Chapter 54: The Three People's Thoughts
"Let me write it. Anyway, as long as I can get the notification, it's fine, right?"
Ichinose Honami saw the unease in Sakura Airi and knew they couldn't go on like this.
"Ah? ...This..."
Hisada Yukizo hesitated. Ichinose Honami was also a stunning beauty. Logically, getting her contact information would be a win...
But what could he do with it? He didn't like her!
"Sure, of course!"
His mouth betrayed his thoughts, and Hisada Yukizo consoled himself.
'Shizuku' is a student at the school; he'd find her contact information eventually.
He already knew her identity: Sakura Airi from Class 1-D.
He had sent out the first batch of love-filled letters recently, believing she'd see them soon.
Had his sincere feelings reached her heart?
Ichinose Honami quickly wrote down Miyano Makoto's dormitory address and contact information. She wasn't foolish enough to share her own.
"Uh... isn't this a guy's address?"
Hisada Yukizo stared at "Dormitory 433" on the paper. He knew the school's layout: men's dorms on lower floors, women's on upper ones.
This "Dormitory 433" was clearly that guy's number!
"Didn't you say as long as you can get a notification, it's fine?"
Ichinose Honami smiled, not hiding her wariness of the clerk.
"Isn't it common sense for girls to protect their personal information?"
"…You're right."
Hisada Yukizo admitted defeat.
What was the point of getting this guy's info?
Damn it!
Why him?
After leaving the electronics store, Sakura Airi spoke louder than usual:
"Thank you."
"…You're welcome. It's what I should do."
Ichinose Honami held Sakura Airi's arm, a bit embarrassed by her own thoughts.
"Want to join us for dinner in the dormitory tonight? I'll cook~"
The unexpected invitation made Sakura Airi shake her head like a rattle.
Realizing her reaction was rude, she timidly explained:
"It's not what you think; I just feel a little..."
"It's okay, don't force yourself."
Ichinose Honami's gentle consideration gave Sakura Airi courage.
This was someone genuinely kind, inside and out. If she couldn't seize this chance...
She'd never forgive herself.
"…Okay."
Not just because she was tired of the cafeteria's wild vegetable meals, but because she wanted to take a step toward change, Sakura Airi bravely agreed.
Then she immediately regretted it.
At Dormitory 433.
"Is… is it here?"
Sakura Airi couldn't believe it. The "dormitory" for this "dormitory meal" was—
The only guy in the group's dorm!
Had she known, she'd never have agreed.
But the arrow was shot, and there was no turning back.
"Yes, don't worry, Sakura-san, it's no different from my dorm. I come here every day, too!"
Casually dropping this bombshell, Ichinose Honami swiped the dormitory card and opened Room 433's door.
"I'm back!"
No one answered; Miyano Makoto was still with the group.
Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro Masumi glanced at Miyano Makoto, as if to say—
This wasn't the deal before.
Miyano Makoto ignored their looks, unfazed. He trusted Ichinose Honami's reasons.
Sakura Airi sat uneasily on a chair. Sakayanagi Arisu and Kamuro Masumi left the seat by the door open, giving her an escape route.
"Is hiding one's talents truly a talent itself?"
Sakayanagi Arisu spoke slowly, eyeing Sakura Airi.
She couldn't resist probing.
Sakura Airi froze, then hunched over.
She was scared.
Even a same-sex gaze made her uncomfortable, let alone with four others in the room!
The small dorm felt suffocating.
"Sakayanagi, if you keep this up, I'll get angry!"
Even while cooking, Ichinose Honami kept an eye on the situation.
Sakura Airi needed delicate handling, and Sakayanagi Arisu's words were like poking her weaknesses.
Don't flaunt your strengths now!
"Should I call you Arisu or Sakayanagi?"
Miyano Makoto muttered, seemingly to himself.
"…Do you think this is enough? This school isn't suited for her at all."
Unfazed by their threats, Sakayanagi Arisu had her own solution.
"Drop out. It's best for everyone."
She laid the "dropping out" card on the table:
"Class D has 0 class points. Your dropout won't hurt much. I'm saying this for your sake, from your perspective."
Sakayanagi Arisu's words held truth.
Class D's environment was unfit for Sakura Airi's survival.
So…
"Just get to Class A, right?"
Miyano Makoto's words widened Sakayanagi Arisu's eyes:
"…You'd do that? Would your girlfriend agree?"
She glanced at Ichinose Honami, seeking her opinion.
"If it's what Makoto truly thinks, I have no objection."
Ichinose Honami had long realized that being in the same class as Miyano Makoto wasn't necessary. Her life was great now, wasn't it?
Even if Miyano Makoto transferred to Class A, how much time would he actually spend in class?
Damn Hoshinomiya Chie! Why does she keep giving Makoto leave? Is she even a normal health teacher?
Despite recent help from her, Ichinose Honami was still annoyed.
"…Have you already raised 20 million personal points?"
Sakura Airi, listening to their talk, had a shocking guess and blurted it out.
The news was too staggering.
"That's right, but keep it secret from Class D~"
Ichinose Honami put her index finger to her lips in a "hush" gesture, and Sakura Airi nodded dazedly.
She had no friends in Class D to tell.
"Well... I have an idea. It might disappoint Sakura a bit..."
"No!"
Before Miyano Makoto could finish, Ichinose Honami shot down his proposal.
