Jojo : The videos till now were all packed with many surprises right.

Everyone : Of course , Damn they were amazing.

Jojo : Haha , Then let you all something. The next comming videos are all even more exciting. These comming videos will blow your mind.

Everyone : Ohh HELL YEAH....

Jojo : So before we go into them how about we see something relaxing.

Ike : What do you mean by that.

Jojo : Something like that of a romantic confession video.

Girls : Kyaaaa~~~~

Wow the girls are all really into this.

But ..

Ryuuen : What ? Who gives a crap about some lame romance.

Housen : Just show as the real things not some love crap .

They both reacted with clear disgust on their face.

Jojo : Hey don't worry. This is just one video that I'm showing them for a peace of mind. After this I will be showing all the videos filled with action , suspense , thrilling and dangerous moments , cruelty , unexpected revelations and mind blowing strategies and many other stuffs.

Ryueen/Hosen : Haa , fine.

Sakayanagi : Fufu , I can't wait to see all these videos.

Kei : ' Romantic confession ? Don't tell me is this God going to show that when Kiyotaka confessed to me. Wait wait wait.. I'm not ready for it no no that's not it I want to reveal to everyone that I and Kiyotaka are dating but but right now I'm not mentally prepared for it. Ahh mouu... God please help me.'

Jojo : yes how may can I help you .

Kei : Haa wait how di‐

Jojo : This is telepathy. Did you already forgot.

Kei : Haa oh yeah I know. Are you really going to reveal our relationship.'

Jojo : Yeah of course I will but I won't do it now.

Kei : So this video is not about our‐

Jojo : This video is about ayanokouji but it won't be about you Karuizawa.

Kei : Huh what do you mean. Wa‐wait d‐does that mean k‐ki‐Kiyotaka is-

Jojo : No he is not. He only has one girlfriend and that is you Karuizawa.

Kei blushes a little.

Kei : Of course that's right. Kiyotaka will never cheat on me. But then what are you going to show.

Jojo : Don't worry. Just watch it and you will understand everything.

Jojo : So are you all ready

Everyone : Yeah.

Jojo : Then let's get into it.

Kobashi : Hey its honami‐chan.

Ichinose : 'Oh thank God it's not that confession video from the deserted island.'

Asashina : When is this video from.

Dio : During sudo's second expulsion.

Sudou was practically very embarrassed and hung his head down.

Amikura : Hey honami‐chan don't tell me..

She asked in a teasing way.

Ichinose started to become tomatonose.

“Thank you very much. It’s been a pleasure.” The girl spoke these

grateful words to the dormitory manager, then called out to me.

“Hey, Ayanokouji-kun! Good morning. You’re early.”

She had beautiful long, wavy hair and big eyes. The second button of

her blazer strained over her large chest. Her upright posture matched her

dignified personality. I found myself more attracted to her cool temperament

than how cute she was. Ichinose Honami, that first-year Class B student, had

found me again.

Kei : ' Why does he observe every other girls like this. I really need to have a talk with him later.'

Kobashi : Oh oh he's complementing you honami‐chan.

Amikura : He says he's attracted to you. I wonder now what he meant.

She's clearly teasing Ichinose.

Ichinose : Stop it guys.

“I woke up a little earlier today. What were you talking about with the

manager?” I asked.

“Some people from my class wanted to make requests about their

dorms. I gathered everyone’s thoughts on the matter and told the dorm

manager. Stuff like water usage, noise, and so on.”

“You did all that, Ichinose?”

Usually, individuals handled their own room issues. I wondered why

Ichinose had gone to the trouble of gathering everyone’s complaints.

Chihiro : That's just the type of person honami‐chan is.

Kobayashi : Yep, she helps everyone.

Tsubaki : But isn't that like too much work to do. Don't you get tired of doing all this Ichinose‐senpai.

Ichinose : O-oh no not at all. It's my duty as the class rep and I like helping all my friends.

“Good morning, Class Rep Ichinose!”

Two girls who were getting off the elevator called out to Ichinose. She

said hello back.

“Class Rep? Why Class Rep?” I asked.

I hadn’t heard of any “class rep” position before. Perhaps they called her that because she seemed to study too much.

“I’m my class’s representative. It seems like that, anyway.”

“Your class’s representative? Do all classes except for D have someone

like that, too?”

Hashimoto : Basically by that time almost every class would have a leader or representative.

Shibata : Yeah that's how it basically works.

Hosen : Haha, You defects can't even find a leader by that time.

Class D just glared at hosen but didn’t say anything.

Ryueen : Kuku, Don't say such things to them gorilla.

Hosen : Shut up skinny guy.

That was the first I’d heard about this. Normally I would’ve been

surprised, but considering who our homeroom teacher was, she’d probably

decided to leave that part out.

Ike : Well that's just how our sensei was.

“No, that’s just something Class B set up on its own. I think it’s good

to have some assigned roles, right?”

