Kiyopon watched as Katsuragi entered the school building.

So that's why he wore a uniform....Kiyopon thought.

Well, that solved one mystery. But Kiyopon noticed he went in with the gift he held in his hand.

Could he be delivering that gift to someone in the school? Kiyopon wondered.

Kiyopon sighed quietly to himself and left his hiding spot to go back to the mall.

This was none of his business, so why bother?

Besides, he still had yet to decide on his present for Inogashira.

Kiyopon stood in front of the shelf with its selection of boxes chocolate. The same shelf where Katsuragi had been agonizing on before settling on his gift.

Kiyopon took a box and examined it.

Would she like chocolate? He wondered.

Would a box of chocolates be okay for her?

Kiyopon inwardly sighed.

This was getting harder and harder....

Maybe he should've just went along with Mori's suggestions, even if he himself didn't feel right about it.

Kiyopon sighed and decided to place the box back on the shelf. There's still time to search for a proper gift.

But when Kiyopon tried to exit the aisle, a loud female voice suddenly yelled.

" W-Watch out!" She warned frantically.

Kiyopon looks towards the voice and his eyes spotted a woman with chestnut brown hair, and some sort of flower hairpin on the right side of her head. She was running at an urgent pace while holding a bunch of bags.

Bam! Her body suddenly collided with Kiyopon's

" Oof!" She lets out a sound as she began stumbling back.

Swip! She suddenly began slipping back due to a wet floor.

" W-Woah!" She said in suprise as she began falling.

But Kiyopon quickly placed an arm behind her and successfully caught her before she could fall on her butt.

" Eep!" She squeaked in suprise as Kiyopon slowly helped her regain her balance.

" Thank you....phew..." she sighed in relief.

Kiyopon silently nods.

Kiyopon observed her appearance a bit further. She is pretty, that's for sure. She wore green off-shoulders with skinny ripped jeans.

The girl looks at Kiyopon and smiles awkwardly, " Thanks for saving me....that would've been an embarassing moment....." she said.

Kiyopon nods.

Suddenly, as if a switched flipped inside her head.

The girl began to narrow her eyes as she took a step closer to Kiyopon and closed in on his face.

Kiyopon was a bit taken aback, so he tried to step back but the girl simply took another step forward in response.

Eventually, Kiyopon's back bumped into the shelf behind him and a few items began falling off the top of the shelf.

Kiyopon's eyes widened and he immediately reacted to the situation by catching them as quickly as he can before they hit the ground.

He held all the items in his hand. Kiyopon sighed in relief.

But.....unfortunately....

" Wow.....nice reflexes..." The girl blurted out.

Kiyopon paused.

She saw everything.

S h e s a w e v e r y t h i n g . . . .

Kiyopon silently placed the items back on the shelf before slowly turning towards the brown haired girl.

🙁

" You're......the one who communicates via notebook, right?" The girl finally asked.

Kiyopon nodded and began writing in his notebook.

it said.

The girl began giggling before speaking, " Are you seriously unaware of what's going on around you?" She said in an amused tone.

Kiyopon shrugs.

" Well, first of all. There was that viral cute picture of you and...Shiina Hiyori from Class C, if I'm not mistaken." She said and pulled out her phone to show the photo.

Kiyopon stared at the photo in suprise.

Is this why....Ryuuen was thanking him when they encountered eachother on the island exam?

" Not only that, but you're currently ranked high on a list made by the girls in our school." She said before accessing another app on her phone and proceeded to show Kiyopon the rankings.

Kiyopon stared at his own name in silence.

" Seriously? No reaction? No ego boost or anything like that?" The girl said.

Kiyopon glanced at the girl once more before writing in his notebook.

it said.

She looked at him in suprise,

" You're.....suprisingly modest, huh..." she said.

Kiyopon shrugs in response.

The girl grins and held her hand out,

" Can I borrow your phone?" She asked.

Kiyopon raised a brow but took out his phone anyway and handed it to her.

