There is always something that I carry with me regardless of the time, but yesterday, I put it below my bed because we would be having P.E, so I didn't want to risk the chance of losing it somehow.

Yet, I never expected this event to happen.

"Hey, I asked you a question. Answer me, right now. What is this?"

The following situation implies that King George will be out for the rest of the week. But, for what reason, exactly?

"It's not like I don't know what I'm holding right now, but I just have to make sure that you do."

For intruding the girls' dorm, we have yet to receive our supposed consequence for it. Honestly, it wasn't just that. This was a pure mess. In theory, we would have to cook for ourselves, so it's already going to be a disaster when it comes to that.

Not only that but, in addition to that, soon, we would have a special exam. I would've liked to had a conversation with Yulia but she refused to be cooperative.

I'm also not with patience for her bullshit. If she doesn't cooperate then I won't give a fuck anymore.

Nevertheless, that wasn't, surprisingly enough, the worst part about my ordeal of problems.

"Does it really matter what it is?"

"Of course it does! The King has the right to know everything and knowledge is just another one of his birthrights!"

Right now, Kawahara was playing games with a PS4 remote. I'm assuming that Kawahara is playing games on a PS4, which just happens to be Rayazaki's.

On second thought, why didn't Rayazaki show rage and fury over the fact that Kawahara stole his PS4? Are you seriously telling me that some girl is more important than a PS4? It doesn't make any sense.

Why do people think like that? Is a girl that you spent some hours with suddenly more important than the PS4 that you spent days, no, weeks if not more? That's illogical.

"Why are you so into this act? I don't get it. Are you delusional or just pretending to be delusional?"

I'm very much aware that this might trigger Kawahara on a certain level and that he might engage in a physical combat contest with me straight up.

"How nice. I'm actually in a good mood today! Normally, I would show no mercy to those words, but today is a different day! It's King's day!"

Yep, delusional.

But, that's fine.

"And so, I will ask you this, once more, plebian. Should you not answer, I, the King, will grandly execute you right here and now!"

In other words, if I didn't answer Kawahara's question, then he would execute me right here. Of course, it's obvious what he means by execution.

He's referring to killing me.

"Right. That's an object wrapped up in a bandage."

"I know that! What I'm asking is, are you aware of what's underneath?"

"Yeah, I am."

"Then, you should know what it is, right? Tell me."

"...I can't."

I really can't.

"Hey. Are you fucking with me right now? I'm serious about what I just said. I will fucking execute you."

Even though Kawahara said such words, he couldn't stop playing PS4. By the way, King George's TV is gigantic as hell. It's no wonder that someone would be interested in his room.

Pure tyranny, if you ask me. We get a simple room yet King George has this palace just for him.

What's next? A personal maid?

"I won't tell you. Not even if you kill me."

"Why though? You do realize that I've taken a look at it, right? And that it doesn't matter whether you hide the truth or not, I'm still someone who knows what you are hiding."

Truly, Kawahara right now was the first person to know what I was hiding.

I couldn't blame anyone but myself for making such a careless mistake.

"So, are you going to tell the whole class about it?"

"Maybe. It does seem like it would be a fun topic. Hey, can you imagine the look on their faces when I reveal this to them? Hahaha, I'm thinking of bringing this tomorrow and pretend to apologize to Akimiyashika for that slap. But then, here's the plot twist, instead of giving her an apology I'll give her this, hahaha!!------ Woah, those are some nice eyes! Did I hit a nerve or something?"

"Don't do that."

"And why not? You surely don't think that I'm afraid of you just because you're looking at me like you want to kill me, right?"

"I'll take you down with me, bastard."

"Oh!? Is that so, then--- No, wait. I'm curious now. I swear, I would usually just kill you right now, but I happen to be highly curious about something. This. What happened exactly? Also, how do you even have this? What did you do?"

