Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Vol 2 Chapter 4: An unexpected witness

"I'm not sure. I can't say it yet. I decided to take the initiative myself, because I

not very good at interacting with Hirata, Kushida, or large groups of people.

Socializing is definitely not my forte.

I thought everyone was going to make me run around school or classrooms today, so I decided to just run away. I like to avoid trouble, remember? "

"That's true. But then, you are just as contradictory as before, because you are helping a friend. "

"Yes, man, good or bad, is a comfortable being."

I've touched on this subject before with Horikita, but she seems relatively open to my ideas. He usually acts alone, so as long as something doesn't

endangering him, he was less likely to mind.

He is not the type of person who empathizes with the pain of others.

"Well, your way of thinking is irrelevant to me, Ayanokouji-kun, so you are free to think whatever you like. Also, I appreciate you saying that both are hard to deal with. "

"Well, it's just because you hate them, right?"

"Having a common enemy tends to lead to cooperation."

"No. Just because I'm bad at dealing with them doesn't mean I hate them. Please don't

thought I liked you. "

I really want to get closer to Kushida and Hirata. But Horikita's interpretation of my stance is rather broad, and she seems to think that we have

same thoughts on this issue.

While muttering, I walked to the end of the hallway and observed the corners, making sure not to miss any gaps or clues.

Horikita seemed to notice something, and began to look around. He started to look.

"It doesn't seem to be here. Very bad."

"Huh? Whahuh? ”I asked.

“Camera, like the one in class. If there's a camera here, we have solid evidence. I can't find him. "

"Ah yes. Security camera. You're certainly right about that. If it was here, this matter would be resolved. "

There were electrical plugs on the ceiling, but there was no sign it was being used. There was nothing in the hallway that blocked the view of the camera, so if anything was installed the entire incident would be recorded from the beginning to the end

done that.

"Well, did the school have a hallway camera in the first place?"

Maybe it's not just a special building. The hallways in the main school building may also not have cameras.

"If I had to think of places where they wouldn't be installed, I would probably say bathrooms and locker rooms. Right, huh?"

"Yes. The most liked."

"If there's a security camera here, the school will check it first and we won't have any problems with the case."

I shook my head, embarrassed to get my hope even for a moment. For a while, we were pacing back and forth, wasting time and not really

true to achieve anything.

"So, have you made any plans to save Sudou-kun?" Ask Horikita.

"Of course I don't. It's your job to make plans, Horikita. I won't ask you to save Sudou, but it would be nice if you

take Class D in the right direction. "

Horikita shrugged her shoulders in despair. He might think of a response. However, he was the one who found Sakura, so it seemed that she was unwilling to help at all.

"You're asking for my help? To use me? Here and now?"

“Having Sakura as our witness hurts more than helps. I thought it would be better if we were looking for something else. "

Horikita seemed to understand. However, he acts aloof, cut off from the world, like he's too cool to care about anything.

"Sudou has a lot of qualities that I can't do. However, I wanted to reduce the trouble they gave him. The best possible outcome is that we still

have some points, even if the image of Class D deteriorates."

He sounds honest. Usually, he is not honest. That's not a very bad thing. However, most people are not suited to loneliness.

Because of this, they sometimes behave

hypocrisy, such as saving someone from pretending altruism (attention to others) so that others admire him. That doesn't seem to be Horikita's style.

Also, unlike Kushida and the others, he completely gave up on proving Sudou innocent.

"As I said, unless a perfect witness appears, proving Sudou-kun's innocence would be impossible. If the students of Class C admit that they

lying, I thought everything would be fine. Do you think it's possible? "

"Cannot be. They'll never admit it. "

That lie will prevail, especially since the other classes have no evidence either. That's what I was thinking. Our only proof is Sudou's words. We're really in the dark.

"No one's here after class."

"Well, that's obvious. They only use the building specifically for club activities. ”

One party, either Sudou or the Class C students, had summoned the other to a special building.

