Classroom of the Elite, I Really Just Want to Collect All the CGs

However, compared to something like club activities, making a deal with himself should be more important, right?

This concerns the future of the class.

Shikime Natsu opened a karaoke room and immediately notified Ichinose Honami.

About ten minutes later, Ichinose Honami arrived, accompanied by three girls and one boy.

Hmm... one of the girls wasn't wearing a school uniform and looked quite young; could this be the homeroom teacher of Class B? She looked much younger than Mashima Tomoya.

"Sorry for the wait, Shikime-kun."

Ichinose Honami walked over with a slightly apologetic look on her face.

"No, I was the one who invited you, and it's my fault for making you miss the club activity presentations."

Shikime Natsu waved his hand, signaling for them to sit down.

The boy had short, dark hair, and his expression looked quite serious; his movements were restrained, and his body language wasn't very expressive either.

"Hello, I am Shikime Natsu from Class A of the first year."

Shikime Natsu smiled at the group.

"What a handsome little guy. You asked for our little Honami; you wouldn't happen to be interested in her, would you?"

The woman who appeared to be the homeroom teacher of Class B teased him.

"Hoshinomiya-sensei, please don't say that. Sorry, Shikime-kun."

Hearing Hoshinomiya Chie's words, Ichinose Honami couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. Although her teacher was great, she could be quite unreliable at times.

"Eh, what does it matter~"

"Alright, Hoshinomiya-sensei, please be serious."

The boy beside her spoke up, then turned his gaze toward Shikime Natsu.

"Hello, I am Kanzaki Ryuji from Class B of the first year."

Shikime Natsu nodded, then his gaze fell on the last girl.

This girl was quite petite and cute, wearing her purple hair in a large, neat ponytail with a white hairband. She radiated a very gentle atmosphere; although she was inferior to Ichinose Honami, one could tell at a glance that she was a very easy person to get along with.

"Um... is there something on my face?"

Ever since this girl walked in, her eyes had been fixed on him. Could she be another problematic girl?

Shikime Natsu had to admit that the quality of beautiful girls at this school was truly high, but he also had to admit that there were quite a few problematic girls here as well.

Even this Class B homeroom teacher seemed a bit unreliable.

"Um... Komako?"

Ichinose Honami clearly didn't know what was going on with her friend and spoke up quickly, as staring at someone like that was quite rude.

"Sorry, but... I would like to ask Shikime-kun one thing, is that okay?"

The girl looked at Shikime Natsu, her eyes very serious and her tone soft.

"Yes, that's fine."

Shikime Natsu nodded. If the karaoke room time ran out, he would just extend it.

Ichinose Honami and the others just watched this scene quietly; what was happening before them was truly beyond their expectations.

At first, they had decided that Ichinose Honami and Kanzaki Ryuji would bring Hoshinomiya Chie, but after hearing the name Shikime Natsu, Amikura Mako had volunteered to come along.

Could it be... that there was something between the two of them?

But looking at Shikime Natsu's expression, it was clear he didn't recognize Amikura Mako.

"May I ask if Shikime-kun has ever stayed in the XX region?"

Amikura Mako's tone was slightly agitated. Although it was a question, there was clear certainty in her eyes.

"Yes, that's right."

Shikime Natsu nodded. He was quite clear about where he had stayed, but... he didn't really remember interacting with Amikura Mako.

At the very least, he definitely didn't know her name.

"Then do you remember helping a girl who fainted from hypoglycemia?"

Amikura Mako placed her hands on the table, closing the distance between herself and Shikime Natsu.

"Sorry... I don't really remember."

Shikime Natsu shook his head slightly. That period of time hadn't been very important to him; he had been busy looking for ways to unlock CGs and hadn't paid much attention to the outside world.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that he had helped quite a few people. Especially since there were many delinquents in the area where he lived at the time, all of whom he had taught a good lesson, so he had helped quite a few people. As for helping people with hypoglycemia... Shikime Natsu had done that quite a few times too. He didn't know if the feng shui around his house was bad, but people often fainted from hypoglycemia near his home.

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing Shikime Natsu's answer, a hint of disappointment appeared in Amikura Mako's eyes.

"Hey, hey, little Shikime, I have to have a word with you about this. You should have just played along at a time like this."

Hoshinomiya Chie was quite dissatisfied with Shikime Natsu's answer.