Surprisingly, well--- It's not surprising, but Kawahara seems to have a childlike wonder. It's been more than once that Kawahara has held himself back. Instead of purely relying on his physical tendencies, he decides to seek out the truth. A curious textbook person.

"I can't tell you anything. Don't be such a selfish person, dude. You wouldn't tell me what you did too, right?"

It's common sense to never trade information as long as you don't receive equal or higher information in return.

"Of course I won't. But you can. It doesn't have to be this way. Hey, look, let's make a deal. If you tell me, then I won't reveal to the whole class about this."

I hate how he didn't include in his deal that he would return my belonging.

Therefore---

"No. I won't tell you. Also, why didn't you include in that deal of yours that you would return it?"

"Ah, that? That's because I want to keep this. From the looks of it, you treasure this, for whatever reason. Your eyes don't lie you know? There must be something to it. That amount of rage was not normal. An average person would immediately quake."

He's not lying, but it's impressive nonetheless. According to my intuition, engaging in a physical battle with Kawahara would be a mistake. Unlike Hyunda, I sincerely don't think that my stance is completely incorrect, but Hyunda is right about something. The one I'm dealing with, Kawahara, is a hard opponent if my stance is a physical one.

"So you want to keep that just because, according to you, I treasure it?"

"That's right. I believe that you do. And therefore, this is mine now."

Well, let's leave that aside for now...

"Kawahara, why did you steal everyone's things?"

"I wanted to see what they were all hiding. I came out a bit disappointed though. However, when I went to your room and explored beneath your bed, when I found this, I was dumbfounded."

"Are everyone's belongings that boring in comparison?"

"It's not as if they are boring. There are some interesting things here. Look here, you see this gadget? I took it from Susaga's room. I then searched on the internet how much it was worth. It went above the ten thousand price bar. Crazy, right? And here--- are some diamonds --- I found them in Kuzan's room. The dude may act like a dumb little shit, but he has diamonds, can you believe it!?"

How Susaga and Kuzan got a hold of such things, was a topic worth delving in, but there was a more serious topic at hand right now.

"Are you even serious about graduating, Kawahara?"

"What's with that? I was in the middle of explaining, don't do me like that. Ah, about that... Well, I don't care. When I'm out, either by graduating or if I'm sent to jail, I'll keep on doing whatever I want. If I go to jail, then I'll just have to escape it, and resume my spree."

His words are contradicting. If Kawahara truly believes that, then there's something that's not adding up.

"If you can escape something like jail, then why are you still here?"

"Hm? Oh, that. That's because I love her."

As I thought, Kawahara is staying here not because of what he said but because Kawahara doesn't really have the ability to escape this school and its guards. Escaping is impossible simply because we have guards at the end of each school's entrances. In other words, no matter how much you brag about your supposed escaping maneuvers, it doesn't really matter in the end.

Well, that clears up something. It seems that Kawahara is---

"Huh, wait what?"

"It's nice and warm in here, isn't it? That fraud of a 'King' has a heater here while the rest of the dorm just spends a chilling eternity suffering from cold. Unfair, right?"

No, I seriously couldn't ca- Oh wait, that's true. What is this injustice?!

Still!

"No, not that! What you said before that?"

"Hm? What of it?"

"You... love her?"

"Yeah, I love her."

"Okay, who is this 'her'?"

That's what I actually wanted to know. I want to know because my reasoning just got countered. I initially thought that Kawahara was simply bluffing and, don't get me wrong, he still might be, but the part that shocked me was that he said that he was here in this school because he loved a certain 'her'.

"No way I'm telling dumbass."

"But, just to get this clear, the main reason why you are staying in this program isn't that you want to abolish your jail sentence but because you love her?"

"Yeah... Well, I don't really understand it well, so I don't think about it often, but it's the truth."

Oh, is that so.

So even brutes like this guy are capable of harboring such feelings, huh? Nonetheless, I'm glad that Kawahara isn't being a full bloomer about it though.

He doesn't seem to be that excited about it though. Kawahara just spoke those words in a monochrome tone as if it was an everyday thing.

