Chapter 49 Unexpected Ending

The scene shifts to the conference room, where Ryuto and the others arrive to find everyone already waiting there.

This setup is quite intimidating.

Then...

"Oh, Amagi finally arrived," Arashi Manami says with a casual smile, seemingly unaware of what's going on.

...

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin the meeting."

And so, it goes back to a scene similar to yesterday, with Ryuto once again forced to sit next to Arashi Manami.

Oh man... What a punishment game.

"Based on the results of yesterday's meeting, disciplinary action will be taken today. But before that..."

Arashi Manami shifts her gaze towards Ryuto.

"Amagi junior, continuing from yesterday's topic, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Well... from what I can see, this matter may not be as everyone thinks."

"What do you mean?"

Arashi Manami continues to smile.

"The truth is, the person who took the money is not Setsuna Seto. That's how it is."

Upon hearing this statement, our guidance counselor, Murata Rose, is the first to react, cursing loudly.

"Nonsense! Who else could be the culprit besides her?"

"Ah... because I found the so-called real culprit."

"The real culprit?"

Everyone exclaims in unison.

After that, Rinne Higashiyama steps forward and bows to everyone.

"I apologize deeply for causing so much trouble. The true thief is me."

Rinne Higashiyama admits it straightforwardly.

"How is that possible? Higashiyama is the culprit."

Murata Rose shouts the loudest once again.

It seems that this alone is not enough.

So Ryuto simply repeats the whole process.

After listening, Murata Rose is the first to react once again.

Oh man... It's him again.

"Since that's the case, this matter must be dealt with seriously. Otherwise, it will have a very negative impact."

Our guidance counselor, Murata Rose, starts rambling again.

"Now that it has come to this, there is no other way. Higashiyama must be expelled. Otherwise, it will tarnish the school's reputation, and that cannot be changed."

"There is no other way."

Inoue Hattori also agrees.

Upon hearing this, Rinne Higashiyama doesn't feel surprised. It is the expected outcome, and for some reason, she doesn't regret it either.

Arashi Manami looks at Ryuto with a smile after hearing this.

"Our guidance counselor said that. Do you have any objections, Amagi junior?"

"Well... all I can say is that maybe things aren't over yet."

"?"

Although she knows that there might be something else, Arashi Manami still doesn't know what Ryuto is referring to.

Just then, another person enters through the door.

"Let me explain this matter."

The one speaking is the principal of Kanagawa High School, Hito Junjin.

"Principal."

Everyone exclaims in unison.

"This is how it actually happened."

Ignoring everyone's surprise, Hito Junjin speaks slowly.

"In fact, I deliberately arranged this whole thing from the beginning. In other words, I orchestrated it to test whether Amagi Ryuto is capable of being the head of the Special Order Department. After all, this position is the first of its kind in our school, so caution is necessary. But I am satisfied with the results. That's all I have to say. As for the punishment, it's up to all of you to decide."

After finishing his explanation, Hito Junjin quickly leaves.

"Huh...?"

Although Rinne Higashiyama makes a strange sound, it seems that no one notices. Almost everyone is confused by this unexpected turn of events.

At this moment, our guidance director, Murata Rosu, was the first to react.

Wow... his response speed is so fast. How good is the performance of his equipment?

"Since this is the case, there is no need to waste any more time. As for the students, I will make it clear to them as well."

Facing the proposal of the guidance director, Murata Rosu.

"You're right, since it's like this, let's just end this matter. No one needs to be punished in the end. Meeting adjourned."

One by one, the others left.

Just as Ryuto was about to leave, he was stopped by a voice from behind.

"Can you stay for a moment, Amagi?"

What Arashi Manami is currently concerned about is why the principal said those words. As the initiator, Arashi Manami is well aware that it was not the principal's intention.

So, what could be the reason for that person's change? Undoubtedly, Amagi Ryuto must have done something. Arashi Manami believes this and can only believe this.
