"The peculiarity of deceitful people is that they are faithful only when it is convenient for them" - Francois de La Rochefoucauld

POV: Otomura Yujiro

Evening of the same day.

The entire study group gathered in Ayanokouji's room.

Ike: "What is that dark look on his face? Sudo wasn't expelled, did everything end well?"

Ayanokouji: "I don't mind the party, but why in my room?"

Ike: "My room is a mess, Sudo, Yamauchi and Otomura are the same. We can't go to the girls' rooms. That's why your wonderful and completely empty room is the best, Ayanokouji."

It's a good thing I thought of lying about how dirty my room was.

I don't mind guests, but... no.

Ayanokouji: "It's only been two months since we joined. It would be weird if we had a lot of stuff."

Ike: "What do you think, Kushida-chan?"

Kushida: "I think the room is great. Clean, neat and no frills."

Ike: "Well? It must be nice to receive praise from Kushida-chan. Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

He hit him lightly.

Are you jealous?

Yamauchi: "Everything has calmed down, but these exams were dangerous. If it weren't for the study group, Aik and Sudou would have been guaranteed expulsion."

Ike: "Huh? You were on the edge yourself, you know?"

Yamauchi: "No, no, I could get a hundred points if I wanted. Seriously".

Posturing.

Kushida: "This is all thanks to the efforts of Horikita-san. After all, she was the one who taught Ike-kun, Sudo-kun and Yamauchi-kun."

Horikita-san was sitting alone and reading a book.

It's amazing that she came here.

Horikita: "I just do what I want. If any of you are expelled, our D grades may drop."

We won't fall below the bottom.

Sudo: "You can lie, but it's better to say that you did this for us. Then we will think better of you."

Horikita: "You don't have to think better of me."

Sudo: "Okay, but... Horikita is surprisingly cute."

He muttered the last part under his breath.

When Horikita-san apologized to Sudou, he immediately changed his attitude towards her.

Yamauchi: "And yet, why did the teacher decide to cancel Sudou's expulsion?"

Ike: "I'm also curious, what kind of magic did you use, Otomura and Horikita-chan?"

Horikita: "Um, I don't remember..."

Otomura: "By the power of my sense of smell"

"..."

Ike: "If you want to keep it a secret, don't say anything."

I'm not serious.

Horikita: "It's too early to celebrate, we only passed the midterm exams. The next hurdle is the trimester test. Of course, the tasks there will be more difficult. And of course we will have to look for ways to get more points."