"Got it. I'll tell the girls about it. This way, she'll eventually notice it."

"Ah, thank-- OI!"

What? Why is he acting so surprised now?

"What's the matter? If I tell every girl about it, then it will work out perfectly, won't it!?"

Shit, he was getting up from the bed with a pissed-off expression.

"Don't fuck around, I will fucking kill you right here and now!"

"Why though? I'm just doing the King a great favor! If your love interest notices this then I'm sure she will gladly accept you!"

"Stop screwing around, damn it! I wouldn't choose someone that simple!"

And he took a hold of my uniform's collar. He was serious about this. Well, so was I.

"Oh, I see. But you know, isn't it a waste!?"

"What's a waste!?"

Damn it, it was getting hard to keep his physical force in check. If I had to say, from what I have observed thus far, Kawahara would be the one with the best physical ability.

"It's a waste not to tell her, King! If you don't---"

"Stop the damn act!"

Oh, so he wasn't delusional after all.

"Alright then. I want to make a deal with you."

"I don't make deals. You either shut the fuck up or you die."

"No, hear me out first. This deal, in my opinion, is v-very valuable to y-you... Damn it, can you let go, I won't do anything, I swear!"

"This better be good then. You will die right here and now if it isn't."

"Ah, okay. By the way, can I play Fifa too? There's a second remote. I'll tell you the deal while playing."

"Sure. 1vs1 or no balls."

"You're on."

Thus, I grabbed the second remote and turned it on.

The bed seemed fluffy and warm, so I sat on it, right next to Kawahara who was now playing Fifa. For the record, he was playing a game that was different from Fifa just a while ago, but he kept on getting one-shoted because he was facing a side quest boss that was way above his level.

No wonder he got one-shoted.

It was also understandable as to why he switched to Fifa. But what Kawahara had no idea was that...

"Manchester United? What's wrong with City?"

"I don't even care about football that much. The symbol is just way cooler."

"Guess my team is Manchester City then."

The team didn't really matter, I just wanted to get the match rolling.

And no way in hell will I narrate the game. Because the outcome was decided from the start.

"Speak."

"The deal would be the following... I don't tell anyone about this and you don't tell anyone about that. But, there's more to that. I would additionally like to have my belonging back. I don't care about others' belongings at all. I just want mine back."

"Rejected. That deal is way too unbalanced. And besides, you gain more than I do, which equals my loss here, no matter how you look at it."

"Hold on. I'm not done yet."

"Oh?"

Kawahara would have the upper edge here since, in actuality, his argument is correct. But that would only be the case if that was all there was to it.

"I want my belonging back and your silence on it, but to do that, I will offer you the biggest deal a bro can ever offer you."

"Wait, there's such deal?"

"There is."

According to ancient times, it was never the first person who held the love interest for another person who made the decisive move and actions to make the love interest fall in love with him/her. No...

People often forgot about the existence of a certain type of human creatures that rarely come to this Earth.

Creatures so rare that true love has fallen off the crater of the Earth's core.

"I will help you out."

"Yeah, I know you will. You'll keep shut about it and never speak a word about it to anyone, or else you're dead meat."

Kawahara heavily misunderstood my words, it seems.

"No, not that. I'll help you out with your love life."

"What? Explain."

"You can take criticism, right?"

"Of course I can."

I bet he can't.

"Kawahara, to be blunt, your personality is so aggressive and impulsive that I don't think anyone in our class, assuming you love a girl in our class--"

"I do."

"As I was saying, your personality is that, so there's a massive problem."

"Which is?"

"No one likes you honestly. You're basically like Giyuu."

"Who the hell is Giyuu?"

Ah, I see that Kawahara lives a sad life.

"Whatever, what's important to note here is that your personality is so shit that making someone fall in love with you is out of option."

"Hey, it's not my fault. Also, my personality isn't shit."

