Classroom of the Elite, Starting with a Zero, I'm Just Going to Lay Flat Since I Know the Plot

No.

"Aren't you and Sakayanagi..." Kamuro was already confused.

"Ex-girlfriend." Nakano Yuu said. "In other words, we broke up. Do you think a girl would treat her ex-boyfriend well after a breakup?"

"And this person happens to be Sakayanagi Arisu." Nakano Yuu added.

"..." Kamuro.

Although she hadn't interacted with Sakayanagi much yet, Kamuro could already imagine the scenario.

If they had dated and broken up, and especially if the ex-boyfriend in front of her had done something to wrong Sakayanagi, then it was certain that Sakayanagi would want revenge.

So, did this guy know all this, and that's why he came to buy some insurance?

"That's about the gist of it." Nakano Yuu said. "And you can sign the IOU now."

"I will delete the video." Nakano Yuu said.

"..." Kamuro. Kamuro glanced at him. She seemed to be hesitating.

But after considering it for about two minutes, she chose to fill out the IOU.

[Today, Kamuro Masumi, student ID ST121040045, borrowed 500,000 private points from Nakano Yuu of Class D, first year.

Debtor: Kamuro Masumi.]

"Your handwriting is decent, but your grades are truly poor. If you don't want to run into trouble, I suggest you study more." Nakano Yuu said.

"..." Kamuro.

Kamuro began to have a strange feeling.

If she had initially thought that Nakano Yuu was acting on Sakayanagi's orders to approach her and get a hold on her.

But.

Her academic issues were something she hadn't told anyone in her class, and the teachers hadn't published the test scores either, so Sakayanagi shouldn't know.

She had also confirmed that there were no students from her previous middle school in her class, so how did he know this information about her?

She asked exactly that.

"How do you know these things about me?"

"That's a secret. Everyone has some secrets, or quirks, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Nakano Yuu said.

"Then what is your quirk..." Kamuro asked, as if following his train of thought casually.

"Of course, I can't tell you." Nakano Yuu said, "And the recording is here, look, deleted. Now you can work with peace of mind."

Nakano Yuu stood up. "Do you want to check?"

"..." Kamuro.

But Kamuro Masumi had no interest.

Because, even if he didn't delete the video, she still had a 500,000-point IOU in his hands, so he wouldn't lose either way.

So, why did she have to steal? Why did she have to steal?

Kamuro began to want to kick her habit.

PS: Brothers, I'm completely tapped out, you know what I'm trying to say.

PS: Please give me data, please give me data, please give me data, please give me data. Of course, hold off on the blades for now, give them to me tomorrow. Ying ying ying.

Chapter 019: Kushida-san, why are you here!

Perhaps because she had encountered something upsetting, Kamuro chose to leave after finishing her warm water.

Her face was cold as she left.

It could be said that today was the unluckiest day since she enrolled over a month ago.

Not only was she caught with a handle against her, but even though Nakano Yuu had deleted the video, she was still saddled with a massive debt of 500,000 points, and if she didn't pay it back, she would have to become his mole.

It was, to put it mildly, terrible.

Furthermore, according to him, there was no need for them to add each other as friends, because if Sakayanagi were to interact with her, she would check her phone, and if they were friends, it would only make Sakayanagi suspicious.

But.

Was Sakayanagi really the type of person who would check other people's phones, or even use them?

This struck Kamuro as completely absurd.

And this guy's suggestion was also outrageous; since that was the case, their communication would be handled through the school's mailboxes.

She knew about those; in a corner of the dormitory's first-floor lounge, there were mailboxes labeled with students' names, and they all had locks, so only the owner could check them.

But the mailbox he told her to use wasn't labeled with his name, Nakano Yuu, but rather [Horikita Suzune].

It was truly incomprehensible; just how cautious could he be?

And if this Horikita Suzune's mailbox could be used by him, did that mean she was another poor soul being played in the palm of his hand, just like her?

With these complex emotions of disappointment, resentment, dissatisfaction, frustration, and curiosity, Kamuro quickly left the area.

"Check, please." With the main target having left, Nakano Yuu saw no reason to linger.

"That will be 800 private points." The waiter arrived promptly. Her expression was less than pleasant, and from the look in her eyes, Nakano quickly identified the word "scumbag" written all over it.

Hardly.

He was just bringing a different girl here for coffee each day; wasn't he contributing to their shop's revenue?

With that thought in mind.

Nakano Yuu suddenly looked behind him to find a cute girl with short blonde hair, a delicate face, and a smile like a little angel.

It was Kushida Kikyou.

"Hehe, Nakano-kun." She greeted him.

Right.

