...

Yes.

Oreki didn't come back.

After contacting Karuizawa, he received a message from Horikita Suzune of Class D.

[Oreki-san, I can't resist Chabashira-sensei, so I'm asking for support. ]by Horikita Suzune.

??

Seeing this message asking for help, Oreki was stunned for a moment.

because it's only been a while since they separated.

Less than 10 minutes have passed. Can't you last even 10 minutes?

But it's a pity that Horikita-san couldn't hold on for even 10 minutes.

...

Ten minutes ago.

Horikita Suzune and Oreki went in different directions. Oreki went to the student council, while Horikita Suzune followed Chabashira-sensei's message and went to the top floor of the teaching building.

Normally, no students come to this kind of place.

However, in the past month, they have often seen Mrs. Chabashira walking up after finishing her class.

Then, some students said that there was an ashtray on the roof of the building, and the ashtray had a lot of cigarette butts.

Cigarette butt?

In other words, Chabashira-sensei went upstairs to smoke.

indeed.

As the class teacher, Class D's performance was very poor.

Then as the homeroom teacher, she would also be very worried.

Even though they knew the school rules on the first day, the students in Class D were unable to control themselves, or in other words, they just messed up and failed to control themselves, resulting in being in the most ordinary classroom under the camera.

They got a lot of points deducted.

So every teacher looks like they have a headache.

But in Horikita's opinion, Chabashira-sensei is a bit weird.

Yes.

It's just weird.

Because the school assesses freshmen, exams are held at the end of every month.

Teachers are probably required not to tell students information, but Chabashira-sensei's classes...how should I put it?

Pretty bad.

The teaching methods are quite bad.

And she will never wait after class, or leave any homework.

In other words, she has a negative attitude.

According to Oreki-san, Mrs. Chabashira is a fierce person, and she also has obsessions.

So maybe she didn't give up on her goal of being promoted from Class D to Class A, which she had not been able to accomplish in the past.

In this way, perhaps Chabashira-sensei hopes that her students in Class D will move up the ladder.

But since you are so persistent, what's the point of just destroying it?

Even if you are more serious and fierce, your class will not dare to be so presumptuous when they see how serious other classes are.

And this first month of enrollment was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Class D to fly.

But the students are not sure, and then you, as the class teacher, are not sure either?

so.

Horikita Suzune didn't understand.

But what she understands is that she is taking the path of a solo player, and she is good enough to raise 20 million.

so.

With a bang, Horikita Suzune pushed open the rooftop door and reached the roof of the teaching building.

Then she saw Sae Chabashira's back holding a cigarette between the fingers of her slender left hand.

Chabashira-sensei is a tall, beautiful woman with a good figure.

And Horikita had already thought of a way to refuse.

If Sae Chabashira asked her to take Class D, she would respond with a tone like "I can't save them, I'm sorry, I'll just give up."

"?"

And Chabashira heard footsteps.

She heard that Horikita Suzune had arrived.

She spoke proactively.

"Your brother is the student council president Horikita, right? Don't deny it. I just want to say if this news is known to other classes, then he will be in danger." Teacher Chabashira said sharply, and Horikita was torn apart in an instant. 

Then, in less than 10 minutes, Oreki received a request for help from Horikita.

[Oreki-san, I can't resist Chabashira-sensei, so I'm asking for support. ]by Horikita Suzune.

...

In the stairwell of the teaching building on the first floor, Horikita Suzune gave up her image of a super pretty girl and sat on the second floor of the stairs.

She held her head in her hands, looking autistic.

And Oreki Houtarou appeared next to her.

In her hand was her cell phone.

Horikita Suzune originally confidently rejected Sae Chabashira, but the other party pointed out that she was the sister of the student council president.

Then...

She was caught at the gate of life.

Looking very weak.

But there is still some remedy.

She made a cellphone recording at the time.

"Choose. Help me, or get your brother into trouble."

This is the voice of an awe-inspiring girl.

It was a voice I had never heard before, but it must be that of Sae Chabashira, the homeroom teacher of Class D.

According to the information revealed by Horikita Manabu, she is a ruthless person.

But it is indeed somewhat excellent, and I suddenly gained insight into the relationship between Horikita Suzune and Horikita Manabu.

It's a bit straightforward, because both of them have the same surname, and they also have some similarities in appearance.

