"Why!?" Ike shouted when I rejected.

"I don't mess with anyone's love life. " I said.

In fact, This was an impossible mission. Horikita didn't get along with Kushida. And Kushida hated Horikita so much. They're like oil and water.

"More than that, why do you ask me?" I asked Ike. "I can't even find myself a girlfriend. How can I find someone else's?"

"First, you're popular! and you're close with Horikita and Kushida." Ike stopped the word and looked at me anxiously. "You aren't Horikita's boyfriend, are you?"

I hooked my head.

"Well. There is no problem then."

"Yes, there is. And why did you tell me to take the food?"

When he called me, he told me to take the food with me. So I took the cup-noodle. I handed it to Ike.

"Oh, Cup noodle. Can I eat it?" Ike asked me. I noticed that he was thinner than before.

"S--Sure."

Ike took the cup noodle. He walked to the kitchen and poured the hot water in the cup, then came back and sat before me.

"Sorry for bothering you. I don't have money to buy any food. And I can't cook so the free ingredients are useful." He explained.

"What? Didn't we get 8700 points this month?"

After the midterm test. Our class point turned to 87. Many people tried to change their lifestyle, be more strict, and didn't use the point with the unnecessary things.

"Out of it." He stood up and walked to the bookshelf. I followed him. "I used it to cultural thing."

Ike spread his hand to his bookshelf proudly. I looked at it. Most of the book was manga.

"Citrus, Bloom into you, Miss Kobayashi's maid dragon---" I read those names.

"They're innovations, Ayanokouji," said Ike. "Luckily, our country knew how to create civilization."

I didn't understand his word at all.

"Anyway. You have to help me shipping Horikita-Chan and Kushida-Chan."

"You don't move on from that topic yet? You like Kushida, don't you?"

Ike sighed bored. "Just read my monologue in the last chapter, okay?"

"Look. I'm not cupid or something. I don't know how to make it."

Ike opened his mouth to say the words. But someone knocked on the door. Ike raised his eyebrows and walked to open the door.

His visitor was Sudo Ken.

"Oh, How're you, Ken?"

"Are Ayanokouji here?" Sudo asked immediately.

"Y--yes, why?"

Sudo saw me, he pushed Ike to the side and walked to me.

"Aynokouji, help me!"

"What?"

"I have a problem!"

I didn't understand. I didn't even his best friend and I didn't the smart guy who solve everything. Why did he ask me to help?

More than that---

"How do you know I am here?"

"I went to your room first. But when I went into your room. But I didn't meet you. Doctor told me he saw you go to Kanji's room--"

"Wait. Did you go inside my room? I'm sure I locked the door."

"We think your room was our base. So Kanji, Haruki, and I make your room's keycard."

"It's criminal!"

"No. Until you tell the police." Sudo said and sat on Ike's bed. "Forget it. Ayanokouji, help me!"

"Don't forget it. And if you have a problem, why don't ask Ike and Yamauchi?"

"Huh, they're all dumb."

Ike coughed. "I'm here too, this's my room. And before solving your problem, Ayanokouji is going to help me shipping Kushida-Chan and Horikita-Chan, first."

Oi, don't say as I agreed with that idea.

Sudo stood up.

"Hey! Horikita was mine. I don't give her to any other guy or girl!" He raised his fist and reach it to Ike, who retreat immediately. This was another reason why I didn't want to help.

"Did you say something about me?" I heard a cheerful voice from outside.

Kushida Kikyo walked into the room and smiled. When Ike realized class D's Madonna was in his room. He fell to the ground.

"Are you okay, Ike-Kun?"

"I'm fine! And we said nothing about you. Right? Ayanokouji. "

I nodded. "Yes, nothing. Kushida, why are you here too?"

Sudo answered instead. "Kushida suggests I ask you for help."

"Please. Ayanokouji-Kun. Help Sudo-Kun, please."

Kushida looked at me with puppy eyes.

If it was the last month, I would do her wish unreluctantly. But now, I know Kushida's other personality.

She looked like a friendly person. But the fact is she was the 2-face girl who tried to threaten me for telling no one about her truth.

You know, bitch? I would never fall for your fake cute face again.

So I said.

