COTE CHAPTER 3A

CHAPTER 3: The Difficulty of Saving

When I get up in the morning, I check my cell phone.
While he slept, the conversation of the Ayanokouji group had taken a big step forward.
It was yesterday that the additional test was announced, it is also unlikely that the subject is the center of it.
"You can be driven by anxiety"
Particularly worrisome about Airi can be easily seen from chat sentences.
If someone in the group becomes an attack target of the class, it becomes very annoying. It is very difficult to deal with that while there is a part about how much I am involved. He keeps rummaging around Hirata and Kei, but there's no such thing either.
Even if threats or contracts close to intimidation are made, there are things that change the critical entry point at the last minute.
There is no way to avoid abandonment to 100% of concentrated criticism.
Each way someone will have to take some risk.
As the message receded, it revealed that there was an interesting proposal
Keisei I will continue reading from the beginning part of the proposal.
"One of the groups will not go to school early to collect information for three days from tomorrow?"
"Because we are a small group, it is a good idea to ride in the plan of reverence"
"It could be a good hand, I wonder what kind of story there is out there."
"I agree"
"Since I'll leave early tomorrow, leave me."
It was unanimous that we had reached that conclusion. I was moved by what was mine, but it was basically late to attach the one already read on the mobile phone, so it was written that it took the subsequent consent.
"I see".

I do not think the information falls easily, but it's better than doing nothing.
It's easy as a strategy and you can have expectations.
Since this is yesterday's interaction, it's probably time that
Haruka is already in the classroom.
In this trend, the rest seems to go to school early and I do not need to do anything.
He will vote after 3 days. That is, the policy of who should concentrate the critical votes will be resolved at the latest. Anyway, I'm lucky if the Ayanokouji group gets information in the morning.
On the other hand, let's take into account the trend of the Kei girls, waiting for the report, and let the information be obtained through
Horikita or the surroundings of Hirata, to manage Sudo.
It is important to keep the information at an early stage.

Part 1

Even so, it is familiar if it is family.
A year had passed in this bedroom, even if I noticed.
"I do not think it's the same time flow as the past"
The feeling is different depending on whether it feels fun or not.
When I learned such a thing in a short time, I did not understand it honestly.
For me, the time to enroll in high school was the same without a deviation of 1 second.
But now it's different.
Clearly the days are happening at comparable speeds over the years.
I will graduate in another two years.
It is strange that we think that day will come in a short time just for thinking like that.
"Good morning Ayanokouji-kun"
"Oh, good morning Ichinose"
If the time to leave the bedroom in the morning was almost the same, I went out and listened to Ichinose from behind. I turn around and answer.
However, Ichinose somehow tensed a little at that moment.
"What?"
By not approaching here, I will not move with the greeting posture.
"What happens?"
So when I say, Ichinose approaches with a strong movement somewhere, as if he had released the spell.
"Hi, uh, it's cold today, is not it?"
"You're right".
Every time I speak, white sighs drip.
"Did you promise to go to school with someone?"
"No, in general, in the morning I'm alone."
"Well then ... can I go with you?"
Because Ichinose asks me that, there will be no men or women, including the refusal of the students to refuse.
I nod and I agree.
"............"
"............"
When I'm alone, Ichinose shakes the subject with brusqueness, but in silence, only the footsteps of each one in my ears are heard. Ichinose walked a little behind me.
So I decided to talk to Ichinose in this exam.
"Should this test be difficult for Ichinose class B?"
A team that plays enough to overwhelm other classes, class B that is a good friend.
It is very painful to have to decide which students to exclude from them.
"Oh ... yes, it's true, I think it's the hardest test in history."
"I wonder" Ichinose's expression that casts a shadow says it.
Ichinose, the central figure of the class, is absolutely in the security zone.
Both Hirata and Kushida are different. This test is the only student who has passed the exam.
That's why the judges who have to cut someone are painful.
It is desirable that you do not participate in praise reviews, as long as you stay on the sidelines.
Maybe Ichinose may be taking such a strategy ...
"Even with such a problematic test, there's no choice but to do something."
"Oh, well, then"
"... Yes ... I have no choice but to do something".
That said, Ichinose lined up next.
That profile is laughing slightly.
"No way ... you're going to resign, Ichinose."
"Eh, did not I say anything to that?"
Ichinose takes a look of denial, but with a slight discomfort in his eyes.
Atmosphere that is willing to put it as much as an option.
"Every now and then, my classmates will not write your name carefully"
"I have not told you to retire, but there seems to be something I think about
Ayanokouji-kun. "
"It is written on the face, it is also what is put in the field of vision."
"That's how it is?"
Ichinose is trying to control in a hurry.
Is it natural or intentional?
This time it looks like the first one.
"Ha ... ... Keep it a secret for everyone"
"Are you going to sacrifice yourself to someone?"

"I think it's a bit different, I have to fight against the risks myself, I think so."
Is it a fight where I run with the risks myself?
That means you are not planning to choose an easy hand that will settle.
"I do not know, at least, will you send words to drop-out students?" Even if it is better than being sent to someone else, it should not be a hopeful development.
I can not imagine the way a student smiles and retires.
"There is not a deeper conversation here, it is not a story that I would like to ask other people, and Ayanokouji-kun is a student of class C because there are absolutely parts that can not coexist in any exam."
"I guess so".
If there is anything we can do, it is a discussion about praise.
If Ichinose has one vote, it will be possible to conduct tests in a dominant manner.
However, Ichinose is not necessarily a student who needs a vote of praise. However, it will not easily mimic giving up votes in points. So I'm not going to suggest anything.
Even if I bought only one vote, it's just an amulet.
"Even in that case, the school side is also terrible, so it allows you to leave someone, even if you can put a vote of praise on a boy in another class, after all someone has to leave."
Not everyone is welcoming this test.
Forced abandonment at this time that began at the end of the year.
"Ayanokouji-kun, are you going to be fine?"
"Well, how is that ...? I am not a student that is required so much in the class. "
"If it seems good to me, there may be room for cooperation."
"What do you say?"