Bringing Horikita-san yesterday and Kamuro-san today—it was only natural for people to think there was something wrong with him.

And now that Kamuro-san had left, Kushida-san had seamlessly taken her place.

Anyone would think he was a hopeless scumbag.

"..." Nakano Yuu.

Nakano-kun looked at Kushida Kikyou.

Although he had been watching her in the classroom all day, her appearance here now felt a bit specific.

For instance.

How long had she been here? To be precise, how long had she been watching?

Kushida-san.

"Kushida-san, you're here too."

Deciding never to come to this shop again, Nakano-kun completely cast aside the waiter's judgment and focused his attention on Kushida-san.

"Yes. Even though I told you where Kamuro-san was, I was still a bit worried about how things would turn out, since Kamuro-san doesn't really seem like the type to accept a confession," Kushida-san said with a hint of concern in her voice.

In other words, she had actually believed Nakano Yuu's nonsense, thinking he was looking for Kamuro to confess his feelings.

"Yesterday, I asked Horikita for help, asking her what I should keep in mind when confessing to a girl," Nakano Yuu continued his charade.

"But the confession just now failed," Nakano Yuu said, shaking his head. "Maybe it was too sudden."

"I see..." Kushida-san nodded in understanding.

Or rather, it would be strange if a greenhorn rushing in to confess wasn't rejected.

"Eh?"

The waiter, who had just picked up the cups and was about to leave, froze.

At this moment, the waiter gave Nakano Yuu an apologetic look. She realized her attitude just now had been too harsh. She had misjudged him.

It made sense, really.

This boy looked like a freshman, so it was perfectly normal for him to be unfamiliar with romance and need the assistance of other girls, or even to be treating this with such sincerity.

So he wasn't a guy playing the field, or someone who could seamlessly transition between dates.

"Since you're already here, would you like to have a cup of coffee together?" Nakano-kun suggested. "The coffee here is actually quite good."

"About that..." Kushida-san seemed a bit hesitant.

And as everyone knew, students in Class D were penniless.

"It's fine, it's my treat," Nakano Yuu said.

"Well, thank you for the trouble," Kushida-san said, acting surprisingly shy as she sat down across from Nakano Yuu.

?

Wait, sister, are you really going to drink it?

A cup of coffee for 800 points wasn't a burden for Nakano-kun.

But wasn't Kushida-san everyone's little angel? Would she really let a boy spend money on her?

Nakano Yuu felt something was off.

As he thought about this.

"But, the points were borrowed from Horikita-san, so is it really..." Kushida-san seemed to hesitate.

Fine.

Nakano Yuu understood. Kushida-san couldn't let go of the hurdle that was Horikita Suzune. She tried to build a relationship with her every day but failed, which was frustrating, yet she couldn't do nothing, so resentment naturally built up inside her.

So, when she heard this morning that 10,000 points had been deposited into Nakano Yuu's account, and Nakano-kun had mentioned at the time that they were borrowed from Horikita-san.

So, Kushida, you actually just want to spend Horikita Suzune's money, don't you?

However.

The fact that Kushida appeared here was still something worth paying attention to.

Even though she appeared "seamlessly" right after Kamuro left, and likely didn't let Kamuro see her, the extent of what she actually witnessed remains a point of concern.

Furthermore, although Nakano Yuu spoke words of confession to Kamuro, they were entirely fake; if Kushida were to leak this information, it might cause Sakayanagi to become vigilant.

Therefore, he had to make sure she didn't go around talking nonsense.

"That's fine, I'll pay Horikita back myself," Nakano Yuu said.

"Hmm, wouldn't that be a bit too much? Coffee is quite expensive, after all," Kushida said modestly.

"Then warm water is fine too. That's what I ordered for myself just now," Nakano Yuu said. "I can order a coffee for you."

"..." Kushida.

"Warm water... is fine too," Kushida said, forcing a smile.

Seeing the expression on Kushida's face start to become strained, Nakano-kun finally felt a sense of relief.

With that, Nakano-kun got to the main point.

"Why did you come here, Kushida-san? Or to be more precise, how did you find me?"

ps: Morning, brothers.

Chapter 020: Dangerous Person, Who Are You Talking About?

Actually, the moment Kushida appeared, she had already revealed that she was here because she was worried about Nakano-kun's "confession progress."

She certainly seems like a very enthusiastic girl.

As for how she found him here and managed to track him down, she likely used the GPS function.

Just as Nakano-kun thought about how he could GPS her, she was equally capable of quickly GPSing him.

However, she has probably used this method to search for many students and keep track of their whereabouts. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to pull off those "chance encounters" or "hang out together" moments.
