bag and showed him.

"Well, anyway, or the same, you got chocolate from Karuizawa."

Hashimoto says that the fact that I got chocolate from Karuizawa, even though he was not in touch with me, is important.

"I do not understand very well ... ... is there something wrong?"

"I'm just curious to know where I'm attracted to Ayanokouji, it's Hirata who is proud of the popularity of bending his fingers at school because he's just interested, he chose Ayanokouji until he shook Hirata."

That is, he is interested in why I have reached the process.

The grace he listened to silently listening to the flow of his mouth opens his mouth.

"Oh, I'm sorry ... it's a misunderstanding"

"Misunderstood?"

"That's what I meant for this chocolate, originally Hirata-kun, but I have no body to throw and I thought about giving it to someone, so I chose Ayanokouji-kun properly."

"It's appropriate to give these parents bad chocolate, but it was bad, but I could not see it. What is that place and I'm a little weak if I lie?"

Hashimoto laughed to say that, but Kei showed anger with flagrant appearance.

"Eh? You suddenly appeared, speaking fluently, what the hell are you?"

It is a blessing that points to an intimidating rush.

"I just want to know the truth"

Hashimoto a little depressed.

However, it is a fact that it can not cover the unnatural part.

So I change direction.

If Kei is able to fit in well it would be to the best of your ability.

"It would be better to speak with each other sincerely, Karuizawa: I think it would be a problem to hide here, since, on leaving, it would be more difficult for me to think" that guy "".

Say that and throw a cane.

Kei did not hesitate, I have a sigh.

"Oh, it's hard to say, but never spread this story?"

Having said that, I push my finger against Hashimoto.

"Chocolate entrusted to Ayanokouji-kun, so they can give it to my favorite"

"I want to say - ----- Ayanokouji is an intermediary?"

"That's it.

Hashimoto, who can not believe it, shows such a gesture.

"If that chocolate, who are you going to give it to?"

The pursuit of Hashimoto continues.

"Well, you can not teach the human being for the first time, have not you come back?"

It is a blessing, but there is no falsehood in that part.

There was a figure of Kei Karuizawa, a girl who was doing it.

"That's -------- Well, that's right."

Hashimoto confirmed with a somewhat surprised appearance, but I lowered my head to apologize.

"It's not a problem head down, I feel like I'm crazy"

"......... that's right, apparently it was my misunderstanding, it's bad,

I thought I liked them, I was deeply worried. "

"First of all, how many are you plunging into your neck, irrelevant?"

"It's not related to that point, it's irrelevant"

"He has?"

Hashimoto turned his feet against the angry blessings.

Then push it into the wall and lock Kei in her arms.

"Wait to?"

"I thought it was good from the front, go out with me, Karuizawa, I do not know who the new favorite is, but do not say my feelings if I have not given chocolate yet."

I'm going to make a brutal appeal that it's not too late from now on.

"What are you saying ... does it make me feel good in such a situation?" "Is not it interesting because I do not know what's wrong with love?" That said, a sharp look will shoot me for a moment.

It could be that I tried to get rid of some kind of emotion by being in strong contact with Kei.

"Well, I'm leaving."

"Well, I'm going home"

Striking forcefully on Hashimoto's chest, Kei took the distance. "Could not break"

Hashimoto smiled bitterly, but it seems he will not use more aggressive hands to drift.

It seemed that Kei no longer lost interest.

As the situation was only for the situation, Kei returned with a sharp and sincere sigh.

"It was wrong, I got in a strange place"

"No, separately"

Walk with Hashimoto to the point of ramification between the bedroom and the school.

"Even if you do, do you also have a lot of problems with love affairs?"

"What do you say?"

"It's said you can not catch him because he's an inexperienced woman."

I laughed like a smile and put my hand on my shoulder, whispered in my ear.

Is it also a history of that hand .........?

"Do not be afraid, it's a situation where you have a good list of people."

I'm not happy at all.

Rather, it seemed that the training camp that caused it became increasingly disgusted.

"Keep talking, please exchange contacts with me"

"If you do not use that sudden nickname again, you can exchange it." "Hahaha ... I will not say it"

I decided to exchange contacts with Hashimoto who apologized while doing a cell phone.

"Well then, will I also go home today?

Hashimoto comes as the wind and leaves.

Did you think that the harvest was enough for this, you felt deeply forbidden?

Either way, in Hashimoto I will keep my existence as gray.

If so.

I stopped at the library and decided to meet Hiyori, who would be waiting.

And another person, we should meet someone who is making promises to meet at school.

Part 2


I could not join the group because I arrived home late from what I expected.

When I returned to the bedroom room before 7 o'clock, a paper bag was placed in front of the door.

Looking inside, there were two packing boxes. One is a square, one is a circle. Each name was written by hand. Valentine's Chocolate by Haruka and Airi.

The chat already has a statement about it, both Akito and Keisei receive the same.

Go back to the room and place the chocolate on the desk.

"To think that I would receive 5 more ..."

Kei, Airi, Haruka, Hiyori. And one more thing.

A box of chocolate with a nice pink packing tape.

After ten o'clock at night, I put on a hooded jacket and went into the corridor.

I got in the elevator.

I can not capture my face from the camera installed in the elevator.

In the unlikely event, it will be a problem for you to avoid it. Ideally it would be ideal to contact in another place, but inevitably if you are resting with a bad physical condition.

Although it was a strange moment when I was already asleep, it is an action after confirming that I have not slept yet, skipping a talk from Ichinose's contact address taught from Horikita.

But I did not say I'll go to the room.

I go to Ichinose's apartment and I stand in front of the door. I ring the bell. 10 seconds, 20 seconds.

No sound is heard from inside. I press the doorbell again. Naturally, Ichinose will be confused with the midnight visit. I gave a loud voice after 30 seconds. "You are Ichinose, I am Ayanokouji"

It will be a problem for me to remain on this floor after the curfew.

Ichinose will also understand.

She does not choose to expose herself carelessly to dangerous eyes.

"... .......... Ayanokouji-kun, what's wrong?"

The voice of Ichinose that I hear through the door. It is weak while you listen to your voice.

"My God, hooh"

It is difficult to determine if this is a real physical condition just because of the sound.

"I have a small important story, I would like to interfere directly, can I?"

"Do not ... ... ... ... ..."

"To be honest, it seems to be problematic if you see it now with the girls"

Push forward a little more energetically.

"Wait a minute"

That said, I heard the sound that I could open the doors of the room shortly.

Ichinose who opened the door appeared with an incredibly downward tension.

"Okay, it's a bit strong, Ayanokouji-kun ... ..." Apparently she feels sick with the masking. Apparently it's not a surprise that you're using an illness.

"It's bad, it certainly became a form of brute force, do you feel bad?"

"I'm fine, the fever is almost coming down."

How do you feel that you are going to sleep too much and go hungry?

Oh, I'm sorry, but will you mask me?

If he could not move the cold, Ichinose came out with a mask.

I am a person with a high immunity, but it is absolutely nothing. If I deny it indiscriminately and catch a cold, Ichinose will regret it much later. I do not hesitate to access and install it.

"So, are you going to hospital?"

"I went there during the workday"

Ichinose was absent with an illness caused by the spread of rumors.

It seems that many students thought, apparently it was not like that.

It seems that there is no error that physical condition purely lost.

"I was worried about being rumored because I was resting.

Thank you".

"Do not ... ... ..."

Do the ideas here seem to have been seen?

"Ayanokouji-kun is the first time I match my face during my illness."

"That's how it is?"

"I'm sorry for the guys who wanted to visit when the fever was serious, I refused because I was very tired, and since then other friends seemed to have refrained from thinking that I'm depressed."

Only I, who arrived late to the contact, became the first visitor, ironically.

Ichinose was actually resting with a bad physical condition, but considering his tendency so far, it is unnecessary to think deeply that he is a guy who is also responsible for the management of physical condition. Especially the disease at this time near the end of the grade exam is where she wants to avoid originally. There is no doubt that it is a cold caused by mental damage and a decrease in the immune system.

"I do not want to rest because of that rumor"

Just to be direct, I did not accept that part.

"You are strong"

"You say I'm strong ... I'm sorry, it's better that I close the door.

ventilate a while, but it was cold .......... Return home. Wash your hands well later. "

"Oh"

In the room, the humidifier was working to prevent drying. The cold virus increases the amount of drift in the air in the drying environment at low temperature. For that reason, it is the first decision to raise the humidity and create an environment that facilitates the elimination of the virus to the soil. If you despise it here, it is likely that the cold is prolonged or that the cold is transferred to customers who have visited. This is the main reason why the cold will last because it is easy to dry in the winter.

However, recently the girls have gone up to the room, I often go to the girls' rooms, but it is strange that it has nothing to do with love affairs.

"What happens .........?"

Ichinose who sees me curiously looking at the humidifier.

"Nothing, it's wrong when you're absent."

"No, it's okay, it's sure not to match your face, but it seems to be better to know where you really catch a cold."

I guess I was absent because of an illness.

I guess Ichinose is well aware that such speculation is spreading.

As if to prove it, I showed my cell phone.

There are indications that they interacted with Horikita several times.

He is still worrying about her.

I will not talk for long, I decided to leave immediately as soon as I saw the sunrise.

Part 3


The provisional test day arrived.

All classes, every morning you have to concentrate for the test.

The classroom was full of study, the students did not speak. It does not mean that you hear voices of words and preparations. Only unrelated topics at all.

"It's pretty noisy"

"Naturally, because this ridiculous rumor came this morning"

"A ridiculous rumor: Is it a second report about Ichinose?"

"No, it's a new rumor that confuses the inside of our class C"

"A new rumor ........."

It was obvious that it would not be easy if we looked at the classroom that emerged.

"By the way, you're not irrelevant, Ayanokouji-kun." With that said, Horikita turned my mobile screen towards me. There were four rumors written in a notebook. "This is also ------"

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji likes Karuizawa

Ryodaro Hondo is only interested in obese girls

Satsuki Shinohara had been harvesting in high school.

Maya Satou hates Onodera

The content of the rumor, its trends were similar, but the names of four people, including myself, were listed in the Spearball.

"Where does this information come from?"

"Do you know the existence of the bulletin board of each class that prepared the school?"

"A certain type in an application"

There are bulletin boards that students can use freely, although they are supposed to log in from applications produced by the school, such as when asking about balances. However, because there are several easy-to-use chat applications on the mobile, it is a substitute that is not used 99%.

"I realized, what was the first discoverer?"

"When I arrived in the classroom, it was already spreading, it seems that someone in this learned by chance within the application, it seems that the bulletin board is understood when it is updated."

Not only the bulletin boards for the classes, there are also many bulletin boards for chatting. Because everyone can access it, there is also a good chance that this rumor will be seen in other classes.

"Does not it bother you to have a different approach to the previous time?"

"There are innumerable forms of propagation, be it the same criminal or a different person, can not you help even if you consider the difference in signatures? It's not something you can hide from being written in this way"

By the way, said Horikita.

"Just to be sure that I hear it, is it a fact?"

"Is not true"

I deny it immediately.

"There are few people who know that my relationship with Karuizawa is in its own right"

"What section do you think?"

"It's not there"

I will find out about what I met Hashimoto yesterday and explain.

"If there is a high possibility that the Ichinose broadcast rumors are Hashimoto-kun, there is no mystery, even if you spread about Karuizawa-san about yourself"

"But what about the other guys? The way to prove it is limited."

"All right ........."

Students who can find out the truth of this rumor directly - ----.

"Hey Shinohara, did you like prostitution?"

Yamauchi, who can not read the air, laughed and shouted such a thing.

"I have not done it!"

Shinohara hurries and denies it with all his power. I could see the shame and anger in that face.

"Then show me the evidence"

"Evidence ... ... ... How to prove it!"

Those who are interested in rumors will spread to new students who come to the classroom.

Well, sooner or later, however.

"If you say it's a lie, everything that is written here is a lie."

While I see the exchange between Yamauchi and Shinohara, I will confirm it.

"What do you think? ... you just have to make sure that each student thinks differently as Yamauchi"

However, it is impossible for an ordinary person to imitate a wound he could hide.

"I'm not a prostitute! I do not know who wrote it, but I'm being dragged by rumors!"

No wonder Shinohara denies the anger towards Yamauchi while denying it.

It is amazing to write such a thing and be calm.

"But ... is there anything written here, is it the truth?"

"You, stop, Haruki!"

In the search for a mountain without mercy, Ike who came clings to his shoulder and stops him with a brute force.

"It's not an opportunity to get back with Shinohara who always stays well."

"Retaliation ... ....... I've decided such a lie!"

"I do not understand ... Kei, the somewhat busy woman is doing something unexpectedly bad"

I'm not trying to think about Sudo's feelings, Ike talks to Haruki

"Oh, that's the case, you love Shinohara quite well, you admit it -----------"

"Yamauchi!"

Ike grabs Yamauchi's chestnut.

"Enough, guys"

Sudo who did not see that situation took two people to force. Immediately after that, Hirata, who came to the classroom, immediately felt the air and approached. Ask the girls about the circumstances and confirm the rumors.

From just denying Shinohara, Yamauchi will change the objective once again.

"Well, Hondou ~ Are you serious enough for me?"

Yamauchi's opponent turned back to the main hall.

"Let's understand, it's a lie! It's such a big rumor! Ayanokouji, he does not even like Karuizawa!"

Naturally the main room denies the rumors. And while I fled I asked for help.

The eyes look at once. Fortunately, the Kei group had not yet attended school.

If you show it in the area, do you bring it back to the mountain while you cry in the main room?

