WHILE I was sleeping, I could hear girls' voices from outside the tent. They sounded like they were in a bad mood. Seems like the whole turmoil and chaos has started.
"Hey, boys. Can you all gather around?"
The voice sounded rough, like she'd meant to say, "Hurry and wake already!" I had such a light sleep, I didn't get enough of it from last night... nonetheless, I opened my eyes and rubbed them as I stood up.
"What the hell? God, I'm so goddamn tired..." An irritated Sudou appeared from the tent and looked around.
"What's wrong?" Hirata asked.
"Ah, Hirata-kun. I'm sorry, but can you please wake all of the boys? It's serious," said Shinohara, sounding apologetic. A little further away, the girls glared at us.
"I understand. I think if I shout, they'll come."
Within two minutes, the boys came out of the tent rubbing their sleepy eyes. When the half-asleep boys looked around, they inferred that this situation was especially alarming. The girls all looked scared.
"What's going on? Why did you wake us up so early?"
"Sorry, Hirata-kun. This doesn't involve you, but...we've gathered everyone to confirm something."
Shinohara gave everyone except Hirata a look of complete contempt.
"Well, this morning... Karuizawa-san's underwear went missing. Do you know what this means?"
"U-underwear?"'
Even Hirata, usually calm and collected, appeared visibly shaken. Speaking of Karuizawa, she was missing, along with some of her friends.
"Karuizawa-san is crying inside the tent right now. Kushida-san and others are comforting her right now, but..." Shinohara looked over to the girls' tent.
"Huh? Huh? What? Why are you glaring at us over her underwear being missing?"
"Isn't that obvious? Someone went through her bag in the middle of the night and stole them. Our luggage was outside the tent, so if someone wanted to steal something, they easily could have!"
The boys, still in a state of drowsiness, all exchanged looks.
"No, no, no, no! Huh?! Huh?!"
Ike, in a complete panic, looked back and forth between the boys and girls. One of the boys who'd been observing all this grumbled calmly.
"Come to think of it, Ike, you were pretty late getting back from the toilet yesterday. You took a really long time."
"No, no, no! That was just, well...I was struggling because it was dark!"
"Is that so? You stole Karuizawa's underwear, didn't you?"
"Y-you're wrong! I didn't do it!"
The boys started blaming one another.
"Anyway. This is a huge problem, don't you agree? It's impossible for us to camp alongside a bunch of underwear thieves," said Shinohara, her arms crossed. She looked as though she was going to lose her temper.
"Hirata-kun, can you find the culprit?"
"Well, there's no evidence that the boys stole it. Maybe Karuizawa-san lost it."
"Yeah, that's right! We have nothing to do with this!" The boys shouted behind Hirata, proclaiming their innocence.
"I don't want to think there's a criminal among us."
