Well, well. We finally made it to the last event in this volume, huh?

This chapter...will be quite long. But you've read longer and I've also written longer ones, so this shouldn't be a problem.

Anyway, introductions aside.....let's begin.

Kiyopon finally arrived to the lobby, where he met up with Horikita,Sudo, and Ike.

" Good morning, Ayanokoji-kun. You took a while." Horikita greeted Kiyopon.

Kiyopon responds with his notebook....

It said.

" Tell me, are they planning something?" Horikita gestured to the two boys, Yamauchi and Ike.

Kiyopon shakes his head and writes in his notebook....

' Just planning to have fun.' It said.

Horikita raised a brow at that.

" Is that so...." she didn't really believe his words this time. Something about today felt suspicious to her but she couldn't exactly determine what exactly is causing that feeling of dread.

" Man....where is Sudo...." Ike whispered to Yamauchi.

" I don't know dude! Maybe he's sleeping?" Yamauchi whispered back.

" Shit. We can't do this without him!" Ike panicked.

" Can't do what without who?" Horikita interrupted.

" AH! Nothing! It's just something we have to do later after the pool!" Ike immediately made up an excuse on the spot.

Horikita crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes at the two boys.

Kiyopon silently sighed to himself, he wished that they never had a dirty plan in the first place and just enjoy the pool with no stress.

Before Horikita could interrogate them further, a familiar voice entered their little group.

" Yahallo~" Mori greeted with a wink while carrying a plastic bag with her towel on display.

" M-Mori-san?!" Ike and Yamauchi were suprised to see another beauty pop out of nowhere.

" Is it right for me to assume that all of you are going to the pool?" Mori asked.

Kiyopon nodded and Mori smiled.

" Do you mind if I join you guys? " she asked.

" No! Not at all! The more the merrier, right?!" Yamauchi said and Ike nodded in approval.

" Great!" She replied before turning towards Horikita with a teasing grin.

" Ara~? I didn't expect for Horikita-san to join in~" she said as she stepped close to Horikita.

" Ayanokoji-kun invited me. He wouldn't leave me alone until I said yes." Horikita quickly replied.

Kiyopon looked at Horikita with a confused look before writing in his notebook.

It said.

" He says otherwise." Mori gave Horikita a smug grin.

" ...." Horikita averted her eyes, not bothering to reply as to not dig herself a deeper grave.

" Horikita-san is so tsuntsun!" Mori teased her.

Horikita ignored her teasing but little did she know, it only increased Mori's desire to tease her.

" Hmmm....what made you accept his invitation so quickly, hm?" She started.

Horikita gave her a look that basically had ' Are you serious' written all over it.

" He's my friend. Isn't it natural for me to accept an invitation from a friend?" Horikita asked.

" But am I not your friend too? You didn't accept my invitation to hangout with the girls!" Mori shot back.

Horikita huffs, " I apologize for not accepting your invitation. But I have no interest in hanging out with the other girls." She said.

" But Ayanokoji-kun managed to invite you and you seemed to have accepted with no complaint according to him. " Mori stated.

Horikita raises a brow, " So? I like hanging out with Ayanokoji-kun, no matter what he drags me into." she gave a suprising reply.

Mori was a bit suprised by such a blunt response, but she wasn't going to let her win this battle.

" I see....." she nods before she started giving Horikita a suggestive smile.

" Or....perhaps Horikita-san has another goal." She teased.

Horikita tilted her head curiously,

" What do you mean by that?" She inquired.

Mori smirks before whispering to Horikita's ear.

" You want to see Ayanokoji-kun in swimwear."

Horikita's eyes widened in shock at her words. She pushed Mori away ( gently ) and glared at her with a seemingly red tint on her cheeks.

" NO!" She immediately denied her assumptions.

Mori laughed , " Are you sure?"

Horikita groaned and covered her face to hide her embarassment while Mori just giggled at her personal victory.

Kiyopon was curious about what Mori whispered to Horikita but then immediately switched his attention towards the elevator since it had opened.

" Good morning." Sakura greeted, politely.

" G-Good morning!" Yamauchi stuttered in suprise even though he already knew she was joining in.

Things seemed awkward between them since the confession event, but it wasn't too suffocating.

" Glad you joined us, Sakura-chan!" Ike said.

" Ah, yes!" She said before turning towards Kiyopon. " Thanks for the invite, Ayanokoji-kun." She smiled.

Kiyopon nodded and gave a thumbs up.

" Oh! So you're joining too, Sakura-san?" Mori asked to which Sakura nodded in response.

" You too, Mori-san?" Sakura asked.

" Yep....except...." Mori gave Kiyopon a strange smile, " This guy over here....didn't seem to have sent me an invitation." She said in a totally chill voice.

