PROLOGO: Monologue by Sakayanagi Arisu

I can still remember the view I saw through the glass window that day as if it were yesterday.

The exterior of the facility, nestled deep in the mountains, what I saw when my father took me with it was dyed pure white. No, it wasn't just the outside.

The hallways, the small rooms we passed through were painted a single white as far as I can remember.

I put my two hands on the transparent glass doing my best to see what was beyond it. On the other hand, this window seems to be some kind of magic mirror so they can't see us.

What's the matter, Arisu? It's weird to see you so interested."

"This experiment to artificially create a genius. There's no way You won't find it interesting."

"... That's not a very childish way of talking, as usual."

My father told me that while showing a perplexed smile as I stood up in his arms.

According to my father, anyone who followed this institution's curriculum, without exception, would be educated to become exceptional. There is no way I will not find any doubts about that point.

"It's just that this experiment seems to have a lot of problematic elements".

"What do you mean?"

"He seems to be attacked from all sides as to his humanity."

"Ha, Ha, Ha... "

"That said, even I don't think I can be artificially a genius or something."

The moment people are born in this world, the moment they receive life, their potential is engraved in a stone. The fruits of chance. Then, sometimes it will manifest itself in several fields. That's the ingenuity of the human world.

They can do nothing but what's carved into their DNA. They are awakened by blood transmitted by the ancestors or by a sudden mutation. In other words, if you want to create a genius, you have to do it from the DNA part.

Those who are born as an ordinary person will never escape the limits of an ordinary person. No matter how blessed your environment is, if the student is not excellent from the beginning, he will not become a genius. That's been my belief since I was young.

That was the conclusion of seeing my classmates getting a high-quality education from childhood. That's why this experiment opposed my own way of thinking. That said.... It's not so simple that DNA alone can solve it.

"Even if there is someone who graduates as the best of the harvest, will it really be a fruit of this experiment?"

"What makes you think that?"

"Children at the top only have the top DNA, that's what I think."

"I see. The curriculum these children follow is quite intense. There's a chance that the other winners have been excellent from the beginning, as you said. You're really as wise as she is. Including your personality."

"That makes me happy. Being compared to my mother is the greatest praise for me."

I obediently and honestly received what my father told me and once again I looked at the children's affairs. Talented children, talentless children, all were equally involved in this education. And then in the system, where people who left things, would slowly disappear.

"In the end, even if there are children who stay until the end, they are blessed by the talent of their parents."

As i find it interesting, it was a pointless experiment. I couldn't help feeling that way.

p. 10

"Who knows, it may be, it may not be. I don't know either. But I can't rule out the possibility that these children are meant to lead our future."

I didn't understand what my father's acquaintance was trying to accomplish, being the child I was. My sight returned to what reflected beyond the glass.

"That child, he seems to have solved those tasks calmly and without any difficulty for a while."

As for the accomplishment of the tasks entrusted, all the children reflected in our eyes had performed them. However, they had all done so desperately and with all their concentration. That should have been obvious. Whether it's studies or sports, the level of competition here went far beyond what's standard for kids. Among them was a single existence that showed an abnormality.

A certain boy was overwhelmingly defeating his opponent successively in chess, which was what they were doing now. Among the children I could see beyond the glass, he was the only existence that took away my gaze and heart. Seeing this, my father looked a little happy, and somewhat sad as he nodded.

"Yes, he's Sensei's son. His name should be... Ayanokouji... Kiyotaka if I remember correctly."

Sensei is an acquaintance of my father, and the person who runs this facility. He was a person who never surrendered to anyone, and I remember my father always showed a modest attitude toward him.

"He's Sensei's son, so his DNA must be excellent, right?"

"Who knows. At the very least, Sensei has never graduated from a higher education or possessed an outstanding athletic ability. His wife is also an ordinary woman. His parents didn't show any talent either. But, Sensei has stronger ambitions than anyone else and a spirit of constant and indomitable struggle, that's all. That's why he's become so powerful. To the extent that he too, at one point, was able to move the country."

"In that case, won't that child be the perfect specimen for this experiment?"

My father nodded with conflicting feelings to my question.

p. 11

"Well.... I'd probably consider that kid perfect for that, I think. But.... as I see it, I can't help feeling sorry for him."

"Why is it like this?"

"From the very moment you were born, you have lived in these facilities. For him, the first thing he saw was not his mother or father, but the white roof of these buildings. If he left earlier, he could probably live with his father. Or not, the fact that he's still here makes him maybe get his father's approval. If so, it's very...

In short, he has received no love from his parents. How lonely and desolate a life like this must be. Although there was much to gain and learn from contact with another human being, leaving aside his talents. I held my beloved father tightly, which made me hug again.

"The ultimate goal of this facility is for every educated child to become a genius. But it's still in the testing phase. It will stand for another 50 or 100 years. It is not a question of making the children here exhibit talent when they themselves become adults, but for the sake of the children of the future. Both those who survive and those who arrive are nothing more than a lot of evidence."

A life of confinement within these buildings and their extracted data was the life that awaited them, my father said.

My father's face when he said those words looked as if he was suffering.

"Don't you like this place, Father?"

"Umm? .... Who knows? ... I honestly can't encourage him. Yes, the children here really become superior to everyone else, if this facility becomes something natural, then this should be just an unfortunate start, that's what I think."

"Don't worry. I'll personally crush him to see him. I will show that talent is not decided by education, but from the moment people are born."

I can't lose no matter what happens to the children raised in this institution no matter how many. I, who inherited a higher DNA, have to stop it.

p. 12

"Yes, I expect a lot from you, Arisu".

"By the way, Father. I think I want to start playing chess...'

I opened my eyes and sat half asleep.

"What a nostalgic dream..."

Perhaps it was due to the upcoming confrontation. And to think that I was remembering that day. But from the moment I met you until now, I've never forgotten it. I was convinced the day would come when I'd see you face to face again.

CHAPTER 1: Teacher Fight/Battle

February Eve. Shortly before, the class ballot exam was officially decided.

During this time, high school teachers remain busy in their work.

They prepare for promotion, retirement and graduation.

In addition, there is also the last special exam that all grades take.

The moment when these various factors are intertwined in a complex way.

Any teacher is not offered, every day they are busy with work... However, the hearts of teachers taking this year's first grade were more complex than teachers in other grades.

"These are the contents of last year's special exam and the introduction of the last system".

A man finishes the explanation for this year's last special exam for all teachers.

The explanation was the same for second and third grades, but only the first grade was different.

If there are any teachers who have questions, please.

a man who looks at an irritated atmosphere among the teachers he had heard

There was no sound for a few seconds.

"A little better, Tsukishiro acting on behalf of the president"

The teachers' room was surrounded in silence.

To defeat him, Mashima, who is in charge of the one-year-old Class A, raised his hand.

Both Chabashira and Hoshinomiya seem to be synchronized, sending their eyes to Mashima.

A man named Tsukishiro interim principal has noticed that the first-grade teacher in charge has many questions. More than that, I thought I wouldn't talk if I had no doubts.

Value as a human being.

p. 14

As an adult, as an adult, a teacher who only works to provide a salary.

"What would it be? Class 1-A teacher, Mashima-sensei"

Tsukishiro, who was anticipating the question, smiles gently.

"Special exams for second and third graders are as usual, and the standard for exams taken by first graders is well above the annual average. Voting in class ... This test has a great risk."

As a teacher in charge of the first-grade reltier, and for children with a future, Mashima will make a request to Tsukishiro without being scolded as vice president. I kept being stricter.

"I'd like to say rudely, but interim principal Tsukishiro has just been assigned to this school. I seem to have made a story-based decision so far, but I haven't received it yet. I think it would be an imitation to force a drop-out because there's still no first-grade dropout."

Ask Mashima ...... Tsukishiro is pleased to be protested.

"Is there a high risk of dropping out of school? Could students have the same risk of being dropped from school during previous special exams? It's a rule, isn't it so difficult for an ordinary high school?

"I'm noting the lack of reasonableness. Certainly, students who cannot reach a certain degree will be abandoned. There is no intention of making the mechanism easy. There are many student retreats every year. It's a fact."

Each year, this school performs several special tests within the standard range.

Among them, this year's first grader was trying to overcome a year without giving up. It's unclear whether this is simply the difference in ability with other grades, but there should be a reason to go out without leaving a school dropout. Mashima thought it was important to use and connect it in the next year or later.

However, Tsukishiro's idea is different from Mashima.

"If you have a lot of abandons, isn't it the same?"

"No, it's obviously different from our previous policy. I can only agree to create a mechanism for forced withdrawal."

p. 15

While the other teachers were silent, only Mashima remained relentless.

"And, on the last special exam at the end of school this year, I decided to introduce a sudden new system. This is something I've never done before. The reason is not explained at all."

It is something that teachers know from the beginning that genuine resistance is emptiness.

It is impossible to overturn this decision and cannot be changed.

"Oh, Mashima-sensei seems a little stiffer, isn't that how it used to be, it can't possibly been a mistake?"

In the teacher's room, Tsukishiro and Mashima's response are repeated. However, the inferiority of true love is clearer than seeing the fire. He's not a companion who can do it as a one-time teacher.

"Toddlers have a greater absorbence than adults think. In view of this point, we left the application of the second degree and the third degree, and reduced the application of the new test to the first degree. If they're graduates, they're still not in school color, and if new efforts are successful, it'll be easier for them to try it for next year's first graders."

"This year's first graders are leaving without getting rid of academics. Do you want this to happen?"

"There is no meaning in the short-term record. It's forward-looking, forward-looking."

Tsukishiro strikes back, the speech continues.

"This is a new school that has received many government expectations and experimental testing is underway. I have a short history, so I think we should try a few things."

"It's good for the future, but it also makes it possible to use the current first grader as a bank of experiments. It's impossible to accept him as a class teacher in charge."

Mashima continues to challenge Tsukishiro from the opposite direction. I'd like to try to correct the orbit of the special test.

However, it will no longer be possible to move the endpoint of the ballot implementation into class.

"... Mashima-Sensei, in that area.

p. 16

It's because they understand, Chabashira stopped at the point where they've finished talking to a certain extent.

Mashima swallowed the word that he had vomited once.

However, it is not Tsukishiro who moved to urge him again.

"I don't care. If you have something I want to say, I'd like you to say more and more. In fact, I understand well the feelings that concern teachers."

"So does that mean there's a chance of reconsidering it?"

Mashima asks if the special exam will be reviewed in Tsukishiro.

Looks like we're hanging a thread of salvation, but it's not.

Unlike Sakayanagi, Tsukishiro, as deputy director, does not try to capture the voice of the scene.

"I think it's hard. I'm in the directorposition position even though I'm a substitute. The principal's position at this school is that he has a role to play in guiding the school. The director is also a man, because he is simply a human being hired by a corporation maintained by the government."

If you say that word, genuine resistance here doesn't make sense.

The voice of the site is secondary. The important thing is just the future of advanced high school.

"As a result, it's ok for students to drop out of school under strict rules."

"The person who did not fit is excluded. The mechanism of society_____No, is the law of nature. And this side may have agreed to support the introduction of (Protection Point). There's only one."

The tense air gradually begins to relax.

The end of the morning meeting is near.

"More than anything, Sakayanagi, who is the current president, is uncomfortable because of accusations of fraud. If it's a fact, I can't inherit the education policies that person has built. I hope from the heart to clarify your accusations and you will come back."

Pan, and once applauded, Tsukishiro looked at all the teachers once.

"I don't have time for that, so let's keep it close. Wow, it was like that. We're looking for a school festival next year at this school. I'd appreciate your favor at that time."

p. 17

"Cultural festival? In our school, things related to general openness should be postponed in principle."

For the first time here, the two- or three-year-old classroom teacher raises questions.

"Such an old-fashioned part is also a problem. I think this school needs to be changed as many times as necessary to become a more recognized school in the country. However, there is no need to worry about this point, instead of being open to the general public, we will carefully select people who are familiar with this school, such as the political world, and this will not filter out any strange information . Anyway, I'd like to consider it positively."

The vice president and Tsukishiro concludes the talk and the struggle of the teachers is over.

There's nothing I can do.

Part 1

After Tsukishiro left the teachers' room. Before class begins.

"Mashima-sensei and Hoshinomiya-sensei. Would you like some time?"

Chabashira called two people. He is a rival and a friend who has been thoroughly trained in this school.

There is also a long relationship between the two people going with Chabashira, holding only the necessary files in hand, without asking a specific reason. They go to the hallway that leads to the classroom where the students are waiting.

"It's melancholy. You're going to have to announce the test that you're leaving soon."

The first to trim was Hoshinomiya.

As you breathe a deep sigh, look at the attendance book.

"Who's going to disappear ... and ..."

Without enjoying it, Hoshinomiya was also trying to deal with that fact.

"It's not decided yet who's going to disappear. There are still some ways to go."

"Why the only way to cancel the withdrawal is to give 20 million points?"

Of course, Hoshinomiya also knows that fact.

p. 18

Today, no class has much money.

"If there is salvation, in this case you will not need to pay 300 class points. Forced withdrawal is an unprecedented story in the past."

Typically, 20 million private points and 300 class points are required to cancel a student who has retired from school. It's a story that's exempt this time.

That said, neither teachers nor students can be convinced of forced withdrawal.

"Oh, I can only complain about the way Tsukishiro is acting on behalf of the president."

"Oh, I think it's reasonable for Sae-chan to think so. I'll come out of the blue and do something I like about selfishness."

Hoshinomiya, who is about to hold on to Chabashira to hug her, pays a lot of depression.

"Even if you complain, it doesn't change anything. More so, it can be dangerous."

"That's right, tell us! Mashima-kun, you weren't really stuck, because it was so cold. Well, I shouldn't say anything else."

"That's right. On the other side, he doesn't care if the teacher gets fired. I know there are many alternatives. Rather, it will be regarded as favorable."

"You can aim to hire a teacher who's good for you by jumping into a teacher like Mashima-kun who's behaving like a rebel"

The two thought Tsukishiro's speech in the faculty room was the outrage of a rebel master.

Mashima doesn't point out that the idea is wrong.

"Sae-chan also went up to class C, which is a long-awaited aspiration, so please don't let it go?"

"Tch, even though I've raised my class, I can't afford it."

"Yes, that's fantastic, maybe Shark-chan can get on class A, right?"

Looking at the big eyes coming in, Chabashira deflects his line of sight.

Although Hoshinomiya has many comments that are usually overlooked, most of its actions are set on account.

He was aware that Chabashira was associated with him.

"... No, I'm not too stupid."

p. 19

"Yes, if you say you're aiming to get to Class A... I'll turn around."

With both hands raised, it can surprise you in a deliberate way.

It was a conversation without the mutual love of women, but they could not be looked at seriously.

A carnivore facing off in the savannah. The battle is a fact.

"You guys, are you still giving that up? How many years have passed?

"Mashima-kun, because time doesn't matter"

"Yes, I have nothing to do with that."

True and false treatment of entering arbitration, two people are forced to withdraw.

Mashima boldly confronts Tsukishiro, but sometimes he cannot get up.

"... Yes. Anyway, I'm not holding my mouth, but don't you understand my personal feelings?"

"Tch. You're not going to do that. Truth? "

"Of course not. Hey, Sae-chan?

As they are explored in the belly, they do not treat anything on the surface.

"Anyway, what I meant is to refrain from sloppy actions."

Chabashira quickly rounds the story and heads to Class C.

Two people who saw it off.

"Aren't there really any personal feelings?"

Mashima listens as he looks at Chabashira's back that has apparently become moody.

"Don't go together, Mashima-kun. I have nothing left for me. But that girl hasn't changed since. I'll still be a student forever. That is why I have kept at the bottom of my heart, my first love that has been so foolish."

"... Don't have a scary face"

"Hey? You're lying, no, you're up against that?"

Hoshinomiya who pulls out the folding mirror and starts laughing.

"Yes, I'm also very pretty today. Do you believe that?"

""No"

p. 20

"Did you hide?

Mashima will give advice to Hoshinomiya, who will complete the mirror.

"Don't get carried away. This year's Class D, no Class C is different from the average year."

There is still a gap in the class points, but future special exams will also not see the end of teachers.

"I suppose so. But I'm fine, I've got Ichinose-san. Y____"

"And...? "

"If I go up, I'll crush it directly"

"Don't teachers talk to students in competition?"

"Don't do that. Just don't forgive Sae."

Hoshinomiya says he doesn't want to be told to fight among the teachers.

"It looks like it's serious."

"I can't lose alone with Sae"

It's a two-person relationship that continues from student days.

A close friend and rival.


















p. 21

CHAPTER 2: The Last Review of the First Year

March 8.

In Class C, Chabashira, who is the classroom teacher, was trying to begin the final special exam in the first year.

There are 39 chairs and tables for class C.

The things that had been common until the other day are now missing.

Haruki Yamauchi dropped out of school.

Not only class C, Class D that was Manabe and Class A that was Yahiko also dropped out of school.

There is no doubt that this event has had a big impact on the whole first grade.

The break from the idea that "there's a ransom" that would have been somewhere in the heart.

While I can't cure my surprise and heartache, I keep moving forward without stopping.

Chabashira-sensei appeared with the sound of a bell indicating the beginning of the class.

No unnecessary chats.

"____We will announce the final exam for the first year from this time".

Chabashira began his explanation of the last special test of the year.

I knew, but I can't hear a word about Yamauchi.

Ike and Sudo, who were my best friends, will do their best to accept that reality.

"The final special exam that concludes the year will show you the culminations you've learned so far. Intelligence, strength, coordination or luck. "

As usual, Ike immediately asks Chabashira questions.

p. 22

However, Ike was quietly listening to the story.

The next dropout may be mine, I think I have a sense of crisis.

"Special exams will compete based on the combined strength of each class" selected item exam". It will be carried out according to the rules to determine the type of confrontation. It is similar to the paper deck.

Test the selected item. What is the content of the special exam at the end of the year announced by Chabashira?

"First of all, we'll talk with 10 white cards and yellow cards based on the number of people in the class, to make it easier to explain."

That said, Chabashira sticks the cards with nothing written on the board and fixes them.

The size of any card is almost the same as the card. Nothing is written on the 10 white cards, while yellow cards appear to have a single student name.

A total of 48 cards are placed on the board.

A yellow card is missing for a single student. Will it have any meaning?

"First of all, I'll explain this blank card. Here you will be asked to write a total of 10" elements""that you have decided to discuss and that you like.

Immediately, Ike shows a difficult face.

However, seeing the figure trying to put an extra mouth, Chabashira seemed to laugh somewhere.

"If you have any questions, ask?"

"No, no ... I think you get angry when the professor makes extra words.

Ike looks up and is upset.

"Don't you worry without your extra joke?"

So far, the question has basically been the last question received, but in the way to accept the question along the way.

p. 23

Ike where you can aim your eyes at a point at many of your classmates.

I'll talk about something I felt in doubt as I wondered somewhere.

"Well, then ... uh, what's the event?"

"Write, shogi, play cards, baseball. Write down what you think you can earn, and you'll decide the rules and how to solve it."

"Hmm, am I free to choose?"

Even if it's said to be free, ike or other students don't seem to be coming.

"However, there are some conventions for deciding the element, even if it is freedom. Extreme events, minor events and games that many people don't know will win all that aren't the proponent. In addition, the rules of the event should be fair and easy to understand, therefore, after the presentation of the event, the school judges will say whether it is appropriate or not."

Certainly, such an enthusiastic competition, such as a sport that is too small or a game played by an individual, or a unique "rule", loses many winners.

But you decide all the rules here?

"And you need to make adjustments so there's no draw. For example, if in a play, a draw is given, if the number of bases is the same, but to avoid it, white plus half of an additional point is equal to victory. In the case of shogi, it seems that there is no draw at first sight, but it is rare to be treated as a draw ball, and in that case, it becomes a supreme lord, and the result is decided by the number of boards and pieces. You will be asked to decide in advance the rules for winning and losing, and if such things cannot be decided, they will not be adopted as a matter.

It's an event you'll never win or lose, or be too small.

Despite the countless numbers, it seems that the selected elements are somewhat limited in the domain of students.

"Then, let's play it in an easy-to-understand way. Ike. What's your favorite thing? Tell me something."

"Hmm ... what ... ...a"

p. 24

Ike didn't think of an event that's good.

"Yes, are you quite strong?"

As a result of thinking, classmates laugh when they hear such silly answers.

However, Chabashira took it seriously and wrote "Janken" on a blank card.

"Now, let's say we chose Janken1 as the event".

Ike that he didn't think was taken seriously, and classmates are taken caressing.

"What are the rules?"

"Hmmm ... well, get three wins?

Chabashira follows Ike and adds rules under the cards.

"We know a lot of things, and the rules are simple. There's no reason for the school to turn it down."

"That's been adopted."

It's an event that was born from appropriate feedback, but there's no problem for the school side.

"After that, repeat this nine times and you're done with the tenth element".

Chabashira grabs the chalk and writes it on the board.

"However, the test calendar, which is also an important point. It's divided into 3 or so stages"

Special exam

March 8, special test announcement date. Confrontational class decision on the same day.

March 15, 10th confirmed article. Announcement of the 10 types of confrontational classes and their rules.

March 22, the day of the examination of the selected item.

"Oh, but a teacher. Does it take you long to do 20 events?"

1 Janken is equivalent to stone, paper or scissors, usually played when there are clashes between 2 different reviews.

p. 25

"Each class will be selected from 10 to 5 on the test day of the selected item and sent as a "wish". In other words, it will eventually be reduced to 10, not 20."

Hearing that, Horikita opens her mouth.

"That is, of the 10 events, the 5 events are lanterns ... does it mean that the information of the lie is transmitted to the other party?

"You will also play a role this way. Events that have been reduced to 10 events will be automatically selected randomly in seven types by the school-side system.

Without denying, Chabashira agreed.

Even from the previous special exams, it's likely to be something that lasts a long time.

It is considered that the reason for being the seventh type is to be sure to win and lose.

As long as there is no draw, will victory or defeat be decided after taking 4 of the 7 guys?

"Even if victory or defeat is decided by the middle of the seventh type, it will remain until the last type. This is due to the change of the class point. The tenth event will be decided on Sunday 14, the 14th, the last day will be accepted as the school must check if the event is approved. It would be safer to let him go."

"What if I can't confirm all 10 events in 14 days?"

"In that case, we will assign the event we are preparing as an alternative. However, it is better not to think that it will be the event that suits your class. There will be no advantage, it will even be disadvantageous. "

Whatever it is or whatever, it seems better to do the job of fixing the tenth event.

"The important thing is that you can't log two events that have similarities in the same class. If you are playing a 2-point advanced football game, it is not valid if you try to register football from the rules that determine the result with PK as another event. Be careful."

"Can I cancel the event once it's decided?

"It's impossible"

p. 26

"Good ... on the day of the exam, who is the seventh student and how many times can I participate?"

"The rules concerning this event can be difficult to understand only verbally, so the school has prepared a copy of the details. You can copy it later or freely. Horikita, the answers you want are spelled correctly."

It seems that even if the school side prepares for the number of people, it may be a reverse consideration.

If there is only one copy, classmates will meet once and examine it.

In doing so, it seems that it will be easy to induce conversation in class.

"I also wrote on the board, but the 10 events decided by each class will be notified to the class you will face on the 15th. It is difficult to establish a match if you do not know which item and which rule the other part has selected.

This means you can study and practice for about a week and take action.

It seems that there will be a battle to read, which event will be chosen the next day.

"And, if the exam ends on the 22nd, it will be a public holiday on the 23rd. After that, the graduation ceremony on the 24th and the closing ceremony on the 25th will be followed by spring break.

Motivation can be very different depending on whether you end up winning or losing.

Anyway, I was able to capture the test flow of the selection event approximately.

But ---

It was evident that there was still a great explanation for Chabashira's expression.

"There is a more important part to decide for the event. And it's the part where you have to prepare a "command tower" in this special test to group the large number of people. This command tower is direct at the event. Remember, you can't participate."

"A command tower..."

p. 27

Is that why there are 38 letters?

"It's an important role that you need to respond flexibly. It can be considered as a lifeline that engages and attends all events. It's not just sport, but also problems like student substitution and resolution. However, the command tower will have room to intervene."

Isn't it just a basic confrontation between students, but a command tower intervention?

"You will also decide how you want the control tower to be " active. "that's right. If it's a janken" ... The control tower can join at any time and can only do so once "or" You can replace the students who do, "You can set the method of participation".

If it's equal participation, that's probably the case.

In the case of baseball or football, if you set up a commitment to be able to switch players, you are likely to play a role as a true coach.

Although it is the seventh type, the event of this "commitment" will be a big point.

"The control tower will receive a private point individually when it wins, but it will also be responsible for the defeat. Then, when the class is defeated, she will take responsibility and be expelled from school."

Again, will the loser be expelled from school?

"This special test requires the existence of a command tower. I can't admit the progress of the test without your absence. If you can't help in the discussion, I'll designate you appropriately."

This time, once again, a way a person is named.

If this happens, the point of protection I got on the test the other day will be an important focus.

It turned out that a lot of eyes or emotions were directed at me.

The only protection point that can disable removal.

If I do, I can't escape school, even if I lose as a command tower.

p. 28

Just ---

Is it good for me to assume the role of a command tower so that no one leaves?

Or do you ask talented students like Horikita to have a command tower and increase their chances of winning by even 1%? Any other way, a classmate will be selected.

Most students probably won't object if there are other students taking care of me.

Conversely, if no one wants to be, they'll have hope for me.

"How do you decide which class to face?

"Students who became the control tower are supposed to gather in the multipurpose room after school today. Maybe the lottery is an option to select the class. Win the lottery. You have to ask in advance which class to choose at any given time."

Designate the class you like from the winning class, and the rest will automatically face each other after that.

"It is decided that such a class D is good. Because there's a high chance of winning.

"Obviously, if you fight a class that is reluctant to be in Class D because it has a lower overall strength, you can increase the win percentage. But it's not always an advantage to fight depression."

If so, inevitably, 3 class is more likely than naming a Class D, Chabashira says. Ryuuen is now down, but Class D is the easiest to play as an opponent.

"The important thing in this test is compatibility. It's the most important thing to make use of the taste of each class"

You don't have to be desperate if your partner is in class A or B.

If you choose an event that is advantageous to your class, you have a good chance of winning here.

But, of course, it is inevitable that the opponent will be as tough as the previous class.

p. 29

When we heard Chabashira's comments, no one smiled.

Horikita also inflates her imagination in her head.

If you can fight in the current C-class and win in class A or B.

"Oh, it was a statement that wasn't very comforting, so let's be honest. If you lose and class D wins ... you'll fall back to the bottom.

Chabashira who takes the chalk rewrites the points of the current class.

Class Points from March 1

Class A ? 1001 points.

Class B ? 640 points

Class C 377 points

Class D 318 points

Class C and Class D class points are in competition. He's been in Class C for a year, but if he loses in the end, he'll go back to Class D.

In short, it is a place where we want to continue to win by all means for students.

"And then, with regard to the change in class points ... 30 points increase or decrease per class. 210 points for 7 consecutive wins, 90 points for 5 wins and 2 losses will be transferred from the opponent's class. "The school will give you 100 points as a reward."

Can you get up to 310 points?

It's also great to earn the opponent's class points by winning or losing the event. Higher class points, which could not be reduced even if you wanted to reduce them, can fall into a stretch. Depending on the combination and the result, it is possible to climb to class B or fall to class D.

"If the opponent's class points are insufficient, the school side will temporarily compensate for the deficit. That is, class points that have become negative will have 0 on the surface. It will remain as points, but after that it will be returned to the school."

In a shape that cannot be seen, it means that the class point will be 0 or less.

p. 30

However, given that all classes have more than 210 points this time, that concern seems unlikely.

Part 1

After the propitious sample was gone, little time to teaching.

The student rules of events that have been placed in the classroom took in the hand the document has been written.

"Something nice."

Horikita interrupts there and shoots me all first with her cell phone.

As you can see quietly in your seats, we would have acted to take the initiative.

He was still taking his seat, he was watching the situation.

"I'll show you. You may not be interested."

"Thank you for your consideration"

Soon, a chat will send you two photos.

Test the selected event, rules to decide the event.

too minor event, very complicated case, and the limitations of such rules

Very fine genera can be disapproved.

If you like to write problems in the case, the justice and school creation side is supposed to be a problem.

In the event, any act that is diverted or modified by the basic rules is prohibited.

- with respect to the facilities that can be used

On the day of the special exam, the command tower will hold events in the multipurpose room. In addition, gym, floor, school facilities such as music room and science room will basically be available, there are also some exceptions.

- Limit of events, in terms of deadlines

p. 31

If it is determined that the same content cannot be adopted up to one of each class. There are also cases where the time it takes to digest the event is too long, and there are cases where adoption is postponed for events without a time limit.

- with regard to the number of people's participation

The number of people required for the event must be different for all 10 applications, except for replacement staff.

The minimum number is 1 and the maximum number is 20 (not to exceed 20, including shifts).

The number of people participating in a class can register only two in the maximum of the event over 10 people, including substitution.

- with regard to the conditions of participation

Each student can participate in an event and cannot participate in more than one event. However, if all classmates participate in the event, they will be able to participate in more than one.

- On the role of the control tower.

The command tower is entitled to participate in all seven categories. The class that decides the event determines how to participate. It is not until the school approves the recruitment of participation.

It was divided into approximately five categories.

The number of participants is 1 to 20 per event. The events required for 20 people will be quite limited, but can still be incorporated according to form. If it's using nearly 40 people in two events, some students will participate in the second and, in some cases, the third. Even if it is necessary to change the number of people required for each event, it will become increasingly difficult.

"It's about preparing a very special exam, even in school"

"Yes, but as an annual compilation, it may be the event that reaches the goal".

It is a mechanism that cannot be gained unless many students participate and join forces.

p. 32

It's similar at the athletic festival, but this time it's not the case that only fitness is superior. Depending on the way you think, there is also the possibility that the form of specialized struggle only for academic skill, dexterity, mental appearance will shine.

Not only their strengths and weaknesses, but also what other classes are not good will be the key. Considering this selection of events, there are also events that can be rewarded during the special exam prepared by the school. If you do not carefully select a large number of audiences, you will not be able to exercise your full power.

In addition, in our class we have some students who can participate in the event itself. Such adjustments are also forced if we can't move on to the second round without everyone participating.

Horikita looks a little upset even after he understands the explanation.

"It looks like there will be complaints about this special exam."

"Yes, many of whom are dissatisfied, especially which class event is chosen the most the day is the key to winning or losing. It's a considerable disadvantage if they only bow to the opponent-prepared event."

The events we prepare are only those that we choose with absolute confidence.

Naturally, I would like to play in their own disciplines rather than the disciplines of the other class.

"The School side is transmitted to each class for the 10 events. Would it be better to focus on the seventh day of the event?"

Certainly, Horikita's case is correct from the point of view of impartiality.

"The lower class is likely to have a lower chance of winning. If luck is good, the lower class can also beat the upper class."

It's normal to think that the upper class is better in many ways.

"That's certainly ... I can do that kind of perspective ... After all, I don't like the test"

Still.

p. 33

The moment students are learning about it as they speak.

Hirata waited a while to see his face without making a fine movement.

"I was at the center of the class the other day"

"I wonder why"

"Sorry"

It's Hirata's problem, but it's not clear who and how much he understands.

"Oh, I'd like to confirm something before I discuss it."

Sudo speaks while Hirata is motionless and conversations are about to begin in class.

And once I looked lightly, I looked at the whole class.

"Many people are convinced by the outcome of the last weekend.

" ... Well, I'm not convinced, I don't understand a little well. Why did people who care about why the first place in the prize vote was Ayanokouji? How did you get the 42 votes? "

A lot of the line of sight is all going to me. It was no exception to the Ayanokouji group.

"It was another kind ... you have a lot of vows of praise, don't you?"

A weekend I didn't have time to explain.

That this question is correct is already predictable.

However, here I can't afford to talk non-stop.

I'm below the caste in this class and I'm not in a position to speak majestically.

"I'll explain for me."

Horikita takes the lead.

"Wait, we want Ayanokouji to explain it. The friend ...... is he gone?"

"I wonder if that's impossible."

Standing up, Horikita started talking to me.

"Why not ... why?"

p. 34

"Maybe Ayanokouji-kun himself should have an event that he didn't understand well."

"......don't you know Ayanokouji?"

"Yes it is briefly explained, it was the strategy I was working on with Sakayanagi. I tried to figure out why she did something like that for herself.

Horikita responds in an easy-to-understand way, while speaking in order.

"First, he pointed to Yamauchi-kun and told him to make sure he would give him a vow of praise. In fact, there's no doubt he said it in the end. You should have decided to give a vote of praise."

oh, that's right. But it has to do with Ayanokouji."

"Well, what do you think? Sudo-kun"

"That's -------- for example, Ayanokouji may be a good boy. So they decided to give him a compliment...

"Did you see where he hit? I feel like I'm a fast-standing student"

"That's it ... Well, I'm like that."

"I didn't have a good score on the written exams, and besides the quick foot, there was no scene I could see in sports. Rather, there is even the possibility of engine noise if you notice places that are not accompanied by the speed of your feet. There are no more images that are good to talk about"

As I fully understand about myself, there is no material I can deny.

"That's impossible"

After all, Horikita says without hesitation.

"It's just that you were chosen by chance. It's a little confusing."

"If you think Ayanokouji-kun is an ugly person, do you imitate trying to give that person a point of protection? There's nothing stupider than voting for someone you think is hard. If there is an exception to vote, it can be as much as Ichinose, who could have predicted that he would win the vote of praise from the beginning."

p. 35

In fact, a total of 98 votes were praised by Ichinose. It is the result of the intention to repeat once again to give an unexpected student a vote of praise.

"I will certainly never give a protection point to a hard opponent."

"Don't do it"

According to Horikita's explanation, Kei, Sakura or many men are convinced.

"I don't know why Yamauchi-kun was attacked by Sakayanagi, but I don't know why, assuming he wanted Yamauchi-kun to drop out of school, the whole series would be understandable. As we thought, in our class, Yamauchi-kun and Ayanokouji-kun had individual attacks. Therefore, by concentrating a large number of vows of praise on Ayanokouji-kun, it is possible to limit the school only to Yamauchi-kun."

"In other words ... that Haruki dropped out of school is that it was Sakayanagi's strategy."

"Yes. And Ayanokouji-kun was chosen. It was a mere accident that was used. A person who does not notice and does not have a negative effect on Class A. It could be the result of doing so."

This explanation is full of basic benefits.

According to Horikita's explanation, there's no way to cut me in a strange way.

"The reason I'm writing down Yamauchi-kun, the reason you protected Ayanokouji-kun, I can think of it."

Sudo and Ike have no choice but to convince theself.

Still, Sudo probably couldn't help but bite.

"I don't like it defending him?"

Horikita sees Sudo and listens to him anyway.

Without responding directly, Sudo turned off his eyes.

"We defended ourselves because Yamauchi-kun's main reason for leaving school was that I realized it was not him, but me."

p. 36

Horikita exposed Yamauchi's tactics in class and pressed him.

"If you have someone to blame, it's funny that you don't get to me."

"That's what..."

Sudo can't blame Horikita.

I really know. Unnecessary students cannot be prevented from being cut.

However, no matter how much gain it is, it's not a story everyone can understand.

Because, in fact, I've acquired the protection point.

Only one is on the sidelines of this examination from the security zone.

"This special test ... can I run to the command tower?"

Seeing the weather, I cut it like this.

There is no contact from Sakayanagi, but in this case he should be 100% commander.

So, if this isn't a command tower, it won't stay a coincidence.

"It is true that, in the last voting in class, I gave the class a sense of distrust. So, by becoming a pillar of this examination, I want to dispel suspicion."

"Ayanokouji ......"

Sudo looks at me in a state of surprise a little bit.

"That's fine. No one will leave school, and Ayanokouji will no longer be a suspect!"

If you don't want to get rid of the scholars, Ike expresses my favor to the command tower.

"Yes, wait a minute. No, I'm glad Aya.. Ayanokouji-kun takes over, I'm a little against Ayanokouji-kun becoming a command tower."

It was an unexpected student, Shinohara, who spoke about this story.

