Homeroom

Suzuki: Ayanokoji. I know you had something to do with the papers.

Kiyone: You're wrong. That was all Kushida.

Suzuki: No it wasn't.

Kiyone: Why would you think that?

Suzuki: Because she isn't smart enough to come up with papers like these that had the exact same questions as the ones on the Midterm.

Kiyone: That was just lucky.

Suzuki: Don't be ridiculous.

Kiyone: Honestly. You can think whatever you want.

Suzuki sighed. Kiyone rested her hand on her hand turning her face away. Chabashira entered the room.

Hirata: Sensei. We... we still haven't received any Private Points. Can we ask what's going on?

Chabashira: There really has been a delay this time so on behalf of the school I apologise.

Many sighed in relief.

Chabashira: As long as things go smoothly you'll receive your points as usual.

Hirata: If things go smoothly?

Chabashira: Class C has issued a complaint against Sudo. They claim that he beat up their classmates.

Sudo: I'm not at fault here! They attacked me first

Suzuki walked up to Sudo.

Suzuki: Even after everything you're still causing trouble you incompetent idiot.

Sudo stood up grabbing his collar.

Sudo: I told you I...

Suzuki grabbed his arms prying Sudo's hands off of him and pushed him to the ground.

Suzuki: Do you have proof or are words all you're worth?

Sudo: Ow! You bastard!

Sudo looked to Kiyone.

Kiyone: Don't look at me. While I sympathize with you Horikita-Kun is right about the fact that you didn't gather evidence.

Sudo looked downcast when Kiyone offered her hand.

Kiyone: Even still I want to help you.

Sudo took her hand getting up.

Kushida: Kiyone-Chan is such a nice person.

She said this hugging her back.

Kiyone: Kushida-San. You're too close.

Kuhsida: Eh? You don't like it?

Kiyone: I prefer having personal space.

Kushida let her go.

Kiyone: we need to find evidence of Sudo's innocence.

Many objected thinking it was better if he was expelled.

Kiyone: You might not like him but we could take a hit to our Class Points if he's expelled. it's better for you all to not take the risk.

Hirata: Ayanokoji-San is right.

They sighed agreeing.

2 Days Later

As expected evidence could not be found.

Suzuki: Sskura-San. She looks as if she knows something. Go ask her.

Kiyone: You're actually helping?

Suzuki: Don't think it's something I'll do often.

Kiyone: Well I'll take it where I can get it.

Kiyone informed Kushida as she approached Sakura but this caused her camera to break.

Kushida: I'm so sorry!

Kiyone: Why don't we come with you to get it repaired?

Sakura: Eh? Okay...

Store

The three girls entered the store and made it to the front of the line when the clerk looked at Sakura with lustful eyes. 

Clerk: I'll need your name, address and... phone number.

Kiyone steps in.

Kiyone: I'll sign it.

Sakura: Eh?

Clerk: Huh but that's...

He smirked.

Clerk: No problem. Just make sure to give it to her when you get it.

They all headed home 

—————————————————————————————————————

Alleyway

The clerk approached Kiyone.

Clerk: Do you like me? Is that why you took her place?

Kiyone: No. I don't.

Clerk: To think a girl as cute as you would like me.

Kiyone: So you won't listen to reason.

The Clerk stepped forward.

Kiyone: Don't do it. I'll report you.

He grabbed her breast for a second before Kiyone backed off.

Clerk: Huh? Feeling shy?

Kiyone: Sakura-San? Did you get the evidence?

Sakura came out of the bushes nervously.

Sakura: How did you know I was there?

Kiyone: Not important.

Sakura: Um... I did.

Clerk: Huh? Shizuku-Chan?

Kiyone: You're going to be famous... no infamous. Assaulting a high school girl like me. Everyone is going to hear about you.

Clerk: What? No!

Kiyone: Just face it. Your life is over.

Clerk: If that's how it's going to be I'll just rape you!

The clerk jumped at Kiyone pinning her to the ground. He reached towards her again only for his face to change into a pained one.

Kiyone: Right on time...

Kiyone pushed The Clerk to the side.

Kiyone: ... Horikita-Kun.

She got up when Suzuki looked at her darkly and grabbed her shoulders.

Suzuki: You stupid dumbass!!! What the hell were you thinking!?

Kiyone: I'm a hero and you're calling me stupid? I sacrificed part of my chastity to gain evidence and this is how I'm treated? How cruel Horiktia-Kun.

