The masterpiece of the white room has escaped. Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is now on the run.
Towards the end of his training, he was being taught how to act like a normal, upstanding citizen. He now acts very kind towards others, and will always do the rig...
"Does anyone want to grab lunch with me in the cafeteria?" I asked the class.
Instantly, hands shot up around the room. Around half of the class wanted to eat lunch with me.

We went off in the direction of the cafeteria.
I had to be careful with how I spent my points now. After the karaoke yesterday, I had about 90,000 points left, not including the cash in my dorm.
As I was talking with my classmates, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see a beautiful girl with short, beige hair and crimson eyes standing in front of me.
"May I help you?" I asked.
"Hey, you're Ayanokouji-kun, right?" She asked.
"Yeah, that's me. Why do you ask?"
"Oh, good. My name's Kushida Kikyou, from class 1-D. It's a pleasure to meet you," she said, bowing slightly.
I returned the bow.
"So, what brings you to me, Kushida-san?" I asked.
"Well, I heard that your goal was to get along with everyone in school. As it happens, that's also MY goal. But, unfortunately, I've hit a bit of a snag in that regard," she said, looking a little forlorn.
That was strange. I couldn't see why normal people wouldn't want to be friends with this girl. She was charming, beautiful and cheerful. But...
I sensed something was a little bit...off with her.
"What kind of 'snag'?" I asked.
"Well...there's a girl in my class called Horikita. Horikita Suzune. When I asked everyone in my class for their contact information yesterday, she was the only person who didn't give me hers," she said.
Ah, yes. Horikita. Well, I had to congratulate myself a little. I had successfully outdone a girl who was actively trying to be popular.
"And, I noticed that you were walking to school with her this morning. Are you perhaps Horikita's friend?" She asked.
"I'm everyone's friend, Kushida-san, including Horikita's. Would you, perhaps, want her contact info?" I asked, taking out my phone, insinuating that I could give her what she sought.
"Oh, if it's not any trouble," she said.
"No trouble at all, Kushida-san. My only condition is that you wait for her to message you first," I said.
She nodded.
After gaining Kushida's contact info, I sent her Horikita's number.
"Thank you very much, Ayanokouji-kun. Please call me if you ever want to hang out," she said, walking away.
