Chapter 085 One Expelled from Class C / You Two Know This Move / Chiaki, Hurry Up and Unite with Akira
Class 2-C. The final expulsion task.
Sakagami Kazuma read out the result flatly: "First vote: 8 in favor, 32 opposed. Entering the ten-minute free discussion interval."
"Wait! The last question is actually making someone get expelled?!"
"As expected of the grand finale question."
Ryuen Kakeru stood up from his desk and grinned: "Interesting. There are actually 8 people who voted in favor just like me?"
He scanned the crowd and commanded: "Hey, you other 7 people, raise your hands and let me see."
During the first four tasks, Ryuen Kakeru had been forcing the people in the class to follow his opinions, yet this time he actually asked the people who voted in favor to raise their hands publicly, which left quite a few people somewhat dazed.
But Ryuen Kakeru was the leader of this class after all. After about a minute passed, a few people sequentially raised their hands.
Nishino, Kaneda, Ibuki... a total of 6 people.
Ryuen Kakeru looked at this scene with a half-smile: "6? In other words, there's still one fellow who doesn't dare to show their face? Hey, who exactly is it?"
He walked up to the podium, came before those classmates' seats one by one, and whispered a few words of quiet probing.
However, whether it was because Ryuen's probing methods were too clumsy or because this bunch of classmates had mouths that were too tight, after tossing and turning around a full circle, he still couldn't find the last person who had voted in agreement.
"Hiding pretty deep, you just wait for me! Fine! In order not to waste time, then it shall be the 6 of you taking turns to say why you agreed to the expulsion."
Kaneda Satoru adjusted his glasses: "Although choosing an expellee is not a good thing, being able to obtain one hundred class points is clearly advantageous to our class.
The method to swiftly increase one hundred class points is right before our eyes, so naturally I agreed.
I purely just want to increase class points, so that the personal points obtained in hand each month can also be ten thousand more."
Before long, five people sequentially spoke out their thoughts.
Only Ibuki Mio was left alone.
Ryuen Kakeru stared at her: "Ibuki, what about your reason?"
Ibuki Mio let out a cold snort: "It's very simple. There's a fellow in the class I detest, and I want to take this opportunity to vote her away."
She questioned back as a matter of course, saying: "Ryuen, you asked so many people and you voted in agreement yourself, so shouldn't you also talk about your thoughts?"
Ryuen Kakeru grinned and laughed: "My reason for favoring it is very simple: discarding one person allows us to obtain a hundred points. Being able to dispose of the person who has been dragging the class back all this time, and being able to get class points, what is there to hesitate about?"
Ishizaki Daichi raised his hand and asked: "Ryuen-aniki, do you mean for us all to choose in favor as well?"
Ryuen Kakeru said: "That's right, that's exactly what I mean."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Shiina Hiyori, who had been maintaining silence ever since the special exam: "Shiina, you shouldn't be singing a contrary tune to me, right?"
Shiina Hiyori put down her notebook, shook her head, and said: "You are the leader of the class. What this unanimous vote exam tests is the cohesion of the class; the sooner it is completed, the better. Then, next, I'll just choose in favor as well."
Although Shiina Hiyori and Ryuen Kakeru expressed their stances one after another, the second round of voting results was still 35 votes in favor and 5 votes opposed.
In the third round of free discussion, Ryuen Kakeru frightened the classmates in the class a bit.
Finally, in the fourth round of voting, everyone in the entire class chose in favor.
Sakagami Kazuma nodded: "Unanimous consensus reached. Next, entering the second stage... designating the candidate for expulsion. Each person has one opportunity to volunteer, or you can choose to cast a recommendation vote for the student name displayed on the tablet. If no one volunteers and no one's recommendation votes exceed half when the intermission ends, a student will be randomly selected for voting according to the rules explained beforehand."
Many classmates could not help but look toward Ryuen Kakeru.
After all, it was Ryuen Kakeru who forced the class into the expulsion phase; he must already have a candidate to expel in his heart.