Since he had already unlocked it for her, she had no problem and proceeded to type fast before handing the phone back to Kiyopon.

Kiyopon took it and checked what she did with his phone.

His eyes widened in suprise.

" I hope you don't mind~ oh, and my name is Asahina Nazuna." She said before picking up her bags and walking past Kiyopon to exit the store.

Kiyopon stared at her back until she took a turn and disappeared from his view.

Asahina Nazuna....Kiyopon repeated her name and looked at the contact she made for herself in his phone once more.

Much to his suprise, she was a senpai.

A senpai that proudly nicknamed herself as Kiyopon's " favorite senpai" in his contact list, even though they just met today.

But the question that really mattered to him was.....

Was she a friend?

Kiyopon wasn't sure yet. But maybe this was her personal way of saying that they were friends now?

If that was the case....then....

Kiyopon began writing her name in his notebook.

Kiyopon closed his notebook with a satisfied hum.

But when Kiyopon turned around, another suprising figure stopped in his path.

It was Katsuragi.

" It's a suprise to see you here..." he said.

Kiyopon nods slowly.

Kiyopon notices that Katsuragi was still holding the gift bag. Kiyopon guessed that Katsuragi had likely not handed his present to whoever it was for.

Kiyopon begins to write in his notebook......

It said.

" Hm? Do you have a girlfriend, Ayanokoji?" Katsuragi asked.

Kiyopon immediately denies that assumption and immediately writes in his notebook....

It said.

Katsuragi let out a small 'ah' and nodded in understanding.

Kiyopon begins writing in his notebook....

It said.

It wasn't the question Kiyopon had actually wanted to ask. But if Kiyopon seemed too aware of Katsuragi's motives, then Katsuragi will be definitely on-guard around Kiyopon.

And that's something our silent protagonist would like to prevent.

Katsuragi's eyes widened a bit in suprise due to Kiyopon's observation.

" You noticed, huh. But to answer your question, Yes. I've various private matters that requires me to enter the school." Katsuragi calmly answered.

Kiyopon points at the bag that Katsuragi was holding.

Katsuragi raised a brow.

" What...?" He asked.

Kiyopon repeatedly points at Katsuragi's back and tilted his head slightly to express his curiosity.

" Ah, I see. Well, it's a birthday gift for someone important to me. A box of chocolates is what I planned to give them." Katsuragi said.

Kiyopon nods in understanding.

Kiyopon writes in his notebook.

it said.

But before Kiyopon could walk past Katsuragi.

Katsuragi suddenly spoke, " How about we walk for a while? I'm curious about something."

Kiyopon's eyes gazed at Katsuragi's expression.

" Of course, it wouldn't be related to class matters or private life. I just want your opinion on something." Katsuragi clarified.

Kiyopon thought about it before eventually nodding to his request.

Johnny Sins and the yet to be discovered king of the dinosaurs, walked side by side in a decent pace.

And yes, PoV-chan confirmed that Kiyopon does indeed possess the T-Rex.

But that leaves one question.

Does Hornykoji or as some of you may have nicknamed it, " Hornypon", exist in this fic?

Who knows!

Anyway, back to the matter at hand...

" Have you ever thought about the disadvantages of attending this school?" Katsuragi finally spoke.

Kiyopon wondered if this was the question Katsuragi wanted his answer or opinion on.

Taking Kiyopon's silence as a sign to elaborate the question further. Katsuragi continued.

" I don't particulary mean the division of students in classes. I mean something that affects all of us equally." Katsuragi said.

Something that affects all of us equally....Kiyopon had a guess but decided to stay silent about it.

" You know, the stipulation that you can't contact anyone from the outside." Katsuragi finally said.

Kiyopon gives noises of agreement.

Though, Kiyopon had personally considered that an advantage. No contact from the outside was what led him here in the first place.

Or....to be more precise....

That particular rule is what got him sent here in the first place..

" What do you think of it, Ayanokoji?" Katsuragi said before stopping and staring at Kiyopon in the eye.

Kiyopon writes in his notebook.

It said.

