Light Novel Volume 2/Summary

A long summary of the second volume of the You-Zitsu light novel series.

Prologue
Airi Sakura gives a monologue where she describes what type of person she is, stating that she is not good at interpersonal interaction. She states that because she is alone, she has created a facade in order to hide her true self. Finally, she mentions that she wants more than anything to find a person who can reach her.

Chapter 1
While looking for good places to take pictures, Airi Sakura came across a fight happening on campus, where Ken Sudō had one-sidedly beaten Daichi Ishizaki, Kyōgo Komiya, and Reo Kondō. Shocked at what she was seeing, she took a few pictures of the event while the two parties were taunting one another. Ken began to leave the situation and Airi ran off before she could be discovered.

The next day was the first day of the month, and Class 1-D was excited to receive points for passing the midterm exams a week earlier. Class 1-D's homeroom teacher, Sae Chabashira, arrives and is immediately bombarded with questions asking why the students have yet to get any points for this month despite having passed the midterms. Sae states that the points for this month are currently delayed while the school makes a decision on something, and that the students will need to wait until the situation is resolved.

After lunch begins, Kiyotaka Ayanokōji stays in the classroom and frets over his lack of friends that he feels he can regularly join with for lunch. Suzune Horikita chides him a bit for his poor social skills and the two talk for a bit while looking at the students who are also eating lunch alone. After school ends, Sae tells Ken to come to the staff room with her. He resists a bit, but after Sae gives out a few threats he concedes and follows her. Kiyotaka and Suzune leave for the dorms together, discussing the matter of the delayed points. Kiyotaka invites Suzune to join the group chat that he's involved in, but she refuses due to a lack of interest.

Suzune asserts that Kiyotaka has changed over the last two months, to which Kiyotaka attributes to making friends and getting used to school. He gives additional credit to Kikyō Kushida, which prompts Suzune to ask him about whether or not he's concerned about being around her given that she has expressed her hate for the two of them before. Kiyotaka asks Suzune what she did to receive scorn from Kikyō, to which she states that she doesn't know.

That evening, Ken barges into Kiyotaka's room after he had finished eating dinner. Kiyotaka is unsure about how he got in, and Ken reveals that everyone had a discussion and made duplicate keys for easy access. After Ken settles in, Kikyō also enters the room with her own key. They exchange greetings and Ken begins to explain that he might be suspended soon for allegedly beating up some C-Class students the day before. He elaborates that the students from class C were the ones who had attacked him and failed due to the difference in strength. After losing the fight they had gone to the school and filed a complaint stating that Ken had assaulted them. Ken had explained this when he was taken to the staff room, and was given a short amount of time prove his side of the story. In order to avoid suspension and the loss of class points, he came to Kiyotaka for help.

After considering the situation, Kiyotaka realizes that they need to acquire evidence in order for Ken to have any chance of avoiding suspension. Ken remembers that he felt as though someone was watching while the fight was happening, but he was unable to verify it after looking around. After begging for their help, Kikyō agrees to assist him and Ken heads back to his own room. Kikyō turns to Kiyotaka and seriously suggests to him to put more effort into blending in with the class. She then pressures him into agreeing to help with the situation and they decide to begin looking for the supposed witness of the event.
