Room 55

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

Summary
While Kiyotaka was standing alone in front of the pool, Kei Karuizawa approached him and expressed her exhaustion. He asks her how the plan went, and she responds that everything went exactly as he had said, adding that she couldn't believe that the three idiots would actually try to spy on the girls in the changing room. However, she said that she was more concerned that someone would notice them talking alone and spread weird rumors about them. He believes that it was not important since he doesn't stand out at all. Karuizawa then questions him as to what he plans to do next. She believes that if he had let this incident go, he could have enjoyed himself in the pool with the others. Kiyotaka emphasizes that he must prioritize ensuring that the class suffers no losses for the time being. He explains that if he allowed the three idiots to spy on the girls and they were discovered, it would cause mistrust in the class to increase. Then Karuizawa hands him something. She then wonders if he was working himself through all of this to get to Class A. In turn, he inquires if she wished for the class to be promoted to Class A, to which she admits that she wasn't sure, since she didn't want to fight against Class C.

Kiyotaka, believing that Kei would be unable to move on due to her fears, remarks that, while he has no idea what the next special exam will be, he intends to expel someone. Surprised by his sudden proclamation, Kei asked him to explain what and who was he referring to. Kiyotaka reiterates that he would try to expel someone, and believes that the girls in Class C who were aware of her past would be ideal. He then adds that if that doesn't work, he'll try to expel someone from another class, and if even that doesn't work, he'll expel someone useless from Class D. She argues that expelling a student might not be as simple as he believes. He assures her that he has a way, referring to the item Kei gave him earlier. Karuizawa realized why he went out of his way to get the item. Still, she wonders why he wanted to expel Sudō after all he did to save him during the midterms. Kiyotaka claims that he does not want to expel Sudō since he has good physical abilities and was valuable to the class. Understanding what he said, she inquires what will happen to the class points if someone from their class is expelled. He responds that since they didn't know that, he would prefer to expel someone from the other class.

Karuizawa recommends that he consult about it with Hirata. However, Kiyotaka remarks that Hirata was not someone he could trust. He then inquires as to whether she was aware of Hirata's past. She told Ayanokouji that Hirata had told her about it when she told Hirata about her own past. He then questions if she really believes that Hirata's friend's suicide was what led to him being placed in Class D, despite his capability. Changing the topic, Karuizawa remarked that Kiyotaka was not normal either. She believes that for him to be placed in Class D, he must be hiding something as well. Kiyotaka claims that there was nothing, but she refuses to believe him. Suddenly, he breaks the memory card, which was the thing handed to him by Kei, with his palm and tosses the broken remains into a trash can. He then declares that he will not expel anyone from Class D. As he breaks the memory card, he ponders about how he is a "blank" existence, devoid of everything, to the point that even talking about it is pointless.

Kiyotaka then approaches her and inquires whether she wishes to swim. He then suddenly pushes her into the pool without any warning. But as she falls, she grabs his arm and drags him into the water with her. Karuizawa laughs childishly as they both fall into the pool.