"Tell me, what is everything, lie?"

When three people deny the three rumors, it's time to say something quiet.

"But ... ... Satou-san does not like Onodera-san very much, right?"

Maezono has leaked such a thing. As Onodera has not yet arrived, it may have been words that originally come out of my mouth.

"Hey, stop, Maezono-san!"

Sato tried hastily to stop Maezono's comments, but it's too late.

"Can not you see where Sato plays with Onodera?"

"That ---- ----"

The rumor was a lie, but it was changing to a situation that could not be clarified.

Meanwhile, Sudo confirmed with Ike and Yamauchi that they were separated, they walked to see Horikita and me.

"Ayanokouji: Do you really like Karuizawa?"

Sudo asked me such a thing.

"No, is not that"

"Well, well, even if it's the truth, it's fine, but Suzune"

"What, Sudo-kun"

"No, just before you hear your story for a moment.

"What do you say?"

"Because I'm insensitive, you can listen like Haruki, why do not you go?"

That's right

Sudo can be used as a weapon in the sense of this problem, the

beginning of the story, but ..........

I heard that he had denied Kei if he had listened to him.

"You do not act to diminish the evaluation of others of yourself, in the case of you do not have a high evaluation of the environment, now is the time

to strive to be as high as possible. Yamauchi's comment is sloppy, It seems that I have lowered a lot of position ......... "

Sudo, who originally had the greatest hatred in the class, has the feeling of retiring at the same time.

Ike in which he was the best friend of mind was angry against that mountain.

"Maybe it's like that, but ... I want to be useful."

Sudou for a moment saw me, but immediately turned his eyes away. I guess Horikita would be consulting with me in different ways, because I guess somehow. Of course, you probably know because the seats are easy to communicate with each other.

"If you think Yamauchi-kun does not run away, if there was a good rumor, the story was different, but this time it's all an annoying rumor only if it's personally true, it would hurt me mentally, so I'd like to ask for care, can I?"

"... ... ... that's right".

Sudo was a bit disappointing, but obediently followed the instructions.

Confirm that Sudo was out and return the story that Horikita diverted.

"Maybe this is also one of Sakayanagi, I'm not satisfied with Ichinose alone and we've put the same hands in our class C. There are also several people at the same time, I think it's swinging against the final exam, but ... .. what are you going to do?"

"Is there any way to deal with this rumble in any way? If you deny it completely, it will increase your imagination that the surroundings are true, but if you recognize it and whisper it is like that." My rumor is still cheerful, but the damage The student recognizes how a true lie is big enough. "

"... Well, maybe, I suppose so"

Horikita nods as if she were in agreement while watching the main hall or Shinohara, whether it replaced it.

"But in a sense, it's a disgusting technique, is there a resistance like this?"

"How is it?

"Even if I have lit the fire, are you going to keep looking towards the last minute?"

"It's not like sparks, it will definitely be a spark if it looks like Karuizawa."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Oh, it's fine"

Somehow, he might want to see the situation in which he fluttered in panic.

I could see the strange expression of Horikita looking a bit disappointing.

"Even so, fortunately it was the opposite".

Revert If you do reverse it. If it was a rumor that Kei liked. Rumors say that he likes another man right after he separated from Hirata. Next, several speculations flit.

Even if it is not a fact, someone certifies it as a fact. Fiction is also the truth.

"But ------- I can not look back like you forever."

"That's right".

Even if you leave it alone, it's obvious that it will burn like a big fuss.

Yamauchi was trying to talk again with Shinohara and Sato, but Hirata stopped him.

"Yamauchi-kun is not necessarily the truth because it was written on the bulletin board, and it's not necessarily wrong to hurt each other."

"But I want to see the rumors of Ichinose, do not you know them all now? We were going to be quiet?"

"I can not say that, at least, what I can do now is act without being fooled by such a bulletin board"

Hirata's voice agrees that it is so that men and women stand up strongly. Of course he will not go with all the solutions, but at least he succeeded in making a simple cover.

A message arrived at Horikita's mobile.

"From Kanzaki-kun"

Having said that, Horikita looked at the message. "Apparently, Ichinose seems to be taking a day off"
Provisional test day. Even if it's a bit messed up, I want to receive your own test of ability. All right, Ichinose is the class leader. She plays a role in driving friends. Well, is not there a problem if it does not heal with the appearance of yesterday?

"And another ........ It seems that the rumors were also written in the

Class B bulletin boards "

"So, you've noticed too."

"I like it that way"

Horikita needs to urgently sign in to the application and check the bulletin board for class B. Then there were similar rumors to the four people and class C. The bulletin board for class D was similar.

"Not only are there rumors in a carefully written class, do not I have time after school? I'd like to know more about it and I'd like to talk about how to deal with this bulletin board."

"That's right".

I agreed with Horikita.

"For now, let's concentrate on the provisional test, because it is a valuable opportunity to verify the level of difficulty at the end of the grade and the situation of the class"

But unlike Horikita, which is not covered by rumors, the target does not.

Kei, and the good girls come to school, meet and start listening.

And see how this is done. With eyes like seeing the filth. You can understand the words even if you do not listen directly. "Ayanokouji-kun, do you seem to like Karuizawa-san?" "Hey, what do you think, Hey Karuizawa-san?"

Such conversation is spreading. And Kei would definitely be solving words like "bad" or "worse".

"Well, what do you think?"

"... it's quite difficult"

I was going to give up because I could hear those words directly when I looked at more lines of sight. The problem would be the students who were named apart from me and rumored.

Part 4


The interim test begins while leaving a grueling grudge inside the class.

An important moment for the end of the degree.

The content of the provisional test is higher than the previous test, even with a high difficulty level.

However, it is true that students who performed the exams consistently so far can handle the situation without panic. On the contrary, students who have gone through a tightrope on a barely necessary basis must have a hard job in this interim test.

There was an invitation from the Ayanokouji group study group, but today I will contact Horikita to start a study session earlier. Kanzaki did not seem to like to stand out, and it became a joint of the Keyaki shopping center. after school he finished the provisional test.

As directed by Horikita, I visit under Kanzaki. Near the southern exit of the Keyaki shopping center.

This place is the most distant place of the school, the students do not fall first.

I'm not interested in class conflict, but I'm not worried as a friend either.

It will not be bad to listen to information.

In addition, recently the Hashimoto brand continued at times.

If contact with class B, the shadow of class A inevitably approaches.

It is a desired development for this.

In fact, Hashimoto had been following him to the point of getting away from me.

"We're leaving for the second day in a row, and can not we get in touch with Ichinose?"

"There is no response, not only because the response was late, but we only received reports that I had a cold and lost my physical condition."

Kanzaki in recent days seems to have been tense. Ichinose should have been repeatedly told not to care, but I'm surprised she can not be mature.

It may be due in part to physical deterioration, but Ichinose is reluctant to face his classmate face to face now. I refuse to mention the rumors.

"Who is the teacher in charge of reporting?"

"It's similar, I respond that I'm absent because I got a cold."

His teacher is also being reported in a similar way by Ichinose.

The reason why Kanzaki's expression is obscure is because I have doubts about whether Ichinose is absent from the cold or not. Recently, Ichinose remained in the midst of rumors. I think that is the cause.

"To see us in person, it will be clear if you meet in person."

"Several girls in class seem to have visited, but it seems that the face does not match directly"

Understanding that the situation is not good, Horikita thinks deeply.

"If there is salvation, she is an excellent part of her academic performance, even if she does not undergo a preliminary test, it probably will not hurt her."

Students who lost their physical condition such as Ichinose can receive a problematic sentence at a later date and can say the answers of other students.

"We are not worried about that point, only the mental face of Ichinose is worried."

Horikita and Kanzaki.

When I was thinking of making a countermeasure, several shadows were approaching.

Apparently, Hashimoto seems to have published a report on this secret meeting.

"It seems that Ichinose was also absent from school today, it will be a difficult job next weekend if it's a long vacation until that day ......... it can be a serious thing, I do not know."

"... Sakayanagi"

Instead of being in front of us, Sakayanagi, who appeared in front of Kanzaki of class B. There was a figure of Kamuro and Hashimoto. In addition, he is accompanied by a boy student named Kitou.

Sakayanagi faction, as the main member?

"What are you talking about with people in class C?"

"It has nothing to do with you"

"It does not seem to be welcome, it's us"

"If you want to be welcome, you have to listen to the strange rumors and stop spinning, before you can not go back to that."

Sakayanagi looks at her face with her classmate and starts to smile.

"What the hell are you?"

"Even if you rumble, the class B unit will not shake"

"I do not know you have been placed in any situation, we are looking forward."

I just came to see the situation until the end. However, it seems that the effect was judged to be the main side.

"What you do not care about, Kanzaki-kun, in general, Sakayanagi's strategy."

"I know

Due to friendship and a discreet character, Kanzaki suffers from a dilemma.

Part 5

Even after school, the spread of rumors does not stop.

"Cho, Chocho Chocho! What do you mean by Kiyotaka !! "

When I returned home and was relaxed, Kei called me.

"What do you mean by what?"

I knew it, but I heard it once.

"What's not that, Kiyotaka, you know, the rumors are spreading?"

"You do not care about the rumors"

"No, no, I do not care if it's a rumor, I wonder why, how did it happen?"

From the back of the ears and the volume of the voice, once loose the mobile phone.

Decrease the volume Adjust while pressing the button with the tip of your finger.

"Maybe, it could be a rumor that Hashimoto blushed, or was there a student he saw somewhere else?"

"Yes ... ... ... ...!"

Kei shouting with a strong voice.

"Oh, well, it was good, if it was the opposite it was serious"

"Well, is it the opposite?"

"Kei liked me, the rumor is uncomfortable after all, right after you broke up with Hirata, I think it's a strange concert"

"......... Well, I do not know, but ..."

"Do not worry, what is rumored will vanish immediately"

"Really?"

"However, thanks to this rumor, it can be said that it became easier to contact you in the future, because I can clarify how I talk to you"

The thing is to think.

Although I do not plan to speak in a way that stands out in the first place, it also becomes safe at that time.

"No no no no no"

This time I say "no" more time than before.

"When you are two people, you can be seen with strange eyes! You can see it absolutely!"

It's a really strange tone if repeating is a boom.

I can indirectly plant that information in Hashimoto, who will follow me.

'I do not care anyway'

"Even if you say you do not care .............................. You can not do that!

After a long silence, it seems that it was still difficult.

While smiling, it was a grace I had been talking about for a while, but as I finally gave up, I cut the call.

Part 6


Deploy to start moving quickly.

There is no special test, it is the appearance of turbulence at this time of the year that should focus only on the written exam that takes place at the end of the school year, at the end of February. Three days passed after the provisional test, Friday, February 18.

There were three classes gathered in a place away from the school grounds, except for class B.

The movement of Hirata to stop rumors recently dispersed in the limit, but the effort was also false and rumors spread in the blink of an eye.

Class A that had never been written on the bulletin board already has information from other classes.

"Ishizaki: What the hell do you want to talk about?"

Hashimoto of the class. A sees Ishizaki as if it were usual.

"Why Hashimoto ... What are you going to do to take Kitou, I told you to come alone?"

"You bring Albert there, for being cautious"

Hot air flows.


It seems that I did not think they were living together in the training camp until the other day, but it is not reasonable.

"I came here to talk to you today, that's right, Ishizaki-kun."

In addition to Ishizaki and Albert, Hiyori and Ibuki also participated in class D.

"The other must be ruined, is not it?"

"But ... …"

There's no reason to worry about Hiyori.

It's because it seems unlikely that something will happen right now.

"But what is it, this mentor, I did not call you more than us"

While looking at us, Hashimoto sighed as if surprised.

"Do not you know, you did not call me?"

Both class D and class A have discomfort in the presence of our class C.

"It was like you said, about Ayanokouji"

That's why I came to the Ayanokouji group including Akito standing next to me.

They were members who met in a cafe to hold study meetings.

"Meanwhile, I remembered the moment when Kanzaki and Hashimoto were disturbed." As I saw them moving away from the ground, it probably was ... "

When I said it, Akito felt a disturbing air, I joined immediately.

However, what was unexpected was Haruka, Airi and Keisei as well.

"The departments are more than dense, the last time, maybe there is a disturbance with ........."

"Oh, why is this bad situation going on at the moment?"

I often say that the waves I found in such a scene were amazed.

"Well, it does not matter who called him, I'd like to ask a question, Shiina-chan?"

"It's a matter of example rumors, it's the information you played in class A, right?"

Hiyori says if it will be a fight if you leave it to Ishizaki.

"Hey, why are you asking us something like that?"

"Oh no - ----!"

"Please leave it to me, Ishizaki-kun"

Hiyori gently restrains Ishizaki trying to speak in anger.

"I heard the testimony that Kanzaki-kun saw the spread of Ichinose's rumor"

"He's talking, or have you heard about them from two of them?"

It's about Akito and I who heard the exchange between Kanzaki and Hashimoto.

"Please answer Hashimoto-kun"

Hiyori asked Hashimoto without turning his face towards here.

"... Well, well, I know Ayanokouji and Miyake, so to speak frankly, I just heard the rumor that Ichinose was heard somewhere, from the right with interest".

Naturally, Hashimoto does not accept that fact.

"It's a convenient excuse, I wonder if such a thing still happens."

"Excuses - facts ... Well, if you say it's bad if you spread it in an interest-oriented style, it's bad, even if it's okay, it's weird, it's unlikely that a class D that is irrelevant will come here and shoot "

Hashimoto continues to show a happy but sharp eye.

"You meant ... ... what example rumors were you in your D class?"