After that, as if by fate, the two enemies started fighting. In the end, Sudou

they hurt others, and they complain about it. That's the whole case.

I definitely wouldn't come to a hot place like this unless someone took me.

Moisture suffocating. I feel like if I stay a few more minutes, my head

gonna explode.

"Are you not feeling hot, Horikita?"

While the intense heat crushed me, Horikita looked around with a cold expression.

“I'm pretty tough in terms of temperature. Ayanokouji-kun, you seem to be fine. "

The heat is making me dizzy. I moved towards the window, hoping for some cool air. I opened the ... window and then immediately closed it.

"That's dangerous."

Opening the windows only let more hot air into the room. Leaving it open would result in tragedy, I'm sure of it.

When I thought about how it would keep getting hotter throughout August, I became depressed. However, coming here today has given us results. Things that are not

impossible ...

"What are you thinking now?" Ask Horikita.

“Oh, there's nothing. It's just it's hot. I have reached my limit. "

It seems like we've done everything we can, so we're starting to come back.

"Ah."

"Ups!"

Turning around the corner of the hallway, I met another student.

"Sorry, are you okay?" My toot.

The impact of our collision was not very difficult. At least we both didn't fall.

"Yes. Ii'm sorry. I'm careless, ”he said.

"Oh no, I'm sorry. Wait ... A sakura? "

Midway through the apology, I realized who I met.

"Ah, um?"

Judging from his troubled response, he had no idea who I was.

After staring for a moment, he seemed to

I know him as one of his classmates. It's a bit pointless if you can only recognize someone after an intense fight.

"Ah, uh. Look, my hobby is taking photos, so ..”

He showed me his cell phone screen. I don't really plan on asking for details yet. Besides, it's not too natural to use your phone.

Sakura probably thought we were going back to the dorm, and now she no doubt wondered why we were here.

“You said it was your hobby? What kind of photos? ” Tanyaku.

“Things like hallways .. and views out the window. Things like that, I guess. ”

Just as Sakura finished her brief explanation, she noticed Horikita and lowered her gaze.

"Ah, um ..."

"I want to ask you something, Sakura-san," Horikita said.

Sakura looked uncomfortable, but Horikita, who never missed an opportunity, stepped closer to her.

Sakura backed off, looking frightened. I tried to hold Horikita gently, gesturing her to stop chasing Sakura.

"Good bye."

"Sakura's." Call me when she tries to hurry away.

"You don't have to force yourself." I speak without thinking. Sakura stopped, but did not turn around.

"You shouldn't feel obligated to appear as a witness, Sakura. There is no point in forcing you to testify. But if someone scary tries

intimidate you or something, please talk to us. I don't know how much I can help, but I'll try."

"Are you talking about me?" Horikita. Ignoring the existence of such a terrifying monster, I decided to let Sakura go.

"I didn't see anything. You are wrong people ... "

He insisted that he was not a witness. So far, we operate solely on the basis of dogmatism and prejudice

Horikita's. It's very possible that Sakura wasn't a witness, as she said.

"Then it's okay. However, if someone else is trying to hunt you down about it, please let me know. ”

Sakura walked obediently down the stairs.

“That might be one big chance of us, you know? He probably came here because he was still thinking about the incident. ”

"Because he denies it, we can't force him to do anything. Besides, you understand, Horikita? A Class D witness won't be much help to our case. "

"Yes, I guess."

He will act according to his logic. However, I don't know what he's thinking. That's why our investigation has stalled.

"Hey, you two. What are you doing?"

We turned around in response to that unexpected voice.

A beautiful girl with strawberry-blond hair stood behind us.

I recognize him, even though I haven't

ever talked to him before. She is a student of Class B, Ichinose. Rumor has it that he was an amazing student.

“Sorry to bother you like that. Do you have time? Oh, if you're in the middle of a so-so date, I want you to stop immediately."