"If you ask Ayanokouji-kun for sure, no one will abandon it because you have a protection point even if you lose, but don't you have

p. 37

want to throw the game away from the beginning? As Horikita says, Ayanokouji-kun is normal."

It means I can't see the vision to win with the scheme That Gives all the instructions.

"When it comes to Class A or Class B confrontation, will Sakayanagi and Ichinose not come out? The command tower seems important, and Ayanokouji-kun cannot win. If we lose, maybe we'll go back to Class D?

Certain students certainly agree with Shinohara's opinion.

"Oh, I think it would be better to recruit candidates for the command tower."

However, the position at risk of dropping out of school. There are few students who raise their hands casually.

In normal times, Hirata may have trusted him, but this time it doesn't work either.

Even now, I won't join the discussion, only one is tracking.

Under this circumstance, if there is a student who can only apply for the control tower without fear of dropping out of school ...

Everyone's looking at Horikita at the same time.

However, in the case like this, perhaps ---.

"I'm sorry, but I also avoided running the risk of dropping out of school. If Ayanokouji-kun is a candidate, I'd like to say something about it. As Shinohara-san says, when it comes to fighting Class A and Class B, there is absolutely no guarantee that you can win at the current stage."

"But Horikita-san had been playing with Ayanokouji-kun until a while ago, but do you want it to be a command tower? "

Kei who was listening to the story inserts such a push.

"As long as it is irrelevant regarding Yamauchi-kun's withdrawal, he may be the commander in exchange for his cooperation. I think so."

In a way, Horikita has managed to shut me down the escape route in good condition.

p. 38

As I thought, Horikita seems to have a target of launching a control tower at me.

She's seen my ability higher than other students.

The decision to leave the command tower here is considered to be more rigid than setting up a half-student. Even if it loses, it will somehow become the worst point of protection.

"Aren't there any other candidates for the command tower?"

If objections are allowed, only candidates for the command tower.

However, no other student can risk dropping out of school.

"Even if you say the command tower, you can make a careful meeting in advance. If there is any action according to the instructions and patterns of the day, no one should have much difference with the command tower."

Students who don't think about it deeply or not say a convincing voice.

"Anyway, it's a lesson right away. The school doesn't give me time, it would be better to have some time to get together."

As Hirata does not advance, Horikita is likely to take over the class.






p. 39

CHAPTER 3: The Opponent

During that day's lunch break, almost all class C students were required to be in the classroom.

Students who do not bring the lunch box will go shopping, but will regroup soon.

I also leave the classroom once as one of the shopping groups.

And we moved to a place where there are no signs of people around, and we contacted two places.

A place I sent a mobile email to in advance, so I contacted immediately.

Somewhere else.

The work is done and I return to the classroom when I have finished shopping.

Two people didn't come back.

One is a man who can't tie anyone up, Koenji Rokusuke.

And one more, Yousuke Hirata.

37 people with the exception of the two people have become a way of gathering.

"Hey Hirata-kun you're not going to participate".

"I like that"

I can hear the voice of concern, but time flows at every moment.

The number of discussions to decide the event must be one or more.

"What do you think! It's not going to be serious, after all!"

I understand Sudo's desperate to be angry.

Or, there should have been students who expected Koenji to be serious on the surface.

But the reality is not so sweet.

No, can we say that humans can't change so easily?

p. 40

Koenji will continue to flee for the minute the name's mouth is found.

However, I don't think the hand will pass forever.

In addition, there will be exams such as class voting.

When that happens, it is Koenji himself that must be paid.

"Let's start ignoring, damn it""

"Loss only frustrates you. Well, I copied the manual on the subject the professor gave me and distributed it to everyone. I will read it carefully during the meal and plan to hold specific conversations after school."

Horikita has no choice but to take the initiative now because there is no man to divide.

"Because I don't understand something, I can eat it while I ask you to ask me anytime."

Horikita, who has already read the manual, seems to have no questions.

Part 1

The class ends without saying, after school that same day.

If Chabashira turns into a command tower, tell them to be in the hallway and get out immediately.

Hirata was the first to leave the seat after that.

"Ask ... something about the events ---"

One of the girls, Nishimura, suddenly roars and tries to scream.

Such voices do not reach Hirata's ear and leave the classroom in silence.

"Hirata-kun ..."

Nishimura and other students are shown Hirata's strongly rejected aura.

The only exception is Koenji. I was looking at my cell phone with a great face to say I wasn't aware of the series of uprisings.

""I ... I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back soon."

p. 41

Having said that, Mei-Yu Wang, who stands up, is a student with the nickname Mii-chan of all.

Although he said it was a toilet, he probably went after Hirata.

"Because it's useless, I think I can only do it."

Horikita prepares to head to the teaching platform.

"I'm sorry, but I left it behind. I have a problem with the command tower."

"Yes, it was the decision of the confrontational class in the multipurpose room. If you have the option, choose the Class D"

"I know, but don't expect it."

I took a seat and got out of Class C.

I, who was going to take on the role of the command tower, the corridor.

"This time you're lonely Ayanokouji. Who's the commander?"

With a sigh of drowning, Chabashira sees the direction in which the two people would have disappeared.

"I am, the commander"

"...... how?"

Join Chabashira and head to the special building.

"I'm going to the special building to decide the game for the class."

"Because there is an explanation of the system of the day and how to use it"

In the special building there are few signs of people and steps clinging to your ears.

"It's a big problem to get a protection point. If it's a command tower."

"It's not something I did. I was a candidate for myself."

The walk with Chabashira stops a step away.

"... you?

"What's the matter?"

"Don't you hate to stand out?"

p. 42

Chabashira's question is flying.

"The only difference is whether you're passive or not."

"I see. Either way, it didn't mean it was an environment that would be rejected."

Students who have a protection point will inevitably be the commander.

Otherwise, only one person will be in the safe zone.

The difference between pushing or jumping off a cliff.

"But no matter how you become a commander, you'll have a great responsibility. If you go out, you'll lose Class C

As there are no people around, Chabashira makes a bullish comment.

"Is that your threat?"

When I turned my eyes, Chabashira smiled.

"What do you think? But I can't wait to do that. Finally, you can see your skill."

Chabashira pointing to Class A seems to have high expectations for that part.

"There is no guarantee of winning"

"I'm sorry. I can't imagine how you're going to lose."

After that, there wasn't a special conversation between me and Chabashira.

Part 2

Multipurpose room in the special wing. That seems to be the main classroom of this special exam.

"It looks like three other people have already arrived apart from you."

The classroom door can be opened. What struck me was the teacher in charge of each class and the students. Class A is Sakayanagi, class B is Ichinose, class D is Kaneda.

p. 43

As everyone is expected, they are students with all points of protection.

And two large computers lined up in front of each other and a common big monitor.

"I'd like to decide which class you'll face when the command towers of each class have met. I'll draw this lot one by one. The student will be given the option with the red paper."

Lottery box.

Sakayanagi is offered first to take out, but she rejects him.

"I say leftovers have fortune, and I'm fine in the end. Please proceed ichinose-san."

"Oh, don't hesitate---"

Ichinose Lottery. Draw B, C, D and so on. It wasn't bent, it was a specification I could take out immediately. The red mark is for Kaneda's D-class.

In other words, the right to choose an opponent is class D.

"It looks like you don't have to check the last one, Mashima-sensei"

Mashima lifts the last remaining batch. Of course there are no red circles.

"Oh, it looks like there was no luck with the leftovers"

"What about that? I'm not always lucky enough to draw."

"After all, where can I find myself in Class A?"

"There is no such thing. I'd like to avoid your class if Ichinose-san is possible."

Sakayanagi said in a way that he did not know if it was a social order or a real sound.

"Can you teach me the class to be named?"

At Professor Mashima's request, Kaneda sings quietly.

Discussions took place in Class D between morning and after school.

Which class has the highest match rate with the match?

"So don't hesitate. Class D---- would like to face the B-class"

p. 44

A surprising declaration of war, as it is said in Kaneda's mouth.

"Are you good at class B?"

"Yes"

After receiving the confirmation of memorization, Mashima will make the confrontational class.

When you decide class D versus Class B, of course, you also decide on the confrontation between Class A and Class C.

"I thought you were aiming for a C-class, but it's a class B. " "Why?"

Sakayanagi asks Kaneda for a reason.

"If you want to go from here, you have to take one of the points in the upper class, but I want to avoid fighting Class A now," he said.

Class A is aimed at Class B in order to be tough on the point.

"Are you sure? I'll be able to avoid strong Class B enemies and help them, and I wish you good luck in Class D."

Sakayanagi gave a speech to thank Kaneda. However, there is a bit of pain to get here. Of course, it was a coincidence that Kaneda took over the nomination, but it was going to be this no matter who withdrew it.

I was in touch with Ichinose and Ishizaki before school.

And I was telling hope that I want to give up confrontation with Class A.

Ichinose was supposed to be purely a Class A opponent, but he agreed to repay it by returning a loan to me. Ishizaki and others apparently had a policy to nominate Class B from the start, so it was not possible to surrender in the first place.

All for confrontation with Sakayanagi Class A.

The only annoyance was when I had the choice.

Horikita told me to choose Class D, but at that time an excuse was needed.

p. 45

I didn't worry so much about the chance to win a quarter chance. In other words, the exchange here is a career-ready. Sakayanagi will probably be aware of what I'm doing to some extent.

Thus, the opponent of each class is decided.

"Now I'll explain the system for the day of the special exam. In this multi-purpose room, you will use two similar PCs. On this PC, all command towers will be assigned in real time to each event. So, let's choose"

The computer screen on the left is projected large onto a large monitor.

Chabashira operates the personal computer, and Master Mashima continues with the explanation.

"This is a list of students in Class A. Move the mouse, drag the image of the selected student's face and drop it into the event frame. If you make a mistake or change in the middle, use the mouse. You can reselect it by placing it outside the frame, or you can touch the screen with your finger".

"Something like a video game"

"It's really -- "

A fun little conversation between Ichinose-san and Hoshinomiya-sensei.

"There is a time limit to select students for each class. This will be the number that is currently being posted. The more people you need for the event, the more time you have to choose. Think about 30 seconds per person. Understood"

In other words, 300 seconds for 10 people.

"If you cannot choose on time, be careful because only the number of missing students will be selected at random. Conversely, if it is excessive, it will be played at random."

In other words, time is not allowed.

"When the game starts, the situation is displayed in real time on a large monitor".

p. 46

Shogi's video, which flows on a TV, begins to flow on the monitor. It's a sample image.

"Commander's Participation, but once the game starts, a card is displayed so you can always see it on your monitor".

It changes once and becomes the screen of a personal computer.

It shows that "I can wait, I can aim at the command tower again".

This will be the "participation of the command tower", which was explained in advance.

"When you can view the content, you can activate the commitment with one click. Remember"

In addition, the monitor changes and returns to the game.

"The command tower instruction method is not a call type, but the machine adopts a mechanism that automatically reads the chat text. If you press the text and press Enter, it will be sent to the participant's revenue."

After that, the machine will automatically read it and say it. The reason for not using the call format is to prevent fraud. In this example, while they are involved in "One-hand command tower can be replaced", it is also possible to communicate two hands and three hands if conversations are combined well.

"If the commander takes action outside combat, it can be declared a fault at that time."

After all that, is that it? You should think that prayers will be reviewed by each third.

"There can only be one income per incident. Even in a team game, only one person can receive instructions. The command tower also designates who will be assigned the income."

There seems to be more to do than I imagined.

It will be decided in advance, but contingencies must always be assumed.

"The control tower can be inserted at any time according to each rule"

p. 47

You can view and turn on your own PC at any time, and you can zoom in or out.

It's not uncommon to watch students in the program and prepare for the next program.

"The above is the role of the control tower and how to operate it. Do you have any questions?"

Mashima-Sensei sends a glance to everyone, but there seems to be no doubt that no one knows.

"Now, this is the end of the day. If you want to reconfirm the method of operation, you will be allowed to attend a multipurpose room in the presence of a teacher up to one week before the exam.

In this way, the explanation to the commanders is over, they can now be withdrawn.

Part 3

After I got home, I talked to Horikita about the confrontational class and immediately thought about the role of command tower. This way, this is the first time I've faced a school exam.

To be honest, I think I'll hardly lose if this is a personal game.

However, this exam is a way to fight the entire class.

You can only fight within the class's power range.

Even in extraordinary strategist, such as Sun Tzu, there is no one-in-a-thousand chance on an adult opponent against a childish opponent.

The key is "participation", which can only be used by the command tower, but first it takes an important premise to fight.

It's to capture the current potential of Class C.

Who hates who? What are you not good at?

Without understanding the combination, you can't open the way to victory.

p. 48

And as for their ability to gather information and leadership, I'm small enough to count from the bottom of the class. It's in the state that I don't know Shinohara and Onodera's favorite food.

So what should we do first?

We're determined. Listen to the person who knows the class well.

Simple but impossible to avoid.

The three who can do this will be "Kei", "Hirata" and "Kushida".

Not just from someone, I want to hear it from everybody.

However, only Kei will definitely cooperate with me now.

Hirata is in a state where it cannot be repeated. In The case of Kushida, the damage to class voting is profound. No expression is expressed on the surface, but for Horikita he would be very angry. It is not known to what extent there is skepticism, it is better to see that surveillance is stronger than before.

It was about 6 pm when it began to deepen at dusk.

A visitor rings the bell.

Feel free to open the key and invite it to the room.

"...... Yaho"

Visitor... Kei Karuizawa who was still in uniform.

"Are you still in school?"

"Unlike you, I have many friends. Today I'm the lead role."

I do an unusual writing, and I turn my line of sight.

"Kei is the lead role? Why?"

When I showed something I couldn't understand, I look a little angry.

"... Anything. It's weird that he calls me at a time like this. And don't worry if I'm not worried. If anyone sees me, I wonder if it's going to be a problem."

I look at my room like I'm not comfortable.

p. 49

"It's good. The need to go around all sorts of things has diminished considerably."

"It's Hashimoto-kun class A, no. Can even higher students see us?

"That's right."

"The relationship between Kiyotaka and me is slowly opening up ... no problems?"

"No problem at all"

It is a sigh of relief if the immediate response led to peace of mind.

"If so, that's fine."

There is certainly a movement that can be made by the fact that the connection between Kei and me is not known.

But the situation gradually began to change.

And it's easier to get them up and down instead of spying.

"But ... temporarily, classmates, boys and girls? If they see you when you come here, you'll face the strange rumors that you'll be alone."

Was he a guy who cares about that?

"This time I play the role of a command tower. There is no such thing as a strong lack of naturalness to call Kei, who is the central character of the Class C."

To reassure her, I'll also add the rule of the day.

"Hmm. Well, that's right."

As for that point, there seems to be a part that is still trapped in grace.

"Well, why did you take on the role of the command tower? The fact that you have a protection point is not the kind you're willing to endure."

I know I'm familiar to a certain extent.

"I have a sincere relationship, because I have seen the personal testimony of my classmate. And I'm in a state of being a skeptic who just left Yamauchi. It was better to keep that in mind."

p. 50

"That's it?"

"yes".

If it was me, I wouldn't be able to tell the commander what I said. "

In Kei's case, I've built a standing position. If it's mine, it's my point of protection, no one will ever give up. It's really amazing.

"Other than that, tell me the internal details of the class."

"I don't know. Where should I talk? I don't know everything, especially, the situation of the boys is quite detailed."

"It's not a problem. If possible, I'd like to know more about Kushida and Hirata later."

It's a last-see.

The current situation is really unknown.

"Oh, if you can hear their story, you'll understand everything about the class..."

The difficulty seems to be fixed on the arm, while Kei speaks.

"Apart from Kushida-san, how is Yousuke-kun? Looks like it's really sunk.

"Do you care too?"

"Oh, whatever class C, Yousuke-kun's current situation is not welcome."

Class C where Hirata is absent. There's certainly a hundred damage and no profit. There is no sense of stability in the class because there is no one who plays the role of a relaxation agent.

"It's you anyway"

"Anyway, it's hard to talk to me, so let's put it in the form of questions."

If that's the case, let's look at the circumstances of the girl here, one by one.

I'm going to take into account the profiles of all girls in class C in order to list students.

p. 51

Part 4

"I feel like -- "

It took less than 10 minutes, the information you will probably need for Kei has been heard.

"Hey. Is it good not to take notes or something? Why don't we talk one more time?

"No problem"

"Have you won everything?"

"It's a Way"

Oh, is that right, I was praised for my attitude of not being noticed.

"Even if the opponent is class A, isn't it too tight this time?"

"It's not me who fights, but you're classmates. They can't just go around the station because the commander can intervene. Rather, is that all right?"

"Oh, I' ...

Nothing seems to come out when I try to say something on my own.

"Are you trying not to turn me?"

"It's not a single-day issue. Depending on the opponent's strategy, there may be a couple of occasions."

"No, I can't. I'm not good at studying, or in sports."

I shake my head when it happens, and I ask I don't want to go out.

"Kiyotaka can beat Sakayanagi-san"

Many can lift their thumbs. I just want to reduce my shift so I don't take responsibility.

However, Kei, you have not been able to measure my existence.

"It's a part of the game that nobody wants."

"Good"

It's easy to say it's easy to lose.

p. 52

"So, is it just the story? Did you have to know me and talk to me directly?"

If it's just that, it's good to call the phone, and that makes the mouth sharp.

"There will also be those who speak face-to-face you can see"

Kei's expression remained rigid, not as expected.

"Hmm ... Anyway, is the story over? Well, I ...will I come back?

I thought I couldn't see any changes in the situation anymore.

At the end of the slight story, Kei cut.

"I'll contact you again if I have to"

"... yes yes yes"

Something he didn't expect, like giving up his facial expression.

However, I did not say of myself whether I intended to go from one end to the other.

It was easy for me to act even if the person who said it was here ...

"Wait a minute. I still have some talk."

Things used to come out so they can't be found when they walk into the room.

I got up to take it.

"What.... If you have anything to talk about, do it early.

"Today, it's your birthday"

"Hey --- Well, did you understand ...? "

Take the prepared items out of the drawer. I asked the school store to order it. I also got wrapping for birthdays.

"It's a little tedious"

"Hey, don't get weird, If you have a gift, give it to him as soon as possible. There are so many good friends who come from other friends, so the obstacles are increasing

Having said that, I approached him as i turned my face.

p. 53

Seeing such a figure, I immediately give it to you.

"Do you want it?"

"Well?"

"If it's different, is there no need to force delivery? "

"Hmm!? If you decide to give it once, pass it to the end!"

They say I don't quite understand.

"I'm also giving you back on White Day"

"I'm out ... because it takes time to put it together once?"

With a sigh of drowning, Kei receives a gift from me.

A small square, light box, Kei had a slightly suspicious face.

"Does it have any content?"

"There is no value to pass an empty box".

If such a thing is done, it's because it's visible that Kei is angry.

"Oh, I'm going to check it out here"

Kei tries to check the contents of the box as if it were an interrogation of a police officer. Carefully remove the wrapped paper and remove the case cover.

It is a piece of metal that shines in gold that sinks from there.

"Nm ... what is this?! "

That's unbelievable, but it's clear what everyone looks like.

"It's a necklace"

"Oh, I know if you look at it! It's a pretty heavy gift!"

"Heavy?"

"P-but you don't give a necklace to a friend, you know?"

Even if you say ......

I can't understand what you're saying and I can't help but bow my head.

p. 54

However, there seems to be something that still means, far from receiving an answer.

"And, and you know? I don't look like I'm looking good! This is heart-shaped, you know!"

The nucleus attached to the necklace was shaped like a heart.

Apparently, the birthday present from me wasn't a very good thing.

"Heart-shaped?"

It emphasizes once again that the part did not like much.

"Fu, fu"

I really got a protest while blushing a little bit.

No matter who the target is, the present is a gift to be appreciated.

"Isn't it expensive?"

"It's not cheap. 20, 000 or so"



















p. 56

"Hmm ... why did you bother to buy such an expensive necklace ...? "

"Why not ..."

Kei sees me while he puts on his red face.

It seems better to respond honestly here.

"Honestly, I've never given a birthday present to a girl. So I decided to gather information at the moment and searched the Internet. Even the necklace from the store was being removed, because it was written by the high school girls."

Whether you're a lover or not, I remember it was said to be the best return.

I decided I needed a certain amount of money if I combined birthday and White Day.

"Wow ... ah"

Somehow, you can see it with an eye that attracts a gift.

Maybe I could have made some mistakes.

"Even if you're smart, that's a little stupid. It's kind of naive. First of all, high school girls who like this kind of thing, want to choose on their own. There are things and hobbies that suit you. For example, a ring, you need to confirm the size of the finger, that would be salvation ... speaking clearly, the rating is from 10 to 100"

Despite preparing a high present, it seems to be a disastrous result.

I've been told what a high school girl is, but there are enough materials to reflect on.

It's something I eligi think stuns are good, but it's still doubtful if you say you really thought about the feelings on the other side.

"If I choose a candy correctly?"

"Have you uploaded 15 points?"

That the folding of the confectionery was higher than the necklace that was close to 20,000 yen.

"No refund after opening, but if you don't need it, leave it at home. Prepare it later if it's good for confectionery folding."

As I regret my lack of study, he suggested it.

p. 57

It would be nice if 15 points were better than 10 points.

I thought that ...

"......"

Kei looks at the necklace and then looks at me.

And he put the necklace on his neck that I thought was going to work.

Just because I borrow a little mirror, check his neck with the bedroom mirror.

"Hmm. As I thought, the shape of the heart is a little childish. But my materials are so good that everything looks great."

I don't have to think about what the first graders in high school are saying, but Kei is serious.

For a while I checked how I could see the necklace from my own angle, and I was satisfied with it.

I thought I could just try again, carefully replace the necklace and put the box in your bag.

"Oh, does it seem to be your first gift for a girl?"

"... then that's fine.

It wasn't something I could give to someone else when they turned me around.











p. 58

CHAPTER 4: What's Needed in the Class

The next day, it was decided which class to face.

The talks will take place after school, just as yesterday, The lunch break on this day was not particularly limited.

The Ayanokouji group regularly met for lunch.

Start a move to join the end of the class immediately.

"How much did you talk yesterday?"

I decided to talk to my friends about yesterday.

The decision of the showdown class for the meeting of the command towers was about an hour, including the explanation, but it was already after the students returned to the return class.

"Didn't you get a message from Horikita-san? It may not be impossible"

Bad word for Airi. I'll talk a little later.

"Isn't there a manual for the event? After all, everyone is aware of the rules, so we struggle with that...

"I didn't even talk. I'm wasting my time completely."

As if he were drowning, there was a sigh of revelation.

It seems that understanding did not penetrate just out of compensation during the lunch break. Have discussions been completed only by understanding the rules? It is said to look like a C-class.

"And the problem is not just in the class"

"What does that mean? Yukimo"

"The place where a large number of students can meet at once is limited within the school grounds, right?"

"Oh, it's impossible to have 40 people in a karaoke room or a mall bank. What happened to that?"

"After yesterday's discussion, I left the room for the first time... but at that time there were some class A students. In the hallway next to the Class"

p. 59

And how was that? Haruka and Airi look at each other face to face.

Looks like Akito didn't understand, but I seemed to notice after a while.

"Is he a spy?"

"That's right. On this test, the information you decide in class says something. Even if you only listen in Class C, you can gather some information."

Which event is likely to be chosen or who is good at what?

It should be better to have one or more ingredients available.

It means the battle has already begun.

"From that point of view, Class C has been out of business as soon as possible."

"Come. Sakayanagi, I've been working on that."

As he trembles carelessly, Haruka wonders.

"Well, then should we also collect Class A information? Eyes on the eyes, teeth in the teeth"

It will be said that it is ok to do it the other way around.

However, Keisei does not easily assert.

"If you can do that easily, you won't fight."

"Hm?"

"Maybe I'm not the only one. You should also know Horikita, and it's no use doing that. Do you think a class will meet and talk to nearly 40 people in the classroom today?

In class C, which has no unit, it starts from the point where it is unified in the first place.

It is not a position in which some upper-class students like Class A decide all policies for Sakayanagi.

Who is the commander, who is thinking of the element, who is collecting information?

The other side has a determined role at the time the test began.

p. 60

Even if class discussions take place in the classroom, it can be tempting to keep some people on guard to avoid recognition.

"But is it okay to look for something? Or maybe you're offended. Could you be in a class and talk in class?"

"If so, I'm afraid. I doubt the credibility of the information that is transmitted there."

If the information you heard is false, it only leads to a waste of time. The idea of lighting is blank. Information is one thing to hide, and information that is not hidden should be doubted.

"But it is absolutely necessary to make information war. The point is that that's the way ...

"We ... can we win?

Airi's anxious is lost if she has fallen into the feeling that she is already surrounded.

"At this point, you should see that you're leading one or two steps."

There is no part where Class C dominates where nothing has been decided.

"But it's going to be a fight against class A, right?"

"It's bad. It's because you lost the lottery."

Actually, I picked a class even though I won, I'll apologize on the surface.

"Oh no, it's not that! I am sorry! I can't blame you at all!"

It was terribly unbelievable that he would have taken the apology more than He thought.

"If you come in by grabbing a quarter of a pound, it's hard to crush yourself"

Such words flew in Akito, Haruka shrunk.

"Oh, so that's why I said I didn't mean ...

After thinking a little bit if I wanted to change the situation.

"I just need to pull a little bit of my hand, but I'm going to make him a C-class opponent, and I think it's the same way, right?"

"Let's take care ... do you look like Sakayanagi? "

p. 61

"... I can't see it at all. Not only the crusher of Yamauchi-kun, but I completely crush the Class"

In fact, Haruka added something.

"But a disaster is happening. Kiyotaka is like that.

He's hit this shoulder just as Keisei's praying for work.

"Well, it's a fact that there's a protection point. I have no choice but to stand in the command tower. I don't want to lose, but I'm honestly grateful that no one is worried about being abandoned."

These are the words I can send to my friends that I can do now.

Whatever the reason, there is a self-directed approach to class A confrontation.

"The opponent is a Class A, but if you lose it, it won't be Kiyotaka's responsibility."

"Sakayanagi is also coming out in the command tower."

The rumor is that every 99 out of 100 get the victory for Sakayanagi. Also in that sense, my position will not change in class when I lose. Conversely, even if victory is achieved, Horikita's leadership, only to become described as a successful strategy, has succeeded.

"Good ... it will be hard to win"

I put my arms together and exhaled as if I had given up some revelation.

However, at that moment, Akito makes an unexpected comment.

"Because a Class A opponent, you won't win by all means".

"Well ... yes? No, I don't want to lose ...

"It's not a secret, but is there any way to get rid of the victory of Class A?"

That's how Akito starts explaining.

p. 62

"When this test was announced, I thought it would be unreasonable to fight with the upper class, but I was able to find a small chance for Ike's accident.

"What did Ike-kun say? What about Janken?

As I recalled, when Haruka added, the philosophers began to assert.

"At first, I thought it was an idiotlike event, but if it's a lucky event, it means there's always a profit rate of around 50% for anyone who's against it. It's not a bad thing to bring 5 types of events depending on the day of the event".

In response to a person's explanation so clear, the addition of light makes the eyes shine.

"If you fight with that strategy, you'll be able to compete in the same way between Class A or B!"

"Yes, I don't think it's a bad idea!"

"No ... it's not that sweet".

In contrast to the three who rejoice, Keisei accepts the strategy calmly.

"I don't know if I don't calculate correctly, but I'm likely to have a 5- to 10% chance of winning with this strategy."

"Yes, that's it, isn't it? Well, I'm not saying exactly 50%, but isn't it likely that 2 or 30% will win? Is it hard to win 4 out of 5 events? "

"It takes a lot of luck to get that kind of development, as Haruka says."

5 of 7 events become the case of Class C, the chance to win more than four events is due to luck. If we calculate the profit rate of each type at 50% and derive it as a probability ....

I calculate the probability in my mind.

Among the 7 events, the probability that their 5 types are all selected is 8.33%.

The chance to win four or more wins with a win rate of 50% is 18.75% after 5 games.

p. 63

Conclusions drawn through both. 1.56%.

That's not 5%. It would be hard to say that aiming to win only hopefully is a good idea.

Still, this only saw a simple side, a formula to win four or more hopefully.

In fact, although several factors are intertwined and the probability changes, there is no difference in being bad in what is called a strategy.

Then, you should take a little risk, but you should focus on your area of expertise.

It's better to have fewer events that depend on 50% of luck.

"No, I didn't think it was going to happen."

A brilliant person scratched his cheek that the prospect was sweet. Suddenly I realize that Airi is looking at this in a worrying way. I was more anxious when our sight lines crossed.

"Kiyotaka-kun ... okay? Commander-

As the difficulty of winning class A came to light, I thought so.

"Yes, it's good because you have a protection point, don't overdo it."

Haruka have counted in order to cover half of Airi's words.

"Haruka is right, at least we didn't think you were connected to Sakayanagi. That's right, isn't it?"

They all came to see me. Because of trust, he doesn't feel bad.

"Oh, it seems that there were classmates who had several doubts, but Horikita-san's explanation almost convinced me. Well, at first I thought the point of protection was a very good thing, but if I had something, it's kind of annoying to have it."

"I thought people who might get the protection points would envy, but if you look at Kiyotaka-kun, I feel like I'll use it as soon as I'm in the same position."

The fact that only one person is in the safe zone in nature. It's not easy to keep it safe if it's a half-hearted sensation. With regard to Airi bass, Akito denies with his arms.

p. 64

"I will not spit out the protection point no matter what I say".

"But why do you buy the animosity of your classmates, are jealousy?"

"The great premise is wrong in the first place. I don't want to say anything to the things I've gained with power. Rather, to protect myself, Kiyotaka should have been in an arbitrary position."

As if he had become a human being, jealousy gathered in his arms.

Akito, who has been silent so far, looks at me and says.

"In fact, it's hard to fight class A opponents, and I'm grateful that Kiyotaka has received it. If I were another student, would I have been the second to leave school? Or if it was Keisei, could you have applied to be the commando?

"That's it ... probably."

However, I do not understand the unwillingness of revelation. With more talented students in the command tower, I'll get a solid victory. I'd like to show that attitude.

"This time I had a bad option to retire from school, but if that wasn't the case, who was the best choice for the control tower? After all, Horikita-san?

Airi shows his head bowed and reminds them of several people.

"You're right. Hirata-kun or Kushida-san, and perhaps Yukimo."

The names of students who will have stable results as commander are listed.

"Hirata, what do you think ... "

The talk about Class A, I think would just get depressed, Akito changes the subject.

"Keisei, how do you see the battle between Classes D and B"

The same special exam also mentioned the other team.

"It's class B that will win first. The ability to collaborate is different, and the overall capacity is overwhelmingly high."

"Yes, of course. The command tower was not Ryuuen-kun but Kaneda-kun."

p. 65

There's no need to fear the D-class without Ryuuen. The feeling is probably right.

However, Ishizaki of the class wanted to fight class B early. Judgment can't be stupid unexpectedly. If I were in a position to lead Class D, it would be The B-Class nominating as an opponent. Class A is led by Sakayanagi, Katsuragi, Hashimoto and other opponents who cannot be offensive, and their classmates with high academic ability even in grade. As far as Class C is concerned, you shouldn't preferably fight me. Of course, there are aspects you can expect not to appear on the table, but the advantage of Class D is basically academic ability but physical ability. If you want to make the most of it, you still want to select class B. However, it does not reach such a level. To increase the chance that they won't lose.

Whether Class D wins or not will really depend on the choice here and luck.

A small outbreak has still only sprung up.

"Oh, I'll try a little"

Haruka turns her eyes like she's singing. There was a Hirata figure traveling to the cafeteria.

The steps are heavy and are close to being movements like zombies and ghosts.

His eyes are not impressive, and the gap with Hirata, which was always bright, is large.

"I'm ... seriously"

There were no other words to speak, and it was small. A man who's been thinking and acting on the class more than anyone. It was unmistakable that Hirata's achievement was significant that the class worked without anyone missing for a year after admission.

"First of all, Hirata is useless in this special test. Even if it's hard to fight class A, we'll have a big disadvantage from the start."

p. 66

A statement of enthusiasm that can be received a little cold.

"We can't do it in any way."

The approach to Hirata is often made by other students.

At this time, no one's words have been received, although no change has been seen at all.

Rather, it seems that the damage is spreading more when touching the tumor.

The Ayanokouji Group has no close friends with Hirata.

It is concluded that the voices of these members cannot be delivered naturally.

That's why I didn't react to Keisei's words like the rest of us.

Part 1

Finally, after school the serious discussion begins. Hirata was the only one who stood immediately.

"Hirata-kun!"

"Hello, Hirata-kun!"

Several girls cast their voices at Hirata at once. Among them was Mii-chan.

But I didn't stop and I didn't know what kind it would be. That attitude

Just go to school, take classes and try to get back on the road so you don't get in the way of class.

Only such a cycle will be repeated.

"Wait, Hirata-kun!"

"Wait?

It was Mii-chan who tried to pursue him, but Horikita's words stab her.

"It's a talk from now on. Are you going to lower the number of people?

"But ..."

p. 67

"Now you can't do anything to anyone. Go back to the seat."

Horikita has the feeling that she wants to jump and makes everyone sit down.

Now, it will be the main priority to change the mind and solidify the policy of the class.

"Koenji is still here"

Sudo is surprised at the involvement of an amazing man and says he will mix.

"Fufufufu. Am I a member of this class? Of course I will participate"

He said something white as if it were natural.

"But I hope the talks end quickly. I'm very busy."

"It's a difficult query. This special exam is not something that can be decided overnight. Even if the event is decided, we have to make a long-term decision to win the event."

Horikita, who was on the teaching platform, breaks Koenji's hope from the opposite direction.

Koenji no longer argues against that, Horikita smiles.

At first it seems that you need to listen to this talk.

"That's why I'm going to be the only participant this time."

Koenji is not erased until the end. Whatever class policy, there seemed to be no idea that there was no idea of working together. Sudo is silent, but immediately lies down in response to Horikita's gaze. If I give up here again, the story never progresses.

"For me, I'll only work with you to get involved next time."

Koenji smiles at Horikita, who speaks somberly, and he gathers his arms and legs.

It's a sign you should discuss.

"Horikita. I have a simple question about the participants in the event, and that's all I want to hear."

"What is Ike-kun"

p. 68

Ike gets up with his hands up.

"I'm talking about fighting 7 games in total, but isn't it our turn?"

"Who are we pointing at and what does that mean?"

"Oh, well, in a nutshell, for those students who aren't so good at all? Students who are not very good at exercising or in the studio are not supposed to be able to get on stage. Even if you choose only the events you can win with a little elite, won't you be doing a good number of people?

About 40 students are enrolled in each class.

Even if one or two people's events are selected, they will face 7 games between 2 or 30 people.

In other words, depending on the combination, almost half do not participate in the event.

"I don't know. If it's a 20-person event?"

Kei makes a statement to get into Ike's opinion.

"You're an idiot-Karuizawa. Can I play with only one team of 11 in football? What else do I need to do? I can't even imagine one."

"It's "is it ... baseball or something?"

"There are 10 baseball players, less than football."

"There are nine baseball players"

A sharp spot of Horikita flies immediately.

"... Well, that's why you don't need it at all."

"No, right? American football is the same 11 people as football, and rugby2 is certainly 15 people."

Sudo mentions events that require more than 10 people.

"No, am I going to play rugby? Don't I even know the rules?"

It's not a minor sport, but it's an area that's totally unknown to people without an advantage. It's not something I do in classes

2 Rugby aims to carry an oval ball (ball) to behind the line that represents the end of the field, or to pass this ball between two poles and a crossbar that are located on the same line.

p. 69

physical education. Even class A students can't get lost in example.

I can't imagine how to start practicing rugby from now on.

It's doubtful it's going to happen, even if it applies as an event, and there seems to be little merit for anyone.

"I don't think our turn will come"

"What do you mean?

"That ... it's not like this kind of meeting, or a practice after this."

"I know what I want to be comfortable. If I do something I don't want to do, I'll definitely be mentally stressed, and it'll save valuable breaks."

