summary of the whole volume in detail (u don't even need to read the nolume after this)  (translated from another source)


 * Suzune felt pressured about her brother leaving school. she wondered whether to meet him or not. she thought it would be better if ahe didn't meet with her brother because she felt herself useless. In the end she realized that all her life, he had made the decision to get recognition from her brother. she decided to show her brother her "true self" before he left school.
 * Kiyotaka was interested in the graduation ceremony because he had never attended before. In addition, he also wanted to know about how the last exam of class 3 and whether Manabu passed as Class A.
 * Current class 1 points: Class A: 1131 points, Class B: 550 points, Class C: 347 points, Class D: 508 points. With this class C returns to class D on April 1.UkYukimura spoke to him, saying that almost no one in the class blamed him for the defeat. When Kiyotaka asked him about the 'almost' part, Yukimura said that there were some people who felt that if the Commander was a more prominent person, they could defeat Class A. But that was an absurd statement given the risk of being expelled.
 * After that, Yukimura apologized for his negotiations with Katsuragi. He asked why Kiyotaka hadn't told Suzune about it even though it might jeopardize the strategy and chances of Class C success. Kiyotaka only said that he had forgotten about it. Yukimura explained that he told Suzune about everything and Suzune forgave him but he told her to consult with him about everything in the future. IseKeisei considers Suzune to have grown rapidly as a leader over the past year.
 * After the graduation ceremony, all students except grade 3 left the gym. Chabashira-sensei praised his class for their development over the past year. she said that they were better than the previous year's Class D students but whether they could continue to rise or not depended on their efforts to progress. Kiyotaka asked Suzune if she would see her brother after the graduation ceremony. she replied that she did not want to do it. He tried to convince her by saying it would be her last chance. Kiyo invited him to see Manabu with him. she said that she would think about it. After that Kiyotaka assumed that there were still 90 minutes until the graduation ceremony was over. There was something he had to do in that time span.
 * Kiyotaka recalled what happened at 11 o'clock the night before. He called Director Sakayanagi. He was shocked and questioned where did Kiyotaka get his number, and he answered that Arisu gave it. This again shocked Director Sakayanagi because he did not give his telephone number to his daughter. Kiyotaka concluded that he must have gotten it from a teacher or something.
 * Kiyotaka questioned the truth about the suspension obtained by Director Sakayanagi but the question was ignored.
 * Kiyotaka told of the cheating committed by the caretaker director Tsukishiro in the last exam. This attracted the interest of Director Sakayanagi. He told Director Sakayanagi that he did not plan to attract attention and only spent 3 years of his school in normal circumstances. That was the first thing he wanted to do, so he would do everything to achieve that. Director Sakayanagi said he knew and that was why he brought Kiyotaka to this school. Kiyotaka said that as time went by, Tsukishiro would stop him and he could do something for him or other students later and Kiyotaka would not let adults interfere with student competition.
 * Kiyotaka wants help from school staff. Director Sakayanagi mentioned that Chabashira and Mashima might be able to help him. He would arrange a meeting for them during the graduation ceremony because Tsukishiro should be present at the ceremony, and the two teachers could go unnoticed. The reception room is not equipped with surveillance cameras so Kiyotaka can use it.Ektur Director Sakayanagi wondered about Kiyotaka's future plans after graduation. He answered, maybe he would return to the White Room and help them develop it as one of its leaders because his father would chase him no matter how far away. That's why Kiyotaka wants to protect 3 years here by all means. Director Sakayanagi hopes that Kiyotaka's school life here will be a good memory that he will never forget. Kiyotaka thanks him.


