Day 2
Tatsuya POV
I was currently on the watch tower with Ayanokoji, observing the island. This place is clearly a strategic place to observe the whole island.
I then took out my binoculars
Kiyo: "another one?"
Tatsuya: "no, I completely bring this on my own"
Kiyo: "thats against the rules"
Tatsuya: "Only if I got caught"
I then observe the entire island with my binocular for about an hour. I then make a map of the island.
Tatsuya: "done"
Kiyo: "let me guess, you marked all the spots?"
Tatsuya: "This will come in handy for our plan."
Kiyo: "lets go back. Its already 12 PM"
Tatsuya: "yeah"
We descended from the tower and went back to our base
20 Minutes later
Everyone seems to be just fine. Even after Koenji's withdrawal, the class is still functioning properly. Good for them
I then noticed a blue haired girl sitting on the ground while resting her back on a tree, isolated from everyone. If I remember she is Ibuki, the girl who got angry at Ryuuen at the ship
But lets just play dumb first
Tatsuya: "Hirata, who is that?"
Hirata: "Ah, she is Ibuki Mio from 1-C"
Suspicious
Kiyo: "why is she just sitting there?"
Hirata: "We actually invited her to come here, but she just sits there, not moving a single inch. She seems to be kicked out by Ryuuen kun"
Tatsuya: "is that so? I'm going to check her on"
I walked towards Ibuki
Tatsuya: "excuse me"
Ibuki: "what the hell do you want?"
Kiyo: : "no need to be so rough"
I noticed her nails were dirty. It looks like she is digging something before. So that's why she didn't move at all. Well, its not like my classmates can notice it.
I looked at the ground beside her, its totally suspicious. It looks lite its just have been covered by dirt recently
Kiyo: "you can come to our base though. We don't mind"
Ibuki: "are you stupid?"
Tatsuya: "well, we don't think you would sabotage us. Ryuuen kicked you out right? so there is no reason for you to work for him"
Lets just see how she will handle some little kindness.
Ibuki seems to think for a while, but after some times, she agreed to join us. What an easy person to manipulate
Tatsuya: "you noticed it?"
Kiyo: "the ground beside her is strange. I'm going to check it in the midnight"
Tatsuya: "no problem"
We then did the rest of our activity for the day
Day 3
Kiyotaka POV
Its currently 3.00 AM. No one is awake right now, even Ibuki.
I then go to the tree where Ibuki was sitting the day we found her.
I dig the ground and found it
Kiyo: "a walkie talkie and a camera, huh?"
Then, someone suddenly appeared
Tatsuya: "it seems our prediction is correct. She is hiding something"
Kiyo: "yeah, lets just see later. For now lets stay vigilant"
Timeskip, 5.45 AM
Kushida POV
Another early wake up. This place is not comfortable at all. Its making me not able to sleep well. And the worst part is, I still get nightmares from those 2 fucking monsters. Damn it
I got out of my tent, and saw him. Ayanokoji Kiyotaka. But it seems Ibuki is also out there. She also wakes up early, huh.
But again, my eyes saw an unexpected event
Ibuki: "what are you doing?"
Kiyo: "uh, claiming spot?"
AGAIN! HE CLAIMED A SPOT INFRONT OF ENEMY CLASS! AGAIN! WHAT ARE THOSE 2 THINKING!
Ibuki: "what the fuck! are you insane? claiming a spot infront of an enemy"
Kiyo: "I don't want to believe you're an enemy"
what the fuck? now this monster is playing goodie goodie. What is he thinking? I can't understand him at all
Ibuki: "whatever"
Really, these 2. Shiba, Ayanokoji, I cant understand them at all
Ayanokoji then walked to the tower's direction
Timeskip, 9 AM
Kiyotaka POV
We're now just doing our things. Eating, discussing plans for the next days, and chilling.
This is getting boring to be honest
Kiyo: "Hirata"
Hirata: "um, yes?"