"Oh, I'm not going to say that yet, but ..."

"But I think everyone needs to work together"

"I explain the motive. I will do everything I can to support any conversation I can understand."

Says Sudo

"It depends on the rules of the other party, for example, how many people are required. For example, let's say the other side has suggested volleyball. Volleyball is usually a 6-6 sport, but you have the right to decide some rules. What happens if the rules for a change of all players are set every 10 minutes in a 30-minute game?

"Hm ... because six people are replaced in 10 minutes...

It's only 18 people. Nearly half of the students will participate.

Also, because six people are required at once, it can be said that it is a rule that can participate without any problem in any degree. The school side is also easy to give permission for the app.

"If there isn't one of those events? If you try to open the cover, you may need to force everyone to participate in two or three events.

Of course, it depends on the event and rule that a class emits.

 PAGE: 70

In the sense of not making it comfortable, it can be a mixture of fakes.

"Some people haven't created a pin now, but this is a special exam that's more complex than you think."

If you go through every event, you'll come out with something you think is silly.

Ike said Janken, it's not surprising that there's a kind of event like playing cards.

You can't afford to dress up to win 4 in any way.

Regardless of the content, you need to select the events that can be won with certainty and people.

"I'm not going to hold it for long today."

In fact, moderation doesn't always lead to good ideas.

Then why do I have everyone in space? Give me a homework today. Tomorrow after school, I'd like you to think of "A theme where I'm Good" and "A Subject I Can't Miss." The individual battle team doesn't care about the battle."

Of the 5 events, it's "one-on-one at an event" that I want to put by all means. It will probably be something that each class will take with confidence that it can never be abandoned. But if you come back, you can't count the damage if you let it. Students with skills and talents that are competitive with others are desirable.

"But it's not something the school admits, is it? I don't know the standard well."

Events and rules that are too minor can be eliminated by the school.

It can be a problem that many students have that part is unclear.

"I don't care now. Whether it's an event you can attend school, it's a good idea to think about after you have an opinion. Now I'm welcome to any event."

"In other words, good game, karaoke or something?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter".

 PAGE: 7 1

Again, Horikita expresses that they don't have to worry about it. It'll be the right way.

First of all, it's important to start by listening to what you're good at.

"What should I do if there isn't a good one?"

From Haruka, the question flies to Horikita.

"I don't care if I'm not sure of myself. I think it's risky to adopt a discipline I can't absolutely trust."

You want one or more of the events to appear, but that means there's no time for careful selection. There seems to be no error in Horikita's trial so far, so it's safe to keep an eye on him.

"Are you all right? Even if you end the discussion so quickly"

"If this is short, will it be easy to participate next time? Koenji-kun"

"Once it's once. I'm going to participate."

"... But I'm having trouble removing the "tasks" I did today. Otherwise, it would be hard to say I participated."

"I think about the event that I'm good at."

Put your hand on your jaw and keep your smile.

"Yes. If you participated once, you just have to get the result."

Horikita's goal is to join a second time if you can't.

When Koenji wakes up gracefully, he only tells Horikita one word.

"There's nothing I can't do. I'm a perfect human."

"Every time an opponent arrives, no matter what type of event you'll always win, can you be sure?"

It's a semi-provocation, and it's a part that can't help but hope.

How would Koenji answer that question?

"I'll win at the event I participated in. Well, should I promise?

"Yes. If you can do this, I may like this special exam. I won't have to participate in the discussions in the future, and we won't ask for any comments here."

 PAGE: 72

"Oi, good bell sound"

Sudo overcomes an outrageous story, but Horikita continues.

"But remember. If you leave the game or lose in the event ... then they will have doubts about all your claims and your peers' confidence will increase rapidly."

It's not a bad idea, Horikita. By doing this, the goal is to make full use of Koenji in the day. Koenji is a first-class product with academic ability and physical ability, but the only troubling material is its character. If you're rested or scolded in the day, it's an attempt to put up with it now. How does Koenji respond? Koenji left the classroom, but stopped.

"That's just one thing. Don't think you can link me to those words. It's a fact that you're a unparalleled genius, but decide whether to use that talent for you." I'm myself."

In other words, Koenji's response was taken as an almost real no. It is not related to a sudden increase in distrust, even if you suspect future statements. I'm just doing what I want to do.

Leaving the words, Koenji came out of the classroom again.

"... It's not a straight line, he's."

"He's serious, I'm quitting ... I'm a genius who won't lose to anyone. If I'm an opponent, I'll play a basketball."

I can understand Sudo's feeling of becoming so poisonous.

No matter how talented a person is, she cannot be called almighty.

In fact, the question is whether you can beat Koenji if you fight Sudo in basketball.

"If he works that day, he can get some results. I don't know how it sounded, I think I can only see it now."

"If I am ..."

Certainly, it is also true that the vision of Koenji's loss cannot be imagined. It's also honest that not only can you fall in love with the possibility of whether you're feeling or not, if you can show that great word and confidence. Sudo knows that point, too.

p. 73

"But do you think he'll play a serious game?"

"Sorry"

Even if you win seriously, you can't win unless you do it seriously.

Part 2

The next day. I've been told Horikita has been to school in the morning.

"For Hirata, I decided not to calculate at least during this test as a force."

Hirata, who quietly rejected the after-school meetings where Koenji also participated yesterday.

It is not surprising that Horikita makes that decision if shown that situation.

"It's a reasonable decision. There are too many disruptive factors to trust."

If you can force them into their involved, it's only backfire.

"It's still good if it's just for this test, but in some cases it will last for a long time."

Worries are not a big deal.

It would be a common recognition that we would like to expect demodulation, but the method is currently unknown.

"If you think Hirata's withdrawal is worth it, there's a way out of school, isn't there?

When they bring history that way, they accept it calmly and with some surprises.

"That's right ... well, I might have to think about that too. This time he was saved because he was not told he was desperate and wanted to make a command tower."

In this special test, it was possible that Hirata was executed for the command.

And defeat is the deliberately withdrawn. Sounds easy

p. 74

However, even if the person is not familiar with this school, it does not mean that they want to disturb others.

That's why you have to see that the candidate to go lose wasn't bold.

The reason I'm still living now is that if I drop out of school, my class gets a negative evaluation. When he quits, it's a move that won't bother other people.

But that's just "now" a story that's limited.

"But------ he won't always be a good man forever. When will he be desperate?

"Yes"

If Horikita says he's desperate, I don't know how Hirata will turn out.

I can't say I'm not afraid I'll squeeze my class into a semi-destruction.

"That's why I don't want to give him a chance right now, with the bomb. And I want to bring the class together so I don't shoot."

Hirata doesn't like to be a C-class crash anymore.

Horikita has been actively involved from the beginning to avoid it.

"It's a big problem."

"You who became a command tower will also be serious from now on"

"I leave everything. If Horikita is part of the command tower, Horikita could give a good idea."

He looked at me diluted.

"Are you able to defeat Sakayanagi?"

"Yes"

"Oh ... I'm going to win. Can you join me more?

I know that kind of thing without saying.

"I get actively involved in the class, decide what to do with the members of the event, and decide the rules of participation in the command tower?

That said, Horikita's face will gradually strengthen.

p. 75

"... I can't imagine it before it's horrible."

"Oh, right?"

I am to the end, the presence of the shadow in the class. It doesn't change even if you become a commander.

Suddenly there is a way to omit instructions.

Based on the strategy compiled by Horikita, let's take the way to use it.

As I spoke, I felt the air in the classroom change.

Hirata's been to school. I care as long as I keep a lot of students from looking forward.

"Good morning, Hirata-kun"

In the morning, Mii-chan sees Hirata, who was late for school at the last minute. It's a courageous act that doesn't overwhelm the bad air of this place. However, they will be ignored.

Hirata sat quietly without reacting to anyone.

Still Mii-chan doesn't break his smile.

"Who can I imagine, this is the current situation"

""No"

Mii-chan's struggle is also vain, and Hirata's lonely time continues.

"Although, only she doesn't give up when she asks Hirata-kun. I didn't think there was any deep contact with him..."

Horikita is also aware that Mii-chan is paying special attention to Hirata.

And I seem to have started to wonder why I'm still doing this.

"Because he's nice, I think?

"That's why I also have to show it to other students."

"Surely"

When Yamauchi is about to drop out of school, it's no wonder Mii-chan is friendlier.

p. 76

If so, there will only be one reason to keep talking to Hirata.

"Love, maybe"

"It's probably the chance that they'll let you ... it's a feeling.

As you drown, I cross my arms, and if I don't understand, I shake my neck left and right.

"The fact that you give the resources of the class should also be limited ...

The idea that everyone will leave Hirata for a certain period of time.

"Isn't it hard?"

"There is no such thing. There's no one who speaks actively, except her."

Hirata decides to ignore even mii-chan's most devoted.

Certainly not many students can go further here.

"Whoever wants to forget something in some way"

Horikita thinks about quitting.

"To some extent, I'm not going to complain, but it's obviously getting worse."

"Well, it can be a fact that you're not in that"

In addition, the classroom environment worsens every time Hirata gets involved.

Mii-chan who was strongly ignored by Hirata, but approached Hirata without hesitation again.

"Hello Hirata-kun, today for lunch ------"

I thought I wanted to invite him to lunch, but he went to ask him for a lot ...

"Can you leave me alone?"

"O"

Hirata's somewhat harsh words fly into the classroom.

Hirata reveals his downside against Mii-chan, who uttered words.

"It's gloomy."

p. 77

The words were kind, but the voice contained only cold emotions.

"Well, I, I ... just want to have lunch together!"

Mii-chan tries to keep his smile hard, but his emotions crush his smile.

"I'm not going to eat with you at all."

No more, Hirata outdid no.

Those girls who don't want to see this Hirata look them in the eye openly.

"Hey, Yousuke-kun. Isn't it an exaggeration to say the amount of something?"

Here, Kei moved. I can't have been forced to move in this situation.

It is easy to imagine how he was asked if he could do nothing for the enthusiasm of grace. If Hirata retires here, Kei will be able to keep his elements, for the time being, he can calm him down in class.

But ---

"I'm not familiar with that and I don't call it with the name below. It's nothing with me, is it?"

"Oh, that's right. Well, then Hirata-kun, say it too hard to Mii-chan."

They correct the name and still head to Hirata.

Play his role exactly as a leader who brings together girls.

"It's a trivial difference compared to the attitude you usually take."

Hirata doesn't stop the counterattack.

"Nm ... Oh, I'm for the ---! class"

"Can I rest easy? Did... don't you understand?

Hirata forcibly closes Kei's words trying to continue.

If you do anything extra, it reveals all that, such a threatened comment.

If at least Hirata's weaknesses are shown, it is inevitable to catch them.

"What, sorry. I don't know anymore."

 PAGE: 78

If this happens, there's no way I can do it.

It is pulled down in the form of endless retreat.

"How long are you going to be by my side?"

Hirata, who sinks grace without apologising, puts an end to Mii-chan's impatient cry. Everything was rejected by Hirata, and Mii-chan sat in his seat, lost.

Hirata should have thought I could never hear from Mii-chan again.

"The morale of the whole class is bad ...

"I don't think Koenji cares at all."

In a heavy classroom, one man doesn't care about anything.

Even in the fight with Hirata, Mii-chan and Kei, it seems to have nothing to do with his care.

"Why in class, are there guys in trouble?"

I think you're also told by that person, my words were swallowed.

Part 3

No matter how bad the air, time flows equally.

Naturally, after school, class ends.

Second-class meeting. Is this the third time, including the only time I haven't exactly participated?

It's been three days since the exam started. I'll have to move on soon.

Hirata leaves the classroom as soon as possible today.

Mii-chan appears in vain.

And I got up once to be inspiring.

However, his feet are not one step ahead.

In the morning, it would have fallen on the mind that was rejected by Hirata.

p. 79

The legs that rose broke and sat in the chair.

"That's fine ---"

Horikita's cruel but kind words fly to my ears. You shouldn't be involved with Hirata now. Horikita and her companions know it's safe.

Occasionally, the boys' jealousy complains about Hirata, but now they can't hear it. Aren't there people who hated the fallen man? Or simply because Hirata, you can't say wrong.

"Mii-chan, if the conversation ended today, can't we go back together?"

Kushida screams in anticipation of Mii-chan's state of mind.

"She asked me this time.

"Yes"

Kushida that leaves no friends in need.

If you can't save Hirata, Kushida's policy is to work with Mii-chan.

It is good if you get the mental test score and such motivation will be salvation.

Mii-chan talks a little and agrees.

"Now I'm sorry, this is rude"

After all, Koenji does not seem to have any intention of participating, so he leaves the classroom after Hirata.

It was a state of pride, just to say that it had already been eliminated by Horikita.

After all, the talks will be run by 37 people.

After seeing Koenji, Horikita will sit and stand in front of the teaching platform.

Chabashira left the classroom while I saw him on his side.

"Oh, I wonder if everyone thought about what I was good at."

"Wait. There's something I want to be aware of before the discussion."

The first thing I raised before the discussion was Keisei.

p. 80

"What's up, Yukimura-kun"

"We are concerned about illegal eavesdropping in our Discussions of the Class Of C."

Even if you're closing the classroom, you can hear the voice if you hit it in the nearby hallway.

"Yes, this school doesn't allow a single decent conversation."

"You should take action, for example, make some guards. I think it's an honest matter to talk to each other without doing anything."

"Yes, that's right."

If you already know, Horikita looks at it.

"But I don't think watching is the measure"

"... why"

"I'm going to be careful and warn you not to go near the classroom. The corridor is a shared space that all students can use equally. Yes, more strictly, this C class is no exception. I have no right to refuse students."

Horikita says if you block the ticket, you can make a claim at that time.

"That's why it's just a waste to see."

"So, you're going to make all the arguments come through here? Who's good and bad at what? More problems will occur if the information is filtered for free."

"For that, it will be solved by using this ".

What Horikita pulled out. It's a cell phone.

"We will do group chats for the whole class and discuss this special exam only. We'll talk about important things here as we exchange opinions orally, so other classes can hear it. No problem."

I heard the idea and heard that I was convinced.

"Oh, I see ... that's fine."

"Oh, can I send all my contacts and do it?"

p. 81

Horikita does not object to Kushida who has offered it.

It is no exaggeration to say that the only students who know the contact information for all classes.

"Ah ----"

During the story of Horikita and Keisei, Mii-chan stands up.

"I'm sorry. Today, I ... I have a business ...a"

"That's ... to chase Hirata?"

When Kushida asked him, little Mii-chan nodded.

I move my foot that should be heavy and try to follow Hirata.

"Wait. There's no point in doing that now."

"That ... what does it mean?"

For Horikita, Mii-chan asked in an unexpectedly strong tone.

"He's useless now. They'll drag you to you."

"I don't want to leave Hirata-kun"

"I'm not talking about abandoning him, just leave him now."

"So when will they help Hirata-kun?"

"... It's up to him."

"No, I think it's different."

Having said that, Mii-chan left. And he came out of the classroom without hearing the moderation.

"It's absolute --- ihave to leave it now"

Naturally, no one will follow Mii-chan.

"I'll have some. I'll be waiting for everyone to come back."

It shows the intention to chase Mii-chan and bring him back, and Horikita leaves the classroom.

I probably thought it wasn't good to leave it for others.

"It's ruining ... Hirata can't speak in a fair way."

That's why it's not unreasonable for enlightenment to become poisonous.

p. 82

After all, we have made no progress on the third day. I'll take a seat.

"Hey, Ayanokouji, I'm going after her. Suzune was hoping to say that."

Sudo is very careful. Certainly, it's only going to make it worse if everyone comes out like this.

"Understanding"

"I understand, Oy!"

He calls Horikita, who just started walking down the aisle, and stops calling her.

"Horikita"

"... I told you not to move"

"I'm going to bring Mii-chan back, but you don't have to move. I'll be there. You're in charge of organizing the class."

"You're also a commander. Isn't that strange? If you don't analyze the strength of your class, you won't be able to prove its power as a commander."

"I'll make you think about it later, I can't do anything for myself anyway"

"That's the problem..."

"Can you solve the Hirata problem?"

"That's what..."

"It's not that people who think it's a good idea to leave it alone"

Horikita, one of the factors that caused Hirata to decompose, should not approach.

"If so, do you think you can solve it ...? "

"It depends on your efforts".

"If you solve it, it's weird if it hasn't been resolved before"

Not just mii-chan. Many students cared about Hirata.

Horikita has begun to question Mii-chan's behavior only because he was convinced that no effect appeared.

p. 83

"Well, later. Mii-chan will lose sight of the Hirata" .

""He'll be back soon"

He sends himself like a mother. When I go out, I meet Hashimoto.

It's not just a coincidence. Were we approaching for the purpose of monitoring Class C?

There is a possibility that the conversation between Horikita and me has also been heard.

Hashimoto didn't seem surprised, and he laughed and said something interesting.

"Ayanokouji"

However, I don't have time to talk slowly.

"What a bad one, I'm in a hurry now."

"If you're chasing your teammates, you've run to the other side"

I look lightly and respond, I follow Mii-chan.

Hirata's actions over the last two days are all the same.

It would be safe to go back to my bedroom in the bedroom at first sight so as not to see anyone after school.

Part 4

Shortly after leaving school, I first found the figure of Mii-chan.

And before that, Hirata's back is back, too.

Looks like he can't talk to Hirata despite his courage and jump to that place.

What was rejected this morning will be trapped in my mind.

"Aren't you calling me?"

"... Ayanokouji-kun"

Mii-chan warns me.

I start walking side by side with Mii-chan and stared at Hirata's back.

p. 84

"Hey, I'm a little embarrassed ..."

She was just called in this morning and they turned her down.

Then why have you been chasing him? Most of the others are giving up"

"That's why ..."

Apparently, I didn't think much.

Mii-chan thinks why he keeps chasing Hirata.

Maybe it's not just because he likes Hirata.

Having been worried for a while, Mii-chan talks about finding a little answer.

"Everyone says Hirata-kun should be silent, but ... I think that's not the case, because it's a difficult time, so we have to help him ... .."

So he's been chasing him.

"Can you end up hating Mii-chan?"

It's good if it's only once, but if it's repeated, Hirata's response will get harder and harder.

I can't say I shouldn't be angry.

"... I don't like it.

Recalling Hirata's rejection, Mii-chan shook his head from side to side.

"I don't like it... However, if I feel that Hirata-kun is not alone, because I do not like it, If you think he will be saved, he can be saved later ... It's OK for him to hate me! ".

A strong heart that doesn't win.

However, I felt that only the power of the eyes was genuine.

"Am I wrong? Ayanokouji-kun"

"No. I agree."

Leaving Hirata right now won't make the situation any better.

p. 85

If you do that, he'll be trapped in deep darkness and won't escape.

"If you call him?"

"Good"

Mii-chan's legs that weighed again were put in front.

And we're going to close the distance with Hirata in a hurry.

Horikita will be angry later, but now it's better to keep him.

That kindness will do the most damage to "throwing Hirata" to any extent.

And in the near future, the mind will break and choose how to withdraw from school by force.

When I get back near the classroom, Hashimoto finds me as I move.

"Yo"

"Can we steal C-class information?"

"No, unfortunately. They told me the important parts with my cell phone, I didn't have a handstroke."

Hashimoto that makes his shoulders look as if he were sending his cell phone.

The strategy for using a cell phone seems to be understood by listening.

"I was waiting for you to come back. How was it?

"As you can see, it's karate"

I ask you can't bring Mii-chan back.

"I can't get into one rock, so it looks like a lot."

"It's hard for Horikita to organize a class that one."

"Because you have a protection point, did you need to be a command tower? "

Hashimoto was tangled in his tongue. Aim to get information out here too.

p. 86

"The opponent is Class A. First of all, we don't have any victories in our class. If I have to leave school, I think there's no choice but to become a graceful self."

"I see, that's true."

It was Hashimoto who didn't seem convinced anywhere, but he left when I left him.

"I came to recognition lightly, but because it was useless, the princess of Uchi told me that I would stop and do it. Still, I thought I'd try to collect information I could collect, wasn't it that stupid there?

I slightly hit my shoulder and Hashimoto walked somewhere. After looking back, I'll return to the classroom where the discussion about the event began. Sitting as I told Horikita that she couldn't bring Mii-chan back. On that matter, I wasn't pushed with Horikita.

It seems that on the mobile phone, the conversations of inexperienced people are already progressing to some extent, and more than half of the students have responded.

It looks like the flow according to the image I can understand with the knowledge I know and Kei's supplement. Sudo is playing basketball, Onodera is swimming, Akito is in archery, and so on. Students who believe in academic ability, such as Horikita or Keisei, then enrolled in the class that gives particularly high grades. However, unlike sports specialization at one point, the ability to compete in academic skill is a major obstacle to competing if there is not enough skill.

"Ayanokouji-kun, I wonder if there are other classes in the hallway"

"It looked like I'd been there before, but I realized I'd started the conference using my cell phone and came back."

"Yes, of course".

Sudo who understood the flow that there is no recognition now moves.

"Never play basketball!"

Sudo who speaks directly to Horikita.

p. 87

"I have no doubt about your ability. I won't lose to any class opponent.

"There are several ways to fight in basketball. If they choose 1 in 1, I'll definitely show you a win."

The basic rule of the basket is that it is 5 to 5 on the court.

However, there are some rules of derivation. Sudo defends 1 in 1 that. If the rules are adjusted, it will be recognized as a sufficient event.

"Yes. I can't doubt your skill as a basketball player. If you're one-on-one, I think you'll definitely bring a victory."

"It's absolute"

"But this special exam isn't that easy"

"Why, why?"

"Because you can only choose an event that is specialized for one by one"

According to the rules that decide the event, "the number of participants in the event cannot be the same".

"If you have many events one by one, you can choose only the people who are specialized. In swimming Onodera would be chosen from our class. If you want to win, we'll have a one-on-one chance to have a swimming game.

That's why you can get a solid victory.

Of course, there is a risk of hitting children, but Onodera's time may be enough.

"If it's an English game, Wang always has a score close to the perfect score. That's why there aren't a few students in this class who are likely to win in a one-on-one battle style." "

Sudo's face, which she thought would bring victory, sucks a little.

"I'm just a beginner in the basket, so I listen with interest. If I compete in the regular basket, i.e. 5 against 5. I'll solidify the other four people with girls who aren't good at the movement. Can the other party win even if they come? "

p. 88

"Honesty, I trust I can win with a weak team, but ... but when basketball players come to their ... I can't say absolutely"

"Honesty. I'll honestly respect you if you win here pointlessly."

That's why Horikita will be in charge.

"You think well, too. It's sad to throw away the basket event. Therefore, choose a member who thinks they can win with 5 to 5 and with the minimum strength." We are committed to presenting it to the school as an event"

"Understood ..."

Sudo, who accepted Horikita's story directly from the front, says.

And I went back to my seat to do my own simulation.

It's a tough place. Sudo has good motor nerves. There's no doubt that using basketball can make the most of it, but students can use it in other ways.

In tests like this, it plays the role of a strong chart in many situations.

It is also important to note that it is lonely to easily consume one by one.

Also, I'd like to stay calm until the end if I decide to put the basket in the game. Even if you can see the chance to win 5 to 5, you're not an idiot. If there is a basket in the tenth event, it will be decided that Sudo leaves.

The solid five are likely to come to a side to take action against Sudo and pick up victory. On the other hand, there is also a case where only one battle is completely abandoned and the rest is selected.

And, Horikita will repeat a story like that endlessly from now on.

I closed my room while watching a chat on my cell phone.

Anyway, I'm a command tower. You won't be asked if you're not good at something.

Only the form participates in this discussion, but all the details are the same as the policy left horito Horikita.

p. 89

Horikita, who has been exchanging for about an hour and has collected feedback from everyone. From here, instead of meeting, I think Horikita has switched to an individual form of packaging.

Part 5

Weekdays, Thursday morning school day.

Although spring is approaching, it seems to be a day with very cold temperatures than normal.

"Good morning, how cold it is!"

Behind me, you hear such a fine voice.

I don't think they're talking to me, and when I'm walking ignorantly, it becomes a strong voice.

"Hey, hey, Ayanokouji-kun?

Apparently, it was me who got called for the good morning.

It was class B teacher Hoshinomiya-sensei, who looked back.

"I have to wait"

A cold hand can hold my hand.

How does a teacher naturally hold hands with a male student' hand?

"I'm sorry. I didn't think you were talking. Is it for something?"

"Don't talk if it's no use?"

As he grabs my hand, I look at it.

It's the behavior of the race that you clearly understand that you're cute.

Maybe because I was watching Kushida's every move, I started to understand that.

"That's not why ..."

Pull my arm a little aggressive, and free me from Master Hoshinomiya's hand.

p. 90

Seeing such a gesture from me, I have a bad smile for some reason.

"Hey. Could you do it like her?"

"No, there's no sign that I can do it".

"Hey, right? Although it's such a blessed environment, it's worth it."

What area is "so blessed"?

"Oh, I don't know."

That's not good, hoshinomiya-sensei says in my ear.

"Students at this school are in an environment that is very easy to love"

"Why not?"

When I asked him, Hoshinomiya threw a little.

"I really don't know?"

"Yes, totally"

When I affirmed, Hoshinomiya-sensei threw a pom-pom and his shoulder twice more.

"What, I've been doing a round and I've seen the cute girl with Ayanokouji-kun"

No, I don't know at all what this person means.

"First I will reject it, but ... I regret the current situation. I think from the front I think it's a problem for men and women to live in the same bedroom."

"Is that so?"

Although the rooms are separate, it doesn't seem to matter at all. Getting away from the distance is awesome. Hoshinomiya-sensei also reduced the distance.

"This is a story I asked my friends, but it was tradition that kids who got a job at a company who had two months of training in the company's bedroom. The room is a couple of two, of course men and women. It's different."

"Hmm"

p. 91

Every time I try to leave, the next one fills up more, so I give up and listen to the story.

"But if two people use the same room, it's easy for them to have problems. Some kids don't like natto3, they don't like to smell, they don't like to see them. I said, "Don't eat natto in front of me, " but the boy told me he liked natto. That's why I ate natto in front of the kid who hated the first day of the conversation, and as a result, the boy who hated natto got angry and jumped out of the bedroom."

What does this person mean? It seems that the relationship between men and women living in the same bedroom is small.

"I think you're talking unrelated, but this is important"

Hoshinomiya-sensei continues to say that.

"This is good for businesses. The room-sharing system was abolished that year, and the new entrepreneurs the following year received single rooms, as were the dormitories of this school. And as a result, there was a big change between the previous year and that year.

"Is there a problem with men and women?"

"When I shared a room, I could only have one or two couples, but as soon as it became a single room, it could have seven or eight couples. If you have a child you love and go into the room to play, there's a more evil person. Because it's easy to get a rumor, everyone is on guard and doesn't turn into love. But -- "

A single room can meet with men and women without hesitation, but confidentially.

"The chance of becoming love also increases"

So you're surprised she hasn't been there yet?

"I'd like to ask, but are there many students who actually have a boyfriend or girlfriend?"

"That's not particularly true this year"

Hey, if so, isn't that wrong to tell me?

It seems useless when I told Hoshinomiya-sensei, so I'll keep it in the back.

3 Natto: is a derivative of soya, the result of fermentation of soybean seed

p. 92

"Your teacher's theory is wrong?"

"It's not there"

Surely, I refused.

"I don't know how good the atmosphere is for students now."

Is it positive or what?

"Because you'll regret it someday, is it better to be well in love now?

What does this person infuse with students who should actually pursue study?

I know there are hundreds of different teachers, but in a sense, they may not be visible.

"Ah, may I ask?"

"Well, well? How old is your tolerance? I'm sorry, the first grader is a little.........

"A word says no such thing"

"I know. You're laughing now, aren't you?"

Was I laughing? I pass the impulse of the mystery that will be dragged.

"How many heard"

He left the story of himself and was forced to return.

"I recommend love, but it's a lot when it comes to love between students in other classes."

"Why?"

"Because classes compete with each other, it will be a source of problems."

When I talk ed about the idea that seems to be a common place, I realized that the teacher's eyes were shining.

"That's good!"

"... yes?

"You'd do what's best for your own class, but your boyfriend or girlfriend is in the other rival class. That's why there's pain and conflict. There's a drama."

I am moved by what he said and repeat it repeatedly.

p. 93

"If competitions are naturally intertwined, will the competition intensify more?"

"That can be like this"

Actually, it will be. No wonder a betrayal comes out for a lover.

And it's practically impossible to capture and manage everything.

"What are you talking about"

"If you've made a rumor, somehow, right"

Rumor? Hoshinomiya-sensei who spoke strange things. It seems that the person is not aware of it at all.

Hoshinomiya finished the story and walked away a little from me.

"Just a chat, Sae-chan. I don't care if you have such a scary face."

"I'm a student at home"

"It seems like I'm thinking a lot about Ayanokouji-kun. Well, however, it will soon be revealed in a special test if you are competent. You'll even fight Sakayanagi, the best in grade."

"If so, I don't need to force it here now"

"Oh, that's true.

Hoshinomiya-sensei laughed at Chabashira-sensei. Doesn't mean I got meaningless. After Hoshinomiya-sensei left, Chabashira somehow looked at me with a side view.

Looks like she's worried about what she was talking about.

"What do you want to know?"

There are also school routes, I mean be careful.

Chabashira seemed to be waiting for the next words without saying anything.

"It's about room sharing"

"Share a room? ... again, to do something silly"

Apparently, there is also a history memory related to the part of the room with Chabashira-sensei.

p. 94

The point is that the company mentioned above is about this school.

And originally it was in the way of sharing room instead of single rooms.

Well, I think if you want to take your back off, it's likely to be taken right away, but it's not a problem for me.









p. 95

CHAPTER 5: Traps, Homemade Food and A Petition

On that day, something unusual happens.

That's when I was on lunch break and started moving in for lunch at Ayanokouji Group.

"Hey, Ichinose. You should definitely protest!"

As I walked with bright people, I heard some rough voices. The main voice of that voice was Shibata, who is in class B of 1st year. On top of that, Class B students Ichinose and Kanzaki are accompanied.

"It's very unusual, Shibata-kun is angry".

"It's certainly amazing"

No wonder Haruka and Akito are surprised.

"Is that so?"

It seemed that he didn't know much about Airi, who has no interaction with other classes.

Shibata, who belongs to the football club, is a bright and energetic folk person who is a slightly different type from Hirata.

As well as I know, it's not the kind of rough voice.

"But is there nothing mere coincidence?"

They tell Ichinose to forgive Shibata angry.

However, there seems to be something in Shibata, which I immediately denied.

"No, it's not that. Is this the third time today?

Kanzaki, who realized us on the move, incites Shibata lightly. We look at each other with an evil face somewhere and present ourselves calmly, but it's too late. The atmosphere is somewhat uncomfortable and silence flows.

"Hey, where are you going to have lunch?"

Suddenly, Ichinose calls us.

More than a specific person, it's towards the whole group.

p. 96

Peers who have weak contact with the Class B leader are confused because they don't know how to respond.

I was stabbed with the elbow with Ichinose who were by my side, and he answered willingly.

"... Oh. Coffee. Do you have something to do?"

"I'm sorry, it's a coincidence. So do we."

Upon hearing that, Ichino applauds brightly. But I noticed something strange here. Ichinose, who always talks with his eyes together, doesn't look me in the eye.

If you're okay, would you like to have lunch with us from now on? "

Faced with such an unexpected invitation, we are all surprised and look away.

"Ichinose, what do you mean?"

Shouldn't you have said such a thing, I heard like Kanzaki had fallen?

"What do you mean by ... You're not fighting class C, is it?

"That's right."

Kanzaki didn't seem very welcome in inviting us.

However, if it becomes Ichinose's decision, it cannot be rejected.

If one of us can't answer without knowing what to do...

"We're going to waste time."

So when you say it with a smile, of course, no one can refuse.

Part 1

We rented two tables in a corner of the café and decided to eat.

A place with a different combination of class B and class C is provided.

p. 97

"I'm sorry, I'm suddenly inviting you. Don't hesitate to give me a meal today."

Even though Ichinose apologizes like that, he says so.

Well, Ichinose"

In response to what I said, Kanzaki showed a little overreaction.

Ichino made a deal with Ryuuen not to get rid of the academics on the last special exam, the class vote.

At that time, all the private points held by the class should have been expelled.

You may have dug in some way, but you can't afford life.

"We were going to eat normally too, let's share ours."

When I say that, everyone in the group is satisfied too.

"I was forced to force myself, you don't have to worry ...

"It's good. We can eat it without getting it."

Bring a gift so you can eat on an equal footing and avoid the smell of Ichinose.

"Then ... why did you invite us?"

Keisei, who couldn't help but ask, asks Ichinose.

"I was surprised that everyone was surprised by Shibata-kun just before. I thought it would be more confusing to speak honestly than to be able to spread the speculation."

Judge Ichinose may be correct in a sense. If we couldn't talk, we were talking about Shibata for a while. I wonder why he was so angry. And in some cases, it may have spoken to a third party and spread unintentionally.

"All right, let's talk.

"Do you think you need to be watched?"

"There can't be any denying the possibility of a person in class C."

"Even if that's the case, there's no impact."

p. 98

"It's probably just a simple complaint"

When Shibata says so, Kanzaki looks with slightly sharper eyes.

"Hmm, Kanzaki"

"No..."

It seems that the meaning was not transmitted to Shibata.

It may have been a brutal act of complaining and protecting yourself easily, but this is not a problem because other students don't know it.

"How have you asked me so far, is it better to talk?

"... That's right.

Shibata's neglected word becomes the decisive blow, and Kanzaki also breaks.

"Just speaking, it's like I'm getting a big harassment from Class D."

"Harassment?"

Shibata says to eat.

"Something, Nakanishi was a victim and suffered similar damage. What are you saying? You mean they're involved nonsense, or do you say they can be added later? The victim seems to be quite frightened by Albert and was quietly pushed against the wall."

If you speak so far, Kanzaki will also participate in the talk if you consider that the rest will be the same.

"I asked two people for a while, but I'm sure there's no doubt."

In other words, some students are selected from Class D after the special exam has begun.

"You don't have to be jealous, do you?"

"For now"

Physical damage is unlikely to be so far away just by chasing it.

Of course, if the other side comes out, it will become a big problem.

p. 99

"I think I'm trying to push class D. I think the goal is to make these moves and judgments boring by repeating this kind of harassment several times on the day of the exam."

"Sorry, I think even class D is a scary picture. Can you understand it if you're in Class C because you've been bothered?

Shibata has probably said that Sudo, Ishizaki and Komiya gave up.

It was the enlightenment that I was listening silently after seeing such an exchange, but it pinched his mouth.

"It's strange to tell a class somewhere else, but it's not a strange thing. There is certainly a bad image in Class D, but even if there is a certain level of pressure, it is not bad. Also Class A, I have received an imitation of a reconnaissance prank."

"Yes, is it?"

Keisei roars and talks about class A students who come to spy near the classroom.

"Because Class D is desperate, I'm thinking of collecting the information I can collect"

Upon hearing the history of the C-class, Shibata shows his conviction.

However, the damage I'm getting is likely to be higher in class B.

"If you're fighting well, it's definitely a good test for us, so it's reasonable. It's better to see that there's a chance that we're working in the future, to the last limit where we don't touch school rules."

Kanzaki analyses it that way. However, it is a point that only some students came close to getting caught a little.

Did you think it was risky to set it up for Ichinose and Kanzaki ......?

Or do you have anything else to do?

"I don't think it's the idea Shibata-kun would say, is it Ishizaki-kun?"

"That would be like this"

"I know what you care about, but we only do what we can do. We just have to choose the events on the line to maintain our cohesion

p. 100

without interruption, and we will do everything we can to fight production."

The Class B boys agree with Ichinose who asked.

"Does that mean Ichinose-san does nothing for Class D, or even recognition?"

"Yes. We won't. We'll take care of the 10 events that will be published next week."

He fights alone in his own class.

He's probably only facing the truth without being fooled by the information. It's a solid form.

"Well, what a class B is beautiful"

The enthusiasm I said about drowning continues beyond.

"Normally you don't do anything to beat the previous class? If it's effective for both recognition and silent threats, it's worth doing. You don't do anything to the opponent and believe only in their own powers. He can't be honest with us."