Kiyopon tensed and immediately began writing his notebook.

Even though he'd rushed in writing it, his handwriting was exquisite.

Mori wagged a finger towards Kiyopon in a disapproving manner. " You should always ask me! You never know unless you try, so don't hesitate to ask me."

And then she pressed a finger to her cheek and winked cutely, " And if you're asking me on a date, then trust me when I say that I would 100% give a yes." She said.

Kiyopon writes in his notebook....

It said.

Of course, this didn't really come to a suprise to Kiyopon. After all, she did try to help him out to pick a present for Inogashira ( despite failing ), so he still owed her that date....

However, Sakura and Horikita, were not aware of the entire context behind the scenes.

And Mori absolutely took advantage of that fact to tease them both.

" Huh?!" Sakura and Horikita looked at Mori in shock, while the sly girl simply winked at them both.

Sakura glanced at Horikita and also noticed that she seemed pretty suprised.

' Could it be that....Horikita-san....likes him?' Sakura thought to herself.

' Mori-san....also seems to like Ayanokoji-kun......they both...' her thoughts trailed off when Ike suddenly announced something.

" All right, I'll just go check on Sudo since he's not answering my calls! Stay right here, guys!" Ike said before entering the elevator.

" Drag his ass here if you have to!" Yamauchi yelled.

" Huh?! No way! He'd kill me and he's too heavy anyways!" Ike managed to retort before the elevator closed.

" Oh, what's this? Goodmorning everyone!" Ichinose greeted as she stepped out of the elevator with her friends, carrying their plastic bags with their swimwear.

' Oh shit! It's Ichinose!' Yamauchi's horny mind immediately thought about her breasts .

" Are you guys heading to the pool?" Ichinose asked the group.

Kiyopon nods.

" Well, why don't we go together?" Ichinose asked.

" Of course! The more the merrier!" Yamauchi agreed instantly.

The girls behind Kiyopon didn't mind either.....actually that's cap.

They accepted Ichinose's company with open arms but this was the perfect opportunity to discern whether or not the beautiful maiden named ' Ichinose Honami' holds any affections for our silent protagonist.

" Glad to have you with us, Ichinose-san." Mori greeted.

" Glad to be here! I hope you don't mind if my friends come along." She sheepishly replied.

" Of course not. It's only natural for them to join you wherever you go." Horikita stated.

" It's nice to see you again, Sakura-san." Ichinose gave a gentle smile to Sakura.

" Same here, Ichinose-san. Thank you again for helping me." Sakura said.

" Haha! No problem! " Ichinose chuckled before properly observing the group.

" Hey, don't you think it's strange?" Ichinose suddenly said which confused the trio.

" What's strange?" Horikita questioned.

Meanwhile, Kiyopon was being bombarded by the girls who accompanied Ichinose.

" Nice to see you again, Ayanokoji-kun!" A girl named Ando said with a cheerful smile.

" You didn't forget about us, did you?" A girl named Ninomiya Yui said.

" Of course he wouldn't! Well, at the very least, he can remember me!" Amikura said proudly.

Kiyopon nodded and wrote in his notebook.

It said.

The three girls smiled and nodded.

" Glad you remembered!" Amikura said.

Kiyopon writes in his notebook.

It said.

" Awww~ still cute as ever!" Amikura immediately playfully squeezed Kiyopon's cheeks, much to his dismay as he immediately tried to tap out.

He was still having PTSD from the amount of times Horikita destroyed his cheeks.

Hey, readers. We're all thinking about FACE cheeks, right?

Nothing else?

R i g h t?

I'll just assume that we are indeed all on the same page. :)

Anyway, back to the other girls conversation.

" What's strange?" Horikita previously asked.

" Most of our company here are girls." Ichinose said.

"......" They stayed silent as they glanced towards the Class B girls who swarmed Kiyopon, the same way Hirata would get swarmed by his bimbo hare- sorry, group of girls.

" Now that you mention it....you're right...." Sakura slowly said.

Mori sighed , " Who knew Ayanokoji-kun was such a playboy...." she said, teasingly.

' And he's incredibly dense to the other boys' envious stares when girls surround him....' Mori thought.

Ichinose giggled, " No doubt that Ayanokoji-kun is easy to be friends with. I wonder how many names he'd already written in that notebook of his." She mused.

' He's unpredictable in every aspect....' Horikita thought.

The elevators suddenly opened. Ike and a sleepy Sudo stepped out of the elevator.

" Sorry guys, I overslep-" but Sudo choked on his words as he began to realize the amount of girls in their group.

Ike also had his jaw dropped to the floor when he noticed that fact as well.

While Yamauchi's sad existence was.....well, to put it kindly........very out of place.