Kiyo: "I'm going to visit other class's base. Is it fine?"
Hirata: "um, sure"
Suzune: "I'm coming with you"
To my suprise, Horikita also wanted to come
Kiyo: "well, I see no problem with that. What about you, Shiba?"
Tatsuya: "of course"
But before we left, we saw a rather familiar figure
???: "One day has passed so I was wondering what had happened. I came to check your situation. You've seized a good place."
He was honestly interested looking at the base camp from a riverside. It didn't seem he had an especially ulterior motive.
Hirata: "Indeed, you are... class B Kanzaki, right?"
Hirata seemed to recognize Kanzaki since he remembered his name.
Kanzaki: "Have I surprised you? Sorry, it wasn't in ill intention."
Apologizing, Kanzaki turned his back on us and started walking.
Kiyo: "Kanzaki, where does B class have their base camp?"
I didn't know if he was going to tell us, but I tried asking. Kanzaki then turned back and replied without reluctance.
Kanzaki: "There are large crooked trees on the way back to the beach when going along the road from here. There is a camping ground where class B stays when heading into the forest southwest from there. You won't get lost when you enter into large trees. Tell her I won't mind if she comes in need."
Suzune: "Did you come spying on class D or to see how we used our points?"
Kanzaki: "No such thing. Just curious. Thats all"
Kiyo: "I see. We will go to your class's base then. Is it fine?"
Kanzaki: "sure, go ahead"
We then walked towards Class B's base
Timeskip, Class B's base
Tatsuya POV
Soon after, we reached B class campsite.
Tatsuya: "I wonder if it's gonna look like as one would expect of class B..."
There was a completely different view of life from that of class D when we arrived at the campsite. Well's surroundings that was used as a spot was fickle and there was no space to spread 3 or 4 tents for 8 people.
They secured a space to stay by supplementing tents for hammocks. Even though we started in the same way, the items they used were completely different. One unfamiliar device that was placed near the well caught my eye, but the unique atmosphere around B class was what surprised me the most.
???: "Huh? Horikita-san? Shiba kun? And Ayanokouji-kun?"As if sensing a presence of sudden visitors, a girl who was tying a string to attach a hammock to a tree turned her head toward us and called out. A figure in jersey turns out to be Ichinose Honami. A little far away was Kanzaki.
Suzune: "The class is functioning surprisingly well. Although you are facing many hardships with your base."
Ichinose: "Ahaha. It was hard at first. But I tried figuring out various ways and I've made it work. Although there's still plenty of work to be done." Said Ichinose smiling while finishing tying the rope tightly.
Kiyo: "Thats good, I guess."
Ichinose: "I'm sorry. I guess that has become a way of leave-taking. It's okay to take some break, right? I wonder if you came to visit to ask me something."
Without detest, Ichinose encouraged us to sit on the hammock, but we just refused
Suzune: "I wonder if it's okay to think we're more or less in a cooperative relationship since the last time."
Ichinose: "At least I think that way."
Tatsuya: "Well, how many points did you use so far? On what did you use points? And if you could tell us the rating of your tools, we'd be saved. We'd tell some information as well, of course."
I wonder if Kanzaki could estimate what we were planning to do seeing us that morning. We wanted to negotiate after being sure it wouldn't become a hard blow if we inform them directly. Ichinose smiled and took out the manual from her bag. While showing that they had a list of what they bought on a blank paper, she read it out loud:
Ichinose: "Hammock, cookware, small tent, lantern and provisional toilet. Fishing rod and water shower... If we combine it with food, it's a total of 70 points"
Suzune: "I assume your strategy are to save points?"
Ichinose: "yes, we dont want to take any chance of guessing a leader."
???: "we've done our food gathering, Ichinose san"
Ichinose: "ah thank you, Kaneda kun"
Kaneda? this guy is not on class B
Kaneda: "you're welcome, Ichinose san" he then left the scene
Tatsuya: "as far as I remember, he is not on class B right?"
