Chapter 124: Asking Chabashira Sae for Help!

Ibuki shoved Hiyori back when she tried to retrieve her phone, then glared at the staggering girl.

"Sit down and behave!"

"Please return my phone... Or at least tell me why Ryuen-kun is treating me like this."

"I already said I don't know!" Ibuki answered impatiently.

Ibuki truly knew nothing. Ryuen did not want too many people learning about his conspiracy against Yuto, since every additional person increased the chance of failure.

Besides, Ibuki and the others only needed to keep Hiyori confined for a while. They were not directly participating in the plan against Yuto, so Ryuen had no reason to explain it to them.

...

After leaving the first-year building, Yuto did not immediately head toward the second-year building. He first called a certain ice-faced person and asked several questions, then ended the call after confirming the situation.

'Shimizu asked about the path beside the second-year building and Nagumo's movements. Has he realized Nagumo is preparing to act against him?'

Manabu glanced toward Nagumo Miyabi's seat.

The vice president's chair was currently empty. Nagumo was not present in the student council room.

Unless something important came up, student council members usually gathered after school to handle their duties. Today, however, Nagumo had specifically requested leave.

His excuse was that he needed to manage an event organized for the second-year students.

Manabu had initially found nothing unusual about it. Nagumo frequently organized activities to win support among the second-years.

However, Yuto's phone call made Manabu suspect that Nagumo was preparing to strike.

Manabu looked toward secretary Tachibana Akane, who was processing documents.

"Tachibana, how large is the event Nagumo organized today?"

"It's very large-larger than his usual events. Nagumo required every second-year student to attend on the sports field," Tachibana immediately answered.

"I see."

Nagumo had arranged a major event and forcefully gathered every second-year student outside. As a result, the second-year building had been left almost completely empty.

That significantly reduced the chance of anyone witnessing a fight between Yuto and Ryuen's group.

Judging from this arrangement, Nagumo was genuinely determined to have Yuto expelled.

'Can Shimizu handle their scheme safely? He probably can. Otherwise, he would have asked for my assistance during the call.'

Manabu recalled Yuto's tone. It had been as calm and casual as ever, without the slightest urgency or anxiety over being targeted.

After realizing Nagumo intended to act, Manabu sent Yuto a message through Line.

[Speak up if you need help.]

[Thank you for the offer, senpai, but I won't need it.]

Manabu lightly nodded after reading Yuto's reply. Since Yuto was confident, he would not interfere.

He was somewhat curious to see what result the confrontation between Nagumo and Yuto would produce.