 * Kiyotaka headed to the reception room and knocked on the door. Chabashira was already there and asked why he had arranged this meeting with her and Mashima. He reacted to Kiyotaka's harsh way of speaking despite asking for help. she said that if Kiyotaka had the ability, his actions could be forgiven but because he lost to Arisu, he had no right to be rude to her. Kiyotaka turned to greet her in polite language. That surprised Chabashira. Kiyotaka said that starting next semester, he would really be aiming for Class A. Chabashira questioned the change in his attitude, because even though such a thing made sense, it was completely contrary to the Kiyotaka principle until now."Next, she asked if Kiyotaka had the ability to aim at Class A. He replied that after this meeting, Chabashira could see his abilities and told him to reach a decision at that time. Mashima knocked on the door and entered along with Arisu who was participating. Mashima asked if the two of them knew each other and Arisu answered that Kiyotaka was her childhood friend. Kiyotaka invited the two teachers to sit, but because Arisu was paralyzed, Mashima offered her a seat. Kiyotaka began to speak and said that the topic was about the caretaker director Tsukishiro. This surprised Chabashira and Mashima because it was not a topic students should discuss. Arisu is the only one who stays calm. Mashima asked him if he already knew about this, and he answered that he might know more than the teachers (as illustrated). Arisu wants to continue her story and Kiyotaka gives her permission. Arisu explained that she should have lost the chess match against Kiyotaka but Tsukishiro had changed the outcome. Chabashira interrupted that she had checked both the results and the process and there were no signs of interference. Arisu explained that all chess steps passed the school system first before sending it to participants. Arisu said that Kiyotaka's father suspended Director Sakayanagi and sent Tsukishiro in order to expel Kiyotaka from school. Mashima states that this does not make sense and there are many easier ways to do this. He questioned what kind of background Kiyotaka's father had if he had the power to do the things Arisu explained. Chabashira confirmed that Kiyotaka's father had previously come to this school to try to convince him to drop out of school but Director Sakayanagi respected his students' desire to remain in school. Mashima asked Kiyotaka, "Who are you really?" Kiyotaka had difficulty answering but Arisu jumped in and said that he was a very special student who was far more skilled than all boys his age. In the end, Mashima admitted that it was impossible for the two of them to distort such a complicated lie and that it might be true. But there is no evidence that what they said was true and therefore he could not cooperate with the plan to expel Tsukishiro. However, he will try his best to limit opportunities for schools to interfere in future examinations to ensure that such things do not happen again.
 * Chabashira understood that Arisu was sympathetic to Kiyotaka's situation, but that would be a problem if he treated her in a special way. Arisu laughed, she said that even in this school, there are many friends and lovers from different classes who are ready to stab their class to prioritize each other. Arisu stressed that everyone at least has the right to treat others specifically. According to Arisu a teacher had no reason to blame her even if she only helped Kiyotaka when his class slumped. Even though his classmates have the right to hate him when that happens. Arisu told Kiyotaka that she could count on him to fight Tsukishiro. Kiyotaka nodded and said that he would do that. When they were alone, Mashima asked for Chabashira's opinion and she answered that although Kiyotaka looked like a lazy and inconspicuous student, his eyes seemed to have seen everything.


 * After that, Kiyotaka met with Suzune. They see a group of grade 3 students huddling around Manabu and waiting for their chance. Nagumo appeared and congratulated Manabu for graduating as Class A. Nagumo revealed the fact that he and Manabu were in a different force so that the way he could interfere in the exam was very limited because he could not participate in it himself. Manabu offered a handshake and Nagumo took it, saying there was no reason to refuse. Both of them shake hands.AgNagumo said that in one year after Manabu left, he would change this school to "a school that truly evaluates abilities".
 * Nagumo who saw Suzune approached him and asked if she had heard the conversation or not. Nagumo said that Manabu was an extraordinary person and Suzune should be proud for being his sister. Nagumo said that because he was in a good mood, he would let him ask whatever he wanted. Suzune asked if she had regrets because her brother graduated as Class A. Asahina who was standing next to him, said that losing Nagumo was something that he denied. He said that he himself was still in Class A and whether Manabu fell into Class B or not, it had nothing to do with his personal ability level and would not interfere with his evaluation. However, there is no proper competition between classes 2 and 3. Nagumo said that he had no more enemies because Manabu had now graduated. There was only one more thing he had to do in this school. He said that in April, this school would become a true meritocracy.
 * Kiyotaka returned to the dormitory, he was greeted by Hirata, he vented about how Mii-chan confessed to him. Kiyotaka asked him what the answer was and Hirata said he wanted to reject it but didn't want to hurt her. Kiyotaka told him that the longer he delayed, the more he would hurt her when he finally told her. This gave Hirata determination and he thanked Kiyotaka. Hirata blushed when he asked Kiyotaka if they could call each other by first names (like the one in Hirata's illustration). Kiyotaka mentally felt something strange from all this but thought that he had no reason to refuse.

