In Class 2-D, after Kushida Kikyo learned that Ayanokoji had seen what happened that night, she'd wanted him expelled. To that end, she'd even sought help from Kamio Tatsuya.
But Kamio Tatsuya hadn't helped her. Even if he told people what had happened that night, no one would believe someone like Ayanokoji.
So Kamio Tatsuya had told Kushida to stay away from Ayanokoji and not get involved with him. She was to keep her distance and make sure she didn't give him anything he could use against her.
In fact, Kushida had done just that, and things had been going pretty well for her lately. Since she'd agreed to act as his informant, Kamio Tatsuya had been giving her spending money.
So even in poor Class D, Kushida was still living quite comfortably.
At least she didn't need to worry about money.
For all this time, Kamio Tatsuya hadn't asked Kushida to do anything. Now it was her turn to prove herself!
If word got out that Kushida wanted Ayanokoji expelled, the White Room students would surely be unable to sit still.
As for how to get the message to them without exposing Kushida's other side to the entire school, Kamio Tatsuya already had a plan.
He couldn't just tell Tsukishiro directly. That would be too stupid, and the other man would definitely get suspicious.
In the end, scheming was all about exploiting an information gap to mislead others.
The fifth-year students got their information on the second-years from Tsukishiro. Ayanokoji had learned that from Amasawa during their conversation the other day.
And Kamio Tatsuya knew that Nagumo and Tsukishiro were working together.
But Tsukishiro and Nagumo didn't know about the relationship between Kamio Tatsuya and Kushida. To outsiders, they were simply ordinary classmates.
That led to a simple conclusion:
