"What happened?"
Shiina, who was tidying her hair, heard the sound of arguing from the tent, so she poked her head in to ask.
The next second, she was hugged by Amane.
"Waaah waaah waaah, Hiyori, they're framing me, saying I took advantage of them. I sleep so honestly, how could I do such a thing? You have to stand up for me, waaah waaah waaah."
Looking at Amane, who had been crying for a long time without a single tear and was still rubbing against her chest.
Shiina could only give a wry smile.
"Um..."
Shiina originally intended to investigate the situation first, but she immediately saw that none of the girls in the tent had escaped unscathed. Shiina felt that the evidence seemed conclusive.
"How about we call Mr. Sakaue to ask how to deal with this situation?"
Shiina could only agree with Nishino's suggestion and sent someone to call Mr. Sakaue.
Upon hearing that Amane might have violated school rules, Mr. Sakaue immediately emerged from his tent and rushed to the scene of the incident.
"Miyako-san! How can you, a Disciplinary Committee Member, do something that violates school regulations? You've truly disappointed us!"
Mr. Sakaue's heartbroken expression left Amane stunned.
"Mr. Sakaue, what regulations have I violated?"
Amane looked at Mr. Sakaue confusedly.
Mr. Sakaue was about to list Amane's offenses but suddenly got stuck.
That's right!
What school regulations had she violated?
But she, alone, had acted on so many girls. It couldn't be that she hadn't violated anything, could it?
The school's penalties for transgressions involving the opposite sex were quite severe; even acts of indecency or harassment, if discovered, would immediately lead to expulsion.
Amane's actions, to call them indecent, would be an understatement.
But... the school had never had rules or regulations restricting intimate behavior between girls.
Could it be that her chaotic behavior truly didn't violate any school discipline?
Mr. Sakaue's expression kept changing.
Shiina immediately saw the problem.
If Amane were of the opposite sex, she would probably be facing expulsion by now, but the problem was that Amane was a girl!!!
Kou-Iku had not considered this point when setting up the school rules and regulations concerning the conduct between girls.
The only thing that could be pointed out was indecency.
However, the school's interpretation of indecency was that both parties had to participate in inappropriate behavior for it to be confirmed.
In other words, if Amane were punished for this reason, all the girls in the tent would have to bear responsibility... It could be said that there wasn't a single rule that applied to Amane.
Shiina sighed inwardly.
"Mr. Sakaue, Amane might just be getting to know everyone for the first time and was eager to integrate, so her jokes went a bit too far. I hope Mr. Sakaue won't hold Amane responsible, as her intentions were good."
Shiina's words provided a way out for both sides.
Mr. Sakaue's face was ashen, and he said nothing. Amane was about to deny her actions when Shiina tugged at Amane's sleeve.
Looking at the distressed Shiina, Amane could only perfunctorily apologize to the people in the tent.
And said she would be more careful next time.
Then... then Amane was kicked out of the tent.
Helpless, Shiina could only arrange for Amane to stay in her small tent. This small tent was only for Shiina, and it was filled with a large number of free plastic bags as cushions, making it quite comfortable to lie on.
"Hiyori, what are we having for lunch today?"
As soon as she put down her bag, Amane eagerly inquired about today's lunch.