Class C doesn't do anything to Class A on the surface either, but there are quite a few areas that are struggling to gather information with that hand.

"Well, I guess. Could we not be so good at that?

That's how I said, Ichinose smiled a little.

"I knew what I meant anyway. If we talk freely about Shibata, I would be drawn to the needs of a D-class strategy."

The reason Ichinose invited us to lunch is Keisei, who understood.

It will help if the damage is known to be caused by the harassment mechanism.

If so, Class B will be forced to deal with that now. In that case, I would like to continue to take a determined attitude and appeal for the lack of meaning of the Class D operation.

"So I want you not to spread as much as possible"

p. 101

"There's no merit in saying that, either, and I don't want to make an enemy of the B-class."

Following the enthusiasm, Haruka and Airi also turned their heads vertically without hesitation.

"Everyone is very grateful"

Ichinose thanks the students in class C. Between them, I only see once.

At that moment, Ichino touched some of his hair.

And, riding in the wind, a slight citrus aroma tickles my nasal cavity.

Ichinose who looks out immediately and looks at the set again. After all, Ichinose is a little strange today.

Anyway, that's not what I'm pointing to now.

Part 2

After finishing lunch and separating from Ichinose and others, Haruka drips.

"I guess Ichinose-san is pretty. That last smile is missing something. Don't you think so?

"I, apart from ......"

"Ah, Yukimo remembered it and turned red."

""No"

"Don't deny it by force. Well, I think Ichinose-san is cute, so she's a good girl."

I shook my head tightly vertically, just like Airi.

"Miyachi and Ayanokouji-kun, do you all have the same opinion?"

Akito and I dislike being the target of enlightenment, mocking and deceived.

"I wish it hadn't been my fault, but ... Ichinose-san has always worn perfume."

p. 102

"Oh, I was worried about that too. I was wearing a citrus perfume, wasn't I?

"Yes, I could have been surprised at all. I wondered if anything had changed in my mind."

"Hey, now, what do you think of the three people?"

You can't say it if you ask a guy about it.

"Did you put on perfume? Even if you wear it, was it today?"

When Keisei returned properly, Haruka added an unpleasant sigh to the bone.

"Men really ... they don't notice a small change. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

"... That's more than that. Not only is it ours, but it's also very difficult to see the other side."

If it's a shame that he scolds more than this, the clear person changes the subject.

"Even in Class D, it will not be possible to pretend to win in the upper class. Maybe Class D bullying can increase from now on."

Take the word of the philosopher so that revelation may also escape. The prediction is probably true.

It seems to be about 3 people now, but it's no wonder there are more victims.

"What about Ryuuen, I guess he won't have the victory"

"Say it, it feels like you're imitating Ryuuen-kun"

Certainly, the way to exert pressure is a strategy that Ryuuen would probably do.

"But it doesn't make sense. It's not enough to break the strength of class B. I thought I'd talk today, maybe the opponent was good at class A. I'm sorry, I just have to fight class B."

"Hmm, why do you think so?"

"The solidity of their cohesion and their attitude of seriously believing in themselves without overconfidentness is probably the part where no class can win. All disciplines will produce stable results. I don't feel like winning."

p. 103

Class B ends all above the level. Looks like Keisei was afraid of it.

"But even if everything is above the level, it won't make sense if you lose."

Even if you play 80 points or 90 points in the 7 games, if you get 100 points, you lose.

"We can win even if we don't know what kind of things will be chosen on the seventh day. Class C and Class D can have a special event that they can win specifically, but at the same time it will be disastrous and have disappointing results"

"Sorry ... maybe it is."

Airi, who was convinced by Keisei's explanation, said twice more.

"Hey hey a little"

Around the corner from the hallway, take the arm of the lighting that walks at the top and i stop for a call.

"Que -- "

I hold the mouth that I tried to hear with my hand and point to the front.

Beyond that were Ike and Shinohara. I'm just walking a little before us.

"Hmm, Shinohara"

"What"

"That ... eh"

"What's the matter?"

Previous conversations are small, but they can be reached as we are calm.

"... Sunday... Hello, are you free?"

"Sunday? I haven't put in a separate schedule for now ... But what?

"What do you say, it's just going to be a little fun. I wonder if you're going to go."

p. 104

You hear such an exchange of two people, little one, but it sounds. Haruka and Airi look at each other's fun, while Keisei and Akito show bipolar reactions as if they were in love with each other.

"Sunday is White Day. You mean, Shinohara-san, did you give Ike chocolate?"

"It was by commitment"

Shinohara, who was originally suspicious at Ike's invitation, seems to have begun to understand the situation gradually.

"No, I see, it's because you gave me a chocolate.... Thank you, I will.

"Even though I'm in law, obediently, you mean, do you have money?"

"I've saved a little ... Well, I really don't like it."

"... You said something disgusting.

"Oh, then ..."

"Aren't you wrong? It's a special test soon, and it's the last time you can take a break. It's not a bad thing if you say it."

Something about sharing a room this morning is remembered.

Where, I don't know, it may be that small species have started to sprout.

"I'm leaving"

"Hmm, wait, it's a good place now."

"Don't get in someone's head in the romance"

When rubbing with Haruka, Akito takes a path in the opposite direction.

"It's okay to ask a little more. What a fresh and exciting feeling"

"I'm not going to do it"

"Because this is an arrogant boy ... hey, Airi?"

"Well, yes. I could have been a little excited ... But it would be embarrassing to see."

"I'm sorry, but that's bad if I see them."

If we were here, we'd be disturbing a beautiful outbreak.

p. 105

Part 3

The stage of bringing each special event and collecting them as continuous information.

After-school meetings declined day by day, but instead, large-scale Class C group chats became more active. Koenji and Hirata have not yet participated, but have moved to a form that allows discussion regardless of the time zone.

As a result, the exchange of views began to take place actively, as it would fit into Class C, regardless of the value to speak. And, to the extent that it is information from the outside as to look.

I'll leave everything to Horikita and wait for it to be completed.

The role of the strategy and the command tower should be considered after that.

Still, there are some awkward events left. It is the existence of Koenji and Hirata.

Especially Hirata is a part that cannot be solved with Horikita.

Two people who have not participated in the group chat and have not moved on to the special exam.

Although the ancient Koenji is as usual, Hirata's absence hurts.

While Hirata's life changed completely, it was like someone else's condition.

Poor expression, but swelling. Dandelion over the eyes. Although important, no one can touch it, and you can only pray that the inflammation will decrease. It is extremely solitary, as it can be used as a card that can participate in any event as an all-powerful entity.

And there are other concerns.

".........Hirata-kun!"

Mii-chan chases Hirata, who will arrive on the return route.

How many times do they go?

p. 106

In addition, while giving up with one person, Mii-chan calls Hirata without hesitation.

Is it a love work that can be realized? No... I wonder if he's in love.

He may be disgusted by being persistent, there must be such fear.

But why are you repeatedly calling Hirata?

"I can't really see Hirata-kun..."

The girls left in the classroom, Kei talks about such things in the group.

"Yes, Karuizawa-san, can you leave him alone?"

"I don't think what I said is any good. You may be hated."

Hirata's strong rejection was new to his memory the other day when Kei spoke.

"That's right. Hirata-kun, being agitated by Karuizawa-san, Yamauchi-kun who is gone ...

Side by side these girls talk, I leave the classroom.

However, today's purpose is not Hirata. Looking for another anxiety factor.

It's for another student who left the classroom after Mii-chan.

"Hey, you got any time?"

When I spoke to the girl, she turned around for a while.

"What is it, Ayanokouji-kun?"

During this special examination, I called Kushida, who had not made a statement.

It doesn't help classmates, nor does it bother them.

I pass it as one of the quiet class parts.

If it is common Kushida, it is a sub-leader position that supports the class.

But this is not seen at all. There are probably two reasons.

One is the last vote in class, and his standing position has trembled.

Although it was used in Yamauchi, the fact that I participated in the exit of the school came to light.




p. 108

Many students felt there was room for sympathy, which is a minor problem for Kushida.

The case of being hurt by the apparent pride that he is a good person.

The other is that Horikita acts as a leader.

If you look at Kushida, you should be able to see it as your favorite.

Kushida hates Horikita from the beginning for knowing the events of her past.

On top of that, Horikita received a strong rebuke for class voting.

Ammunition was attempted to create an unfair retreat for whatever reason.

Pride would have been hurt before it was mortal.

"I see, so you're not going to support her this time."

Knowing that, I dared throw history away.

We want to know how Kushida intends to advance this special test.

Even if you look from a distance, you can't see the true spirit of the mask you usually smile on.

Sleep under the mask, I have to see the real face uncovered.

"Will we be able to talk as we walk?"

"It's OK"

Kushida, who doesn't want to listen to the conversation poorly, comes out with such a message.

"Do you have any plans for today?"

"Yes, I'm planning on meeting with some girls in class B. Do you think having fun is bad at such a difficult time?"

"No, you need to take a break. I think everybody understands that."

It's silly to spend 24 hours thinking only about the test.

Squeeze to squeeze. Loosen on loosening.

"So you understand, the reason why I'm not doing anything right now? I was thinking it was okay to expel you and I helped Yamauchi.

p. 109

with that. What face do you think I should do, what act do you think it can do for the command tower, after everything came to light?"

Daringly, Kushida didn't touch Horikita, her favorite.

"You don't seem to accept that, do you? I can see it in your face..."

"Nice place to stay"

"I'll say it now, it's not that I don't want to help Horikita-san because she's the leader now, okay?"

"Is that true?"

"Seriously, it's true"

Yes, I see it two and three times. But that's a lie.

"Ah, I doubt it"

I doubt it even if you don't have that face, Kushida has decided to think so.

So I decided I'd hesitate.

"What do I see now, for Ayanokouji-kun, let me be honest?"

"Yes ..."

He looks like a classmate who shows a nice smile.

But.

I imagine the true nature of Kushida hidden under the mask.

"That fucking woman, I'll absolutely kill you! Shame in front of all my classmates, I definitely won't forgive you! Kill! Kill! Kill kill! Absolutely kill!"

Make a blue streak and send a humble message against Horikita.

You hear a series of unbearable terms.

"...... ..."

I couldn't express my voice in an image that I imagined like this.

"Are you thinking of something rude right now?"

"No ... absolutely"

p. 110

It was too detailed to imagine, so I was a little stuck in words.

I shook it from my head and decided to cut the main subject.

"If you can't cooperate, I'll hate the situation to the fullest."

"Instead, I want class information ...? "

Kushida understands well what this special test means.

"Correct Answer"



p. 112

"If it is Ayanokouji-kun now, are there people who can trust you in class?

Kushida has a smile that never changes, but does not assume two answers.

Despite the contract, Kushida's alert has been rekindled again.

Maybe I'm the enemy or the ally, I'm getting the last turning point.

"They're all not as good as Kushida"

"I'm glad to tell you that. I've got so many things."

"Several""

"I wonder what you mean Ayanokouji-kun"

It is a great inconvenience for Kushida that one's position has been withdrawn before.

Distortion of the image of the character of Kushida Kikyo that has been built for a year.

There is no doubt that the support of the companions is still high, but there will still be things trapped behind the teeth. It's hard to gain credibility, but it's a typical pattern where it's just an instant to lose.

"And then let me ask you questions. How can you help?

"I have no choice but to give up this time. I think I'm going to be quiet until I can spend my time in class with confidence.

In other words, we don't cooperate, but we don't bother either.

However, it was also about producing the minimum result if it became an event.

"Will you be all right without Horikita and without me?"

"Yes, I can receive it. For me, it has been recognized for some time that this school was much more comfortable than I thought."

For a while, they'll wear fake masks and continue to play.

It's probably Kushida's technique is to present a good material for this.

p. 113

It hurts me that I can't get help from Kushida here, but it seems better to drink it directly.

"It's okay. "I'm sorry, I wasn't saying that."

"Yes. I'm glad I asked for it."

I decided to break up with Kushida when I got to the front door.

Kushida went to Keyaki mall without ever stopping.

Part 4

The weekend is over and White Day is approaching on Sunday, March 14.

Honestly, I was grateful to be here on Sunday.

Some gifts back prepared on the desk.

If this was one day a week, I would have struggled without knowing when to turn it in.

In the morning, do I pass before school or after school?

It's a lot of things to think about, like the order of delivery and what to do with the other classes.

Above all, it is not good as an image to see the situation.

I know it's better to come back without worrying about the eyes around you, but it's not very good.

But if it's a day off, you can simply post it to a post.

When I left my room early in the morning, I headed to the bedroom entrance to avoid a game.

"Hmm ..."

Each will be published in the student's post who gave me the Valentine's Chocolate for me.

After I put all the chocolate in, I met Ichinose when I thought I'd go back to the room.

Ichinose's reaction as if he had seen something he could not see.

p. 114

"Oh, good morning, Ayanokouji-kun"

"Oh ... oh, good morning"

Although it was still 7 o'clock, I came across a very rare encounter.

However, Ichinose didn't try to match me today.

"I woke up for a moment and came back from a walk"

Ichinose says as he looks at a slightly misplaced position as if he were looking at this.

I was probably going to check the mail and go back to the room.

"Oh yes, please"

"I give way to see the post. When I was told and Ichinose confirmed the inside of the post ... of course I got a refund.

"I think I understand if you look at it, but for now, that's a comeback."

Ichinose, who pulled the box off the pole, didn't move as if he had solidified for a while.

"Thank you, that wasn't necessary ..."

Ichinose who responds as if he remembers the word.

"No, I don't think so"

"... Thank you. I am sorry. I'm nervous because I'm not used to this."

I agree with that. I'm surprised it was a time when I didn't want to meet anyone.

It's a little awkward, so let's change the subject.

"... If you say so, what happened to Shibata on Thursday, what happened next?"

"Oh, that, do you care about that?"

"Hey"

The usual feeling comes back if Ichinose has become easier to talk because the subject has changed.

"I asked them all shortly after that, only three people received a report from Shibata-kun. But ---."

p. 115

"But?"

"On Friday, it seems that the number of victims has increased rapidly. Another 3 boys and 3 girls. The report was published yesterday when it was being published and expressed in the same way."

In other words, a total of nine people were affected by this. However, in the three days after the trial was announced, the number was limited to three, but did it suddenly increase by six on Friday?

"Do you know who the students were after?"

Ichinose pronounces the name of each student.

"I know Ishizaki-kun, Komiya-kun, Yamada-kun, Kondo-kun, Ibuki-san and Kinoshita-san in the rank I understand."

6 people in total?

They're students who can dye their hands to something dirty.

If your face is broken up to this point, it doesn't seem to mean you're hiding.

"I wonder if these six people are going to move on after the hit."

Many of the D classes are ordinary students, so it would be natural to think so.

"I intend to listen in detail again from the beginning of the week"

"What are you going to do if the damage increases as you imagined?"

There is a possibility that it will eventually spread to Ichinose and Kanzaki.

"No. There's nothing I can do. I'm not even violent. I agree to be patient until the actual damage occurs. I intend to do my best in mental care."

If there is any real damage, we will be prepared to act immediately.

"Good?"

Class D shows strange movements.

Are you really going to target every student in class B?

p. 116

If there are only six members, there's not much pressure.

Even if you repeat this kind of thing, it's harassing you.

Ishizaki, who just thought about the operation, hasn't reached that point.

Or is it good if some damage is done mentally?

"I made a mistake?"

Ichinose's been looking a little anxious if he passed on what he was thinking.

"No ... I think it's okay now. When I appealed to school, I can't afford to be penalized for the D's class." "

"Yes, that's right."

But you'll have to make sure that the purpose of Class D is in line with what you've imagined. However, Ichinose doesn't seem to move, so it's unnecessary?

If you're doing it exclusively in defense, it's good to say something from here.

"Have all 10 events been decided?

"Yes. We understood each other madly at an early stage. The rest of Class D was not good at the weak event, I made a final decision yesterday. What about you, Ayanokouji-kun? ".

"I haven't touched anything this time. I leave all the content of the 10 events to Horikita"

"But what about how is the commander involved?"

"He also included me."

Ichinose is surprised to think that I am not a proper command tower.

"It's Horikita-san's high credibility, isn't it? Or ... what kind of discipline or rule could you deal with properly?

"I'm 100% older. I don't have good classmates like Ichinose, so I'm not sure I'm honest. I've become a commander and I'm a pillar to prevent retirement."

"But why did you want to play against Class A?"

p. 117

"It's horrific idea, "It's also Horikita's idea. You may have seen a victory at that time."

Well, Ichinose's not chasing anymore.

The conversation is over, so two people are waiting for the elevator.

"Oh ... I offended you ...

When I remembered something, Ichinose, who was by my side, turns his index finger around his hair.

"Are you upset?"

"No, no, don't worry about anything"

The elevator I arrived in will reach the fourth floor where I have my room.

"That's it again"

When I got out of the elevator and looked back, I looked at Ichinose that Ichinose was unprepared.

"Watata! Well, I'll see you again!"

Suddenly, I press the close button. The elevator door was locked, so I couldn't see her anytime soon. The ending was a strange way of farewell, but in any case it was a good day for White Day, so let's say it's good.

"Doesn't smell about citrus today."

It's early on the morning of the day off, so why didn't you come out with perfume on purpose?

Part 5

Monday morning, today is the day the tenth line of opponents will be announced.

What kind of events and rules, and the commander's involvement in Class A?

By chance on the way to school, I meet Horikita Major and Tachibana.

p. 118

No sign of waiting for me. However, it simply happened that the time of the accident overlapped.

Tachibana dropped a step without saying anything.

Don't disturb the conversation between the two people who will start?

That area is a quick and polite response as we continue to support Horikita's brother on the student council.

"Is the special test ok?"

Horikita's brother. Even if you don't explain it in depth, you'll know the situation here.

"It's a line here. Is it likely that you can graduate in class A?"

"Oh, it will depend on the outcome of next week."

Even if he was absolutely safe or uncomfortable, I couldn't read his face.

"Your sister is fighting here. Looks like the older brother was more effective than I thought."

"I see"

Horikita is now alive, as if she touched the magic water.

When Hirata was away, I took the initiative to organize the class.

Even now, for all ten events, we will continue to formulate a strategy to win every day.

"Normally third graders of this time haven't taken a long break yet"

"Yes, I'm surprised to be informed about this point after admission. For most high schools, it's time for us to be on vacation, but of course we're fine to go to school and find a job. It's stable where you don't know."

There seems to be a lot of overlap between special exams being done.

"But it hasn't been decided yet where he'll graduate in Class A, but will you go to college or look for a job?"

"I get it"

p. 119

That's why Horikita didn't try to respond deeply.

Does that mean you can't tell current students they're staying?

It's also been three years since you know if you're a living Class A.

"If you have anything left to hear, ask. I'll try to answer you."

"It seems that the range that can be taught is narrow"

Ironically, Horikita's brother laughed with a slight smile.

"Maybe. Think of it as a former ppresident."

The problem with the whole school may be that you can't speak badly.

"It's a good opportunity. I've always been wondering about you."

In this casual accident, I decided to ask Horikita's brother a question.

"Horikita ... about your sister. I think he's an excellent person. Neither his academic ability nor physical ability is low. It may not be true if it was said to be first, but it had the ability to get the second and third position from the time of admission.

Then, the feeling of discomfort feels more than anything.

"I didn't see the age difference with my sister in the first place, that is, two years of growth. In this school's system, you shouldn't know at first glance how much your sister didn't grow up." "

Because he couldn't meet Horikita in second and third grade once.

Even if you knew your sister's performance at the time of admission, it shouldn't be enough to cause dissatisfaction.

At the time, Horikita's younger sister looking outside the bedroom was out of calm.

"Oh, yes. If you've seen the situation at the time, it's no wonder you're wondering."

I just remembered that was when I first contacted Horikita.

"I'm not disappointed with the bell noise on the surface. It's a growing heart."

p. 120

"Growth of the heart?"

"Originally, the current bell noise and the noise of the old bell are very different. It was a boy who showed the most smiles."

Do you show a good smile?

...... No, I can't imagine myself at all honestly.

"Does that mean you're playing great characters under your influence?"

"He was trying to imitate me forever. Suzune's bad habit is that she started imitating me when I was trained in elementary school. But if you think about it now, it's my mistake because I left. I tried to improve it by treating it coldly for many years, but that fact had an opposite effect."

As a result, Horikita continues to follow in the shadow of her brother and is now her character.

"Aren't you totally perfect? Did you mean you couldn't communicate with your sister?"

"There is no perfect person. Is it different?"

"Yes"

I won't deny that point.

"The point is that they met again at school, does that mean you talked to her?"

It wasn't much, but he didn't seem to talk much.

"I knew it when I found her again before I spoke. "Suzune hasn't changed a thing in two years."

Have you seen anything that only your brother knows? Horikita's older brother continues.

"He's been trying to respond faithfully to what I said. Study, exercise, don't do it, don't do this. She's still good. He likes my favorite food, the drink, my favorite color and the sense of clothes. It has shown a strong dependence on me everywhere."

You don't feel a little afraid when you come to it any longer.

However, if you look at Horikita's attitude from the moment of admission, there's something you can also win.

p. 121

"Do you meet your sister again at this school and you feel like you're still addicted?"

If it's not Esper, there's very little material to see a two-year gap.

"Yes. Anyone who knows the small bells will understand if you look at it."

Horikita's brother gets stuck saying.

"... No, I'll put it on, too. For me, I want to use it as an absolute judgment to see if the sound of the bell has really changed."

"Still, it means my sister hasn't changed."

Seat with the head of Brother Horikita. Horikita has made much more progress than before, but still imitates her brother.

"I'm trying to release the curse of the past with force, but it's only on its way."

Will I be able to meet your brother's criteria and criteria before graduating?

There are no days until the graduation ceremony.

"But yes-"

Horikita's older brother stops once and looks at me.

I was also absorbed by that strong pupil for some reason and stopped my leg.

"If I could stop Suzune, following my illusion, break his dependence and be honest with himself ---"

A single spring wind blows.

"It will be beyond me, and it will be something you can't ignore."

He's not just an idiot, not just an idiot father.

I also admire Horikita's high potential.

Why. Maybe it's because Horikita's brother said something like that.

I thought I'd be in my mind. What I need to do at this school.

No, I want to. I felt like I could see him.

"To the end, but it was a story that changed."

p. 122

"Change?"

I was saying that.

"No, a slightly different expression"

I'm right.

"I'm going to change the guy. Not being as serious as I've done, I'm serious."

"... Change. I was hoping you'd say that."

Having the opportunity to meet and talk to Brother Horikita seems to be involved in my life.

It will be a long time before we know if the reading is correct or not.

"Hey. Can I ask one more question before I graduate? This is also a completely personal question."

I don't know if there's an opportunity to talk this way in the future.

"What?"

"Aren't you dating Tachibana who's behind you?"

I realized it was a stupid question, but I asked.

Even after graduating from the student council, they often act together.

"No, there's no such thing."

Horikita's older brother who easily denies. It's unlikely he's lying to hide you.

However, Tachibana's face confirmed by the side view seems somewhat complicated.

There is no doubt that Tachibana is sending some kind of favor to Horikita's older brother.

"Because we've been thinking only about school for the last three years, both good and bad"

"I see"

"But that's something that comes out of your mouth. Was he a normal high school student?

You may be influenced by what you talk to Hoshinomiya-sensei.

p. 123

"I'm a high school student who usually looks better"

"Yes, that was correct. Did she call you about that ordinary high school student?"

Although it was a subject I shook from here, I'd be on it.

"So far. I'd like to recruit if there's a partner."

"If you can be entrusted with the bell tone, it seems that you can see such a vision and it doesn't look at all."

"It's natural"

There's no reason.

"Oh, that's not good. That's why it's a flag."

Tachibana, who had been watching until now, burst into history.

"Flag?"

When Horikita's older brother listens to her, Tachibana roars and explains:

"Oh, well, you say a law that works the other way around? ... Because it's often good for two people who thought they'd never be associated will get together."

Neither I nor Horikita major understood Tachibana's explanation, and we looked us in the face.

"No, no matter what."

Tachibana said that to round the story, so I didn't think it would be broadcast.

Part 6

In the classroom, the morning classroom is over.

At the same time, the 10 events selected by the opponent, Class A, were announced.

Based on the materials left in the classroom, it is read by Horikita's hand.

p. 124

Here's how to organize them in order of the number needed for the event.

- "Chess" One person, time required one hour (rest)

Follow the regular rules of a chess. But the time does not increase even after 41 shifts.

Command tower we can give instructions for up to 30 minutes using the arbitrary time

- "Mental Arithmetic Flash" 2 people required, time limit 30 minutes

Winning a class of students who competed for accuracy and speed using rules and syllabic ancestry

Command Tower: You can change the answer for only one question

- "Go" 3 people required, time dedicated 1 hour (rest)

Rules: Perform one to about three stations simultaneously. Follow the usual rules of going;

It doesn't matter if you give him a hand at any time.

- "Contemporary Sentence Test" 4 people required, time limit 50 minutes

Rule Solve problems in the learning range in 1 year and compete in total points

Command tower: Only one question can be answered instead

- "Social Test" 5 people required, time limit 50 minutes

Rule: Solve the collection of problems in the history of geography and the learning range of citizens in a year and we compete in total points

Command tower: Only one question can be answered instead

- "Volleyball": 6 people required, Limit time 10 advance points set 3

According to the normal rules of volleyball.

Command Tower ? Replace 3 members at any time

p. 125

- "Mathematical test" 7 people required, time limit 50 minutes.

Rule: Solve problems in the learning range in 1 year and compete in total points

Command tower: Only one question can be answered instead

- "English Test" 8 people required, time limit 50 minutes

Rule: Solve problems in the learning range in 1 year and compete in total points

Command tower: Only one question can be answered instead

"Big Jump Rope" 20 people required, time limit 30 minutes

Rule ? In two challenges, the class wins with more jumps.

Command Tower: You can change the order in which opponents are aligned at any time.

- "Dodgeball" 18 people required, 10 minute time limit with 2 series

Follow the regular Dodgeball rules. Sudden death in case of 1 tie.

Command Tower can return a player to the court at any time

"I think I've also played sports. I thought I'd be consolidating everything from written exams and using my head. However, there is also the possibility of counterfeiting."

Horikita's first impression. In the same way, it will make a Keisei impression.

"Chess and Go are important events, but not many students have touched it, and it seems that they have taken a difficult place. Sport is just a strong event that requires collaboration."

In this class, there are few students who do not know the name of chess or Go, but not many have played it or played it.

p. 126

"The difference is that the participation of the Command Tower, many of which are minimized, is particularly important in the main academic disciplines, even if participation does not affect the outcome."

"It's just that I trust my abilities. There are four academic tests in Class A that is particularly trusting, and there are many people who need it. It's quite difficult ...'

Each time in the test, Class A always ranks first in the general force.

The reason for the increase in the number of participants in any of the tests would be proof of their confidence.

You will be forced to compete in a pure class, with a minimum of what the command tower can do.

It is also a correct decision not to complete only the written exam.

If you throw seven or eight, you can completely change your mind to study only.

By making the theme this throws, it is to avoid being taken the method of the game.

"In volleyball it has 9 people and 9 replacements. Dodgeball is 18 people. The long-rope jump is up to 20 people. Anyone can enter the event. If so, it will be easy to enter the second round."

As long as I don't know which of the 10 guys will be adopted that day, I won't lose them all.

In addition, since many sports require a large number of people, it takes a lot of time and effort to assign and practice. If you practice boldly renting a gym, a class will smell it too. In other words, you have to hide and practice in secret.

However, it is unclear whether it will be adopted as a formal event. Even if we practice for a long time, if we play it, the whole problem is water bubbles. It means he'll end up in a job. However, if you decide that the other's event is not false and non-practical, then the difference in the amount of practice will clearly appear. First of all, there is no victory.

p. 127

It's important for class A students to see how they move last week, but if you're practicing early in the morning or late at night, it's not easy to find. There will also be a small amount of practice.

I can't get my hands on the 10 events, no matter which one is adopted.

Naturally, there were no events I'd like to do with this.

"Are there people who have experienced chess or enter into this?"

Horikita looking for a raised hand. Only Miyamoto raises his hand.

"I've hit my family a little bit, but I'm not strong enough to know the rules."

There seems to be no doubt that the second line is a hopeless starting line.

I also raise my hand late.

"I remember chess only once. It's just an unknown about the Go, I've never touched it."

Even though it was a command tower, I appealed that it could be directed to the teaching side.

"Even if there is an experienced person, it will save you, but it is another test," he said. "We can't delete the ten events shown here".

How long can you master chess and go in less than a week? If luck is not uniform, only two of the selected events will be adopted, and five of these will be selected.

There is one part that can only rely on the potential of the students originally possessed.

But why-

"What's the matter, Ayanokouji-kun"

Horikita looks me in the face in a strange way.

"... No, nothing"

Chess with a lot of participation. It is almost possible that the battle between the command towers is also possible.

p. 128

I felt like I was in such a strong feeling that he wanted to fight me at this event.

"Oh, Horikita. Should we also get into the information game seriously from here?

Did I feel nervous? Keisei cut it like that.

"Of the 10 events, what does Class A choose as a ... formal event?

"Oh, honestly, it's pretty hard to cover these 10 events from now on. If you don't get information, your earnings will be much thinner."

"But there's no way class A can easily give information."

Such words also fly from children, but that would be something everyone knows.

"I'll do it"

"I know your feelings, but I can't make a decision right away. First, let me know how many experienced people there are at each event."

The information war was postponed and Horikita seemed to start by capturing the 10 events.

Part 7

"Horikita, can you afford a little time?"

During the holidays, Keisei calls Horikita.

"Are you all right? What?"

"Here for a moment ... about the special exam"

He wants you to walk out of the hall in silence because you want to talk in secret.

I intended to say goodbye, but Horikita changed her line of sight.

"Ayanokouji-kun can also be present?"

"Agrees ..."

He didn't seem very welcome, but Keisei agreed.

p. 129

Since it's not a descent, I'll follow these two people.

"What did I say, what did you think?

"Information War?"

"Oh"

"It's about that... but I don't think it's easy to get class A information."

"But it's very bad not to do anything. Time should be used effectively."

Keisei apparently wants to take steps to gather information as quickly as possible.

I understand well that you want to do a better effort to win.

"Can I fix it for Class A students and solve it?"

"Yes. I also suspect if the five students in general know the five formals."

Sakayanagi, he may be talking to you alone nearby.

It wouldn't be strange if I had a complete handling of the information.

"Even if we only know 5 events, if you were a Sakayanagi classmate, can't you get a certain level of conjecture? What do you think Kiyotaka"

"Oh, I'd understand if I were a classmate.

Since I've lived together for a year, I'm no good at knowing what I'm good at.

The reasoning will be made that this will be chosen by oneself.

"There, yes. I came up with a way to get information from class A."

"What is so?"

"I'll bring Katsuragi into our Class of C."

I confirmed that there were no people in the area and I said quietly.

Katsuragi. He is a leader who had once confronted Sakayanagi in Class A.

p. 130

"Don't you think Totsuka who had been with Katsuragi had been abandoned by Sakayanagi? I've had several days of passage in the last few days, but Katsuragi was distinctly different from the previous one. "

There's no doubt they're jealous of Sakayanagi. I remember the day Katsuragi and Ryuuen met and talked about the day Yahiko's retirement was decided.

"Do you think he's betraying the class just to make Sakayanagi-san vibrate?"

"Of course, you'll need trading material for that."

In that sense too, Keisei seems to have an idea.

"If we bring victory to Class C, we will get 130 points with 4 wins and 3 losses. If we think about the whole class, it is estimated that more than 6 million private points will be earned in a year. It wouldn't be impossible to save about 20 million points."

If you hear that, you'll see what you mean.

"If we get to Class A, we'll give Katsuragi the right to move to class. What if that's the condition? And with this, we'll be friends with Katsuragi."

"If you're a regular student, you're not going to take it first," he said.

"But I can't say that if you were in Katsuragi's position where they're going to put him now""

"Yes, now there is no place for Katsuragi, but if he is betrayed, it will be Katsuragi who will be fired next time. There's not enough time for us to save $20 million for the boss. Assuming the class point rises smoothly, and even if the whole class cooperates fully, it will take at least half a year."

It is best to look at the year realistically in the sense that you can save without difficulty.

And while it's for earning class points, the price of 20 million points isn't cheap.

"What do you think, Horikita"

"... Yes. It's very important to get the information as Yukimura-kun says."

"If -------"

p. 131

"But I can't agree with Yukimura-kun's proposal, although it's not very good."

"Why, why?"

"I think I'm sure Katsuragi-kun is being driven. But that doesn't mean he's going to betray his class under the current conditions. Our trading material is by no means strong."

The story is different if you can prepare with quick money, but it's suspicious if you have more than a year ahead.

"But if you don't move, you won't get any information."

"I don't think I can get information when I move."

"Don't try to say what you know."

Although it was a revelation that he could eat away, Horikita did not shake his neck vertically.

"It's not that negative about combat information, but don't do that. If you have a new idea, come and consult"

Having said that, Horikita met and returned to the classroom.

"Damn!"

He reluctantly kicks the wall as frustrating.

"... Hey Kiyotaka, can you help me?

"The persuasion of Horikita?"

"No ... we are alone in persuading Katsuragi"

He also said something quite ambitious.

"I'm not saying Horikita would give up, but I think I feel like I can't be in Class A somewhere in my heart. If not, we should try without any benefit. Not that Class C is a disadvantage even if you contact Katsuragi."

Even if I give a negative opinion like this, it might not stop.

If so, it is possible to understand the situation in several ways if you are still accompanied.

"How do I get in touch with Katsuragi?"

"It--------- would be a little. I still have time until the test."

p. 132

"Okay, if you decide, tell me"

I just told him not to act alone and for the moment I decided to cooperate with Keisei.

Part 8

"Hey. Would you like to talk a little bit now?"

It's after 6 pm before dinner. I was listening to Horikita's words as I watched the fire that heats the pot. The hot water simmers and begins to boil.

"During the preparation of a meal, I wondered"

"No, don't worry."

I just boiled the water and didn't do anything special.

"What are you talking about?

If this is an offer of cooperation to decide the event, we will ask you in return.

"Because I'm relieved, I won't depend on you to decide the event. I promise."

This speculation is seen through Horikita.

"Only, yes. If you're good, can we meet and talk directly? The conversation will be over in about an hour."

Is it hard to talk on the phone or something you want to look at directly?

If it's an hour, that's all. There's nothing to deny the direct encounter.

"It's okay. Will you come here?

"But it's okay, but nowadays you're in the mood for something. Even in my room?"

It seems he warned that unexpected visitors might arrive.

Horikita's room has been visited previously. There's no reason to turn it down.

I put out the fire, grabbed my cell phone and left my room with my feet. Then I go into the elevator and go to Horikita's room. The sun is already

p. 133

has put on, but because it is still early, there are no special wonders if boys walk the upper floors, which are girls' areas.

Part 9

When I played, I heard the sound of unlocking the key soon.

I thought I'd be welcome with my usual face, but I opened the curtain in a surprising way.

"Welcome"

As I thought, I was welcomed from the entrance to Horikita, who is not in a bad mood.

On the contrary, I feel anxiety in one of the unexpected parts.

There was a slight smell of miso in the room.

"You were making my dinner. Get in."

I don't think I have to call anything at the time ...

Since I was urged to look inside the room when I asked to enter, I'd like to disturb you.

It could have been a resistance to the late call.

I'll keep that in mind. As I enter the room, I feel strange things.

It was because a meal for two people was being prepared for some reason on a small table.

Am I going to have dinner with someone else after i'm done with the argument?

"Hmm ..."

If you try to confirm, you'll be blocked with words.

"Don't hesitate to sit there"

There's none... a fence is clearly placed in that place.

Instinct says so. This is a trap to force me to do something.

"So, let's talk?"

p. 134

I refrain from sitting down and try to start talking.

"Am I going to talk to you? I wonder if you can sit back and wait."

"No ... I feel like I want to stand."

"What a feeling. That you can't rest when you're standing. Sit down."

As Horikita's tone became more and more severe, I decided to sit down.