"If Kushida said so. Sudo, what's your problem?"

I'm a guy though.

Sudo made eye contact with Kushida. He nodded and started saying.

"Maybe, I will be suspended."

"What!?" Ike shouted.

"What happened, Sudo?" I asked him.

"I fought with class C's guys yesterday. " Sudo explained. "There is 3. I hurt them, so they told the teacher."

Ike and I looked at each other shockingly. But considering Sudo's personality, this wasn't strange at all. On the first day of school, he argued with the senior. The strange thing was he didn't get any problem until now.

"I didn't start first!" Sudo told us. "They started first. I protected myself but they're too weak. When they lost me, they ran to their teacher. Those sons of bitches!"

I raised my hand. "Calm down, Sudo. More detail, please."

Sudo nodded and tried to calm himself.

"Okay, I go too fast. Um. Last week, the couch to me I will play in the summer match."

"Congratulation! Sudo-Kun!" Kushida clapped.

"Thank you, anyway. I am the only first-year who will play on the ground. So Kondo and Komiya who are in the club to envy me. Yesterday, they called me to met them. But there is Ishizaki too. Ishizaki told me they're his friend and if I don't resign from the club. They will hurt me. Hah! Said as they can do it. When I refuse, those pigs assault me, so I punched them to protect myself and left.

"But today, Chabashira-Sensei called me to the teacher's room and told me those blockheads told the school I hit them. If the school has investigated and thinks it's true. I will get suspended for a month. Maybe I won't play in the match this summer too!"

"What!!!" Ike shouted. "It's not your fault, Sudo. This's their fault! The ones who be suspended should be them, not you!"

"Let's tell the teacher about it!" Kushida supported.

But I stopped them.

"Wait a minute. " I said. "If you tell the teacher now, they won't believe you. We have no evidence."

"They have no evidence too!" Sudo protested.

"No, they have. Their wound proves you hurt them. But you have nothing to prove they started first, right?"

Kushida nodded. "Ayanokouji-Kun is right. Sudo-Kun, do you think someone sees the incident?"

Sudo shook his head.

"No, I met them at a special building. There are a few people there. I think we are the only people who use that building yesterday."

"So no witness?" Ike shook his head slowly. "Yabai, Yabai. Not good."

"This's unfair! I am a victim!" Sudo yelled and kicked Ike's bed. "And they told me that they will deduct our class points too!"

This situation was so bad. We couldn't use only Sudo's word to defend him. We need witnesses.

"Are you sure that nobody there?" I asked him.

Sudo thought for a while and said.

"I'm not sure if it's only my feeling. But I felt like someone was peeking at us."

"Great!" Ike clapped his hand. "We just find that guy and everything will be solved!"

"I told you, it's only my feeling."

Everyone became silent and thought. Sudo held his head with worry.

Finally, Kushida started saying.

"I think there are 2 ways. First, try to convince that C-guys to admit that they're lying."

"No way!" Sudo said. "They're a coward dog. "

"So, we have another way, try to find the witness."

"I think this's the best way!" Ike said.

I agreed with him. It was too optimistic to think that someone would see the incident and agree to be a witness. But this is the best way we have. The only way.

"I will ask my friend to help!" Kushida said. What an angel.

But Sudo shook his head.

"Sorry for bothering you, but I don't want anyone to know about it."

"What?" Ike shouted.

"If the basketball club knows, I will lose everything. Please, don't take a basketball from me."

Oh, I feel bad for him.

"Ok, we won't tell," said Kushida. "But what about class C?"

"Yes, it will be more advantage if they spread the news."

We couldn't know how class C move. I reminded myself about the conversation in the toilet last month. There were three guys from three class talked about this school system. The guy from class C who threatened me for giving him a paper said he would do anything to decrease the other class's score.

Could it be...

No, they wouldn't get anything from attacking the lowest class.

But, didn't he say if I want to practice, I won't mess with the final boss?

This might be his practice. We're just the minions. He killed us for level up.

Sudo sighed.

"It depends on my luck, then."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am the luckiest man on earth.

But Sudo not.

Chabashira-Sensei announced to the class the next day.