Who would have thought that Ryuen Kakeru laughed and pointed to himself: "Hey, you guys just cast all your recommendation votes for me next."
Komiya Kyogo widened his eyes: "Boss, what do you mean? You can't be planning to sacrifice yourself to fulfill the whole class, right?"
Ryuen Kakeru glared at him: "Get lost! I'm not that kind-hearted. It's just that I haven't thought of who to expel for the time being. In short, designate me first, and then the rest of you just all choose opposed. In this way, I will forever be in a state where I will absolutely not be selected, understand?"
The rules indeed stated that if an option was completely opposed by the rest of the entire class, then this person would absolutely not be selected during this task. Last time when using protection points as an analogy, losing eligibility forever was a bad thing; but this time, switching to the person being expelled, it undoubtedly became a good thing.
Only then did the crowd react, sequentially casting their recommendation votes for Ryuen Kakeru.
Entering the voting phase.
The first voting result: 17 votes in favor, 22 votes opposed.
The final result, however, was not what the crowd thought. There were actually seventeen people in the class who agreed to let Ryuen Kakeru be expelled.
"Hey! What's going on with this? Didn't big brother agree to let the entire class choose opposed?!"
"Exactly! There are actually seventeen people who feel Ryuen Kakeru should be expelled? Are you guys serious?"
"If this class loses Ryuen-aniki, can it still compete against the other classes?"
Who would have thought that Ryuen Kakeru burst into loud laughter instead: "Interesting. So inside this class right now, there are still seventeen people who genuinely want me to leave? It actually occupies nearly half?"
Ishizaki Daichi was stunned: "Big brother, you're not angry? Like this, aren't you still on the expulsion list?"
Ryuen Kakeru let out a cold laugh: "I merely used myself as bait on purpose to test the real attitude of the people in the class toward me. For this unanimous vote exam, isn't that exactly the school's intention? It's not a majority vote; only when the entire class uniformly votes for one person can that person be expelled. There are still twenty-two people opposing, what do I have to panic about?"
"Ah... that's true too. But who exactly are these seventeen people?"
Ryuen Kakeru walked onto the podium and patted the desk: "Since it's the first time, I can let bygones be bygones. You guys keep voting for my expulsion until I clean the list completely.
But let me tell you, next time I see someone voting for my expulsion again, I won't let them off easily."
Very soon, the second voting result also came out.
15 votes in favor, 24 votes opposed.
There were still people voting in favor, only two votes fewer than last time.
Ryuen Kakeru looked at the result: "Interesting. It seems you fourteen people genuinely want me to be expelled?"
He walked to the front row once more, staring at the expressions of the classmates one by one.
The vast majority of people looked at him with composure, but there were also a few people who averted their faces with a guilty conscience.
"Manabe Shiho... you woman also cast a vote in favor for me?" Ryuen Kakeru grinned and laughed, calling out one of the names.
He looked again at Yabu Nanami and Yamashita Saki to the side: "And you two as well."
"I'm not..."
"Ryuen, you've misunderstood..."
The expressions of Manabe Shiho and the other two instantly turned panicked, and they wanted to justify something.
However, Tokito Hiroya took the initiative to jump out.
"No need to guess, Ryuen! I am precisely that person who cast the vote in agreement for you. You've used violence against the classmates in the class since the first day school started last year, forcibly dominating the class with martial force. I feel you are unsuitable to stay in this class. What is wrong with wanting to expel you?"
"Tokito? You fellow have been disobeying my commands since the first day school started." Ryuen Kakeru stared dead at him, "You really dare to admit it. Do you feel you can still stay in this class? Want to die?"
Tokito Hiroya bit his teeth: "So what if I can't stay? At worst, I will fight it out with you! In any case, it's not just me alone; there are still sixteen people who agree to let you be expelled!"
