Kiyotaka POV
The fragrance of the first tea of the season is now in the air. I hope all of you are doing well.
A month and a half since the start of school. I spent every day carefree.
"Ah. What a shitty game." Kiyone cursed out while laying her head besides me.
"Language." All is well except for my beloved little sister who seems to be getting more worse on each passing day.
Always playing games late at night, eating unhealthy foods, and she's even ignoring my text and calls recently.
"So the disciplinary committee?" Even though with her unhealthy schedule, she managed to do each tasks given to her exceptionally to prove her qualifications as the president of the newly formed disciplinary committee.
Of course this information isn't known about the public yet, only certain individuals like the staffs and the student council president only has access to this information.
"They're going to announce it after the exams, I was told that it was my decision on who I was going to pick out on who the members will be."
"Do you have any candidates that you've already picked out?"
"It doesn't really matter who it is as long as they do all the work so I can just play games." So in the end she's just using the disciplinary committee as an excuse to not help out the class.

Time passed by quickly and it was like I teleported to the classroom. I spaced out being in my own world ignoring my surroundings.
"Excuse me, can you hear me? Is your head ok?" Of course it was interrupted by my seatmate who suddenly hit my forehead with her palm.
"So you don't have a fever huh." That was your way of checking a person's temperature?
I remembered how we reached this situation, and I involuntarily sighed. Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to cooperate with her.
Oh well, no use crying over spilt milk.
At the time, I agreed to help to cheer her up, but thinking back on it, it's really not like me to accept.
"So, Mr. Strategist. What should I do?"
"Well… of course, we need to persuade Sudou-kun and the others to participate in the study group again. To do that, you'll have to grovel at your feet, begging them to join."
"Why do I have to do that… In the first place, you're the reason there was a fight."
"The true reason is that they didn't want to study. Don't mistake that."
This girl… Does she even want to help them?
"It's impossible to gather them again without Kushida's help. You know that too, right?"
"… I know. I guess we'll have to make some sacrifices."
Looks like she doesn't want to be involved with Kushida in any way possible. Even though she wasn't happy about it, she agreed since it was an emergency.
This is the best compromise possible for someone like Horikita who doesn't want her close. "Alright, go and quickly get her to work with us."
"Me?"
"Of course. You formed a contract with me. Since you agreed to be my workhorse until we reach class A, you have to comply." I don't remember making that kind of contract.