"Do not be silly, I understand that Sakayanagi has caused the rumors to flow!"

"Certainly, Ichinose is a belligerent leader, sometimes he also makes a provocative comment to Ichinose, the desire to read it deeply and to decide what is the root of the rumor, I do not understand it, but it is irrelevant, are there really no proofs?"

Ishizaki irritated by Hashimoto's words. But what you say is also wrong. The letters published in the post and the rumors written in the

bulletin board are not sure it's Sakayanagi for now.

Even if you know it's like that, you know.

"Today was a place to question him, but I did not know, you class D have an Ichinose shoulder"

For Ishizaki, who makes a dazzling look, Hashimoto exhales as I understand it.

"It's useless if you make a successful cheater, not only for you but also for Ichinose, until we talk about gossip with something beautiful"

"I see, I do not care about Ichinose anyway, I do not like something that Class D has never done, I do not like spilling rumors."

The students of the primary school misinterpreted it and they put me in a training school for young people.

"Ishizaki"

As soon as I was fired, I found Ishizaki shining.

Hiyori quickly grabs Ishizaki's arm is about to arrive.

"Damages for primary school students and placement in youth training schools"

It is one of the "lies" written on bulletin boards.

If such a rumor flows, Ishizaki can not be angry.

It is inevitable that such a situation will be completed.

Hashimoto continues without showing how to draw.

"Well, well, well, you put those rumors, not just the Ichinose thing, tell me how you've investigated the rumors of some kind of person."

"Hashimoto!"

"Wait, Ishizaki!"

Akito, who thought he could not be suppressed with Hiyori, stopped in a hurry and stopped Ishizaki.

"Stop Miyake or better be selfish to class A !!

"Stop Hashimoto, Ishizaki, I think that's the way I trust the conflict, but I think this is also the case."

Kitou silently leaves a step forward and made a fist against Ishizaki and Albert.

Depending on the situation, that kind of aspect will also be accepted in this place.

"You do not know that this school is loud about a fight?"

A voice asks Akito to calm down.

"Until then"

"Until then?"

"This time, the student council president seems to see a bit of trouble a bit ---------- Why?"

Hashimoto reduced the distance and extended his right leg to Ishizaki.

Miyake takes it with his left arm.

"Well ... they are serious, everything is there, that president of the student council"

A word from Hashimoto really can not say "uprising of the fight".

That's why I tried it taking my best effort.

"Do it, Miyake, I will do it without reason to stop our fight"

Hashimoto goes down and takes a distance again.

More air than the previous one dominates the field.

"The fight is not good"

"I know I did not come here to fight, today is to show that there is enough power to defend."

"... You can believe me, can not you?"

Hashimoto, who still sees Hiyori's eyes, nobody will believe it.

"Well, it's okay, these guys are lying, I think they're lazy, even though they think about it, it's the class what's rumored, and for that evidence only one class was not attacked by rumors"

"Is that ... ... That's why there is a possibility that he is not the perpetrator?"

"As Shiina says, if we have rumors, do not you even suspect that the Class A bulletin board will fix a proper lie?"

"It's hard to imagine that everyone in class A knows that Sakayanagi is the crowd, even if I have rumors of Ichinose, if he rumors to class A in such a situation, he will obviously get confused."

Hashimoto sighed as he pointed to Akito.

"It's not that such reasoning does not happen, but it's a test of the devil."

Very doubtful there is no evidence. It is also difficult to show innocence.

"There is no other option than to listen to the real thing directly with your fists".

"Come on, let's stop him, Ibuki-chan, can not we win even if we fight?"

"I do not care very much if I stop selling your fights"

"We are irrelevant, believe me."

Hashimoto laughs, but Ibuki does not have a smile.

It seemed that he could not stand as much as he could resist his anger.

Besides Ishizaki, Ibuki was also "without lies".

"You, we are not licking you because Ryuuen ......... has stopped being the leader"

Ishizaki caught the limits of patience, ejecting Miyake before leaving.

Ibuki stood in front of Hashimoto and Kitou as they would fit.

"Please wait seriously"

"The rumor of Ichinose, soon on the rumors for us, apologize with Sakayanagi"

"It's a misunderstanding that we did not get rid of"

"Do not laugh!"

Ishizaki starts the rails with all his power.

Hashimoto also understands that it has become a situation in which he can no longer fit.

"... Then, what are you going to do?" "I'm determined, I'll force you to turn it off." "Are you planning to do it seriously?"

"Oh, if you do not like it, please cancel the rumor now."

"As I said many times, we do not rumor"

Even so, Hashimoto understands that it is not easy to understand.

Sakayanagi declared war against Ichinose, but as good as anything else, the proof of innocence is difficult.

Hashimoto had lost his mouth once.

"Do not laugh"

"Bad, because you do not understand too much"

Ishizaki's demands can only be overwhelming, as it is not recognized that Sakayanagi is the source of the rumors.

"If so, direct me to talk to Sakayanagi"

"You have to stop it"

Hashimoto will pay by hand, which can not be an opponent.

Ishizaki would also talk to Hashimoto because I understand him.

"Kitou, I guess I just have to do it"

Hashimoto reading the air flow, I felt that it would not end with a conversation.

If Kitou had already prepared his mind, he slowly took a position, immediately after that.

"Ura!"

Ishizaki pushes Kitou.

On top of that, Ibuki kicks out like he's jumping. Hashimoto avoided in a hurry.

"Bud!"

The cell phone and the student card jump and disperse from Ibuki's pocket which quickly jumped.

Hashimoto, who understood that he was faster and more powerful than he imagined, had a sense of crisis before paying respect.

"Ibuki is also used to fighting ... ... I forgot"

"Stop doing it!"

Akito screams as he picks up a cell phone that is rolling nearby.

But class D shows no signs of stopping.

There's no appearance of the cell phone hurting, it did not move.

I get to the Ibuki student card and I also fell at my feet.

That student card that dropped my eyes.

There is no smile naturally there, only Ibuki of a harsh expression is hostile.

But nevertheless -------

I notice it when I see "a point".

"What do you mean with .........?"

"What?"

While listening to the mercy he picked up with Akito, he quickly shook his head to the side.

The Ibuki student identification card that once stands will stay in your pocket.

"No, it's nothing, it seems better to stop the fight than that."

"Stop ......... how?"

We already have a 2 to 2 chart, and the second round is starting. "Yes, I do not know what to do"

"It's dangerous, Kiyotaka-kun ........."

I'll tell him to stop Haruka and Airi.

"...... That's right, is it better if you leave it to Akito?"

Akito is interrupting to stop the next conflict.

"Do not bother you, Miyake!"

It was Ishizaki trying to push past the power, but Akito grabbed that hand and pushed it down hard.

"Well, leave it!"

"Mal, Ishizaki: I do not like guys like you"

"Do not bother!"

Ibuki points at Akito's head and kicks out.

Akito, who flew out of Ishizaki in a hurry, avoided kicking a long way, but lost his position.

Albert's big hand grabs Akito.

"Albert restricted"

"Cut ... ..."

Having been pressured by Albert from severity from above, there is no doubt that the resistance is a brilliant man. As a class D, we decided that we can not lose if we can make a figure of 2 to 2.

"I was going!"

Shout of Ishizaki. At the same time, Kitou's hand pointed at Ibuki's head.

"Do not lick!"

Ibuki, who reacted quickly to that hand, starts Kitou's hand.

"They really started fighting ... ... ... what should we do?"

We can not stop it, we are four people who look at us.

"There is no choice but to start, but it is worrisome when the people in class C are in ... ... ..."

While paying close attention to Ishizaki's uprising, Hashimoto had also focused his attention on this.

"It's a coincidence that I came here, but there's something I want to say, like the people of Ishizaki, our friends ....... Ayanokouji is also
white of rumors and it's in my head. "

When Akito appealed like this, Airi tried to sit vigorously vertically by his side.

"Wow, that seems, it's a nice rumor that I like Karuizawa."

"Why, they're not cute at all!"

A quiet beloved unexpectedly raised a voice and refuted it.

I try to match it, I'll put words to Hashimoto.

"I do not want to say such a thing, I am also suspecting that Hashimoto"

"......... I guess it was just me who saw the secret meeting between you and

Karuizawa the other day. "

"My secret meeting?"

Not only Airi, but also Haruka's face was for me.

"There's nothing strange"

"Really? But, Kiyotaka-kun, you have a good image with Karuizawa san for a moment ... ... ..."

If it's Airi who watches me often, I know.

However, it is very important to let Hashimoto tell this conversation.

It is necessary to inform about the relationship between Kei and me so that people who know him know it. It is because the main premise that was imposed as a mediator on the hand of chocolate would not hold without a reasonable close relationship.

I am pretending to know how my colleagues understand the relationship between Kei and me.

Because it is excellent, he closes his possibilities.

While drawing my eyes on me, I extract the testimony that it could be ambiguous.

As a result, doubt for me is diminishing.

"Now I am your opponent Hashimoto Oh!"

"Wanting ... ... was something worrying"

"Please, do not stop it anymore, Ishizaki-kun, I will not let you at least."

Hiyori will speak to Ishizaki with a strong tone.

I could not even ignore it, looking back as if I was in trouble.

"But but!"

"Even if you confess Hashimoto-kun in a conflict fight, if you confess to having committed a brutal act, it will not be a test, Sakayanagi, who is the key person, probably will not accept anything, it was impossible to admit it. good?

"Should I and Ibuki sleep well?"

"It seems hard to say, but it is, please support now."

"You brought us, you're not a strange story to bear it."

"Make sure you get your money back"

Hashimoto whistled as interesting listening to such interaction.

"It was Shiina-chan instead of Ishizaki who established this place"

"Please, give me also Albert-kun"

When they told me, I slowly let go of the restriction.

"Everyone in class C also made a noise."

Say that, lower your head deeply.

"It's a one-sided story, even if we end up with this, we're suspicious and we can not be defeated."

"You can forgive me?"

Hiyori received Hashimoto's words from the front. Like Hashimoto, you know there's nothing to throw away anymore.

"Well, I do not want to say that they have hurt me, this time it's time to finish, but please, stop doubting more about us, if you doubt that you bring me some evidence."

I managed to correct things in some way before it became a big fight, but with this, the relationship between class A and other classes has progressed to the point where it can not be repaired.

Part 7


The night of the day. I was calling Horikita's studios.

"There are things that you rarely contact about me"

"There's something I want to ask"

"What"

I look at the student cards of about two students and report the points I noticed.

"It will not be a bad understanding"

As I said before, a surprising reaction returns.

"That way of saying that, Student Council ... ... No, I heard there is no precedent"

"Yes, except when it's not a simple mistake."

Of course, the possibility of errors can not be ruled out.

But it is true that this type of error does not happen too soon.

"This school is changing and evolving every year, of course, there should be a meaning in the event, maybe something useful for you that you have noticed before anyone else"

Even if such a day comes, I would like to finish without being useful if possible.

"In your first year, maybe once again it's the end of the special exam for a year."

One year 'ha' means that circumstances are different from here.

"Although this is a story until last year and it is not a certainty, as long as it was before, there are still more opportunities for special examination more than twice in three years"

"For you, the disaster will continue"

Every two years led by clouds will not be safe if it is to support class 3-B.

"It's true that the situation is unpredictable, but it's not your concern."

As expected, the former president of the student council, it seems that he does not believe that his situation is in a dilemma. I am acquiring the ability to overcome the current situation and fight. I feel so proud

However, it is a story that only Horikita studies until the end.

As the goal of Akane Tachibana, Nagumo points to where it can be destroyed.

"I should worry about the whole year."

"If the Student Council supports, it is likely that you can eliminate it."

"Oh, it's possible, of course, if you do too much, you lose confidence on the school side and you can break by force, but it's Nagumo, you know, is there a problem with Kushida?"

"I found it in that case"

"A revision of Ichinose crushed, seems to move us somewhat behind the scenes."

"I'll contact you again"

I finished what I had to listen and finished the call.

Part 8


Then, a couple of days in the blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Ichinose, who was a whirlwind presence, never showed up at school and was on vacation.

However, until the end of the degree exam, on February 24, it was finally the day.

Finally, Ichinose came to school. Although I did not see it directly, many people are paying attention to the Ichinose trend that did not show up at school for more than a week. The information arrived quickly.

However, it is important only for class B, and it is important for the end of the qualifying exam that will be closed tomorrow for class C.

"Well, Ayanokouji, Akito, Haruka, Airi are all hitters."

During the lunch break, we would gather around the reverence table before class.

It was to finish the simulation test done by Keisei.

I did it voluntarily during the night and I prepared to test skills.

"Ura Kiyopon 90 points and amazing is not it"

While eating a sandwich, say Wahuu surprised.

"The tests done by Keisei were perfect, are they similar?"

Three of them are somewhat scattered, but it's about 80 points before.

"The practice test and the simulation test that I did, if both can be solved, the exam is first problematic"

"If you receive a certificate from Keisei it's a quick victory."

Because Keisei was also encouraged this time, he turned the elaborate shoulder.

"Thank you very much for your kindness ... because I was anxious about everything, tests and tests ..."

"No, I guess this is what I can do."

He seemed a little embarrassed, and Keisei scratched his nose lightly with his index finger.

"But today is not really necessary to do anything?"

"I have spent a lot of time studying a lot during the last week, so I want you to take a day off, what you learned carefully during the last day can not get rid of the subject in silence, it is dangerous for people who are attacked by drowsiness in production, so, if trivial errors are eliminated and points are obtained, it will not matter. "

"Ok, I'll follow Yukimo's instructions."

While making a mysterious greeting, the girls and boys nodded their heads.