"It's not like that."

Horikita immediately denied it. He was quick to respond to such advice.

“Ha ha, so. This place is a bit too hot to be a dating spot. ”

I have no connection with Ichinose. I'm not sure, but he might not even know my name.

"Oh wow, that,

it's been too long! How's it going? "And" I'm fine, I'm fine! "And hugging each other, I might start foaming at the mouth and then faint.

"Do you have any business with us?" Ask Horikita.

Horikita stood guard after the sudden appearance of Ichinose.

He probably didn't think that it was a coincidence Ichinose tried to talk to us.

"Urusan, huh? Yes, it's more like ‘What are you doing here?’

"none. We roam around for no reason. "

I wanted to answer honestly, but the pressure of Horikita's gaze made me lie.

"No excuses, huh? you're from Class D, aren't you? "

"Do you know us?"

"I've met you twice before. We

not speaking directly. I remember seeing you

in the library too. ”

He somehow remembers me. Maybe I'm a little cool.

"I have a very good memory, you know."

What does it mean that if his memory is not good, I will not have many impressions? I was a little happy, but my levity died in the satirical comments.

"I think there must be something here related to that fight. I wasn't here yesterday when Class

B hear about witnesses. Later, I heard that Class D was looking for evidence that Sudou was not

guilty. "

"If we were here because

investigation, what's your relationship?"

“Hmm, a relationship? Yeah, I'm not connected. When I heard about what happened, I hesitated. So I thought I'd come here myself to see it.

Will you tell me? "

Is he really only interested? After a moment of silence, Ichinose timidly spoke.

"I guess not, huh? Well, if other classes are interested ... ”

"No, we didn't say no, but ..."

"I couldn't help but think there was an ulterior motive," Horikita snapped.

I tried to handle the situation peacefully, but Horikita immediately eliminated the plan. Ichinose, clearly feeling the hostility behind Horikita's words, said,

tilted his neck and smiled.

“Motif hidden? You think we're working in the shadows to weaken C and Class D? "

ichinose had a confused expression.

“Do you have to

be alert? I really just want to know, that's all. "

"I don't want to talk to someone who is 'just curious.' Do what you want."

Horikita tried to keep her distance between them. He peeked out the window.

"Please tell me something. All my teachers and friends say is that there's some kind of fight. "

I hesitated for a moment, but since there wasn't much information to be had, it might be pointless to keep quiet. So I explained the situation.

I told him that three people from Class C had called Sudou, and there was a fight. However, Sudou turns things around on his would-be attackers, and

beat them.

I also told him that after the fight, the Class C children filed false reports to the school. Ichinose listened to the story carefully.

"So, that's what happened. This story has not yet reached Class B. Hey, isn't this a pretty big deal? No problem

who's lying because it's a matter of violence, right? Shouldn't you rush to uncover the truth? "

"That's why we came here to see. But we haven't found much evidence. "

This isn't a murder case, so I doubt there are many clear clues we can find. However, contrary to our expectations, we did get some results.

"So, you trust Sudou-kun because he's your classmate. And of course, that's obvious. So Class D is in an uproar because Sudou was wrongly accused, right? ”

It's hard to convince a third party like Ichinose that we're not doing this out of friendship or class loyalty.

"What would you do if Sudou-kun was a liar? Suppose there is evidence proving his mistake. How then?"

“I will report it honestly. After all, covering up lies will only come back to haunt us later. ”

"Yes okay. I think so too."

Even so, it's not like our struggles will actually have an impact on Ichinose.

"Are you done? You hear what you want. ” Horikita spoke sharply and with a sigh, tried to drive away Ichinose.

"Hm. Yeah, how about I help you? To find a witness, or whatever. You will definitely grow further with more people, right? "

Obviously more people will be better. Thas right. However, it was as if we were not riding

and said to him,

"Please help us, we're in trouble!"

