When I saw her. My leg was immediately exhausted. I fell on her.

And the H.A.R.E.M. protagonist's situation began again.

"W--What are you doing? Ayanokouji-Kun."

I sighed and got off her. "Sorry, Ichinose. I think there is something wrong with me, every time I meet a girl. I always fall on her for no reason."

This time, my leg just couldn't stand. No trip, No step. It's like I became ALS as soon as I saw a girl.

I saw Ichinose blushing a bit but she shook her head.

"So, thank you for that script," I told her.

"It's fine. You said your own words in the end." Ichinose smiled.

"Why did you write that sign?" I asked.

"Oh, I have to tell you first. I saw the president came to the first-year's dorm, so I followed him with curiosity. Then, his sister came to talk to him. According to every Shonen-Jump, I have read, I knew it's going to be a tense scene. Someone should help her. But I ain't her friend. So if I help her, it won't become an impressive scene. Then, I saw you! I remembered that you were with Horikita-San at the library this afternoon."

I understood now. Ichinose probably saw us at the library, so she knew about a study group.

"But I still don't understand why you have to help Horikita."

Ichinose looked at me. "Ayanokouji-Kun. Do you believe in the power of friendship?"

"Power of what?"

"Power of the friendship. It's the most powerful power in Shonen-world." Ichinose smiled with passion. "With it, you can beat the boss, save the world, and make your enemy become a friend. Don't you think it's----fascinating?"

I could see a sparkle in Ichinose's pretty eyes.

"In the last chapter, The scene that Horikita-San confronted her brother had the potential to become a legendary friendship scene. It will help Hoirkita-San's character develop. But It needs a little help from her friend." Ichinose explained.

"So you did all of this just because you want to make this friendship scene?"

"Yes, I really love Shonen-Manga. Naruto, Dragon Ball, Fairy tale. So I'm very excited when I saw those scenes in real life. " She smiled. "If you make you appeared more unique, you could be a Shonen-protagonist, Ayanokouji-Kun. Now you're more like Seinen or Light novel protagonist."

I sighed.

"I have to tell you, I and Horikita aren't friends. We just sit next to each other. Yes, I'm helping her to reach class A. But I'm not her friend."

Ichinose laughed and patted my shoulder. "Don't worry. Every character that said like you, will become friends in the end."

"I afraid it's impossible for me and Horikita."

Ichinose's face became serious immediately. "Trust me, Ayanokouji-Kun. As a Shonen devotee for 30 years----"

"Wait, how old are you?"

"Age is just the number, Ayanokouji-Kun." She laughed again. "Trust me. If Goku can befriend Vegeta, You can befriend Horikita -San too."

I was still curious about something.

"Why do you have to help us with the study group? It'll be easier for your class if one of your rivals was failed."

Ichinose smiled and looked at me like she looked at a kid.

"I never considered other class at the rival, Ayanokouji-Kun. Because in the manga. When you beat your enemy. They will become your friends."

Oh, what a good girl.

I wonder if she had another personality like Kushida. What if she went to kick the wall and screamed "That creepy guy! Gross! Die! Die! Die!" after this?

"Also, I, Ichinose Honami, have a dream, Ayanokouji-Kun," said Ichinose. Why I heard the piano sound?

"What dream?"

"Make this world full of friendship. Everyone is friends. Everyone loves each other. The world will be peaceful. No war. No crime. Just friendship. When that day come, my four horsemen will go around the world. Spread the friendship. People will be infected by friendship---I think I talk too much."

I was afraid of this girl a bit but since friendship was a good thing, I thought she won't be dangerous, will she?

"Oh, this night is too late. I will head to my room." Ichinose said.

"Me too. Thanks for your help again." I bowed.

We walked to the elevator. When it reached the 4th floor. I said goodbye to her then walked to my room.

But there is someone in front of my room.

"Ike?" I raised my eyebrows when I saw Ike laid in front of my room's door. He was comatose. Yamauchi was there too, tried to wake his friend.

"What happened, Yamauchi?" I asked him.

"W--we called you but you didn't answer so Kanji worried that something happened to you, He decided to come to your room." Yamauchi stuttered. "But when he touched the doorknob. His body shook and He was comatose!"

I thought I will go downstairs for a minute. So I left my phone in the room.

I checked at the doorknob and saw an electronics device stick on it.

"What is this?" I turned my face to Yamauchi. "Call Doctor--- I mean Sotomura, please."

Yamauchi nodded. He ran to Doctor's room. For a while. He comeback with the class's electric professional.

"What is this? Doctor." I asked him.

"This is a shocking device, sir." Doctor answered after looked at it. "If you touched it, it will release a little electricity and shock you. Normally, It's not this powerful. It will give you only a little ticklish. Someone modified it more powerful."

"Why did someone put this at your door?" Yamauchi asked.

