She received a message.
[Would the school Principal grovel directly at your father's feet?]
"..."
What a baffling message.
But she checked the sender again.
Houtarou Oreki.
It was Classmate Oreki.
"Beep—" Sakayanagi Arisu was about to call him directly.

[It's settled. I owe you one.]
[Classmate Oreki, you really are my lucky star. ?(^_-)~~]
Oh.
Ignoring Classmate Sakayanagi's latter message, Oreki confirmed that he had obtained one favor from Sakayanagi Arisu.
That white-stockinged little rich girl was aggressive.
And remarkably perceptive.
