Yes.

The first title is exactly as you see.

Enjoy.

The start of Volume 4!

Third Person PoV

Hirata opened the room door to see Kiyopon laying on his bed, staring at the ceiling.

Kiyopon was randomly daydreaming about something.

" Ayanokoji-kun, do you have nothing in particular to do?" Hirata asked.

Kabedon!

Ignore the upper section .

That does NOT exist.

Anyway....

Kiyopon turns his head to look at him.

Hirata stared back with a confused look.

Kiyopon then turned his back to the ceiling.

" I'll assume that you don't have anything to do then...." Hirata said.

Hirata then received a text from Karuizawa.

' A hang out with her and the girls....again...?' Hirata mentally sighed.

He had a difficult time getting along with the guys of Class D for some reason that he can't seem to understand.

Then he suddenly had a bright idea.

" Ayanokoji-kun, would you like to join me for lunch with Karuizawa and her friends?" He asked.

Kiyopon extended his arm to the side and reached for his notebook and pen.

He began to write on it.

He then threw it to Hirata and Hirata caught it.

' It said.

' Ah....he seems to be a bit reluctant, huh....' Hirata thought.

Hirata gives an assuring smile to Kiyopon.

" I'm sure you can get along with them. In fact, I'm pretty sure that they like you. " He said.

Kiyopon puts his hand out, asking for his notebook back.

" Oh. Here." Hirata said before throwing it back to him and he caught it.

Kiyopon began writing again.

He then threw it back to Hirata and he caught it once again.

Hirata began reading.

it said.

Hirata then throws it back to Kiyopon.

" Just give it a shot! Besides, I'll be there to help you." Hirata said.

Kiyopon thought about it for awhile....

Kiyopon lets out a sigh and nods.

" Good! Let's get going then." Hirata said.

But Kiyopon did not move.

Noticing that Kiyopon wasn't geting up, Hirata looked at him with a confused look.

" Uhh....Ayanokoji-kun?" He called.

Kiyopon wrote in his notebook and then threw it to Hirata.

He caught it and read it.

It said.

Hirata chuckled.

Hirata and Kiyopon sat at a table, waiting for the girls to come over.

Hirata was.....nervous?

But he was calm.

Hirata thought that Kiyopon was a bit of a strange person.

He doesn't speak a lot and he does his own little shenanigans.

But at the same time, he personally held Kiyopon in high regards.

He initially wanted to team up with Horikita and unite the class.

But Kiyopon had already done it.

Hirata was relieved that Horikita has fully accepted herself as leader.

She was definitely capable.

But there was also something else clouding Hirata's mind.

He thought that maybe Kiyopon was also capable.

After all, he secured the win all by himself.

' But.....I don't feel like he would lead the class....' Hirata thought.

Hirata sighed and decided to put aside these thoughts.

" Thank you very much for your major help in the exam, Ayanokoji-kun." Hirata said.

Kiyopon nodded in response.

" Though....I want to ask. How did you become friends with Horikita-san? She was quite...distant with us after all." He said.

Kiyopon wrote on his notebook and gave it to Hirata.

it said.

Hirata's eyes widened in suprise.

" Is...Is that really it?" He asked.

Kiyopon nodded.

Hirata then had a funny thought.

' If Ayanokoji-kun were to propose to Horikita-san......would she say that quickly?' He curiously thought.

" Well, without your help....Horikita-san would probably be distant like before. So I thank you on behalf of the entire class." He said.

Kiyopon nodded.

" There you are, Hirata-kun!" A voice called.

Both the boys turned their heads to see the familiar blonde and her group.

There was Karuizawa, Shinohara, Mori , Sato, Matsushita.

The girls eyes widened in suprise as they see Kiyopon.

Kiyopon waved at them.

" O-Oh, I didn't expect to see Ayanokoji-kun here!" Sato said in suprise.

Kiyopon wrote on his notebook.

He then showed it to them.

It said.

" No! It's okay with us, right girls?" Karuizawa said.

The girls nodded repeatedly.

The girls then sat down.

Karuizawa sat beside Hirata

Shinohara and Matsushita sat across each other.

Sato sat beside Karuizawa.

Mori sat next to Kiyopon.

Kiyopon glanced at Mori.

Mori smiled at him.

" Hopefully you can keep up with the conversation~" she whispered to him.

Kiyopon wrote on his notebook and showed it to her.

