Part 4

Part 4

Unknowingly, the day arrived on a Sunday, White day on March 14.

To be honest, I'm thankful it happened to be on Sunday.

Some gifts have been prepared on the table.

If it were at school, I would have been worried when I would get the opportunity to give it and it

will end up taking a long time.

Although you can give it in the morning, before class starts, or after school.

There's a lot to think about; who should I go first and how it should be done.

More importantly, doing things like that in the public's eyes is completely out of line with my

image.

I also know that this is the best way so that no one else sees me around, but that is almost

impossible.

However, if it is Sunday, I just put it in each mailbox.

In order not to meet anyone, I left the room when it was still morning and walked to the mailbox

of the dormitory.

"Uhh ..."

I put the gift in the mailbox of each student who had given me chocolates on Valentine's Day.

After putting all the chocolate in, I saw Ichinose on my way back to my room.

Ichinose's reaction was like she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.

"Oh, good morning, Ayanokouji-kun."

"Eh ... Umm, good morning."

Even though it's not yet 7, an unexpected encounter had happened.

But today, she is still avoiding my eyes.

"After waking up, I went for a short walk and I just returned."

She said with a look as if she was staring at me but in fact she looked elsewhere.

She wanted to check her mailbox before returning.

"Ah ~ sorry, excuse me."

To let her check her mailbox, I left the way open. After she greeted me, she checked her

mailbox. The return gift that I placed naturally appeared.

"Since you've seen it now. I gave it to you."

After Ichinose took the gift out of the mailbox, she held it for a moment without moving.

"Actually, about that, you didn't need to ..."

Ichinose who responded, stopped as if she forgot what she wanted to say.

"I don't think that would be good."

"... T-thank you, I'm sorry, I'm nervous because I'm not used to this."

I was also the same. This time there was no one else around so I didn't know what to do.

The atmosphere quickly became awkward, so I had to change the subject.

"... Speaking of which. What happened to Shibata on Thursday, what happened after that?"

"Ah, um, are you worried?"

"Yes, I'm a little worried."

Was it because I had changed the subject, so the words flowed smoothly after a while and I felt

like it was back to normal.

"After that, I went to ask everyone, at that time there were only 3 victims reported by

Shibata-kun. But ..."

"But?"

"On Friday, the number of victims appeared to have increased suddenly. It increased to 3 boys

and 3 girls. Yesterday I received a report, all of them had been watched as discussed."

In other words, a total of 9 people were bullied by Class D. However, in the three days after the

special examination was published, the attack was only concentrated on 3 people. Will there be

6 more people on Friday?

"Do you know who is stalking them?

After a while, she nodded and said the names of the students.

"I know they are Ishizaki-kun, Komiya-kun, Yamada-kun, Kondou-kun, Ibuki-san, and

Kinoshita-san."

A total of 6 people?

They are students who usually do the dirty work to a certain extent.

It's easy to identify those who don't try to hide their identity from the start.

"I wonder, do I have to chase these 6 people?"

Most D classes are just ordinary students. It is natural to think like this.

"Next Monday, I intend to ask them for more details."

"If the damage increases as you imagined. What will you do?"

Soon after, Ichinose and Kanzaki will also be affected.

"Well ~ I can't do anything. After all, there is no threat of violence ... The classmates also

agree to continue to endure, until the injury actually occurs and will be psychologically

damaging."

If something unexpected happens, an emergency plan must be prepared.

"I see."

Class D is showing strange movements.

Are they really aiming for all students in class B?

If there are only 6 people lurking, it's impossible to put much pressure on all of Class B.

Even if they do this kind of thing repeatedly, it would only be to the extent to which someone

feels harassed.

Didn't Ishizaki who proposed this think about that?

Or, as long as they can give a few mental blows, are they satisfied?

"Is there something wrong?"

She seemed to notice that I was worried, and looked at me with a slightly agitated expression.

"No ... You can continue doing what you have so far. Even if you complain to the school about

Class D, they won't be penalized. That's what I think."

"Yes, that is true."

But the purpose of Class D is the same as what I think now. But I need to confirm it first.

However, there was no sign of Ichinose trying to make a move. So I will not mention it.

Because she had already decided to focus on defense, I decided to change the topic to

continue the conversation.

"Have you decided on 10 events?"

"Yes. We already knew about what we were good at and weren't from the beginning. Then we

have mixed in a number of programs that Class D didn't master, and we finished them

yesterday. What about Ayanokouji-kun?"

"I didn't participate in anything this time. For 10 events, everything was left to Horikita who

decided."

"But what about the rules of the Commander's intervention?"

"It's also Horikita who decides."

Ichinose showed a confused look, when I said that I wasn't the right Commander.

"Is it because your classmates really trust, Horikita-san? Or, no matter the rules of the event,

you will be able to handle it?"

"100% is the first. I am different from the others. There are only a few classmates who have

good relations with me. I really don't know any of them. And I am the Commander only to

prevent someone from dropping out of school."

"But why do you want to play against Class A?"

"That was also Horikita's idea. She might have seen the opportunity of victory at that time."

After accepting this reason, she did not try to discuss it any further.

The topic of discussion was complete and we waited for the elevator to arrive.

"Ah ~ ... I think I messed up ..."

As if she just thought of something. She stood aside while continuing to twist her hair with her

index finger.

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, nothing. There's nothing to worry about."

The elevator arrived on the 4th floor where my room was located.

"That. "

When I got out of the elevator and looked back, our eyes happened to meet hers.

"Eh, Uwahhh !! T-See you later!"

After that she suddenly panicked and pressed the button. The elevator door closed and

Ichinose's figure was no longer visible. Although it was a strange encounter, white day ended

quite smoothly, so it wasn't so bad.

"It seems that today I didn't smell any orange perfume."

After all, it was still Sunday morning, and she would not have sprayed perfume before leaving.