"No, it is shit. Christ, you just slapped someone today just because she went against your words. That's the ultimate sign of immaturity. Whoever you are in love with won't probably admire that. And yes, I'm aware that the majority of the girls, probably, deep down, have fucked up personalities, but the chances of you getting her to fall in love with you are evidently low."

"She deserved it though. Akimiyashika was wrong. The exam's set up is illogical. Or don't tell me you actually agree with her on that?"

"No, I agree with you there. It's complete bullshit that you have to be paired up with someone who did the exact opposite of you."

"Right!? I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that it was illogical! It would've made way more sense if the exam was with people who are equally as strong as you are. Because then, not only would you have a sense of rivalry but you would actually look forward to the exam! But no! Fucking stupid blonde thot thinks that it's reasonable to set up a stupid non-sensical exam like this!"

As previously said, I agree with Kawahara's whole point of view. I have nothing against Yulia but the exam will only be hard for me for one reason and one reason alone. And that reason is, of course, Yulia. There's also the fact that she refused to meet up in person after class today.

Though, one could argue that I took way too long. If only some retards knew where they belong in the first place...

"You're not seeing it from Yuka-sensei's point of view though. She intends on making the physically stronger people help out the physically inferior ones. Remember, they intend to reform us."

"I couldn't give a fuck about her intention. It just pisses me off how illogical it is. I'm not doing the exam."

I like how this conversation just changed from one point to another. Kawahara is quite random. Then again, the fact that I'm allowing the conversation to be random like this doesn't make me exactly the superior person here. One could say I'm equally random.

"Why not though? You do know that if you don't pass the exam that you will have to do a supply exam... I know that you don't care about the jail sentences and all that, but isn't it a little bit unnecessary for you to just throw this opportunity out of the window like this...?"

"No, it's fine. I don't care about these exams or anything like that. Also, there's no way in hell that my partner will actually do shit in this exam. She's equally screwed and I'm fine with that."

Gale is a girl that loves to read and, also, she did the worst timing in the sprint test. Kawahara obviously had the best score, but Kawahara probably didn't think this through at all. If Kawahara truly cared about this exam then he would've run slow instead of running fast.

This way, he would be paired up with a girl that had the same speed as him. Needless to say, this would imply that Kawahara would've had to hold back. But that's the problem.

He doesn't hold back. I'm not sure if he doesn't know how to hold back or if he doesn't care enough to do so.

"That's actually the main point."

"Which is?"

"If you keep on screwing up like this and just fail every exam, then how will you be with her?"

"I've been thinking about that too. But, I'm pretty sure that it's transient. I doubt that I'll keep on feeling this way forever."

"What if it's not transient? What if you keep on feeling that way until the day you die? It's possible you know."

"Oh, I think I see where you are getting at. You're basically saying that I should try hard and pass the exams just to be with her. But, that won't work, sorry."

"Why not though? Aren't you in love with her? Isn't it natural for you to want to stay with her?"

"I'm not sure about whether or not it's natural, but I know one thing for sure. I do have feelings for her. But, I won't do a thing about it."

"What?"

I'm no expert when it comes to love, but aren't his words contradicting?

"How do I say this... I love her, but she'll never know because I won't tell her. Also, it's just a feeling. It doesn't go beyond that. Taking actions for this feeling that's probably gonna fade away pretty soon isn't worth it."

Strangely enough, Kawahara was acting like a total doomer.

Shit, is Kawahara secretly a doomer though?

Nevertheless, his words are interesting. I certainly didn't expect this much emotion from him.

"So, you're a pussy, basically?"

"Oi. Don't piss me while I'm playing. I'm focusing quite hard, you know?"

"Yeah, I'm aware. But, you're being a pussy about it. Sure, the chances of the one you love rejecting you are quite high, but not doing anything about it is equally, if not worse than that."

"Why though? I'm only doing nothing because it's not worth it. Also, she'll definitely deny me. Hey, I think she hates now."