"I praise another class that I have, I can put Ayanokouji-kun"
I thought it would not be cut from here, the story of a praise dance came out of Ichinose.
"With only one vote, it may be worth ... ..."
"It's a grateful offer, but I'm curious, it's not a vote I receive"
"I do not believe it, I even think it will be the most legitimate vote in this exam, a person to praise in other classes, yes, I should put it in
Ayanokouji-kun, who saved me "
It's what they told me to say in a difficult way to answer.
"Okay, so maybe I'll ask you if it's you."
"Yes, I'll remember."
That's why Ichinose laughed.
"Good morning Honami"
Behind us, such a voice came to be heard.
"Good morning Asahina-senpai"
"You're fine today too, by the way, they're both separate classes, are not they good friends?"
"Er, yes, we are good friends ..."
Ichinose replied a little shy.
"Hey ~ friend"
It is more difficult for the misunderstanding to arise if I said a little more ordinary.
"Well, Ayanokouji-kun, I can take some time off, okay?"
When Asahina approached me, I wanted a story of letting go first to
Ichinose. "Ayanokouji is fine, you do not want to move on"
Especially without displeasure, Ichinose once lowered his head and followed
Asahina
"Sorry Honami, see you again"
"Do not apologize".

There is nothing strange during the two short talks.
It seemed to build a solid relationship with older and younger people.
"That child is cute, intelligent, I have nobody to say badly for
Honami for two years. "
"Well, I think Ichinose is popular in both men and women."
"Maybe you have shot his heart"
It seems that Ichinose's somewhat artificial attitude was still grasped.
"Because it's not there"
Regardless of whether I have the same degree, I would like to shorten the time I have with Asahina as much as possible.
It seems that many things will be touched when seen in subordinate people of Nagumo. Let me know if there is a talk.
"I'll ask you if there are any requirements"
"This dry, well, well, because talking to you is
funny, I wanted to keep it a bit. "
Asahina was laughing happily until a while ago, but the smile disappears from the expression.
"I heard about the freshmen test, who forced someone to drop out of school?"
"I know what it looks like"
It seems that it has already been spoken during the second grade.
"I mean my friends thought that Ichinose imitated someone from class B to drop out of school, you know he's not an easy personality to accept?"
"Well, they do not all talk, but I think I care how class B is."
Although it is a bland expression, I gave this thought clearly.
"Well, then, how do you think Ichinose is fighting this test?"
I looked into my eyes while Asahina looked at me.
He seems to be trying more than curiosity.
Is the adverse reaction here counterproductive?

"If you follow a policy of not leaving school ... Class B saves considerable private points, and
it somehow fills the missing points and rescues those who left. It is not like this? "
"Yes, correct answer ... well, that's the only answer"
If it is a premise of not leaving school, anyone can reach this conclusion.
It simply can not be done by anyone.
"Somehow 20 million points is extremely difficult.
"It seems that she asked us for cooperation, and what do you think she answered?"
"Did he immediately respond does not agree with you?"
"... correct answer"
There is nothing else in this trend.
"Will I listen first, but can not you lend a private point easily?"
Even in class B, which has many private points, the shortage must be great.
They must miss millions of points.
"Of course, it's impossible so, if there are thousands or tens of thousands of points, there is room for more discussion, but there are dozens of millions of points that I can not put to anyone."
Asahina replied yesterday without hesitation.
"Both third and second grade students must prepare for a special test that awaits them in the future, in a situation where it is impossible for private points to survive until the end of the year.
last minute, there is absolutely nothing left to a first grade student "
I guess so.
For that reason, he had said that the sensation of Chabashira that dares to show something auspicious.
Even if an older student gets a private point as big as a sparrow's tear, it would be impossible to get tens of thousands or hundreds of points. There is a way to return it much later, but it is impossible for a third grade student to graduate.
Even if you get a permit in the form of a second-grade loan, you can still consider the large amount impossible.
"If there are human beings who can meet expectations, he will be the president of the student council of Nagumo."
"Because I'm saving well, that's why"
"So?"
The story so far quickly left the flow of the talk.
However, it seems that there is probably a condition because something has deviated as Ichinose.
"Do not rush, so I'm a student of the same class as him, so now I have doubts about lending my money to a Kouhai now carelessly ... Well, that's enough for a Kouhai, but in this exam she He will never give up, absolutely, is that so? "
"Well, it's a strategy to prevent someone other than Ichinose from leaving."
"So, for me, I do not want to borrow ... Of course it's for my own class, but ... well because Ichinose is poor."
"Have you been hit in severe conditions and the interest is huge?"
"You are in a position to lend money to Ichinose ... ... I am having a relationship with myself"
"I see".
Speaking of Nagumo.
A companion request instead of a private point?
Conditions that would not otherwise be possible. A story that is not fun even if you reject it immediately. However, if it is to protect the class, Nagumo clarifies that there is a possibility that
Ichinose can swallow it.
"Tell me something like that"
"You said, even for your own class, if you already lend a lot of private points to first-year students, we can feel painful, Ichinose makes me feel painful instead of protecting my friends, is not it?"

