Ryunosuke left Arisu's dorm and hurried to find Hirata. After all, Hirata was the official surface-level spokesperson. Nearly half the students in class supported him, so who else could be contacted if not him?
Without much ado, Ryunosuke arrived at Hirata's residence and knocked on the door.
Hirata immediately opened it and invited him in. Before coming, Ryunosuke had already given him a heads-up, and Hirata realized the importance of this matter.
This was a rare opportunity for the people in class not to worry about class points for a short while.
As soon as he entered, Ryunosuke immediately spotted an annoying figure — namely, Yamauchi Haruki.
Yamauchi was Hirata's roommate. At the moment, he was sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, leisurely looking at a photobook of sexy girls.
Yes, he was looking at it openly without caring about Hirata's feelings at all.
Hirata could only pretend not to see it.
When Yamauchi saw Ryunosuke arrive, he only glanced briefly before ignoring him. He truly hated this man.
There were rumors circulating that Ryunosuke had a girlfriend — maybe even more than one. That was because he was always surrounded by many girls; he was often spotted by other male students together with girls from different classes.
Sakayanagi Arisu from Class B, Ichinose Honami from Class A, and Shiina Hiyori from Class D had all been seen alone with Ryunosuke.
Whether the rumor was true or not, Yamauchi believed it and felt very displeased.
(I'm clearly far more handsome than him! Why are all the girls he gets so pretty, while I haven't met a single one!)
Thinking about this made Yamauchi fume. He immediately turned his body away from both of them and continued looking at his photobook alone.
Hirata scratched his cheek awkwardly. "Sorry, Yamauchi-kun is just like that — don't take it to heart."
Ryunosuke showed an uncaring attitude. He knew very well what kind of person this was; he had no intention of being a caretaker or cleaning up the mess created by this troublemaker. However, he remained vigilant.
He invited Hirata to chat outside so Yamauchi wouldn't overhear their conversation, as he felt this person could ruin the plan.
Hirata agreed. This matter was big, and he knew Yamauchi couldn't be relied upon, so it was better not to involve him.
The two of them left the dorm, leaving Yamauchi alone in the room grinding his teeth.
(Damn it! Do they think I want to know? Is there some secret business that I'm not allowed to know about? Tch, I don't need to know anyway!)
Yamauchi turned his body back around and focused on his photobook again... To him, the pretty ladies in the magazine understood him far better — their outfits were so revealing, oho!
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
On another front, Ryunosuke and Hirata found a private karaoke room to sit and discuss the next plan.
Hirata agreed very quickly, but...
"Sorry... Akasaka-kun, on my side I can only guarantee 18 people will agree. As for the rest..." Hirata spoke with a hesitant tone.
Without needing explanation, Ryunosuke understood that Class C was currently split into three major powers:
Hirata's group of 18 people.
Kushida's small group of 8 people.
Kei's gang of 5 gyaru girls.
The rest were loners or small groups of two.
Suzune and Ayanokouji didn't need to be worried about; they would definitely side with them.
Suzune only needed to be triggered with matters concerning her older brother, and she'd immediately agree.
The most troublesome was the Yamauchi trio; Ryunosuke felt those three, especially Yamauchi, most likely wouldn't comply.
Getting Hirata's support had already solved half the problem. He volunteered to handle Kei's side; he was confident he could convince those five girls.
As for Kushida's side, Hirata felt there was no major problem because in his view, Kushida would never harm class interests.
Hearing Hirata praise Kushida the "Dark Angel," Ryunosuke's expression became very subtle. Another person deceived by Kushida's outer appearance...
He felt this Dark Angel wouldn't be easily handled. Since Kei's matter had been handed to Hirata, Kushida's part automatically became his task.
◆━⊰✿✧✿⊱━◆
A moment later, Ryunosuke stood before Kushida.
Kushida looked at him with a sweet smile, but Ryunosuke felt malicious intent behind it. And sure enough, moments later...
Kushida blinked her large, beautiful eyes, displaying her usual acting skills. She approached him in a flirtatious manner and said:
"If Akasaka-kun can make me become good friends with Horikita-san, I'll agree to your request. If not..."
Kushida's face immediately changed 180 degrees. Her gaze became extremely cold, and a devil-like whisper came from her mouth. "If Akasaka-kun can't make me friends with Horikita, then today next year will be the anniversary of your death!"
Ryunosuke: "😐"
In the end, he was forced to agree. He brought Kushida to Suzune's dorm.
Ryunosuke knocked softly, and the door soon opened.
Suzune poked her head out with confusion, looking at him at the door.
"What business do you have looking for me again?"
Ryunosuke was about to speak, but he was immediately pushed aside by Kushida. Seeing her approach, Suzune reflexively furrowed her brow and moved to close the door. Kushida quickly held the door and explained.
"Horikita-san! I want to be friends with you!!"
The two of them engaged in a tug-of-war with the door; one wanting to close it, one wanting to open it.
Ryunosuke stood to the side watching, finding this scene quite entertaining. Kushida gritted her teeth and glanced at him irritably.
"What are you looking at?! Hurry up and help me!!!" Kushida stopped pretending and showed her true nature.
After all, both of them already knew what she was really like, so she was too lazy to put on an act. Whether it was Suzune who went to the same middle school as her, or Ryunosuke who had already seen her true face, there was no reason for her to hide.
Ryunosuke scratched his hair in confusion, then stepped forward to help Kushida. "Suzune, just hear her out for a moment."
"How many times must I say it? Don't call me Suzune! I'm not that close to you."
Suzune opened the door roughly, nearly making Kushida stumble if not supported by Ryunosuke from behind. Since the door was now wide open, both of them entered the room.
Suzune lived alone in a single-person dorm. The main reason was that other girls didn't want to live with her and preferred to squeeze in with others.
This showed just how unpopular she was. But Suzune didn't care. To her, that wasn't her concern; she only needed to do her own tasks.
Suzune sat on the edge of the bed, looking at both of them coldly. "Say it — what business do you have looking for me?"
She didn't even bother to get chairs for them to sit in. This attitude was really...
No wonder she has no friends...
Ryunosuke and Kushida, for the first time, shared the same thought in their hearts.
