After finishing the assassination, we continued to observe Class B’s every move. While the 6th period was still ongoing, Class B finally started to send a message as expected.
“Did we succeed in buying some time?”
As previously said, all of our Class F’s periods this afternoon are self-studying periods, and for now, we are gathering beside Yuuji’s seat in order to have a strategic discussion.
“Although we couldn’t buy more time, I think it’s enough to last till tomorrow..”
At least Class B won’t even have a clue that we were the one behind this before that poisoned messenger regains consciousness..
However, we can only delay this for just one day, today. Tomorrow, once that messenger revives, he’ll spit everything out, and then Class B will find Class D to sort things out. Then, a large enemy that can’t be dealt with through assassination will attack.
Our deadline is today. No, strictly speaking, it should be until tomorrow morning. Once tomorrow morning arrives, if Class D declares war against us, then our plans can be considered successful.
In this circumstance, there’s only one problem left to be solved.
“Hideyoshi, how’s your negotiation going with Class D?”
“Un, I’ve already asked Shimizu out. She’ll be waiting for us in an empty classroom of the old school building after school.”
The stage was set properly, and what was left was just to provoke Class D.
“Yuuji, have you thought on how to force Class D to declare war on us?”
“Of course, I have an ace up my sleeve.”
Yuuji’s line felt very reliable. Provoking and insulting is this guy’s specialty after all! We should have no problem if we leave this huge assignment to him.
“But, Akihisa, you will have to keep your mouth shut. If you and Shimada aren’t together, we won’t be able to provoke Shimizu, so I'll have to let you guys follow. If you are to speak anything random, there may be irreversible consequences, so you really have to keep your mouth shut.”
“I know, we’ll just leave this matter to you to sort it out, Yuuji.”
All I needed to do is follow them to the scene, and say a few words. In such a situation, we can’t allow any failures, and I do feel relaxed for the fact that I only need to say a few words when acting.
“……There’s something that I’m concerned about.”
Muttsurini, who was standing beside me and fiddling with some kind of machinery, suddenly spoke up.
“Huh? Is there any problem, Muttsurini?”
“……I think Nemoto leaked some intel to Class A.”
Speaking of Nemoto-kun, he’s the class representative of Class B. As of the current circumstances, Class A shouldn't have anything to do with this, which makes this issue rather concerning.
“That’s too suspicious. They should be focusing on Class D, so why are they trying to involve Class A? Even if they involve all the other classes, the situation will worsen, and Class B wouldn't have any benefit either."
Muttsurini’s intel seemed to make Yuuji ponder for a while.
--Pa!
Suddenly a loud noise was heard, as the class door was opened forcefully.
“……Yuuji!”
The person who appeared at the door was none other than Kirishima-san, the class representative of Class A. However, why is this normally cool and collected Kirishima-san showing such a panicked look? Did something happen?