Suddenly, the sound that opened the door roared violently in the classroom.

"Everyone is amazing!"

Let's finish the lunch slowly, such a time.

"Wow the worst ... ..."

Haruka was surprised and seems to have dropped the sandwich she had in her hand to the ground.

"Hey"

Haruka, who got upset in a bad mood, looked at Ike.

"It's a festival! Now a class of people has entered class B!"

A story like that comes into action.

"When Ichinose returned, Sakayanagi moved ..."

Horikita, who also had lunch in the classroom, got up hurriedly. I jump from the classroom without speaking to myself. Sudo and Hirata, who were watching him, also left the classroom following Horikita.

Tomorrow is the end of the grade exam.

If we do the final finishing, it will be only this day.

The goal of making a direct attack to stop Ichinose who came back.

"What are you going to do Akito ... ..."

"There's no choice but to go, and there are people who can stop when it comes to something like the other day."

"Oh yeah".

"Well, Haruka and Airi, they stay here, although there are many people, it does not make sense to go all"

"Yes, I know, we should eat slowly"

"What about Kiyotaka-kun?"

"I ----"

It is a situation in which reverence is also increasing with Akito. It is difficult to say that it remains.

"Once it's followed, I do not think it's useful."

Three people leave the classroom and go to class B.

It seems that there is already contagion in the corridor, people are gathering clearly.

"What did you come to do, Sakayanagi?"

When I got to class B, Shibata was close to Sakayanagi.

"For what purpose, I came to save you from class B?"

To the left and right of Sakayanagi are Kamuro and Hashimoto. Kitou and other students did not appear. It would be a small amount of behavior of people since it would be a problem to walk with too many people.

"What do you mean, Sakayanagi?"

Ichinose, who was trying to be surrounded by several students in the back of the classroom, speaks.

"Hopefully, Ichinose, you do not have to leave"

"That's right, Ichinose, do not go."

I cling to Ichinose and try to avoid contact with Sakayanagi.

"To begin with, I was glad that my physical condition had been recovered, I really wanted to talk faster, but I was busy with my study, which was good at that time, it was in time for the end of tomorrow's test" .

"Yes thanks"

A conversation between two people leaving a distance.

Naturally, you will understand that all students of class B are hostile to Sakayanagi.

Even though it's lunch time, no one is missing.

I probably intended to keep Ichinose together as a whole in class.

However, Sakayanagi did not seem to be moving at all, seems to enjoy a completely absent atmosphere.

Ichinose who is in the midst of rumors is also an act of anticipation to not use the dining room, etc. during the lunch break.

"I told you to save them, Sakayanagi"

"Yes"

Sakayanagi smiles at Kanzaki's question and nods.

"Is that what you admit you left the rumor?"

Kanzaki continued that she could not understand if she came to apologize.

"It was not me who ran the rumor"

"... ... then what do you mean by having saved?"

"Remember that Ichinose kept many points before, remember that the rumors spread, since at that moment he was calm because there were no traps"

"What do you mean by that?"

Kanzaki says relentlessly. It is to not give a spin to Ichinose.

"This is just my imagination, but ... there is a limited way to keep a lot of points without fraud, we regularly collect private points from classmates ... In short, I decided that Ichinose is playing a role as a bank."

"That should not be answered"

Parties involved in the class B strategy. Naturally, reject.

"Well, I'm not asking for that answer separately - if only Ichinose is playing the role of a bank as my reasoning ... ... it's very dangerous, I thought it was something that had nothing to do with it."

Having said that, I will send a line of sight to Ichinose, who will look at Sakayanagi in the distance.

".................."

Ichinose did not answer, and stared into his eyes.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Ichinose Honami "

Sakayanagi is useless. You certainly persecuted Ichinose.

Ichinose, who had no choice but to fight with the weapon called silence, was driven to the limit of the limit.

With just one click, you can shoot down from the cliff.

I was creating such a situation.

However, I can not finish with that hand.

"Will you open the way for a moment, Chihiro-chan, Asako-chan?"

"All right"

"It's okay, I'm fine with me"

Saying a smile so soft, Ichinose advanced slowly.

I'll shorten the distance with Sakayanagi.

However, eventually Ichinose confronted, not with Sakayanagi but a classmate in the classroom.

"... ... I'm sorry guys!"

When Ichinose stood in front of the teacher, she tilted her head at all the students in class B.

"Oh, why are you apologizing, Ichinose ... do not you have to apologize for anything?"

Shaken Shibata tries to block Ichinose's word. "We're going to stop him, Shibata-kun, she's trying to confess" Sakayanagi laughs pleasantly.

"I've kept myself hidden all the time during the past year ... ... ..."

"Wait Ichinose: you do not need to speak anything this time."

Although Kanzaki, who felt disturbing things, stopped trying to stop, Ichinose will.

"I think that in recent weeks there were strange rumors that were on my side ... There is only one thing that is not a lie, which is written on the letter ... ... I'm talking about being a criminal"

Drawing out those words, Sakayanagi smiled cheerfully.

"That's the real thing"

I discovered that the interior of the noisy classroom calmed down.

"It seems that the group of smart people here are not considered at all, so please tell me in detail, Ichinose-san, what kind of mistake did you misunderstand?"

"I am -----"

Ichinose is trying to continue, once he sounded his throat.

"I confess I was silent to everyone ----- from now on."

So says it, Ichinose is eating a past that has been sealed.

"I have hidden a crime, it has to do with shoplifting ...... ----"

Shoplifting, Ichinose the honor student.

The fact is, it would be that it surprised the public, such as Akito and Keisei, not just the B class

It does not look like students, just like to do such a thing.

"Honami-chan ......... shoplifting ... is it true?"

"Yes. I'm sorry Asako-chan"

The Ichinose while apologizing, begin to talk about its creation.

"I lived with 3 people, a mother and 2 younger sisters, my mother's family was not rich, but I never thought it was unfortunate." While my mother worked while raising two children, then, when I was an elementary school student, I was going to work if I graduated from high school, because I spent a lot of money to go to high school, after finding a job and helping my mother, I was thinking

in supporting my two little sisters, but my mother objected, since my mother sincerely wishes my sister's happiness, as a mother she wanted two daughters to be equally happy. "

Ichinose tells his past.

"Even if I do not have money, I learned that I can use the special affiliation system if I study a lot, I could grow myself studying desperately, and they told me that I was number 1 even at school
... .... Summer was a third grade student in high school ... ... my

mother collapse ".

To support the day-to-day life, Ichinose's mother was still working.

In order to raise your daughter, only in the dust.

"My birthday was close, my sister had never had anything to give my mother or a gift for me, my sister is still a high school student, although I should be more spoiled, I continued to endure, I did not buy clothes I wanted, I did not walk with my friends and I bought, I endured, I endured, I endured ... My sister
........ I wanted it for the first time, it was a hair clip that was

popular last year. It was something that my sister's favorite celebrity used ... To be able to buy her hair clip, my mother forced a change. I believe that ".

But ---- suffered in an accident I am hospitalized, it was no longer a birthday gift away, but the fact is that.

"My mother apologized crying in a hospital. Now, while my sister's face she had fought for all my boos. The crying, the face of my sister who was screaming because of the hair clip that was waiting. Such a sister, I do not blame her. ...... I hope only once,
the gift".

Confession, Sakayanagi had continued to hear in the unexpected smile to change.

"Not unless I recover my sister's smile from ......... of some

way like a sister. I thought, that on his birthday, after school, he would visit the store. "

Even now, the price would have to be high at that time.

"I think my feelings at that time were definitely dark, not good ... ........ It's not a big thing to do bad things for me

sister from time to time I will do bad things in the world. I have such feelings. I have such feelings. We do not need to be blamed for what we have continued to caress. It is an allowable act. Selfishness, selfish interpretation. I will make more than 10,000 yen. I stole the hair clip I wanted for my sister .......... "

Ichinose talks like spitting heavy things.

"Acting to make all people unhappy, but at that moment I wanted my sister to be willing to do something"

That triggered it.

"... I should not do it"

Ichinose spits and spits.

"After all, criminal acts are criminal acts, no matter how much they repent, they will never disappear"

Match the words perfectly.


"You were supposed to be caught?"

At that question from Hashimoto, Ichinose shook his head.

"I took the hair clip and left the store, the first robbery in a store, the first crime, was not found by anyone, then, as soon as I got home, I gave my sister a hair clip. Since I stole it was nothing more than packing, it was a nice gift, but I felt really pleased with that smiling face, I felt guilty for a while, but in a different way, after all, feelings of guilt increased. "

Ichinose laughs with self-propulsion.

"The daughter was going to be a bad thing, but the mother is not supposed to notice. A gift that I told myself, keep it a secret from my mother. I mean, I'm not ... My sister I think ... It was assumed that

I had never bought anything, I had stolen at that time. I saw a serious and angry mother who hit me and took my sister's gift. My little sister cried. I do not think I understood, I was taken to the store by my mother, who had to stay in the hospital. I was waiting for forgiveness after the sin I committed, at that moment the weight of the crime I committed. I understood for the first time what kind of excuses I put, crime is not affirmed "

That is Ichinose's past. The hidden past.

"In the end, the man in the store did not protest to the police, but the riot spread in the blink of an eye and I closed it in the same shells, almost half a year, a third-grade student in high school, I just followed living in a room .......... But I thought I would go back again.

when my teacher told me that this school existed. The entrance fee and the registration fee were exempt. Also, once you graduate, you can get a job anywhere. Let's do it again from the beginning "

Ichinose, who finished talking about everything, once again, lowered his head to all the students in class B.

"I'm sorry everyone, this kind of useless and miserable leader ..."

"There is no such thing, Ichinose"

Shibata, who was listening nearby, said it.

"I was convinced that I heard about this story, Ichinose is a good guy after all."

"Yes, Ichinose may have done bad things, but ----"

Kang!

The sound of hitting a cane on the ground was sharp.

"Please stop, can you make me laugh? Everyone in class B"

Voices advocating for Ichinose.

"It's a really desperate drama, do you talk about unnecessary past details and you're going to feel compassion? The theft of tents is a robbery in any circumstance, there's no place for compassion.

"I worked ".

Upon hearing that word, the facial expressions of the ward of the neighboring gods forced a moment.

"Yes, it's true, the background of the past has nothing to do with that."

"It is true that you committed a criminal act, that is, will you not steal a private point that we have now at the time of graduation?"

"...... I can not do that ... Sakayanagi, if I ignore the intentions of

everyone and I imitate him so that he arrives at class A, that's a betrayal, I suppose the school allows it. "

"Well, you're a wise man, so I will not do that kind of thing like that, but I wonder if I'll go to Class A with all the guarantee of being guilty of inviting the sympathy that I show here right now?"

Sakayanagi pursues without rest.

"Well, I ... No matter how much I tried, all my efforts can be hypocritical, the sins I committed never disappear again"

The label is attached as criminal.

There is no doubt about whether the betrayal is done will not disappear.

"I guess everyone understood who Ichinose Honami is, while he's establishing that leader, he has no chance to win class B."

He pushed reality hard.

"Now I will return all the private points to the students at this point and I will come out of the class B leader. You must do something like that and it will not be long before your bad rumors disappear, is not it?"

Ichinose closes his eyes.

Organize your breathing quietly.

"Ichinose ... What do you want to do?"

A question from Kanzaki representing class B.

Either to continue with the leader or not.

It's because Ichinose himself decides it.

If this was the first broken heart.

Ichinose could not stand and may have broken up with him.

However, Ichinose's heart has already been broken.

No, he broke it down.

And it was completely recovered.

The broken part becomes stronger than before and the strength increases.

"My confession is over with this!"

Saying that, he gave Sakayanagi a smile.

"I certainly do robberies in stores, I think there is no place for compassion as Sakayanagi says because sin is a sin, so I will not run away, but in reality they did not ask me for punishment, in other words, it is something to compensate that crime is not it exists originally. "

"It's something you say is often a shame, it's not a bad guy who steals in a store."

"It may be like that, but I will not look back, I will not be tied in the past."

I will smile at my classmate and Ichinose will continue.

"Even though I'm such a shameful person ------ Everyone, will they follow me to the end?"

he said it

A momentary silence.

However, Ichinose did not say it optimistically.

I was about to start crying and I wanted to run away. Ashamed of the past.

I was still moving forward.

It is impossible for a class B student who has enjoyed together for a year without knowing it.

"You are determined to follow!"

Shibata screams with a smile.

At the same time, students in class B, all but one, send a unanimous beer.

Personality for Ichinose.

You can feel the thickness.

Both Akito and Yukimura showed a happy face to be fascinated with class B.

Not only the full B class, the students of other classes, there are no other students with a voice that they support so far.

invalidated


I'm also sorry with Kamuro. That is why it is a word that can be taken as a progression of withdrawal.

"Fufu"

Sakayanagi laughs.

"Huhufufufu"

Once again, this time more.

"To be sure, you did well for class B. But as you said to yourself, it does not mean that the criminal's past does not disappear, the rumors about you will continue to spread for a long time."

"Yes, I will not run away from that."

"It's fine then, completely ------"

"Haha, everyone there until that"

When Sakayanagi tried to respond, teachers and students appear in class B.

The president of the student council, Nagumo, and a teacher in the class B classroom, Hoshinomiya Chie.

"Many great things came together, is this a problem among first-year students?"

"It's certainly a skirmish for a year, but since today we will prohibit the behavior of easy-to-see rumors."