.*After that, Kiyotaka approached Ibuki in the elevator. They pondered how they were trapped the last time they were together in the elevator.
 * Kiyotaka meets Hiyori in a cafe (illustration). They see Ike and Shinohara next to them. Ike intended to confess, but he and Shinohara watched Kiyotaka at the last moment. They ask if Kiyotaka and Hiyori are dating where Hiyori denies in confusion. Ike and Shinohara started a fight as usual and their confession became chaotic.
 * Hiyori asked Kiyotaka whether he had caused Ryuuen to change. Kiyotaka asked for the reason, and Hiyori replied that Ryuuen changed shortly after he hunted down someone in the Kiyotaka class. In addition Ishizaki, Ibuki and Albert have looked at Kiyotaka differently ever since. Hiyori said that he felt that Ryuuen's tactics in the last special exam were too rash because the school might investigate him for cheating. Kiyotaka did not confirm or deny anything but told him to tell Ryuuen that if it were him, he could get 6 wins, not 5.
 * at that time, Kei came to see Hiyori and Kiyotaka on a date. she glared at the two of them as if they were rubbish


 * Ishizaki found them and asked if they were dating. Angry Ibuki rebuked him for the comment. Ishizaki told Kiyotaka that he had a big idea about how to get to Class A. He said that Kiyotaka had to go to their class, if Ryuuen and Kiyotaka were together, their class would be invincible. He said that he felt Kiyotaka had good compatibility with Ryuuen, he and Albert also liked it (Like here is not in the sense of romance more like respect). Ibuki called him an idiot and asked where Ishizaki planned to get 20 million points. Kiyotaka apologized and refused, saying that it would be more fun being an enemy than joining.


 * Kiyotaka received a text message around 8am from Ichinose asking if he and Suzune could meet her later during spring break.
 * They met at a cafe and Ichinose offered to treat them. Suzune did not hold back and immediately ordered something. Kiyotaka whispered to Ichinose and asked if the class finances were okay but Ichinose said that was okay because it would be until very soon until April, where students would get their personal points.
 * They shared information about the last special exam, specifically the details of what Ryuuen did to Class B.
 * In return, Suzune revealed everything about their fight with Class A.
 * Here, Kiyotaka talks all about Suzune who asked him to fight Kiyotaka with Class A (the truth is the person who wants to fight Class A is Kiyotaka himself not Suzune, he said it here so Ichinose does not suspect him if he suddenly discusses the topic of Kiyotaka's class who wants to fight Class A ). This was new information she had heard for Suzune who thought that her class was fighting with Class A because they had to. Suzune glared at him but said nothing. Kiyotaka thought that if it was the old Suzune, she would have immediately said something like "Huh? I never said anything like that!"
 * Towards the end of the conversation, Suzune said from class 2 onwards, she wanted to end the alliance with Class B. She said that the reason it could work was because of the difference in points between classes that were too large. But looking at the results, Class D gained the most class points this year, and hence their class will compete with each other in the ranking. Ichinose felt a little reluctant but he finally accepted it and she now looked at Suzune and Kiyotaka as enemies.
 * After that, Kiyotaka and Suzune left first while Ichinose stayed in the cafe longer. As Kiyotaka descended the stairs of the Keyaki Mall cafe, Suzune called out from behind. she demanded an explanation why he wanted to fight Class A. Kiyotaka replied that he had a hunch that Ryuuen would return and because they could not choose Class B as an opponent because of the alliance, so Class A was the best choice.
 * Suzune said that there was no way to know that Ryuuen would return even for Kiyotaka. she also suspects Kiyotaka about how he got protection points from Arisu. But he said it didn't matter anymore and she wanted to know whether Kiyotaka would really work together to achieve Class A or not. she said that for a while the class had improved greatly over the past year, she still needed his cooperation if they really wanted to go there. Suzune demanded that Kiyotaka remove the limitations he placed on himself and wanted him to show his true abilities. Kiyotaka said that he would try it from next semester but would attract a lot of attention to himself if all of his grades skyrocketed quickly. Suzune questioned whether his ability was really worth hiding, because Kiyotaka lost to Arisu. For a while he admitted that he was smart, there were many very good students in this school such as Yukimura, Arisu and himself. He said that while it would be surprising for him to suddenly become 10/20% of the best students in the class, it would not be too extraordinary for students to improve dramatically in such a short amount of time. Kiyotaka answered with "Sorry Horikita, but I don't think anyone in our class is at my level". Suzune replied that although Kiyotaka was recognized by her brother, he had not yet shown evidence that his abilities were what he said. He said that even though it was a high level chess match, he still lost to Arisu and lost still lost. To support the words Kiyotaka just said, he must be able to win against anyone in any case. Kiyotaka answered that he was free to feel the defeat however he liked.


