Room 10

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

Summary
A flashback to the morning homeroom, where Sae Chabashira is informing the class about a brawl that took place with Class C. She asked the students if any witnesses of the incident would like to come forward as depending on the situation there might be class points deduction.

In Ayanokōji's room, Sudō explained that he was the one blamed for the brawl with Class C. He said that Class C was the one who initiated the fight with him. He said that the guys from the Class C were jealous of him because he was chosen as a regular player and were harassing him. Kushida asked that he was not at fault for a problem caused by Class C but Sudō refuted her saying he didn't have any evidence for his claims and he might be suspended if he can't provide one and there might be the deduction of class points.

Hearing him, Suzune Horikita said that if they were looking for an Eye-Witness, there was one. She said that the witness was Airi Sakura and said she was sure of it because Airi was the only one who averted her eyes when Sae told the class about the incident. Sudō asked if Suzune helped them for his sake but she refused, saying she was only helping because she didn't want any disgraceful behavior of Class D to be known by other classes. She, leaving Ayanokōji's room, asked Sudō to change his behavior and attitude. When Ike patted Horikita and asked if she was being a tsundere, She gave him a shoulder throw and warned not to touch her casually. Seeing Suzune give Ike a shoulder throw, Ayanokōji wondered if she also practiced martial arts like her brother.

Kushida, from her room, called Ayanokōji on his phone late at night and said she just talked with Ike about the idol Shizuku and would send him the link to her blog. Ayanokōji said that he knew that Sakura's lenses were plain glass as there was no distortion when looking from them, concluding that Shizuku was Sakura without her glasses. He then asked if her room was on the ninth floor to which Kushida replied in affirmative and asked why he asked that. Answering her that it was just something on his mind, Ayanokōji thought that maybe it was a bad idea to ask Kushida about it and wondered if she might break the conversation with him if he continued. Kushida then began asking him that if she... before cutting off speaking and hung up the phone saying it was nothing.

After hanging the phone, Ayanokōji checked the link, sent by Kushida, on his computer in his room. He saw images which were uploaded on Shizuku's blog and noted that the blog, having started around two years ago, was updated daily. Ayanokōji scrolling the comments on the images felt a sense of unease. He noticed that there were many comments about wanting to meet her and one that was even about meeting at the repair shop they had gone to. Ayanokōji banging on the desk, he felt worried for Sakura and wondered what would have happened if Sakura had written her name on the form. But he felt that he had no means to do anything to help as she hadn't asked for it.

Next day, Ayanokōji was together with Ike, Yamauchi and Sudō were talking about Airi and Kushida. Ike wondered if he should confess to Kushida while fantasizing about Kushida being her girlfriend. When asked if Kushida already had a boyfriend, Ike said that she didn't have any boyfriend as she doesn't go out with much. When asked how he knew about that, Ike answered that in the phones provided by the school, mutual friends can get the other person's whereabouts. He then continued saying that he was using it to create the coincidences to meet with Kushida. Feeling that the talk was useless, Ayanokōji wondered if he should go to the place where the incident took place.

Ayanokōji then went to the Special annex with Horikita looking for clues. Horkita asked if he was adamant about helping Sudō. Ayanokōji answered her that it was because Sudō was the first friend he made after enrolling. Ayanokōji drew Horikita's attention to the fact that there were no cameras there and said if there was one, the case would be as good as solved. He then said that there won't be a scenario where Class C students admitted they lied and withdrew the case. He then asked Horikita if she was alright in that heat when Airi bumped into them. Airi then one-sidedly explained that photography was her hobby. Seeing this as a chance, Horikita tried asking Sakura questions but Airi immediately left without answering any of them. Ayanokōji called out to Sakura nad said that even if she was a witness she didn't have to force herself to which Sakura said that they had a wrong person and left them.

Horikita said that this could have an opportunity to talk with Airi but Ayanokōji disagreed and said that forcing her wasn't the way to go about in that matter. And continued saying that even if Sakura were to give her testimony, Class D's witness was far too weak to be considered in that matter. While they were talking suddenly, a girl called out to them asking if they were on a date. The girl, Class B's Honami Ichinose, asked if they were also looking for clues for the brawl that took place there. Honami then asked if they would be willing to tell her what happened. Hearing her, Horikita replied that she had no intention of telling her anything as she was an unconcerned party. Ayanokōji feeling that Honami would find it from somewhere else, either way, decided to tell her about it.

Hearing the matter, Honami asked what would they do if Sudō was the actual guilty one. Suzune said that she would honestly report it so there can be no future repercussions. Hearing her answer, Honami asked if she can collaborate with them to find the witness as it would be a problem if lying side wins. Honami then said if Class D had Class B as their witness, their credibility with the school would also increase.

Horikita wondered for some time but later agreed to take her help and introduce herself to Ichinose. Ayanokōji thought it was good that Horikita took the decision quickly as he was someone who had no right to decide and felt it was Horikita's job to decide for the class.