"...... What does this mean? I do not agree with the mouth order of

the box in Ichinose's rumor, so whatever it is at the beginning, I heard that Ichinose himself is getting upset, even once next to the school. Were there some? "

"That's not Sakayanagi, this is not an Ichinose problem anymore"

Nagumo responds to Sakayanagi like that.

"... ... ... ... What do you say?"

A brown pillar stands in front of the Nagumo that is about to explain.

"Although I trust the details, it was clearly confirmed that a battle is going on for the defamation of wrestling between you and the first-grade student." The amount of rumors launched is close to 20. There are more rumors in the school. they are rumors, but if it is valid or not, the school does not want the rumor to cause individuals to continue spreading, so the one who listens uselessly, I will notify you that there is a possibility of being punished. "

To the extent of the rumors that they do not know about permanence, the school that had been tolerated so far has taken action.

"......... I see, is it something like that?"

Sakayanagi understands everything in words.

"The side of the school raised a heavy sword"

Horikita, who has come to see the situation, must also be seen.

"But it's hindsight, it's no wonder that now everything in the class is saved. What refers to Ichinose was the beginning of things, plus the Sakayanagi camp will not be able to hit. Hondou-kun, Shinohara-san and Sato, the rumors of standing will also calm down with this. "

"That's right".

"It was too much, Sakayanagi thought he tried to do all the classes with the same strategy at the same time, but he became stubborn because it was too visible, it seems it was a girlfriend of war who went too far"

After saying that, Horikita remains silent.

And then I opened my mouth a little.

"But -----"

"What happens?"

"No, it's nothing"

Having said that, Horikita did not speak.

"Let's get up, if our school moved, our turn is unnecessary."

Sakayanagi, who understood the situation, ordered her classmate to leave.

Class B class was noisy, but he got very excited just once.

Class A was devastating

Part 9


Upon returning to class C, Haruka talks to Akito with a sample. "How it was, class B, I dream like a terrible fuss" "Unexpected development, Ichinose said goodbye to Sakayanagi" Akito clearly says what happened in class B.

The truth of Ichinose's gossip story and the rumors spread in the grade are being notified that it will not be broadcast in the future.

"A teacher will stab you when you have an afternoon lesson."

"I rob in stores, I'm surprised, but I'm a bit convinced then, if I can touch the past, I do not want to be touched, I definitely want to take a break"

Haruka, who knew the circumstances, made comments to defend Ichinose.

"Anyway, the mutiny is over, let's concentrate on the exam without being disturbed by the rumors"

"It was a good thing, Kiyopon"

"Well ... that's right."

And the phone rings.

"Whose is it?"

"It's a number without registration"

I showed the numbers to Haruka. It's different from the number that came last night.

Get up and answer the phone within walking distance of the group.

"Hello"

"Ayanokouji-kun?"

I recognized the voice quickly. It's Sakayanagi.

"Why do you have my number ... ... it's not hard to find out?"

"Well, there's still ten minutes to go for lunch, can not you come out?"

It was easy to reject it, but it is also problematic to take a time later.

"Where should I go?"

While you are speaking, I will appear in the hall.

"Well, how about the entrance on the first floor?"

"I get it"

Turn off the call and I'll go to the front door.

I thought Kamuro and Hashimoto could be there, but Sakayanagi was the one who was there.

"Please, do not worry, nobody is taking you at this time, it was really excellent, Ayanokouji-kun"

"What are you talking about?"

"It seems you were moving under the water in a place I did not notice, although there are still some mysteries that I can not solve, I do not think I'll ask for answers, but why not protect Ichinose? I thought, I was just worried about that point."

Saying that, Sakayanagi stared at me.

"Wait ... I can not see the story."

"Because I rescued Ichinose-san, she was able to open in that place ... No, I can only believe that I was able to recover, probably she confessed the past for the first time in that place, well, I should have said it in advance."

"Who is that opponent?"

"I do not know".

No wonder we have reached that conclusion.

"You used the Kamuro to move me, right?"

"Kamuro-san?"

"Past Ichinose was the robbery, before clarifying the story, it was approved only for me."

"That's what he did without my permission."

"No, that's different."

"Why can you say that?"

Apparently, it seems to me that the answer is being asked by me.

"As proof of the theft, a bottle of alcohol that he offered me, I did not steal that day, it was Kamuro stealing at the beginning of my entry."

"What is the basis for that?"

"The expiration date". After confirming the expiration date of the beer cans delivered by Kamuro, I confirmed the expiration date of the same brand of alcohol cans in the convenience stores. They can be placed in the store. There was a difference of more than four months from the Japanese award deadline. In the first place, it happens that he was more than four months old. Kamuro said that alcohol can be available at that time. If it was said that it had been received, if the alcohol had been prepared, it had been hidden beforehand, if we had contacted each other directly after having left my room and received alcohol. It will be said "

At that time, Kamuro was supposed to have contacted her and talked about Ichinose's past.

"Why did he do something like that?"

"To get me out, is not it?"

"Fufufu, truly, it is or could be placed as Ayanokouji-kun"

"In this case, it was easy to look at it, instead of doing it."

It was Sakayanagi, which is not the other thing that put water on her.

I touched Ichinose with my own hands and handed her help to Ichinose with my own hands.

Of course, in a very indirect way.

"Everything is for you to have your interest, Ayanokouji-kun"

Sakayanagi sticks a cane and walks slowly while closing me the distance.

"I did not mind breaking Ichinose-san as it is, but I was hoping that if you leave the thread of the possibility that you intervene, the possibility was half ... but ... it was an ideal development."

That is to say that it does not matter if there is the existence of Sakayanagi as Ichinose.

"Please fight with me, Ayanokouji-kun"

"If I do not do it?"

"You could say that it will not cause much damage, but I will reveal that you are a masterpiece that heads class C. It is not a story that can be done with the categories of rumors, you can understand it."

Sakayanagi slipped in speechless to let the school side ban the pros and cons in the rumors.

"How do you accept it?"

"You win, you are a class A, I am class C, the difference is clear."

"I do not know what the content of the next test is, but let's fight in that order: if I win, I promise I will not talk about the past at all."

Although it is not a bad condition, there is no guarantee that it is protected.

There is no way to leave the sound recording.

"I can not believe it, but I have no choice but to believe, otherwise your past will be exposed at the end of the white day and it will be difficult to continue your daily life."

"You must do whatever you do, but if that happens, I will not be intimidated when you fight with you"

"... ... Huh ... that's right, Ayanokouji-kun is the person who says it".

Sakayanagi herself must know that it is not easy to win or not.

That's why Sakayanagi has not told anyone about my past.

"Then, you should bet your expulsion, and as a guarantor, you can use my father as president of the school as a witness"

Sakayanagi let's see the absolute confidence in your game against me.

"Of course you do not have to leave school, even if you lose to me, you do not want to bet anything special, but I will only announce that you were the masterpiece of class C. If you do not risk it, you can simply abstain."

I'm going to ask my question, how's that? "If that condition is good, let's accept it"

"Thank you, Ayanokouji-kun, finally my boring school life is about to end"

Smiling satisfied, Sakayanagi retires.

I decided to call one of the shadows of this era.

It is neither Horikita, nor Kei, nor older Horikita.

"I thought it was time to get in touch with me, good night, Ayanokouji-kun"

CHAPTER 7: HOW EVERYTHING WORKS




The story goes back to Friday, February 11, when a letter was published saying that Ichinose is a criminal.

The synchronization of Ichinose and the synchronization in which the Shinto shrine touched the robbery in a store after speaking.

I decided to make a rock against Sakayanagi's strategy. In order to execute it, on the other hand, I made a phone call to a student, she had issued me a request to come to her room.

And the promised time. Instead of a bell, a discreet blow echoes in the room.

The door was already open, so I opened the door as it was.

With the cold wind blowing, the fragrance of a light flower tickled the nostrils.

"Good evening, Ayanokouji-kun"

It is Kushida who lowered the tone of voice on one level because it is turning around at 12 o'clock at night.

"It's not bad for such a time.

"It's okay?"

"It's cold at the entrance"

"Yes thanks"

I go up to the boys' room in the middle of the night.

On the other hand, it is a one-to-one situation. There is no mystery, even if you did not like it normally.

However, Kushida went up to the room without hesitation.

"Ayanokouji-kun, it's a bit early, but I'll give it to you"

I take out his chocolate box with the pink ribbon, and put it in my coat.

"It's okay?"

"Because I have a lot to transmit on the 14th, I'll give it if there are people who can do it early."

If that is the case, thank you.

"So, what happened, why do you want to talk to me? It's not normal to call at that time."

If you are casual, you can do it in the morning or the day. I doubt there is something natural.

"There is something I would like you to consult"

"Oh ... ..."

After a bit of surprise, Kushida continues.

"I thought Ayanokouji-kun hated me and I thought that the consultation would not be done anymore"

"I thought you were avoiding me?

"Haha, that's right, is not it?"

It is neither a front nor a back. Intermediate Kushida laughs.

"But you have Horikita-san, is it better you trust me than something like her?"

"There is something that can only be achieved by you, which is not the other"

"I do not know if I can become powerful, but I do not mind listening to it because it's free, but what kind of cooperation do you want?

It seems that I am not able to deduce the contents and tilt my head.

"I want to inform my personal information of a student who has problems if it can be transmitted, that is, secretly within a year"

"... What do you mean?"

The expression was still smiling, but the smile disappears from Kushida's eyes.

"You said that before, you already have the information to collapse any class, including ours."

The issues of consultation are brought daily to Kushida, who is always a popular person and remains a person with personality.

Even if it is not as high as class C, there are few things that are captured by the information of students in other classes.

"Why would you want to know something like that, Ayanokouji-kun?"

"Now you know that Ichinose is suffering from being rumored?"

"Yes, I heard there was something wrong written in that letter today ..."

"It's to stop it."

"Well, I do not understand very well, is that the intention of Ayanokouji-kun or?"

"Horikita does not matter"

"Well, it's quite thick, Ayanokouji-kun is kind, Sudo-kun is helping you"

Of course, Kushida knows that when I entered school early, I was moving in the event that Sudo dropped out of school.

"But, knowing that other people's personal information will lead to stopping that rumor?"

"Oh"

"I do not understand very well, if the rumors hurt a lot of people, is not it just to laugh all the time? Is it okay if I deviate from the subject on which he focused on Ichinose?

Save a person at the expense of a large number. Maybe it seemed like a strategy like this.

That idea is correct but wrong. Kushida keeps talking.

"I get along well with Ichinose ... I want to be able to be if there's something I can help with, I probably heard more secrets than others, but I can not say it easily, because I'm listening to that promise."

Of course.

There are few people who are pleased that the secret extends.

In that case, you should not talk to anyone, but humans are not that simple.

All expose the secret to family members, best friends and lovers.

I want to share feelings.

"I can not imitate to betray my friends, and even if I cooperate with Ichinose, are there things that can be said that I ran the rumor?"

"Of course, it is necessary to select it so that it does not"

I can not use it in too heavy secrets that I only talk to Kushida.

Even if it's a light thing that someone knows about friends, it's useless. The important thing is that some people know it, but the secret is that there are not so many people who know it. It requires an exquisite sense of balance.

"Do you think I will cooperate with unknown strategies such as betraying such friends?"

"Is not easy"

If he did not know Kushida behind the scenes, there was no room for negotiation.

It is because Kushida who plays an angel can not avoid the act of falling into others.

However, because I am familiar with Kushida behind, there is room for it.

"If you give us the right information, we will prepare for trade"

"In return?"

"I will answer in the preferred way Kushida, as much as possible"

"Does that mean you ask for your wish?"

"To be honest, that's the case."

"There's no guarantee that you can protect her, Ayanokouji-kun is Horikita's friend."

"If so, now you can secure this conversation."

"What do you mean?"

"Do not you have to take the trouble to understand?

I am a simple dress of Kushida. I have a look once at the top pocket.

"What?"

Even so, I'm going to face an opaque face, so I'm going to step on it a bit more.

"You know I do not have to say, mobile and tape recorder, or both"

We can not stop using our conversation.

"I understood, I'm being recorded"

'I think Kushida will get so much insurance'

"But did you have confidence?"

I thought I was going to try it once, I thought it was a shark.

"The recording cuts me out of inconvenient parts, its credibility diminishes immediately, I want to use it as it is inevitably to save your own behavior"

Today, Kushida came to the room from which he had carefully selected.

In preparation for the moment of emergency, he was carrying a conversation so that there is no defect on his own.

"I ... I trusted only her."

When Kushida pulled out my cell phone, he showed the screen with which he was recording.

"I finish the recording"

Kushida said that if he is completely left out of his graceful sign until recently.

"As expected from you, you knew ... After all Ayanokouji-kun was helping Horikita"

"I admit that I was aware of Horikita"

"Well, the thing is, what would it be from now on, I can listen to it at any time."

Kushida says it and returns to the previous story.

"So, how does Ichinose's rumor stop with the personal information of others?"

The bottom line is that it is there, Kushida making a posture to listen to when changing the head.

"It's ---- - involving the school that is deciding to take a quiet view"

"The participation of the school .........?"

"Against the rumors of Ichinose that they have not reached a silence and nothing measures, so, of course, but the fact is that the school still can not interfere."

"Will the school move? Is that why Ichinose should move too?"

"Even if the classroom teacher listens to the circumstances, he does not do anything at the moment and it's because Ichinose is not asking for help, so I can not leave this situation like that, I'll sublimate it, so the schools will surely take the matter seriously."

Even though it is isolated from the world, the time when the pain can be covered is over.

School where students are slandering others, school where students drop out of school, or suicide in the worst case, the position and honor of this school falls quickly.

The school can never leave problems that could become bullying.

