Classroom Of The Elite 33 Classroom Of The Elite Vol 45 Chapter 3 (2/2)
Horikita added more force to her words It's not like I don't understand how she feels but the water bottle stuck to her arm simply makes it look uncool
It's just, I'll need to correct Horikita's idea a little here She's still at a pree
”I can understand how you feel but that's no good, right?”
”Do youthis without any evidence that she's betrayed us?”
”That's not it I' it's all your responsibility I'll just assume Kushi+da did betray us in fact, if we assu her to betray us Adding on, even if Kushi+da did betray you, you had to win at all costs A?” I asked her
She understood it clearly, yet in response to this difficult deainst it with her own correct answer Horikita, against this unreasonable attack, makes her objection
”Don't be unreasonable Do you understand just how unrealistic that is?”
”Unrealistic? I don't think so Let uided the group to outco This is an area you cannot succeed in half-heartedly In other words, in the previous exaards to Kushi+da, with a difference in between your capabilities and hers”
Of course my statement had assumed Kushi+da had indeed betrayed us, in the case that this is not true, that statei, I don't knohich but with a on) group to bon had been taken Even in that case, the fact that Horikita had been outset” in your class And so you were so confident of your victory that you did not take any further actions If so, the responsibility for that lies with the people on the sa for Class A, you need to be able tosos of frustration But even so, this is the path you chose And besides, you'veto you e first met you absolutely wouldn't have even heard ht Slowly but steadily, Horikita'sto develop into that of an adult
Unlike e first
”I get it already I'll accept the results of the exaht now the iet this arm free”
That's correct, this seems like a situation where so
”I'll try relying on Sakura a bit” I said
Since it's getting late, rather than calling her I decided to use the chat to call out to her
”Sakura, I think you're also aware of the water outage proble water inmachine's also all sold out, if you're fine with it would you share so sent theread
”This is no good Maybe she's asleep but it doesn't seem like she's noticed”
”Honestly, we're coht now don't you?”
”If I wanted to wait another day in this state I wouldn't have even called you”
I suppose that's true She probably wants to get it off as quickly as possible
”If so, that means you also have no choice but to take suitable risks too”
”suitable?”
While on guard, she asks that Horikita too, most likely, also understands this in her head
”We'll leave this rooo to Keyaki Mall where we can utilize water There's no other way” I said
”So it's going to be like that in the end”
She put her hands on her forehead, but it doesn'tridiculous
”Right now this period isa bath and other various things so it's our chance”
As a matter of fact, before I came to this room, before I went down to the cafeteria, I did not encounter a single classmate of ours If she cannot hold on until 12 o'clock there's no other choice but to take this much risk at least
”I can't take this risk Can't you ask your friends?”
”Unfortunately that's iether to the karaoke They're not here”
”Honestly I don't mean to repeat o noe can end this in a poof”
”W-wait I really can't go outside like this”
”Then do you want to hide your hand with soh”
”That kind of joke is unnecessary”
”I-I get it I'll apologize so put down that hand you're raising”
Since she ain, I panicked and quickly tooklike a cloth?”
”Cloth? If it's a handkerchief” Saying that, Horikita brought out a white handkerchief from a shelf
As I took it from her, I covered it fro it bluntly this is suspicious More than that, I feel the length of it isn't enough” Although less if the tip of the bottle is peeking out
”Do you have anything bigger?”
”If it has to be soer, it'll have to be a bath towel” This tis out a bath towel I placed it on the arm with the water bottle
”Well if it's this it should be” It's just, it'll be aoutside with a bath towel in hand
In a sense, it would be a lotan arm trapped inside a water bottle
”It's a little unstable, if I walk the bath toill fall off”
”Shouldn't it be fine if you hold it doith the other hand?”
Having folded the bath towel, she gave off an ih she were about to enter the bath If it's like this, yeah, it looks a lot better
”If a third party were to see my situation, what kind of impression would they have?”
”Let's see”
Firstly as a premise, nobody would walk around in the doro outside Naturally one would wonder And then if I were to stand beside her, it would be an even greateron the situationI wonder For instance,the bathtub in ht be too much of a leap but since I myself saw it that way, I said that
”Rejected” She reht up with that kind of suspicious doubt
”How about walking while putting your hands inside your bag?”
”I don't even want to ihtly better idea?”