Tokito continued to incite the other classmates: "Since there are sixteen people who agree to Ryuen Kakeru's expulsion, I beg everyone to stick to your own thoughts! The rest of the classmates as well! Have you guys really never been bullied by Ryuen? This is the best opportunity to make him get expelled! Vote quickly!"
However, Ryuen Kakeru did not stop Tokito's vote-canvassing behavior this time; he just sat in his seat with a cold laugh, as if watching a farce that had nothing to do with himself.
The free discussion time passed quickly.
Most people indeed still cast their recommendation votes for Ryuen Kakeru, and the third round of voting still revolved around "whether to let Ryuen Kakeru be expelled."
However, this time, the result was unexpected.
The third voting result: 2 votes in favor, 37 votes opposed.
"What! How did so many people suddenly withdraw?"
"How come there are only two votes left!"
Ibuki Mio widened her eyes, failing to react.
"Hiyori, what exactly is going on with this?"
Shiina Hiyori wasn't particularly surprised: "It should be Ryuen-kun's stratagem."
Ryuen Kakeru walked onto the podium and laughed out loud: "Idiots!"
Tokito Hiroya was completely stunned, only now reacting: "You... you! Could it be that you deliberately let a portion of the people in the class vote in favor? How is that possible! When did it happen?!"
Ryuen Kakeru looked at him with a half-smile: "Naturally it was during the first vote. Taking advantage of the opportunity to find out the people who voted in agreement, I handed down instructions to my subordinates to first choose in favor to vote for me, vote in favor for the first two rounds, and subsequently change back to rejection. That way, the restless people would take the initiative to pick themselves out!"
"You despicable fellow!" Tokito Hiroya cursed angrily.
This bastard actually arranged for people in the class to act in a play just to fish him out!
Had he known there weren't that many people who agreed, he wouldn't have dared to admit it to his face for anything.
"Despicable? In my view, isn't this exam just letting the class seize the opportunity to ferret out the disobedient people and vote them out? I merely did what the school expected." Ryuen Kakeru stared at him, "Tokito Hiroya, if you want to blame something, blame yourself for having no brains. If you kneel down right now, kowtow, and apologize, I might also give you a chance to survive."
"Ryuen! Consider it my loss this time! Expulsion it is then!" Tokito Hiroya had a fiery temper; he slapped the table, putting on an appearance of 'do with me as you please, whether to kill or to hack.'
Ryuen Kakeru ignored him further, instead scanning the whole class: "So, who is that remaining person who voted in agreement for me? Even if you don't speak up, I will verify it
one by one afterward. It's best to stand out on your own initiative. Rest assured, I won't be angry. This time, let's just let Tokito Hiroya be expelled."
After over ten seconds passed, Manabe Shiho then raised her hand somewhat awkwardly.
"Actually... it was me."
Ryuen Kakeru walked up to her: "Interesting. Manabe, it was actually you who voted for me?"
Manabe Shiho let out a light cough: "I actually planned to choose opposed... my hand just slipped. Ryuen, you must absolutely not be angry. I am different from Tokito Hiroya; I have supported you from beginning to end."
Ryuen Kakeru nodded: "So it was just a misunderstanding. Then fine, easy to negotiate, easy to negotiate, you sit down first."
Manabe Shiho let out a sigh of relief and sat down.
Ryuen Kakeru stared at those two people for a few glances. He looked first at Tokito Hiroya, but in the end, he looked toward Manabe and said without any hesitation: "So, everyone in the entire class, hurry up and cast your votes for Manabe Shiho."
"What?!"
Manabe Shiho bounced up from her seat abruptly.
"Ry-Ryuen... didn't you just say..."
"What did I say?" The malice in Ryuen's smile was distinct, "I said easy to negotiate, easy to negotiate, letting you sit down first. Did I ever say I wouldn't vote for you?"
"You!! You lied to me!"
"Lied to you? Manabe, you can't really think that an excuse like a slipped hand can deceive me, right?"
Manabe Shiho's face turned from white to green.
