"That... Is just wrong." Yume frowned.

I wasn't exactly pleased to hear that from him.

"Before we talk, why don't we put an end to this ridiculous charade, Kushida-san?" I asked.

"Kushida-san?"

The students glanced at the frozen girl.

"So I was right to assumed that she was the traitor." Katsuragi crossed his arms.

"What do they feel, I wonder?" Sakayanagi placed a finger near her lips.

Students looked at the shock Class D.

"Huh? Charade? What in the world do you mean?" she replied.

As the setting sun colored the school building, I stared directly at her.

"If you want to pretend to be a good person, I don't particularly care. But you're not, are you? You leaked the information. That's how Class C was able to pull off what they did. That's why I'm here right now, like this, with Ryuuen-kun. Am I wrong?"

"Kushida-chan leaked our participation table?" Yamauchi trembled.

"This was a future where Kushida was trying to expell Horikita, huh?" Ayanokoji said. Matsushita looked at him.

"What about now?" She asked.

"Huh?" Ayanokoji looked at her puzzled.

"Are you going to expell her now?" She repeated.

Ayanokoji pondered on the question. "It's a waste of resources to discard a thing that still have their uses, Matsushita."

In short, While Kushida's useful, I can used her for my own benefit. Her actions will also be a deciding factor.

"Come on, now. Who did you hear that from? Hirata-kun? Ayanokouji-kun?"

"Neither. These are my own feelings on the matter. I couldn't shake off my uneasiness. Ryuuen-kun's the only one here right now. Don't you think it's time we cut to the chase and confront each other?" I asked.

"Confront each other? What do you mean?"

"Way back at the start of our first semester, I saw you trying to convince Kouenji-kun to give up his seat on the bus. To be completely honest, I didn't recognize you. But immediately afterward, I remembered."

"Koenji-kun?" Mei-Yu looked at the narcissist blonde hair boy. She glanced away blushing when Koenji catches her.

"That was where you met Horikita-san again?" Sato asked Kushida softly.

"Y-yes." Kushida shakily answered.

I looked Kushida-san square in the eye as I spoke. If she was working with Ryuuen-kun, she'd continue to conspire against me. The only reason she hadn't yet acted more directly was that she thought she didn't have to.

"Kushida Kikyou-san, you attended my junior high," I said.

Kushida tense when she heard that words. 'Will my past be finally show?'

Class D saw her tense and decided to pay more attention.

"They attended the same junior high?" Sakayanagi looked thoughtful.

"Who knew? I haven't saw students who attended the same junior high here. Well maybe except the two of them." Ichinose said.

"If my friends went here, I want for us to be classmates. Especially with the class system." Yume said.