Ichinose: "ah yes, he is from class C. Ryuuen kun kicked him out"
Suzune: "what a coincidence, Ryuuen kun also kicked one of his classmate to our camp"
Ichinose: "I see. Rutheless as always"
Suzune: "I'm going to look around this base. Is it fine?"
Ichinose: "sure, go ahead"
Tatsuya: "me too"
Kiyo: "I'll pass"
I then looked around the base, leaving Ayanokoji alone
Ichinose POV
Kiyo: "your class seems to be fine"
Ichinose: "I'm quite happy about it. Good thing our class is full of good people"
Kiyo: "I see. Now if you'll excuse me"
Ichinose: "where are you going?"
Kiyo: "claiming a spot"
wait, what? CLAIMING A SPOT?!
Ichinose: "A-A-A-A-Ayanokoji kun, what are you talking about?"
Kiyo: "claiming a spot"
Ichinose: "not that idiot! why are you telling this infront of me"
Kanzaki: "whats wrong? Ichinose"
Ichinose: "a-ah nothing"
Kiyo: "well, if you excuse me. I got a spot to claim"
Kanzaki: "did you just expose yourself?"
Shiba kun and Horikita san then came back
Suzune: "whats happening?"
Kanzaki: "your leader here is exposing himself"
Suzune: "wait, what?"
Kiyo: "this is taking too long. I'm going to claim the spot right now"
Ayanokoji kun left towards the north, leaving Horikita san dumbfounded
I then followed him silently, then I saw him infront of spot claiming machine
He took out his keycard and claims it. What is going on?
Ichinose: "umm, what are you doing, Ayanokoji kun?"
Kiyo: "claiming a spot"
Suzune: "not that idiot! why did you do it infront of Ichinose san?"
I looked behind me, and saw Horikita san, Shiba kun, and Kanzaki kun
Kiyo: "we are in a cooperative relationship, right? so there is no need to worry"
Suzune: "I really don't understand you"
Tatsuya: "no comments"
Kiyo: "by the way, do you guys now where Class C's base is?"
Kanzaki: "just head south from here"
Kiyo: "I see. Lets get moving, Horikita, Shiba"
Shiba kun and Horikita san then followed Ayanokoji kun, leaving us behind
Kanzaki: "what do you think about Ayanokoji's action?"
Ichinose: "I don't know, I cant understand him"
Kanzaki: "yeah, just what is he doing?"
Ayanokoji kun, just who are you?
Timeskip, Class C's base
Kiyotaka POV
Just before passing through the forest, from the bushes we saw a lot of Cclass students on the beach. The situation we were looking at had been far beyond our imagination.
Suzune: "It can't be... This kind of stuff... Is it possible?"
As if she couldn't believe the sight, Horikita was repeating "impossible" many times over.I thought the same. It was a pattern we didn't expect at all. There weren't only provisional toilets and a shower room installed. Turf with sunlight protection, barbecue set, chairs, parasols, snacks and drinks.
There were all kinds of equipment necessary for entertainment.Smoke from a burning meat and laughter. On the coast, the students were loudly enjoying the sea while the water bikes were running through. Even with only roughly calculating the visible range, more than 150 points were spit out.
Suzune: "What the hell is class C doing? Does this mean they don't have to save points?"
We could only think that way looking at this. It exceeded the level of splurging.
Tatsuya: "Let's check that out. What is class C plans to get by doing this?"
The three of us walked in on the beach from the bushes, stepping firmly on the sand. One of the male students noticed us and called out to the boy nearby. We couldn't see his face from here well because he leaned his body on a chair. One of the boys immediately rushed to us.
Kondou: "Err, Ryuuen-san called..."Said the male student somewhat frightened, or perhaps I should say without drives.
Suzune: "Just like a king. Using classmates like this. Looks like we're welcomed by the king. What are we going to do?"
Tatsuya: "That's on you to decide, Horikita."
Suzune: "Alright. I wanna know what's going on. Let's go."