"I have something to announce. 2 days ago. Sudo quarrels with class C. They get hurt and report it to school. But the school hasn't judged yet. Because class C claimed that they were called to the special building and attacked by Sudo. But Sudo claimed it's not true. Class C called him and tried to attack him first. So he needs to protect himself."

Yes, very direct and no prejudge.

Everyone in the class turned their eyes to Sudo.

"Fxck." He cursed. "I didn't do anything. I just protect myself."

"Do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence..."

"When you say something. You need evidence to prove it. Do you have some?"

"No, but..."

"In this class, Can anyone be Sudo's witness?"

No one raised their hand. I looked around and felt the anger from everyone. They maybe felt like He again?, and I understood them.

"It seems no one can be your witness. However. No matter, you get your evidence or not. The judgment was still on the next Tuesday." Chabashira-Sensei said before walked out of the classroom.

Everyone started to gossip and looked at Sudo sometimes. They think Sudo was either useless and make only the problem too.

Sudo was completely trashed now.

"Damn it!" Sudo punched the desk loudly. He walked out of the classroom too.

I turned my face to my neighbor, Horikita Suzune started packing her staff.

In front of the class, Hirata stood there and announced.

"Everyone, I want some cooperate from your guy." He looked around. "I want to help Sudo. So if anyone knew---"

"Why do we have to help him?" Shinohara said.

"Right, He did only problem!" following by Yukimura.

"In this case, He was wrong for sure."

Maybe Kushida couldn't stand it. So she stood up and said. "Everyone, please listen to me only a second."

Then she started telling the story that Sudo told us yesterday. About how everything goes on. Why class C tried to insult Sudo. Her influence was much enough to make everyone pay attention to her story. But not enough to make everyone believe.

After she finished her story. Yamauchi spoke.

"Hey, Kushida-Chan. Do you believe him?"

Ike and I looked at him with surprise. Yamauchi was the last person in this room that I expected to insult Sudo.

"I didn't believe him. I think he just lied to escape the guilt. He told me when he was in middle school. He always quarreled with someone. He thought me how to punch and punch me very hard. I still hurt now. He is a real delinquent."

Yamauchi's words were like tinder. Everyone started saying their mind out loud.

"I don't believe him too. He grabbed the other classman who bump into him once."

"He overtook the restaurant line. When I warned him, he was angry at me!"

"Once, I joked him a bit, he tried to kick me."

"I haven't poop for 3 days. Maybe I ate the vegetables and fruits too little."

Okay, the last one was your mind. But it didn't relate to our topic and you shouldn't say it out loud, Hondo.

"I believe him!" Our hero, Hirata Yousuke said. It made the room calmer. "Come on. Sudo-Kun is our friend. We shouldn't doubt him, right?"

"Sometimes I went to the toilet, sat and wait. But nothing happened." Hondo still said what was in his mind.

"Ok, Hondo-Kun. I will help with your constipation after this. But now, I want everyone to help Sudo-Kun, please."

"I agreed with you!"

Karuizawa Kei, Hirata's girlfriend, said while setting her hair. I was surprised that she pay attention to this topic. Because I saw her mess with her hair since Chabashira-Sensei's announcement.

"If Sudo-Kun was innocent. He will very pity."

Karuizwa's words were powerful enough to convince the girls. The classroom's atmosphere was changed. Although someone felt unpleasure to Sudo, they didn't say it out loud. When the three most powerful students of the class said, everyone would agree.

"Let's help him."

Yamauchi who just talking bad with his friend for a minute ago was yelling too.

I stood up and packed my stuff.

If we want to help Sudo, we need to ask someone for help.

I headed to Keyaki mall.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"No."

Horikita said with no mercy. She bit the waffle.

We were in a cafe called Moonshine. It's Horikita's favorite cafe. Today, there were only me and Horikita. I wonder if there was another customer.

"Why? Sudo was our friend, wasn't he?"

"Your friend." Horikita fixed my words.

"Anyway. You help him for once. If you threw him away now, everything we did in the last volume will be wasted."

"But if he gets a problem again, we will waste more than now. " Horikita said coldly. "With his personality, the problem will come again and again."