 * Suzune demanded that Kiyotaka compete with her so that she could use herself as a yardstick to measure his abilities. Kiyotaka said that at the very least, he was sure that he would be able to score higher than Suzune on the written exam and defeat her in physical combat.
 * Kiyotaka then proposes a bet in the next written exam. Suzune is free to choose one subject she likes and will tell her what subjects to choose on the day of the exam, to prevent Kiyotaka from focusing on studying it. They will then compete for higher scores. In this way, even if he gets 100%, he can just think of it as learning for one subject. if Horikita wins, she demands that Kiyotaka stop hiding his abilities (because it means it is not worth hiding) and Kiyotaka must make 100% of his efforts to reach Class A. If Kiyotaka wins, she must grant one request.
 * A few hours before. Hashimoto met Ryuuen in the toilet and asked things like why he decided to compete again. Ryuuen said that only once and Hashimoto answered that it was a scary one. He called someone on his phone to "come to the location he said before" and then tried to provoke a reaction from Ryuuen by saying that he was calling Kiyotaka. But Ryuuen remained calm and accepted all his bait without revealing anything.
 * Kanzaki then came and warned Ryuuen that he would not let him do such dirty tricks to Class B again (as in the illustration). Ryuuen asked what would Kanzaki do? Even though Kanzaki understood that they would likely not take any action. But he said that if Ryuuen tried to do it again, he would personally face it. While Hashimoto only cornered them
 * After that, Kiyotaka met Ryuuen who called out to him. Ryuuen faced Kiyotaka, after receiving the message Hiyori delivered from Kiyotaka (the message alluded to Ryuuen who could only get 5 wins from class B). Ryuuen demanded that Kiyotaka explain what he meant. He said that Ryuuen's method was too risky and left too much evidence and that it could potentially be used against him. Ryuuen said 'you are not my teacher'. He tried to beat Kiyotaka with successive attacks but the effort was successfully avoided. Ryuuen called him "damn monster". Ryuuen also stated that since Kiyotaka defeated him, there was no way he could be under Sakayanagi. After that, personally, Ryuuen acknowledged his own shortcomings and decided to reject Kiyotaka's advice if he wanted to get closer to his level.
 * On the way back to the hostel, Kiyotaka saw Ichinose standing alone in the rain. He asks her what she is doing and warns her that she will catch a cold. Ichinose answered that at this time, she might be better off catching a cold. To her surprise, Kiyotaka folded his umbrella and stood next to her in the rain. He said that he would not leave until Ichinose left. Because Kiyo had no intention of returning if Ichinose was still there, so she decided to return and they thought an umbrella was not needed so they returned together without an umbrella.
 * Both of them went to Kiyotaka's dorm room where he handed over a towel to wipe it off and then asked her to explain the matter.
 * Ichinose revealed that the morals of Class B had fallen after their defeat from Class D and felt that while all the other leaders (Sakayanagi, Suzune and Ryuuen) had grown up a lot during the past year, she personally had not changed. she was worried about whether she was a good leader for her class or not. she asked Kiyotaka about how he looked at the future of her class. He could not answer her question about how Class B would look now, but if she visited his room one year from now on the same day he would definitely answer her.


 * Kiyotaka then helped spoil her because she was wet from the rain. Then he stroked her hair and cheeks and touched her lips with his thumb while doing it. Ichinose thanked him for always saving her in difficult times and he said that it was all just a coincidence. Kiyotaka thought that he would be the one to personally finish his class.
 * Ichinose wants to meet Kiyotaka like today in the next year, she wants to meet with him alone and this has nothing to do with class. So basically to make sure the two of them survived and kept their promise to meet a year later.
