Revelation Of An Ordinary Life

Fake Cameras/ Saving Sakura

"Well, all of you have been patient, so I'll give you a treat and show you all this plan that Horikita has concocted."

So it's time to reveal the plan, but he said that there was something extra that he's going to show. Could it be related to Airi and that store worker?

This time it was Ichinose who took a glance at Airi. It seems that she was worried about whether that would be shown as well

It took approximately 30 minutes for the discussion to start. I stood and began to leave the classroom, heading to meet someone at a certain rendezvous spot. Before I left, I decided to have a word with Sakura.

"Sakura. Are you heading back now?" I asked as she prepared to leave.

"Ayanokouji-kun... We're having the trial today."

"I'm not participating," I told her that I had to do some trivial work behind the scenes.

"Kiyotaka, was that 'trivial work' something to do with the scheme?" Airi timidly asked.

I nodded.

"I'm interested to see this trivial work, after all, The great miracle Leader of class D made it," giggled Sakayanagi while giving Horikita a ridiculous name.

"I see..." she murmured.

Sakura cast her eyes down as if she had something on her mind. She looked a little odd like she was nervous. It was as if she couldn't settle down.

"Airi, was something wrong?" Haruka asked her friend.

"Oh well, there was a problem, but don't worry, Kiyotaka helped me out," Airi said while giving her bravest face to ease her friend's worries, but it was in vain since Haruka looked like she didn't believe it.

"What's wrong?"

"Huh?"

"Sakura, you don't really need to testify today. There's no need for you to be so worked up, right?"

Sakura looked like she was sweating.

"It's because everyone's doing their best. I thought I'd do my best, too." It felt like she was saying that to herself, rather than to me.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked.

"Well, if there's something I need to move forward... I'll do it."

Even though I'd asked what she was thinking, Sakura wouldn't give a clear answer. I wanted to ask why she looked uneasy, but the cell phone in my pocket vibrated. My alarm told me the time. I couldn't stay any longer.

"See you later, Ayanokouji-kun."

Sakura's words and bright smile seemed so unlike her. They left me with an unpleasant feeling.

"She seems more timid, but it wasn't too out of the norm," Katsuragi said.

"This was just a hunch, it wasn't something I knew for sure," I told him.

"I see."

"Hey, Sakura. Do you have any time later? I wanted to talk to you about something."

The words felt like they were being squeezed out of me. Sakura gently shook her head.

"I have plans today. Maybe tomorrow?"
