Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Chapter 2's

Although she had a friendly attitude towards all the other women, Ike seemed to have no liking for Shinohara at all. In a sense, that means it can be used as proof that he was aware of Shinohara. But it seemed that Ike was unwilling to admit it, he stubbornly denied.

"All of you, don't misunderstand me. Look, about Shinohara, if I date a woman who's as ugly as her and as bad as her, I'll be so embarrassed that I won't be able to go outside anymore, I totally rejected it"

"Ahh--" Yamauchi and I were both aware of a certain presence at the same time and frantically tried to change the subject.

"I get it, I get it, we've got it, let's go pick Kokoro-chan's gift".

"No, you still don't understand, to what extent I think Shinohara is ugly, please listen, first not only his ugly face but also his personality. And most importantly, his body also had flaws. After all, he was the ugliest among the ugliest.”.

"K-we understand that, enough, Kanji, because, behind you..." Yamauchi.

"Huh? In the back?" Ike who had already said about how much he hated Shinohara excitedly, slowly turned around. When he did, he saw the figure of Shinohara who looked almost exhaling fire and also his friends and among them, there was also Kushida.

.

I think it's natural. If they intend to choose a birthday gift for Inokashira, it is not surprising that they also choose the same place.

"I think Ike should just die!" Giving a harsh word, Shinohara angrily left the store. It seemed like Ike, who had been left out, didn't even have a sentence to reply since he just stared at her unconsciously letting Shinohara.

"Y-What does it mean to die? Damn it, he's talking too much for someone ugly's size. B-justify?" Ike spoke as he tried to give us a calm picture despite the shock. We can't interject hard here, so all we can do is agree a little bit with him.

"O-oi Ayanokouji look at this, there's a bald man here!"

Yamauchi, who was trying to lighten the mood by changing the subject, suddenly said that while shrugging his shoulders. He said there was someone bald here, but once I thought I was sure of it. In this cute shop, an unreasonable giant human being was looking at the shelves stacked with items with his back facing towards us. She is Katsuragi from Class A. He surrounded the shop with a sharp and hard expression.

"I think he's here to steal?"

Whatever happens, I doubt he would do something like that. But without a second thought, I ended up hiding myself with Ike and the others to see this situation. The reason why I took this action was because I was also curious about its appearance.

"Maybe that's what happened"

If you think about it that way, maybe you'll be sure. Looks like Katsuragi was buying a gift for someone when she came here. And it seems like he is trying to buy something right now. He seemed to be cautious of his surroundings as he did not want others to be aware of this fact.

In the end, Katsuragi chose one box and then started heading to the cashier table. Ike and the others jumped out of the shadows and gathered in front of the shelf where Katsuragi chose her gift. It seemed like there was something with a shape like thin boards stacked against each other. Ike and the others took the thing into their hands and turned it over to read the product information on the back.

"It's ... chocolate, isn't it?"

It is safe to assume that it is a Katsuragi gift that is purchased with the intention of being given to someone. It should be just that, but Ike and the others trembled as if realizing something.

.

"Could it be that the bald guy already has a girlfriend?"

"really? So this is the power of Class A!" From something this trivial, they were both shocked and jealous, and those feelings ran aground here.

"That couldn't have happened, maybe he just bought a gift for a friend"

"Normally you wouldn't give a friend a gift with this cute wrapper. Didn't we? Didn't you!? You're not gonna do it"

"...I should have"

It's true that if it's a cute little box, the ribbon in that box isn't something you would give a friend... At the very least, it's not something you would give someone of the same sex. So, if he had already done so, it was certain that he would have given it to the woman close to him. If I think like that, the image of him having a lover as impressed me, I would definitely be interested in taking it as a possibility. Ike and the others once again glanced at Katsuragi who was still walking towards the cashier table, and from the shadow of the shelf, still continuing their information gathering.

"Is that a birthday present?".

"really"

.

"Will you put it up with a birthday card?"

"Please.his birthday is August 29th"

Katsuragi answered a shop clerk's question. I wonder who the owner of the prize is? After all, it seems like the product itself is meant to be used as a birthday gift. After hearing that as well, Ike and the others started whispering amongst themselves.

