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

"If it's because you're worried about your sister and ask for my help, there might be a place for you to consult me on this matter" I told her.

"...I understand" If I say that, then this man will also not be able to rely too much on me. In fact, he seemed to have given up completely, because after that he stopped touching on the subject of the disciple council.

"Sorry to have spent your time, that's all I have with you, but you're free to stop by the student council anytime, I'll gladly give you tea" she told me.

So, even the man who built a strong foundation for this school also had his own anxiety, huh? While feeling the unexpected, I decided to go back - but I couldn't go back. It's a good time to come back, but I'm so sorry I have to wait for Katsuragi.

The situation started to turn for the better about 30 minutes after my talk with the older Horikita. Dressed in the exact same clothes as yesterday, Katsuragi slowly headed towards me. While I was observing him from a distance a little away from his path, I saw him holding something in his hand that looked like a pouch containing what he had bought from the store yesterday.

"What does that mean?"

There's still time left until the 29th. Normally one would keep something like that in their room until the time came. But the fact that he was taking her around at the moment, maybe he wanted to hand her over now?

.

Even so, I was curious about her uniformed appearance. Maybe he intended to act in his formal attire, but honestly I would rather not see him handing over this activity in the heat by wearing that outfit. I held my breath as I tried to confirm it towards Katsuragi.

And when I did, we soon came to the crossroads of a road. Katsuragi did not continue the journey that led to the seniors' dormitory. He instead proceeded to a path that was beyond my expectations in surprise. What's at the end of that street is a school in the middle of summer vacation. I shadowed him without being aware of him.

"So that's why he's wearing his uniform --"

Not because she likes to wear it but because she intends to go to school. I finally understood about Katsuragi and then entered the school from the main entrance. But since this happened, I can't just follow Katsuragi. As long as it is forbidden to enter the school building in casual clothing, I cannot enter.

“Did you meet Katsuragi ?!".

As my phone vibrated, my screen seemed to be projecting a chat that seemed to be sent to me. Then, without reading the message, I hung up the phone and decided to change the direction of my attack. I headed to the store where we picked our presents yesterday at Keyaki Mall. And once there, I randomly entered a store that looked popular with women. I wonder what kind of gifts will be sold in other stores.

It's just that, even compared to other stores, I don't know the difference. In the end, I returned to the store yesterday where Katsuragi bought her birthday present. Finally I reached the place where the chocolate was put into a small, thin box stacked up. I considered the possibility that it might not only be for seniors but it could also be for men, but looking at it again, the possibility was not very high. The chocolate was decorated with heart ornaments and other decorations that women liked.

.

"Yahaha, I know, don't you?" A few women who started to make noise inside the store, passed me by. At that moment, I received a slight unwillingness on my back.

"Wow"

The items I hit with my elbow trembled lightly, and the pile of chocolate collapsed like an avalanche. The girls who were overwhelmed by their speakers, without even noticing the events that had happened here, immediately left the store while still talking.

"Gosh" I know that I don't have much aura of presence, but I want them to at least notice me a little.

"What are you doing?" When I tried to return the falling items desperately, a giant man called out to me from behind. Katsuragi was supposed to go to school. He looked at me with a confused face.

"I'm here to .. buy a birthday present" After suddenly meeting her, that's all I can do to answer her.

.

After glancing at the scattered gift boxes, he bowed with his huge body to pick them up.

"Ahh, I can take it myself"

"Don't mind this, it is not good to let other customers see this, it is better to clean it quickly, two is better than one”

Having said that, and even without any sign of dislike for her, she continued to extend her hand for me. It had been about 30 minutes I had spent visiting other stores, I wondered if he had finished his business at school during that time. But in Katsuragi's hands, he was holding a bag of goods from this store. I snuck a peek into it and when I did, it seemed to contain a small box packed as a gift. It seems he hasn't given it.

"It shouldn't matter" When the two of us did it together, we cleared this shop in no time. Fortunately, neither the officers nor the customers saw this.

"Thank you"

I think Katsuragi is basically a good person. During his time on the uninhabited island as well, Katsuragi showed strange goodwill to us like when she kept an eye on the corn we found. Of course, he would not show any mercy when it came to competition among the classes, but it seemed like his personality was not a bad person.

.

"Are you buying a present for your girlfriend?" Ask Katsuragi.

"Ehh, no, it's not like that, he's just a classmate, I guess I'll buy it next time" It's not like I ever intended to buy it in the first place, but I said that while I was taking my distance from this angle.

And as if to match my actions, Katsuragi also took some distance, so I decided to chat a little to see if I could take some information from her.

"Are you also buying birthday gifts?"

"Hmm why do you think that?"