We accepted and accompanied the male student. A savory smell of burned meat got into our noses as we approached the sea.
Suzune: "......This is outrageous."
I realized again how we're not enjoying vacation even a little.We drew near the guy who seemed to had commanded this dionysia.
Tatsuya: "You seems to be having fun, Ryuuen"
Ryuuen, who was tanning in the chair in his swimsuit, showed his white teeth.
Ryuuen: "Oh, if it isn't the gambler. As you can see. We're enjoying summer vacation."
He said this spreading his hands, showing off the entertainment that fully unfolded on the beach.
Tatsuya: "what do you mean by the gambler?"
Ryuuen: "don't play dumb. Everyone knows you plays on that casino too often."
Shiba, it seems you really enjoy yourself
Tatsuya: "Is that so"
Suzune: "This is the trial. Do you understand what that means? Although I'm shocked that you don't understand the rules themselves..."
He was rather disappointed than delighted, being alerted about his incompetence.
Ryuuen: "Oh? I'm amazed. Does that mean you're showing humanity even to an enemy like me?"
Suzune: "If the ones at the top are incompetent, then those under will deal with hardships. That's only pitiful."
Ryuuen only laughed, taking a plastic bottle of water that was next to the walkie talkie.
Tatsuya: "How much did you use to enjoy this much of pleasure?"
Ryuuen: "Hah. I wonder. I didn't neatly calculated." Without hiding, Ryuuen answered.
Ryuuen: "Jeez. It's already getting warmer. Hey, Ishizaki. Bring ice-cold water."
He said, throwing away about half of the remaining water in sand provokingly.Ishizaki, who was playing volleyball in vicinity, rushed to get the water into the tent. A large number of what appeared to be card-boxes with food and water were carelessly piled up in the tent. Ishizaki looked into a cooler box next to the boxes.
Ryuuen: "As you can see we're only enjoying summer vacation. Basically, it's impossible for us to become your enemies during the trial. Do you understand?"
As if she's having a headache, Horikita pressed her forehead in non-understandment, creating wrinkles between the eyebrows.
Suzune: "It's not about being enemies, but the matter we said before. I was foolish for being alerted and coming here."
Ryuuen: "Who's foolish? Is it really me? Or is it you?"
Far from accepting insults, Ryuuen clapped back at Horikita likewise.
Ryuuen: "Survival on this awfully hot inhabited island? Isn't that a joke? In order to pick up 100 or 200 small class points you, the lowest class D, have to put up with hunger, heat and emptiness. You're making me laugh by just imagining it."
Running over the sandy beach, Ishizaki came back with new water dripping with sweat, handing over to Ryuuen what looked like a cold pet bottle. However, the moment Ryuuen took the bottle he threw it at Ishizaki's body.
Ryuuen: "I said bring ice-cold water. This one is still warm."
Ishizaki: "B...B-but.
Ryuuen: "Huh?"
Ryuuen's sharp pupils resembled those of a snake. Making his body stiffened, Ishizaki picked up the pet bottle and ran toward the tent again.
Suzune: "... This trial is about endurance, calculation and cooperation. That seems impossible for you from the beginning. You can't even set up a proper plan. You couldn't even last a week using points this lavishly. Living hell would arrive sometime soon. And at that time things like turfs, parasols and chairs would only become obstacles."
Ryuuen: "Cooperation? Don't make me laugh. People easily betray. Lie. Relationships involving trust aren't practical. You can only trust yourself. If your scouting is finished then leave. Well, if you truly desire you're welcomed. You can enjoy yourself as you like, whether it's eating meat or having fun on the water bike. You can join us if you want"
Tatsuya: "oh, don't mind if I do"
Suzune: "what are you doing?"
Tatsuya: "well, he is offering it. So why not accept?"
Ryuuen: "kukuku, see? the gambler agrees with me"
Shiba then proceeds to join the class C on the beach. How carefree of him
Suzune: "what a let down."
