Morning classes ended.
Just as class finished, Suzune Horikita, unable to hold back, chased directly after Sae Chabashira into her office.
The other students remained immersed in their wailing over the fact that there wouldn't be any personal points in the coming months.
The vast majority had thought there might be another hundred thousand personal points this month, leading them to spend almost all their points before the month ended.
A few who had saved some room and were slightly more restrained couldn't escape either.
For example, Kikyo Kushida, who wanted to be good friends with everyone and create wonderful memories together, was already being forced to create some not-so-wonderful memories.
Quite a few girls who considered themselves close to Kikyo Kushida had begun trying to borrow points from her.
'It looks like Kikyo-san is going to have to go to the seaside to vent again tonight.'
Looking at Kikyo Kushida, whose face was filled with a troubled expression, Natsuki Subaru stood up with a look of indifference and headed toward the cafeteria.
Meanwhile, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, who similarly had no particular thoughts on the matter, glanced at the surrounding environment and at Haruki Yamauchi and the others, who looked terrible.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to quickly follow in Natsuki Subaru's footsteps.
Having learned sufficiently.
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was very certain that there was a high probability his not-yet-completely-severed "good friends" would come to borrow money from him. Kikyo Kushida's situation had already set a good example for him.
Moreover, compared to Suzune Horikita, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji was actually more curious about Natsuki Subaru.
'Natsuki Subaru sees everything very thoroughly.'
'If I could learn basic common sense and cognition from Natsuki Subaru...'
The reason he hadn't had deep contact before was entirely because he felt Natsuki Subaru was very dangerous.
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji came to school here for a peaceful daily life. If he interacted with a very dangerous person like Natsuki Subaru, wouldn't that violate his core purpose?
However, after a month of direct contact and indirect observation, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji believed that although Natsuki Subaru still gave him a very dangerous feeling, he wasn't unapproachable.
Even though he was uninterested in almost everything, he possessed ample patience.
"Aren't you going to follow Horikita-san and take a look, Ayanokoji-kun?"
Seeing Kiyotaka Ayanokoji catching up, Natsuki Subaru glanced at him and said with a smile, "Maybe if you follow Horikita-san, you'll be able to find out the reason for being assigned to Class D."
"To be honest, I'm not interested in why I was assigned to Year 1, Class D."
Hearing Natsuki Subaru's words, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji shook his head gently.
Class A, B, C, or D didn't matter at all. What mattered was whether life could be spent peacefully, and for the sake of that peaceful life right now, how to fully recognize what constitutes common sense and what is truly ordinary.
"Last month, I learned a lot from Horikita-san."
"However, if possible, I actually want to ask you for advice, Natsuki-kun."
Walking together with Natsuki Subaru on the way to the cafeteria, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji said with a slightly serious tone, "Why were you able to know my thoughts right away back then, Natsuki-kun?"
"If it was just about the quiz, the quiz hadn't even started at that time."
Besides that, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji actually realized one more point.
Although becoming friends with Haruki Yamauchi and the others seemed like a conspicuous thing, if one considered that the people around were similar, and he participated in similar topics with Haruki Yamauchi and the others...
Then he shouldn't have stood out that much.
Haruki Yamauchi should have been the most conspicuous one.
"Ayanokoji-kun, didn't I tell you before?"
"The quiz score itself is just a result, and the result itself isn't actually important."
Hearing Kiyotaka Ayanokoji's confusion, Natsuki Subaru didn't stop walking. Instead, he answered unhurriedly, "I didn't see through your thoughts. I just saw the flaws you revealed because you were pursuing 'ordinary' too much."
"Your definition of ordinary is too shallow."
To this, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji nodded silently.
Having roughly understood the true definition of ordinary and known basic common sense, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji knew very clearly how naive his previous thoughts were.
His definition of ordinary was indeed too narrow.
The ordinary that Kiyotaka Ayanokoji truly wanted was not the same as the ordinary of normal people. Ordinarily excellent, ordinarily aloof, ordinarily keeping to oneself—these could also be considered ordinary.
This made Kiyotaka Ayanokoji think of himself.
In a situation where he himself didn't care about anything, wasn't that also a kind of un-ordinary?
Just like that, pondering the word "ordinary," Kiyotaka Ayanokoji followed Natsuki Subaru to the cafeteria, and then watched as Natsuki Subaru purchased a luxurious set meal without any scruples.
As for Kiyotaka Ayanokoji himself, he ordered a very ordinary two-hundred-yen regular set meal, and at the same time, couldn't help but voice his question.
"Everyone doesn't have many personal points now."
"If you continue spending like this, won't you be targeted, Natsuki-kun?"
Looking at the luxury meal in Natsuki Subaru's hands, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji said, "Just like Kushida-san?"
"So what if I'm targeted?"
"Kikyo-san has too many friends. Kikyo-san, who wants to create wonderful memories with everyone, finds it inconvenient to refuse."
Natsuki Subaru said with a smile, "But I am different."
"I don't have that many friends. Even if it's a so-called 'friend', I will refuse unreasonable requests without hesitation."
It was just a little conspicuous, that's all.
Before being transported, as the Purge King, Natsuki Subaru's personal wealth could be said to be endless. Was that conspicuous enough?
The construction materials of Pandemonium were comparable to gold in modern society, or even more rare and expensive. Ordinary people didn't even have the qualification to touch them, yet Natsuki Subaru could even use them to build a palace.
From beginning to end, Natsuki Subaru followed one logic: doing things his own way.
If he wanted to do it, he did it.
Hearing Natsuki Subaru's answer, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji nodded again, feeling that he had learned another point.
'So, friends' requests can be refused?'
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji suddenly realized.
When interacting with Haruki Yamauchi and the others before, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, considering their status as friends, had felt compelled to do many things he didn't really want to do.
For example, discussing the breast sizes of the girls around them earlier.
And some other unreasonable requests.
Gradually drawing a line with Haruki Yamauchi and the others, Kiyotaka Ayanokoji also considered that things were becoming more and more troublesome.
