COTE : Backed By Black Technology System

Meanwhile, in room 401, Ayanokouji's room.

Ike Kanji, Sudo Ken, and Yamauchi Haruki had forcibly gathered there to discuss their 'great' plan.

"From now on, I will hold a meeting about Operation Delta." Ike Kanji, who was usually very carefree and frivolous, was now sitting in a very formal kneeling position, clenching his fists on his legs, with a serious expression on his face.

"I want to bet all my summer youth on this Operation Delta. Haruki, what do you think?"

"My feelings are the same as yours, Kanji. If this plan succeeds, I will have no regrets!"

Yamauchi Haruki, who was beside him, was very excited and immediately responded to Ike.

In contrast, Sudou had been quietly observing, and no one knew what he was thinking.

After a moment of thought, Sudou made his decision.

"I oppose this plan!"

"Huh? Why? Ken, don't you want to see Horikita naked? Don't you like her?" Ike looked very surprised.

"That's true, but if the plan succeeds, you guys will also see Horikita's body. So I oppose it!"

Facing Sudou's reason, Ayanokouji couldn't tell if he was noble or selfish.

"Huh? She has nothing to do with you now, right? And we'll show you Kikyo's body too. How about this, we'll let you check the footage first, and you can cut out Horikita's part, okay?"

Seeing Sudou's reluctance, Ike quickly tried to persuade him.

"Huh? How could I edit videos? Are you underestimating me, you idiot?" In an instant, Sudou grabbed Ike's head and applied a headlock.

"Then, let's ask the Doctor..."

The Doctor, whose real name is Sotomura Hideo, is a chubby otaku who is very skilled with computers and technology. He is good at typing, video editing, and assembling models.

Ike's plan relied entirely on Sotomura's skills.

The details of the plan started with the news that had been spreading in the class group chat over the past two days.

The last three days of summer vacation, the swimming club's special swimming facility will be open to all students. From 9 AM to 5 PM during these three days, all students can go to the pool for free.

Ike and his friends saw this as an opportunity to spy on the girls' changing room.

In the girls' changing room, any girl going to the pool will have a moment when she takes off all her clothes.

Yes, when changing into a swimsuit.

Ike and his friends aimed for this moment and even made a remote-controlled car with a camera.

By using the vent connecting the boys' and girls' changing rooms, they could get the car to the vent under the girls' changing room and record the scene inside.

In short, they were using high-tech to spy, which is definitely a crime.

"I refuse! You guys better give up too! If we get caught, we'll be expelled for sure!"

Sudou left Ike and walked out of Ayanokouji's room.

"What a hypocrite!"

Ike, who had been scolded, looked unhappy as he watched Sudou leave.

But Sudou's departure didn't discourage them. Instead, it made Ike more determined to succeed and show off in front of Sudou.

"Ken won't report us, right?" Yamauchi asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, Haruki, he won't."

Although it was unclear where Ike's confidence came from, Yamauchi nodded.

Ayanokouji thought to himself, you know this is wrong, so why are you doing it?

"I'll handle the plan, but inviting the girls to the pool is your job now, Ayanokouji!"

"...I can't do that." Ayanokouji instinctively wanted to refuse.

"Ayanokouji! I believe in you. Are you going to betray Haruki and me?" Ike interrupted him, looking serious.

Ayanokouji didn't want to get involved. If they got caught, they could all be expelled.

But he couldn't directly persuade them due to his character.

Sigh, these guys are really troublesome, Ayanokouji sighed.

He had to find a way to ruin their plan without getting caught.

In this situation, he could only ask Horikita for help.

As for the last three days of pool activities, Kanda Shuichi wouldn't miss it. He had already received an invitation from Kushida.

And since it wasn't a solo invitation from Kushida, Kanda Shuichi also invited Kamuro Masumi and Horikita during dinner.

He thought both would refuse, but while Horikita declined, saying she needed to study for the next term, Kamuro agreed immediately.

Why didn't he invite Miyake?

Of course, he did, but Miyake refused, saying, "I've already made plans with Hashibara-senpai, so I won't join you."

Damn!

Kanda Shuichi and his friends planned to go to the pool on the last day of the three-day event, which was also the last day of summer vacation.

At 8:25 AM, Kanda Shuichi walked out of his room with a bag and saw a girl with purple hair and three new hairpins standing in front of him.

This girl was Kamuro Masumi, who had somehow become the closest person to Kanda Shuichi.

"Good morning."

"Good morning? It's almost 8:30."

Kamuro Masumi showed her phone to Kanda Shuichi, displaying the time: 8:26.

"We agreed to meet at 8:30, so we still have four minutes. Let's go." Kanda Shuichi didn't mind. "By the way, isn't Sakayanagi going to the pool?"

"Do you think I agreed to come out with you so easily for no reason?" Kamuro sighed.

"I see, so you were ordered to get close to me, right?"

Kanda Shuichi smiled playfully.

"That's right."

For Kamuro Masumi, betraying Sakayanagi Arisu was no big deal.

"Well, let's have a good time today, Masumi."

"I-I know." Kamuro mumbled, then reached out her hand. "Give me your bag."

Kamuro's gesture amused Kanda Shuichi. No wonder Sakayanagi liked to boss Kamuro around; she was quite lovable.

After handing over his bag, Kanda Shuichi walked towards the elevator. The bag only contained a swimsuit, so it was very light and wouldn't tire Kamuro.

Kamuro slung Kanda Shuichi's bag over her shoulder and followed closely behind.

It looked like a young master going out with his maid.

When they reached the lobby, Kanda Shuichi saw that besides Kushida Kikyo, who had invited him, there were also Ike, Yamauchi, and Sudou. He wasn't surprised by this, but he was surprised to see Ayanokouji Kiyotaka and Horikita Suzune.

Horikita hadn't agreed to come when he invited her, so why did she change her mind and come now?

He needed to ask her later. Why did she refuse his invitation but come when someone else asked? Did she look down on him?
