Product Information

And meanwhile, something happens that may significantly change the relationship between some students. Koenji declared that despite Kiyotaka being 'relatively talented', he is nothing more of a childish existence to him like many other students. Nagumo then told the two first years to leave quickly as he has something to discuss with his senior.

He then sees Hashimoto leaving the room and decides to follow after him, disregarding the possibility that he might just be going for a toilet break. Misinterpreting the scene as to making him uncomfortable, Ichinose attempts to straighten up, but was stopped by Kiyotaka as he internally remarked that "it's not uncomfortable at all" and did not want her to overextend herself for his sake. Ryuuen attempts to leave but was stopped, causing him to glare maliciously at Nagumo whom simply laughed it off. Neuware -ROUGHING ITThe third semester kicks off in high gear with a special boot camp deep in the mountains. Kiyotaka continues to lend her a listening ear and asked what she intends to do if someone close to her is on the brink of expulsion.

During dinner, Ayanokoji decides to make his move, he had told Kei to look for Nazuna Asahina and he chose to tail her during dinner. They then begun speculating whether she was going out with the student council president since she was seen often with him, which caused Ichinose to resolutely reject such a notion as she harbours nothing of that sort for him, further saying that it is purely a platonic work type relationship. Kiyotaka was surprised as she doesn’t usually show her defenceless side to others, causing him to gawk at the unexpected sight of her leaning on the table emphasising some body parts. From here on out, I think Ayanokōjikun and I will work out a plan to deal with Ishigami-kun together. I don't like involving myself in situations which have nothing to do with me, and don't expect me to pity her.

Other students began crowding around her, which Kiyotaka laments that it must be hard being popular.

I ended up exchanging glances with Kanzaki, who coincidentally entered the bath at the same time I did. Meanwhile, in the morals classroom, it is explained that they will need to give a speech everyday, with the theme differing depending on the school year. The two ends up discussing the difficulty of forming groups, with Kiyotaka mentioning that Ryūen was openly disliked.