"Did you hear that? Which woman is her 29th birthday?"

"I don't know.today is the 21st and it's Sunday so.it will be Monday of the following week. Do you know anything, Ayanokouji?"

"Let's know, I don't know at all" Even if the two of them who have really gotten used to the women don't know, there's no way I can find out either.

***

"Hey... I've given up because I've said it over and over again, but why in my room?”

.

"Kikyo-chan, do you know all the girls' birthdays?"

"Yes, I've memorized enough of all the women I've ever heard so more or less I know. Whose birthday do you want to know?"

"The thing is, maybe not someone from Class D"

"Umm, if it's about senior disciples then I won't know much but if it's only around the first year, I might know" As expected of Kushida who has already mastered the art of worldly wisdom. He seemed to have already recorded the date of birth so as not to forget about it.

"Then tell me one thing, which woman is the birthday on the 29th of this month?"

"A woman with a birthday on the 29th. Wait a minute" After pulling out her phone, Kushida looks to be looking at something that might be a birthday list. And after that, he scrolled the screen for a while but after that, he raised his head.

"I'm sorry, I don't seem to be someone I know,"

"I thought it might be a girl from Class A"

"Class A? Hmm, I've heard all their birthdays"

.

Even so, he doesn't seem to know which birthday women will take place next week.

"If this was a first-year woman I thought I'd know, but I can't think of anyone"

Even if Kushida's incredible social network couldn't give a name to that person, perhaps, it meant that the person who received the gift should be from a different school year. If that were the case, Kushida wouldn't know and we couldn't get the answers we were looking for.

"What does that mean the likelihood that it is a senior is quite high?" Ike raised his hand helplessly with the statement and fell behind him.

"Is there something wrong with someone who was born on the 29th?" Kushida asked Ike. And in response to her simple question, Ike replied to her in a flat tone.

"Listen to this ~ you know the bald one from class A Katsuragi, right?"

"Yep. Katsuragi-kun is the one responsible for organizing everyone in his class so that he is quite famous. In the previous exam I was in the same group as him"

.

"The problem is, the bald guy will give someone a birthday gift on the 29th. To the bald man, it was very unfair "Having heard Ike repeat the keyword 'the bald' many times, Kushida gave him a warning to be careful.

"Katsuragi-kun had a disease as he slightly left behind a hair loss. You better not make fun of him"

"Iwuu ...."

After being scolded by Kushida like that, the overjoyed Ike a while ago quickly retreated and fell silent. It is true that if we are too eager to pay attention to his slippery head, in addition to making it as a facion, such a thing can only be caused by a disease.

The act of mocking the sick was embarrassing, and Ike himself should have realized this. Just playing around and laughing because it was the easiest point to ridicule seemed to have backfired and lowered its lycability.

T/N: likability, the thing that makes a person fun/liked by many people.

"That's right, isn't it? From now on, call him properly using his name, agree?"

"t-of course. Sorry Kikyo-chan, I made you feel uncomfortable"

"No problem, as long as you understand, if you're going to improve your attitude from now on, I'll be happy"

.

But after the talk ended, it seemed like she still had something to say to us because Kushida, without wasting any time, kept talking.

"And also, about what happened today with Shinohara-san---"

"Iwuu ...." It seemed that Ike would rather forget that it had happened, but since Kushida raised the topic, he couldn't stop it either.

"I don't even have to tell you, do I?" he asked her. And without studying the matter himself, he immediately said it correctly.

"... I'll apologize" Ike said.

"If you do that, I'm sure Shinohara-san will also forgive you" Even though she doesn't seem satisfied with that, Ike still honestly said that in front of Kushida. And towards Yamauchi who was laughing at him, Ike sent a look of hatred. But other than that, thanks to Kushida, it seems like Ike can be a little mature.

"Then? you're talking about Katsuragi-kun giving someone a birthday present, aren't you?"

"Yes, yes, I wonder if Kikyo-chan knows anything about it" It seems Kushida is taking advantage of her social network and looking for clues inside her head, but it seemed like he was unable to find anything for a while, he simply shook his head.