"I do not think so, but why are you consulting me? I'm class C, I have a hostile relationship with Ichinose."
"I do not understand it, but I thought you could handle it."
"It's a pity ... I can not complement the deficit in other classes"
If you can point to individuals instead of Nagumo, the story will also change, but it will not be like that.
"That's right, they're rivals, are not they ...?"
He is too stupid to help rival classes, grateful that a student is missing. First, millions of points, it is necessary that all classes of C join. Absolutely impossible
"I can not do anything"
"It's okay, I will not hurt anything else I can not do, for the moment, it's just a feeling of God, I'd probably bet on it."
Asahina, who hit my back with a blow, escaped.
"Because I told you so for now, I will leave it for your criteria"
As much as that, Asahina went to school non-stop.
Even from the language and the attitude, it seems not to be a lie.
"Do you deal with Nagumo?"
It is not like that, but it seems like an Ichinose strategy.
I could certainly avoid finding victims in the classes. It is a kind of pairing, and because there is a lot of savings, there is the possibility of realization. It seems that it is becoming an obstacle that the conditions of the company are high from the talk of
Asahina If your relationship is not painful, it would be safer to borrow private points before Nagumo's mind changed.
Well, it is difficult to take immediate action when it comes to associating with the opposite sex.
I wish I could cooperate, but it was fine, but I can not do anything for the money.
Probably the deficit is 45 million. It is beyond the scope that can help.

Although it is cheaper to cut a group, what does Ichinose put in the balance condition?
"On the character of the person, ... ..."
It is not difficult to imagine what happens in the future.
Part 2

In this exam, it is difficult to argue within the class.
The signs of drifting in the classroom were bad, and it was transmitted that it was tingling.
"Good morning Kiyopon"
"Good Morning"
While being welcomed by Haruka, she sits in her seat.
I could not feel the ambition in the expression of the students who went to school.
It seems that the part from which the critical vote is entered interferes and can not maintain the normal class relationship.
This condition will continue until the special exam ends.
And after a special exam, it will continue for a while.
"The classroom environment is dark"
This message is sent by Haruka to other individuals.
"What has changed? "
"None at the moment, I guess I'm alarmed after all
"
It's a classroom where I do not know where they ask me.
Would you like to make a comment naming a specific person without care?
"I hope tomorrow"
"Oh"
We make such short interactions and carry out the cell phone.

We are not conspicuous, without disturbing our class. Wait until the storm passes.
It is about the classmate if such a sweet idea is forgiven.

Part 3

At lunchtime I was visiting the library.
I am not dissatisfied with spending time with the Ayanokouji group, but it is also important to spend time separately. Also, in the library, I have the same book students as me.
Today the student, Hiyori Shiina, was visiting the library. I took out the book properly and started reading the book I rented, and I was able to get your attention.
"Hello Ayanokouji-kun"
There were few people who had only rested to eat, and it seems that I immediately notice my presence.
A book of a similar kind was held in his hands.
"That's insects from the usual book"
"This place is wonderful"
Hiyori took my permission lightly and sat next to me. They read each other quietly.
No additional conversation is necessary for students who originally love the library.
The act of reading a book itself is also a kind of conversation.
Then, until the end of the lunch break, we continue to read a book without uttering a single word.
I wonder if it took about 30 minutes.
"It's better that we come back soon."
"okay".
Lift your face, look at the clock and leave the library.
"Hiyori, by the way, there's something I want to ask"

"What is it?"
I do not know what to ask, he raises his face so mysteriously.
"I want to know Ryuuen's situation"
"Ryuuen-kun's situation is ... Honestly, it's not good"
"After all, is he the first candidate to leave?"
"Does Ryuuen himself accept it too?"
"I think there is no mistake, in fact, recently, after school,
Ryuuen-kun comes well to the library, so I can count a little so he can understand well. "
When I saw it in the cafe before, I borrowed a book from the library.
I was thinking that I could be in contact with Hiyori. I came here and he was right.
"What do you think of Hiyori?"
"Although it is sad for this test, it is impossible to avoid dropouts, so we are willing to accept that someone is missing, including me, but from now on I'm going to class D because I think the existence of Ryuuen-kun is necessary for class... "
There may be something to think about in the Lyon Park, but it seems that
He admits that ability.
If you think about it, it did not seem like Ryuuen treated him in a careless way to Hiyori.
"I'm sorry to hear such a thing ... somehow the state of the class
D ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ "
Speaking of which, it was full of words.
"No, ─── I probably would not want Ryuuen to leave school"
I did not need to take me here today.
However, I wanted to know Ryuuen's situation and was turning my feet.
"Because it's better for friends to have as many as one"
"... ... That's right." Slightly strange feeling. You must have been a single enemy to
Lyon
"That ... …"
"What?"
"I think this is not something that says ..."
While it's still a bit difficult to talk, Hiyori continues.
"Please, Ayanokouji-kun, do not leave school ... ... I do not want to lose my precious friends anymore".
"I will try not to lose"
We appreciate Hiyori's concern and return to the classroom.

Part 4

The evil of the air did not change even after school.
I do not know if you know, Horikita of the neighbor will begin to return quietly as always.
It is difficult to overcome the test as it is alone. It is usual to think that you want as many friends as possible. However, Horikita does not show such enthusiasm.
Even if it is used for the scrutiny, it is Sudo who surely puts a vow of praise.
Y ...
I remember the other day of Horikita caught Ryuuen.
If you consider what you want and what is missing, you will see the strategy.
Apparently, it seems that I am trying to pass this test in a different way from the other boys.
But, that's not an easy way.
But if it can be done, it is a wish or fulfillment as a place here.
The strategy planned here and Horikita's strategy can be seen as the same first. Then they become the right person.
I pointed my gaze once to my classmates.

