letting this anxiety show through.
"Anyhow, isn't Kiyopon the calmest one here?"
"It's just that there's nothing I can do. My thoughts have been filled with uneasiness."
"Don't worry. Thanks to Horikita, things aren't looking too bad anymore. Rather, it's kinda like you've been saved by her."
If it weren't for Horikita, there's a good chance that most of the class would've faced the exam without knowing anything about what had been happening.
Without even a second thought, they would've gone and cast their vote for me just to save themselves.
An outcome like that was far too easy for me to imagine.
"But… I wonder how Horikita-san found out about Yamauchi-kun's betrayal."
Airi casually posed a crucial new question.
"Our group is close with Kiyotaka-kun, so it makes sense that none of us heard anything about it, right? I thought Horikita-san would be in the same kinda situation as us is all…"
"That's true… It doesn't seem like Horikita tried to go and form a group either."
Yamauchi was probably frustrated about this as well. He was most likely thinking that someone in the large group he had created betrayed him, even going as far as to spill everything to Horikita.
In the first place, he probably wouldn't have been able to notice the information leak, nor do anything about it.
"I don't know who, but there must've been somebody who didn't want Kiyopon to be expelled, right?"
"Probably. At least there's one good egg in the bunch."
None of them were able to realize that this 'somebody' was both Kei and myself.