 * Suzune cut her hair short, finally realizing that her brother wanted her to stop following in his footsteps. The reason why Suzune's hair is long is because her brother once said that he likes her long hair.
 * Suzune greets her brother at the school gate together with Kiyotaka (illustration of Horikita and Manabu's short hair). His sister smiled at him for the first time in years. After that, he walks back with Kiyotaka but Kiyotaka tells him he doesn't need to hold back. Suzune overcame her emotions and cried, sad because she finally realized what her brother was trying to say, but now she didn't want to. He can see it again for two whole years (crying illustration of Horikita). During the talk, they talked about Manabu's role as student council president, what Nagumo would do from now on and how Kiyotaka wanted to see the change. Manabu then said that Kiyotaka would go far beyond him. ️ Kiyotaka asked why he thought so and he thought he was not as good as Manabu and he also asked why he rated it that high and Manabu said that it was part of intuition. Kiyotaka considered whether that could be said as a parting gift. Manabu gave him two telephone numbers, one for him and one for Tachibana and told Kiyotaka that he could ask at any time. Kiyotaka wanted to ask him what he would do after graduation. Manabu checks his watch and says that they can talk about it after Kiyotaka graduated. Manabu wants to ask Kiyotaka the last question before he leaves. He asked why he was hiding his true strength and Kiyotaka answered that he did not want to stand out and he wanted to live as a normal student and sometimes make efforts from time to time. But recently, he has attracted more attention and most likely he has to do more effort. Manabu said he had thought about what he himself did and what he could do all the time. He asked if Kiyotaka thought it was meaningful to spend his school life like that and Kiyotaka said that a relaxed school life wasn't wrong either. ️Manabu doesn't deny that, but he thinks Kiyotaka also came to this school because he wanted to leave something? He suggested that Kiyotaka would do something and try hard to do it, that's what Manabu thought. Kiyotaka tried to reject the idea, but he wasn't sure. Manabu suggests that if Kiyotaka cannot leave something at school, leave something inside the student. Students who have memories of Kiyotaka won't forget it. Kiyotaka thinks he never thought about carving himself into someone's heart. Manabu is grateful that Kiyotaka helped Suzune grow, but according to him Kiyotaka was not a man who would only be satisfied with it. Manabu realized that this time of year. He knew Kiyotaka was hiding enormous power. So he hoped for it.


 * According to Manabu that increasing himself under shackles for 2 or 3 years will make it an existence that people will remember. Kiyotaka asked what if he was expelled before 3 years. Manabu answers even if it will happen, people will remember it. If he can make it even if only one person thinks that they are happy to meet him, he will achieve it, Manabu believes. Kiyotaka felt Manabu's words seep into him.
 * Kiyotaka understood. He will try to think about it. He thinks there is a lot to be learned everywhere like when talking to Manabu. He also wants to leave at least something if he continues to live a relaxed school life. He thought he would be satisfied with that. He thought that might not be the answer. He thought there must be meaning why he came to this school. Manabu said he was sorry for his remarks at the end, but Kiyotaka said those were the best words said by the seniors to him.Ada In the end Manabu asked him to take care of Suzune for him and reached out and asked for a handshake. Kiyotaka felt the strength in the handshake. When Manabu said goodbye to Kiyotaka. He thinks he must spend at least 2 years for them to meet again, or maybe Kiyotaka will be expelled before that. And then, he will never see Manabu again.
 * After they left Kiyotaka then told Suzune, that if he won the competition between them, he wanted Suzune to join the Student Council. He also told her about his personal points contract with Kushida while hiding the real reason for it (he told her it was only for Kushida to stop targeting him for expulsion, he did not say that he did it to save Ichinose) Kiyotaka told Suzune that he initially thought that it would not be a big burden because the contract would be canceled if he got Kushida expelled. But since then he changed his mind and he did not want to expel Kushida, but he would expel her if Kushida harmed the class.