I understood her point, but we certainly weren’t going to assign our

own class representative.

“Are there other positions besides class representative?”

“Yeah. Whether or not they serve a function is a different question, but

we do have other roles for formality’s sake. Stuff like vice class

representative, and secretary. They could be more useful when we have a

cultural fair, or sports festival, or something. We could try deciding things on

the spot, but that might lead to trouble.”

I recalled seeing Ichinose in the library before, studying with a small

group of boys and girls. Even back then, she’d probably already been

fulfilling her class representative duties. Most people wouldn’t want to be

class representative. They’d be forced to do annoying stuff, and it’d be

necessary to participate in face-to-face discussions about school matters.

However, with Ichinose taking the initiative for Class B, she probably didn’t

foist things on others. I’d bet she handled her duties smoothly.

Kanzaki : That's certainly true.

“Seems like you’ve taken the lead. Of Class B, I mean.”

Without meaning to, it appeared I’d expressed my honest feelings.

Shinohara : That was fast. It took us a semester before we got a leader. But I guess it's to be expected of Ichinose-san.

Matsushita : That's certainly true afterall Ichinose-san is a very capable person.

Ichinose : It's nothing like that it just seemed convenient that's all.

“Do you think it’s weird? It’s all purely informal. Besides, there are

quite a few troublemakers. We have to deal with a lot of stuff.”

As she said, “We have to deal with a lot of stuff,” Ichinose laughed.

Amikura : She's definitely talking about you shibata‐kun.

Shibata : Heyyy

Class B students laughed at this.

The two of us began walking to school together.

Ichinose stopped, almost as if she’d just remembered something. I tried

reading her face, noting that she wore a serious expression.

“Hey… There’s something I want to ask you, Ayanokouji-kun. Is that

okay?”

It was like that bright, cheery Ichinose of a moment ago had

disappeared. My body stiffened slightly.

Asashina : Ohh you look pretty serious there Ichinose.

Kobashi : Wow it's suprising to see you like that honami‐chan.

Amikura : Yeah even I'm suprised.

“If it’s something I can answer, I will.”

Besides, what question couldn’t I answer with my massively impressive brain, filled with the knowledge of a hundred million books?

Hashimoto : Wa‐wait whatt.

Ike : Hundred million books.

Sakayanagi : fufufu.

Kamuro : ' Why is she laughing, creepy.'

Katsuragi : Did you just lie to yourself or were you just joking.

Ayanokouji : Well it's not possible for someone to read that many books.

Sakayanagi/Ryuuen/kei : ' I won't be suprised if his brain is filled with that many books.'

Horikita : So do you lie like that in your mind too.

Ayanokouji : Well maybe.

Jojo : Well let me clear this up for you. This is all his real thoughts but as far as credibility goes I can't give you any guarantees. Well if we are watching from his perspective then I'd say that he's a bad author. He doesn't think of things that would naturally pop in your head. Even when he's strategising it's not showing in his thoughts. His thoughts are really organized it's like he's lying to himself.

Everyone sat there with their mouth agape.

Ryueen : ' kuku , that fucking monster even lies in his own mind.'

Sakayanagi/Amasawa : 'As expected of ayanokouji-kun/senpai.'

Yagami : ' Tch ....'

Tsukishiro : ' Well he is a masterpiece after all.'

“Has a girl ever confessed her feelings to you?”

Amikura : Hehe ~~ it seems somethings going own.

That…wasn’t in the any of the hundred million books I’d read.

Kanzaki : your really are contradicting yourself.

Katsuragi : You really lie in your own thoughts.

“Really? Do I look like a guy who’s ever had a girl confess her feelings

to him?”

Asahina : Really, no one ever confessed to you before.

Ayanokouji : is it that suprising.

Matsushita : Well from the way things are now, it might start to change soon.

She said with a slight grin.

I saw kei staring at me with a blank face, honestly it's scary. Even though she's really cute and all sometimes kei can be really scary.

Was she going to call me disgusting, or a virgin, or a shitty moron?

Would I cry? I was still only a first-year high school student, you know? It

was way too early for this. Right? Hey. You think so too, right? Besides, I

was certain that, proportionally, the number of people who had confessed

their feelings was low compared to those who hadn’t. It was a baseless

theory, though. Who knew the real number of people who had died in

solitude, hidden in the shadows of humanity’s prosperity?

Ichinose : No no I would never say anything like that to you ayanokouji‐kun.

Haruka : Kiyopon you need to stop being such a pessimist.

Katsuragi : I can't actually tell if you're the same guy who won the island exam and the person who did that to Karuizawa and got that audio by blackmailing manabe. It's like a whole different person.

Kei : ' Why does Kiyotaka keep bad mouthing himself. When will he realize that he is 100 times better than them all. I really need to give him a good lecture. I can't let my boyfriend acting all down like this. As his girlfriend I need to cheer him up.'