The attitude that mixes the usual bullying, brute force and irrationality is surprisingly long after all.

I forgot because I was starting to distance myself from me and start walking away from Horikita.

First of all, I sit and wait gently.

However, the place where I saw the package is still on its way. Looks like time has passed by the time it's over.

"Well, you only need an hour?"

"Yes, the story itself doesn't take an hour"

Of course, Horikita's words heard on the back, I remember the capture.

Certainly, it was said that the conversation ends in an hour, even with the phone.

In other words, time other than talking is not included.

"Do you want to include another time?"

"Good ... an hour and a half or two hours"

After all that, is that it?

"It's time, I'm going to have dinner and eat."

Nobody wants that. I feel insulted by the game of his unreasonable word.

However, it's also tempting to come home saying they won't eat again if they're shown the dishes they're already being prepared. I was invited to good conditions.

It's on the back, but it's not bad for Horikita, who's cooking and moving.

p. 135

Rather, it seemed to be so, considering that she was a high school freshman.

"My parents used to work together, so I was often in charge of dinner."

I see Horikita roars like she knows my ideas.

"Is it annoying, don't you think?"

Cooking is fun to produce, but there are many problems.

"After I found out that my brother went to this school, I increased my chances of cooking him."

"Did you expect to go to this school and live alone?"

"Correct"

Ton, I finish cutting something with the kitchen knife, and now you're going to finish the miso soup in the pot.

But if it's not a special test, what are you going to talk about?

Only that point has not yet been seen.

Part 10

5 minutes to wait longer.

Horikita's kitchen is complete and everything is on the table. The food in sight is stronger than I think. Occasionally, there is a menu to color the dinner table that you see on tv. And Horikita sits before her eyes.

If Sudo sees this scene, he can be dragged ferociously.

If I say it was a misunderstanding, nothing will happen.

Rather, I want to believe that Sudo has already done this kind of behavior.

No, even if that's the case, it's probably the subject of jealousy.

"To eat"

So I asked him, I'll pick up my bag. Two people who look face-to-face while eating.

p. 136

I feel a strong deja vu at the scene.

When I was new to school, I remembered that I used my hand in the school cafeteria to visit Horikita.

"Doubts? I'm going to get there."

"It's a fact that I find horrible."

"If you start questioning the goodness of people, you have evidence of problems like human beings."

"Is that what they say?"

"Today is special"

"..."

If it was done carefully, it would be rude not to lay your hand on it.

However, it is the sex that calls people into question. Different. The experience so far that has only told us. But it's completely surrounded by 360 degrees.

When we entered Horikita's room carelessly, we had never won or lost.

I decided to take my hand out of the soup for now.

The smell of miso tickles my nasal cavity. They are the ingredients that seem to be kind to the body that makes Daikon4 as an ingredient mainly.

"I like miso barley"

It is characterized by the intensity of the sweetness that spreads in the mouth after taking a bite.

"I get it right. It's the miso that's preferred in Kyushu5, but I wonder if it fits my mouth."

"You're a good cook"

I have honestly praised her, but Horikita shows nothing particularly pleasant.

4 Daikon: or Japanese radish, is a plant whose cultivation is intended for root consumption.

5 Kyushu is the third largest island in Japan, located in the south of the archipelago. It is considered the cradle of Japanese civilization

p. 137

"In our day, we don't need special skills, we're not proud. If you have something you want to do, I can buy it at the supermarket or convenience store, and then I check the recipes online."

It may be the case if you only cook, but the way you serve it, the way you cut the vegetables. It also makes good sense. It's not something that can be done overnight.

"Do you also cook for Sudo?"

Listening like that, Horikita looks at him a little antagonized.

"Why should I cook for him?"

"No ... you teach him to study well"

"Yes, but why should I tell him what I was going to cook?"

Although it was going to be a trivial question, Horikita continues to refute.

"If I'm in a position where I'm teaching you to study, I can answer the question now. It is an act that also serves as a regular thank you. But there's no way I, who teaches, will do this kind of work."

It's a reason there's no sound of dazzling noise.

"I don't know if you're smart or stupid."

It's also a line here. Sudo favors Horikita. You should be able to act from that relationship. Sudo's favor appears to have not been received from the front until now. But that's probably because Horikita doesn't put much emphasis on love. However, it has not reached a place where you can be aware of such things.

"Well, then, could we let me into the main topic?"

Horikita took out the note, saying it. And that he comes to me.

Don't you have to ask this? Horikita has always been fighting these days.

"I thought of the plan that I think would be the best for Class C. I want you to rate me."

And he added.

"You ate rice, didn't you?"

p. 138

It's a very dirty way. I'd like to give a reward first and ask for a job. I get the note open without hesitation. Content related to the special exams described in its entirety. There was also a description of the tenth class A event, but it is overwritten because it was announced today.

By the way, the first class selected by Class C is "English" "Basketball" "Arqueria" "Swimming" and "Tennis" "Ping Pong" "Typing Skill", "Football", "Piano" and "Janken".

The latter seems to be a problem to be released in secret.

Who is good for several eyes and how likely is it to win? Horikita's score is also written.

All the necessary things were sulled in this note. I'm going through the details until I reach you. Seeing that, Horikita is stunned.

"Apart from the rice, don't you think I meant it?"

"Hey, yes. I was prepared to make it happen ...

"This special test requires your data with analysis. It is impossible to reveal the power of the command tower without reading it."

There is no difference compared to the data I've heard.

"It's a data collection that makes our classes naked and round."

"I've been worried for the past week, and the answer I got.

With this, the command tower will work for everyone else.

"I'm improving the grade as it is, and I'll finally assign the 10 events for Class A as well. I think you'll see it and take on the challenge of being a command tower."

"Yes, Sudo and Akito are likely to be strong even in events other than one by one, and in the case of Onodera they will lose certainty if they compete with the children. Think of the third and fourth candidates. It would be wise."

Horikita is silent. It's a shame that it's easy to identify students who have the potential to shine at various events. After all, so far, it's a very nice job.

p. 139

"There is no objection to the content of the note, but can I only place one order for you?"

"What would it be?"

"There was a chess event chosen by Class A."

I drink some water and cut it like this.

Since there are no students who are good at chess, the grades are still blank as usual.

"Yes, for now I'm going to move on. I never have. Only you in the command tower know the rules in the classroom. I could ask you for advice."

"That's it, but you want me to play the chess game."

"For me? Certainly, someone needs to practice ... Why?"

He can't be too strong, and Horikita will answer if he can't win.

"Because you thought I was fit to teach."

"If it's my partner, I don't have to build a relationship from scratch, I think it would be easy."

"Don't lie if you say there's nothing"

"I can accept that ... but I think there will be some students who obey you, and I think there are other events that I can help at.

Horikita is basically a universal student.

Both the written exam and sports give a certain rating or more. There's no doubt about it here.

"It's a pure skill to be sought. The part of the control tower established there is a time limit. It's a time when I can't think, even if Sakayanagi has confidence in chess. I think it will be used from the beginning. No, it's the beginning of the game that matters."

If you feel overwhelmed in the early stages, it will be extremely difficult to recover from this.

"Isn't it just because you know the rules individually, but you're focusing on chess individually? In your reading, do you think Class A will choose it as the fifth event?"

"Definitely. Chess only cares that the participation of the command tower is too strong."

p. 140

"I was stuck at that point too ... Ok. I'll keep growing."

While I'm grateful for my good consent, we continue to eat.

"So how do you practice chess?"

"Horikita, if you're forced to fight, you can practice over the internet in the middle of the night."

"If you're sure of it, I won't realize what the details will be"

It's also helpful not to have to press other exercises.

Part 11

I was hoping this would end the story, but that's not the case with wholesalers.

"Don't ask, Ayanokouji-kun. You ate my rice, didn't you?

"Don't I think you're a little jealous?"

If the food were halfway there, the devil would have descended again.

Didn't you just finish with the previous note?

"Well, well? I'm on your way, do you think there's any jealousy?

"What's the story?"

"During the time of voting in class. Were you moving me behind you? Answer me"

"Wait. Not anything you ---"

"My brother gave me some advice. It was you who was behind me in that context."

It didn't look like he was talking with a proper idea.

However, Horikita Major, could not filter such a thing.

"I didn't notice it at first, but I thought carefully."

It means she came to the conclusion on her own.

"You were reading everything I did."

p. 141

"It's unlikely to deny it"

"Yes, there is absolutely no definitive material. When I asked my brother, I wouldn't say anything to imply your participation, but for me it becomes conviction."

Horikita has been growing gradually throughout the year.

Horikita Major and I admitted it.

However, as enmity with his brother diminished, it began to bloom in a stretch.

Horikita major must have been aware of Horikita's potential because she has a long relationship with me. So it's probably one of the reasons he kept chasing his older brother.

"You look pretty awkward."

"I feel like I'm taking a pressure interview"

"Oh, it's okay. Your attitude has shown that you can't break me."

Say that and round the story. It seems to be hard to manipulate in the near future.

"I'm going to ask you a question, but you're free to answer this."

Horikita's eye power that grabs my eyes and doesn't release him.

"Do you think you can beat Sakayanagi-san in a confrontation?"

"I don't think he's an opponent at all. That's what I thought when I saw this note."

"... I agree. I'll organize my classes with my contributions."

"Now, you're doing well."

In Hirata's absence, almost all classmates are acting in accordance with Horikita.

Preparation to lead it and lead to victory.

I sincerely appreciate you taking the lead in the part I can't do.

"I'll leave it from now on. I'll judge everything and decide"

"I know, but it's better to judge and decide only the rules of the command tower."

"You should do that too"

p. 142

"You mean, you're going to fight the materials I prepared to the end?"

"I don't know the details of the class anyway"

"At all ... you think about candy, if you think you can beat Class A."

""Maybe"

They sent me to the front door and I left Horikita's room.

"First of all, today, I'll say it's a party... Next time I'll leave you this kind of thing"

Every time I have a meal, I realize I become suspicious.

"Well, I keep thinking about something else."

No, that's not the case.

Part 12

A few days before the confrontation with Class A, Keisei managed to make contact with Katsuragi.

Soon I'll call you a less popular place.

Basically, isolated Katsuragi is easy to catch because she acts alone.

"... So, what else do you mean? Yukimura"

A man who had felt a strong anger against Sakayanagi set a keen eye on Keisei.

"Katsuragi, I have something I'd like you to cooperate with."

"It's a consultation right now. I don't have any questions about anything."

Katsuragi proactively acknowledges that he is trying to propose Keisei.

"If so, let's talk first. We want you to tell us what the five events will be officially adopted. And the other one, we'd like you to retire during the exam."

Keisei talks about what he didn't tell me and Horikita.

p. 143

"Doing that, I have a reward for you"

"Katsuragi, welcome to our class"

"That's an interesting story. Betray a class and fall into class C?"

As you laugh through your nose, kick the suggestion of philanthropy.

"We'll be in Class A someday, so we have the power to do it""

At that point, Keisei once again argued that this agreement would be alive.

But Katsuragi, it just sounded like a last name.

"I'm going to be in Class A someday, and I'll say the same thing no matter what class I hear."

"That's what..."

"If it's really powerful, why don't you try beating Class A without doing something so stupid? You can't do that, so you're trying to win even if you use me."

Keisei turns off in a loud tone that resembles a rebuke from Katsuragi, where there are no loud noises.

"Oh, I guess, if you really get on Class A, you can say they'll offer 20 million points right now in exchange for information. No, that wouldn't be possible. It would be safe to prevent Yamauchi from leaving school before that."

Naturally, Katsuragi knows we don't have that big amount of money.

"That's what..."

"Are you going to say you're waiting to prepare 20 million points in two years?"

"... yes."

"It's like a dream. Even if you're in Class A, there's no guarantee that 20 million points can be prepared at that time. If you make a contract, you won't be able to do anything without touching the sleeves. No, is this story a Class C consensus?

p. 144

Katsuragi is not just a stupid student. This is what you'll understand until you hold hands.



p. 146

If it was a class C consensus, the people who come to see Katsuragi must be Horikita's class. At the time of my revelation, I must have realized that this is still a secret.

"I understand that I am desperate, but I can't even prepare a premise for the negotiations. Do you agree that we're going to cooperate? I thought you'd assume such a thing? "

The act of betraying a classmate is not an easy task.

More than that he's a tough man.

"... I wonder if I can keep Sakayanagi quiet."

"What?"

"Do you want Totsuka to drop out of school and hold on to the current Class A?"

In the orthodox method, if you can't abandon Katsuragi, Keisei rushes in the preparation to break the ball.

"I'm not sure I'm going to pass my graduation in such a miserable condition.

"The end is a miserable hand. It's a zero point for negotiations, Yukimura."

"Argh!"

Most of that, Katsuragi also remind me of who's present.

"Do you have anything to say, Ayanokouji?

"No, as Katsuragi says. There's no room for us to argue."

When I show the gesture of raising the white flag, Katsuragi immediately loses sight of me.

"Yukimura, I don't want to blame you, but if you want to betray him, it means you have to be prepared for it."

As he leans against the wall, Katsuragi turns somewhere in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

I've seen nothing but looking at something.

"But you said only one thing right"."...right?"

p. 147

It was a reluctance that had already lost the war, but I would like to mention Katsuragi's words.

"It means That I must be angry with Sakayanagi. It's worth moving personally, even without the negotiating material."

Katsuragi looks at the eyes of revelation as she holds her arms.

"I know that some predictions have been made, Sakayanagi has not revealed the five formal events to anyone."

As expected, is he in the state of hiding alone in Sakayanagi's chest?

"I don't like that. It's not a test the whole class likes this time. It's better to have a strategy to share with each other and make sure you win."

It is the greatest strength not to filter what is the fifth event, but there is no enemy that is strengthened in practice for that segment. If you do 10 events evenly, efficiency drops naturally.

"If you're good with my selfish prediction, there's nothing I can't say."

"Hmm, is it true?"

When I give up not being able to give up Katsuragi, good luck comes in an unexpected way.

That means I have a strong feeling for Sakayanagi.

"If you can promise me not to say anything else here... but ... "

"Oh, of course. I'll bring the 20 million-point story to Horikita later."

As promised, I look at Keisei.

"It's unnecessary. Even if it's useful information, you can't have 20 million for yourself."

"If so, what are you looking for in return"

"Nothing. If it is by force so to speak, it will simply mean the defeat of Sakayai."

Saying that, Katsuragi starts talking.

p. 148

"Chess" " "Test english" "Math Test". The third event is definitely one of his favorites. Secondly, "Test contemporary sentences" and "mental flash arithmetic" on the other hand, big rope jumping and Dodgeball require a lot of people who can green as almost false. Looks like they haven't been practicing, according to what I see."

Whether Katsuragi's claim is true or not, it cannot be known until the day comes.

But if you squeeze three or more of these as your favorites, it'll be right.

"Is it really good? No rewards"

"Let's say. It's worth moving, even without the negotiating material."

Keisei obtained information from Katsuragi, which, in my opinion, was difficult, unexpectedly.

It seems that the joy has been heard little by little.

"Yes, I did, Kiyotaka. Now we have a chance to win!"

Keisei poses.

And one more thing. It was a story I wanted you to put your hand on the test."

"Hmm, no, that's impossible- "

"Well, have you come here to negotiate so far, are you satisfied with that information alone?"

Katsuragi laughed a little if it was funny.

"That's not why ..."

"It's better not to think that you can only win by collaborating halfway. It would be wise to think that I could just get out of hand and fight at the same time. However, I can cooperate with you on Flash Mental Arithmetic or jump on a large rope if I happen to be chosen."

I decided to ask Katsuragi a question.

"Can I participate in the event while I am warned by Sakayanagi? There is the possibility of one or more rounds in the long-string jumping event Is there a guarantee to rely on Katsuragi for mental arithmetic? "

p. 149

"Because me and Tamiya are good at mental arithmetic in class A. Tamiya's ability isn't that high. Getting rid of me in that situation would only lower the winning percentage. I'm going to completely break your fangs by abandoning Yahiko. To use them as a piece, I'm going to go up with them first.

I use Katsuragi as a piece that only rebelled.

Does that mean it's going to be a call for Sakayanagi? In the case of flash mental arithmetic, if I make a mistake in the problem or, if I jumped on the big rope, Katsuragi will offer me to catch her at an early stage.

"But I want to keep Sakayanagi from getting to know each other no matter how much I lose. I may make a mistake when jumping on a big rope by chance, but I will solve a simple problem for instant arithmetic.

We won up close while we're playing a close game.

"But if I'm not named, even if you chose flash mental arithmetic that day, I'm sorry because you weren't lucky."

However, there should be no dissatisfaction with the provision of exceptional information.

After Katsuragi left, Keisei says excitedly.

"Let's tell Horikita this immediately"

"No ... you better not tell Horikita that you've touched Katsuragi this time.

"But why?"

"In theory it went well. But, he'll be angry if I know how we know we're acting on our own."

"Although, you must use the information in a useful way".

"I want my time to be consistent. I won't do it wrong"

I seemed to feel a little jealous, but I finally agreed.

The fact that I wanted to shut him up because he's in touch with Katsuragi, I guess I did.











p. 150

CHAPTER 6: Tears of Man

I got the information through Katsuragi, but that didn't mean class C had an advantage.

Horikita, who knows it well, tries to remove the anxiety material one by one.

"Wait a minute Hirata-kun"

After school, Horikita called Hirata, who was trying to take a seat and return home.

After the first class voting event ends,

Hirata only stops her feet without looking back.

"I don't want to listen to you, but let me check something on my own. Your turn won't come in the Class C selection event, there are no plans to name you on that day. But that depends on the situation. Sakayanagi-san who understands his condition, can think of throwing several events that require other people."

No matter how Class C cares about Hirata, there is a chance that all 38 people will come for it.

"When that happens, what will you do? Feeling attentive? Or will you do the bare minimum? Do you have any answers?

But Hirata doesn't answer anything. Only heavy silence flows into the classroom.

And time passed at the same time as Hirata came out.

"You can't get an answer, can you?"

He simply fell in love with Hirata, and Horikita lowered his eyes as if he had given up.

"... hey, we ... we just can't win ... Hirata-kun, that's all."

Anxious voice filtered by girls.

That would be the same for the kids. Absence of a man who has taken you out of class.

That puts pressure back on Class C and attacks.

p. 151

"You said it depends on your efforts, but in the end nothing changed."

"Sorry"

"Hmm,... "

Horikita, who looks up in a strange way, has a point beyond her eyes.

"Hirata-kun! Wait!"

Mii-chan shouts that you don't know how many times they go. I panicked and went after him.

"You haven't surrendered yet, Mii-chan"

"I don't understand it at all"

"Horikita has something to do with it. she tries to unite class C and improve accuracy."

There's nothing but Horikita in this class that can do it now.

I'm chasing Mii-chan.

I witness two people facing each other on the way to the bedroom. It's different from bittersweet confession.

It's an attack as a classmate to make Hirata recover.

"Please, Hirata-kun. We need the power of Hirata-kun ... Then ----"

"Mii-chan, I want you to make it easy. You can't leave me alone ..."

Hirata complains a lot, as you would understand if you say it many times.

The sharp edge of the word would definitely have pierced his heart deeply.

However, the power of his eyes does not weaken.

Even if you push him out, Mii-chan will come.

"Hey, I can't leave it ... Hirata-kun in such a condition, I can't let him go"

Then how are you going to leave me? Tell me."

"That's it, if Hirata-kun returns to the original...

p. 152

"Back to the original? It's impossible."

A cold word falls on Mii-chan incessantly over and over again.

"No, I think Hirata-kun will come back again."

"I'm telling you, it's impossible. No problem, even if you only believe it in your."

"I still believe it!"

Hirata holds his fist. In some cases, it was an air that could get his hands out.

"I wonder if Yamauchi-kun will return."

"Hmm,... "

"That's what it's like to go back to the original."

Yamauchi, who once dropped out of school, would never return to Class C.

The same is true, Hirata will not return to the original.

Take it for granted, Mii-chan.

"That's what..."

"I want you to understand before you put it into words."

Hirata tries to come out with his back. Mii-chan was unintentionally stretching his right hand.

Grab Hirata's right arm and try to hold it.

If you go into the bedroom, you won't be able to do anything again today.

"Can you let me go?"

"I won't let you go!"

Even if it was rejected, Mii-chan did not stop.

If you do, I think you can get to Hirata.

I stare at the scene in the place, leaving a little distance between the two.

I decided I shouldn't get too close.

However, Hirata sighs openly.

p. 153

Then he raised his right arm and waved his hand to shake his hand.

"eek!"

A blunt form not of Hirata.

Mii-chan rushes instead towards the place.

"... Leave me alone. If not ... I... I ..."

The point where Mii-chan who fell rose upwards.

Hirata's gaze containing her anger hurts, but Mii-chan again.

"I'm not afraid of losing anymore.

The last of the last.

Hirata attempted to defeat Mii-chan, an iron armor not comparable to previous words.

At that moment, a man walks past him.

A man who blows his hair in the wind and shakes the smell of water from the colony.

"Oh, it looks like you're going to be an idiot today, too. You've let yourself be seen on the ugly side."

I speak Hirata in light words. Koenji was basically a homecoming group.

"Wow, don't worry about me and do the rest. You're going to take a look."

Something like that is said, Hirata is not stupid enough to continue.

Rather, it begins to turn hostility towards the intruder man.

"You too ... you want something from me...

"Want to? There's nothing I want. I've got it all."

That's right, it was Koenji who goes through the Hirata and the others.

"That's right, if you force me to have something you want ..."

If you look at Koenji, he'll take only one path.

It's nothing more or less than that.

p. 154

It doesn't matter what Hirata's feelings are like.

"Can't I get in sight because I'm uncomfortable? This is no longer the right school for you, you just have to retire quickly"

It's a story about Koenji. He recommends that you drop out of school immediately.

"... it's noisy ... you don't even know my circumstances...'

"I don't know and I'm not interested. But I guess I can guess that because I'm bothering my classmates, can't you just drop out of school?

"Now, please stop Koenji-kun! There's nothing wrong with Hirata-kun!"

Mii-chan rose to stop the relentless attack on the Hirata on Koenji.

"Oops. You didn't like my words. How rude."

While he laughs, Koenji pays some respect to Mii-chan.

"But it's better to forget about Hirata-Boy early.

Hirata, who had been at the last limit, wrinkled his eyes on Koenji.

"Oh, no, Hirata-kun!"

Mii-chan, who detected an obvious anomaly, entered between the two to stop Hirata, but Hirata threw Mii-chan harder than before. Koenji then extends his arms.

The right hand tried to grab the chest, but in the other hand, the wrist held down and pressed Koenji's left hand quickly.

"Ku!"

"I'm not going to forgive the other part that's coming? I don't want to scratch my beautiful face."

The expression of pain and anger reaches Hirata, whether you are closing your wrist with your grip.

"I'm sorry, but you're very annoying, Koenji.........!"

"I'm free to do anything, but I don't want to make you complain that you made the girl cry"

Koenji throws a glance at Mii-chan as he sits down.

And let go of Hirata's doll and he says:

p. 155

"I was defeated, can you give me a hand?"

"... I have nothing to do with me."

"It doesn't matter, it looks like you've been told something hard."

Mii-chan, who cannot look at Hirata directly from the front, deflects his eyes.

"Well. that's also the Freedom of Hirata-boy"

"Hmm, uh!? "

Koenji hugs Mii-chan, who has fallen.

"But if you don't need it, I'll give you something."

A man who doesn't know what to do, Mii-chan is stunned by The sudden action of Hirata.



p. 157

"They hurt me and I was even hurt. It won't heal."

"Oh, oh, oh, no! You're not hurt at all!"

"No, you don't need to worry. I'm very kind, even though I see this."

Maybe Koenji's wound isn't a physical part, it's a mental part.

Aim for the wounded mind. I think maybe.

Koenji begins to leave Hirata

"Ah, please leave me!"

"Haha! You're not going that way. You've already received my envy."

"Yes yes!"

Hirata who gives a remorse on Koenji's back.

Koenji didn't know how he got here.

"Are you still unhappy with me?"

It's honest that I wanted to ignore in this place.

"You'll hurt me forever. Anywhere, everywhere."

"It's not right. You're hurting the surroundings. At least I won't let a girl do me a favor."

Koenji, who left, did not try to listen to the noisy Mii-chan.

Hirata realizes that he has the same foot as the bedroom, and if he does not want to pass at the same time, he walks in the opposite direction.

I missed out for a moment as to where to go, but I decided to follow Koenji.

What Mii-chan dropped is also the same. Pick it up and chase it.

At the entrance to the bedroom, Koenji gently descended to Mii-chan.

"This, Koenji-kun, why ..."

"Fuffuffu, well, why not?"

Koenji laughs without answering Mii-chan's question.

"Which way I will take, for today I will stop following Hirata-Boy"

He gives Mii-chan the chopsticks I picked up.

"Thank you, Ayanokouji-kun ... ... ... I mean, I did."

p. 158

I'm good at killing the sign. I didn't speak.

"Will I be watching here until you get in the elevator?"

"... understood."

Looking for Hirata from now on, I don't know where he's going to be.

Mii-chan surrendered once and boarded the elevator to be released by Koenji.

I also watch the situation and see Koenji sitting on the couch in the lobby.

"Well ... is there anything for me? Ayanokouji-boy"

"Why did you call Hirata, Koenji? Was it the act of pouring oil over the fire, or did you act on the idea that it would be for the class?"

"You still don't seem to understand me."

Put your finger slightly and shake it.

"I'm not going to act by class, I just do what I want to do. It's just a byproduct, either as a positive or negative result for the class"

Is that a byproduct? Koenji just does what he wants to do. The only exception would be to act alone when you were at risk of dropping out of school.

"An ugly presence, I feel as nervous as flies."

So I just got a voice.

"It's selfish to do whatever you want, but what if you want to take a test like voting in class next time? Honestly, there are no students standing in one more place than Koenji now."

"Fuffuffu. It will somehow be my abilities."

After confirming that Mii-chan disappeared completely from the elevator, Koenji gets up.

"Yes. You're definitely going to be the commander on this exam."

"Oh"

"I won't improve my motivation, so please avoid using me."

"It's bad, but it's Horikita who judges it. I have no right to make decisions."

p. 159

"Is that different? she, no, you have the right to make decisions. You're the commander."

Certainly, the rule is so ... but it doesn't look like Koenji has connections to them.

"Anyway, I'll ask for a case-by-case answer."

Having said that, I went into the elevator and went back to my room.

Part 1

I left the bedroom and decided to look for Hirata.

He'll never go back to school, so he'll be near Keyaki mall.

If popularity is supposed to be avoided, the possibility of being outside is high.

Anyway, I'm walking here and there.

After searching for about an hour, I find a lonely back, sat on the bench.

"Hirata"

I'm calling by the name at close range, packed at your fingertips.

"... Ayanokouji-kun"

The reaction slowly returns, and Hirata lifts his face.

I haven't seen my face face in front of me in a long time.

It was as if I couldn't sleep or had a terrible bear under my eyes that I had never seen before.

"Can I have some time?"

Yes, Hirata opened his eyes a little.

"I'm tired, though. Next time, I'll talk to you. Only Ayanokouji-kun knows me well, so I thought he'd leave me alone. But you let me down."

"Not bad. If you don't like it, will I run away like Mii-chan?

p. 160

Hirata did not attempt to get up from the bank, although he dared to make a provocative statement.

"It's time, I don't care, there's no way out of this school. I'm tired today and I'm not ready to escape. But... I don't think I can meet my expectations."

In this short period of time, many students talked about Hirata.

Anxious voices, encouraging voices. None of them would have been painful.

Even though you don't know everything about who you are, you can imagine what I said to Hirata.

You should try to wrap it gently so that your heart heals.

Two people sit there on an unpopular bank.

"Then ... what are you talking about?"

We already know the harmony planned in Hirata.

Listen lightly, just work from right to left.

"I want you to talk about Hirata"

"Hm?"

A humble voice from Hirata, who thought my sympathy would fly.

"What kind of boy were you? What kind of thought did you have? I'm thinking of trying to teach you."

"... why?"

"Oh, I guess I wanted to know something somehow. You worry when I ask for a reason."

Hirata shook her head slowly from side to side.

"Now I can't afford to remember the old days. There's nothing to talk about."

"You can't allow it, why?"

"Why do I ... that's ...a".

He's lighting his eyes, you know?

p. 161

"What's it like?"

Ignoring such eyes, I asked again.

"... It's because Yamauchi-kun dropped out of school."

They say you don't want to say it.

While holding that conscience strongly, Hirata said he was muddy.

"You can tell me something terrible."

"It's just because I wonder. I apologize if I make you feel bad.

"Well!"

Hirata sighed again, not having the power to argue.

Round your back, shake your neck to pointless left and right.

I want you to leave him, I don't care. Make such an appeal.

"Does Yamauchi have a relationship with leaving school and not being able to talk about the old days?"

Hirata puts a determined face back in response to my request.

"Now it has nothing to do with my past, does it?"

"I've never been there"

I told Hirata, i was trying to cut him, to cover it.

"I certainly don't want classmates dropping out of school. I don't think so, but I don't have time to regret it. The test of the selection event is coming soon. Not just Horikita or Kushida. Even Ike and Sudo are trying to fight by changing their heads. Why Hirata? He's still dragged to leave Yamauchi forever, even if we try to cooperate ---"

I dare stop the words once.

And, I appealed that I didn't want to talk about it and I changed.

"What I want to know is the story of the events that shaped the meaning of Hirata's values."

"What does it mean to hear that? Even if I speak?"

"Talking. Now I want to meet Hirata and I can't help it."

p. 162

I'm looking forward to exposing my mind. I can't do that, but it's happening now.

This time I'll talk with my eyes.

Be strong enough to talk and threaten.

Hirata looked herself in the eye and was afraid.

"The meaning that Karuizawa-san showed everything before Ayanokouji-kun finally understood it in the real sense. I saw your eyes... no, they showed me, a deep darkness that is scary is spreading ... my eyes."

Hirata is also attacked by my darkness.

This man is not waiting for death. I hope to be saved every day.

So I grabbed the black line of salvation that was dropped. To drag him from hell.

"I've spoken to you once... I had a good friend from a very young age, but when I was in high school, I said the kid became a target of tension."

"Oh, it was Sugimura."

"You remember the name well..."

Only knowing the history can he predict Hirata's mental state.

Hirata wanted to help her friend, but feared it was a target of oppression.

As a result, he had to spend his time as a spectator.

And ---

"My friend jumped and killed himself"

It's probably finally starting to remember about that time.

He began to speak little by little.

"I only kept my life, but he's still sleeping without recovery..."

Hirata joins her hands to make a strong fist.

p. 163

"It allows you to do the act of taking your own life. The weight of responsibility does not change."

"It's not your fault, Hirata. The source is in another human being."

"That's right. But I think viewers are guilty, too."

Hirata said on the boat. That's why those close to you want to save.

In fact, Hirata has always taken the lead and intervened in class affairs.

I spared that effort to find a clue to the solution.

Even when Sudo gives up on someone, it's the same to be the fake couple with Kei.

But that alone can't be explained.

"I know you have a question"

Hirata says without turning eyes.

"A friend jumped up and planned to kill himself.

It wasn't told on the boat, the story after that.

"I thought all the fuss was over when he jumped in and tried to kill himself. After paying big sacrifices, there was no more stress from school. But it was different. After that incident, I saw in the background the darkness of humanity."

Shaking, in his eyes it was something of a visible and hidden murderous intention.

"The target of a new massacre is now out of my classmates"

Control your emotions and start singing as a single word as you exhale.

"I couldn't believe it. Just because there was something so horrible, a new brutality had already begun. A child who used to be just a spectator started to see the same thing. And even classmates who haven't been involved in the turmoil have begun to do so."

Oppression is inexhaustible.

p. 164

"If the background of caste6 is absent, of course, the student at the top will be at the bottom".

"I thought I'd never let that happen again. I thought I had to stop."

"Then ... did you take action?

Nod your head. Twice and again.

"I took a certain way to avoid repeating the same mistake"

Hirata slowly lifts his face and looks forward.

"It's right, to put it plainly, I tried to rule with fear."

"Hirata?

"Yes. I'm not a strong man like Sudo-kun and Ryuuen-kun, but there's no such thing as a man who really scolds you. I was the only one to get up and take the rest of the students to the bottom, so I tried to get rid of the oppression. I gave them the same sanctions on both sides and gave them pain, there was no difference, but there was a moment of silence."

Hirata also knew it was not justice, it was a mistake.

However, I didn't want to see the world where someone gets tangled up.

"As a result, a school year ... did the students finally separate? The smile disappeared, just like a shipment from an inorganic robot every day. This is a little rumor in the area where I lived at the time...... It's been treated as a case."

"How did the school manage after all that?

"I think it was an unusual response. All classes were forced to separate once. All of them, including me, were reorganized, and the watchdogs became strict and remained until graduation."

If it's a case that's so famous, of course it's widely known.

Is there no way this school hasn't detected it?

No, I may have advanced to Hirata because they knew the case.

6 Caste: is a particular way of social stratification to which belongs only through birth and is characterized by having a solid, rigid and immobile system.

p. 165

Anyway, I finally saw the reason I came into Class D.

"Yamauchi was attacked and I couldn't forgive myself for being attacked."

"Yes ... I wanted to pretend that I don't know if I could get into my ear. I wanted to keep quiet until voting day in class."

As a result, Horikita's trial made it possible to forgive unnecessary existence.

"It wasn't good. After all, he was a human being who couldn't try to organize a class. Even if I hit him, he couldn't protect Yamauchi-kun... Ayanokouji-kun, I'm not good, I tried to rule again in fear to protect someone."

Hirata shakes her voice.

The balance of your heart is about to collapse.

Hirata thinks that happiness and background should be shared throughout the class.

Someone suffers, someone falls, can't stand that.

Surely, he's always asked him and he's always repeated it.

It's unclear how far I could see Mii-chan and other students.

However, it should be so.

"There was no way".

"Hirata-kun is not bad at all".

"Bad, betray Yamauchi".

Even in three matches, Hirata is justice and the rest are evil.

Only the diagram will never change.

This can't be a solution.

There's no point talking to Hirata to defend someone in the class and blame him.

Rather, they are trapped in their own shells.

"There's something I want to keep in mind. It's not Horikita's fault, and of course I wasn't responsible for Yamauchi being dropped from school. Do you know?

p. 166

"... Yes. There was no choice, but we couldn't do anything."

I said something small so I wouldn't blame him.

Looks like I'm feeling that Hirata isn't bad for me.

It would have sounded like, 'Don't you hate me?'

"I think it's Yamauchi's responsibility to drop out of this school in the C-class."

"You can only think of yourself ...

By saying that I don't want to admit it, he came to the conclusion that Hirata came out.

Autonomous. Competition that cannot be ruled out, is because of Yamauchi who lived.

"It's different"

Denied. I'm in front of me, I'll kick the sweet idea of Hirata.

"Yamauchi dropped out of school, Hirata is your responsibility"

"Oh ...! "

I lift my face and he sees me.

He's got a face I can't understand what I'm saying.

"If you want to help, you have to help Yamauchi anyway"

"Oh, but --- I'm doing my best ---! But I had no choice!"

"Class B, Ichinose has not caused any casualty".

"It's special for her, but it's something they came out of because they had so many private points."

"Then there's a problem you didn't address. Saving as Ichinose did this year would have been good to be able to keep it when there was a retreat."

Yamauchi wouldn't drop out of school so that all 40 people would stay in the class.

"It's impossible. We lost our class points at first at school. Even if we didn't lose it, the students in our class now can't afford to do it."

p. 167

"The class point has become 0, it is also your responsibility not to lead you to answer".

No matter how much you try to escape, it's still Hirata's responsibility.

"It's not reasonable, it's unreasonable."

"Oh, it's unreasonable, but I can't help you. You've chosen that path. The illusion of helping everyone is essentially at heart. So if anyone leaves school, it's to blame Hirata. If you keep that feeling around you, you'll be responsible for everything if you fail.

"I, I am--!"

"They got you wrong. You've been a kind of honored student, and I think you're a person who gets the respect of a lot of your classmates. But no. You're a deficient, incompetent student who just said I can't do it, that's what you are, Yousuke Hirata."