Imagine how the students reflected in Horikita's eyes.
"We rarely ask for advice, is it okay to try?"
As of yesterday, I decided to check if there is a change in Horikita.
"Even if you ask for advice about yourself, you can not respond obediently"
"Certainly"
It seems that Horikita also began to understand the neighborhood.
"In addition ... This exam is not an easy way for colleagues to seek cooperation."
"Many other people stick to make a flock to collect vows of praise"
"People who want to do it, do it"
Horikita sat down, assembling the luggage.
"Then, what are you going to do?"
"What I can do?" For what remains, Horikita goes home.
I only care a little and I chase Horikita.
"What?"
He was looking bad what was dissatisfied with what followed me.
"What you are going to do is a little attentive"
"I do not usually get involved with you, but why not this time?"
How is that
It's simply because Horikita is waiting for strategies to be done.
If it is done, I would like to support you together in this way.
Please do not say it directly here.
"You do not have a group, you can cooperate if you pinch".
"That kind of thing, I regret my situation for a while, can I help you and put you in your group?"
"In fact, they will not bother me as much as the number of people increases."

"I appreciate it, but I'll reject it, what I'm looking for is not you now"
It seems that the idea has already been decided.
However, the material is still scarce, and the stage in which it is driven by anxiety?
I will not be suitable for the "paper" to fill that shortage.
"You really are ... ..."
Be looking stronger than before.
"What"
"Anyway, leave me alone."
They told me clearly, I nodded and I stopped.
Even if you chase Horikita more, just you get angry your opponent.
After seeing Horikita, I once looked out the window in the hallway, outside.
"Shall I go for today?"
"... ... a little better, Ayanokouji-kun"
When they passed, Hirata came to me. If I had been chasing.
From the moment, he may have been waiting to separate himself from
Horikita
"If you do not mind, after school, you'll go out for a while, there's a story."
Unusual Hirata invitation. There is no reason to reject it.
When I accepted and nodded, Hirata exhaled as if I was relieved.
It seems that Hirata, who spends the day in the air that sticks, is at the top of my strength.
Of course, it seems to be related to this test.
"Well, then at 4:30 in the Keyaki mall ... Yes, can you join near the south exit?"
"I get it"
I will make promises that much.
It seems like it's not like talking here.

The students who point to the activities of the club and return home one after another is happening.
Today I also had the intention to meet with Keisei after school, so let me know that it will be a bit late. As Hirata seemed to talk with friends in class for a while, I decided to go to the Keyaki mall first.

Part 5

Exit the classroom, point to the entrance as it is.
On the way I met a year of class A, Sakayanagi Arisu.
There is also the appearance of Kamuro on the side.
"Ayanokouji ... ..."
The divine hall of wars hardens the body.
However, Sakayanagi has not changed as usual, a relaxed movement with a margin.
Two contrasting gestures were a bit interesting.
"It's a coincidence, Ayanokouji-kun"
"Yes, is there anything for class C?"
Sakayanagi seemed to be changing to class C.
However, I do not answer that it is direct, Sakayanagi smiles and blushes at this question. "Where are you going?"
"I plan to meet with our friends at the Keyaki Mall in
30 minutes".
"Well, you're enjoying your student life, do you have a little time if you do not mind?"
Sakayanagi takes out her cell phone and looks at the time.
To know me? No, that's hard to think.
The time is beyond 4:10.
Even if it takes several minutes to get to the Keyaki mall, there is a grace of 10 minutes or more.
"Is it okay with a story?"
"Yes ... but here we are a little flashy, do not you move a little?"
"That's right".
I do not want to be as conspicuous as I can.
I do not know if he is a classmate, but because Sakayanagi is disgusting, it is an attention that is accumulating.
Because Sakayanagi understands that, Sakayanagi has been moving towards a place that is not popular.
Take time to move to the school building according to
Sakayanagi, who walks slowly.
"Even so ... Ayanokouji-kun, Masumi-san, did not you think that the additional exam was very unreasonable? Because we dropped out of school so far, we forsake it by force." It's strange if you think with common sense, like do it at school. "
"Well, I felt that Mashima-sensei, who is always calm, is also a bit annoyed."
Not only Chabashira, but other members of the faculty seem to be unconvinced of this additional examination.
"There's a reason for that".
"What do you know?"
"This is a private matter, but my father's suspension was decided the other day."

"Suspended ... He's certainly the president here, is not he your father?"
I hear that, because the department knows it.
"I have not heard about it in detail, but there are many disadvantages for my father, etc. My father does not know anything like dirty hands, not to mention that the daughter does not know, Although I can not eliminate the possibility of ... ... Someone may be doing several ways to downgrade my father. "
It seems that he also let him into the Kamuro, it was a word for me really. If Sakayanagi's father is truly innocent, it's no wonder that man is involved.
The impression I had of Sakayanagi's father was not a misunderstanding.
"However, this is a story that has nothing to do with our students, it's just a talk."
It seems that for Sakayanagi it is insignificant that his father is being suspended.
"But how does it relate to this test?"
"Is it impossible to think that it is a test that was prepared in a hurry to leave someone?"
"Someone ... …"
Kamuro looked at me once. And then I will return my eyes to Sakayanagi immediately.
"I've been trying not to worry about you, but you, why are you curious about Ayanokouji?"
While I move, I hear Kamuro next to Sakayanagi.
"Oh, have you never cared before?"
"... you can not do that"
Although it is a divine room to deny, Sakayanagi was a profile that seemed to know everything.
But I do not go deep with Kamuro,
"Can not you agree with the reason simply because you've known him for a long time?"
Sakayanagi replied to Kamuro that she was so worried.

