Chapter 11 - 10. Trial-1

"Yes, yes. We will resolve it internally. Ah, cancellation fee? How much is it? Oh. Alright."

I called Horikita-senpai to cancel the trial against Sakayanagi for stalking.

By the way, I have already message Suzune to spread the message on the forum that Sakayanagi Arisu, the daughter of the chairman, was stalking her boyfriend. In the message, she is asking how to go against the Chairman's daughter.

I wouldn't let this brat off so easily. She is trying to ruin my reputation, so I wouldn't hold back either.

The status of Chairman's daughter will act as a stigma for her. No matter the result, people will assume that she is abusing her status to brush off this incident.

"Sakayanagi, the cancellation fee of the trial is 10,000 points. You pay for it."

"Fufu~ Aren't you quite stingy? Alright. Give me your number."

So she is going to use this as a proof that she didn't know my number.

"Stop pretending Sakayanagi. You already got my number, didn't you?"

"You are quite sharp, Hajime-kun."

Since confirming with Yahiko will be very easy, she didn't argue and paid me 10,000 points.

I paid these 10,000 points to Horikita-senpai, and the trial got cancelled.

"Katsuragi, I want witness protection for Yahiko and Kamuro. Make sure that Sakayanagi doesn't contact them outside of the trial we will be having in the class. I believe that Sakayanagi has some dirt on Kamuro.

And I don't want her interacting with me either."

"Alright. Sakayanagi, if you contact them, it will cast severe suspicion against you. Do you want any witness to be protected from being contacted by Hajime?"

"The same, Yahiko-kun and Kamuro-san."

"Alright. The class is about to start, so the trial will happen after school ends."

Everyone had arrived in the class by now, and Katsuragi said, "Starting now to the end of this month, don't talk about what happens in the class or with classmates to other classes.

If possible, don't talk with other classes for this month.

It's most likely that the points we receive next month will be affected by our behaviour, so please remain on your best behaviour."

I must say, Katsuragi is the best guy for being the Class Representative.

Just then, Mashima-sensei entered the class, and said, "I don't mind if you want to take up homeroom to discuss whatever you want. After school, there will be a Club Fair, so you wouldn't get the time."

"Thank you sensei."

Thanking Mashima-sensei, Katsuragi started the trial.

"Ahem! This trial is Hajime Hayato vs Sakayanagi Arisu. Hajime Hayato has accused Sakayanagi Arisu for stalking him.

It was originally going to be handled by the Student Council, but because Sakayanagi has said that approaching Student Council for this matter might affect our class and the points we will get, and upon my request, this matter will now be mediated by me.

Hajime, your statement."

"I am quite scared of Sakayanagi because she keeps acting creepy and has been stalking me.

I will go chronologically.

Yesterday, she said that she wants to have a bet with me, but it's just an excuse to spend time with me. I refused her advances.

This happened in the class yesterday.

Next, yesterday too, after returning from the convenience store and heading to the dorm building, she was waiting in ambush near the elevator.

When I decided to avoid her by taking the stairs, she stomped her cane on the floor quite harshly.

I told her that a guy named Ayanokoji Kiyotaka from Class 1-D is far more interesting than me. So go play with him and don't bother me.

And that made a crack in her smug expression, I don't know why. But it is most likely irrelevant in this case.

Anyway, that was my interaction with her yesterday.

And today morning, around 6 am, I was asking the bento shopkeeper about the timing of the clothing store, when she entered the shop.

That was the moment I understood that she is stalking me."

I explained everything, and people started murmuring.

Afterall, who goes to a bento shop at 6 am? Maybe sports clubs' members who have morning practice.

Moreover, if Sakayanagi really wanted to just buy a bento, convenience store sells it too. And it's just outside the dorm building.

Sakayanagi kept her smug expression and started explaining her side.

"I have a fascination of dealing with smart people and defeating them. But since he wasn't ready to bet with me, I tried to play the card of being interested in him to make him agree.

Sadly, he disagreed.

Regarding the ambush in the dorm building, I was just waiting for him to accompany me in investigating the upperclassmen classes to get clues about how the school works, but it seems that he got a wrong idea.

And though it is unrelated, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is someone who was in my elementary school. I was just a little surprised that he managed to make it here.

In any case, he is unrelated to the case.

And the last case today at the bento shop, I went there to warn him, outside of prying eyes, to not have sexual acts again even if he has a girlfriend. Because that might cause our points to get reduced, or in the worse case scenario, expulsion.

I was told by friend Kamuro that she saw him and his girlfriend came out of his room in the morning, so as a responsible classmate and the future leader of Class A, it's my job to warn him."

That's a convincing argument. Afterall, my room is on the fourth floor. If Kamuro was on the fifth or higher floor on the opposite side, she could see what's happening on 4th floor.

The dorm building is like an apartment complex without parking area, with a garden in the middle.

"First, I never had sexual acts with my girlfriend. It's a misunderstanding on Kamuro's part."

I didn't buy a condom yesterday, and today, I had the convenience store clerk buy it under his name then place it in my bag while putting everything else. Points really can buy anything here, and the extra I had to pay was just 10 points.

But when I asked him how much extra will it take for doing them same with a beer because a staff asked me to, it was 100 million points.

It seems that the school actually encourages sexual activities secretly, as long as someone doesn't get pregnant and cause a scandal. And condoms for minors isn't illegal.

But a minor drinking beer is illegal. And strangely enough, instead of straight up denying me, the quoted price for slipping in a beer was 100 million. They could have just banned beer from being slipped to students, but instead chose to set an impossible price for it.

So the school seems to be intent on keeping the 'anything on the campus can be bought with points' feature.

Putting those things aside,

"I would like to question the witness in question, Kamuro."