"Ryuen-aniki," Ishizaki Daichi opened his mouth carefully, "Manabe has supported you all along after all. This time might really just be a slipped hand..."
"Slipped hand?" Ryuen Kakeru cast a glance at him, "The first vote a slipped hand, the second a slipped hand too, and the third round of voting also a slipped hand? Is her hand smeared with oil?"
Ishizaki Daichi was choked up and unable to speak.
Manabe Shiho clenched her fists, still attempting to justify herself: "Wait a moment! Ryuen, this isn't right! Didn't you say you were going to vote for Tokito Hiroya? That person openly challenged you. Although I voted for you, at least I didn't openly go against you! This time you should vote for him instead!"
Ryuen Kakeru walked in front of Manabe Shiho, looking down at her from a height: "At least Tokito Hiroya dared to stand out and clash hard with me, and also had the consciousness of being expelled. What about you? You only dare to stealthily pull small stunts behind my back. Furthermore, you couldn't have forgotten, right? This year when I spent ten million personal points to buy you back, you promised with your own mouth that you were willing to sacrifice yourself to exchange for the class's benefit when necessary. Expelling you, isn't that very normal?"
Manabe Shiho's face completely lost its color.
That transaction—that's right, she had indeed agreed to it. Back then when Ryuen Kakeru produced ten million personal points to fish her back from Class A, she was moved to tears and promised without any hesitation that she was willing to do anything for the class.
But she didn't expect that 'anything' would come so quickly.
"Ryuen.... you spent so many points to buy me back, and now you want to make me get expelled again? Isn't that a waste?"
"A waste? Manabe, do you know what investment is called?"
"What?"
"I bought you back initially because the class needed a numerical advantage. Making you get expelled right now is because the class needs to kill the chicken to warn the monkey. With you getting expelled right now, I lose an unstable factor. This account is not a loss no matter how it is calculated."
"You... you this..." She glared at him in anger.
"Me this what?" Ryuen Kakeru bent his body down, "I actually gave you a chance; it would have been fine as long as you chose opposed to me during the third round. It's that you yourself are useless, you can't blame anyone else. You probably felt that if I were voted away, that contract wouldn't take effect anymore, right? But unfortunately, as long as you are still a student at this school, that contract is always valid until you are expelled."
Manabe Shiho turned her head abruptly, her gaze like a drowning person looking for the last piece of driftwood.
She looked first at Yabu Nanami.
"Nanami! Help me say a word!"
Yabu Nanami gave a shudder all over, "Manabe... I.... I can't help you!"
Manabe Shiho looked again toward Yamashita Saki.
"Saki! What about you?! Are you also going to play dead?!"
Yamashita Saki shrank entirely into her seat, "Manabe.... sorry... but I don't want to be expelled!"
"Do you think I want to?!" Manabe Shiho screamed and said, "Back then I stuck my head out for you two and offended so many people?! You two treat me like this right now?!"
No one answered.
Manabe Shiho's tears could not stop falling down.
"Kaneda!" she called out.
Kaneda Satoru pushed his glasses, "Manabe, this is the decision of the entire class, not the decision of any single person. Please understand."
"Understand?! You're letting me understand?! Then why don't you go to hell?!"
Kaneda Satoru did not speak any further, merely shifting his gaze outside the window.
"Ibuki!" Manabe Shiho turned again toward Ibuki Mio, "Don't you detest Ryuen the most?! Haven't you been going against him all the time?! At this kind of time, why aren't you speaking up?!"
Ibuki Mio said with an unfriendly face: "Manabe, it's not false that I detest Ryuen, but I detest you even more, okay? You actually dare to seek help from me?"
With her face red and swollen, Manabe Shiho ultimately still looked toward Shiina Hiyori: "Shiina... Shiina, you have to help me a bit! You helped me last time, you can't see me die without saving me this time!"
She thought the kind-hearted Shiina Hiyori would give her another chance.