Since he had not revealed anything so far, it's a pretty open answer.
You can take him to see this reaction. If you do not scare yourself carefully here, or imitate Sakayanagi's conversation, it's like exposing the weak point of this topic.
Well, I do not really care much.
"Does that mean you came back to meet by chance at this school?
It seems a light probability ",
"Well, it's a small probability, it's not like that Ayanokouji-kun."
"It may be so"
I have never had an acquaintance, but Sakayanagi's expression is exactly wrong.
Sakayanagi certainly knows the old one unilaterally.
"Well, is it formidable? I'm sorry, but I can not see it like that."
When Sakayanagi stepped on, Kamuro also took a step back.
In a way they can be similar.
"I have stepped a lot for you, I think I've never before encountered this question."
It seems that things have come to think in various ways by touching Kamuro directly.
It seems that something like the curiosity that Sakayanagi can not suppress has emerged.
"Who do you think, you never knew it until now?"
"Especially, you're an indifferent person who does not interfere with that hand, so even if I do not hesitate, I was asking for a guard
Ayanokouji-kun without hesitation ... I can not help it. "
Sakayanagi seems to be surprised and looks happy somewhere.
I thought it was to ask about this situation, but there is also the possibility that these Kamuro reactions are interesting and have a mean question.
Reach the place of interest within the story.
"In this case, you will not bother to talk about it"

It is certainly quiet. Special room after school is.
"Well ... Masumi, I'm sorry, you can leave without me"
It seems that he only wanted to talk to others just because he had accompanied them.
"... .... Ah, that"
In the end, Sakayanagi tried not to speak to me deeply, but he seemed to decide to return the Kamuro first.
Did you know this would happen? Kamuro came down the stairs without any resistance.
"It was good?" "Yes, is not Ayanokouji-kun worried if you get rid of the bad things?"
"Separately"
If it shows an annoying problem here, it becomes a gap.
I do not bother giving additional information to Sakayanagi.
"On the one hand, I was recognized as your enemy, so I'll accept it."
What is the reason for my response, is not something that Sakayanagi thinks.
"What are you talking about until Kamuro returns?"
Because I spent a lot of time traveling, I can not afford to wait that long.
I urged you to cut the main theme.
"It's about my date with Ayanokouji-kun"
"Surely you and I were going to win in the next exam, which is this test."
"Yes, I had the intention to do that ... But if Ayanokouji-kun is good, I would like to see that story next time, not a conflict between other classes, but a sieve in a group. I can not attack with votes ...... Would you mind if the game moved to next time? "
In other words, this time you can not be in the game scenario, so tell me you do not count.

"Could you please accept this story?"
"You can judge that you like it"
Sakayanagi thanked me graciously who made a judge quickly.
"Thank you very much, I was wondering what I should do if they told me that the exam is an exam, to be able to concentrate on the class inside Class A ..."
"Single?"
"Because it is a ceasefire, I dare to say that I trust you in a reliable way, I will never give a negative factor to Ayanokouji-kun, that is, a critical vote in this exam".
I'm going to say that and I promise that I'm committed.
"In the unlikely event that I participated in class C and damaged the results of Ayanokouji-kun ... ... that time I can not overcome my loss, you can reject the game of the next race."
"If you receive the concentration of critical votes in this exam, there will be nothing in the next race."
I hope I leave.
"Surely it is, let me say, please, relax."
It is a comment to the extent that it is too polite, but it can be a necessary action to gain credibility on my part.
"Before the battle with me began, it was a development that my father would betray"
"Hey, please joke"
Students in class A, most of them are factions of
Sakayanagi.
Do not you imitate losing your mind? "At the time this test was announced, I've decided who will drop out of school."
"Did you decide who you want to eliminate as soon as the right decision is made?"
Although it is Sakayanagi who legally controls the class by force, it can be said that it is a means that can be taken. When are you going to announce it to the students? "
"If you do not announce a person who disappears until the last minute, you will be anxious to do it as it is, if you tell me in advance,
Will it be easier for your teammates? "
It is not something that has accumulated in students who have dropped out of school.
However, class A has no appearance of roughness.
"Does anyone understand?"
"Come now, I have no idea what you have"
I tried to spill, but I have a star.
"It's Katsuragi Kouhei-kun"
"Is it reasonable?"
"He was a former class A leader who confronted me before, because the organization does not need the two best people."
Katsuragi is a calm and cool man.
Maybe when you learned the content of the test, you should have realized that you would sacrifice yourself.
Have you accepted without resistance?
It seems that there are some students who continue to love like Yahiko, but they are undefined.
"I thought I came out as a prerequisite for early recognition."
Even among the A classes, Katsuragi falls at the top if he speaks outstanding.
I thought it was a shame to erase, but it seems unnecessary if you take it to
Sakayanagi.
"My friends often dislike you, you probably can not agree with conservative ideas, in which case those who leave will gain the morale"
It seems to be aimed at raising the morale by cutting the force.
"Have you been talking, who is the target?"
"To protect him, Ayanokouji-kun will not have to work on his back."

You can not get results according to the workforce.
"How are you going to do class C?"
"Yes ... I do not care about anything, I'll leave it at the discretion of my classmates."
"It will be ... simply if the person who does not like or plays a student with little skill is played"
Sakayanagi expanding her imagination to be fun.
"Only class D will be Ryuuen-kun, it does not matter who thinks."
There is no objection in that part only.
Especially in class A there is no merit to help Ryuuen.
I would like to leave even in the sense of breaking the contract that was signed with Katsuragi.
"What I can not see is class B, it's the nicest test of who will give up that kind of good friend, is Ichinose thinking of something funny?"
"It's bad, but it's almost time."
It's paradoxically free, but let's do it when you're alone.
"Well, for the moment, the story is over, the next exam will start next week."
Cut and touch a cane.
Sakayanagi's gaze was directed to the surveillance cameras once installed for a moment.
Fine movements of the eyes that can not be noticed if you do not look.
It is impossible to judge whether the line of sight is happy or intentional.
"Then the game will be scheduled as the special exam last year, let's do it at that moment."
I nodded a little and left the special building.