Sakayanagi, of course, was attacking the line just so that was not the case.

Then push it to the other side of the line.

So the situation begins to forcefully move towards the direction of firefighting. Such purpose

"Everyone can not remain silent like Ichinose, does that mean that students who cry on the school side come out?"

"Well, even if there are no students to consult, before the end of the grade exam, the rumors together will invent a situation that is quite irritating, a dispute may also arise."

"If that happens, the school that is still watching can not leave it alone ..."

We disseminate information that links truth and lies, each of several classes.

Perhaps more than half of the students who pointed to the rumor would claim to be lying.

It may be that everyone does not approve anything.

However, it is naturally revealed that it contains the truth.

"If the rumors flow in the current situation, it is a class that is first suspected, which is also an advantage."

To defeat Ichinose, the Sakayanagi camp that rumored something, soon realizes that it is the door of a third party.

But if you notice it you can not do anything.

Even if I tried to deny it with all my power, I can not deny the fact of leaving aside "the rumor of Ichinose". As is true, it is inevitable that you suspect more than anyone.

"But how do you make so many rumors flow? It's not easy."

"How to make rumors flow, school bulletin boards can be used"

"There are fines for people who have run rumors that the school does not use anything like bulletin boards within the application, so you may write a bulletin board anonymously,"

Will I see how fast you write? "

The question that flew inside Kushida one after another.

"Of course, think about that risk"

"That means ... ... that you are prepared to get rid of the worst Ayanokouji-kun, is it the source of the rumors?"

"Oh, naturally I will not say anything about Kushida anymore"

Of course, although I have thought about countermeasures, I can not say at this stage.

However, it is not from the beginning, how to be interested in writing on a bulletin board in a situation where you can specify as me.

"There will be no danger, in the least".

"It is not natural for me to know too much about the internal circumstances of others, some students who think they were well informed of someone could leave"

The important thing is that I am still in front of Kushida and I will not be able to move perfectly.

There is some missing place, I need to think about it.

"However, we must carefully select the content of the rumor to reduce the worry."

"......... Yes, I know the goal of Ayanokouji-kun, I can think, we talk

of cooperation "

Thinking that it is still not fixed at this point.

"Does it depend on whether I'm going to drink the condition?"

"That is all".

It is difficult to carry out this strategy without losing Kushida.

It can also fix the lie, but then it does not echo the core of the person in a true sense.

Because the truth is interwoven without end, the environment is impatient.

Impatience is spreading and spreading.

"So, what is the condition?"

Of course, if I presented conditions that I can not drink, business would refuse.

"Leave Horikita Suzune"

"I can not accept it"

"That is all".

The best wish of Kushida.

I knew it would not come true, it would be like saying once. "It's also a retreat from Ayanokouji-kun, is not it?" "You can not accept more than the withdrawal of Horikita" "Haha"

Kushida who smiled with something was kind of funny. "But besides that, there's nothing I want." "Well, can I suggest one?"

I decided to talk about compensations on my own.

"Okay, what is it?"

"A private point that comes to me in the future, I give you more than half"

"What, it looks like Ryuuen was doing something similar ... ... ..."

It seems that Kushida knows the content of the contract between Ryuuen and class A as a matter of routine.

"You can think about it, of course, I can show the deposit / withdrawal history every month if necessary so as not to deceive you, hundreds of thousands to millions of private points will go to Kushida before graduation. information ".

A little silent Kushida to think.

"It's certainly not a bad story, but unfortunately, I'm not in trouble with the private points, I think the money has not been better, but it's enough."

Kushida has won a lot of money in the cruise test.

Even if it is used up to a certain point, it seems that you still have many points.

However, the most understandable and efficient way to negotiate is after all the money.

"Even if it is enough to be used as a subsidy, there is nothing that is in trouble like an emergency." Our teacher told us: "Private points are also necessary to protect us"

If you think about your own insurance, it is better to have up to 1 point.

"That proposal, I do not think Ayanokouji-kun is disadvantageous even if I think about it. If I say that Ayanokouji-kun is a crisis that comes out of school, I can still understand it, but I guess it's like imputation of half my soul to save Ichinose. "

"Do you like it, Ichinose?"

"I do not need such a joke"

I thought he was going to laugh, but he did not seem to have been with Kushida.

"Telling the truth, it is certainly a pain to lose half a private point, but you can also protect yourself."

"What do you say?"

"I'm the one who wants to abandon you, I do not know when I was stabbed in the back, so that's my measure of defense."

"If you go to the side that gives private points, it will be beneficial for me to have the presence of Ayanokouji-kun, is not it?"

"Oh, it's uncomfortable to turn Kushida into the enemy, I think it's worth halfway through."

Agreement concluded through the provision of private points.

Private points that will continue to be provided unless you truncate the opponent.

It is not a bad story.

"... ... ... I see".

Kushida, who had been thinking for a while, will draw a conclusion.

"Okay, I'll take care of that story, the precise condition is that I will not be hostile to Ayanokouji-kun, is that all you need, is not it something you want to keep warranted about Horikita-san?"

"In that sense, I will not be greedy and I will ask Horikita to protect me, it is more uncomfortable for people to break this agreement."

"It's a very sweet condition, is not it?"

"Would you write a letter if you are worried about your oral promise?"

"No, I do not need it"

That said, Kushida pulled out the voice recorder instead of the cell phone ... from the pocket.

Dual recording It seems that it was working not only on the mobile but also on the reservation.

"There is also evidence here ... If you betray me in any way ... ... do you understand?"

"I get it"

If it's a reaction to the promise, you can take the story to the worst side of the school.

It will be possible to exploit it by force without making it public.

"I'm anxious, Ayanokouji-kun, it's completely different from Horikita-san."

Give and take.

Hold on and take.

It is impossible for me to believe only in myself.

Unlike invisible emotions, numbers can be seen.

Horikita's way of doing it is not bad.

Relationships backed by emotion sometimes outperform relationships in numbers and contracts.

However, the obstacle to that is extremely high.

The way to preach Kushida as a feeling of resentment in oneself is wrong.

"But is it really good for me?"

"I thought it does not echo in Kushida in a small amount"

Of course, continuing to pay for private points is a burden for me.

However, that point will be erased immediately. "Is the story solved, but do I have a condition?" "What is the condition?"

"Even if it's an evil past or an embarrassing past, it will be a problem if it is made public."

"That's right ... I'll tell you accordingly."

That's what Kushida was funny and talked about the secret she was capturing.

"Who do you like and who dislike you?"

From that, I touched on information such as the student's family circumstances, the orientation history.

Kushida speaks animatedly and speaks.

Even if I reach this stage, I still do not know what my true objective is.

To save Ichinose.

He felt Sakayanagi's provocation.

Destroying the goal of Hashimoto.

The threat of Nagumo.

All those things are just one of the processes.

There was only one thing he wanted to know about a series of incidents.

The quantity and quality of Kushida Kikyo's information. To confirm

---- to leave

Even if he says to expel Kushida from a bite, it will be a problem if you confuse the way.

It was necessary to infer the power of the bomb that it carries.

And, scrutinizing the information.

Who are the rumors that are heard of who and how many people do you know about it?

I also capture the nature and characteristics of terrible students. In the sense of collecting information in this school, it can be said that there is only Kushida in at least one year.

To protect himself, Kushida's extraordinary ability was cultivated to be recognized as a sublime existence.

"I see ..."

"Did you help?"

Of course, the information we are talking about now is not all that Kushida wants to know.

Part 1


"The main room of the C class, Sato wants to get rid of the two pieces of information."

"I guess it's okay, Sato's displeasure at Onodera is known."

If it is a matter of time to get into Onodera's ear, is that said?

"I also have bad personality, but I must remember that girls are girls"

Speaking of which, Kushida takes out the cell phone and starts the chat application. Number of friends that I can not compare with me. Number of cluttered groups

"For example, this is group A made up of a part of the girls in class C, but there are not six people, but in reality there is another group made up of the same members, group B."

Mori forest, one of the members of the disease group. "I want to say that the forest is also hated"

"That's the case, if group A is a table, group B seems to be behind, sometimes saying bad words from nature, of course I do not make a stupid comment, but of course I get along with my face. So, everybody dislikes someone, it's abusive, it's normal, but anyway, this group of front and back groups is not one or two.

Kushida stood up if he was satisfied with the things he normally could not talk about.

"It's a little late, I'll be back, the agreement with you is made, Ayanokouji-kun"

While wearing the shoes at the entrance.

"Kushida"

"What?"

"You saved me today."

"Do not worry, good night, Ayanokouji-kun."

There was an opportunity to hear that Kushida approaches Nagumo.

However, I did not dare to mention the matter.

The point that Nagumo and Kushida have points of contact. This is a coincidence product. There is no hand to not use.

In this way, I began to prepare myself for each kind of 'rumor' spilled based on Kushida's information.

Part 2


Valentine's Day on February 14. On this day, I decided to deal with Hashimoto, which is lunch time, continue the queue and after school. It was predicted that Kei would give me the Valentine's chocolate, so I decided to use it.

Early in the morning or in the evening if Kei gives me the chocolate. There is no school day for a day. You can not put chocolate in the bag, because it is separate from Hirata, and it will be a problem just to have a

opponent first. So I dared to turn off the mobile phone from February 13 at night.

He is not likely to contact me in a careless way, but to do so so that he does not have to make excuses so that it is not convenient in the morning. It must be natural until the end.

When I feel a kind of impatience that Hashimoto can not get significant achievements in the queue.

So from here I decided to give you a hint of something.

At the secret meeting with Kei, he receives his Valentine's chocolate. I chose the meeting time at 5 o'clock because the Hashimoto relays always lasted until around 6 o'clock. Sure enough, Hashimoto was marking me. I kept watching me come out with a surveillance camera in the lobby.

The mysterious opportunity of contact that I showed for the first time on the road. Hashimoto has taken direct contacts with courage. Well, the result is the same, even if you look far away and do not touch.

Hashimoto was satisfied with the answer that he was lucky enough to be in frequent contact.

Hashimoto's tail ended after the next day. I changed to prepare for my final degree exam.

And this day I began to be able to move freely.

I went to school with Kei's Valentine Chocolate in my bag.

I communicate with Hiyori Shiina in the library. Of course, most of them are topics in books, nothing of love.

But the subject is different.

Before turning to the "rumor" a myriad of that will flow tomorrow.

In addition to Ichinose's rumor, class A may be doing something.

I decided to plant a seed like that. And that species will bloom in a few days. By boldly choosing Ishizaki and Ibuki who fight for the rumors, we have created a situation of uncontrollable shame. This is about order in doing things. It had to be a development like that, so there would be no difference in development.

It is important after this. When and how to write on the bulletin board.

Get in touch with the person who has that key. It was the vice president of Kiriyama who installed the arrow of the white feather.

He is a class 2-B student who points to the stasis of the Nagumo.

After talking to Hiyori in the library, I met Kiriyama in a school building that was no longer popular.

I will reveal the whole plan. Strategy to save Ichinose.

"I see, then I have the rumors on my cell phone, I do not get any merit at all."

"There is no such thing, there is also a merit in Kiriyama's benefit to President Nagumo, and with this interaction, a relationship will develop between Kiriyama's vice president and I. While we await the action of Vice President Kiriyama, the relationship will never progress."

I have never been told about Kiriyama since I met in an event.

"Naturally, I doubt enough of your power."

"Well ... So, first, please, let me make a loan instead of a borrowed order, if you dare." It should be easier to trust me when it comes to emergency development. ads is a bad story for the vice president of Kiriyama "

"That is not all………".

"Ichinose Honami is also an important student council member, if you lose it, you should repent, if you can get involved in the school by spreading rumors from the bulletin board, it will also help you protect Ichinose."

"But if I write rumors that will involve a year, that will lead to a credit problem of the Student Council."

"What's wrong with that?"

"What ...?"

"The fact that the confidence of the student council is more damaging to the president of the Student Council of Nagumo, nobody thinks it is welcome if he is looking for problems."

"If you understand that the rumors on the bulletin board are due to my writing, that's a big problem, in addition to receiving a penalty from the side of the school, it is also possible to unblock the president of Nagumo ----- -"

"Could you brag so well, are you fighting with the student council president, right? Or maybe you can no longer bow to the president of the student council?"

"What can a freshman see ... ... ...!"

The eye that includes Kiriyama's anger penetrates me.

"I heard that Kushida and the student council president contacted him and informed the former president of the student council."

"Why do you ... ... ... really Horikita-Senpai trust you?"

"She is one of the best informative students of her grade, that is, the rumors that flow through this bulletin board can make fantastic stories, it is a strategy that allowed her to leave President Nagumo."

Kushida diverts information to Nagumo, Nagumo was an instruction for Kiriyama to save Ichinose.

A route that does not do so is blurred.

"......... Do you touch me after thinking about it?"

Kiriyama thinks. When writing on the bulletin board, imagine a possible future.

However, he will not say yes at this rate.

"If you say no, I will judge that you succumbed to Nagumo, or ... I will inform the former president of the student council as a human being who is already submitted to Nagumo."

It is a word that can be taken as a threat, but it is the decisive factor in moving Kiriyama.

"You're going to do it, are not you?"

"......... when I write"

"In this place, at this moment."

If you create an incorrect time interval, there is also the possibility that it is written from a mobile other than Kiriyama.

Of course it does not matter, but I want to avoid as much as possible the risk of going wrong with future plans.

It is necessary to keep in mind that Kiriyama filters this to a third party more than anything.

"Okay, I'll give you a big loan"

"Thank you"


Show the sentences of each class on my cell phone and give them to Kiriyama.

