WE BRIEFLY SPLIT UP so that we could get changed. Once we had finished getting ready, we gathered at the meeting place. Kushida, Ryuuen, Kitou, and I went over to the front of the lift. Since two people could ride per lift carriage, we decided that it would be me with Ryuuen, and Kushida with Kitou. We’d determined that that combination would make it the most difficult for anyone to fight. Just to be on the safe side, I let Kushida and Kitou go first and then let a few other pairs on after them. That way, Kitou and Ryuuen couldn’t glare at each other during the ride.

“Can’t you try and get along with Kitou a little better?” I asked Ryuuen.

“That’s an impossible ask, my guy,” he replied, looking out at the snow-covered mountains. “Now if it was Kitou who was askin’, that’d be a different story.”

“So, there’s not much hope there, huh?” I sighed. “In that case, I guess there’s nothing we can do about it. But really, this might be a good chance, you know. Kitou seems to hold some degree of trust from Sakayanagi, from the looks of things. I would’ve thought that someone like you would see this as an opportunity to get Kitou in your pocket. Depending on how things play out, you might even be able to make him into an ally.”

Ryuuen, sitting beside me on the lift, seemed to think that this school trip was mainly about gathering information, and he certainly wasn’t wrong on that point. In fact, I could tell that Sakayanagi was doing something similar.

“Kitou might not even fully look like a human bein’ on the outside, but the guy’s definitely got a lot of loyalty,” Ryuuen replied. “Anyway, don’t you think Sakayanagi was already on alert from the moment that Kitou got put in the same group as me? If I started tryin’ to negotiate without thinkin’, I’d just be shootin’ myself in the dick.”

“That’s rather realistic.”

Ryuuen had little contact with Kitou up until this point, and he still didn’t know very much about him. However, judging from how thoroughly he seemed to dislike Ryuuen, I had a good sense of his willingness to protect Class A together with Sakayanagi. I hadn’t heard about any problematic behavior from him, either. If Ryuuen carelessly attempted to negotiate with him and bring him over to his side, it would be like asking for information to be leaked.

“Besides, the only talent I needed from Class A was Katsuragi,” Ryuuen added. “Kitou and Hashimoto are good enough as her little dogs, but they ain’t good enough to be my pawns. It ain’t worth the risk of tryin’ to nab ’em.”

So, that was the reason Ryuuen didn’t act friendly toward Kitou, and instead continued to antagonize him. While Ryuuen did appreciate what Kitou and the other Class A students were capable of, he seemed to see Katsuragi as the only one who stood out.

Just then, the lift carriage arrived at its destination, and we got off at the advanced course.