" You're not too bothered by it?" Katsuragi repeated in question.

Kiyopon nodded.

" Don't you want to contact your parents or siblings?" Katsuragi asked.

Kiyopon didn't respond to that but instead stared at Katsuragi silently.

Katuragi averted his gaze soon after.

" I apologize. I was prying too much, wasn't I? " he said.

Indeed he was.

But....it would be a lie to say that Kiyopon didn't have a person from the outside that he'd like to message.

His loyal maid,

Lmao. Just fucking with ya'll.

His loyal caretaker. A butler named Matsou.

Kiyopon would've liked to message him and tell him about everything that's happened.

Well, he can't dwell on that forever.

Kiyopon began writing in his notebook.

It said.

Katsuragi nodded. " True. Both the point system, and the quality of the facilities here, are things that ordinary students can only dream of." He said.

This entire school felt like a little city. It provided everything that students from other schools would be crying for.

But Kiyopon noticed that Katsuragi is still dissatisfied with the rule in which outside contact is prohibited .

That's when it hit Kiyopon's head.

Kiyopon began writing in his notebook.

It said.

Katsuragi froze.

They both stopped walking.

Kiyopon stared at Katsuragi's expression.

" Let's seperate here. Thank you for accompanying me, Ayanokoji." Katsuragi said, curtly, before walking away.

Kiyopon stared at Katsuragi's retreating back and sighed to himself.

Now Katsuragi will be a bit more guarded around Kiyopon....

Well, it wasn't all too bad. Kiyopon managed to identify the reason why Katsuragi was wearing his uniform and the reason why he was still holding onto that gift.

Student requests go through the student council, if Kiyopon wasn't mistaken.

But...

Didn't Tachibana-senpai mention something about renovations? Kiyopon wondered back to his last conversation with Manabu and Tachibana.

Well, besides that, there was only one question remaining but it seems unnecessary to ask.

Who exactly is the person he's gifting it to?

Kiyopon noticed the group of Kushida, Ike and Yamauchi, standing around the outside of the dormitory.

What are they doing? Kiyopon wondered to himself until he overheard their conversation.

" Kikyo-chan will help with buying a present for Katsuragi as well?" Ike asked.

" Of course! Katsuragi-kun has done quite a bit for me, too. " Kushida nodded with a smile.

Yamauchi and Ike both seemed happier with Kushida around. Kiyopon wondered what would happen if....her other side was shown to the entire class.

Horikita still held the video of Kushida's other side as proof for everyone to see if Kushida violates the deal and tries to sabotage their class.

Kiyopon hoped that Kushida won't do anything stupid.

If they were to expell Kushida, then they'd lose class points as well.

Kiyopon wondered if there's a situation...that......

Kiyopon sighs, brushing away his thoughts as he turned his gaze to a suprising figure who was currently sitting on a bench.

Kiyopon walks towards her and sits beside her.

" Ayanokoji-kun?" Horikita glanced at Kiyopon.

Kiyopon nods.

" Good morning. I didn't expect to see you here." She says in a softer tone than usual.

Kiyopon raised a brow.

He observed her expression and noticed that her usual stern look had transformed into a look of calm excitement.

Kiyopon writes in his notebook and shows it to her.

It said.

.

" I do? I didn't think you'd notice...." Horikita muttered as she sighed.

Kiyopon writes in his notebook.

It said.

Horikita chuckles, " I suppose so...."

It was silent for a while.

Until she spoke again, " I have a scheduled appointment with the student council president...." she said.

Kiyopon's eyes widened in suprise.

Horikita continued, " I was shocked since I was sure that I hadn't caused any trouble nor did I really did anything that could garner their attention. But......lool at this." Horikita says before taking out her phone and showing the email.

Kiyopon read it carefully.

An email from her brother....Kiyopon observed.

He begins to write in his notebook.

It said.

Horikita sighed and shrugged.

" I don't know.....that's probably why I'm also afraid. But this could be my chance...." she trailed off.

Kiyopon pats her head which caught her by suprise.