"You're too---"

"You see? Sudo-Kun still thinks he wasn't wrong. But the fact is his personality makes everyone felt bad, he provokes everyone, and he is provoked easily. He lacks restrain. In the future, I'm sure he will quarrel with someone again. And that time, I'm afraid he will be the one who starts."

Horikita got the point. So I can't deny her.

"You're saying this suspend will improve his habit?"

"Yes. Sudo-Kun is useful. But he's still defective. We need to fix him."

"Although our room will lose the point."

"If Sudo-Kun was still like this, we'll lost points more than this."

"Although we will lose the opportunity to gain more personal point?"

Horikita turned her eyes out of the waffle.

"What do you mean?"

"Chabashira-Sensei told us yesterday, don't you remember? She said we can get the personal point from the club's activity. Sudo will play in the ground this summer, if he wins, he will get the personal point, too"

Horiktia thought for a while. If Sudo didn't play the summer's match. He will lose the opportunity to get the points. Although it was personal points. It was still useful for the class. Chabashira-Sensei told us that we could buy everything in this school with the point. Horikita sold the list of single hot guys to Sensei, exchanged it with the points for bought Sudo's grade.

Finally, Horikita sighed.

"Ok. I will help. But please remember. it's impossible for him to not get any penalty though."

She started cutting the waffle.

"Can you feed me once?" I asked her.

She looked at me. "Do you want to die?"

"No, ma'am. I enjoy my life now."

She sighed. "Anyway. I can feed you information instead. There is a witness in our class."

"Really? But no one show when Chabashira-Sensei asked."

"You should look around. Despite everyone pay attention to Sensei, but Sakura Airi tried to avoid the teacher's glance."

I became silent.

"Who is Sakura Airi, again?"

"The girl that sits next to me, how idiot you are?"

"Oh, that's a girl. Don't blame me. I never talked to her so I can't remember."

Sakura Airi was the girl with pink hair and glass. Ike and Sudo were excited about her for a while. Because her breast was the biggest one of our class. But she was too normal. They stopped excited her very fast.

"Many girls are talking to you though. It's not strange if you can't remember." Horikita said.

"Are you jealous of me? Come on, I have only you." I teased her.

"If you said that again, I will kill you and use you for filling the waffle. But I won't eat it myself. I will get it to flush it in the toilet, so you will stay on the place that belongs to you."

"Sorry, ma'am."

I told myself to not mess with the Siscon Yan and not Dere girl.

"So if we want a witness, I should ask Sakura, right?"

Horikita nodded. "Yes. But I think it'll be hard work."

"Why?"

"If you could speak with her for 2 minutes without her running away from you, you'll know why."

I sighed and stood up.

"I will go back to the dorm. Can you--"

"No, I won't treat you."

"I know it." But I want to try if I was lucky. I picked my pocket but I couldn't find it. "Shit!"

"What's wrong?" Horiktia asked me.

"I forgot my pocket, maybe in the classroom. My student card was there too."

This was bad. How should I do?

I walked to the cashier.

"Charge with my girlfriend there," I whispered, tried to make sure Horikita didn't hear me.

Before I walked out of the store, I waved to her.

"Goodbye, darling." This will make the cashier believe me.

"Do you really want to die?"

The cashier smiled and said. "Oh, what a cute Tsundere girlfriend."

Horikita looked at her with confusion, but I have walked away already.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

The sky became orange when I reached the classroom.

I was about to walk into the room when I heard something from inside.

"Why don't I say that? I'm the worst."

It was a little cute voice. It felt like the kitten's sound. I never heard that sound before.

I walked into the classroom quietly and saw someone was sitting at her table.

Sakura Airi.

She didn't saw me because she was looking at her hand.

"Why don't I say? Why can't I talk with anyone!?"

"Sakura---"

I called her name. Sakura turned her eyes to me. Her eyes opened wide when she saw me. She stood up and ran away. I ran to her before she walked out of the classroom.

But I bumped into her with the accident.

Yes, I fell on her. H.A.R.E.M. protagonist syndrome caused this.

Her face was so close.

"A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-----"

Her lips shook while trying to say something.

"S---Sorry." I get off her immediately.

Sakura stood up and tried to walk out of the classroom.

Then, I realized something.