Even though we're in a pinch she's still first-class when it coo like this? It'll be light and there won't be anything to fall off like a towel or a handkerchief”
”let's see” Rather than wasting ti up this and that it's better to sihtly hesitant Horikita with me, I stepped out into the corridor
”Ok, there aren't any signs of people around Let's go”
”W-wait a minute I haven't put on my shoes properly yet” Since she could only use one hand that's taking up a lot of ti spent some time, the two of us head into the corridor
”There's a faucet on the road to school, isn't there? If we can ht”
If alk at a normal pace, we should arrive there in 5 minutes
Since the situation is the situation, itas we can leave the dormitory, under the cover of darkness it would be fine We made it to the front of the elevator Since both elevators weren't et on them as well
”It's useless, Ayanokouji-kun We can't use the elevator”
”What?”
”There's a surveillance ht? I don't knoho's seeing it”
Indeed on the 1st floor, the footage captured by the surveillance ca displayed on aseen on it
Even if she can poorly hide her ar thee
”Then do you want to use the stairs?”
If we're to descend from this point, it would take quite a bit of time And the fact that one of her hands is unusableanyone see this cluure of mine, I'd rather choose the stairs” Horikita said
After weighing struggles and danger on a scale against her pride Horikita chose pride
There are two eency staircases, each one located equidistantly froo past the doors of the student roo a Horikita who see, we headed towards the staircase Along the way, if I had to borrow Horikita's words ”what a day” In other words, it's an unlucky day I heard the doors to the roo About three roo
”T-this is bad That's Maezono-san's room”
Maezono of Class D, huh? No doubt one of the people Horikita does not wish to encounter right now But there's no roo, it wasn't Maezono that came out, but her friend Kushi+da I wondered if this was yet another unexpected incident for Horikita
”Thank you Kushi+dsan I'll repay the favor next tiht Maezono-san”
It seems she came to play in Maezono's room Perhaps Maezono meant to see her off from inside, but I couldn't see her face As the door closed, Kushi+da, without realizing the presence of me and Horikita, headed towards the elevator
”That was dangerous”
”Right”
If she had only looked back, Kushi+da would have noticed our presence Uncomfortable sweat starts to form In any case, this place is too conspicuous We have to head out through the eency exits as quickly as possible
But as we took the next step, Maezono's roo, you forgot so that Maezono came outside Naturally, Kushi+da turned around
”H”
”Y, yeah”
There was a brief exchange of words but it seeot Kushi+da heads towards Maezono
And of course, Maezono also inevitably notices us Horikita turns rigid Receiving both Kushi+da and Maezono's gaze, she becoot your phone”
”Ahh, sorry Thank you That saved o Ayanokouji-kun There's no need to stay here for long”
Saying that nohile Kushi+da's attention is focused on her forgotten belonging, this is the chance, she uses the tip of the water bottle to push my back I suppose if this form of hers is seen, Horikita's pride would be torn to shreds
While being pushed, I reached the eency exit and attempt to open the door
However---
”It won't open”
”It's a joke, right? There's no way an eency exit won't open”
”No, it seriously won't open”
Locking an eency exit is normally prohibited so this is probably---
”Where are the two of you going?”
Perhaps she was curious about the two of us atteency exit, Kushi+da, having finished her business with Maezono, approached us
”That's, no We were just thinking about going down using the stairs”
That was a reason I didn't understand well, but there was nothing else I could have answered with except that
”If I reht now so you won't be able to use it It would be dangerous in the dark I think the west one would be usuable?”
”I see So that's how it is” Horikita, without atte behind my back
”Horikitsan feels different than usual, did so happen?”
Kushi+da called out to her like that On top of that it was past her own roo to come all the way in front of us Perhaps Kushi+da's actions were also conveyed to Horikita, she answered with a slightly loud voice
”There's nothing wrong in particular”
Those words of Horikita included a wish toPerhaps they were conveyed, but Kushi+da stopped
”I see If there's anything troubling you, please tell me Earlier, Maezono-san also seee and so she wasn't able to use the water I have ht now it see Horikita wants
If she chooses to ask now, she would be able to get her hands on it easily but---
Using the tip of the water bottle like the ainst ive me if I relied on Kushi+da
”Then Horikitsan, Ayanokouji-kun Good night, both of you”
”Ohh, good night”

Using the eency staircase, it's taken us quite a bit of time to descend from the 13th floor to the 1st floor There was the possibility that the lobby would be crowded due to the water outage but fortunately neither students nor ado if it's now”
”Yes”
Through the entrance, bothout before us we could see severalThey don't seem to be Class D students, however, it didn't h time to leave the dorm itself, she turns her back as if to return
”At this rate they'll see us”
Slowly their presence approaching the dorer Perhaps it would be better to return to the eency staircase In a panic, we opened the door to the e come this far, will our misfortune turn into a chain offro carefully, it appears to be aon perhaps the 3rd or 4th floor that's descending
It's often co on the lower floors to not use the elevator It's not strange even if they used the eer able to ascend up the stairs, ere forced to hurriedly turn back towards the lobby
”There's no other choice but the elevator!”
