Classroom Of The Elite 2nd Year - Full Volume
Chapter 5's

"Ah. I might have found something going on between Ayanokoji-kun and Horikita-san. ”

“Is there anything hidden between them ?"

“Yeah, try to see them well, Yamauchi-kun. Can you see anything? ”

"What?" Yamauchi approached and observed my face very closely. Then, after which, he rushed to Horikita and took a closer look at her face. Ah, very stupid. He's too close.

*pc*

Instantly she hit him in the face with her back hand. It appeared that the loud slap was right about his face and he was acting in pain.

Yamauchi began to jump around rubbing his cheeks, seeing from the sound of the slap he must have felt pain as a result, then he shouted and fell. What was terrible was that Horikita did not even glance at Yamauchi in the slightest or she did not care about his words .

"What, what are you doing?"

“You're too close. You better remember to stay away from my personal space. ”

It was something similar to what happened when Ike held the shoulder of Horikita. I think everyone will feel uncomfortable when his face is too close, and at a very close distance, especially with a boy you don't like.

“Ahahah...ma.sorry Yamauchi-kun. I said some unnecessary things. You okay?"

"You, you're so nice Kushida ...."

Yamauchi held onto Kushida's hand which rubbed her, and she stood up with a flushed face. Ibuki continued to watch the whole story from start to finish and left her a little surprised. He might not see this kind of stupid interaction often in C class.

"What, what did you notice, Kushida?"

"You know? They both rarely laugh ! I mean, I never saw Ayanokoji-kun and Horikita-san smile. ”

Kushida said this unexpectedly, and he was sure I would accept it resignedly. About Horikita. I've seen him smile a few times as it happens to the other party but it's nothing more than an ordinary smile .

“I've never seen Horikita's smiling face. But I used to smile, right? ”

“I've seen your bitter smile, but ... I've never seen you smile from the bottom of your heart

or laugh out loud. Or you just didn't show it to me? "

I feel a little unhappy. Yes, this time my heart was pounding as well. My pulse suddenly ticked up. While we were still on this remote island, a beautiful scent smelled out my nose. I felt embarrassed and took my eyes off.

“It looks like everything is exactly the same. The difference between people who laugh a lot and people who don't. ”

“Uhm. Even if it's true. ” Well, that's not all. There is also the possibility that the environment, in which one was raised would affect this kind of thing.

“Should we try to practice once? How about that? A smile! "

"For now, let's start with the center of this area."Horikita.

“Eh? You mean smile practice ? "

“How long will you be like this ? We had to decide that we needed to find food. ”

Horikita pressed down on Kushida quickly and a strong tone when she rejected him. And soon he gave instructions to spread the people in search.

“Two people should look for and do not act alone. Be careful with that. Let's go Ayanokoujikun. " Called him, I started walking with Horikita.

"b- ... Au ..." Huh huh? I saw Sakura who was following us from behind while bowing her shoulders.

"Let's find some food together, Sakura. " Yamauchi, who called behind Sakura, gave her thumbs up. It seems that gesture is an opportunity for tandem.

"Be careful, Ibuki-san. " Ibuki and Kushida remain in pairs. Ibuki is also anti-social, but there should be no problem with Kushida.

"Horikita, how do you handle a special key card?"

"I checked it on the sixth day of the special exam, yes ... I always take him anywhere. " Saying this, he put his hand in his jacket pocket and let me know it was there.

“When I extend the ownership rights, I will sneak amongst the students arranged by Hirata-kun. Ibuki and the others should not know. ”

Well, I'm not so worried about the circumstances. Since it is the most appropriate thing to do now, I will do it well.

"Can you show it to me?"

"Huh? In here?"

“More convenient here. It would be too suspicious to do so at the campground. "

"... That's right, but what are you gonna do when you see that key card?" I explained the situation to Horikita who gave me a suspicious look.

“To be honest, I kept quiet until now. Because I was with Sakura to make sure later, but I once saw a student have some kind of key card on the first day. ” I told Horikita about Katsuragi who brought the keycard in front of the cave.

“However, I'm not sure if it's really a keycard. I haven't seen that clearly. I wouldn't know if it was a phone card he was carrying, would I? ”

“... Is correct. If you're sure, then it's a great achievement. " Because convinced of the reason, Horikita turned to look at Ibuki and secretly took out the card.

I received and checked the front and back. The back side is an ordinary magnetic card, but as Chabashira-sensei says, the front side has a leader sign. Suzune Horikita's name was carved there. Even when I tried to touch it by hand, I understood it was not something that was easy to peel off.