Very easy to identify.

She is just the sister of the top student council president of the school and is assigned to class D. This kind of thing is something that most people would not think about.

only.

For some reason, Oreki felt that Chabashira-sensei and the person in front of him...

He glanced at Horikita Suzune, who was sitting blankly.

Um.

Oreki felt a little weird.

Because I feel that this Chabashira-sensei is somewhat similar to Horikita Suzune, or if Horikita-san grows up without intervention, she will most likely become someone like Chabashira-sensei.

Isn't this a bit of a sigh?

Chabashira's voice continued.

"And my requirements are not high. I just want you to take Class D and be promoted to Class B."

"If you can do it, then this point card is yours."

"The points card contains the salary points I have accumulated over the past three years. After I was paid, I swiped the points into it."

"Now I have accumulated 5 million."

"And Horikita, you are collecting points."

"The school pays great attention to students, especially their point accounts, so if your account has more than one million points, it will be discovered at once."

"So you are originally from Class D. If you fly up with the class, you can not only get the points for the class evaluation score but also get the extra 5 million point cards I gave you. It is not a loss for you."

"Then in this exam, take action!"

"Beep!"

The recording ends.

In other words, did Horikita Suzune look like this because Chabashira pinched her life gate and then accepted such a commission?

"And you also got the point card from Chabashira-sensei, right?"

Oreki returned the phone to Horikita Suzune.

"Um."

Horikita-san handed Oreki a black card similar in size to the room card they were given.

There is a fixed QR code on it.

Oreki had seen this kind of card before, and it seemed that he could scan points into it and then draw them out bit by bit.

In other words, to prevent the points from being queried, the school has this kind of thing by default.

In other words, what this school wants to cultivate is not the kind of upright and excellent people.

It also provides a platform, space, and occasion for some shady means and opportunities.

Chabashira went to look for Horikita specifically and even prepared point cards.

Instructions are prepared.

So it's normal that Horikita Suzune, who is just a little chick, couldn't resist.

"Then, what should I do next?" Horikita Suzune seemed to have managed to calm down her emotions and raised her head.

The originally clear and awe-inspiring pupils seemed to have become a little weak.

This seems a bit weak.

Oreki had seen this state before, and it happened on the night when she was asked to drop out of school by Horikita-senpai, who was the student council president.

In other words, she felt that she couldn't handle it when her class teacher found out that she was assigned to Class D and had a sibling relationship with the outstanding student council president.

Maybe she's afraid of embarrassing her brother.

Um.

She followed Oreki like a horse...no, she followed his instructions and gained points.

There is hope for the future for her.

As a result, now, it is equivalent to being beaten with a stick.

So, the mentality explodes.

"It's not that bad," Oreki reassured the other person.

"The task given to you by your class teacher is to lead Class D to be promoted to Class B."

"and."

Oreki held the point card and said, "She has already brought over the 5 million point card, which shows that she is still sincere."

Oreki is a student of Class A, and the mission given by Chabashira to Horikita Suzune is to bring Class D to Class B.

And even if Class D climbs up to Class B, they will soon fall off.

It's not a threat.

Rather, if they can climb up and interest Princess Sakayanagi who finds class competition boring, then they will be able to maintain Class A.

Then maybe it's a good thing for him.

"But I think it's a bit inconsistent." Houtaro Oreki said.

"Violation?"

Oreki nodded.

"From the information I obtained from your brother, and then through my special channels, I learned that your head teacher is an obsessed person."

"She uses points formally to motivate you to move forward."

"It's a little weird."

"Because I thought she was the kind of ruthless person who would do whatever it takes," Oreki said. "At the same time, I can confirm that her target is not just Class B, but Class A."

"So it's a bit strange to only ask you to take your class to Class B." Oreki analyzed.

"Do you think I'm not strong enough?"

Horikita Suzune said. "Yeah, after all, there's no way I can beat you. You're in Class A."

It was a rather autistic thing to say, but she got it.

In other words, it can already be said.

"Chabashira-sensei probably knows this, so that's why she didn't change the task to let me lead the class to be promoted to Class A."

"It's just now——" Horikita said.

Probably because she had just been comforted by Oreki, Horikita took back the point card.

"Can I ask you a favor?"

"Oreki-san."

"Since it's 5 million points, then... I can share half of it with you, but."