"You're holding the bag from this store in your hand, I'm in the same situation"

"I see, it's true, I think I shouldn't have to think that way" Maybe he was sure, Katsuragi nodded and returned my gaze.

"I'm having a little trouble because I can't find the stuff I want, what are you buying?"

"It's not a big deal, I just bought one of the chocolates you just dropped right now, I think the batch of items in this store isn't bad at all, but I think it's up to each individual with his own judgment. Also visit another store to take a look" Katsuragi replied to me.

.

Then, without telling who he was going to give and without me being able to hear his name, we both left the store.

Of course I will not mention the word “kemarin”, but for two consecutive days Katsuragi came here wearing her uniform. This was the obvious thing to ask him.

"You have to wear a uniform if you want to get into the school building, because that can't help at all" he said.

"That means you're going to school?"

Of course, since I was following him, I already knew that he had gone to school earlier. Now all that was left was to ask him 'who' he wanted to give. In her hand, Katsuragi was still clutching her pouch. I've been thinking it would be possible to get some information from him, but unfortunately it doesn't seem like it.

"Ahh, there are also various things that I want to deal with" She doesn't say much in this matter, but it seems like Katsuragi has something on her mind since she glanced towards the school.

"Have you ever thought about this? Weaknesses when entering this school?"

.

"A weakness?"

"That's right, it has nothing to do with the class, but all the students are divided equally" I had to ask some mysterious questions I asked. If this has to do with class differences, then problems will arise on a case-by-case basis.

There were cases like Class D being hit by a lack of points, but it was hard to imagine Class A would run into such a problem. But from the statement that this applies equally to all disciples, such a thing could be ruled out. If true, what is it? Although I was seriously trying to find the answer, I could not reach a conclusion.

“You don't know? Of course it varies from person to person but you can't contact

‘outside parties’ is the drawback"

"Ahh, I understand"

But, it was not a disadvantage to me, but rather an advantage, I did not consider it at all. Of course, if you look at it normally, it might be considered a loss.

"You don't want to contact your parents or siblings?" Ask Katsuragi.

"That's it, but excluding me, I think quite a number of students are saying the same thing"

In particular, girls often complain that they are lonely. However, in the event of leakage of information to the outside, the school strictly prohibits all forms of contact. If someone carelessly broke this rule, then he would not end up with just a warning.

.

"But the benefit you received in return was enormous and I don't feel that this is reason enough to be disappointed?"

"That's right. Both the points system and the completeness of the facilities were something that ordinary students enjoyed and certainly an advantage" Furthermore, he also benefited from having graduated from Class A. Wait, why can I talk normally with Katsuragi? In addition, during the summer holidays.

"You're a close student of Horikita's, aren't you?"

"Is there a false rumor like that already spreading?"

"Rumor pair? I really remember when you acted with him when you met me"

"It's like the usual fateful relationship, or more like a current that starts when we're given seats next to each other, it just so happens that we talk to each other and from there it all starts" During the talk about school, there was nothing strange at all, I thought. It seemed like Katsuragi also had such a picture since she nodded.

"So that's how it looks. I don't know much about the other classes even though I've been thinking, if I make you feel uncomfortable, I'm sorry, I don't have any hidden intentions in this"

.

"This is something I've heard a lot recently, so good, it looks like Horikita is doing a good job"

"Right" Katsuragi momentarily agreed with me, but she showed no signs of continuing.

"To be honest, this is the third time I've come to this store, I'm the type to keep thinking about something I'm worried about, you know? although it was just a gift, when I thought about it, the feeling of someone receiving it, I couldn't just decide" Someone he was worried about being given a gift, I wondered, who was he? Should I try to dig it up a little more?

"It may seem strange to say something like this, but you're a strict person. To buy someone a birthday present like this..."

"Do you think it's weird to celebrate birthdays?" At the very least looking at the bald giant doing so, I felt very unsuitable. But it was just a prejudiced view. In this world there is even a brat who will save a cat in the rain.

"I'll be honest, who are you going to give it to?" I cut off the conversation to sue him. I won't make any progress even if I just bash through the bush.

.

"For whom, huh?" Perhaps the question was puzzling even to the person concerned, as he showed little doubt.

"It's something personal. It's not something you can hear” I think it's something that can't be forced and he ended up avoiding that question. If he answered, I would no longer be in a position to ask him further. If it were a good friend, it would be a different matter.

"Excuse me"

And without leaving a single word, Katsuragi went towards the dormitory. I managed to solve the problem of why he was wearing a uniform, but the next mystery emerged from it. Why did he go to school? Why did he show up at the store again? I can't see their answers clearly.

"Oi, Ike, I've been investigating Katsuragi's case"

"Seriously? That's fine too, Ayanokouji. I see you in a new light now"

Splice...