To be honest, a lot of girls hate Kawahara, so I couldn't tell what girl he was implying when he said those last words.

"That can change. Hey, wouldn't it be nice if she came to love you?"

"I don't know. What then?"

"Maybe then you can find out if that feeling of yours is transient or not. Waiting for it to go away is pretty pathetic, don't you think?"

"That's true. All I'm doing is waiting for it to be over. So, you're saying that I should confirm whether she likes me or not?"

"No... Not you at least..."

"Huh? Then what? I don't get where you're going with this..."

At last, all the points were established. I had to get them out of the way just so Kawahara actually understands his own situation. This was equally important to me as well. Because there was a need to strike a deal with him. As he previously said, the deal was far too inferior for him and superior to him.

I'll admit, I tried to sack him but it didn't work. What can I say, I don't exactly expect someone who acts out of impulse all the time to be this logical.

But, now I know.

"As I said previously, I'll help you out. I will make her notice your feelings for you."

"No way can you do that. You don't even know who she is."

"You could help me and tell who she is..."

"Nope. No way. She'll notice it immediately."

"Fine, I'll help you regardless."

"What!? You're not making any sense, dude. How can you help me if you don't even know who I'm in love with!? It doesn't make any sense..."

"That's where you're wrong. Although I don't know the exact person, the person you like is a girl in our class, right? Therefore, I only have to look into 12 people in our classroom. Plus, from your reactions, I will be able to tell who she is. No matter how you look at it, it will only be a matter of time."

There's absolutely no way in hell that I won't be able to tell who he likes just by his reactions. That's not how human feelings work, Kawahara.

"Eh... So, um, you can actually help out in this scenario? No, no. What's your plan, actually?"

"I'll wingman you. You've heard of the term, right?"

"Yeah. A scenario where a secondary character makes two characters fall in love with each other, I think."

"Uh, not exactly, but your idea isn't totally wrong. Here's what I will do. Once I find out who this girl is, I will make her fall in love with you. While at it, I will guide you with all my wisdom. In other words, I will make your upcoming love relationship bloom. So, what do you think? An undeniable deal, right?"

"Let's review the deal a bit. You want that back and you want my silence for it and nothing more, correct?"

"Yes, that's correct. That's all I'm asking for it."

Although, I massively implied that he should take the upcoming special exam seriously. Otherwise, he can kiss his sweet moments goodbye.

Kinda like how Hyunda and Sagasuga influenced Rayazaki but this time around, there was no guarantee that he would take the exam seriously. After all, his complaints won't simply disappear because of this...

"And I get your silence on this and in addition, you said you would make her notice my feelings for her, right?"

"Yeah sure. Hey, I'll do even more. I'll make her see you on a whole new light."

"Is that even possible?"

"I don't even know honestly."

Not gonna lie, it was looking a bit hopeless when it came to that.

"But, if that's all then there's no deal."

"Okay, but why though?"

"The deal is even. We both equally profit from it."

I'm glad Kawahara understands the equality in this deal.

"But, that's it. I don't want an equal deal. I want a superior deal for me."

Ah, you greedy motherfucker.

"That's why I thought and I will close the deal if you tell me the story behind that."

Not only is he greedy, but he is playing dirty. However, I couldn't let Kawahara being in the possession of that for long. As a matter of fact, I had to retrieve it immediately.

"Basically, you'll keep your silence about this, give that back, and I, in return, will keep my silence about your case, wingman you, while, ultimately, also telling you the story behind that. Is that it?"

"Yes, it is. Also, I should mention. Conversation from this point on is useless. Fucker, why didn't you tell me?"

"What do you mean? I'll also accept the deal you've made. Now give that back please."

"Only if I beat you in a match!"

Shit, I might never have it back then. 

"But, you'll keep the deal if you win, right?"

"Yeah, I'll keep my word. But, you better take this seriously."

"Of course, I will."

I forgot to mention. I'm a pro at Fifa.