 * Matsushita Chiaki is a person who hides his abilities but he has the confidence to be part of the top 10% of his class if he is truly serious. In the beginning of the school year, Chiaki thought that it was impossible for his class to reach Class A. There were too many shortcomings. Although there are some intelligent individuals, about half the students in their class are 20% ordinary students. But he thinks that the situation will change if there are some smarter students in the class. Chiaki suspects Kiyotaka who is hiding his abilities like her. Leaders in classes like (Hirata and Suzune) are always seen around Kiyotaka. In addition, Chiaki noticed that Kei often looked at Kiyotaka. Previously she ignored this because Kei had a boyfriend but then she broke up with Hirata. Because Chiaki sees Kei as someone with high standards, this doesn't make sense unless Kei considers Kiyotaka to be above Hirata. In addition, in the mental arithmetic section of the last special exam, he completed the same answer to the last question which was very difficult as Kouenji did. That's not a question someone can answer by just being a little smart. she was also doubtful about the protection points Arisu gave from class A to him. On that day, Chiaki met with Satou and Shinohara at a cafe. They tease Shinohara about how her relationship with Ike. she denied it and said that if she was going out with someone, she would prefer someone taller and smarter. The topic turned to Satou, where she told them to promise to keep it a secret. she later revealed that at Christmas, she confessed to Kiyotaka and rejected it. Shinohara was angry about the reason Kiyotaka refused. Chiaki normally wouldn't care about topics like that, but because se 8 wanted to know more about Kiyotaka, she deliberately continued to press Satou to speak. Satou revealed that even now she still loves Kiyotaka and because of that, she pays attention to some things that nobody else has.Khusus Specifically, she felt like Kiyotaka liked Kei and thought that Kei might have abandoned Hirata to be with him.
 * Shinohara dismissed the statement and said there was no way a girl would throw Hirata for Kiyotaka, but Chiaki felt that her opinion was also compatible with the opinion of someone who had fallen in love with Kiyotaka.


 * Chiaki sees Kiyotaka walking outside and then asks for permission, telling them that she must take a call. Chiaki followed Kiyotaka but quickly hid when he saw the director while Tsukishiro approached Kiyotaka.
 * Tsukishiro gave Kiyotaka some information about the White Room. He told Kiyotaka that he actually did not care about children like Kiyotaka, but in his work, it was impossible to fight Kiyotaka's father. Tsukishiro told him that next year, a grade 1 student would come from the White Room. He told Kiyotaka that he was willing to play the game with the opportunity to fully favor Kiyotaka. If Kiyotaka can determine the identity of this student, Tsukishiro will be willing to withdraw from school. Kiyotaka asked if there was only 1 person and Tsukishiro answered "Do you really think I have the power to bring a group of people from the White Room?" Kiyotaka doubted Tsukishiro's words in his own mind. He said that there are 7 billion people on this planet so he has no doubt that there are people who are better than him. But he had absolute conviction that no one from the White Room could defeat him. (So there is a possibility that more than 1 student will be sent from the White Room)
 * Before separating, Tsukishiro warned that Chiaki followed Kiyotaka. Kiyotaka confirmed that he already knew that. Kiyotaka walked down a few more roads and then turned a corner. When Chiaki follows him, she finds Kiyotaka already waiting there for her. Chiaki was surprised that Kiyotaka knew and made her panic. He asked her what her business was and she said that she was surprised to see Tsukishiro talking to Kiyotaka.
 * Chiaki thinks even though she's bad at this, but she wonders, shouldn't others see that she's being followed? This made Chiaki more convinced that Kiyotaka was not an ordinary person, she became more aware of him. Since it's already like this Chiaki wants to be sure, she thinks as long as it's a mind game, she doesn't think she will lose.
 * Chiaki tried to direct him with a question to extract information to what extent Kiyotaka was paying attention. But instead Kiyotaka instead questioned her.
 * Chiaki asked why Tsukishiro talked to him? Kiyotaka answered that he planned to overhaul Keyaki Mall and happened to look at him for advice. Like what facilities students like, and such (Of course it's a lie). Chiaki believed because there were other adults there when they were talking so it was only a coincidence and thought his meeting with Tsukishiro had nothing to do with his true abilities.