With this operating time of about 10 minutes, this whole process is over.

There will be no students to notice at this time, but tomorrow will prevail.

Part 3


The base is now in place.

Then there is still work to break the final touches

...... Ichinose is still being attacked psychologically.

Because I knew that Sakayanagi was going to break the heart soon.

Sakayanagi's strategy was spectacularly successful, and Ichinose had been absent from school even after thinking that his physical condition was cured.

18th of February. The days when Hashimoto and Ishizaki collided with each other.

Ichinose was also absent from school on this day, already on the fifth day after losing his physical condition.

The physical condition would probably have healed. But the wounded heart is not healing?

I decided to make contact with Ichinose, who knew I was still taking a day off from school.

However, if you go out to meet blatantly the day after school or on holidays, there is a high chance that someone will find it.

So I decided to aim a weekend, when people go more in the bedroom.

Do not contact her at all on the mobile.

It was because I did not intend to give him an escape route.

I arrived at the front of the room in Ichinose and pressed the bell.

"I want to talk a little, can you go out?"

From inside, there was a reaction after a while.

"I'm sorry, Ayanokouji-kun, I feel bad, where did you come from, but I'm wondering if you'll do this again"

The voice had no ambition, but it seemed nice to judge that the cold had healed completely.

"Was that letter so big for Ichinose?"

To that question, Ichinose did not answer anything.

I sit with my back on the door in front of the room.

"Are you going to school on Monday?"

"... I'm sorry I do not understand it".

It seems that he answers me for the first time, apart from the question that approaches the nucleus.

"I have time for lunch, so let me have you here for a while."

Then, until lunchtime, I sat quietly.

"Well, I'll go back to school."

"Since I only want a little time, I will definitely go to school whenever I can sort out my feelings a little more, so I wonder if they will come back again ..."

Listening to the voice that Ichinose squeezed, I went back to school.

Part 4


Saturdays and Sundays, 21. At the end of this week on Friday, the final exam begins.

However, Ichinose did not show up at the school even on Monday.

Meanwhile, Kanzaki and Shibata, Ichinose's friends, were looking at their cell phone, chats, email. They kept sending him.

Even so, he was never seen, other than being advised not to come. As I tried to help her, I did not see Ichinose at any time in school. I left school during lunch and went to Ichinose's room. Just tap lightly and listen to a voice without waiting for an answer. "Have you been absent today?"

It is violent to ignore it after counseling and not to return again.

Ichinose's words never came back from inside.

I did not talk to her for a long time and I sat in front of Ichinose's room until the last minute, like last weekend.

Part 5


The same happens on Tuesday. The explanation will no longer be necessary.

After confirming that I was absent, I was in Ichinose's room.

He can not be hated if he is the same classmate. However, if I belong to another class, I will not suffer damage, whether Ichinose is isolated. Probably the best reason to be active.

Until the end of the degree exam, the remaining time is small.

In this way, there was even the possibility of taking a break from the exam at the end of the grade.

No, as it came out only that day, students in class B have great mental fatigue.

It may be possible to lower the score with unexpected problems.

Even if it does not come out, it resonates to the class point to a large extent.

On Thursday Ichinose will come to school and will have to reassure Class B.

If so, the time limit is Wednesday morning.



Part 6


Finally, the time limit on Wednesday arrived.

With a canned coffee bought at a convenience store, I exhale a white breath.

I will not ask for anything today.

Because it is impossible to understand Ichinose if today is the marginal line.

There is always an action.

That was so.

"It's over in February, if I pass the special test next month, it will be sunny and I'll be promoted to the second year, although it says I'll forget the heat if I'm out of place, it really seems like it."

I have repeated tests on uninhabited islands, tests on board, shuffling of paper and strange tests.

"After two years, will not a special test be changed more than now?"

"......... well ... I miss it, I can ask you ........."



He muttered like a loner, Ichinose's voice came back for the first time in a long time.

"Oh, ask me what you want through the door"

Although I received it pleasantly, Ichinose's words did not return soon.

Maybe I've uttered a word for the first time in a few days. "Why Ayanokouji will not tell me anything, do not ask?" "What do you say?"

"My classmates and my friends will convince them to come to school and they say they want me to tell them if there is a problem, although Ayanokouji-kun knows something like that, although there's nothing like that, you'll come every day ... .. ... why?

It would not be like having other students worried.

From what I can not understand, I leave school every day and lose my lunch hour.

"A student concerned about Ichinose better than me, is to persuade many times, I can not believe that such a thin relationship echoes in my heart with a thin relationship.

From the room, I heard footsteps finely.

Next to pinching a door, I felt that I sat down.

"I'm here every day because I'm waiting for Ichinose to spit"

"Spit ... are you waiting?"

Here, for the first time, I decide to enter the heart area of ​​Ichinose. "I know what sin you have committed" "Wow ..."

"Of course, even if you say you know you do not know the deep bottom, you're about to rest while you're digging Sakayanagi, how much is it for Ichinose to press hard on himself? I know, but I can not help saying something like that from here ".

"Because you know it?"

"Now that's not important, I'm not going to get away deeply from anything other than anything else."

If Ichinose does not want to talk, this story ends here.

"Probably, Ichinose is not good at talking about his problems to others, you can not save yourself, even if others can, I like that guy, that's why I'm here now."

I wanted to convey my feelings little by little to Ichinose.

The silence flows slightly.

It is painful that there is no other person who can vomit when he wants to spit out his emotions.

I have seen so many children in the White Room.

They were crushed and eventually disappeared. Those that can not happen again.

"Now I am a door, I can not touch it unless I can see it, only a door, nobody laughs when exposing a weak being to such a door".

Place coffee cans on the ground.

"What are you going to do, Ichinose ... now is your moment, right?"

The companions of Ichinose Honami are modest and calm. It is not hard to imagine that one of the leaders you can trust has thrown good words one after the other.

But that's not good. It may be a correct answer for a person who supports Ichinose, but it is a mistake when correcting a human being. Pressure must be applied to hold the screw by force.

"It's unfortunate, even if I ......."

"You have the right to deny it"

"I'm a criminal ... ... I wonder if there's anything permissible ............"

"Every human being has the right to be tolerated"

I struck in your heart.

The rest depends on Ichinose whether he will respond or not.

Ichinose opened his mouth slowly beyond the door.

"I stole from a store, so when I was in the third grade of high school, I was absent from school for half a year." I could not talk to anyone and he still blamed me. Like now, near a narrow room ... .. "

A wound in his heart was pressing desperately with my hands. I released that hand, and Ichinose began to speak.

What I have done is discover a weakness in your heart.

This story is over Nagumo. You asked Sakayanagi for the consultation with his classmates and I heard that there were students who were robbing in a store. There is no accident. I felt that my past was known by Sakayanagi and Nagumo. He did not even give a false lie, just pulling.

Being able to behave acutely, we can not show weakness.

Admit your own crime. Do you know how hard it is and how awful it is?

Many young people with hearts think of stealing in stores, she experienced some sin once. However, if you preach in front of many people, I will tell you that "I will not do anything so bad".

Of course, it is terribly difficult to recognize your sin and speak it in public. So everyone is blamed with a large number under the name of justice. And I know, the miserable end of each person. So hide. Save your sins without touching their mouth. I will live like a good person.

Ichinose wept for reproach, spent half a year alone.

And in the end he escaped from slavery ... ... No, I escaped.

However, it covers everywhere. I will chase him until he dies.

In fact, now, again, I'm standing in front of Ichinose and attacking her heart.

So we have to stop somewhere.

When I finish listening to all the stories, the lunch break will be over, but it does not matter.

Even if the afternoon class started, I only heard Ichinose's words.

Do not console or reproach.

Ichinose was crying to kill her voice out loud beyond the door.

I will not put words of comfort.

Such a thing does not make sense for now.

The opponent to fight is decided from the beginning.

Myself. Whether you can end or not, that's all.

There are only a few people, like those who can face sin in a true sense.

But when we could face sin ... People can grow one step.

It is ----- Communication between Ichinose and me before entrusting everything to my colleagues.

That's it

EPILOGUE: THE RETURN




The end of the exam finally arrived.

On the basis of the provisional evidence, each would make several countermeasures, would have hit today.

According to the Horikita report, it seems that the people of Sudo, Ike and Yamauchi are doing quite well, so it seems that last week has dedicated test measures to the head.

Miyake, Haruka, Airi and Kei. I was able to lift enough around my area.

All other students are covered by Hirata. Since the reports that there are problems with the studies have not been raised, if you only carefully observe the physical condition, the students of the class will be able to survive. At that moment, footsteps running from behind with a small run down, weakened the momentum beside me.

"Good morning Ayanokouji-kun!"

It was Ichinose who approached with a complete smile.

"Good morning Ichinose"

"Today is the final grade exam, did you study well?"

"As it is, there is no need to inadvertently confirm -----

I do not need to imagine that Class B took much more cooperation than us and took the test measures. Ichinose who was absent until the other day, there will be nothing uncomfortable in the study.

"Ichinose yesterday was great, I think I can even miss her."

"Well, that's right ... as Sakayanagi says, I'm just a shame"

In the first place, Ichinose has no sin. The mother's appropriate response ends as a question.

It is nothing more than simply carrying your own sin. "All this, thanks to Ayanokouji-kun who brought me back"
"I can not worry about being close to a class like a student in class B. But I just thought about listening to the story, it's not like I should be grateful."

"No ... .......... If Ayanokouji-kun was not there, I'm sure I went

destroyed and collapsed like last year, so, in that sense, it was a perfect defeat for Sakayanagi. "

Sakayanagi completely controlled Ichinose and drove himself to the brink of self-destruction.

Certainly, without my intervention, I do not know what was happening.

However, there are things that should not be misunderstood.

"It will not be easy if you are very grateful, I will be in trouble, I am the only trigger, after all, if you can break your past, I can only do it yourself".

"... Yes, yes, I can not cancel what you have done, even if the time has passed, the day my sin has disappeared, although it may not arrive,

but ......... next time I can face my past quietly. "

It will be fine now. No matter who is blamed, Ichinose can probably stand up.

A given change gave Ichinose stronger growth than any other person.

I believe that it has become a powerful rival for other students in the future more than ever.

Even so, there are no absolutes in life.

"If you feel like losing, please tell me again."

"Okay .........?"

"At that moment ------ I see ... I should be able to do it if I listen to the story."

Ichinose stopped walking and stopped suddenly. "I can trust in you ... ... ...?" "He should be good to me" "Really?"


"... .... really".

Just when it bothered me, I nodded as if I was a little confused.

Then a little thank you goes back.

"... ... ... ah, there is, ... ... ..."

It was an unusual reaction for Ichinose who is always excited.

I shook my face to the left or to the right, wondering why I thought that figure was strange.

"But ... will not you regret one day?"

While looking at this, Ichinose asked me such a thing.

"Well, that's why we stopped in class B. If Ichinose is going to graduate in class A, I could be blamed for my classmates."

"OK sorry"

With a bitter smile, Ichinose is similar.

"At that time, please keep it at least secret from Horikita."

"......... Huhu ... Yes, I should do it."

The muscle of Ichinose's back walking side by side extends in a straight line.

It was like a revitalized appearance with a single trigger.

Well Only to pass the exam at the end of the course.

Ichinose silently turned his eyes towards me.

"What happens?"

"Nothing"

"You're seeing this for a while now, I'll listen to you if you have something to say."

"Well, actually, I'm sorry Ayanokouji-kun, can you wait a moment?"

When Ichinose talked about something, he could look away from the students.

His appearance and someone was evident to the naked eye of the environment.

"Sorry, I'm going for a while"

That said, Ichinose met the student who was far away from me.

"Good morning, Nagumo-senpai"

"Honami, you're fine from the morning"

"Yes I am"

Ichinose, who keeps a smiling face unchanged so far, may have been surprised by Nagumo.

"Do not you hate me, Honami?"

"I hate, towards you?"

Ichinose tilts his head wondering why.

And soon, I realized the meaning of the question.

"I have nothing to say about it, I just thank the president of Nagumo for the gratitude, thank you very much for bringing me to the student council, I will continue to do the best I can."

"Oh, apparently you're going to show us more than I expected"

Only for a moment I saw myself with Nagumo, but I will go straight back.

It is not difficult to imagine what his look said.

Ichinose Honami, breaks and plays with her own hand. I planned to make a hand as a script.

I do not like it, it was obstructed, such an eye.

I grabbed something of what was involved in this matter somewhere.

Ichinose, who lowered his head towards Nagumo, returned to me and I stopped.

"That!"

Come back, Ichinose is screaming out loud.

And I open my eyes and try to keep my words.

"All good"

While speaking, I put my hands on his bag, the movement is rigid.

"What's going on?"

"Um, that, ... oh ... it's weird ... more I was going to give ..."

It seemed like he was lost while moving his arm in the bag for a while, but he pulled something out. And I will offer it to myself.

"I arrived a little late, but you will accept my Valentine's chocolate.

I care what my class is, I have never given it before ......... Because I can not thank you with just such a thing ......... "

"You do not have to force yourself to give me something back, right?"

They spent about 14 days, it's not bad to get chocolate from a girl.

But because he does not have the action in order to get the chocolate, there is no need to push himself.

"Mumumu, I'm not surprised, do not I need it?"

"uh ... ... thanks"

It may be evident when choking the chocolate for a long time.

I decided to accept it with gratitude from Ichinose.


ICHINOSE SS

THE FIRST GIFT



Secretly, I went to the Keyaki Mall that night just before they closed. "Mmm ... I wonder which one will be popular ..."