This is the end point. He's not incompetent.

The person named Hirata is a well-made student who cannot be considered a first grader in high school and an excellent human resource.

It's not a bad thing to say I want to protect him, and it doesn't mean he won't be responsible if it can't be achieved.

Still, I blame Hirata.

It's all the way to blame.

Press and hold until it is crushed.

If you think about Hirata, it's not.

For Hirata to be strong enough to protect everyone in the future?

I'm sure not everyone can be protected.

In addition, some abandonments occur in the same way.

When it comes out, we need a part called Hirata for the class to work well.

"I'll dream forever"

A step cannot be taken beyond the framework of compulsory education.

p. 168

High school is a place where you go with your own will and decide your own career.

"That's ... your true nature? It's a horribly atrocious and cold word...

Overflowing tears from Hirata's right eye.

It's not long before it spills from the left as well.

"You are free to ask what you want, but if you wish, you have no choice but to fight at least to the end and scratch to the limit. You have to accept it, you can still move on."

"It's Cruel ... talk about it."

"If you stop now, the students around you will retire one after the other. That's why, if Hirata comes back to the end and walks forward, surely, when it's all over, there'll be a lot of students standing right behind you."

It's very brave to be one step ahead of people.

I don't know what obstacles come out and fall.

"But ... So where should I spit? ... I wonder if I just have to stay alone and keep walking forward."

"There is no such thing. If you're in trouble, just ask other classmates. Horikita, Kushida, Sudo, Ike, Mii-chan or Shinohara, that's fine. Talk to the person you want to count on. There's nothing to do with the front or back."

There is no such rule that anyone in front shows a faint sound.

Those behind them can reach the precarious of the human being.

Classmates must be willing to accept the low sound of Hirata.

"I am ... I 'm... I'm like that ... I can walk in front of everyone..."

"It's okay. If you're here now, you can walk in front of you."

I put my shoulders on once.

With that little impact, more tears came out of Hirata's eyes.

p. 169

Settle.

I once emptied all the big luggage that Hirata's been carrying.

Hirata, which cannot move, can get up and stand up.

"Thank you ... Thank you Ayanokouji-kun ... ...

Lots of tears falling from the face of Hirata soaking.

A man is an annoying creature who cannot show tears except in special moments.

That's why I also want to have friends who can show him my tears.

I don't need words anymore.

Right next to the group, you just have to catch this man's weakness.

Then you start walking forward again.



p. 171

Part 2

Night comes, and the next day arrives.

Production of the last special exam of the school year that approaches each moment.

There was no Hirata figure in the classroom who went to school. Mii-chan's expression is still dark somewhere.

Even though everyone's chasing in the corner of their head, there's something still worrying somewhere.

A man who must be in Class C showed up.

Everyone now remembers the resistance even when they look at it.

"Good morning ... Hirata-kun"

After all, Mii-chan talked to Hirata before anyone else.

Hold on to the sadness, make a smile full of effort.

Hirata who saw the distance shortened.

"O"

Mii-chan that hardens for a moment when I lost my mind yesterday.

Seeing that, Hirata lowered her head.

"Good morning. I'm sorry about yesterday. I did something very wrong to Mii-chan."

"...eh?"

A word of apology containing Hirata emotions.

"And I'm sorry I ignored you, even though you always called me."

"Oh, that's right, I'm at all...

Not only did Mii-chan be surprised by Hirata, but he apparently looks different. All over the class.

"All --- good morning!"

Hirata who came to school with a refreshing smile that was sunny as a lie until yesterday.

"Hello, Hirata-kun?"

p. 172

"I'm fine now. It's all right now."

Say that after you give yourself a friendly smile, this time put your head down to everyone.

"It may be too late to apologize now... but if they're all good, I'd like to contribute to the class from today as well."

Hirata who says it without giving a head.

Both boys and girls face each other, and they go a few seconds without understanding the situation.

But ---.

"Hirata-kun!"

First, when several girls ran under Hirata, many boys and girls followed him.

There were no unhappy students for the return of Hirata, which he had been waiting for.

"What happened?"

Horikita, who was looking at the sinuous distance without knowing the situation, asks me.

"Do you say it depends on everyone's effort?"

"That's right, but ... not because you're not doing it, right?

"Do you look like this?"

"I can't see it, I do it"

"Everyone is a recovering backlash. The next day, most people are getting along well like The Kero7."

Human relationships are like that.

Hirata, who has received a welcome, will approach Horikita as the last opponent.

"Good morning Horikita-san"

The straight, clear eyes stare at Horikita.

"Eh yes good morning"

7 Kero: Honey-like substance in appearance and flavor based on glucose and corn syrup.

p. 173

Horikita was upset, thinking Hirata was dazzling.

"I don't think I was wrong about class judgment during this time."

"... probably"

"But what you did wasn't bad either. No, it was a good thing."

That time was not accepted.

Hirata has digested it in itself.

"I wasn't aware of that"

"Did you hit your head? Until yesterday, it seems that the way of thinking has changed a lot.

Even if Hirata is suspected by Horikita, he is only shown with a carefree smile.

"I'll do everything I can to get my lost credit back. Please tell me more about the special exam later."

"I know. I'm going to do a test to get an idea of the situation and if you're really useful, aren't I?

"Yes, of course".

Hirata is coming. Horikita also received a handshake for reconciliation from the front.

Hirata can be called back companion after that. Until just a few minutes ago, it has become a bright and refreshing space that is unthinkable like a jet black classroom8.

"Anyway, I can finally face the special exam."

"I like that"

It can be said that the revival of Hirata will be the best aid for Class C.

Only Koenji didn't seem to change anything.

8 Azabache: Variety of hard and compact lignite, bright black, which is polished to make ornaments.





p. 174

CHAPTER 7: Ayanokouji vs Sakayanagi

Finally, after the long period of preparation, the day of the first final special exam has arrived.

The command tower of the losing class leaves school. This time, however, the actual protection point took off.

Two defeated class control towers will lose the protection points they just earned.

Although there is no withdrawal, it can be said that it is important that the class points fluctuate a lot.

Depending on the result, there is a good chance that the entire class will be replaced.

"I forgot all the data in the notebook I gave yesterday, and today I forgot everything."

As I waited in the classroom in the morning, my name is Horikita, who was by my side.

"Select the 5 events you want, and select the fighting members"

"If I'm on my own, I can't face other students if my plan doesn't work."

"No one has made any promises about shifts at events. There is no problem because you are told that it will be selected according to the circumstances according to the 10 events and the agenda."

It's about getting rid of her and getting ready to fight smoothly.

"I won't take any responsibility no matter what."

"This time it's a class battle. Even with the participation of the command tower, what is basically required is the integral capacity of the C class. The opponent is Class A led by Sakayanagi-san. Even if you lose, no one can blame you."

As I look at Horikita sideways, I see Horikita's last message sent to the cell phone.

Here's a two-week record of Class C students taking a special exam.

p. 175

What kind of discussion, what kind of event and what kind of practice have you had?

"I'll make the most of it. Your effort is."

I left the seat and tried to move, leaving a word from Horikita.

"There is a 7/10 chance that chess will be chosen. It's not a very low probability."

Horikita has played several chess games in recent days.

"I could barely beat you after all"

Certainly, as a result, the number of times I've won is so many. However, it is not necessary to count the number of defeats that have just been remembered. Horikita's ability to play chess in this short period is considerable.

"Whoever your partner is, there is no one stronger than me to hold your hands. Keep that in mind."

"You're pretty confident."

I finished talking to Horikita and started moving like a command tower.

The remaining students basically wait in the classroom, waiting for instructions from the multipurpose room.

After the announcement of the event, we will move around and change clothes. Because the details are not known on the monitors, the information will be shared after returning.

Part 1

I enter the multipurpose room and go to the desired location. Then Sakayanagi and Ichinose, who had come for a while, were chatting. Looks like the multipurpose room hasn't opened.

"Good morning Ayanokouji-kun"

"Good morning, Ayanokouji-kun"

Two people spoke at the same time, I raise my hand slightly and I respond.

p. 176

"It looks like we can't get in yet"

"They told me to make a voice when the four people are together."

Ultimately, it will be thorough and fair.

If you enter the multipurpose room first, you can also touch the air in the test center and calm down.

As long as it's a special test, there's nothing you do too much.

"After all, it seems that only Kaneda is missing"

"Certain"

Look back. I still can't see Kaneda's figure, but he's never late.

"Then Ichinose-san got lucky."

"Hey? Good luck?

"The current Class D is no better than a baby. They can't beat Class B by chance, the rest is just the number of wins that can accumulate. With seven consecutive victories, it can be replaced depending on the result of Class A.

"No, I don't know what it's going to be like. I'll be desperately trying to get over the other side, and you can't offend me, even if it's not so much."

That's why Sakayanagi laughs graciously at Ichinose who renews his resolve.

"Oh, I said something strange."

"No, it was as if waiting for the challenger in the top seat. I just knew I wasn't looking at class D alike."

It would be a bit like the Sakayanagi stocking. However, Ichinose cannot shake his mind.

"We've devised a strategy to win, and we're here. It's hard to lose easily, especially in this test where cohesion is very proven."

"I see, that's rude. That's exactly what Ichinose-san says."

I looked out the window as I listened to those two chatting.

p. 177

The weather in April is coming soon and it's good. A cloudless sky was spreading.

Are you 5 minutes late? It's about time you had to be aware of being late.

Finally, from the end of the hall, I could hear the footsteps.

"You're not likely to be late or afraid to abstain."

Funny, Sakayanagi gives Kaneda such a big impression that he was late last.

Ichinose also seems to have sharpened their minds once the exam has begun.

We'll meet Kaneda, who's coming soon, and everyone's going to get into the multipurpose room.

I had imagined that vision for myself.

But ------

An unexpected person appears here.

As soon as the person shows up, it's Ichinose who's more surprised than anyone.

Sakayanagi did the same, but soon squinted to entertain herself.

Ryuuen-kun? Why...... here ..."

An obvious nuisance would have run to Ichinose.

No, neither I nor Sakayanagi made this assumption.

"What happened? Are you upset?

It is the former Leader of Class D, Ryuuen, who dares to convey Ichinose's discomfort in words.

"I see ... I didn't imagine this. This special examination, there was an absolute preconceived idea that the students with the point of protection would be the command tower."

Sakayanagi who understands the situation step ahead. Yes, there is no Kaneda figure around this man.

p. 178

"This special test cannot be started without the command tower. In other words, if the command tower is absent, of course, no one else will have to take over as a substitute."

Certainly, an unexpected absence on the day of production, such an unexpected situation can happen.

Perhaps there is a mechanism in which only one or two people can be recognized as operating command towers.

And, of course, it's the command tower that has as its function in being responsible for the defeat.

"Still, I had no idea. I was wondering if Ryuuen-kun would come out."

"I suppose so. Especially Ichinose, I hope you have a fever in the day, I will try to hurt you, you will return to the ground to prevent other students from risking abandoning."

If defeated, you cannot prevent the removal of the control tower, except at the protection point. In this special test, there were 'absolute beliefs' that Sakayanagi just said, the holder of the protection point will be the command tower.

Ichinose rings his throat once.

Of course, at the time of the announcement of the special test, Ichinose should have had a certain level of caution. However, with Kaneda appearing as a command tower to decide the class to face, the possibility has disappeared.

Ichinose, it seems that the removal method was established without permission.

This special exam is a battle between students with protection points.

"Participation as a substitute. Should there be any sanctions?"

"Oh, I wasn't allowed to use Kaneda at the event. It's natural to say."

That's already woven, Ryuuen replies.

"To surprise me? Even if Kaneda-kun can't join, it could be painful"

I don't know in detail how many students are Kaneda, but it should have been the strength of Class D.

p. 179

The meaning of having made a strange measure until it will be missing. It's meant to think about it unconsciously.

When did you decide That Ryuuen would be the command tower? If it's from the beginning, does that mean it's in the plan? Now in Ichinose's head, it would be a big mess.

"I need to be so cautious. I'm a human capital. If the class is defeated, the control tower will leave. It's clear that class D members will also succeed in expelling me."

"If so, do you think I'll help you?"

"Kuku. Oh, I'll take my hands off, so come quietly."

Ryuuen extends his hands slightly to create a welcoming atmosphere, but I can't be off guard with Ichinose.

"I win when I win with any hand, is that how I fight? "

"You're determined to win"

"I want you to stop. Ryuuen-kun's team is in backwater, without a point of protection. Somehow, we have a feeling that the B-flag will fall."

The type is similar to Ichinose is a type that generates trust and security through the accumulation of bases. The ability to respond to sudden accidents is far from high. It would still be nice if he were a normal opponent, but it won't work if he becomes Ryuuen.

This crash will soon spread to Class B students as well as Ichinose.

Everyone inevitably realizes that Ryuuen has become a command tower.

Even if you don't notice, let Ishizaki and others know.

If you do, Ichinose will not be able to hide the discomfort that is running.

If Ryuuen who should have been protected becomes a command tower, there are fears that you don't know what to run.

"It seems that the match between class B and class D --- is likely to be interesting"

However, it will be a development that I can't laugh at.

p. 180

I should have acted when I came to say that Class D was repeating relentlessly.

And if you were aware of the signs of Ryuuen hiding behind you, you wouldn't have been so upset.

"Well, that's all we have together, shall we go?"

When we entered the multipurpose room headed by Sakayanagi, there was a wall that was not found on the first day and was separated by only half of the room. It is a solid wall for improvisation, and seems to be highly soundproof. Four teachers in charge of the year wait in line.

"Class B and D students move to the other side"

With Professor Mashima's instructions, they disappeared into the adjoining room. There was also Chabashira.

Class A and C moderators are Sakagami-sensei of Class D and Hoshinomiya-sensei of Class B.

It seems that the teacher in charge of each exam will be outside the class they are in charge of.

"Because the test will begin after 5 minutes, make sure you feel good from now on"

Hoshinomiya-sensei advises us and begins the last meeting with Sakagami-sensei.

Before the test, me and Sakayanagi stayed alone for a little while.

"Finally ... at last this day has finally arrived. I couldn't sleep yesterday, so I almost fell asleep."

"I have no memory of keeping you waiting, though. The meeting with you was a coincidence in the first place."

"Are you saying that if you hadn't entered this school, you would never have met?"

When I said it, Sakayanagi laughs and denies it.

"Certainly, the fact that we were at this school was a coincidence. However, I am convinced that one day I will find you again. It was meant to be like this, yes, fate."

p. 181

"Destination? That's pretty abstract."

"It's because I'm also a maid."

Saying that and laughing, Sakayanagi slowly approaches as he pushes on his cane.

"If you hadn't enrolled in this school, that should only have been a 3-year delay. I was confident that I could hide my anticipation deep in my heart if I hurried"

Sakayanagi speaks with her tongue. Hope will finally come true.

"Aren't you afraid to wake up from that dream?"

Once the battle is done, we can't come back later.

"Because dreams are things to wake up from."

I don't care. It just seems like it's today.

"Normally, I would ask you to... Look, but..."

The eyes were not a girl's thing, but they showed the sharpness of a hunter hunting a prey.

"Please meet me with everything you have"

If you decide to fight halfway, Sakayanagi won't be happy.

I'm not struggling to please her, but it's annoying if I get stuck.

However, I have doubts about whether Sakayanagi may be satisfied in this special test.

As I saw through my feelings, Sakayanagi complements each other.

"It would be a lie to say that I have no conflicting feelings about this. An inadequate test like this won't be good enough for us to test our skills. We, the command towers, are limited to how we can influence the event, aren't we?"

The school is not supposed to perform a test too heavy for a single commander to win or lose.

If you can still play, it's a trivial thing, says Sakayanagi.

"That said, if the influence of the command towers was too great, I come to another problem. I think you should consider your situation as well.

p. 182

Ayanokouji-kun. You don't want your teammates to discover your true skills, do you?"

It's a very grateful consideration. If all events had been configured so that the presence of the control tower had a significant impact on the result, it would not have been able to make full use of that power. "Attention! The exam will soon begin! Back to your seats!"



p. 184

Hoshinomiya-sensei's instruction jumped, we put the team in the middle and we'll face each other.

Naturally, I can't see the other person's face. Images of Class C members are displayed on the computer.

A total of 38 people except me. Members who are assigned to the event that will be selected from now on and will be fighting.

And the 10 events we prepared are shown.

"I am Sakagami, who is in charge of the progress of the special exam. I would like to begin the final special exam in the first year. Select the five events by pressing the Enter button.

I choose the 5 events Horikita wanted to do, without hesitation.

The result will be displayed on a large monitor as soon as Class A has been selected.

From Class C, 5 events were selected such as 'Arqueria', 'basketball', 'Ping Pong', 'typing skill' and 'tennis'. I was wondering if I could take part in an interesting event called 'Janken', but I decided to say goodbye.

When I got the Class A, I deleted the English event. Football, piano and swimming will be lost because Hirata and Onodera, who do well, are likely to be useful in the partner's event.

Class C then follows the strategy to fight mainly in sports.

From Class A, there are 5 events such as 'chess', 'English test', 'contemporary sentence test', 'math test' and 'mental flash arithmetic'. 10 events in total. Katsuragi's three favorite events came in. The flash mental calculation and the test of modern sentences mentioned in the next point also influence. It was a perfect answer.

However, there is no change in the battle. Because I didn't communicate this fact to Horikita.

"From here, we'll make a full lottery at random and decide the seventh event here"

"Still, Ayanokouji-kun. The other person is Sakayanagi-san, I'm sorry for your teacher."

p. 185

"Hoshinomiya-sensei. Please be polite"

"Hey, I'm sorry to talk in private"

I am angry at Sakagami-sensei for some reason and take a position of reflection.

"Let's look at the lottery results on the big monitor in the center".

Saying that, when Sakagami-sensei urges to look at the monitor, the screen changes.

Switch to a 3D image and the lottery characters are displayed.

And the first event was projected ---.

"Basketball" 5 people required, time limit 20 minutes (2 games of 10 minutes)

Follow the rules of regular basketball.

Command Tower: Can replace up to one member at any time

A 5 vs 5 sport. It's the event we chose class C

In other words, it's an event that can't be ruled out at all.

"Sakagami-sensei. Are our students free in their own language?"

"There is no particular rule. Please be free."

"Does that mean you're free to develop a war of languages?"

Confirm the purpose directly, but Sakagami-sensei did not indicate any problems.

"Wow. Sakayanagi-san's forgiveness"

Sakayanagi, who obtained permission, would have seen him attack me relentlessly.

"Hoshinomiya-Sensei"

"Hmm, I'm sorry! I won't talk to you anymore!"

Students are free but teachers are not free. Hoshinomiya-sensei gets angry at every moment.

p. 186

"As expected, the C-Class has consolidated into a few sporting competitions. There are few students who can study, so it is not impossible. This basketball remains the key to Sudo-kun. He's also in this school. One of the best basketball players, I don't think there's any way to win if you're not good at it."

I can hear the words of analysis from Sakayanagi who wants a war of tongue, but this time, she is silenced.

I do not want to ask myself any additional impressions about Hoshinomiya-sensei and Sakagami-sensei as much as possible.

"You won't talk about more, did Horikita-san command you, who's the real command tower?"

Without saying a word, Sakayanagi cut like this.

"If so, what should I talk about shouldn't affect the selection?

Sakayanagi also knows that this is trying to reduce the number of teachers.

"From Horikita, I was nailed to no more speak. If you speak badly, you'll only find yourself caught up in Sakayanagi's technique."

"Fufu, that's not good Ayanokouji-kun. At that moment, you've given me an advantage. Who should be the one to manipulate you in the shadow, which should be hidden. Horikita-san, if you confess, can you guess its pattern of behavior and character? "

"No, it's not ... necessarily received by Horikita"

"Aren't you telling yourself now? I received instructions from Horikita-san."

Seeing Sakayanagi smiles, Hoshinomiya-sensei puts his hand on his forehead and escapes to think.

Sakagami-sensei, who was observing that the information was obtained without hesitation, shook his head from side to side.

"No, I just said Horikita nailed me ... The instructions can be another human being."

"Maybe it's a lie, but if you can't say it's someone else clearly, you can't do it."

p. 187

It's a situation where you can send salt to the enemy.

Only with this exchange would Sakayanagi and I have been able to convey the overwhelming difference in power.

The special exam begins with the fact that two teachers are in the same place with each other.

"Is there anything that makes sense? We're thinking about what Sakayanagi thinks about in the class, and then we're on the test. It's only the same when you realize that you've fully considered it to be a Horikita strategy."

"Oh, you have been reopened and recognized. However, when will I decide all operations? Like Ayanokouji-kun, I have brains only because of the number of companions behind me. Don't you think you're going to play after doing several simulations? "

"That's ---"

Language warfare is allowed in tens of seconds.

Sakagami-sensei, who thought he couldn't see it, is advancing the progress of the exam.

"I'm moving forward. I said my private language is free, but don't leave my hand alone."

Of course, there is no effect on our mental condition.

Only the teachers are concerned, there is only one chat for me and also for Sakayanagi.

Having finished selecting the two members, the students who play basketball will be announced at the same time.

The 5 members of my class are: 'Susumu Makita', 'Minami Setsuya', 'Ike Kanji', 'Hondou Ryotaro' and 'Onodera Kayano'. Sudo's not among them. And there's a team to throw at a girl. It's Makita. If you practice at Sudo's basketball club, it seems the skill is enough to practice. Also, although the main part of Onodera is swimming, it seems that the team is performing better than recruiting an inexperienced child halfway because the skill of the basket is not too low. In contrast, classes A all 5 members are 'Machida Kouji', 'Toba Shigeru', 'Kamuro Masumi', 'Shimizu Naoki' and 'Kitou Hayato'. Similarly, a girl is mixed up.

p. 188

If you analyze based on the information of Hirata, Kei and Kushida, it is a member that will lead us to victory.

I can't see Sakagami-sensei's face standing on the class A side, but I can see well the face of Hoshinomiya-sensei next to me. I immediately realized that I had doubts about my choice.

Ken Sudo, who was believed to be absolutely in the basketball game.

Of course, this is not the case for me, but the strategy that the whole C-class decided to discuss with Horikita.

However, this type of operation, Sakayanagi, naturally, is overlooked.

"It's a strategy that aims to win without using it. If the motor nerve of Sudo-kun is good in Ping Pong and tennis, it's no wonder. Everything is read here."

If you put Sudo on from the start, Class C can claim a safe victory without danger. On the other hand, Class A should not have basically been welcome to choose basketball. The moment I saw the basketball event, I picture Sudo. If you hit a Sudo-led Team C-led front, the chance of winning is much lower.

When this happens, I'd like to avoid throwing a student who can do sports properly.

Conversely, if you have the Sudo card cut, there are also cases where Class C will take precedence.

Based on such circumstances, we are committed to preventing Sudo from entering. I would like to preserve the valuable strength that may be evident in the sporting events that lie ahead, if it can be preserved.

When choosing tennis or Ping Pong after this, whether You can use Sudo is also an important factor.

However, looking at class A members, it seems that such a superficial idea was overlooked.

"By the way, in relation to the participation of the command tower 'You can replace up to one member at any time' Who took the

p. 189

Decision? Is that what Horikita-san thought? Is the target visible to us?"

"What evil, I can't answer"

"Yes. If there's no answer, there's no way."

On the other side of the monitor, preparations are made quickly. And soon, the game begins.

During this time, we can only see the development.

All you can do is replace a student depending on the situation.

However, there are also cases where the hand makes a big difference.

The basketball game starts with the whistle. A tense ten-minute game begins.

Although for the C-class that lacked Sudo, the development of the game in the early stages was almost the same.

An antagonistic battle where you get 2 points.

Teachers lose their eye in a battle they don't know will win.

It's not a bad thing that Makita's in charge of basketball. Although far from Sudo, Makita who can go beyond normal plays an important role in the past. On the other hand, in Class A, Kitou was standing in an ace position, and had a good relationship with Makita.

Where the match time has absorbed a period of the turn, a difference of 12 to 11 points.

Deployment that class C carries by a single point.

"It's an interesting game, this is"

Sakayanagi who filters the print like this. In the second half of the war, it's a delicate place where the army goes up.

The game begins with a four-minute break. Sakayanagi doesn't move. Even though you're leading a point, are you aiming to see the situation when you step on the same level? However, I approached the keyboard without hesitation. It was because I decided to throw Sudo away to replace Ike.

Looks like the game is the same at first glance. I don't seem to know how the game will fall.

p. 190

In the last 10 minutes, development has continued to create a suspicion to introduce Sudo.

"Huh"

Sakayanagi's voice smiles faintly. It's unlikely that Sudo can do anything.

On the other side of the monitor, Sudo heats up and comes out.

It doesn't matter if you feel doubtful about the introduction here, but the face is serious in itself.

Apparently, Sudo also felt the same way I did, as it was natural.

"The match is still online, but class C is still a little ahead of you. Was it premature?

"I thought I should definitely pick up the win"

"The first game is important, I understand the feeling well. There is no guarantee that tennis or Ping Pong will be chosen after this. If there isn't an event to save Sudo, there's no point in preserving it."

"Don't you have to replace the members?"

"It's not necessary. It's a challenge to win from the start"

Kitou, who was linked to the Makita brand, replaced the brand with Sudo.

Sudo should have been watching the game from the beginning in a separate room.

The difference in skill should already be known.

After the four-minute break, the second half begins.

Kitou stuck to Sudo, the sharpness was improved in two more rounds than before.

'After all ... Fear You've taken out of your hand!'

Sudo's voice that makes a rough voice appears on the monitor.

It was learned from the beginning that Class A loosened up so that Sudo could be taken out.

However, I can't know how much power I saved until Sudo also tried.

p. 191

Although it was a demon that hit hard, Sudo is still good on a leaf.

Find a defense and cut into the opponent's position.

If you don't, Class A students desperately fall into Class C led by Sudo.

Even if Sudo has a head out, the remaining members seem to be better in Class A.

The difference of 17 points and 13 points spreads. However, the movement of the other party is not altered, but is becoming increasingly alert.

'Oh, you're an experienced basketball player!'

'Well, you're just being driven by a group of amateurs'

'Learning!'

'There's a need to lie. Me and my friends have practiced less than a week. We seem to have confidence in basketball, but that's not a big deal.'

'This boy!'

Because there are no cheers9, the exchange of Sudo and Kitou can be heard through the monitor, but it is small.

He was rebuked that he was fighting an amateur opponent, and Sudo's move began to lose some shine.

"Fufu, it's a lie. Kitou is a basketball player."

It would be Sakayanagi's instruction, that strategy to scold Sudo.

"If you do that, Sudo-kun will collapse if you shake it mentally. Even if you say how good your personal skills are, it means that if you have an immature mind, you'll have a chance to get in."

Kitou's a pretty good student, I think. His goal was to save energy and play a close match with the C-class, with the aim of delaying the introduction of the Sudo and reverting to win.

Even if it is empty, they will defeat Sudo and begin a battle to disturb his concentration, aiming for victory.

9 Vitores: Acclamation of joy with applauding a person or an event.

p. 192

It can be said that Sakayanagi's two-piece strategy was stabbed in our C-class.

"I'll catch up soon"

Kitou attacks the goal, one by one. A class that shows a chase.

Certainly, Sudo's mental disorder has led to a close coincidence.

But ---.

"You said Sudo's heart is immature, but how reliable is that information?"

"What do you say?"

Sudo has shown great growth in the last year. It's not a spirit that breaks at that level. Horikita keeps watching the cool Sudo during the game. We value Sudo, who leads the team to victory, as great.

'Pray ora!'

'Nu!'?

Although the tone is rough, the delicacy of the work revives. No one can stop Sudo, who reaches the devil and approaches the finish line. It is decided to dive in a dazzling way and the C-class is moving away.

'Heh ... I'm getting a little hot ... I hope you beat me'

Even though he's good at it, Sudo who has regained calm is better than one or two.

"Oh, does that mean he was growing too?"

After that, Sudo was not upset until the end, and was able to attract the team perfectly.

The game ended early when the whistle rang.

"Osh! I did Suzune!"

Sudo who decides the poses of the gut and gets excited like a basketball tournament.

It is a victory from which it can be said that he has raised a prize to fill himself with joy.

p. 193

"Or I thought, but after all his skill seems to be outrageous."

Looks like she was going to go pick up the winning win even with Sudo.

The result is 24-16. The first game closes with our victory.

"Class C won first, I don't know"

As a monologue, Hoshinomiya-sensei admires us.

Although he won, this game was cut from the card on this side.

It's an event that forced us to 'Win' because Sudo had been introduced.

Part 2

The event for the second round begins. The result of the lottery is ---.

'Typing skills' 1 person required, time limit 30 minutes

We compete for speed and precision with three themes

rule - writing skills 'words', 'short phrase' 'long phrase'

Control Tower: It doesn't matter if you transmit a single error that you noticed during the test.

Another event we chose class C. The number of opponents is one by one.

Apparently the luck of the lottery leans this way.

Most PCs in our class have been promoted by a doctor who is good at relationships.

In fact, it seems to have had an enemy-free writing speed in Class C. Even with the national average, the speed was indisputable. However, there is no concern. It's too much a way to find out how many students have typing skills in Class A, or how many skills they have. It's an event where you have to believe only in the doctor's skills, but there's also a reason for adoption.

"Class C has also selected an event as interesting. It seems to be played at first sight, but writing skills are a

p. 194

essential skill in the IT society and can be said to be essential. It will be natural for schools to adopt it"

In terms of study, there's basically a minute to class A.

Horikita wanted to choose a combination of skills that was not influenced by such things.

"There are one or two things we're all good at, but it's usually suspicious if you're asked if it's absolutely better than others, even if you're fighting something you're good at. If you have enough confidence with your writing skills, you're right."

Like Onodera, who is good at swimming, many of the other students who have been proclaimed to win one by one also have the potential to shine in other disciplines. On the other hand, it is advantageous for students to specialize in a single point, such as a doctor, one by one, to carry out the following events.

Naturally, I chose .... Hideo Sotomura.

On the other hand, Sakayanagi names Yoshida Kenta. There's not enough information to say here.

The intervention event of the command tower in this test was minimized.

It's a strategy to fight without putting the sides for Sakayanagi thoroughly.

The trial method is done using an application that uses a school-prepared PC.

The result is ---.

"Class C: Hideo Sotomura, 90 points. Class A: Kenta Yoshida, 83 points. Win the Class C."

After the event, Sakagami-sensei reports the score.

The difference is only 7 points apart.

The result was pretty sloppy when you heard the results, but you can win by one point if you go up.

"Don't mess with me for a while. And it won't be easy."

It's an unexpected flow of loss for Class A in quick succession, but in a sense it can't be helped.

p. 195

The second event was chosen by Class C, and Sakayanagi had almost no hand to hit.

Part 3

In this way, the Class C that has won the first and second events.

Up to this point, Horikita's strategy, ideas and luck have been wonderfully addictive.

There are eight events left. It would be appreciated if a Class C event was selected as it is ...

"English Test" 8 people required, 50 minute time limit

Rule: Solve problems in the learning range in 1 year and compete in total points

Command tower: Only one question can be answered instead

The third was a written examination that is known to arrive sooner or later.

The heart of this special exam is how to pick up the winners at the event chosen by the other party.

If you win here, it'll be more advantageous than defeat.

I will be organized by students who are good at English, including Mii-chan. However, it is frustrating that there are inseparable letters like Horikita or Keisei. With English, math, modern writing, and three written exams, it is difficult to classify a limited number of students with academic ability.

If the written test is the second type, there are two forms of writing written in Horikita's notebook.

Use students in a balanced way to win two wins, or dare to throw one and play a point.

While Sakayanagi was making up 8 people early, I think a little more.

"For the first time, it appears that Horikita's instruction was not one."

There is no guarantee that this math test will be chosen, nor is it guaranteed to win.

However, Class C tends to be less good in English and is frustrating.

p. 196

In other words, the strategy you can take here is 'balance battle' or 'discard'.

"English strips, or ... being fighting in an all-out war?"

Sakayanagi asks that he can't suppress emotion.

It's not scary to lose here.

"I know what Ayanokouji-kun thinks. We're afraid we'll save the strength of Class A by anticipating that Class C will eliminate English, right? If he does, he'll have a C-class victory. You can't choose the option to easily throw it away."

After a little thought, I decide to rule out the English test.

"As a global trend, girls seem to be better at various subjects than boys, and seem to have a high score. This is one of those Englishmen. Of course, it's also a trend. Please go to the reference level".

Sakayanagi who says that when he was going to decide the member.

Try to plant extra information and pressure on this.

A class doesn't want to lose in English anyway. You must come as a powerful member.

Selected members will be displayed on the monitor.

Class C consists of eight people who are: 'Okiya Kiyousuke', 'Minami Hakuo', 'Karuizawa Kei', 'Satou Maya', 'Shinohara Satsuki', 'Inogas Kokhiraoro', 'Sonoda Chiyo', 'Ichihashi Ruri'. Eliminate students who seem to have no shifts in future events.

"Thinking about the future, it seems you've taken a strategy to dismiss this English. First of all, it's right."

After all, it looks good that the academic ability of Class C is understood in detail.

p. 197

Although there is only room to participate in one question, you can only watch this battle.

Student response sheets can be changed in real time.

I will teach, through participation, topics that many students will not solve.

However, this only has a slight impact. I just made some changes.

Each grade will be graded immediately, and soon after the test results will be obtained.

The total score of eight people becomes the number of confrontation as it is.

"443 total points for class C. 651 points in total for Class A. Therefore, it is seen as the victory of class A"

After all, it's the way the big overwhelming difference came out.

"The average score here is approximately 81. There was an eye to learn if class C was organizing an all-out war."

It was said that I had the opportunity to get on myself, but it wasn't that simple.

It would be better not to have the idea of a victory that might have been lost.

The courage of Sakayanagi, who kept some students unafraid to lose three consecutive games, is nothing short of excellent.

The draw of the fourth game starts immediately while the first win is held.

"Mathematical test" 7 people required, time limit 50 minutes.

Rule: Solve problems in the learning range in 1 year and compete in total points

Command tower: Only one question can be answered instead

After the English test, it was an ongoing written exam.

"The savings worked well. It's an all-out war. Or-do you want to leave it in the contemporary text?"

p. 198

Here, we don't think about contemporary writing, but we present all the academic skills that Class C can possess.

"I mentioned earlier that girls tend to get higher scores, but math is quite the opposite. Boys seem to be better than girls. It's interesting."

No matter what it's based on, this member won't change.

Seven people, 'Hirata Yousuke', 'Yukimura Teruhiko', 'Ishikura Kayoko', 'Ou Miu', 'Azuma Sana', 'Kushida Kikyo' and 'Nishimura Ryuuko'. This is a card that can be cut in class C. Horikita and Koenji cannot be used. In contrast, Class A consists of seven men, mainly men, such as: 'Matoba Shinji', 'Shimasaki Ikkei', 'Morishige Takurou', 'Tsukasaki Taiga', 'Ishida Yuusuke', 'Yamamura Miki' and 'Nishikawa Ryouko' are equal or better than before. Although it's an all-out war, it doesn't include Horikita or Koenji.

A math test that takes a short time. Unlike the latest devastating Englishman, Teruhiko Yukimura or Keisei, he has made no mistake in the answers.

Although Nishimura, who is among the lowest-scoring members, has been given an income, the development that a question affects results is not as strong. It can be said that the correct answer of the command tower is the minimum condition, considering that Sakayanagi will respond correctly without omission.

Teachers who completed the written exam and scored immediately.

The possibility is expanded if you can do these maths for this thing that chose Class A.

You can take the king's hand at the same time to fight in the fifth event.

"We will present the results of the math test. Class C --- 631 dots"

Each student took 90 points on average, too many results.

But is it a concern that the difficulty of the problem was not so high?

"And the result of Class A ... 655 points. It's a victory for Class A."

p. 199

The total score reported by Sakagami-sensei was a close defeat, with a difference of 24 points.

"You're in danger. Class C members were also studying a lot. Didn't Horikita-san and Koenji-kun have any chance of winning it?