For assassinate me. I knew the answer. Someone tried to kill me. But luckily, Ike was hurt instead.

"What is this?" Doctor asked after picking something out of the floor.

My eyebrows were jerky when I saw that thing.

The compass.

I smelled the waffles from somewhere.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Ayanokouji, Will you go to the library with me?" Sudo asked me when we met each other on the way.

"Sure. Let's go"

We walked to the library for studying with Horikita.

If It was a week ago, I wouldn't believe this was possible.

But the fact is we had been studying like this for a week.

And it was because of the candy.

Yes, the candy that I received from Nakano K.

The next day after that. I met Hondo studying at the cafeteria. He looked irritability, he gritted his teeth and shook his leg.

"What happened, Hondo?" I asked him.

"I lack sweet, Ayanokouji." He told me. "Do you know sugar can maintain your brain? I used too much brain for the test. I need some sugar!"

"Why don't your bought some?"

"I don't have a point left."

"I will give you a point. Find some sugar, okay?" I asked and recognized something. "Oh, I have candy here. You can have it."

I gave Hondo the Nakano K.'s candy.

"You're so kind. Ayanokouji-Kun. I feel so bad that I can't repay you." He said.

"No problem."

"At least, take these bread." Hondo gave me a 5 slice of bread.

"Oh, you should keep it. I still have a lot of points."

"Nah, it's okay. I'm gluten intolerant anyway. I get this bread from the supermarket's lottery. It's useless for me."

So that is why I get the 5 slices of bread.

I went to the classroom. In the classroom, the girls were doing in the center of the class.

"Hi, Ayanokouji-Kun." Sato greeted me.

"Hi, Sato. What're you guy doing?"

Mori answered instead. "We're making sandwiches. I think we can save our points this way. But we don't have enough bread."

"My bad," said Shinohara. "I remembered the wrong number of bread."

"How much bread is missing?" I asked.

"4 slices."

"Oh, luckily. I have 5 slices of bread. You can take all of this."

Mori smiled happily. "Thank you, Ayanokouji-Kun."

She took Hondo's bread and started making sandwiches. When it finished, she gave me one.

"Here. Ayanokouji-Kun. Please take it as my thanks."

"Oh, thank you, very much."

I nodded and took it. While I was walking to my desk. I heard someone calling me.

"Ayanokouji-Dono."

"Hm. What's wrong? Doctor."

Doctor looked at the girl's group and said. "Let's talk outside."

We got out of the class. Then he asked me.

"Is that----Mori-Himesama's sandwich, sir?" I felt weird when he referred Mori by Himesama.

"Yes, why?"

"Can I have it, sir?"

His face turned red. I understood now.

"Sure, why not? But, don't tell anyone about this, okay? Mori will sad if I give it to others."

"I promised, sir." Doctor smiled and took the sandwich. "I will pay you with this."

He gave me a book. The book named How to repair your computer by yourself?: Technology for dumb.

"This's a good book, sir. You'll learn about how to repair software and hardware. This is my first book to the technology world." He presented.

I didn't interest in technology. But I liked reading. So I read it just for fun.

The next day. When I reached the school. I went to the teacher's room first to submit the work. When I came in. There is only Hoshinomiya-Sensei doing something with the computer.

"Hi, Ayanokouji-Kun." She smiled when she saw me.

"Good morning, Sensei. What're you doing?"

"Oh, this computer is broken. I try to fix it because I need the file for this morning's meeting."

I looked at the screen. It looked like the case study in that book.

"Let me take a look."

I told her and took a look at her computer. It was just a little problem. I did like the book told me. Only 5 minutes, I could fix it.

"Wow. Great job. Ayanokouji-Kun. Are you good at this kind of stuff?"

"Not much. I just read a book about it. Sensei."

"Well, you're good anyway. Oh, I will give this for you as my thanks." She walked to the refrigerator and took the waffles off.

"Here, the best waffle in this school. It's from Moonshine. But only a few people knew this cafe."

"Oh, thanks. My friend---my classmate loves it, too."

"I bought it 2 days ago, So it may be not tasty as when it is fresh from the oven."

"I don't mind it. Thank you again, Sensei."

I bowed then left the teacher's room. I walked back to my class.

When I walked in, I saw Horikita with a grumpy face sat on her desk.

"What's wrong? Horikita." I asked her.

"The Moonshine is closed since yesterday," Horikita said. "I haven't eaten waffles for 2 days."

"It's close? Why? Because you kidnap the chef?"

The compass flew in front of me.

"Wait." Horikita stood up. Her nose sniffed around. "I smell waffles. Where is waffle?"

I decided to take that waffle out. "Here. Hoshinomiya-Sensei gave me. You can have it if---"

"Thank you!"

Horikita took it before I finished my line. She ate it ignoring the classmate's eyes.