However, Shiina Hiyori said with a rare calmness: "Manabe-san, I have no way to help you anymore. You owe that contract after all. I personally feel that it might instead be the best method to reduce sunk costs for you to leave this school as early as possible."
"What bullshit sunk cost! You just want me to go to hell! Bastards... a bunch of bastards!" Seeing her last hope shattered, Manabe Shiho began to abandon herself and shout abuse recklessly.
Ryuen Kakeru leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, watching this play from beginning to end.
"Alright," he said, "The buffoon's play has been watched to completion. Voting continues."
The tablet screen lit up, and Manabe Shiho's name hung lonely upon it.
Sixty seconds.
This time, no further accidents occurred.
In favor of expulsion: 39 votes.
Opposed to expulsion: 0 votes.
Sakagami Kazuma closed his tablet and said in a business-like manner: "Manabe Shiho, expulsion confirmed."
In less than a minute, two staff members walked into the classroom and held down Manabe Shiho, who had already begun to lose control.
"Let go of me! You guys let go of me!" She struggled desperately, "That fellow Ryuen made me do quite a few things to frame other people, that is violating school rules! If there's an expulsion, take him along too—"
The staff members did not pay attention to her shouting, dragging her toward the doorway one on each side.
The classroom fell into a brief silence.
"Alright, all classes have already concluded this unanimous vote exam. This special exam is officially finished. Next, I will return the phones to you, after which everyone can leave the classroom and return to the dorms to rest." Sakagami Kazuma swept a glance across the classroom and said with rare comfort, "There is no need to be too sad either. Manabe Shiho was indeed not quite suitable for our class, and to us, these one hundred class points are also very important. Next, you guys can prepare well for the sports festival."
After Sakagami Kazuma finished speaking, he began to distribute the phones.
The students stepped forward one after another, taking their own devices from the teacher's hands, subsequently exhaling a long breath and slumping onto the backs of their chairs.
Ishizaki Daichi wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead: "...It's finally over. I wonder what the situation is with the other classes."
Ryuen Kakeru gave him a kick: "Didn't you hear that the other three classes were done long ago? Estimates are they all voted opposed."
Before leaving, Sakagami Kazuma sent the current class points situation in the group.
Class 2-A (Shimizu Akira's class): 1380 + 50 = 1430 points
Class 2-B (Sakayanagi Arisu's class): 1241 + 50 = 1291 points
Class 2-C (Ryuen Kakeru's class): 887 + 150 = 1037 points
Class 2-D (Ichinose Honami's class): 852 + 50 = 902 points
Close to what Ryuen guessed, the other three classes only obtained the 50 points after completing the task; only their class obtained an extra 100 class points because of voting someone out.
However, the classes of those two fellows, Shimizu Akira and Sakayanagi Arisu, were still far ahead, short by nearly three to four hundred points.
The only good news was that their class retained a lot of personal points.
Right now, Class A still had to pay him 740,000 personal points each month.
The reason why it was forty thousand less than before was precisely because when he signed the contract with Class B initially, it was agreed to transfer twenty thousand points per person. Now, Katsuragi Kohei and Totsuka Yahiko had both transferred to Class D, plus Sakayanagi Arisu hadn't signed the contract in the first place.
Speaking of which, at the thought of Katsuragi Kohei going to Class D, Ryuen Kakeru felt a surge of discomfort for no reason.
In fact, he had previously thought about buying Katsuragi Kohei to his own class to serve as a deputy. Although he himself was adept at producing quite a few plans to entrap people, he was not adept at stable and step-by-step secure schemes, and Katsuragi Kohei happened to be a suitable candidate.
He heard that behind this matter, there was also effort contributed by Shimizu Akira.
It was this Shimizu Akira again, ruining his major affairs.
Ishizaki Daichi walked over with a face full of worry: "Ryuen-aniki, for task one we chose Shimizu's class, what exactly are you thinking?"
"Being able to obtain extra class points if we beat him, and being able to take revenge, on what grounds should I not choose him?" Ryuen Kakeru let out a cold snort, "I've found Shimizu Akira an eyesore for a long time!"
