Chapter 63

Right now I am on my way to the third floor of the middle school division. Along the way, only a few students can be seen walking to their own clubs or heading home. When I arrived at the stairs, Kei was there gently waving her hand to me with a smile.

"I thought you were going to wait on the third floor?" I asked with a pleasant smile.

"Hehe, it's fine. It's already empty anyway." Kei answered with a dazzling smile.

"*Chuckled* Anyway, sorry, did you wait long?" I said.

"No, senpai. I also just come." Kei answered with a smile.

"Hn? It's like a date isn't it?" I smirked and said.

"I-it is... A-at any rate, let's go. I already checked before, Ishigami-san indeed still in his class." Kei said to subtly change the topic.

'Looks like you wait for some time. You even checked the situation first. What an adorable girl...' I thought as I looked at Kei.

"*Chuckled* Let's go then. Hope we're not late." I chuckled and said.

We leisurely climbed the stairs to the third floor together. When we're about to climb from the second floor a voice of a boy can be heard.

I gently take Kei's hand to stop her and place my index finger in front of my lips. Kei, who understands my meaning nodded. I leaned my back to the wall, and Kei also does the same beside me. Then she closed her eyes as if to focus her hearing.

The boy was talking to someone on the phone. Even without asking, we both know he was talking with a girl. I know this is most likely Ogino.

It just a feeling at first, but after sensing another presence on the fourth floor in front of the door to the rooftop I know it is indeed Ogino. The presence who just sitting there listening to his conversation on the phone most likely Ishigami. Not long after, the call ended.

"Girlfriend?" Another voice approached and asked.

"Whoa?! You were there?!" Ogino asked with a startled expression.

"Haha, you heard? How embarrassing. Yeah, it was my girlfriend..." Ogino answered. Ishigami didn't say anything. I assume he just nodded while looked at Ogino. Not long after the distinctive sounds of footsteps can be heard going down the stairs.

When Ishigami reaches the second floor, he saw Kei and me leaning on the wall. He looked at us and muttered something. Unfortunately for him, I can hear he said 'Tch, Riajuu'. He didn't say anything and walk past us to the first floor.

Because Ishigami needs to investigate the truth first, the main incident most likely happens the day after tomorrow. So I told Kei to do something for me for that day.

---

As I predicted, yesterday Ishigami didn't show up at his class and probably investigating Ogino. Right now Kei and I are in front of Ishigami class early in the morning while holding a voice recorder to record the conversation.

There aren't any students who arrive this early. So yesterday, I told Kei to spread a rumor about an incident that would happen early in the morning to the girls. Because girls would interested in rumor, and they will definitely spread it to boys too.

In addition, a part of the rumor is about Ogino, and Kei told them to not tell him if they want to see. Naturally, Kei didn't use her name for this. It was the typical 'Hey, did you heard the rumor? I heard it from my friend, A.'

This kind of baseless rumor works well especially in middle school and high school. So, I assume most students would come either five or ten minutes later.

I stealthily put a sounds barrier to not make them notice us who standing in front of the door right after they went into the class.

*Crack*

"I did all this so nobody would find out... and you got a detective involved?!" Ogino said with angered tone.

"So, what's your plan here? Rat me out?" Ogino instantly added with angered tone.

"I don't want to make this serious either. Just stop doing this." Ishigami answered thoughtfully.

"Hmm, what a mess. I am dating someone, so I can't let any of this happen. I know, I have a better arrangement. You like Kyouko, right? Come to my place today, I'll lend her to you a few times." Ogino said while showing Ishigami something from his phone.

We can't see it, but I guess it was some indecent photos of either Kyouko or his other girlfriend. Hearing that, Kei gritted her teeth in anger and about to approach him. But, I gently squeeze her hand to stop her because we need the rest of the conversation. Kei calmed down and nodded affirmatively.

Students started to walk passed us one by one while looking for something on the way to their class. They looked at me who wears the highschool uniform and health mask curiously. I assume the students from Ishigami's class already arrived at the entrance by now.

"Oh? Do you get turned on from imagining it? You sure work fast! Don't worry, I'll persuade Kyouko to agree! If not, then I can just forcer her..." Before finished his sentence Ogino was punched in the face till he fell.