"okay? Is this the same card as Katsuragikun?”

"No ... Hm. I thought I'd know after seeing it ... But the color is different from the one I remember.”

"It is possible that the key card differs in color depending on the class. "

"Maybe. But there is a lack of evidence to decide. If we make a mistake, we cannot cancel it. ” When I tried to return the key card, I dropped it from my hand to the ground.

At the same time I let my voice panic, Horikita immediately reached out her hand to pick it up. He put a card on his jacket, but because of that sound we naturally garnered attention around him.

"What's going on?" Kushida looked here a little worried. Ibuki.

“No, it's nothing. There were insects and I was surprised. Really." When I saw Horikita apologizing, she glared at me in fear.

"M-sorry ..." Horikita became very angry and took some distance from me.

"Did he dump you?" Yamauchi approached with a smile.

“Listen, Yamauchi. I want to ask for advice so do you want to bring your ears closer? ”

"What is it, is it a consultation for love ?"

“The land around here is full of mud because of the rain, right? I need you to put this mud all over Horikita's hair. Can I ask that? ”

“... Huh huh? If I do that I'll be killed! I'm not gonna do it! ”

Of course, I understand I won't get a deal. However, this was an act that was too unnatural for me to do. Since Yamauchi is usually good at lying and doing pranks, I think he can do this stunt.

[T/N: pranks equals jail]

"You know, even if Horikita was mad at me it didn't look cool to take revenge. "

"Maybe if you do, you'll get a chance to get an email address

from Sakura."

"Whata—-!?"

"How about that? I have it! "

“Huh, Sakura's email address ... Hm. Me, I'll do it. ” A boy who lives for love quickly decides to die for it. This decisiveness is incredible.

“Do you have any ? If you lie I won't do it. ” When I gave the sign, Yamauchi collected a lot of mud close to his hands and turned behind Horikita's back.

 If she was not sick, she might have felt the signs, but Horikita was unable to pay attention to her surroundings now. Kushida and Ibuki, aware of Yamauchi's strange behavior, are watching curiously.

And then, Yamauchi did. With all her strength she covered Horikita's beautiful black hair with mud using both her hands. He made his entire body filled with mud. He doesn't have to overdo it, but yeah ...

“Ahaha! Horikita, you're full of mud!It's funny!" Like a nosy young man, Yamauchi laughed as he flicked his finger.

As if she could not understand the situation for a moment, Horikita did not move for a while. However, when he understood it, he got up and without words he grabbed Yamauchi's hand which pointed towards him. In a moment of confusion, Horikita threw Yamauchi.

We returned to the camp before noon with no results. Although the sun was covered, it was quite stinging to be inside the forest during mid-summer. Even Horikita, who usually did not sweat, was slightly wet.

“You'd better wash yourself quickly, Horikitasan. You're quite wet .. ”

"That's true ... This situation really sucks. " After her hair and clothes were covered in mud, Horikita

upset because I was unhappy. No exception to his poor physical condition.

“I think I hate you for a lifetime. Prepare yourself. " At the instant Yamauchi hid behind my back, trembling in fear.

“I, I've done it. Promise me, keep your promise! ”.

“It's okay. I'll tell you after the exam." It might be bad for Sakura, but Yamauchi needs compensation for her heroic actions.

"Oh no, it seems impossible to use the bathroom ..." The girls who had already returned from the search gathered in front of the bathroom waiting for their turn.

Ironically, Karuizawa and two other girls from her group stand in line. Even if Horikita and the others stood in line now, it would be a long wait. But due to his various reasons and madness, he did not think of giving up on Karuizawa who showed hostility towards Horikita. It seems hard to cut there.

“How about using the river? It's easy, right? ”

“... Is correct. It seems like there is no other choice. ”

“I can swim too. Will you come with us, Ibuki-san? You're sweating enough. If we get

approval then class C can also use river.” Using a place without permission is the rule and is unquestionable.

"I'll miss it. I'll relax while waiting for the bathroom because I don't like swimming.”

"Well, well I am also ..."

Taking advantage of that, Sakura refuses as well for not wanting to expose her swimsuit at the sight of the boys. Horikita turned her back after seeing the bathroom once more.

Bathrooms with hot springs are the best, but regardless of the overcast weather it is quite humid. He did not have the confidence to continue waiting with his bad condition. I was heading to the front of the tent together with Yamauchi .

“I'll rest in the tent for a while. It hurt when I was hit ... ”

It looked like Yamauchi was crying as he entered the tent while walking with a stagger. Even though he was a perfect fit, he actually made a risky request ...

Bersambug.........
