The girl took off like a rocket towards the young man who was sitting at the back in peace. She was so fast that almost no one saw her move.
Only Kiyotaka could keep track of her and just from her eyes, he knew that she was heading towards him. However, he didn't do anything in response and simply stayed in his seat, as he was greeted by a flying Ichika who jumped towards him with open arms.
"This is gonna hurt," was his only thought before the collision.
Everyone's eyes widened and let out a gasp as the scarlet-haired girl jumped over the desk and tackled their classmate with all her weight, causing Kiyotaka to fall off his chair and hit the floor, with Ichika right on top of him.
"Ayanokouji-kun!" Kei and Kikyo both cried out at the same time, worried that he hit his head or something.
Fortunately for them, Kiyotaka wasn't really harmed, though the impact did hurt a bit since he hit his head.
"Ow."
After taking a moment to let the pain subside, he raised his head to look at the girl who tackled him to the ground like a professional football player. If it was any ordinary person, he would have stood his ground and remained unmoved, yet this girl managed to get him to fall over. Well, that's to be expected from someone who's also from the White Room.
"I'm so happy that I finally met you, senpai. I've been wanting to meet you for so long~" Ichika cooed, nuzzling into his chest like a cat that got separated from its owner.
As she said those words, three new notifications appeared above him which was a sight that he was completely used to by now.
[You gained 90 Affection Points with Amasawa Ichika!]
[Ichika Route has been Unlocked! You can now see 'Heroine Status' with Amasawa Ichika!]
[Your current status with Ichika has changed to 'A God and his Servant'!]
Kiyotaka raised an eyebrow at that last one, ignoring that he almost maxed out her current affection level in one sitting. "Does she really see me like that? I wonder what it means exactly..."
The first thing that came to his mind is that this girl looks up to him so much to the point that he's some kind of god in her eyes and she wants to serve him... or it could be about some kind of weird religion where he's a prophesied savior of some sort... or it could just be that this girl was submissive towards him.
"I suppose this is something to think about later," he shook his head to get rid of his current thoughts. There were far more pressing matters than thinking about what a certain 'relationship status' meant.
"That's gotta hurt..."
"Think he's okay?"
"I think so... I wonder why she did that to Ayanokouji-kun all of a sudden."
"You think she knows him?"
Meanwhile, everyone else winced from how their 'guest' suddenly tackled their classmate out of nowhere and for no reason. As soon as Kiyotaka recovered though, some of the boys quickly got jealous from the attention that he was receiving from the girl whom they just laid their eyes on.
"Oh, come on. He already has three of our girls after him, and now Amasawa too?!"
"I'm jealous. I want to get tackled like that by a beautiful girl too!"
"This is so unfair! How can that bastard have such a smokin' sexy kouhai all to himself?!"
"Who knows? It seems like Amasawa knows him, though."
"Because he's the protagonist, that's why."
Kiyotaka's heroines remained quiet, yet different thoughts were lingering in their mind regarding this 'guest' who showed up outside of their classroom out of nowhere, and was now lying on top of the young man as if it was her territory.
"This isn't the 'Nanase' that he was talking about... this is someone else who also knows him," Kikyo narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth in anger. The annoyances just keep on increasing, huh?
"This girl... Ayanokouji-kun knows her, I can tell. Why else would Amasawa-san tackle him to the floor? And why do I feel like keeping Ayanokouji-kun away from her?" Suzune thought to herself, subconsciously frowning at the scene that's happening before her while being unaware of the growing jealousy inside her.
Kei narrowed her eyes at Ichika. She already had to deal with Kikyo and Chiaki earlier, and now there's this girl. "This girl is trouble, I can tell."
Unlike the others, Airi had no malicious intentions in her thoughts. She was simply curious about this girl who seems to know Kiyotaka. "I wonder who she is..." she thought in confusion.
In Chiaki's case, she had a stoic look on her face, but she was already thinking of ways to show Amasawa Ichika that she has to get in line, because the younger girl was clearly in her spot.
Knowing that the longer they stay in their current position, the worse things will turn out for them.
"Would you mind getting off of me now? You're making things more complicated for us both," he told the girl who was seemingly enjoying the position that she was currently in.
Ichika only smirked. "But I love it when I'm close to you like this, senpai. Don't you like it too~?"
Not having time for the girl's teasing, he gently pushed Ichika off of him, allowing Kiyotaka to sit up properly. It also allowed him to see the frowns that were present on Suzune, Kikyo, and Kei's faces. They weren't just directed towards their 'guest', but towards him as well.
"Why are you all giving me those looks? I'm the victim here," he said to himself.
After returning his chair to its proper place, Kiyotaka was about to sit down and ignore the presence of the scarlet-haired girl who was standing next to his desk whilst giggling to herself, only for his attention to be drawn towards the chairman walking inside the room instead.
"Ayanokouji-kun," the man spoke, gaining his attention immediately. "I assume you would like to know the reason why this girl knows you?"
There's no doubt about it. Chairman Sakayanagi knows that Amasawa is a student of the White Room. No wonder he accompanied the girl to his classroom.
Kiyotaka already had a feeling that that would be the case, since Arisu did mention that she and her father visited the White Room in the past. Perhaps listening to the chairman would give him some more context on what's happening, because all that he was sure of at the moment is that the system is responsible for this and somehow caused Ichika to be here despite not being a student of the school.
With that, he responded to the chairman's question with a nod.
"Then please, if you would follow me to my office, I'll explain to you what you want to know." The man then turned to the homeroom teacher of Class D. "Is that fine with you, Chabashira-sensei?"
"Yes it is, sir." Chabashira nodded as well, while her mind went to different places with this new development. "Good. Take that little shit off my class for now so I don't have to see his face until homeroom ends."
"Thank you," Chairman Sakayanagi bowed in thanks to the woman, before turning his attention back to the young man. "Please follow me, Ayanokouji-kun. You too, Amasawa-san."
Before Kiyotaka could follow the chairman out of the classroom, he first turned towards the scarlet-haired girl who was just beside him.
"After you, senpai~" she smiled.
Sighing, Kiyotaka bowed his head and excused himself from the class, with Ichika following after him happily.
Everyone else watched him leave and had no idea about what to feel about it. A lot of them were confused and completely lost on what just happened that they wanted answers, while there were also those who were more curious about Amasawa and who she is exactly.
In Suzune, Kei, Kikyo, Chiaki, and Airi's case, all of them couldn't help but feel that Amasawa's presence will change a lot of things, especially since she seems to know about Kiyotaka.
Could it be that she's a friend of his outside of the school? A childhood friend of his? Someone who has a crush on him? A family member?
It was a question that they had no answer to... for now, at least.
