She Smells So Good-Why Is She Using the Same One as Me?

Nakano Yuu and Horikita destroyed both notes written by Nakano Yuu and Chabashira.

Then, Nakano Yuu took his own phone by himself.

Horikita and Kushida's phones will continue to be kept by Chabashira-sensei.

Then they let Chabashira-sensei leave.

After all, Chabashira-sensei is a teacher. Although we borrowed him to help, this is ultimately about the students' exams, so it's best to minimize the teachers' involvement.

Only.

Chabashira there, somewhat lost in thought, carrying the students' bags filled with cell phones.

Although she was called in to help, now that she's no longer needed, letting her go gives me the feeling that I've suddenly become a tool.

She had that same feeling about Horikita before, and now it's her turn?

Chabashira-sensei pondered for a moment, then thought carefully.

Then.

The students' phones were put into a cabinet in the room and locked. Chabashira then took out a phone.

The time is 8:40.

There was still some time before the students were scheduled to meet at 9 o'clock.

But she also had questions.

Just as I was about to send the message, I discovered that the hotel room door had been opened.

It turned out to be my roommate Hoshinomiya Chie had come in.

"Oh, Sae, are you playing on your phone? That's nice."

"Yes, I like it too! When I know the students have to obediently take the exams, I love to slack off during those times."

"That's what the Hoshinomiya said."

"But who are you contacting? Could it be that you've finally fallen for him?"

Clearly, Chabashira-sensei's best friend today is also quite fake.

P. S.: 15,500 words today, 11,500 words still owed. I'm also repaying the bounty for returning the old book, "Oregairu's Classroom of the Elite," which currently owes 152,500 words. Why so many words today? Oh well, it's because I've already written about the cover!

P. S.: The bounty is still ongoing, brothers. I've almost paid off the bounty debts I owed, and then I'll be debt-free. Let me update like crazy! I love writing.

Chapter 89 She smells so good! How come she uses the same product as me!

On the other side...

Nine o'clock.

The members of the twelve groups gathered in their respective designated rooms.

The corridor was crowded with students, and the rooms of the assemblies seemed to be connected, divided into two floors, with Nakano Yuu Yu's Rabbit Group on the lower floor.

However, Nakano Yuu arrived just in time, so he didn't have to squeeze in with the crowd.

A sign hung on the door of the room that read "[Rabbit Group(兔)]"

"Snap!"

Pushing open the door, I found thirteen people already seated inside, sitting in a circle.

"No matter how many times I watch it, I still think it's the worst combination ever."

Yukimura pushed up his glasses, making no attempt to hide his indifference and disdain.

Certainly--

The object of his affections is neither Nakano Yuu nor the otaku Sotomura.

It was Karuizawa.

Well, it's probably the boys' ridiculous sense of pride at play. Especially now that students from four different classes are there, and even though they're all from the same class, Karuizawa moved his chair so far away from them, showing a strong sense of rejection. They're all from the same class, why the fuss?

It made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

Unlike him, the other boys looked at Karuizawa with curiosity and admiration, after all, Karuizawa was indeed cute.

Because he arrived late, Nakano Yuu saw that Ichinose Honami had also arrived.

She was also assigned to the Rabbit Group.

It must be said that Ichinose eyes droop slightly, making her look gentle and harmless. Combined with long eyelashes and full under-eye bags, she exudes a unique girlish innocence.

A warm smile always graces her lips, and the sparkle in her eyes, along with her hair that flutters in the wind, creates a vibrant and energetic image, radiating an approachable and reassuring charm.

"Hey hello, Nakano-kun, good morning."

With a smile on her face, Ichinose stood up and waved to Nakano Yuu.

She appears quite gentle, but she treats everyone this way. It's no wonder she's an archangel of her age; her affability is off the charts. Even the misogynistic Yukimura has a soft spot for her.

However, this "Ya Hello" is quite distinctive.

"Good morning."

Nakano Yuu returned the smile and then sat down in the remaining empty seat.

To his left sat Yukimura, who had an indifferent expression, while to his right...

Karuizawa, sitting at a considerable distance from the others, was the other person.

If Karuizawa was avoiding the students in Class D, it was more like she was avoiding all of them.

She seemed to notice him approaching, but she didn't move.

Oh.

A rather cold attitude.

However, this was probably his instruction to make her act a little distant when the group gathered, in order to prevent Ichinose misunderstanding. And she did a good job, but Nakano Yuu also noticed the shortcomings of this instruction.

That means there seems to be a problem with the composition of this group. It's not a problem that the students in Class B are relatively unfamiliar with each other, but the students in Class C are almost all people that Karuizawa is not good at dealing with.

Now I understand why she deliberately kept her distance from the others.

It wasn't aloofness, but fear.