Part 6

There are not many stores available to meet after school.

In most cases, you will meet at a cafe in the mall
Keyaki, but today is different.
"Thanks for coming today."
"It's not a big problem, I also wanted to talk to Hirata."
"I'd be happy if you say it, anyway, should we walk a little?"
After joining the southern entrance, Hirata began to move to confirm the surrounding situation.
"I'm sorry Ayanokouji-kun, can I change the schedule a bit?"
"Why?"
"Do not I speak in my room from now on? I wonder if that person will calm down."
"Apart from me, everything is fine."
"Thank you"
Apparently, the current shopping center does not seem to be such a favorable place.
It seems that no one wants to hear him speak now.
While I'm on the road that leads to the bedroom, I start chatting.
"About a year ago, how have you been spending the year in
Ayanokouji-kun? "
I exhale with a white breath.
"Were you going to an uninhabited island or camping, it was a noisy year?"
"Yes, it was certainly difficult, but I had fun because I think I could build a relationship of trust with my colleagues if I think about it from the beginning."
"Yes I think so".
I will not deny that point. Some of our classmates also hate each other. However, the enemy is actually the word
"friend". While they were forced to cooperate, things gradually called bonuses began to be born.
"Really ... ... there was no problem until this test began."
Hirata's smile is overshadowed.

'Is it the history of that?'
"Yes. Sorry, I intend to know enough of that, there is no hope Ayanokouji-kun"
I will not actively engage with any test.
Horikita ignored such a personality and had been asking for strong cooperation every time the test was done.
The interesting thing, is a truth in this exam.
Horikita did not trust me, Hirata depended on me. Hirata depended on me.
More recently, Horikita probably grew.
It seems that I understand that I will not cooperate, and its frequency has begun to diminish little by little.
"In this test, I can not find a solution anyway, no matter how many times you think."
"How often ... …"
If you look closely, the bears are made under the eyes of Hirata.
I was thinking about the exam last night and I could not sleep satisfactorily.
"It's a difficulty, it's an exam that suffers as much as a guy who thinks about the class."
"All right ...?"
"No, you do not care"
If you mention carelessly here, Hirata will delve into the deepest darkness.
It's better to keep it quiet now.
"If you have any way to help the class, let me know."
Apparently, from my reaction it seems that I did not understand that the answer was rolling around.
"Save 20 million private points, is it impossible?"
"I also tried to calculate a variety of things, but it's not an amount that I achieved at all. Yesterday I spoke with some of the people

more of the club's activities more or less, but my seniors are being given a special test different from ours. "
"I can not give a point for helping"
"Yes ... ..."
However, proposals for methods that can be alleviated without issuing victims are too limited.
"Bad, I can not think of anything else, but be sure to tell Hirata whenever you think about it"
"Oh, well ... yes, thank you."
At this point it was necessary to return.
Making a smile so hard, Hirata speaks of gratitude.
This special test is extremely difficult and an extremely simple test.
If you change the point of view for a moment, nothing will be lost.
However, it is not visible to Hirata.
This is a test of "simply truncating unnecessary students".
We can draw a picture of the goal when I hear the content of the test.
Of course, I do not know "Who will quit", but I just do not have to be "myself".
But the Hirata type is different.
I can not decide indefinitely the "Who?" Part.
This is how he has entered the invisible labyrinth of the exit.
"Ayanokouji-kun, do you think someone can leave?"
"If you do not leave school, you can do it, but, of course, it's a difficult test."
"... Of course, that's all, but surely there is something wrong ..."
"Because I know Hirata, could not you sleep well at night?"
I interrupted the story. That ... ... "
At the entrance to the bedroom, we are silent once.
It seemed that several students were chatting in the lobby.
But the problem was elsewhere.
Sitting on the sofa in the lobby, a line of sight meets a man.
"This is not Ayanokouji-boy and Hirata-boy, is not it strange?"
"Hi Koenji-kun, are you going to meet someone?"
It seems he seemed to have turned my eyes as soon as I entered the bedroom.
"If I meet someone, would you be interested?"
Koenji returns the question with another question.
"You might think it's unusual"
"I hate honest men, but unfortunately they are not meeting."
I answer a lot, but I do not answer what I was doing.
The usual Koenji is not a kind of relaxation in such a place.
"I have to go?"
Hirata stretches to press the button standing in front of the elevator.
Then the arrow of Koenji's words flew from behind.
"Well, well, please stick to wisdom and persevere in this exam"
"... ... you seem to be unchanged forever, Koenji-kun"
Hirata asked if that attitude was a little worried.
The tip of the finger stopped just before touching the button.
"Because it's not a test that changes so much"
"That's how it is?"
Hirata rarely eats.