"But... last year you said so several times." Ishizaki Daichi murmured in a low voice, "You said the same when going to the rooftop. The result was either you lost very miserably or you were beaten very miserably. Can we really win this time?"
Ryuen Kakeru's face turned black with rage, "Can you fucking say something pleasant to hear? Are you my little brother after all, or that fellow's little brother!"
"Aniki, I am definitely your little brother!"
"Get lost! I don't want to see you these two days."
"Don't be angry, Aniki! Didn't you agree to fix that Yagami Takuya? A week has already passed, and we can finally make a move these two days!"
"Tch, true! Just right to let that kid Yagami Takuya taste the flavor of an iron fist first before talking!"

After the unanimous vote special exam finished, Shimizu Akira packed up his things and left the classroom directly.
Just as he walked to the entrance of the dormitory building, he discovered that Hasabe Haruka and Sakura Airi were standing at the entrance of his room.
As soon as they saw him coming over, the two slowly moved forward to meet him, taking hold of his shoulders one on each side.
"Akira-kun!"
"Akira..."
Shimizu Akira produced his room card to open the door, and the three walked inside together.
He closed the door and said with concern: "What's wrong?"
Hasabe Haruka kissed him generously: "It's that Airi has some words she wants to say to you."
Sakura Airi walked in front of Shimizu Akira, her cheeks slightly red, standing on her tiptoes to also give him a kiss: "Mm... during the exam process, although I had psychological preparations long ago, when hearing that one person had to be expelled, I was still a bit afraid. Fortunately, it's finally over... it's all thanks to Akira-kun, thank you."
Shimizu Akira took hold of the two people's hands and sat down by the bedside: "There's no need to thank me either. This expulsion task was unexpectedly smooth, finishing in the first round, wasn't it? If you want to thank someone, thank Kikyo."
"That's not it at all, you are a meritorious official too." Haruka snuggled against him, "If Akira-kun hadn't spoken about the expulsion matter ahead of time, letting Kikyo-chan make various preparations in advance, how could things have gone so smoothly."
"I think so too." Sakura Airi tightly hugged his shoulder, "And previously it was all Akira-kun helping me and Haruka improve our OAA comprehensive ability. If I had really become the absolute last place, and didn't have as many connections as Ike-kun, only knowing Haruka alone... everyone might really have voted for me."
Shimizu Akira could not help but look at Sakura Airi a couple more times.
Her whole person had distinctly let out a sigh of relief, wearing an appearance of a weight off her shoulders.
It could be seen that even if told about the expulsion task ahead of time, this unanimous vote exam still placed too much pressure on Sakura Airi.
Shimizu Akira pulled her hand, took her into his embrace all at once, and comforted her, saying: "Don't be afraid, Airi, I'm here. Even if Kikyo couldn't control the voting, I would spend twenty million points to protect you."
There was nothing much to say about this matter; personal points, in his view, were insurance used at this kind of time.
Leaning in his embrace and feeling that temperature which caused one to feel at ease, Sakura Airi then said shyly: "Thank you... Akira-kun, I feel much better."
"What is there to thank for this? We are boyfriend and girlfriend after all."
Haruka looked at this scene from the side, smiling unconsciously. She also pressed over, leaning against Shimizu Akira's shoulder from the other side. The three people just squeezed together by the bedside that wasn't considered spacious.
"Akira-kun, what do you think Kikyo-chan is doing right now?" Haruka suddenly asked.
Shimizu Akira thought for a moment: "Probably talking with Horikita. When the exam finished just now, I saw the two of them walk to the back of the classroom."
"Ah? The two of them?" Haruka blinked her eyes with some surprise, "Since when did their relationship become so good?"
"It shouldn't be considered good either." Shimizu Akira said, "Perhaps... a bit better than before."
At least after the special exam finished, these two had also spoken quiet words.