Ryuuen: "I hate hard work. Patience? Saving? You must be kidding."
Ishizaki came back again and stretched out the water. After receiving the water, Ryuuen opened the cap and drank it up.
Ryuuen "This is my way of doing things. No more, no less."
Suzune: "Right. Well, do as you please. It works fine with us"
Horikita turned around to leave, but as she made a step to move, she hesitated and stopped.
Suzune: "There is just one more matter. You know Ibuki, right?"
Ryuuen: "Ah, yes! She is a member of our class. What about her, though?"
Suzune: "Her face is swollen. What is the meaning of this? Who did this to her?"
Almost as having decided who the culprit is, Horikita made an indirect hint towards him
Ryuuen: "Heh? I thought she ran away. What? After all, she asked help from the members of another class instead of her own, right? What a pitiful woman! "Ryuuen laughed scornfully and once more he lied down.
Ryuuen: "Within this world, there are a lot of hopeless idiots, a ruler of command does not need underlings that go against his will. It was decided that I get to use the points of my class as I like. That is a matter of decision. Besides, it would be pointless if somebody was about to rise in revolt"
Kiyo: "In other words, the way Ibuki ended up meeting us, is related to the way you used the points"
Ryuuen: "Well, if you want to think of it in a simple manner, I guess it is. That is why we gave her a light punishment"
Saying that he made a movement like giving a punch to an invisible cheek. Just as I thought it was Ryuuen who punched her face.
Ryuuen: "There was another guy who defied me. I expelled him, too, of course. I learned from some piece of information that he is not dead, but he is somewhere living by lying on the grass trying to catch bugs to eat."
I did not feel that this was a remark towards a friend. However, here we must agree on one thing. We found out about Ibuki's absence during the roll call, so her absence has no effect whatsoever on class C. That is why her classmates did not bother to look for her at all. Horikita noticed the fact that all this was done in order to delay us.That's right. Since the beginning of this examination, we were granted with 300 points, if now they are minus these points, then they are as good as lost already. Where and how? And more importantly. Who had the idea to use all the points? The effect of this decision is nonexistent at the moment.
Ryuuen: "So, that's how it is. It is me who used all our points. Ibuki is not the kind of person that she would be charmed by points. So, do not mind about her. Besides that is what we call freedom, right?"
Suzune: "Well... It is definitely an unexpected turn of events to be with 0 points"
That is exactly what a minus factor is. They are going to negate this with their 0 point strategy. It is an unexpected way of fighting, but even though it will not help them reach the highest ranks it will definitely will not let C class end up at the bottom.
Even if the leaders of all the classes are proven to be the right choices, they cannot expand their points more than 150.
Ryuuen: "If Ibuki was really at your place, then it would be better that you have expelled her already. Your awkward sympathy will not help her. Plus, it will save you provisions that you waste for one extra member, for water and food and bed and other arrangements. Anyhow, you do not have to put up with this any longer, she can come back now. If she kneels and begs for forgiveness, I will allow her comeback, with a generous heart "
He seems to have the conviction that even if they defy him and running away, in the end, they will return to him. Actually, he knows it would be difficult for Ibuki to live all alone for a week in a deserted island.
Suzune: "It is a simplistic way of thinking, right? You may think that I am doing this for the favour of the points. But even if there is something else hidden, what are you planning to do? After all, even the simple task of finding food, here, is a hardship"
Ryuuen: "Hehehe, well what should I do? After all ordinary people have to express their uncomplicated ideas. You have become desperate into protecting the points bestowed to us, who to choose for a leader, to find and protect a spot for the team, searching in the woods for provisions drenched in sweat, completely foolish"
Even if we want to see the truth it is unreachable. His state of things is not just confusing, Ryuuen's way of thinking is just laughable.
Suzune: "That's enough. Ayanokouji kun. let's go back already. If we do not go back now, I am going to feel sick. Dont forget to call that gambler too" She said while pointing at Shiba who's now eating a roasted sausage
Ryuuen: "We'll talk again, Suzune"As this conversation was about to end Ryuuen seems to remembered Horikita's first name.
