<p>Again, this is a just minor joke, not really relevant to the plot at least anime-wise. Hence, this is just a partial answer.</p>

<p>Actually in the same episode, there are 2 Houjou x Hamaguchi things. I'm not too sure of the details here. Maybe there's more in the manga.</p>

<p>I was initially wondering where Hamaguchi is in the Camping Trip episode S02E07</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/uSodi.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/uSodi.jpg" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<p>Notice we see the pairs / groups:</p>
<ol>
<li>Takagi x Nishikata</li>
<li>Mano x Nakai</li>
<li>Mina, Yukari, Sanae</li>
<li>Kimura, Takao</li>
<li>Hell we can see 6 named characters in the front row all together: Mina, Yukari, Sanae, Kimura, Takao and Tanabe-sensei.</li>
</ol>
<p>And then Houjou's not with anyone we know.</p>
<p>I checked the <a href="https://karakai-jouzu-no-takagi-san.fandom.com/wiki/Hamaguchi" rel="nofollow noreferrer">fandom</a> / wikia and apparently <strong>all the main or supporting student characters but Hamaguchi are in the same class</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/H28qx.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/H28qx.png" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Question</strong>: What's up with this? What's the difference to the plot if Hamaguchi is in their class?</p>
<p>You might argue Hamaguchi is a character introduced only later in (the manga equivalent of) s2, specifically S02E01, and thus is in a different class to avoid plot inconsistencies like 'Where was Hamaguchi during event X in s1?' But this doesn't explain Houjou who was also introduced only in s2, specifically S02E04.</p>

What's up with Hamaguchi's being in a different class?

Notice we see the pairs / groups:

1. Takagi x Nishikata
2. Mano x Nakai
3. Mina, Yukari, Sanae
4. Kimura, Takao
5. Hell we can see 6 named characters in the front row all together: Mina, Yukari, Sanae, Kimura, Takao and Tanabe-sensei.

I checked the [fandom](https://karakai-jouzu-no-takagi-san.fandom.com/wiki/Hamaguchi) / wikia and apparently **all the main or supporting student characters but Hamaguchi are in the same class**.

They are [in the same folk dance](https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/67639/why-are-houjou-and-hamaguchi-in-the-same-folk-dance-when-theyre-in-different-cl) despite that they are in different classes.