“Oh no, I’m sorry. It’s nothing.”

It didn’t look like it was nothing. However, it did look like she didn’t

plan to make fun of me. Rather, she was actually worried about something.

“Did someone confess to you?” I asked.

“Huh? Oh, yeah. Kind of.”

Class B : Whattt

Amikura : What ? We never heard anything about it.

Kobashi : Who was it. Why didn't you tell us anything about it honami‐chan.

Ichinose : Don't worry it will be shown.

They all became too interested to see on what's about to happen.

It seemed like many students were striving every day to couple up like

Hirata and Karuizawa.

“Well, if you’re okay with it, can you spare a little time after class? I

have some questions about confessions. I know all too well how busy you are

with the incident right now, but…”

“Sure, that’s okay. I don’t really have much to do.”

“Don’t have much to do?”

“I don’t think there’s much point in looking for evidence or another

witness. Doing that would be a waste of time and a headache.”

“But you went to the scene of the crime the other day to investigate,

right?”

“That was for something else. Anyway, it’s fine.”

Katsuragi/kanzaki : ' He already accomplished what he need at that time there.'

“Thank you.”

I wondered what all this confession stuff had to do with me. Had she

made up a lie like “Ayanokouji is my boyfriend” to mislead people? I

considered it for a moment, but then thought it’d be smarter for her to use a

more reliable, pretty boy.

Ichinose : ' Am I really thar easy to read. No it's only because it is Ayanokouji-kun.'

Amasawa : You really are handsome senpai , right girls.

A F C : Yeah , senpai is really handsome.

Why can't they just shut up.

“I’ll be waiting at the school entrance after class.”

“O-okay. I understand.”

SCENE CHANGE

Students overflowed through the school doors as they made their way

home. I was a little worried about finding Ichinose, but my anxieties quickly

disappeared. She stood out even in this sea of students. Although her cuteness

could have been one reason why, she also had the type of presence that

dominated wherever she was.

To be honest, I didn’t really know how to describe it. I could only

describe it as an intoxicating, gentle power. A power that was amplified by

how many of the first-year students recognized her. It was similar to Kushida,

but even more so. Ichinose was popular with boys and girls alike. They

greeted her one after another. Because of that, I wasted about five minutes

just trying to find the right time to call to her myself.

Ichinose : I'm sorry for that ayanokouji-kun. I didn’t realize you were there.

Ayanokouji : it's no problem.

“Ah. Ayanokouji-kun. Over here, over here!”

Ichinose eventually noticed me and called me over. Pretending like I’d

only just arrived, I casually raised my hand.

“So, what should I do next?” I asked.

“I plan to finish this as soon as possible. Follow me.”

I put on my shoes and followed Ichinose to the other side of the

building. We arrived at a spot right behind the gymnasium. This did seem

like the kind of place where someone would confess their feelings.

I saw Shiranami flinched from this. It seems like she's finally realized what's about to happen.

“Now then…”

Ichinose took a deep breath, and faced me. No way… Did Ichinose

plan to confess to me?!

Ike : What

Miyamoto : No way

Hashimoto : Woah did she really

“I think…”

No way, there was no way this could—

Kanzaki : Did she really..

“I think someone will confess their feelings to me here,” she said.

“Huh?”

Everyone : HUH

Amikura : Wait so does that mean you didn't.

As the truth came to light the tension building up fell down especially in class B.

Kanzaki : ' Oh thank God.'

Kobashi : I really thought you were going to confess to him.

Miyamoto : Ha I knew it there's no way she will ever confess to guy like that.

Hondou : haha, yeah you're right.

Kei and some of the girls glared at them.

Kei : ' Arhh, I really wanna beat these fucking idiots up.'

With that, Ichinose took out a letter and showed it to me. It was a cute

love letter adorned with a heart sticker. Although she wanted me to read it, it

felt rude to look. The handwriting was pretty, much like the letter’s exterior. The handwriting was cute, definitely not like a boy’s.

Hashimoto : Huh, it was not from a boy.

Shibata : Not a boy ? Did a girl confess to you Ichinose-san.

She didn't say anything. She probably didn't want to put Shiranami go through embarrassment.

I noticed something that concerned me. The meeting time and location

were written in the letter. It was set for Friday evening at 4:00 PM, behind the

gymnasium. That was about 10 minutes from now.

Ishizaki : Wow that's too sudden.

“Wouldn’t it be better if I weren’t here?” I asked.

“Love is kind of alien to me. I don’t how to respond without hurting

her feelings. I also don’t know if we can stay good friends afterwards. I want

you to help me.”

“I don’t really think I’m the person to ask for this. I don’t have any

experience with romantic confessions. There are probably other people in

Class B who could help.”

Class B girls : Of course we are always here to help you.

“The person confessing her feelings to me…is from Class B.”

Mostly everyone : Oh

Shibata : What really.
