"Hashimoto, can I consider you to be provoking me?"
Kakeru Ryūen raised an eyebrow, looking displeased at Masayoshi Hashimoto, who was inexplicably blocking his way.
Before Masayoshi Hashimoto could speak, Ishizaki, who was following Kakeru Ryūen and already eager to fight, stepped forward and approached Masayoshi Hashimoto.
Albert Yamada also appeared behind Masayoshi Hashimoto, cutting off his escape route.
"Hashimoto-kun, you can say your last words now." It's not easy to find a punching bag from another class that is willingly delivered to you, so Kakeru Ryūen kindly reminded Masayoshi Hashimoto.
There was no sign of panic on Masayoshi Hashimoto's face; he came with a mission today.
When two armies clash, they do not kill the envoy.
If Kakeru Ryūen were to hit him here, it would be breaking the rules.
"Ryūen-kun, it was the Princess who asked me to find you." Masayoshi Hashimoto said to Kakeru Ryūen with a smile.
Masayoshi Hashimoto had called Arisu Sakayanagi "the Princess" in the swimming pool before, so Kakeru Ryūen naturally knew who the Princess he was referring to was.
The leader of Class B's radical faction, what could she want with him...
"Ishizaki, stop." Kakeru Ryūen stopped Ishizaki, who was about to reach Masayoshi Hashimoto, and waited for Masayoshi Hashimoto's next words.
"The Princess asked me to tell you that the White Cat appeared in Class B today, and her name is Masumi Kamuro." Without any intention of falsifying, Masayoshi Hashimoto relayed Arisu Sakayanagi's words to Kakeru Ryūen verbatim.
"Heh heh, do it, Ishizaki." Kakeru Ryūen sneered, gave the command to Ishizaki, and turned to leave.
The White Cat appeared in her class, and she would tell other classes so openly? Arisu Sakayanagi must be crazy.
Ryūen Kakeru did not believe a single word of the information Masayoshi Hashimoto provided.
Dodging the punch that Ishizaki threw at him, Masayoshi Hashimoto roared: "Wait, Ryūen Kakeru, the Princess really said that."
Masayoshi Hashimoto was also unsure of the authenticity of the message, but this was the task Arisu Sakayanagi gave him, and he had to complete it no matter what.
"Are you saying that the people in your Class B are idiots? The White Cat is in their class, and they don't immediately reveal it, but instead send you, a traitor, to leak it to other classes?"
"How ridiculous."
Stopping his steps, Ryūen Kakeru looked at Masayoshi Hashimoto as if he were looking at a clown, his eyes full of contempt.
Seeing that she couldn't find the White Cat, Arisu Sakayanagi simply had Masayoshi Hashimoto transmit false information, trying to make the other three classes believe her lie.
When all three classes fail to identify the White Cat and are eliminated, Class B, the only class that hasn't made an accusation, will win without a fight.
Ryūen Kakeru had also thought of this kind of underhanded method, but he didn't expect Class B to implement it so quickly.
"Masumi Kamuro being the White Cat is absolutely true. As for why... it's because the Princess wants her voice to be the only one in Class B."
Masayoshi Hashimoto tried hard to show an innocent smile, hoping to increase his credibility, even if just by a little, in front of Ryūen Kakeru.
But his smile just happened to hit Ryūen Kakeru's limit.
Ryūen Kakeru frowned and said to Yamada, who was behind Masayoshi Hashimoto: "Yamada, drag this guy into the alley. I'll do it myself."
He was originally going to let Masayoshi Hashimoto go, considering his connection to Arisu, Chairman Sakayanagi's daughter.
But how dare this guy show that kind of smile...
Masayoshi Hashimoto's smile reminded Ryūen Kakeru of Katsuragi Ren's mocking smile in the conference room.
Truly an unpleasant memory...
...
In a cafe,
Suzune Horikita took advantage of Kōenji Rokusuke's date to go to the restroom and approached him: "Kōenji-kun, what is your identity today?"