Look back and look at Koenji. Of course, I do not imitate it as a glow.
Calmly until the end.
"I told you that you are not changing the exams, but I suppose it really is necessary to change more than anyone else.
Koenji-kun is mentioned as a gang of classmates. If I had ... ... that's what I thought.
It was also considered that Hirata was also a threat.
Words that strongly embraced the desire to cooperate.
If Koenji were interested in cooperating, even a little, I would have expected it.
"Do not worry, is it your job to manage it in the middle of the class?"
It does not do anything to the last. Koenji is not destroyed by that position.
"Even if I can not do it, I may not be able to meet their expectations."
"There's no such thing"
Koenji does not expect anything in Hirata.
It is impossible for me to feel if it is true or not.
He gets up, Koenji leaned a little on Hirata's shoulder after approaching.
"Please, handle unnecessary garbage while licking scars"
The moment I heard the words left by Koenji, the elevator switch was pressed with a click.
"... Ayanokouji-kun, let's go"
"Oh"
Hirata's tone, which had been moderate so far, contained a bit of anger.
There is garbage in the classmate.
It seems that Koenji was told he could not frustrate me.
When the elevator door closed, Hirata opened her mouth again.
"Fuu ... I'm sorry ... I showed something that is not quite right"

"I do not care separately, there was some problem with Koenji"
Slightly bitter smile, Hirata lowered his head.
"You're going to hurt him in a painful place ... I myself thought it would not be realistic not to abandon the academics, so while I was at the top it was a word, but I surrendered from the beginning somewhere."
Immediately he arrives at the floor where Hirata's room is located and gets off the elevator.
"Please, come in."
"I will bother you ..."
It is the first time he enters Hirata's room. The interior decoration feels like me, basically simple, with a little fragrance.
It is a storm, but since it was Hirata, it is a well decorated room.
"Sit ... Is it okay with coffee?"
"Bad"
"Not bad, because I asked you"
I usually feel a little bit cool, because I often make my association with clients.
"It's a continuation of a while ago, but ..."
While he prepares my coffee, he greets me through my back.
"Is there really no way for the whole class to help?"
"What about you, maybe I just can not think about it"
I respond in the same way as before.
Although I know, Hirata will probably ask for help.
However, he intended to follow it, but it seems to have been counterproductive.
"If you do not approach you, I do not think there are other people who can do it."
"It's a great opportunity to buy"
Meanwhile, did my evaluation of me rise in Hirata?

"With the Karuizawa case, I think you can be the most powerful for the class"
Hirata said to see through the heart.
"It's really a break from me."
The hot water boils and Hirata brings coffee.
"It is true that you admit it humbly"
No matter what I say, I'm pressing with good will.
Even if I deny it with words, I do not accept Hirata now.
It seems better to change the subject a bit here. It seems that Hirata had also recognized him.
"A test that someone should leave, it's not something I can try to understand in this way, even if nobody is willing to let my classmates ignore it."
"I do not know what worries me, but I have no choice but to respond on weekends."
"Answer, Ayanokouji-kun ... ... Do you think someone should leave school?"
Peeping eyes catch me.
At first glance it looks like a soft pupil, but it seems to contain another part.
"I have nothing"
It can be accepted as a cowardly neutrality, but I believe in the fact.
Although there are some students who wish to stay, there is not a single student whose name should be abandoned. Discuss within classmates and students drawn as a result are removed.
That is the answer.
"No matter who is missing, we have to accept it."
"It's great, it's better for a class leader than me",
Hirata, who has taken the initiative to increase classes so far, but the words that come out are disconcerting.
I can not make any specific hand.
"How am I supposed to go this way, how can we face this test?"

It is not easy to send advice, but often Hirata helps.
I want to do something to the paper, but ...
"I do not want you to take my words, but say what you think"
"Yes"
"Saving everyone, it's a story after the exclusion once, Hirata has been bothering my head a little" who I'm cutting
"Now I can not answer you"
Still suffering, still Hirata who nod and accept at the end.
"Then, why do not you try to turn that direction once?" Think about this: "Who will you leave" and not "Who will you cut"?
"Who are you going to leave, ... ... of course, all of them ─ ─ ─"
"We will give priority to everyone, we will organize all of myself in order, from top to bottom, of course, there may be students who can not choose at almost the same speed, however, you should try to get a rank once, just like you. Either a student or a student who contributed to a class can do so. "
By making a classification that way, the lowest student is eventually born.
"That, but ..."
If it's easy
But Hirata did not do that simple action. I keep it in your heart.
I think that classifying students is crazy.
"When I classify my idea, my classmates do not necessarily coincide".
In this way I still have excuses and I flee.
What I am waiting for is the day of the special exam that welcomes me without protection.
"Okay, I think I should start by discovering the conclusions in myself"
That is the only advice I can tell Hirata now.
On that basis, what kind of judge will decide the Hirata is to decide alone. I would like to thank you for the coffee you bought.
I felt that the bitter taste was stronger than what I bought.
"Yes, yes, maybe, I'm full with the desire to flee now."
Hirata to take advice and try to understand.
It will not work soon. You may want to spit with indigestion.
However, it is trying to stimulate digestion by supporting it with a throat.
"Fu ... yes, thank you"
Hirata say thank you with words that were left out of the game.
Will this query be resolved for the time being?
"Can I ask you something a little idiotic?"
I decided to change a story about the exam and ask what I was interested in.
"If something"
"Have you confessed to someone since you broke up with Karuizawa?"
"An unexpected question, I did not think Ayanokouji-kun would ask me such a thing".
A little surprised, and Hirata looking worried.
I was interested in his candidates in Hirata because it was just my classmate. Before finishing the degree exam, I was worried about what happened, because they told me that he likes Hirata.
I wonder if the action has already taken place.
"Yes ... but someone, that part is retained, the way the girl had was more of the voice"
In other words, it is already beginning to be confessed by girls.
Is it Mii-chan, is not it? I can not hear it taking a step so far adrift.
But the men who are popular are amazing. Even if I do not do anything, I'll go out with the girls. No, only the usual action itself has influenced it.
I will not neglect that effort.
"Are you dating that girl?"

