Chapter 72: Act 13: Scene 3
"Hmph! You truly interest me, Ayanokouji-boy! For that, I shall give you this."
Koenji's booming voice caught everyone's attention as he pulled out a small card from his pocket, before throwing it towards Kiyotaka's desk.
The young man picked up the card and saw that it had a picture of Koenji with his usual smile (which he ignored) along with a phone number. It was most likely the man's number, but why would Koenji give it to—
"Call that number whenever you need help dealing with women," the blonde man folded his arms and laughed. "You look like you're about to lose your mind with how many of them flock around you."
With that, everyone's attention shifted from the resident loner to the resident narcissist, as the boys began to ask him what he meant by those words.
Kiyotaka breathed a sigh of relief now that the attention was on Koenji and not him, as he observed the card that was given to him.
To his own surprise, Kiyotaka considered calling the number on the card, which was obviously Koenji's. Of course, he would do it some other time when he's alone because attention's the last thing he wanted to have right now.
"I'll keep the thought in mind. Koenji's not the type to mess around and as far as everyone is concerned, he hasn't really 'helped' anyone else in the class. He just does whatever he wants to do, but no one can deny that he brings results."
Who knows? Maybe Koenji might be able to help him with his problem.
Not that he expected the man to help him deal with the system but if it meant being able to handle ten girls who had the hots for him and counting, then he would accept the help without hesitation.
This does bring up one particular question, though...
What exactly does Koenji know about dealing with girls who all have their attention directed towards you?
~XoX~
After the first bell rang and Chabashira-sensei arrived, the chaos that had ensued earlier began to subside. After all, none of them wanted to create a scene with their teacher around.
Homeroom then began but the damage has already been done, and Kiyotaka was sure that he would feel the consequences of Kikyo, Chiaki, and Kei's actions soon enough.
"...a new month is starting next week, and I can only assume that all of you are eager to receive your points. I am not allowed to say anything but if I had to give my opinion, you have a good chance of getting an increase in your class points, which also means an increase—"
Chabashira-sensei suddenly stopped in her little speech when he saw someone knocking at the door. The woman widened her eyes upon seeing the school chairman right outside the room, with a young girl standing right behind him.
She looked at her class and spoke, "I'll be right back, everyone. Remain in your seats," before heading out to speak with the chairman.
Everyone else turned to the door as well as a result, and they were quickly hit with a wave of nervousness upon realizing who it was.
The chairman of the school was right outside their classroom, talking with their homeroom teacher. Most of them were already worried, thinking that the chairman was here to give them a slap on the wrist for their attitude and such.
On the other hand, people like Kiyotaka and Suzune were simply curious. What was the chairman doing here? Is it because they are truly in trouble for something they did? Was it just an important thing between him and their teacher? Or perhaps an announcement of sorts that concerned the students?
After about a minute of waiting, Sae walked back inside and stood at the podium before clearing her throat.
"Attention, everyone," she told her class. "Today, it appears that a guest will be staying in your classroom for the rest of the day. She may not be your classmate, but I expect all of you to treat her as if she was one."
A guest? Now this was something that none of them saw coming.
The first thing that crossed most of their minds is that it would be a higher-up of the school, but it wouldn't make sense because Chabashira-sensei told them to treat this 'guest' as if he/she was their classmate.
Perhaps it would be someone younger then... maybe a student from another class who's 'visiting' them? But is that even allowed, when the school was really strict about students' attendance?
Either way, homeroom just became more interesting for the students of Class D now.
"I wonder who it could be," Kiyotaka thought to himself, forgetting about his incoming dilemma regarding his heroines for now in favor of seeing who this 'guest' was.
Sae turned to the door, where the chairman stood. "You can come in now."
A young girl wearing an orange blouse with a blue ribbon, a short-length sailor skirt, and black thigh-high stockings then walked inside the room, immediately getting the attention of everyone there due to her overall appeal.