Ryuuen: "Well, confident women are not unpleasant to me. Anyway, I will let you submit in front of me. That time will be the ultimate moment and I will savor it."
Horikita paid no mind and just left. Sigh, she seems to be pissed at Ryuuen.
I walked towards Shiba
Kiyo: "yo"
Tatsuya: "ah, Ayanokoji. Here, have this"
Shiba handed me another sausage, of course I'll accept
Kiyo: "this is good"
Tatsuya: "well, guys. I will be heading back"
Random Class C girl: "byebye, Shiba kun"
Its not suprising at all. Shiba is ranked number 2 at Ikemen list after all
Kiyo: "As expected of the number 2 Ikemen"
Tatsuya: "you're one to talk, number 4"
Kiyo: "wait what?"
Tatsuya: "nothing. By the way, you want some?" Shiba opened a pack of potato chips.
Kiyo: "sure" I took one and ate it
Tatsuya: "did you notice?"
Kiyo: "yeah, the same walkie talkie as Ibuki"
Tatsuya: "lets not jump into conclusion and see it for ourself tomorrow"
Kiyo: "yeah"
Timeskip, Day 4
Tatsuya POV
Tatsuya: "as expected"
Kiyo: "yeah"
we were currently at Class C's abandoned basecamp. They seriously retire huh
Tatsuya: "lets go back. There is nothing here anymore"
Kiyo: "yeah"
Day 4, there is nothing noteworthy happened, but in day 5...
Day 5, watch tower, 5.50 AM
Tatsuya: "its done. Now, tomorrow we will execute this"
Kiyo: "yeah, I'm looking forward to it"
We then descended from the watch tower and went straight back to our camp.
But when we got back, the camp was in chaos
Tatsuya: "hah, as always. Class D will always be Class D"
Kiyo: "another bickering huh"
Shinohara: "Sorry Hirata-kun. It's something that doesn't concern you, Hirata-kun but........We've gathered here because there's something I have to check at any cost."
Shinohara gave everyone, except Hirata, a look of contempt and then she spoke.
Shinohara: "This morning, well... Karuizawa-san's underwear was missing. Do you know what that means?"
Hirata: "EH... UNDERWEAR?"
Even Hirata, who was always calm, appeared shaken and upset at the completely unexpected situation. Which reminded me, I couldn't see neither Karuizawa nor the other girls.
Shinohara: "Now Karuizawa-san is inside the tent, crying. Kushida-san and others are comforting her but..."
Saying so, Shinohara looked to the girls' tent.
Ike: "Eh? Ehhhhh? What, Why are you glaring at us knowing that the underwear is missing?"
Shinohara: "We decided that someone, in the middle of the night, went through the bag and stole it. The luggage had been put outside so if someone thought of stealing all of it, they could have done so after all." what a foolish reasoning
Ike: "NONONONONONONONO!? EH? EHH?"
Ike looked alternatively to the boys and girls in total panic. A boy, looking at the situation, coughed out in a calm voice.
Miyamoto: "Come to think of it Ike, you yesterday... You went to the toilet quite late. You took a long time."
Ike: "No no no! I was struggling because it was dark!""It's true. You're the one who stole Karuizawa's underwear."
Hondo: "Well, you're wrong! Don't do that!"
The boys begun putting the blame on each other for the nasty and offensive crime.
Tatsuya: "coming back here was a mistake"
Kiyo: "I got to agree with you. This is too troublesome"
Shinohara: "Anyway. I guess this is really a big problem? But it's impossible to live camping in the same place as those underwear thieves."Shinohara, who looked like she was about to lose her temper, offered a monish with her arms crossed.
Shinohara: "So Hirata-kun. You can manage to find the culprit somehow, right?"
Hirata: "That's...... But there's no evidence that the boys have stolen it. There's a possibility that Karuizawa-san has lost it."