"... maybe"

It was a disappointing result That I couldn't get in these maths. Certainly, if Horikita and Koenji came in, they could have won. However, that is not a guarantee.

But, in fact, if the next modern test of prayers comes, it will be defeated semi-automatically.

There are no students who have the academic capacity to pass Class A grades.

This is 2 wins and 2 losses. Exploits the advantage and becomes a re-matched deployment.

Part 4

A lottery will be held for the fifth event.

"Flash Mental Arithmetic" 2 people required, time limit 30 minutes

Win the class of students who competed for precision and speed using rules and syllabic ancestry

Tower in command: you can change the answer for only one question

There are 3 selected class A events consecutively.

It's usually a negative development, but this event is special. Maybe right now, somewhere in the mood, I felt like I wanted to take a leap. It's an event he promised Katsuragi to break his hand.

But it's too early to rejoice. If Katsuragi doesn't come out, he'll end up in a pale illusion.

"This is also a Class A event. It's a game you can't stop playing."

p. 200

I'll introduce "Koenji Rokusuke" and "Matsushita Chiaki" according to Horikita's strategy.

The student who gives the income is Matsushita. There is no guarantee that you will follow an income statement in Koenji.

It would be the right answer if Horikita was thinking of assigning Koenji to this flash mental arithmetic. This event has no overall score, but the rule that the class the student who got the first place wins. If Koenji moves in response to expectations, it may be possible to win the victory, but even if Koenji doesn't take it seriously, Matsushita can cover it. Matsushita had a quick head turn and was programmed to use it in math tests or mental arithmetic. It's lucky there's no victory in using Matsushita in math.

The students stifled by Sakayanagi were: 'Katsuragi Kouhei' and 'Tamiya Emi'.

According to Katsuragi's own leak, Tamiya's capacity is not as high.

An entrance is attached to Katsuragi to prove it.

"10 questions in total. It's a difficult problem to go to the back, but it's a high-scoring distribution. Only if there is a draw, overtime will be played until one of them is wrong"

The numbers will be projected on the audiovisual room monitor from now on.

The command tower can only involve one question, so there's almost certainly a problem.

Koenji has closed his arms, although the flash mental arithmetic will begin from now on.

"You got into the back eye?"

The attitude didn't change even after the exam started.

The 1-digit, 3-column, 5-second titles are displayed. Difficulty level 10.

6, 9, 1 The answer is 16.

The first question that seems to be solvable for anyone is finished, and students write their answers.

p. 201

Matsushita corrects without difficulty, but Koenji in question is blank. It's natural because he didn't even see the problem.

Here, as promised in advance, Katsuragi can be expected to make a mistake.

"Fufu. How strange."

Even if you don't see the answer, you can see in the situation that Koenji doesn't even respond.

"But as Matsushita-kun would like, there's not that much of a problem, is there?

In the meantime, the problem continues.

When it came to the third and fourth questions, the digit became double digits and exceeded six.

Matsushita responds correctly to the problem without getting confused.

It was a sudden mental arithmetic problem, but the level of difficulty rose from the fifth question that passed half.

The fifth question, 3 digits, 6 columns, 5 seconds, the sixth question, has more 3 digits, 8 columns, 5 seconds.

While Matsushita holds his head, he calculates he goes hard in his head.

And the answer you squeezed is correct for the sixth question. I was eating something.

But so far. In the next seventh question, 3 digits, 12 columns, 4.5 seconds. The eighth question is 3 digits, 15 columns, 3.5 seconds.

The ninth question has 3 digits, 15 columns, 2.5 seconds.

"No, I can't do this!"

You can see that Hoshinomiya-sensei, who looked at the problem and the students, would want to hold his head.

"The difficulty seems a little too high ..."

Even Sakagami-sensei, who agrees with that, can't see the answer.

p. 202

This is Matsushita's answer so far, but the correct answer is for the sixth question. Unfortunately the seventh question was incorrect. Koenji had all nine questions blank. The correct answer to the last question has now sunk into areas that are no longer relevant.

Of course, I remember the nine answers. Sakayanagi will be doing the same.

The command tower has the right to change the answer for a single question. If the tenth question cannot be solved, the ninth question, if the ninth question cannot be solved, the eighth question will change to the correct answer.

The point at which Katsuragi makes a mistake is likely to change the outcome greatly.

The last ten questions, the flash mental arithmetic begins.

3-digit titles, 15 columns,1.6 seconds will be displayed.

The number that flashes, appears, and disappears instantly repeats 15 more times.

For a moment, the surroundingarea calmed down.

Katsuragi and Matsushita, of course, Tamiya can't even have a pen, and she sees the problem stupidly.

Sakayanagi sends a signal for the control tower's involvement. Of course, I followed her too.

"Hey uh ... The command tower should give a question and give instructions. The problem behind it is the highest score."

Of course the question I have to answer-------------- are the last 10 questions

Matsushita honestly follows the heard numbers of revenue and writes the answer.

Because I don't know myself, there's no room for doubt.

"Fufufu. Flash mental arithmetic is an interesting game. I did it for the first time."

Koenji, Sakayanagi and I had already taken from consciousness, we had an eye open for a while.

p. 203

Koenji, who laughs interestingly and watches the surveillance camera we're watching.

"What problem did you teach Ayanokouji-kun? I'll answer the tenth question, the answer is 7619."

The answer I taught Matsushita is ---

"It's the same thing. Me too"

Apparently Sakayanagi also saw the last problem.

"With the participation of the command tower, the result is a fight between Katsuragi and Matsushita"

While collecting all the answer sheets, a man who was blank for the 10 questions opens his mouth.

"The answer to the last question is 7619, right?"

"This is ... It's amazing. Koenji-kun gives the right answer."

Sakayanagi applauds the admiration and praise for Koenji's response.

Teachers rush and tell the answers of the 4 people.

If Katsuragi corrects any questions like the seventh or ninth, we'll lose.

Conversely, if the correct answer is less than 6 questions, we will win.

"As a result of the tabulation, the first place is the correct answer 8 out of 10 and the highest score is awarded by Kouhei Ibaraki. It's a victory for class A"

The fifth event that was to collect the victory and take it on. His tactics were elevated to Katsuragi.

Along with Sakagami-sensei's statement, the fifth event ends.

"It's been a shame, Ayanokouji-kun"

"Was Katsuragi a failure?"

"There is no doubt that he has a grudge against me. It's not a mistake to put it there. But if I easily forget such a weak spot?"

Although I don't see it, I can see that Sakayanagi is smiling.

p. 204

"I told you in advance. If you make any treason, I'll have some of the students who are trying to work hard in Class A retire properly. It looked so good. I don't want to increase the number of victims to clarify."

It's Sakayanagi who has a long relationship with me much more than I do.

Both the good and bad parts of Katsuragi were well informed.

"Defeat after thinking of winning is mentally harmful. Do you have any concerns about the final game?

"Sorry"

"It's not just that Katsuragi-kun wasn't an ally in Class C. If Koenji-kun were serious from the beginning, it may have been perfect. In other words, could it have been a winning game? "

"That's it, forces that can't be controlled don't count as forces."

Just as a student with no academic ability, physical ability, or special ability is not counted as a strength, a serious student is not a strength. Both look different and the same, at least on this test.

Of course, there's also a problem with this side that couldn't persuade just to move Koenji.

This is 2 wins and 3 losses. Our C-class is standing on a cliff.

"I think this special exam will be over at the second event. I'm so sorry."

I want to enjoy more this time, I can hear the sigh of Sakayanagi.

"Now I feel like something trivial, how many wins or how many losses."

"If so, I'd like you to give the victory"

"Unfortunately, I can't do that, because it's a serious game."

Sakagami-sensei started the lottery for the sixth round.

Again, losing is inevitable if it's about attracting Class A events.

p. 205

CHAPTER 8: Class B vs Class D

Class A and Class C are in the process of tabulating math tests for the third round.

At the end of the fourth round, class B vs. Class D was coming.

"As a result, the score is 601 for class B. 409 for Class D. Class B gets the win in the fourth event."

After receiving Mashima-sensei's introduction, Ichinowas relieved.

As it was a performance test that had been chosen by Class B, it was an event that cannot be abandoned in any way.

"Don't be lucky, Ichinose. It is thanks to the Class B event that is taking place."

"... That's right.

Ichinose, who won, cannot afford it, and she cannot see any pain in Ryuuen at losing.

That's natural, too. Since, they entered the fourth and third events selected by Class B, but the result of the four events so far is an unexpected form of two wins in Class D and two victories in Class B. It was a great success when I dropped the 'chemical test' that chose Class B in the third event. The reason for the defeat is clear.

"Master ... did the students who had stomach pain return from the bathroom?"

Ichinoconfirms, Mashima will contact and verify the status of Class B.

"No, two people haven't come back from the bathroom yet. Some people still seem to complain of problems"

"Yes ..."

The cause of falling for the chemical test. The main malaise of Class B was not expected.

Not only that. Class D and some students gave up the day before the exam were also affected.

p. 206

Although I appealed to the school side, I do not give up both classes as a simple whistle.

His vicious act is undoubtedly under the direction of Ryuuen, which is opposite.

Ichinose takes a deep breath to calm down again.

"Fu ... it's okay, it's fine."

I haven't allowed my leadership yet. Ichinose, which was not well cooled due to the loss of the chemical test, begins to slowly recover. There are certainly a number of problems, but even if it is Ryuuen, nothing can be done but the participation of the command tower.

As long as we keep fighting hard, there's no loss.

I will desperately regain that trust.

"Hello teachers. I'll start the fifth event quickly. Class B people cannot monitor their physical condition on the day of the test. Aren't you going to give up on those sweet people?"

"Be careful with your words. Ryuuen Garden"

Chabashira-sensei takes care of Ryuuen, but there is no evidence of his intention.

Rather, it keeps growing.

"I don't know if it's a bathroom or something, but I can use this time to make a strategy. At the same time, it's a strange story about the physiological phenomenon. What kind of evil are you doing to Ichinose?

"Wow, I'm not doing anything to him...

Ryuuen cast doubt that several people complained about ill health at the same time.

Ichinose, who knows there is no injustice against it, has no room to refuse.

"Anyway, fast forward!

Ryuuen laughs and sends a confirmation look to Chabashira-sensei.

"Yes, that's exactly what Ryuuen says. Please continue with the fifth event, Mashima-sensei."

p. 207

Mashima-sensei started the lottery.

"Karate" 3 people required, time limit 10 minutes

Rule ? One game 3 minutes to stop the rule. Adopt the winning rule.

Command Tower ? you can play any match only once

"Oh, this time it's the D-class event. Let everyone come with your favorite boy."

Ryuuen chooses 3 people who are: 'Suzuki Hidetoshi', 'Oda Takumi' and 'Ishizaki Daichi'. The participation of the command tower was also exquisite, and we chose a means by which we could attack again if we were lost due to an unforeseen situation.

On the other hand, Ichinose selects three people: 'Sumida Makoto', 'Watanabe Norihito' and 'Yonetsu Haruto'. He was asked to practice for a week after the karate event was announced, but I remember the rules and it was almost full.

The result is easily 2 consecutive defeats. Involvement of the command tower, but the result has not changed.

The fifth event had to be resolved in a shorter time than ever before.

Class B is now gone, and the next loss is determined by defeating them in the sixth event.

"It's interesting too, Ichinose"

While waiting for the judge of the machine, Ryuuen calls Ichinose, who has been in decline.

"When the special exam was announced and you decided to go to Class D, you should have felt an absolute advantage. If you open the lid, you can only pray to the heavens."

Ichinose's strategy wasn't sweet.

If they were really crashing, they could have had three wins and two losses, including the only win they had been picking up.

Suddenly, an accident. That drove the team crazy.

If you can't get his point here, you won't win first.

And the sixth event is chosen.

p. 208

"Judo" 1 person required, time per game: 4 minutes (up to 3 sets of 12 minutes)

Follow the rules of regular judo.

Command Tower ? You can cancel the result of the match, you can redo the match only once

One of the largest for Class B is selected individually.

At this point, Ichinose felt for the first time the feeling that the front of his eyes was dark.

"Ku, Kuku, judo, judo? If you bring me more than that, but it's about Ichinose"

"That ......"

"If everything else is Class B events, you still have a chance to win."

Without hesitation, Ryuuen chooses 'Yamada Albert'.

As with the commitment of the previous control tower, with the ultimate insurance you can almost never miss.

"Don't even worry about Albert. Luck is luck in the game, I don't know until I try.

The result is more obvious than looking at the fire. It is extremely difficult to win against opponents of different physique and skill.

It's the event that only the B-Class had the feeling of giving up if he couldn't win if he turned around.

One person this time. You only have 30 seconds to select the student.

Ichinose couldn't even nominate someone anymore.

The count will flow innocently, and eventually it will reach 0.

"This event was to defeat Class A. And it's the fourth win for Class D, and the victory of the special exam is confirmed."

As a result of the sincerity statement, Class B has already been defeated by Class D.

p. 209

Part 1

From here, history goes back to the day before the special exam was announced.

Ishizaki followed Ryuuen after lunch. It was the D-class that decided to put Kaneda as a command tower, but the subsequent event was difficult.

For example, there is no one in Class D who can bring strange ideas.

Common events, common rules, common ways to fight.

Only simple development that anyone can propose can arise.

When that happens, you won't be able to see victory no matter what class you're fighting.

A matter of course. I mean, it's 'a real road'.

In the current view of Class D, Class A should be avoided from the strength level, we must be wary of Class A, or rather, it was concluded that we will face Class B.

And the confrontation with class C that naturally arises. However, it was Ishizaki who set the wait.

"Ah------- I can get some time, Ryuuen-kun"

Ishizaki was scared, but after confirming that the first grader was not around, he called him.

"Oh?"

Ishizaki becomes a layer trapped by snakes when he is captivated by Ryuuen.

But even the mouth still works hard.

"Please----- give me some time!"

"You've become great too!"

"Yes, that's why ...! "

"Kuku, that's good. The leader of the current Class D is actually you."

p. 210

For Ryuuen, time is now just extra time. Extra time at this school I was going to drop out. There's room to go out and kill time. Ishizaki travels behind Ryuuen.

Even if anyone sees this situation, it will look like Ishizaki has called Ryuuen.

Then, when he left the school building and the signs of people around him disappeared, Ishizaki sat on the floor.

"Ryuuen-kun, please lend a hand to the next special exam... for class D!"

When Ishizaki called him, I thought of Ryuuen's content, but that's a look for Ishizaki, who's sitting below the ground.

"Don't sleep, don't do it, Ishizaki. I told you I was gone. Do you think I'm going to lend a hand?"

"I know, but with our power, we can't beat other classes first!"

"That would be"

That point is not denied by Ryuuen.

It is because class D is analyzed to be overwhelmingly lower than other classes if it becomes a potential match.

"Kaneda stops at the command tower, so she won't drop out of school if she loses ... but if we lose here, our class points will hardly stay!"

"If you lose seven, it will also be inevitable"

Currently, class d class point is 318 points. If you lose 7 times, you'll only have about 100 points. In the worst case, if you just want it, the probability isn't too low.

"Well, then, put me in the command tower? That's right, which of my teammates will allow it?"

"That's ------"

To get rid of Ryuuen, you must set it up in the command tower. And there's a need to defeat.

No one is happy to let the class suffer great harm just by abandoning a student.

p. 211

If the class point is zero, going to class A is almost impossible.

On the contrary, even stable living in this school will not be maintained.

The first goal of class D is victory. And next is defeat in the closed battle, and Ryuuen's retirement.

You should avoid losing only protection points and only defeatthem.

Ishizaki wanted to win in class D and not want to leave Ryuuen.

If there's a student who can do that in class D, he's no different from Ryuuen.

"What should I do? After all, what should the C-class be?"

It's an uninterrupted option for Class C, but that class has Ayanokouji.

There is jealousy because he is one of the few students who knows the true nature of this man.

"Don't ask for your own opinion. Who told you to cooperate?"

Although it was Ishizaki who challenged with one or eight steps, it is believed to have been reckless. However, I'm not trying to solve it. I was prepared to continue until that moment when Ryuuen left.

"Class C is, of course, not very cohesive. There are monsters like Ayanokouji, but that's just an individual story. If it's a group game, you'll see the win; You'll get it wrong."

"Hmm ...? "

Ryuuen's unexpected advice that I thought was impossible.

"But if I'm a command tower, I'll avoid confrontation with the C-class. I don't know how to decide the opponent, but it's not the class I'm going to dive in and fight."

"No, but apart from Ayanokouji----"

"No relationship, so you're stupid"

"Hmm ..."

"Class D is a group of stupid and incompetent, but there is still an advantage over others. Class C is best at taking advantage of its features. No, there's only one better opponent available."

p. 212

"Who, where are they ---!? "

Ryuuen responds without seeing Ishizaki.

"Class B"

Ryuuen unexpectedly appoints a class.

"Class B is the only one who won this exam"

Here's the name of class B that I wanted to avoid in all of class D.

"It's useful depending on how you use it"

Ryuuen comes out with his back.

"Wait, wait! How, how can you beat Class B!"

Just lift your face and stop calling it

"Ryuuen-kun! Ryuuen-kun -------!"

Ishizaki's cry did not affect Ryuuen stopping...

Part 2

Ishizaki, who is said to have beaten Ryuuen, does not fall into Class D.

However, the current situation does not mean that there is no problem.

Ryuuen is supposed to have been abandoned, and Manabe, who has concentrated critical votes for a slight threat, has dropped out of school. Of course, there's no reason why there aren't any students who think this point is suspicious.

Of course, the first question that arises is who cast a large number of praise vows on Ryuuen in the first place.

Was there a boy in the class who gave a vow of praise? Who's the other class?

In class D, some reasoning comes out and disappeared, came out and disappeared repeatedly.

The special test with high anonymity does not know the correct answer.

Ichinose Class B negotiated with Ryuuen to offer him a vow of praise in exchange for offering Ryuuen's private points. That's the

p. 213

answer, but that fact has not been filtered in Class B. If Ichinose asks you to keep it a secret, your companions will obey you. It doesn't matter if it's a meaningless request, if it's a strategy to reduce denial to zero, we can't hesitate to cooperate. Suspected dark demon wrapped in Class D.

However, there are few students who know the truth. Ishizaki and Ibuki, who moved to prevent Ryuuen from retiring from school, and co-operator Shiina Hiyori. Shiina played a very important role in situations where stagnation is not surprising. I advise Ryuuen that Ishizaki was only available. The best party class is class B, faithfully performed.

It was because we talked closely with Kaneda and we conwed the conclusion naturally.

But that doesn't mean the problem is solved.

Even if Class D is incompetent it was in conflict with Class B, Shiina knew full well that the odds of winning were as slim as the role. A slight delay leads to defeat.

On the day the opponent was decided, Shiina immediately took action.

"Damn, what should I do..."

Ishizaki holds his head in a room with a karaoke room.

"I don't know, why did you call me again?

Ibuki looked at Ishizaki and sent him a similar view of Shiina sitting next to him.

"Is it just what Ishizaki-kun and his friends said having fun?"

In Shiina, who says such a thing, he loses the power of Ibuki's shoulder that made him work.

"Hmm ... you have a headache.

"If three people who know the current situation come together, it is said that two heads think better than one."

"What a house with three people coming in?"

"Don't say that"

"Ouch! Please, Ibuki, don't take your back off your hand!"

p. 214

"It's boisterous and good. It was the right answer to make the karaoke room the karaoke room."

Seeing the exchange between the two, Shiina rejoices in putting her hands together.

"There's nothing like talking about these things, because he'll come back."

"Oh, that's a problem. After this, I'm calling Ryuuen-kun."

"Hey?

The voices of Ishizaki and Ibuki overlap at a 100% sync rate.

"To win this special exam, Ryuuen-kun's presence is essential. Class B, the only one everyone avoids fighting, I saw the only chance to win."

Shiina drops a ridiculous bomb.

He didn't seem to understand the size of the comment he made.

"What did you say now?"

"Hey, so class B is the only one we have a chance to get the victory ---"

"It's not okay, who are you calling here after this?"

"It's Ryuuen-kun".

Ibuki sees Ishizaki. Ishizaki also sees Ibuki.

"Oh, seriously, is Ryuuen-kun here?"

"Yes, I asked him."

"It looks like it's going to be the worst karaoke ... what about us?

"Of course I'll tell you"

"You know we're here, will you come ...?

It had already been said that Ishizaki asked for permission to cooperate with Ryuuen.

It was natural to think so.

"Listen to him once, but what time is he supposed to come?"

"It's four-and-a-half"

p. 215

"¿...? "

Ibuki sees the clock installed in the karaoke room.

The time was 5:05.

"You seem to be a little late."

"It's been more than 30 minutes. You're not unaware, he's going to be late!"

"Please calm down and drink even with melon soda. Please be patient?"

Ibuki ignores the melon soda offered.

"Don't get along..."

Ishizaki stops Ibuki trying to get up.

"I'll wait. Ryuuen will come ... maybe"

"Aren't you an idiot? There's nothing like a child who keeps a promise."

In the midst of a long delay. Ibuki, who's sorry to be worried about this, is trying to get out.

However, a thin white hand grabbed Ibuki's arm.

"Let's wait. Is Ryuuen-kun a good person, beyond thought?"

"What do you know about that guy?"

"I don't know anything. The number of times I spoke to him, honestly it's a little bit".

"Why did he leave?"

"I just think somehow"

"It's kind of sweet, but unfounded."

Maybe Shiina smiles. Ibuki who is distracted by the innocent smile.

"And, it's a lot of fun chatting with you. Isn't that right?"

"... you're stupid."

With a longing, Ibuki sat down.

"I'm going home if it keeps taking longer."

""Entered"

p. 216

Part 3

"The limit is already!"

Although Ibuki kept his patience, he turned around at 8:00 p.m.

Even the word that it's late is lukewarm, and we get angry about the situation we ate at the end of the day.

"I wonder, did you also sing 10 songs?"

"The Ibuki-san limit is yet to come".

"It's over your limit!"

"Let's aim to get to the limit"

"No joke!"

"Bribri ira ... are you always angry and tired?

"If you look at your face, you'll get tired a million times."

Shaking on Ishizaki's arm trying to stop her, Ibuki tries to get out.

When I get to the door, the door opened itself.

"What are you waiting for, thinking you'd really come?"

A man who came in with a laugh, Ryuuen. Ishizaki and Ibuki unintentionally hardened their bodies.

They thought he'd never come.

"You're late, Ryuuen-kun"

"It looks like they're having fun."

"Yes. It's the first time I've come to karaoke, it's a lot of fun."

So you'll come back. You can enjoy it at all!"

She's trying to close the door while I'm laughing, but Ibuki stops her.

"If you drop me into the hell of karaoke, I'll skip you"

"Kuku. I'm scared."

p. 217

Ryuuen, who was drawn to Ibuki, ordered Ishizaki to order carbonated water.

After that, when he sat down, I growled my cell phone without trying to talk about anything.

"¿...? "

Ibuki insists you hurry.

"What is it?"

"You made us wait until now, aren't you going to say anything?"

"I just came to see if they were expecting me, but they still didn't leave."

Drink some carbonated water that arrived soon after.

"Nothing else!"

"How long has it been before you met Shiina Hiyori? It was a nuisance."

"You're not related to me"

"I've got it."

I hit the table hard, Ibuki hates Ryuuen.

"Oh, let's calm down, Ibuki. It's no good biting Ryuuen."

"Are you going to sit down?"

"Until a long time, I ... I decided to keep up with Ryuuen-kun."

"I'll say it. At first I hate him very much."

"Oh, don't say anything extra!"

Shiina was trying to pick a new song for the two people who voluntarily played with the bee.

"This idiot was put in your mouth and I nominated class B, right?"

"Probable"

Ishizaki shrugs. If I accepted the class consensus, I would have chosen Class C. He was the only opponent to make it possible to win.

Ishizaki twisted it, but I don't know how to win.

p. 218

"This guy did something crazy for you. In other words, you said you have some responsibility."

"Kuku, that's not the way. I've also made a resounding comment."

Laughing, Ryuuen speaks.

"Remember what I put in class B when I signed up?"

"... You're definitely trying to separate your friends, aren't you?"

Under Ryuuen's direction, he caused a waiver in class B and attempted to induce the friend of the other party.

A kind of fire that Ryuuen raised to check the potential of each class.

It is one of the events of the time when he had a fight with Sudo and was in secret contact with Katsuragi.

"What's the matter?"

"There was no effect. That class had a high unity from the beginning, didn't it?"

"Yes. They are more cohesive and united than any class."

"Then, such a general match is not a class you want to avoid as an opponent"

"I still believe it. The leader, Ichinose, and the people who talk about it are annoying."

The statements of Ibuki and Ishizaki are also Class D consensus.

"Shiina, you analyzed the B class"

"Yes ... As you say, class B is strong. All skills are above average. Above all, it is very envious, but ... ... You can say that it's just that kind of friend without any special threat."

"That good-hearted face, it was analyzed".

After hearing each opinion, Ryuuen talks about his assessment of class B.

"If you ask me, the biggest drawback of Class B is Ichinose ... No, it's the leader's absence."

p. 219

"Hey, wait a minute. I don't know what that means. Ichinose is not the leader."

"Ichinose and Kanzaki are not really leaders. They are the staff members who support the leader. As long as you put your mind on your head, you'd better keep your head in Suzune and Katsuragi, but your class will be fine. That's why there's a possibility in this rotten D-class.

"But it won't change as badly as affinity, but you can say it's the worst thing you don't want in Class D that almost all averages fall below."

"Who can fight any possibility around a small percentage?"

"... Well, do we have that much openness?"

In contrast to the stunned Ishizaki, neither Ryuuen nor Shiina have changed their grades at all.

"But ----"

Ryuuen takes the empty glass and looks at the Ibuki he can see in the future.

"Even if you design a little, the profit rate is less than 10%, and it can jump to almost 50%, as the case may be".

Ryuuen gives Shiina a folded sheet of paper.

When Shiina opened it, there were the names of the 10 events, and the five favorites were written there.

Ibuki and Ishizaki also look at it from the left and right.

"We'll launch this on test day"

"Hey, all this -- "

"Yes, that's all we have to do with the power."

Ten types of body abuse, including karate, tea ceremony, taekwondo10, kendo and wrestling.

"Wait, yes, that's why our class has some jealousy. Albert, Komiya and Kondo. That's why Ibuki ... isn't the only case?"

10 Taekwondo: stands out for the variety and spectacularity of its kicking techniques, and today, it is one of the most well-known and effective combat sports, and the most popular on the planet.

p. 220

Even if you can pick up the first and second events, Ishizaki says he doesn't know how to fall elsewhere.

"Yes, there aren't many good students in class B. If everyone can be made one by one, the story is different, but the number of people that are needed must also be changed."

There is no guarantee that you can pick up everything, even if you try to leave it alone.

"Then what shall we do?"

"Hm?"

"The required number of people is too caught. It doesn't matter."

It was Ishizaki who could not understand his intentions, but Shiina quickly realized the essence.

"Oh, I mean, let's think about things, no matter how many people there are, it depends on the rules. It only takes one person if the winning rules are adopted."

"That's right. Even if you do judo with 10 to 10, Albert will do it."

"But ... school admits?

"It's impossible for us to adopt a winning exam, such as a written test or a ball game, but for competitions like karate and judo, the winning style is commonplace. There is no problem with Karate adopting the dimension stop rule so that the danger cannot be played. Even if there's a risk of one or two, it's fine if it's full of about five events."

"Okay, you can do this, Ryuuen-kun!"

The light of hope dwells in the eyes of Ishizaki, who noticed the fact.

"So I can certainly win all the selected events in Class D. But if luck is overwhelmed? How many events in Class B will be selected?"

"Aren't you dissatisfied with 50%?"

"... if you want to cooperate with you, you want to demand a solid profit"

"Kuk, of course I hit my hand"

p. 221

Currently, there is no Class D in a position where you can win an event provided by Class B with skill alone.

On the other side, Ryuuen will say that it is necessary to close the gap.

"--- What do you mean by us?"

Ibuki finally began to understand the situation.

"It's a bad win fight"

Ryuuen responds while he laughs.

"From this day to the day before the exam, I get involved with people in class B every day. Some of them also noticed he was chasing them."

"What, it's about stressing the other part"

""Class B people will laugh at the act like a child. If there's no harm, I'll judge that I should leave him alone. Ichinose is a guy like that. After all, I won't notice my goal."

"...target?"

"Anyway, the first week will end that. And after the tenth announcement, he'll move in earnest. It is ok. I've been occupying seats and getting in touch, the voice is loud. Don't worry about anything more than you need. You know what he uses? "

It means they're introducing fights into proud people, including Ishizaki.

"Is it ... in some cases just fighting?"

"It just strengthens contact. Don't do any imitations that threaten or insult you at this stage. Save it as a trump card to the end."

He explains that it's important to make everything abstract and vague.

If this creates a bad factor unilaterally, it cannot be said that there is no intervention on the school side.

"One of my favorites is the information. I steal information from Class B students in countless enrollments and get the first 5 events selected on the day of the exam. Of course, in the class, they will be unified into 5 events that will be held at an early stage. Whether you're

p. 222

sending an email or chatting, someone talks about the fifth event. In fact, would it have to be you? "

"Oh, yes. What will be the tenth event? We're going to discuss it to find the right time."

"Yes, my mouth is closed, but my cell phone is helpless. I don't think they'll see me for myself. If you approach the test, the policy is fixed. You might know who went up to what kind of event."

"I'll say it's easy ... But is it going so well?"

"You don't need to leave it to him, but you need to guide him from here. The basis of this is a persistent link from tomorrow. They will take different measures to steal information. For example, it's this."

"What is that ..., a laxative?"

"This is a slow-acting laxative that begins to take effect after 48 hours. If you let some people drink this, maybe one or two people in the day can get sick."

"Oh, you. It's a foul, I guess."

"Then why?"

"Oh ..."

"Do you think I'm some kind of person who cares about that?"

"Huh --- Sure. You were a man who did anything to win."

"If it's a problem, I'll cover all the sins. It's easy."

No matter what penalty the school imposes on the individual, Ryuuen doesn't hurt.

Even if the class gets damaged, the same thing happens if you lose a road.

"It's like you, who originally accepted the withdrawal..."

"I told you I'll keep my bill for the trump card, but will I use the worst brute?"

"Oh, it's a bit of a daily effort to get used to being insulted by trivial arguments. It's not a bad idea to compensate for the 5 events with incompetent people with intent. Can you take it on your behalf in the day? "

Once you decide to do so, Ryuuen won't let go of your hand.

p. 223

"I'll take the command tower. It's also important to take the coldness of Ichinose."

"Devils ...... you"

"Let's take it as a compliment. Can you teach me how the D-class fights?"

"Hmm ... haha!"

"Good if yes"

Ibuki sighs when it comes to surprise.

However, Ibuki once hated herself for having a self that doesn't dislike her for some reason.

"But ... why will you take over, Ryuuen-kun? It's not just sympathy, is it?"

"Now, why not?"

Ryuuen leans on the couch and closes his eyes. There's no excuse for this school. At first, there was no lie about it, but when I came here, there was only a change in his heart.

Kiyotaka Ayanokouji. Dissatisfaction with leaving this school for losing to that man. The purpose is to make sure that he really started wanting a rematch with Ayanokouji becomes a command tower and create a confident situation. If there is no prejudice, you can choose a suitable person and lose on purpose.

But... if you really have a desire to come back, you'll try to survive on your own. Ryuuen thought of wanting to know the result.









p. 224

EPILOGY: The Thin Line Between Winner and Loser

The sixth event was chosen and is archery "two and two". As a result, Akito of the C class won. He succeeded in the lineup with 3 wins and 3 losses, online from the selected events.

Sakayanagi has nothing to comment on in particular, this event observed it quietly in progress.

That's what it had to be, three wins and 3 losses.

The next one is the last entto, the seventh round.

Its contents or mischief of the destination ----.

"Chess" 1 person required, time limit 1 hour (rest)

Follow the regular rules of chess. But the time does not increase even after 41 shifts.

Command Tower - We can give instructions for up to 30 minutes using arbitrary time

It is not a rule, like the Fisher11 rule, where time is added every time it is launched.

This is probably a plan to adopt chess that tends to increase play time. It's common for chess games to take more than two hours, but why an hour?

"With 3 wins and 3 losses, we will assume a seventh event. Moreover, this selected event will be the last .... After all, there seems to be fortune in the leftovers."

Sakayanagi will intervene in the party area and aim to send instructions to the Allies.

Maybe they'll intervene at about the same time.

As for the part of the command tower's involvement, it seems I can't beat Sakayanagi in a half-hearted skill.

"Isn't this a miscalculation for class A? There will be no way out of here."

11 Fisher's Rule: In financial mathematics, Fisher's equation is an expression that relates nominal and real interest rates to inflation.

p. 225

"Well. I can't help but admit that I've been pushed into sports."

Sakayanagi joins in, looking back at the last six events.

"But this seventh event is a little different. It will be a battle that depends heavily on the capacity of the command tower."

"Unfortunately, I'm good at chess"

From now on, Sakagami-Sensei and Hoshinomiya-sensei will witness our struggle.

It would be better to keep some lines of caution.

"That's it ... it's weird. So my chess was chosen, it could have been a failure."

But first and foremost it's a prelude. It starts from the place where a student prepares to fight.

I choose Horikita Suzune from the list of students who have not yet participated.

On the other hand, the student Sakayanagi chose was -----Hashimoto Masayoshi.

"Horikita-san also came out. The reason she was the honor student, she didn't come to this place is because she kept it until the last event."

"I no longer have to keep it as a trump card"

Both options communicate to each class and begin to move for the game.

"Isn't it right for both of you to be hydrated?"

Hoshinomiya-sensei, who cared about me and Sakayanagi who haven't sat down since the exam began.

"Thank you for your concern, but don't worry"

"I'm fine"

"Yes, I hope so ..."

Hoshinomiya-sensei sighed as if he were somehow weak, probably because he wasn't good with tense air.

"You're ready, so let's start with the seventh event, which is chess."

Under the direction of Sakagami-sensei, we stop the chat at once.

p. 226

The prepared stage is like a corner of the conference room. A chessboard is placed there.

'Thank you'

Both Horikita and Hashimoto slowly tilt their heads.

Finally, the final battle begins.

Part 1

A chessboard placed in front of me. About a week ago, I didn't even know the rules.

Now, I play the piece for the first time.

While training with him through a personal computer, he understood the depth and interest of chess.

If your opponent is Ayanokouji-kun or Sanagkayai-san, I will never have a chance to beat them.

However, it's not the two who are facing each other now.

Of course, it is unknown how good Hashimoto-kun is.

However, I can hardly think of being stronger than those two people.

"Cordial greetings, Horikita"

That's the opponent who speaks so politely.

A student who is told to be a bait even in class A.

"You're afraid. Don't you want to enjoy this situation anymore?

"I don't know who you are for Class A, which always ran for a year. For us class C this battle is very big."

"If you lose, it's a painful to spend a class point, it's the same for us"

The class that wins in this chess, will get 130 points.

p. 227

If you can get it and finish the year, this will be a really big battle.

"By the way, do you remember my name?"

"I've never spoken to you, Hashimoto-kun."

"I'm honored, talking to Class C Horikita, you're a little celebrity. Did I first know your name during the disabled island test that blew up Ryuuen?

At the time, I wasn't doing anything. It's an Ayanokouji-kun strategy that was working behind the scenes.

No.... For him it might not have been a strategy.

"I remember playing chess for a few months. It's going to be easy."

"Thank you very much. But I take at least a week."

"Ah ..."

The battle has already begun.

Even a chess story can have a mixture of truth and lies.

A battle in which everyone is controlled and the mental gaps are met.

This test is very tolerant of private language.

What was an exception is something like a written examination, where words can be the answer. The commanding towers, such as Ayanokouji-kun and Sakayanagi-san, fear that such a battle will be repeated over and over again.

And with 3 wins and 3 losses, the last event was entered.

Hirata-kun has returned, Sudo-kun was right, many people are united.

Only Koenji's case is a retrospective material, but it should be reconsidered later.

We can't afford to lose this battle.