 * Chiaki threw in another question, why did Kiyotaka hide his abilities in arithmetic mentality? According to him the problem that Kiyotaka answered was not a mathematical problem that could be solved by chance. Kiyotaka answered that he had learned arithmetic mentality since middle school so he was relatively good at it. But Chiaki is the same but according to him Kiyotaka level is at the national level. Then Kiyotaka explained that it was because arithmetic mentality was an event that he mastered. In fact, Kiyotaka also said that he had participated in national competitions. Chiaki didn't think that Kiyotaka would easily admit it so she thought it was natural that there were people who were only proficient in arithmetic mentality. But unless he's smart enough, he won't be able to solve problems like that. And there is also the fact that Kiyotaka did not reveal that he was an expert at it. Here Kiyotaka successfully brushed it off again, he said that he was the commander so he could not take the initiative and tell the class about it (Note: the commander in the previous special examination was not allowed to take part in the exam even though he was still able to intervene but in a minimum limit). Besides that even though Kiyotaka told the class, there was no guarantee they would believe it. Kiyotaka easily answers his questions as if it is the most natural thing to do. Kiyotaka also doesn't try to make excuses in a confusing way.


 * she again asked questions about his relationship with Kei? But he answered vaguely. And in the last question Chiaki asked Kiyotaka's opinion about his class, can it reach Class A? And Kiyotaka confirmed it.


 * Kiyotaka wondered that he had not changed much until that day. He thinks about how to plan his confession to maximize good answers because he doesn't know how people move from liking someone to confessing.
 * Everything he has done to this day is for this purpose. He was expecting a call from Kei. The telephone he was holding rang. Kiyotaka picked up the call after several rings. Kiyotaka tried to call her 30 minutes earlier, but Kei didn't pick up.
 * Kiyotaka asked her if he could meet her in person. Kei says it's okay but she won't be responsible if others see it. They arrange a meeting. Kiyotaka looked around his room and saw himself and her face in the mirror and looked away. Kei came to his room in a bad mood. He asked if there was anything, Kei said she had to hurry because she had plans with other girls and had only a little time. Kei said she wanted to say something to Kiyotaka that Satou had suspected their relationship. Kei explained that she had been asked by Satou, "whether he broke up with Hirata to date Kiyotaka." Kei has denied it, but she was not sure how much Satou believed her. Kiyotaka also said that he had been asked the same thing by Chiaki. Kei turned pale and thought Kiyotaka was joking. Kiyotaka explained that Chiaki had hidden her abilities and became suspicious of Kei and himself. After a while she wondered if Kiyotaka had a plan to deny it and Kiyotaka said he would just let it go but Kei assumed it wouldn't work and besides their relationship meant nothing. According to Kiyotaka even if Chiaki leaked the rumor, they should ignore it. But Kei wanted Kiyotaka to tell Chiaki that there was nothing between them and Kiyotaka answered that it would have the opposite effect. Kei said that she should have known that beforehand or wondered why he lied. He said that it would not change the situation because Chiaki was friends with Satou and could hear about Kei and Kiyotaka from her. Kei reluctantly agreed.
 * Kiyotaka thought that the more they denied it, the more confident they would be that he decided to play the first step. Kei was more worried about the rumor that she was throwing Hirata for Kiyotaka to spread throughout the school. Kiyotaka asked why Kei was bothered by that and she answered that it would have an impact on him, he stood up and he said that if there was someone of the opposite sex behind them, people tend to find it difficult to approach them.
 * Kiyotaka asked if she was blocking her new love. Kei answered Yes. Kiyotaka understood because after Sudou expressed his love for Suzune, it would be more difficult to approach him. Because Kei wasn't sure Kiyotaka understood, she alluded to Shiina and how Kiyotaka had a good relationship with her. Kiyotaka, wondering who Shiina is and she said her first name is Hiyori. Kiyo only calls Hiyori, Kei, Haruka, and Airi by their first names. He said they were good friends and they both liked to read books, and Kiyotaka asked if there was anything wrong with that? Kei is jealous because Kiyotaka has the same hobby as Hiyori. That's a very different reason compared to Kei's relationship with him. Kei wanted to say something but she was frustrated with herself for forgetting what to say next. Then, she folded her arms and looked the other way. Then Kei stated that if the rumors of Kiyotaka and himself spread, it would be more difficult for Kiyotaka to get closer to Hiyori. Kiyo agrees. Kei said she has no right to him who wants to get closer to anyone.* Kei paused and asked if she could talk about it later because she had to get ready, and maybe she shouldn't have come because there might be other boys coming and she didn't have time to think about it anymore.
 * Kiyotaka asked what her motivation was. Kei said she wanted to find a new boyfriend and asked if that was a problem for Kiyotaka, but he immediately answered no. So Kei intends to leave immediately.
