The Irregular At Elite High School's
Chapter 15 Bond

"So.how much do you ask for?"

Natsumi asked as she followed me towards the main building of the school.

"How much.. What do you mean money?"

"of course. Isn't that what you mean?"

His mind is really simple. Yeah, what can I do. Kids like him only know how to solve things with money.

"Sorry, I don't need your money."

"Why?"

Natsumi immediately blocked my path.

"What do you want to do?"

Asking anxiously, I could feel his despair.

"you reckon? Can't you guess?"

"Where do I know, you son of a bitch! All I can give you is money. What else is it?"

I pointed at him while trying to give him a hint. But then somehow, the reaction that came from him was beyond my expectations.

The skin of his snow-white cheeks suddenly looked reddish.

"K-K-You...?"

Her lips were shaking uncontrollably. The words he spoke were disjointed and unclear.

"Ja-Don't tell me that what you want is actually..my body?"

After making the extreme accusations, Natsumi took her distance and put up the defensive horses. He was like a martial artist ready

"It turns out to be true, all men are wolves."

'Hoi..! Think before you speak. Doesn't that apply to your father as well?'

"But what can you do.. It must be hard, right?"

What's he saying? Here I began not to understand the contents of this woman's head.

"Good body and beautiful face.it must be difficult not to be tempted?"

"...."

I don't know what to call. He spoke, but I was ashamed. Really am.. How could anyone so confidently boast like that.

'Ah, this is a waste of time.'

Natsumi came back after me who was about to leave..

"If it's not my body, then what do you want?"

"..."

"That's your fault for pointing here and making me think like that, right?"

I stopped and breathed too. I'd better clear this up before there's another misunderstanding.

"Then I'm sorry."

"Eh? I-I-I'm sorry too."

"Keep up.. Is this deal still going to go ahead?"

"Help me with what you want from me."

"I don't think that's a hard thing for someone like you. So this time let me say it clearly. The thing I really want from you is information."

Natsumi who heard my request immediately lowered her guard.

"..What do you want information about? I doubt you have the information you need. I'm not very smart and my knowledge is also not broad."

"If you don't have it, just look for it."

"Huh?"

"I want an updated infromation from one of the students at this school and give it to me regularly."

"Wait a minute. Isn't that gonna make me look like a stalker?"

"Oh, so you don't want to? Just finish the quest by yourself."

Natsumi held my arm in panic.

"Who said I don't want to?!"

"... Continues to?"

"alright. I accept."

Natsumi finally made up her mind to accept the offer. In this way, my plan for revenge seems to be progressively smoother.

"Keep, who exactly is he.. This miserious student I should be stalking?"

"Oh yes. I forgot to say. That guy is..."

***

"..Mi."

"Natsu's.."

"NATSUMI!!"

The call immediately drew my soul back to the real world.

"Ah, sorry.sorry."

"...Why you?"

Ask a student sitting in front of me. Tomatsu Mika, he was my classmate in 1-D grade.

"Are you not feeling well?"

He asked with a slightly worried face.

"What a ga. Just thinking of something."

".. I think it's something heavy so you can't eat it."

He pointed to a plate of omelets on my hadanpku that I still had no time to touch.

"I-yes. This is something that's confusing enough."

I started to take a bite of rice and put it in my mouth.

"What is that..."

"...is the relationship male?"

The unexpected question from Tomatsu made me almost choke. What was he thinking, how could he think in that direction?

It can't be.. Did he hear the thing I was talking to Shunsaku about?

"Eh? So right, huh?"

"Ga, it's not there!"

".. Suspicious."

"Su-I told you.. It's not because-"

The atmosphere of the canteen suddenly turned boisterous. The attention of the people seemed to be on a woman who walked into the cafeteria hall.

Shiny straight black hair. Beautiful face is charming. The powerful charisma that makes anyone who sees it instantly realize that he is not an arbitrary person.

"Ichiji Sei."

Tomatsu was also observing the woman.

"Eh? Ichijian.. That woman?!"

I refused to believe.

"Yes, that's Ichiji Sei. Look, with such wealth and appearance, it feels like he already has everything. It's different compared to us."

Hearing that opinion somehow made my blood go up to my head. I didn't know the woman and I never even talked to her.

But.. I don't know why...

"I don't feel like I'm losing."

"..."

"really right? From the appearance of my face is also no less beautiful than her."

"..."

Tomatsu remained silent and unblinking.

"Sorry, forget what I just said."

I picked up my chopsticks and started eating the lunch that had been on the table since.

This food does not taste as good as usual. All because of that woman.

'Ichiji Sei."

He was the one that Shunsaku asked me to spy on.

At first I didn't understand what the purpose was to ask me to do that. However, after seeing what the woman looked like directly, I felt like I understood.

Yeah, no more wrong. There's only one possibility. That Shunsaku.. She must be in love with Ichiji Sei.

Come onl.. I knew men would be lured easily to such women. But at least he should be aware that such a woman is far beyond his reach.

Than that Ichiji, why not go after the woman he still might be able to get? Well, maybe like a woman he's been talking to maybe.

Also true. I think maybe that's the kind of woman he's supposed to be looking for. For example, like myself

'Ha?!

A-A-A-A-p.. Whahuh? What did I just think??

Am I crazy?!!'

The library is the best place to find peace. The smell of a typical book and the sound of paper appearing while turning the page was a pleasure for me.

The reason I visited the library this time was much different compared to usual. Not to read a book and enjoy the tranquility of life, this time I came over having affairs with someone.

"Can we start?"

Ask Natsumi who is sitting across the table. He folded his arms as if impatiently waiting for me to discuss the contents of this meeting.

"All right, let's start.

First, the content of your quest is an inter-class Olympics in the first year where each quest recipient will be a representative of their respective class.

Furthermore, from five existing subjects, for example A, B, C, D and E. will be drawn two subjects which will be tested in the Olympics.

Lastly, the highest-rated participants alone declared successful in completing the quest."

"So, since first year students are divided into four classes, this means that there will only be one person who escapes and three people who fail this quest."

"It's clear, right?"

Ntasumi. But on his face was a clear tension and anxiety

"Then what's your strategy?"

"The strategy is certain.. First of all.."

"..."

"Yes learn."

I could see the veins in his head appearing as if he was about to explode hearing that answer.

"Hm.. Don't you have no idea."

"Yeah idea? Try thinking again.. Don't you think that's the most reasonable answer in your situation?"

"But it-"

"I didn't tell you to learn everything."

"..."

"Natsumi, what subjects do you believe the most about those five?"

"English.. Maybe?"

"alright. Then from now on you focus on that one subject only."

"What about the rest? What if I get a zero on another subject tested? Or the worst.. The English language is not even tested."

"That's no problem."

"MY SHUNS?!"

"Saturday!"

A student suddenly appeared behind us.

"I guess you're talking about something really exciting."

Said Ichiji Sei while giving a sharp look towards us.
