Ayanokouji agrees to at least accompany Yukimura.
His reward this week is getting a classy home-cooked meal from her as she discusses class analytics.
Hes content to leave everything in her clearly capable hands, but does request thatsheparticipate in the chess competition.
Hell be her coach.
Mei once again tries to get him to talk to her, but she shoves her down.
He approaches him and asks him simply to tell him why he is being the way he is.
The result was a broken class, in which everyone acted like cowed automatons.
He thought hed learned his lesson, only for this latest situation with Yamauchi to unfold.
His belief was nothing more than a fantasy.
If hes struggling, he can ask those same classmates for help.
Hell get out what he puts in.
By showing hes doing everything he can for the class, theyll do everything they can for him.
They can walk forward together.
As Ayanokouji calculated, this cage-rattling did the trick, snapping Yousuke out of his personal pity party.
They head one way, while Ayanokouji and Sakayanagi head another, to finally have their big season-ending showdown.
