You're a Good Person

Lunchtime.

Outside Class 1-A.

"Excuse me, could you tell me if Kamuro Masumi is in the classroom?

Which one is she?"

Kobashi Yume and Shiranami Chihiro had come to Class A together. They'd originally planned to bring Ichinose along, but it seemed she couldn't make it because she had something to do.

The student they'd asked pointed to Kamuro Masumi, who was looking over her notes, and said,

"See her? The one studying over there is Kamuro-san. Would you like me to call her for you?"

"Could you? Thank you!"

"No problem. It's no trouble at all."

The girl said this and walked over to Kamuro Masumi.

Once they were out in the hallway, Amikura Mako began introducing herself.

"Hello, Kamuro-san. We're students from Class 1-B.

I'm Kobashi Yume, and this is Shiranami Chihiro."

"So? What do you want? I'm in a hurry to study."

Kamuro Masumi sounded impatient. Her grades were already poor, and now she was being interrupted.

She wasn't in danger of failing, but things weren't exactly looking good, either.

If the exams got harder later on, she'd be in trouble!

She's scary!

Seeing how impatient the other girl was, Amikura Mako hurried to explain why they'd come.

"Well, I heard that you're Gojo-kun's girlfriend, so I wanted to ask if you knew how to contact him.

Or it'd be even better if you knew where Gojo-kun was right now!"

Huh?! They're looking for Satoru?

Kamuro Masumi glanced at the two girls in front of her, who were about as small as children, and said helplessly,

"Forget it. Satoru wouldn't fall for little kids like you."

It seemed she'd misunderstood. Shiranami Chihiro immediately explained,

"You've got it wrong! Actually..."

After she'd heard the whole story,

Kamuro Masumi started to feel anxious!

Seriously?! Satoru has a childhood friend like that?!

What if he accepted her when they met?

Would he still stay with her?

But... but she really did feel sorry for the other girl.

She'd waited so long and done so much, only to think that he didn't need her anymore.

Kamuro Masumi wanted to hide the fact that she and Satoru weren't actually together, but she couldn't bring herself to be that cruel.

If she were in the other girl's shoes, she might not have handled things any better.

No! I trust Satoru!

That promise was probably just something he'd made when he was too young to know better.

Satoru definitely liked her now. They just hadn't made their feelings clear to each other yet.

They hadn't seen each other in so long. There was no way Satoru would accept her.

"Satoru and I aren't actually dating yet, and he doesn't have a girlfriend.

If you want to find him, you can go straight to his dorm room. It's Room 412.

Or you could try the Cat Cafe in the shopping district. He likes going there.

You don't need his contact information. He doesn't seem to like checking his phone."

Kamuro Masumi told them the truth. She didn't believe Satoru would give her up for a girl he hadn't seen in ages.

She might as well let him reject the girl in person, so she wouldn't keep feeling sad.

"R-really?!"

Hearing that Gojo Satoru was still single, Kobashi Yume grew excited.

Her best friend had become so gloomy because of this. If she found out it was all a misunderstanding, she'd definitely cheer right up!

"Thank you, Kamuro-san! You're a good person!"

After thanking her, she grabbed Shiranami Chihiro and ran off.

I trust Satoru so much, so why do I have such a bad feeling?

Feeling her heart beat a little faster, Kamuro Masumi had a bad feeling about this.

"Mako's phone is turned off! What should we do?

Should we go straight to her dorm and look for her?"

After she couldn't get through on the phone again and again, Kobashi Yume started to panic.

But Shiranami Chihiro beside her tried to reassure her.

"Mako won't do anything foolish!

Let's go see her after school. We haven't even had lunch yet.

Then we can explain everything to her and go with her to find Gojo-kun."

"Okay, okay. Let's go after school."

Kobashi Yume was starting to feel hungry, too, so she had no choice but to agree. If they went now, they'd miss their afternoon classes.

Still, for some reason, she couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen.

After school.

Class 1-D.

As soon as the teacher left, Hirata stood up and said,

"Everyone, please stay for a moment. I have something to say.

The teacher told us this morning that students who fail the official exams will be expelled.

So I'd like to organize a study group to help students who are struggling.

Of course, students who are doing well are welcome to join, too. That way, we can help everyone more effectively.

I hope lots of you will sign up!"

As soon as Hirata finished speaking, the class angel stood up to support him.

"Yeah, yeah! We worked so hard to become friends with everyone. I don't want us to get separated so soon.

So I'm here to help, too!"

While some students were still wondering whether they should join, Koenji Rokusuke stood up and started to leave the classroom.

"Koenji-kun?"

Hirata called out to him.

But Koenji answered confidently without even looking back.

"A study group?

That's for people who are useless.

A beautiful man like me has absolutely no need for one."

With that, he walked out of the classroom.

Seeing someone take the lead, students with good grades, like Horikita Suzune and Yukimura Teruhiko, left as well.

Horikita Suzune couldn't accept that she was in Class D and planned to ask the teacher if there'd been some kind of mistake.

Yukimura Teruhiko, meanwhile, didn't want to keep widening the gap between himself and Gojo Satoru over something so pointless.

Seeing most of the students with good grades leave the classroom,

Kanji Ike and the others started to follow, but Hirata called them back.

"Ike, your grades aren't looking too good, are they?

Why are you leaving, too?"

After hearing himself singled out and insulted, Kanji Ike raised his voice.

"So what? I only need to pass. I just didn't try last time.

If I put in a little effort, I can do it. I don't need to join a study group.

If that guy Gojo Satoru can get full marks without studying, then I can't believe I'd fail if I actually applied myself!"

He said this and quickly left. If he stayed any longer, he'd really make a fool of himself—though there wasn't much difference from how things were already.

Seeing a whole group of students with poor grades leave, Hirata felt helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

They didn't want to study, and he couldn't force them. He didn't want what happened in middle school to happen again!

"Hirata-kun, what should we do now?

So many students have already left. Should we still hold the study group?"

Seeing the boy she liked being ignored worried Wang Meiyu.

But aside from English, her other grades were only average. She couldn't help much.

Hirata glanced at the students who were still in the classroom and reassured them.

"It's all right. We can get started.

Maybe they'll change their minds later!"

Not wanting the mood to sink any further, Hirata said something that sounded rather helpless.

I really should go talk to Gojo-kun!

"Achoo!!"

"Huh? Is someone thinking about me?"

Gojo Satoru, who was keeping "Nyanko-sensei" company (and playing with him), suddenly sneezed in the Cat Cafe.

"By the way, it's May first today, right? They've probably started regretting it by now.

But it's fine. Next month will still be zero!"

Thinking about what was going on in the class, Gojo Satoru laughed mischievously.