"Why does a student from Class B offer help?"

“Are Class D and B completely unrelated to each other? We don't know when these cases will arise, or who they will be involved in. Because the class is

in constant competition, there is always a chance that this will happen. This is just the first case. If the lying side wins, that would be a bad example. Also, I personally cannot turn away now because I know what happened. "

I don't know if Ichinose is serious or joking.

"If Class B is working with you, doesn't that dramatically increase your credibility? Though I guess the opposite can also be true. Class D may suffer greater consequences if the truth is revealed ... "

In other words, if Sudou was lying, then it proved the statement of Class C. In that case, Sudou would be suspended, and Class D might suffer fatal damage.

"What are you thinking? I can't believe that's bad advice. "

I glanced over to see what Horikita was thinking. But he still backs me. He looked out the window, not moving. I wonder what he thinks of Ichinose's offer.

Of course, we were worried what effect it would have. If Class D tries to prove himself that Sudou is innocent, then,

our credibility will be low unless we manage to find evidence that, 100 percent ensures that Sudou is innocent.

If a student from Class B is involved, there may be tremendous implications.

I decided to weigh the positives and negatives of the offer, even though it was rude. Obviously, I can't trust Ichinose yet.

He was a student of Class B,

and he got nothing by involving himself.

Helping others out of goodwill

solely reflected in class or personal points, then I can understand his motivation.

It is not easy to ask, but he may have important information.

The only way to be sure is to ask.

"Let's take his help, Ayanokouji-kun."

Horikita has made a decision, perhaps determining that the benefits outweigh the risks. I am grateful that he made the decision quickly.

I didn't really have the strength to decide from the start; it was Horikita's work. Ichinose smiled, showing off his white teeth.

"Then decided! Um ... "

"Horikita."

Horikita gave her name honestly, as if doing so agreed to our cooperative relationship.

"It's nice to meet you, Horikita-san. And you too, Ayanokouji-kun. ”

We suddenly became acquainted with Ichinose of Class B and accepted him as an ally.

There is still a risk that this could lead to bad things. No matter what, everything will change.

“We have found witnesses. Unfortunately, this is a student from Class D. "

Ichinose let out a desperate breath.

"Well, that means no other witnesses. I mean, I guess someone from another class might have witnessed it, but it's impossible. "

Chances are small. But there's still a chance.

“By the way, about your friend. He's his first year, but he might be a regular on the basketball team, right? That was amazing. Even if he can you guys hold it now, he

it might be a big asset later. I mean, the school evaluates club activities and philanthropic activities, right? So if he enters the tournament and succeeds, Sudou-kun

can get points. It will also be linked to your class points. Wait ... Don't you guys know that? Did your teacher not tell you? ”

We just heard that it would

influence our personal points.

“This is the first I heard about it affecting our class points. I have to complain to Chabashira-sensei later, " muttered Horikita, a little dissatisfied.

This is another error, another example where Chabashira-sensei failed to reveal anything important. I wonder if Class B has heard of this

from their teacher ... Normally, our teacher doesn't even pretend to give us the same treatment.

"Your homeroom teacher is a little weird," Ichinose said.

"He doesn't seem motivated to tell us anything. He's really apathetic. Some teachers are like that. "

I didn't think that it was very worrying, but Ichinose gasped.

"Did you know that schools evaluate homeroom teachers when their classes graduate?"

“This is the first time I've heard of it. Are you sure? "

I'm not so interested because I have no choice but to be interested. That's a crucial difference.

“Our homeroom teacher, Hoshinomiya-sensei, says it like his motto. He said he wanted to do his best because the homeroom teacher for Class A got a special bonus. It seems so different to you. "

"I envy your relationship with your homeroom teacher. And your classroom environment. "

Our teachers seem to be less ambitious, or even less interested in money. It feels like even if we fall into failure, he just says it's great.

"I thought it might be good for us to meet and discuss things."