Four days of the special exam have passed.
If no one in Class D is lying, then no student in Class D has been the White Cat in these four days, which is a very unreasonable situation.
And Kōenji Rokusuke, the only person in Class D who hasn't revealed his identity, is the most likely White Cat who is hiding himself.
In order to pursue the truth, Suzune Horikita used the weekend to "coincidentally" run into Kōenji Rokusuke to ask him.
"Arrogant girl, are you ordering me?" Kōenji Rokusuke picked up his glass, took a sip, and raised an eyebrow.
If this were in the classroom, Kōenji Rokusuke wouldn't even bother to respond to Suzune Horikita's question.
But for an arrogant weirdo like Suzune Horikita to come to him privately just to get an answer was the reason Kōenji Rokusuke was willing to respond to Suzune Horikita.
On the first day of enrollment, Kōenji Rokusuke noticed the arrogance etched into Suzune Horikita's bones.
But only arrogance...
Kōenji Rokusuke and Katsuragi Ren also have arrogance etched into their bones, but the arrogance of the two of them is based on absolute strength.
Kōenji Rokusuke only felt pity for Suzune Horikita's arrogance.
Pity for Suzune Horikita, the ignorant one.
Without the former condescending attitude, Suzune Horikita said words she never thought she would say: "This is a request."
Having gone through many things, Suzune Horikita has also grown.
"I am not the White Cat. My identity has not been the White Cat for a single day these past few days. I know who the White Cat is, but the information about who the White Cat is... girl, you can't afford to buy it."
Kōenji Rokusuke acknowledged Suzune Horikita's change, blatantly stating his identity and even giving Suzune Horikita a shocking piece of information as a bonus.
Knowing that Kōenji Rokusuke knew who the White Cat was, Suzune Horikita widened her eyes in disbelief.
Suzune Horikita didn't understand why Kōenji Rokusuke knew the information but was withholding it. Her tone was very puzzled: "Why? Kōenji-kun, don't you want to be promoted to Class A?"
No longer answering Suzune Horikita's question, Kōenji Rokusuke ordered her to leave: "Arrogant girl, you should leave."
This version of Suzune Horikita was very ugly in Kōenji Rokusuke's eyes, and he was no longer interested in talking to Suzune Horikita.
The upperclassman, who had finished washing up, walked over at this moment: "Rokusuke-kun, who is this?"
"Just a classmate." Kōenji Rokusuke pulled out a tissue, gently wiped the upperclassman's fingers, and no longer paid attention to Suzune Horikita on the side.

The blog of "Shizuku," a well-known popular idol, was updated again, and many fans who followed Shizuku gathered below.
This time, Shizuku's update only had one sentence and one picture.
The first sight brings joy, and the long companionship still thrills~
The background of the picture was the library. The young man sitting cross-legged on the floor was tightly embracing the girl in his arms. Strands of hair hung down, covering most of the girl's face in his arms, but their kiss was clearly visible through the gaps in the hair.
The information revealed by this post and picture caused an uproar in the comment section below.
Fan A: ??? Which wretched soul is this? Shizuku should belong to me!
Fan B: The one above, keep your thoughts to yourself. Yours? Why? Because you only know how to play games, watch anime, and eat junk food at home?
Fan C: Shizuku, you have disappointed us too much. I never want to be your fan again in this life.
For a popular idol who relies on fans for a living, this kind of romance scandal is undoubtedly proof of a collapse.
These fans who had fantasies about Shizuku expressed that if Shizuku did not give them an explanation, they would all unfollow.
But no matter how much they clamored below, Shizuku did not reply to a single comment.
A girl with her light peach-colored hair tied into a bun poked her dazed friend with her finger: "Yumiko, what are you thinking about that you are so engrossed?"
Turning off Shizuku's blog on her phone, the girl called Yumiko, who had her hair in a bun, flicked her friend's bun.
"Nothing, Yui, just a fashion blogger I really like suddenly made a public announcement."