"If I've mistaken you for someone else, I can't admit to something I haven't done."

Regarding this, Shikime Natsu appeared completely indifferent.

"No, although you don't remember, I remember very clearly. Your name is Shikime Natsu."

"If you don't mind, let's reintroduce ourselves. My name is Amikura Mako."

"Thank you for your help back then!"

The girl wore a happy expression, her delicate face filled with joy.

[Ding~]

[CG10: Reunion (Amikura Mako)]

[It's great to see you again]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a skill card: Perfect Tennis Technique (Perhaps you can even compete with aliens now)]

Wait, no, had I really met her before?

Shikime Natsu looked at the CG before him. Clearly, he had indeed met her, and this was a reunion. Damn it, how could he have forgotten such a cute girl?

Unless... she changed her image?

"Well, I'm glad to reintroduce myself."

Shikime Natsu reached out and took the hand Amikura Mako offered. It was soft; the skin of the young girl's palm was incredibly delicate, feeling even more comfortable than high-quality silk. He finally understood why some people loved holding hands so much.

After touching it for a moment, Shikime Natsu withdrew his hand without lingering. If he held it for too long, it would be quite disadvantageous for the transaction he had in mind.

"To celebrate our reunion, shouldn't little Shikime treat us to something?"

Hoshinomiya Chie looked at Shikime Natsu with a smile.

As a teacher, to actually intend on having a student pay for a treat—was something wrong with her?

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic. What is this transaction Shikime-kun mentioned?"

Ichinose Honami was also happy that Amikura Mako had found the person she was looking for, but... the main objective could not be forgotten. Presumably, Shikime Natsu felt the same way.

"Everything in this school can be purchased with points. I assume Hoshinomiya-sensei has already told you that, right?"

"Yes, that's correct. I explained it quite thoroughly, you know."

Hoshinomiya Chie rested her chin on her hands, watching Shikime Natsu with interest.

"Then... the rules of this school can naturally be purchased from a teacher as well. My transaction proposal is for Class B to purchase information from Hoshinomiya-sensei and then hand over the ownership of that information to Class A. In exchange, I will provide the information I already possess, including how to ensure we continue to receive at least 100,000 points before next month."

"I imagine purchasing information from Hoshinomiya-sensei would require a full two million points, but if we break it down into smaller purchases, I think it would be much cheaper."

Shikime Natsu spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping over the four people sitting before him.

His demand was quite clear: use Class B's points to purchase information about this school.

Upon hearing these words, Ichinose Honami and the others fell silent for a moment. Handing over ownership to Shikime Natsu meant they would only possess the right to know.

Meanwhile, Hoshinomiya Chie's eyes flashed with a strange light upon hearing Shikime Natsu's words, as if she were contemplating something. Unlike before, Hoshinomiya Chie was quite quiet at this moment.

She also wanted to interact with the students and influence them, but... it was clearly better to let the students handle things themselves right now, especially since Amikura Mako from her own class was an old acquaintance of Shikime Natsu. Forget it, as long as it wasn't someone from Class D.

I really want a drink...

"If you agree, let's make a contract under the witness of Hoshinomiya-sensei."

After saying this, Shikime Natsu didn't add anything else. This concerned the interests of Class B, and he assumed they would need some time to think.

Yet, unexpectedly, after Ichinose Honami and the others exchanged glances, they seemed to have made a decision immediately.

"Then we'll leave it to you, Shikime-kun."

Ichinose Honami gave Shikime Natsu a very kind smile, her eyes filled with sincerity; it didn't look like a decision made lightly.

Could such a decision really be made so quickly?

"There is still enough time."

Shikime Natsu didn't see any "falseness" in Ichinose Honami's words, so he added that. This girl was so kind that it made his own conscience feel a bit uneasy.

What was the reason for this? Was it because Amikura Mako and he were old acquaintances? Or was it that... everyone in Class B was this naive and kind?

"No need. We only need to know these rules. Besides, if it weren't for Shikime-kun, we wouldn't even know about this."

There was no deception in Ichinose Honami's words; that was exactly what she thought. Kanzaki Ryuji and Amikura Mako felt the same way.

It seems... my luck is as good as ever.

"Since that's the case, I will state the information I currently possess. I ask that Hoshinomiya-sensei re-evaluate the pricing after hearing it."

Shikime Natsu's gaze fell upon Hoshinomiya Chie.

"Of course, leave that to me."