Because the blue-haired girl sitting to her right is named Ibuki.

Yes, she's the one who broke into Ichinose Class a few days ago to steal Ichinose's underwear, and then framed Nakano Yuu. Karuizawa didn't encounter this kind of thing at the time, but that doesn't stop her from being bad at dealing with Ibuki.

Meanwhile, Ibuki's group consisted of three genuine gyaru (gal) girls from her class.

In other words, it was just as expected; the fake gyaru met the real gyaru, and the gyaru from Class C seemed to be pointing and whispering about Karuizawa, with the word "Rika" vaguely appearing in their minds.

This event is recorded in the original work.

Karuizawa had a conflict with them at school over queuing, and they held a grudge against her. Then, the gyaru girls in Class C will bully Karuizawa during the upcoming VIP Exam.

As expected, Karuizawa Megumi, just like in the original story, is all bark and no bite. She chickens out when faced with a real hot girl.

You should know that normally when they were in Class D...

If a boy accidentally bumps into her desk, she'll jump up and yell at him.

Sure enough, acting is acting, and acting is acting; you can't take it too seriously. He chickened out when he was around a real hot girl.

So, Karuizawa might be a little scared right now.

"Creak!"

After considering it for a moment, Nakano Yuu moved his chair slightly towards Karuizawa.

Hearing the sound of the chair, Karuizawa instinctively looked towards Nakano Yuu, only to find that he had actually moved the chair over and was sitting so close to him.

"Huh?"

She seemed somewhat surprised.

Because I was genuinely surprised.

He had previously instructed her not to get too close to him, saying that one of the girls in the group for this exam was someone he liked, so she should avoid him to prevent misunderstandings. But now, why did he come here by himself?!

Nakano Yuu's actions were so blatant that almost all the students were watching.

Nakano-kun seemed to ignore it.

"You're one of the prettiest girls in our class, so naturally we have to protect you properly."

"Nakano Yuu said."

"A boy from another class has already started paying attention to you. It would be troublesome if he got tricked into it."

"Oh--"

Karuizawa was now at a loss for words, because this was completely different from what had been agreed upon. Furthermore, she didn't have a cell phone, so she couldn't inquire privately.

She could only improvise, but she also remembered that Nakano Yuu had said there was a girl he liked here.

So for now, I can only maintain a cold and aloof image.

"Sh--"

The boys in Class B looked over and showed a somewhat regretful expression.

One of the boys who was just looking at Karuizawa was this boy who used to be in Class A but is now in Class B; his name is Machida Koji. Although there were some pretty girls in the original Class A, such as Kamuro or the super cute Classmate Sakayanagi.

But he's Sakayanagi Faction, how could he possibly have any dissenting thoughts about his leader?

Kamuro completely ignores everyone, while the pretty Yamamura is very quiet and doesn't seem like someone you'd want to be around. As for the outgoing Morishita Ai, she seems like a weirdo.

Therefore, he felt that a girl like Karuizawa, who was both a glamorous and extremely beautiful, might be more suitable. Since she was in Class D, which was a lower-ranking class, being a student in a higher-ranking class gave him a sense of superiority. For example, he could earn her admiration.

"..."

Ichinose, who was just greeting Nakano-kun, seems to be glancing in this direction now.

But Nakano Yuu didn't say anything.

[Now let's begin the first round of group discussion.]

At that moment, the loudspeakers blared in every room, dutifully informing each group.

However, this is a notification, not an order.

Therefore, no one in the room intended to move.

He simply watched the others calmly.

Clearly, they had all been instructed beforehand to remain calm. Although the students in each class were separated, the class leaders must have considered the risky nature of this exam and made corresponding arrangements.

"Yoshi!"

At that moment, Ichinose Honami, a student who had just taken her place in Class A, pushed back her chair and stood up, smiling gently at everyone.

Her voice was gentle and approachable. "Although the school had given me a heads-up, and I already know most of your names, I think it would be better if we introduced ourselves. After all, some of us might be meeting for the first time."

Ichinose is very approachable; she is a true angel.

She is more real and more charming than Kushida, that pure white lotus.

So, just like Kushida, she also had friends in all four classes.

Even if someone isn't a friend, she will meticulously write down their name.

In her view, calling someone by the wrong name is very impolite.

Most people wouldn't refuse a friendly and approachable young woman.

Therefore, many people's expressions softened immediately.

Unfortunately, there's never a shortage of people who are a bit dim-witted or slow-witted.

"Only now do you think of introducing yourselves? Do you really think you're teammates in the same group? Go ahead and do this silly charade if you want."

The boy wore a disdainful sneer, appearing extremely arrogant and dismissive of everything.

However, in reality, he only succeeded in incurring the hatred of others.

Even if they are from different classes, they are probably thinking the same thing right now.
