Classroom of the Elite

Part 5

"Let us go, Kamuro-san."

Sakayanagi after spotting Yanagi said to Kamuro who was sitting directly across from her.

She wordlessly followed her.

There were no other empty seats in the cafe so Yanagi sat at the same table on which they were seated moments before.

Sakyanagi was holding something like a recorder in her hand.

When she tapped the red button on the left corner, some voices could be heard, mainly of a boy and a girl.

"Sorry to make you wait!"

"No, no don't worry about it!"

Satisfied with the voices that she could hear on the receiver, she projected a smile.

"You could have stopped him, but why aren't you doing anything?"

After they left the cafe, Kamuro asked her.

"Why would I? It wouldn't be fun otherwise. And even if I don't do anything, nothing would happen."

"What do you mean by that? If he submits Horikita's name as the leader, she would be expelled right?"

"Yeah. If she were the leader that is."

Kamuro went wide-eyed. From the intel that she had gained, Horikita was, without a doubt, the leader from Class D. And Sakayanagi had just said that not to be the case.

She sent a questioning look towards Sakayanagi but of course, she had no intention of saying any more.

"But if nothing would happen even if you didn't do anything then why are you going as far as to recording their conversation?"

"This is a birthday gift for a certain someone, though belated as it may have been."

"Do you mean Ayanakoji-kun?"

"Oh my. What makes you think that I wonder?"

Sakayanagi had to be amazed that she had hit the mark in just a single attempt. It was almost as if she was sure of that fact.

"From the start, you have been conscious of him. You even ordered me to tail him once. You want to go head to head with him but you also hide about who he is and what he is capable of from the others. And you try to help him even without him asking. And it also seems to me that you knew him even before coming to this school. Don't tell me, you love him?"

"Love? That may be a part but that is not all."

"Huh? What is that supposed to mean?"

Kamuro couldn't understand what exactly she was trying to say.

"Fufu. I suppose you don't understand."

"Yes, it might be love but it is, at the same time, also something much much beyond love. It is something that transcends love. I don't know myself. I can't point a finger so as to what that feeling is. But I am sure of one thing. I want him! I want him all for myself!! I want to play with him forever and I want to spend more and more time with him!!!"

It was as if a haunted spirit had taken over her body. 

Her hands were widespread and her demeanor seemed like of a fanatic woman in mad love.

The way that she looked at Ayanokoji and the intense desire that she had to want him sent chills down to her very marrow. It was a mad obsession and mad possessiveness but Kamuro kept that thought to herself.

"Looks like that they are gone."

After about half an hour Yanagi and Kushida left the cafe.

"Aren't you going to send this recording to him?"

"Yeah. I will but not now. I will send it to him tomorrow."

(Current situation) 

"So, that's how it is."

I explained everything to her.

She had a look of astonishment on her face and that was no surprise since she didn't know that all of these had happened in the background without her knowledge.

"Hmm?"

Just as I finished explaining everything to her, my phone vibrated. I took out the phone

I had received a message and it was a voice message at that.

I tapped the play button.

"Expel Horikita-san and that would make Sakayanagi-san notice you."

"B-But.........."

"Are you going to miss out on this golden opportunity?"

"!"

Horikita's voice was caught in her throat and she couldn't hide her surprise.

There were two people talking that could be heard from the recording, one was a boy and the other was a girl. And both she and I knew to whom the feminine voice belonged.

My phone buzzed again and a short message followed, sent by the same sender.

"This is my birthday gift to you, Ayanokoji-kun. Happy belated birthday to you."

I see. So that is how she is going to help me out with this. She knew exactly what I wanted without me telling her. I have to thank her properly but that's for later. Now, then.

"Hmm?"

Horikita's phone buzzed and she took out her phone.

Her eyes widened the moment she checked the message I had sent.

"Horikita, I am leaving the decision to you. How you use that voice evidence is all up to you. And I have no intention of butting in."

I showed my phone to her and deleted the voice message in front of her.

Her eyes were wavering but there was nothing more for me to do. She would have to figure it out herself.

I turned and boarded the elevator but she was still standing there, her feet planted to that very spot.

Note:

This concludes the final Chapter! I would post the epilogue shortly. And also, I will be writing three SSs for this which I would upload by today!
