At this moment, he was really unwilling.

"Fanbo, you should think about it."

Nanyun really didn't want to give up, so he continued to persuade: "I won't abandon anyone—this is your style, right? You want to avoid victims in your class the most, right? Can you just watch your partner drop out? There won't be any Sorry about the medicine."

"...Thank you for your concern, but I have already made up my mind."

Even through the phone, when Ichinose said those words, Ichinose smiled quietly by herself.

That's right, as the chairman of the committee, you must protect everyone.

Rather, it should have been done in the first place.

"Fanbo, don't you...don't want to associate with me?" Nanyun tentatively asked this question.

"Uh..." Ichinose was silent for a while, and then asked: "Senior Nagumo, I actually want to ask you too... Do you like me, so you put forward this condition?"

"What?" Nagumo seemed unable to understand the question.

"That, I mean... I think the so-called relationship should be based on mutual liking..."

"If I hated you, I wouldn't have made such a condition."

Nagumo replied without hesitation.

However, Ichinose was still a little confused: "If you just don't hate me, it doesn't seem to mean you like me... right?"

"Uh... well, okay."

Hearing these words, Nagumo couldn't help laughing, and at the same time his mood improved a lot.

In his opinion, Ichinose's refusal was probably just out of anxiety, so as long as he made it clear, there would be no problem.

So he said without hesitation: "Since that's the case, Fanbo, then I'll tell you seriously, I really like you."

"Huh?! Ah, that, that..."

On the other end of the phone, Ichinose's voice suddenly became panicked.

Just as Nagumo was enjoying the innocent girl's reaction, he heard the other party say: "Well, Senior Nayun, thank you very much for liking me. Personally, I am really flattered."

"……Um?"

As he listened, the smile on Nagumo's face gradually froze.

Why does it always feel wrong?

"However, I don't have any plans to associate with people at the moment. I want to put my class and studies first... And people like me are not good enough for Senior Nagumo. I believe you can find someone better."

"Ah... is that right, I'm sorry to make you difficult."

As the student council president's last bit of reserve, Nagumo suppressed the urge to roar.

Why would he be rejected for being so good!

So he didn't intend to confess, did he? !

"I'm sorry, Senior Nagumo, I failed your kindness."

"It's ok……"

"Well, let's do this first, seniors, please rest early, good night."

After hanging up the phone, Ichinose let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally... She finally conveyed her inner thoughts to Senior Nagumo.

As long as it's clear, it's fine.

Although often confessed, Ichinose has never had any experience in love.

Even so, she knew it was a strange thing to do with someone in this way.

Deep down, she thought it was wrong.

If two people do not like each other and get along like this, it is really meaningless.

It doesn't make sense if only one party has that feeling.

However, Ichinose forcefully swallowed the words that should have been rejected on the spot.

That's when the mood of saving a buddy takes over.

If you just need to be patient, then you should accept Nagumo's conditions.

Even so, Ichinose's heart would be pulled hard every time before making up her mind.

She had a hunch that if she agreed to this condition... she would no longer be herself.

Then, what Sakayanagi said today made her completely understand.

Although the words are ugly, there is no way to refute them.

The most important thing is... If you use this wrong way to avoid the suffering you should face, you will have to pay the corresponding price sooner or later.

Ichinose saw this from it.

She could even imagine that if she really agreed, then Sakayanagi would probably use this information to attack Class A in the future... At that time, not only would it cause trouble for the class and Nagumo, but the commotion would probably be even bigger than last time.

So even if she put aside the point of 'not having romantic feelings for Senior Nagumo', she also realized that she shouldn't have considered it from the very beginning.

Of course, it is not okay to lose a partner, but the price to pay for this is not only to associate with Nagumo, but it may even lead to the collapse of the class.

In that case, I am afraid that the gain outweighs the loss.

"Ahaha, when the time comes... I will definitely hide in the room again."

Laughing self-mockingly, Ichinose leaned against the wall, her body curled up into a ball, her head buried deep between her legs.

It was the same scene as in middle school.

However, she quickly raised her head again.

"No... I have to cheer up."

Ichinose said as she patted her cheek hard.

"I have made up my mind early tomorrow... Yes, it's not too late, just change the direction a little bit."

