There were only a few minutes left until the appointed time.

As I finished my drink, a lone male student approached.

"Asahina, is this guy Ayanokoji?"

"Huh? Tachibana-kun? It is, but..?"

"Excuse me."

The student called Tachibana pulled a chair and sat down.

He then put his arms on the table, and began speaking while pitching forwards.

"What do you want with Yamanaka?"

Tachibana Kento.

He's a classmate of Yamanaka in year-three D Class.

I thought it might be Ansai coming up here, but it was another new face.

"Hey, how do you..."

"Yamanaka-senpai contacted you, huh? Did she ask you to check up on us?"

"Huh? I'm the one that should be asking questions, right?"

Perhaps it's because he's my senior, but he doesn't seem to be losing his bullish attitude.

I think he is above Ansai in terms of physique and mentality.

"It's easy to guess when she's sending others for her. It's about Kiryuuin-senpai."

"What do you have to do with it?"

"I have no direct relation to her, but Kiryuuin-senpai asked me to find out the truth."

"Are you playing detective? Go tell her that nothing has changed, then."

"She was ordered by Nagumo to frame her for shoplifting, right?"

"That's right."

"Hey, Tachibana-kun, is that really true? I don't think Miyabi would do something like that."

"You don't? Nagumo is the kind of guy that would be perfectly fine with doing something like that. Isn't he using us like slaves?"

From what I can see, he isn't a part of the faction that supports Nagumo.

I could even say that he is in the anti-Nagumo faction.

"We gotta obey even if we don't like it, though. Just like Yamanaka did."

Tachibana sighed and tilted his head slightly.

"If you get it, don't bother Yamanaka again. Okay?"

"Sorry, but that's not possible. Nagumo-senpai hasn't confirmed what she said."

"You can blame anyone you want, but the truth is the truth. We can't disobey Nagumo."

"I heard. It's because you have a contract with Nagumo-senpai, right?"

Tachibana looked at Asahina with a look that said "you even told him about that?"

"You must get it, then."

"There should have been a way for the classes to collect private points and redistribute them for class transfers themselves. What's the reason for everyone obeying Nagumo's instructions?"

"You don't get it. Before he came to us with the contract, the D Class or C Class had almost no class points left. We couldn't have gathered 20,000,000 points as a class in one year. The possibility of graduating in A Class was 0. If we make the contract, however, we can be allowed to win in the Special Tests. In other words, we can receive class points. Is there any choice but to say yes? Besides, if we ignored Nagumo's contract, we would have to thoroughly fight against Nagumo. What would happen then? The class points we had left