It said.

Mori giggled and nodded.

The rest of the girls on the table were staring at both Mori and Kiyopon with interested looks.

Hirata was also quite interested himself.

" Huh? What are you all staring at?" Mori asked.

" Mori-san, you've been awfully close with Ayanokoji-kun hm?" Matsushita started.

" Are you two dating?" Sato asked with a grin.

" No way, isn't Ayanokoji-kun dating Horikita-san though?" Shinohara asked.

" It seems like it.....or is he two-timing them?" Karuizawa teased.

Mori blushed from all the questions.

Kiyopon wrote on his notebook and showed it to them.

it said

" Aww, bummer." Karuizawa said.

" Yeah, you could've been the second best couple of the year after Karuizawa-san and Hirata-kun." Shinohara said.

" Hey now, don't pressure them into dating. If they don't see each other romantically, then it's best to leave it at that." Hirata said.

Kiyopon noticed something peculiar as he glanced at Karuizawa right after Hirata said those words.

Karuizawa's eyes had a small bit of guilt in them which Kiyopon took note of in his brain storage.

" Ah your right, your right. " Sato said.

And the group soon ordered their drinks and food.

Kiyopon was tired.

He simply wanted to go back into his room now.

But then he noticed a trail of wet footsteps and watched as a bellhop was trying to catch up with a wet Koenji.

Koenji was almost nude but he wore a speedo.

It was a dumb thought but....

For a brief second, Kiyopon wondered how he himself would look while wearing only a speedo.

Just a fleeting thought, nothing more nothing less.

" S-Sir, please! The floor is getting wet. Just wear the towel!" The bellhop said in a panic.

Koenji stopped and turned to look at the young bellhop with a grin.

" Do you have a pen and paper?" Koenji asked.

The bellhop looked confused but he nodded.

" Give it here." Koenji said.

The bellhop took out a pen and paper and handed it to Koenji.

Koenji wrote on it and gave it to the bellhop.

" W-What? What am I supposed to with this???" He asked.

" As a token of appreciation, I handed you my signature. Though it is written on a cheap piece of paper, it's value will grow in a few years." Koenji said while smiling.

" Why?" The bellhop asked.

" Hahaha! Isn't it obvious? You're looking at the future CEO of Koenji conglomerate. I'll become quite known around the world and many people such as yourself would spend a fortune on a mere signature of me!" He said.

The bellhop looked at him with a look of disbelief.

" Sir...please.....JUST WEAR YOUR TOWEL! " The bellhop said.

Kiyopon decided to leave the scene.

He then received an email from a certain someone.

Kiyopon read the name.

Kiyopon typed his response and went to the place where she wanted to meet up with him.

Sakura was waiting at the deck of the ship.

Kiyopon arrived to the deck.

" A-Ayanokoji-kun....thank you for coming!" She said.

Kiyopon's eyes widened in suprise.

" Sakura...?" He said.

Sakura was currently not wearing her fake glasses.

Her hair was styled in the same way as her idol persona.

She looked like a much more confident person.

This truly suprised Kiyopon since he didn't expect this.

" Do....Do you like my look?" She asked with a nervous smile.

Kiyopon simply stared at her.

" Ayanokoji-kun...?" She called.

Kiyopon returned to reality and walked towards her.

He wrote on his notebook.

It said.

Sakura blushes because of the compliment.

" Well....you did say that I could make friends if I look confident.....and....you said you liked this look of mine..." she said.

Kiyopon wrote on his notebook.

It said.

Sakura shakes her head in response.

" I'm not. I wanted to do this....." she said. " I want to be able to get out of my shell.....because......I...." she trailed off.

Her face began to turn red.

Kiyopon checked her temperature by placing his palm on her forehead.

Sakura turned even more red as she felt his touch.

Kiyopon dropped his hand back down.

He concluded that Sakura wasn't sick, but she was still red for some reason.

" Are you okay, Sakura?" He asked softly.

Sakura nodded.

" I just want to say that I-" But she was interrupted by a loud notification from her phone.

Kiyopon's had also notified him at the same time.

They looked at each other confused before pulling out their phones and reading the message.

A special test will begin soon. Please gather in the designated room at the designated time. Anyone who arrives ten minutes later after start time may be penalized. Please gather in Room 204 on the second deck by 18:00 today.

" A special exam...?" Sakura said in shock.