She had straight scarlet hair that was tied into twin tails and laced with red ribbons, and gradient dark-red eyes. It felt as if she could charm almost anyone with her gaze alone and if not, she could entrance them with her body because of how attractive she was.
The girl stood in front of them and smiled, before doing a curtsy.
"Nice to meet you all. My name is Amasawa Ichika. Pleased to be your acquaintance~"
Her voice and eyes were enough to send a lot of males in a frenzy, as they were instantly drawn to the girl's appeal. Considering how down bad some of the boys are, it can be said that they were seduced by Amasawa's voice alone.
"She's so cute and hot! I wonder how— OW!"
"Be quiet, idiot! Chabashira-sensei is just there, you know?"
"I was just complimenting her!"
"You were thinking of something else, I can tell!"
"She's not our classmate? What's she doing here, then?"
"Maybe she's supposed to be our kouhai, but she lives here in the school as a relative of one of the teachers or something..."
"That makes sense... but Wang-san over there is almost the same height as her."
"Apologize right now!"
"What did I say?!"
Kiyotaka remained quiet in his seat, but kept his attention glued towards the scarlet-haired girl who introduced herself. Despite her young appearance, he could tell that there's more to her than what she's letting on.
"I don't believe that this is only a coincidence," he said in his mind. "The chairman of the school wouldn't do this for some random person. This Amasawa Ichika has to be someone of importance for the chairman himself to accompany her and have her introduced as a guest."
His questions would immediately be answered when a pink screen appeared above the girl, which was a familiar sight for him at this point.
"Hm. I'm not surprised that this girl is a heroine, but this does bring up more questions. Like, for instance, how could some girl be recognized as a heroine? Unless I'm right and there's more to Amasawa than what she's letting on."
Despite being seated at the back of the classroom, the young man was able to read the information that's presented in the 'summary' for this Amasawa Ichika.
[Amasawa Ichika: 'Excited Kouhai']
[Relationship Status: ?]
[Affection Points: 0/100]
[Heroine Summary: Ichika is a student of the White Room, raised as a part of the 5th Generation. She is manipulative, cunning, and has a streak for teasing people she finds interesting. She possesses extraordinary abilities, the best of her current generation, but is inferior to you as a whole. She was sent to this school by your father to 'keep an eye on you' as well as to report your progress to him. In truth though, she has wanted to meet you for so long after reading your file in the White Room and currently looks up to you not just as a senpai but as a god of some sort.]
After reading through the girl's summary, Kiyotaka felt genuine surprise at learning that Amasawa was someone who came from the White Room, and that she was sent to this school by his father.
If he had to be honest, it left him dumbfounded.
"This is an extremely foolish move on his part. Sending this girl here will only make me aware of what he's going to do to bring me back on his side. What the hell is he planning?"
For what seemed like the first time, Kiyotaka felt lost and he didn't know what to do.
Even though that man was barely present in his life, Kiyotaka knew that he would want nothing more than for him to return to the White Room. Heck, after Matsuo helped him escape, there were already search parties with the sole mission of bringing him back but they were unsuccessful, of course.
Even now, Kiyotaka was completely sure that his father was doing everything to bring him back on his side. How else would that man know that he went to school here?
And yet, all that his father sent to go after him in this school... was a girl. A girl who admires him, is a heroine chosen by the system, and is only given the task of 'watching over him'... instead of someone who was dedicated to the mission of bringing him back.
He may hate that man more than anyone else, but Kiyotaka knew that his father can't be this dumb... even though the thought of it was pretty funny.
His eyes widened slightly as he had a moment of realization. "Wait... is the system behind this situation? Did it cause things to turn out this way?"
Ichika only smiled at everyone as her eyes roamed around the room, as if she was looking for someone. It was only when her gaze landed upon a certain brown-haired teen that her smile became completely different.
Instead of smiling out of politeness, it turned into one that showed eagerness and excitement.
"Seeeeennpaaiiii~!"
