I WAS ASKED BY that guy Hashimoto to create contact with Ayanokōji.
This morning, while I stood by, ready to leave at any moment, I received a call.
I got a report that Ayanokōji had been spotted leaving the dorms.
Most of the surveillance targets were the ones Sakayanagi specified, but this Ayanokōji was someone that part of the class had been independently monitoring.
It wasn't anything special.
Class A was always keeping their eyes on a lot of students.
Who was connected to who, who got along well and who didn't. Even useless information was gathered.
That was why there weren't too many students who paid attention to Ayanokōji's monitoring.
From an outsider's perspective, he was just one of the many targets of surveillance.
Hence, even if I desired this information, it shouldn't raise any suspicions.
Winter break would soon be over, and the limit for seeing it as a hassle and procrastinating was approaching.
Besides, for the last few days, Karuizawa had been clinging onto Ayanokōji, and I had been continuously unable to make contact.
I quickly left the dorm and headed for the location indicated by the latest sighting.
And sure enough, I easily found the back of the person I was looking for.
"Tsk."
I inadvertently clicked my tongue. I thought it was just Ayanokōji, but it seemed I was wrong.
If I turned back now and missed this opportunity, the next time might already occur in the third term.
If Hashimoto called me by my first name again because I avoided contact, I'd get goosebumps...
"...If it isn't Karuizawa, I'll manage… somehow."
I had no other choice but to forcefully use this chance to break through.
"It seems like you're being quite ostentatious early in the new year."
With blatant disgust, I called out to Ayanokōji and approached him.
"I just saw you on a date with Karuizawa at the end of the year. Did you start going out with a different girl as soon as the new year began?"
It was an unobtrusive reason to speak up, since we hardly ever interacted.
Well, even if I had no business with Ayanokōji, I despised guys who cheated on multiple women.
"They're totally different types of girls. What were you thinking?"
I couldn't help but feel irritated when I saw a man who couldn't value someone.
Since I truly despised him, there was no way Ayanokōji could perceive my true intention for making contact.
Today, I aimed to just vent my emotions by digging into this guy.
I had to gauge whether he would be a threat to Class A or not.
By doing so, I would fulfill my promise with Hashimoto and get rid of his unnecessary usage of my first name.
I don't really have to do this... What am I even doing getting so worked up...
While harboring such cold feelings, I first directed my gaze with the intention of sending Shiina back.
