PR: Graze, Regular Days, Catalystic, Josh-Kun, and Puffypyjareeted us as we returned to our own classroom

”Hey, how's Class B? It looks like a lot went down”

”It went in an unexpected direction Ichinose htforward account of what had happened

The truth behind the rumors about Ichinose and the details about the ban the school had placed on spreading ru forward

”There should be an official warning during class this afternoon”

”Shoplifting huh? It's surprising to say the least, but I guess I can accept that If there's a pastaround that you don't want to face, it's only natural that you would take some time off school like she did”

Haruka, now fully informed on the specifics of the situation, spoke words of support for Ichinose

”In any case, the whole ordeal is over with this We can put all these rureat Kiyopon?”

”Well… I guess”

And then, ?”

”A nuistered”

I showed my screen to Haruka and the others It was a different nuht a little while ago

I got up from my seat, took some distance from everyone else, and answered the call

”hello?”

”Is this Ayanokōji-kun?”

I recognized the owner of the voice ii

”How do you know ure out”

”Yeah As there are still about tenout to meet me for a moment?”

It would've been easy to decline, but it also would've been troublesome to make time to o?”

I walked out into the hallway

”Well, how about in front of the first-floor entryway?”

”Okay”

I ended the call and headed to the entryway

I thought that Hashi+i was alone when I arrived there

”Do rest assured, there's no one else with ht now I must say, you've really outdone yourself this ti about?”

”It seeone and made your move behind the scenes There are still a few unsolvedabout what happened back there That said, there's one thing that I've been curious about Why did you decide to protect Ichinose-san?”

With that, Sakayanagi stared atfor my answer

”Wait I don't understand what you're talking about”

”Simply because you saved Ichinose-san, she became defiant… no, she was able to stand back up on her oo feet again I can't iine any other reason for what happened Perhaps it's possible that this wasn't the first ti Perhaps she already told everything to someone beforehand?”

”And you think that someone is me?”

”Precisely”

It was a completely natural conclusion for her to arrive at

”Didn't you use Kamuro to force me to take action?”

”Use Kamuro-san?”

”Before Ichinose's past as a shoplifter was revealed, she toldshe did of her own accord”
