Yay! Thanks for the superb translation! I too was shookith that Shimoda said she didn’t consider herself to be Akane’s friend. I wouldn’t be surprised if Kudou’s plan is to just be there in the class and act normal. As Naoi said, her mere presence is enough to set her off. Shouldn’t take long to make her more ostracised, and Yoshizawa would naturally try to intervene and get taken down by association.
