Classroom of the Elite: Houtarou Oreki

"Next group!"

The referee had already begun calling for the next participants to get ready.

Kei and Sato hurriedly focused their attention.

Although coming in last, even scoring last in the Sports Festival, would not bring any punishment, they still... did not want the person they liked to see them embarrass themselves.

"Sato and Karuizawa are really giving it their all."

As the fifth group finished and they arrived at the rest station, the petite silver-haired Student Council President said this.

Beside her stood a tall girl with long purple hair and a hairpin.

This was Kamuro.

As Sakayanagi's dog, she naturally stayed by Sakayanagi's side whenever she was needed.

Right now, she was handing her a towel.

"By the way, you ran really fast. Was everything before this an act?" Kamuro could not help asking.

She knew Sakayanagi's physical condition all too well.

She had needed a cane even to get around.

And for more intense activities... well, like the couple-like behavior she had always looked forward to, Kamuro had thought Sakayanagi might get too excited and simply drop dead.

In other words.

Sakayanagi's body had been weak to that extent.

Yet now she ran faster than a rabbit. Judging from that speed just now, Kamuro did not even think she could beat her.

So.

Sakayanagi, you had to be cheating.

That was what Kamuro really wanted to say.

"I do not know the specifics either," Sakayanagi said. "But it must be because of love."

"My romance with Oreki brought about a miracle."

"And Kamuro, you can consider it too... no, on second thought, do not consider it. If you fall in love, you will not be able to focus your attention on me."

"So please do not fall in love for the next ten years, Kamuro."

Right.