 * Kiyotaka thinks he's teasing her way too much. Kiyotaka stood up and Kei thought she would lead her away and said that it was okay. Kiyotaka said that if he didn't like this rumor, he would just ignore it.
 * Kiyotaka asked her if Kei wanted to date him. Kei said she didn't understand what he was saying so Kiyotaka repeated his question. But Kei said she did not understand the meaning of his words. They looked into each others eyes. And they both seemed to communicate without saying a word.
 * Kei got confused and considered it to be a bad joke but Kiyotaka answered it wasn't a joke. Kei couldn't understand because he had just talked about himself getting closer to Hiyori and he said it was just a joke. Kiyotaka explained that it was only a small test for him to see if Kei would be jealous of her.
 * Kiyotaka deliberately calls Kei to the cafe to show her about Kiyotaka's closeness with Hiyori, even though it is actually not necessary, but that is his way of showing how Kiyotaka is not skilled in love.
 * kei said that if he joked, she would end their relationship now, and that was his last chance to retract the words if it was just a joke.
 * * Kiyotaka said that it was not a joke and wanted to hear the answer. Kei said she couldn't say such a thing now. He said that if he did not like the gossip, he would deny or ignore it.
 * Kiyotaka wondered why, he couldn't explain it well but he wanted to stop anyone from claiming Kei as their girlfriend. Kei asked if Kiyotaka really liked her with stuttering words. Kiyotaka felt his strong emotions behind those words, he felt his heart pound and say the next words with confidence. "That's right, I like Karuizawa Kei." The answer. Then Kiyotaka asked what the answer was. Her mind seemed to be in chaos before she gathered his courage and Kei finally looked directly at him and answered "I can date you, for your sake ... You know." (Here Kei hasn't fully acknowledged it, as if Kei accepted being his girlfriend for Kiyotaka's sake not because of feelings of love)
 * Kiyotaka wondered if that meant Kei liked him too. Kiyotaka wants to hear the answer and waits for Kei to say it. There is no third party who listens, there is no contract in this case, only the two of them, their own conversation and their own promises.
 * Kiyotaka asked again whether Kei could not answer. Kei said to give her time to calm down when she put her hands in front of him to stop him. Kiyotaka waited a few seconds for her to turn her gaze on him. Kei stuttered and struggled to say it and he thought it was so strange that she waited longer. Kiyotaka saw that Kei mustered all her courage and told herself not to look away. Kei answered that she also liked it even though it was annoying but Kei admitted it. Kiyotaka wondered why Kei looked angry in the end. Kiyotaka spread his arms on both sides so that Kei panicked, thinking she would kiss him. Kiyotaka thought Kei wouldn't like it, but she wouldn't do it now. He said that he would not do it. Kei repeated his stuttering words. Kiyotaka actually said that he might do it in the future and Kei, who realized it was frozen. Kiyotaka gently embraced her. Proof of their growing relationship.


 * According to Kiyotaka Humans are learning creatures. Whether it's riding a bicycle, swimming, using chopsticks, using a straw, and he learns to love him. Something he had never learned in the White Room. And one more important meaning why it is Kei. ️That romance is necessary for his own growth. he felt his relationship with Kei was needed in the previous year. she could not continue to live as a parasite living on her host. she needs to take this step to stop that feeling.
 * Kiyotaka wondered what face he was making now. Does he smile? Is she shy? Or confused or smiling? He does not know. He doesn't know the face he made. But, he knows deep inside himself. What face does he make, what does he think, what does he want to do. According to him, someone found pleasure in learning. Whether it's academic, sports, or games. They enjoy it as well as romance. He does not know romantic love, nor does he know family love. Not a shame, or pleasure. He was sure he would experience it in the future. But nothing has changed. It is only learning. Grow and move forward. It can be said that Kei is just the name of a study book about the opposite sex. After he finished reading it, her role was finished or maybe she would become an existence he could not leave? Kiyotaka himself does not understand. There is a part of him that hopes and another part of him that knows that it's impossible. Kiyotaka hopes that at this moment - that he is smiling while hugging the person she loves.
 * Kiyotaka promised to respect his girlfriend, as a young student, he prayed for himself. He secretly wished as he gently embraced Kei.