"No way, I'm not planning to date anyone now."
He definitely said it.
"Is there someone you like?"
Know the story if you do not intend to accept anything other than the favorite.
"Even socializing with someone, I think it has already happened to me, I am not qualified."
"If he's with Hirata, it's talking about a dream"
To start a romance, no qualification is required.
"I'm not such a human being"
It is the humility that human beings can do.
Something irreverent that a human being can not do.
After that, Hirata and I ended up without having to delve into the story.

Part 7

"Bad Ichinose ... Imitating how to call"
When I turned around at 11 in the morning, I invited Ichinose to my room.
It is not surprising that, in general, I was warned and rejected, but Ichinose showed no resistance.
"It's okay, but it's unusual to hear Ayanokouji-kun's voice."
"I do not want to talk to Ichinose by all means, for the moment, if you wish, sit in bed, maybe the floor will cool down."
Thanks, Answer Ichinose and sit on my bed.
"Maybe I'm a little nervous ..."
"What?"
"Oh no, it's nothing, but why did not you call me?"

How is that? I'll be in the hands of a white cup with boiling water in the teapot.
"There are many things that I do not know over the phone, so what I wanted to confirm this time is related to that area."
"I see".
"I'm going to listen without doing anything troubling, but what are you planning for this test?"
"It sounds like a continuation of the story this morning, thinking about breaking the exam without having to abandon the desertion ... What's the wonder?"
"Do you have something concrete?"
I look back and ask and listen to the situation.
Of course this is like socializing.
I know there is no other way to use 20 million points with each other.
"Well, unfortunately ... I do not have time anymore, so I'm impatient."
From words and attitudes, we can not see the essence of something to hide. Although I was impressed by the unexpected poker face of
Ichinose during the test on board, it's pretty good.
"I thought I was cooperating with the president of the student council,
Nagumo. "
"What cooperation?"
Ichinose will also return as usual, even to hasty comments if he does not stand up.
However, if he receives the next word, he will be forced to break.
Kettle is boiling, making cacao and I pass it to Ichinose.
"Thank you"
"The additional test this time is different from what we have been before, but it will not be eliminated unless we forcibly leave, but the
Only exceptional way is to save 20 million points. Ten thousand points have not been reached, so the cooperation of a third party is indispensable "

Ichinose who lowered his eyes to the cocoa breathed a small sigh.
"It's okay, Asahina-senpai also knew this case, but I did not expect to tell Ayanokouji-kun."
It seems I thought why I could not hide it, why I knew the matter.
"Have you heard of alternative conditions for distributing shorts?"
When I nodded, Ichinose smiled with a bitter smile.
"It's a stupid story, is not it?"
Pay points subject to companionship.
To be serious about that condition.
That would mean many different things.
"At first glance, Nagumo reveals that the transaction is prohibited.
Once filtered abroad, it will be marked in the story. Asahina-senpai is tentatively certain that there is a flight of elderly people. "
"Do not worry about that part"
"But, that story is irrelevant to Ayanokouji-kun, is not it ...?"
"That's right".
It is the trial of class B, it is decided by Ichinose.
"How much is the missing amount?"
"Would it be a little over 4 million?"
By joining, 4 million points will be filled and you will not have to withdraw.
"That's exceptional conditions."
"Yes ... It's impossible for me to be able to borrow the points coming out with
Nagumo-senpai, which is usually the position I would like to ask, even if I pay for the points. "
I was listening to the story with Ichinose and I could see how he was thinking. Absolutely do not drop out of class B. That is why you are deciding to prepare for the sacrifice.
"There is probably only this way for all of us class B to be saved"
"That's how it is ......"

Whatever it says here, Ichinose can not help you.
Only physical private points can help Ichinose now.
The point that reaches 4 million is not something I can prepare, even if I'm up.
"Well ... I was worried about you?"
"You may think you are a stubborn person"
"Not at all, I'm really happy."
It was Ichinose who answered like that, but the facial expression is slightly cloudy.
"But it may have been a little worrying ... ... If I had not talked to Ayanokouji-kun, you could have made a clearer decision."
Ichinose slowly brings the cold cocoa to his mouth.
"... What do you think Ayanokouji-kun?"
"Is this transaction?"
"Yes, how do you see doing what I'm trying to do?"
Ichinose caught my attention.
I'll take it straight and answer.
"There is a medium that can be used only for Ichinose not to leave the school of the class." He also settled with the president of the student council of Nagumo because of the strategy of saving private points and the entrance to the student council. to 20 million points is a correct answer. "
"Do not despise, right?"
"Do not despise, well, I can not judge for myself if it's worth paying 20 million points to save my classmates, but honestly, I can not judge it."
"... ... is that so?"
In addition, Ichinose slowly brings the cocoa to his mouth.
"Hey Ayanokouji-kun"
Ichinose kept looking at my eyes.
"What?" Ayanokouji-kun ... ... are you a wonderful person? "
Even if he is said to be an incredible person, the reaction disturbs him.
I just said what I heard from Asahina, as it was.
"What makes you think I'm an amazing person? I'm bad, but I have no conscience."
"If so, it will be more incredible, because Ayanokouji-kun ..."
Speaking to stop talking
"What happens?"
"No, it's nothing"
It seems I did not know what I wanted to say, although I did it myself.
As if the mouth moved before thinking.
"... ... what is that ... …"
As I wonder, Ichinose mutters a little.
I was glad to hear the call.
Ichinose acts to protect class B no matter what happens.
I could recognize it again.
After suffering problems, Ichinose will decide.
He chose a relationship with Nagumo.
