"Didn't she praised him for his 'brilliant' strategy?" Hashimoto asked Kamuro quietly.

"If I were you, I'd ignored all the weird things she's doing and saying. It's better that way trust me." Kamuro said dryly.

As he said that, he aimed his phone camera at me. It was a kind of insurance more reliable than audio. Ryuuen-kun had already imagined that I'd try betting everything on one final move...which meant that I was between a rock and a hard place.

"So, do you admit it, Suzune? The reality of your defeat, I mean."

Kushida-san also smiled boldly now. I fully understood what a fool I was. Ryuuen-kun wasn't the kind of opponent that my strategies could take down. My last hope had ended up misfiring.

"Abandon your pride and get on your knees, Suzune."

I quietly knelt. "I understand... I admit..."

"Horikita-san don't do it!"

"Get lost Ryuuen-kun!"

"Holy-"

"Is she really kneeling?"

"Ayanokoji-kun, you really didn't anticipated this?!"

Ding!

A strange sound came from Ryuuen-kun's phone, which was right in front of me. I thought he wouldn't pay much attention, but for some reason, he looked at the screen.

Ryuuen-kun's face stiffened for a moment. He started fiddling with his phone without even so much as glancing at me. Mixed together with a variety
of other sounds, I heard a recording.

"Listen up, you guys. We're going to set a trap for Horikita Suzune. I don't care what it takes to completely crush her. I have a plan in mind. I'll show you something interesting."

"Huh?"

"A recording?"

"Where did it come from?"

Ryuuen froze. He gritted his teeth and turned around looking over to Manabe who flinched.

'I'm so sooo dead.' Manabe shivered in fear.

"Who sent it?" Shinohara asked.

'Did he?' Horikita looked over to Ayanokoji direction.

That was Ryuuen-kun's voice. Was it from a previous conversation? In the recording, he went into detail about what he'd so proudly explained to me
just moments ago.

I heard Ibuki-san's voice. It sounded like she interrupted Ryuuen-kun.

"Look, I'm not discounting your strategy or whatever, but give me a chance to fight Horikita."

"Looks who's obsessed." Hiyori sings.

"I'm not." Ibuki glared at her.

"Are you sure about that?"

"Karma." Amikura snorted.

Ryuuen-kun's voice again. "Run against Suzune during the obstacle course, and collide with her. Do whatever it takes to knock her , I'll injure you myself and get you some money from her."

I didn't know what in the world was happening right now.

"What's going on, Ryuuen-kun? What's with that recording?" Kushida-san seemed puzzled.

"That's what we all thinking right now." Matsushita said.

Sakayanagi laughed drawing attention. "It seems like Class D wasn't the only one who have a traitor in their midst."