"Yes, yes, yes, Suzune love you, waffle-Kun. Suki. Suki. Daisuki. Suzune sorry for said she loves Onii-San more than you. You're the love of her life."

When she finished she turned around to me.

"I'll repay you." She took her flask and did something with it. "Here."

Then, she handed it to me.

"What's it?"

"It's miso soup I cooked by myself. I knew it was worthless compared to those waffles. But I want you to take it. This's my best."

Well, if the lady said so. What kind of simp--I mean, the knight won't take it.

That was the reason why that day, my lunch was ramen with miso soup.

I was at the cafeteria, opened the flask, and poured miso soup into my bowl.

It looked delicious.

"It looked delicious, Ayanokouji."

Ike and Yamauchi came from nowhere.

"Did you cook it yourself?" Yamauchi asked.

"No, Horikita gave me."

"What! Enviable!" Ike screamed.

"Oi, Ayanokouji. Is Horikita your girlfriend?" Yamauchi asked.

"Of course. No. We just sit next to each other."

"Really?"

"Swear with my life."

Ike and Yamauchi nodded.

Ike took the spoon and scooped the soup.

"Can I taste it? Thank you" Then he put it in his mouth without my permission. Why did you ask then?

"Oh! Super delicious!" Ike took another sip. "Freaking good!"

"Really? Let me taste it." Yamauchi said and took the spoon. "You're right! Oh, it's wonderful!"

"Horikita-Chan, please make me miso soup every day!"

Another sip.

Another sip.

Another sip.

Finally, the bowl was empty.

I still didn't taste even a sip.

"Thank you, Ayanokouji! See yah." Ike and Yamauchi said and walked away.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Horikita! Let me taste your miso, please!"

Sudo shouted while bowing in front of Horikita.

"What?" Horikita raised her eyebrow.

"Ike and Yamauchi ate your miso soup and told me it's wonderful. I want to have some but they ate all of it."

Horikita glanced at me. I tried to ignore it.

"Where are Ike and Yamauchi then?" I ask Sudo.

"They have diarrhea so they're at the toilet. I felt like they ate laxative."

"Tch." Horikita clicked her tongue and mumbled. "I'll get you next time, Ayanokouji-Kun."

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." Horikita looked at Sudo. "Why do you want my miso soup that much?"

"I'm a miso lover," Sudo said. "If there is the great miso soup. I'll eat this no matter what."

Horikita squint.

"You will do everything to have it, right?"

"No matter what!"

"So what if I told you to study and pass the test, will you do it?"

"Of course, I will, Horikita-Sensei!"

Sudo screamed and bowed again.

So the waffle addict and the miso lover?

It's going to be fun.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I and Sudo walked into the library. Horikita and others were waiting for us.

"You're late," Horikita said. The seat next to her was still empty.

"Sorry." I bowed and walked to that seat but Sudo sat on it first.

"Come on, Horikita. Let's study---Ouch!" He screamed and bounced off the seat,

"Oi, What's wrong? Sudo." Ike asked.

"Someone put the pin on this seat!" Sudo shouted and took the pin off his butt.

"Tch." Horikita clicked her tongue again and watch me.

Ok, My assassination plan continued, I see.

I felt something dangerous so---

"I am going to look for some book. " I told them. "You can start without me."

I walked into the library. The bookshelf on both sides looked like the maze's wall.

I turned left and smash with someone.

Yes, I fell on her again. Now I wasn't exciting anymore.

Although the girl whose face was only 3 inches away from me was extremely cute.

She is a white-haired girl who warned Ike last week.

I stood up and handed her.

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, thank you. I apologize for my clumsy." She said with a smile.

"No, I apologize. Oh, your paper."

Her paper was scattered over the floor. I helped her collect it.

"Thank you very much." She said.

"No problem."

I took papers from the floor. There was the name on some of them.

She was a class C's student.

I took another paper. But I suddenly halted when I saw the text on that paper.

"Excuse me. Can I borrow this for a while?"

"Sure. " Shiina answered.

"I will return it soon, thank you."

I stood up and ran to the studying group

"You guy. I have to tell you something." I told them.

"What's wrong? Ayanokouji-Kun." Kushida asked with concern.

"I borrowed this from class C's student. " I explained. "It's the list of lessons that's on the test."

"So what? Chabashira-Sensei told us 2 weeks before, remember?" said Yamauchi.

"No, she said the Age of Exploration will be on the test. But there isn't Age of Exploration in this paper."

Everybody is still confused.

Horikita was the first one who realized. She took that paper from me.

"The content of the test isn't the same as our class." She said.

"What?" Yamauchi shouted.

"Is it possible that each class uses a different test?" Kushida said.

"Impossible. If it is like that, it'll impossible to estimate equally."

Horikita pursed her lips.

"It can be only one thing."

I nodded.