The chocolate shop. I wandered inside the store. Since it is quite late, there is no other student in the store.

"As I thought, it's exhausted ..."

There should be a Special Valentine section in this store, but since Valentine's Day is over, it looks like the section has been removed. But, even so, this store has enough chocolate in existence.

A long variety of chocolates, of different types and colors. The price ranges from several hundred to several thousand yen. The lack of symmetry there is outstanding.

Although they mainly cater to students, they must have sold enough considering the date.

"Are you looking for chocolate for Valentine's Day?" When I felt lost, the cashier at the store spoke to me. "Ahh yes. I was, but ... how did you know? "

"It's written all over your face. That you want to give something to the boy you like. "

"Ehh! That's it, mmm, that's not the case! But I owe him a lot, or maybe I should say that he saved me ... As a thank you, I thought I'd give him a chocolate ... "

He had never given anything to anyone in the first place before. The first gift since I was born.

It's strange how it ended up being Valentine's chocolate.

"What would you recommend me?"

"Should not you just choose the one you prefer? It's all about intuition. "

Intuition, mmm? That could be the case.

Instead of making someone decide for me, it is obvious that the best gift would be the one that I personally think is the best.

"Very well then, I'll take this one."

"Thank you. Would you like to add a card with a message to this? Something like "I love you", maybe? "

"It's not necessary, it's not necessary!"

If I give you the gift with an attached message like that, I'm sure you'll be confused.

First of all, I do not even see him that way. So is. I'm just thanking him.

I'll give you the chocolate I bought, that's what I thought.

KARUIZAWA SS

A SPECIAL DAY FOR STUDENTS



February 14th. Under the cold winter sky, I came to this place not far from the bedrooms.

It was an invitation from Kiyotaka by means of a message to find us here.

I was desperately trying to hide the rapid beating of my Kiyotaka heart during our conversation.

To give someone chocolates.

If I started counting how many times I did it since my childhood, this would not be my first time doing it. But every time, under my guard, I feel that my face turns red.

"What day is today? Okay, 5 ... 4 ... 3 .... "

To hide my shame, I decided to mock me with a question like that.

"... That was easier than I thought. On the contrary, it makes me think that I will not succeed ".

"Do not beat around the bush, give me a clear answer, okay?

It's okay. I just need to be the 'great me'. Everything is fine.

"San Valen ...."

"Okay, correct answer."

I felt very embarrassed and even hid it with words, hit Kiyotaka with the box.

"This is for me?"

"Actually prepare this for Yousuke-kun, but it's not necessary anymore"

I lied

The truth is that I bought it a moment ago while I was worried about this and that.

I bought it just before the store closes so I doubt someone has seen me

"For Hirata, huh?"

"What? You do not like that?"

"No, it's just that I was thinking that means you spent some time preparing for Valentine's Day."

It was impossible for a false and transparent lie like that to work with Kiyotaka, but that false lie is the only one I have, right?

If I tell Kiyotaka to buy it for then ... that would only make me look like a maiden in love!

"I am one of those who prepare completely. Although I decided to end it, there is still the possibility that it becomes necessary, is not it? Well, although it is impossible for someone romantically inexperienced like you to understand it. "

Precisely because I know he is someone romantically inexperienced I was able to take this escape route.

But even so, surely even Kiyotaka would have had expectations?

After all, he knows that today is February 14.

"I thought you chose this date because you expected me to give you something."

That's why I asked him that.

"Sorry, that did not cross my mind"

Grr ......

He is with his usual poker face and my words are returned to me.

Although he throws them directly hard, he still maintains his calm.

"By the way, did you get anything from some other girl?"

I think he will probably be able to listen to your answer with confidence.

"Not at all."

In other words, this means that I am the first girl in this whole school to give Kiyotaka chocolates.

"You deserve it. You are a man with zero interests in love. "

"But is this really good? If you give me chocolates, I'll stop being at zero, you know? "

"That in itself will make you pathetic. You would be the guy who would need me to give him a lifeline.

I wish it would end today without anyone knowing.

And on the White day, I'll be able to monopolize Kiyotaka, right?

I was just kidding, I mean, this would mean I'm nothing more than a girl in love ...!

Inside my head, I had entered a state of panic.

KAMURO SS

KAMURO'S INTENTION



I'm in Ayanokouji's room.

For some reason.

"Give me something to drink. It will take a while. "

Ayanokouji began to prepare my request for essentials with a displeased look.

"Then I'll boil some tea or coffee."

After saying that, Ayanokouji began to prepare it.

I felt suspicion of how helpless he looked.

Sakayanagi told me to keep an eye on this man, Ayanokouji, but to be honest, I have no idea exactly what he is capable of.

"I want Cacao?"

"... I have a little."

"Then I'll ask for some of that."

Once again I made another demand without meaning, as if trying to put it to the test.

"Then what did you want to talk about? If it's cold, we could have had this conversation in the lobby. "

"Nobody will get in our way here. It is the ideal place for our talk. "

"Exactly what is it about?"

"Are you, by pure chance, being cautious?"

"It would be too strange for me not to be cautious. After all, a girl I'm not familiar with, not to mention that a student of our Class A enemy is in my room. "

"You say that Yamauchi of your class is different?" When I said that, Ayanokouji looked at me.

"Are you curious?"

"No way."

"I see. So let's not talk about that matter. It does not matter anyway. "

Right now, Yamauchi is irrelevant. The important thing is now.

"That letter about Ichinose from before. What do you think about it?"

A letter that states that Ichinose Honami is a criminal.

"What do you mean with that?"

"Exactly how it sounded. About her being a criminal. Do you think so? "

"I have no idea. Also, I'm not interested. "

"Even if you're not interested, at least for sure you thought about it. I mean, about whether Ichinose is benevolent or malevolent. "

"You can not just label someone being malevolent because he's a criminal. Just as you can not label someone benevolent by virtue of them not being criminals. "

I tried to destabilize it. To confirm if this man can really be used or not. That is the mission that has been entrusted to me.

MII-CHAN SS

RELIABLE CLASS COMPANIONS?



I asked Ayanokouji-kun for advice on a certain matter in the corner cafeteria. But I could not take the initiative and a long silence was present.

I need to do something about it, I need to do something about it.

That feeling took priority even over the matter of the one who wanted to ask him advice. I felt bad for Ayanokouji-kun, who is spending his time on me ...

"Mmm, you'll see ... mmm, it's about Hirata-kun."

Desperately somehow I managed to get my voice out. I continued before I ended up drowning my words.

"I want you to tell me everything about him ..."

I thought he had explained to me lousy too, but there is nothing I can do about it. Because after all, I can not tell him directly that I'm in love with Hirata-kun.

"Hirata and I are not particularly close, you know?"

Even after watching me panic, the tone of Ayanokouji-kun remained the same as always.

"But Hirata-kun told me that Ayanokouji-kun is the most reliable." "... He did it now?"

The impression I had of Ayanokouji-kun was that he is like the "air". Describing it as "air" can be rude in some way, but I have nothing else to think about. After all, he is a boy whose thoughts I find difficult to know. In addition, he seems a bit frightening in a different way to Sudou-kun and the others. But...

"Yes. He said that you are the most sensible in the class. He really sang your compliments. "

Hirata-kun, who cares more than anyone about his classmates, and who keeps an eye on them more than anyone, praised Ayanokouji-kun.

I've never seen Hirata-kun talk about such a energetic friend before, so that surprised me.

Although I still do not know the reason for that, but ...

"Recently it is said that Hirata-kun and Karuizawa-san, mmm ...

they broke, have you heard? "

"Of course."

It is not only Class C, it is the entire school year that is paying attention to this topic. The calamity that affected Hirata-kun and Karuizawa-san.

It was hard to believe for me too.

But I can not take action on my own.

Because I can not possibly confess knowing full well that I can be rejected.

"That's why, mmm ..."

Let's find advice. From Ayanokouji-kun, whom Hirata-kun referred to

as the most reliable. I'm a coward, but ... it's with such power

Confession.

"... H-Hirata-kun is currently interested in someone?"

Let's take the first step to overcome this cowardice. I definitely can not see myself in the mirror, knowing that my face is probably turning red. That's what I thought.

SAKAYANAGI SS

THE PREPARATIONS OF SAKAYANAGI



today is February 7. This is a story of when I was still playing with the toy known as Ichinose-san.

It was after school, when our class was over, that I got up from my seat in silence with my trusty cane in my hand. In my case, I always end up attracting attention when I walk by the fact that a cane is an absolute necessity for me.

Being unable to act stealthily can sometimes be an inconvenience.

"Are you OK today?".

The one who told me that would be Masumi-san.

She is as languid as ever.

"I think I've reviewed this before, but I think I'll get in touch with him today."

I did not call him "he", but she should know who I mean. "Ahh ... Yamauchi, right? Is it okay to leave Ichinose?"

Let's say there are two people you despise right in front of you. If you could only get rid of one, what would you do, Masumi-san? You would get rid of the one you hate most, right? "

Well ... I guess so "

That is my answer "

Right now, instead of Ichinose-san, I'm much more fascinated. by Yamauchi-kun. I did not say it out loud, but I'm sure Masumi-san understands.

"Ahh, I see. Am I going back then? "

"Yes. As always, I appreciate your effort"

When not receiving orders from me, Masumi-san left the classroom immediately. On my way to Class C, I saw a single male student walking in my path. That student used to be surrounded by several of

his followers until a while ago. But he 'Since then, he kept a low profile and is now just a shell of his old self.

"Greetings, Ryuuen-kun." When I called him that, he looked at me with those fierce eyes that have not changed. To be honest, I would have liked to call it Dragon-Boy, but if I did, we would not even have a conversation, so I avoided saying unnecessary words and just stopped in silence.

After he was dethroned as a leader, I came up with several theories of my own. But now they are no longer necessary. Since he left the stage, I can afford to leave him alone.

Do not reject whoever comes and do not chase whoever leaves. Of course, it's a different story when it comes to Ayanokouji-kun. Regardless of whether you have any intention to fight or not, it must become a sacrifice for my pride.

"Are you ready for the end of the year exam?"

"And here I was wondering what you would say, I have no intention of having an informal conversation with you"

"Please do not say that, is not it hard to study alone? If you want to, why do not you prepare for the exam with us?"

I made a proposal that I would never accept.

"Do you really think you can provoke me with something like that?"

It seems he has interpreted my good intentions as malevolence. Ryuuen-kun started walking again and mercilessly approached me

"So you leave me alone to play with Ichinose?"

The rumors that have been spreading seem to have reached his ears too.

"Speaking of which, she is currently being assaulted by rumors that an anonymous person spread."

But Ryuuen-kun just kept looking at me as if I had no interest in that. Well, let's say it's my turn for a while longer.

"If she were a student like you, constantly badly spoken, then she would not have done much harm, right?"

"What is your business with me?"

"There's no reason behind this or anything, I just wanted to talk to you, should not I have?"

"A chat, huh? Then I'll go on and I'll ask you a question too"

"How interesting, what could it be?"

That unexpected reaction from Ryuuen-kun pleased me. I wonder what kind of question he will ask me.

"I'm cheating large amounts of private points from your incompetent lot every month thanks to my contract with Katsuragi, why are you dealing with that?"

It was not something I would not have expected, but at least it's a question that does not bore me.

"Because it does not affect us significantly, for Class A, feeding yourself does not entail any risk, it does not make any sense to go out of your way to get you expelled, and as long as your contract with you remains intact, Katsuragi-kun will never make a reappearance. "

"Kuku ......."

For the first time, Ryuuen-kun laughed.

"To think that you would be cautious with small fry like Katsuragi".

"It's easy to deal with external enemies, but dealing with an ally can be annoying if an error occurs, it's an excellent pawn as long as you keep your head down and allow yourself to use it."

It does not mean that he is afraid of being objective of me. He is simply trying to provoke me. Getting this kind of reaction from Ryuuen-kun is precisely why I always end up talking to him.

"Please do your best to save 20 million points while you can"

If he can escape to the safe area, at least part of his pride will remain intact.

"I'll do that"

"Ryuuen-kun, can I also ask you a question?"

"If you want to know what a man is like, I can teach you at any time, you know?"

I am quite pleased by the provocation that fits Ryuuen-kun.

"There's no need for you to teach me, I also have my own ideal, or maybe you're saying I'm your type?"

If he stabs me, I'll stab you back.

"I have no problem in devouring low quality products, you see"

If you touch a thorn, they will prick you. Such a person is really valuable.

"If you're done, I'll go"

Apparently this beast has really been weakened. Although it is someone I needed to distrust, unlike Katsuragi-kun or Ichinose-san. Either way, it's a less annoying enemy to me, so it's a burden on my back. I can focus solely on the desire of my heart, Ayanokouji-kun.

"Please excuse me then"

But he had left. After parting with Ryuuen-kun, I once again headed to my destination, Class C. Because if my target escapes while I play, it would only have been a waste of time.

"Excuse me". I said while looking in the classroom.

"Is Yamauchi-kun here?"

The response was immediate. Of the person himself

"Ehh, that's me, but ... do you need something?"

Yamauchi-kun looked at me confused. He does not seem to be on guard at all.

"Would you mind giving me a few moments of your time?"

"O-of course I'm free ........."

You're going to make me think if you're so stupid. Well, what I have prepared is a single ticket.

"... this is not the right place, so I'll be waiting for you in the hall

next to the stairs "

And so, I invited Yamauchi-kun. Heaven or hell. I will give you a ticket that carries both. He is free to choose which one he prefers. What I have prepared is a single ticket.

"... this is not the right place, so I'll be waiting for you in the hall

next to the stairs "