Idiot Boys: "That's right! We have nothing to do with this!!"All the boys shouted at the top of their lungs from behind Hirata, proclaiming their innocence.
Hirata: "I don't want to think that there's a culprit here."It seemed vile to doubt our classmates and not to shield them.
Shinohara: "I know that Hirata-kun is not the culprit... But, for the time being, let me check the other boys' luggage."
Apparently it seemed like the girls didn't change their idea, and they perpetuated the idea of the culprit who is on the boys' side. Well, it's impossible not to think such a thing in this kind of context.
Sudo: "EH? Stop saying bullshit. You don't need to do such a thing. Hirata, just say no."
Hirata: "For now, we will gather and talk with all the boys. We may have a little time, right."
Shinohara: "If you say so, Hirata-kun Ok I understand. I will talk to Karuizawa-san as well. But if the culprit can't be found, we have an idea as well on who is on it."
After saying this, the gathering dissolved. Hirata quickly gathered all the boys again to have a talk in front of the tent.
Ike: "Let's just ignore what the girls said. You'll feel bad if you're suspected. I will fight!"
On the first day, I thought Ike obtained a certain degree of trust from the girls but it seems like it was pretension after all.
It's obvious that even the suspected boys will get uncomfortable if they are falsely suspected.
Yamauchi: "Exactly. There's no way that one of us has stolen Karuizawa's underwear."
Yamauchi, following the rest of the boys, looked at each of them. It's not that Karuizawa isn't pretty. But since Karuizawa is Hirata's girlfriend, it's more convenient for guys to chase after Kushida or Sakura.
Hirata: "I'm not going to doubt you, guys. But I think this problem won't ever be resolved like this...."T
he girls, who were talking and conspiring together over there, were now nearly jumping towards us.
Hirata: "To prove your innocence, it's better for you to respond to your luggage inspection in a confident and dignified way."
Having said that, Hirata himself brought out his bag.
Hirata: "As miserable as I am, I still responded to the girls' request, that's why you guys have to keep up by doing the same. Are we good?"
Yamauchi: "B... But......"
Hirata: "Of course, I can open it first."
To mobilize someone, although I thought we had no choice but to start acting by ourselves, there would be no one who thought that Hirata was actually the culprit, including boys, not just girls.
To say that he stole his girlfriend's underwear, in the first place, is a bit of a contradiction. However, if the first one disclosed his luggage this way, we couldn't help but follow the example. It was inevitable that the students who didn't show the content of their bags were going to be suspected. Hirata's bag, naturally, was bound to not to have any underwear.
Ike: "There's no other choice..."
Influenced by Hirata's actions, all the boys began pulling out their bags from the tent, one after another.Ike and Yamauchi have been disliking this the whole time but they couldn't go against the flow of things. Including me, us 3 became the last to go.
So I guess I was finally going to the tent. I was following the other two.
Sudo: "Shit, I'm mad. Men are suspected unconditionally and irrevocably. It's too unreasonable."
Ike: "Well, let's prove our innocence in a confident way and triumph over them."Ike started to stand up while grabbing the bag but suddenly he stopped and stood still.
Kiyo: "What's wrong?"
Ike: "Ahh, Nothing..."
Abruptly, he turned his back to Hirata and the others and sat down. Checking the inside of his bag, he closed the zipper like he was confused.
Yamauchi: "Kanji?"Ike was rigid with a pale face. He was unmovable like he was having a temporary feeling of paralysis.
Yamauchi: "Come on, let's go?"Yamauchi was watching Ike, whose appearance became suddenly strange, and he said half-jokingly:"Maybe you stole it"
Ike: "What..?!! You're... You're wrong!"
Ike hastily denied it, shaking his head while holding the bag in his hands. What a blatant reaction. We haven't become that dull as if we don't have any emotions, after all.
Yamauchi: "You... Don't tell me..."
Ike: "What? Are you suspecting me?!"