Ayanokouji-kun recalls the ugly, blaxtic words I said before this morning's exam.

p. 228

"Whoever your partner is, there's no one stronger than me who's out of control"

He was irritated, but for some reason he is now connected to a reliable word.

If Hashimoto-kun doesn't reach him, I have a chance.

Why

I don't feel lost.

Before I fight, all I can imagine is the situation I'll dominate.

"Ready, the chess event will begin. Go get your seats."

I followed the teacher's instructions and took my seat.

Hashimoto-kun in front of his eyes did not break his smile, but his eyes were not smiling.

Victory or defeat in this event will lead directly to the victory or defeat of the class.

Hashimoto-kun seems to take that as well as pressure.

"Let's get started now"

Having said that, Hashimoto-kun grabbed the black and white pawns.

"Do you know how to decide before and after?"

"Yes"

After confirming that, Hashimoto-kun, once hidden his hand, has presented both hands.

"The Left Hand"

Hashimoto-kun's hand, which I answered, was a white piece.



p. 230

So I'm the white leader.

"I'm looking forward to what kind of first hand you're going to do"

"I don't know if I can meet your expectations"

I pick up a white piece. The touch of the piece I touched for the first time was cold.

In this way, the seventh event between me and Hashimoto-kun.

My first hand is --- E4 Pawn.

With the start of the match, Hashimoto-kun's smile also disappears.

And a black piece that starts to move. The hand back is Pawn E5.

I move the knight quickly and point to the black pawn.

In the battle I played against Ayanokouji-kun many times, take a way I trust most.

To protect the black pawn, the flow is captured by the way the other part comes out.

"I also received many instructions from Sakayanagi. Aren't you going to make an opening where the is at a disadvantage here?

From the beginning, the hands move forward without thinking about each other.

The waiting time is one hour. Ayanokouji-kun will use 30 minutes, so only 30 minutes.

I can't afford to pass the time from the beginning.

I understand I started hitting him. It's just that he doesn't get into the secure defense.

Who taught Hashimoto-kun, he's going to change tactics.

And hit an aggressive device one after the other.

"This is how you fight"

"Yes. What about the battle you got with your master"

"Oh, Sakayanagi is with me too. Did you feel the greatest feeling when you taught me? Unlike here, it seems to be solid ... but is it a self-study? "

p. 231

I'm going to find out. What do you want to get out of my statement?

"I've been playing chess for the past week. Throw everything else away."

"Hey ... were you convinced that chess would be chosen?"

"It's ok, even if you think so"

Each time the part moves one by one, the part position changes quickly.

You can do a lot of quick checks and it may seem like you're pushing.

However, this hand certainly erodes Hashimoto-kun.

"Is it true for the first week?"

"It looks like you like to talk"

"I'm just talking about my merits."

It's within the scope of the rules, whatever the story, regardless of morality.

I have no right to stop.

"Yes, a week, but I can't deny the possibility that it's a lie."

"If it's really only a week, I don't think It's very self-taught. I think, like the princess of Ouchi, do I think I've only been defeated by a guy with confidence in chess?"

"I'm sorry, I can't say I'm not there."

I don't mean to give nonsense information from here.

"Oh, that's fine. Instead, can I ask you a little bit about Ayanokouji?

That's good? The history of chess and the presence of a master, it seems that he does not care from the beginning.

Just because of the way we started talking, his favorite is Ayanokouji-kun.

Even Hashimoto-kun has begun to draw attention to him.

"What do you want to hear?"

p. 232

"I think from the uninhabited island, it's likely that Ayanokouji was behind the scenes."

I've been mentally changed

That's why he was elected, too.

"Why do you think that?"

"That's it just, forgive me. Answer me Horikita"

"Anything to answer------ I don't even know what you're saying."

"Is it like that? Looks like I'm bothering you."

"I was able to predict that when you find out I'm an opponent, you'll be shaking."

"...... Hee' "

"Every time you shake it, you can't break my castle."

A white bishop controls the king of Hashimoto-kun.

Hashimoto-kun's smiling smile disappears once.

"Can you afford to continue the talk?"

From here, my counterattack begins, which has been so silent.

"It's getting interesting...

And if you look, the trend starts to tilt towards me.

Nor is he a weak opponent. But I only gave my hand back while i'm reading here.

While the game hasn't started for 10 minutes, your hand finally stops.

First long thought. The facial expressions I could see from time to time are already disappearing.

"No, I'm strong. Horikita, I'm not surprised if you look pretty."

"You're also good at chess."

"Yes, a little more flattering. No, there's no way to improve."

I'll definitely win if I continue with this game. The flow.

It cannot be said that the player Hashimoto-kun can resume the game.

p. 233

But-------- this is not the end of the game.

Part 2

The monitor projected the confrontation between the two.

Hashimoto was attacking repeatedly in the early days, but Horikita managed to do it calmly.

Avoid the crisis while using your hands to calmly avoid the places you want to unintentionally protect.

She has made steady progress and handed her hand.

It's about to reach the middle, but it's time for the victory character to start appearing in Horikita.

Yes, Horikita is superior. He's much more powerful than when he was practicing with me.

"It's an interesting match I want to watch to the end."

Sakayanagi feels no impatience, such a voice as a gallery.

"I agree. Let's see it to the end."

"Hey, I mean ... but I can't do that. Not that I don't trust Hashimoto-kun, but apparently Horikita-san seems calm. You don't seem to know how to talk."

Time to set up? Sakayanagi's participation as a command tower is displayed on a personal computer.

It's probably because he concluded that if he took more of this, Hashimoto's defeat would be clear.

Wasn't it unexpected that Sakayanagi came in without waiting for the intermediate stage?

But that decision is correct.

If I looked back for a while, I was probably in a situation where the game would never happen.

That's why Horikita now has a strong spirit to move on.

p. 234

I was guided by the feeling that I wanted to see a little. I wanted to see their growth.

When Horikita hit Sakayanagi, I was interested in what kind of hand she's going to give back.

"Don't you go in?"

"Because if you leave it to Horikita right now, the win rate may be higher than I'm not good enough to participate."

"Oh, so here they go head to head without hesitation?"

The hand that hits the key and moves. And Hashimoto, who had been thinking for a long time, started moving like a fish that got water.

The 30 minutes of the control tower will stop the moment you press the Enter key. The time lapse for transmission seems to be considered. Then it re-tells from the moment the opponent returns.

Horikita vs Sakayanagi. Let's hope he's in line with Horikita.

If so, there is a possibility that Horikita can escape with an advantage. But it won't go so well. Sakayanagi enters with absolute confidence. From the flow to this point, it was understood that Horikita felt irritability because a hand he did not imagine returned.

So think. How to change a person more than yourself, and how to get up.

And, firmly, in the initial stage, save time and give back your hand.

"You may not have had enough time for the disabled"

Sakayanagi never thinks he's 5 seconds against Horikita's hand.

Immediately I return the first place with one hand.

The chance to win was being exhaled in no time.

There's only a few clues left. Horikita's hand stops.

And it would have appeared as immature. Feeling hopeless with the other party that can't reach power.

They're after you.

p. 235

2 minutes, 3 minutes. Horikita couldn't move anymore.

Here's the line. It's a line between the winner and the loser.

Horikita like to be pressured, so he sent a sign of involvement.

Horikita is transmitted the ingress sound.

Horikita who looked at the camera once. And then I leave all that thought to me.

Horikita won't fight Sakayanagi.

Me and Sakayanagi. Individual combat.

"I like that------- has become our party."

"Let's do it"

Time is limited to 30 minutes, but it will be enough for the end.

While Sakayanagi and I are still talking, I can't support my hand by moving the keyboard.

The time it takes for both parties to take a hand is 10 seconds to 20 seconds. When you press Enter and Send, this time will not decrease and will stop.

If you look at the flow to the intermediate stage, it is already drawn how to bring it in the future.

Relentlessly, each piece runs endlessly across the board.

"Hey, what kind of different dimension are you fighting......! "

From the other side of the monitor, Hashimoto's voice struck one side according to the instructions.

'Our fight looks unfavorable...'

'...... That's it's'

It's not impossible to be upset. Amateur and professional, there's a big difference. At first glance, it may not be clear what is advantageous or disadvantageous to the board.

No.... more than that ... As soon as you start hitting, you'll be forced to understand.

Breath.

p. 236

It's a chess skill enough to look honest and respectful.

Enter the world of chess, it's no wonder if I forget the name.

When I was young, I learned chess in the white room.

I hit a large number of people who consider theself professional teachers, but stronger than anyone else.

"How are you, Ayanokouji-kun? Has my hand reached your heart?

"Oh, it hurts a lot."

Even if you pass the middle game and enter the second half, you won't be able to close the gap and you'll be cornered.

If I make a mistake, I'll be pushed into a stretch.

"I don't have to worry. Because Ayanokouji-kun will never make minor mistakes."

"If so, you can give me a break"

"It's a query that can't be done. If there's no mistake, it's more than an ability to break the front.

Horikita and Hashimoto will lose their language and only move the pieces in our hands.

As the second half approaches ... Sakayanagi's hand stops.

If it's a normal flow, I'll know Sakayanagi's hand to hit next.

But... here is a long thought of the mystery of Sakayanagi.

We've been fighting so fast that Hashimoto gets angry.

Although the words did not come out, I might have felt it was a shred of Sakayanagi.

A freed hand after several minutes of silence. The hand drawn by a long thought was powerful.

I didn't make a mistake. I didn't want to give him a chance.

But this is ---.

This time my hand stops.

p. 237

"Oh, what a fun time. Well, I don't care about the gallery. I just want to make this battle the best in life. So I hope."

Both Hoshinomiya-sensei and Sakagami-sensei do not know how much knowledge I have in chess.

However, they seem to be feeling that they are not a single battle.

1 minute, 2 minutes. Time goes by all the time.

I've had a lot of time, I'm throwing up so much I don't like it.

'What.... you're doing, Ayanokouji-kun?'

From the other side of the monitor, Horikita's silent voice flies.

'Only 5 minutes left...!'

I know

A complex game of chess in which four people get confused in a game.

Those who were undeniably superior are now fully aligned.

My next move is a division of life and death.

No matter how long it takes to read it, it's not overused.

"You're not the kind of person who ends that, Ayanokouji-kun. Please show me."

Sakayanagi, who is only interested in getting the best out of me instead of winning.

For her, if it's for fun, it doesn't matter if she wins or loses the exam.

It took me less than three minutes. The road to the end he had once imagined was put back on the mark.

And build a new path to victory. Just before the end of 2 minutes-------.

I hit the keyboard and sent instructions to Horikita.

Horikita began to move again as if waiting for her.

A piece that flies the board hard. Again, Hashimoto's irritability.

p. 238

Unlike the soft development mentioned above, Sakayanagi's hand lengthens.

The first is 30 seconds. The next hand is also 30 seconds. The next hand is a minute.

On the contrary, I answer in a second and two seconds in that hand.

Now I am walking with Sakayanagi's hand on the way to the end of this victory.

The game's about to end. Victory and defeat will be decided after a while.

Checkmate's hand from here.

There's still a way to escape, but it's too late.

Shortly after that, there's no way out.

"It's wonderful..."

Words from Sakayanagi praising me.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes. Sakayanagi's second long thought.

As time goes on, a valuable second is trimmed, a second will be scraped.

I can't hear the voice of Sakayanagi who's been talking to me for a while.

'Hey, come on!'

Shouting Hashimoto. The remaining time is less than 2 minutes and finally falls below me.

If you have less than 30 minutes left, you have no choice but to trust Hashimoto to buy time. It's a decision of actual defeat.

'Sakayanagi! You're losing here!'

Hashimoto probably couldn't imagine a vision of running away.

Sakayanagi's time was less than a minute.

'You're really wonderful, Ayanokouji-kun. You've answered enough my hope.'

Over time, Sakayanagi praised me once again.

p. 239

"I felt for the first time that I felt cold sweat. You're a formidable enemy."

When it's all over, Sakayanagi connects.

"--------This is the end"

The words of Sakayanagi's roar and defeat cannot be heard in Hashimoto.

The command tower has no authority to end the game.

The two forwards are returned with time out, and it will be a new finish.

Or there's also a way Hashimoto continues to the last checkmate.

Either way, the fight ended when Sakayanagi showed his intention to resign.

"It was a fun fight. It's really sad to end up like this..."

It took less than 40 seconds. The calmness of Sakayanagi's voice. And at the same time you hear the sound of hitting the keyboard.

It is not a word that admits the end, but a serious hand of Sakayane who is convinced of his own victory.

'... I've been waiting ... princess!'

Hashimoto no, no ....... The attack of Sakayanagi's resurgence standing behind him.

When I received that hand, I was also attacked by the feeling that the current was flowing on my back.

The who died is revived, and breathes again.

When I hit two and three, I feel like I'm getting out of my way.

And --- if you look, this will be pursued.

If you notice, you have been invited to The path of Sakayanagi's victory.

It's a moment of silence to revisit me from the delivery situation.

Now it takes less than a minute and a half, It's in the worst position.

p. 240

Horikita who moves a piece must surely have felt the situation strongly.

The defeat of the opponent he seemed to see until a while ago. A C-class victory that was almost grabbing her.

The feeling of leaving, Horikita will have a strong flavor.

'Ayanokouji-kun ...'

Horikita doesn't raise her face and talk to me.

'I don't want to lose'

Just say your feelings.

'I ...'

Horikita talks about what I mean now.

'I ... I don't want to admit defeat ... I want to win ...'

Crying from the bottom of his heart.

'Even now, I'm thinking, thinking, thinking of a hand to win desperately.'

Horikita's irresistible cry that leaves him to emotions.

'But there's nothing I can do to go further sakayanagi-san ... only you can do that!'

I close my eyes

The remaining time is a few dozen seconds.

Last last last.

If you think about the game that will follow this, the loss will be completed in less than 30 seconds.

There's no safe route anymore. Bet on the last chance to win in this battle.

Types. A hand that I can draw quickly and securely on the keyboard.

Then I press enter and send it. The timeout count stops here.

Horikita is just waiting for a message from me to pray.

p. 241

When I sent an instruction for about 30 seconds, Horikita's eyes opened.

It seems that the signal he had been waiting for reached Horikita through the revenue.

I see Sakagami-sensei and Hoshinomiya-sensei once.

His eyes were nailed to the monitor as they watched where the chess was going.

'Can I still do it?...... Ayanokouji'

Hashimoto, who has a complicated expression like laughing and no, looks at the camera.

It will be released by Horikita.

It's time for Sakayanagi to start moving again.

"It's wonderful, Ayanokouji-kun"

Sakayanagi received the hand and expressed reverence over and over again.

"We haven't remembered the experience of fighting a complex and powerful enemy so far. I've answered everything in my hand and returned it in equal hands, sometimes with more than one hand"

Sakayanagi, who would have seen the end in response to this movement, says it and discovers it.

"The movement that Made Ayanokouji-kun was a complex movement. There's no doubt that it's an area that ordinary people can't reach."

Sakayanagi's voice, which was said to be clumsy, trembled a little.

"-----But"

Sakayanagi's voice resonates silently in the room.

"Now, my victory is unwavering".

So good to write a keyboard instruction.

Hashimoto, who continued to wait for an answer, moves the piece immediately according to the instructions.

I also advance the piece to answer it. The end is near.

Only the moving sound of the piece resonates without conversation.

p. 242

And 5... 4 ... 3 .... And finally ...

Checkmate sacrificing the queen.

Sacrificing the queen who is considered the strongest piece, the trump card that can be called at the end.

The victory of the technique has something extraordinary, but if you fail with too high a risk, your own defeat is inevitable. It's been decided at this last minute.

Horikita's hand stops.

I have a small hope that my words will flow from income, but it's also a moment.

I would have noticed myself. It's no longer an excuse, Escape Checkmate.

The result was decided.

'Ayanokouji-kun ...'

Still, there was something Horikita couldn't give up.

'Reply, Ayanokouji-kun .... I don't have any more hands ...

I'll let go of the keyboard.

'Ayanokouji-kun...!'

Horikita wanted class A more than anyone.

If you trust me, maybe you can win, I gave it all up.

These last seven battles. Hashimoto, I'd like to give up my superiority over the other side.

There's no foul in Horikita.

Horikita, who followed the income instructions, was the best.

The control tower time is 0 and communication is lost.

'... I lost'

Horikita leans towards Hashimoto so she can drip.

'Thank you very much'

Hashimoto also lowered his head to answer.

p. 243

"----Until then"

The seventh match ends with the words of Sakagami-sensei, who quietly observed the end.

"This is a Class A victory, so the result of the final special test is 4 wins and 3 losses, and Class A wins. Class C also had a big fight."

The last chess announces the end. First of all, I have to think about excuses later. It's chess I lost because I was involved like a command tower. It's inevitable that dissatisfaction will fly why you didn't leave it to Horikita.

"It was an ugly fight ... so good? Anyway, it was a big fight for the C's class."

Hoshinomiya-sensei comforts me with the same feeling.

"Are you crying in your teacher's chest?"

"Hoshinomiya Sensei"

Hoshinomiya-sensei who is telling the fun, Sakagami-sensei calls an annoying name at the point.

"You're kidding!"

I let my shoulders react and bow to Sakagami-sensei.

"But Ayanokouji-kun. Looks like you're a great kid than I thought. He corrected all 10 direct flash arithmetic questions, shared a chess match with Sakayanagi-san. In addition, the written exam scored the highest score. You made a quick turn to the bonus ... ...

After that, Hoshinomiya-sensei thinks for a moment.

"What is that? Have you ever hidden that skill?"

"I only did it this time"

"I'm sorry, by chance. There's also something ...like. Yes, I think I understand why Sae-chan sees Ayanokouji-kun. I see, you play dirty."

There are many parts that you must show in front of the teacher, no matter how hard you try to reduce it.

"We're relieved. We won't tell other students the details we saw and listened to here."

p. 244

Say yes and gently hit my shoulders. Then he came up to my ear and said:

"I wouldn't hate a child like Ayanokouji-kun, but it could be a hatred if he sees him as an enemy."

There was no smile on Hoshinomiya-sensei who was left behind in saying that.

I seem to have been recognized as an enemy of class B without hesitation.

"The exam is over. Students must leave the multipurpose room."

"Sakagami-sensei, should I go back to the room at once?"

"No, this is the end of the day. You can go home."

Apparently, it looks like we're not meeting at the same time. So thank you

"Well, students can come home now"

"Hoshinomiya-Sensei Get Ready to Clean"

"Ok"

Sakagami-sensei and Hoshinomiya-sensei have begun preparations to withdraw from the multipurpose room. Although it was a relaxed situation that did not seem to be immediately after a feeling of tension, Sakayanagi appeared slowly from the other side of the PC.

I was waiting for the teacher to leave the students.

"You did a good job, Ayanokouji-kun."

"Oh, that's it"

First, we exchanged greetings about the seven battles we had between us.

It only took 30 minutes, but I turned my head completely. The fatigue will be considerable.

"Because chess is required to be hard. Horikita-san's impressive change in the early stages and the over-the-top battle with Ayanokouji-kun. It was wonderful."

Sakayanagi with a happy face. Looks like I could do the best I can.

p. 245

"Honestly, you're much stronger than I imagined. You've lost Horikita's advantage, I'm the one who lost without complaint."

"There was no such thing, it was a very good match. Until the end, the match didn't go wrong in any way. But there's no disagreement that my hand that won divided the result, right?"

"It was a wonderful sacrifice of the queen"

Reality passed behind the monitor.

My instructions and instructions from Sakayanagi. As a result of that crossing, Sakayanagi overcame it.

No investment or miracle left there.

Certain gains and losses were decided at the discretion of the school.

Although I made a good fight, Class C lost to Class A and lost 30 class points points.

If you only look at the results, you will be slightly injured, but what about the results of the other classes?

"Is there a wish I want from you?"

What do you want?

A gentle smile, Sakayanagi looked happy.

"I was looking forward to fighting you. That's it."

Then it would have been nice to have met me too.

It's awkward to have long conversations and see Sakagami-sensei. It also has a seat.

As he tried to get to the door to leave the room, the acting director, Tsukishiro appeared in the multipurpose room.

"Yes, you showed me something really good".

"This is Acting President Tsukishiro. Did you see the special exam?"

"Yes. We are in a position to manage the school side so that there is no injustice. In the separate room, we observe disputing the participation of the two as command towers and all the consequences of the game."

He applauds us as he honors both of us.

p. 246

"This is exactly the same as a match between two teams, which is one step away. We, as a school, have taken very good data. I am convinced that this game will be a great asset from next year."

When I saw the eyes of interim President Tsukishiro, I've been seeing him pleasantly.

Everything can only be understood without having a conversation.

"It was good if you were satisfied, Tsukishiro acting as interim director"

Sakayanagi leans down. Sense fullness more than anything that this battle was established.

"Are there any conclusions in classes B and D?"

"Yes, about an hour before you"

It's a pretty quick decision.

"Who won?

Sakayanagi for interest asked the results.

Class D won with 5 wins and 2 losses.

Has Ryuuen defeated Ichinose? This is a 190-point change.

Class D, won't Class C come back to life?

And we're also going back to Class D.

"Ichinose-san had a hard time defeating you. Well, there's no unreasonableness."



p. 248

Without Ryuuen, the first place would have been class B.

Did you work for yourself? Or is it for the class?

In any case, it means that change has begun to be born.

And at the same time, it's also a threat to Ichinose.

"Let's all leave. The special exam is over. Please leave the room."

Sakagami-sensei and Hoshinomiya-sensei along with Tsukishiro, acting as director, encourage the room to leave.

"But we have post-processing----"

"It will correspond to this side"

Interim President Tsukishiro sent a signal and several workers entered the room at once.

"Who are you? You're not school officials, are you?

Suspicious, Sakagami-sensei asked him again.

"The government seems to want to know the test data this time soon. They're people sent for that, please don't worry."

If the interim president says so, he has no choice but to draw as a teacher.

As they hurry, they get up and leave the room multiple uses with us.

The teachers walked without worrying about us when they returned to the teacher's room.

On the other hand, Sakayanagi looks at the workers in a suspicious way.

However, the multipurpose room door is closed and you can hear the sound of a polite lock.

"Are you worried about something?"

Tsukishiro, the interim president did not stay in the multipurpose room, asked Sakayanagi.

"No, nothing."

"Safe?

p. 249

Well, --- I'm going home too. When I confirmed the cell phone, I received a message from Horikita.

'Thank you'

Such a short message. Complaints will be heard again later.

"Sakayanagi"

I try to leave my words lightly ...

"-Could you wait a moment, Ayanokouji-kun"

"What?"

As I walk down the hall, Sakayanagi stopped calling me.

A shadow began to be seen in the expression of Sakayanagi, who had soaked himself after the victory.

"You really thought it was the best and that was the last thing that lasted?"

Last of the last one. There seems to be a question at the conclusion that I have reached the end of my long study.

"You've really won. What else is there?""

"No ... I am sorry. I just imagined something extra"

"Aren't you glad you won me over?"

"There is no such thing, but I may have hoped to lose you somewhere in my heart."

That's another weird idea.

"I have to say it, but I haven't pulled my hand"

"Yes, I know."

However, Sakayanagi appeared to be trapped somewhere.

The image I was seeing for myself could have been bigger.

"You are a cruel person, Ayanokouji-kun"

Tsukishiro, acting in front of the multipurpose room door, threw those words.

Sakayanagi looks back. It was too late to turn around.

p. 250

When he smiles kindly, Acting President Tsukishiro walks beneath us.

"You're a cruel person."

"What does that mean, acting as interim president, Tsukishiro?"

Instead of me, Sakayanagi asks.

"What's there to answer?"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'd like to tell you something honestly."

Because I finish the 'need' in the multipurpose room, it is not enough.

"That game, it had prevailed that Ayanokouji-kun originally he should have won."

He spoke words that cannot be abandoned, Sakayanagi cannot eat.

Why does this man take his own risk? Are you trying to say it?

"What do you mean? Actually, I lost."

"Yes, that's right. Certainly that's the way the facts were."

It is a way of saying that Tsukishiro's character as interim president is understood.

"But the process is different, right?"

Sakayanagi who was listening in silence also begins to understand the situation. And I realize that.

"What nonsense ... did the school side intervene strongly in the examination of our students?"

It's extraordinary, not discouraged. Sakayanagi's wrath was unmistakable.

"You can't do that, Sakayanagi. Since I didn't keep my word, it resulted in giving Ayanokouji-kun a point of protection. The only way to get rid of it is to use a somewhat brutal form. Anyway, here 'School' for that"

I see, for good, do you make a meaningless loot?

p. 251

"That's it. If everything was carried according to this thought, I can abandon Ayanokouji-kun at this time, but it seems that there are many teachers who enthusiastically apologize at this school. I'll burn my hands."

The last instruction I entered on my computer.

However, it takes about 30 seconds to type and stream from the keyboard.

The time spent with the instructions that should have been delivered in about 10 seconds until now.

The reason is that he was crooked and given an automatic voice of income.

Operated from inside the computer, I did the process and the result differently.

"At that moment I was going to point out another place. It was more than a hand that seemed to be the best, and a better hand. This was also preparing a large number of people and machines, I was forced to make a very difficult decision."

If he changes his hands badly, it won't be natural in everyone's eyes.

To avoid that, it is said that the difficult side was also forced by Tsukishiro.

"In that sense, Sakayanagi-san who read this hand was also wonderful."

It's not praise or anything anymore.

"Why don't you apologize, Ayanokouji-kun?"

"It's useless when I'm being lawyers. No, I can't tell you in the first place."

It's easy, Explains Tsukishiro.

"Who's from the White Room, and he's forced to dive into this school, but he doesn't want to excel."

If you let me know I was involved in Tsukishiro, it'll become an unpleasant problem.

It's a very scary story, but the situation is that there's no choice but to go to sleep.

p. 252

"I'm sorry, but victory is victory. How happy are you?"

"... You're a good provocateur, acting as acting president. But, --- is the price expensive?

With an angry smile on his face, Acting President Tsukishiro applauded briefly again.

"A freshman from Koudo Ikusei High School talks about something interesting. Because you're a general of your mountain. Have you grown that much?

Originally, I don't want to make Sakayanagi an enemy if he's a student on the same ground.

However, for this man, it will only be visible to the child who hits a large mouth.

"If the price is high, please give it a look now. Let's go early.

Nothing can happen, after a slight silence.

"Well, I'll stop soon. The adults are very busy."

Tsukishiro the interim president began to walk, stood between the two.

"If possible, choose to leave school. You're not going to get involved with other students anymore."

With those words, Tsukishiro advanced the corridor. Sakayanagi also walks slowly afterwards.

"He was too white. It's very unpleasant."

"Bad"

"It's not to ask Ayanokouji-kun to apologize. I am disappointed in what happened when an adult stormed the children's situation. I've been struggling with my best memories.

There is no sign of concern that victory has become a wound.

It seemed that he could not forgive the wounded against the game.

"Just --- Don't you think this is unreasonable?"

Sakayanagi who stopped her foot looks at me.

"That's true."

p. 253

He intended to keep silent the intervention of the interim president, Tsukishiro, but as a result, it may be good to put it in Sakayanagi's ear. Even in oneself, a small catch remained.

"Please play with me from the continuation, just before you get screwed by him"

It's easy to disable Sakayanagi's advice here.

But I felt like I was going to break some Sakayanagi. And my own something too.

"It seems that there is no reason to refuse. But where do we play?"

"Do you know there's chess in the library?"

"No ... it's my first i hear about it."

"I use it occasionally to play chess, let's play there"

With no reason to object, we moved to the library.

All the courses will already have completed the special exams, today there will be no one in the library.

In the quiet library with a chessboard.

We decided to use a small table for two people and put a chessboard there.

Sakayanagi was good at reproducing the last situation.

"Now, it's the same situation as that time. Show your real hand"

I'm holding the piece and the advance to the position where it was supposed to be hit.

Part 3

The game of that era passed without exchanging words.

During sunset, only black and white pieces continue to make noises.

But that's only for a very short time.

It didn't take long for this battle that started from the final game.

p. 254

It's time to finally get there. Sakayanagi breathed silently as he gazed at the board.

There's no way to fend off checkmate.

"It's a shame, Ayanokouji-kun. This game seems to be my defeat."

On the one hand, a part of the game divided life and death.

Sakayanagi was defeated in a satisfactory manner, as to what was not a complaint.

"It's pretty simple".

"Can you look like a woman of high pride who doesn't admit defeat?"

It's probably a lie if it doesn't seem honest.

"What I wanted to know was which was the top and bottom. I wouldn't imitate dissatisfaction with the result."

"You may have won, but this is just a reproduction. At the time, there was no guarantee that it was the same game that was being played at the time."

We cannot exclude the possibility that the time was born to think of new hands.

No, especially ---.

"This is the dominant station Horikita created against Hashimoto. It was a substitute for me to see her on the road. I didn't think I played a very egalitarian match."

The development done on this chessboard was done only because Horikita had taken it to the lead. Sakayanagi's ability to reverse the situation of an adverse situation is certain.

If you play chess from scratch, there's no guarantee he'll win.

Even if they offer you a game, if they let you escape, you want to escape.

"Do you intend to comfort me?"

Sakayanagi laughs and smiles.

"That's not the case. I just explained the facts objectively."

"I'm satisfied with the results. So, isn't that good? ".

If you're satisfied, that's fine. But this is unclear.

p. 255

"When this special exam was announced, I was able to compete directly with you by focusing on an individual event. If you suggested it to me, I could only accept it. Isn't that right? "

Of course, the seventh random game of the tenth. There is no guarantee that you will always be chosen. However, if the others were in a one-to-one agreement, it would have been achieved with a high probability.

"This is a trivial reason. There is absolutely no guarantee that it will be made as an assumption of Ayanokouji-kun. And if you do a one-on-one confrontation with me carelessly, you'll suspect the surrounding area. All of them have been used by the acting president."

Sakayanagi didn't forget to take care of me, she took as much care as possible on the special exam.

That's why I was really angry at Tsukishiro's intervention.

It can be predicted that the seventh event chosen today and its turn were probably not completely random.

A completely fair fight could not be made.

"And Hashimoto-kun, who thought was the most chess talent in Class A, was defeated by Horikita-san. That means I've lost."

Sakayanagi slowly lowered her head.

"Ayanokouji-kun. It was good to fight you. Now I saw an answer in me. You couldn't be an unambiguous genius. You're not a fake person."

"Don't you think you're taking revenge on chess?"

"Do you want me to think about it?"

"... No, I don't think so."

"Fufuf, you're honest"

The quiet game was done this way, with a very rare and limited time.

The special exam is over and now it's time to take a long vacation from tomorrow.

"This is why I don't come ... To be honest, I judged that our chess skills were almost the same. If I played 10 times in the game, it would be strange to have 5 wins and 5 losses. No, is my comparison wrong?"

p. 256

"Not exactly".

It's interesting that the skills are in competition.

If the match is repeated, it should be the result Sakayanagi said.

"But at the first event I felt that Ayanokouji was a little more powerful. At the time I thought I was losing. Well, for Ayanokouji-kun, the history of chess is a little longer. Surely that's the difference"

Sakayanagi says it's important where you win, with some points you hate without losing face.

"When it comes to getting revenge in chess, the game is no longer fun. Chess is a fun pastime, I just want to keep it to that extent."

Sakayanagi talks about taking the gentleman's piece.

"After all, you looked at my story in chess."

"Yes, I have been looking at Ayanokouji-kun, who was overwhelmed by his opponent in the white room. Since then, I started playing chess. I thought we'd face each other someday."

The intuition I felt when I saw the Class A event was correct.

It's not just a coincidence that chess was chosen for this event.

"Hey, let's go home soon.

"I'm going to clean up. Please sit down and wait."

"Thank you. I'll be sweetened with your words."

I'll return to the original position with the piece and the board.

"It's a shame, but from now on I'll get away from Ayanokouji-kun. I'll be obsessed with you forever and you'll be suspicious to your classmates. Of what ..."

"Of what?"

"I can't stop wanting to meet you. It's a kind of childlike feeling that I've been chasing for a long time, I've never encountered myself. The value also fades".

p. 257

He looked at me to love me and smiles.

"I don't think there's time for students to fight each other, given the role of Tsukishiro, who's acting as interim president."

This end is a fall. At this school, students must compete with each other.

Even if there are similar conflicts, it cannot be said that there is no intervention again.

Rather, he'll use anything to block me.

In that sense, I'd appreciate it if you weren't cautious.

If you are full of enemies in all directions, fatigue will be significant. Two people leave the library room.

"If you think about it, it's the first time two people have gone home like this."

"If you say so"

There's always someone around Sakayanagi.

On top of that we walk side by side, the usual idea is that it can't be easily reached.

"I'm sorry for walking slow"

"That's not to apologize."

Certainly the pace is slow. It's because Sakayanagi holding his cane.

But strangely, I felt like I was appreciated today.

If you walk normally, you'll reach the bedroom at any time.

"What are you going to do in the future?"

"You can only see the appearance of Tsukishiro. Even if he acts as interim president, he won't accept bad hands."

"Yes, that's why it's not easy for my father to recover."

"What are you going to do?"

When she hears that, Sakayanagi seems a little thoughtful.

p. 258

"First of all, I'll spend my time having fun. If Katsuragi-kun rebels against me, I'll fight him. If Ichinose-san comes, it would be interesting to break it again and play. If I drop out of school, I'll see a collapse in class B."

She smiles like a girl who innocently plays the pair of dolls.

"I can't see Ryuuen-kun's movement at all. If he gets back in front, I'd like to fight him. If you look at it this way, you can live a surprisingly boring student life."

"You'll be fine"

"What will Ayanokouji-kun do?"

"I hope I can get up and act, if possible. I hope Horikita does his best."

"It seems that she is amazing about her growth. I'm waiting for you too."

One day, Sakayanagi's mouth will be able to keep his name as an observed opponent such as Ichinose and Ryuuen. That way, Sakayanagi should be even more fun.

"There's one thing I have to apologize for."

"Excuse me?"

"I told you why I wanted to avoid face-to-face grief before, but that was a lie."

I mean, I was being considerate of saying that to keep me from being the center of attention.

But she withdrew that statement

"Being honest, I wanted to be in the same place as you, if only for one more second."

He said as he extended his right hand towards me. I took her thinking it was a handshake, but she put her left hand on mine.

"People learn about what warmth is when they touch each other. It's a very beautiful feeling. The warmth of another human being is by no means a bad thing. Please remember that."

"What do you mean by that?"

p. 259

"It's just a somewhat late message from me."

Although I didn't understand it, she slowly let go of my hand and started walking.

I said, "Well, let's go back."

Looks like he didn't want to explain what he meant.

We watched the sunset as we returned.

"Oh, by the way, have you heard? Yoshida-kun of class A -- .

We didn't have a relationship where we could talk about the old days.

With no particular purpose or purpose, we only sincerely exchange stories about our daily lives.

Until the moment we get to the dorms.



Words of the Author

It's been four months. It's completely regular, 4 months.

Nothing changes even if it becomes a reprimand. That's your costume.

Volume 11 is over. The main story of the 1st grader has ended this time, and has become a flow to the closing ceremony safely, but it will be the story of spring break next time before 2nd grade. It will be a book that will continue to see how students changed over the course of a year, including the meaning of the summary.

And... there may or may not be progress in love. How

Anyway, the first thing I want to say is that I've finished writing the main section of the first grade edition... missing the  PAGE:!

Originally, 10 and 11 volumes originally moved with a one-volume plan, but isn't it impossible at all?

If you write it down, it'll increase. There were a lot of things I couldn't write in two books. I always start writing about 300P and how to fill the volume - I start as I do, but when I realize, I feel like I'm repeating what often happens.

So I think I'm going to do a story that I just thought about with volume 11.5.

A little talk from here.

When you meet industry people very rarely, do an SNS or something because you don't know what you're doing. And you can ask for more of your voice. A few years ago I used to blog because of my work, anyway, I don't like that hand. I think it's as good as I'll talk about later in this post.

What I usually do is play golf at work. In addition, golf never goes to the course (neither good, nor cheap nor strong) and only takes about an hour to finish. But I do, because I'm satisfied.

Even if I did an SNS, it would be unimportant content.

Well, it's the end of no glare!

p. 271

See you next time!