Sakura Airi raised her head from Shimizu Akira's embrace, "Akira-kun, do you know? Before the exam started, I actually thought... what if I were selected."
She plucked up her courage to speak out the most important words: "I thought for a long time, and finally understood. If I were really selected, I wouldn't regret it either. Because before coming to this school, I had never made friends, and had never been treated like this by people. Haruka, Kikyo, you, you guys let me know that living is a thing worth looking forward to.
So," Sakura Airi revealed a cute smile, "Even if it was only for such a short time, I also feel I've gained. This strength will also support me to go do various things, right."
After hearing such touching words, Shimizu Akira merely flicked her forehead lightly: "Airi, don't let your thoughts wander. It's impossible for you to be expelled. If you leave, what about me? You can't really want to make me drop little pearls, right?"
Haruka sniffed her nose on the side, also following along to make fun: "Exactly! If you leave, what will Akira-kun eat!"
Sakura Airi's gaze became resolute, "It's that I let my thoughts wander too much. From now on, I won't make Akira-kun sad, absolutely never again."
After finishing speaking, she actually began to take off her clothes.
The corner of Shimizu Akira's mouth twitched: "Speaking is speaking, what are you taking off clothes for?"
Airi pressed her fist against her chest, "I thought back and forth... the method to thank you can only be this."
Shimizu Akira cast a glance to the side, and Hasabe Haruka also nodded as a matter of course.
"Makes sense!"
"You agree too?"
"Airi is my important friend after all." Haruka said with a beaming smile, "Wanting to properly thank one's boyfriend, we can only do this, right?"
She pressed in front of Shimizu Akira cheerfully and slowly squatted down.
Shimizu Akira originally thought she was going to give a few kisses, but he didn't expect that she directly took off the clothing of her upper body.
It was the sound of rustling clothing removal again.
Shimizu Akira was gripped all at once.
"Wait a moment, Haruka, where did you learn this move from?"
"From inside doujinshi!"
This school actually sells this kind of doujinshi?
The corner of Shimizu Akira's mouth twitched. He cast a glance to the side and discovered that Sakura Airi had also knelt before him at some unknown time.
"Airi?"
"Akira-kun... as long as it makes you comfortable, I will do anything."

Outside the dormitory.
Karuizawa Kei was completely prone against the door, having already heard the hums that caused one's face to flush and ears to heat up.
"Dammit! This time we were beaten to the punch by those two women again! Clearly school just ended, and dinner hasn't even been eaten yet, starting so quickly." She hummed with a red face.
Turning her head, she suddenly discovered her close friend Matsushita Chiaki walking toward the elevator side.
She hurriedly waved her hand: "Chiaki! Over here!"
Matsushita Chiaki had no choice but to walk over.
"What's wrong, Kei?"
"You're still asking me what's wrong? I'd rather ask you instead!" Karuizawa Kei put her hands on her hips, "What exactly is your situation? This second semester has started for nearly a month already, how come your progress with Akira-kun is still stuck at the stage of kissing?"
"Isn't it because there hasn't been much opportunity." Hearing those sounds inside the door that ran wild with one's imagination, Matsushita Chiaki's face turned red, "N-No rush..."
The activity inside the door seemed to grow even larger.
Karuizawa Kei felt that Haruka and Airi must have heard her speaking at the doorway and did it on purpose! She hurriedly pulled Chiaki's hand and said: "Still no rush? I don't care! You must unite with Akira-kun during this period of time!"
"Ah?!"
"Ah what ah? What, you don't agree?"
"It's not that I don't agree... okay, I got it."
"Mm! Good! Better and better, when the time comes the two of us will also partner up together like this to look for Akira-kun!"
Matsushita Chiaki was too ashamed to speak out.
Being so right and self-confident?
Three people together..... is it really okay?
But don't you say, listening to the activity inside the dormitory... especially the voices of Hasabe Haruka and Sakura Airi that were growing more and more sweet.
Could it be that it's actually unexpectedly not bad?