Yamauchi: "No, that's not it... Just... The bag... Show me what's inside."
Ike: "Ah! Wait..."
Yamauchi grabbed the bag as he was really going to examine it. There it is...White underwear that men absolutely do not wear. It was curled up and well hidden.
Ike: "Eh! That's not mine! Somehow this was put in my bag!"
Yamauchi: "Hey now, give me a better excuse."As Ike was in panic, Yamauchi's look towards him was one of pity.
Ike: "I am telling you, I do not know! Seriously! Why there is... u... underwear in my bag?!"
Tatsuya: "good condolence, Ike"
Following my lead, all the boys gave Ike a salute, as if he is going to be executed
Ike: "NOOOOOOO"
Ike: "Hey, Ayanokouji, you do believe me right? Because I haven't stolen it."
Kiyo: "Judging from the situation, there is no concrete evidence that Ike is the culprit."
Ike: "Ayanokouji!"
Kiyo: "However, I cannot deny that there is a high possibility that he is the culprit. If he is the culprit though, then he is too stupid."
Yamauchi: "Well, that's true... But... Then... What happened? You mean somebody put it in Kanji's bag?"
Kiyo: "That is what I must figure it out."
Random boy: "Hey! Hurry up!"
A boyish voice flew from Hirata's companions.
Ike: "Wh... Wh... What am I going to do? I am in serious trouble"
If the stolen thing was found here, no matter what the boys said, the girls would declare that Ike is the culprit.
Yamauchi: "Anyway, we have no choice but to hide it. For now."
Ike: "Hide it? Where? There is no place to hide it!"
It's true that given our situation, we couldn't hide it at the moment. If we went to the toilets or the tents, the girls watching over this place would be suspicious of our movements and maybe would demand to search us. Above all we are spending too much time here. We may already be suspected.
Kiyo: "No other way. Put it in your pocket."
That was all the advice Ayanokoji could give him. There was no time to hide it in my underwear or my socks and we should draw no further attention to any suspicious activity.
Ike: "I... I can't do it... I am already in a panic."
Kiyo: "Ike, do you want to survive or no?"
Ike: "YES!"
Kiyo: "then hide it you moron, think about your survival"
Ike: "ugh, fine"
Ike puts the underwear on his pocket
Tatsuya: "you have a way with your words"
Kiyo: "wow, you're one to talk"
And after all the checking, the culprit was not tracked at all
It seems Hirata defended Ike after all. What a hero
Shinohara: "still, we don't want to sleep near these guys. Move out!"
seriously? I thought Hirata declared that there is no culprit
Mori: "yeah, move out"
Maezono: "we don't want to sleep near you guys"
Sudo: "HAH! WHAT THE HELL!"
And.. the bickering starts again. This is getting troublesome
I decided to glare with my dark eyes
Tatsuya: "oi"
All Class D students all looked at me with fear. Except Ayanokoji of course
Tatsuya: "can you guys please shut up? this is getting ugly. Hirata already said that the boys were not the culprit. If you want to accuse us, then came up with an accurate reasoning"
No one is able to answer me. They're all too afraid to talk back
Tatsuya: "sigh, I'm sorry for glaring like that. But please understand the situation and think rationally. Bickering wont do us any good. If you guys want to pass this exam smoothly, then keep all your talk for yourself"
Hirata: "I agree with you, Shiba kun."
All the girls and boys just agreed because I know they wanted to pass this test smoothly
Kushida: "okay, lets have breakfast, everyone"
All: "yeah!"
Seriously, it took just that to silence their bickering. This is all too easy
Kiyo: "quite a bold move from you"
Tatsuya: "its necessary"
Kiyo: "whatever. Well, I hope everything proceeds smoothly later"
Tatsuya: "don't worry. If the two of us join hands, we will ace this exam"
Kiyo: "you sure are confident"
Tatsuya: "of course, without you, this plan will not function at all"
Kiyo: "well thank you"
Now then
Time to horde a lot of money
To Be Continued
