The door to the Student Council Room was pushed open again, and two people entered. Sakagami-sensei explained, "Sorry, I ran into Ryuen in the restroom and chatted with him for a while. He seemed interested in this matter too. Student Council President, could Ryuen join us?"
"No problem."
Horikita Manabu replied calmly.
Having received permission, Ryuen walked straight over to Tachibana Secretary, snatched the camera from him, and began fiddling with it.
However, the meeting room door remained open. Sakura poked half her head inside to peek at the situation. Only after seeing Yeyue wave at her did she trot over to stand behind him.
Yeyue asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I was just... concerned about the outcome."
"Have you been waiting outside this whole time, Sakura?"
"...Hm."
Sakura Airi gave a faint nod.
Yeyue said casually, "Fine. Since you're already here, find somewhere to sit first."
"N-No... I'm fine standing..."
Sakura Airi shook her head in a panic. Although there were several empty seats beside Sudo, sitting there was far too frightening. Standing behind Yeyue made her feel much safer.
Yeyue didn't say more. Whatever she preferred was just fine. Not sitting despite there being seats was Sakura's own choice; deliberately making room for her would only seem affected. Besides, he had no intention of giving Sakura a chance to grow closer to Hirata.
Just then, Ryuen Kakeru tapped the camera screen with his fingertip and said disdainfully, "This kind of thing can count as evidence?"
"Ryuen, we have already discussed whether it can be used as evidence."
"You're Hirata from D Class, right? Of course I know that."
With both hands in his pockets, Ryuen slowly circled over to D Class. His eyes fixed on Sakura like a venomous snake. "You're Sakura Airi, right? You've got some nerve.
