CLASSROOM OF THE ELITE X QUINTS: Complicated Feelings

Not Everything Goes as Planned pt 2

Among the diverse crowds of people who visited the Keyali Mall this Saturday morning, a group of girls wearing casual clothes wandered around the place.

Miku, Ichihashi, Azuma, Itsuki and surprisingly, Sakura, went window shopping for the first time this month after being totally broke for the last whole month.

The twin-tailed pink haired girl wasn't originally included in their hangout but got dragged along as they happened to cross paths at the dormitory's lobby.

She's powerless from those energetic people and always finds excuses to avoid them, but this time she accepted their forced invitation and sighed a breath of relief in secret.

It was also her first invitation in her highschool career, Sakura was looking forward to today's trip.

The group went inside a particular coffee shop after moving from one shop to another shop then to another for the past four hours.

"Guh, I'm done," - Azuma surrendered her body to the back of the stool. - "It was fun though."

Sakura slightly nodded while she stared at the table.

Ichihashi and Miku arrived at the table with their drinks in their hands while Itsuki had a cake aside from the drink.

"Thank you, Ichihashi-san." Sakura said as she grabbed her juice.

Miku gave Azuma's parfait and they all took their seats in the round table.

"I'd not been here for a month and most of the old stocks were replaced by new ones." Azuma commented on her observation.

"True," - Itsuki raised her spoon - "I don't know how many times the cafe's changed their menu, but missing those yummies is an absolute waste."

The three, Azuma, Ichihashi and Sakura simply giggled, knowing that she is the type who likes food more than anything.

Miku sighed, "Just keep in mind to not overspend, Itsuki. Y'know how much you hated those vegetables set at the cafeteria."

"Ew," - Itsuki stuck out her tongue and showed a disgusted expression. - "Copy that, commander Miku."

The older sister just ignored her teasing and sipped her orange juice.

"The book about knitting was gone in the bookstore... too."

Azuma patted Ichihashi's back and the other two empathized with her knowing how passionate she's on her hobby.

Sakura doesn't know anything about it but she read the room and stayed silent.

"By the way, do you guys know how the proceedings go?" Itsuki posed a question.

Their sweat and blood earned small points were put at stake on the outcome of Sudou's trial. If they win, they won't receive any penalty and receive it full, but otherwise nothing would be left as mentioned by Chabashira.

However, they received the correct amount of points this early morning, implying they have won the proceeding.

They still want to hear the small details though, curious how their representatives defended the number one troublemaker Sudou against the complaints of Class C boys.

"Dunno, all I heard is that Hirata-kun and Kushida-san would be Sudou-kun's representatives." Azuma answered.

"I thought it was a hopeless case, but who would have imagined." Miku chimed in.

"Mhm," Ichihashi agreed. "Considering the private points given were the correct amount based on the class points we have gained. It's fine to presume that the complaints turned out to be false."