In any case, protecting her companions was her priority above all else.

Now that socializing with Nagumo may not be able to protect everyone, we can only use other methods.

That is... voluntary dropout.

But it is not easy to do this, and Ichinose also knows that no matter how much she appeals, it is probably difficult to persuade them to vote for herself.

Everyone in Class A is a kind person, and no one will sacrifice their friends in order not to be expelled from school.

It's just that this role must be filled by someone...

Ichinose thought over and over again, but in the end she could only think of a way to 'deceive everyone'.

That is when the exam tomorrow, pretending to have collected 2000 million, and then asking everyone to focus on her, and explaining that he will use the points to cancel the withdrawal.

Although there is a risk of being exposed, Ichinose believes that she is very trusted by the people in the class, and it is estimated that no one will deliberately doubt her... Sigh.

Is this the only way to live up to everyone's trust until the end?

Ichinose smiled wryly from the bottom of her heart, but she didn't intend to stop.

If someone has to be sacrificed, let her do it.

Even if it's by deception...

Moreover, similar things have already been done.

Ichinose couldn't help but recall that in July, she decided to help Class D on her own initiative, but not only was she unable to help, she also caused the class to lose 200 million due to her own incompetence, and even concealed it from everyone too much .

Thinking about it this way, they are now short of 200 million, so if there is no such thing...

Maybe... this dropout is a punishment for her being late.

"Ahaha, I really am a bad boy."

Although there was still a wry smile on his face, Ichinose's thoughts became clear.

The class is in trouble like this, and it's all because of my own fault for losing those 200 million points.

That being the case, isn't it a matter of course to take responsibility?

"Really..." Ichinose's mood became more and more depressed, "It's a shame that I thought it was self-sacrifice... Actually, it deserves it at all."

Sure enough, I should drop out of school.

It's Mom's side... I hope I don't get too angry.

Fortunately, it hasn't developed to the stage of compensated dating, at least it didn't embarrass my mother.

"... No, I was a thief... Now I'm going to be expelled from school... I can only go to work."

Although it is definitely difficult to find a job with only a high school diploma, convenience stores and the like should be fine.

"Alas... Anyway, I was a useless child..."

Just as Ichinose was feeling sorry for herself, the doorbell suddenly rang.

...Who would it be at this time?

Even though she really didn't want to pay attention to it, she couldn't leave him there or pretend she wasn't there, so she got out of bed and ran to open the door.

"Good evening, Ichinose-san."

"Sorry, I interrupted you too."

"Huh? Kushida-san, and Matsushita-san?"

Seeing the two people standing in front of the door, Ichinose was very puzzled.

Why did they suddenly come to visit?

Although it's not an unknown relationship, it's too sudden like this.

"Ichinose-san, I'm really sorry." Kushida clasped his hands together and said apologetically, "I came to visit you without saying hello in advance, but I never read the messages I sent you, so I directly I found it."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Since I had been thinking about something just now, Ichinose didn't notice the flashing reminder light on the phone.

She quickly explained: "I'm sorry, the problem is mainly on my side. I just... was inconvenient. I didn't notice Kushida-san's news. It's all my fault."

"Don't say that, it's no big deal."

"Then...then please come in first!"

Ichinose said and let the two into the room.

After serving refreshments, she couldn't help asking: "What is the matter that you two came to see me this time?"

"Actually, it's about this exam."

Kushida collected herself and began to explain the purpose of this visit.

"Ichinose-san, if I'm not mistaken, Class A is still 2000 million points away from 200 million, right?"

"Huh? How did Kushida-san know?"

Ichinose was taken aback for a moment, then smiled embarrassedly.

"Ahaha, probably the children in our class ran to trouble you. I'm really sorry. I have repeatedly told them not to trouble the students in other classes."

The predicament faced by all classes in this exam is the same.

Class A is not eligible to ask other classes in the same grade to lend a helping hand.

After all, we are all competitors.

However, Kushida smiled and shook his head: "You misunderstood, everyone in class A didn't look for me, after all, this exam... right?"

"Then why are you...?"

"It was Mr. Hikigu who told me."

"So it's... eh?!"

The sudden appearance of this unexpected name almost made Ichinose jump up in fright.

"Wait, please wait! Why would Mr. Bikigu...?!"
