But Oreki was not the sort of person who wanted to cheat or two-time someone, so there was no need to worry about that.
What concerned him was that the Precognitive Dream revealed Yanagi would be expelled during the first semester of her second year.
And now, the first semester of the second year had only just begun.
He hoped that moment would not come so soon.
So, Oreki gave Arisu Sakayanagi the hat gift Kei had helped him choose before.
Her appearance was cute, and her figure probably would not develop any further in the future.
Still, there was no denying that the hat made her ten points cuter.
"Also, when I went out with Kikyou Kushida this time, I ran into that Class 1-A junior I had been watching."
"Ichika Amasawa."
"She is most likely a White Room Student as well. Either she got Kikyou Kushida's embarrassing history from Yagami, or she saw it through Tsukishiro." Oreki said. "She seems extremely interested in Kikyou Kushida. She openly told Housen that she wanted to get in touch with her."
"Then while she says her target is Kikyou Kushida, her real target is Ayanokouji as well," Arisu Sakayanagi said.
Like Oreki, Sakayanagi had settled on a method for finding White Room Students.
Anyone who approached Kikyou Kushida was a White Room Student.
Kikyou Kushida really was an unusually useful presence.
Perhaps having both realized that, the two exchanged a knowing look.

"Come to think of it..." Kei had returned to her dorm room at this hour as well.
But she did not go to sleep. Instead, she lay on her bed looking at her phone, where her friend and bestie Maya Sato had sent her a message.
[This is bad, Kei. Horikita and Kikyou Kushida went to Houtarou's dorm
