Classroom of the Elite (Ayanokoji Kiyone)

Volume 6 : Placing Bet

Ayanokoji Kiyone POV

After we got out into the hallway, an unexpected person was waiting. She waved and smiled, and ran over as soon as noticed us. Horikita wasn't surprised. Instead, she approached her and responded positively.

Suzune : "Kushida-san, I've kept you waiting for a while."

Kushida : "It's alright, there's still some time left until the appointed time. What were you talking about with Honami-chan just now?"

Suzune : "Just a trifling topic."

Kushida : "I'm interested. Or is it something you can't tell me about?"

Her tone and smile remained the same, but I could feel a heavy pressure that seemed to be directed at Horikita.

Suzune : "Yeah, after all, it wasn't something unrelated to you. Let's talk."

Horikita began to naturally recount the conversation that she had with Ichinose, making slight changes where necessary.

Suzune : "I asked her about what could be done to treat everyone equally."

Kushida : "Really...?"

Suzune : "I'm not going to beat around the bush about who it was about. I had been referring to you, Kushida-san."

Kushida : "You see, Horikita-san. Maybe I can't really get along with you, but I'd rather you not share such a story while Aya-chan is present."

The true meaning of Kushida's words was that she didn't want Horikita to increase the number of people who knew her secret.

Kushida : "...Or... is it that Aya-chan and Ichinose-san now know something else?"

A sharp gaze pierces through Horikita. She accepts her gaze head-on.

Suzune : "Ayanokoji-san, please head home without me"

It's not that I'm not actually involved or something but should I play as fool here

Kiyone : "....I understand. I guess I'm in the way. However, what's going on happened here. Please settle it done no matter what. I don't like it something bad happened to us anyway due both of you. Then, excuse me"

I left the two of them and went to the entrance.

================================================================================

I arrived at my room

After changing my shoes, I began my trip back to the dorms. On the way, I was called by Horikita and picked up the phone.

Suzune : ".......You and I came from the same middle school, and because I know your past, you want me to drop out of school. These are the facts, correct?"

Then, a muffled voice came through over the phone.

It seems that she had put her cell phone in her pocket and dialed me directly. It appears that Horikita was doing me special service by allowing me to listen in on their conversation directly.

Kiyone : "This is truly clumsy....I wonder if Kushida-san either notice it or not?"

Third Person POV

On the certain hallway

Kushida : "What short notice, why bring up the past so suddenly? I don't like that topic."

Suzune : "I don't want to look backward either. However, this is something we can't avoid."

Kushida : "Let's see, after all, we hardly ever have the chance to be alone. Yes, sure, I do hope you disappear from this school. This is indeed because of the fact that we came from the same school, and that you know about my past."