" Ike. Why the hell are there so many of em!" Sudo grabbed Ike and whispered.

" I-I don't know! Could it be because of Ayanokoji???" Ike replied and then they both looked at Kiyopon and then turned back to each other.

" Definitely, Ayanokoji." They both said.

" Hey! Stop complaining about the amount of girls. This just means more content, right?" Yamauchi whispered.

" Y-You're right! Okay, let's just go along with it." Ike said and the boys started tk regain their composure.

" Okay, everyone! I'm assuming that everyone here is joining us?" Ike asked.

" Hope you don't mind us doing so!" Ichinose said.

" Of course not!" Ike happily replied,

" Anyway, let's go!" Ike said and soon, the large group were on their way towards the pool.

They arrived to a hallway with seperate lockers to change.

" All right! Let's meet at the pool in twenty minutes." Ichinose took charge.

Everyone nodded and soon went their seperate ways.

Kiyopon noticed Ike's heavy breathing, he was obviously excited about this plan of his.

They entered the locker room and the three idiots began to make conversation while Kiyopon silently changed.

Kiyopon knew that they were only putting an act around him by talking about their usual things. The guys were not aware that Kiyopon knew their true intentions.

A week ago, Ike had texted Kiyopon if he would come to the pool and maybe invite some girls as well, to which Kiyopon obliged.

But then, later that day, Kiyopon managed to spot Ike carrying an RC while he was making his way towards his floor.

That made Kiyopon a bit suspicuous, so he took the liberty of consulting the professor since he'd guessed that the professor likely has a part in this when you consider their last stunt during swimming class early in the year.

Kiyopon went to the professor and pretended to know what Ike was doing with the RC by starting the conversation with , this approach made the professor relax and nodded his head while assuring that the

' camera' is a good enough quality to successfully record the girls'.....you know.

But then Kiyopon gave him a blank stare and that's when the professor realized.......that he fucked up.

He immediately begged Kiyopon to not tell anyone. Kiyopon agreed, but in exchange, he had the professor tell him every single bit of detail about this plan.

And that's how we got here.

Kiyopon checked his phone and received a message from Manabe, saying that she'd just entered the locker room.

The girks entered the locker room and began to change.

" Wow, Ichinose-san....your figure is outstanding!" Mori complimented.

Ichinose, who was changing right next to Kushida, seemed a bit embarassed.

" Your figure is also nice, Mori-san. Very slender and it suits your looks quite well." Ichinose countered.

" I know." Mori proudly said.

' Well, I was never one to be jealous of big breasts.....just wondering if Ayanokoji-kun might be into that...' Mori thought.

" Well, fear not. We ALSO have someone who can compete with your wonderfuk body, don't we, Horikita-san?" Mori nudged Horikita suggestively.

Horikita sighs, " Please leave me alone so I can quietly change..." she muttered.

Mori ignored that and immediately gently pulled Sakura Airi.

" H-Huh? Mori-san, what are yo-" but then Sakura immediately squeaked in suprise when Mori forcefully opened her top.

" WAH!" Sakura's face turned red.

Ichinose was suprised while Horikita sighed at Mori's antics.

" Our Sakura-san can go against your body! This is now truly a battle of the best figure! And best figure means breasts, waist, thighs, and-" Mori slapped Sakura's butt, which elicited a squeak from her. " Butt!"

" M-Mori-sann..." Sakura whined.

" You're quite wild, aren't you, Mori-san?" Ichinose giggled.

" Well, I just felt like we had to show off our best assets. An act of pride, you can say." Mori giggled while Sakura tried to shuffle away to continue changing.

" Oh, sorry about that, by the way!" Mori immediately apologized to Sakura.

" I-It's okay....just...please warn me next time..." she begged.

" I won't ever have to do this again, don't worry!" Mori assured and Sakura nodded.

" To quote Ichinose-san.... you really are " wild", aren't you? I didn't expect this from you, even when you were already care-free." Horikita said.

" Well....just wanted to ease the tension with some fun, y'know? I mean, I know we're different classes but can't just chill for now and not think about anything else other than enjoying our last day of summer?" Mori asked.

Ichinose smiled cheerfully at that, " I second that, Mori-san. What do you think, Horikita-san?" She asked.

Horikita sighs, " Whatever. Let's just hurry up." She said.

" Oh. Right!" Ichinose immediately speedrunned and changed to her swimsuit in a minute.

" All right, done! See you out there!" Ichinose waved before grabbing her keys and quickly making her way out.

" She's like a human typhoon...." Horikita mused.

Ichinose was on her way out until she encountered Manabe and some of her friends.

" Morning, Manabe-san." She greeted kindly.

" Morning..." Manabe replied in a disinterested tone.

Their interaction was incredibly brief, so they quickly passed eachother.