”Is that ok? You'll be seen on the monitor”
”I'll have to use you to cover myself Since we know the position of the camera we should be able to do it”
It would certainly be a strange thing, but it's certainly not an impossible task It was a method I would have liked to avoid if possible but since there's no longer an escape route, I have no other choice
We quickly get on the elevator that's supposed on the left side of the 1st floor And then, as I quickly stepped in front of the cahost and hid her arhtly on theIn any case we need to leave the 1st floor I randomly pressed a button to make the elevator ascend
”For noe're safe butthis is just the start”
”I'll just give up This isn't a state where I can just go outside Since I've coe is fixed”
I felt it was a bitter decision she had made, but Horikita seems to have concluded as such If that's the case, we'll just have to return to the 13th floor I cancelled the random floor I had pressed and pressed the button for the 13th floor
No more trials should befall us As both me and Horikita felt relief somewhere inside us, without any notice it ca until now, suddenly slows Recently whenever I get on an elevator, good things never happen, so I did not even have ti It's neither a breakdown nor athe button This is---
The elevator caht, a student on the 5th floor had pressed the elevator button NoHorikita's abnore number of people crowd the elevator is likelier to keep soh, there was only onein front of the door as it opened Of all things, to run into him
That man, whether he's noticed us or not, strides into the elevator with his usual, unchanging elegance Not even sparing us a glance, he made a beeline for theinto the ins to check his hair for any abnormalities
””
Horikita also seemed to be stunned at the existence of this man who seemed to be co out a coan to set his hair
”Elevator Boy, I shall request the top floor”
While staring at his reflection in the mirror that manthe student of Class D named Kouenji Rokusuke, said that to s I wanted to interject then, but right now, it's better to shut up and obey him I silently pressed the button to the top floor as the door to the elevator closed We once again ascend
Perhaps Kouenji has no interest in us while checking his hair, but he showed no signs of paying attention to us It was natural if ere coers, but even so, ere classlance at least would have been norained a narrow escape from certain death If it's Kouenji, he would have no interest in Horikita at all so he would not notice the water bottle
Now all we'd have to do is not commit any actions that would attract his attention and spend this brief while That's all And even if by solance at us, Horikita had adjusted her body position toher position in the caed to cover herself from Kouenji
The elevator passed the 10th floor I did think what business he had on the top floor, but I can't ask that I did think, unexpectedly he o there but we made it all the way to the 10th floor As the elevator doors slowly opened, both me and Horikita almost si his eyes off the mirror, Kouenji continued all the way up to the top floor Although we ed to avoid further problems, Horikita, after a brief, fast walk, returned in front of her room
”It's io around walking outside, cautious of the surroundings in this state”
Saying that, she suddenly went back into her room Sheher, I also entered the roo, my phone vibrated
”I' and I didn't notice”
From Sakura, a response like that came back to ht? Of course it's ok Would a plastic bottle be enough?”
”That's et it now?”
”Yes, I'll be waiting”
Sakura replied like that Whenever I talk to her directly in person, it's hard to continue a conversation but when it's through the chat, it flows really smoothly
”Rejoice, Horikita It seeot her consent so I'll be going now”
”Thank you Please do make sure not to tell Sakursan about ure, do you mind if I take a commemorative photo?” I asked her
Since it see the water bottle at me, I panicked and quickly ran into the corridor
”What a fearsos it down on my head I could die”
It would leave a stain on h school girl whose aro It's off”
After overco the water bottle from Horikita
”Honestly this was a totally disastrous day”
I had time taken away from me by a water bottle, I could understand the need to feel such things
”Ayanokouji-kun, take care not toyou'd like to say first?”
”thank you”
Honesty? Not really, but it seeratitude
”But even so, not being able to take your ar completely unlike you Horikita”
”Leave ot into because I like it”
Well, it was a danger lurking close by Or perhaps it just means you can never tell ill happen next in the world Having been urged to leave her room quickly, I started to return to my room
But really, is it even possible for an aret out? I took it out of the box, rinsed it ater and put my hand in it to test it out When I did, it seemed to be quite a hazardous size and unexpectedly my ar”
I became an idiot for a moment and then tried to remove the water bottle from my arm but
”I-I can't pull it out!?”
