Room 28

This is the overall twenty-ninth chapter of You-Zitsu manga series.

Summary
Three days after the exam, the students were enjoying the luxuries on the cruise. Kiyotaka was chatting with Ike, Yamauchi and Sudō when he saw Sae Chabashira, who called him to speak in private. He goes with her, and comments that this "should be enough for now", referring to their victory in the previous special exam. Chabashira agrees, adding that that was excellent. Then, Kiyotaka asks if "that man" really contacted the school; To demonstrate this, she replies that she knows his true abilities, while the other teachers were not even suspicious of him. Finally, Chabashira quotes something "that man" said to her saying something along the lines that Kiyotaka will inevitably expel on his own.

He returns to his room and meets Hirata, who invites him to lunch with Karuizawa and her friends. Kiyotaka declines the offer because he doesn't get along very well with them. Changing the subject, Hirata asks him for a favor regarding Suzune: he wants him to help talk to her so that she can become closer to the class. Since this success in the special exam was thanks to her, many students in Class D began to respect her, and if she could better integrate with the class, they could go even further. Kiyotaka argues that getting close to Suzune is difficult due to her distant nature, so Hirata asks how did he got so close. He points out that they were not close at all and asks him to take things slowly. Soon after, Kiyotaka receives a message from Sakura, who wants to speak to him on deck. Kiyotaka apologizes to Hirata before leaving, and the two agree to talk about that matter later.

When he arrives at the deck, he greets Airi, who seemed nervous about something. Kiyotaka asks her if everything was okay, and she replies that it was because she didn't know how to get along with her roommates. She said that even though she wanted to make friends with them, she would also like to be alone. Although he understood what the problem was, he didn't know why she had called him specifically. Being even more nervous, Airi says that she thought he would have some advice and apologizes for being inconsiderate. Seeing them, Kushida approaches from back and calls out to them. Seeing her approaching them, Airi quickly leaves saying that she will go back to her room. Saying that she had come at a bad time, Kushida apologizes to Kiyotaka for interrupting their talk. She mentions that she's going out with some Class C girls later and asks if he'd also like to go. He was surprised that she made him an invitation like that, but ended up rejecting it. Suddenly, their cell phones rang at the same time, and they heard an announcement from the school saying that a message was sent to all the students with instructions about a new special test. The message on their phones indicated that they would have to go to an appointed room for the special exam.