"YOU!!!!" Ishigami shouted fiercely in anger. Because of that, many students started to come to his class curiously without minding me who wears high school uniforms.

Ishigami keeps punching Ogino without minding the students who come into his class. Girls were screaming and the boys just looking at them without stopping it.

"Feel better, right? Should we end this?" Ogino whisperingly said, but I can hear it clearly.

"Huh..?"

"I have a drama competition coming. It'll be bad if you beat me any further, please." Ogino intentionally added with a loud voice causing the students to hear it.

"Don't make me laugh!" Ishigami shoutingly said.

"If you withdraw here, I won't do anything to Kyouko." Ogino whisperingly said to Ishigami. Ishigami didn't say anything when hearing that.

Ogino started to stands up, and spouting bullshit about Ishigami can't win Kyouko's love with violence. The students started murmuring to each other while Ogino saying that.

"Ootomo... You should break up with this piece of shit..." Suddenly Ishigami looked at Ootomo and said.

"You're the piece of shit" Ootomo answered with a cold expression. Then other students started to mock and blame Ishigami.

"No... This is insane! I had to beat this guy to pieces! His parents and teachers won't do shit, so I ended up doing it!!" Ishigami shouted fiercely.

"Ootomo... You get it, right? This is insane..." Ishgami added.

"You're the insane one," Ootomo answered with a cold expression.

"No, Ishigami was right. This is insane." Kei and I leisurely walked to the center of the classroom while I opened my health mask.

"Kitahara-sama..?" All students started to say with a surprised expression.

*SLAP* Kei suddenly slapped Ogino very hard.

"You're disgusting," Kei said to Ogino with a disgusted expression.

"And you're such a fool." She looked at Ootomo and said.

"You two are..." Ishigami said as if he remembers our meeting.

"Well, calm down, Kei-chan. I do want to beat up this guy too, but if I am the one who does it, it won't end up as a simple beating up. At any rate, do you want to hear something, everyone?" I smilingly said then I played the recorded sound.

Teachers also started coming and wanted to stop the fight. But when I looked at them with a bit of charm and oppression, they only nodded and stayed to listen to the audio.

"THIS IS! Ogino-kun and Ishigami-kun come with us to the teacher's office!" A teacher shouted after hearing the audio.

"Good luck. Don't worry, you aren't wrong." I gave Ishigami thumbs up and said as the teachers take Ishigami and Ogino.

"Well, with this you guys already hear the truth. There are always two sides of the coin, so if you just hate a person because of the statements from the other side which prettier, it means you are also as disgusting as him. So better be careful of what you said." I said with a serious expression.

"Forgive us, Kitahara-sama..." Many students started to seek my forgiveness.

"I'm not the one who you should apologize to. You already know who. Take this as a lesson, okay. With this, both of us are going to excuse ourselves, see you around." I said. Then Kei and I went away.

---

Right now Kei and I were at the entrance of the middle school division after school waiting for Ishigami to come out.

"Yo! How was the result?" I asked with a smile.

"...Ogino got expelled and I got suspended a week for punching him." Ishigami looked at us with a dazed expression and said.

"Well, it was true you punched him after all. Good thing you didn't get caught up for slapping him, Kei." I laughingly said.

"Humph, I'm not wrong after all," Kei said.

"...Why did you two help me at that time... Even other people instantly started cursing me and universally believed Ogino..." Ishigami asked, but I can see happiness in his eyes.

"To begin with, it's because I know you are a good person. Next is obviously Ogino was in the wrong. And the last is to scout you." I answered.

"Scout me?" Ishigami wonderingly asked.

"You see, next year I will be the student council president. At that time, I wanted you to be my treasury. In exchange, I will give you a place where you can find many people to trust and trust you back, or should I say, friends." I smilingly said.

"You could count me as your friend too, Ishigami-san," Kei instantly added.

"..." Ishigami widened his eyes then tears started to flow from his eyes.

"...Yes, I will! Please let me be your treasury, Kaichou!" Ishigami said tearily.

"It's not Kaichou yet. So right now we're only a friend. Just call me Izumi or with senpai." I smilingly said.

"Okay, Izumi-senpai! Thank you both of you..."