Suzuki: So he touched you.

Suzuki kicked the Clerk in the stomach.

Suzuki: Disgusting scum.

He turned to her.

Suzuki: Why did you do this? What if he really did something to you?

Kiyone: But he didn't. Because you had my back and came running when I texted you that I was being followed.

Suzuki: But what if?... Why did you do this? There were other ways!

Kiyone: People like him slip through the cracks because they're hard to convict. Now e have the evidence to ensure he's easy to convict.

Suzuki: Why? Why does it matter?

Kiyone: Because Sakura-San was in danger.

Suzuki: Why you? Why did you have to help her?

Kiyone: Because in the past no one helped me.

Suzuki was taken aback.

Suzuki- Is her past really that bad?

Suzuki: You're even more stupid than I thought. Think about yourself more you idiot. Not everyone will repay you in kind for that.

Kiyone: You did. Even though I had nothing to do wit the papers you believed I did and helped me here.

Suzuki: That's... I just didn't want something to happen to you that could ruin your life.

Suzuki blushed and left as Kiyone put her hand to her heart.

Sakura: Are you okay Ayanokoji-San?

Kiyone: It's nothing. My heartbeat just felt irregular for a second.

Sakura: Oh okay.

After The Trial

Makoto approached Kiyone.

Makoto: Was this your way of proving that Sakura wasn't a liar?

Kiyone: It was all your brother's doing.

Makoto: I that so? Tachibana. There is an opening in the student council right?

Tachibana: Yes there are two. One is as Nagumo's Secre...

Makoto: Other one.

Tachibana: Eh? Well okay. The other one is the treasurer's position.

Makoto: Ayanokoji. Join the Student council.

Kiyon: Nuh uh.

Makoto: What?

(This is a joke.)

Kiyone: I don't think so.

Makoto Wy not?

Kiyone: I think spending energy without reason is wasteful.

Makoto: I see so you'd rather spend your time supporting Suzuki.

Kiyoen: That's not what I mean at...

Makoto: So are you dating my brother yet?

Tachibana: Eh?

Kiyone: Huh? Why do you keep insisting on that?

Tachibana: President. Why are you asking such a thing?

Makoto: Because my little brother is hopeless without this girl. Please take good care of him.

Kiyone: I'm not dating him though.

Makoto smirked and walked off.

Makoto: It will happen soon enough.

Tachibana bowed to Kiyone.

Tachibana: I'm terribly sorry. She's not like this usually.

Tachibana rushed off to catch up to Makoto. Kiyone sighed.

Kiyone: It's not like I would dislike dating him. He's just...

Kiyone sighs leaving.

—————————————————————————————————————

Outside

Suzuki met up with Kiyone.

Suzuki: I really did underestimate you Ayanokoji. Manipulating me like that.

Kiyone: What are you even talking about?

Suzuki: You pointed out the lack of a camera which in turn caused me to plant the false evidence and bear all the risk.

Kiyone: You're just overthinking it.

She tried leaving but Suzuki grabbed her hand.

Suzuki: Why do you keep helping? You're so uncooperative but sometimes you just help out of nowhere.

Kiyone: You really are just overthinking things.

Suzuki: Then hypothetically if I wasn't?

Kiyone: How would I know?

Suzuki walked closer to face her.

Suzuki: Just tell me why.

Kiyone poked him in the forehead with her pointing finger.

Kiyone: You're too close.

Suzuki: I really can't understand you.

Suzuki sighed about to leave.

Kiyone: Hey Horikita. Do you want to go out with me?

Suzuki: What?

Kiyone: If you're going to reject me that's fine as well. I just want an answer.

Suzuki blushed.

Suzuki: I need some time to think about this.

Kiyone: That's fine.

—————————————————————————————————————

The Next Day

Suzuki returned to class and sat down looking at Kiyone.

Suzuki- What's up with her? She's acting like nothing happened yesterday. Yesterday... yesterday.

Suzuki began blushing.

Suzuki- This must all be some kind of manipulation tactic to get me to drop my guard about her manipulating me. Oh god, that sounds so stupid.

Kiyone turned to face him.

Kiyone: You're staring you know. If someone catches it they might assume things. Not that I mind.

Suzuki turned to the front of the class.

Suzuki- Ayanokoji Kiyone. You really aren't just a cutie.
